Description

Control method and system of air conditioner under low-humidity heating working condition
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to a control method and a control system of an air conditioner under a low-humidity heating working condition.
Background
With the increasing living standard, the requirements of people on the quality of life are higher and higher, and the requirements are particularly obvious on household appliances. Taking an air conditioner as an example, in order to meet the requirement of a user for quick heating and bring more comfortable use experience, the existing air conditioner can generally make the compressor quickly increase the frequency to a higher frequency for operation when the air conditioner is just started. When the compressor is operated, refrigerant in the compressor is rapidly discharged to circulate in the pipe system. In the circulation process, the lubricating oil is discharged out of the compressor along with the refrigerant and enters the pipeline, and the dynamic balance of the lubricating oil in the whole system can be maintained only if the discharged part of the lubricating oil smoothly returns to the compressor (namely, oil return), otherwise, the compressor is damaged due to oil shortage. Most of air conditioners in the market at present adopt an arrangement mode of combining an oil separator and an oil return capillary tube, and lubricating oil discharged from a compressor is separated out through the oil separator and then returns to the compressor through the oil return capillary tube. However, in the case of the inverter air conditioner, as the operating frequency of the compressor increases, the discharge speed/velocity of the lubricating oil becomes faster and faster, and when the discharge speed/velocity of the lubricating oil exceeds the maximum oil return speed/velocity of the oil return capillary tube, the oil shortage phenomenon is easily generated. Therefore, in order to ensure normal oil return, during the process of rapidly raising the frequency of the compressor to a high frequency, the compressor is usually forced to operate for a period of time at a certain fixed frequency (oil return frequency), and the frequency raising is continued after the oil return is stable.
Although normal oil return is guaranteed by the arrangement mode, the compressor is forced to continuously run for a period of time on the oil return frequency, so that the frequency rising time of the compressor is too long in the process of quick heating of the air conditioner during starting, the speed of the compressor reaching the maximum working frequency is slowed down, the time for quick heating after the air conditioner is started is increased, the effect of quick heating of the air conditioner is influenced, and poor use experience is brought to a user. That is, the conventional method for controlling the frequency rise of the air conditioner during starting has the problem of poor quick heating effect due to long frequency rise time.
Accordingly, there is a need in the art for a new control method of an air conditioner to solve the above-mentioned problems.

As can be understood by those skilled in the art, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method for controlling the air conditioner under the low-humidity heating condition includes: acquiring the environmental humidity; when the environmental humidity is not greater than the set humidity, adjusting the opening degree of an expansion valve of the air conditioner to a first target opening degree; in the process of adjusting the opening degree of the expansion valve to a first target opening degree, starting an external fan of the air conditioner, and accelerating to a first target rotating speed according to a set acceleration; starting a compressor of the air conditioner at the same time, before or after the outer fan starts to increase the speed; continuously increasing the frequency of the compressor in stages according to a plurality of frequency increasing speeds; judging whether the frequency of the compressor reaches a first target frequency or not; and stopping the frequency increasing of the compressor when the frequency of the compressor reaches the first target frequency.

Specifically, when the environmental humidity is not more than the set humidity, the expansion valve is firstly reduced to a reference opening degree, the outer fan and the compressor are started simultaneously when the expansion valve reaches the reference opening degree, the outer fan keeps at the rotating speed after reaching the maximum working rotating speed, the compressor is started and then is subjected to frequency boosting according to a first frequency boosting speed, when the frequency of the compressor reaches a transition frequency, the compressor is subjected to frequency boosting according to a second frequency boosting speed, and when the frequency of the compressor reaches a first target frequency, the compressor stops frequency boosting. The transition frequency is smaller than the first target frequency, and the first frequency increasing speed is larger than the second frequency increasing speed. Preferably, the first target frequency is a maximum operating frequency of the compressor. Repeated experiments show that when the environmental humidity is not greater than the set humidity, the opening of the expansion valve is quickly reduced to the reference opening, then the outer fan and the compressor are started simultaneously when the expansion valve reaches the reference opening, the outer fan is accelerated to the maximum working speed, and the frequency of the compressor is increased in two or more stages at the frequency increasing speed of first high and second low.

