In the first downward flow, the heat exchange states of the two heat exchangers in the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 are different, specifically, the first heat exchanger 11 in the first heat exchange module 1 is in an evaporation state, the second heat exchanger 12 is in a condensation state, the third heat exchanger 21 in the second heat exchange module 2 is in a condensation state, and the fourth heat exchanger 22 is in an evaporation state. Therefore, when the refrigerant flows in the refrigerant circulation loop in the first flow direction, the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 are in the second state, the air entering the first air duct from the first air inlet is blown out from the first air outlet after passing through the cooling and dehumidifying effects of the first heat exchanger 11 and the heating effect of the second heat exchanger 12 respectively, and the air entering the second air duct from the second air inlet is blown out from the second air outlet after passing through the cooling and dehumidifying effects of the fourth heat exchanger 22 and the heating effect of the third heat exchanger 21 respectively.

Therefore, when the refrigerant flows in the refrigerant circulation loop in the second flow direction, the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 are in the second state, air entering the first air duct from the first air inlet is heated through the condensation action of the first heat exchanger 11 and the second heat exchanger 12 and then blown out from the second air outlet, and air entering the second air duct from the second air inlet is cooled through the evaporation action of the third heat exchanger 21 and the fourth heat exchanger 22 and then blown out from the second air outlet. Wherein the temperature of the air blown out from the first outlet is increased compared with the air entering from the first inlet, and the temperature of the air blown out from the second outlet is decreased compared with the air entering from the second inlet.

When the air conditioner needs constant temperature dehumidification, the refrigerant can be controlled to circulate in a first flow direction through the refrigerant flow direction switching module 5; when the air conditioner needs to heat, the refrigerant can be controlled to circulate in a second flow direction through the refrigerant flow direction switching module 5, wherein the outlet air of the first air outlet can face to the area where the user is located; the air outlet of the second air outlet can be separated from the area where the user is located, and the air outlet of the second air outlet can be guided to the outdoor environment through a pipeline; when the air conditioner needs to refrigerate, the refrigerant can be controlled to circulate in a second flow direction through the refrigerant flow direction switching module 5, wherein the outlet air of the second air outlet can face to the area where the user is located; the air outlet of the first air outlet can be separated from the area where the user is located, and the air outlet of the first air outlet can be guided to the outdoor environment through a pipeline.

The specific structure of the refrigerant flow direction switching module 5 can be set according to actual requirements, and can be any type of structure, and only the state switching of the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 can be realized.

In an embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 4, a control apparatus of an air conditioner includes: a processor 1001 (e.g., CPU), memory 1002, etc. The memory 1002 may be a high-speed RAM memory or a non-volatile memory (e.g., a disk memory). The memory 1002 may alternatively be a storage device separate from the processor 1001.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the configuration of the device shown in fig. 4 does not constitute a limitation of the device and may include more or fewer components than those shown, or some components may be combined, or a different arrangement of components.

As shown in fig. 4, a control program of the air conditioner may be included in the memory 1002 as a readable storage medium. In the apparatus shown in fig. 4, the processor 1001 may be configured to call a control program of the air conditioner stored in the memory 1002 and perform operations of the relevant steps of the control method of the air conditioner in the following embodiments.

The embodiment of the invention also provides a control method of the air conditioner, which is applied to control the movable empty sleeve.

Referring to fig. 5, an embodiment of a control method of an air conditioner according to the present application is provided. In this embodiment, the method for controlling an air conditioner includes:

step S10, acquiring a target operation mode of the air conditioner; the target operation mode is one of a first mode and a second mode;

the target operation mode specifically refers to a mode in which the air conditioner is currently required to operate. In the present embodiment, the first mode specifically refers to an air conditioner operation mode for the purpose of temperature adjustment. The first mode specifically includes a heating mode or a cooling mode. In the heating mode, the air conditioner can increase the temperature of the ambient air in the area where the user is located; in the cooling mode, the air conditioner may lower the temperature of ambient air in an area where a user is located. The second mode specifically refers to an air conditioner operation mode for the purpose of humidity adjustment. The second mode is specifically a constant temperature dehumidification mode. In the constant temperature dehumidification mode, the air conditioner can reduce the humidity of the ambient air in the area where the user is located, and meanwhile, the temperature of the ambient air in the area where the user is located is not changed.

The target operation mode can be obtained by obtaining user set parameters or analyzing the environment parameters monitored by the air conditioner in real time.

