Detailed Description
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a method for detecting filth blockage of a filter screen of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1, the method for detecting filth blockage of a filter screen of an air conditioner in the embodiment includes:
step S102, monitoring the operation mode of the air conditioner from startup to shutdown;
step S104, if the operation mode of the air conditioner in the process from starting to shutting down is kept unchanged, judging whether a filter screen of the air conditioner is dirty and blocked according to the fixed operation mode when the air conditioner is started next time;
and step S106, if the operation mode of the air conditioner is changed from the cooling mode to the heating mode in the process from the startup to the shutdown of the air conditioner, judging whether a filter screen of the air conditioner is dirty or not according to the state of a compressor of the air conditioner before the mode is switched after the mode of the air conditioner is switched.
When the air conditioner is started to operate, the operation mode of the air conditioner can be monitored in real time, and the operation mode is generally a refrigeration mode, a heating mode or a dehumidification mode and the like. In the operation period from the start to the shutdown of the air conditioner, the operation mode of the air conditioner may be kept unchanged, and the operation mode may be switched. The shutdown may refer to a state in which the power of the air conditioner is turned off or a state in which the air conditioner is in a power-on standby state.
In the operation period from the start to the shutdown of the air conditioner, if the operation mode is not changed, for example, the air conditioner is operated in the cooling mode all the time from the start to the shutdown, that is, the air conditioner is operated in a fixed operation mode in the time from the start to the shutdown, the filth blockage condition of the filter screen is judged according to the operation mode of the air conditioner in the last operation time period of the air conditioner when the air conditioner is started next time, that is, whether the filter screen is filth-blocked is judged according to the fixed operation mode when the air conditioner is started next time.
In the operation period from the power-on to the power-off of the air conditioner, if the operation mode is switched, particularly the operation mode is changed from the cooling mode to the heating mode, that is, the air conditioner is operated in the cooling mode after the power-on, and is switched to the heating mode after being operated in the cooling mode for a period of time. Based on the condition that the operation mode changes, after the air conditioner switches the mode, the dirty and blocked condition of the filter screen is judged according to the state of the compressor of the air conditioner before the mode is switched (namely, the state of the compressor during the operation in the cooling mode).
Therefore, according to the method for detecting filth blockage of the filter screen of the air conditioner, by monitoring the change condition of the running mode of the air conditioner in one running period from startup to shutdown, the filth blockage of the filter screen in one mode is detected when the air conditioner is started next time aiming at the condition that the running mode is not changed, and the filth blockage of the filter screen in the other mode is detected after the running mode is switched aiming at the condition that the running mode is switched, the interference of the running mode or artificial mode switching of the last running period of the air conditioner on the filth blockage detection of the filter screen is avoided, and the accuracy of the filth blockage detection of the filter screen is ensured.
In step S104, the step of determining whether the filter screen of the air conditioner is dirty or not according to the fixed operation mode specifically includes:
judging whether the fixed operation mode is a refrigeration mode or not and whether the fixed operation mode is a dehumidification mode or not;
if the fixed operation mode is not the refrigeration mode and is not the dehumidification mode, detecting the current of a fan of an indoor unit of the air conditioner at the current rotating speed when the air conditioner is started next time, obtaining the current value of the fan at the current rotating speed, and judging whether the filter screen is dirty or not according to the current value of the fan;
if the fixed operation mode is a refrigeration mode or a dehumidification mode, recording the time length from the current shutdown to the next startup of the air conditioner, recording the time for the shutdown of the air conditioner, and judging whether the filter screen is dirty and blocked according to the time for the shutdown.
The scheme that whether the filter screen is dirty or not is judged according to the current value of the fan by detecting the current value of the fan exists in the existing scheme, and the principle on which the scheme is based is as follows: in the operation process of the air conditioner, air firstly enters an indoor unit of the air conditioner through a filter screen at an air inlet, then passes through an indoor heat exchanger, exchanges heat with the heat exchanger and then is sent out through a fan. When the filter screen is dirty and blocked, the effective flow area of the filter screen can be reduced, the air inlet area of the air conditioner can be correspondingly reduced, and correspondingly, the air volume can be reduced to a certain degree. For the fans of the same indoor unit, the air volume is the load, the load is large when the air volume is large, the load is small when the air volume is small, and the load is in direct proportion to the current. If the filter screen is dirty stifled, the amount of wind descends, and the fan current value reduces, and when the filter screen is dirty stifled to a certain degree, the fan current value can descend to a certain degree, and the fan current value has certain corresponding relation with the dirty stifled condition of filter screen, and the accessible detects the fan current from this, judges the dirty stifled condition of filter screen according to the fan current value.
