It will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and processes are not set forth in detail in order to avoid obscuring the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail. Thus, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed herein.
The embodiments of the present application provide an air conditioner outdoor unit chassis, a deicing method thereof, and an air conditioner, which are described in detail below.
Before introducing the method for deicing the chassis of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, first, an outdoor unit chassis of the air conditioner applied to the method for deicing the chassis of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is introduced, referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 shows a schematic view of a structure of the chassis of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the application, and the chassis of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner includes:
a chassis body 10, the chassis body 10 having a plurality of temperature measurement regions 111;
the plurality of heating devices 112 are arranged on the chassis body 10, and the plurality of heating devices 112 correspond to the plurality of preset temperature measuring areas 111 one by one;
and a plurality of temperature sensors 20, the plurality of temperature sensors 20 corresponding to the plurality of preset temperature measuring regions 111 one by one to detect the temperature of each temperature measuring region 111.
According to the ice removing control method and device, the plurality of temperature measuring areas 111 and the heating devices 112 corresponding to the temperature measuring areas 111 are arranged on the base plate body 10 of the base plate of the air conditioner outdoor unit, the temperature obtained by measuring the temperature of the temperature sensor 20 of each temperature measuring area 111 can be independently used for performing ice removing control on each temperature measuring area 111, and therefore the phenomenon of ice removing dead zones caused by the fact that the ice layer far away from a heat source cannot be melted by a single heating device 112 is effectively avoided.
Specifically, the base plate body 10 serves as a base plate at the bottom of the outdoor unit, and provides mounting support for internal devices (such as a fan, a condenser, etc.) of the outdoor unit, and at the same time, collects water melted by the condenser and discharges the water. The chassis body 10 has a plurality of preset temperature measuring regions 111, and the preset temperature measuring regions 111 may be arranged adjacently or at intervals, for example, as shown in fig. 1, the preset temperature measuring regions 111 are arranged adjacently and fully spread over the deicing regions 11 on the chassis body 10, so that all the deicing regions 11 can measure the temperature. In some embodiments, the plurality of preset temperature measuring regions 111 may also be arranged according to a certain rule, for example, in a rectangular shape and in a matrix shape, so as to regularize the plurality of preset temperature measuring regions 111 and ensure the reasonability of the temperature measuring regions 111. It is understood that the size of the plurality of preset temperature regions can be set according to the measurement range of the temperature sensor 20, for example, the size of a single temperature region can be set to be 10cmX cm, and meanwhile, the plurality of preset temperature measurement regions 111 can also partially overlap, for example, the single temperature measurement region 111 and other adjacent temperature measurement regions 111 have an overlapping portion with a width of 2 cm.
In order to ensure that the temperature of each preset temperature measuring area 111 can be controlled, a heating device 112 is disposed in each temperature measuring area 111, wherein the heating device 112 may be a device that heats by an electric heating method, such as a coated electric heating wire, an electric heating belt, an electric heating pipe, and the like. In some embodiments of the present application, the heating devices 112 corresponding to each temperature measurement region 111 may also be electrically interconnected to facilitate proper arrangement of the electrical circuit of each heating device 112. It is understood that the electric heating device 112 may also be a device using other heating methods, such as heating by a heat exchange medium (e.g., high-temperature water), an electromagnetic heating device, and the like.
Correspondingly, in order to facilitate temperature measurement of each preset temperature measuring region 111, each preset temperature measuring region is provided with a temperature sensor 20, and the temperature sensor 20 may be, for example, a thermocouple temperature sensor 20, a thermistor sensor, or the like. Generally, the temperature sensor 20 is disposed at the center of each temperature measuring region 111, and it is understood that the temperature sensor 20 may be disposed at other positions of each temperature measuring region 111, such as at the edge of the temperature measuring region 111.
Further, in order to facilitate the drainage of the ice and snow on the chassis body 10 after melting, in some embodiments of the present application, the chassis body 10 is further provided with a drainage area 12, wherein the drainage area 12 is adjacent to the deicing area 11, the deicing area 11 is an area formed by a plurality of temperature measurement areas 111, and the drainage area 12 is provided with at least one drainage opening 122, so that the ice and snow on the deicing area 11 flows out from the drainage opening 122 of the drainage area 12 after melting. Specifically, the shape of the drain region 12 is similar to the shape of a condenser projected on the base pan body 10 in the air conditioner outdoor unit, so that water drops after ice and snow attached to the condenser melt during heating in winter can directly enter the drainage area 12 and be drained.
