When the air conditioner executes a defrosting control strategy, the key point is to determine the proper defrosting time. In most of the conventional defrosting control strategies for the air conditioner, the accumulated frosting amount in the operation process of the air conditioner is predicted, and when the frosting amount reaches a set threshold value, the air conditioner is considered to need to execute the defrosting strategy.
Most of frosting amount prediction models in the prior art are mathematical models between the frosting amount and the frosting amount based on the air dry bulb temperature Ta and the air relative humidity RH, but the method has the limitation that the prediction models are established between the ambient atmospheric pressure of 100KPa and 110KPa, the fluctuation range of the ambient atmospheric pressure is 70KPa and 120KPa in reality, and the moisture content d in the air is a value which changes along with the change of the ambient atmospheric pressure P under the condition of the same air dry bulb temperature Ta and the same air relative humidity RH. In fact, the frost is essentially derived from the moisture in the air, that is, if the ambient atmospheric pressure P changes under the same conditions of the air dry bulb temperature Ta and the air relative humidity RH, the amount of water obtained by the air conditioner from the unit volume of air is different, and thus the frost is different. Therefore, in the process of practical application, the mathematical model between the air dry bulb temperature Ta and the air relative humidity RH and the frosting amount is established, and the influence of the air moisture content d on the frosting amount is neglected, so that the phenomena of 'defrosting without frost' and 'defrosting by mistake' with frost and not removing frost are generated occasionally.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for predicting defrosting time of an air conditioner, as shown in fig. 1, the method for predicting defrosting time of an air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present invention may at least include the following steps S101 to S103.
S101, collecting outdoor environment data of an air conditioner during operation; the outdoor environment data includes air dry bulb temperature Ta, air relative humidity RH, and air pressure P.
S102, calculating the real-time frosting rate of the air conditioner according to the outdoor environment data;
and S103, predicting defrosting time of the air conditioner based on the real-time frosting rate.
The embodiment provides a method for predicting defrosting time of an air conditioner, which is mainly applied to predicting the frosting amount of an air source heat pump air conditioner in the operation process, wherein the ambient atmospheric pressure and the self-adaptive correction coefficient are added into a conventional frosting prediction model established conventionally based on the air dry bulb temperature Ta and the air relative humidity RH, so that the bottleneck problems of poor error and applicability of the frosting amount prediction and the technical problem of low universality of the frosting prediction model among different machine types are solved respectively. The steps of the present embodiment will be described in detail below.
Under the operation condition that the air conditioner is in the heating mode, step S101 needs to be executed first to collect outdoor environment data of the air conditioner during operation. The outdoor environmental data of the present embodiment includes the air dry bulb temperature Ta, the air relative humidity RH, and the air pressure P. In this embodiment, the data acquisition of the air dry bulb temperature Ta, the air relative humidity RH and the air pressure P in the step S101 is controlled by the time control module. The time control module is a functional module of the air conditioner, and the control of the data acquisition module through the time control module is a control strategy which is set for acquiring effective data and avoiding the waste of computing resources caused by excessive acquired data and the low computing precision caused by insufficient acquired data. That is to say, the scheme of this embodiment can be real-time collection or collection at certain time intervals when collecting the air dry bulb temperature Ta, the air relative humidity RH and the air pressure P.
1. Air dry bulb temperature Ta
In this embodiment, the temperature of the air dry bulb can be collected by the temperature sensor.
The control strategy of the time control module for the air dry bulb temperature Ta data collected by the temperature sensor is as follows: and starting timing after the air conditioner enters a heating mode, and acquiring and recording air dry bulb temperature Ta data acquired by the temperature sensor by taking a time interval delta t1 as a control strategy. The value range of delta t1 can be 0-10 min, and the optimal value is 5min.
2. Relative humidity of air
In this embodiment, the relative humidity RH of the air is collected by a humidity sensor.
The control strategy of the time control module for the air humidity RH data collected by the temperature sensor is that the time is started after the air conditioner enters a heating mode, and the air humidity RH data collected by the humidity sensor is collected and recorded by taking a time interval delta t2 as the control strategy; the optional value range of delta t2 is 0-10 min, preferably 5min.
3. Air pressure P
The air pressure P may be collected in the following manner in this embodiment.
