本发明涉及空调自清洁技术领域，具体涉及一种室内换热器的管内自清洁控制方法。
背景技术
空调在使用一段时间后，制冷制热效果会变差。影响制冷制热效果的因素有很多，其中换热器脏堵为主要原因之一。对于室内换热器来说，其脏堵主要包括管外脏堵和管内脏堵，管外脏堵主要由于室内的灰尘杂质等积聚换热器的翅片间隙而影响送风效果，导致管外换热系数降低，换热器与空气之间的换热效果变差。管内脏堵主要由于冷媒与换热器盘管之间的换热系数降低，影响管内冷媒的能量向外传递。其中，影响管内脏堵的主要因素为冷冻机油，压缩机里面冷冻机油伴随冷媒流动到换热器的发卡管，由于目前发卡管为内螺纹铜管，影响冷冻机油的流动，再加上冷媒流动的离心力作用，导致部分冷冻机油不能及时返回压缩机内部，停留在螺纹状的铜管内壁，阻碍了冷媒与盘管之间的传热，降低了传热温差，使空调制冷制热效果变差。
室内换热器的管外脏堵还可以通过人为定期清洗、或者空调结霜化霜操作等方式去除表面灰尘杂质，但是管内脏堵不仅是影响空调的制冷制热效果的主要因素之一，而且还无法手动清洁。因此，如何对室内换热器进行管内清洁成为空调厂家亟待解决的问题。
相应地，本领域需要一种新的室内换热器的管内自清洁控制方法来解决上述问题。

具体实施方式
下面参照附图来描述本申请的优选实施方式。本领域技术人员应当理解的是，这些实施方式仅仅用于解释本申请的技术原理，并非旨在限制本申请的保护范围。例如，尽管下文详细描述了本申请方法的详细步骤，但是，在不偏离本申请的基本原理的前提下，本领域技术人员可以对上述步骤进行组合、拆分及调换顺序，如此修改后的技术方案并没有改变本申请的基本构思，因此也落入本申请的保护范围之内。
需要说明的是，在本申请的描述中，术语“第一”、“第二”、“第三”仅用于描述目的，而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性。
还需要说明的是，在本申请的描述中，除非另有明确的规定和限定，术语“连接”应做广义理解，例如，可以是固定连接，也可以是可拆卸连接，或一体地连接；可以是机械连接，也可以是电连接；可以是直接相连， 也可以通过中间媒介间接相连，可以是两个元件内部的连通。对于本领域技术人员而言，可根据具体情况理解上述术语在本申请中的具体含义。
首先参照图1，对本申请的空调器的结构进行描述。其中，图1为本申请的空调器的系统图。
如图1所示，在一种可能的实施方式中，空调器包括压缩机1、四通阀2、室外换热器3、节流装置4、室内换热器5和储液器9。压缩机1的排气口通过冷媒管路6与四通阀2的P接口连通，四通阀2的E接口通过冷媒管路6与室内换热器5的进口连通，室内换热器5的出口通过冷媒管路6与节流装置4的一端口连通，节流装置4的另一端口通过冷媒管路6与室外换热器3的进口连通，室外换热器3的出口通过冷媒管路6与四通阀2的C接口连通，四通阀2的S接口通过冷媒管路6与储液器9的进口连通，储液器9的出口通过管路与压缩机1的吸气口连通。本申请中节流装置4优选地为电子膨胀阀，储液器9内设置有过滤网，储液器9能够起到贮藏冷媒、冷媒气液分离、油污过滤、消音和冷媒缓冲等作用。
本申请的空调器还包括回收管路7和通断阀8，回收管路7采用内壁光滑的铜管，该铜管的第一端设置在节流装置4与室外换热器3的进口之间的冷媒管路6上，铜管的第二端设置在四通阀2的S接口与储液器9的进口之间的冷媒管路6上。通断阀8优选地为电磁阀，电磁阀为常闭阀且设置在回收管路7上，该电磁阀与空调器的控制器通信连接，以接收控制器下发的开启和关闭信号。当然，通断阀8也可以选择电子膨胀阀等电控阀。