However, the inventor of the application finds that, for the air conditioner which judges the filter screen filth blockage situation by detecting the current value of the fan, in the use process of the air conditioner, a user feeds back the filter screen filth blockage reminding and is not completely accurate, when the filter screen filth blockage reminding is received, the user finds that the dust deposition amount of the filter screen is very small when the filter screen is prepared to be cleaned, and the user receives the filter screen filth blockage reminding too frequently, so that the use experience of the user is influenced. The inventor of this application further discovers according to experimental test that condensation on the indoor heat exchanger coil pipe influences fan current value great, and this is because the condensation of indoor heat exchanger coil pipe has reduced the amount of wind through indoor heat exchanger, has increased the windage, has reduced the amount of wind that flows to the fan, has reduced the load of fan, leads to the electric current of fan to reduce. Therefore, the change of the current value of the fan can be influenced by the filthy and blocked filter screen and the condensation of the indoor heat exchanger, namely, the condensation on the indoor heat exchanger can influence the current value of the fan, and if the filter screen is directly judged to be filthy and blocked by the current value of the fan, the interference of the influence factor of the condensation on the indoor heat exchanger on the current value of the fan cannot be avoided.
The generation of condensation on the indoor heat exchanger coil depends on the temperature difference between the evaporator coil and the air, and generally, when the air conditioner operates in a cooling mode or a dehumidifying mode, condensation is generated on the indoor heat exchanger coil. Therefore, in the embodiment, according to the change of the operation mode of the operation period from the shutdown to the startup of the air conditioner, the blockage situation of the filter screen is judged according to the operation situation of the previous operation period of the air conditioner when the air conditioner is started next time, so that the interference of the condensation on the indoor heat exchanger on the current value of the fan is eliminated.
Specifically, for the operation mode of the air conditioner in the last operation cycle (the operation process from the start-up to the shutdown is one operation cycle), it is necessary to perform the following process determination.
If the fixed operation mode is not the refrigeration mode or the dehumidification mode, the indoor heat exchanger coil pipe cannot form condensation, and the change of the current of the fan can accurately reflect the filth blockage condition of the filter screen, so that the current of the fan at the current rotating speed is directly detected when the fan is started next time, and the filter screen is judged to be filth blockage according to the detected current value of the fan, so that the filth blockage condition of the filter screen can be accurately judged, and the filth blockage condition can be timely fed back to a user.
If the operation mode of the air conditioner in the previous operation period is a fixed operation mode, and the fixed operation mode is a refrigeration mode or a dehumidification mode, the time length from the current shutdown of the air conditioner to the next startup of the air conditioner, that is, the shutdown time of the air conditioner, needs to be recorded, and whether the filter screen is dirty or not is judged according to the shutdown time. Specifically, the recorded shutdown time is compared with the preset shutdown time, if the shutdown time is equal to or greater than the preset shutdown time, it is indicated that the shutdown time of the air conditioner is long enough, and in this time period of shutdown, the condensed water on the indoor heat exchanger coil is eliminated (after the air conditioner is shut down, the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger coil is gradually consistent with the room temperature, and the condensed water on the indoor heat exchanger coil is gradually evaporated), so that the current of the fan cannot be affected.
And if the shutdown time of the air conditioner is less than the preset time, the shutdown time of the air conditioner is over short, the condensed water on the coil pipe of the indoor heat exchanger is not enough to be eliminated, the condensed water can interfere with the judgment of the filthy blockage condition of the filter screen, and therefore the condensed water needs to be eliminated firstly when the air conditioner is started again, and the filthy blockage condition of the filter screen is judged according to the current value of the fan. That is to say: if the shutdown time is less than the preset shutdown time, judging the operation mode of the air conditioner when the air conditioner is started next time, and judging whether the filter screen is dirty and blocked according to the operation mode of the air conditioner when the air conditioner is started next time.
The inventor of the application meets the specific duration of eliminating the shutdown time of the condensed water of the indoor heat exchanger through experimental tests, and finds that the condensed water of the indoor heat exchanger is basically eliminated when the shutdown time of the air conditioner is equal to or more than 1 hour through multiple experimental tests, so that the preset time can be 1 hour in the embodiment.
Specifically, if the operation mode of the air conditioner is the cooling mode or the dehumidification mode when the air conditioner is started next time, the fan is firstly controlled to operate for a first preset time at a first preset air speed, the first preset air speed is a high-wind speed, for example, the first preset air speed is 1050-1150 revolutions per minute, the first preset time can be 4-8 minutes, evaporation of condensed water on a coil pipe of the indoor heat exchanger is accelerated by operating the high-wind speed after the air conditioner is started, the influence of the condensed water is eliminated, then the current of the fan at the current rotating speed is detected, the filth blockage condition of the filter screen can be accurately reflected according to the detected current value of the fan at the moment, and the interference of the condensed water of the indoor heat exchanger is avoided.
