The air conditioner noise of air-out is great from top to bottom at present, influences user experience. The invention provides the overall logic of a noise optimization control method, which is determined by matching the rotation speeds of an upper fan and a lower fan of an internal machine of an upper air outlet air conditioner and a lower air outlet air conditioner with the optimization control method, and provides the determination logic of a target noise value and an optimal operation parameter. When the noise self-adaptive function is started, if a user has a temperature adjustment input action, the control method also specifically introduces how to be compatible, and how to ensure the reliability and the man-machine interaction of the control method.
To further illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, the following specific examples are provided as shown in fig. 1 to 5.
Example 1
As shown in fig. 1, in this embodiment, a noise control method suitable for an air conditioner with upper and lower outlets is provided, and the noise control method includes: collecting an outer ring noise value of an air conditioner; calculating a final target noise value in the operation of the air conditioner according to the outer ring noise value, the current operation mode of the air conditioner and the historical temperature regulation action; acquiring the optimal operation parameters of the air conditioner according to the final target noise value; and controlling the air conditioner to operate according to the optimal operation parameters. The outer ring noise value is obtained by measuring the noise of the environment where the air conditioner is located, and includes the noise generated by the fan, the compressor and other devices of the air conditioner and other noise in the environment.
The control method can be suitable for air conditioners with air discharged from the upper part and the lower part, and can be used as a noise self-adaptive function to be introduced into products. In this embodiment, collecting the outer loop noise value of the air conditioner includes: after the air conditioner starts the noise self-adaptive mode, detecting the environment where the air conditioner is located by taking preset time as a period and acquiring environment noise; and calculating to obtain the average value of the outer ring noise in the period according to the environmental noise. As shown in fig. 2, preferably, the outer ring noise value of the air conditioner is continuously detected, and with 10min as a period, the average value of the outer ring noise in the period is calculated, that is, the ambient noise can be detected in real time by using the microphone or collector of the air conditioner itself, the average value of the ambient noise is fed back to the controller every 10min, and the controller adjusts the operation parameters in real time according to the change of the average value, so that the noise optimization strategy is adapted to the use environment.
In some optional manners, calculating the final target noise value according to the outer ring noise value and the current operation mode and the historical temperature adjusting action of the air conditioner comprises: the air conditioner records the temperature adjusting action of the air conditioner in the running process; detecting the current operation mode of the air conditioner; and obtaining a final target noise value according to the average value of the outer ring noise, the current running mode and the temperature regulation action. Specifically, after a user selects to start the noise self-adaptive function, the noise optimization control method starts to be executed, and the microphone or collector of the air conditioner is utilized to collect the whole environmental noise in real time and feed the whole environmental noise back to the controller; after a reasonable target noise value is obtained according to the outer ring noise value, the optimal operation parameters, namely the rotating speed of the inner machine fan, the rotating speed of the outer machine fan and the frequency of the outer machine compressor, are obtained through preset data processing logic. The mode makes optimization improvement aiming at the phenomenon that the upper air blower and the lower air blower of the inner machine of the air conditioner with upper air outlet and lower air outlet can generate mutual disturbance of air flows, and avoids the deterioration of noise and air volume.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the user inputs a control method in the temperature adjustment operation. The user has the input action of adjusting the temperature, shows that it has specific requirements to the air conditioner heat transfer ability, and the noise optimization control method should be compatible with the user's demand of adjusting the temperature this moment, guarantees user experience and feels. Correspondingly, obtaining the final target noise value according to the average value of the outer ring noise, the current running mode and the temperature regulation action comprises the following steps:
determining a preset noise interval in which the average value of the outer ring noise is positioned and outputting an initial target noise value according to the preset noise interval;
when the current operation mode of the air conditioner is judged to be a refrigeration mode and no temperature regulation action exists within the preset historical time, directly determining an initial target noise value as a final target noise value;
when the current operation mode of the air conditioner is judged to be a refrigeration mode and temperature regulation action exists in preset historical time, if the temperature regulation action is temperature reduction, the final target noise value is equal to the initial target noise value plus a first preset noise difference value; if the temperature adjusting action is temperature adjustment, the final target noise value is equal to the initial target noise value-a first preset noise difference value; wherein the first preset noise difference value is greater than 0;
when the current operation mode of the air conditioner is judged to be a heating mode and no temperature regulation action exists within a preset historical time, directly determining an initial target noise value as the final target noise value;
when the current operation mode of the air conditioner is judged to be a heating mode and temperature adjusting action exists in preset historical time, if the temperature adjusting action is temperature lowering, the final target noise value is equal to the initial target noise value-a second preset noise difference value; if the temperature adjusting action is temperature adjustment, the final target noise value is equal to the initial target noise value plus a second preset noise difference value; wherein the second predetermined noise difference value is greater than 0.