Step S20, determining a control parameter of the refrigerant flow direction switching module 5 according to the target operation mode;

the control parameter specifically refers to a target parameter for enabling each heat exchanger in the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 to reach a target state corresponding to a target operation mode, and the refrigerant flow direction switching module 5 operates. The operation requirements of different target operation modes are different, and the states of the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 required by the target operation modes are different, so that the control parameters of the corresponding refrigerant flow direction switching module 5 are different. Specifically, the control parameters of the refrigerant flow direction switching module 5 corresponding to each target operation mode may be different depending on different types and positions of components set in the refrigerant flow direction switching module 5, and the control parameters of the refrigerant flow direction switching module 5 corresponding to different operation modes may be determined in advance based on the structure of the refrigerant flow direction switching module 5 and the connection manner of the refrigerant flow direction switching module in the refrigerant circulation loop. Based on the preset corresponding relationship between the operation mode and the control parameter, the control parameter of the refrigerant flow direction switching module 5 corresponding to the current target operation mode can be determined.

The control parameters of the refrigerant flow direction switching module 5 may specifically include the opening or closing, the position state, and the like of the sub-components in the refrigerant flow direction switching module 5. Specifically, when the refrigerant flow direction switching module 5 includes an electromagnetic valve, the control parameter may include opening or closing of the electromagnetic valve; when the refrigerant flow direction switching module 5 includes an electronic expansion valve, the control parameters may include the opening size, opening or closing, and the like of the electronic expansion valve; when the refrigerant flow direction switching module 5 includes a multi-way valve (e.g., a three-way valve, a four-way valve, etc.), the control parameter may include a valve position of the multi-way valve. When the refrigerant flow direction switching module 5 includes more than one of the fluid control modules, such as an electromagnetic valve, an electronic expansion valve, and a multi-way valve, the control parameters may include more than one of the above-mentioned control parameters.

Step S30, controlling the refrigerant flow direction switching module 5 to operate according to the control parameter, so that the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 reach a target state corresponding to the target operation mode;

the target state corresponding to the first mode is a first state, the target state corresponding to the second mode is a second state, the first state is a state in which the heat exchange states of the two heat exchangers in the first heat exchange module 1 are the same and the heat exchange states of the two heat exchangers in the second heat exchange module 2 are the same, and the second state is a state in which the heat exchange states of the two heat exchangers in at least one of the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 are different.

Specifically, when the target operation mode is the first mode, the corresponding control parameter is the first parameter, and the refrigerant flow direction switching module 5 is controlled to operate according to the first parameter, so that the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 can reach the first state; when the target operation mode is the second mode and the corresponding control parameter is the second parameter, the refrigerant flow direction switching module 5 is controlled to operate according to the second parameter, so that the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 can reach the second state.

When the target operation mode is the constant temperature dehumidification mode, and the refrigerant flow direction switching module 5 operates with the second parameter, the refrigerant circulates in the first flow direction mentioned in the above embodiment. In the first downward flow, the heat exchange states of the two heat exchangers in the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 are different, specifically, the first heat exchanger 11 in the first heat exchange module 1 is in an evaporation state, the second heat exchanger 12 is in a condensation state, the third heat exchanger 21 in the second heat exchange module 2 is in a condensation state, and the fourth heat exchanger 22 is in an evaporation state. The air entering the first air duct from the first air inlet is blown out from the first air outlet after the cooling and dehumidifying effects of the first heat exchanger 11 and the heating effect of the second heat exchanger 12 respectively, and the air entering the second air duct from the second air inlet is blown out from the second air outlet after the cooling and dehumidifying effects of the fourth heat exchanger 22 and the heating effect of the third heat exchanger 21 respectively. The humidity of the air blown out from the first air outlet is reduced and the temperature of the air is unchanged compared with the air entering from the first air inlet, and the humidity of the air blown out from the second air outlet is reduced and the temperature of the air blown out from the second air inlet is unchanged compared with the air entering from the second air inlet.

