Description

空调器及其除霜控制方法Air conditioner and defrost control method thereof 技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及空调器技术领域,具体提供一种空调器及其除霜控制方法。The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and specifically provides an air conditioner and a defrosting control method thereof.
背景技术Background technique
通常情况下,当室外环境温度较高时,空调器会被控制在制冷模式下运行,以便向室内输送冷风,降低室内温度。现有的空调器在制冷模式下会出现空气中的水分凝结在蒸发器上而结霜的情况,由于结霜会进一步阻碍空气流通进而结冰,因此蒸发器结霜时容易影响制冷效果。现有方案是根据检测到的蒸发器盘管上的温度来降低压缩机频率使蒸发器温度不至于过低(冻结保护),即在蒸发器温度低于零度时,关闭压缩机,使得压缩机停止运行,直到蒸发器表面的冰霜化去后,再重新启动制冷。但是这种除霜启动控制方法并不合理,经常会出现有霜不除或者无霜除霜的情况,比如在实际应用中蒸发器往往已经结冰了,但是传感器检测到的温度是7℃,没有达到冻结保护条件,从而影响空调器的制冷效果,降低了用户的使用体验。Normally, when the outdoor ambient temperature is high, the air conditioner will be controlled to operate in cooling mode to deliver cold air indoors and reduce the indoor temperature. When the existing air conditioner is in the cooling mode, moisture in the air condenses on the evaporator and frost forms. Since the frost will further hinder the air circulation and then freeze, the frost on the evaporator will easily affect the cooling effect. The existing solution is to reduce the compressor frequency based on the detected temperature on the evaporator coil to prevent the evaporator temperature from being too low (freeze protection), that is, when the evaporator temperature is below zero, the compressor is turned off so that the compressor Stop operation until the frost on the evaporator surface melts, and then restart refrigeration. However, this method of defrosting start control is unreasonable. It often happens that frost is not defrosted or there is no defrosting. For example, in practical applications, the evaporator is often frozen, but the temperature detected by the sensor is 7°C. The freezing protection conditions are not met, thus affecting the cooling effect of the air conditioner and reducing the user experience.
相应地,本领域需要一种新的技术方案来解决现有技术中所存在的问题。Accordingly, this field needs a new technical solution to solve the problems existing in the existing technology.

通过上述的除霜控制方法,将获取的出风口处的出风温度与第一预设温度和第二预设温度进行比较,根据比较的不同结果选择性地控制空调器进入第二除霜模式或者第三除霜模式,使得空调器能够根据结霜程度来选择与结霜程度相对应的除霜模式并控制空调器进行除霜,使得空调器能够根据室内换热器的实际结霜程度针对性地进行智能除霜,减少除霜次数和多余的除霜消耗,提高用户的使用体验。Through the above defrost control method, the obtained air outlet temperature at the air outlet is compared with the first preset temperature and the second preset temperature, and the air conditioner is selectively controlled to enter the second defrost mode according to the different results of the comparison. Or the third defrost mode allows the air conditioner to select a defrost mode corresponding to the degree of frost and control the air conditioner to defrost, so that the air conditioner can adjust the defrost mode according to the actual frost degree of the indoor heat exchanger.

The frost is blown on the surface of the heater, so that the frost layer on the surface of the indoor heat exchanger accelerates to melt under the action of the wind of the internal fan.

下面参照图1和图2对本发明的空调器的除霜控制方法进行详细描述。其中,图1是本发明的空调器的除霜控制方法的流程图;图2是本发明一种实施例中的空调器的除霜控制方法的流程图。The defrosting control method of the air conditioner of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 . Among them, FIG. 1 is a flow chart of the defrost control method of the air conditioner of the present invention; FIG. 2 is a flow chart of the defrost control method of the air conditioner in an embodiment of the present invention.
