Detailed Description
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a flow chart of a four-way valve fault detection method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The four-way valve fault detection method is applied to the air conditioner, and can automatically identify faults of the four-way valve of the air conditioner, so that the maintenance convenience is improved, and the user experience is further improved. The four-way valve fault detection method comprises the following steps:
step S101, acquiring the temperature of the exhaust port of the compressor before the compressor is started, and obtaining a first initial temperature.
In this embodiment, the gas vent position of compressor is provided with temperature sensor, and temperature sensor acquires the temperature of the gas vent of compressor in real time.
Further, the four-way valve fault detection method further comprises the following steps:
step S102, obtaining the temperature of the heat exchanger of the indoor unit or the outdoor unit before the compressor is started, and obtaining a second initial temperature.
It should be noted that, in the four-way valve fault detection method provided in this embodiment, the detection data may be obtained by the heat exchanger of the indoor unit, or may be obtained by the heat exchanger of the outdoor unit.
Further, the four-way valve fault detection method further comprises the following steps:
and step S103, acquiring the real-time temperature of the exhaust port after the compressor is started to obtain the real-time exhaust temperature.
Further, the four-way valve fault detection method further comprises the following steps:
and step S104, selectively acquiring the real-time heat exchange temperature of the heat exchanger according to the real-time exhaust temperature and the first initial temperature.
The compressor is ensured to normally work according to the real-time exhaust temperature and the first initial temperature, a certain pressure difference is achieved, and meanwhile, the problem that the risk of false alarm is caused when the compressor is started directly due to the fact that the exhaust temperature is not lowered timely or the environment temperature is too high during starting is avoided. Therefore, other factors affecting the determination result are excluded by step S104.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 shows a sub-step flow chart of step S104, and step S104 may include:
and a substep S1041 of comparing the real-time exhaust temperature with a first preset threshold value.
In fact, the first preset threshold value is set differently according to the current operation mode of the air conditioner. If the air conditioner is currently operated in a heating mode, the set range of the first preset threshold is 0-40 ℃, and the first preset threshold is preferably 20 ℃; if the air conditioner is currently operated in the cooling mode, the first preset threshold is set to be in a range of 20 ℃ to 60 ℃, preferably 40 ℃.
In the substep S1042, if the real-time exhaust temperature is greater than the first preset threshold, the difference between the real-time exhaust temperature and the first initial temperature is compared with a second preset threshold.
The second preset threshold is set in the range of 0 ℃ to 30 ℃, preferably 15 ℃.
And in the substep S1043, if the difference value between the real-time exhaust temperature and the first initial temperature is greater than a second preset threshold value, acquiring the real-time heat exchange temperature of the heat exchanger.
If the difference value between the real-time exhaust temperature and the first initial temperature is larger than a second preset threshold value, the compressor is indicated to work normally, and the compressor runs for a period of time, so that the influence of the ambient temperature is exhausted. In this case, the real-time heat exchange temperature of the heat exchanger may be a heat exchanger of an indoor unit or a heat exchanger of an outdoor unit.
With reference to fig. 1, the four-way valve fault detection method further includes:
and S105, judging whether the four-way valve of the air conditioner breaks down or not according to the real-time heat exchange temperature and the second initial temperature.
After the influence of the factors such as the compressor failure and the ambient temperature is discharged in step S104, whether the four-way valve has a failure or not is determined according to the temperature change tendency of the heat exchanger.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a sub-step flow of step S105, wherein step S105 may include:
and a substep S1051 of calculating a difference value between the real-time heat exchange temperature and the second initial temperature to obtain a heat exchange temperature difference.
And a substep S1052, comparing the heat exchange temperature difference with a third preset threshold value.
