Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control method for self-cleaning of an air conditioner, including the following steps:
and S101, acquiring the wind speed between a heat exchanger and a fan of the air conditioner under the condition that the air conditioner stably operates.
In practical application, when the dust accumulation degree of the heat exchanger is judged by utilizing the wind speed between the heat exchanger and the fan, the judgment is only carried out aiming at the wind speed obtained when the air conditioner stably operates, and the operation mode when the air conditioner stably operates can be a high-wind-gear refrigeration operation mode, a medium-wind-gear refrigeration operation mode or a low-wind-gear refrigeration operation mode. Since the wind speed between the heat exchanger and the fan is greatly influenced by the external environment when the air conditioner is in unstable operation (for example, the air conditioner is in a frequency release state), the wind speed between the heat exchanger and the fan cannot accurately reflect the dust accumulation degree of the heat exchanger at the moment.
Optionally, the heat exchanger comprises an indoor heat exchanger, and the fan comprises a cross-flow fan arranged in the indoor unit of the air conditioner; obtaining a wind speed between a heat exchanger and a fan of an air conditioner, comprising: obtaining a first wind speed of a first wind speed detection point between the indoor heat exchanger and the cross-flow fan; the first wind speed detection point is located in the middle of the cross-flow fan shell and is located in the middle between the cross-flow fan shell and the indoor heat exchanger; the first wind speed is determined to be a wind speed.
Considering that the wind speed at the air outlet of the cross-flow fan is easily influenced by the external environment, the wind speed between aluminum foils of the indoor heat exchanger cannot accurately reflect the integral dust accumulation degree of the indoor heat exchanger, the wind quantity at the casing of the cross-flow fan is small, the influence of the vortex of the cross-flow fan is small, and the wind speed is stable, so that the first wind speed detection point is arranged at the middle position of the casing of the cross-flow fan and the middle position between the casing of the cross-flow fan and the indoor heat exchanger, the detected wind speed is not easily influenced by the external environment, and the integral dust accumulation degree of the indoor heat exchanger can be more accurately reflected.
Optionally, the heat exchanger comprises an outdoor heat exchanger, and the fan comprises an axial flow fan arranged on the outdoor unit of the air conditioner; obtaining a wind speed between a heat exchanger and a fan of an air conditioner, comprising: obtaining a second wind speed of a second wind speed detection point between the outdoor heat exchanger and the axial flow fan; the second wind speed detection point is positioned on the surface of a fin of the outdoor heat exchanger; obtaining a third wind speed of a third wind speed detection point positioned between the outdoor heat exchanger and the axial flow fan; the third wind speed detection point is positioned at the rotating shaft of the axial flow fan; obtaining a fourth wind speed of a fourth wind speed detection point positioned between the outdoor heat exchanger and the axial flow fan; the fourth wind speed detection point is positioned in the middle between the surface of the fin of the outdoor heat exchanger and the rotating shaft of the axial flow fan; calculating to obtain the weighted wind speed of the second wind speed, the third wind speed and the fourth wind speed; and determining the weighted wind speed as the wind speed.
Because the wind speed between the outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner and the fan is greatly influenced by the external environment, a plurality of wind speed detection points are selected, and the wind speed between the outdoor heat exchanger and the axial flow fan is comprehensively determined through the wind speeds detected by the plurality of wind speed detection points. Considering that most dust accumulation points of the outdoor heat exchanger are accumulated at the fins, the air quantity at the rotating shaft of the axial flow fan is small, the influence of the vortex of the axial flow fan is small, and the air speed is stable, therefore, the three air speed detection points are respectively arranged at the surfaces of the fins of the outdoor heat exchanger, the rotating shaft of the axial flow fan and the middle position between the surfaces of the fins of the outdoor heat exchanger and the rotating shaft of the axial flow fan, so that the three air speed detection points are used for detecting and obtaining the weighted air speed, the weighted air speed is directly controlled by the dust accumulation degree of the outdoor heat exchanger, and the integral dust accumulation degree of the outdoor heat exchanger can be more.
Optionally, calculating a weighted wind speed for obtaining the second wind speed, the third wind speed and the fourth wind speed includes:
wherein T is the weight wind speed,
is the second wind speed weight coefficient, T2In the case of the second wind speed,
is the third wind speed weight coefficient, T3In the case of a third wind speed, the wind speed,
is a fourth wind speed weight coefficient, T4Is the fourth wind speed.
