Detailed Description
So that the manner in which the features and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure can be understood in detail, a more particular description of the embodiments of the disclosure, briefly summarized above, may be had by reference to the appended drawings, which are included to illustrate, but are not intended to limit the embodiments of the disclosure. In the following description of the technology, for purposes of explanation, numerous details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the disclosed embodiments. However, one or more embodiments may be practiced without these details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices may be shown in simplified form in order to simplify the drawing.
Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a control method for defrosting an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control method for defrosting an air conditioner, which can be used to solve the problem that when the air conditioner operates in rainy or snowy conditions or in low-temperature and severe cold conditions, an outdoor heat exchanger frosts and affects the normal heating performance of the air conditioner; in an embodiment, the main flow steps of the control method include:
s101, acquiring the accumulated running time of a compressor and the temperature of an outdoor coil in the process of an air conditioner running heating mode;
in an embodiment, when the outdoor heat exchanger of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner has a frosting problem, the outdoor environment is mostly in a severe working condition with a low temperature and a high humidity, and at this time, a user generally sets the air conditioner to operate in a heating mode so as to heat and raise the temperature of the indoor environment by using the air conditioner. Therefore, the control method for defrosting the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the disclosure is a control flow which is started when the air conditioner operates in a heating mode.
When the air conditioner operates in other modes such as a cooling mode, a dehumidification mode and the like, because the outdoor working conditions corresponding to the modes generally do not cause the problem of frosting of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, optionally, when the air conditioner operates in other non-heating modes, the flow control process corresponding to the control method is not started, so that the situation that the defrosting action of the outdoor heat exchanger is mistakenly triggered in the modes such as the cooling mode and the dehumidification mode of the air conditioner, and the normal cooling or dehumidification working process of the air conditioner is influenced is avoided.
In an optional embodiment, the air conditioner is provided with a timing module, and in the single operation process of the air conditioner, when the compressor starts to operate, the timing module starts to time, and when the compressor stops operating, the timing mode stops timing; therefore, the accumulated running time obtained in step S101 may be a time duration counted by the time counting module;
here, when the air conditioner is turned off, the counted time duration of the timing module is cleared.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, as the operation time of the air conditioner compressor increases, the heat exchange time between the outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner and the outdoor environment also increases, which is also the time corresponding to the low temperature condition that the outdoor heat exchanger itself is in, and is prone to condense frost. The longer the duration is, the higher the possibility that the outdoor heat exchanger condenses frost is, and the thicker the frost thickness is; the shorter the duration is, the lower the possibility of frost condensation of the outdoor heat exchanger is, and the thinner the frost thickness is; therefore, the accumulated running time of the compressor is used as a reference factor for judging whether the frosting problem exists in the outdoor heat exchanger.
In an optional embodiment, a first temperature sensor is arranged at the coil position of an outdoor heat exchanger of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, and the first temperature sensor can be used for detecting the real-time temperature of the coil position of the first temperature sensor; thus, the outdoor coil temperature acquired in step S101 may be the real-time temperature of the coil position detected by the first temperature sensor.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the temperature change of the coil pipe position of the outdoor heat exchanger can visually reflect the temperature change condition of the refrigerant pipeline of the outdoor heat exchanger under the joint influence of the external outdoor environment temperature and the internal refrigerant temperature, and is also a pipeline part of the outdoor heat exchanger, which is easy to cause the frosting problem; therefore, the acquired temperature of the outdoor coil can be used as a reference factor for measuring the frosting influence of the inside and the outside of the air conditioner on the outdoor heat exchanger.
And S102, after the condition that the defrosting entry condition is met is determined according to the accumulated running time and the temperature of the outdoor coil, controlling the refrigerant flowing through a refrigerant liquid inlet pipeline and a refrigerant liquid outlet pipeline of the outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner to be heated.
The air conditioner is preset with a defrosting entry condition, and whether the air conditioner meets the defrosting entry condition can be judged according to the acquired parameters when the air conditioner operates in a heating mode; if so, the air conditioner needs to defrost the outdoor heat exchanger; if not, the air conditioner does not need to defrost the outdoor heat exchanger.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the air conditioner determines whether the defrosting entry condition is satisfied according to the parameters such as the accumulated running time of the compressor and the temperature of the first outdoor coil acquired in step S101; the accumulated running time of the compressor can reflect the possibility of frost condensation of the air conditioner, and the temperature of the outdoor coil can sensitively reflect the temperature change condition of the outdoor heat exchanger under the influence of the outdoor environment temperature, so that the embodiment of the disclosure integrates the factor parameters to judge whether the air conditioner has the problem of frost formation, the judgment precision of defrosting of the air conditioner can be greatly improved, and the defrosting operation triggered by the air conditioner can better accord with the real-time frost formation condition of the air conditioner.