And if the operation mode of the air conditioner is the heating mode when the air conditioner is started next time, firstly controlling the fan to operate at a second preset air speed, monitoring the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger coil in real time, and detecting the current of the fan at the current rotating speed when the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger coil is equal to or greater than the temperature of the first preset coil. The second preset wind speed is less than the first preset wind speed, and may be a low wind speed, for example, the second preset wind speed is 700 to 850 rpm. Because the air conditioner operates with the mode of heating when this time is started, can eliminate the condensation water more easily, consequently, can control the fan and operate with the low wind, along with the operation of air conditioner, the temperature of indoor heat exchanger coil pipe risees gradually, condensation water on it evaporates gradually, when the coil pipe temperature rises to equal to or be greater than first preset coil pipe temperature, explain that the coil pipe temperature rises to a certain extent, at this moment, condensation water on the coil pipe has basically been eliminated and has finished, detect fan current again this moment, this fan current can accurately reflect the dirty stifled condition of filter screen, avoid the interference of indoor heat exchanger's condensation. Wherein, the value range of the first preset coil temperature can be 35-40 ℃.
However, in the case where the operation mode of the air conditioner changes in the last operation period (the operation process from the power-on to the power-off is one operation period), the following specific determination needs to be performed.
As described above, if the air conditioner is operated in the cooling mode for a certain time and then switched from the cooling mode to the heating mode during the operation period from the start to the shutdown of the air conditioner, the filter screen filth blockage condition should be determined according to the state of the compressor in the cooling mode before the air conditioner is switched. Specifically, whether the compressor is started or not when the air conditioner is operated in a refrigeration mode before being switched to a heating mode is judged, if the compressor is not started, the fact that a refrigerant does not continuously circulate between an indoor unit and an outdoor unit is indicated, the temperature difference of a coil pipe of the indoor heat exchanger is small, the possibility of forming condensed water on the coil pipe is small or less condensed water is formed, based on the situation, when the air conditioner is switched to the heating mode, the fan current can be detected when the fan is started, and the fan current at the moment can directly and accurately reflect the filth blockage condition of the filter screen.
And if the air conditioner is operated in a cooling mode before being switched to a heating mode, the compressor is started and is in normal operation, and a refrigerant is continuously circulated between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit, the temperature difference of the coil pipe of the indoor heat exchanger is large, and more condensed water is formed on the coil pipe, so that when the air conditioner is switched to the heating mode, the fan is required to be firstly controlled to operate at a third preset air speed which can be a weak air speed, for example, the third preset air speed is less than the second preset air speed, for example, the third preset air speed is 700 rpm, so that the fan operates at the weak air, the temperature of the coil pipe of the indoor heat exchanger is monitored in real time, along with the operation of the air conditioner in the heating mode, the temperature of the coil pipe of the indoor heat exchanger gradually rises, the condensed water on the coil pipe is gradually evaporated, and when the temperature of the coil pipe rises to be equal to or more than, the temperature of the coil pipe rises to a certain degree, at the moment, the condensed water on the coil pipe is basically eliminated, at the moment, the current of the fan is detected, the current of the fan can accurately reflect the filth blockage condition of the filter screen, and the interference of the condensed water of the indoor heat exchanger is avoided. The second preset coil temperature may be substantially the same as the first preset coil temperature, for example, the value range of the second preset coil temperature is 35 to 40 ℃.
The step of judging whether the filter screen is dirty or not according to the current value of the fan specifically comprises the following steps: the method comprises the steps of firstly comparing the current value of a fan at the current rotating speed with a preset current value at the same rotating speed, if the current value of the fan is smaller than or equal to the preset current value, indicating that the load of the fan is smaller, reflecting that the air volume entering an indoor unit is smaller, indicating that the filter screen is seriously clogged, and therefore determining that the filter screen needs to be cleaned in time. After the filter screen is judged to be dirty and blocked, the air conditioner can send reminding information for cleaning the filter screen to a user so as to remind the user to clean the filter screen in time and ensure the cleanness and safety of indoor air.
The preset current value is a measured value under a certain condition before the air conditioner leaves a factory. Specifically, the measurement of the preset current value needs to satisfy the following condition: at least two layers of clean filter screens are arranged at an air inlet of an indoor unit of the air conditioner, the current of the fan is measured under the condition that an indoor heat exchanger coil pipe is not condensed, multiple tests are carried out on the fan at each rotating speed, and the average value of the multiple tests is used as the preset current value of the fan at the rotating speed.
When the preset current value is determined, the inventor of the application tests the simulation of a single-layer clean filter screen and a multi-layer (more than two layers) clean filter screen through continuous experiments, and determines the current value determined according to the two layers of clean filter screens as the preset current value.
