The invention discloses a method and device for adjusting the running frequency of an air conditioning compressor as well as an air conditioner. The method comprises the following steps: during the process of frequencyincreasing, determining afrequencyincreasing speed according to the frequencydifferencevalue of the preset target running frequency and the current running frequency, and increasingthe current running frequency at the frequencyincreasing speed; during the process of frequency reduction, judging whether the cause offrequency reduction is protective frequencyreduction or non-protective frequencyreduction, if the cause of the frequency reduction is protective frequencyreduction, running according to the preset frequency reduction speed, if the cause of the frequency reduction is non-protective frequencyreduction, determining a frequency reduction speed according to the temperature difference valueof the set temperature of the compressor and the indoor environment temperature, and reducing the current running frequency at the frequencyreduction speed. By adopting the method and the device provided by theinvention, that the variable-frequency air conditioner is controlled at different speeds according to frequency ranges during the frequency increasingand reduction processes is realized, that the frequency increasing and frequency reduction are performed more stably is ensured, and fluctuation of noises is reduced, therefore, the effect of increasingthe comfortof the air conditioner is achieved.