In consideration of the difference in the configuration of the air conditioners (the air conditioners in high configuration have more data sensors, and the air conditioners in low configuration lack sensors), in order to make the control method of the present patent applicable to more air conditioners, 3 methods are set in the acquisition method of the air pressure P:
1. pressure sensor
The real-time air pressure of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner in the outdoor environment in the operation process is detected through the pressure sensor. Specifically, the pressure sensor is arranged on the air inlet side of the heat exchanger of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, and the real-time air pressure of the outdoor environment of the air conditioner in the operation process is detected through the pressure sensor.
WIFI Module
And inquiring the air pressure of the local outdoor environment of the air conditioner through a WiFi module arranged in the air conditioner in a networking manner.
The time control module is used for controlling the air pressure P data collected by the pressure sensor and the WIFI module, timing is started after the air conditioner enters a heating mode, and the air pressure P data collected by the pressure sensor and the WIFI module are collected and recorded by taking a time interval delta t3 as a control strategy; the selectable value range of delta t3 is 0-24 h, and the preferred value is 1h.
The WIFI module can be to some no pressure sensor but have the air conditioner models of WIFI networking function, specifically can read the real-time air pressure of outdoor environment at the air conditioner operation in-process through the WIFI module networking inquiry local real-time meteorological information at the air conditioner, transmits the main control unit of air conditioner with the air pressure value that corresponds.
3. Manual setting
And setting air pressure based on historical meteorological data local to the air conditioner according to the historical meteorological data. For some air conditioner models without pressure sensors and WIFI networking functions, the average air pressure value in the heating season can be specifically set according to the historical meteorological data of the location of the user in the control program of the air conditioner. For example, the daily average air pressure value of the heating period in winter of the past year may be used as the air pressure value of the current air conditioner.
Because the pressure value of the environment is a parameter of relative temperature, in this embodiment, the acquisition time of the air pressure P data acquired by the pressure sensor and the WIFI module is 1h and is acquired once, and for the manually set air pressure P data, the manually set numerical value is always used as the calculation numerical value.
After the outdoor environment data is acquired, the step S102 may be executed to calculate the real-time frosting rate of the air conditioner according to the outdoor environment data.
Alternatively, the real-time frosting rate of the air conditioner may be calculated using the following frosting rate calculation equation:
ν=(αTa+βRH+γP+σ)·λ·θ
wherein v represents the frosting rate; alpha, beta, gamma and sigma are respectively correction coefficients of Ta, RH, P and constant terms; lambda represents the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner; θ represents a frosting rate conversion coefficient; ta represents the air dry bulb temperature; RH denotes the relative humidity of air; p represents air pressure.
In the air conditioner of this embodiment, an adaptive frosting prediction model may be set in the main controller, and the adaptive frosting prediction model may calculate a real-time frosting rate of the air conditioner under the current operation condition by using the acquired air dry bulb temperature Ta, air relative humidity RH, and air pressure P.
In the above-mentioned formula,
v-frosting rate in g/min;
alpha, beta, gamma and sigma are correction coefficients of Ta, RH, P and constant terms in an equation respectively, and have no physical meaning;
lambda, the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, is 0.1 to 0.5, and the lambda value can be determined according to the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, wherein the preferred value in the embodiment is 0.16;
θ — frost rate conversion factor, θ =1 when frost rate is given in g/s, θ =60 when frost rate is given in g/min, and θ =3600 when frost rate is given in g/h. In the present embodiment, θ =60 is preferable;
ta-the temperature of the air dry bulb, DEG C, the value of Ta in this example is-20 ℃ to 6 ℃;
RH-relative humidity of air,%, the value in this example is 30% -100%;
p-air pressure, KPa, which in this example takes the value of 50KPa to 120KPa;
the self-adaptive frosting prediction model provided by the embodiment gives consideration to the influence of the air dry bulb temperature Ta, the air relative humidity RH and the air pressure P on the frosting rate, is closer to the real frosting rate of the air conditioner in the actual use process, and can effectively avoid the defects that the conventional frosting prediction model predicts too low frosting amount under the working condition of low air pressure and predicts too high frosting amount under the working condition of high air pressure. Comparing the self-adaptive frosting prediction model provided by the patent with a conventional frosting prediction model, and drawing a calculation result into a schematic diagram shown in fig. 3; as can be seen from the data diagram of fig. 3, since the conventional frost prediction model considers the air dry bulb temperature Ta and the air relative humidity RH, the influence of the ambient air pressure change on the actual frost formation rate cannot be reflected in the actual application process.
