AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When an air conditioner is in heating mode in low temperatures, the outdoor unit is prone to frost buildup. In defrost mode, the indoor fan speed decreases, causing the indoor heat exchanger temperature to become too high, triggering the air conditioner's protection shutdown and preventing normal defrosting.

Method used

Before defrosting begins, the throttling device is kept at its current opening, the compressor frequency is reduced to the transition frequency, the indoor fan speed is reduced to the transition speed, and the indoor heat exchanger temperature is increased. During the defrosting process, the opening and frequency of the throttling device and the compressor are gradually adjusted to avoid the indoor heat exchanger temperature being too high or too low, thus ensuring the defrosting effect.

Benefits of technology

It effectively avoids large fluctuations in indoor temperature during the defrosting process, improves the operational stability and defrosting effect of the air conditioner, and reduces the risk of downtime.

[0071] The air conditioner provided in the present application adopts the control method of the air conditioner in the above embodiments, and can solve the technical problem of how to ensure the defrosting effect while reducing the indoor temperature fluctuation. Compared with the prior art, the air conditioner provided in the present application has the same beneficial effects as the control method of the air conditioner provided in the above embodiments, and other technical features in the air conditioner are the same as the features disclosed in the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0072] It should be noted that the execution subject of the embodiments of the present application can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as a tablet computer, a personal computer, a mobile phone, etc., or an electronic device, an air conditioner, etc. capable of realizing the above functions. The embodiments of the present application and the following embodiments will be described below taking the air conditioner as an example.

[0073] Based on this, the present application provides a control method of an air conditioner. Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a flowchart of an embodiment of the control method of the air conditioner of the present application.

[0074] In the embodiments of the present application, the control method of the air conditioner comprises steps S10-S20:

[0075] Step S10, control the air conditioner to run in a heating mode;

[0076] During the running of the air conditioner in the heating mode, the reversing component runs in the second state, the throttling device runs at the throttling opening degree, the compressor runs at a heating frequency, and the refrigerant discharged by the compressor flows back to the compressor in sequence through the indoor heat exchanger, the throttling device and the outdoor heat exchanger, the indoor heat exchanger is in a condensing state, and the outdoor heat exchanger is in an evaporating state.

[0077] Step S20, in the case where the air conditioner meets a defrosting starting condition, control the throttling device to maintain the current opening degree, the compressor to reduce the frequency to a transition frequency, and the indoor fan to reduce the rotation speed to a transition rotation speed to run, so as to increase the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger and make the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger less than a preset temperature.

[0078] During the execution of step S20, the difference between the current coil temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger and the heating coil temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger when the air conditioner runs in the heating mode is less than a set temperature value, and the set temperature value is less than or equal to 3℃. In this way, the degree of frosting of the outdoor heat exchanger can be avoided from being aggravated, and the subsequent defrosting operation is facilitated.

[0079] The defrosting starting condition includes the conditions required to be met by the running parameters of the air conditioner itself and / or the environmental parameters of the environment where the air conditioner is located when the outdoor heat exchanger needs to be defrosted in the heating mode. For example, the outdoor environment temperature is lower than a preset environmental temperature threshold and / or the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger is lower than a preset temperature threshold, etc.

[0080] In the case where the air conditioner meets the defrosting starting condition, the reversing component can be controlled to maintain the current state to run.

[0081] The transition frequency and the transition rotating speed can be preset fixed parameters, or parameters determined according to the actual operation of the air conditioner. For example, the transition rotating speed can be obtained by reducing the heating rotating speed of the indoor fan in the heating mode according to a preset rotating speed adjustment value, and the transition frequency can be obtained by reducing the heating frequency of the compressor in the heating mode according to a preset frequency adjustment value.

[0082] The preset temperature is the maximum temperature of the indoor heat exchanger allowed by the reliability of the air conditioner.

[0083] The current opening degree of the throttling device is the heating opening degree of the throttling device during the operation of the air conditioner in the heating mode.

[0084] The compressor can continuously reduce the frequency from the heating frequency to the transition frequency at a target frequency reduction rate, or can reduce the frequency from the heating frequency to the transition frequency in stages. The indoor fan can continuously reduce the rotating speed from the heating rotating speed to the transition rotating speed at a target rotating speed reduction rate, or can reduce the rotating speed from the heating rotating speed to the transition rotating speed in stages.

