Similarly, the third solenoid valve 123 may be disposed in front of the input end of the second microchannel heat exchanger 132, the refrigerant entering the third refrigerant pipeline 143 first passes through the third solenoid valve 123, and then enters the second microchannel heat exchanger 132, and when the third solenoid valve 123 is in a closed state, the refrigerant does not enter the cold storage module 130, so as to avoid unnecessary heat exchange.
It should be noted that, in order to implement the control of the air conditioner, an expansion valve 160 may be further disposed at the refrigerant input end of the indoor heat exchanger, a gas-liquid separator 170 is disposed at the input end of the compressor 150, and the structures and principles of the expansion valve 160 and the gas-liquid separator 170 are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described herein.
Based on the air conditioner 100 described above, various embodiments of the air conditioner control method of the present invention are proposed.
As shown in fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart of a control method of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, which can be applied to the controller of the air conditioner shown in fig. 1, and the control method of the air conditioner includes, but is not limited to, step S210.
Step S210: when the air conditioner is switched to a refrigeration mode, the air conditioner is controlled to operate in a first refrigeration control mode, wherein in the operation process of the first refrigeration control mode, the first electromagnetic valve is in a closed state, the second electromagnetic valve is in an open state, and a refrigerant output by the outdoor heat exchanger flows through the cold accumulation module through the second refrigerant pipeline and absorbs cold energy of the cold accumulation module and then is input into the indoor heat exchanger.
The supercooling degree of the refrigerant refers to a difference value between a saturation temperature corresponding to the pressure of the refrigerant output by the outdoor radiator and the actual temperature of the refrigerant, and the higher the supercooling degree of the refrigerant is, the higher the refrigerating capacity per unit mass of the refrigerant is, and the better cooling effect can be achieved. The refrigerant of outdoor heat exchanger output is the liquid refrigerant that obtains after the heat dissipation, in order to improve the super-cooled rate of refrigerant, this embodiment is after the air conditioner switches to the refrigeration mode, close first solenoid valve and open the second solenoid valve, first refrigerant pipeline is truncated by first solenoid valve, the liquid refrigerant passes through the circulation of second refrigerant pipeline, and flow through the cold-storage module in the flow process, because the cold-storage module stores cold volume in advance, through the phase transition release cold volume of cold-storage material, make the liquid refrigerant can absorb cold in the cold-storage module and cool down, the secondary super-cooled of liquid refrigerant has been realized, improve the super-cooled rate of liquid refrigerant through the actual temperature that reduces liquid refrigerant. Through the technical scheme of this embodiment, the cold volume that the utilization was saved in the cold-storage module in advance is cooled down to liquid refrigerant, make the temperature of the liquid refrigerant that gets into indoor heat exchanger obtain effectual reduction when exporting from outdoor heat exchanger, switch to the refrigeration mode at the air conditioner, the refrigerant does not get into under the circumstances that the circulation leads to refrigerant quantity not enough, the promotion of unit mass refrigerating output has been realized to the refrigerant that the temperature is lower, effectively improve indoor cooling efficiency, make indoor temperature can descend sooner, let the user experience cool and pleased in feeling in the shorter time, improve user experience.
It should be noted that the triggering instruction of the first refrigeration control mode may be that the air conditioner is switched to the refrigeration mode, for example, the air conditioner is started from a shutdown state and enters the refrigeration mode, in this scenario, each fan and compressor of the air conditioner are started, the refrigerant starts to flow in each refrigerant pipeline, and reaches a normal cycle after a period of time, and before reaching the normal cycle, the supercooling degree of the refrigerant entering the indoor heat exchanger can be increased by operating the first refrigeration control mode, so that the refrigeration effect is improved, and rapid refrigeration is realized. Of course, the first refrigeration control mode may also be started when the air conditioner is switched from another operation mode to the refrigeration mode, for example, the air draft mode may be switched to the refrigeration mode, so that the refrigerant does not enter the refrigeration cycle when being switched to the refrigeration mode.
In addition, as shown in fig. 3, fig. 3 is a specific flowchart of step S210 in fig. 2, and in the example of fig. 3, step S210 further includes, but is not limited to, step S310 to step S320.

and step S320, when the ambient temperature is greater than or equal to a preset first temperature threshold value, controlling the air conditioner to operate in a first refrigeration control mode.
It should be noted that, after the air conditioner is switched to the refrigeration mode, according to the description of the above embodiment, the rapid cooling may be implemented through the first refrigeration control mode, and under the condition that the indoor temperature is appropriate, the air conditioner enters the refrigeration mode from the shutdown state, even if the rapid cooling is not performed, the user may not feel uncomfortable because of the room temperature, and may waste the cold energy stored in the cold storage module.