In an alternative embodiment, the defrost entry condition in step S102 includes:
t im ≥t threshold value ，T e ≤T Frost ，T emax -T e ≥△T1，T Discharging liquid -T Feeding liquid ≤△T2，
And T Discharging liquid -T e ≤△T3；
Wherein, t im For the cumulative operating time of the compressor, t Threshold value Is a preset time threshold, T e Is the outdoor coil temperature, T Frost Critical temperature of frost at present condition, T emax The maximum value of the outdoor coil temperature, T, recorded after the air conditioner is started up and operated at this time Discharging liquid The refrigerant outlet temperature T of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant outlet pipeline of the outdoor heat exchanger in the heating mode Feeding liquid The temperature difference is the refrigerant liquid inlet temperature of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant liquid inlet pipeline, the delta T1 is a preset first temperature difference threshold value, the delta T2 is a preset second temperature difference threshold value, and the delta T3 is a preset third temperature difference threshold value. In the defrosting condition, the temperature difference between the temperature of the outdoor coil and the maximum value of the temperature of the outdoor coil can reflect the change condition of the temperature of the outdoor coil under the common influence of the internal environment and the external environment of the air conditioner; generally, when the outdoor environment has good working condition and the air conditioner is in normal operation for heating, the variation of the outdoor coil temperature compared with the maximum value of the outdoor coil temperature is limited; when the outdoor environment is changed into a severe working condition which easily causes the frost condensation of the outdoor heat exchanger, the temperature of the outdoor coil pipe is quickly reduced under the influence of the temperature change of the outdoor environment, so that the variation of the outdoor coil pipe in comparison with the maximum temperature of the outdoor coil pipe can generate larger fluctuation; thus, in this applicationOne of the defrosting entry conditions is to perform defrosting judgment according to the outdoor coil temperature under different outdoor working conditions.
Meanwhile, the defrosting entry condition of the air conditioner is added with the temperature T of the refrigerant outlet liquid Discharging liquid And refrigerant feed temperature T Feeding liquid The temperature difference between the two is judged, if the temperature difference between the two is smaller, the heat absorption and temperature rise efficiency of the refrigerant is lower, and the refrigerant possibly causes frosting of the air conditioner, so that the outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner needs to be defrosted under the condition; therefore, the sub-condition for judging defrosting according to the temperature of the refrigerant inlet and outlet liquid is introduced into the defrosting inlet condition so as to further improve the accuracy of judging defrosting.
Therefore, when such a defrosting entry condition is set, step S101 further includes obtaining a refrigerant inlet temperature and a refrigerant outlet temperature.
In an optional embodiment, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is further provided with a second temperature sensor, and the second temperature sensor can be used for detecting the real-time temperature of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant inlet pipeline of the outdoor heat exchanger; therefore, the liquid inlet temperature of the refrigerant obtained in step S101 may be the real-time temperature of the refrigerant detected by the second temperature sensor;
here, the refrigerant liquid inlet line is a line through which the refrigerant flows into the outdoor heat exchanger when the air conditioner operates in the heating mode.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the temperature of the refrigerant flowing into the outdoor heat exchanger is an internal temperature factor directly influencing the shell temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger; here, when the air conditioner operates in a heating mode, the outdoor heat exchanger absorbs heat from the outdoor environment, and the heat transfer sequence is the refrigerant in the indoor pipelines of the outdoor environment, the outdoor heat exchanger shell and the outdoor heat exchange shell; because the temperature difference between the outdoor heat exchanger and the heat exchanger can influence the heat conduction efficiency, the temperature of the refrigerant flowing into the outdoor heat exchanger can change the heat conduction rate of the refrigerant in the internal pipeline from the outdoor heat exchanger shell, and further can influence the temperature change of the outdoor heat exchanger shell; therefore, the obtained refrigerant inlet liquid temperature can be used as a reference factor for measuring the influence of the internal temperature condition of the air conditioner on the frosting of the outdoor heat exchanger.
