Wherein, FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a defrosting control method of an air conditioner of the present invention; fig. 2 is a flowchart of a defrost control method of an air conditioner in one embodiment of the present invention.
The air conditioner mainly comprises an air conditioner outdoor unit and an air conditioner indoor unit, wherein the air conditioner outdoor unit is provided with a compressor and an outer fan, the air conditioner indoor unit comprises an indoor heat exchanger and an inner fan, the air conditioner indoor unit also comprises an air outlet for guiding air flow flowing through the indoor heat exchanger into a room, and the air flow enters the indoor unit under the driving of the inner fan and is blown out through the air outlet after being cooled by the indoor heat exchanger. The air outlet is provided with a distance measuring device which is used for detecting the distance between the air outlet and the position, opposite to the distance measuring device, on the surface of the indoor heat exchanger. The air conditioner includes a memory and a processor. The air conditioner of the invention can be a split type air conditioner or an integrated type air conditioner.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the defrosting control method of the present invention includes the steps of:
step S10: when the air conditioner is in a refrigerating mode, acquiring the distance between the distance measuring device and the position, opposite to the distance measuring device, on the surface of the indoor heat exchanger;
In step S10, the indoor heat exchanger is a fin coil heat exchanger, including a plurality of fins sleeved on the hairpin tube, the ranging device may be a laser ranging sensor or an infrared ranging sensor, and the like, and since the temperature at the air outlet is lowest, the fins at the air outlet are most prone to frosting, so that the ranging device is arranged on the fins close to the air outlet, the distance between the position of the fins opposite to the ranging device and the ranging device can be detected, and whether a frost layer exists on the fins is judged through the distance.
Step S11: if the distance is smaller than the first preset distance, controlling the air conditioner to enter a first defrosting mode;
In step S11, the first preset distance may be set within a range of 0.5 to 1mm, and when the distance is smaller than the first preset distance, it indicates that frosting on the fins is serious, thereby controlling the air conditioner to perform the first defrosting mode.
The first defrosting mode is specifically to control the compressor and the external fan of the air conditioner to stop and control the internal fan of the air conditioner to run at a first rotating speed, which can be set to 1100-1200 rpm.
Step S12: if the distance is greater than or equal to the first preset distance and smaller than the second preset distance, acquiring the air outlet temperature at the air outlet;
In step S12, at least one temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the fins is disposed at the air outlet of the indoor heat exchanger, the second preset distance may be set within a range of 1-1.5 mm, and when the distance is greater than or equal to the first preset distance and less than the second preset distance, it is unable to determine whether the obstacle on the fins is a frost layer or dust, and further obtain the air outlet temperature at the air outlet through the temperature sensor for subsequent determination.
Step S121: if the air outlet temperature is smaller than the first preset temperature and is larger than or equal to the second preset temperature, controlling the air conditioner to enter a second defrosting mode;
In step S121, the first preset temperature may be set within a range of 0-5 ℃, and when the air outlet temperature is less than the first preset temperature, the temperature on the current fin on the surface is lower, so that it can be determined that frost is being formed on the current fin, and the air conditioner is further controlled to enter a defrosting mode.
The second preset temperature may be set within a range of-5 to 0 ℃, when the air outlet temperature is less than the first preset temperature and greater than or equal to the second preset temperature, the temperature on the current fin is indicated to be lower, thereby judging that frosting is occurring on the current fin, controlling the air conditioner to enter a second defrosting mode, i.e., controlling the compressor and the outer fan of the air conditioner to stop, and controlling the inner fan of the air conditioner to operate at a second rotational speed, which may be set to 800 to 900rpm.
The climate temperature is quite different in different areas, especially the temperature difference in summer is quite large in the north and south, and the day and night temperature difference is quite large, for example, the average temperature is not higher than 30 ℃ in the outside of summer in some south areas, and the average temperature is close to 40 ℃ in the outside of summer in some north areas.
