Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioner technology, and in particular to a protective temperature correction method, device, medium, and air conditioner. Background Technology
[0002] The temperature sensor for the outdoor coil of an air conditioner is usually located near the condenser outlet. For air conditioning systems with a small number of flow paths, when the compressor operates at high frequency, the refrigerant flow rate increases, and the system pressure drop increases accordingly. In addition, since the temperature sensor is installed in the later stage of the refrigerant flow, the outdoor coil temperature may decrease as the compressor frequency increases.
[0003] This situation will cause the outdoor coil temperature to remain below the protection threshold when the compressor is running at high frequency, thus preventing the outdoor coil protection logic from being effectively triggered. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a protection temperature correction method, device, medium, and air conditioner to solve the problem that in the existing technology, when the outdoor coil temperature decreases as the compressor frequency increases, the collected outdoor coil temperature is always lower than the protection threshold, which leads to the outdoor coil protection logic not being effectively triggered.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, after adjusting the initial protection temperature of the outdoor coil temperature based on the first temperature correction value to obtain the first target protection temperature, the method further includes: When the current outdoor temperature is detected to be higher than the temperature threshold, a second temperature correction value is determined based on the current outdoor ambient temperature. The first target protection temperature is adjusted downward based on the second temperature correction value to obtain the second target protection temperature; wherein the second target protection temperature is negatively correlated with the current outdoor temperature.
[0010] In some embodiments of this application, determining the second temperature correction value based on the current outdoor ambient temperature includes: Obtain the second mapping relationship under the current operating frequency; wherein, the second mapping relationship is used to indicate the temperature correction value corresponding to different outdoor ambient temperatures; The temperature correction value corresponding to the current outdoor ambient temperature in the second mapping relationship is determined as the second temperature correction value.
[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the step of adjusting the first target protection temperature downward based on the second temperature correction value to obtain the second target protection temperature includes: When the second temperature correction value is the temperature difference, the first target protection temperature is subtracted from the second temperature correction value to obtain the second target protection temperature; wherein the temperature difference is a positive number; or, When the second temperature correction value is a temperature coefficient, the first target protection temperature is multiplied by the second temperature correction value to obtain the second target protection temperature; wherein, the temperature coefficient is a coefficient between 0 and 1.
[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the first temperature correction value is determined by the current operating frequency based on a first mapping relationship, and the second temperature correction value is determined by the current outdoor ambient temperature based on a second mapping relationship; The methods for determining the first mapping relationship and the second mapping relationship include: Under the first test condition, the outdoor coil temperature and condenser pressure of the compressor are acquired at the test operating frequency; wherein, the first test condition triggers the target abnormal situation and is under the test outdoor ambient temperature.

[0017] This invention provides a protection temperature correction method, device, medium, and air conditioner.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or apparatuses.
[0022] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0023] This invention provides a protective temperature correction method, apparatus, medium, and air conditioner. In some embodiments of this application, the provided protective temperature correction method can be applied to an air conditioner. Specifically, the air conditioner can be applied to different scenarios, including but not limited to industrial air conditioners or household air conditioners. In some embodiments of this application, the air conditioner can be a single unit, such as a cabinet air conditioner or a wall-mounted air conditioner; in some embodiments of this application, the air conditioner can also be a central air conditioning system composed of multiple air conditioner units, such as a multi-split air conditioner, an air-cooled heat pump system, or an air conditioning system with heat recovery function.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the protective temperature correction method provided in the first embodiment of this application. Although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than that shown in the figures. Specifically, the specific flow of the protective temperature correction method provided in the first embodiment of this application is as follows: S101: When an abnormal situation is detected that triggers the target, the current operating frequency of the compressor is obtained.
[0025] Among them, the target abnormal condition indicates that the outdoor coil temperature decreases as the compressor frequency increases.
[0026] In some embodiments of this application, before obtaining the current operating frequency of the compressor in S101, the following steps are further performed: when the monitored rate of change of the compressor current is greater than 0 and the rate of change of the outdoor coil temperature is less than 0, a target abnormal condition is determined to be triggered. And / or, when the monitored rate of change of the compressor exhaust temperature is greater than 0 and the rate of change of the outdoor coil temperature is less than 0, a target abnormal condition is determined to be triggered.
