The memory 1005 may also be a storage device independent of the aforementioned processor 1001.
[0056] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the structure shown in FIG1 does not limit the heat recovery air conditioner and may include more or fewer components than shown, or a combination of certain components, or a different arrangement of components.
[0057] As shown in FIG1 , the memory 1005 as a storage medium may include an operating system, a network communication module, a user interface module, and a heat recovery air conditioner control program.
[0058] In the heat recovery air conditioner shown in Figure 1, the network interface 1004 is mainly used for data communication with the network server; the user interface 1003 is mainly used for data interaction with the user; the processor 1001 and the memory 1005 in the heat recovery air conditioner of this application can be set in the heat recovery air conditioner, and the heat recovery air conditioner calls the heat recovery air conditioner control program stored in the memory 1005 through the processor 1001, and executes the heat recovery air conditioner control method provided by this application.
[0059] The present application provides a heat recovery air conditioner control method. Referring to FIG. 2 , FIG. 2 is a flow chart of a first embodiment of the heat recovery air conditioner control method of the present application.
[0060] In one embodiment, the heat recovery air conditioner control method includes the following steps:
[0061] Step S10: When the heat recovery air conditioner is in the startup state, obtain the outdoor ambient temperature and the target gear position of the compressor in the outdoor unit.
[0062] In one embodiment, the execution subject of this application may be the heat recovery air conditioner described above, which has functions such as data processing, data communication, and program execution. Of course, other devices with similar functions may also be used, and these implementation conditions do not limit this. For ease of explanation, this embodiment uses a heat recovery air conditioner as an example.
[0063] It should be noted that FIG3 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the heat recovery air conditioner of the present application. In one embodiment, when it is detected that the heat recovery air conditioner is being started and is in partial heat recovery mode, that is, the outdoor unit and water tank act as condensing equipment and the indoor unit of the air conditioner acts as an evaporating equipment, some heat will be dissipated into the environment.
[0064] A heat recovery air conditioner (HAC) can simultaneously provide long-term hot water production and cooling or heating. Each component can operate independently or simultaneously, with partial heat recovery and full heat recovery operating modes within these scenarios. A heat recovery AAC can minimize the impact on outdoor unit heat exchange when both cooling and hot water are required. In partial heat recovery mode, two condensing units operate, minimizing the demand for outdoor unit heat exchange. This optimizes fan control and reduces operating costs.
[0065] In one embodiment, the outdoor ambient temperature refers to the ambient temperature detected by the outdoor unit, and then the target gear of the compressor of the outdoor unit is obtained, wherein the target gear refers to the initial operating gear determined by the heat recovery air conditioner when it is started according to the energy demand of the indoor unit and the energy demand of the water tank.
[0066] Step S20: controlling the fan of the outdoor unit to perform initial operation according to the outdoor ambient temperature and the target gear.
[0067] It should be noted that the initialization operation means that before the real-time adjustment of the fan gear and frequency is performed, the fan is first controlled to enter the initial startup state according to the startup process of the heat recovery air conditioner based on the outdoor ambient temperature and the target gear.
[0068] In order to accurately perform the initialization operation, firstly, the temperature range of the outdoor ambient temperature is determined according to the outdoor ambient temperature, that is, the temperature range corresponding to the value range of the outdoor ambient temperature is determined.
[0069] After determining the target temperature range, first determine the fan frequency of the corresponding gear according to the target gear, then divide the fan frequency corresponding to the target gear by the preset maximum frequency to obtain the frequency ratio, and finally query the initial windshield comparison table according to the target temperature range and frequency ratio to determine the initialization frequency. Finally, control the outdoor unit fan to initialize and run according to the initialization frequency.
[0070] In one embodiment, the fan gear is defined as X, where the conversion relationship between fan speed (unit: r / min) and fan frequency is: fan speed = a*X, where a is preferably 50 and has a protection range of 5-100 rpm. Whenever the fan is turned on from 0, if the speed converted from the target gear X is lower than b, it must run at speed b for 10 seconds before switching to the target frequency b, which is preferably 400 and has a protection range of 150-600 rpm.
