Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that the described embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, and not restrictive of the full scope of the invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a cleaning control method is provided, as shown in fig. 1, which is a schematic flow chart of an embodiment of the method of the present invention. The cleaning control method is applied to the air conditioner capable of self-cleaning the indoor unit, and the cleaning control method for the self-cleaning of the indoor unit of the air conditioner can comprise the following steps: step S110 to step S130.

At step S110, a current dirty parameter of the condensed water of the air conditioner is obtained, which may be specifically the current dirty parameter of the condensed water of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. The current dirty parameter of the condensed water may include: a current dirt turbidity of the condensed water, and/or a current dirt content of the condensed water. That is, the current dirty parameter of the condensed water of the air conditioner may include: a current dirt turbidity of the condensed water of the air conditioner, and/or a current dirt content of the condensed water of the air conditioner.

At step S120, a cleaning mode corresponding to the current dirty parameter is determined according to the current dirty parameter of the condensed water of the air conditioner.

Optionally, before step S120, a step of determining whether the air conditioner needs to be cleaned may be further included, for example: and determining whether the air conditioner needs to be cleaned according to the acquired current dirty parameter of the condensed water, specifically, determining whether an indoor unit of the air conditioner needs to be cleaned.

Alternatively, a specific process of determining whether the air conditioner needs cleaning according to the current dirty parameter of the condensed water of the air conditioner may be referred to as the following exemplary description.

Referring to the flow chart of an embodiment of determining whether the air conditioner needs to be cleaned in the method of the present invention shown in fig. 2, a specific process of determining whether the air conditioner needs to be cleaned is further defined, which may include: step S210 and step S220.

Step S210, determining whether the current pollution turbidity of the condensed water is larger than the lower limit of the set pollution turbidity range and/or determining whether the current oil content of the condensed water is larger than the lower limit of the set oil content range.

And step S220, if the current dirt degree of the condensed water is larger than the lower limit of the set dirt degree range and/or the current oil stain content of the condensed water is larger than the lower limit of the set oil stain content range, determining that the air conditioner needs to be cleaned. Of course, if the current turbidity of the condensed water is less than or equal to the lower limit of the set turbidity range and the current oil content of the condensed water is less than or equal to the lower limit of the set oil content range, it is determined that the air conditioner does not need to be cleaned.

For example: and detecting the turbidity (or turbidity) of the condensed water, and if the turbidity (or turbidity) of the condensed water is low, not starting the self-cleaning mode.

For example: and detecting the oil stain content of the condensed water, and if the oil stain content of the condensed water is low, starting the cleaning mode of the detergent, and starting the water cleaning mode or the first temperature water cleaning mode.

Therefore, whether the air conditioner needs to be cleaned or not is determined by combining the dirt turbidity of the condensed water and the dirt content of the condensed water, the cleaning detection of the air conditioner in the special environment such as a kitchen can be realized, and the use and the cleaning of the air conditioner in the special environment such as the kitchen by a user are facilitated.

Correspondingly, in step S120, according to the current dirty parameter of the condensed water of the air conditioner, the cleaning mode corresponding to the current dirty parameter is determined, which may specifically be: and if the air conditioner needs to be cleaned, further determining a cleaning mode corresponding to the current dirty parameter according to the current dirty parameter of the condensed water of the air conditioner. Of course, if the air conditioner does not need cleaning, the control continues to operate in the current operation mode.

For example: the cleaning mode to be performed is controlled by the dirt turbidity (or turbidity) and the oil content of the evaporator condensed water, and the cleaning mode can comprise a clean water cleaning mode, a high-temperature cleaning mode, a clean water detergent mixing cleaning mode and a warm water detergent mixing cleaning mode.

Alternatively, the specific process of determining the cleaning mode corresponding to the current dirty parameter according to the current dirty parameter of the condensed water of the air conditioner in step S120 may include a first determination process and/or a second determination process, and specifically, refer to the following exemplary description.

