The air conditioner 100 includes an outdoor unit 110 and an indoor unit 120, in the outdoor unit 110, a pipe between a compressor 111 and a four-way valve 112 is an exhaust pipe 113 of the outdoor unit 110, a connection pipe 116 is disposed between the exhaust pipe 113 and an inlet pipe 115 of an outdoor unit heat exchanger 114, the exhaust pipe 113 is communicated with the inlet pipe 115 through the connection pipe 116, and a valve 117 is disposed on the connection pipe 116.
In this embodiment, the valve 117 may be an electronic expansion valve, but is not limited thereto. A first temperature sensor is installed at an air outlet of the indoor unit 120 of the air conditioner, a second temperature sensor is installed on an elbow of the outdoor unit heat exchanger 114, the first temperature sensor is used for detecting the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit 120 of the air conditioner, and the second temperature sensor is used for detecting the temperature of the middle part of the outdoor unit heat exchanger 114.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a control method for reducing frosting according to an embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that the control method for reducing frosting according to the present invention is not limited by the specific sequence shown in fig. 2 and described below. It should be understood that in other embodiments, the order of some steps in the control method for reducing frost formation according to the present invention may be interchanged according to actual needs, or some steps may be omitted or deleted. The control method for reducing frost formation can be applied to the above controller, and the specific flow shown in fig. 2 will be described in detail below.
Step S101, receiving a starting-up instruction.
In this embodiment, after the air conditioner 100 receives the power-on command, the mode of the air conditioner 100 that needs to be operated after being powered on can be determined according to the power-on command. For example, a heating mode, a cooling mode, a ventilation mode, a dehumidification mode, an automatic mode, etc. The steps S102 to S107 are executed when the start-up instruction instructs the air conditioner 100 to operate in the heating mode, the step S110 is executed when the start-up instruction instructs the air conditioner 100 to operate in the ventilation mode, the dehumidification mode or the cooling mode, and the steps S108 to S109 are executed when the start-up instruction instructs the air conditioner 100 to operate in the automatic mode.
Step S102, when a starting-up instruction is received and the starting-up instruction indicates that the air conditioner operates in a heating mode, acquiring the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit and the acquisition temperature of a preset acquisition point in the heat exchanger of the outdoor unit.
The indoor unit outlet air temperature can be obtained from a first temperature sensor installed at the air outlet of the indoor unit 120 of the air conditioner, and the collected temperature can be obtained from a second temperature sensor installed on the elbow of the outdoor unit heat exchanger 114, that is, the collected temperature of the preset collection point in the outdoor unit heat exchanger 114 in this embodiment is the temperature of the middle portion of the outdoor unit heat exchanger 114.
It can be understood that, after the air conditioner 100 is turned on, the indoor unit outlet air temperature and the temperature of the middle portion of the outdoor unit heat exchanger 114 only need to be obtained through the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor in the heating mode.
And step S103, when the air outlet temperature of the inner machine is higher than a first preset value for the first time and the collected temperature is not higher than a second preset value for the first time, controlling a valve to be opened so as to introduce the refrigerant in the exhaust pipe into the heat exchanger of the outdoor machine through the connecting pipe and the inlet pipe.
In this embodiment, when the valve element 117 is controlled to open, a gradual opening manner may be adopted. For example, when the valve element 117 is an electronic expansion valve, the valve element 117 may be gradually opened at a speed of 5 steps/second.
The preferred interval of the first preset value is 28-32 ℃, and the user can keep outputting heat to the room in the interval; the preferable range of the second preset value is-1 ℃ to-4 ℃, and the frost layer in the air conditioner outdoor unit 110 is not obvious in the range, so that the accelerated formation of the frost layer can be relieved; the first time is preferably 2min to 4min, but if the time is not long enough, the frost layer thickness is not formed as fast, and if the time is too short, the fluctuation may be affected.
Thus, when the air outlet temperature and the collection temperature of the inner machine meet the condition that the air outlet temperature of the inner machine is higher than a first preset value for the first time and the collection temperature is not higher than a second preset value for the first time, indicating that the outdoor unit 110 is easily frosted under this condition, the control valve 117 is gradually opened, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant before the valve 117 is introduced into the outdoor heat exchanger 114 by the pressure difference between the front and rear sides of the valve 117 and the suction generated by the rotation of the compressor 111, so as to increase the temperature of the refrigerant in the outdoor heat exchanger 114, thereby slowing down the frosting speed of the outdoor unit 110 of the air conditioner, effectively improving the heating effect of the air conditioner 100, and prolonging the defrosting period of the air conditioner 100 by slowing down the frosting speed, the shutdown frequency of the air conditioner 100 during heating operation is reduced to a certain extent, so that the heating effect of the air conditioner 100 is further improved, and the comfort of the air conditioner 100 during low-temperature heating is improved.
