The components shown in fig. 1 may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination thereof.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flow chart illustrating a method for detecting an abnormal connection of a pipeline according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method for detecting abnormal pipeline connection includes steps 110 to 130.
Step 110: after the multi-split air conditioner operates in the current operation mode for a first preset time, the temperature of the inner pipe of each indoor unit is obtained within a preset sampling time period.
After the multi-connected air-conditioning system is started to operate for a first preset time, the temperature of an inner pipe of each indoor unit is obtained at regular time intervals in a preset time period, wherein the temperature of the inner pipe comprises an inlet pipe temperature, a middle pipe temperature and an outlet pipe temperature, and the average temperature is obtained as a sampling value.
The first preset time can be set to be 8-15 minutes, after the air conditioner runs for 8-15 minutes, the state is basically stable, the preset time period can be set to be 1-2 minutes, in the preset time period, for example, the pipe inlet temperature, the middle pipe temperature and the pipe outlet temperature are obtained every 10-20 seconds, and the average values of the pipe inlet temperature, the middle pipe temperature and the pipe outlet temperature are respectively obtained to serve as sampling values of the pipe inlet temperature, the middle pipe temperature and the pipe outlet temperature in the time period.
Step 120: and determining an abnormal indoor unit in the indoor unit according to the inlet pipe temperature, the middle pipe temperature and the outlet pipe temperature of the indoor unit.
If the pipeline connection of the multi-split air conditioner is normal, the pipe inlet temperature, the middle pipe temperature and the pipe outlet temperature of the indoor unit meet a specific size relationship, for example, in a refrigeration mode, the pipe outlet temperature is higher than the middle pipe temperature, and the temperature difference between the middle pipe temperature and the pipe inlet temperature and the temperature difference between the pipe outlet temperature and the pipe inlet temperature both meet certain conditions. In the detection process, whether the air conditioner is abnormal or not can be determined according to whether the inlet pipe temperature, the middle pipe temperature and the outlet pipe temperature of the indoor unit meet preset conditions or not, and the abnormal indoor unit can be determined from all the indoor units.
Step 130: and judging whether the temperature difference between any two of the inlet pipe temperature, the middle pipe temperature and the outlet pipe temperature of the abnormal indoor unit meets a second preset condition so as to determine whether the pipeline connection of the abnormal indoor unit is abnormal.
And when the abnormal indoor unit is determined, determining whether the pipeline connection of the abnormal indoor unit is abnormal according to the temperature difference between any two of the inlet pipe temperature, the middle pipe temperature and the outlet pipe temperature of the abnormal indoor unit. It can understand, when the pipe connection of indoor set is unusual after, for example, same indoor set has connected 2 trachea or 2 liquid pipes simultaneously, leads to the refrigerant can't form complete circulation, and the indoor set can't carry out normal heat exchange, and the coil pipe temperature difference everywhere of indoor set this moment is less, therefore, according to whether the difference in temperature between arbitrary two in judging into tub temperature, well pipe temperature and the exit tube temperature satisfies the second and predetermine the condition and can confirm that the pipeline of unusual indoor set is connected unusually. If the abnormal connection of the pipeline of the abnormal indoor unit is determined, corresponding alarm can be given, for example, warning information can be displayed, or corresponding light can be flickered.
The invention provides a pipeline connection abnormity detection method, which comprises the steps of obtaining the inlet pipe temperature, the middle pipe temperature and the outlet pipe temperature of each indoor unit after a multi-split air conditioner runs for a first preset time, determining an abnormal indoor unit in the indoor unit according to the abnormity of the inlet pipe temperature, the middle pipe temperature and the outlet pipe temperature, determining whether the pipeline connection of the abnormal indoor unit is abnormal according to the temperature difference of the inlet pipe temperature, the middle pipe temperature and the outlet pipe temperature, determining whether the gas-liquid circulation in a pipeline is abnormal according to the temperature difference of the inlet pipe temperature, the outlet pipe temperature and the middle pipe temperature when the pipeline connection is determined to be abnormal, further identifying the abnormal type of the pipeline connection, and solving the problems of untimely identification of wrong matching of gas and liquid pipes, difficult later-stage inspection and the like in the prior art.
In a possible implementation manner, besides determining the abnormal pipe connection of the abnormal indoor unit, it is also necessary to determine or judge the specific abnormal type of the pipe connection of the abnormal indoor unit, referring to fig. 4 on the basis of fig. 3, this embodiment further provides another method for detecting the abnormal pipe connection, where the method further includes:
step 140: when the abnormal indoor unit pipeline connection is determined to be abnormal, the inlet pipe temperature, the middle pipe temperature and the outlet pipe temperature of the abnormal indoor unit are compared with the temperature threshold value, so that the abnormal type of the abnormal indoor unit is determined.
The abnormal type of the abnormal indoor unit comprises the following steps: the abnormal indoor unit is connected with two air pipes or the abnormal indoor unit is connected with two liquid pipes.