The first determination process: under the current dirty parameter of comdenstion water is the current dirty condition of turbidity of comdenstion water, according to the current dirty parameter of the comdenstion water of air conditioner, confirm the clean mode that current dirty parameter corresponds, can include: and determining a cleaning mode process according to the current turbidity of the condensed water. Referring to fig. 3, a flowchart of an embodiment of determining the cleaning mode according to the current turbidity of the condensed water in the method of the present invention will be further described, where the specific process of determining the cleaning mode according to the current turbidity of the condensed water may include: step S310 to step S330.

In step S310, it is determined whether the current turbidity of the condensed water is greater than the lower limit of the set turbidity range.

For example: the lower limit of the contamination degree range is set as a contamination degree limit value A, and the upper limit of the contamination degree range is set as a contamination degree limit value B. The method comprises the steps of obtaining the real-time dirty degree of indoor unit condensate water, comparing the real-time dirty degree of the indoor unit condensate water with a dirty degree limit value A and a dirty degree limit value B, and cleaning the indoor unit according to the comparison result of the real-time dirty degree of the indoor unit condensate water and the dirty degree limit value A. And if the real-time pollution degree is less than or equal to the pollution degree limit value A, the indoor unit is clean, and the self-cleaning mode is not started.

In step S320, if the current dirty degree of the condensed water is greater than the lower limit of the set dirty degree range and less than or equal to the upper limit of the set dirty degree range, it is determined that the cleaning mode corresponding to the current dirty parameter is a water cleaning mode (such as a clean water cleaning mode, a normal temperature water cleaning mode, etc.).

For example: and detecting the turbidity (or turbidity) of the condensed water, and if the turbidity (or turbidity) of the condensed water is normal, starting a clear water cleaning mode.

In step S330, if the current turbidity level of the condensed water is greater than the upper limit of the set turbidity range, it is determined that the cleaning mode corresponding to the current turbidity parameter is the first temperature water cleaning mode (e.g., high temperature cleaning mode).

For example: and detecting the turbidity (or turbidity) of the condensed water, and if the turbidity (or turbidity) of the condensed water is high, starting a heating device to perform high-temperature cleaning. If the real-time turbidity degree is larger than the turbidity limit value B, which indicates that the filth blockage degree of the indoor unit is larger, the heating device of the water storage mechanism is started immediately, heating is stopped until the temperature of the water in the reservoir is higher than 90 degrees, and then the indoor unit is controlled to enter a high-temperature clear water cleaning mode immediately.

The second determination process: under the condition that the current dirty parameter of comdenstion water is the current greasy dirt content of comdenstion water, according to the current dirty parameter of the comdenstion water of air conditioner, confirm the clean mode that current dirty parameter corresponds, can also include: and determining a cleaning mode process according to the current oil stain content of the condensed water. Referring to fig. 4, a flowchart of an embodiment of determining a cleaning mode according to the current oil content of the condensed water in the method of the present invention will be further described, where the specific process of determining the cleaning mode according to the current oil content of the condensed water may include: step S410 to step S430.

And step S410, determining whether the current oil stain content of the condensed water is greater than the lower limit of the set oil stain content range.

For example: the lower limit of the oil stain content range is set to be a first preset value C, and the upper limit of the oil stain content range is set to be a second preset value D. And comparing the real-time oil stain content of the indoor unit condensate water with the oil stain content limit value, and cleaning the indoor unit according to the comparison result of the real-time oil stain content of the indoor unit condensate water and the oil stain content limit value. The limit value of the oil stain content can also comprise a first preset value C and a second preset value D, wherein the second preset value D is larger than the first preset value C. And if the real-time oil stain content is less than or equal to the first preset value C, the indoor unit is clean, and the self-cleaning mode is not started.

Step S420, if the current oil content of the condensed water is greater than the lower limit of the set oil content range and less than or equal to the upper limit of the set oil content, determining that the cleaning mode corresponding to the current dirty parameter is a water and detergent cleaning mode (such as a clean water and detergent cleaning mode, a normal temperature water and detergent cleaning mode, etc.), or a first temperature water cleaning mode (such as a high temperature cleaning mode).

For example: and detecting the oil stain content of the condensed water, and if the oil stain content of the condensed water is general, starting a heating device to carry out high-temperature cleaning, or cleaning by using clean water and a detergent.