[0085] In some embodiments, the indoor fan is operated at the transition rotating speed while the compressor is operated at the transition frequency. In other implementations, the compressor can be operated at the transition frequency for a period of time before the indoor fan is operated at the transition rotating speed.

[0086] The embodiments of the present application provide a control method of an air conditioner. When the air conditioner needs to be defrosted during the operation in the heating mode, the rotating speed of the indoor fan is not directly reduced to the defrost rotating speed, but the indoor fan is operated at the transition rotating speed to increase the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger on the basis of the current opening degree of the throttling device before entering the defrost operation, which can store heat for the subsequent defrosting process and avoid the indoor temperature from being greatly reduced due to the low temperature of the indoor heat exchanger during the defrosting process. Reducing the operating frequency of the compressor can effectively avoid the high temperature of the indoor heat exchanger and effectively reduce the shutdown risk of the air conditioner. Therefore, the cooperation of the above components can ensure the defrosting effect and improve the operation stability of the air conditioner.

[0087] In a possible implementation, the steps of controlling the compressor to reduce the frequency to the transition frequency and controlling the indoor fan to reduce the rotating speed to the transition rotating speed include:

[0088] The compressor is controlled to reduce the frequency to the transition frequency according to a target frequency reduction ratio and / or the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger, and the indoor fan is controlled to reduce the rotating speed to the transition rotating speed according to a target rotating speed reduction ratio and / or the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger.

[0089] The target frequency reduction ratio is greater than the target rotating speed reduction ratio.

[0090] The target frequency reduction ratio is the ratio of the amplitude of the compressor frequency reduction to the heating frequency of the compressor in the heating mode, and the target speed reduction ratio is the ratio of the amplitude of the indoor fan speed reduction to the heating rotating speed of the indoor fan in the heating mode. The transition frequency is determined according to the heating frequency and the target frequency reduction ratio; and the transition rotating speed is determined according to the heating rotating speed and the target speed reduction ratio.

[0091] The target frequency reduction ratio and the target speed reduction ratio satisfy a preset quantity relationship. In some embodiments, the target speed reduction ratio is obtained by reducing the target frequency reduction ratio according to a preset adjustment parameter. For example, the preset adjustment parameter is 0.8, and the target speed reduction ratio = 0.8*target frequency reduction ratio.

[0092] The purpose of controlling the compressor to operate at a reduced frequency and controlling the indoor fan to operate at a reduced speed according to the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is to ensure that the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is not higher than a preset temperature. In the process of the compressor operating at a reduced frequency, when the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is less than the preset temperature, the compressor maintains the reduced frequency to operate at the transition frequency; when the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, the compressor stops reducing the frequency and maintains the current frequency. In the process of the indoor fan operating at a reduced speed, when the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is less than the preset temperature, the indoor fan maintains the reduced speed to operate at the transition rotating speed; when the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, the indoor fan stops reducing the speed and maintains the current rotating speed. Alternatively, the target frequency reduction ratio can be determined according to the initial temperature of the indoor heat exchanger when the defrosting start condition is met, the target speed reduction ratio is obtained by reducing the target frequency reduction ratio according to a preset adjustment parameter; or the target speed reduction ratio can be determined according to the initial temperature of the indoor heat exchanger when the defrosting start condition is met, and the target frequency reduction ratio is determined according to the preset adjustment parameter and the target speed reduction ratio.

[0093] In some embodiments, by the above method, the heat storage amount can be ensured to improve the defrosting efficiency, and the system operation reliability can be ensured.

[0094] Based on any of the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as the above embodiments can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be described in detail. On this basis, please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, after the step of controlling the throttling device to maintain the current opening degree, the compressor to operate at the transition frequency, and the indoor fan to operate at the transition rotating speed, the method further comprises:

[0095] Step S30, control the throttling device to increase to the first defrosting opening degree, the compressor to operate at the defrosting frequency, and the indoor fan to operate at the defrosting rotating speed.

[0096] The first defrosting opening degree herein can include the second opening degree or the third opening degree described above, and the throttling device can be increased from the first opening degree to the second opening degree or from the first opening degree to the third opening degree. When the throttling device operates at the second opening degree, the air conditioner is in the first defrosting mode, and when the throttling device operates at the third opening degree, the air conditioner is in the second defrosting mode.

[0097] In an implementation manner, the indoor fan is controlled to be gradually reduced from the transition speed to the defrosting speed. In another implementation manner, the indoor fan is controlled to continuously reduce the speed from the transition speed to the defrosting speed.