Detailed Description
Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only for explaining the technical principle of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. For example, although the present invention is described in connection with an embodiment in which the compressor is provided with two frequency-increasing stages, the arrangement is not always the same, and those skilled in the art can apply the method of the present invention to other application scenarios without departing from the principle of the present invention, for example, the compressor may be provided with three or more frequency-increasing stages.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a control method of an air conditioner under a low-humidity heating condition according to the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1, in order to solve the problem of poor rapid heating effect caused by long frequency boosting time in the startup frequency boosting control method of the conventional air conditioner, the invention provides a control method of an air conditioner under a low humidity heating working condition, which mainly comprises the following steps:
s100, acquiring environment humidity, namely, after a user presses a starting switch of an air conditioner to start the air conditioner and selects a heating mode, acquiring the environment humidity by the air conditioner through a hygrometer or a humidity sensor and the like, wherein the environment humidity can refer to the relative humidity of an outdoor environment;
s200, when the environmental humidity is not more than the set humidity, adjusting the opening degree of an expansion valve of the air conditioner to a first target opening degree, for example, when the environmental humidity is not more than a certain relative humidity, reducing the opening degree of the expansion valve from 480 steps to a reference opening degree according to a valve closing speed, and then increasing the opening degree of the expansion valve from the reference opening degree to the first target opening degree according to a valve opening speed, preferably, the set humidity is 60%, and the expansion valve is an electronic expansion valve or other expansion valve capable of controlling the opening degree;
it should be noted that the opening adjustment of the electronic expansion valve is driven by the stepping motor, and the minimum angle range of the stepping motor is called one step, so the opening adjustment of the electronic expansion valve is generally measured by "steps". For example, the opening degree of the expansion valve is 200 steps. I.e. the stepper motor drives the expansion valve to rotate to the 200 th angular unit. In general, when the air conditioner is in the closed state, the expansion valve is in a larger opening degree to balance the system pressure, and the opening degree of the expansion valve in the closed state of the air conditioner may be 480 steps. The reference opening is the opening corresponding to the outdoor temperature and the compressor frequency according to the operation mode, and the setting of the reference opening is beneficial to the establishment of system pressure difference, so that the quick cooling and quick heating of the air conditioner are realized. The reference opening degree may be 280 steps according to the present invention. That is, while the outside fan is started, the expansion valve opening degree is first decreased from 480 steps to 280 steps at a valve closing speed of, for example, 200P/s (i.e., 200 steps/sec), and then increased from 280 steps to a first target opening degree at a valve opening speed of, for example, 40P/s (e.g., 400 steps).
S300, in the process of adjusting the opening degree of the expansion valve to a first target opening degree, starting an outer fan of the air conditioner, accelerating to a first target rotating speed according to a set acceleration, preferably, when the opening degree of the expansion valve reaches a reference opening degree, starting the outer fan according to the acceleration which is increased by 1000r/min per second, and reaching the first target rotating speed of 3000r/min in 3 seconds, preferably, the first target rotating speed is the maximum working rotating speed of the outer fan;
s400, starting a compressor of the air conditioner at the same time, before or after the outer fan starts to increase the speed, preferably, starting the compressor of the air conditioner at the same time when the outer fan starts to increase the speed;
s500, continuously increasing the frequency of the compressor in stages according to a plurality of set speeds, for example, after the compressor is started, increasing the frequency of the compressor according to a first frequency increasing speed, and immediately switching to a second frequency increasing speed to continue increasing the frequency after the compressor operates to a certain frequency or operates for a period of time;
s600, judging whether the frequency of the compressor reaches a first target frequency, acquiring the current frequency of the compressor in real time, and comparing the current frequency with the first target frequency;
s700, when the frequency of the compressor reaches the first target frequency, the compressor stops increasing the frequency, and if the current frequency reaches the first target frequency, the compressor is maintained at the first target frequency to continue working. Preferably, the first target opening degree is an expansion valve opening degree that matches a first target frequency of the compressor, that is, the expansion valve opening degree also increases from the reference opening degree to the first target opening degree just during the consecutive upshifting to the first target frequency in stages of the start-up of the compressor.
