Taking an air conditioner as an example, in order to meet the requirement of a user on quick refrigeration and bring more comfortable use experience, the conventional air conditioner can generally enable a compressor to quickly increase the frequency to be operated at a higher frequency 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 has been guaranteed to above-mentioned mode of setting, the compressor of force lasts the mode of setting of operation a period on the oil return frequency for the air conditioner is at the quick refrigeration in-process of start, and the frequency rise time overlength of compressor has slowed down the speed that the compressor reaches maximum operating frequency, has just also increased the quick refrigerated time after the air conditioner start, and then influences the quick refrigerated effect of air conditioner, experiences for the user brings not good use. That is, the conventional method for controlling the frequency rise of the air conditioner during starting has the problem of poor quick cooling effect caused by long frequency rise time.

The outer fan is enabled to reach the first target rotating speed before the compressor is started, the opening degree of the expansion valve is reduced to the reference opening degree, namely, the high rotating speed is used for driving air to flow to dissipate heat of the compressor in advance, and the opening degree of the expansion valve is enabled to be matched with the compressor in advance when the compressor is started, so that the compressor can have good heat dissipation conditions and matched opening degree of the expansion valve before being started, the situation that the heat dissipation effect of the compressor is poor and the matching degree of the opening degree of the expansion valve and the compressor is poor due to the fact that the outer fan and the expansion valve are started together with the compressor is avoided, and the refrigeration effect of the compressor after being started is rapidly improved.
Specifically, the compressor is started when the external fan reaches the maximum rotating speed and the expansion valve is reduced to the reference opening degree, the compressor is firstly subjected to frequency boosting according to a first frequency boosting speed after being started, the compressor is subjected to frequency boosting according to a second frequency boosting speed when the frequency of the compressor reaches a transition frequency, and the compressor is stopped from frequency boosting when the frequency of the compressor reaches a first target frequency.

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 flow chart illustrating a control method of an air conditioner in a cooling mode according to the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1, in order to solve the problem of poor quick cooling effect caused by long frequency boosting time in the starting up frequency boosting control method of the existing air conditioner, the invention provides a control method of an air conditioner in a cooling mode, which mainly comprises the following steps:
s100, starting an external fan of the air conditioner, accelerating to a first target rotating speed according to a set acceleration, starting the air conditioner according to the acceleration which is increased by 1000r/min per second if a user presses a starting switch of the air conditioner to start the air conditioner and selects a refrigeration mode, and reaching the first target rotating speed of 3000r/min in 3 seconds, wherein the first target rotating speed is preferably the maximum working rotating speed of the external fan;
s200, rapidly adjusting the opening degree of an expansion valve of the air conditioner to a first target opening degree at the same time, before or after the outer fan starts to increase the speed, if the outer fan is started, the expansion valve is firstly reduced to a reference opening degree according to a valve closing speed from 480 steps, and then is increased to the first target opening degree according to a valve opening speed from the reference opening degree, and preferably, the expansion valve is an electronic expansion valve or other expansion valves 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, starting a compressor of the air conditioner when the external fan and/or the expansion valve reach set conditions, for example, starting the compressor of the air conditioner in the process that the rotating speed of the external fan is increased to a first target rotating speed and/or the opening degree of the expansion valve is adjusted to a first target opening degree, and preferably, starting the compressor of the air conditioner when the external fan reaches the first target rotating speed and the expansion valve reaches a reference opening degree at the same time;
s400, continuously increasing the frequency of the compressor in stages according to a plurality of frequency increasing 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 continuously increase the frequency after the compressor operates to a certain frequency or operates for a period of time;
s500, 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;
s600, 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 the control method of the air conditioner of the present invention can create a good heat dissipation condition for the compressor in advance by starting the compressor when the external fan reaches the maximum operating speed, and can match the opening degree of the expansion valve with the operating frequency of the compressor when the compressor is started by starting the expansion valve when the expansion valve reaches the reference opening degree, thereby avoiding the situations that the heat dissipation effect of the compressor is not good and the opening degree of the expansion valve is not matched with the compressor due to the fact that the external fan and the expansion valve are started together with the compressor. The compressor is started and then continuously raised in stages at different raising frequency speeds, so that the raising frequency time of the compressor can be greatly shortened, the refrigeration effect of the started compressor is improved, and the aim of rapid refrigeration is fulfilled. In other words, the method cancels the process of continuously running on the oil return frequency in the frequency rising process of the compressor, and adopts the mode of opening the outer fan in advance for heat dissipation, adjusting the opening degree of the expansion valve to the reference opening degree and controlling the frequency rising speed of the compressor, so that the normal oil return of the compressor is ensured, the rapid frequency rising of the compressor can be completed, the problem of poor rapid refrigeration effect caused by long frequency rising time in the conventional starting frequency rising control method is solved, the comfort of the air conditioner is improved, and the user experience is improved.