Step S430, if the current oil content of the condensed water is greater than the upper limit of the set oil content, determining that the cleaning mode corresponding to the current dirty parameter is a second temperature water and detergent cleaning mode (such as a warm water and detergent cleaning mode).

For example: and detecting the oil stain content of the condensed water, if the oil stain content of the condensed water is high, starting a heating device, controlling the water temperature to be about 40 ℃, and simultaneously cleaning by using warm water of about 40 ℃ and a detergent.

For example: in order to more accurately judge the time for starting the self-cleaning mode and the self-cleaning mode of the air conditioner, the real-time detection of the dirty degree and the oil stain content of the condensed water of the indoor unit is obtained, the real-time dirty degree and the oil stain content are compared with a dirty degree limit value and an oil stain limit value, and the indoor unit is controlled to enter the corresponding self-cleaning mode according to the comparison result.

Therefore, the opportunity of the air conditioner for starting the self-cleaning mode and the self-cleaning mode are accurately judged according to the real-time detection of the indoor unit condensate water and the content of oil stains, the air conditioner is controlled to enter the corresponding cleaning mode under the condition that the air conditioner needs to be cleaned, the self-cleaning can be realized by using the proper cleaning mode when the air conditioner needs to be cleaned, the cleaning effect is guaranteed, and the problem that the cleaning mode is improper and consumes energy and does not reach the cleaning effect is also avoided.

And at step S130, controlling the air conditioner to operate according to the determined cleaning mode so as to clean the indoor unit of the air conditioner through the determined cleaning mode.

For example: the real-time detection of the condensed water of the indoor unit is acquired, the dirty degree and the oil stain content are detected, the indoor unit enters a corresponding self-cleaning mode according to the dirty degree and the oil stain content, the automatic dust removal effect of the indoor evaporator 7 by the air conditioner is realized, the high heat exchange efficiency of an evaporator is favorably ensured, and the complex operation that the indoor unit needs to be disassembled when the evaporator is manually cleaned is also avoided.

Wherein, the cleaning mode can include: a water cleaning mode, a first temperature water cleaning mode, a water and detergent cleaning mode, and/or a second temperature water and detergent cleaning mode. Specifically, there may be a water cleaning mode (e.g., a fresh water washing mode, a normal temperature water cleaning mode, etc.) in which the indoor unit is cleaned using water, a first temperature water cleaning mode (e.g., a high temperature washing mode) in which the indoor unit is cleaned using first temperature water, a water and detergent cleaning mode (e.g., a fresh water and detergent washing mode, a normal temperature water and detergent washing mode, etc.) in which the indoor unit is cleaned using water and detergent, and/or a second temperature water and detergent cleaning mode (e.g., a warm water and detergent washing mode) in which the indoor unit is cleaned using second temperature water and detergent. The temperature of the first temperature water is higher than that of the second temperature water, and the temperature of the water in the water cleaning mode is lower than that of the second temperature water.

For example: the cleaning mode can comprise a clean water cleaning mode, a high-temperature cleaning mode, a clean water detergent mixed cleaning mode and a warm water detergent mixed cleaning mode, so that the cleaning effect of the air conditioner is more thorough and more convenient, and the air conditioner is especially suitable for special use environments such as kitchen oil smoke. By adopting various cleaning modes such as a water cleaning mode (such as a clean water cleaning mode, a normal-temperature water cleaning mode and the like), a first temperature water cleaning mode (such as a high-temperature cleaning mode), a water and detergent cleaning mode (such as a clean water and detergent mixed cleaning mode), a second temperature water and detergent cleaning mode (such as a warm water and detergent mixed cleaning mode) and the like, the problem that bacteria and dust accumulated in an air conditioner for a long time are difficult to clean is solved, and especially for special use environments such as kitchen oil smoke and the like, a thorough cleaning effect can be obtained.

Therefore, the self-cleaning mode and the self-cleaning time of the air conditioner are judged according to the dirty degree and the greasy dirt content of the condensed water of the indoor unit, the self-cleaning of the indoor unit is realized, the air conditioner is convenient to clean or clean, and the cleaning effect can be guaranteed.