[0071] It should be noted that the fan starts and enters the initialization fan gear according to the ambient temperature and maintains it for 2 minutes. Specifically, the initial wind gear comparison table is shown in Table 1.
[0072] Table 1
[0073] Where x1 < x2 < x3 < x4 < x5 < x6 < x7 is selected based on the maximum and minimum speeds of different outdoor units. Optimal values cannot be given. Toa1 < Toa2 < Toa3 < Toa4 < Toa5 < Toa6: Toa1 is preferably 5°C, with a protection range of 0-10°C; Toa2 is preferably 15°C, with a protection range of 5-20°C; Toa3 is preferably 20°C, with a protection range of 10-30°C; Toa4 is preferably 30°C, with a protection range of 20-38°C; Toa5 is preferably 40°C, with a protection range of 30-45°C; Toa6 is preferably 45°C, with a protection range of 40-50°C. T4CoolMaxFre4: The ratio of the current target frequency to the maximum operating frequency at the current T4 temperature. a1<a2<a3<a4<; a1 preferably takes a value of 20%, with a protection range of 10-30%; a2 preferably takes a value of 40%, with a protection range of 30-55%; a3 preferably takes a value of 60%, with a protection range of 45-70%; a4 preferably takes a value of 80%, with a protection range of 60-90%.
[0074] In this way, the process of initializing the control of the fan based on the initial windshield comparison table is realized, and the fan frequency that is optimal for the ambient temperature can be selected for operation.
[0075] In order to exit in time after the initialization operation to proceed to the next process, a judgment step is performed after step S10, that is, when the initialization operation time of the outdoor unit fan reaches the preset time threshold, or the high-pressure temperature and the initialization operation time meet the initialization exit conditions, the initialization operation is automatically ended and exited.
[0076] The condition for exiting initialization is: the initialization time of the oil return phase in heating mode reaches 20 seconds. The 20 seconds is a preset time threshold, which can also be any other set time threshold and is not limited by this application. Another condition is to meet the initialization exit condition: the initialization run time in cooling mode reaches 2 minutes or [Tc ≥ 56°C and initialization time ≥ 20 seconds] to exit initialization control. Initialization is exited if either or both conditions are met.
[0077] In this way, it is possible to judge and exit the initialization control through multiple conditions, so that the heat recovery air conditioner can exit the initialization control in time and enter the step of adjusting the fan frequency in real time.
[0078] Step S30: After the fan initialization operation of the outdoor unit is completed, the pressure information of the outdoor unit and the water tank temperature of the indoor water tank are obtained, and the fan gear of the fan of the outdoor unit is adjusted according to the pressure information and the water tank temperature.
[0079] In one embodiment, after the initialization operation of the fan is completed, the pressure information of the outdoor unit and the water tank temperature corresponding to the indoor water tank are obtained, so that the operating status of the heat recovery air conditioner can be constantly grasped according to the pressure information and the water tank temperature and the fan frequency can be adjusted in real time, thereby saving costs while ensuring the operating effect of the heat recovery air conditioner.
[0080] The present application realizes that the fan is first initialized to operate according to the outdoor ambient temperature and the target gear of the compressor, and then the fan gear of the outdoor unit is adjusted in real time according to the pressure information of the outdoor unit and the temperature of the indoor water tank during the operation of the heat recovery air conditioner. In the partial heat recovery mode, there are two cold condensing devices, so the demand for heat exchange of the outdoor unit is relatively small. At this time, the fan gear is adjusted in time based on the information of the water tank and the outdoor to optimize the fan control, which can reduce the operating cost.
[0081] Refer to FIG4 , which is a flow chart of a second embodiment of a heat recovery air conditioner control method of the present application.
[0082] Based on the first embodiment, in one embodiment, the heat recovery air conditioner control method includes, in step S30, the following steps:
[0083] Step S301: determining the high-pressure saturation temperature according to the pressure information.
[0084] It should be noted that the high-pressure saturation temperature refers to the pressure signal received by the pressure sensor determined based on the pressure information, which is converted into the saturation temperature under this pressure, called the high-pressure temperature Tc.