本发明的空调器主要包括空调室外机和空调室内机,空调室外机设有压缩机和外风机,空调室内机包括室内换热器和内风机,空调室内机还包括将流经室内换热器的气流导入室内的出风口,在内风机的带动下,气流进入室内机并经室内换热器降温后经出风口吹出。出风口处设置有测距装置,测距装置用于检测其与室内换热器表面上正对测距装置的位置的距离。空调器包括存储器和处理器。本发明的空调器可以是分体式空调器,也可以是一体式空调器。The air conditioner of the present invention mainly includes an air conditioner outdoor unit and an air conditioner indoor unit. The air conditioner outdoor unit is equipped with a compressor and an outdoor fan. The air conditioner indoor unit includes an indoor heat exchanger and an indoor fan. The air conditioner indoor unit also includes an indoor heat exchanger that flows through the room. The airflow is introduced into the indoor air outlet. Driven by the indoor fan, the airflow enters the indoor unit and is cooled by the indoor heat exchanger before being blown out through the air outlet. A distance measuring device is provided at the air outlet, and the distance measuring device is used to detect the distance from the position facing 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 present invention may be a split air conditioner or an integrated air conditioner.
具体地,如图1所示,本发明的除霜控制方法包括如下步骤:Specifically, as shown in Figure 1, the defrost control method of the present invention includes the following steps:
步骤S10:在空调器处于制冷模式下时,获取测距装置与室内换热器表面上正对测距装置的位置的距离;Step S10: When the air conditioner is in the cooling mode, obtain the distance between the distance measuring device and the position facing the distance measuring device on the surface of the indoor heat exchanger;
在步骤S10中,室内换热器为翅片式盘管式换热器,包括套在发卡管上的多个翅片,测距装置可以为激光测距传感器或者红外线距离传感器等,由于出风口处的温度最低,出风口处的翅片最容易结霜,因此将测距装置设置在靠近出风口处的翅片上,能够检测翅片上正对测距装置的位置与测距装置 之间的距离,从而通过距离判断翅片上是否存在霜层。In step S10, the indoor heat exchanger is a fin-type coil heat exchanger, including multiple fins covered with hairpin tubes. The distance measuring device can be a laser distance sensor or an infrared distance sensor. Since the air outlet The temperature is the lowest at the air outlet, and the fins at the air outlet are most likely to frost. Therefore, the distance measuring device is set on the fin close to the air outlet, and the distance between the position on the fin facing the distance measuring device and the distance measuring device can be detected. , thereby judging whether there is a frost layer on the fins through distance.
步骤S11:若距离小于第一预设距离,则控制空调器进入第一除霜模式;Step S11: If the distance is less than the first preset distance, control the air conditioner to enter the first defrost mode;
在步骤S11中,第一预设距离可以设置在0.5~1mm范围内,当距离小于第一预设距离时,表明翅片上结霜较为严重,从而控制空调器执行第一除霜模式。In step S11, the first preset distance can be set in the range of 0.5 to 1 mm. When the distance is smaller than the first preset distance, it indicates that the frost on the fins is severe, and the air conditioner is controlled to execute the first defrost mode.
第一除霜模式具体为控制空调器的压缩机和外风机停机,并控制空调器的内风机按照第一转速运行,第一转速可以设置为1100~1200rpm。The first defrost mode specifically controls the compressor and the external fan of the air conditioner to stop, and controls the internal fan of the air conditioner to run at a first speed, and the first speed can be set to 1100-1200 rpm.
步骤S12:若距离大于等于第一预设距离并且小于第二预设距离,则获取出风口处的出风温度;Step S12: If the distance is greater than or equal to the first preset distance and less than the second preset distance, obtain the air outlet temperature at the air outlet;
在步骤S12中,在室内换热器的出风口处至少设有一个用于检测翅片温度的温度传感器,第二预设距离可以设置在1~1.5mm范围内,当距离大于等于第一预设距离并且小于第二预设距离时,无法判断翅片上的障碍物是霜层还是灰尘,还可以通过温度传感器进一步获取出风口处的出风温度进行后续判断。In step S12, at least one temperature sensor for detecting fin temperature is provided at the air outlet of the indoor heat exchanger. The second preset distance can be set in the range of 1 to 1.5 mm. When the distance is greater than or equal to the first preset distance, When the distance is set and is less than the second preset distance, it is impossible to determine whether the obstacle on the fin is frost layer or dust. The temperature sensor can also be used to further obtain the air outlet temperature at the air outlet for subsequent judgment.
