It will be appreciated that the configuration shown in fig. 1 is merely illustrative and that the air conditioner may include more or fewer components than shown in fig. 1 or may have a different configuration than shown in fig. 1. The components shown in fig. 1 may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination thereof.
On the basis of the air conditioner shown in fig. 1, the present invention provides a method for detecting a refrigerant shortage of an air conditioner, please refer to fig. 2, and fig. 2 shows a flow diagram of the method for detecting a refrigerant shortage of an air conditioner provided in this embodiment. The method for detecting the lack of refrigerant of the air conditioner comprises the steps 110 to 150.
Step 110: acquiring the middle pipe temperature and the opening of an indoor unit valve of each indoor unit in the current period; the middle pipe temperature of the indoor unit refers to the temperature of the middle pipeline of the evaporator of the indoor unit.
When the air conditioner stably runs, the middle pipe temperature and the inner valve opening degree of each indoor unit in the current period are obtained, the multi-split air conditioner comprises a plurality of indoor units, the middle pipe temperature of each indoor unit is possibly different from the middle pipe temperatures of other indoor units, and the inner valve opening degree of each indoor unit is possibly different from the inner valve opening degrees of other indoor units. The stable operation means that the air conditioner is operated for a certain time period, for example, 10 minutes, at the time of starting. In one possible implementation manner, the period length for performing the middle pipe temperature detection acquisition may be greater than or equal to 10 minutes, and in this embodiment, the period length may be set to 10 minutes.
Step 120: and determining whether the middle pipe temperatures of all the indoor units in the current period meet a first preset condition according to the middle pipe temperature of the indoor unit and the pre-measured initial middle pipe temperature of the indoor unit.
Determining whether all indoor unit middle pipe temperatures meet a first preset condition in the current period according to the indoor unit middle pipe temperature and a pre-measured indoor unit initial middle pipe temperature, wherein the initial middle pipe temperature is the indoor unit middle pipe temperature at the initial startup, understandably, the initial middle pipe temperature can be regarded as the middle pipe temperature when the air conditioner is not in operation, the refrigerant does not circulate at the moment, determining whether the first preset condition is met according to the middle pipe temperature of the indoor unit and the initial middle pipe temperature, namely, judging whether the refrigerant is lacked in the indoor unit heat exchanger pipeline or not, comparing the indoor unit middle pipe temperature in operation with the indoor unit middle pipe temperature in non-operation, thereby judging the refrigerant condition in the pipeline, understandably, if the refrigerant is sufficient, the indoor unit middle pipe temperature is lower due to the heat exchange effect of the refrigerant, if the refrigerant is insufficient, the indoor unit's middle tube temperature is relatively high but still lower than the initial middle tube temperature, which should be approximately the same if there is no refrigerant at all.
Step 130: when the middle pipe temperatures of all the indoor units in the current period all meet a first preset condition, determining whether the number of the continuous periods in which the middle pipe temperatures of all the indoor units all meet the first preset condition reaches a first preset value.
If the middle pipe temperatures of all the indoor units in the previous period meet the first preset condition, whether the number of the continuous periods meeting the first preset condition reaches a first preset value or not is judged according to the middle pipe temperature data of the indoor units in the historical period. The method is characterized in that the number of continuous periods with insufficient refrigerant in a plurality of continuous periods is judged, understandably, if the temperature of the middle pipe of the indoor unit in only one period meets a first preset condition, the condition that the air conditioner lacks the refrigerant cannot be judged according to the condition, therefore, comprehensive judgment and analysis need to be carried out according to temperature data of the plurality of periods, and if the temperatures of the middle pipes of the indoor units in the plurality of continuous periods meet the first preset condition, the condition that the temperature of the pipeline of the heat exchanger of the indoor unit is always in a relatively high state and the refrigerant probably lacks is indicated.