以下本实施例的室内换热器的管内自清洁控制方法将结合上述空调器的结构进行描述，但本领域技术人员可以理解的是，空调器的具体结构组成并非一成不变，本领域技术人员可以对其进行调整，例如，四通阀2和储液器9中的一个或全部可以省略，或者在上述空调器的结构的基础上增加其他部件等。
下面结合图1和图2，对本申请的室内换热器的管内自清洁控制方法进行介绍。其中，图2为本申请的室内换热器的管内自清洁控制方法的流程图。
如图2所示，为了解决如何实现室内换热器的管内自清洁的问题，本申请的室内换热器的管内自清洁控制方法包括：
S101、响应于接收到的对室内换热器进行管内自清洁的指令，进入管内自清洁模式。
一种可能的实施方式中，对室内换热器进行管内自清洁的指令可以由用户主动发出，如通过遥控器上的按键向空调器发送指令，或者通过与空调器通信连接的终端发送指令，其中终端可以为智能设备上安装的APP，APP直接或通过向云端向空调器发送指令。其中，智能设备包括但不限于手机、平板电脑、智能音箱、智能手表等，智能设备与空调器或云端通讯连接的方式包括但不限于wifi、蓝牙、红外、3G/4G/5G等。空调器在接收到对室内换热器进行管内自清洁的指令后，切换运行模式到管内自清洁模式，开始对室内换热器的盘管进行管内自清洁。其中，管内自清洁模式可以为计算机程序，其预先存储于空调器中，当运行该模式时，空调器按照程序设定好的步骤对空调器各部件的运行进行控制。
当然，自清洁指令也可以在空调器达到某些进入条件时自动发出，如空调器的累计工作时长达到预设时长时发出对室内换热器进行管内自清洁的指令等，其中预设时长例如可以是20h-40h。
S103、控制节流装置关闭到最小开度。
一种可能的实施方式中，控制电子膨胀阀关闭到最小开度，即开度为0的状态，此时电子膨胀阀实现完全节流，冷媒无法流过。参照图1，以进入管内自清洁模式之前空调器运行制热模式为例，由于通断阀为常闭阀，再加上电子膨胀阀关闭到最小开度，因此由压缩机排出的冷媒全部聚积在室内换热器和部分冷媒管路中。
S105、控制压缩机调整至预设的自清洁频率。
一种可能的实施方式中，自清洁频率为预先通过试验确定的频率，该频率可以接近或达到压缩机的最高运行频率，当压缩机在较高频率运行时，其排气口排出的冷媒压力和温度均较高，因此能够使得压缩机排出的冷媒快速升温升压。较为优选地，自清洁频率为室外环境温度对应的最高限值频率。通常，压缩机的运行频率受室外环境温度影响，不能无限制地上升，否则容易出现压缩机高温保护停机的现象，对压缩机的寿命造成不良影响。因此，压缩机均设置有保护机制，在不同室外环境 温度下，对应设置有最高限值频率，本申请的自清洁频率即为压缩机在当前室外环境温度下的最高限值频率，在该频率限值下，压缩机能够以最短的时间实现冷媒排出和聚积。其中，室外环境温度的获取方式为本领域常规手段，在此不再赘述。
需要说明的是，虽然本申请中未列举具体数值对自清洁频率进行说明，但这并不代表本申请的控制方法无法实施，在不同型号的空调器和不同环境条件下，自清洁频率可能存在不同，因此本领域技术人员可以基于具体应用场景对自清洁频率进行设定，只要该频率的设置能够使得压缩机排出的冷媒具有较高的压力和较高的温度即可。
S107、每隔第一间隔时间获取压缩机的排气温度、排气压力和/或室内盘管温度。