[0085] Step S302: determining a first temperature threshold and a second temperature threshold according to the water tank temperature.
[0086] The first temperature threshold and the second temperature threshold refer to the temperature thresholds calculated according to the water tank temperature. The first temperature threshold is K1=Tw+c, and K1 min ≤K1≤K1 max K2=Tw+d, and K2 min ≤K2≤K2 max K1 min The preferred value is 35℃, and the protection range is 30-45℃; K1 max The preferred value is 50℃, and the protection range is 45-60℃; K2 min The preferred value is 38℃, and the protection range is 30-45℃; K2 max The preferred value is 53°C, and the protection range is 45-60°C.
[0087] Step S303: adjusting the fan gear of the outdoor unit's fan according to the high-pressure saturation temperature, the first temperature threshold, and the second temperature threshold.
[0088] In one embodiment, after the high-pressure saturation temperature is determined, the gear position of the outdoor unit's fan is determined in combination with the first temperature threshold and the second temperature threshold.
[0089] In order to accurately adjust the fan gear, a temperature comparison interval is first constructed based on the first temperature threshold and the second temperature threshold. Specifically, the temperature comparison interval is three intervals composed of K1 and K2, which are less than K1, greater than K2, and greater than or equal to K1 and less than or equal to K2.
[0090] It should be noted that the high-pressure saturation temperature is compared with the three value ranges of the thermometer comparison interval to determine the variable windshield. Specifically, 1) when the actual high-pressure temperature Tc is less than K1°C, ΔX = Tc-K1; 2) when the actual high-pressure temperature Tc is greater than K2°C, ΔX = (Tc-K2)*2; 3) when K1°C ≤ actual high-pressure Tc ≤ K2°C, ΔX = 0. Tw is the water temperature in the water tank, which can be detected by the temperature sensor. c is preferably 18, with a protection range of 5-25. d is preferably 18, with a protection range of 5-25.
[0091] If Tc ≥ Tc1 is detected at any time, the outdoor fan is immediately adjusted to the highest operating gear without cycle restrictions; normal control is then restored when Tc ≤ Tc1. If Tc ≤ Tc3 is detected at any time, the outdoor fan is immediately adjusted to 0 without cycle restrictions; in this case, the fan must meet Tc ≥ Tc4 before it can be restarted after stopping.
[0092] In this way, the outdoor fan can be adjusted accurately based on the water tank temperature, reducing consumption and costs.
[0093] The fan control of this embodiment is related to the high-pressure pressure and the water temperature of the water tank, and can achieve intelligent automatic adjustment, thereby automatically reducing costs and adjusting power consumption according to actual needs.
[0094] Refer to FIG5 , which is a flow chart of a third embodiment of a heat recovery air conditioner control method of the present application.
[0095] Based on the first embodiment, in one embodiment, the heat recovery air conditioner control method further includes, after step S30:
[0096] Step S31: When the load of the indoor unit changes, the capacity of the outdoor unit and the number of indoor units with energy demand are obtained.
[0097] It should be noted that in most scenarios, conventional control can quickly achieve balance through adjustment. However, when indoor unit load fluctuates significantly, fan adjustment lags behind pressure changes. Adding a feedforward mechanism to recalculate the windage at the beginning of the load change can avoid sudden changes in system pressure during fan control.
[0098] When the indoor unit load changes, the number of indoor units with energy demand changes, and the number of indoor units that start running and have energy demand increases or decreases.
[0099] In one embodiment, the capacity of the outdoor unit refers to the power consumption and total energy demand of the outdoor unit.
[0100] Step S32: Determine the total capacity of indoor function energy requirements according to the number of indoor units with energy requirements.
[0101] It should be noted that, after the number of indoor units with energy demand is determined, the total capacity of the total energy demand of each indoor function is determined based on the number of indoor units with energy demand.
[0102] Step S33: adjusting the fan gear of the outdoor unit fan according to the total capacity required by the indoor functions and the capacity of the outdoor unit.
[0103] After determining the total capacity required by the indoor unit, adjust the outdoor unit's fan based on the outdoor unit's capacity.