[0027] Understandably, the rate of change of current reflects the change in the compressor's operating load. When the rate of change of current is greater than 0, it means that the compressor's input power has increased. Similarly, when the rate of change of exhaust temperature is greater than 0, it also means that the compressor's input power has increased. Under normal operating conditions, an increase in compressor frequency will accelerate the refrigerant circulation speed and improve heat exchange efficiency, and the outdoor coil temperature should increase accordingly (rate of change > 0). However, when the rate of change is less than 0, it means that the coil temperature is decreasing instead, which contradicts the normal trend of increasing frequency. This triggers the target abnormal situation. This abnormality will cause the outdoor coil temperature to remain below the initial protection threshold when the compressor is running at high frequency, making it impossible for the outdoor coil protection logic to be effectively triggered. This may lead to system damage due to actual overload (such as excessive refrigerant flow rate or excessive pressure drop). Therefore, it is necessary to obtain the compressor's current operating frequency and then adjust the protection threshold through subsequent temperature correction to ensure that the protection logic can respond in a timely manner.
[0028] S102, determine the first temperature correction value based on the current operating frequency.
[0029] The first temperature correction value refers to the correction value used to adjust the initial protection temperature of the outdoor coil. The first temperature correction value can be the temperature difference associated with the current operating frequency, the temperature coefficient associated with the current operating frequency, or other forms, which are not limited here.
[0030] In some embodiments of this application, S102, determining the first temperature correction value based on the current operating frequency, specifically includes the following steps: obtaining a first mapping relationship under the current outdoor ambient temperature; and determining the temperature correction value corresponding to the current operating frequency in the first mapping relationship as the first temperature correction value.
[0031] The first mapping relationship is used to indicate the temperature correction value corresponding to different operating frequencies of the compressor. The first mapping relationship can be in the form of an interval table, a mapping function, or other forms, which are not limited here.
[0032] For example, the first mapping relationship is in the form of an interval table. Assuming the current outdoor ambient temperature is 36℃, the specific form of the first mapping relationship under the current outdoor ambient temperature is as follows:
[0033] If the compressor is currently operating at a frequency of 75Hz (which falls within the range of 60Hz≤F<80Hz), then the corresponding correction value of 6℃ is directly obtained from this mapping relationship, i.e., the first temperature correction value is 6℃.
[0034] Alternatively, the first mapping relationship can be in the form of a mapping function. For example, if the current outdoor temperature is 30℃, the first mapping relationship under this temperature is a preset function: .in, This is the first temperature correction value, where F is the compressor operating frequency. It takes effect when F ≥ 30Hz; otherwise, it does not. =0℃. If the compressor's current operating frequency is 55Hz, substituting into the function yields: =0.12×(55-30)=0.12×25=3℃, so the first temperature correction value is 3℃. Of course, other forms are also possible, and are not limited here.
[0035] S103, the initial protection temperature of the outdoor coil is adjusted downward based on the first temperature correction value to obtain the first target protection temperature.
[0036] The initial protection temperature refers to the outdoor coil protection trigger temperature threshold set by default in the air conditioning system without correction; the first target protection temperature refers to the outdoor coil protection trigger temperature threshold obtained after being corrected down by the first temperature correction value, and the first target protection temperature is negatively correlated with the current operating frequency.
[0037] In some embodiments of this application, step S103, which involves adjusting the initial protection temperature of the outdoor coil based on a first temperature correction value to obtain a first target protection temperature, specifically includes the following steps: when the first temperature correction value is a temperature difference, subtracting the first temperature correction value from the initial protection temperature to obtain the first target protection temperature; or, when the first temperature correction value is a temperature coefficient, multiplying the initial protection temperature by the first temperature correction value to obtain the first target protection temperature.
[0038] The temperature difference is a positive number. The temperature coefficient is a coefficient between 0 and 1.