When the multi-split air conditioner works in a cooling mode, if the pipeline connection of the indoor unit is abnormal, for example, when the indoor unit is simultaneously connected with 2 liquid pipes, the indoor unit continuously stores liquid because the system cannot normally circulate, so that the inlet pipe temperature, the outlet pipe temperature and the middle pipe temperature of the indoor unit are continuously less than or equal to a first temperature threshold value. If the indoor unit is connected with 2 air pipes at the same time, the indoor unit only has a gas-liquid mixed refrigerant and does not flow, so that the inlet pipe temperature, the outlet pipe temperature and the middle pipe temperature are continuously higher than the second temperature threshold value.
Similarly, when the multi-split air conditioner works in the heating mode, if the indoor unit is connected with 2 liquid pipes at the same time, the air storage liquid of the indoor unit is mixed with the refrigerant due to the reverse circulation of the system, and the refrigerant does not flow, so that the inlet pipe temperature, the outlet pipe temperature and the middle pipe temperature are continuously smaller than the first temperature threshold value, and if the indoor unit is connected with 2 gas pipes at the same time, the indoor unit only has the gas-liquid mixed refrigerant and does not flow, so that the inlet pipe temperature, the outlet pipe temperature and the middle pipe temperature are continuously higher than the second temperature threshold value.
Therefore, the abnormal type of the abnormal indoor unit can be determined according to the inlet pipe temperature, the middle pipe temperature and the outlet pipe temperature. And if the inlet pipe temperature, the middle pipe temperature and the outlet pipe temperature are all smaller than or equal to the first temperature threshold value, determining that the abnormal type is that the abnormal indoor unit is connected with two liquid pipes at the same time. And if the inlet pipe temperature, the middle pipe temperature and the outlet pipe temperature are all larger than the second temperature threshold value, determining that the abnormal type is that the abnormal indoor unit is connected with two air pipes at the same time.
It can be understood that, in different operation modes, the value ranges of the first temperature threshold and the second temperature threshold are different, and in the cooling mode, the value range of the first temperature threshold is 5-10 ℃, and the value range of the second temperature threshold is 10-15 ℃. Under the heating mode, the value range of the first temperature threshold is 30-40 ℃, and the value range of the second temperature threshold is 40-50 ℃.
After the step of determining the abnormal type of the abnormal indoor unit, in order to reduce the influence of misjudgment, environmental factors, or the like on the detection result, after the step of determining the abnormal type, detection should be repeated to eliminate the influencing factors, referring to fig. 5 on the basis of fig. 4, the method for detecting the abnormal pipe connection further includes:
step 150: and switching the operation modes of the multi-split air conditioner to perform at least one repeated detection.
After the abnormal type is determined, the operation mode of the multi-split air conditioner is switched to perform at least one repeated detection, that is, at least 2 detections are required. And if the operation mode of the multi-split air conditioner is the cooling mode, detecting the system again after forcibly operating the heating mode, and if the operation mode of the multi-split air conditioner is not the heating mode, detecting the system again after forcibly operating the cooling mode. And if the repeated detection is carried out for at least one time, confirming the detection result and exiting the detection process.
In a possible implementation manner, if the pipeline connection of the multi-split air conditioner is normal, the pipe inlet temperature, the middle pipe temperature and the pipe outlet temperature of the indoor unit meet a specific size relationship, in the detection process, whether the air conditioner is abnormal or not can be determined according to whether the pipe inlet temperature, the middle pipe temperature and the pipe outlet temperature of the indoor unit meet preset conditions, and the abnormal indoor unit can be determined from all the indoor units. Referring to fig. 6, based on fig. 5, the another method for detecting abnormal pipe connection provided in this embodiment will be described in detail how to determine an abnormal indoor unit in the indoor unit according to an inlet pipe temperature, an intermediate pipe temperature, and an outlet pipe temperature of the indoor unit. Step 120 includes the following cases:
step 120-1: when the multi-split air conditioner works in a refrigeration mode, if the temperature of the inner pipe does not meet the following conditions: and if the middle pipe temperature is lower than the outlet pipe temperature, or the temperature difference between the middle pipe temperature and the inlet pipe temperature is within a third temperature threshold, or the temperature difference between the outlet pipe temperature and the inlet pipe temperature is higher than a fourth temperature threshold, determining that the indoor unit is an abnormal indoor unit.
It can be understood that, when the multi-split air conditioner operates normally, the middle pipe temperature of the indoor unit is necessarily less than the outlet pipe temperature, the temperature difference between the middle pipe temperature and the inlet pipe temperature is within 2 ℃, and the temperature difference between the outlet pipe temperature and the inlet pipe temperature is above 5 ℃, therefore, when the multi-split air conditioner operates in a refrigeration mode, if the inner pipe temperature does not satisfy that the middle pipe temperature is less than the outlet pipe temperature, or the temperature difference between the middle pipe temperature and the inlet pipe temperature is within a third temperature threshold, or the temperature difference between the outlet pipe temperature and the inlet pipe temperature is above a fourth temperature threshold, the indoor unit is determined to be an abnormal indoor unit. In one possible implementation, the third temperature threshold may be set to 2 ℃ and the fourth temperature threshold may be set to 5 ℃.
