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 outdoor 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 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.
S102: and under the condition that the air conditioner completes self-cleaning operation, controlling a fan of the air conditioner to reversely rotate to dry moisture on the surface of a heat exchanger of the air conditioner.
Under the condition that the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner completes self-cleaning operation, the internal environment of the indoor unit of the air conditioner is relatively humid, and an indoor fan of the air conditioner is controlled to reversely rotate so as to dry moisture on the surface of the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner. Under the condition that the air conditioner outdoor heat exchanger completes self-cleaning operation, the internal environment of the air conditioner outdoor unit is relatively humid, and an outdoor fan of the air conditioner is controlled to reversely run so as to dry moisture on the surface of the air conditioner outdoor heat exchanger.
Optionally, controlling a fan of the air conditioner to run in reverse includes: controlling the fan to reversely rotate at the first rotating speed for a first time period; the method comprises the steps that after a fan reversely rotates at a first rotating speed for a first time, first outlet air humidity at an air outlet of an air conditioner is obtained; under the condition that the first outlet air humidity is larger than the preset humidity, the rotating speed of the fan in the reverse rotation operation is controlled to be increased to a second rotating speed on the basis of the first rotating speed in a mode of gradually reducing the acceleration, and the rotating speed of the fan in the reverse rotation operation is controlled to be decreased to the first rotating speed on the basis of the second rotating speed in a mode of gradually increasing the acceleration; and controlling the fan to reversely run according to the first rotating speed.
Here, the first duration is in a range of [5min, 10min ], for example, 5min (minutes), 6min, 8min, 10 min. In the experiment in earlier stage, control air conditioner fan rotates the operation for the first time according to first rotational speed reversal, and records the air outlet humidity of air conditioner air outlet department this moment when confirming that air conditioner heat exchanger surface does not have obvious drop of water. The preset humidity is the outlet air humidity with the most frequent occurrence frequency in the recorded outlet air humidities. And a humidity sensor is arranged at the air outlet of the air conditioner and used for detecting the air outlet humidity at the air outlet of the air conditioner. After control fan was first time long according to the first speed of rotation reversal operation, utilized humidity transducer to detect the first air-out humidity that obtains air conditioner air outlet department, if first air-out humidity is greater than predetermineeing humidity, it is great to show the inside environment humidity of air conditioner, and heat exchanger surface moisture is more, promotes the evaporation of moisture with higher speed of the reversal speed of fan.

wherein r is 2 At the second rotational speed, r 1 The first rotation speed is the first rotation speed,
Figure BDA0003076476120000051
is a scaling factor.
Figure BDA0003076476120000052
Has a value range of [1.6, 2.1 ]]E.g. 1.6, 1.8, 2, 2.1.
The long-time high-speed reversal operation of fan harms the life of fan easily, and moreover, fan reversal operation generates heat, influences the normal refrigeration of air conditioner or heats to a certain extent easily. In consideration of the above factors, in the technical scheme of the disclosure, under the condition that the first outlet air humidity is greater than the preset humidity, when the reverse rotation speed of the fan is increased, on one hand, the maximum rotation speed of the reverse rotation of the fan is limited, on the other hand, the discontinuity of the high-speed reverse rotation operation of the fan is kept, and when the surface moisture evaporation of the air conditioner heat exchanger is accelerated, the damage to the air conditioner fan and the influence on the normal refrigeration or heating of the air conditioner are avoided as much as possible.
By adopting the control method for self-cleaning of the air conditioner, after the self-cleaning instruction of the air conditioner is received, the air conditioner is controlled to execute the self-cleaning operation comprising the defrosting stage and the defrosting stage, and under the condition that the self-cleaning operation of the air conditioner is completed, the fan of the air conditioner is controlled to reversely rotate so as to dry the moisture on the surface of the heat exchanger of the air conditioner. Like this, after the air conditioner automatically cleaning, the conversion air conditioner fan turns to, utilizes the fan reversal characteristics of generating heat for the water evaporation on heat exchanger surface reduces air conditioner internal environment humidity, can effectively avoid bacterial growing and delay the corruption process of air conditioner heat exchanger's aluminium foil to improve the use of air conditioner and experience and improve the life of air conditioner.
In some embodiments, the control method for self-cleaning of an air conditioner further includes: after controlling the fan to reversely rotate for a second time, obtaining a first humidity change rate of the air outlet humidity at the air outlet of the air conditioner; and under the condition that the first humidity change rate is smaller than a first preset humidity change rate, switching the operation mode of the air conditioner to a preset operation mode.
Here, the value of the second duration is [10min, 15min ], for example, 10min, 12min, 13min, 15 min. When the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner is self-cleaned, the preset operation mode of the air conditioner is a heating mode; when the outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner is self-cleaned, the preset operation mode of the air conditioner is a refrigeration mode. In the earlier stage experiment, after the air conditioner finishes self-cleaning, the air outlet humidity of the air outlet of the air conditioner at the moment is recorded. And controlling the air conditioner fan to reversely rotate at the first rotating speed for a second time, recording the air outlet humidity of the air conditioner air outlet at the moment when the surface of the air conditioner heat exchanger is confirmed to have no obvious water drops, and calculating the humidity change rate of the air conditioner air outlet at the moment. The first preset humidity change rate is a humidity change rate that occurs most frequently among a plurality of humidity change rates recorded. And after controlling the fan to operate for the second time length according to the reverse rotation, calculating to obtain a first humidity change rate of the air outlet humidity at the air outlet of the air conditioner, and if the first humidity change rate is smaller than a first preset humidity change rate, indicating that the internal environment humidity of the air conditioner is larger and the surface moisture of the heat exchanger is more, and switching the operation mode of the air conditioner to a preset operation mode to accelerate the evaporation of the moisture.