[0039] For example, assuming the initial protection temperature is 65℃ and the first temperature correction value is 7℃, the first target protection temperature after the correction is 58℃. Alternatively, assuming the initial protection temperature is 62℃ and the first temperature correction value is 0.88, the first target protection temperature after the correction is 54.56℃ (in practical applications, the temperature can be rounded up as needed).
[0040] Understandably, regarding the anomaly of "outdoor coil temperature decreasing when compressor frequency increases," the initial protection temperature no longer matches the actual operating conditions. It needs to be adjusted downwards to adapt to the real state. This includes subtracting the difference from the initial protection temperature if the first temperature correction value is a positive number, and multiplying the initial protection temperature by the coefficient if it's a coefficient between 0 and 1. Both methods lower the protection trigger threshold, allowing the outdoor coil protection logic to be triggered. Furthermore, the higher the operating frequency, the faster the refrigerant flow rate, the greater the system pressure drop, and the more significant the deviation between the outdoor coil temperature and the actual heat exchange load (lower temperature). The difference between the initial protection temperature and the actual safety threshold also increases. Therefore, the downward adjustment range corresponding to the correction value needs to be increased accordingly, ultimately making the first target protection temperature negatively correlated with the frequency. This ensures that the protection logic can be triggered promptly during high-frequency operation, avoiding protection failure due to temperature misjudgment.
[0041] In the above embodiment, when an abnormal situation is detected where the outdoor coil temperature decreases as the compressor frequency increases, the current operating frequency of the compressor is first obtained. Then, a corresponding first temperature correction value is determined based on this frequency. Finally, this correction value is used to lower the initial protection temperature of the outdoor coil, resulting in a first target protection temperature that is negatively correlated with the current operating frequency. This solution dynamically lowers the protection temperature based on the compressor operating frequency, ensuring that the protection threshold under high-frequency operating conditions is adapted to the reduced actual coil temperature. This guarantees that the protection logic is effectively triggered and prevents overload damage to the equipment due to lack of protection.
[0042] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the protection temperature correction method provided in the second embodiment of this application. Although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than that shown in the figures. Specifically, the specific flow of the protection temperature correction method provided in the second embodiment of this application is as follows: S201: When an abnormal situation is detected that triggers the target, the current operating frequency of the compressor is obtained.
[0043] S202, determine the first temperature correction value based on the current operating frequency.
[0044] S203, the initial protection temperature of the outdoor coil is adjusted downward based on the first temperature correction value to obtain the first target protection temperature.
[0045] In some embodiments of this application, the principles of S201-S203 are basically the same as those of S101-S103 in the protection temperature correction method provided in the first embodiment, so they will not be described again.
[0046] S204, when the current outdoor temperature is detected to be greater than the temperature threshold, a second temperature correction value is determined based on the current outdoor ambient temperature.
[0047] Among them, the correction value determined based on the outdoor ambient temperature is used to make a second downward adjustment to the first target protection temperature. The second temperature correction value can be a temperature difference associated with the current outdoor temperature, or it can be associated with the current outdoor temperature, or it can be in other forms, which are not limited here.
[0048] In some embodiments of this application, step S204, determining the second temperature correction value based on the current outdoor ambient temperature, specifically includes the following steps: obtaining a second mapping relationship at the current operating frequency; and determining the temperature correction value corresponding to the current outdoor ambient temperature in the second mapping relationship as the second temperature correction value.
[0049] The second mapping relationship is used to indicate the temperature correction value corresponding to different outdoor ambient temperatures. The second mapping relationship can be in the form of an interval table, a mapping function, or other forms, which are not limited here.
[0050] For example, the second mapping relationship is in the form of an interval table. Assuming the current compressor operating frequency is 70Hz, the specific form of the second mapping relationship at this compressor operating frequency is as follows:
[0051] If the current outdoor ambient temperature is 38℃ (which falls within the range of 35℃≤T<40℃), then the corresponding coefficient 0.85 is obtained from this mapping relationship, which is the second temperature correction value of 0.85.