When the target operation mode is the heating mode or the cooling mode, and the refrigerant flow direction switching module 5 operates with the first parameter, the refrigerant circulates in the second flow direction mentioned in the above embodiment. In the second downward flow, the heat exchange states of the two heat exchangers in the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 are the same, specifically, the first heat exchanger 11 and the second heat exchanger 12 in the first heat exchange module 1 are both in a condensation state, and the third heat exchanger 21 and the fourth heat exchanger 22 in the second heat exchange module 2 are both in an evaporation state. When the refrigerant flows in the refrigerant circulation loop in the second flow direction, the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 are in the second state, air entering the first air duct from the first air inlet is heated through the condensation action of the first heat exchanger 11 and the second heat exchanger 12 and then blown out from the second air outlet, and air entering the second air duct from the second air inlet is cooled through the evaporation action of the third heat exchanger 21 and the fourth heat exchanger 22 and then blown out from the second air outlet. Wherein the temperature of the air blown out from the first outlet is increased compared with the air entering from the first inlet, and the temperature of the air blown out from the second outlet is decreased compared with the air entering from the second inlet. When the target operation mode is the heating mode, the refrigerant flow direction switching module 5 can control the refrigerant to perform refrigerant circulation in a second flow direction, wherein the outlet air of the first air outlet can face the area where the user is located; the air outlet of the second air outlet can be separated from the area where the user is located, and the air outlet of the second air outlet can be guided to the outdoor environment through a pipeline. When the target operation mode is a refrigeration mode, the refrigerant can be controlled to perform refrigerant circulation in a second flow direction through the refrigerant flow direction switching module 5, wherein the air outlet of the second air outlet can face to the area where the user is located; the air outlet of the first air outlet can be separated from the area where the user is located, and the air outlet of the first air outlet can be guided to the outdoor environment through a pipeline.

In this embodiment, the air conditioner includes two kinds of operation modes of first mode and second mode, two heat exchanger heat transfer states in the heat transfer module are the same in two wind channels under first mode, then can make the air conditioner send into cold wind or hot-blast to the indoor environment, in order to carry out the heat transfer to the indoor environment, the heat transfer state of two heat exchangers in the heat transfer module is different in the wind channel under the second mode, the air that enters into in the wind channel can cool down the dehumidification through the heat exchanger of evaporation state respectively and heat up through the heat exchanger of condensation state, the heat exchanger of two different heat transfer states carries out temperature compensation to the air of dehumidification when can dehumidify, thereby make the air of air conditioner in to the indoor environment can not change the temperature of air in the indoor environment when dehumidifying, realize the constant temperature dehumidification of air conditioner. Based on the control parameter, the control parameter corresponding to one of the first mode and the second mode is determined to control the operation of the refrigerant flow direction switching module 5, so that the air conditioner can be switched between two functions of temperature regulation and constant temperature dehumidification according to the actual use requirement of a user, and different air conditioning requirements of the user are met.

In an implementation manner of this embodiment, when the refrigerant flow direction switching module 5 is a four-way valve, with reference to fig. 2, the step S20 specifically includes:

step S21, when the target operation mode is the first mode, using a first valve position as the control parameter;

step S22, when the target operation mode is the second mode, using a second valve position as the control parameter;

the first valve position is a valve position in which a first valve port 50a and a second valve port 50b in the four-way valve are communicated, and a third valve port 50c and a fourth valve port 50d are communicated, and the second valve position is a valve position in which the first valve port 50a and the fourth valve port 50d in the four-way valve are communicated, and the second valve port 50b and the third valve port 50c are communicated.

Specifically, when the four-way valve is switched to the first valve position, the refrigerant flows in the refrigerant circulation loop in the second flow direction, and the refrigerant flowing out of the compressor 4 sequentially passes through the second heat exchanger 12, the second valve port 50b, the first valve port 50a, the first heat exchanger 11, the throttling device 3, the third heat exchanger 21, the third valve port 50c, the fourth valve port 50d, and the fourth heat exchanger 22, and then flows back to the compressor 4. Based on this, after the high-temperature refrigerant is condensed and released heat sequentially through the second heat exchanger 12 and the first heat exchanger 11, the high-temperature refrigerant is throttled and depressurized into a low-temperature refrigerant through the throttling device 3, and the low-temperature refrigerant is evaporated and absorbed heat sequentially through the third heat exchanger 21 and the fourth heat exchanger 22, so that the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 reach a first state corresponding to the first mode.

Specifically, when the four-way valve is switched to the second valve position, the refrigerant flows in the refrigerant circulation loop in the first flow direction, and the refrigerant flowing out of the compressor 4 sequentially passes through the second heat exchanger 12, the second valve port 50b, the third valve port 50c, the third heat exchanger 21, the throttling device 3, the first heat exchanger 11, the first valve port 50a, the fourth valve port 50d, and the fourth heat exchanger 22, and then flows back to the compressor 4. Based on this, after the high-temperature refrigerant is condensed and released heat sequentially through the second heat exchanger 12 and the third heat exchanger 21, the high-temperature refrigerant is throttled and depressurized into a low-temperature refrigerant through the throttling device 3, and the low-temperature refrigerant is evaporated and absorbed heat sequentially through the first heat exchanger 11 and the fourth heat exchanger 22, so that the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 reach a second state corresponding to a second mode.

