Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to an air conditioner and a self-cleaning control method thereof.
Background
When the air conditioner operates in a cooling or heating mode, air in an external environment enters the inside of the machine body along the air inlet, and is blown into the external environment again through the air outlet after heat exchange of the heat exchange plate, in the process, impurities such as dust, large particles and the like mixed in the air can enter the indoor machine along with air inlet flow, although a dustproof filter screen arranged at the air inlet of the air conditioner can filter most of the dust and the particles, a small amount of tiny dust can not be completely blocked and filtered, and the dust can be gradually deposited and attached to the surface of the heat exchange plate along with long-term use of the air conditioner.
Generally, a cleaning method of an air conditioner in the prior art mainly includes two modes of manual cleaning and self cleaning of the air conditioner, wherein the self cleaning mode of the air conditioner is mainly divided into a frost condensation stage and a defrosting stage, wherein, taking an indoor unit of a split air conditioner as an example, in the frost condensation stage, the air conditioner firstly operates in a refrigeration mode, and increases refrigerant output quantity to an indoor heat exchanger, so that moisture in indoor air can be gradually condensed into a frost or ice layer on the outer surface of the heat exchanger, and in the process, the condensed frost layer can be combined with dust, so that the dust is peeled off from the outer surface of the heat exchanger; then, in the defrosting stage, the air conditioner operates in a heating mode to melt the frost layer condensed on the outer surface of the heat exchanger, and dust can be collected into the water receiving tray along with the melted water flow, so that the aim of self-cleaning the indoor unit of the air conditioner can be fulfilled; similarly, when the outdoor unit of the split air conditioner is cleaned, the self-cleaning operation is performed according to a reverse flow to that of the indoor unit, that is, the air conditioner operates the heating mode (the temperature of the outdoor unit is reduced, and the frost is condensed) and then operates the cooling mode (the temperature of the outdoor unit is increased, and the frost is melted).
However, in the existing self-cleaning mode flow, the fan in the frost condensation stage generally stops operating or operates at a set wind speed, and after a large amount of user use data is collected, it is found that the actual frost condensation effect of the fan setting mode in the self-cleaning mode is not good, which affects the cleaning effect of the self-cleaning mode of the air conditioner.

The air conditioner comprises an indoor heat exchanger, an outdoor heat exchanger, a throttling device and a compressor, wherein the indoor heat exchanger, the outdoor heat exchanger, the throttling device and the compressor are connected through refrigerant pipelines to form a refrigerant circulation loop, and refrigerant flows along the set flow directions of different operation modes through the refrigerant circulation loop, so that the functions of heating, refrigerating, self-cleaning and the like are realized.
In an embodiment, the operation modes of the air conditioner comprise a refrigeration mode, a heating mode and a self-cleaning mode, wherein the refrigeration mode is generally applied to a high-temperature working condition in summer and used for reducing the indoor environment temperature; the heating mode is generally applied to the low-temperature working condition in winter and is used for increasing the indoor environment temperature; the self-cleaning mode is generally a user's self-selection function mode or self-starting function, and can automatically clean the heat exchanger under the condition that dust and dirt are accumulated on the heat exchanger.
When the air conditioner operates in a refrigeration mode, the set refrigerant flow direction is that high-temperature refrigerant discharged by the compressor firstly flows through the outdoor heat exchanger to exchange heat with the outdoor environment, then flows into the indoor heat exchanger to exchange heat with the indoor environment, and finally the refrigerant flows back to the compressor to be compressed again; in the process, the refrigerant flowing through the outdoor heat exchanger emits heat to the outdoor environment, the refrigerant flowing through the indoor heat exchanger absorbs heat from the indoor environment, and the indoor heat can be continuously discharged to the outdoor environment through the circulating flow of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circulating loop, so that the refrigeration purpose of reducing the temperature of the indoor environment can be achieved.
The set refrigerant flow direction during the heating mode refers to that the high-temperature refrigerant discharged by the compressor firstly flows through the indoor heat exchanger to exchange heat with the outdoor environment, then flows into the outdoor heat exchanger to exchange heat with the indoor environment, and finally flows back to the compressor to be compressed again; in the process, the refrigerant flowing through the indoor heat exchanger emits heat to the indoor environment, the refrigerant flowing through the outdoor heat exchanger absorbs heat from the outdoor environment, and the outdoor heat can be continuously released to the indoor environment through the circulating flow of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circulating loop, so that the heating purpose of improving the temperature of the indoor environment can be achieved.
Generally, since the indoor heat exchanger is a heat exchanger directly used for changing an indoor temperature environment, the degree of cleanliness of the indoor heat exchanger may directly affect the use experience of a user. Therefore, the main application of the self-cleaning mode of the air conditioner of the present invention is an indoor heat exchanger. Of course, the self-cleaning mode of the air conditioner of the present invention may also be used to clean the outdoor heat exchanger, so in a specific embodiment, when the air conditioner of the present invention performs a cleaning process, only one of the indoor heat exchanger and the outdoor heat exchanger may be cleaned, or both of the indoor heat exchanger and the outdoor heat exchanger may be cleaned. It should be understood that if the existing air conditioner uses the same or similar control method as the present invention to perform the self-cleaning operation of the indoor and outdoor heat exchangers, it should be also included in the protection scope of the present invention.
Taking the self-cleaning process of the indoor heat exchanger as an example, the working process of the air conditioner in the self-cleaning operation mode mainly comprises two stages which are sequentially carried out: the defrosting stage of the indoor heat exchanger and the defrosting stage of the indoor heat exchanger. In the defrosting stage of the indoor heat exchanger, ice can be condensed and frosted on the indoor heat exchanger of the indoor unit; in the defrosting stage of the indoor heat exchanger, the condensed frost of the indoor heat exchanger in the previous defrosting stage is melted, impurities such as dust and the like can be separated from the indoor heat exchanger along with the melted condensed water, and the cleaning treatment of the indoor heat exchanger is completed.
Specifically, in the operation process of the air conditioner in the refrigeration mode, if the power of the compressor is improved and the output quantity of the refrigerant is increased, the low-temperature refrigerant quantity input into the indoor unit can be increased, the redundant refrigerant cold quantity can reduce the internal temperature of the indoor unit, and when the internal temperature of the indoor unit is lower than the frost condensation critical temperature value (such as 0 ℃), water vapor in air flowing through the indoor unit can be gradually condensed into frost in the indoor unit.
In the heating mode operation process of the air conditioner, the high-temperature refrigerant firstly flows through the indoor heat exchanger, so that the cold energy of the high-temperature refrigerant can increase the internal temperature of the indoor unit, and when the internal temperature of the indoor unit is higher than the frost condensation critical temperature value (such as 0 ℃), the frost condensed in the indoor unit can be gradually melted and dripped, so that the frost can be separated from the indoor heat exchanger. The control method of the invention is that under the condition that the flow direction of the refrigerant limited by the heating mode of the air conditioner is controlled at the defrosting stage of the indoor heat exchanger, the defrosting operation of the indoor heat exchanger is realized by adjusting the operation parameters of components such as a compressor, a fan, a throttling device and the like.
Similarly, when the outdoor heat exchanger is self-cleaned, when the air conditioner flows in the refrigerant flow direction defined by the heating mode, the refrigerant flowing out of the indoor heat exchanger is a medium-temperature refrigerant and the refrigerant flowing into the outdoor heat exchanger after being throttled by the throttling device is a low-temperature refrigerant, so that the low-temperature refrigerant can reduce the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger, and when the temperature inside the outdoor unit is lower than the frost condensation critical temperature value (such as 0 ℃), water vapor in the air flowing through the outdoor unit can be gradually condensed into frost inside the outdoor unit. Therefore, the ice and the frost of the outdoor heat exchanger are realized while the ice and the frost of the indoor heat exchanger are melted.
And then, the indoor heat exchanger finishes melting ice and defrosting in the defrosting stage of the indoor heat exchanger, self-cleaning of the indoor heat exchanger is finished, the air conditioner enters the defrosting stage of the outdoor heat exchanger, at the moment, the air conditioner is controlled to flow in the direction of the refrigerant flow defined by the refrigeration mode again, the flow direction of the high-temperature refrigerant discharged by the compressor is changed, and the high-temperature refrigerant flows through the outdoor heat exchanger, so that the ice and defrosting of the outdoor heat exchanger can be realized by utilizing the heat of the high-temperature refrigerant, and the self-cleaning process of the outdoor heat exchanger.
In the self-cleaning process, each stage can be performed according to a preset time length, for example, the defrosting stage of the indoor heat exchanger can be preset to 10min, and the defrosting stage of the indoor heat exchanger can be preset to 12min, so that the air conditioner can start timing after the air conditioner enters the defrosting stage of the indoor heat exchanger in the self-cleaning mode, when the time reaches 10min, the air conditioner enters the defrosting stage of the indoor heat exchanger, the defrosting stage of the indoor heat exchanger lasts for 12min, it can be determined that the self-cleaning of the indoor unit is finished, and the air conditioner exits the self-cleaning mode.
In the process that the air conditioner is switched to the flow direction limited by the cooling mode or the heating mode, the opening/closing and the rotating speed of the fans of the indoor unit and the outdoor unit also need to be correspondingly controlled, for example, the indoor fan in the frost condensation stage of the indoor heat exchanger is generally closed or operated at a low speed, and the outdoor fan is opened for operation; and in the defrosting stage of the indoor heat exchanger, the indoor fan is started to operate, and outdoor air is closed or operated at a low speed. Therefore, the indoor unit and the outdoor unit are respectively timed in the self-cleaning process, and when the preset time is reached, the components such as a fan of the air conditioner and the like are controlled to carry out corresponding state switching.
In the self-cleaning process of the air conditioner, the fan in the frost condensation stage generally stops operating or operates at a set wind speed, and after a large amount of user use data is collected, the actual frost condensation effect of the fan setting mode in the self-cleaning mode is found to be poor, so that the cleaning effect of the self-cleaning mode of the air conditioner is influenced.
Therefore, aiming at the possible problems, the invention provides an air conditioner and a self-cleaning control method thereof, aiming at solving the problem of poor self-cleaning effect caused by the fact that a fan is stopped or is controlled by a fixed rotating speed.