[0052] Alternatively, the second mapping relationship can be in the form of a mapping function. Assuming the current compressor operating frequency is 65Hz, the second mapping relationship at this current compressor operating frequency is a preset function: =1-0.005×(T-25) (where This is the second temperature correction value, where T is the outdoor ambient temperature. It takes effect when T ≥ 25℃; when T < 25℃, =1. If the current outdoor temperature is 36℃, substitute it into the function to calculate: =1-0.005×(36-25)=1-0.055=0.945, that is, the second temperature correction value is 0.945 (the actual accuracy can be adjusted as needed).
[0053] S205, the first target protection temperature is adjusted downward based on the second temperature correction value to obtain the second target protection temperature.
[0054] The second target protection temperature refers to the final outdoor coil protection trigger temperature threshold obtained by adjusting the first target protection temperature using the second temperature correction value, and the second target protection temperature is negatively correlated with the current outdoor temperature.
[0055] In some embodiments of this application, step S205, which involves adjusting the first target protection temperature based on a second temperature correction value to obtain a second target protection temperature, specifically includes the following steps: when the second temperature correction value is a temperature difference, subtracting the second temperature correction value from the first target protection temperature to obtain the second target protection temperature; or, when the second temperature correction value is a temperature coefficient, multiplying the first target protection temperature by the second temperature correction value to obtain the second target protection temperature.
[0056] The temperature difference is a positive number. The temperature coefficient is a coefficient between 0 and 1.
[0057] For example, assuming the first target protection temperature is 58℃ and the second temperature correction value is 5℃, the second target protection temperature after the correction is 53℃. Alternatively, assuming the first target protection temperature is 54.56℃ and the second temperature correction value is 0.92, the second target protection temperature after the correction is 50.2℃ (in practical applications, the temperature can be rounded up as needed).
[0058] Understandably, the higher the operating temperature, the greater the difficulty of heat dissipation for the air conditioner, leading to a corresponding increase in the overall system heat exchange load. This significantly raises the condensation pressure and temperature of the refrigerant in the condenser, greatly increasing the potential risk of system pressure overshoot. Simultaneously, the external coil temperature detected by the temperature sensor under high-temperature conditions is inherently lower due to the abnormal "temperature drop with increasing frequency" phenomenon. Furthermore, the higher the outdoor temperature, the more pronounced the deviation between this detected temperature and the system's actual safety threshold. If the protection temperature is not adjusted accordingly, it will result in delayed external coil temperature protection, further exacerbating the risk of system pressure overshoot. Therefore, the first target protection temperature needs to be further adjusted downwards based on the second temperature correction value. This includes subtracting the difference from the first target protection temperature when the second temperature correction value is a positive difference, and multiplying the first target protection temperature by the coefficient when the second temperature correction value is a temperature coefficient between 0 and 1. Both methods can lower the protection trigger threshold, ensuring that the protection logic can be triggered promptly under high-temperature conditions and effectively avoiding the risk of equipment overload damage.
[0059] In some embodiments of this application, the first temperature correction value is determined based on a first mapping relationship using the current operating frequency, and the second temperature correction value is determined based on a second mapping relationship using the current outdoor ambient temperature. The determination of the first and second mapping relationships specifically includes the following steps: Under the first test condition, the outdoor coil temperature and condenser pressure of the compressor are acquired at the test operating frequency. The temperature corresponding to the condenser pressure and the outdoor coil temperature are calculated to obtain the temperature correction value corresponding to the test operating frequency. Based on the temperature correction values corresponding to all test operating frequencies, a first mapping relationship is determined under the test outdoor ambient temperature.
[0060] Under the second test condition, the outdoor coil temperature and condenser pressure of the compressor are acquired at the test outdoor temperature. The temperature corresponding to the condenser pressure and the outdoor coil temperature are calculated to obtain the temperature correction value corresponding to the test outdoor temperature. Based on the temperature correction values corresponding to all test outdoor temperatures, a second mapping relationship is determined for the test operating frequency.