Optionally, after the valve element 117 is gradually opened, the method may further include:
and step S104, after the valve is opened, if the air outlet temperature of the internal machine is higher than the first preset value for the second time and the collected temperature is higher than the second preset value for the second time, controlling the valve to keep the current opening.
In this embodiment, the preferred interval of the second time is 2s to 4s, and if the second time is too long, the outlet air temperature of the internal machine will decrease, and if the second time is too short, it cannot ensure that the frosting is fast. When the indoor unit outlet air temperature is higher than the first preset value for the second time and the collected temperature is higher than the second preset value for the second time, the valve 117 is stopped to be opened continuously, the valve 117 keeps the current opening degree, and the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant is introduced into the outdoor unit heat exchanger 114, so that the pressure of the refrigerant entering the outdoor unit heat exchanger 114 is increased, and the frosting possibility in the outdoor unit heat exchanger 114 is reduced.
And step S105, after the valve is opened, if the air outlet temperature of the internal machine is not higher than the first preset value for the third time, controlling the valve to keep the current opening.
In this embodiment, the preferred interval of the third time is 25s to 35s, and too long third time may cause the air outlet temperature of the internal machine to be low, which affects comfort. When the indoor unit outlet air temperature continues for the third time and is not higher than the first preset value, the valve 117 is stopped to be opened continuously, the current opening degree of the valve 117 is kept, and the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant is introduced into the outdoor unit heat exchanger 114, so that the pressure of the refrigerant entering the outdoor unit heat exchanger 114 is increased, and the frosting possibility in the outdoor unit heat exchanger 114 is reduced.
Optionally, after step S102, the method may further include:
and S106, controlling the valve to close when the air outlet temperature of the internal machine is higher than a first preset value and the collected temperature is higher than a second preset value.
In this embodiment, when the indoor unit outlet air temperature is higher than the first preset value and the collection temperature of the preset collection point in the outdoor unit heat exchanger 114 is higher than the second preset value, it indicates that the heating effect of the air conditioner 100 is better under this condition, and the outdoor unit 110 of the air conditioner will not frost, so the valve 117 on the connection pipe 116 does not need to be opened.
Optionally, after step S102, the method may further include:
and step S107, when the air outlet temperature of the internal machine is not higher than the first preset value, controlling the valve to close.
In this embodiment, after the air conditioner 100 starts the heating mode, when the indoor unit outlet air temperature is determined not to be higher than the first preset value, it indicates that the outdoor unit 110 will not frost substantially under this condition, so it is not necessary to open the valve 117 on the connecting pipe 116.
Optionally, in this embodiment, the method may further include:
step S108, when the starting-up instruction indicates that the air conditioner operates in the automatic mode, the indoor environment temperature is obtained.
The indoor environment temperature can be detected by a pre-installed indoor environment temperature sensor in step S109, and the operation mode of the air conditioner and the open/close state of the control valve are determined according to the indoor environment temperature, wherein the operation mode includes a ventilation mode, a cooling mode and a heating mode.
In the present embodiment, when the power-on command indicates that the air conditioner 100 operates in the automatic mode, it is necessary to determine whether the air conditioner 100 specifically operates in the ventilation mode, the cooling mode or the heating mode, and to control the open/close state of the valve 117 according to the acquired indoor ambient temperature.
Specifically, this step S109 includes: when the indoor environment temperature is higher than a third preset value and lower than a fourth preset value, determining that the air conditioner operates in a ventilation mode, and controlling a valve to close; when the indoor environment temperature is not lower than a fourth preset value, determining that the air conditioner operates in a refrigeration mode, and controlling a valve to close; and when the indoor environment temperature is not higher than the third preset value, determining that the air conditioner operates in a heating mode.
When it is determined that the air conditioner 100 is operating in the heating mode, the valve element 117 is controlled to open or close in accordance with the control manner shown in the above steps S102 to S107.