In the practical application of the method, the material is,
and is
The wind speed at the middle position between the surface of the fin of the outdoor heat exchanger and the rotating shaft of the axial flow fan can accurately reflect the dust accumulation degree of the outdoor heat exchanger, the fluctuation range of the wind speed is relatively small, and the wind speed value is relatively stable; the air quantity at the rotating shaft of the axial flow fan is the minimum, the influence of the vortex of the axial flow fan is small, and the air speed value is the most stable; and the wind speed at the surface of the fins of the outdoor heat exchanger can reflect the dust accumulation degree of the outdoor heat exchanger. Therefore, the weighting coefficients of the second wind speed, the third wind speed and the fourth wind speed are set according to the above manner, and the calculated weighting wind speed can more accurately reflect the dust accumulation degree of the whole outdoor heat exchanger.
And S102, determining the starting time of the self-cleaning operation of the air conditioner according to the first proportional relation between the wind speed and the preset wind speed.
Optionally, determining the starting time of the self-cleaning operation of the air conditioner according to a first proportional relation between the wind speed and a preset wind speed includes: calculating a first ratio of the wind speed to a preset wind speed; under the condition that the first ratio is within a first preset wind speed ratio range, determining the starting time as the current moment; and under the condition that the first ratio is in a second preset wind speed ratio range, determining the starting time as the moment when the self-cleaning control instruction is received.
The preset wind speed may be a wind speed between the heat exchanger and the fan detected under the same stable operation condition after the heat exchanger of the air conditioner completes one self-cleaning, for example, a wind speed between the heat exchanger and the fan detected by the air conditioner in a high-wind-gear cooling operation mode, a medium-wind-gear cooling operation mode or a low-wind-gear cooling operation mode. The first preset wind speed ratio range may be [0, 50% ], for example, 0, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, and the second preset wind speed ratio range may be (50%, 80% ], for example, 60%, 70%, 80%. when a first ratio of the wind speed between the heat exchanger and the fan to the preset wind speed is in the first preset wind speed ratio range, it indicates that there is an excessive accumulation of dust on the heat exchanger, the self-cleaning operation is immediately performed to avoid a large influence on the normal heat exchange of the air conditioner and the life health of the user, when the first ratio of the wind speed between the heat exchanger and the fan to the preset wind speed is in the second preset wind speed ratio range, it indicates that there is a dust accumulation on the heat exchanger (but there is no threat to the normal heat exchange of the air conditioner and the life health of the user), the self-cleaning prompt information is sent, and the self-cleaning operation is performed after the self-cleaning instruction sent by the user based on the self, the air conditioner is prevented from disturbing normal refrigerating or heating operation of the air conditioner due to the execution of self-cleaning operation, so that the use experience of a user is improved.
Optionally, determining a starting time of the self-cleaning operation of the air conditioner according to a first proportional relation between the wind speed and a preset wind speed, further comprising: under the condition that the first ratio is in a second preset wind speed ratio range and a self-cleaning control instruction is not received within a preset time length, obtaining a time interval from the air conditioner to the completion of the last self-cleaning operation; and under the condition that the time interval is greater than the preset time interval, determining the starting time as the current moment.
When the first ratio of the wind speed between the heat exchanger and the fan to the preset wind speed is in the second preset wind speed ratio range, the phenomenon of dust accumulation on the heat exchanger is indicated, self-cleaning prompt information is sent, if a self-cleaning control instruction sent by a user is not received within a preset time period, when the time interval from the completion of the last self-cleaning operation of the air conditioner is greater than a preset time interval (for example, 10 days or 15 days), the fact that the air conditioner does not carry out the self-cleaning operation for a long time is indicated, and in order to avoid the fact that the long-term accumulation of dust on the surface of the heat exchanger has great influence on the normal heat exchange of the air conditioner and the life.
And S103, controlling the air conditioner to execute self-cleaning operation according to the starting time.
And after the starting time of the self-cleaning operation of the air conditioner is determined, controlling the air conditioner to execute the self-cleaning operation according to the starting time.