In some embodiments of the present application, in order to prevent water in the drainage area 12 from condensing into ice and blocking the drainage opening 122, the drainage area 12 is provided with a normally open heating device 121, and the normally open heating device 121 is kept in an open state after the outdoor unit enters the deicing mode, so as to ensure that the drainage area 12 drains water smoothly. It can be understood that the normally open heating device 121 can be connected to the corresponding heating device 112 on the temperature measuring region 111, so as to realize the overall unification and easy control of all the heating devices 112 on the chassis body 10.
With reference to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart illustrating a method for deicing a chassis of an air conditioner outdoor unit according to an embodiment of the present application, where the method for deicing a chassis of an air conditioner outdoor unit includes:
step S201, dividing a chassis of an air conditioner outdoor unit into a plurality of temperature measuring areas 111, and arranging a plurality of heating devices 112 corresponding to each temperature measuring area 111 on the chassis of the air conditioner outdoor unit;
the plurality of temperature measurement areas 111 on the chassis of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner may be arranged adjacently or at intervals, for example, as shown in fig. 1, a plurality of preset temperature measurement areas 111 are adjacently paved on the deicing areas 11 on the chassis body 10, so that all the deicing areas 11 can perform temperature measurement. In some embodiments, the plurality of preset temperature measuring regions 111 may also be arranged according to a certain rule, for example, in a rectangular shape and in a matrix shape, so as to regularize the plurality of preset temperature measuring regions 111 and ensure the reasonability of the temperature measuring regions 111.
The heating device 112 disposed in each temperature measuring region 111 may be a film-coated electric heating wire, an electric heating belt, an electric heating pipe, or the like that performs heating by electric heating. In some embodiments of the present application, the heating devices 112 corresponding to each temperature measurement region 111 may also be electrically interconnected to facilitate proper arrangement of the electrical circuit of each heating device 112. It is understood that the heating device 112 may also be a device with other heating methods, such as a heat exchange medium (e.g., high-temperature water) heating device, an electromagnetic heating device, and the like.
Step S202, acquiring the temperature corresponding to each temperature measurement area 111 of the air conditioner outdoor unit chassis and the external environment temperature;
specifically, the temperature corresponding to each temperature measurement area 111 may be measured by the temperature sensor 20 of each temperature measurement area 111, and the temperature of the external environment may be measured by the temperature sensor 20 disposed on the outdoor unit of the air conditioner and directly contacting with the outside. However, the inventors have found that if the temperature measurement region 111 is covered with ice and snow, the temperature measured by the temperature measurement region 111 is lower than the external environment temperature, and the temperature difference is generally about 3 ℃.
Step S203, calculating the temperature difference between the temperature corresponding to each temperature measurement area 111 and the external environment temperature;
after the temperature corresponding to the temperature measurement area 111 and the external environment temperature are measured, the temperature difference between the temperature corresponding to each temperature measurement area 111 and the external environment temperature may be compared and the temperature difference may be calculated, so as to determine whether each temperature measurement area 111 is covered by ice and snow.
Step S204, determining areas to be deiced according to the temperature difference between the temperature corresponding to each temperature measurement area 111 and the external environment temperature, wherein the areas to be deiced comprise at least one temperature measurement area 111;
after the temperature difference between each temperature measurement area 111 and the external environment is obtained through calculation, the area to be deiced can be determined according to the temperature difference between the temperature corresponding to each temperature measurement area 111 and the external environment temperature. As an example, the temperature measuring region 111 corresponding to a temperature difference greater than a preset threshold (e.g., 3 ℃) may be screened as a region to be deiced, so that the temperature measuring region 111 covered by ice and snow is directly used as the region to be deiced, and the purpose of deicing the ice and snow covered region is achieved.