In this embodiment, the initial noise target value is used as a link between the environmental noise value and the final noise target value, and is not a single feedback. Preferably, the control method divides the external input noise value into 3 sections according to the size, and the method for calculating the final noise target value in each section is different. If it is higher to gather ambient noise, explain that the user is in the environment that has certain noise, at this moment, the noise of air conditioner itself needn't optimize to minimum, and further optimization can not bring obvious experience for the user and feel, and leaves certain surplus and can guarantee air conditioner heat transfer ability, and the user wholly uses the travelling comfort to promote. Furthermore, the noise value input by the environment is reasonably divided according to the interval, and the final noise target value is obtained according to the operation action of the user. The two-stage hierarchical optimization ensures the reasonability of the final target value.
Specifically, determining a preset noise interval in which the average value of the outer ring noise is located and outputting an initial target noise value according to the preset noise interval includes: when the average value of the outer ring noise is smaller than a first preset noise value, determining that the initial target noise value is the average value of the outer ring noise and a first preset noise correction value; when the first preset noise value is smaller than the outer ring noise average value and is not larger than the second preset noise value, determining that the initial target noise value is the outer ring noise average value-a second preset noise correction value; when the average value of the outer ring noise is larger than a second preset noise value, determining that the initial target noise value is a second preset noise correction value; wherein the first predetermined noise modification value > the second predetermined noise modification value > 0. Preferably, the first predetermined noise value is 25dB, the second predetermined noise value is 40dB, the first predetermined noise correction value is 6dB, and the second predetermined noise correction value is 4 dB.
In this embodiment, obtaining the optimal operating parameter of the air conditioner according to the final target noise value includes: and respectively acquiring the optimal upper fan rotating speed, the optimal lower fan rotating speed, the optimal outer fan rotating speed and the optimal compressor frequency of the air conditioner according to the final target noise value. Based on the control method, the noise can be optimized, and simultaneously, the heat exchange capacity of the air conditioner is ensured, so that the overall use comfort of a user is improved.
For an air conditioner with upper air outlet and lower air outlet, when an upper fan and a lower fan are matched at different rotating speeds, mutual interference of flow fields of the upper fan and the lower fan can occur to form surge, so that the phenomena of negative noise optimization and air volume reduction are caused. In order to avoid the situation, after the air conditioner with upper and lower air outlets receives a noise optimization instruction, the rotating speed of the fan cannot be simply reduced, and the matching value of the rotating speeds of the upper and lower fans needs to be set in advance. Meanwhile, for the air conditioner with upper and lower air outlets, the air inlet fan or the air outlet fan is determined by refrigeration or heating, and the rotating speed of the air outlet fan limits the rotating speed of the air inlet fan. Therefore, the matching of the rotating speed is also divided according to the specific using state. Preferably, in the process of obtaining the optimal upper fan rotating speed and the optimal lower fan rotating speed according to the final target noise value, the optimal upper fan rotating speed and the optimal lower fan rotating speed are determined by a critical point determination method.
In this embodiment, when the operation mode of the air conditioner is the refrigeration mode, an air supply mode of lower air inlet and upper air outlet is adopted; when the operation mode of the air conditioner is a heating mode, an air supply mode of upper air inlet and lower air outlet is adopted. In addition, it should be noted that the air conditioner also has other conventional functions of an air conditioner with upper and lower air outlets, such as a default operation program and an automatic temperature adjustment program. And when the air conditioner does not start the noise self-adaptive mode, the air conditioner responds to the received operation instruction to execute a corresponding operation program or operates according to default operation parameters.