步骤S121:若出风温度小于第一预设温度并且大于等于第二预设温度,则控制空调器进入第二除霜模式;Step S121: If the outlet air temperature is less than the first preset temperature and greater than or equal to the second preset temperature, control the air conditioner to enter the second defrost mode;
在步骤S121中,第一预设温度可以设置在0~5℃范围内,当出风温度小于第一预设温度时,表面当前翅片上的温度较低,能够判断出当前翅片上正在结霜,进而控制空调器进入除霜模式。In step S121, the first preset temperature can be set in the range of 0 to 5°C. When the outlet air temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, the temperature on the current fins on the surface is low, and it can be judged that frost is forming on the current fins. , and then controls the air conditioner to enter defrost mode.
第二预设温度可以设置在-5~0℃范围内,当出风温度小于第一预设温度并且大于等于第二预设温度时,表明当前翅片上的温度较低,从而判断出当前翅片上正在结霜,控制空调器进入第二除霜模式,即控制空调器的压缩机和外风机停机,并控制空调器的内风机按照第二转速运行,第二转速可以设置为800~900rpm。The second preset temperature can be set in the range of -5 to 0°C. When the outlet air temperature is less than the first preset temperature and greater than or equal to the second preset temperature, it indicates that the temperature on the current fin is lower, thereby judging that the current fin Frost is forming on the chip, and the air conditioner is controlled to enter the second defrost mode, 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 run at the second speed. The second speed can be set to 800 to 900 rpm.
不同的地区的气候温度也颇为不同,尤其是南北方夏季温差很大,且昼夜温差也较大,如有些南方地区在夏季室外平均温度不高于30℃,而有些北方地区在夏季室外平均温度接近40℃。The climate temperatures in different regions are also quite different, especially the summer temperature difference between the north and the south is very large, and the temperature difference between day and night is also large. For example, in some southern areas, the average outdoor temperature in summer is not higher than 30℃, while in some northern areas, the average outdoor temperature in summer is The temperature is close to 40℃.
鉴于此,本发明根据空调器所在地区的制冷季节的环境进行区分,可以对不同地区的环境温度给出合适的第一预设温度,提高对除霜时机的判断准确性。In view of this, the present invention differentiates according to the environment of the cooling season in the area where the air conditioner is located, and can provide appropriate first preset temperatures for the ambient temperatures in different areas, thereby improving the accuracy of judgment of defrosting timing.
步骤S122:若出风温度小于第二预设温度,则控制空调器进入第三除霜模式;Step S122: If the outlet air temperature is lower than the second preset temperature, control the air conditioner to enter the third defrost mode;
在步骤S122中,当出风温度小于第二预设温度时,表明当前翅片上的温度很低,当前翅片上的结霜情况较为严重,控制空调器进入第三除霜模式,即控制空调器的压缩机和外风机停机,并控制空调器的内风机按照第三转速运行。In step S122, when the outlet air temperature is lower than the second preset temperature, it indicates that the temperature on the current fins is very low and the frost on the current fins is relatively serious. The air conditioner is controlled to enter the third defrost mode, that is, the air conditioner is controlled. The compressor and external fan are stopped, and the internal fan of the air conditioner is controlled to run at the third speed.
第三转速可以设置为900~1100rpm。The third rotation speed can be set to 900~1100rpm.
步骤S123:若出风温度不小于第一预设温度,则控制空调器进入自清洁模式;Step S123: If the outlet air temperature is not less than the first preset temperature, control the air conditioner to enter the self-cleaning mode;
在步骤S123中,出风温度大于等于第一预设温度时,表明当前翅片上虽有障碍物,但翅片的温度并未下降,从而判断出当前翅片上的障碍物为灰尘,控制空调器执行自清洁模式。In step S123, when the outlet air temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, it indicates that although there are obstacles on the current fins, the temperature of the fins has not dropped. Therefore, it is determined that the obstacles on the current fins are dust, and the air conditioner is controlled. Execute self-cleaning mode.