Alternatively, the step S130 of controlling the air conditioner to operate in the determined cleaning mode may include at least one of the following operation modes:

the first operation mode is as follows: under the water cleaning mode (such as a clean water cleaning mode and a normal temperature water cleaning mode) for cleaning the indoor unit by using water, the indoor unit is cleaned by using water by controlling a water storage device (such as a water storage tank) and a water pump (such as a first water pump) which are matched with the air conditioner.

The second operation mode is as follows: under the first temperature water cleaning mode (such as high-temperature cleaning mode) that utilizes first temperature water to clean indoor set, through control with water storage device (such as cistern), water pump (such as first water pump) and the heating device that the air conditioner matches the setting, utilize first temperature water to clean indoor set after heating water to first temperature.

The third operation mode is as follows: in a water and detergent cleaning mode (such as a clean water and detergent cleaning mode, a normal temperature water and detergent cleaning mode, and the like) for cleaning the indoor unit by using water and detergent, the indoor unit is cleaned by controlling a water storage device (such as a water storage tank), a detergent device (such as a liquid storage tank), and a water pump (such as a first water pump, a second water pump, and the like) which are matched with the air conditioner.

The fourth operation mode is as follows: in a second temperature water and detergent cleaning mode (such as warm water and detergent cleaning mode) for cleaning the indoor unit by using second temperature water and detergent, after water is heated to a second temperature by controlling a water storage device (such as a water storage tank), a detergent device (such as a liquid storage tank), a water pump (such as a first water pump, a second water pump and the like) and a heating device which are matched with the air conditioner, the indoor unit is cleaned by using the second temperature water and the detergent.

For example: in the self-cleaning air conditioner, a water collecting tank 1 is arranged, a first water pump 2 and a second water pump 9 are arranged at two ends of the water collecting tank 1, a reservoir 4 is arranged below the first water pump 2, and a liquid storage tank 8 is arranged below the second water pump 9. A temperature sensing device 3 and a heating device 5 are arranged in the water reservoir 4. A spraying device 10 is provided at the second water pump 9.

For example: in a first temperature water cleaning mode (such as a high-temperature cleaning mode) and a second temperature water and detergent cleaning mode (such as a warm water and detergent cleaning mode), proper water temperatures in different cleaning modes are judged through a temperature sensing device (or a temperature sensing bulb device), and the proper water temperature in self-cleaning of the indoor unit can be well controlled. By keeping proper water temperature and matching the detergent, the maximum effect of the detergent is exerted, the detergent is mixed and matched for use for many times, the cleaned water flow is discharged to the outside through the drainage device of the water pan 6, the evaporator of the indoor unit is ensured to be thoroughly cleaned, and the heat exchange efficiency of the indoor unit is improved.

From this, through under corresponding clean mode, through control and the water storage device, hold liquid device, heating device, water pump etc. that the air conditioner cooperation set up, realize under corresponding clean mode to the automatically cleaning of indoor set, promoted the clear convenience of air conditioner, and can guarantee clean effect, user experience is better.

In an alternative embodiment, after controlling the air conditioner to operate in the determined cleaning mode, the method may further include: and a process of controlling the operation process of the cleaning mode.

The following further describes a specific process for controlling the operation process of the cleaning mode with reference to a flowchart of an embodiment of controlling the operation process of the cleaning mode in the method of the present invention shown in fig. 5, which may include: step S510 to step S540.

And step S510, after the air conditioner is controlled to operate according to the determined cleaning mode, the current dirty parameters of the condensed water of the air conditioner are obtained again.

And step S520, determining whether the air conditioner still needs to be cleaned according to the acquired current dirty parameter of the condensed water.

And step S530, if the air conditioner still needs cleaning, continuing to control the air conditioner to operate according to the determined cleaning mode.

And step S540, if the air conditioner does not need cleaning, controlling the air conditioner to stop operating according to the determined cleaning mode.