The invention provides a noise optimization control method adaptive to an air conditioner with upper air outlet and lower air outlet, namely noise self-adaptive optimization logic. The air conditioner acquires an appropriate target noise value by collecting the environmental noise value, calculates the optimal operation parameter of the air conditioner through a prestored target function, and operates according to the parameter combination. The noise is optimized, the heat exchange capacity of the air conditioner and the operability of a user are ensured, and the integral use feeling of the user is improved. Meanwhile, the optimization method of the invention makes a specific optimization strategy aiming at the air conditioner with upper and lower air outlets, and the optimization method is more reasonable and specific.
Example 2
In the present embodiment, an air conditioner is provided. The air conditioner includes a controller configured to implement any one of the above noise control methods. After the user starts the noise self-adaptive mode, the air conditioner collects the environmental noise value to obtain the final target noise value, calculates the optimal operation parameter through the pre-stored target function, and operates according to the parameter.
After the user starts the noise self-adaptive mode, the air conditioner calculates the environmental noise value in real time through a microphone or a collector of the air conditioner, feeds back the average value D of the external noise to the controller every 10min, can update the average value D of the external noise at regular time, and can ensure the accuracy of noise optimization.
After receiving the average value D of the environmental noise, the air conditioner controller carries out interval judgment on the average value D in order to optimize the accuracy of the final noise target value and ensure the heat exchange capability of the air conditioner. For example, three intervals are set according to the bearing range of human body to sound and the division of noise value in the relevant standard, D is less than or equal to 25dB, D is more than 25dB and less than or equal to 40dB, and D is more than 40 dB. When the fed-back external noise average value D is less than or equal to 25dB, the external noise is smaller, and the self noise of the air conditioner needs to be optimized to a greater extent to ensure the optimization effect of the noise of the air conditioner. Therefore, the output initial target noise value a-D-6 dB is defined. Similarly, when the average value D of the ambient noise is more than 40dB, the user is indicated to be in a relatively noisy environment, the self noise of the air conditioner is optimized to a large extent and the auditory effect of the user is not improved obviously, and the optimization degree of the self noise of the air conditioner can be reduced at the moment, for example, the initial target noise value A is required to be 40dB, namely, the initial target noise value A is kept near the noise standard limit value, the air conditioner can ensure higher heat exchange capacity, and the overall use comfort of the user is improved.
After the initial target noise value a is obtained, a final target noise value B is determined according to an air conditioner operation mode and whether a user has a temperature adjustment input action. For example, the following steps are carried out: if the first preset noise difference value and the second preset noise difference value are set to be 1dB, the preset historical time length is 30 min.
In the cooling mode, if the user lowers the set temperature within 30min, the final target noise value B becomes a +1 dB. The user will set the temperature to turn down under the refrigeration mode, shows that it has higher requirement to the heat transfer capacity of air conditioner. The fact that the heat exchange capacity is enhanced means that the rotating speed of a motor of the air conditioner and the frequency of a compressor are increased, and the noise value of the air conditioner is increased inevitably, so that the final target noise value needs to be properly increased to adapt to the change of operating parameters such as the rotating speed of the motor. The invention defines B as A +1dB, aims to adapt to the requirement of a user on the heat exchange capacity of the air conditioner, ensures that a noise optimization program does not conflict with the operation action of the user, and simultaneously realizes noise optimization and temperature regulation. The solution provided by the invention ensures the reliability and rationality of the control method. Similarly, in the heating mode, if the user lowers the set temperature within 30min, the final target noise value B becomes a-1 dB. In the heating mode, a user adjusts the set temperature to be low, which indicates that the requirement on the heat exchange capacity of the air conditioner is reduced, so that the rotating speed of a motor of the air conditioner and the frequency of a compressor are reduced to a certain extent, and the noise of the air conditioner is reduced, therefore, the final target noise value B is defined to be A-1 dB. In other words, the control method converts the allowance of the heat exchange capacity into the noise optimization value while being compatible with the input action of the user, namely, the noise self-adaption is realized.