As described above, the air dry bulb temperature Ta, the air relative humidity RH, and the air pressure P have respective acquisition intervals, and the respective acquisition intervals may be the same or different.
For example, assuming that the calculation time interval of the frosting rate v is calculated once for 5min, that is, the calculation time interval is consistent with the data acquisition time interval of the air dry bulb temperature Ta and the air humidity RH, it can also be understood that the system calculates the real-time frosting rate v once every time the air conditioner acquires the data of the air dry bulb temperature Ta and the air humidity RH.
When the system acquires data once, the system keeps the last acquired air pressure value P and uses the pressure value and the data of the air dry bulb temperature Ta and the air humidity RH acquired every 5min to calculate the real-time frosting rate v until the next acquired air pressure value P is obtained and the pressure value is updated in the next 1 h; for the manually set air pressure P data, the pressure value used by the system for calculating the frosting rate v is always the same as the set value, but the data of the air dry bulb temperature Ta and the air humidity RH are still collected for 5min once, and the real-time frosting rate v is calculated.
Further, after the real-time frosting rate of the air conditioner is calculated, step S103 may be executed to predict the defrosting time of the air conditioner based on the real-time frosting rate. In this embodiment, as can be seen from fig. 2, the defrosting time of the air conditioner can be predicted through the following steps A1 to A3.
A1, determining at least one defrosting area in an adaptive defrosting map to which the operating condition of the air conditioner belongs according to the real-time defrosting rate, and determining the operating time of each defrosting area.
As shown in fig. 3, the adaptive frosting map of the present embodiment is a three-dimensional map composed of air dry bulb temperature, air relative humidity and air pressure, wherein the x-axis is the air dry bulb temperature, the y-axis is the air relative humidity, and the z-axis is the air pressure. The divide the frost district to include: a heavy frost area, a general frost I area, a general frost II area, a light frost I area and a light frost II area; different frosting zones match different frosting rate ranges.

1) A heavy frost area: nu is more than or equal to 8g/min, and as shown in figure 5, can be 8g/min in the fuzzy calculation without actually measured data;
2) General frosting zone i: v is more than or equal to 5.5g/min and less than 8g/min, as shown in figure 6, the v can be 6.75g/min in the fuzzy calculation without actual measurement data;

2. For 1-piece (rated refrigerating capacity 2600W) air conditioner, the heavy frost area, the general frost I area, the general frost II area, the light frost I area and the light frost II area are divided as follows:
1) A heavy frost area: v is more than or equal to 5.5g/min, and can be 5.5g/min in calculation;

And A2, calculating the accumulated frosting amount of the air conditioner based on the running time of the air conditioner in each frost distribution area and the outdoor environment data.
Considering that the air dry bulb temperature Ta, the air relative humidity RH and the air pressure P are not fixed and unchangeable in the operation process of the air conditioner, the above formula is only suitable for the condition that the air dry bulb temperature Ta, the air relative humidity RH and the air pressure P do not change greatly, and for the condition that some working conditions change obviously, the control strategy for entering defrosting needs to be calculated according to the following formula.
G’=∫νdt=∫(αTa+βRH+γP+σ)·λ·θdt

When G-G' is more than 0, the air conditioner is considered not to reach the maximum accumulated frost amount and can still continue to operate for a set time;
when G-G' is less than or equal to 0, the air conditioner is considered to have reached the maximum accumulated frost formation amount, and a defrosting strategy is required to be executed.
That is, the accumulated frost amount of the air conditioner from the operation heating mode to the real time can be calculated by substituting the air dry bulb temperature Ta, the air relative humidity RH and the air pressure P parameters into the above formula (1), but in practical application, because the outdoor side environmental parameters are changed constantly, the air conditioner can be switched between different frost areas in the actual operation process; therefore, the calculation of the frost formation amount in the frost formation amount control strategy needs to consider the actual accumulated frost formation after the air conditioner is switched between different frost regions in the operation process and is influenced by the different frost regions.