In the case that the detection object is a heat exchanger of an indoor unit, if the air conditioner operates in a heating mode, the heat exchanger of the indoor unit is equivalent to a condenser, and the heat exchange temperature difference is necessarily smaller than the temperature difference of the exhaust temperature of the compressor, so that the third preset threshold and the second preset threshold have a proportional relation, in this embodiment, the third preset threshold is equal to the second preset threshold multiplied by a proportional coefficient of 0.2, and in other embodiments, the proportional coefficient may also select other values within a range of 0 to 1. If the air conditioner operates in a refrigeration mode, the heat exchanger of the indoor unit is equivalent to an evaporator, and at the moment, the heat exchange temperature difference is irrelevant to the exhaust temperature, and in this case, the third preset threshold value is a value within a range of 0 ℃ to 10 ℃, preferably 3 ℃.
In the case where the detection target is a heat exchanger of an outdoor unit, if the air conditioner operates in a heating mode, the outdoor heat exchanger corresponds to an evaporator, and at this time, the heat exchange temperature difference is not related to the discharge temperature, and in this case, the third preset threshold value is set to a value in a range of 0 ℃ to 10 ℃, preferably 3 ℃. If the air conditioner is operated in a cooling mode, the heat exchanger of the outdoor unit is equivalent to a condenser, and similarly, the third preset threshold is equal to the second preset threshold multiplied by the proportionality coefficient of 0.2, and in other embodiments, the proportionality coefficient may be selected to have other values within a range of 0 to 1.
And a substep S1053 of judging whether the four-way valve of the air conditioner breaks down or not according to the comparison result of the heat exchange temperature difference and a third preset threshold value.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a block flow diagram of a sub-step of the sub-step S1053, and the sub-step S1053 may include:
and in the substep S1053a, if the heat exchange temperature difference is smaller than a third preset threshold value, determining that the four-way valve has a fault.
And the heat exchange temperature difference is smaller than a third preset threshold value, which indicates that the heat exchange temperature difference is too small, and the four-way valve is judged to be in fault under the condition of eliminating the influence of the compressor and the ambient temperature. If the heat exchange temperature difference is larger than or equal to a third preset threshold value, the representation heat exchange temperature difference is normal, and the four-way valve is judged not to have a fault.
And a substep S1053b of comparing the heat exchange temperature difference with a fourth preset threshold value, wherein the fourth preset threshold value is smaller than the third preset threshold value.
The value of the fourth preset threshold is in the range of-10 ℃ to 0 ℃, and in this embodiment, the value is preferably-2 ℃. On the premise of judging that the four-way valve fails, the specific failure type of the four-way valve is further judged according to the heat exchange temperature difference of the heat exchanger.
And in the substep S1053c, if the heat exchange temperature difference is smaller than a fourth preset threshold value, determining that the four-way valve has a switching fault.
And when the heat exchange temperature difference is smaller than a fourth preset threshold value, the heat exchange quantity is too small, the four-way valve cannot be switched, and the switching fault of the four-way valve is judged.
And in the substep S1053d, if the heat exchange temperature difference is greater than or equal to a fourth preset threshold value, determining that the four-way valve has a gas leakage fault.
And the heat exchange temperature difference is smaller than a third preset threshold value and larger than or equal to a fourth preset threshold value, the heat exchange quantity is small, the four-way valve is proved to be connected in series, and the gas connection fault of the four-way valve is judged.
And a sub-step S1053e of controlling the compressor to be stopped for a preset time.
It is understood that the single determination result is not convincing and there may be a detection error. Therefore, after the fault type is determined once, the compressor is controlled to stop for a preset time, and then the round of determination is performed again, wherein the preset time is 3 minutes in the embodiment.
Substep S1053f begins with the step of obtaining the temperature of the discharge of the compressor before the compressor is turned on, obtaining a first initial temperature, and cycling through the subsequent steps.
And a substep S1053g, if the four-way valve is still judged to have faults of corresponding types after circulating for a preset number of times, sending out fault alarm signals of corresponding fault types.
Through the substep S1053f and the substep S1053g, the multiple judgment results show that the four-way valve has the fault of the corresponding type, the type of the fault of the four-way valve is determined, and at the moment, a fault alarm signal corresponding to the fault type is sent out, so that the air conditioner can give a fault alarm to remind a user of corresponding maintenance.