And after the final target noise value B is obtained, calculating optimal operation parameters (including the rotating speed X of the upper fan, the rotating speed Y of the lower fan, the rotating speed Z of the outer fan and the operating frequency H of the compressor) through a target function and a database which are pre-stored in the controller, and performing combined operation according to the parameters. Therefore, the establishment of the objective function and the database is also an important ring.
The rotation speed collocation of the upper fan and the lower fan adopts a critical point determination method. When the air conditioner executes the noise optimization control program, the logical relationship of each unit in the air conditioning system is as shown in fig. 5. For the air conditioner with upper and lower air outlets, the wind fields generated by the upper and lower motors can affect each other, and when noise optimization is carried out, the rotating speeds of the upper and lower fans cannot be simply reduced, and the rotating speed matching of the upper and lower fans needs to be considered so as to avoid negative optimization of noise and air volume. Therefore, the rotating speeds of the upper fan and the lower fan are in a limiting relation, when a target function is set, enough data samples are collected in advance according to different operation modes of the air conditioner, the rotating speed collocation of the upper fan and the lower fan with the optimal noise is found, and a database which can be stored in advance and read is formed for later calling.
In the cooling mode, for an air conditioner with upper and lower air outlets, the upper air outlet is an air outlet, the lower air outlet is an air inlet, and generally speaking, the rotating speed of a fan at the air outlet is greater than that of a fan at the air inlet. When the air conditioner enters the noise self-adaptive mode, the rotating speeds of the upper fan and the lower fan are reduced. The flow field of the air inlet fan with lower rotating speed is easily influenced by the air outlet fan with higher rotating speed, so that the noise is not reduced and increased. As shown in fig. 4, in the cooling mode, the rotation speed of the lower fan (air inlet fan) is a fixed value, and as the rotation speed of the upper fan (air outlet fan) increases, the noise and the air volume gradually increase, and after the rotation speed is higher than a critical point, the flow field of the upper air inlet has an obvious influence on the flow field of the lower air inlet, the flow field inside the air duct is disturbed, the noise of the air conditioner rapidly increases, and the air volume greatly decreases. It can be seen that at the critical point, the air conditioner has relatively low noise and large air volume. Therefore, the critical point of the matching of the rotating speeds of the upper fan and the lower fan is that the noise is self-optimizedThe mode needs a certain point, and meanwhile, the rotating speed critical point is not fixed and is related to the rotating speed of the air outlet fan. Generally, the higher the rotation speed of the air inlet is, the stronger the anti-interference capability is, and the critical point moves backwards correspondingly, that is, the higher the rotation speed of the corresponding air outlet is, so in fig. 4, d is greater than c. The determination of the parameters can be realized by collecting data in advance through experiments, traversing all rotating speed combinations according to the rotating speed adjustable range and the adjusting step of the fan, collecting enough data by taking an attached table 1 as an example, and fitting to obtain the rotating speed determining formats of the upper fan and the lower fan. In the cooling mode, the upper fan (outlet fan) rotation speed x is set manually and is considered as an independent variable, so that the lower fan (inlet fan) rotation speed y is equal to Ax3+Bx2+Cx+D。
In the heating mode, for an air conditioner with upper air outlet and lower air outlet, the upper air inlet is an air inlet, and the lower air inlet is an air outlet. At the moment, the rotating speed of the lower air inlet fan is an independent variable x, and a formula can be obtained by collecting data and fitting through the method.

And determining the noise and the optimal operation parameters of each execution unit.
Taking refrigeration as an example, after the free rotation speed collocation of an upper fan and a lower fan is determined, the following functions are defined, namely upper fan noise f (x), lower fan noise f (y), outer fan noise f (z) and compressor operation noise f (H).

1)f(x)=ax2+bx+c;2)f(y)=ny2+oy+p;3)f(z)=qz2+rz+s;4)f(H)=tH2+uH+v。
Therefore, the final target noise value B ═ alpha f (x) + beta f (y)) + delta f (z)) + vf (H) + k can be set, the optimal operation parameters (x, y, z and H) can be obtained according to the required final target noise value B and a preset target function, and the air conditioner operates according to the parameters, so that the noise is optimized, a certain heat exchange capacity is ensured, and the overall comfort is improved.

For heating, the optimal operating parameters can be determined by the above logic.