一种可能的实施方式中，压缩机的排气温度可以通过在压缩机的排气口处设置温度传感器获取，排气压力可以通过在压缩机的排气口设置压力传感器获取，室内盘管温度可以通过在室内换热器的盘管上设置温度传感器获取。第一间隔时间可以为1s-5s中的任意值，该值的选取与排气温度、排气压力和/或室内盘管温度的上升速度以及本申请要达到的控制精度相关。如果自清洁频率相对较大，排气温度、排气压力和/或室内盘管温度的上升速度较快，或者本申请需要达到较高的控制精度，则第一间隔时间可以选取1s、2s、或者更短时间，如果自清洁频率相对较小，排气温度、排气压力和/或室内盘管温度的上升速度较慢，或者本申请的控制方法无需达到很高的精度，则第一间隔时间可以选择4s、5s、甚至更长时间。
本申请中，优选地选取第一间隔时间为1s，并且运行过程中同时获取排气温度、排气压力和室内盘管温度。也就是说，在压缩机达到自清洁频率后，每隔1s同时获取压缩机的排气温度、排气压力和室内盘管温度。
当然，在其他非优选的实施方式中，也可以仅获取上述三个参数中的一个。此外，排气温度、排气压力和室内盘管温度的获取方式并非唯一，本领域技术人员可以对其进行调整，这种调整并未偏离本申请的原理，例如，可以通过在室外换热器的盘管上设置温度传感器和压力传感器等来获取上述排气温度和排气压力。
S109、基于获取到的排气温度、排气压力和/或室内盘管温度，判断开阀条件是否成立。
一种可能的实施方式中，开阀条件包括下列条件中的至少一个：(1)排气温度大于等于排气温度阈值且持续第一设定时间；(2)排气压力大于等于排气压力阈值且持续第二设定时间；(3)室内盘管温度大于等于盘管温度阈值且持续第三设定时间。当排气温度大于等于排气温度阈值且持续第一设定时间时，证明此时压缩机排气口之后聚积的冷媒已经达到相当高的温度。同理，当排气压力大于等于排气压力阈值且持续第二设定时间时，证明此时压缩机排气口之后聚积的冷媒已经达到相当高的压力，当室内盘管温度大于等于盘管温度阈值时，证明此时室内换热器内的冷媒已经达到高温状态。
当然，本申请中，上述开阀条件仅仅为较优选的实施方式，在不偏离本申请原理的前提下，本领域技术人员可以对上述开阀条件进行调整，只要调整后的条件能够正确判断出压缩机后聚积的冷媒的状态即可。例如，开阀条件还可以只包括上述三个条件中的一个或两个；或者开阀条件可以仅包括对温度/压力的判断，而省略对持续时间的判断等。
S111、在开阀条件成立时，控制节流装置和通断阀打开。
在一种可能的实施方式中，在上述条件(1)-(3)任一成立时，控制节流装置和通断阀打开。此时，如图1中箭头所示，聚积在压缩机排气口至电子膨胀阀之间的高温高压冷媒通过回收管路回流到储液器，然后在压缩机的压缩下，再次经过排气口排出，实现冷媒的循环。循环过程中，利用高温高压冷媒的快速流动冲击、清洗室内换热器的盘管内壁上附着的油污，并将冲洗下来的油污通过回收管路直接回收到储液器中实现对油污过滤和对机油的回收。较为优选地，控制节流装置打开至最大开度，如此一来，能够使高温高压冷媒迅速通过，减少冷媒流动过程中的压降，提高管内自清洁效果。
可以看出，通过控制电子膨胀阀关闭到最小开度，使得压缩机中排出的冷媒积聚在室内换热器和部分冷媒管路中，从而冷媒的温度和压力短时间内迅速增大，当基于压缩机的排气温度、排气压力和室内盘管温度判断开阀条件成立时打开节流装置和通断阀，能够利用高温高压冷媒的快速流动对室内换热器的盘管内部进行有效冲洗，将盘管内壁上的油 污冲刷掉并随冷媒一起由回收管路直接返回至储液器内部，实现对室内换热器的自清洁。
此外，通过在空调器中设置回收管路，本申请能够在对室内换热器执行管内自清洁过程中，利用回收管路实现对冷冻机油的回收，实现高温高压冷媒在对室内换热器进行冲刷后，无需再次经过室外换热器，而是直接将油污带回储液器中进行回收过滤，然后再次经压缩机压缩排出循环，减少了高温冷媒的流动行程、减少沿程压降，提高管内自清洁效果。通过储液器的设置，能够对回收的冷冻机油进行过滤，避免冷冻机油中的杂质继续参与冷媒循环。
