Description

Air conditioning system and control method thereof
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to an air conditioning system and a control method thereof.
Background
In recent years, with the continuous improvement of the living standard of people and the continuous development of the real estate industry, more and more air-conditioning products have large-capacity units, and the corresponding compressor discharge capacity is also larger and larger. Meanwhile, as urban population increases, outdoor environment becomes more and more complex and diversified, and higher requirements are put forward on stable and reliable operation of the air conditioner outdoor unit.
The compressor is a core component of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, causes problems of the compressor, can cause damage to the compressor due to overhigh exhaust temperature, and can cause liquid-carrying operation of the compressor when liquid refrigerant enters the compressor, thereby causing damage to the compressor. For the problem of liquid-carrying operation of the compressor caused by the liquid refrigerant entering the compressor, a gas-liquid separator with corresponding specification is generally designed to separate the liquid refrigerant.
However, during the actual operation of the air conditioning system, the measures taken to solve the problem of the excessive discharge temperature of the compressor may also cause the liquid level of the gas-liquid separator to rise. When the liquid level of the gas-liquid separator is too high, the liquid refrigerant in the gas-liquid separator flows into the compressor, and the compressor is damaged.
Disclosure of Invention
The embodiment of the application provides an air conditioning system and a control method thereof, which are used for solving the problem that the liquid level of a gas-liquid separator is too high and then the compressor is damaged due to measures taken when the exhaust temperature of the compressor is reduced.
In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioning system, including:
an indoor heat exchanger;
an outdoor heat exchanger;
a compressor;
the outlet of the gas-liquid separator is connected with the inlet of the compressor;
the economizer is provided with a first refrigerant channel and a second refrigerant channel, one end of the first refrigerant channel is connected with the indoor heat exchanger, and the other end of the first refrigerant channel is connected with the outdoor heat exchanger; one end of the second refrigerant channel is communicated with a pipeline of the first refrigerant channel connecting the outdoor heat exchanger through an expansion valve, and the other end of the second refrigerant channel is connected with an inlet of the gas-liquid separator;
a controller configured to:
under the condition that the exhaust temperature of the current detection period is greater than the target exhaust temperature, determining a target temperature condition met by the air conditioning system from at least one temperature condition;
adjusting the opening degree of the expansion valve according to an adjustment strategy corresponding to the target temperature condition;
after the opening degree of the expansion valve is adjusted, if the liquid level height of the gas-liquid separator is larger than the preset liquid level height corresponding to the target temperature condition, the opening degree of the expansion valve is reduced until the liquid level height of the gas-liquid separator is smaller than or equal to the preset liquid level height.
The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application at least has the following beneficial effects: in the operation process of the air conditioning system, if the compressor continuously operates at high frequency, the exhaust temperature is too high, and the compressor can be damaged. Therefore, the air conditioning system provided by the embodiment of the application is provided with the economizer and the expansion valve, the economizer is provided with two refrigerant channels, and one end of one refrigerant channel is connected with the inlet of the gas-liquid separator through the expansion valve. Therefore, when the exhaust temperature of the compressor is higher than the target exhaust temperature, the opening degree of the expansion valve can be adjusted according to the target temperature condition met by the air conditioning system so as to increase the flow rate of the refrigerant entering the compressor and reduce the exhaust temperature of the compressor. However, if the opening degree of the expansion valve is too large, the liquid refrigerant in the gas-liquid separator is more and more, and at the moment, if the compressor cannot discharge the refrigerant in the gas-liquid separator in time, the compressor can suck the liquid refrigerant to cause the problem of liquid-carrying operation of the compressor, so that the compressor is damaged. To this, this application embodiment still monitors through the liquid level to vapour and liquid separator, and when vapour and liquid separator's liquid level was higher than and predetermines the liquid level height, finely tune the aperture in order to reduce the aperture of expansion valve to make vapour and liquid separator's liquid level height be less than or equal to and predetermine the liquid level height, prevent that the liquid refrigerant from getting into the compressor and causing the damage to the compressor.