In view of this, the invention distinguishes according to the refrigerating season's environment in the area where the air conditioner is located, can give the appropriate first preset temperature to the ambient temperature in different areas, improve the judgement accuracy to defrosting opportunity.
Step S122: if the air outlet temperature is smaller than the second preset temperature, controlling the air conditioner to enter a third defrosting mode;
In step S122, when the air outlet temperature is less than the second preset temperature, it indicates that the temperature on the current fin is low, and the frosting situation on the current fin is serious, and the air conditioner is controlled to enter a third defrosting mode, i.e. the compressor and the external fan of the air conditioner are controlled to stop, and the internal fan of the air conditioner is controlled to operate according to the third rotation speed.
The third rotation speed may be set to 900 to 1100rpm.
Step S123: if the air outlet temperature is not less than the first preset temperature, controlling the air conditioner to enter a self-cleaning mode;
in step S123, when the temperature of the air outlet is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, it indicates that the current fin has an obstacle, but the temperature of the fin is not reduced, so as to determine that the obstacle on the current fin is dust, and control the air conditioner to execute the self-cleaning mode.
Step S20: and after the air conditioner operates in the defrosting mode for a first preset time, controlling the air conditioner to exit the defrosting mode.
In step S20, the first preset duration is a preset value of the system, which may be any value in the range of 10 to 60 minutes. If the compressor and the external fan are closed for a long time, only the internal fan is opened, so that the indoor environment temperature is higher, and the use experience of a user is influenced. Therefore, the defrosting mode operation time period of the air conditioner can be adjusted to a fixed value according to the actual usage habit, for example, the first preset time period can be set to 20 minutes, 30 minutes, or the like.
In the step S20, the operation duration of the defrosting mode may be controlled differently according to the specific frosting degree, for example, in a possible embodiment, when the current defrosting mode is the first defrosting mode, the inner fan may be controlled to operate at the first rotational speed for 30 minutes; when the current defrosting mode is the second defrosting mode, the inner fan can be controlled to run for 10 minutes at the second rotating speed; when the current defrosting mode is the third defrosting mode, the inner fan can be controlled to run for 20 minutes at the third rotating speed.
After the operation of step S20 is finished, the distance between the fins at the air outlet and the distance measuring device can be detected again by using the distance measuring device, so as to judge whether the frost layer on the indoor heat exchanger is completely removed, and avoid the phenomenon that the frost on the indoor heat exchanger is not completely removed and the air conditioner exits the defrosting mode.
According to the defrosting control method of the air conditioner, when the air conditioner is in the refrigerating mode, the distance between the distance measuring device and the position, opposite to the distance measuring device, on the surface of the indoor heat exchanger can be detected by the distance measuring device arranged at the air outlet, so that whether frosting and frosting thickness on the fins at the air outlet are reliably estimated according to the detected distance.
If the distance exceeds the first preset distance, which indicates that the frost layer is thick, judging that the frost is seriously formed on the fins at the air outlet, and directly controlling the air conditioner to execute a first defrosting mode without acquiring the temperature of the fins;
if the distance is greater than or equal to the first preset distance and smaller than the second preset distance, acquiring the current fin temperature, and when the fin temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature and greater than or equal to the second preset temperature, judging that frosting on the fins at the air outlet is not serious, and that a frost layer is not thick, and controlling the air conditioner to execute a second defrosting mode;
And if the current fin temperature is smaller than the second preset temperature, which indicates that the current fin frosts seriously, controlling the air conditioner to enter a third defrosting mode. The air conditioner can be judged based on the surface condition of the current indoor heat exchanger and the temperature of the fins at the air outlet, so that the defrosting start control method is more reasonable, and the air conditioner can defrost timely and effectively.