[0098] During the process that the indoor fan is reduced to operate at the defrosting speed, the throttling device is increased in opening degree or maintained to operate at the heating opening degree, and the compressor can be reduced in frequency or maintained to operate at the heating frequency.

[0099] In some embodiments, the indoor fan is first reduced to operate at the defrosting speed, and the steps of controlling the throttling device to be increased to the first defrosting opening degree and the compressor to be reduced to the defrosting frequency are performed during the process that the indoor fan is maintained to operate at the defrosting speed. In other embodiments, the indoor fan can also be reduced to the defrosting speed during the process that the throttling device is increased to the first defrosting opening degree and the compressor is reduced to the defrosting frequency.

[0100] During the process that the indoor fan operates at the defrosting speed, the throttling device is controlled to be gradually increased in opening degree to the first defrosting opening degree, that is, the throttling device is increased to at least one intermediate opening degree and maintained to operate for a corresponding preset time length, and then increased to the first defrosting opening degree to operate. The throttling device is gradually increased in opening degree to the first defrosting opening degree, which can effectively avoid that the opening degree is changed too fast to cause the system to lack oil, and can also control the migration speed of the refrigerant to ensure the balance between the indoor heating and the defrosting heat extraction of the outdoor heat exchanger, reduce the refrigerant sound caused by the migration of the refrigerant being too fast, thereby effectively reducing the reliability risk in the defrosting process, improving the defrosting effect, and reducing the refrigerant sound. During the process that the throttling device is gradually increased in opening degree to the first defrosting opening degree, the compressor is continuously reduced in frequency to the defrosting frequency. In other embodiments, the throttling device can be continuously increased in opening degree to the first defrosting opening degree, and the compressor can be gradually reduced in frequency to the defrosting frequency.

[0101] In some embodiments, the throttling device, the indoor fan, and the compressor are cooperatively operated to balance the ratio of the defrosting heat of the outdoor heat exchanger to the indoor heating amount, so as to reduce the situation that the defrosting heat is too much and the indoor heating amount is insufficient or the defrosting heat is insufficient and the indoor heating amount is too much, thereby ensuring the defrosting effect while reducing the indoor temperature fluctuation.

[0102] In an implementation, the step of controlling the throttling device to increase to the first defrosting opening degree, controlling the compressor to reduce to the defrosting frequency, and controlling the indoor fan to reduce to the defrosting rotating speed includes: controlling the throttling device to increase to the first defrosting opening degree, controlling the compressor to reduce to the defrosting frequency, and controlling the indoor fan to reduce to the defrosting rotating speed according to a target ratio, wherein the defrosting heat corresponding to the target ratio is greater than or equal to the indoor heat supply of the air conditioner, and / or the difference between the defrosting heat and the indoor heat supply corresponding to the target ratio is less than a preset heat.

[0103] The defrosting heat is the heat released by the outdoor heat exchanger for defrosting. The indoor heat supply is the heat released by the indoor heat exchanger and sent into the indoor space under the driving of the indoor fan.

[0104] The target ratio is a ratio that ensures that the outdoor heat exchanger completes defrosting within a preset time length and the indoor temperature fluctuation value is less than a preset temperature value, for example, the preset temperature value is 3°C. The preset time length is in the range of [130s, 180s].

[0105] The target ratio is in the range of [1, 2], for example, the target ratio is 1.2, etc. Based on this, the defrosting requirement and the indoor comfort requirement can be ensured at the same time.

[0106] In some embodiments, the control mode of controlling the above components according to the target ratio includes but is not limited to at least one of the following: control of the opening degree change process (continuous increase of the opening degree or segmented increase of the opening degree, setting of the intermediate opening degree when the opening degree is increased in segments, target rate of opening degree change, etc.), setting of the first defrosting opening degree, timing of the increase of the opening degree; control of the frequency change process (continuous reduction of the frequency or segmented reduction of the frequency, setting of the intermediate frequency when the frequency is reduced in segments, target rate of frequency change, etc.), setting of the defrosting frequency, timing of the reduction of the frequency; control of the rotating speed change process (continuous reduction of the rotating speed or segmented reduction of the rotating speed, setting of the intermediate rotating speed when the rotating speed is reduced in segments, target rate of rotating speed change, etc.), setting of the defrosting rotating speed, timing of the reduction of the rotating speed, etc.

[0107] In some embodiments, by the above mode, the accuracy of the distribution of the indoor heat supply and the defrosting heat can be further improved, and the defrosting effect and the indoor comfort can be effectively considered.