In some embodiments, the at least one temperature condition comprises one or more of a first temperature condition, a second temperature condition, a third temperature condition, or a fourth temperature condition; wherein the first temperature condition includes: the exhaust temperature of the current detection period is greater than or equal to a first preset temperature, and the difference value between the exhaust temperature of the current detection period and the exhaust temperature of the last detection period is greater than or equal to a first preset value and smaller than a second preset value; the second temperature condition includes: the exhaust temperature of the current detection period is greater than or equal to a first preset temperature, and the difference value between the exhaust temperature of the current detection period and the exhaust temperature of the last detection period is greater than a second preset value; the third temperature condition includes: the exhaust temperature of the current detection period is greater than or equal to a second preset temperature, and the difference between the exhaust temperature of the current detection period and the exhaust temperature of the last detection period is greater than or equal to a third preset value; the fourth temperature condition includes: the exhaust temperature of the current detection period is greater than or equal to a third preset temperature, the opening degree of the expansion valve is greater than or equal to a preset opening degree, and the difference between the exhaust temperature of the current detection period and the exhaust temperature of the last detection period is greater than or equal to a fourth preset value; the first preset temperature, the second preset temperature and the third preset temperature are all larger than the target exhaust temperature, the first preset temperature is smaller than the second preset temperature, and the second preset temperature is smaller than the third preset temperature.
It can be understood that the exhaust temperatures of the compressors are different, and the exhaust temperatures of the compressors need to be cooled with different forces, so that the exhaust temperatures of the compressors are divided into at least one temperature condition, and corresponding measures are taken according to the target temperature condition met by the actually detected exhaust temperatures of the compressors. Therefore, the efficiency of reducing the exhaust temperature of the compressor is improved, and the single temperature reduction measure is prevented from being inconsistent with the reasonable adjustment of the actual exhaust temperature of the compressor.
In some embodiments, the controller of the air conditioning system is configured to adjust the opening degree of the expansion valve according to a target temperature condition satisfied by the air conditioning system, and specifically performs the following steps: and if the target temperature condition is the first temperature condition, controlling the expansion valve to increase from the first opening degree to the second opening degree, wherein the ratio of the difference between the second opening degree and the first opening degree to the first opening degree is equal to a first preset ratio. In this way, when the discharge temperature of the compressor meets the first temperature condition, the opening degree of the expansion valve is correspondingly increased to increase the flow rate of the refrigerant, and the discharge temperature of the compressor is reduced.
In some embodiments, the controller of the air conditioning system is configured to adjust the opening degree of the expansion valve according to a target temperature condition satisfied by the air conditioning system, and specifically performs the following steps: and if the target temperature condition is a second temperature condition, controlling the expansion valve to increase from the first opening degree to a third opening degree, wherein the ratio of the difference between the third opening degree and the first opening degree to the first opening degree is equal to a second preset ratio, and the second preset ratio is larger than the first preset ratio.
It can be understood that the difference between the discharge temperature of the current detection period of the compressor and the discharge temperature of the previous detection period in the second temperature condition is greater than the difference between the discharge temperature of the current detection period of the compressor and the discharge temperature of the previous detection period in the first temperature condition, so that the increase of the opening degree of the expansion valve when the second temperature condition is satisfied is greater than the increase of the opening degree of the expansion valve when the first temperature condition is satisfied, thereby achieving the purpose of faster temperature reduction
In some embodiments, the controller of the air conditioning system is configured to adjust the opening degree of the expansion valve according to a target temperature condition satisfied by the air conditioning system, and specifically performs the following steps: and if the target temperature condition is the third temperature condition, adjusting the opening degree of the expansion valve to be a preset opening degree.
In some embodiments, the preset opening degree is determined by an actual operating frequency value of the compressor, an ambient temperature, a discharge temperature of a current detection period, and an operating mode of the air conditioning system.
It will be appreciated that the higher the actual operating frequency of the compressor, the higher the discharge temperature of the compressor, and the higher the ambient temperature. The opening degree of the expansion valve should be different according to the exhaust temperature of the current detection cycle. Meanwhile, the exhaust temperatures of the compressors are different in different operation modes of the air conditioning system, so that the preset opening is determined according to the actual operation frequency value of the compressor, the ambient temperature, the exhaust temperature of the current detection period and the operation mode of the air conditioning system, so that the preset opening is more accurate, and the exhaust temperature is more efficiently reduced to a reasonable range.