Step 140: and when the continuous period number of the middle pipes of all the indoor units meeting the first preset condition reaches a first preset value, determining whether the opening degrees of the indoor unit valves of all the indoor units meet a second preset condition.
Since the temperature of the middle pipe of the indoor unit is detected by the temperature sensor, in order to avoid detection errors or faults of the temperature sensor, when it is determined that the air conditioner may lack a refrigerant, factors affecting the air conditioner, such as faults of the temperature sensor, need to be discharged. For example, according to whether the opening degree of the indoor unit valve of the indoor unit meets the second preset condition, the larger the opening degree of the indoor unit valve is, the more refrigerant in the pipeline is indicated, and the smaller the opening degree of the indoor unit valve is, the less refrigerant in the pipeline is indicated. It can be understood that if the temperature of the middle pipe of the indoor unit is high and the opening of the indoor unit valve is small, it cannot be determined that the air conditioner lacks a refrigerant, which may be caused by the fact that the temperature of the middle pipe of the indoor unit is high due to the fact that the opening of the valve is small and the refrigerant in the pipe is small. If the temperature of the pipe in the indoor unit is high and the opening degree of the indoor unit valve is large, the refrigerant shortage can be judged because: under the condition that the opening degree of the inner engine valve is large, if the refrigerant is sufficient, the pipeline of the heat exchanger of the indoor unit is full of the refrigerant, the temperature of the middle pipe of the indoor unit is in a low state, and under the condition that the opening degree of the inner engine valve is large, the temperature of the middle pipe is still high, and the fact that the refrigerant is short can be judged.
Step 150: and when the opening degrees of the indoor machine valves of all the indoor machines meet a second preset condition, determining that the refrigerant of the multi-split air conditioner is insufficient.
When the opening degrees of the valves of the indoor units meet the second preset condition, the shortage of the refrigerant of the air conditioner can be determined.
The invention provides a method for detecting lack of refrigerant of an air conditioner, which comprises the steps of firstly determining whether the middle pipe temperatures of all indoor units in the current period meet a first preset condition according to the middle pipe temperature of the indoor unit and the pre-measured initial middle pipe temperature; the refrigerant is judged for the first time by utilizing the middle pipe temperature of the indoor unit, when the middle pipe temperatures of all the indoor units meet the first preset condition, the refrigerant is further judged by combining the opening degrees of the indoor units, misjudgment caused by falling of temperature sensing bags and the like is avoided, when the opening degrees of all the indoor units meet the second preset condition, the refrigerant lack of the air conditioner is determined, the structural characteristics of the air conditioner are combined, judgment is carried out according to the middle pipe temperatures of all the indoor units and the opening degrees of the indoor units, the detection precision of the refrigerant lack is improved, other components such as a pressure sensor and the like are not needed, and the identification accuracy of the refrigerant lack can be improved.
In a possible implementation manner, when it is determined that the multi-split air-conditioner is insufficient, the air-conditioner may be controlled to stop operating and to issue a warning, for example, display a warning message on a display device of the air-conditioner, or the air-conditioner may be controlled to send a warning message to a corresponding user terminal to warn a user of insufficient refrigerant, where the user terminal may be a remote controller corresponding to the air-conditioner, but is not limited thereto, and may also be a smartphone or a tablet computer login terminal of the user.
In one possible implementation, referring to fig. 3, step 120: the method comprises the following substeps of determining whether the middle pipe temperatures of all indoor units in the current period meet a first preset condition according to the middle pipe temperature of the indoor unit and the pre-measured initial middle pipe temperature of the indoor unit.
Step 120-1: and determining the temperature difference of each indoor unit according to the intermediate pipe temperature and the initial intermediate pipe temperature, wherein the temperature difference is the difference between the initial intermediate pipe temperature and the intermediate pipe temperature.
