Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of intelligent control, in particular to a method and a device for cleaning filth blockage of an air conditioner heat exchanger and an air conditioner.
Background
Most of the existing air conditioners do not have functions of reminding of dirty blockage of a heat exchanger and cleaning, so that users generally can only select cleaning service of the heat exchanger regularly by taking time as a limit. However, the atmospheric environment varies significantly between cities, and even between cities, residential areas and industrial areas have different atmospheric environments. Meanwhile, with the deterioration of the existing living environment, the dirty blocking condition of the heat exchanger is more and more common.
In terms of the heat exchange principle of the heat exchanger, an air-cooled heat exchanger is common, and a refrigerant flows through a copper pipe to exchange heat with ambient air. In order to enhance the heat exchange effect, the copper pipe needs to be distributed with more dense fins, the spacing between the fins is more than 1.3 mm and 1.4 mm, and the small gap easily causes dirty blockage. Once the heat exchanger is fouled, the contact area of the copper pipe with the air is reduced, and the fluidity of the air from the heat exchanger is deteriorated. The reduction of the heat exchange effect directly influences the performance of the air conditioner, thereby reducing the comfort of user experience.
The existing heat exchanger filth blockage reminding functions are roughly 3, and as described in chinese patent CN106440186A (a heat exchanger filth blockage detection method and system based on a single pressure sensor, and an air conditioner), the heat exchanger filth blockage level is converted according to the differential pressure and the current fan rotation speed by detecting the differential pressure between the filter layer network and the leeward side of the heat exchanger at the current wind speed. The technical scheme has the disadvantages that the influence on the pressure difference is different under different climates or different environments, such as outdoor units of low-rise residences and high-rise residences, but the technical scheme can be realized only in a constant environment. In addition, as described in chinese patent CN105674485A (dirty and blockage detection method and apparatus for air conditioner), it detects the dirty and blockage of the heat exchanger by detecting the rotation speed and gear of the motor under the target voltage and comparing the rotation speed of the motor with the rotation speed of the set gear. The technical scheme has the disadvantages that the rotating speed of the motor changes according to different loads under the same voltage, and in fact, the loads are different under different working conditions and different frequencies under the same voltage, so that the heat exchanger filth blockage condition is difficult to accurately judge by the technical scheme. In addition, as described in chinese patent CN104110781B (air conditioner and filth blockage detection control method and device thereof), the heat exchanger filth blockage condition is known by detecting the rotation speed, current and voltage of the motor and converting into the motor power, and comparing the motor power with the set power, so as to remind the user or automatically reverse the motor to remove filth blockage. However, the technical scheme has the defects that the power of the fan and the like correspond to gears, so that the influence of filth blockage on the power of the motor is small, and the filth blockage condition of the heat exchanger is difficult to accurately judge. Therefore, there is a need in the art for a solution that can efficiently detect and clean the filth blockage of an air conditioner heat exchanger.
The above information disclosed in the background section is only for further understanding of the background of the invention and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known to a person of ordinary skill in the art.

When the air conditioner is in operation, when the condenser is shielded, and the dirty blockage condition of the condenser is simulated, the air inlet abnormity test experiment of the evaporator and the condenser can show that when the heat exchanger is subjected to 1/4, 2/1 and 3/4 and is completely blocked, the most intuitive embodiment is that the exhaust temperature, the current and the power are increased in different degrees. Therefore, the function of reminding the dirty blockage of the heat exchanger can be realized by detecting the exhaust temperature, the current and the power. Meanwhile, because the fins are dense, most of dust is concentrated on the outer side of the heat exchanger, when the filth blockage degree of the heat exchanger reaches a certain degree, the filth blockage can be solved by utilizing the reverse rotation function of the motor of the outdoor fan and strong wind power.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of an air conditioner heat exchanger fouling condition detection method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. As shown in figure 1 of the drawings, in which,
at step S1, collecting heat exchanger filth blockage parameters within a first predetermined time;
in step S2, determining a filth blockage level of the heat exchanger according to the filth blockage parameter, a preset initial value of the filth blockage parameter, and a plurality of preset thresholds;
at step S3, a dirty cleaning procedure for the heat exchanger is initiated based on the determined dirty level.