[0108] In an implementation, in combination with FIGS. 5 and 6, the step of controlling the throttling device to increase to the first defrosting opening degree, controlling the compressor to reduce to the defrosting frequency, and controlling the indoor fan to reduce to the defrosting rotating speed includes steps S31 to S33:

[0109] Step S31: in the case where the air conditioner meets a first preset condition, controlling the indoor fan to reduce to the defrosting rotating speed.

[0110] In some embodiments, the first preset condition comprises that the accumulated time length reaches a first preset time length, wherein the accumulated time length is counted from the starting time when the air conditioner meets the defrost starting condition, the first preset time length is the sum of a preset transition time length and an instruction time length, the transition time length is a preset total time length for the air conditioner to perform the steps of controlling the throttling device to maintain the current opening degree, the compressor to reduce the frequency to the transition frequency, and the indoor fan to reduce to the transition rotating speed after meeting the defrost starting condition, and the instruction time length is the time length required for the outdoor unit of the air conditioner to send the instruction of “indoor fan reducing to defrost rotating speed” to the indoor unit to receive the instruction.

[0111] In step S32, when the air conditioner meets the second preset condition, the compressor is controlled to reduce the frequency to the defrost frequency and the throttling device is controlled to increase to the second defrost opening degree; wherein the first defrost opening degree is greater than the second defrost opening degree.

[0112] In some embodiments, the second preset condition comprises that the accumulated time length reaches a second preset time length, wherein the accumulated time length is counted from the starting time when the air conditioner meets the defrost starting condition, the second preset time length is the sum of the first preset time length and a third preset time length, and the third preset time length is the time length for the indoor fan to run at the defrost rotating speed before the air conditioner enters the defrost mode.

[0113] During the process of the indoor fan maintaining the defrost rotating speed, the compressor is controlled to reduce the frequency and the throttling device is controlled to increase the opening degree.

[0114] In some embodiments, the compressor is controlled to increase the opening degree to the second defrost opening degree while the compressor is controlled to reduce the frequency to the defrost frequency, wherein the time length required for the compressor to reduce the frequency from the current frequency to the defrost frequency is the same as the time length required for the throttling device to increase the opening degree from the heating opening degree to the second defrost opening degree.

[0115] In step S33, when the first condition is met, the throttling device is controlled to increase to the first defrost opening degree.

[0116] In some embodiments, the first condition can comprise that the counted time length reaches a fourth preset time length, and the counted time length is counted from the starting time when the air conditioner meets the second preset condition. In other embodiments, when the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is greater than a first preset temperature and the temperature change value of the indoor heat exchanger is less than a preset value, it can be considered that the first condition is met.

[0117] The first defrosting opening degree and the second defrosting opening degree can be a pre-set fixed opening degree, or an opening degree determined according to the actual operation of the air conditioner. For example, the defrosting frequency, the defrosting rotating speed, the first defrosting opening degree and the second defrosting opening degree herein can be determined according to the temperature difference between the outdoor environment temperature and the indoor environment temperature, and the temperature difference between the indoor environment temperature and the set temperature.

[0118] In some embodiments, after step S33, the compressor can maintain the defrosting frequency operation, the indoor fan can maintain the defrosting rotating speed operation, and the throttling device can maintain the first defrosting opening degree operation until the defrosting end condition is reached.

[0119] In some embodiments, the indoor fan rotating speed regulation, the compressor frequency regulation and the opening degree adjustment of the throttling device are cooperated with each other in the above-mentioned manner, so as to ensure that the ratio of the defrosting heat and the indoor heating capacity can reach the target ratio, thereby ensuring the defrosting effect while reducing the indoor temperature fluctuation. In the stable state of the indoor fan rotating speed, adjusting the compressor frequency and the opening degree of the throttling device is beneficial to improve the accuracy of the distribution of the indoor heating capacity and the outdoor defrosting heat.

[0120] In other embodiments, after step S33, the actual ratio of the defrosting heat and the indoor heating capacity can be determined according to the outdoor heat exchanger temperature and the air conditioner outlet temperature, and the compressor operating frequency and / or the indoor fan operating rotating speed can be adjusted according to the deviation value of the actual ratio and the target ratio, so as to further ensure that the actual ratio can reach the target ratio, thereby ensuring the defrosting effect while reducing the indoor temperature fluctuation. The actual ratio herein can be determined according to the relationship between the real-time detected outdoor heat exchanger temperature and the indoor heat exchanger temperature.