The air conditioner comprises a plurality of indoor units, a temperature difference value corresponding to each indoor unit is determined according to the intermediate pipe temperature of each indoor unit and the initial intermediate pipe temperature, wherein the initial intermediate pipe temperature is the intermediate pipe temperature detected when the air conditioner is started, the temperature difference value is obtained by subtracting the initial intermediate pipe temperature and the intermediate pipe temperature, the difference value can represent the quantity of refrigerants in the heat exchanger pipeline of the indoor unit, for example, the more refrigerants are, the lower the intermediate pipe temperature is, the larger the temperature difference value is, and the less the refrigerant quantity is, the smaller the temperature difference value is.
Step 120-2: and when the temperature difference value of each indoor unit is smaller than the temperature threshold value and continuously reaches the preset time length, determining that the middle pipe temperatures of all the indoor units in the current period all meet a first preset condition.
If the temperature difference value of the indoor units is smaller than the temperature threshold value, the quantity of the refrigerant in the pipelines of the indoor units can be determined to be less, and if the temperature difference values of all the indoor units are smaller than the temperature threshold value and the duration time reaches the preset duration time, the quantity of the refrigerant in all the indoor units can be determined to be less.
It should be noted that, because the multi-split air conditioner exchanges heat between the refrigerant of the outdoor unit and the refrigerant of the indoor unit through the pipeline, and the refrigerant distribution may be uneven due to the pipeline and other reasons, so that the temperature difference values of some of the indoor units may be smaller than the temperature threshold value due to the uneven refrigerant distribution, in order to ensure accurate determination, in this embodiment, the determination condition is set such that all the temperature difference values of the indoor units are smaller than the temperature threshold value and the duration reaches the preset duration, so that the determination accuracy can be improved, and the erroneous determination can be avoided.
In a possible implementation, the temperature threshold is between 4 ℃ and 6 ℃, and preferably may be set to 5 ℃, the preset duration being greater than or equal to 5 seconds. The first preset value is greater than or equal to 3, and the judgment precision can be improved and the misjudgment can be avoided by reasonably setting the temperature threshold, the preset time and the first preset value.
In a possible implementation manner, in order to avoid misjudgment caused by factors such as temperature sensor failure, the actual structure of the multi-split air conditioner needs to be combined, and whether the refrigerant is lacking is further determined according to the opening degree of the indoor unit valve of the indoor unit. Referring to fig. 4, step 140: when the continuous period number of all the indoor unit middle pipe temperatures meeting the first preset condition reaches the first preset value, the step of determining whether the indoor unit valve openness of all the indoor units meets the second preset condition comprises the following steps:
step 140-1: and determining whether the opening ratios of the indoor unit valves of all the indoor units reach preset ratios.
Whether the refrigerant is lacked or not is judged in an auxiliary mode by utilizing the opening degree of the inner machine valve of the indoor machine, whether the refrigerant is lacked or not cannot be judged if the opening degree of the inner machine valve of the indoor machine is small under the condition that the temperature of a pipe in the indoor machine is high, and whether the refrigerant is insufficient can be determined if the opening degree of the inner machine valve is large, for example, a preset proportion is reached under the condition that the temperature of the pipe in the indoor machine is high. The preset proportion may be greater than or equal to 80%, and when the number of consecutive cycles in which the temperatures of the intermediate pipes of all the indoor units satisfy the first preset condition reaches the first preset value, taking a valve with an opening of 480 as an example, when the openings of the indoor valves of all the indoor units reach 400 or more than 400, it may be determined that the indoor valves of all the indoor units satisfy the second preset condition.
Step 140-2: and when the indoor unit valve opening ratios of all the indoor units reach the preset ratio, determining that the indoor unit valve openings of all the indoor units meet a second preset condition.
It should be noted that all the determination conditions provided in this embodiment are determined that the multi-split air conditioner satisfies the conditions when all the indoor units in the multi-split air conditioner satisfy the corresponding conditions, so that differences such as different temperatures of some indoor units due to the type of the pipeline or environmental factors can be avoided.