According to one or more embodiments of the invention, when the heat exchanger filth blockage condition is detected, data related to heat exchange related parameters are collected and detected in real time; comparing the data with a preset initial value, feeding the comparison result back to a client or an air conditioning system, determining the current filth blockage level and estimating the energy consumption which is possibly increased; the user or the air conditioner control system operates to control the motor of the outdoor unit to rotate reversely for a preset time through a program or a command and then operate in a normal mode; and feeding back the current filth blockage grade and predicting the possible increased energy consumption of the client or the air conditioner control system through the detected data and the comparison result with the initial preset value.
According to one or more embodiments of the invention, the filth blockage degree is corresponding to a preset filth blockage grade, and the filth blockage is cleared by controlling the outdoor fan to reversely rotate according to the filth blockage grade; determining an energy consumption level of the condenser based on the increased energy consumption; and feeding back the filth level and the energy consumption level to the user. The feedback heat exchanger filth level is displayed, for example, by a display module or a display panel installed in the air conditioner (or remotely notified to the client through APP), for example, green is adopted to represent that the heat exchanger is not filth, yellow is adopted to represent that the heat exchanger is lightly filth, blue is adopted to represent that the heat exchanger is moderately filth, and red is adopted to represent that the heat exchanger is heavily filth. In addition, the power consumption level is increased to level 1 when the power is increased by a, for example, according to the increased power consumption feedback. When the power is increased by b, the power consumption level is increased to 2. When the power is increased by c, the power consumption level is increased to 3.
According to one or more embodiments of the invention, the difference value between the average value of the filth blockage parameters and the preset initial value of the filth blockage parameters is compared with a plurality of preset threshold values in a first preset time, and the filth blockage grade is determined according to the comparison result. The voltage, the current and the exhaust temperature of the whole heat exchanger are collected through a collection module, and the increased energy consumption level of the heat exchanger is determined according to the difference value between the average value of the power and a preset power initial value in first preset time and the comparison result of a plurality of preset power threshold values. Thus, the fouling parameters of the heat exchanger include at least voltage, current, exhaust gas temperature and power. Of course, in the design, the dirty blocking parameter of the heat exchanger may be at least one of the current and the exhaust temperature of the whole heat exchanger.
According to one or more embodiments of the invention, when the air conditioner is operated, the power supply voltage of the heat exchanger fluctuates slightly, and the current changes with different working conditions, so that the voltage fluctuation, the influence of the working conditions and the like need to be considered during detection. As shown in table 1 below, in the detection process, a preset initial setting value is selected to be compared with the detected relevant parameter value, wherein the preset initial value may be a fixed value set before the factory, and is only used as a reference. In order to avoid the fluctuation of the detection value, the detection of the relevant parameter values of the heat exchanger is carried out in the first preset time, and the average value is taken as the object for comparing with the preset initial value.
TABLE 1 setup of preset initial values, detection values and difference values
As shown in table 1, the preset initial value is a normal value of the heat exchanger operating at a predetermined temperature, and may be set from factory, where a "difference" refers to an amount by which a detected value deviates from the normal value within a first predetermined time, and the difference corresponds to a level of the degree of the filth blockage, and the degree of the filth blockage of the heat exchanger is determined by the difference.
According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the degree of filth of the heat exchanger is determined according to a comparison result between a difference value between the average value of the relevant parameter and the preset initial value and a preset filth level threshold value (i.e., a plurality of threshold values). And determining the increased energy consumption of the heat exchanger according to the comparison result of the difference value between the average value of the power and the preset power initial value in the first preset time and a preset power level threshold value (namely a plurality of power threshold values).
For example, by comparing the detected values of the current, the exhaust temperature (average value in the first predetermined time) and a preset initial value (i.e., I)iAnd Fi) Feeding back filth blockage grade; and feeding back the increased energy consumption level by comparing the detected power with a preset initial power value.