In some embodiments, the controller of the air conditioning system is configured to adjust the opening degree of the expansion valve according to a target temperature condition satisfied by the air conditioning system, and specifically performs the following steps: if the target temperature condition is the fourth temperature condition, the opening degree of the expansion valve is adjusted to the maximum opening degree. In this way, when the exhaust temperature of the compressor reaches a very high value, the opening degree of the expansion valve is adjusted to the maximum opening degree, and the flow rate of the refrigerant can be adjusted to the maximum amount, so that the temperature of the compressor is reduced at the highest speed, and the possibility of damage to the compressor is reduced.
In some embodiments, the controller of the air conditioning system is configured to decrease the opening degree of the expansion valve until the liquid level height of the gas-liquid separator is less than or equal to a preset liquid level height, and specifically perform the following steps: and gradually reducing the opening degree of the expansion valve by a preset adjustment value until the liquid level height of the gas-liquid separator is less than or equal to the preset liquid level height.
It will be appreciated that when the discharge temperature of the compressor is within a reasonable range, the liquid level of the gas-liquid separator is also at a reasonable height. When the exhaust temperature of the compressor is higher than the reasonable range, the flow rate of the refrigerant is increased due to the increase of the opening degree of the expansion valve, and the liquid level in the gas-liquid separator is further increased. When the liquid level in the gas-liquid separator is higher than the preset liquid level, the compressor may be operated with liquid, and the compressor may be damaged. Therefore, the opening degree of the expansion valve needs to be increased and the liquid level of the gas-liquid separator needs to be monitored, and the liquid level of the gas-liquid separator needs to be adjusted in time when the liquid level is higher than the preset liquid level. The opening degree of the expansion valve is gradually reduced by a preset adjustment value to reduce the flow of the refrigerant until the liquid level height of the gas-liquid separator is less than or equal to the preset liquid level height. If the liquid level height of the gas-liquid separator is less than or equal to the preset liquid level height, the situation that the current refrigerant flow cannot cause liquid-carrying operation is demonstrated temporarily, and therefore the opening degree of the current expansion valve can be maintained until the exhaust temperature is reduced to a reasonable range.
In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a control method of an air conditioning system, including:
under the condition that the exhaust temperature of the current detection period is greater than the target exhaust temperature, determining a target temperature condition met by the air conditioning system from at least one temperature condition;
adjusting the opening degree of the expansion valve according to an adjustment strategy corresponding to the target temperature condition;
after the opening degree of the expansion valve is adjusted, if the liquid level height of the gas-liquid separator is larger than the preset liquid level height corresponding to the target temperature condition, the opening degree of the expansion valve is reduced until the liquid level height of the gas-liquid separator is smaller than or equal to the preset liquid level height.
In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a controller, including: one or more processors; one or more memories; wherein the one or more memories are used to store computer program code comprising computer instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the controller to perform the control method provided by the second aspect.
In a fourth aspect, embodiments of the present application provide a computer-readable storage medium including computer instructions that, when controlled on a computer, cause the computer to perform the method provided in the second aspect and possible implementation manners.
In a fifth aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a computer program product, which is directly loadable into a memory and contains software code, and which, when loaded and executed by a computer, is able to carry out the method as provided in the second aspect and possible implementations.
It should be noted that the computer instructions may be stored in whole or in part on a computer-readable storage medium. The computer readable storage medium may be packaged with or separately from a processor of the controller, which is not limited in this application.

Rather, use of the word "exemplary" or "such as" is intended to present relevant concepts in a concrete fashion.
As described in the background art, in the operation process of an air conditioner, when the exhaust temperature of a compressor is too high, the opening degree of an expansion valve is increased to increase the flow rate of a refrigerant, so as to achieve the effect of reducing the exhaust temperature of the compressor, but the increase of the opening degree of the expansion valve also causes the height of liquid in a gas-liquid separator to exceed a reasonable range, thereby causing the problem that the compressor is damaged by the liquid-carrying operation of the compressor.