In some embodiments, the control method for air conditioner self-cleaning further includes: after the operation mode of the air conditioner is switched to the preset operation mode and the air conditioner operates for a third time, a second humidity change rate of the air outlet humidity at the air outlet of the air conditioner is obtained; and under the condition that the second humidity change rate is smaller than a second preset humidity change rate, improving the operating frequency of the compressor of the air conditioner.
Here, the value of the third time period is [5min, 10min ], for example, 5min (min), 6min, 8min, 10 min. When the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner is self-cleaned, the preset operation mode of the air conditioner is a heating mode; when the outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner is self-cleaned, the preset operation mode of the air conditioner is a refrigeration mode. In the earlier stage experiment, when the operation mode of the air conditioner is switched to the preset operation mode, the air outlet humidity at the air outlet of the air conditioner is recorded. And after the operation mode of the air conditioner is switched to the preset operation mode and the air conditioner operates for a third time, recording the air outlet humidity at the air outlet of the air conditioner when no water drops exist on the surface of the heat exchanger of the air conditioner, and calculating the humidity change rate at the air outlet of the air conditioner at the moment. The second preset humidity change rate is a humidity change rate that occurs most frequently among the plurality of recorded humidity change rates. After the operation mode of the air conditioner is switched to the preset operation mode for a third time period, calculating to obtain a second humidity change rate of the outlet air humidity of the air conditioner (namely, the humidity change rate of the outlet air of the air conditioner is calculated from the time when the operation mode of the air conditioner is switched to the preset operation mode to the third time period), and if the second humidity change rate is smaller than the second preset humidity change rate, the fact that the internal environment of the air conditioner is high in humidity and the surface of a heat exchanger is high in moisture is shown, and the evaporation of the moisture is accelerated by improving the operation frequency of a compressor of the air conditioner.
Optionally, increasing the operating frequency of the compressor of the air conditioner includes: obtaining a second outlet air humidity at the air outlet of the air conditioner; calculating a humidity difference value between the second outlet air humidity and the preset humidity, and determining an operation frequency increment corresponding to the humidity difference value; the operating frequency of the compressor is increased in increments of the operating frequency based on the current operating frequency of the compressor.
Here, the selectable value range of the preset humidity is [ 40%, 60% ], for example, 40%, 50%, 55%, 60%. In practical application, a corresponding relation table of the humidity difference value and the operation frequency increment of the compressor is established, and in the corresponding relation table, the operation frequency increment and the humidity difference value are positively correlated. Based on the calculated humidity difference, the corresponding running frequency increment of the compressor can be determined by searching a pre-established corresponding relation table. Therefore, the operation frequency increment of the compressor is determined by utilizing the humidity difference value of the second outlet air humidity and the preset humidity, and then on the basis of the current operation frequency of the compressor, the operation frequency of the compressor is increased according to the operation frequency increment, so that the compressor can be accurately controlled, and the dehumidification effect of the heat exchanger after the self-cleaning operation of the air conditioner is better realized.
In some embodiments, the air conditioner includes an electric heating device provided to the heat exchanger; the control method for self-cleaning of the air conditioner further comprises the following steps: after the operation mode of the air conditioner is switched to the preset operation mode and the air conditioner operates for a third time, a second humidity change rate of the outlet air humidity at the air outlet of the air conditioner is obtained; and under the condition that the second humidity change rate is smaller than a second preset humidity change rate, controlling the electric heating device to operate.
After the operation mode of the air conditioner is switched to the preset operation mode and the air conditioner is operated for the third time, the second humidity change rate of the air outlet humidity at the air outlet of the air conditioner is calculated, if the second humidity change rate is smaller than the second preset humidity change rate, the fact that the humidity of the internal environment of the air conditioner is high and the surface moisture of the heat exchanger is high is shown, the evaporation of the surface moisture of the heat exchanger is accelerated by controlling the operation of the electric heating device, and the dehumidification effect of the heat exchanger after the self-cleaning operation of the air conditioner is favorably realized.
In some embodiments, the control method for self-cleaning of an air conditioner further includes: after the air conditioner is controlled to complete 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 determining whether to control the air conditioner to execute 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 starting) after the start operation of the air conditioner is detected when it is determined that no dust is accumulated in the heat exchanger in the early stage test process. 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, determining whether to control the air conditioner to perform 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.
Referring to fig. 2, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control method for self-cleaning of an air conditioner, including the following steps:
s201: and after receiving the self-cleaning instruction of the air conditioner, controlling the air conditioner to execute self-cleaning operation comprising a frost condensation stage and a defrosting stage.
