The specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood in specific cases to those skilled in the art.
A control method of an air conditioner including an outdoor unit 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 1 to 6.
The outdoor unit 100 includes a casing 10, a compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger, and a four-way valve, which are respectively provided in the casing 10. The compressor can compress the refrigerant, and the compressed refrigerant can enter the outdoor heat exchanger, so that heat exchange with outdoor air can be completed. The four-way valve can adjust the working modes of an indoor heat exchanger and an outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner. When the air conditioner performs refrigeration, the indoor heat exchanger is an evaporator, and the outdoor heat exchanger is a condenser. When the air conditioner performs heating work, the four-way valve can change the working modes of the indoor heat exchanger and the outdoor heat exchanger through reversing, the indoor heat exchanger is a condenser, and the outdoor heat exchanger is an evaporator.
As shown in fig. 1 to 2, the casing 10 is provided with an inlet vent and an outlet vent, and the inlet vent is covered by a first snow cover 110, and the first snow cover 110 can prevent the inlet vent from being blocked due to frost and snow accumulation, thereby ensuring that the outdoor unit 100 can normally supply air. The first snow guard cover 110 may extend in a longitudinal direction of the outdoor unit 100. As shown in fig. 1, the first snow-proof cover 110 is provided with an air inlet 130, wherein the air inlet 130 may be provided at a lower portion of the first snow-proof cover 110. A first air guide plate 20 for opening and closing the air inlet 130 is provided at the air inlet. For example, as shown in fig. 3-4, when the first air deflection plate 20 closes the air inlet 130, the first air deflection plate 20 rotates downward. When the first air deflector 20 opens the air inlet 130, the first air deflector 20 rotates upward.
As shown in fig. 1 to 2, the second snow guard cover 120 is covered at the outlet hole, the second snow guard cover 120 controls the amount of air passing through the outdoor unit 100, and the second snow guard cover 120 may extend in the width direction of the outdoor unit 100. As shown in fig. 2, the second snow-proof cover 120 is provided with an outlet 140, wherein the outlet 140 may be provided on a right side wall of the second snow-proof cover 120. The air outlet 140 is provided with a second air deflector 40 for opening or closing the same. For example, as shown in fig. 5 to 6, when the second air deflection plate 40 closes the outlet opening 140, the second air deflection plate 40 rotates upward. When the second air deflector 40 opens the outlet 140, the second air deflector 40 rotates downward.
The control method of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the invention comprises the following steps:
when the air conditioner performs heating operation, the first air deflector 20 is controlled to rotate to the fully open state and the second air deflector 40 is controlled to rotate to the fully open state, and outdoor air flow can enter the outdoor unit 100 through the air inlet 130 and can be discharged from the air outlet 140, so that normal convection between the outdoor unit 100 and the outdoor air can be realized. It is understood that the rotation of the first air guiding plate 20 to the fully open state described in the present invention refers to the fully open state of the intake vent 130, and the ventilation volume of the intake vent 130 is the maximum. The rotation of the second air guiding plate 40 to the fully open state described in the present invention means that the outlet 140 is in the fully open state, and the ventilation volume of the outlet 140 is the maximum.
When the outdoor temperature is low, the outdoor unit 100 is frosted, the temperature sensing bulb disposed on the surface of the outdoor heat exchanger can detect the surface temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger and transmit the temperature signal to the four-way valve, the four-way valve receives the signal and then switches the direction, the air conditioner switches to the defrosting mode, and the first air deflector 20 is controlled to rotate downward to the initial angle α0The second air deflector 40 is controlled to rotate upwards to a state of closing the air outlet 140 so as to reduce the air intake of the air inlet 130, at the moment, the outdoor heat exchanger is a condenser, a high-temperature refrigerant can enter the outdoor heat exchanger to melt frost and snow in the outdoor unit 100, and the air outlet 140 is in a fully closed state, so that the influence of external air flow on heat exchange between the refrigerant and a frost layer can be reduced in the defrosting process, the high pressure of the refrigerant can be improved, the heat exchange temperature difference between the refrigerant and the frost layer can be increased, the defrosting efficiency of the air conditioner can be further improved, and after the air outlet 140 is continuously closed for a first preset time a, the second air deflector 40 is controlled to rotate downwards to a preset angle β0Accordingly, convection between the air inlet 130 and the air outlet 140 can be achieved, and moisture generated by defrosting can be discharged out of the outdoor unit 100. It should be noted that, in the defrosting mode, the outdoor fan generally stops rotating, so that the defrosting efficiency of the air conditioner can be further improved.