In order to solve the above technical problem, embodiments of the present invention provide an air conditioning system and a control method thereof, where the control method periodically detects the discharge temperature of a compressor, and when the discharge temperature of the compressor is too high, controls the opening degree of an expansion valve to increase. The method is characterized in that the exhaust temperature of the compressor is divided into at least one temperature condition, and the opening degree of the expansion valve is increased by corresponding opening degree according to the temperature condition met by the exhaust temperature detected in the current detection period, so that the exhaust temperature of the compressor is rapidly reduced. Meanwhile, the refrigerant flow is increased due to the increase of the opening degree of the expansion valve, so that the opening degree of the expansion valve can be finely adjusted and reduced when the liquid level of the gas-liquid separator exceeds the liquid level height corresponding to the temperature condition through monitoring the liquid level of the gas-liquid separator, and the phenomenon that the compressor is in liquid-carrying operation due to the fact that too much refrigerant in the gas-liquid separator enters the compressor is prevented, and the compressor is in fault.
The air conditioning system provided by the embodiment of the application can be a cabinet air conditioner, an on-hook air conditioner, a water air conditioner, a window air conditioner, a central air conditioner and a multi-connected air conditioner. The air conditioning system provided by the embodiment of the present application may have one compressor or a plurality of compressors, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.
To further describe the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, fig. 1 is a structural diagram of an air conditioning system provided in the embodiment of the present application.
Referring to fig. 1, the air conditioning system 11 includes: the indoor unit 100, the outdoor unit 200, the connection pipe 300, and the remote controller 400 are, for example, an indoor unit (shown in fig. 1) which is usually attached to an indoor wall surface WL or the like. For another example, an indoor unit (not shown in fig. 1) is also an indoor unit type of the indoor unit.
In some embodiments, the connection pipe 300 is disposed between the indoor unit 100 and the outdoor unit 200, and is used to connect the indoor unit 100 and the outdoor unit 200 to form a refrigerant circuit for circulating a refrigerant.
In some embodiments, the remote control 400 is an accessory to the air conditioning system 11, and has functionality to communicate with the controller, for example, using infrared or other communication means. The remote controller 400 is used to realize interaction between a user and the air conditioning system, and the user can perform operations such as on/off of the air conditioning system, temperature setting, wind direction setting, and air volume setting through a display device and buttons on the remote controller.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the indoor unit 100 includes an indoor heat exchanger 101.
And an indoor heat exchanger 101 disposed in the indoor unit 100, for exchanging heat with indoor air to cool or heat the indoor air.
In some embodiments, continuing with fig. 2, the outdoor unit 200 includes: a first stop valve 2011, a second stop valve 2012, a four-way reversing valve 202, a gas-liquid separator 203, a compressor 204, an outdoor heat exchanger 205, an economizer 206, a first expansion valve 2071, a second expansion valve 2072, a temperature sensor 208 and a liquid level sensor 209.
In some embodiments, the outdoor unit 200 is generally disposed outdoors to assist heat exchange in indoor environment. The following is a detailed description of the arrangement and functions of the components of the outdoor unit 200.
In some embodiments, the first stop valve 2011 and the second stop valve 2012 are disposed on a refrigerant passage in the outdoor unit 200, and are respectively connected to two ends of the indoor heat exchanger 101 for preventing the refrigerant from flowing backwards, and after the air conditioning system is installed, the first stop valve 2011 and the second stop valve 2012 are kept in a normally closed state.
In some embodiments, the four-way reversing valve 202 has four ports respectively connected to the discharge port of the compressor 204, the indoor heat exchanger 101, the suction port of the compressor 204, and the outdoor heat exchanger 205, and is used for switching between the cooling mode and the heating mode by changing the flow direction of the refrigerant in the system pipeline.
In some embodiments, the outlet of the gas-liquid separator 203 is connected to the suction port of the compressor 204 for receiving the refrigerant in the liquid return portion of the refrigerant channel, thereby preventing liquid impact on the compressor 204.
In some embodiments, the discharge port of the compressor 204 is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger 205 through the four-way reversing valve 202 for powering the refrigerant cycle. Optionally, the compressor 204 may be one or more.
In some embodiments, the outdoor heat exchanger 205 is disposed in the outdoor unit 200, and is configured to exchange heat between the refrigerant flowing through the heat transfer pipes of the outdoor heat exchanger 205 and the outdoor air.