In an optional embodiment, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is further provided with a third temperature sensor, and the third temperature sensor can be used for detecting the real-time temperature of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant outlet pipeline of the outdoor heat exchanger; therefore, the refrigerant liquid outlet pipeline obtained in step S101 may be the real-time temperature of the refrigerant detected by the third temperature sensor;
here, the refrigerant outflow line is a line through which the refrigerant flows out of the outdoor heat exchanger when the air conditioner operates in the heating mode.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the temperature of the refrigerant flowing out of the outdoor heat exchanger can reflect the heat exchange efficiency between the outdoor heat exchanger and the outdoor environment, and the heat exchange efficiency is influenced by the frosting degree of the outdoor heat exchanger; here, when the frost formation degree of the air conditioner is low and the thickness of the frost is thin, the influence of the frost on heat exchange is small, and the heat absorbed by the refrigerant flowing through the outdoor heat exchanger is large; under the conditions of high frosting degree and thick frost thickness of the air conditioner, the influence of the frost on heat exchange is large, and the heat absorbed by the refrigerant flowing through the outdoor heat exchanger is small. Therefore, the obtained refrigerant outlet liquid temperature can be used as a reference factor for measuring the frosting degree of the air-conditioning heat exchanger.
In addition, when the air conditioner has the frosting problem, due to the obstruction of the frost layer, the heat exchange efficiency between the outdoor heat exchanger and the outdoor environment is reduced, and the temperature of the refrigerant is a main factor influencing the temperature of the outdoor coil at the moment, so that when the temperature difference between the outlet liquid temperature of the refrigerant and the temperature of the outdoor coil is small, the frosting problem possibly exists in the outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner at the moment.
Therefore, the defrosting entry condition in the embodiment of the disclosure comprehensively considers the influence of the parameters on the frosting of the outdoor heat exchanger under different working conditions, so that the judgment precision of the air conditioner defrosting can be effectively improved, and the problems of misjudgment, mistriggering and the like are reduced.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, after it is determined that the defrosting entry condition is satisfied according to the accumulated running time of the compressor and the temperature of the first outdoor coil, the defrosting operation of the air conditioner includes controlling to heat the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant liquid inlet pipeline of the outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner to increase the temperature of the refrigerant flowing into the outdoor heat exchanger, and at this time, since the temperature of the refrigerant flowing into the outdoor heat exchanger is higher, the heat is transferred to one side of an outdoor environment, so that not only can the frost of the outdoor heat exchanger be melted by the heat of the refrigerant with the increased temperature, but also the temperature of the refrigerant flowing out of the outdoor heat exchanger and flowing back to the compressor can be increased to enhance the heating performance of the air conditioner.
Optionally, a heating device is disposed at a refrigerant liquid inlet pipeline of the outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner, and the heating device is configured to controllably heat the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant liquid inlet pipeline; therefore, in step S102, after it is determined that the defrosting entry condition is satisfied according to the accumulated operation time of the compressor and the temperature of the first outdoor coil, the heating device may be controlled to be turned on; and maintaining the off state of the heating means in case it is determined that the defrost entry condition is not satisfied based on the accumulated operation time of the compressor and the first outdoor coil temperature.
In one embodiment, the heating device is an electromagnetic heating device, which heats the refrigerant pipeline by using the principle of electromagnetic induction heating, and then conducts heat to the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant pipeline by using the refrigerant pipeline, so as to heat the refrigerant.
The electromagnetic heating device mainly comprises an induction coil and a power supply module, wherein the induction coil is wound on the refrigerant pipeline section, and the power supply module can provide alternating current for the induction coil; when the induction coil is electrified, alternating current flowing through the induction coil generates an alternating magnetic field passing through the refrigerant pipe section, and the alternating magnetic field can enable eddy currents to be generated inside the refrigerant pipe section, so that the effect of heating and warming can be achieved by means of energy of the eddy currents.
It should be understood that the type of the heating device for heating the refrigerant is not limited to the above electromagnetic heating device, and other types of heating devices capable of directly or indirectly heating the refrigerant in the related art may also apply the technical solution of the present application and are covered by the protection scope of the present application.
