Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a control method for defrosting an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control method for defrosting an air conditioner, as shown in fig. 1, including the following steps:
s101: and under the condition that the air conditioner needs defrosting, controlling the heating of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant liquid inlet pipeline and the refrigerant liquid outlet pipeline of the outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner.
Optionally, whether the air conditioner needs defrosting is judged by comparing the outdoor environment temperature with the frost point temperature. When the outdoor environment temperature is lower than the frost point temperature, the air conditioner is considered to need defrosting; when the outdoor ambient temperature is higher than the frost point temperature, the air conditioner is considered to be not required to defrost.
The defrosting operation of the air conditioner comprises the step of controlling the refrigerant flowing through a refrigerant liquid inlet pipeline and a refrigerant liquid outlet pipeline of an outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner to be heated, so that the temperature of the refrigerant flowing into the outdoor heat exchanger can be effectively increased, the frost condensed on the outdoor heat exchanger is melted by using the heat of the refrigerant, and the temperature of the refrigerant flowing back to a compressor can also be increased, the heating efficiency is improved, and the adverse effect of frost condensation on the heating performance of the air conditioner is reduced.
Optionally, a first heating device is disposed at a refrigerant liquid inlet pipeline of the air conditioner outdoor heat exchanger, and the first heating device is configured to controllably heat the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant liquid inlet pipeline. Under the condition that the air conditioner needs defrosting, the first heating device can be controlled to be started; and under the condition that the air conditioner does not need heating, the closed state of the first heating device is kept. The second heating device is arranged at the position of a refrigerant liquid outlet pipeline of the air conditioner outdoor heat exchanger and is used for controllably heating the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant liquid outlet pipeline. Under the condition that the air conditioner needs defrosting, the second heating device can be controlled to be started; and under the condition that the air conditioner does not need heating, the closed state of the second heating device is kept.
In an embodiment, the first heating device and the second heating device are electromagnetic heating devices, and the electromagnetic heating devices heat the refrigerant pipeline by using the principle of electromagnetic induction heating, and further conduct heat to the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant pipeline by using the refrigerant pipeline, so as to achieve the purpose of heating 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 generate eddy currents in the refrigerant pipe section, so that the heating and warming effects can be realized by means of the energy of the eddy currents.
It should be understood that the types of the first heating device and the second heating device for heating the refrigerant in the present application are not limited to the above electromagnetic heating devices, and other types of heating devices capable of directly or indirectly heating the refrigerant in the related art may also apply the technical solution in the present application and are covered by the protection scope of the present application.
S102: and obtaining the temperature of an outdoor coil of the outdoor heat exchanger and the temperature of the refrigerant outlet liquid of the outdoor heat exchanger.
Optionally, a first temperature sensor is disposed at a coil position of an outdoor heat exchanger of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, and the first temperature sensor may be configured to detect a real-time temperature of the coil position. Thus, the outdoor coil temperature acquired in step S102 may be the real-time temperature of the coil position detected by the first temperature sensor.
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 in addition, the temperature change condition is generally 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.
Optionally, a second temperature sensor is disposed in the outdoor heat exchanger of the outdoor unit, and the second temperature sensor may be configured to detect a real-time temperature of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant outlet line of the outdoor heat exchanger. Therefore, the refrigerant outlet temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger obtained in step S102 may be the real-time temperature of the refrigerant detected by the second 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.
The temperature of the refrigerant flowing out of the outdoor heat exchanger can reflect the heat exchange efficiency of 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.
S103: and under the condition that the temperature of the outdoor coil pipe and the temperature of the refrigerant outlet liquid meet the defrosting exit condition, controlling to stop heating.
In the process of heating the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant liquid inlet pipeline and the refrigerant liquid outlet pipeline of the outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner, the time for stopping heating and quitting defrosting of the air conditioner is comprehensively judged by utilizing two parameters of the outdoor coil temperature and the refrigerant liquid outlet temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger. The temperature of the outdoor coil pipe can reflect the temperature change conditions of refrigerant pipelines at different positions of the outdoor heat exchanger relatively sensitively, and the liquid outlet temperature of the refrigerant can reflect the attenuation condition of the heating performance of the outdoor heat exchanger under the condition of frosting of the air conditioner. Therefore, the defrosting condition of the outdoor heat exchanger is comprehensively judged through two parameters of the outdoor coil temperature and the refrigerant outlet temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger, the control precision of controlling the air conditioner to quit defrosting can be effectively improved, the condition that the air conditioner quits the defrosting mode in advance to cause incomplete defrosting is avoided, or the normal heating performance of the air conditioner is influenced by continuously operating the defrosting mode after defrosting is completed.
Optionally, the defrost exit condition is:
