Background
Condensed water is generated in the operation process of the air conditioner and is discharged to the outside through a drain pipe after being collected by a water channel. With the prolonged use time, the water channel is in a humid and warm environment suitable for the growth of bacterial mold for a long time, the mass propagation of the bacterial mold can affect the quality of indoor air on one hand, and the existence of the microorganisms can generate a biological film and form biological slime over time on the other hand. The biological slime can protect microorganisms such as bacteria and the like in the biological slime from the external environment including antibacterial agents and the like. Moreover, the combined action of the biological slime and the water channel dust can further increase the pollution and filth blockage of the air conditioner.

Example 1
In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method embodiment of a control method of an air conditioner, it is noted that the steps illustrated in the flowchart of the drawings may be performed in a computer system, such as a set of computer executable instructions, and that while a logical order is illustrated in the flowchart, in some cases the steps illustrated or described may be performed in an order different than that presented herein.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a control method of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the control method of the air conditioner including the steps of:
and S102, determining that the water channel of the air conditioner meets the water channel purification condition.
In this embodiment, whether the water channel of the air conditioner satisfies the water channel purification condition may be determined, that is, whether the generation condition of the bio-slime in the water channel of the air conditioner may be determined by the operation duration of the air conditioner and the predetermined component in the air conditioner, and then whether the water channel of the air conditioner needs to be purified may be determined, so that the microbes such as bacteria in the bio-slime and on the surface of the bio-slime in the water channel of the air conditioner may be killed at a good time, and the reliability of killing the microbes such as bacteria in the bio-slime and on the surface of the bio-slime may be improved.
As an alternative embodiment, determining that the water channel of the air conditioner satisfies the water channel purification condition includes: determining that the air conditioner is in a power-on state; acquiring a first accumulated running time of the air conditioner; and determining that the first accumulated operation time length is greater than or equal to a first preset time length, and determining that the water channel of the air conditioner meets the water channel purification condition.
For example, after the air conditioner is powered on to operate, the air conditioner operation time period T1 (i.e., the first accumulated operation time period) may be detected, and whether water channel purification is required may be determined; specifically, when T1 is less than T2, that is, the air conditioner operation time period T1 is less than the preset operation time period T2 (that is, the first preset time period), it indicates that the air conditioner is operated for a short time, no biofilm problem is generated, and water channel purification is not required; if not, the air conditioner continues to perform the next purification judgment, namely when the T1 is more than or equal to the T2, namely the air conditioner operation time T1 is more than or equal to the preset operation time T2, the air conditioner is indicated to have been operated for a long time, the problem of biological membrane pollution is easily caused, water channel purification needs to be performed, the further development of the biological membrane is eliminated, and therefore the air conditioner needs to perform water channel purification operation according to a water channel purification mode.
Optionally, obtaining the first accumulated operating time of the air conditioner includes: acquiring a second accumulated running time of a motor of the air conditioner; the first cumulative operating period is determined based on the second cumulative operating period.
That is, in the embodiment of the present invention, the operation time period T1 of the air conditioner may be determined by the operation time of the motor of the air conditioner.
In addition, in the embodiment of the invention, the operation time T2E [0, 48] of the air conditioner is preset and is in the unit of hours.
As an optional embodiment, the control method of the air conditioner may further include: determining that the first accumulated operation time length is less than a first preset operation time length, and acquiring the latest historical purification time of the air conditioner, wherein the latest historical purification time is the time for the air conditioner to execute the water channel purification operation according to the water channel purification mode last time; determining the interval duration between the recent historical purification time and the current time; and determining that the interval duration is greater than or equal to a second preset duration, and determining that the water channel of the air conditioner meets the water channel purification condition.
For example, when the operation time period T1 of the air conditioner is determined to be less than the preset operation time period T2, the interval time period T3 (i.e., interval time period) from the last purification of the air conditioner may be detected, and whether the purification of the water channel is required or not may be determined; specifically, when T3 is less than T4 (i.e., the second preset time period), it indicates that the air conditioner has a short time from the last purification, and the problem of biofilm pollution is not generated temporarily; if the judgment result is no, namely when T3 is more than or equal to T4, the air conditioner is long in time from the last purification, the air conditioner may have biological slime pollution again, and the water channel purification needs to be carried out again.