Step 120-2: when the multi-split air conditioner works in the heating mode, if the temperature of the inner pipe does not meet the following conditions: and if the inlet pipe temperature, the middle pipe temperature and the outlet pipe temperature are sequentially increased, or the difference value between the outlet pipe temperature and the middle pipe temperature is above a fifth temperature threshold value, or the difference value between the middle pipe temperature and the inlet pipe temperature is above a sixth temperature threshold value, determining that the indoor unit is an abnormal indoor unit.
Similarly, when the multi-split air conditioner works in the heating mode, if the temperature of the inner pipe does not meet the following conditions: and if the pipe inlet temperature, the middle pipe temperature and the pipe outlet temperature are sequentially increased, or the difference between the pipe outlet temperature and the middle pipe temperature is not met and is more than a fifth temperature threshold, or the difference between the middle pipe temperature and the pipe inlet temperature is not met and is more than a sixth temperature threshold, the indoor unit is determined to be an abnormal indoor unit. The fifth temperature threshold may be 5-15 ℃, and the sixth temperature threshold may be 3-8 ℃.
In a possible implementation manner, it is determined whether the temperature difference between any two of the inlet pipe temperature, the middle pipe temperature, and the outlet pipe temperature of the abnormal indoor unit satisfies a second preset condition to determine whether the pipe connection of the abnormal indoor unit is abnormal, referring to fig. 7, step 130 includes the following sub-steps:
step 130-1: judging whether the temperature difference between the pipe inlet temperature and the middle pipe temperature, the temperature difference between the middle pipe temperature and the pipe outlet temperature and the temperature difference between the pipe inlet temperature and the pipe outlet temperature meet a second preset condition or not; wherein, the second preset condition is less than or equal to the seventh temperature threshold.
If the temperature difference between any two of the inlet pipe temperature, the middle pipe temperature and the outlet pipe temperature is less than or equal to the seventh temperature threshold, in this embodiment, the seventh temperature threshold may be 0.5 to 3 ℃, which indicates that the temperatures of the indoor unit at various positions of the pipeline are close to each other, and the refrigerant in the pipeline cannot complete normal circulation. And if the temperature difference between any two of the inlet pipe temperature, the middle pipe temperature and the outlet pipe temperature is less than or equal to the seventh temperature threshold value, determining that the normal indoor unit pipeline connection is abnormal.
Step 130-2: and when the temperature difference between the inlet pipe temperature and the middle pipe temperature, the temperature difference between the middle pipe temperature and the outlet pipe temperature and the temperature difference between the inlet pipe temperature and the outlet pipe temperature meet the second preset condition, determining that the abnormal indoor unit is abnormal in pipeline connection.
If any one of the temperature difference between the inlet pipe temperature and the middle pipe temperature, the temperature difference between the middle pipe temperature and the outlet pipe temperature, and the temperature difference between the inlet pipe temperature and the outlet pipe temperature does not satisfy the second preset condition, the abnormal connection of the pipelines of the indoor unit cannot be determined, and repeated detection needs to be carried out for many times to avoid misjudgment or missing judgment.
In one possible implementation, step 130 further includes:
step 130-3: when any one of the temperature difference between the pipe inlet temperature and the middle pipe temperature, the temperature difference between the middle pipe temperature and the pipe outlet temperature and the temperature difference between the pipe inlet temperature and the pipe outlet temperature does not meet a second preset condition; and judging whether the detection times reach a detection time threshold value or not.
Step 130-4: and if the detection times reach the detection time threshold, determining that the multi-split air conditioner pipeline connection is abnormal.
In this embodiment, the detection time threshold may be set to 4 times, and if the pipeline abnormality of the abnormal indoor unit cannot be identified when the number of consecutive detections reaches 4 times, it is determined that there is no abnormality in the pipeline connection of the multi-split system.
Step 130-5: and if the detection times do not reach the detection time threshold, detecting again after the multi-split air conditioner operates for a second preset time, wherein the second preset time is longer than the first preset time.
And if the detection times do not reach the detection time threshold, detecting again after the multi-split air conditioner operates for a second preset time, wherein the second preset time is longer than the first preset time. In a possible implementation manner, if the abnormal type of the abnormal indoor unit cannot be identified, the operation time of the multi-split air conditioner is extended, for example, the second preset time may be 1-2 minutes more than the first preset time, and after the operation time is extended, the detection is performed again until the abnormal type is identified by detection, or the detection frequency reaches the detection frequency threshold.