T1≥T01,t1≥t01,T2≥T02,t2≥t02and T is0-T2<ΔT0
Wherein, T1Is the outdoor coil temperature, T, of the outdoor heat exchanger01Is a first predetermined temperature, t1Is T1≥T01Duration of (d), t01Is a first preset duration, T2For the refrigerant outlet temperature, T, of the outdoor heat exchanger02Is a second predetermined temperature, t2Is T2≥T02Duration of (d), t02For a second predetermined duration, T0The initial refrigerant outlet temperature delta T of the outdoor heat exchanger when the air conditioner is started0Is a preset temperature difference threshold value.
Optionally, the first preset temperature is a correction temperature of the outdoor coil after the outdoor heat exchanger completes defrosting in a pre-stored defrosting test process of the air conditioner. After the outdoor heat exchanger finishes defrosting, the temperature of an outdoor coil pipe of the outdoor heat exchanger fluctuates to a certain extent due to reasons such as frost water evaporation and the like. Therefore, the temperature of the outdoor coil pipe detected in the process of testing the defrosting of the outdoor heat exchanger after the defrosting is finished is corrected, and the accuracy of the defrosting exit condition is improved.
The first preset temperature can be calculated by the following formula:
T01=α*T001
wherein alpha is a first scale factor, T001The temperature of the outdoor coil after the defrosting of the outdoor heat exchanger is finished and detected in the defrosting test process of the air conditioner is detected. Alpha has a value range of [1.1, 1.3 ]]E.g. 1.1, 1.15, 1.2, 1.25, 1.3.
Optionally, the second preset temperature is a pre-stored correction temperature of the refrigerant outlet liquid temperature after the defrosting of the outdoor heat exchanger is completed, which is detected in the air conditioner defrosting test process. After defrosting of the outdoor heat exchanger is completed, heat exchange efficiency between the outdoor heat exchanger and an outdoor environment is affected due to reasons such as evaporation of frost water condensed on the outdoor heat exchanger, and further deviation occurs between detected refrigerant liquid outlet temperature and refrigerant liquid outlet temperature when the outdoor heat exchanger stably operates after actual defrosting is completed. Therefore, the refrigerant outlet liquid temperature after the defrosting of the outdoor heat exchanger is finished, which is detected in the air conditioner defrosting test process, is corrected, and the accuracy of the defrosting exit condition is improved.
The second preset temperature can be calculated by the following formula:
T02=β*T002
wherein beta is a second proportionality coefficient, T002The temperature of the refrigerant discharged from the outdoor heat exchanger after defrosting is detected in the defrosting test process of the air conditioner. The value range of beta is [1.1, 1.4 ]]E.g. 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4.
Optionally, the first preset duration is in a value range of [2s, 5s ] (s: s), for example, 2s, 3s, 4s, 5 s; the second preset duration is in a range of [2s, 5s ], for example, 2s, 3s, 4s, 5 s.
The defrosting condition of the outdoor heat exchanger can be reflected by the temperature difference between the initial refrigerant liquid outlet temperature when the air conditioner is started and the real-time liquid outlet temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger. When the air conditioner is started, the initial refrigerant outlet temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger is the refrigerant outlet temperature when the outdoor heat exchanger is frostless or frostless, so that the smaller the temperature difference between the initial refrigerant outlet temperature when the air conditioner is started and the refrigerant outlet temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger is, the smaller the frosting amount of the outdoor heat exchanger is, and the more thorough the defrosting is.
In the defrosting exit condition, the temperature of the outdoor coil of the outdoor heat exchanger is greater than a first preset temperature, and the duration is greater than a first preset duration, so that the defrosting completion of the outer surface of the outdoor heat exchanger can be visually reflected; the refrigerant outlet temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger is greater than a second preset temperature, and the duration time is greater than the second preset time, so that the condition that the heating performance of the outdoor heat exchanger recovers at least frost or no frost can be reflected; the temperature difference between the initial refrigerant outlet temperature when the air conditioner is started and the real-time outlet temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger is smaller than the preset temperature difference threshold value, the heating performance of the outdoor heat exchanger is further reflected to be restored to the state when the outdoor heat exchanger is started, and the outdoor heat exchanger is relatively thoroughly defrosted. Therefore, the heating of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant liquid inlet pipeline of the outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner can be stopped, and the defrosting operation mode of the air conditioner can be quitted.
In the embodiment, in the defrosting operation process of the air conditioner, the time for the air conditioner to quit defrosting is comprehensively judged by using two parameters, namely the coil temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger and the refrigerant outlet temperature, so that the control precision for controlling the air conditioner to quit defrosting can be effectively improved, incomplete defrosting caused by the fact that the air conditioner quits the defrosting mode in advance is avoided, or the normal heating performance of the air conditioner is influenced by continuously operating the defrosting mode after defrosting is completed. In addition, the defrosting operation of the air conditioner comprises the step of controlling the heating of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant liquid inlet pipeline and the refrigerant liquid outlet pipeline of the outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner, so that the temperature of the refrigerant flowing into the outdoor heat exchanger can be effectively increased, the frost condensed on the outdoor heat exchanger is melted by the heat of the refrigerant, and the temperature of the refrigerant flowing back to the compressor can also be increased, thereby improving the heating efficiency and reducing the adverse effect of the frost condensation on the heating performance of the air conditioner.
Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a control method for defrosting an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