In some embodiments, the inventors have found that, since the ice and snow cover a thick central region, a large temperature difference is caused in the central region, and a small temperature difference is caused in the edge region, when the ice and snow cover the edge region, it is misjudged that the ice and snow cover the edge region, and the ice and snow do not detach, and in this case, the ice and snow cover region in the center is melted, and then easily condenses again in the edge region, and incomplete ice detachment occurs when ice detachment is selected regionally. In view of the above, the inventor further proposes another embodiment of determining the region to be deiced according to the temperature difference between the temperature corresponding to each temperature measurement region 111 and the external environment temperature, please refer to the following contents:
in another embodiment, the plurality of temperature measurement areas 111 are arranged in a matrix, and the step of determining the temperature difference between the temperature corresponding to each temperature measurement area 111 and the external environment temperature includes:
inserting a plurality of temperature differences into a preset matrix to form a temperature difference matrix, wherein each temperature difference arrangement position in the temperature difference matrix corresponds to each temperature measurement area 111 arrangement position on a chassis of the air conditioner outdoor unit one by one;
and determining an area to be deiced according to the temperature difference matrix.
In the above embodiment of determining the to-be-deiced area, since the plurality of temperature measurement areas 111 are arranged in a matrix, the temperature difference corresponding to each temperature measurement area 111 forms a temperature difference matrix corresponding to the temperature measurement area 111 matrix, and then the plurality of temperature measurement areas 111 are converted into temperature difference fields for digital processing, which is beneficial to determining the to-be-deiced area according to the temperature difference fields displayed by the temperature difference matrices.
As an example, the central area and the edge area of each ice and snow covered area may be determined according to the gradient of the temperature difference in the temperature difference matrix, so that the shape of each ice and snow covered area and the heating device 112 that should be turned on may be determined according to the temperature difference matrix, and the purpose of precisely deicing the center and the edge of each ice and snow covered area may be achieved.
As another example, referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 shows a schematic flowchart of a method for determining an area to be deiced according to a temperature difference matrix in an embodiment of the present application, where the step of determining the area to be deiced according to the temperature difference matrix includes:
step S301, calculating a temperature difference mean value of any adjacent temperature differences in a temperature difference matrix, wherein temperature measuring areas 111 corresponding to any adjacent temperature differences are adjacent;
specifically, the temperature difference mean value is an average value of temperature differences between the adjacent temperature measurement areas 111 and the external environment, since the ice and snow cover the central area thickly, the temperature difference corresponding to the central area is large, the temperature difference corresponding to the edge area is small, and the temperature difference mean value corresponding to the ice and snow cover area can be larger than a preset threshold, the shape of each ice and snow cover area and the heating device 112 to be turned on can also be determined by calculating the temperature difference mean value, so that the purpose of accurately deicing the center and the edge of each ice and snow cover area is achieved.
As an example, as shown in fig. 4, fig. 4 shows an example graph of calculating a mean temperature difference value in the embodiment of the present application, where the mean temperature difference value may be calculated by calculating a mean temperature difference value for two adjacent temperature differences in a temperature difference matrix, so as to determine an ice and snow covered area that is in a same row and adjacent to the temperature measuring area 111.
As another example, as shown in fig. 5, fig. 5 shows another exemplary diagram for calculating a mean temperature difference value in the embodiment of the present application, where the mean temperature difference value may be calculated by calculating a mean temperature difference value for two adjacent temperature differences in a temperature difference matrix, so as to determine an ice and snow covered area that is in a same column and adjacent to the temperature measuring area 111.
As another example, as shown in fig. 6, fig. 6 shows another example graph of calculating a mean temperature difference value in the embodiment of the present application, where the mean temperature difference value may be calculated by calculating a mean temperature difference value for four adjacent temperature differences in a temperature difference matrix, and then may determine the ice and snow covered areas adjacent to the rows and columns of the four temperature measurement areas 111.
It will be appreciated that the above-mentioned mean value of the calculated temperature difference may also be calculated by other numbers of adjacent temperature differences, for example, three, five, six or eight temperature differences adjacent to each other in rows and/or columns of the temperature difference matrix.
Step S302, taking a temperature difference mean value greater than or equal to a preset threshold as a target temperature difference mean value, and determining that the adjacent temperature measurement area 111 corresponding to the target temperature difference mean value is an area to be deiced.
After the temperature difference average value is obtained through calculation, if the temperature difference average value is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value (for example, 3 ℃), the temperature difference average value may be used as a target temperature difference average value reflecting an ice and snow covered area, and an adjacent temperature measurement area 111 corresponding to the target temperature difference average value is an area to be deiced. It can be understood that the number of the statistical adjacent temperature measurement areas 111 can be sequentially increased when the mean temperature difference value is calculated, so that the judgment can be performed on the ice and snow coverage areas with different sizes.
Step S205, controlling the heating device 112 corresponding to the region to be deiced to start to deice the air conditioner outdoor unit chassis.