步骤S20:空调器运行除霜模式第一预设时长后,控制空调器退出除霜模式。Step S20: After the air conditioner runs the defrost mode for a first preset time period, control the air conditioner to exit the defrost mode.
在步骤S20中,第一预设时长是系统预先设置好的值,其可以为10~60分钟范围内的任意值。若长时间关闭压缩机和外风机,只打开内风机,会导致室内环境温度较高,影响用户的使用体验。因此,可以根据实际使用习惯将空调器的除霜模式运行时长调整为一个固定值,如可以将第一预设时长设置为20分钟、30分钟等。In step S20, the first preset time period is a value preset by the system, which can be any value within the range of 10 to 60 minutes. If the compressor and external fan are turned off for a long time and only the internal fan is turned on, the indoor ambient temperature will be high and the user's experience will be affected. Therefore, the running time of the defrost mode of the air conditioner can be adjusted to a fixed value according to actual usage habits. For example, the first preset time can be set to 20 minutes, 30 minutes, etc.
上述步骤S20中,除霜模式运行时长还可以根据具体结霜程度来进行不同的控制,例如,在一种可行的实施例中,当前除霜模式为第一除霜模式时,可以控制内风机在第一转速下运行30分钟;当前除霜模式为第二除霜模式时,可以控制内风机在第二转速下运行10分钟;当前除霜模式为第三除霜模式时,可以控制内风机在第三转速下运行20分钟。In the above step S20, the running time of the defrost mode can also be controlled differently according to the specific degree of frost. For example, in a feasible embodiment, when the current defrost mode is the first defrost mode, the internal fan can be controlled. Run at the first speed for 30 minutes; when the current defrost mode is the second defrost mode, the internal fan can be controlled to run at the second speed for 10 minutes; when the current defrost mode is the third defrost mode, the internal fan can be controlled Run at third speed for 20 minutes.
在步骤S20运行结束后,还可以利用测距装置重新检测出风口处的翅片与测距装置之间的距离,以此来判断室内换热器上的霜层是否被完全去除,能够避免室内换热器上的霜未被完全去除而空调器已经退出除霜模式的现象发生。After the operation of step S20 is completed, the distance between the fins at the air outlet and the distance measuring device can also be re-detected using the distance measuring device to determine whether the frost layer on the indoor heat exchanger has been completely removed, which can avoid indoor The frost on the heat exchanger has not been completely removed and the air conditioner has exited the defrost mode.
通过上述空调器的除霜控制方法,在空调器处于制冷模式时,能够利用设置在出风口处的测距装置检测测距装置与室内换热器表面上正对测距装 置的位置的距离,从而根据检测的距离可靠地推测出出风口处的翅片上是否结霜以及结霜厚度。Through the defrosting control method of the air conditioner described above, when the air conditioner is in the cooling mode, the distance measuring device provided at the air outlet can be used to detect the distance between the distance measuring device and the position facing the distance measuring device on the surface of the indoor heat exchanger. Therefore, it can be reliably estimated based on the detected distance whether there is frost on the fins at the air outlet and the thickness of the frost.
