Air conditioning unit and defrosting control method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of air conditioners, and particularly relates to an air conditioner unit and a defrosting control method thereof.
Background
The air conditioning unit comprises an indoor unit, an outdoor unit and a refrigerant circulation loop connected between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit, wherein the refrigerant continuously exchanges heat between the outdoor unit and the indoor unit through the refrigerant circulation loop. Taking an example when the air conditioning unit operates under a heating working condition, the coil pipe of the outdoor unit is always in a lower temperature state, and the outdoor temperature is also lower; at this time, if the outdoor environment has higher humidity, the coil of the outdoor unit is easy to generate frosting, and the heat exchange efficiency of the outdoor unit is also rapidly reduced along with continuous frosting, and the wind resistance is increased, so that the heating capacity of the whole air conditioning unit is continuously attenuated. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly monitor whether the coil of the outdoor unit has frosted during the operation of the air conditioning unit under the heating condition, and to select a proper time to enter the defrosting mode so as to avoid unnecessary energy loss.
When the existing air conditioning unit judges defrosting time, the judging modes of the existing air conditioning unit are not correspondingly distinguished according to different conditions of outdoor temperature, so that the problem of inaccurate judging results is easily caused. Specifically, when the air conditioning unit heats in an ultra-low temperature environment, the outdoor ambient temperature and humidity are often low, and the evaporation temperature is also low, thus causing a problem that it is difficult to accurately judge the frosting condition through the coil temperature. In other words, under the condition that the outdoor ambient temperature is very low and the humidity is very low, misjudgment is easy to occur to the air conditioning unit, so that the air conditioning unit enters unnecessary false defrosting, the heating performance of the air conditioning unit is frequently influenced, and the heat exchange efficiency of the air conditioning unit and the comfort level of a user are seriously influenced.

Next, in step S102, the controller can determine whether the current outdoor temperature acquired in step S101 is less than or equal to the preset outdoor temperature, so as to determine whether the outdoor unit is operated in an ultralow temperature environment. It should be noted that, the specific value of the preset outdoor temperature is not limited in the present invention, and the skilled person can set the preset outdoor temperature according to the actual use requirement, preferably, the preset outdoor temperature can be set according to the local humidity condition.

It should be noted that, the specific value of the third preset duration is not limited in the invention, and the technician can set the value according to the actual use requirement; preferably, the third preset duration is smaller than the sixth preset duration.
Based on the determination result of step S110, if the first ratio is greater than the first preset ratio, step S113 is performed, that is, the controller further obtains the air outlet temperature of the outdoor unit.
Further, in step S114, the controller calculates a ratio of the preset difference to a difference between the current outdoor temperature and the outlet air temperature of the outdoor unit, and records the ratio as a second ratio. As a preferred setting manner, the controller may obtain the air outlet temperature of the outdoor unit and obtain the outdoor temperature at least once more than once within a fifth preset time period after the last defrosting of the air conditioning unit is completed, and calculate a difference between the outdoor temperature and an average value of the air outlet temperatures of the plurality of outdoor units, that is, the preset difference. If the outdoor temperature is obtained only once within the fifth preset time period after the last defrosting of the air conditioning unit is finished, calculating the difference value between the outdoor temperature and the average value of the air outlet temperatures of the plurality of outdoor units; and if the outdoor temperatures are acquired for a plurality of times within a fifth preset time period after the last defrosting of the air conditioning unit is finished, calculating the difference value between the average value of the outdoor temperatures and the average value of the air outlet temperatures of the outdoor units. Preferably, the fifth preset duration is set to 10min, that is, within 10min after the last defrosting of the air conditioning unit is finished, the controller can acquire the air outlet temperature of the outdoor unit and acquire the outdoor temperature at least once for multiple times, and calculate the difference between the outdoor temperature and the average value of the air outlet temperatures of the outdoor units, that is, the preset difference. In addition, the specific value of the fifth preset duration and the number of times of obtaining the air outlet temperature of the outdoor unit may be set by a technician according to the actual use requirement, which is not limited.
Further preferably, the air outlet temperature of the outdoor unit adopted in the step is also an average value of multiple values within a preset time range before the current time, preferably an average value within 3min is adopted, that is, the air outlet temperature of the outdoor unit is an average value of the air outlet temperature of the outdoor unit within 3min before the current time, firstly, a difference value between the current outdoor temperature and the average value of the air outlet temperature is calculated, and then, a ratio of the preset difference value to the difference value is calculated and is recorded as a second ratio. Of course, the technician can set the acquisition times when calculating the average value according to the actual use requirement.
Next, in step S115, the controller can determine whether the second ratio is greater than the second preset ratio, so as to perform different operations accordingly. It should be noted that, the present invention does not limit the value of the second preset ratio; as a preferable setting value, the second preset ratio is set to 2 so as to improve the accuracy of judgment to the greatest extent.
Based on the judgment result in the step S115, if the second ratio is smaller than or equal to the second preset ratio, executing a step S116, that is, the controller further obtains the duration of the current heating operation of the air conditioning unit, and based on this, in a step S117, if the duration of the current heating operation of the air conditioning unit reaches the fourth preset duration, operating the air conditioning unit in a defrosting mode; otherwise, the defrost mode is not operated. It should be noted that, the present invention does not limit the specific value of the fourth preset duration, and the technician can set the value according to the actual use requirement; preferably, the fourth preset duration is smaller than the third preset duration.
Based on the determination result of step S115, if the second ratio is greater than the second preset ratio, step S118 is performed, that is, the controller can enable the air conditioning unit to operate in a defrosting mode, so that on the basis of avoiding occurrence of a false defrosting phenomenon, the problem that the air conditioning unit does not defrost in time can be effectively avoided
