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, detecting the environmental humidity on the surface of the heat exchanger before the air conditioner performs self-cleaning operation.
After the air conditioner receives the self-cleaning instruction, the humidity sensor disposed at the heat exchanger may be used to detect the ambient humidity (relative ambient humidity) on the surface of the heat exchanger before the self-cleaning operation is performed.
And S102, starting a humidifier of the air conditioner for humidification and controlling a compressor of the air conditioner to operate according to a first operation frequency under the condition that the environmental humidity is less than the preset humidity.
In the early-stage test of the air conditioner, the self-cleaning operation of the air conditioner is executed under the condition that the environmental humidity on the surface of the heat exchanger is different, the environmental humidity with better self-cleaning effect is finally determined, and the environmental humidity with the most frequent occurrence is determined as the preset humidity. For example, the predetermined humidity may be in the range of [55%,65% ], e.g., 55%, 58%, 60%, 63%, 65%.
The self-cleaning process of the air conditioner comprises a frost condensation stage and a defrosting stage, wherein in the frost condensation stage, moisture around the heat exchanger is condensed on the surface of the heat exchanger in a bead form, the air conditioner in the later stage of frost condensation enables the beads condensed on the surface of the heat exchanger in the earlier stage to be condensed into a frost layer in a mode of improving the refrigerating capacity, and the frost layer is combined with dust on the surface of the heat exchanger and is peeled off; and then entering a defrosting stage, wherein the temperature of the coil pipe of the heat exchanger is increased, the frost layer is melted, and dust is collected in the water receiving tray along with the melted water flow. Therefore, the final self-cleaning effect of the air conditioner is influenced to a great extent by the environment humidity on the surface of the heat exchanger, the larger the environment humidity on the surface of the heat exchanger is, the better the frost condensation effect is, and the better the final self-cleaning effect is. Therefore, under the condition that the environment humidity is smaller than the preset humidity, the humidifier of the air conditioner is started to humidify, and the final self-cleaning effect of the air conditioner is improved.
Optionally, the first operating frequency is determined as follows: obtaining the humidifying power of a humidifier; a first operating frequency is determined from the humidification power.
In practical applications, a correspondence relationship between the humidification power of the humidifier and the first operating frequency of the compressor may be established, and table 1 below shows an alternative first correspondence relationship table between the humidification power and the first operating frequency. In the correspondence table of the humidification power and the first operating frequency, the first operating power is positively correlated with the humidification power. Based on the humidifying power of the humidifier, the first operation power of the corresponding compressor can be determined by searching the first corresponding relation table.

In the air conditioner self-cleaning frost condensation stage, in the humidifier humidifying process, when the environment humidity on the surface of the heat exchanger is small, if the operating frequency of the compressor is too large, a small amount of moisture on the surface of the heat exchanger is quickly condensed, a condensed frost layer is too thin, and the dust on the surface of the heat exchanger cannot be completely absorbed and combined by larger adsorption force or holding force in the frost condensation process. The operation frequency of the compressor is determined according to the humidifying power of the humidifier, the larger the humidifying power is, the faster the moisture on the surface of the heat exchanger is increased, the larger the operation frequency is, and the frost layer condensed by the moisture on the surface of the heat exchanger in the frost condensation process can be better combined with the dust on the surface of the heat exchanger, so that the self-cleaning function of the air conditioner is better realized.
Optionally, determining the first operating frequency according to the humidification power includes calculating the first operating frequency according to the following formula:
Figure BDA0003075983540000051
wherein, F 1 Is the first operating frequency, F, of the compressor 0 For the initial operating frequency, P, of the compressor 0 The preset humidifying power of the humidifier is P, and the humidifying power of the humidifier is P.
On the basis of the initial operation frequency of the compressor, the operation frequency of the compressor is determined according to the humidification power of the humidifier, the higher the humidification power is, the faster the moisture on the surface of the heat exchanger is increased, the higher the operation frequency is, and the frost layer condensed by the moisture on the surface of the heat exchanger in the frost condensation process can be better combined with the dust on the surface of the heat exchanger, so that the self-cleaning function of the air conditioner is better realized.
And S103, controlling the compressor to operate according to a second operating frequency under the condition that the environmental humidity is greater than or equal to the preset humidity.
Optionally, the second operating frequency is determined as follows: obtaining a current ambient temperature; determining the lowest temperature which can be reached by the heat exchanger at the current ambient temperature; determining the frequency increasing rate of the compressor according to the current environment temperature and the lowest temperature; the second operating frequency is determined from the ramp rate based on the current first operating frequency of the compressor.
Determining the lowest temperature that the heat exchanger can reach at the current ambient temperature, including: obtaining a maximum operating frequency of a compressor of an air conditioner; the lowest temperature that the heat exchanger can reach at the current ambient temperature when the compressor is operating at the maximum operating frequency is determined. Under the same environment temperature, when the maximum operating frequency of the air conditioner compressor is different, the refrigerating capacity of the air conditioner is different, so that the lowest temperature which can be reached by the air conditioner heat exchanger under the current environment temperature is different. In the early-stage test, the lowest temperature which can be reached by the air conditioner heat exchanger when the compressor operates at the maximum operating frequency is recorded under different environmental temperatures. In practical application, based on the maximum operating frequency of the current compressor, after the current environment temperature is determined, the lowest temperature which can be reached by the heat exchanger at the current environment temperature can be determined by searching recorded data in a previous-stage test.