若距离超过第一预设距离,表明霜层很厚,则判断出风口处的翅片上结霜很严重,此时无需获取翅片温度,直接控制空调器执行第一除霜模式即可;If the distance exceeds the first preset distance, it indicates that the frost layer is very thick, and the frost on the fins at the air outlet is judged to be serious. At this time, there is no need to obtain the fin temperature, and the air conditioner can be directly controlled to execute the first defrost mode;
若距离大于等于第一预设距离并且小于第二预设距离,获取当前翅片温度,当翅片温度第一预设温度并且大于等于第二预设温度时,则判断出风口处的翅片上结霜不太严重,且霜层不是很厚,控制空调器执行第二除霜模式;If the distance is greater than or equal to the first preset distance and less than the second preset distance, the current fin temperature is obtained. When the fin temperature is the first preset temperature and greater than or equal to the second preset temperature, it is determined that the temperature on the fin at the air outlet is If the frost is not too severe and the frost layer is not very thick, control the air conditioner to execute the second defrost mode;
若当前翅片温度小于第二预设温度,表明当前翅片结霜较为严重,则控制空调器进入第三除霜模式。使得空调器能够基于当前室内换热器表面的情况和出风口处的翅片温度来判断,从而使得除霜启动控制方法更加合理,空调器能够及时并且有效地除霜。If the current fin temperature is less than the second preset temperature, indicating that the current fin frost is serious, the air conditioner is controlled to enter the third defrost mode. This enables the air conditioner to judge based on the current condition of the indoor heat exchanger surface and the fin temperature at the air outlet, thereby making the defrost start control method more reasonable and the air conditioner able to defrost in a timely and effective manner.
在一种可能的实施方式中,上述空调器的除霜控制方法还可以调整为,只检测测距装置与室内换热器表面上正对测距装置的位置的距离,根据距离选择性地控制空调器进入除霜模式,若距离小于第一预设距离,则控制空调器进入第一除霜模式;若距离不小于第一预设距离,则表明当前室内换热器的未结霜或者结霜程度不严重,可以不进行除霜。In a possible implementation, the defrosting control method of the above-mentioned air conditioner can also be adjusted to only detect the distance between the distance measuring device and the position facing the distance measuring device on the surface of the indoor heat exchanger, and selectively control the distance based on the distance. The air conditioner enters the defrost mode. If the distance is less than the first preset distance, the air conditioner is controlled to enter the first defrost mode; if the distance is not less than the first preset distance, it indicates that the current indoor heat exchanger is not frosted or frosted. If the degree of frost is not severe, defrosting is not required.
除霜模式的运行时长可以根据空调器的结霜程度和除霜情况来确定。The running time of the defrost mode can be determined according to the degree of frost and defrost conditions of the air conditioner.
在一种实施方式中,测距装置采用红外线距离传感器,将红外线距离传感器固定在出风口处的翅片上,红外线距离传感器可以检测出风口处的翅片表面的结霜情况。In one embodiment, the distance measuring device uses an infrared distance sensor, which is fixed on the fins at the air outlet. The infrared distance sensor can detect frost on the surface of the fins at the air outlet.
具体地,如图2所示,本发明的除霜控制方法包括如下步骤:Specifically, as shown in Figure 2, the defrost control method of the present invention includes the following steps:
步骤S10:在空调器处于制冷模式下时,获取红外线距离传感器与出风口处的翅片之间的距离;Step S10: When the air conditioner is in cooling mode, obtain the distance between the infrared distance sensor and the fins at the air outlet;
步骤S11:若距离小于1mm,则控制空调器进入第一除霜模式;Step S11: If the distance is less than 1mm, control the air conditioner to enter the first defrost mode;
在步骤S11中,进入第一除霜模式,即控制空调器的压缩机和外风机停机,并控制空调器的内风机按照1200rpm运行,也就是说,在霜层较厚时,红外线距离传感器与出风口处的翅片之间的距离小于1mm,则判断当前结霜程度为严重结霜,运行第一除霜模式时,空调器停止制冷一段时间,利用空调器的室内机高速转动来达到除霜的目的。In step S11, the first defrost 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 run at 1200 rpm. That is to say, when the frost layer is thick, the infrared distance sensor and If the distance between the fins at the air outlet is less than 1mm, the current degree of frost is judged to be severe frost. When running the first defrost mode, the air conditioner stops cooling for a period of time, and the indoor unit of the air conditioner is rotated at high speed to achieve defrosting. Frost purpose.
步骤S12:若距离大于等于1mm并且小于1.5mm,则获取出风口处的 出风温度;Step S12: If the distance is greater than or equal to 1mm and less than 1.5mm, obtain the air outlet temperature at the air outlet;
具体地,出风口处的翅片上设置有温度传感器,该温度传感器用于检测出风口处的翅片的实时温度。Specifically, a temperature sensor is provided on the fins at the air outlet, and the temperature sensor is used to detect the real-time temperature of the fins at the air outlet.