In an alternative embodiment, when the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant inlet pipeline of the outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner is controlled to be heated in step S102, the refrigerant inlet liquid heating parameter determined according to the time difference or the temperature difference may be first performed, and then the corresponding heating operation may be performed according to the refrigerant inlet liquid heating parameter.
The time difference value of the refrigerant liquid inlet heating parameter comprises: a time difference between the accumulated running time of the compressor and a time threshold; the temperature difference includes: a first temperature difference value between the maximum temperature of the outdoor coil and the temperature of the outdoor coil, a second temperature difference value between the frost critical temperature and the temperature of the outdoor coil, or a third temperature difference value between the liquid outlet temperature of the refrigerant and the liquid inlet temperature of the refrigerant; the refrigerant liquid heating parameters comprise the heating rate and/or the heating time of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant liquid inlet pipeline.
In the above technical disclosure, the time difference value and the temperature difference value are respectively used for the judgment of one of the sub-conditions of the defrosting entry condition; therefore, when it is determined in step S102 that the defrosting entry condition is satisfied, the frosting degree of the outdoor heat exchanger may be estimated according to the time difference or the temperature difference, and the heating rate and the heating duration of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant liquid inlet pipeline may be selected according to the difference of the frosting degree.
For example, when the frosting degree of the outdoor heat exchanger is high, the heating rate of the refrigerant is set to be high, so that the heating temperature rise speed of the refrigerant is increased, and the defrosting temperature requirement can be met as soon as possible; setting the heating time of the refrigerant to be longer so that the heat of the refrigerant has enough time to be conducted to the outer surface of the outdoor heat exchanger for defrosting; on the contrary, when the frosting degree of the outdoor heat exchanger is low, the heating rate of the refrigerant is set to be low, and the heating time is set to be short, so that the power consumption of the operation of the heating device is reduced, and the use cost of the air conditioner is reduced.
Optionally, determining a heating rate of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant inlet line according to the temperature difference includes: and acquiring a corresponding first heating rate from the first rate association relation according to the time difference so as to heat according to the first heating rate.
Here, the first rate correlation includes a correspondence of one or more time difference values to the first heating rate. An alternative time difference versus first heating rate is shown in table 1, herein, as shown in the following table,
time difference (unit: min) First heating Rate (Unit:. degree. C/min)
△t11＜t im -t Threshold value ≤△t12 v11
△t12＜t im -t Threshold value ≤△t13 v12
△t13＜t im -t Threshold value v13
TABLE 1
In the first rate correlation, the first heating rate is positively correlated with the time difference. I.e., the greater the difference in time, the higher the first heating rate; and the smaller the time difference, the lower the first heating rate.
Therefore, when the heating operation of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant inlet pipe in step S102 is performed, the first heating rate corresponding to the time difference may be determined according to the first rate correlation, and then the heating operation may be performed according to the first heating rate.
Optionally, determining a heating rate of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant inlet line according to the temperature difference includes: and acquiring a corresponding second heating rate from the second rate incidence relation according to the first temperature difference so as to heat according to the second heating rate.
Here, the second rate correlation includes a correspondence of one or more first temperature difference values to the second heating rate. An alternative first temperature difference versus second heating rate is shown in table 2, here, as shown in the following table,
first temperature difference (Unit:. degree. C.) Second heating Rate (Unit:. degree. C/min)
a1＜T emax -T e ≤a2 v21
a2＜T emax -T e ≤a3 v22
a3＜T emax -T e v23
TABLE 2
In the second rate correlation, the second heating rate is positively correlated with the first temperature difference. I.e. the larger the first temperature difference, the higher the second heating rate; and the smaller the first temperature difference, the lower the second heating rate.
Therefore, when the heating operation of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant inlet pipe in step S102 is performed, the second heating rate corresponding to the first temperature difference may be determined according to the second rate correlation, and then the heating operation may be performed according to the second heating rate.
Optionally, determining a heating rate of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant inlet line according to the temperature difference includes: and acquiring a corresponding third heating rate from the third rate incidence relation according to the second temperature difference so as to heat according to the third heating rate.