在一种可能的实施方式中，管内自清洁控制方法还包括：在获取压缩机的排气温度、排气压力和/或室内盘管温度之前，控制室内风机停止运行。具体地，进入管内自清洁模式后，首先控制室内风机停止运行，以减小室内换热器与空气之间的换热效果，从而能够加快冷媒温度和压力提升速度，使得控制方法能够尽快达到开阀条件。
在一种可能的实施方式中，管内自清洁控制方法还包括：在控制节流装置和通断阀打开的同时或之后，控制室内风机启动运行。在进行管内自清洁过程中，由于压缩机排出的冷媒未经过室外换热器而直接回到压缩机内部，使得压缩机内部的温度逐渐升高，存在压缩机高温保护停机的风险。为保证管内自清洁的顺利运行，发明人通过反复计算、试验、观测和比较后发现，通过在节流装置和通断阀打开的同时或之后，开启室内风机，能够避免压缩机高温保护停机的同时，保证压缩机排出的冷媒处于符合自清洁条件的温度和压力范围。其中，室内风机的转速可以参照制热模式控制方式进行控制，也可以采用固定转速的方式进行控制，但总的来说，控制室内风机运行的前提是避免高温保护停机，并对管内自清洁模式的运行产生尽可能小的影响。此外，虽然开启室内风机会使得部分冷媒换热液化，但是在高温高压的作用下，出现液化的冷媒完全可以通过储液器进行回收，不足以对管内自清洁的过程产生实质影响。
在一种可能的实施方式中，管内自清洁控制方法还包括：在管内自清洁模式运行过程中，控制室外风机保持当前运行状态。具体地，由于执行管内自清洁之后，需要切换回制热模式继续运行，因此为了保证用 户体验，控制室外风机保持当前运行状态，以便在管内自清洁模式运行结束之后尽快向室内提供热风，减少运行波动，提高空调器运行稳定性。
在一种可能的实施方式中，管内自清洁控制方法还包括：在节流装置和通断阀打开并持续第四设定时间后，退出管内自清洁模式。其中，第四设定时间可以为3min-10min中的任意值，本申请优选为5min。当节流装置和通断阀打开的时间持续5min时，高温高压冷媒已经循环多次，足以产生较佳的管内自清洁效果，因此在节流装置和通断阀打开5min时，退出管内自清洁模式。
具体地，退出管内自清洁模式的步骤进一步包括：控制压缩机恢复至进入管内自清洁模式之前的频率、控制节流装置保持最大开度、控制通断阀关闭。在管内自清洁过程执行完毕后，空调器需要恢复到管内自清洁之前的运行模式，以继续调节室内温度。仍以进入管内清洁模式之前空调器运行制热模式为例，在执行完管内自清洁模式后，需要切换回制热模式运行。此时，控制压缩机由自清洁频率恢复至进入管内自清洁之前的频率，控制电子膨胀阀保持最大开度、并控制通断阀关闭，使得冷媒以正常制热模式的流向流动。其中，节流装置保持最大开度，由于管内自清洁模式运行时绝大多数冷媒在压缩机和室内换热器之间循环，导致室外换热器中冷媒缺失，因此节流装置保持最大开度，使得冷媒迅速充满室外换热器，以尽快实现冷媒的正常循环。
相应地，在控制节流装置保持最大开度并持续第五设定时间后，控制节流装置恢复至进入管内自清洁模式之前的开度。其中，第五设定时间可以为1min-5min内的任意值，本申请优选为3min，当电子膨胀阀保持最大开度运行3min后，冷媒循环已经趋于稳定，此时控制电子膨胀阀恢复至进入管内自清洁模式之前的开度，从而使空调器完全恢复进入管内自清洁之前的制冷参数继续运行。
当然，退出管内自清洁模式的方式并非只限于上述一种，在能够使空调器恢复至进入管内自清洁模式之前的运行状态的前提下，本领域技术人员可以自由选择具体的控制方式，这种选择并未偏离本申请的原理。例如，可以直接控制所有的部件恢复至进入管内自清洁模式之前的运行状态，也可以先控制某一个或几个部件先恢复至进入管内自清洁模式之 前的运行状态，再逐渐使所有部件恢复至进入管内自清洁模式之前的运行状态。