Fig. 1 is a first flowchart illustrating a control method for self-cleaning of an air conditioner according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1, the present invention provides a control method for self-cleaning of an air conditioner, which mainly comprises the following steps:
s101, acquiring the temperature of a coil pipe in a frost condensation stage of a self-cleaning mode of air conditioner operation;
in this embodiment, an indoor unit is mainly used as a cleaning object for example, and a clean heat exchanger in the self-cleaning mode is an indoor heat exchanger, so that a frost condensation stage and a frost removal stage in the self-cleaning process are changes of a water vapor state on the indoor heat exchanger.
In this embodiment, the air conditioner is further provided with an independent temperature sensor, and the temperature sensor is arranged close to the coil of the indoor heat exchanger and can be used for detecting the real-time temperature of the coil of the indoor unit of the air conditioner; the coil temperature obtained in step S101 is the temperature of the coil of the indoor unit detected by the temperature sensor when the self-cleaning process is in the frost condensation stage.
Optionally, the control method of the present application is mainly for achieving a promoting effect of the fan rotation speed adjustment in the frost condensation stage on the frost condensation effect; in the final stage of the self-cleaning mode, because the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is already in a lower temperature state and passes through the frost condensation process in the previous period of the frost condensation stage, the influence of the adjustment of the rotating speed of the fan on the frost condensation effect in the final stage of the frost condensation stage is small, and the adjustment mainly influences the frost condensation effect in the frost condensation process in the previous period of the frost condensation stage; the coil temperature acquired in step S101 may be a coil temperature parameter in a previous period of time except for the last period of the frost formation; for example, the time point of the temperature sensor detecting the coil temperature may be a time point within a previous time period of the frost formation stage, for example, the set time period of the indoor heat exchanger frost formation stage is 10min, then the temperature acquired in step S101 is the temperature data of the temperature sensor within 1-7min, and the 7-10min is the last stage of the previous frost formation stage, so that the temperature detection is not performed during the time period.
Optionally, the time range of the frost formation stage at which the time point of detecting the indoor environment temperature by the temperature sensor is located may be determined according to the initial coil temperature before the air conditioner executes the self-cleaning mode; for example, a correlation between a time range and an initial coil temperature is preset, in the correlation, the time range and the initial coil temperature are in positive correlation, that is, the higher the initial coil temperature is, the larger the proportion of the time range to the total duration of the frost condensation stage is; the lower the initial coil temperature, the smaller the proportion of this time frame to the total duration of the frost phase. Illustratively, when the initial coil temperature is in the temperature range of 15 to 18 ℃, the proportion of the total time length of the defrosting stage of the time range station is 70%, that is, under the condition that the set time length of the defrosting stage is 10min, the detection time point corresponding to the temperature range of 15 to 18 ℃ of the initial coil temperature is 1-7 min; when the initial coil temperature is in the temperature range of 11-13 ℃, the proportion of the time range to the total duration of the frost phase is 40%, namely under the condition that the set duration of the frost phase is 10min, the detection time point corresponding to the temperature range of 11-13 ℃ of the initial coil temperature is 1-4 min. Therefore, under the condition that the temperature of the initial coil is higher, the temperature difference between the frost critical temperature and the initial coil temperature is larger, the time for the indoor heat exchanger to be reduced from the initial coil temperature to the frost critical temperature or even lower temperature is longer, and the influence of the rotating speed adjustment of the fan in the temperature reduction process is obvious, so that the time of the corresponding temperature detection time range is longer; and under the condition that the initial coil temperature is lower, because the temperature difference between the frost critical temperature and the initial coil temperature is smaller, the time for the indoor heat exchanger to be reduced from the initial coil temperature to the frost critical temperature or even lower is shorter, so that the time of the corresponding temperature detection time range is shorter for ensuring the accuracy of the influence of the fan adjustment on the temperature.
S102, adjusting the rotating speed of the fan based on the temperature comparison result of the coil pipe temperature and the frost critical temperature.
The control method for self-cleaning of the air conditioner provided by the invention can adjust the rotating speed of the fan in the frost condensation stage based on the temperature comparison result of the coil pipe temperature and the frost condensation critical temperature, is different from the existing running mode that the fan is stopped or the rotating speed is fixed, and the rotating speed of the fan which is dynamically adjusted can be more matched with the temperature change in the air conditioner, so that the frost condensation rate in the frost condensation stage is accelerated by utilizing the changed rotating speed, the actual frost condensation amount is improved, and the actual cleaning effect of the self-cleaning mode is ensured.
In the embodiment, the fan is provided with at least two wind gears with sequentially increased rotating speeds; here, the wind shield is a wind speed range preset by the air conditioner for the inner fan; for example, the inner fan has a low wind level and a breeze level, and the wind speed of the low wind level is greater than that of the breeze level.
In this way, in step S102, the rotation speed of the fan is adjusted based on the temperature comparison result between the coil temperature and the frost-condensation critical temperature, and the method includes: and when the temperature of the coil pipe is higher than the frost-condensation critical temperature, controlling the fan to operate at a set low wind gear.
For example, the temperature of the inner coil is Toil, the frost critical temperature is Te, and the fan has a set low wind level under the condition that Toil is greater than Te; at this moment, because interior coil pipe temperature is higher than the critical temperature of frost, although the steam in the air can not condense into frost, but begin to be converted into liquid by the gaseous state, the fan can accelerate the inside air flow of indoor set with the operation of low wind-break, and the dew that makes the frost in the indoor set can evenly distributed, guarantees that the frost volume of follow-up frost in-process is even, reduces the appearance of local frost layer too thin, the frost is not enough scheduling problem.
Optionally, in step S102, the rotation speed of the fan is adjusted based on the temperature comparison result between the coil temperature and the frost-condensation critical temperature, and the method further includes: and when the temperature of the coil pipe is less than the frost critical temperature and the temperature difference value between the frost critical temperature and the temperature of the coil pipe is less than a preset temperature difference threshold value, controlling the fan to reduce the rotating speed value corresponding to the low wind gear to a target rotating speed value.
For example, under the condition that Toil < Te and Te-Toil < △ t, the fan is lowered to a target rotating speed value from a set low wind gear, at the moment, because the temperature of the inner coil is lower than the frost-condensation critical temperature but the difference between the two is not large, the water vapor in the air is gradually condensed into frost at a slower condensation speed, the fan operates at the target rotating speed value lower than the low wind gear to reduce the adverse effect of too fast air flow on frost condensation, and the water vapor in the air or condensed water can be ensured to be converted into solid frost from a gas state or a liquid state at the position where the air is currently in contact with an indoor unit component (such as an indoor heat exchanger) for enough condensation time.
Optionally, the target rotation speed value may be a rotation speed value corresponding to a breeze gear; alternatively, the target rotation speed value may be a rotation speed value between a low wind gear and a breeze gear.
Optionally, in step S102, the rotation speed of the fan is adjusted based on the temperature comparison result between the coil temperature and the frost-condensation critical temperature, and the method further includes: and when the temperature difference value between the frost critical temperature and the temperature of the coil pipe is greater than a preset temperature difference threshold value, controlling the fan to operate at a set low wind gear.
For example, when Te-Toil is more than △ t, the fan is lowered again at a set low wind level, at the moment, because the temperature of the inner coil pipe is lower than the frost-condensation critical temperature and the difference between the two is large, the water vapor and the condensed water in the air are fully condensed in the indoor unit, and the cold energy in the indoor unit is considered to come from the indoor heat exchanger, the fan is at the low wind level to accelerate the transmission of the cold energy of the indoor heat exchanger in the air conditioner, so that the temperatures of most parts of the indoor unit are close, and the consistent frost-condensation effect of each part is ensured.
Optionally, the control method of the present invention further includes: acquiring the current indoor temperature of a frosting stage of an air conditioner operation self-cleaning mode; determining a preset temperature difference threshold value based on the current indoor temperature and a preset rule; the preset rule is used for representing the corresponding relation between the current indoor temperature and the temperature difference threshold value.
For example, the preset rule is a corresponding relationship between the current indoor temperature and the temperature difference threshold, and in the corresponding relationship, the current indoor temperature and the temperature difference threshold are in positive correlation; under the condition that the current indoor temperature is higher, because the heat exchange with the indoor environment still exists in the self-cleaning process of the air conditioner, and the heat in the indoor environment enters the indoor unit, the temperature range of the indoor unit for frost condensation at a lower condensation speed needs to be increased, the flowing time of the air flow driven by the indoor unit at a target rotating speed value can be further prolonged, the adverse effect of delaying frost formation caused by the heat exchange between the indoor unit and the indoor environment is reduced, and therefore the temperature difference threshold value can be set to be a larger value; on the contrary, under the condition that the current indoor temperature is smaller, the temperature difference threshold value is set to be a smaller value so as to accelerate the whole process of the frost condensation stage.
After the defrosting stage of the air conditioner self-cleaning mode is completed, the air conditioner self-cleaning mode can be switched to the defrosting stage to continue; the control flow of the defrosting stage of the present invention is referred to the description in the foregoing, and is not repeated herein.
Fig. 2 is a second flowchart illustrating a self-cleaning control method of an air conditioner according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 2, the present invention provides another control method for self-cleaning of an air conditioner, which mainly comprises the following steps:
s201, acquiring the temperature of a coil pipe in a frost condensation stage of an air conditioner operation self-cleaning mode;
in this embodiment, the specific execution flow of step S201 may refer to step S101 in the foregoing, which is not described herein again.
S202, adjusting the rotating speed of the fan based on the temperature comparison result of the coil pipe temperature and the frost critical temperature; wherein the rate of adjustment of the rotational speed is determined based on the temperature comparison.
The control method for self-cleaning of the air conditioner provided by the invention can adjust the rotating speed of the fan in the frost condensation stage based on the temperature comparison result of the coil pipe temperature and the frost condensation critical temperature, is different from the existing running mode that the fan is stopped or the rotating speed is fixed, and the rotating speed of the fan which is dynamically adjusted can be more matched with the temperature change in the air conditioner, so that the frost condensation rate in the frost condensation stage is accelerated by utilizing the changed rotating speed, the actual frost condensation amount is improved, and the actual cleaning effect of the self-cleaning mode is ensured.
In the embodiment, the fan is provided with at least two wind gears with sequentially increased rotating speeds; here, the wind shield is a wind speed range preset by the air conditioner for the inner fan; for example, the inner fan has a low wind level and a breeze level, and the wind speed of the low wind level is greater than that of the breeze level.
