When the indoor heat exchanger is used as a condenser, the air conditioner is used as a heater of a heating mode, and when the indoor heat exchanger is used as an evaporator, the air conditioner is used as a cooler of a cooling mode.
An attenuation compensation control method of an air conditioner and a water pump thereof according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 1 to 7.
Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a structure of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, an air conditioner includes: the refrigerant circulation circuit 10, the compressor 20, the water tank 30, the water pump 40, the high water level switch 50, the low water level switch 60, and the controller 70. The refrigerant circulation loop 10 circulates a refrigerant in a loop formed by the compressor 20, the condenser, the expansion valve, the evaporator, the four-way valve and the pressure reducer; the compressor 20 is used for compressing low-temperature low-pressure refrigerant gas into high-temperature high-pressure refrigerant gas and discharging the high-temperature high-pressure refrigerant gas to the condenser; the water tank 30 is used for collecting condensed water generated by the operation of the condenser; the water pump 40 is arranged at the bottom of the water tank 30 and is used for pumping out condensed water in the water tank 30 during operation; a high water level switch 50 is disposed within the water tank 30 for closing when the level of the condensed water reaches a first water level threshold value for characterizing the high water level, or opening when the level of the condensed water does not reach the first water level threshold value; a low water level switch 60 is disposed within the water tank 30 for closing when the level of the condensed water reaches a second water level threshold value indicative of a low water level, or opening when the level of the condensed water does not reach the second water level threshold value; the controller 70 is configured to: after the air conditioner is started to operate, the compensation zone bit of the water pump 40 is set to 0, the high water level switch 50 is determined to be closed, the water pump 40 is controlled to operate according to a preset rated voltage value, and a current operating current value of the water pump 40 is obtained, when the low water level switch is closed 60, whether the water pump 40 mechanically attenuates is judged according to the current operating current value and the compensation zone bit, if yes, the compensation zone bit is set to 1, and a current environment temperature is obtained, the driving voltage of the water pump 40 is adjusted according to the current environment temperature, the current operating current value of the water pump 40 and the rated current value of the water pump 40, so that attenuation compensation is carried out on the operation process of the water pump 40, and then the current operating current of the water pump 40 is continuously detected.
Specifically, when the compensation flag bit of the water pump 40 is 0, it indicates that the running process of the water pump 40 is not subjected to attenuation compensation; when the compensation flag of the water pump 40 is 1, it indicates that the operation of the water pump 40 has been subjected to the attenuation compensation. In the process of controlling the operation of the water pump 40, if it is determined that the mechanical damping of the water pump 40 occurs, that is, damping compensation needs to be performed on the operation process of the water pump 40, at this time, a compensation flag bit of the water pump 40 is set to 1. When the controller 70 detects that the compensation flag bit of the water pump 40 is 1 before the low water level switch 60 is turned off, i.e., before the water pump 40 is controlled to stop running, the damping compensation is not performed on the running process of the water pump 40, i.e., after it is determined that the mechanical damping occurs on the water pump 40 during each running process of the water pump 40, the damping compensation is performed only once. That is, during one operation of the water pump 40, if the water pump 40 is mechanically attenuated, the driving voltage of the water pump 40 is adjusted only once according to the current ambient temperature, the current operating current value of the water pump 40 and the rated current value of the water pump 40 until the water pump 40 stops operating, the compensation flag bit of the water pump 40 is set to 0, and when the water pump 40 meets the operating condition again, if the water pump 40 is mechanically attenuated, the attenuation compensation is performed for the second time.
In a specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, after the air conditioner is started and operated, the compensation flag bit of the water pump 40 is set to 0, the controller 70 firstly detects whether the water level switch 50 is closed, if the water level switch 50 is closed, which indicates that the condensed water in the water tank 30 is more, the water pump 40 needs to be controlled to operate according to a preset rated voltage value to pump out the condensed water in the water tank 30, and it should be noted that the rated voltage value is the optimal voltage when the water pump 40 works normally; if the high water level switch 50 is turned off, the driving voltage of the water pump 40 is controlled to be 0, i.e., the water pump 40 is controlled to stop running. In the water pumping process of the water pump 40, if the low water level switch 60 is closed, the water pump 40 is still in a water pumping state, at the moment, whether the water pump 40 is mechanically attenuated is judged according to the current working current value and the compensation zone bit, if the water pump 40 is mechanically attenuated, the driving voltage of the water pump 40 is adjusted according to the current environment temperature, the current working current value of the water pump 40 and the rated current value of the water pump 40, so that attenuation compensation is carried out on the running process of the water pump 40, the compensation zone bit is set to be 1, and otherwise, the running process of the water pump 40 is not carried out on attenuation compensation; when the low water level switch 60 is turned off, which indicates that condensed water has been pumped out cleanly, the water pump 40 is controlled to stop operating, and the compensation flag bit is set to 0.