Based on the above steps S21 and S22, the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 can be switched between the first state and the second state by switching the first valve position and the second valve position of the four-way valve, so as to meet different adjustment requirements of the user with the temperature or the function requirement of constant temperature dehumidification required by the current target operation mode of the air conditioner.

In another implementation manner of this embodiment, the refrigerant flow direction switching module 5 includes a first solenoid valve 501, a second solenoid valve 502, a third solenoid valve 503 and a fourth solenoid valve 504, and with reference to fig. 3 and 7, the step S20 includes:

step S201, when the target operation mode is the first mode, taking the closed state of the first electromagnetic valve 501, the closed state of the second electromagnetic valve 502, the open state of the third electromagnetic valve 503, and the open state of the fourth electromagnetic valve 504 as the control parameters;

step S202, when the target operation mode is the second mode, using the open state of the first electromagnetic valve 501, the open state of the second electromagnetic valve 502, the close state of the third electromagnetic valve 503, and the close state of the fourth electromagnetic valve 504 as the control parameters.

Specifically, when the first solenoid valve 501 and the second solenoid valve 502 are both closed and the third solenoid valve 503 and the fourth solenoid valve 504 are both opened, the refrigerant flows in the second flow direction in the refrigerant circulation loop, and the refrigerant flowing out of the compressor 4 sequentially passes through the second heat exchanger 12, the third solenoid valve 503, the first heat exchanger 11, the throttling device 3, the third heat exchanger 21, the fourth solenoid valve 504, and the fourth heat exchanger 22 and then flows back to the compressor 4. Based on this, after the high-temperature refrigerant is condensed and released heat sequentially through the second heat exchanger 12 and the first heat exchanger 11, the high-temperature refrigerant is throttled and depressurized into a low-temperature refrigerant through the throttling device 3, and the low-temperature refrigerant is evaporated and absorbed heat sequentially through the third heat exchanger 21 and the fourth heat exchanger 22, so that the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 reach a first state corresponding to the first mode.

Specifically, when the first solenoid valve 501 and the second solenoid valve 502 are both opened and the third solenoid valve 503 and the fourth solenoid valve 504 are both closed, the refrigerant flows in the refrigerant circulation loop in the first flow direction, and the refrigerant flowing out of the compressor 4 sequentially passes through the second heat exchanger 12, the first solenoid valve 501, the third heat exchanger 21, the throttling device 3, the first heat exchanger 11, the second solenoid valve 502, and the fourth heat exchanger 22 and then flows back to the compressor 4. Based on this, after the high-temperature refrigerant is condensed and released heat sequentially through the second heat exchanger 12 and the third heat exchanger 21, the high-temperature refrigerant is throttled and depressurized into a low-temperature refrigerant through the throttling device 3, and the low-temperature refrigerant is evaporated and absorbed heat sequentially through the first heat exchanger 11 and the fourth heat exchanger 22, so that the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 reach a second state corresponding to a second mode.

Based on the above steps S201 and S202, the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2 can be switched between the first state and the second state by switching the open/close states of the four electromagnetic valves, so as to meet different adjustment requirements of users with the temperature or constant temperature dehumidification function required by the current target operation mode of the air conditioner.

Further, based on the above embodiments, another embodiment of the control method of the air conditioner of the present application is provided. In this embodiment, referring to fig. 6, the step S10 includes:

step S11, determining whether there is a user selection operation regarding the operation mode;

if yes, executing step S12 and step S13; if not, step S14 and step S15 are executed.

Specifically, whether a setting instruction of the operation mode is received within a set time before the current time or after the air conditioner is powered on can be judged, and if the setting instruction is received, the selection operation of a user is indicated; if not, the selection operation of the user does not exist.

Step S12, if the selected operation mode corresponding to the selection operation is a first mode, taking the first mode as the target operation mode;

step S13, if the selected operation mode corresponding to the selection operation is a second mode, the second mode is taken as the target operation mode.

Step S14, acquiring a current first environment temperature and a current first environment humidity;

specifically, a first ambient temperature can be obtained by acquiring data currently detected by a temperature sensor arranged in an air conditioner acting space; the first environmental humidity is obtained by acquiring data currently detected by a humidity sensor arranged in an acting space of the air conditioner.

Step S15, in the first mode and the second mode, selecting one of the first ambient temperature and the first ambient humidity as the target operation mode.