In this way, in step S202, based on the result of comparing the coil temperature with the frost critical temperature, the rotation speed of the fan is adjusted, including: and when the temperature of the coil pipe is higher than the frost-condensation critical temperature, controlling the fan to operate at a set low wind gear.
For example, the temperature of the inner coil is Toil, the frost critical temperature is Te, and the fan has a set low wind level under the condition that Toil is greater than Te; at this moment, because interior coil pipe temperature is higher than the critical temperature of frost, although the steam in the air can not condense into frost, but begin to be converted into liquid by the gaseous state, the fan can accelerate the inside air flow of indoor set with the operation of low wind-break, and the dew that makes the frost in the indoor set can evenly distributed, guarantees that the frost volume of follow-up frost in-process is even, reduces the appearance of local frost layer too thin, the frost is not enough scheduling problem.
Optionally, in step S202, based on the result of comparing the coil temperature with the frost critical temperature, the method adjusts the rotation speed of the fan, and further includes: when the temperature of the coil pipe is lower than the frost critical temperature and the temperature difference value between the frost critical temperature and the temperature of the coil pipe is lower than a preset temperature difference threshold value, controlling the fan to reduce the rotating speed value corresponding to the low wind gear to a first target rotating speed value;
for example, in the case of Toil < Te and Te-Toil < △ t, the fan is lowered from a set low wind level to a first target rotation speed value, at this time, because the temperature of the inner coil is lower than the frost-condensation critical temperature but the difference between the two is not large, the water vapor in the air is gradually condensed into frost at a slower condensation speed, and the fan is operated at the first target rotation speed value lower than the low wind level to reduce the adverse effect of too fast air flow on frost condensation, thereby ensuring that the water vapor in the air or the condensed water can be converted into solid frost from gas state or liquid state at the position currently in contact with the indoor unit component (such as the indoor heat exchanger) for enough condensation time.
Optionally, the first target rotation speed value may be a rotation speed value corresponding to a breeze gear; alternatively, the target rotation speed value may be a rotation speed value between a low wind gear and a breeze gear.
The fan is reduced from the rotation speed value corresponding to the low wind gear to the first target rotation speed value at a first regulation rate, namely, when the temperature comparison result is Toil < Te and Te-Toil < △ t, the regulation rate of the fan is the first regulation rate, and optionally, the first regulation rate is 20 revolutions per minute, namely, the fan is reduced from the rotation speed value corresponding to the low wind gear to the first target rotation speed value at the rate of 20 revolutions per minute.
Here, the low wind gear and the first target rotating speed value are switched at the first adjusting speed, so that the stability of rotating speed switching can be improved, and the stable operation of the fan is ensured; meanwhile, the stable switching of the rotating speed can also enable airflow in the indoor unit to flow stably, and the problems of turbulence and the like caused by the switching of the wind speed are reduced.
Optionally, in step S202, based on the result of comparing the coil temperature with the frost critical temperature, the method adjusts the rotation speed of the fan, and further includes: and when the temperature difference value between the frost critical temperature and the coil pipe temperature is greater than a preset temperature difference threshold value, controlling the fan to reduce the rotating speed value corresponding to the low wind gear to a second target rotating speed value.
For example, when Te-Toil is more than △ t, the fan is reduced to a second target rotating speed value from a set low wind gear, at the moment, because the temperature of the inner coil pipe is lower than the frost-condensation critical temperature and the difference between the two is large, water vapor in the air is gradually condensed into frost at a fast condensing speed, the running power consumption of the fan can be reduced when the fan runs at the second target rotating speed value lower than the low wind gear, the further condensation of the frost is realized by utilizing the transfer of heat among various solid components of the indoor unit, and the frost-condensation effect is ensured.
Here, the second target rotation speed value is smaller than the first target rotation speed value; when the first target rotation speed value is a wind speed value between a low wind gear and a breeze gear, the second target rotation speed value can be a rotation speed value corresponding to the breeze gear; alternatively, the target rotation speed value may be a rotation speed value between a low wind gear and a breeze gear. And when the first target rotating speed value is the rotating speed value corresponding to the breeze gear, the second target rotating speed value is a rotating speed value lower than the rotating speed value corresponding to the breeze gear.
If the comparison result that the temperature difference value between the frost critical temperature and the coil temperature is greater than the preset temperature difference threshold value is obtained, the fan is at the first target rotation speed value, step S202 in this embodiment is to control the fan to decrease from the first target rotation speed value to the second target rotation speed value.
The fan is reduced from the rotating speed value corresponding to the low wind gear to the first target rotating speed value at a second regulating rate, namely, when the temperature comparison result is that Te-Toil is more than △ t, the regulating rate of the fan is the second regulating rate, the first regulating rate is greater than the second regulating rate, and optionally, the second regulating rate is 20 revolutions per minute, namely, the fan is reduced from the rotating speed value corresponding to the low wind gear to the second target rotating speed value at the rate of 20 revolutions per minute.
Here, the low wind gear and the second target rotating speed value are switched at the second adjusting speed, so that the stability of rotating speed switching can be improved, and the stable operation of the fan is ensured; meanwhile, the stable switching of the rotating speed can also enable airflow in the indoor unit to flow stably, and the problems of turbulence and the like caused by the switching of the wind speed are reduced.
Optionally, the control method of the present invention further includes: acquiring the current indoor temperature of a frosting stage of an air conditioner operation self-cleaning mode; determining a preset temperature difference threshold value based on the current indoor temperature and a preset rule; the preset rule is used for representing the corresponding relation between the current indoor temperature and the temperature difference threshold value.
For example, the preset rule is a corresponding relationship between the current indoor temperature and the temperature difference threshold, and in the corresponding relationship, the current indoor temperature and the temperature difference threshold are in positive correlation; under the condition that the current indoor temperature is higher, because the heat exchange with the indoor environment still exists in the self-cleaning process of the air conditioner, and the heat in the indoor environment enters the indoor unit, the temperature range of the indoor unit for frost condensation at a lower condensation speed needs to be increased, the flowing time of the air flow driven by the indoor unit at a target rotating speed value can be further prolonged, the adverse effect of delaying frost formation caused by the heat exchange between the indoor unit and the indoor environment is reduced, and therefore the temperature difference threshold value can be set to be a larger value; on the contrary, under the condition that the current indoor temperature is smaller, the temperature difference threshold value is set to be a smaller value so as to accelerate the whole process of the frost condensation stage.
After the defrosting stage of the air conditioner self-cleaning mode is completed, the air conditioner self-cleaning mode can be switched to the defrosting stage to continue; the control flow of the defrosting stage of the present invention is referred to the description in the foregoing, and is not repeated herein.
Fig. 3 is a third flowchart illustrating a control method for self-cleaning of an air conditioner according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 3, the present invention provides another control method for self-cleaning of an air conditioner, which mainly comprises the following steps:
s301, acquiring the temperature of a coil pipe in a frost condensation stage of a self-cleaning mode of air conditioner operation;
in this embodiment, the specific execution flow of step S301 may refer to step S101 in the foregoing, which is not described herein again.
S302, adjusting the rotating speed of the fan based on the temperature comparison result of the coil temperature and the frost critical temperature, and determining the compensation amount of the rotating speed according to the variation of the coil temperature.
The control method for self-cleaning of the air conditioner provided by the invention can adjust the rotating speed of the fan in the frost-condensation stage based on the temperature comparison result of the coil temperature and the frost-condensation critical temperature, and compensate the rotating speed of the fan according to the change condition of the coil temperature.
In the embodiment, the fan is provided with at least two wind gears with sequentially increased rotating speeds; here, the wind shield is a wind speed range preset by the air conditioner for the inner fan; for example, the inner fan has a low wind level and a breeze level, and the wind speed of the low wind level is greater than that of the breeze level.
Thus, in step S302, the adjusting the rotation speed of the fan based on the temperature comparison result between the coil temperature and the frost-condensation critical temperature includes: and when the temperature of the coil pipe is higher than the frost-condensation critical temperature, controlling the fan to operate at a set low wind gear.
For example, the temperature of the inner coil is Toil, the frost critical temperature is Te, and the fan has a set low wind level under the condition that Toil is greater than Te; at this moment, because interior coil pipe temperature is higher than the critical temperature of frost, although the steam in the air can not condense into frost, but begin to be converted into liquid by the gaseous state, the fan can accelerate the inside air flow of indoor set with the operation of low wind-break, and the dew that makes the frost in the indoor set can evenly distributed, guarantees that the frost volume of follow-up frost in-process is even, reduces the appearance of local frost layer too thin, the frost is not enough scheduling problem.
Optionally, in step S302, the rotation speed of the fan is adjusted based on the temperature comparison result between the coil temperature and the frost-condensation critical temperature, and the method further includes: when the temperature of the coil pipe is lower than the frost critical temperature and the temperature difference value between the frost critical temperature and the temperature of the coil pipe is lower than a preset temperature difference threshold value, controlling the fan to reduce the rotating speed value corresponding to the low wind gear to a first target rotating speed value;
for example, in the case of Toil < Te and Te-Toil < △ t, the fan is lowered from a set low wind level to a first target rotation speed value, at this time, because the temperature of the inner coil is lower than the frost-condensation critical temperature but the difference between the two is not large, the water vapor in the air is gradually condensed into frost at a slower condensation speed, and the fan is operated at the first target rotation speed value lower than the low wind level to reduce the adverse effect of too fast air flow on frost condensation, thereby ensuring that the water vapor in the air or the condensed water can be converted into solid frost from gas state or liquid state at the position currently in contact with the indoor unit component (such as the indoor heat exchanger) for enough condensation time.
Optionally, the first target rotation speed value may be a rotation speed value corresponding to a breeze gear; alternatively, the target rotation speed value may be a rotation speed value between a low wind gear and a breeze gear.
Here, in the case of Toil < Te and Te-Toil < △ t, the first compensation amount for the fan speed is also determined based on the amount of change in the coil temperature.
Specifically, the air conditioner is preset with a corresponding relation between the variation of the coil temperature and the compensation amount of the fan rotation speed, and illustratively, when the coil temperature decreases by a ℃, the compensation amount corresponding to the rotation speed that decreases by a ℃ is R1; for example, the rotational speed is compensated by-20 revolutions for each 0.5 ℃ decrease in coil temperature.