[0104] In order to accurately adjust the fan gear to adapt to changes in energy demand and load, first determine the internal and external capacity ratio based on the total capacity of the indoor function and the capacity of the outdoor unit, and define Ccb = total capacity of the indoor unit with energy demand / capacity of the outdoor unit.
[0105] In one embodiment, when Ccb fluctuates from low to high by ≥ e: the initial wind speed is recalculated according to the new state. Ccb fluctuates from low to high = (Ccb of the previous cycle - current Ccb) / Ccb of the previous cycle, where e is the ratio fluctuation parameter; i. If the initial wind speed of the fan calculated under the current conditions is ≥ the current fan operating wind speed, the fan is operated according to the initial frequency, and the fan frequency is adjusted according to the above pressure after 40s. If the initial wind speed of the fan calculated under the current conditions is < the current fan operating frequency, the fan frequency is adjusted according to the above pressure. When Ccb fluctuates from low to high < e or Ccb fluctuates from high to low, the fan gear is adjusted according to the above pressure. d preferably takes a value of 20%, and the protection range is 15-50%.
[0106] This application stabilizes the windshield through conventional adjustments when the indoor unit load changes slightly. When the indoor unit load changes significantly, the application recalculates the windshield at the beginning of the load change by increasing or decreasing the feedforward adjustment method, thus avoiding sudden changes in system pressure during the fan control process.
[0107] In addition, the present application also proposes a storage medium on which a heat recovery air conditioner control program is stored. When the heat recovery air conditioner control program is executed by a processor, the steps of the heat recovery air conditioner control method described above are implemented.
[0108] Since the storage medium adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described one by one here.
[0109] 6 , which is a structural block diagram of a first embodiment of a heat recovery air conditioner control device according to the present application.
[0110] As shown in FIG6 , the heat recovery air conditioner control device proposed in this application includes:
[0111] The data acquisition module 10 is used to acquire the outdoor ambient temperature and the target gear position of the compressor in the outdoor unit when the heat recovery air conditioner is in the startup state.
[0112] In one embodiment, the execution subject of this application may be the heat recovery air conditioner described above, which has functions such as data processing, data communication, and program execution. Of course, other devices with similar functions may also be used, and these implementation conditions do not limit this. For ease of explanation, this embodiment uses a heat recovery air conditioner as an example.
[0113] It should be noted that FIG3 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the heat recovery air conditioner of the present application. In one embodiment, when it is detected that the heat recovery air conditioner is being started and is in partial heat recovery mode, that is, the outdoor unit and water tank act as condensing equipment and the indoor unit of the air conditioner acts as an evaporating equipment, some heat will be dissipated into the environment.
[0114] A heat recovery air conditioner (HAC) can simultaneously provide long-term hot water production and cooling or heating.

A heat recovery AAC can minimize the impact on outdoor unit heat exchange when both cooling and hot water are required. In partial heat recovery mode, two condensing units operate, minimizing the demand for outdoor unit heat exchange. This optimizes fan control and reduces operating costs.
[0115] In one embodiment, the outdoor ambient temperature refers to the ambient temperature detected by the outdoor unit, and then the target gear of the compressor of the outdoor unit is obtained, wherein the target gear refers to the initial operating gear determined by the heat recovery air conditioner when it is started according to the energy demand of the indoor unit and the energy demand of the water tank.
[0116] The initialization module 20 is used to control the fan of the outdoor unit to perform initialization operation according to the outdoor ambient temperature and the target gear.
[0117] It should be noted that the initialization operation means that before the real-time adjustment of the fan gear and frequency is performed, the fan is first controlled to enter the initial startup state according to the startup process of the heat recovery air conditioner based on the outdoor ambient temperature and the target gear.
[0118] In order to accurately perform the initialization operation, firstly, the temperature range of the outdoor ambient temperature is determined according to the outdoor ambient temperature, that is, the temperature range corresponding to the value range of the outdoor ambient temperature is determined.
[0119] After determining the target temperature range, first determine the fan frequency of the corresponding gear according to the target gear, then divide the fan frequency corresponding to the target gear by the preset maximum frequency to obtain the frequency ratio, and finally query the initial windshield comparison table according to the target temperature range and frequency ratio to determine the initialization frequency. Finally, control the outdoor unit fan to initialize and run according to the initialization frequency.