Here, the third rate correlation includes a correspondence between one or more second temperature difference values and the third heating rate. An alternative second temperature difference versus third heating rate is shown in table 3, here, as shown in the following table,
second temperature difference (Unit:. degree. C.) Third heating Rate (Unit:. degree. C/min)
b1＜T Frost -T e ≤b2 v31
b2＜T Frost -T e ≤b3 v32
b3＜T Frost -T e v33
TABLE 3
In the third rate correlation, the third heating rate is positively correlated with the second temperature difference. I.e. the larger the second temperature difference, the higher the third heating rate; and the smaller the second temperature difference, the lower the third heating rate.

TABLE 4
In the fourth rate correlation, the fourth heating rate is negatively correlated with the third temperature difference. I.e., the greater the third temperature difference, the lower the fourth heating rate; and the smaller the third temperature difference, the higher the fourth heating rate.
Therefore, when the heating operation of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant inlet pipe in step S102 is performed, the fourth heating rate corresponding to the third temperature difference may be determined according to the fourth rate correlation, and then the heating operation may be performed according to the fourth heating rate.
In the above embodiment, since the accumulated operating time lengths of the compressors corresponding to the frosting degrees of the outdoor heat exchanger are different, and the influence ranges of the accumulated operating time lengths to the temperature change of the outdoor coil and the temperature change of the refrigerant inlet and outlet liquid are different, the outdoor heat exchanger and the refrigerant inlet and outlet liquid are respectively provided with an independent association relationship, and the air conditioner can select one of the association relationships to determine the corresponding heating rate according to actual needs.
Optionally, the specifically selected rate association relationship may be determined according to the heating requirement of the current user, for example, when the heating requirement of the current user is low, the first rate association relationship, the second rate association relationship, and the third association relationship are selected, and at this time, the influence of the operation state of the outdoor unit component on the defrosting effect is mainly used; and when the heating demand of the current user is higher, the fourth rate incidence relation is selected, and at the moment, the influence of frosting of the outdoor heat exchanger on the refrigerant outlet temperature of the refrigerant with the high or low temperature of the refrigerant flowing back to the compressor is mainly considered, so that the return air temperature of the refrigerant can be increased after heating, and the heating performance is ensured.
Here, the heating demand of the current user may be determined by setting a target heating temperature for the air conditioner; for example, a heating temperature threshold is preset in the air conditioner, and when the target heating temperature actually set by the user is smaller than the heating temperature threshold, it indicates that the heating demand of the user is low at this time; and when the target heating temperature actually set by the user is greater than or equal to the heating temperature threshold, the heating requirement of the user is high or low at the moment.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the disclosure, the defrosting operation of the air conditioner to the outdoor heat exchanger can be timely triggered according to the actual frosting condition of the air conditioner, and meanwhile, the heating requirement of a user can be considered when the defrosting operation for heating the refrigerant is executed, so that the control requirement of the air conditioner on the comfort level of the user in the defrosting process is fully ensured.

In the above technical contents, the time difference value and the temperature difference value are also used for the judgment of one of the sub-conditions of the defrosting entry condition, respectively; therefore, when it is determined in step S102 that the defrosting entry condition is satisfied, the frosting degree of the outdoor heat exchanger may be estimated according to the time difference or the temperature difference, and the heating rate and the heating duration of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant liquid outlet pipeline may be selected according to the difference of the frosting degree.
For example, when the frosting degree of the outdoor heat exchanger is high, the attenuation of the thermal performance of the air conditioner is high, the heating rate of the refrigerant is set to be high, so that the heating and temperature rising speed of the flowing-out refrigerant is increased, and the requirement of the return air temperature can be met as soon as possible; setting the heating time of the refrigerant to be longer so as to heat the refrigerant flowing out of the outdoor heat exchanger and flowing back to the compressor for a long time under the condition that the outdoor heat exchanger is frosted seriously; on the contrary, when the frosting degree of the outdoor heat exchanger is low, the heating rate of the refrigerant is set to be low, and the heating time is set to be short, so that the power consumption of the operation of the first heating device is reduced, and the use cost of the air conditioner is reduced.
Optionally, determining a heating rate of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant liquid outlet pipeline according to the time difference includes: and acquiring a corresponding fifth heating rate from the fifth rate correlation according to the time difference so as to heat according to the fifth heating rate.

TABLE 5
In the fifth rate correlation, the fifth heating rate is positively correlated with the time difference. I.e., the greater the time difference, the higher the fifth heating rate; and the smaller the time difference, the lower the fifth heating rate.