In this embodiment, the compensation of the fan rotation speed is performed by using a first target rotation speed value as a reference rotation speed, the coil temperature is determined to be a coil temperature when the coil temperature is determined to be in the state of Toil < Te and Te-Toil < △ t for the first time, for example, when the coil temperature is determined to be in the state of Toil < Te and Te-Toil < △ t for the first time, the coil temperature is-3 ℃, the first target rotation speed value is 200r/min, the coil temperature is repeatedly detected for many times, and when the detected coil temperature is-5 ℃, the compensation amount of the rotation speed can be further calculated and determined to be-20 x 4-80, and the rotation speed of the fan is adjusted to 120r/min from 200 r/min.
The compensation adjustment of the fan rotating speed can enable the rotating speed of the fan to be more adaptive to the current frosting condition, and is beneficial to accelerating the condensation speed of frost on the indoor unit.
Optionally, in step S302, the rotation speed of the fan is adjusted based on the temperature comparison result between the coil temperature and the frost-condensation critical temperature, and the method further includes: and when the temperature difference value between the frost critical temperature and the coil pipe temperature is greater than a preset temperature difference threshold value, controlling the fan to reduce the rotating speed value corresponding to the low wind gear to a second target rotating speed value.
For example, when Te-Toil is more than △ t, the fan is reduced to a second target rotating speed value from a set low wind gear, at the moment, because the temperature of the inner coil pipe is lower than the frost-condensation critical temperature and the difference between the two is large, water vapor in the air is gradually condensed into frost at a fast condensing speed, the running power consumption of the fan can be reduced when the fan runs at the second target rotating speed value lower than the low wind gear, the further condensation of the frost is realized by utilizing the transfer of heat among various solid components of the indoor unit, and the frost-condensation effect is ensured.
Here, the second target rotation speed value is smaller than the first target rotation speed value; when the first target rotation speed value is a wind speed value between a low wind gear and a breeze gear, the second target rotation speed value can be a rotation speed value corresponding to the breeze gear; alternatively, the target rotation speed value may be a rotation speed value between a low wind gear and a breeze gear. And when the first target rotating speed value is the rotating speed value corresponding to the breeze gear, the second target rotating speed value is a rotating speed value lower than the rotating speed value corresponding to the breeze gear.
If the comparison result that the temperature difference value between the frost critical temperature and the coil temperature is greater than the preset temperature difference threshold is obtained, the fan is at the first target rotation speed value, step S302 in this embodiment is to control the fan to decrease from the first target rotation speed value to the second target rotation speed value.
Here, in the case of Te-Toil > △ t, a second compensation amount for the fan speed is also determined according to the amount of change in the coil temperature.
Specifically, the air conditioner is preset with a corresponding relation between the variation of the coil temperature and the compensation amount of the fan rotation speed, and illustratively, when the coil temperature decreases by B ℃, the compensation amount corresponding to the rotation speed that decreases by B ℃ is R2; for example, the rotational speed is compensated by-10 revolutions for each 0.5 ℃ decrease in coil temperature.
In this embodiment, the compensation of the fan rotation speed is performed by using the second target rotation speed value as the reference rotation speed, and the coil temperature is determined to be the coil temperature when Te-Toil > △ t is satisfied for the first time, for example, when Te-Toil > △ t is satisfied for the first time, the coil temperature is-8 ℃, and the second target rotation speed value is 150r/min, the coil temperature is repeatedly detected for many times, and when the detected coil temperature is-9.5 ℃, the compensation amount of the rotation speed can be further calculated to be-20 × 3-60, and the rotation speed of the fan is adjusted from 150r/min to 90 r/min.
Here, the second compensation amount of the rotation speed is associated with the variation amount of the coil temperature; the second target rotating speed value is smaller than the first target rotating speed value, and the second compensation amount is smaller than the first compensation amount.
Optionally, the control method of the present invention further includes: acquiring the current indoor temperature of a frosting stage of an air conditioner operation self-cleaning mode; determining a preset temperature difference threshold value based on the current indoor temperature and a preset rule; the preset rule is used for representing the corresponding relation between the current indoor temperature and the temperature difference threshold value.
For example, the preset rule is a corresponding relationship between the current indoor temperature and the temperature difference threshold, and in the corresponding relationship, the current indoor temperature and the temperature difference threshold are in positive correlation; under the condition that the current indoor temperature is higher, because the heat exchange with the indoor environment still exists in the self-cleaning process of the air conditioner, and the heat in the indoor environment enters the indoor unit, the temperature range of the indoor unit for frost condensation at a lower condensation speed needs to be increased, the flowing time of the air flow driven by the indoor unit at a target rotating speed value can be further prolonged, the adverse effect of delaying frost formation caused by the heat exchange between the indoor unit and the indoor environment is reduced, and therefore the temperature difference threshold value can be set to be a larger value; on the contrary, under the condition that the current indoor temperature is smaller, the temperature difference threshold value is set to be a smaller value so as to accelerate the whole process of the frost condensation stage.
After the defrosting stage of the air conditioner self-cleaning mode is completed, the air conditioner self-cleaning mode can be switched to the defrosting stage to continue; the control flow of the defrosting stage of the present invention is referred to the description in the foregoing, and is not repeated herein.
Fig. 4 is a fourth flowchart illustrating a control method of self-cleaning of an air conditioner according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 4, the present invention provides another control method for self-cleaning of an air conditioner, which mainly comprises the following steps:
s401, acquiring the temperature of a coil pipe in a frost condensation stage of a self-cleaning mode of air conditioner operation;
in this embodiment, the specific execution flow of step S401 may refer to step S101 in the foregoing, and is not described herein again.
S402, adjusting the rotating speed of the fan based on the temperature comparison result of the coil temperature and the frost critical temperature and the variation of the coil temperature; and the compensation amount of the rotating speed is determined according to the variation of the temperature of the coil.
The control method for self-cleaning of the air conditioner provided by the invention can adjust the rotating speed of the fan in the frost condensation stage based on the temperature comparison result of the coil temperature and the frost condensation critical temperature and the variation of the coil temperature, is different from the existing running mode that the fan is stopped or the rotating speed is fixed, and the rotating speed of the fan which is dynamically adjusted can be more matched with the temperature variation in the air conditioner, so that the frost condensation rate in the frost condensation stage is accelerated by utilizing the varied rotating speed, the actual frost condensation amount is improved, and the actual cleaning effect of the self-cleaning mode is ensured.
In the embodiment, the fan is provided with at least two wind gears with sequentially increased rotating speeds; here, the wind shield is a wind speed range preset by the air conditioner for the inner fan; for example, the inner fan has a low wind level and a breeze level, and the wind speed of the low wind level is greater than that of the breeze level.
Here, the adjusting the rotation speed of the fan based on the temperature comparison result between the coil temperature and the frost critical temperature and the variation amount of the coil temperature in step S402 includes: and when the temperature of the coil pipe is higher than the frost-condensation critical temperature, controlling the fan to operate at a set low wind gear.
For example, the coil temperature is Toil, the frost critical temperature is Te, and when Toil is greater than Te, the fan is set to have a low wind level; at this moment, because the coil pipe temperature is higher than the critical temperature of frost, although the steam in the air can not condense into frost, but begin to be converted into liquid by the gaseous state, the fan moves with low wind-break and can accelerate the inside air flow of indoor set, and the dew that makes the frost in the indoor set can evenly distributed, guarantees that the frost volume of follow-up frost in-process is even, reduces the appearance of local frost layer too thin, the frost of congealing insufficient scheduling problem.
Optionally, in step S402, the rotation speed of the fan is adjusted based on the temperature comparison result between the coil temperature and the frost-condensation critical temperature and the variation of the coil temperature, and the method further includes: when the temperature of the coil pipe is smaller than the frost condensation critical temperature, the temperature difference value between the frost condensation critical temperature and the temperature of the coil pipe is smaller than a preset temperature difference threshold value, and the variation of the temperature of the coil pipe is smaller than a preset variation threshold value, controlling the fan to reduce the rotating speed value corresponding to the low wind gear to a first target rotating speed value;
for example, in the case of Toil < Te, Te-Toil < △ T, and △ Toil (variation of coil temperature) < △ T (variation threshold), the fan is lowered from a set low wind level to a first target speed, at this time, since the temperature of the inner coil is lower than the frost critical temperature, but the difference between the two is not large, and the variation of the coil temperature is smaller than the preset variation threshold, the moisture in the air is gradually condensed into frost at a slower condensation speed, and the fan is operated at the first target speed lower than the low wind level to reduce the adverse effect of too fast air flow on frost condensation, so as to ensure that the moisture or condensed water in the air can be converted from a gas state or a liquid state into solid state frost at the current contact position with the indoor unit component (such as an indoor heat exchanger) for a sufficient condensation time.
Optionally, the first target rotation speed value may be a rotation speed value corresponding to a breeze gear; alternatively, the target rotation speed value may be a rotation speed value between a low wind gear and a breeze gear.
Here, when the temperature is Toil < Te, Te-Toil < △ T and △ Toil (variation of coil temperature) < △ T (variation threshold), the first compensation amount for the fan speed is determined according to the variation (△ Toil) of the coil temperature.
Specifically, the air conditioner is preset with a corresponding relation between the variation of the coil temperature and the compensation amount of the fan rotation speed, and illustratively, when the coil temperature decreases by a ℃, the compensation amount corresponding to the rotation speed that decreases by a ℃ is R1; for example, the rotational speed is compensated by-20 revolutions for each 0.5 ℃ decrease in coil temperature.
In this embodiment, the compensation of the fan speed is performed by using a first target speed value as a reference speed, the coil temperature is determined to be at the time of the first determination that the coil temperature is at the time of Toil < Te and Te-Toil < △ t, for example, when the coil temperature is at the time of the first determination that the coil temperature is at-3 ℃ and Te-Toil < △ t, the first target speed value is 200r/min, the coil temperature is repeatedly detected for a plurality of times, when the detected coil temperature is at-5 ℃, the △ Toil is 2 ℃, the compensation amount of the speed is-20 × 4-80, and the fan speed is adjusted from 200r/min to 120 r/min.