[0061] The first test condition triggers the target abnormality under the test outdoor ambient temperature. The second test condition triggers the target abnormality under the test operating frequency. The test operating frequency refers to the compressor operating frequency parameter preset for calibrating the mapping relationship in both the first and second test conditions. The test outdoor ambient temperature refers to the outdoor ambient temperature parameter preset for calibrating the mapping relationship in both the first and second test conditions. The temperature corresponding to the condenser pressure refers to the saturation temperature calculated based on the condenser pressure value collected under the test conditions and combined with the pressure-temperature characteristic curve of the refrigerant.
[0062] For example, under the first test condition (triggering the target abnormal situation and fixing the outdoor ambient temperature at 35℃), for the four preset test operating frequencies of 40Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz, and 100Hz, the outdoor coil temperature and condenser pressure of the compressor under the corresponding operating conditions are collected respectively. The saturation temperature corresponding to the condenser pressure is calculated by combining the pressure-temperature characteristic curve of R410A refrigerant. The temperature correction value corresponding to each test operating frequency is calculated by the difference method of "saturation temperature - outdoor coil temperature". Finally, based on these correction values, the first mapping relationship under the ambient temperature of 35℃ is established by fitting calculation, and the correspondence between different compressor operating frequency ranges and the first temperature correction value is clarified.
[0063] Under the second test condition (triggering a target abnormal situation and fixing the test operation frequency to 70Hz), for four preset outdoor ambient temperatures of 30℃, 35℃, 40℃, and 45℃, the corresponding outdoor coil temperature and condenser pressure were collected. The saturation temperature was calculated based on the pressure-temperature characteristic curve of R410A refrigerant. The temperature correction value corresponding to each outdoor temperature was calculated by the ratio method of "outdoor coil temperature / saturation temperature". Then, based on these correction values, a second mapping relationship under the 70Hz operating frequency was established by fitting calculation to determine the correspondence between different outdoor ambient temperature ranges and the second temperature correction value.
[0064] To facilitate better implementation of the protective temperature correction method of this application, this application also provides a protective temperature correction device based on the above-described protective temperature correction method. The meanings of the terms used are the same as in the above-described protective temperature correction method, and specific implementation details can be found in the description of the method embodiments.

[0066] In the above embodiment, the acquisition module 301 is used to first acquire the current operating frequency of the compressor when an abnormal situation is detected where the outdoor coil temperature decreases as the compressor frequency increases. The determination module 302 is used to determine the corresponding first temperature correction value based on this frequency. The correction module 303 is used to finally use this correction value to lower the initial protection temperature of the outdoor coil, resulting in a first target protection temperature that is negatively correlated with the current operating frequency. This solution dynamically lowers the protection temperature based on the compressor operating frequency, ensuring that the protection threshold under high-frequency operating conditions is adapted to the reduced actual coil temperature, thus ensuring that the protection logic is effectively triggered and preventing overload damage to the equipment due to lack of protection.

[0071] In some embodiments of this application, the protective temperature correction device determines a second temperature correction value based on the current outdoor ambient temperature, including: Obtain the second mapping relationship under the current operating frequency; wherein, the second mapping relationship is used to indicate the temperature correction value corresponding to different outdoor ambient temperatures; The temperature correction value corresponding to the current outdoor ambient temperature in the second mapping relationship is determined as the second temperature correction value.
[0072] In some embodiments of this application, the protection temperature correction device performs a downward correction process on the first target protection temperature based on the second temperature correction value to obtain a second target protection temperature, including: When the second temperature correction value is the temperature difference, the first target protection temperature is subtracted from the second temperature correction value to obtain the second target protection temperature; wherein the temperature difference is a positive number; or, When the second temperature correction value is a temperature coefficient, the first target protection temperature is multiplied by the second temperature correction value to obtain the second target protection temperature; wherein, the temperature coefficient is a coefficient between 0 and 1.

[0079] In the above embodiment, when an abnormal situation is detected where the outdoor coil temperature decreases as the compressor frequency increases, the current operating frequency of the compressor is first obtained.

This solution dynamically lowers the protection temperature based on the compressor operating frequency, ensuring that the protection threshold under high-frequency operating conditions is adapted to the reduced actual coil temperature. This guarantees that the protection logic is effectively triggered and prevents overload damage to the equipment due to lack of protection.