下面参照图3，对本申请的一种可能的实施过程进行描述。其中，图3为本申请的室内换热器的管内自清洁控制方法的一种可能的实施过程的逻辑图。
如图3所示，在一种可能的实施过程中，空调器运行制热模式时，用户通过遥控器按键向空调器发送对室内换热器进行管内自清洁的指令：
首先执行步骤S201，空调器进入管内自清洁模式，即控制电子膨胀阀关闭至最小开度、控制压缩机升频至室外环境温度对应的最高限值频率、控制室内风机停止运行、控制室外风机维持当前转速。
接下来执行步骤S203，获取压缩机的排气温度Td和排气压力Pd、以及室内换热器的室内盘管温度Tp。
接下来执行步骤S205，判断Td≥T1、Pd≥P和Tp≥T2中是否至少一个成立，其中T1为排气温度阈值，P为排气压力阈值，T2为盘管温度阈值。当判断结果为至少一个成立时，执行步骤S207，否则，当三个判断条件均不成立时，返回执行步骤S203。
S207，控制电磁阀打开、电子膨胀阀打开至最大开度，同时控制室内风机开启。
接下来执行步骤S209，判断电子膨胀阀和电磁阀共同打开的持续时间t1≥5min是否成立；如果判断结果为成立，则执行步骤S211，否则，当判断结果不成立，则返回继续执行步骤S209。
S211，退出管内自清洁模式，具体地，控制电子膨胀阀保持最大开度、控制压缩机恢复至进入管内自清洁模式前的频率，控制电磁阀关闭。
接下来执行步骤S213，判断电子膨胀阀保持最大开度的持续时间t2≥3min是否成立；在判断结果为成立时，执行步骤S215；否则，在判断结果为不成立时，返回继续执行步骤S213。
S215，控制电子膨胀阀恢复至进入管内自清洁模式前的开度，至此空调器恢复至进入管内自清洁模式前的制冷模式运行。
本领域技术人员可以理解，上述充空调器还包括一些其他公知结构，例如处理器、控制器、存储器等，其中，存储器包括但不限于随机存储 器、闪存、只读存储器、可编程只读存储器、易失性存储器、非易失性存储器、串行存储器、并行存储器或寄存器等，处理器包括但不限于CPLD/FPGA、DSP、ARM处理器、MIPS处理器等。为了不必要地模糊本公开的实施例，这些公知的结构未在附图中示出。
上述实施例中虽然将各个步骤按照上述先后次序的方式进行了描述，但是本领域技术人员可以理解，为了实现本实施例的效果，不同的步骤之间不必按照这样的次序执行，其可以同时(并行)执行或以颠倒的次序执行，这些简单的变化都在本申请的保护范围之内。例如，虽然上述步骤S205中是结合同时判断Td≥T1、Pd≥P和Tp≥T2三个条件进行描述的，但是本领域技术人员可以理解，上述三个条件也可以先后判断。
需要说明的是，虽然上述实施例是结合进入管内自清洁模式前空调器运行制热模式进行介绍的，但是这并非旨在于限制本申请的保护范围，在空调器运行其他模式时，如果接收到进入管内自清洁模式的指令，则控制四通阀进行相应的通断电切换即可。例如，在空调运行制冷模式的前提下，当接收到进入管内自清洁模式的指令时，则先控制四通阀通电切换为制热模式，然后再按照上述控制方式执行管内自清洁模式。
至此，已经结合附图所示的优选实施方式描述了本申请的技术方案，但是，本领域技术人员容易理解的是，本申请的保护范围显然不局限于这些具体实施方式。在不偏离本申请的原理的前提下，本领域技术人员可以对相关技术特征作出等同的更改或替换，这些更改或替换之后的技术方案都将落入本申请的保护范围之内。