Different environmental temperatures and environmental humidities have different operating requirements on the heat exchange states of the first heat exchange module 1 and the second heat exchange module 2. Based on this, when the first ambient temperature is too high or too low, and the first ambient humidity is appropriate, the first mode can be taken as the target operation mode; the second mode may be the target operating mode when the first ambient humidity is too high or too low and the first ambient temperature is favorable.

Further, in order to ensure the accuracy of the selected target operation mode, step S15 specifically includes:

step S151, determining a temperature deviation ratio between the first ambient temperature and a set temperature, and determining a humidity deviation ratio between the first ambient humidity and the set humidity;

the set temperature specifically refers to a target temperature that needs to be reached in an environment that meets the comfort needs of the user; the set humidity refers in particular to a target humidity that is required to be reached by the environment to meet the comfort requirements of the user.

Specifically, the temperature deviation rate is first ambient temperature-set temperature/first ambient temperature. The humidity deviation ratio is first ambient humidity-set humidity/first ambient humidity.

Step S152, when the humidity deviation rate is smaller than the temperature deviation rate, taking the first mode as the target operation mode;

and step S153, when the humidity deviation rate is larger than the temperature deviation rate, taking the second mode as the target operation mode.

In this embodiment, when the user selects one of the first mode and the second mode as the operation mode of the air conditioner, the air conditioner is controlled to operate according to the mode selected by the user, so as to meet the air conditioning requirement of the user; when the user selects the operation mode of the air conditioner, the temperature and humidity conditions of the indoor environment are automatically identified, one of the first mode and the second mode is automatically selected as the operation mode of the air conditioner based on the identified temperature and humidity conditions, and therefore the operation of the air conditioner can be matched with the temperature and humidity conditions of the action environment of the air conditioner, and the air conditioner can be automatically adjusted to the state meeting the comfort requirement of the user by the environment where the air conditioner is located. Specifically, when the temperature deviation rate is greater than the humidity deviation rate, it indicates that the temperature in the environment has a greater negative impact on the comfort of the user than the humidity, and based on this, the first mode is taken as the target operation mode to quickly improve the comfort of the user; when the humidity deviation rate is larger than the temperature deviation rate, the negative influence of the humidity in the environment on the user comfort compared with the temperature is larger, and on the basis, the second mode is taken as the target operation mode to rapidly improve the user comfort.

Further, based on the above embodiments, another embodiment of the control method of the air conditioner of the present application is provided. In this embodiment, referring to fig. 7, after step S10, the method further includes:

step S401, when the target operation mode is the first mode, acquiring a current second environment temperature;

Step S402, determining the temperature deviation amount between the second environment temperature and the set temperature;

specifically, the temperature deviation amount ═ second ambient temperature-set temperature |. The set temperature here is the same temperature as that in the above-described embodiment.

Step S403, determining a first operating frequency of the compressor 4 and a first opening degree of the electronic expansion valve according to the temperature deviation amount;

different temperature deviations correspond to different operating frequencies of the compressor 4 and different opening degrees of the electronic expansion valve. The greater the temperature deviation amount, the greater the first operating frequency, and the greater the first opening degree of the electronic expansion valve.

And step S404, controlling the compressor 4 to operate according to the first operation frequency, and controlling the electronic expansion valve to operate according to the first opening degree.

It should be noted that, the sequence of the steps S401 to S404 and the steps S20 to S30 may not be limited in detail, and may be executed sequentially or synchronously according to actual requirements.

Further, based on the above embodiments, a method for controlling an air conditioner according to the present application is provided. In this embodiment, referring to fig. 8, after step S10, the method further includes:

step S410, when the target operation mode is a second mode, acquiring the current second environment humidity;

Step S420, determining a humidity deviation amount between the second ambient humidity and a set humidity;

specifically, the humidity deviation amount is the second ambient humidity-the set humidity. The set humidity here is the same humidity as that in the above-described embodiment.

Step S430, determining a second operation frequency of the compressor 4 and a second opening degree of the electronic expansion valve according to the humidity deviation amount;

different humidity deviations correspond to different operating frequencies of the compressor 4 and the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve. The greater the amount of humidity deviation, the greater the second operating frequency, and the greater the second opening degree of the electronic expansion valve.

And step S440, controlling the compressor 4 to operate according to the second operation frequency, and controlling the electronic expansion valve to operate according to the second opening degree.

It should be noted that, the sequence of the steps S410 to S440 and the steps S20 to S30 may not be limited in detail, and may be executed sequentially or synchronously according to actual requirements.