Optionally, obtaining the recent historical purification time of the air conditioner includes: acquiring a third accumulated running time of the ionizer; the recent historical purge time is determined based on the third accumulated length of operation.
That is, the air conditioner cleaning interval duration T3, can be detected by the ionizer operation time.
In addition, the preset air conditioner purification interval time length T4 ∈ [0, 720] is in units of hours.
And step S104, controlling the air conditioner to enter a water channel purification mode, and starting an ion generator arranged in the air conditioner in the water channel purification mode so as to purify a water channel of the air conditioner by using the ion generator.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the invention, when the water channel of the air conditioner meets the water channel purification condition, the air conditioner is controlled to enter the water channel purification mode, the ion generator arranged in the air conditioner is started in the water channel purification mode, so that the water channel of the air conditioner is purified by the ion generator, the growth condition of biological slime such as the water channel in the air conditioner can be automatically judged when the air conditioner operates, the water channel is sterilized through the voltage regulation of the ion generator, and the technical effect of improving the thoroughness of sterilizing the water channel of the indoor unit of the air conditioner is achieved.
Therefore, the control method of the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the invention solves the technical problem that the biological slime in the drainage channel of the air conditioner cannot be thoroughly cleaned in the related technology, so that the biological slime and the dust in the drainage channel can easily act together to pollute the air conditioner.
In the step S104, controlling the air conditioner to enter a water channel purification mode, and turning on an ionizer provided in the air conditioner in the water channel purification mode to purify a water channel of the air conditioner by the ionizer, includes: controlling the air deflector and the wind shield of the air conditioner to be closed; the ionizer is controlled to enter a first discharge mode so that the ionizer generates a predetermined active substance and purifies a water course of the air conditioner with the predetermined active substance.
For example, when it is determined that the waterway purification mode needs to be operated, the air conditioner performs the following operations:
1) controlling the air deflector and the wind shield to be in a closed state;
2) the ionizer is controlled to turn on a high-voltage discharge mode (i.e., a first discharge mode) for a certain time t1 (i.e., a third predetermined time in the context) of in-machine purification by ions. Wherein, the high voltage value U1 is more than 3000V, and t1 is less than 10 min.
After the ion generator is started in the high-voltage discharge mode, the ion generator can generate a large amount of positive and negative ions with oxidation sterilization effect, free radicals and other substances due to high-voltage discharge, and the active substances can react with bacteria on the surface of a water channel biological membrane (biological slime) of the air conditioner to inactivate and die the bacteria, so that the effects of purifying surface bacteria and inhibiting the biological membrane are achieved.
As an optional embodiment, the control method of the air conditioner may further include: determining that the ionizer is operating in the first discharge mode for a third predetermined period of time; and controlling the ion generator to enter a second discharge mode, and generating an electric field by using the ion generator so as to purify the water channel of the air conditioner, wherein the voltage under the first discharge mode is greater than that under the second discharge mode.
For example, the ionizer is controlled to turn on a low-voltage discharge mode (i.e., a second discharge mode) for a certain time T2 (i.e., a fourth predetermined time period in the context) through electric field cooperative antibacterial purge, wherein the low-voltage value U2 is related to the purge time period T2 and the air conditioner operation time period T1 and interval purge time period T3, i.e., U2 ═ f (T1, T3, T2), U2<220V, and T2<10 min.
When the ion generator is started in the low-voltage discharge mode, the ion generator cannot generate high-voltage discharge, but can generate a weak electric field in the air conditioner. The existence of the electric field can improve the mass transfer rate of the antibacterial agent entering the bacterial biomembrane or the biological slime, accelerate the diffusion process of the antibacterial agent, ensure that the antibacterial agent can quickly cross the barrier of the biomembrane to reach the deep part of the biomembrane, completely eliminate the bacteria in the biomembrane, and inhibit and eliminate the biomembrane.