In some practical applications, an indicator light is arranged on a filter screen of the air conditioner and used for prompting the dust deposition condition of the heat exchanger. When the ratio of the wind speed between the heat exchanger and the fan to the preset wind speed is in a first preset wind speed ratio range, the indicator lamp flickers in red to prompt a user that the heat exchanger is seriously dusted; when the ratio of the wind speed between the heat exchanger and the fan to the preset wind speed is in a second preset wind speed ratio range, the indicator lamp flickers in yellow to prompt a user that dust is accumulated on the heat exchanger; otherwise, the indicator light is green and always on, and the user is prompted that no dust is accumulated in the heat exchanger. Thus, the dust deposition condition of the heat exchanger is better known to a user.
By adopting the control method for self-cleaning of the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, when the fan of the air conditioner rotates, if the heat exchanger is free from dust accumulation, the air flow passing through the heat exchanger can be well circulated with the external environment, the wind speed between the heat exchanger and the fan is relatively large, when the heat exchanger accumulates more dust, the airflow penetrating the heat exchanger can not form circulation with the external environment well, the wind speed between the heat exchanger and the fan is relatively small, therefore, under the condition of stable operation of the air conditioner, determining the starting time of the self-cleaning operation of the air conditioner according to the first proportional relation between the wind speed between the heat exchanger and the fan of the air conditioner and the preset wind speed, and then the air conditioner is controlled to execute self-cleaning operation according to the starting time, so that the proper time for starting the self-cleaning of the air conditioner can be well determined, the good heating or refrigerating regulation of the air conditioner is ensured, and the use experience of a user is improved.
In some embodiments, the control method for air conditioner self-cleaning further includes: under the condition that the air conditioner stably operates, obtaining the ambient temperature between the heat exchanger and the fan; determining an execution mode of the self-cleaning operation of the air conditioner according to the first proportional relation and the second proportional relation between the ambient temperature and the preset temperature; and controlling the air conditioner to perform the self-cleaning operation according to the execution mode.
The preset temperature may be a temperature between the heat exchanger and the fan detected under the same stable operation condition after the heat exchanger of the air conditioner completes one self-cleaning, for example, a temperature between the heat exchanger and the fan detected by the air conditioner in a high-wind-gear cooling operation mode, a medium-wind-gear cooling operation mode or a low-wind-gear cooling operation mode. When the fan of the air conditioner rotates, if the heat exchanger does not accumulate dust, the heat exchanger can exchange heat with an external environment well, the ambient temperature between the heat exchanger and the fan is relatively high, and when the heat exchanger accumulates more dust, the heat exchanger cannot exchange heat with the external environment well, and the ambient temperature between the heat exchanger and the fan is relatively low.
Optionally, determining an execution mode of the self-cleaning operation of the air conditioner according to the first proportional relation and the second proportional relation between the ambient temperature and the preset temperature includes: calculating a first ratio of the wind speed to a preset wind speed and a second ratio of the ambient temperature to a preset temperature; determining that the execution mode is strong self-cleaning operation under the condition that the first ratio is in a first preset wind speed ratio range or the second ratio is in a first preset temperature ratio range; and under the condition that the first ratio is in a second preset wind speed ratio range and the second ratio is in a second preset temperature ratio range, determining that the execution mode is the common self-cleaning operation.
The first preset temperature ratio range can be [0, 50% ], for example, 0, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, and the second preset temperature ratio range can be (50%, 80% ], for example, 60%, 70%, 80%, taking the self-cleaning of the indoor unit of the air conditioner as an example, the self-cleaning operation of the air conditioner is mainly divided into a frost condensation stage and a defrosting stage, wherein, in the frost condensation stage, the air conditioner operates in a cooling mode in the early stage of frost condensation, moisture in indoor air is condensed on the surface of a heat exchanger of the indoor unit in the form of water drops, the air conditioner condenses the water drops condensed on the surface of the cooling heat exchanger in the early stage into a frost layer by increasing the amount of water, the frost layer is combined with dust on the surface of the heat exchanger and is peeled off, then the defrosting stage is entered, the air conditioner operates in a heating mode, the temperature of a coil of the indoor heat exchanger is increased, the frost layer is melted, the dust is also collected in a water receiving, and finishing the self-cleaning operation. The strong self-cleaning operation is long through the frost condensation of the increase self-cleaning operation frost later stage (that is long is longer than the frost condensation of ordinary self-cleaning operation) for the frost layer that the drop of water that condenses on the heat exchanger surface formed combines with the dust on heat exchanger surface to a great extent, thereby can promote the self-cleaning effect better.
