In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below.
Referring to fig. 1, a control method of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
step S110, determining whether the discharge temperature of the compressor of the air conditioner is greater than or equal to a first discharge temperature.
After the air conditioner is started to heat, the air conditioner is in a heating mode, and the working state of the compressor can be judged according to the exhaust temperature of the compressor. The first exhaust temperature is set according to actual needs, and in this embodiment, the first exhaust temperature is 110 ℃. For convenience of explanation, the discharge temperature of the compressor is denoted by Td. In step S110, it is determined whether the exhaust temperature satisfies Td ≧ 110 ℃.
And step S120, if the exhaust temperature is greater than or equal to the first exhaust temperature, controlling the compressor to stop.
It should be understood that in the present embodiment, if the discharge temperature of the compressor is greater than or equal to the first discharge temperature, i.e. Td ≧ 110 ℃, the discharge temperature of the compressor is considered to be too high, and the compressor is controlled to be directly stopped.
In step S130, if the exhaust temperature is lower than the first exhaust temperature, it is determined whether the exhaust temperature is higher than or equal to the second exhaust temperature and lower than the first exhaust temperature.
Note that the second exhaust temperature is lower than the first exhaust temperature. The second exhaust temperature is set according to actual needs, and in this embodiment, the second exhaust temperature is 100 ℃. That is, in step S130 of the present embodiment, it is determined whether the exhaust temperature satisfies 100 ℃ ≦ Td < 110 ℃.
And step S140, if the exhaust temperature is greater than or equal to the second exhaust temperature and less than the first exhaust temperature, controlling the current operation frequency of the compressor to be reduced.
It should be understood that in the present embodiment, if the discharge air temperature is greater than or equal to the second discharge air temperature and less than the first discharge air temperature, i.e., 100 ℃. ltoreq. Td < 110 ℃, then the discharge air temperature of the compressor is considered to be higher, and the current operating frequency of the compressor is controlled to be lowered to lower the discharge air temperature of the compressor. Optionally, the current operating frequency of the compressor is controlled to decrease at a rate of decrease of 5 s/Hz. Of course, the rate of decrease of the compressor frequency can be set accordingly according to actual needs.
Step S150, if the exhaust temperature is lower than the second exhaust temperature, determine whether the exhaust temperature is greater than or equal to the third exhaust temperature and lower than the second exhaust temperature.
Note that the third exhaust gas temperature is lower than the second exhaust gas temperature. The third exhaust temperature is set according to actual needs, and in this embodiment, the third exhaust temperature is 95 ℃. That is, in step S150 of the present embodiment, it is determined whether the exhaust temperature satisfies 95 ℃. ltoreq. Td < 100 ℃.
In step S160, if the discharge temperature is greater than or equal to the third discharge temperature and less than the second discharge temperature, the compressor is controlled to prohibit the frequency increase.
It should be understood that in the present embodiment, the compressor is controlled to prohibit the frequency up-conversion if the discharge temperature is greater than or equal to the third discharge temperature and less than the second discharge temperature, i.e., 95 ℃ ≦ Td < 100 ℃.
It should be noted that, in steps 110 to 160, the operating condition of the compressor is determined according to the discharge temperature of the compressor, so as to determine whether the compressor can be frequency-increased, and the following steps are performed to control the current operating frequency of the compressor as required.
In addition, in this embodiment, if the exhaust temperature is lower than the third exhaust temperature, that is, Td < 95 ℃, the following step S200 is executed.
And S200, controlling the actual inner disc temperature of the air conditioner to be maintained at the target inner disc temperature when the air conditioner is in the heating mode, wherein the target inner disc temperature is determined by the target heating capacity value of the air conditioner in the heating mode.
It should be noted that, after the air conditioner is started to heat, the compressor is normally started to operate, and after the compressor is operated for a period of time, for example, 10min, the actual inner disc temperature starts to be detected, where the actual inner disc temperature represents the real-time coil temperature of the indoor unit. During detection, the detection is performed once every a period of time, and the time interval is set accordingly as required, and may be 30s, for example.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a heating capacity graph of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the air conditioner is operated in a heating mode at an ambient temperature of 2 ℃, and a heating capacity value of the air conditioner is plotted with the heating operation time; wherein, the ordinate is the heating capacity value with the unit of W, and the abscissa is the heating operation time with the unit of min. And when the heating capacity value of the air conditioner reaches the target heating capacity value and the slope of the curve which decreases along with the heating operation time is higher than the preset value, the actual inner disc temperature corresponding to the heating capacity value is the target inner disc temperature.
