Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, a flow chart of a first embodiment of a method for detecting electric quantity of an air conditioner based on a single module according to the present invention is shown. As shown, this is achieved by the following steps.
Completely different from the prior art, firstly, the data processing of the electric quantity detection of the whole air conditioner is realized by a data processing device, and the data processing device is preferably an independent MCU so as to improve the precision and the speed of the whole electric quantity calculation process; the data processing device can also be realized by a control chip of the indoor unit. In the process of detecting the electric quantity, the data processing device receives a first input command comprising a group of switch signals. The first input command may be derived from a remote control device of the air conditioner, including but not limited to a conventional infrared remote controller, and a smart terminal remote control device opened through a software interface. The first input command may also originate from communication with the main board of the indoor unit. The indoor machine mainboard receives the remote control signal to generate and transmits a first input instruction to the data processing device. The data processing device responds to the first input instruction to receive the on-off state of the air conditioner. The data processing apparatus may also receive a standby instruction comprising a standby signal. The data processing device responds to the standby instruction to receive the standby state of the air conditioner, and monitors the power consumption condition of the air conditioner in the standby state through the data processing device, wherein the power consumption of the air conditioner in the standby state is usually the basic energy consumption of a standby state display device, a switching power supply of the air conditioner and a chip of a control panel.
Before the data processing device starts to operate, a second input instruction comprising at least one timing signal is also received. The timing signal in the second input command corresponds to a fixed statistical timing period of the consumed electric quantity, the timing period may be set by a user or may be default setting in factory, and the data processing device responds to the second input command to receive the timing period. The duration of the timing period is preferably several hours, which is sufficient to keep the operating state of the air conditioner relatively stable. In one-time start-stop control of the air conditioner, a plurality of timing periods can be determined through a plurality of timing signals according to the second input instruction.
The data processing device is used for correlating the first input instruction and the second input instruction and further determining the indoor unit power and/or the outdoor unit power of the air conditioner in the timing period corresponding to the timing signal. Mainly, the data processing device determines the variation trend of the indoor unit power and the outdoor unit power in the current switch state according to the set timing period, and calculates the corresponding electric quantity at the set time node. Specifically, the power of the indoor unit comprises at least one single module power of a main circuit board of the indoor unit, the power of an indoor display module, the power of an indoor fan and the power of electric heating, and the power of the outdoor unit comprises at least one single module power of the main circuit board of the outdoor unit, the running power of a compressor, the power of an outdoor fan, the power of an electronic expansion valve and the power of a four-way valve. In the data processing device, each single module power is independently calculated and stored and can be independently called. In the process of determining the indoor unit power and/or the outdoor unit power, the data processing device simultaneously judges whether the power of each single module is in a reasonable interval, and if the power of each single module exceeds the reasonable interval, an alarm signal is generated.