It should be noted that the first air guiding plate 20 rotates downwards by the initial angle α when the air conditioner starts to enter the defrosting mode0A first preset time a for continuously closing the air outlet 140 during the defrosting process, and an angle β for the second air guiding plate 40 to rotate downward after the defrosting mode is finished0For example, when the outdoor temperature is extremely low, the downward rotating angle α of the first air guiding plate 20 may be increased0Therefore, the air inlet area of the air inlet 130 can be reduced, and the influence of outdoor cold air on defrosting operation of the air conditioner can be reduced. In addition, the first preset time a for continuously closing the air outlet 140 can be prolonged, so that the heat exchange time between frost and snow and the heat of the refrigerant can be prolonged, and the utilization rate of the temperature of the refrigerant can be improved.
According to the control method of the air conditioner of the embodiment of the invention, when the air conditioner starts to enter the defrosting mode, the first air deflector 20 is controlled to rotate downwards by the angle α0The second air deflector 40 is controlled to rotate upwards to a state of closing the air outlet 140, so that air convection between the air inlet 130 and the air outlet 140 can be reduced, and the flow rate of cold air entering the outdoor unit 100 can be reduced, thereby reducing the influence of the outdoor cold air on the defrosting operation of the air conditioner and improving the defrosting efficiency of the air conditioner. The control method of the air conditioner is simple to operate and high in practicability.
According to some embodiments of the invention, the control method further comprises the steps of:
in the defrosting mode, the first air deflector 20 is controlled to rotate to the initial angle α0When the refrigerant pressure Pc is less than the first set pressure PT1, the first air deflector 20 is controlled to continue to rotate downward such that the rotation angle α of the first air deflector 20 is α0+ x, thereby reducing the air intake area of the air intake 130, reducing the flow of the cold air blown into the outdoor unit 100, reducing the heat exchange between the refrigerant and the cold air, and thus increasing the utilization of the heat of the refrigerant, and enabling the cooling in the air conditionerThe medium keeps sufficient circulation pressure, promotes the defrosting efficiency of air conditioner.
If the refrigerant pressure Pc is greater than or equal to the first set pressure value PT1, which indicates that the refrigerant flow in the air conditioner can meet the normal working requirement, the first air deflector 20 is controlled to maintain the current initial angle, and the normal convection between the air inlet 130 and the air outlet 140 is maintained. It should be noted that, the angle x of the downward rotation of the first air deflector 20 and the magnitude of the first set pressure value PT1 may be selected according to actual requirements, and the present invention is not limited in this regard. For example, when the pressure difference between the refrigerant pressure Pc and the set pressure value PT is large, the downward rotation angle x of the first air guiding plate 20 can be increased appropriately, so that the flow rate of the cool air entering the outdoor unit 100 can be further reduced. Alternatively, the first set pressure value PT1 may be 1.2 MPa.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, when the refrigerant pressure Pc < the first set pressure value PT1 and continues for the second predetermined time b, the first air guiding plate 20 is controlled to rotate downward such that the rotation angle α of the first air guiding plate 20 is α0+ x, thereby reducing the air intake area of the air intake 130 and reducing the flow of the cold air blown into the outdoor unit 100, so as to improve the utilization rate of the heat of the refrigerant, improve the defrosting efficiency of the air conditioner, and simultaneously avoid the phenomenon of controlling the first air deflector 20 to rotate by mistake due to the detection fault, thereby improving the reliability. Alternatively, the second predetermined time b may be 20 seconds.
According to some embodiments of the invention, the control method further comprises the steps of:
after the operating frequency of the compressor reaches a designated defrosting frequency, a refrigerant pressure Pc at an exhaust port of the compressor and a module temperature T of a control unit of the outdoor unit 100 are detected. When the refrigerant pressure Pc is greater than the second set pressure value PT2 and/or the module temperature T is greater than the set temperature value D, the fan needs to perform heat dissipation intensively at this time, the first air deflector 20 can be controlled to rotate to the fully open state and the second air deflector 40 can be controlled to rotate to the fully open state, so that the air circulation area at the air inlet 130 and the air outlet 140 can be increased, the air convection between the air inlet 130 and the air outlet 140 can be enhanced, the heat exchange between the control unit and the outdoor air can be accelerated, the module temperature of the control unit of the outdoor unit 100 can be reduced, and the normal operation of the control unit can be ensured.
It should be noted that the second set pressure value PT2 and the set temperature value D can be selectively set according to the actual characteristics of the control unit, wherein the second set pressure value PT2 is greater than the first set pressure value PT1, and the set temperature value D should be less than the maximum working temperature that the control unit can bear. Alternatively, the second set pressure value PT2 may be 2.8MPa and the set temperature value D may be 70 ℃.