It can be seen from the above description that, in the control method of the air conditioner of the present invention, when the ambient humidity is not greater than 60%, the expansion valve is started before the compressor, and the compressor and the external fan are started simultaneously when the expansion valve reaches the reference opening, on one hand, the opening of the expansion valve can be matched with the working frequency of the compressor when the compressor is started in advance, thereby avoiding the situation that the opening of the expansion valve is not matched with the compressor when the expansion valve is started together with the compressor, on the other hand, the compressor can be started and frequency-increased as soon as possible when the ambient humidity is not high, the step of starting the external fan for heat dissipation (to avoid rapid frost formation) before the compressor is started is omitted, the frequency-increasing time of the compressor is further shortened, and the heating effect after. The control method for continuously increasing the frequency of the compressor in stages at different frequency increasing speeds after the compressor is started can further shorten the frequency increasing time of the compressor, improve the heating effect of the compressor after the compressor is started and achieve the purpose of rapid heating. In other words, the invention cancels the process of continuous operation on the oil return frequency in the frequency rising process of the compressor, and ensures the normal oil return of the compressor and can complete the quick frequency rising of the compressor at the same time by adjusting the opening degree of the expansion valve to the reference opening degree in advance, starting the outer fan and the compressor and controlling the frequency rising speed of the compressor, thereby solving the problem of poor quick heating effect caused by long frequency rising time in the existing starting frequency rising control method, improving the comfort of the air conditioner and improving the user experience.
Of course, the first target rotation speed is not limited to one form of the maximum working rotation speed, and in the case that the heat dissipation condition of the compressor can be improved, a person skilled in the art can set the first target rotation speed to any reasonable value, so that it meets more specific application scenarios, for example, the first target rotation speed may also be a certain rotation speed value close to the maximum working rotation speed of the external fan or a maximum rotation speed value that the external fan can reach at the external environment temperature. Similarly, the setting of the ambient humidity is not limited to 60%, and those skilled in the art can adjust the setting based on different climatic conditions in different regions, for example, the value can be increased appropriately in dry regions, the set humidity can be set to about 65%, the value can be decreased appropriately in wet regions, the set humidity can be set to about 55%, and the like.
The principles of the present invention are further explained with reference to fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram comparing the frequency increasing process of the compressor of the control method of the air conditioner under the low humidity heating condition of the present invention and the compressor of the prior art. In fig. 2, a solid line represents an up-conversion process of the compressor in the control method of the present invention, and a dotted line represents an up-conversion process of the compressor in the related art.
As shown in fig. 2, in the prior art, a fixed frequency-increasing speed V (e.g. 1Hz/s) is generally adopted for frequency-increasing after the compressor is started, and a first oil-returning frequency f is set during the frequency-increasing process to ensure normal oil-returning of the compressor1And a second oil return frequency f2When the compressor is raised to the first oil return frequency f1When the frequency of the compressor is increased, the frequency of the compressor is increased at the frequency increasing speed V, and the frequency of the compressor is increased at the frequency increasing speed V. Likewise, the frequency of the compressor is increased to a second oil return frequency f2And maintaining the frequency for a period of time to ensure that the compressor continues to increase the frequency after stable oil return until the compressor reaches the maximum frequency fmaxAnd then stopping the frequency raising. As described in the background, such an up-conversion is due to the first oil return frequency f1And a second oil return frequency f2The temperature is maintained for a period of time, so the frequency rising speed of the compressor is seriously influenced, and although the stable oil return of the compressor is ensured, the requirement of rapid heating cannot be well met.
With continued reference to FIG. 2, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the continuous up-conversion process of the compressor may be divided into two stages, wherein the first stage compressor operates at a first up-conversion speed V1And performing frequency raising, and entering a second stage when the frequency is raised to the transition frequency. The second stage compressor at a second raising speed V2And performing frequency raising, and stopping frequency raising when the frequency is raised to the first target frequency. Preferably, the transition frequency may be set to the first oil return frequency f1. First raising frequency speed V1Greater than the second up-conversion speed V2For example, the first up-conversion rate may be set to 1.2Hz/s and the second up-conversion rate may be set to 0.5 Hz/s.