The compensation adjustment of the fan rotating speed can enable the rotating speed of the fan to be more adaptive to the current frosting condition, and is beneficial to accelerating the condensation speed of frost on the indoor unit.
Optionally, in step S402, the rotation speed of the fan is adjusted based on the temperature comparison result between the coil temperature and the frost-condensation critical temperature and the variation of the coil temperature, and the method further includes: when the temperature difference value between the frost critical temperature and the coil pipe temperature is larger than a preset temperature difference threshold value and the variation of the coil pipe temperature is larger than a preset variation threshold value, controlling the fan to reduce the rotating speed value corresponding to the low wind gear to a second target rotating speed value;
for example, when Te-Toil is more than △ T, and △ Toil (variation of coil temperature) > △ T (variation threshold), the fan is reduced to a second target rotation speed value from a set low wind gear, at this time, because the temperature of the inner coil is lower than the frost critical temperature, the difference between the two is large, and the variation of the coil temperature is greater than the preset variation threshold, the water vapor in the air is gradually condensed into frost at a faster condensation speed, the running power consumption of the fan can be reduced by running the fan at the second target rotation speed value lower than the low wind gear, the further condensation of the frost is realized by utilizing the transfer of heat among various solid components of the indoor unit, and the frost condensation effect is ensured.
Here, the second target rotation speed value is smaller than the first target rotation speed value; when the first target rotation speed value is a wind speed value between a low wind gear and a breeze gear, the second target rotation speed value can be a rotation speed value corresponding to the breeze gear; alternatively, the target rotation speed value may be a rotation speed value between a low wind gear and a breeze gear. And when the first target rotating speed value is the rotating speed value corresponding to the breeze gear, the second target rotating speed value is a rotating speed value lower than the rotating speed value corresponding to the breeze gear.
If the comparison result that the temperature difference value between the frost critical temperature and the coil temperature is greater than the preset temperature difference threshold value is obtained, the fan is at the first target rotation speed value, step S402 in this embodiment is to control the fan to decrease from the first target rotation speed value to the second target rotation speed value.
Here, in the case of Te-Toil > △ T and △ Toil > △ T, a second compensation amount for the fan speed is determined according to the amount of change in the coil temperature.
Specifically, the air conditioner is preset with a corresponding relation between the variation of the coil temperature and the compensation amount of the fan rotation speed, and illustratively, when the coil temperature decreases by B ℃, the compensation amount corresponding to the rotation speed that decreases by B ℃ is R2; for example, the rotational speed is compensated by-10 revolutions for each 0.5 ℃ decrease in coil temperature.
In this embodiment, the compensation of the fan rotation speed is performed by using the second target rotation speed value as the reference rotation speed, and the coil temperature is determined to be the coil temperature when Te-Toil > △ t is satisfied for the first time, for example, when Te-Toil > △ t is satisfied for the first time, the coil temperature is-8 ℃, and the second target rotation speed value is 150r/min, the coil temperature is repeatedly detected for many times, and when the detected coil temperature is-9.5 ℃, the compensation amount of the rotation speed can be further calculated to be-20 × 3-60, and the rotation speed of the fan is adjusted from 150r/min to 90 r/min.
Here, the second compensation amount of the rotation speed is associated with the variation amount of the coil temperature; the second target rotating speed is less than the first target rotating speed, and the second compensation amount is less than the first compensation amount.
Optionally, the control method of the present invention further includes: acquiring the current indoor temperature of a frosting stage of an air conditioner operation self-cleaning mode; determining a preset temperature difference threshold value based on the current indoor temperature and a preset rule; the preset rule is used for representing the corresponding relation between the current indoor temperature and the temperature difference threshold value.
For example, the preset rule is a corresponding relationship between the current indoor temperature and the temperature difference threshold, and in the corresponding relationship, the current indoor temperature and the temperature difference threshold are in positive correlation; under the condition that the current indoor temperature is higher, because the heat exchange with the indoor environment still exists in the self-cleaning process of the air conditioner, and the heat in the indoor environment enters the indoor unit, the temperature range of the indoor unit for frost condensation at a lower condensation speed needs to be increased, the flowing time of the air flow driven by the indoor unit at a target rotating speed value can be further prolonged, the adverse effect of delaying frost formation caused by the heat exchange between the indoor unit and the indoor environment is reduced, and therefore the temperature difference threshold value can be set to be a larger value; on the contrary, under the condition that the current indoor temperature is smaller, the temperature difference threshold value is set to be a smaller value so as to accelerate the whole process of the frost condensation stage.
After the defrosting stage of the air conditioner self-cleaning mode is completed, the air conditioner self-cleaning mode can be switched to the defrosting stage to continue; the control flow of the defrosting stage of the present invention is referred to the description in the foregoing, and is not repeated herein.
Fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a control method of self-cleaning of an air conditioner according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 5, the present invention provides another control method for self-cleaning of an air conditioner, which mainly comprises the following steps:
s501, obtaining fan current of a frost condensation stage of an air conditioner operation self-cleaning mode;
in the embodiment, an indoor unit is mainly used as a cleaning object for illustration, and a clean heat exchanger in a self-cleaning mode is an indoor heat exchanger, so that a frost condensation stage and a frost removal stage in a self-cleaning process are changes of water vapor states on the indoor heat exchanger; the fan current obtained in step S501 is also an operating current of an inner fan for conveying airflow to the indoor heat exchanger;
in this embodiment, the control process is mainly controlled by components such as a controller, a computer board, and an MCU provided in the air conditioner, and the power supply circuit of the inner fan is electrically connected to these components, so that these components can obtain related operating parameters such as the fan current of the inner fan.
The principle of the invention is that in the process of the air conditioner executing the frost condensation stage of the self-cleaning mode, as the frost is gradually condensed on the indoor heat exchanger and other components, the frost layer can play a certain wind resistance effect, and for the fan for conveying air, when the wind resistance of the indoor unit is increased, the actual running current of the fan is larger than the situation of no wind resistance or small wind resistance in order to maintain the stable rotating speed of the fan. Therefore, the invention can further judge the frost condensation condition in the frost condensation stage in the indoor unit according to the current change of the fan, and further adjust the rotating speed of the fan so as to further promote the frost condensation process by utilizing the adjusted fan.
Optionally, the control method of the present application is mainly for achieving a promoting effect of the fan rotation speed adjustment in the frost condensation stage on the frost condensation effect; in the final stage of the self-cleaning mode, because the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is already in a lower temperature state and passes through the frost condensation process in the previous period of the frost condensation stage, the influence of the adjustment of the rotating speed of the fan on the frost condensation effect in the final stage of the frost condensation stage is small, and the wind resistance variation is small, which mainly influences the frost condensation effect in the frost condensation process in the previous period of the frost condensation stage; the fan current acquired in step S501 may be a current parameter in a previous period of time except for the last period of the frost formation; for example, the time point of acquiring the fan current may be a time point within a previous time period of the frost formation stage, for example, the set time period of the indoor heat exchanger frost formation stage is 10min, the fan current acquired in step S101 is current data within 1-7min, and 7-10min is the last stage of the previous frost formation stage, so that the current data is not detected and acquired in this time period.
Optionally, the time range of the time point of obtaining the current of the fan in the frost condensation stage may be determined according to the initial coil temperature before the air conditioner executes the self-cleaning mode; for example, a correlation between a time range and an initial coil temperature is preset, in the correlation, the time range and the initial coil temperature are in positive correlation, that is, the higher the initial coil temperature is, the larger the proportion of the time range to the total duration of the frost condensation stage is; the lower the initial coil temperature, the smaller the proportion of this time frame to the total duration of the frost phase. Illustratively, when the initial coil temperature is in a temperature range of 15 to 18 ℃, the proportion of the time range to the total time length of the defrosting stage is 70%, that is, under the condition that the set time length of the defrosting stage is 10min, the detection time point corresponding to the temperature range of 15 to 18 ℃ of the initial coil temperature is 1-7 min; when the initial coil temperature is in the temperature range of 11-13 ℃, the proportion of the time range to the total duration of the frost phase is 40%, namely under the condition that the set duration of the frost phase is 10min, the detection time point corresponding to the temperature range of 11-13 ℃ of the initial coil temperature is 1-4 min. Therefore, under the condition that the initial coil temperature is higher, the temperature difference between the frost critical temperature and the initial coil temperature is larger, the time for the indoor heat exchanger to be reduced from the initial coil temperature to the frost critical temperature or even lower temperature is longer, and the influence of the rotating speed adjustment of the fan on the temperature reduction process is obvious, so that the time range for obtaining the operation by the corresponding fan current detection is longer; and under the condition that the initial coil temperature is lower, because the temperature difference between the frost critical temperature and the initial coil temperature is smaller, the time for the indoor heat exchanger to be reduced from the initial coil temperature to the frost critical temperature or even lower is shorter, so that the time for detecting and acquiring the time range of operation of the corresponding fan current is shorter for ensuring the accuracy of the influence of the fan adjustment on the temperature.
And S502, adjusting the rotating speed of the fan based on the comparison result of the fan current and the fan reference current.
Here, the fan reference current is an operating current of the fan when the indoor unit is not frosted. Optionally, the working current is the working current of the fan after the air conditioner meets the trigger condition of the self-cleaning mode and before the self-cleaning mode is executed.
The control method for self-cleaning of the air conditioner provided by the invention can adjust the rotating speed of the fan in the frost condensation stage based on the comparison result of the fan current and the fan reference current, is different from the existing running mode that the fan is stopped or the rotating speed is fixed, and the rotating speed of the fan which is dynamically adjusted can be more matched with the temperature change in the air conditioner, so that the frost condensation rate in the frost condensation stage is accelerated by utilizing the changed rotating speed, the actual frost condensation amount is improved, and the actual cleaning effect of the self-cleaning mode is ensured.
In the embodiment, the fan is provided with at least two wind gears with sequentially increased rotating speeds; here, the wind shield is a wind speed range preset by the air conditioner for the inner fan; for example, the inner fan has a low wind level and a breeze level, and the wind speed of the low wind level is greater than that of the breeze level.
In this way, in step S502, based on the comparison result between the fan current and the fan reference current, the adjusting of the rotation speed of the fan includes: and when the current of the fan is equal to the reference current of the fan, controlling the fan to operate at a set low wind gear.