It can be understood that the collection of the ambient temperature can be realized by a temperature sensor arranged in the indoor unit, the collection of the ambient temperature can be real-time collection when the air conditioner is in a power-on state, or collection can be performed according to a set collection period, and a person skilled in the art knows how to set the temperature sensor and obtain the ambient temperature according to actual needs, which is not described herein in detail.
It should be noted that the first temperature threshold may be set according to an actual requirement, for example, a higher temperature value may be set as the first temperature threshold, and when the ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold, it may be determined that the current indoor temperature is higher, and a user may feel hot indoors, and needs to quickly cool the user as soon as possible to improve the cooling experience of the air conditioner.
In addition, as shown in fig. 4, fig. 4 is a specific flowchart further included after step S320 in fig. 3, and in the example of fig. 4, step S210 further includes, but is not limited to, step S410.
And S410, when the ambient temperature is lower than the first temperature threshold value, controlling the air conditioner to operate in a second refrigeration control mode, wherein in the operation process of the second refrigeration control mode, the first electromagnetic valve is in an open state, the second electromagnetic valve is in a closed state, and the refrigerant output by the outdoor heat exchanger is input to the indoor heat exchanger through the first refrigerant pipeline.
It should be noted that, with reference to the scheme of the embodiment shown in fig. 3, when the ambient temperature is less than the first temperature threshold, it may be determined that the current indoor temperature is relatively proper, the user experience improvement caused by operating the first refrigeration control mode is relatively small, and the indoor temperature is also easily reduced to be lower than the set temperature, for example, when the indoor temperature is close to the refrigeration temperature set by the user, if the first refrigeration control mode is operated, the indoor temperature is rapidly reduced to be lower than the refrigeration temperature set by the user, but the user experience is affected, therefore, when the ambient temperature is less than the first temperature threshold, it may be considered that rapid refrigeration is not needed, at this time, the second refrigeration control mode may be operated, the first electromagnetic valve is opened, the second electromagnetic valve is closed, so that the refrigerant output by the outdoor heat exchanger directly enters the indoor heat exchanger through the first refrigerant pipeline, and performs conventional refrigeration, the cold energy stored by the cold accumulation module is saved under the condition of ensuring the user experience.
In addition, as shown in fig. 5, fig. 3 is a specific flowchart further included after step S320 in fig. 2, and in the example of fig. 5, step S320 further includes, but is not limited to, step S510 to step S520.
Step S510, acquiring a preset first time length threshold;
and step S520, when the running time of the first refrigeration control mode is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, controlling the air conditioner to run in a second refrigeration control mode, wherein in the running process of the second refrigeration control mode, the first electromagnetic valve is in an open state, the second electromagnetic valve is in a closed state, and the refrigerant output by the outdoor heat exchanger is input into the indoor heat exchanger through the first refrigerant pipeline.
It should be noted that the operation duration of the first cooling mode can be obtained through a timing function set in the air conditioner, which is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described herein.
It should be noted that the first time threshold may be set according to the cooling rate and the cooling demand of the first refrigeration control mode, for example, in the first refrigeration control mode, the indoor temperature may be decreased by N degrees in a unit time, and the user may feel cooling when the indoor temperature is decreased by M degrees, so that the first time threshold may be set according to a quotient of M and N, or may be determined according to other rules, and the user may generate cooling after the first refrigeration control mode operates according to the first time threshold.
It should be noted that, the first refrigeration control mode is operated not to reduce the room temperature to the refrigeration temperature set by the user at the fastest speed, but to realize rapid cooling by using the cold energy stored in advance, so that after the first refrigeration control mode is operated according to the first time threshold, it can be determined that the room temperature has been effectively reduced, so that the user generates cool feeling.
It should be noted that, if the operation duration of the first refrigeration control mode does not reach the first duration threshold, it may be determined that the rapid cooling process does not reach the preset rapid cooling effect, and the first refrigeration control mode may be continuously operated.
In addition, as shown in fig. 6, fig. 6 is a specific flowchart further included after step S410 in fig. 4 or after step S520 in fig. 5, and in the example of fig. 6, step S610 is further included but not limited to after step S410 or step S520.
And step S610, controlling the air conditioner to operate in a first cold accumulation control mode, wherein in the first cold accumulation control mode, the third electromagnetic valve is in an open state, the fourth electromagnetic valve is in a closed state, and a refrigerant output by the indoor heat exchanger flows through the cold accumulation module through the third refrigerant pipeline to absorb heat of the cold accumulation module and then is input into the compressor.