That is to say, in the control method of the present invention, S500 may further include the following steps:
s510, enabling the compressor to be at a first frequency increasing speed V1Performing frequency raising, such as raising the frequency of the compressor at a frequency raising speed of 1.2Hz/s by a control system of the air conditioner;
s520, judging whether the frequency of the compressor reaches the transition frequency, if so, setting the transition frequency as a first oil return frequency f1The control system judges whether the current frequency of the compressor reaches the first oil return frequency f1
S530, reaching the transition frequency f at the compressor frequency1While the compressor is driven at a second up-conversion speed V2Performing frequency raising, e.g. at the control system determining that the current frequency of the compressor reaches f1And continuously increasing the frequency of the compressor according to the frequency increasing speed of 0.5Hz/s so as to continuously increase the frequency on the premise of ensuring the stable oil return of the compressor and finish the rapid heating of the air conditioner.
Preferably, the transition frequency f1Less than a first target frequency set to the maximum operating frequency f of the compressormax
The control method has the advantages that: by controlling the frequency-raising speed of the compressor in the frequency-raising process, the speed/speed of the lubricating oil discharged from the compressor is correspondingly changed in the frequency-raising process of the compressor at different frequency-raising speeds, so that the oil return speed/speed of the oil return capillary tube is adapted, and the oil return stability of the compressor is ensured. Specifically, by making the compressor at the transition frequency f1The control method for changing the raising frequency speed, i.e. raising frequency in two stages with the raising frequency speed being fast first and slow second, makes the compressor at the first raising frequency speed V1At the time of frequency increase, the speed/rate of the lubricant oil discharged from the compressor reaches or exceeds the oil return speed/rate of the oil return capillary tube, and the lubricant oil in the compressor is gradually reduced. When the transition frequency f is reached1While the compressor is switched to follow the second raising speed V2Increasing the frequency, wherein the lubricant flowing out of the compressor is greatly reduced, the speed/velocity of the lubricant discharged from the compressor is less than the oil return speed/velocity of the oil return capillary tube, and the lubrication in the compressorThe amount of oil is secured. That is, the invention can ensure the normal oil return of the compressor through the change of the frequency raising speed, and simultaneously correspondingly accelerate the frequency raising speed of the compressor by canceling the control mode of the continuous operation stage on the oil return frequency, so that the compressor can be raised to the maximum working frequency more quickly, and then the compressor can be operated at the maximum working frequency, thereby meeting the requirement of the user on quick heating. As is apparent from fig. 2, through repeated experiments by the inventor, the time for the compressor of the present invention to reach the maximum operating frequency is significantly less than the time for the compressor of the prior art to reach the maximum operating frequency.
It should be noted that the above preferred control method and specific values are only used for illustrating the principle of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention, and those skilled in the art can make any type of adjustment on the above parameters without departing from the principle of the present invention, as long as the adjusted technical scheme can improve the condition of raising the frequency raising speed on the premise of ensuring the normal oil return of the compressor. If the frequency raising stage can be further divided into three stages, each stage raises the frequency at different frequency raising speeds (such as fast and slow modes); the transition frequency can also float up and down according to the first oil return frequency; the first target frequency is not the maximum operating frequency of the compressor but a value close to the maximum operating frequency, etc.
In addition, in order to better improve the experience of the user using the air conditioner, when the compressor operates at the maximum operating frequency, the control method of the air conditioner of the present invention may further include the steps of:
s800, acquiring environmental parameters, such as current environmental temperature (such as indoor/outdoor temperature);
s900, when the environmental parameter reaches/approaches the target parameter, the compressor is reduced to a second target frequency, meanwhile, the rotating speed of the outer fan is reduced to the second target rotating speed, and the opening degree of the expansion valve is reduced to the second target opening degree.
The advantages of this arrangement are: after the air conditioner heats rapidly for a period of time, the indoor temperature rises correspondingly, when the indoor temperature of the ring reaches/approaches the temperature set by a user, the compressor does not need to work continuously at the maximum working frequency, the external fan does not need to work at the maximum rotating speed for heat dissipation naturally, and the expansion valve does not need to work at the first target opening matched with the compressor.