For example, if the fan current is I and the fan reference current is Ie, the fan is set to a low wind level if I is equal to Ie; at this moment, because the fan current equals fan reference current, it indicates that there is no wind resistance or the wind resistance is minimum temporarily in the indoor set this moment, and the steam in the air is temporarily not condensed into frost in the indoor set, but begins to be converted into liquid by the gaseous state, and the fan moves with low wind-speed gear and can accelerate the inside air flow of indoor set, makes the dew of frost in the indoor set evenly distributed, guarantees that the frost volume of follow-up frost in-process is even, reduces the appearance of local frost layer is too thin, the frost is not enough scheduling problem.
Optionally, in step S502, based on a comparison result between the fan current and the fan reference current, adjusting the rotation speed of the fan further includes: and when the current of the fan is larger than the reference current of the fan, controlling the fan to reduce the rotating speed value corresponding to the low wind gear to the target rotating speed value.
For example, when I > Ie, the fan is reduced to the target rotating speed value from the set low wind gear; at the moment, because the current of the fan is greater than the reference current of the fan, the condition that the wind speed generated by frost condensation exists in the indoor unit can be judged, the water vapor in the air is gradually condensed into the frost, the fan operates at a target rotating speed value lower than a low wind gear to reduce the adverse effect of too fast air flow on the frost condensation, and the water vapor in the air or condensed condensate water can be ensured to have enough condensation time to be converted into solid frost from a gas state or a liquid state at the current position in contact with the indoor unit component (such as an indoor heat exchanger).
Optionally, the target rotation speed value may be a rotation speed value corresponding to a breeze gear; alternatively, the target rotation speed value may be a rotation speed value between a low wind gear and a breeze gear.
Optionally, in step S502, based on a comparison result between the fan current and the fan reference current, adjusting the rotation speed of the fan further includes: and when the current difference value between the current of the fan and the reference current of the fan is larger than the current difference threshold value, controlling the fan to operate at a set low wind gear.
For example, when I-Ie is larger than △ I, the fan is lowered again at a set low wind level, at this time, because the current of the fan is larger than the reference current of the fan and the difference between the two is large, the water vapor and the condensed water in the air are fully condensed in the indoor unit, and considering that the cold energy in the indoor unit is from the indoor heat exchanger, the fan is at the low wind level to accelerate the transmission of the cold energy of the indoor heat exchanger in the air conditioner, so that the temperatures of most parts of the indoor unit are similar, and the consistent frost effect of each part is ensured.
Optionally, the control method of the present invention further includes: acquiring the current indoor temperature of a frosting stage of an air conditioner operation self-cleaning mode; determining a fan reference current based on the current indoor temperature and a preset rule; the preset rule is used for representing the corresponding relation between the current indoor temperature and the fan reference current.
For example, the preset rule is a corresponding relation between the current indoor temperature and the fan reference current, in the corresponding relation, the current indoor temperature is in positive correlation with the fan reference current, when the current indoor temperature is higher, because the air conditioner still has heat exchange with the indoor environment in the self-cleaning execution process, and heat in the indoor environment enters the indoor unit, the fan reference current can be set to be a larger value so as to increase the variation range of the fan current, delay the time of entering the condition that the current indoor temperature is greater than I-Ie & gt △ I, increase the total time of the indoor unit for frost condensation at a slower condensation speed, and reduce the adverse effect of delaying frost formation caused by heat exchange between the indoor unit and the indoor environment, otherwise, when the current indoor temperature is lower, the fan reference current is set to be a smaller value so as to accelerate the whole process of the frost condensation stage.
After the defrosting stage of the air conditioner self-cleaning mode is completed, the air conditioner self-cleaning mode can be switched to the defrosting stage to continue; the control flow of the defrosting stage of the present invention is referred to the description in the foregoing, and is not repeated herein.
Fig. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a control method of self-cleaning of an air conditioner according to still another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 6, the present invention provides another control method for self-cleaning of an air conditioner, which mainly comprises the following steps:
s601, acquiring fan current of a frost condensation stage of an air conditioner operation self-cleaning mode;
in this embodiment, the specific implementation manner of step S601 may refer to step S501 in the foregoing, which is not described herein again.
S602, adjusting the rotating speed of the fan based on the comparison result of the fan current and the fan reference current; wherein the rate of adjustment of the rotational speed is determined in response to the rate of change of the fan current.
Here, the fan reference current is an operating current of the fan when the indoor unit is not frosted. Optionally, the working current is the working current of the fan after the air conditioner meets the trigger condition of the self-cleaning mode and before the self-cleaning mode is executed.
The control method for self-cleaning of the air conditioner provided by the invention can adjust the rotating speed of the fan in the frost condensation stage based on the comparison result of the fan current and the fan reference current, is different from the existing running mode that the fan is stopped or the rotating speed is fixed, and the rotating speed of the fan which is dynamically adjusted can be more matched with the temperature change in the air conditioner, so that the frost condensation rate in the frost condensation stage is accelerated by utilizing the changed rotating speed, the actual frost condensation amount is improved, and the actual cleaning effect of the self-cleaning mode is ensured.
In the embodiment, the fan is provided with at least two wind gears with sequentially increased rotating speeds; here, the wind shield is a wind speed range preset by the air conditioner for the inner fan; for example, the inner fan has a low wind level and a breeze level, and the wind speed of the low wind level is greater than that of the breeze level.
In this way, in step S602, based on the comparison result between the fan current and the fan reference current, the adjusting of the rotation speed of the fan includes: and when the current of the fan is equal to the reference current of the fan, controlling the fan to operate at a set low wind gear.
For example, if the fan current is I and the fan reference current is Ie, the fan is set to a low wind level if I is equal to Ie; at this moment, because the fan current equals fan reference current, it indicates that there is no wind resistance or the wind resistance is minimum temporarily in the indoor set this moment, and the steam in the air is temporarily not condensed into frost in the indoor set, but begins to be converted into liquid by the gaseous state, and the fan moves with low wind-speed gear and can accelerate the inside air flow of indoor set, makes the dew of frost in the indoor set evenly distributed, guarantees that the frost volume of follow-up frost in-process is even, reduces the appearance of local frost layer is too thin, the frost is not enough scheduling problem.
Optionally, in step S602, based on a comparison result between the fan current and the fan reference current, adjusting the rotation speed of the fan further includes: when the current of the fan is larger than the reference current of the fan, the fan is controlled to be reduced to a first target rotating speed value from a rotating speed value corresponding to a low wind gear;
for example, when I > Ie, the fan is reduced to a first target rotating speed value from a set low wind gear; at the moment, because the current of the fan is greater than the reference current of the fan, the condition that the wind speed generated by frost condensation exists in the indoor unit can be judged, the water vapor in the air is gradually condensed into the frost, the fan operates at a target rotating speed value lower than a low wind gear to reduce the adverse effect of too fast air flow on the frost condensation, and the water vapor in the air or condensed condensate water can be ensured to have enough condensation time to be converted into solid frost from a gas state or a liquid state at the current position in contact with the indoor unit component (such as an indoor heat exchanger).
Optionally, the first target rotation speed value may be a rotation speed value corresponding to a breeze gear; alternatively, the target rotation speed value may be a rotation speed value between a low wind gear and a breeze gear.
Here, the fan is reduced from a rotational speed value corresponding to a low wind gear to a first target rotational speed value at a first regulation rate. Namely, when the comparison result of the fan current and the fan reference current is I & gt Ie, the adjusting rate of the fan is a first adjusting rate; optionally, the first adjustment rate is associated with a change rate of the fan current, and optionally, when the current change amount per minute of the fan current is a, the first adjustment rate of the fan is R1 rpm, for example, when the current change amount per minute of the fan current is 0.05A, the first adjustment rate of the fan is 20 rpm, that is, the fan is reduced from the rotation speed value corresponding to the low wind gear to the first target rotation speed value at a rate of 20 rpm.
Here, the current change amount per minute of the fan current is a, which can be calculated by dividing the current difference value between I and Ie by the time interval between two consecutive processes when the control process determines for the first time that the comparison result of I > Ie is obtained.
Here, the low wind gear and the first target rotating speed value are switched at the first adjusting speed, so that the stability of rotating speed switching can be improved, and the stable operation of the fan is ensured; meanwhile, the stable switching of the rotating speed can also enable airflow in the indoor unit to flow stably, and the problems of turbulence and the like caused by the switching of the wind speed are reduced.
Optionally, in step S602, based on a comparison result between the fan current and the fan reference current, adjusting the rotation speed of the fan further includes: when the current difference value between the current of the fan and the reference current of the fan is larger than the current difference threshold value, controlling the fan to reduce the rotating speed value corresponding to the low wind gear to a second target rotating speed value;
for example, when I-Ie is greater than △ I, the fan is lowered to a first target speed from a set low wind level, at this time, because the fan current is greater than the fan reference current and the difference between the two is large, the fan is empty, the water vapor in the air is gradually condensed into frost at a fast condensing speed, the fan operates at a second target speed lower than the low wind level to reduce the operating power consumption, the further condensation of the frost is realized by utilizing the heat transfer among various solid components of the indoor unit, and the frost condensing effect is ensured.
The second regulation rate is optionally associated with the rate of change of the coil temperature, optionally when the rate of change of the coil temperature is B, the second regulation rate of the fan is R2 revolutions per minute, for example, when the rate of change of the coil temperature is 0.5 ℃/minute, the second regulation rate of the fan is 10 revolutions per minute, i.e., the fan is reduced from the rotational speed value corresponding to the low wind gear to the second target rotational speed value at a rate of 10 revolutions per minute.
Here, the rate of change B of the coil temperature can be calculated by dividing the difference between the coil temperatures detected between two consecutive passes by the time interval when the control process first determines that the comparison result is I-Ie > △ I.
Here, the air conditioner indoor unit is further provided with a temperature sensor at a position adjacent to the coil, and the temperature sensor can be used for detecting the temperature of the coil of the indoor heat exchanger.
Here, the second target rotation speed value is smaller than the first target rotation speed value; when the first target rotation speed value is a wind speed value between a low wind gear and a breeze gear, the second target rotation speed value can be a rotation speed value corresponding to the breeze gear; alternatively, the target rotation speed value may be a rotation speed value between a low wind gear and a breeze gear. And when the first target rotating speed value is the rotating speed value corresponding to the breeze gear, the second target rotating speed value is a rotating speed value lower than the rotating speed value corresponding to the breeze gear.