It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 1, the compressor is connected to the third refrigerant pipeline and the fourth refrigerant pipeline at the same time, after the fourth electromagnetic valve is closed and the third electromagnetic valve is opened, the high-temperature refrigerant output by the indoor heat exchanger is input to the cold accumulation module through the third refrigerant pipeline, and the high-temperature refrigerant before compression is used as a cold source of the cold accumulation module, so that the heat is released to the high-temperature refrigerant through the phase change effect in the phase change cold accumulation material, the temperature of the phase change cold accumulation material is reduced through the heat release, and the cold accumulation is realized; meanwhile, the high-temperature refrigerant absorbing heat enters the compressor to be compressed, and the cold storage of the cold storage module can be realized by utilizing the refrigerant circulation of the air conditioner through operating the first cold storage control mode.
It should be noted that, although second refrigerant pipeline and third refrigerant pipeline all are connected with the cold-storage module, because the microchannel heat exchanger who connects is different, consequently can realize different energy release, the cold volume of cold-storage module releases the low temperature refrigerant of second refrigerant pipeline input, and simultaneously, the heat of cold-storage module releases the high temperature refrigerant of third refrigerant pipeline input, and specific phase transition heat transfer process is the technique that technical staff in this field can know, does not do more here and describe.
It is to be noted that, referring to the description of the above embodiment, in the first refrigeration control mode, the refrigerant needs to absorb the cooling capacity of the cold storage module from the cold storage module, so if the first cold storage control mode is operated in the first refrigeration control mode to provide the cooling capacity for the cold storage module, it is difficult to ensure that the cooling capacity of the cold storage module is sufficient, and the control is too complicated, so the first cold storage control mode can be operated in the operation process of the second refrigeration control mode, and the cooling capacity is stored in the cold storage module in advance before the first refrigeration control mode is operated next time, so as to ensure that the cooling capacity is stored in the cold storage module when the first refrigeration control mode is operated.
In addition, as shown in fig. 7, fig. 7 is a specific flowchart of step S610 in fig. 6, and in the example of fig. 7, step S610 further includes, but is not limited to, step S710 to step S720.
Step S710, acquiring the suction temperature of the compressor;
and S720, when the air suction temperature is less than a preset second temperature threshold value, controlling the air conditioner to operate in a first cold storage control mode.
As can be known by those skilled in the art, the suction temperature of the compressor is the temperature of the refrigerant at the input end of the compressor, and can be collected by setting a temperature sensor in the compressor, which is not described herein.
It should be noted that, referring to the description of the above embodiment, the cold storage module realizes cold storage by releasing heat to a high temperature refrigerant, the temperature of the high temperature refrigerant has a certain influence on the heat release efficiency of the cold storage module, the lower the temperature of the high temperature refrigerant, the higher the heat release efficiency of the cold storage module, and in case of the high temperature refrigerant being too high, not only the burden of the compressor is increased, but also the temperature of the refrigerant output by the compressor is affected, based on this, the second temperature threshold is set in this embodiment, by comparing the suction temperature with the second temperature threshold, when the suction temperature is less than the second temperature threshold, the temperature of the high temperature refrigerant entering the compressor is lower, so as to realize better heat suction effect in the cold storage module, it can be understood that the second temperature threshold can be adjusted according to actual requirements, for example, determined by the specific working parameters of the compressor and the outdoor heat exchanger, the cold storage module can represent that the high-temperature refrigerant has enough cold energy to absorb heat.
In addition, as shown in fig. 8, fig. 8 is a specific flowchart further included after step S710 in fig. 7, and in the example of fig. 8, step S710 further includes, but is not limited to, step S810.
And step S810, when the air suction temperature is greater than or equal to a second temperature threshold value, controlling the air conditioner to operate in a second cold accumulation control mode, wherein in the second cold accumulation control mode, the third electromagnetic valve is in a closed state, the fourth electromagnetic valve is in an open state, and the refrigerant output by the indoor heat exchanger is input into the compressor through a fourth refrigerant pipeline.
It should be noted that, with reference to the description of the above embodiment, after the first refrigeration control mode is operated, although rapid cooling is achieved, a certain difference may exist between the indoor temperature and the refrigeration temperature set by the user, the air conditioner is also in the high-load refrigeration state in the second refrigeration control mode, at this time, the temperature of the high-temperature refrigerant output by the indoor heat exchanger is high, and the air suction temperature is easily greater than or equal to the second temperature threshold value, in this case, even if the high-temperature refrigerant is input to the cold storage module for heat exchange, the heat exchange efficiency is low, in most use scenes, the air conditioner is operated for a certain time after reaching the set refrigeration temperature, and at this time, the second refrigeration control mode is operated, and the cold storage module does not need to be used for secondary supercooling of the refrigerant, so that the air conditioner can be controlled to operate in the second cold storage control mode, the third electromagnetic valve is closed to block the high-temperature from entering the cold storage module, but directly enters the compressor through a fourth refrigerant pipeline to carry out the subsequent flow.