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.
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 in the cooling mode of the present invention with that of 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 compressor 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 quick refrigeration cannot be well met.
With continued reference to FIG. 2, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a continuous compressor ramp-up is possibleThe frequency process is divided into two stages, wherein the first stage compressor is 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, S400 may further include the following steps:
s410, enabling the compressor to follow 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;
s420, 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
S430, 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 quick refrigeration 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 advantages of the above arrangement are: 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 f1Varying the rate of raising the frequency, i.e.The frequency raising is carried out in two stages of raising frequency speed with high speed before low speed, so that the compressor is 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 V2The frequency is increased, the lubricating oil flowing out of the compressor is greatly reduced, the speed/speed of the lubricating oil discharged out of the compressor is smaller than the oil return speed/speed of the oil return capillary tube, and the lubricating oil quantity in the compressor is further ensured. That is to say, 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 quick refrigeration of users. 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 setting manner 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 also 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 increasing 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:
s700, acquiring environmental parameters, such as current environmental temperature (such as indoor temperature);
s800, when the environmental parameter reaches/approaches the target parameter, reducing the frequency of the compressor to a second target frequency, simultaneously reducing the rotating speed of the outer fan to the second target rotating speed, and reducing the opening degree of the expansion valve to the second target opening degree, for example, when the indoor temperature reaches the target temperature set by a user or approaches the target temperature, reducing the frequency of the compressor to a rated working frequency or a working frequency matched with the external environmental temperature, simultaneously reducing the rotating speed of the outer fan to the rated working rotating speed or the working rotating speed matched with the compressor, and reducing the opening degree of the expansion valve to an opening degree matched with the current working frequency of the compressor.
The advantages of this arrangement are: after the air conditioner is rapidly cooled for a period of time, the indoor temperature is correspondingly reduced, when the ambient temperature reaches/approaches the temperature set by a user, the compressor does not need to continuously work 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 degree matched with the compressor. At this time, the compressor is reduced to the rated working frequency or the working frequency more matched with the current environment (such as outdoor temperature), the rotating speed of the outer fan is reduced to the rated working rotating speed or the rotating speed matched with the compressor, and the opening degree of the expansion valve is reduced to the opening degree matched with the compressor, so that the normal work of the air conditioner can be ensured, and the working life of the compressor, the outer fan and the expansion valve can be effectively prolonged.
Of course, the environmental parameter and the corresponding target parameter are not all the same, but may be environmental humidity (such as indoor/outdoor humidity), target humidity set by the user, and the like.
The invention also provides a control system of the air conditioner in the refrigeration mode, which mainly comprises:
the first control module is used for starting an external fan of the air conditioner and accelerating to a first target rotating speed according to a set acceleration, and after the air conditioner is started and cooled, the first control module enables the external fan to accelerate to a maximum working rotating speed according to the set acceleration;
a second control module for reducing an opening degree of an expansion valve of the air conditioner to a reference opening degree according to a set valve closing speed while, before or after the external fan starts to increase the speed, and increasing the expansion valve to a first target opening degree according to a set valve opening speed when the opening degree of the expansion valve reaches the reference opening degree;
the third control module is used for starting the compressor when the external fan reaches the first target rotating speed and/or the expansion valve reaches the reference opening degree, continuously increasing the frequency of the compressor in stages according to a plurality of increasing frequency speeds, and stopping increasing the frequency of the compressor when the frequency of the compressor reaches the first target frequency;
and the judging module is used for judging whether the outer fan reaches a first target rotating speed, whether the opening degree of the expansion valve reaches a reference opening degree and whether the compressor reaches a first target frequency.
Wherein the third control module continuously boosts the frequency of the compressor in stages at a plurality of boost speeds in the following manner:
the third control module makes the compressor at the first frequency raising speed V1Performing frequency boosting;