When feedback is performed, according to the "difference" (X) in Table 1iDetection average value-preset initial value) to perform feedback, for example, if the difference value is X1<x0Then the dirty grade is green, and so on, where x0Is a first preset filth level threshold, and the specific setting of the preset filth level threshold is shown in table 2.
TABLE 2 dirty level determination rules
In Table 2, xiThe value of (A) can be selected based on the variation in the difference, i.e. xiThe predetermined class threshold (i.e., thresholds), x, is selected based on the difference between the current and the exhaust temperature in Table 1iIncludes (x)i current ofAnd xi exhaust temperatureA rank threshold value). Wherein, the more serious the filth blockage degree of the heat exchanger is, the current, the exhaust temperature and the power can be improved in a step manner. The initial value of each filth blockage grade is measured according to the filth blockage degree of the simulated condenser, and the filth blockage grade can be judged by comparing the difference value and the initial value in the table 1.
Table 3 is a specific case of judging the power level for increasing the power consumption from the difference of the powers in table 1.
TABLE 3 energy consumption level determination rules
Wherein p is0It is an initial value to rank in steps. Normal power p during normal operation0However, when the dirty blockage occurs, the heat exchange area of the condenser is reduced, the system can be overloaded to increase the power in order to achieve the normal refrigerating capacity, and at the moment, the increase of the power of the part is the increased energy consumption,different grades for increasing energy consumption are prompted by comparing the initial values, wherein the corresponding preset power grade threshold value is pi。
According to one or more embodiments of the invention, after determining the increased energy consumption of the filth blockage degree of the heat exchanger, the filth blockage degree is corresponding to a preset filth blockage grade, and the outdoor fan is controlled to reversely rotate according to the filth blockage grade to remove the filth blockage; determining the energy consumption grade of the heat exchanger according to the increased energy consumption; and feeding back the filth blockage grade and the energy consumption grade to a user, specifically, after stopping the outdoor fan for a preset second time, controlling the outdoor fan to reversely rotate for a third preset time, and then after stopping the outdoor fan for a fourth preset time, restarting the complete machine of the heat exchanger to re-acquire the filth blockage parameters, re-determine the filth blockage grade and re-determine the energy consumption grade.
Specifically, a user or a control system can use a remote controller or APP for operation according to the heat exchanger filth blockage condition, after the controller receives a command, the control system stops operating for a second preset time, the outdoor fan is controlled to reversely operate for a third preset time, and then the outdoor fan stops operating for a fourth preset time, the system normally operates, and continues to detect and feed back the heat exchanger filth blockage condition to the user.
According to one or more embodiments of the invention, the air conditioning system converts the power value by detecting the voltage and the current of the whole heat exchanger in real time, and detects the environmental working condition and the exhaust temperature, wherein the first preset time is required to be detected and the average value is taken. The current filth level and the increased power consumption level are fed back by comparison with the preset initial values in table 1. And then the filth blockage grade and the energy consumption grade are displayed through a display panel or a display module in the air conditioner, and the filth blockage grade and the energy consumption grade can also be sent to a user remotely through the APP. The display mode of the dirty blockage grade can visually indicate the dirty blockage condition of the condenser; the "power consumption level" display mode can visually represent the situation of increased power consumption. When a user selects filth blockage cleaning (or the filth blockage is automatically cleaned by an air conditioner control system), the outdoor fan is controlled to reversely rotate according to a set program. And when the cleaning program is finished, the system normally runs, continues to detect and feeds back the current filth blockage grade and the increased energy consumption grade.
According to one or more embodiments of the invention, when the heat exchanger filth blockage cleaning is realized, if dust on the heat exchanger is condensed under the action of rainwater when the outdoor environment is rainy, the wind resistance is large, and the filth blockage is easier to blow out, so that the best filth blockage cleaning effect can be obtained by using the filth blockage cleaning function in rainy days.