The data processing apparatus further receives a third input command comprising a module selection signal. The data processing device is responsive to the third input command to receive the module selection information. The module selection signal defaults to set the corresponding selected module as the air conditioner complete machine, namely, the sum of the whole electric quantity consumed by each single module of the air conditioner in the timing period set by the second input instruction under the starting and stopping state of the air conditioner determined by the first input instruction. In this embodiment, a more preferable mode is that the module selection signal receives active intervention of a user, and the user may actively output a third input instruction including the module selection signal for intervention through the remote control terminal or through the main board of the indoor unit. For example, a user actively selects and obtains the power consumption of one single module through the module selection signal, or the power consumption of the independent indoor unit and the power consumption of the independent outdoor unit. And the data processing device responds to the third input instruction, determines the electricity consumption of the indoor unit and/or the electricity consumption of the outdoor unit associated with the first input instruction, the second input instruction and the third input instruction, and further calls, displays and/or transmits the electricity consumption of the indoor unit and the electricity consumption of the outdoor unit to a specified user terminal, a server, a cloud platform or a display device of the air conditioner. A preferred mode is that the third input command is preferably a group of remote controller coded signals, and the remote controller coded signals respectively correspond to the selected modules, and are respectively all the single modules included in each single module, all the single modules included in the indoor unit, all the single modules included in the outdoor unit, and all the single modules included in the whole unit. The remote controller coding signal is generated by keys on the remote control terminal and actions on the keys. Taking the display action as an example, after the data processing device receives the corresponding coding signal, the data processing device continuously or switchingly displays the power consumption of each single module, the power consumption of the indoor unit, the power consumption of the outdoor unit and the power consumption of the whole air conditioner corresponding to the set time length on the selected display device, so that a user can clearly know the power consumption condition of each functional component of the air conditioner in the timing period. Because the data processing device is independently arranged, the data calculation of each single module is not interfered with each other, and the data calculation process is accurate and the response is quick. Further, in the calculation process, the operating season of the air conditioner and corresponding external environment data can be obtained by matching the start-stop time corresponding to the switching signal included by the first input instruction with the clock of the MCU, and the external environment data, the operating time of the air conditioner and the power consumption of each single module are transmitted to the cloud platform so as to obtain the relationship among the external environment data, the operating time of the air conditioner and the power consumption of each single module through correlation, and the relationship is used as a basis for further optimizing and controlling the operation of the air conditioner or generating a chart to be used as a basis for guiding a user to reasonably use. The analysis mode does not depend on the parameters such as the temperature of the heat exchanger, the indoor temperature, the ambient temperature and the like with high change frequency, and is more intuitive and accurate for users.
According to the single-module air conditioner electric quantity detection method provided by the embodiment, a user actively controls the starting and stopping state of the air conditioner and selects the timing period of electric quantity consumption, the starting and stopping state of the air conditioner and the timing period are correlated through the data processing device to determine the power of each single module in the air conditioner, the power is independently calculated and stored, the consumed electric quantity of any one single module is calculated, called, displayed and transmitted according to the module selection process which can be actively intervened by the user, and the whole correlation, determination, calculation and calling process does not depend on the environmental parameters of an air conditioner room or a complex data model.
In the process of determining the consumed electric quantity of each single module, indoor unit, outdoor unit or complete machine according to the association of the first input instruction, the second input instruction and the third input instruction, taking the display action as an example, the generated display value is a continuously and continuously accumulated and changed superposition value, and due to the data transmission delay and the limitation of the data processing capacity of the processor, the superposition calculation process has data redundancy to a certain extent. In order to reduce the redundancy of data, the data processing apparatus first determines the power variation trend of the selected module corresponding to the module selection signal in the timing period corresponding to the timing signal after responding to the third input command. And if the variation trend meets the set condition, immediately converting the indoor unit power and/or the outdoor unit power associated with the first input instruction, the second input instruction and the third input instruction into consumed electric quantity, displaying and/or transmitting the consumed electric quantity, and recording the corresponding time node. And if the variation trend does not meet the set condition, converting the indoor unit power and/or the outdoor unit power which are related to the first input instruction, the second input instruction and the third input instruction into consumed electric quantity and then displaying and/or transmitting the consumed electric quantity by taking the timing period as a time node when the timing period is ended. Therefore, the method avoids the too frequent operation, reduces the data processing amount, removes redundant data, reduces the error between single-module calculation and multi-module accumulated value, and improves the detection precision.
The setting condition for judging the change trend is preferably that whether the increment of the selected module power is larger than a set value in the timing period, wherein the increment is defined as the absolute value of the change value of the selected module at two continuous time points. Such as the power increment of the selected module relative to the previous second. And if the power increment is larger than the set value, converting the indoor unit power and/or the outdoor unit power which are related to the first input instruction, the second input instruction and the third input instruction into consumed electric quantity, displaying and/or transmitting the consumed electric quantity, and recording corresponding time nodes. If the power consumption is not larger than the set value, when the timing period is ended, converting the indoor unit power and/or the outdoor unit power related to the first input instruction, the second input instruction and the third input instruction into consumed electric quantity, displaying and/or transmitting the consumed electric quantity, and recording the time when the timing period is ended as a time node. Preferably, the value e (5W, 10W) is set.