In a possible implementation manner, the defrosting control method of the air conditioner may be further adjusted to only detect a distance between the ranging device and a position on the surface of the indoor heat exchanger, where the position is opposite to the ranging device, selectively control the air conditioner to enter a defrosting mode according to the distance, and if the distance is smaller than a first preset distance, control the air conditioner to enter the first defrosting mode; if the distance is not smaller than the first preset distance, the fact that the current indoor heat exchanger is not frosted or the frosting degree is not serious is indicated, and defrosting can be not performed.
The operation duration of the defrost mode may be determined according to the frosting degree and the defrosting condition of the air conditioner.
In one embodiment, the distance measuring device adopts an infrared distance sensor, the infrared distance sensor is fixed on the fin at the air outlet, and the infrared distance sensor can detect frosting on the surface of the fin at the air outlet.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the defrosting control method of the present invention includes the steps of:
Step S10: when the air conditioner is in a refrigerating mode, acquiring the distance between the infrared distance sensor and the fins at the air outlet;
Step S11: if the distance is less than 1mm, controlling the air conditioner to enter a first defrosting mode;
In step S11, a first defrosting mode is entered, that is, the compressor and the external fan of the air conditioner are controlled to stop, and the internal fan of the air conditioner is controlled to operate at 1200rpm, that is, when the frost layer is thicker, the distance between the infrared distance sensor and the fins at the air outlet is smaller than 1mm, the current frosting degree is judged to be serious frosting, and when the first defrosting mode is operated, the air conditioner stops refrigerating for a period of time, and the purpose of defrosting is achieved by using the high-speed rotation of the indoor unit of the air conditioner.
Step S12: if the distance is more than or equal to 1mm and less than 1.5mm, acquiring the air outlet temperature at the air outlet;
Specifically, a temperature sensor is arranged on the fin at the air outlet and is used for detecting the real-time temperature of the fin at the air outlet.
The temperature sensor can continuously detect the temperature of the fins at the current air outlet, and the detected temperatures are sent to a memory of the air conditioner for further calculation and processing, and the final current temperature of the fins is the average value or the lowest value of the temperatures detected by the temperature sensor.
The outlet air temperature in the step S12 is the lowest value of the plurality of current fin temperatures.
Step S121: if the temperature of the air outlet is less than 3 ℃ and greater than or equal to 0 ℃, controlling the air conditioner to enter a second defrosting mode;
In step S121, 3 ℃ and 0 ℃ are only exemplary, and do not limit the protection scope of the present invention, and in practical application, the user may flexibly set according to different defrosting requirements. When the air outlet temperature is less than 3 ℃ and greater than or equal to 0 ℃, judging that the current frosting degree is primary frosting, controlling the air conditioner to enter a second defrosting mode, namely controlling the compressor and the outer fan of the air conditioner to stop, and controlling the inner fan of the air conditioner to operate according to 800 rpm;
step S122: if the temperature of the air outlet is less than 0 ℃, controlling the air conditioner to enter a third defrosting mode;
In step S122, when the air outlet temperature is less than 0 ℃, judging that the current frosting degree is medium frosting, controlling the air conditioner to enter a third defrosting mode, namely controlling the compressor and the external fan of the air conditioner to stop, and controlling the internal fan of the air conditioner to operate according to 1000 rpm;
step S123: if the temperature of the air outlet is not less than 3 ℃, controlling the air conditioner to enter a self-cleaning mode;
Step S20: and after the air conditioner operates in the defrosting mode for 30 minutes, controlling the air conditioner to exit the defrosting mode.
In summary, the defrosting control method of the air conditioner disclosed by the invention comprehensively judges whether the air conditioner executes the defrosting mode or not by measuring the distance between the indoor heat exchanger and the distance measuring device and acquiring the air outlet temperature at the air outlet, and not only judges whether the air conditioner frosts or not by detecting the air outlet temperature at the air outlet, but also can accurately judge the time when the air conditioner enters the defrosting mode, thereby avoiding the occurrence of the condition that frost is not removed or frost is not removed as much as possible, and ensuring the timeliness and the effectiveness of the defrosting of the air conditioner.