In practical applications, the corresponding relationship between the current ambient temperature and the lowest temperature and the frequency increasing rate of the compressor may be established, and table 2 below shows an optional second corresponding relationship table between the current ambient temperature and the lowest temperature and the frequency increasing rate. In the second corresponding relation table, the frequency raising rate of the compressor and the current ambient temperature T r And the lowest temperature T min Difference Δ T (Δ T = T) r -T min ) And (4) positively correlating. Based on the current temperature and the lowest temperature, the corresponding frequency increasing rate of the compressor can be determined by searching the second corresponding relation table.
Table 2: second corresponding relation table
Figure BDA0003075983540000061
Optionally, determining the second operating frequency from the ramp rate based on the current first operating frequency of the compressor comprises calculating the second operating frequency according to the following formula:
Figure BDA0003075983540000062
wherein, F 10 Is the current first operating frequency, F, of the compressor 2 For the second operating frequency of the compressor,
Figure BDA0003075983540000063
at is the compressor ramp rate, Δ t is the length of time the compressor is operating at the second operating frequency.
And in the self-cleaning and frost-condensing stage of the air conditioner, the frequency-increasing rate of the compressor is determined according to the current ambient temperature and the lowest temperature which can be reached by the heat exchanger under the current ambient temperature, and the second operating frequency is calculated and determined according to the frequency-increasing rate on the basis of the current first operating frequency of the compressor so as to operate according to the second operating frequency. Like this, in air conditioner self-cleaning frost stage, progressively improve the operating power of compressor, moderate degree extension frost time for moisture near the heat exchanger condenses into the frost fully, combines more fully with the dust on heat exchanger surface, thereby realizes better self-cleaning effect.
And S104, controlling the air conditioner to perform self-cleaning operation.
And after determining the running frequency of the air conditioner compressor in the self-cleaning stage of the air conditioner, controlling the air conditioner to execute self-cleaning operation. When the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner is self-cleaned, the four-way valve of the air conditioner is adjusted, the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner is controlled to enter a frost condensation stage, the air conditioner operates in a refrigeration mode, moisture in indoor air is condensed on the surface of the heat exchanger of the indoor machine in a water droplet mode, the air conditioner in the later stage of frost condensation enables water droplets condensed on the surface of the heat exchanger in the earlier stage to be condensed into a frost layer in a mode of improving refrigerating capacity, and the frost layer is combined with dust on the surface of the heat exchanger and is peeled off; and then entering a defrosting stage, wherein the air conditioner operates in a heating mode, the temperature of the coil pipe of the indoor heat exchanger is increased, a frost layer is melted, dust is collected in the water receiving disc along with the melted water flow, and the self-cleaning operation of the indoor heat exchanger is completed. When the outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner is self-cleaned, the four-way valve of the air conditioner is adjusted, the outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner is controlled to enter a frost condensation stage, the air conditioner runs in a heating mode, moisture in outdoor air is condensed on the surface of the heat exchanger of the outdoor unit in a water droplet mode, the air conditioner in the later stage of frost condensation enables water droplets condensed on the surface of the heat exchanger in the earlier stage to be condensed into a frost layer in a mode of improving heating capacity, and the frost layer is combined with dust on the surface of the heat exchanger and is peeled off; and then entering a defrosting stage, wherein the air conditioner operates in a refrigerating mode, the temperature of the coil pipe of the outdoor heat exchanger is increased, a frost layer is melted, dust is collected in the water receiving disc along with melted water flow, and the self-cleaning operation of the outdoor heat exchanger is completed.
By adopting the control method for self-cleaning of the air conditioner, before the air conditioner performs self-cleaning operation, the ambient humidity on the surface of the heat exchanger is detected, if the ambient humidity is less than the preset humidity, the humidifier of the air conditioner is started for humidification, the compressor of the air conditioner is controlled to operate according to the first operation frequency, if the ambient humidity is greater than or equal to the preset humidity, the compressor is controlled to operate according to the second operation frequency, and then the air conditioner is continuously controlled to perform self-cleaning operation. Therefore, the frosting environment on the surface of the heat exchanger is known according to the relation between the environmental humidity on the surface of the heat exchanger and the preset humidity, the compressor is flexibly controlled to operate under different operating frequencies based on different frosting environments on the surface of the heat exchanger, the compressor is not easily damaged due to overlarge operating frequency of the compressor, the heat exchanger is not easily frosted or the defrosting effect is poor due to the fact that the operating frequency of the compressor is too low, and the self-cleaning function of the air conditioner can be well achieved.
In some embodiments, the control method for air conditioner self-cleaning further includes: after a humidifier of the air conditioner is started for humidification, an indoor fan of the air conditioner is controlled to rotate.
In the self-cleaning process of the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner, the humidifier of the air conditioner is started to humidify under the condition that the environment humidity is smaller than the preset humidity, the indoor fan is controlled to rotate, the spread of the moisture emitted by the humidifier in the air is accelerated, the environment humidity on the surface of the heat exchanger reaches the preset humidity as soon as possible, the self-cleaning operation of the air conditioner is started, the execution time of the self-cleaning operation of the air conditioner is shortened, and the user experience is improved.
In some embodiments, the control method for self-cleaning of an air conditioner 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 start) after the start operation of the air conditioner is detected when it is confirmed that the heat exchanger has no dust accumulation during the preliminary test. 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.