Meanwhile, the data processing device transmits the converted consumed electric quantity to the server for storage. The user can inquire any one of the consumed electric power amounts. Specifically, the data processing device receives a fourth input instruction including at least one query signal, and the server receives and responds to the fourth input instruction to call the consumed electric quantity in any time period corresponding to the query signal. For example, the air conditioner is in [ T ]1,T2]Running in time periods, the inquiry signal corresponding to inquiry [ T3,T4]And the server retrieves the consumed electric quantity of a plurality of time nodes in the query time period, and further transmits or displays the consumed electric quantity.
The complex environmental parameters in the use environment of the air conditioner and the running states of all functional components of the air conditioner are complex coupling relations, so that the relation determined by a single formula cannot be basically obtained, and the influence of the environmental parameters on the running states of the components is further compensated by using a data model. Unlike the prior art in which a complex data model is built to determine the power of each individual module. The single-module air conditioner electric quantity detection method disclosed by the invention determines the power of each single module in the timing period by utilizing the physical property and the empirical value of each single module, simplifies the coupling relation among all components, keeps the electric quantity calculation of each single module relatively independent, and does not need to adopt a large amount of experimental modeling aiming at different machine types and air conditioning environments.
Specifically, to achieve the above object, when determining the indoor unit power:
the power P of the main circuit board of the indoor unitg' is equal to the chip power rating. Indoor set main circuit board power PgThe' is mainly the sum of the power of the main chip during operation and the power of other components in standby operation. In the range of 0-5W, the data processing device preferably compares the power of the module with the power variation trend when determining the power of the module according to the first input command and the second input command, and stores or outputs the module after determining that the module falls into the range.
The indoor display module power PxEqual to the control panel power PgAnd the sum of "power P of the indicator light in operation". Wherein the power P of the board is controlledg"is the total power of all devices on the control board when operating. The power of the indicator light is P ═ PLX, wherein PLThe power for lighting a single indicator light, and X is the number of indicator lights of the electric quantity.
The indoor fan power Pf1The duty ratio is obtained by detecting the driving duty ratio of the indoor fan. When indoor fan driving duty ratio d<d1While, the indoor fan power Pf1=P1(ii) a When fan driving duty ratio dm-1<d<dmIn time, the indoor fan powerWhen fan drive duty ratiod>dnWhile, the indoor fan power Pf1=PnWherein m is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to n, m and n are integers, m and n belong to [1, 5 ]]Wherein d is1,dm-1,dm,dnBeing a constant of increasing, P1,Pm-1,PmIs an incremental set point. Preferably, n is 5, d1=10%,d2=30%,d3=60%,d4=85%,d5=95%,P1=7W,P2=22W,P3=46W,P4=90W,P5110W. For example, if the indoor fan drive duty cycle is 70%, then the indoor fan powerAccording to different models, the numerical value of the set value only needs to be adjusted according to the capacities of different motors, and the power consumption of the fan is guaranteed to be independently calculated without detecting and calculating an empirical formula again.
The electric heating power PtFor rated electric heating power Pt0。
For most of the cases, the electric heating power PtAffected by the running state of the indoor fan. In order to increase the electric heating power PtWhile correcting and compensating for the operating state of the fan, in another embodiment, the electric heating power PtEqual to the set electric heating power Pt00And correcting the electric heating power Pt' sum, correcting the electric heating power Pt' is increased as the indoor fan driving duty ratio is increased. Specifically, the electric heating power P is sett00The constant value can be selected according to different models of electric heating. Correcting electric heating power Pt' depending on the rotational speed of the indoor fan, it is preferable to correct the electric heating power Pt' dividing the driving duty ratio of the corresponding indoor fan into a plurality of data segments, each data segment having a corresponding correction weight w, correcting the electric heating power Pt' in each data segment, the electric heating power P is corrected to increase with the increase of the driving duty ratio of the indoor fantIncrement of' equal to windAnd the accumulated value of the product of the machine driving duty ratio and the weight value. For example, for a certain type of electric heating device, the electric heating power P is sett00Is 630W. Correcting electric heating power Pt' the division into a plurality of data segments each having a corresponding correction weight w is performed according to the following list according to the indoor fan driving duty ratio.