In one embodiment of the invention, as shown in fig. 3, the controller is specifically configured to: in the water pumping process of the water pump, if the current working current value is larger than the rated current value and the compensation flag bit is 0, determining that the mechanical attenuation of the water pump occurs, otherwise, determining that the mechanical attenuation of the water pump does not occur.
Specifically, in the water pumping process of the water pump, if the low water level switch is closed, the current working current value of the water pump is larger than the rated current value and the compensation zone bit is 0, the water pump is mechanically attenuated due to the influence of mechanical abrasion, in the running process, attenuation compensation is not performed, so that the pumping amount in the same time is reduced, the water draining effect of the air conditioner is poor, the user experience is poor, the running process of the water pump is required to be attenuated and compensated, otherwise, the water pump is not influenced by the mechanical abrasion, mechanical attenuation is not generated, the water pump can be driven to continue running under the current rated voltage until condensed water is pumped out completely, and the low water level switch is opened.
In one embodiment of the invention, as shown in fig. 4, the controller is specifically configured to: after determining that the mechanical attenuation of the water pump occurs, calculating the difference value between the current working current value and the rated current value; and adjusting the driving voltage of the water pump according to the difference value, the rated current value and the current ambient temperature so as to carry out attenuation compensation on the running process of the water pump.
Specifically, after the mechanical attenuation of the water pump occurs, the current working current value of the water pump becomes larger, intermittent idle running of the rotating vane occurs, and the larger the difference value between the current working current value and the rated current value is, the more serious the mechanical attenuation is. Thus, after mechanical damping of the water pump, the difference between the current operating current value and the nominal current value of the water pump may be used as a factor for damping compensation during operation of the water pump. Meanwhile, a water pump protection mechanism of the mobile air conditioner is introduced, and when the water pump is subjected to attenuation compensation, namely, when the driving voltage of the water pump is adjusted, the rated current value and the current environment temperature of the water pump are taken into consideration, so that the pump body is prevented from being damaged, and the working reliability of the water pump is improved.
In one embodiment of the invention, the controller is specifically configured to: after the mechanical attenuation of the water pump is determined, when the ratio of the difference value between the current working current value and the rated current value of the water pump and the rated current value does not exceed a first preset proportion, taking the product of the rated voltage value and the first value as the driving voltage of the water pump; when the ratio of the difference value to the rated current value is between a first preset proportion and a second preset proportion, taking the product of the rated voltage value and the second numerical value as the driving voltage of the water pump; when the ratio of the difference value to the rated current value is between the second preset proportion and the third preset proportion, taking the product of the rated voltage value and the third numerical value as the driving voltage of the water pump; when the ratio of the difference value to the rated current value exceeds a third preset ratio and the ambient temperature is smaller than the preset temperature, taking the product of the rated voltage value and a fourth value as the driving voltage of the water pump; when the ratio of the difference value to the rated current value exceeds a third preset ratio and the ambient temperature is greater than a preset temperature, taking the rated voltage value as the driving voltage of the water pump; the second preset proportion is larger than the first preset proportion and smaller than the third preset proportion, the second numerical value is larger than the first numerical value and smaller than the third numerical value, and the third numerical value is larger than the second numerical value and smaller than the fourth numerical value.
Specifically, the larger the difference value between the current working current value and the rated current value of the water pump is, the more serious the mechanical attenuation is, so that the difference value between the current working current value and the rated current value of the water pump is divided into a plurality of different sections, and each section adopts different attenuation compensation control strategies so as to furthest improve the pumping effect of the water pump and the drainage effect of the air conditioner and further improve the user experience.