As an optional embodiment, the control method of the air conditioner may further include: determining that the ionizer is operating in the second discharge mode for a fourth predetermined period of time; and controlling the air conditioner to exit the water channel purification mode.
For example, when it is detected that the air conditioner operates in the second discharge mode for the fourth predetermined time period, the waterway purification mode may be ended, the air conditioner may resume to operate normally, or separate in-machine air purification or out-of-machine air purification may be performed as needed.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of an alternative control method of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is described below with reference to fig. 2 in an embodiment, and includes the following steps:
and S21, powering on the air conditioner for operation.
And S22, detecting the running time T1 of the air conditioner and judging whether the water channel purification is needed.
When T1 is less than T2, namely the air conditioner operation time T1 is less than the preset operation time T2, the operation and use time of the air conditioner is short, the problem of biological membranes is avoided, the water channel purification is not needed, and the judgment is negative. The air conditioner continues to execute the next purification judgment;
when T1 is more than or equal to T2, namely the operation time T1 of the air conditioner is more than or equal to the preset operation time T2, the problem that the air conditioner is operated for a long time and is easy to generate the pollution of the biological membrane is shown, the water channel purification is needed, and the further development of the biological membrane is eliminated. That is, the air conditioner performs a waterway purification mode.
S23, detecting the time interval T3 between the air conditioner and the last purification, and judging whether the water channel purification is needed;
when T3 is less than T4, the air conditioner is short in time of last purification, the problem of biofilm pollution cannot be caused temporarily, and the judgment is negative;
when T3 is more than or equal to T4, the air conditioner is long in time from the last purification, the air conditioner may be polluted by biological slime again, and the water channel needs to be purified again.
S24, when it is judged that the waterway purification mode needs to be operated, the air conditioner performs the following operations:
s241, controlling the air deflector and the air baffle to be in a closed state;
and S242, controlling the ionizer to start a high-voltage discharge mode, and purifying in the ionizer for a certain time t1 through ions.
And S243, controlling the ionizer to start a low-voltage discharge mode, and purifying for a certain time t2 by the cooperation of the electric field and the antibacterial agent.
And S25, ending the water channel purification mode, recovering the normal operation of the air conditioner, and performing independent internal air purification or external air purification according to the requirement.
As can be seen from the above, in the control method of the air conditioner provided in the embodiment of the present invention, in order to solve the problem that the microorganisms such as bacteria in the water channel are hidden inside the biological slime and cannot be killed by the antibacterial agent, the growth condition of the biological slime such as the water channel inside the air conditioner can be automatically judged by using the air conditioner during operation, the voltage regulation of the ion generator is adopted, the bacteria on the surface of the biological slime are purified by adopting high-voltage discharge, the bacteria inside the biological slime are purified by adopting the low-voltage electric field in cooperation with the antibacterial agent, and the problem of biological slime pollution of the air conditioner is really solved, which has the following beneficial effects: (1) judging the growth condition of biological slime such as water channels of indoor units of air conditioners and the like through the running duration; (2) the ion generator is reasonably arranged to simultaneously realize the purification of ions in the machine, the purification of water channels and the purification of ions outside the machine; (3) and the ion generator generates a low-voltage electric field to cooperate with the antibacterial agent to purify the microorganisms such as bacteria in the biological slime, and inhibit or eliminate the biological slime.
In the embodiment of the invention, the key point is that the antibacterial agent can enter the biological membrane through the cooperation of the electric field and the antibacterial agent, so that the hidden bacteria in the biological membrane can be killed, and the effect of inhibiting the biological membrane is achieved. The electric field is realized by mainly utilizing low-voltage discharge of the existing ion generator, and theoretically, the electric field can be directly generated by current or generated by magnetic electricity, so that the expected effect of the patent can be achieved. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electric field may be generated directly by current or generated magnetically. This is not particularly limited, and may be implemented in other forms.