If the comparison result that the temperature difference value between the frost critical temperature and the coil temperature is greater than the preset temperature difference threshold is obtained, the fan is at the first target rotation speed value, step S602 in this embodiment is to control the fan to decrease from the first target rotation speed value to the second target rotation speed value.
Optionally, the control method of the present invention further includes: acquiring the current indoor temperature of a frosting stage of an air conditioner operation self-cleaning mode; determining a fan reference current based on the current indoor temperature and a preset rule; the preset rule is used for representing the corresponding relation between the current indoor temperature and the fan reference current.
For example, the preset rule is a corresponding relation between the current indoor temperature and the fan reference current, in the corresponding relation, the current indoor temperature is in positive correlation with the fan reference current, when the current indoor temperature is higher, because the air conditioner still has heat exchange with the indoor environment in the self-cleaning execution process, and heat in the indoor environment enters the indoor unit, the fan reference current can be set to be a larger value so as to increase the variation range of the fan current, delay the time of entering the condition that the current indoor temperature is greater than I-Ie & gt △ I, increase the total time of the indoor unit for frost condensation at a slower condensation speed, and reduce the adverse effect of delaying frost formation caused by heat exchange between the indoor unit and the indoor environment, otherwise, when the current indoor temperature is lower, the fan reference current is set to be a smaller value so as to accelerate the whole process of the frost condensation stage.
After the defrosting stage of the air conditioner self-cleaning mode is completed, the air conditioner self-cleaning mode can be switched to the defrosting stage to continue; the control flow of the defrosting stage of the present invention is referred to the description in the foregoing, and is not repeated herein.
Fig. 7 is a seventh flowchart illustrating a control method of self-cleaning of an air conditioner according to still another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 7, the present invention provides another control method for self-cleaning of an air conditioner, which mainly comprises the following steps:
s701, acquiring the temperature of a coil pipe and the exhaust temperature of a compressor in a frost condensation stage of a self-cleaning mode of air conditioner operation;
in this embodiment, the manner of acquiring the temperature of the coil may refer to the step S101 in the foregoing, which is not described herein again.
Similarly, the air conditioner is also provided with a temperature sensor at the exhaust port or the exhaust pipeline of the compressor, and the temperature sensor can be used for detecting the exhaust temperature of the compressor; in step S701 of the present invention, the discharge temperature data of the compressor is detected by the temperature sensor.
Here, the discharge temperature of the compressor is detected in the same manner as the coil temperature.
S702, adjusting the rotating speed of the fan based on the temperature comparison result of the coil pipe temperature and the frost critical temperature, and determining the compensation amount of the rotating speed according to the variation of the exhaust temperature.
The control method for self-cleaning of the air conditioner provided by the invention can adjust the rotating speed of the fan in the frost condensation stage based on the temperature comparison result of the coil pipe temperature and the frost condensation critical temperature, and compensate the rotating speed of the fan according to the change condition of the exhaust temperature.
In the embodiment, the fan is provided with at least two wind gears with sequentially increased rotating speeds; here, the wind shield is a wind speed range preset by the air conditioner for the inner fan; for example, the inner fan has a low wind level and a breeze level, and the wind speed of the low wind level is greater than that of the breeze level.
Thus, in step S702, the adjusting the rotation speed of the fan based on the comparison result between the coil temperature and the frost-condensation critical temperature includes: and when the temperature of the coil pipe is higher than the frost-condensation critical temperature, controlling the fan to operate at a set low wind gear.
For example, the coil temperature is Toil, the frost critical temperature is Te, and when Toil is greater than Te, the fan is set to have a low wind level; at this moment, because the coil pipe temperature is higher than the critical temperature of frost, although the steam in the air can not condense into frost, but begin to be converted into liquid by the gaseous state, the fan moves with low wind-break and can accelerate the inside air flow of indoor set, and the dew that makes the frost in the indoor set can evenly distributed, guarantees that the frost volume of follow-up frost in-process is even, reduces the appearance of local frost layer too thin, the frost of congealing insufficient scheduling problem.
Optionally, in step S702, the rotation speed of the fan is adjusted based on the temperature comparison result between the coil temperature and the frost-condensation critical temperature, and the method further includes: when the temperature of the coil pipe is lower than the frost critical temperature and the temperature difference value between the frost critical temperature and the temperature of the coil pipe is lower than a preset temperature difference threshold value, controlling the fan to reduce the rotating speed value corresponding to the low wind gear to a first target rotating speed value;
for example, in the case of Toil < Te and Te-Toil < △ t, the fan is lowered from a set low wind level to a first target rotation speed value, at this time, because the temperature of the inner coil is lower than the frost-condensation critical temperature but the difference between the two is not large, the water vapor in the air is gradually condensed into frost at a slower condensation speed, and the fan is operated at the first target rotation speed value lower than the low wind level to reduce the adverse effect of too fast air flow on frost condensation, thereby ensuring that the water vapor in the air or the condensed water can be converted into solid frost from gas state or liquid state at the position currently in contact with the indoor unit component (such as the indoor heat exchanger) for enough condensation time.
Optionally, the first target rotation speed value may be a rotation speed value corresponding to a breeze gear; alternatively, the target rotation speed value may be a rotation speed value between a low wind gear and a breeze gear.
Here, in the case of Toil < Te and Te-Toil < △ t, the first compensation amount for the fan rotational speed is also determined in accordance with the amount of change in the exhaust gas temperature.
Specifically, the air conditioner is preset with a corresponding relation between the variation of the exhaust temperature and the compensation amount of the rotating speed of the fan, and illustratively, when the exhaust temperature decreases by a ℃, the compensation amount corresponding to the rotating speed that decreases by a ℃ is R1; for example, the rotational speed is compensated for-20 revolutions per 0.5 ℃ decrease in exhaust temperature.
In the embodiment, the compensation of the fan rotation speed is based on a first target rotation speed value, the exhaust temperature is based on the exhaust temperature when the first determination is that the Toil < Te and the Te-Toil < △ t are met, for example, when the first determination is that the Toil < Te and the Te-Toil < △ t are met, the exhaust temperature is 65 ℃, the first target rotation speed value is 200r/min, the exhaust temperature is repeatedly detected for a plurality of times, and when the certain detected exhaust temperature is 63 ℃, the compensation quantity of the rotation speed can be further calculated and determined to be-20 x 4-80, and the rotation speed of the fan is adjusted to 120r/min from 200 r/min.
The compensation adjustment of the fan rotating speed can enable the rotating speed of the fan to be more adaptive to the current frosting condition, and is beneficial to accelerating the condensation speed of frost on the indoor unit.
Optionally, in step S702, the rotation speed of the fan is adjusted based on the temperature comparison result between the coil temperature and the frost-condensation critical temperature, and the method further includes: and when the temperature difference value between the frost critical temperature and the coil pipe temperature is greater than a preset temperature difference threshold value, controlling the fan to reduce the rotating speed value corresponding to the low wind gear to a second target rotating speed value.
For example, when Te-Toil is more than △ t, the fan is reduced to a second target rotating speed value from a set low wind gear, at the moment, because the temperature of the inner coil pipe is lower than the frost-condensation critical temperature and the difference between the two is large, water vapor in the air is gradually condensed into frost at a fast condensing speed, the running power consumption of the fan can be reduced when the fan runs at the second target rotating speed value lower than the low wind gear, the further condensation of the frost is realized by utilizing the transfer of heat among various solid components of the indoor unit, and the frost-condensation effect is ensured.
Here, the second target rotation speed value is smaller than the first target rotation speed value; when the first target rotation speed value is a wind speed value between a low wind gear and a breeze gear, the second target rotation speed value can be a rotation speed value corresponding to the breeze gear; alternatively, the target rotation speed value may be a rotation speed value between a low wind gear and a breeze gear. And when the first target rotating speed value is the rotating speed value corresponding to the breeze gear, the second target rotating speed value is a rotating speed value lower than the rotating speed value corresponding to the breeze gear.
If the comparison result that the temperature difference value between the frost critical temperature and the coil temperature is greater than the preset temperature difference threshold value is obtained, the fan is at the first target rotation speed value, step S702 in this embodiment is to control the fan to decrease from the first target rotation speed value to the second target rotation speed value.
Here, in the case of Te-Toil > △ t, the second compensation amount for the fan speed is also determined based on the amount of change in the exhaust temperature.
Specifically, the air conditioner is preset with a corresponding relation between the variation of the exhaust temperature and the compensation amount of the fan rotation speed, and illustratively, when the exhaust temperature decreases by B ℃, the compensation amount corresponding to the rotation speed decreases by B ℃ is R2; for example, the rotational speed is compensated for-10 revolutions per 0.5 ℃ decrease in exhaust temperature.
In the embodiment, the compensation of the fan rotation speed is to use the second target rotation speed value as the reference rotation speed, the exhaust temperature is to use the exhaust temperature when the first determination is that the temperature is Te-Toil > △ t as the reference temperature, for example, when the first determination is that the temperature is Te-Toil > △ t, the exhaust temperature is 70 ℃, the second target rotation speed value is 150r/min, the exhaust temperature is repeatedly detected for many times, when the exhaust temperature detected for a certain time is 68.5 ℃, the compensation quantity of the determined rotation speed can be further calculated to be-20 x 3-60, and the rotation speed of the fan is adjusted to 90r/min from 150 r/min.
Here, the second compensation amount of the rotation speed is associated with the amount of change in the exhaust gas temperature; the second target rotating speed value is smaller than the first target rotating speed value, and the second compensation amount is smaller than the first compensation amount.
Optionally, the control method of the present invention further includes: acquiring the current indoor temperature of a frosting stage of an air conditioner operation self-cleaning mode; determining a preset temperature difference threshold value based on the current indoor temperature and a preset rule; the preset rule is used for representing the corresponding relation between the current indoor temperature and the temperature difference threshold value.