If the currently detected indoor fan duty cycle is 70%, the corrected electrical heating power is (50% -40%) 700+ (60% -50%) 700+ (70% -60%) 300 — 170W. Electric heating power PtEqual to the set electric heating power Pt00And correcting the electric heating power Pt' the sum, i.e., 630W +170W, is 800W.
When the indoor fan runs, the position of the air deflector also influences the electric heating power, and in order to correct the error formed by the angle of the air deflector, if the air deflector runs, the electric heating power Pt=(Pt0+Pt’)k1Wherein k is1The correction coefficient of the air deflector is increased along with the increase of the distance of the air deflector deviating from the original position; k is a radical of1E (0.9, 1.1). Preferably, k is the normal position of the air deflector1The standard position is a set running position, and the standard position is preferably a running position corresponding to a step signal set by the stepping motor. If the standard position is deviated, the air deflector correction coefficient is used for correcting the standard position, and a specific group of preferred air deflector correction coefficients is shown in the following table:

Further, when the outdoor unit power is determined,
the outdoor unit main circuit board has power PgEqual to the chip power rating. Outdoor machine main circuit board power PgThe power of the main chip during operation and the power of other components in standby operation are mainly the sum. Generally, in the interval of 0-5W, when the data processing device determines the power and the power change trend of the module according to the first input instruction and the second input instruction, the data processing device preferably compares the power and the power change trend with the interval, and stores or outputs the power after determining that the power value does not exceed the interval.
Operating power of the compressorWherein U is the effective value of the power voltage, and I is the effective value of the power current.
Obtaining the power P of the outdoor fanf2When the type of the outdoor fan is determined, the type of the outdoor fan needs to be determined.
If the outdoor fan is a direct current fan, the duty ratio d is driven by the outdoor fan<d1While, the outdoor fan power Pf2=P1(ii) a When fan driving duty ratio dm-1<d<dmWhile, the outdoor fan powerWhen fan driving duty ratio d>dnWhile, the outdoor fan power Pf2=PnWherein m is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to n, m and n are integers, m and n belong to [1, 5 ]]Wherein d is1,dm-1,dm,dnBeing a constant of increasing, P1,Pm-1,PmIs an incremental set point. Preferably, n is 5, d1=10%,d2=30%,d3=60%,d4=85%,d5=95%,P1=7W,P2=22W,P3=46W,P4=90W,P5110W. For example, if the outdoor fan driving duty ratio is 70%, the outdoor fan driving duty ratio is 70%Power of fanAccording to different models, the numerical value of the set value only needs to be adjusted according to the capacities of different motors, and the power consumption of the fan is guaranteed to be independently calculated without detecting and calculating an empirical formula again.
Because the AC fan adopts open-loop control no matter the AC fan is a double-speed fan or a single-speed fan. Therefore, if the outdoor fan is an alternating current fan, the corresponding rated power set value P is selected according to the rotating speed of the outdoor fanf2'. Selecting a corresponding rated power set value Pf2In this case, it is preferable to divide the rated power into two stages according to the rotation speed of the outdoor fan, and to allocate a rated power value P corresponding to each stage of wind speed01And P02. Judging the wind speed gear to which the rotating speed of the current outdoor fan belongs, and further selecting the corresponding rated power value as a rated power set value Pf2'. According to different practical application scenes, more rated power values can be set as the rated power set values.