[0120] In one embodiment, the fan gear is defined as X, where the conversion relationship between fan speed (unit: r / min) and fan frequency is: fan speed = a*X, where a is preferably 50 and has a protection range of 5-100 rpm. Whenever the fan is turned on from 0, if the speed converted from the target gear X is lower than b, it must run at speed b for 10 seconds before switching to the target frequency b, which is preferably 400 and has a protection range of 150-600 rpm.
[0121] It should be noted that the fan starts and enters the initialization fan gear according to the ambient temperature and maintains it for 2 minutes. Specifically, the initial wind gear comparison table is shown in Table 1.
[0122] Where x1 < x2 < x3 < x4 < x5 < x6 < x7 is selected based on the maximum and minimum speeds of different outdoor units. Optimal values cannot be given. Toa1 < Toa2 < Toa3 < Toa4 < Toa5 < Toa6: Toa1 is preferably 5°C, with a protection range of 0-10°C; Toa2 is preferably 15°C, with a protection range of 5-20°C; Toa3 is preferably 20°C, with a protection range of 10-30°C; Toa4 is preferably 30°C, with a protection range of 20-38°C; Toa5 is preferably 40°C, with a protection range of 30-45°C; Toa6 is preferably 45°C, with a protection range of 40-50°C. T4CoolMaxFre4: The ratio of the current target frequency to the maximum operating frequency at the current T4 temperature. a1<a2<a3<a4<; a1 preferably takes a value of 20%, with a protection range of 10-30%; a2 preferably takes a value of 40%, with a protection range of 30-55%; a3 preferably takes a value of 60%, with a protection range of 45-70%; a4 preferably takes a value of 80%, with a protection range of 60-90%.
[0123] In this way, the process of initializing the control of the fan based on the initial windshield comparison table is realized, and the fan frequency that is optimal for the ambient temperature can be selected for operation.
[0124] In order to exit in time after the initialization operation to proceed to the next process, a judgment step is performed after step S10, that is, when the initialization operation time of the outdoor unit fan reaches the preset time threshold, or the high-pressure temperature and the initialization operation time meet the initialization exit conditions, the initialization operation is automatically ended and exited.
[0125] The condition for exiting initialization is: the initialization time during the oil return phase of heating mode reaches 20 seconds. The 20 seconds is a preset time threshold, but it can also be any other set time threshold, which is not limited by this application. Another condition for exiting initialization is that the initialization run time in cooling mode reaches 2 minutes or [Tc ≥ 56°C and initialization time ≥ 20 seconds] to exit initialization control. Initialization is exited if either or both conditions are met.
[0126] In this way, it is possible to judge and exit the initialization control through multiple conditions, so that the heat recovery air conditioner can exit the initialization control in time and enter the step of adjusting the fan frequency in real time.
[0127] The gear adjustment module 30 is used to obtain the pressure information and water tank temperature of the outdoor unit after the initialization operation of the outdoor unit fan is completed, and adjust the fan gear of the outdoor unit fan according to the pressure information and the water tank temperature.
[0128] In one embodiment, after the initialization operation of the fan is completed, the pressure information of the outdoor unit and the water tank temperature corresponding to the indoor water tank are obtained, so that the operating status of the heat recovery air conditioner can be constantly grasped according to the pressure information and the water tank temperature and the fan frequency can be adjusted in real time, thereby saving costs while ensuring the operating effect of the heat recovery air conditioner.
[0129] The present application realizes that the fan is first initialized to operate according to the outdoor ambient temperature and the target gear of the compressor, and then the fan gear of the outdoor unit is adjusted in real time according to the pressure information of the outdoor unit and the temperature of the indoor water tank during the operation of the heat recovery air conditioner. In the partial heat recovery mode, there are two cold condensing devices, so the demand for heat exchange of the outdoor unit is relatively small. At this time, the fan gear is adjusted in time based on the information of the water tank and the outdoor to optimize the fan control, which can reduce the operating cost.