In some embodiments, the first expansion valve 2071 is disposed between the outdoor heat exchanger 205 and the economizer 206, and has an effect of expanding the refrigerant flowing through the first expansion valve 2071 to achieve decompression, so as to adjust the flow rate of the refrigerant in the refrigerant passage. Alternatively, the first expansion valve 2071 may be an electronic expansion valve. When the opening degree of the first expansion valve 2071 is decreased, the flow path resistance of the refrigerant passing through the first expansion valve 2071 is increased. When the opening degree of the first expansion valve 2071 is increased, the flow path resistance of the refrigerant passing through the first expansion valve 2071 is decreased. As described above, even if the state of other components in the circuit is not changed, the flow rate of the refrigerant flowing through the indoor heat exchanger 101 or the outdoor heat exchanger 205 is changed when the opening degree of the first expansion valve 2071 is changed.
In some embodiments, the economizer 206 has a first refrigerant channel and a second refrigerant channel, and the first refrigerant channel is connected to the indoor heat exchanger 101 at one end and the outdoor heat exchanger 205 at the other end. One end of the second refrigerant channel is communicated with the pipeline of the first refrigerant channel connection outdoor heat exchanger 205 through the second expansion valve 2072, and the other end is connected with the inlet of the gas-liquid separator 203.
In some embodiments, the second expansion valve 2072 is connected to the economizer 206 at one end and the outdoor heat exchanger 205 at the other end by the first expansion valve 2071, and is used for controlling the flow rate of the refrigerant flowing into the gas-liquid separator 203.

s101, under the condition that the exhaust temperature of the current detection period is larger than the target exhaust temperature, determining a target temperature condition met by the air conditioning system from at least one temperature condition.
Wherein the target discharge temperature is an ideal discharge temperature of the compressor at the current operating condition of the air conditioning system.
Optionally, the at least one temperature condition comprises one or more of a first temperature condition, a second temperature condition, a third temperature condition, or a fourth temperature condition.
The first temperature condition includes: the exhaust temperature of the current detection period is greater than or equal to a first preset temperature, and the difference between the exhaust temperature of the current detection period and the exhaust temperature of the last detection period is greater than or equal to the first preset value and smaller than a second preset value.
Illustratively, the first temperature condition may be expressed in the form of:
td (n) is more than or equal to 95 ℃, and A is less than or equal to Td (n) -Td (n-1) < B.
Wherein Td (n) is the exhaust temperature of the current detection period; td (n-1) is the exhaust temperature of the last detection period; A. b is a specific number and B > A.
The second temperature condition includes: the exhaust temperature of the current detection period is greater than or equal to a first preset temperature, and the difference between the exhaust temperature of the current detection period and the exhaust temperature of the last detection period is greater than a second preset value.

td (n) ≥ 110 deg.C, and Td (n) -Td (n-1) ≥ D. Wherein D is a specific number, and D > C.
As a specific implementation manner, the preset opening K is determined by an actual operating frequency value of the compressor, an ambient temperature, an exhaust temperature of a current detection period, and an operating mode of the air conditioning system.
Exemplarily, K = F × K1 × K2 × K3.
Wherein F is the frequency value of the actual operation of the compressor.
K1 is a parameter related to the operation state of the outdoor unit and the ambient temperature, and the value range of K1 is shown in table 1:

Other than the above notes 1.2
Wherein Ta in table 1 represents ambient temperature.

It should be understood that the difference between the exhaust temperature of the current detection period and the exhaust temperature of the last detection period may be used to reflect the trend of the exhaust temperature. When the difference value between the exhaust temperature of the current detection period and the exhaust temperature of the last detection period is larger than the preset value, the trend of the change of the exhaust temperature is indicated to be an increasing trend. Therefore, the air conditioning system needs to take timely adjustment measures to avoid the exhaust temperature from being too high.
And S102, adjusting the opening degree of the second expansion valve according to the adjustment strategy corresponding to the target temperature condition.
As a possible implementation, if the target temperature condition is the first temperature condition, the second expansion valve is controlled to increase from the first opening degree to the second opening degree, and a ratio of a difference between the second opening degree and the first opening degree to the first opening degree is equal to a first preset ratio. The first opening degree of the second expansion valve is the opening degree of the expansion valve in the previous detection period, and the second opening degree is the opening degree of the expansion valve after corresponding adjustment. For example, the first predetermined ratio may be 25%.
As another possible implementation manner, if the target temperature condition is the second temperature condition, the second expansion valve is controlled to increase from the first opening degree to the third opening degree, a ratio of a difference between the third opening degree and the first opening degree to the first opening degree is equal to a second preset ratio, and the second preset ratio is greater than the first preset ratio. Illustratively, the second predetermined ratio may be 50%.