Optionally, in this embodiment, the method may further include:
in step S110, when the start-up command indicates that the air conditioner operates in the ventilation mode, the dehumidification mode, or the cooling mode, the valve is controlled to close.
That is, after the air conditioner 100 receives the power-on command, it needs to operate normally according to the mode indicated by the power-on command, and if it is not in the heating mode, the valve 117 on the connection pipe 116 needs to be kept closed.
Next, an example is given to specifically explain the above-described step S101 to step S110. Referring to fig. 3, it is assumed that the first preset value T1 is 30 ℃, the second preset value T2 is-3 ℃, the third preset value T3 is 20 ℃, the fourth preset value T4 is 27 ℃, the first time a is 3min, the second time b is 3s, and the third time c is 30 s. After the air conditioner 100 receives the power-on command, it determines the mode of the air conditioner 100 that needs to be operated after the air conditioner is powered on according to the power-on command (i.e., step S21); when it is determined that the mode requiring operation is the ventilation mode, the air conditioner 100 operates in the normal ventilation mode, and controls the valve 117 to keep the closed state, without acquiring the indoor unit outlet air temperature T1 and the collection temperature T2 of the preset collection point in the outdoor unit heat exchanger 114 (i.e., step S22); when it is determined that the mode requiring operation is the dehumidification mode, the air conditioner 100 operates in the normal dehumidification mode, and controls the valve 117 to keep the closed state, without acquiring the indoor unit outlet air temperature T1 and the acquisition temperature T2 of the preset acquisition point in the outdoor unit heat exchanger 114 (i.e., step S23); when it is determined that the mode requiring operation is the cooling mode, the air conditioner 100 operates in the normal cooling mode, and controls the valve 117 to keep the closed state, without acquiring the indoor unit outlet air temperature T1 and the collection temperature T2 of the preset collection point in the outdoor unit heat exchanger 114 (i.e., step S24); when the mode needing to be operated is determined to be the heating mode, the air conditioner 100 may continuously detect the indoor unit outlet air temperature T1 and the collected temperature T2 after operating for 10 minutes, determine the relationship between T1 and T1, and between T2 and T2 (i.e., step S25), and control the valve element 117 to maintain the closed state when T1> T1 and T2> T2 (i.e., step S26); when T1 is less than or equal to T1, the valve element 117 is controlled to maintain the closed state (i.e., step S27); when T1> T1 and T2 ≦ T2 continues for a ═ 3min, the valve element 117 is gradually opened at a speed of 5 steps/second (i.e., step S28), after the valve element 117 is opened, if T1> T1 and T2> T2 continue for b ═ 3S, the current opening degree of the valve element 117 is kept unchanged (i.e., step S29), and after the valve element 117 is opened, if T1 ≦ T1 continues for c ≦ 30S, the current opening degree of the valve element 117 is kept unchanged (i.e., step S30); when the mode requiring operation is determined to be the automatic mode, the current indoor ambient temperature TA needs to be detected, and whether the air conditioner 100 specifically operates the cooling, heating or ventilation mode is determined by the indoor ambient temperature TA (i.e., step S31), wherein when the indoor ambient temperature TA satisfies T3< TA < T4, the control is performed according to step S22 (i.e., step S32), when the indoor ambient temperature TA satisfies TA ≧ T4, the control is performed according to step S24 (i.e., step S33), and when the indoor ambient temperature TA satisfies TA ≦ T3, the control is performed according to steps S25 to S30 (i.e., step S34).
It should be noted that, in this embodiment, when the air conditioner 100 receives another instruction, taking a shutdown instruction as an example, the on-off condition of the valve 117 may be detected first after waiting for a certain time (for example, 3s), if the valve 117 is in the open state, the valve 117 is closed first, and then a shutdown action is performed, and if the valve 117 is in the closed state, the shutdown action is directly performed; further, taking the mode switching command as an example, if the mode switching command is received during the heating operation of the air conditioner 100, the valve 117 is closed.
Fig. 4 is a functional block diagram of a control apparatus 400 for reducing frosting according to an embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that the basic principle and the technical effects of the control device 400 for reducing frosting according to the embodiment of the present invention are the same as those of the foregoing method embodiment, and for a brief description, reference may be made to the corresponding contents of the foregoing method embodiment for the parts not mentioned in the present embodiment. The control device 400 for reducing frost formation can be applied to the above controller, and includes a command receiving module 410, an obtaining module 420 and a control module 430.