For example: when the indoor unit is cleaned in a water cleaning mode (such as a clean water cleaning mode and a normal-temperature water cleaning mode), if the real-time contamination degree is greater than the contamination degree limit value A and less than or equal to the contamination degree limit value B (the contamination degree limit value B is greater than the contamination degree limit value A), the indoor unit is controlled to enter the clean water cleaning mode. And further, after the indoor unit is controlled to enter the clean water cleaning mode, continuously comparing the difference value between the real-time dirty degree and the dirty degree limit value A, if the difference value between the real-time dirty degree and the dirty degree limit value A is larger than 0, continuing cleaning until the difference value between the real-time dirty degree and the dirty degree limit value A is smaller than or equal to 0, and stopping the clean water self-cleaning mode.

For example: when the indoor unit is cleaned in a first temperature water cleaning mode (such as a high-temperature cleaning mode), after the indoor unit is controlled to enter a high-temperature clean water cleaning mode, comparing the difference between the real-time dirty degree and the dirty degree limit value A, and stopping the high-temperature clean water cleaning mode until the difference between the real-time dirty degree and the dirty degree limit value A is less than or equal to 0.

For example: when the real-time oil stain content is larger than an oil stain content limit value, specifically when the real-time oil stain content is larger than a first preset value C and is smaller than or equal to a second preset value D, the indoor unit is controlled to enter a clear water and detergent mixed cleaning mode or a high-temperature clear water cleaning mode until the difference between the oil stain content and the first preset value C is smaller than or equal to 0, and the self-cleaning mode is stopped. When the high-temperature clear water cleaning mode is entered, the heating device of the water storage mechanism needs to be started, heating is stopped until the water temperature of the water storage tank is higher than 90 degrees, and then the indoor unit is controlled to enter the high-temperature clear water cleaning mode by the aid of the stand horse. And after the indoor unit is controlled to enter a high-temperature clean water cleaning mode, comparing the difference value of the oil stain content and the first preset value C, and stopping the high-temperature clean water cleaning mode until the difference value of the oil stain content and the first preset value C is less than or equal to 0.

For example: and under the condition that the indoor unit is cleaned by utilizing a first temperature water cleaning mode (such as a high-temperature cleaning mode), when the real-time oil stain content is greater than the second preset value D, controlling the indoor unit to enter a warm water washing agent mixed cleaning mode. The method comprises the steps of acquiring real-time water temperature in a water storage mechanism, and comparing the real-time water temperature with a set water temperature value, wherein the set water temperature value ranges from 30 ℃ to 50 ℃. And stopping the mixing and cleaning mode of the warm water washing agent until the difference value of the oil stain content and the first preset value C is less than or equal to 0. If the washing machine enters a warm water and detergent mixed washing mode (namely a warm water and detergent washing mode), the heating device needs to be started, the water temperature is detected in real time, heating is stopped when the water temperature is higher than 50 ℃, and the warm water and detergent washing mode is started. And when the water temperature is less than or equal to 30 ℃, comparing the real-time oil stain content with the oil stain content limit value, and stopping the warm water and detergent cleaning mode when the difference value of the oil stain content and the first preset value C is less than or equal to 0.

Therefore, the cleaning effect is tracked and controlled by reacquiring the current dirty parameter of the condensed water of the air conditioner after the air conditioner is controlled to operate according to the determined cleaning mode, for example, the real-time dirty degree and the real-time oil stain content of the condensed water of the air conditioner indoor unit are respectively obtained and compared with the limit value, the corresponding self-cleaning mode of the air conditioner indoor unit can be dynamically adjusted, the time for the air conditioner indoor unit to enter the self-cleaning mode is dynamically adjusted, and the cleaning efficiency is ensured to achieve the maximum effect.

And step 12, if the turbidity degree of the condensed water is low, the self-cleaning mode is not started. And if the turbidity degree of the condensed water is general, starting a clear water cleaning mode. And if the turbidity degree of the condensed water is high, starting a heating device to carry out high-temperature cleaning.

And 13, if the oil stain content of the condensed water is general, starting a heating device to carry out high-temperature cleaning, or cleaning by using clean water and a detergent. If the oil stain content of the condensed water is low, the washing agent cleaning mode is not started, and the water cleaning mode or the first temperature water cleaning mode can be started. If the oil stain content of the condensed water is high, the heating device is started, the water temperature is controlled to be about 40 ℃, and meanwhile, the condensed water is cleaned by using warm water of about 40 ℃ and a detergent.