As shown in fig. 3, according to some embodiments of the present invention, when the first air guiding plate 20 rotates to the fully open state, the air inlet end of the first air guiding plate 20 is located below the air outlet end of the first air guiding plate 20, so that the air inlet area of the air inlet 130 can be increased. Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the air inlet end of the first air guiding plate 20 is disposed near the air inlet 130, and the air outlet end of the first air guiding plate 20 is disposed far from the air inlet 130. When the first air guiding plate 20 is in the fully opened state, the first air guiding plate 20 is disposed in an inclined manner, the inclined direction of the first air guiding plate can be perpendicular to the inclined direction of the first snow guard 110, and the air inlet end is located obliquely below the air outlet end, so that the air inlet area of the air inlet 130 can be increased, and the air convection between the outdoor unit 100 and the outside can be improved.
As shown in fig. 5, according to some embodiments of the present invention, when the second air deflectors 40 rotate to the fully open state, the second air deflectors 40 are horizontally disposed, so that a distance between two adjacent second air deflectors 40 can be increased, and an air outlet area of the air outlet 140 can be increased. As shown in fig. 2, it can be understood that the right side wall of the second snow guard 120 is vertically disposed, the second air guiding plate 40 is horizontally disposed in the fully open state, and the second air guiding plate 40 is perpendicular to the plane where the air inlet 130 is located, so that the air outlet area of the air outlet 140 can be increased to the maximum, the resistance of the second air guiding plate 40 to the air flow can be reduced, and the smooth air outlet of the outdoor unit 100 can be ensured.

The first driving motor 30 is connected to the connection end 210 of each first air deflection plate 20. When the air inlet 130 needs to be closed, the first driving motor 30 may drive the connecting end 210 of each first air guiding plate 20 to move downward, and each first air guiding plate 20 may rotate downward around the rotating end 220 thereof, so that the air inlet 130 may be closed. When the air inlet 130 needs to be opened, the first driving motor 30 may drive the connecting end 210 of each first air guiding plate 20 to move upward, and each first air guiding plate 20 may rotate upward around the rotating end 220 thereof, so that the air outlet 140 may be opened. Alternatively, the first driving motor 30 may be a stepping motor, and the first driving motor 30 may realize precise control of the inclination angle of the first air deflector 20 by adjusting the rotation number of itself.
As shown in fig. 5 to 6, according to some embodiments of the present invention, there are a plurality of second wind deflectors 40, and the plurality of second wind deflectors 40 are driven by the same motor to rotate, so that the matching structure of the plurality of second wind deflectors 40 is more compact and is convenient to control.

A second drive motor 50 is coupled to the second end 420 of each second air deflection plate 40. When it is required to close the air outlet 140, the second driving motor 50 may drive the second end 420 of each second air guiding plate 40 to move upward, and each second air guiding plate 40 may rotate upward around the first end 410 thereof, so that the air outlet 140 may be closed.

Alternatively, the second driving motor 50 may be a stepping motor, and the second driving motor 50 may realize the precise control of the inclination angle of the second air guiding plate 40 by adjusting the rotation number thereof.
As shown in fig. 1-2, according to some embodiments of the present invention, air inlet through holes are respectively formed on left and right sidewalls of the casing 10, and a first snow cover 110 is covered at each air inlet through hole, and the first snow cover 110 can effectively reduce ice and snow accumulation near the air conditioner, thereby ensuring normal air inlet of the outdoor heat exchanger. For example, as shown in fig. 1, the first snow-proof cover 110 is provided with a first inclined slope 110A, a second inclined slope 110B and a third inclined slope 110C, wherein the first inclined slope 110A is located at an upper end of the first snow-proof cover 110 and is connected to the housing 10, the third inclined slope 110C is located at a lower end of the first snow-proof cover 110 and is connected to the housing 10, and the second inclined slope 110B is located between the first inclined slope 110A and the third inclined slope 110C.

The third inclined slope 110C extends in the up-down direction toward a direction close to the cabinet 10. When frost and snow fall on the first snow prevention cover 110, the frost and snow may slide down the first inclined surface 110A and the second inclined surface 110B under the action of gravity or wind, so that the influence of the frost and snow on the outdoor unit 100 may be reduced, and the phenomenon of freezing of the outdoor heat exchanger due to the accumulation of the frost and snow may be prevented. It should be noted that the overall structure of the first snow-proof cover 110 is not limited thereto, and the present invention is not particularly limited thereto.
As shown in fig. 2, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the top of the cabinet 10 is provided with an air outlet hole, the second snow-proof cover 120 is provided at the top of the cabinet 10, and an upper side of the second snow-proof cover 120 may be inclined and extended in an up-down direction toward a direction approaching the first snow-proof cover 110.
