Wherein, the reference time is the time point when the air conditioner executes the filter screen cleaning last time. And when the standby time of the air conditioner is longer than the first threshold value and the filter screen cleaning operation is finished, recalculating the standby time. And when the running time of the air conditioner is longer than the second threshold value and the filter screen cleaning operation is finished, recalculating the running time.

By adopting the method for cleaning the filter screen of the air conditioner, the air conditioner obtains the standby time and the running time. Under the condition that the standby time is longer than the first threshold, the standby time of the air conditioner is longer, and the filter screen is accumulated with dust due to the long-time unused state. And under the condition that the operation time is longer than the second threshold, the air conditioner is longer in operation time and the filter screen is dirty and blocked due to long-time use. And the air conditioner executes corresponding filter screen cleaning operation according to the reference time of the last filter screen cleaning under the condition that the two filth blockages occur. The air conditioner can clean the filter screen in time in both the standby state and the running state, and the cleaning effect of the filter screen is improved. In addition, the corresponding filter screen cleaning operation is executed according to the latest filter screen cleaning reference time, so that the phenomenon that the filter screen cleaning time point of the air conditioner in standby and the filter screen cleaning time point of the air conditioner in operation are too close to each other, the air conditioner frequently cleans the filter screen in a short time, and the energy consumption is too high is avoided. The energy consumption of the air conditioner for cleaning the filter screen is reduced.

And the air conditioner executes corresponding filter screen cleaning operation according to the time difference. The problem that the air conditioner frequently cleans the filter screen in a short time due to the fact that the time point of the air conditioner for cleaning the filter screen in standby is too close to the time point of the air conditioner for cleaning the filter screen in operation is avoided, and energy consumption of the air conditioner for cleaning the filter screen is reduced.

The cleaning time of the filter screen is adapted to the time difference value, and the cleaning effect of the filter screen is improved. Under the condition that the time difference value is smaller than the second difference value threshold value, the time point of the last time of filter screen cleaning is relatively close to the current time point, and the filter screen cleaning is only needed to be carried out according to the first circulating rotation times. And under the condition that the time difference is greater than or equal to the second difference threshold value, the time point of the last time of filter screen cleaning is relatively far from the current time point, the first circulating rotation times are compensated through the circulating rotation times of the last time of filter screen cleaning, and the target circulating rotation times are determined.

The preset condition is not limited to the two conditions, and may also be other conditions that can indicate the error of the operating parameter and the standard parameter, for example, the absolute value of the difference between the operating parameter and the standard parameter is greater than the error threshold and lasts for the second time period, or the ratio of the difference between the operating parameter and the standard parameter to the standard parameter is greater than the ratio threshold and lasts for the second time period. Therefore, under the condition that the error between the operating parameter of the air conditioner and the standard parameter is large, the dirt degree of the filter screen can be judged in time through the operating parameter.

Optionally, the air conditioner further includes, after executing the corresponding filter screen cleaning operation according to the reference time under the condition that the operation parameter satisfies the preset condition: the air conditioner acquires new operating parameters after the filter screen cleaning operation is executed; and the air conditioner sets the new operation parameters as standard parameters under the condition that the new operation parameters meet the preset conditions.

In this way, the air conditioner acquires new operating parameters after the filter screen cleaning operation is performed. If the new operating parameter still meets the preset condition, that is, the error between the new operating parameter and the standard parameter is still large after the filter screen is cleaned, it is determined that the new operating parameter deviates from the standard parameter due to other factors, for example, the new operating parameter may deviate from the standard parameter due to voltage fluctuation refrigerant loss and other reasons. In order to avoid the situation that the air conditioner judges that the operation parameters meet the preset conditions due to the problems during operation, and therefore unnecessary filter screen cleaning operation is carried out, the air conditioner takes the new operation parameters as standard parameters to avoid continuous and ceaseless over-cleaning.

Optionally, the air conditioner performs a corresponding filter screen cleaning operation according to the reference time, including: and the air conditioner executes corresponding filter screen cleaning operation according to the time difference value under the condition that the time difference value between the reference time and the current time is greater than or equal to the first difference threshold value. Therefore, the problem that the air conditioner frequently cleans the filter screen in a short time due to the fact that the time point of cleaning the filter screen when the air conditioner is in a standby state is too close to the time point of cleaning the filter screen when the air conditioner is in operation is avoided, and energy consumption of cleaning the filter screen by the air conditioner is reduced.

In this way, the first number of revolutions is compensated by the number of revolutions of the last filter screen cleaning, and the target number of revolutions is determined. And the air conditioner executes corresponding filter screen cleaning operation according to the current state and the target circulating rotation frequency. The cleaning time of the filter screen is more adaptive to the current state and the time difference value, and the cleaning effect of the filter screen is improved.

Optionally, the determining, by the air conditioner, a target number of circulations according to the first number of circulations and the last number of circulations for cleaning the filter screen includes: the air conditioner determines the compensation circulating rotation times corresponding to the circulating rotation times of the last cleaning of the filter screen according to the second relation; the air conditioner calculates the sum of the first cyclic rotation times and the compensation cyclic rotation times, and determines the sum as a target cyclic rotation time; wherein the number of compensating circulation rotations is inversely related to the number of circulation rotations of the last cleaning of the filter screen. Therefore, the air conditioner compensates the first circulating rotation times through the compensating circulating rotation times, and performs filter screen cleaning according to the compensated target circulating rotation times, so that the cleaning time and the time difference of the filter screen are more adaptive, and the cleaning effect of the filter screen is improved.