It should be noted that, under the second refrigeration control mode and the second cold accumulation control mode, the air conditioner is in a conventional refrigeration process, a high-temperature refrigerant output by the indoor heat exchanger enters the compressor through the fourth refrigerant pipeline, the compressed refrigerant is input into the outdoor heat exchanger for heat exchange, and an obtained low-temperature refrigerant enters the indoor heat exchanger through the first refrigerant pipeline for refrigeration.
In addition, as shown in fig. 9, fig. 9 is a specific flowchart further included after step S810 in fig. 8, and in the example of fig. 9, step S810 further includes, but is not limited to, step S910 to step S930.

step S920, when the operation time of the second cold accumulation control mode is equal to the second time threshold, the air suction temperature of the compressor is obtained again;
and step S930, when the retrieved suction temperature of the compressor is less than the second temperature threshold, controlling the air conditioner to operate the first cold storage control mode.
It can be understood that, in the operation process of the second cold accumulation control mode, along with the reduction of the indoor temperature, the air suction temperature can be gradually reduced, therefore, the set second time length threshold value can be used as the acquisition period of the air suction temperature, in the process of operating the second cold accumulation control mode, the air suction temperature is acquired once every time length corresponding to one second time length threshold value is spaced, and is compared with the second temperature threshold value, when the air suction temperature is detected to be smaller than the second temperature threshold value, the first cold accumulation control mode is operated to store cold energy, so that the cold energy is stored in advance for the next operation of the first refrigeration control mode under the condition that the refrigeration load of the air conditioner is lower, and the energy release efficiency of the cold accumulation module is improved.
It should be noted that, the specific value of the second duration threshold may be set according to actual requirements, which is not limited in this embodiment.

It should be noted that, according to the description of the embodiment shown in fig. 5, the operation duration of the first refrigeration control mode is the first time threshold, the third time threshold may be preset, on the premise that the air suction temperature is less than the second temperature threshold, the operation duration of the first cold storage control mode is timed, and when the operation duration of the first cold storage control mode is equal to the third time threshold, it may be determined that the heat release of the cold storage module is sufficient, and the cold stored in the cold storage module is sufficient to maintain the operation of the first refrigeration control mode, and at this time, it is not necessary to add cold to the cold storage module, and the air conditioner may be controlled to operate the second cold storage control mode.
It can be understood that the specific value of the third time length threshold may be adjusted according to an actual requirement, for example, determined according to the maximum cooling capacity and the maximum heat release efficiency that can be stored by the cold storage module, or determined according to the first time length threshold to determine the cooling capacity required by executing the first refrigeration control model once, which is not limited in this embodiment.

It should be noted that, in the operation process of the first refrigeration control mode, the refrigerant does not enter into the normal circulation yet, the circulation path of the refrigerant is increased by operating the first cold accumulation control mode, on the contrary, the process of the refrigerant entering into the refrigeration circulation is slowed down, and according to the description of the above embodiment, the cold accumulation module stores enough cold energy in advance, under the condition, the second cold accumulation control mode can be operated, the third electromagnetic valve is closed and the fourth electromagnetic valve is opened, so that the high-temperature refrigerant output by the indoor heat exchanger enters the compressor through the fourth refrigerant pipeline, and the efficiency of the refrigerant entering into the normal refrigeration circulation is accelerated.
In addition, as shown in fig. 12, fig. 12 is a specific flowchart further included after step S210 in fig. 2, and in the example of fig. 12, step S1210 is further included after step S210, but is not limited thereto.
Step 1210, adjusting the rotation speed of the outdoor fan to a preset rotation speed.
It should be noted that, under the condition that the indoor temperature is relatively high, the temperature of the high-temperature refrigerant output by the indoor heat exchanger is relatively high, so that the preset rotating speed of the outdoor fan can be set to be the maximum rotating speed, the heat exchange effect of the outdoor heat exchanger is increased by increasing the rotating speed, and the preset rotating speed can be adjusted according to actual requirements.

After that, the air conditioner starts to execute judgment, when the condition that the refrigeration mode is started after shutdown exists, and further judges whether the indoor temperature T2 is greater than a first temperature threshold value D, if so, the air conditioner can be determined to execute rapid refrigeration, the second electromagnetic valve and the third electromagnetic valve are closed, the first electromagnetic valve and the fourth electromagnetic valve are opened, the first refrigeration control mode and the second cold accumulation control mode are operated, meanwhile, the rotating speed of an outdoor fan is adjusted to be the highest rotating speed, so that low-temperature refrigerant output by the outdoor heat exchanger enters the cold accumulation module through a second refrigerant pipeline, secondary supercooling is realized by absorbing cold energy stored in the process, and the cooled low-temperature refrigerant is input to the indoor heat exchanger, so that the heat exchange effect of the indoor heat exchanger is effectively improved, after the operating duration of the first refrigeration mode meets the first time threshold value E1, the indoor temperature is considered to achieve the effect of rapid reduction, and ending the flow.