For example, the preset rule is a corresponding relationship between the current indoor temperature and the temperature difference threshold, and in the corresponding relationship, the current indoor temperature and the temperature difference threshold are in positive correlation; under the condition that the current indoor temperature is higher, because the heat exchange with the indoor environment still exists in the self-cleaning process of the air conditioner, and the heat in the indoor environment enters the indoor unit, the temperature range of the indoor unit for frost condensation at a lower condensation speed needs to be increased, the flowing time of the air flow driven by the indoor unit at a target rotating speed value can be further prolonged, the adverse effect of delaying frost formation caused by the heat exchange between the indoor unit and the indoor environment is reduced, and therefore the temperature difference threshold value can be set to be a larger value; on the contrary, under the condition that the current indoor temperature is smaller, the temperature difference threshold value is set to be a smaller value so as to accelerate the whole process of the frost condensation stage.
After the defrosting stage of the air conditioner self-cleaning mode is completed, the air conditioner self-cleaning mode can be switched to the defrosting stage to continue; the control flow of the defrosting stage of the present invention is referred to the description in the foregoing, and is not repeated herein.
Fig. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an eighth method for controlling self-cleaning of an air conditioner according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 8, the present invention provides another control method for self-cleaning of an air conditioner, which mainly comprises the following steps:
s801, acquiring the coil temperature and the fan current in the defrosting stage of the air conditioner operation self-cleaning mode;
in this embodiment, the manner of acquiring the temperature of the coil may refer to the step S101 in the foregoing, which is not described herein again.
In this embodiment, the obtaining manner of the fan current may refer to the step S501 in the foregoing, which is not described herein again.
S802, adjusting the rotating speed of the fan based on the temperature comparison result of the coil temperature and the frost critical temperature and the variation of the coil temperature; and determining the compensation amount of the rotating speed according to the variation of the fan current.
The control method for self-cleaning of the air conditioner provided by the invention can adjust the rotating speed of the fan in the frost condensation stage based on the temperature comparison result of the coil temperature and the frost condensation critical temperature and the variation of the coil temperature, is different from the existing running mode that the fan is stopped or the rotating speed is fixed, and the rotating speed of the fan which is dynamically adjusted can be more matched with the temperature variation in the air conditioner, so that the frost condensation rate in the frost condensation stage is accelerated by utilizing the varied rotating speed, the actual frost condensation amount is improved, and the actual cleaning effect of the self-cleaning mode is ensured.
In the embodiment, the fan is provided with at least two wind gears with sequentially increased rotating speeds; here, the wind shield is a wind speed range preset by the air conditioner for the inner fan; for example, the inner fan has a low wind level and a breeze level, and the wind speed of the low wind level is greater than that of the breeze level.
Thus, in step S802, the rotation speed of the fan is adjusted based on the temperature comparison result between the coil temperature and the frost-condensation critical temperature, and the method includes: and when the temperature of the coil pipe is higher than the frost-condensation critical temperature, controlling the fan to operate at a set low wind gear.
For example, the coil temperature is Toil, the frost critical temperature is Te, and when Toil is greater than Te, the fan is set to have a low wind level; at this moment, because the coil pipe temperature is higher than the critical temperature of frost, although the steam in the air can not condense into frost, but begin to be converted into liquid by the gaseous state, the fan moves with low wind-break and can accelerate the inside air flow of indoor set, and the dew that makes the frost in the indoor set can evenly distributed, guarantees that the frost volume of follow-up frost in-process is even, reduces the appearance of local frost layer too thin, the frost of congealing insufficient scheduling problem.
Optionally, in step S802, based on the temperature comparison result between the coil temperature and the frost-condensation critical temperature and the variation of the coil temperature, the rotation speed of the fan is adjusted, further including: when the temperature of the coil pipe is smaller than the frost condensation critical temperature, the temperature difference value between the frost condensation critical temperature and the temperature of the coil pipe is smaller than a preset temperature difference threshold value, and the variation of the temperature of the coil pipe is smaller than a preset variation threshold value, controlling the fan to reduce the rotating speed value corresponding to the low wind gear to a first target rotating speed value;
for example, in the case of Toil < Te, Te-Toil < △ T, and △ Toil (variation of coil temperature) < △ T (variation threshold), the fan is lowered from a set low wind level to a first target speed, at this time, since the temperature of the inner coil is lower than the frost critical temperature, but the difference between the two is not large, and the variation of the coil temperature is smaller than the preset variation threshold, the moisture in the air is gradually condensed into frost at a slower condensation speed, and the fan is operated at the first target speed lower than the low wind level to reduce the adverse effect of too fast air flow on frost condensation, so as to ensure that the moisture or condensed water in the air can be converted from a gas state or a liquid state into solid state frost at the current contact position with the indoor unit component (such as an indoor heat exchanger) for a sufficient condensation time.
Optionally, the first target rotation speed value may be a rotation speed value corresponding to a breeze gear; alternatively, the target rotation speed value may be a rotation speed value between a low wind gear and a breeze gear.
Here, when the temperature is Toil < Te, Te-Toil < △ T and △ Toil (variation of coil temperature) < △ T (variation threshold), a first compensation amount for the fan speed is determined according to the variation (△ i) of the fan current.
Specifically, the air conditioner is preset with a corresponding relationship between the variation of the fan current and the compensation amount of the fan rotation speed, and for example, when the fan current decreases by a, the compensation amount corresponding to the rotation speed that decreases by a is R1; for example, the rotational speed is compensated by-20 revolutions per 0.5mA of decrease in fan current.
In this embodiment, the fan rotation speed is compensated by using a first target rotation speed value as a reference rotation speed, the fan current is a current value based on the fan current when the fan current is judged to be in the state of Toil < Te and Te-Toil < △ t for the first time, for example, when the fan current is judged to be in the state of Toil < Te and Te-Toil < △ t for the first time, the fan current is 20mA, the first target rotation speed value is 200r/min, the fan current is repeatedly detected for many times, and when the fan current detected for one time is 18mA, the compensation amount of the rotation speed can be further calculated and determined to be-20 x 4-80, and the rotation speed of the fan is adjusted to 120r/min from 200 r/min.
The compensation adjustment of the fan rotating speed can enable the rotating speed of the fan to be more adaptive to the current frosting condition, and is beneficial to accelerating the condensation speed of frost on the indoor unit.
Optionally, in step S802, based on the temperature comparison result between the coil temperature and the frost-condensation critical temperature and the variation of the coil temperature, the rotation speed of the fan is adjusted, further including: when the temperature difference value between the frost critical temperature and the coil pipe temperature is larger than a preset temperature difference threshold value and the variation of the coil pipe temperature is larger than a preset variation threshold value, controlling the fan to reduce the rotating speed value corresponding to the low wind gear to a second target rotating speed value;
for example, when Te-Toil is more than △ T, and △ Toil (variation of coil temperature) > △ T (variation threshold), the fan is reduced to a second target rotation speed value from a set low wind gear, at this time, because the temperature of the inner coil is lower than the frost critical temperature, the difference between the two is large, and the variation of the coil temperature is greater than the preset variation threshold, the water vapor in the air is gradually condensed into frost at a faster condensation speed, the running power consumption of the fan can be reduced by running the fan at the second target rotation speed value lower than the low wind gear, the further condensation of the frost is realized by utilizing the transfer of heat among various solid components of the indoor unit, and the frost condensation effect is ensured.
Here, the second target rotation speed value is smaller than the first target rotation speed value; when the first target rotation speed value is a wind speed value between a low wind gear and a breeze gear, the second target rotation speed value can be a rotation speed value corresponding to the breeze gear; alternatively, the target rotation speed value may be a rotation speed value between a low wind gear and a breeze gear. And when the first target rotating speed value is the rotating speed value corresponding to the breeze gear, the second target rotating speed value is a rotating speed value lower than the rotating speed value corresponding to the breeze gear.
If the comparison result that the temperature difference value between the frost critical temperature and the coil temperature is greater than the preset temperature difference threshold value is obtained, the fan is at the first target rotation speed value, step S802 in this embodiment is to control the fan to decrease from the first target rotation speed value to the second target rotation speed value.
Here, in the case of Te-Toil > △ T and △ Toil > △ T, the second compensation amount for the fan speed is also determined according to the variation of the fan current.
Specifically, the air conditioner is preset with a corresponding relationship between the variation of the fan current and the compensation amount of the fan rotation speed, and for example, when the fan current decreases by B, the compensation amount corresponding to the rotation speed that decreases by B is R2; for example, the rotational speed is compensated by-10 revolutions for each 1mA decrease in fan current.
In this embodiment, the compensation of the fan rotation speed is performed by using the second target rotation speed value as the reference rotation speed, and the fan current is determined to be the fan current when Te-Toil > △ t is satisfied for the first time, for example, when Te-Toil > △ t is satisfied for the first time, the fan current is 15mA, and the second target rotation speed value is 150r/min, the coil temperature is repeatedly detected for many times, and when the fan current detected for a certain time is 13mA, the compensation amount for determining the rotation speed can be further calculated to be-20 × 2-40, and the rotation speed of the fan is adjusted from 150r/min to 110 r/min.
Here, the second compensation amount of the rotation speed is associated with the variation amount of the fan current; the second target rotating speed is less than the first target rotating speed, and the second compensation amount is less than the first compensation amount.
Optionally, the control method of the present invention further includes: acquiring the current indoor temperature of a frosting stage of an air conditioner operation self-cleaning mode; determining a preset temperature difference threshold value based on the current indoor temperature and a preset rule; the preset rule is used for representing the corresponding relation between the current indoor temperature and the temperature difference threshold value.
For example, the preset rule is a corresponding relationship between the current indoor temperature and the temperature difference threshold, and in the corresponding relationship, the current indoor temperature and the temperature difference threshold are in positive correlation; under the condition that the current indoor temperature is higher, because the heat exchange with the indoor environment still exists in the self-cleaning process of the air conditioner, and the heat in the indoor environment enters the indoor unit, the temperature range of the indoor unit for frost condensation at a lower condensation speed needs to be increased, the flowing time of the air flow driven by the indoor unit at a target rotating speed value can be further prolonged, the adverse effect of delaying frost formation caused by the heat exchange between the indoor unit and the indoor environment is reduced, and therefore the temperature difference threshold value can be set to be a larger value; on the contrary, under the condition that the current indoor temperature is smaller, the temperature difference threshold value is set to be a smaller value so as to accelerate the whole process of the frost condensation stage.
After the defrosting stage of the air conditioner self-cleaning mode is completed, the air conditioner self-cleaning mode can be switched to the defrosting stage to continue; the control flow of the defrosting stage of the present invention is referred to the description in the foregoing, and is not repeated herein.