温度传感器能够连续检测当前出风口处的翅片温度,将测得的多个温度发送给空调器的存储器,用于进一步计算处理,最终的当前翅片温度为温度传感器测得的温度的平均值或者最低值。The temperature sensor can continuously detect the current fin temperature at the air outlet, and send the measured temperatures to the memory of the air conditioner for further calculation and processing. The final current fin temperature is the average of the temperatures measured by the temperature sensor. Or the lowest value.
在上述步骤S12中的出风温度为多个当前翅片温度的最低值。The outlet air temperature in step S12 is the lowest value of multiple current fin temperatures.
步骤S121:若出风温度小于3℃并且大于等于0℃,则控制空调器进入第二除霜模式;Step S121: If the outlet air temperature is less than 3°C and greater than or equal to 0°C, control the air conditioner to enter the second defrost mode;
在步骤S121中,3℃和0℃只是示例性展示,不构成对本发明的保护范围的限制,在实际应用中,用户可以根据不同除霜需求进行灵活设置。当出风温度小于3℃并且大于等于0℃时,则判断当前结霜程度为初级结霜,控制空调器进入第二除霜模式,即控制空调器的压缩机和外风机停机,并控制空调器的内风机按照800rpm运行;In step S121, 3°C and 0°C are only exemplary and do not limit the scope of the present invention. In practical applications, users can flexibly set them according to different defrosting requirements. When the outlet air temperature is less than 3°C and greater than or equal to 0°C, the current degree of frost is judged to be primary frost, and the air conditioner is controlled to enter the second defrost mode, that is, the compressor and outdoor fan of the air conditioner are controlled to stop, and the air conditioner is controlled. The internal fan of the device runs at 800rpm;
步骤S122:若出风温度小于0℃,则控制空调器进入第三除霜模式;Step S122: If the outlet air temperature is less than 0°C, control the air conditioner to enter the third defrost mode;
在步骤S122中,当出风温度小于0℃时,则判断当前结霜程度为中级结霜,控制空调器进入第三除霜模式,即控制空调器的压缩机和外风机停机,并控制空调器的内风机按照1000rpm运行;In step S122, when the outlet air temperature is less than 0°C, it is determined that the current degree of frost is intermediate frost, and the air conditioner is controlled to enter the third defrost mode, that is, the compressor and the outdoor fan of the air conditioner are controlled to stop, and the air conditioner is controlled. The internal fan of the device runs at 1000rpm;
步骤S123:若出风温度不小于3℃,则控制空调器进入自清洁模式;Step S123: If the outlet air temperature is not less than 3°C, control the air conditioner to enter the self-cleaning mode;
步骤S20:空调器运行除霜模式30分钟后,控制空调器退出除霜模式。Step S20: After the air conditioner runs in the defrost mode for 30 minutes, control the air conditioner to exit the defrost mode.
综上所述,本发明的空调器的除霜控制方法通过测量室内换热器与测距装置之间的距离,并获取出风口处的出风温度进行综合判断,为空调器是否执行除霜模式设置了更为精确的判定条件,不仅仅依赖于检测出风口处的出风温度来判断空调器是否结霜,从而能够准确判定空调器进入除霜模式的时机,尽可能地避免出现有霜不除或者无霜除霜的情况发生,保证了空调器除霜的及时性和有效性。To sum up, the defrost control method of the air conditioner of the present invention measures the distance between the indoor heat exchanger and the distance measuring device and obtains the air outlet temperature at the air outlet to make a comprehensive judgment to determine whether the air conditioner performs defrost. The mode sets more precise judgment conditions. It does not only rely on detecting the air temperature at the air outlet to judge whether the air conditioner is frosted, so that it can accurately determine the timing of the air conditioner entering the defrost mode and avoid frost as much as possible. The occurrence of no defrosting or no frost ensures the timeliness and effectiveness of air conditioner defrosting.