s201: and judging whether the air conditioner needs to be defrosted or not.
S202: and under the condition that the air conditioner needs defrosting, determining a first heating parameter for heating according to the temperature difference between the refrigerant inlet temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger and the refrigerant outlet temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger.
Optionally, the first heating parameter comprises a first target heating rate or a first target heating duration.
Optionally, a third temperature sensor is disposed in the outdoor heat exchanger of the outdoor unit, and the third temperature sensor may be configured to detect a real-time temperature of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant inlet line of the outdoor heat exchanger. Therefore, the refrigerant inlet temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger obtained in step S202 may be the real-time temperature of the refrigerant detected by the third 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.
The difference between the refrigerant inlet temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger and the refrigerant outlet temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger is small, so that the heat absorption and temperature rise efficiency of the refrigerant is low, the frosting degree of the outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner is serious, the first target heating rate needs to be increased, the first target heating time length needs to be increased, the first target heating interruption time length needs to be shortened, and the defrosting is accelerated; the temperature difference between the refrigerant inlet temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger and the refrigerant outlet temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger is large, so that the refrigerant heat absorption and temperature rise efficiency is high, the frosting degree of the air-conditioning outdoor heat exchanger is low, the first target heating rate can be properly reduced, the first target heating time duration is shortened, the first target heating interruption time duration is increased, and the energy-saving effect is achieved. Therefore, the first heating parameter for heating can be determined according to the temperature difference between the refrigerant inlet temperature and the refrigerant outlet temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger.
Optionally, according to the temperature difference, a corresponding first heating rate is obtained from the first heating rate correlation, and the first heating rate is used as a first target heating rate.
The first heating rate correlation includes a correspondence of one or more temperature differences to the first heating rate. For example, table 1 shows a correspondence of an optional temperature difference to a first heating rate (where Δ T ═ T)2-T3Delta T is the temperature difference between the refrigerant inlet temperature and the refrigerant outlet temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger, T3Refrigerant inlet temperature of outdoor heat exchanger):