The cleaning time of the filter screen is adapted to the time difference value, and the cleaning effect of the filter screen is improved. Under the condition that the time difference value is smaller than the second difference value threshold value, the time point of the last time of filter screen cleaning is relatively close to the current time point, and the filter screen cleaning is only needed to be carried out according to the first circulating rotation times. And under the condition that the time difference is greater than or equal to the second difference threshold value, the time point of the last time of filter screen cleaning is relatively far from the current time point, the first circulating rotation times are compensated through the circulating rotation times of the last time of filter screen cleaning, and the target circulating rotation times are determined.

Referring to fig. 12, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for cleaning a filter screen of an air conditioner, including:

and S121, the air conditioner acquires the self standby time.

And S122, the air conditioner judges whether the standby time is less than the threshold value of the standby time. If not, go to S123. If yes, go to step S124.

And S123, detecting the light transmittance of the filter screen by the air conditioner.

And S124, setting the time for cleaning the filter screen for the last time as reference time by the air conditioner.

And S125, the air conditioner judges whether the difference value between the current time and the reference time is smaller than the difference threshold value. If not, go to S123. If yes, go to step S124.

S126, the air conditioner starts the cleaning assembly under the condition that the light transmittance is smaller than or equal to the set threshold value.

And S127, controlling the filter screen to rotate circularly by the air conditioner.

By adopting the method for cleaning the filter screen of the air conditioner, the energy consumption increase caused by frequent detection of the light transmittance can be reduced. Considering the use frequency of the air conditioner of the user, under the condition that the air conditioner is not used for the time length continuously set by the user, the air conditioner automatically detects the cleaning degree of the filter screen once. For example, if the user does not turn on the air conditioner for 20 consecutive days, the air conditioner detects the degree of cleaning of the filter net once. The filter screen is cleaned in a standby mode of the air conditioner, so that regular cleaning is achieved, and meanwhile, the liquid in the liquid storage device can be guaranteed to be circularly updated. And under the condition that the user frequently uses the air conditioner, the increase of the dust of the filter screen is inevitable. Therefore, the cleaning degree of the filter screen is detected once under the condition that the accumulated running time of the air conditioner reaches the difference threshold value. For example, the air conditioner detects the degree of cleaning of the filter net once every 100 hours of the cumulative operation of the air conditioner. Meanwhile, the condition that the user occasionally starts the air conditioner once and then waits for a long time is also considered in the accumulated standby time for regular cleaning. Because the air quality of each area is different, the difference threshold value can be correspondingly increased under the condition that the light transmittance of the filter screen is not required to be clean when the filter screen is continuously detected for multiple times. The increasing mode can be that the accumulated air conditioner running time between the last time of cleaning the filter screen and the time of cleaning the filter screen is set as a difference threshold value, and can also be set by a user.

Optionally, the air conditioner starts the cleaning assembly when the light transmittance is less than or equal to a set threshold, including: the air conditioner controls the water storage tank to operate a self-heating mode until a preheating condition is met under the condition that the light transmittance is smaller than or equal to a set threshold value; the air conditioner starts a cleaning nozzle under the condition of meeting the preheating condition; the air conditioner controls the washing nozzle to operate in a self-heating mode, and the liquid temperature is raised to the washing temperature. Therefore, the cleaning efficiency and the cleanliness of the filter screen can be improved. The impurities on the filter screen are difficult to remove due to the existence of substances such as lubricating oil and the like in the air conditioner, and the difficulty of cleaning can be reduced to a certain extent through high-temperature cleaning. Therefore, the intensive high-temperature high-pressure liquid can be sprayed out to clean the filter screen through the self-heating function of the cleaning nozzle, and the efficiency of cleaning the filter screen is effectively improved. Meanwhile, high-temperature damp and hot water vapor generated due to high temperature can sterilize and disinfect the filter screen.

Optionally, the starting duration of the air conditioner is obtained when the difference between the current time of the air conditioner and the reference time is smaller than the difference threshold. When the air conditioner is started for a time period longer than or equal to the liquid collecting time period, the air conditioner controls the water pump to be started, and the condensed water generated by the air conditioner is collected to the water storage tank. Therefore, condensed water can be collected through the positive rotation of the water pump and used for cleaning the filter screen, and the secondary utilization of energy is realized.

Optionally, the air conditioner controls the filter screen to rotate circularly, comprising: the air conditioner determines the target circulating rotation times of the filter screen corresponding to the light transmittance; the air conditioner controls the filter screen to circularly rotate according to the target circular rotation times. Thus, the cleaning degree of the filter screen can be improved. The rotation times required by current cleaning are judged by detecting the light transmittance of the filter screen, and the cleanliness of the filter screen after cleaning can be expected.

Optionally, the air conditioner acquires the accumulated running time of the air conditioner after the filter screen cleaning process is finished. And under the condition that the accumulated running time reaches the re-inspection time, the air conditioner detects the new light transmittance of the filter screen. And controlling the air conditioner to normally operate under the condition that the new light transmittance is greater than the set threshold value. And under the condition that the new light transmittance is smaller than or equal to the set threshold, the air conditioner sets the new light transmittance as the set threshold and reminds the user. Like this, weather the moisture on with the filter screen through air conditioner normal operating a period, and then detect the luminousness of filter screen once more, guarantee the accuracy that the luminousness detected.

Optionally, in the case of the operation of the air conditioner, the ratio of the water to the volume of the water storage tank is periodically detected. And prompting a user to fill water into the water storage tank under the condition that the proportion value is less than or equal to the proportion threshold value. Thus, when the filter screen cleaning process is started, enough water can be ensured in the water storage tank.