It should be noted that, experimental data show that, under the experimental working condition, the target inner disc temperature and the heating capacity of the same model are in a linear relationship, that is, the higher the target inner disc temperature is, the higher the heating capacity is, the corresponding heating time is reduced, and the attenuation is increased. The air conditioner can select a proper target inner plate temperature according to the required heating capacity so as to prolong the heating time and reduce the attenuation. That is, the target inner disc temperature is determined according to the target heating capacity value. Wherein, the target heating capacity value is set correspondingly according to actual needs. In this embodiment, in a heating capacity curve in which a heating capacity value of the air conditioner changes with a heating operation time when an ambient temperature is 2 ℃, a target preset inner panel temperature (at which time an actual inner panel temperature of the air conditioner is not controlled to be maintained at the target preset inner panel temperature) is set to 48 ℃, and as the heating operation time changes, the heating capacity value first rises and then falls, and due to changes in the heating capacity value and frosting of an indoor unit coil, the actual inner panel temperature does not reach the target preset inner panel temperature. When the heating capacity value reaches the target heating capacity value, for example, the target heating capacity value is set to 8000W as required, that is, the heating capacity value reaches 8000W, and the slope of the curve of the heating capacity value decreasing with the heating operation time is higher than a preset value (indicating that the attenuation of the heating capacity value is greater than the preset attenuation change rate), in order to reduce the attenuation, the actual inner panel temperature corresponding to the heating capacity value with the slope of the curve higher than the preset value is taken as the target inner panel temperature. In this embodiment, the actual inner panel temperature corresponding to the heating capacity value with the slope of the curve higher than the preset value is 43 ℃, so that the target inner panel temperature can be set according to the heating capacity curve and the target heating capacity value, that is, the target inner panel temperature is set to be 43 ℃, and the actual inner panel temperature of the air conditioner is controlled to be maintained at the target inner panel temperature.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a heating capacity graph of the air conditioner according to the heating operation time when the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present invention is operated to heat at an ambient temperature of 2 ℃, and when the actual inner panel temperature is maintained at the target inner panel temperature, the heating capacity value of the air conditioner is plotted; wherein, the ordinate is the heating capacity value with the unit of W, and the abscissa is the heating operation time with the unit of min.
It should be understood that the target inner disc temperature represents that the heating capacity value of the air conditioner is in a preset target heating capacity interval corresponding to the target heating capacity value as the heating operation time of the air conditioner is increased under the target inner disc temperature. Fig. 3 shows a heating capacity curve in which the actual inner panel temperature of the air conditioner is controlled to be maintained at the target inner panel temperature when the ambient temperature is 2 ℃ for heating, that is, the heating capacity value of the air conditioner is changed according to the heating operation time when the actual inner panel temperature of the air conditioner is maintained at 43 ℃ in the present embodiment. It can be seen that after the heating capacity value is gradually increased for a period of time, the heating capacity value of the air conditioner is approximately maintained within the preset target heating capacity interval corresponding to the target heating capacity value for another period of time. For example, if the target heating capacity value is set to 8000W, the preset target heating capacity interval corresponding to the target heating capacity value is (8000 ± P) W, where P is set according to actual needs. Thus, the heating capacity value of the air conditioner can be maintained at a high target heating capacity value for a long time, the attenuation of the heating capacity can be effectively reduced, and the energy efficiency can be improved.
Referring to fig. 4, in the present embodiment, the step S200 includes the following sub-steps:
and a substep S210 of determining an operation frequency variation value of a compressor of the air conditioner according to the actual inner disc temperature and the target inner disc temperature when the air conditioner is in a heating mode.
And a substep S220 of calculating a target operating frequency of the compressor according to the current operating frequency and the operating frequency variation value of the compressor.
Wherein the target operating frequency of the compressor is calculated according to the following formula:
F=F0+△F;
wherein F represents the target operating frequency, F0Indicating the current operating frequency and deltaf the operating frequency variation value.
In this embodiment, the current operating frequency of the compressor is detected every 60 s. The maximum frequency of the heating compressor is 100 Hz.
And a substep S230 of controlling the compressor to actually operate at the target operation frequency so that the actual inner disc temperature is maintained at the target inner disc temperature.
It should be understood that, in this embodiment, by controlling the frequency of the compressor, the actual inner disc temperature is maintained at the target inner disc temperature, the control is more accurate, the attenuation of the heating capability can be effectively reduced, and the energy efficiency is improved.

Optionally, the first preset value is-0.5 ℃ and the second preset value is 0.5 ℃. In addition, the actual inner disc temperature is represented by T1, and the target inner disc temperature is represented by T, then in the substep S310, it is judged whether the difference between the actual inner disc temperature and the target inner disc temperature satisfies-0.5 ℃ to-T1-T to-0.5 ℃.

In the substep S330, if the difference between the actual inner disc temperature and the target inner disc temperature is not greater than or equal to the first preset value and is less than or equal to the second preset value, it is determined whether the difference between the actual inner disc temperature and the target inner disc temperature is greater than the second preset value.