In the first heating rate correlation, the first heating rate is inversely related to the temperature difference. That is, the larger the temperature difference, the smaller the first heating rate; the smaller the temperature difference, the larger the first heating rate.
Optionally, according to the temperature difference, a corresponding first heating duration is obtained from the first heating duration correlation, and the first heating duration is used as a first target heating duration.
The first heating duration correlation includes a correspondence of one or more temperature differences to the first heating duration. For example, table 2 shows an alternative temperature difference versus first heating time period:

In the first heating time length correlation relationship, the first heating time length and the temperature difference value are in negative correlation. That is, the larger the temperature difference, the smaller the first heating period; the smaller the temperature difference, the larger the first heating period.
S203: and controlling the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant liquid inlet pipeline of the outdoor heat exchanger to be heated according to the first heating parameter.
And after obtaining corresponding first heating parameters (a first target heating rate and a first target heating time length) according to the first heating parameter association relation, heating according to the corresponding first heating parameters. Under the condition of ensuring normal defrosting of the air conditioner, the running power consumption of the heating device for heating the refrigerant is reduced as much as possible, and the energy-saving effect is achieved.
S204: and determining a second heating parameter for heating according to the superheat degree of the air conditioner.
Optionally, the second heating parameter comprises a second target heating rate or a second target heating duration.
The superheat of the air conditioner is generally referred to as a condenser, and refers to a difference between a saturation temperature corresponding to a refrigerant pressure at a point of an outlet of the condenser and an actual temperature of the refrigerant. The superheat degree of the air conditioner can be calculated according to the following formula:
SC=Tan outlet-TMiddle part
Wherein SC is the superheat degree of the air conditioner, TAn outletIs the condenser outlet temperature (indoor heat exchanger outlet temperature), TMiddle partThe condenser middle temperature (indoor heat exchanger middle temperature).
If the superheat degree of the air conditioner is larger, the return air pressure and the temperature of the air conditioner are lower, at the moment, the second target heating rate needs to be improved, the second target heating time length needs to be increased, the second target heating interruption time length needs to be shortened, and the return air pressure and the temperature of the air conditioner need to be improved; if the superheat degree of the air conditioner is smaller, the return air pressure and the return air temperature of the air conditioner are higher, the second target heating rate can be properly reduced, the second target heating time duration is shortened, the second target heating interruption time duration is increased, the power consumption of the second heating device in operation is reduced, and the use cost of the air conditioner is reduced. Therefore, the second heating parameter of heating can be determined by the degree of superheat of the air conditioner.
Optionally, according to the degree of superheat, a corresponding second heating rate is obtained from the second heating rate correlation and is used as a second target heating rate.
The second heating rate correlation includes a correspondence of one or more degrees of superheat to the second heating rate. For example, table 3 shows an alternative superheat versus second heating rate relationship:

a21<SC≤a22 |

a22<SC≤a23 |

a23<SC
|
V23 |
In the second heating rate correlation, the second heating rate is positively correlated with the degree of superheat. That is, the greater the degree of superheat, the greater the second heating rate; the smaller the degree of superheat, the smaller the second heating rate.
Optionally, according to the degree of superheat, a corresponding second heating duration is obtained from the second heating duration correlation, and the second heating duration is used as a second target heating duration.
The second heating time period correlation includes a correspondence between one or more degrees of superheat and the second heating time period. For example, table 4 shows an alternative superheat to second heating period:

In the correlation relationship of the second heating time, the second heating time is positively correlated with the degree of superheat. That is, the larger the degree of superheat, the larger the second heating period; the smaller the degree of superheat, the smaller the second heating period.
S205: and controlling the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant liquid outlet pipeline of the outdoor heat exchanger to be heated according to the second heating parameter.
And after obtaining corresponding second heating parameters (a second target heating rate and a second target heating time length) according to the second heating parameter association relation, heating according to the corresponding second heating parameters.