The method comprises the steps of integrating a first proportional relation between the wind speed between a heat exchanger and a fan and a preset wind speed and a second proportional relation between the environment temperature between the heat exchanger and the fan and the preset temperature, jointly determining an execution mode of the air-conditioning self-cleaning operation, indicating that dust deposition of the heat exchanger of the air conditioner is serious under the condition that a first ratio is in a first preset wind speed ratio range or a second ratio is in a first preset temperature ratio range, determining that the execution mode is strong self-cleaning operation, indicating that dust deposition exists in the heat exchanger of the air conditioner under the condition that the first ratio is in a second preset wind speed ratio range and the second ratio is in a second preset temperature ratio range, and determining that the execution mode is ordinary self-cleaning operation. Like this, when promoting the clean effect of heat exchanger, shortened air conditioner self-cleaning time, guarantee the normal air conditioning of air conditioner as far as possible, promoted user's use and experienced.
In some embodiments, the control method for self-cleaning of the air conditioner further includes determining a stable operation of the air conditioner as follows: controlling the air conditioner to operate according to a preset operation mode; after the air conditioner operates for a preset time according to a preset operation mode, detecting temperature fluctuation on the surface of the heat exchanger; and determining the stable operation of the air conditioner under the condition that the temperature fluctuation is smaller than a preset fluctuation threshold value.
The preset operation mode is an operation mode in which the air conditioner can stably operate, and in the operation mode, the ambient temperature between the heater and the fan is less affected by the external environment, for example, the preset operation mode may be a high-wind-gear refrigeration operation mode, a medium-wind-gear refrigeration operation mode, or a low-wind-gear refrigeration operation mode. The preset time period is a time period from the start of heating or cooling to the time when the ambient temperature reaches the target temperature in a general case, and may be, for example, 10min to 20min (minutes). And after the air conditioner operates for a preset time according to a preset operation mode, detecting the temperature fluctuation of the surface of the heat exchanger, and determining the stable operation of the air conditioner under the condition that the temperature fluctuation is smaller than a preset fluctuation threshold value. The preset fluctuation threshold may be set to a value in the range of [2 ℃ C., 5 ℃ C ], for example, 2 ℃ C. (centigrade), 3 ℃ C., 4 ℃ C., 5 ℃ C.
In some embodiments, the control method for air conditioner self-cleaning further includes: after the air conditioner is controlled to finish one-time self-cleaning operation, obtaining the ambient temperature change rate between the heat exchanger and the fan in a preset time period after the air conditioner is started to operate; and controlling whether the air conditioner executes the self-cleaning operation again or not according to the magnitude relation between the ambient temperature change rate and the preset temperature change rate.
Here, the preset temperature change rate may be an ambient temperature change rate between the heat exchanger and the fan within a preset time period (for example, 5 to 10min after starting) after the start operation of the air conditioner is detected when it is determined that no dust is accumulated in the heat exchanger in the early stage test process. In a preset time period after the air conditioner is started and operated, due to the fact that dust of the heat exchanger is accumulated to influence the heat exchange coefficient of the heat exchanger, the ambient temperature change rate between the heat exchanger and the fan when dust accumulation exists in the air conditioner heat exchanger is smaller than the ambient temperature change rate between the heat exchanger and the fan when no dust accumulation exists in the air conditioner heat exchanger. Therefore, whether the air conditioner executes the self-cleaning operation again is controlled according to the magnitude relation between the environmental temperature change rate and the preset temperature change rate, and incomplete cleaning of the self-cleaning operation is avoided.
Optionally, controlling whether the air conditioner performs the self-cleaning operation again according to a magnitude relation between the ambient temperature change rate and a preset temperature change rate, including: controlling the air conditioner to execute the self-cleaning operation again under the condition that the ambient temperature change rate is smaller than the preset temperature change rate; and controlling the air conditioner to finish the self-cleaning operation under the condition that the ambient temperature change rate is greater than or equal to the preset temperature change rate.
When the environmental temperature change rate is smaller than the preset temperature change rate, indicating that the dust accumulation phenomenon still exists in the heat exchanger, and controlling the air conditioner to execute self-cleaning operation again, wherein the self-cleaning operation is not thorough; when the ambient temperature change rate is greater than or equal to the preset temperature change rate, the dust accumulation phenomenon of the heat exchanger is indicated to be temporarily absent, the self-cleaning operation is relatively thorough, and the air conditioner is controlled to finish the self-cleaning operation. Thus, the degree of cleaning of the air conditioner self-cleaning operation can be improved.