As another possible implementation manner, if the target temperature condition is the third temperature condition, the opening degree of the second expansion valve is adjusted to a preset opening degree.
As another possible implementation, if the target temperature condition is the fourth temperature condition, the opening degree of the second expansion valve is adjusted to the maximum opening degree.
S103, after the opening degree of the second expansion valve is adjusted, if the liquid level height of the gas-liquid separator is larger than the preset liquid level height corresponding to the target temperature condition, the opening degree of the second expansion valve is reduced until the liquid level height of the gas-liquid separator is smaller than or equal to the preset liquid level height.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 8, step S103 may be implemented as the following steps:
and S1031, detecting the liquid level of the gas-liquid separator, and judging whether the liquid level height of the gas-liquid separator is greater than a preset liquid level height corresponding to the target temperature condition.
If yes, executing the following step S1032;
if not, the current opening degree of the expansion valve is maintained until the exhaust temperature is reduced to a reasonable range, for example, the current opening degree of the expansion valve is maintained until the exhaust temperature is less than 95 ℃.
Illustratively, the preset liquid level height corresponding to the first temperature condition is a, the preset liquid level height corresponding to the second temperature condition is b, the preset liquid level height corresponding to the third temperature condition is c, and the preset liquid level height corresponding to the fourth temperature condition is d, wherein a is greater than 0 and less than b and c is less than d.
And S1032, reducing the opening degree of the second expansion valve by a preset adjusting value.
For example, the preset adjustment value may be 1%.
And S1033, judging whether the liquid level height of the current gas-liquid separator is less than or equal to a preset liquid level height.
If not, S1032 is continuously executed, and the opening degree of the second expansion valve is reduced by the preset adjusting value.
If yes, the following step S1034 is executed.
S1034, the adjustment of the opening degree of the second expansion valve is finished.
The embodiment shown in fig. 7 brings at least the following advantages: in the operation process of the air conditioning system, if the compressor continuously operates at high frequency, the exhaust temperature is too high, and the compressor can be damaged. Therefore, the opening degree of the second expansion valve can be increased according to the exhaust temperature of the compressor so as to increase the flow rate of the refrigerant entering the compressor, thereby reducing the exhaust temperature of the compressor. However, if the opening degree of the second expansion valve is too large, the liquid refrigerant in the gas-liquid separator increases and the liquid refrigerant flows into the compressor more. This application embodiment is through monitoring vapour and liquid separator's liquid level, when vapour and liquid separator's liquid level is higher than the preset liquid level height that the exhaust temperature of compressor corresponds, finely tune the aperture in order to reduce the aperture of second expansion valve to make vapour and liquid separator's liquid level height be less than or equal to preset liquid level height, and then avoid liquid refrigerant to get into the compressor and cause the damage to the compressor.
In some embodiments, if the outdoor unit includes a plurality of compressors, an embodiment of the present application further provides an air conditioning system control method, including: when the maximum value of the exhaust temperature of the current detection period is larger than the target exhaust temperature, determining a target temperature condition met by the air conditioning system from at least one temperature condition; adjusting the opening degree of the expansion valve according to an adjustment strategy corresponding to the target temperature condition; after the opening degree of the expansion valve is adjusted, if the liquid level height of the gas-liquid separator is larger than the preset liquid level height corresponding to the target temperature condition, the opening degree of the expansion valve is reduced until the liquid level height of the gas-liquid separator is smaller than or equal to the preset liquid level height.

Accordingly, the at least one temperature condition may include: one or more of a fifth temperature condition, a sixth temperature condition, a seventh temperature condition, and an eighth temperature condition.
The fifth temperature condition comprises that the maximum value of the exhaust temperature of the current detection period is greater than or equal to a first preset temperature, and the difference value between the maximum value of the exhaust temperature of the current detection period and the maximum value of the exhaust temperature of the last detection period is greater than or equal to a first preset value and smaller than a second preset value.
The sixth temperature condition includes that the maximum value of the exhaust temperature of the current detection period is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, and the difference between the maximum value of the exhaust temperature of the current detection period and the maximum value of the exhaust temperature of the last detection period is greater than the second preset value.
