In the system architecture platform 100 shown in fig. 1, the processor 110 may be configured to invoke a control program of an air conditioner stored in the memory 120, thereby implementing a control method of the air conditioner.
Based on the hardware structure of the system architecture platform 100, various embodiments of the air conditioner of the present invention are presented.
As shown in fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Specifically, the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the invention includes, but is not limited to, an outdoor unit including, but not limited to, a compressor 210 and an outdoor heat exchanger 220, and an indoor unit including, but not limited to, a throttle device 230, an indoor heat exchanger 240 and an indoor fan 250, where the compressor 210, the outdoor heat exchanger 220, the throttle device 230 and the indoor heat exchanger 240 together form a refrigerant circuit.
The outdoor heat exchanger 220 is a condenser, the indoor heat exchanger 240 is an evaporator, and the throttle device 230 may be an electronic expansion valve having a plurality of opening degree adjusting functions.
It will be appreciated that the air conditioner of the embodiment of the present invention may communicate with the controller such that the controller may control the opening degree of the throttle device 230 and the rotational speed of the indoor fan 250 in the indoor unit, as well as the operation frequency of the compressor 210 in the outdoor unit.
In addition, it is understood that with respect to the structure of the controller described above, the processor 110 and the memory 120 as shown in fig. 1 may be included.
In addition, it is understood that the installation position of the controller may be combined with the air conditioner or may be independently arranged outside the air conditioner.
Based on the above-described hardware structures of the system architecture platform 100 and the air conditioner, various embodiments of the control method of the air conditioner of the present invention are presented.
As shown in fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart of a control method of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. The control method includes, but is not limited to, step S100, step S200, step S300, and step S400.
Step S100, in a dehumidification mode, acquiring a current temperature and target temperature interval of the indoor heat exchanger, an opening adjustment interval of the throttling device and a current opening.
It should be noted that, the current temperature of the indoor heat exchanger mentioned above is used to represent the current refrigerant temperature in the evaporator, and may refer to the temperature of the middle part of the evaporator or the temperature of other positions; when the current temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is the temperature of the middle part of the evaporator, the temperature is used for representing the temperature of the refrigerant at the middle position of the length of the evaporation main pipe in the evaporator.
It should be noted that the above-mentioned target temperature interval may refer to a temperature interval in which the indoor heat exchanger has a relatively good dehumidification effect in the dehumidification mode. The method for acquiring the target temperature interval may be to acquire a pre-stored temperature interval from a local memory as the target temperature interval, or may acquire a temperature interval input by a user as the target temperature interval.
It can be appreciated that the embodiment of the invention can acquire the current temperature of the indoor heat exchanger in real time by arranging the temperature sensor on the surface of the evaporator, such as the middle position of the evaporator.
It can be understood that the temperature sensor in the embodiment of the invention can be a contact temperature sensor or a non-contact temperature sensor; in addition, the temperature sensor in the embodiment of the present invention may be an infrared temperature sensor or other types of temperature sensors, and the type of the temperature sensor is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
In addition, it should be noted that, the valve opening of the throttling device according to the embodiment of the present invention may be controlled by a stepper motor, so the air conditioner may obtain the current opening of the throttling device through the current control state of the stepper motor, and the air conditioner may also obtain the opening adjustment interval of the throttling device through the allowable control state of the stepper motor, such as the allowable rotation angle.
It is understood that the above-mentioned opening adjustment section refers to a section in which the throttle device is movable, and the throttle device can be adjusted only in the opening adjustment section and cannot be adjusted outside the opening adjustment section.
Step S200, determining a first target opening degree of the throttling device according to the current temperature, the target temperature interval and the current opening degree.
Specifically, the target temperature interval in the embodiment of the invention may refer to a temperature interval in which the indoor heat exchanger has a relatively good dehumidification effect in a dehumidification mode. If the current temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is in the target temperature interval, the current dehumidification effect is good, and the air conditioner can not be regulated at the moment; if the current temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is outside the target temperature interval, the current dehumidification effect is poor, and the air conditioner needs to be adjusted at the moment.
It should be noted that, in the case that the current temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is located outside the target temperature interval, in order to improve the dehumidification effect, in the embodiment of the present invention, the opening degree variation is calculated according to the current temperature and the target temperature interval, where if the throttle device adjusts the opening degree variation, the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger falls into the target temperature interval, then the dehumidification effect of the air conditioner is improved.
After the opening degree variation is calculated according to the current temperature and the target temperature interval, the embodiment of the invention also calculates the current opening degree and the opening degree variation to obtain the first target opening degree which needs to be reached by the throttling device.
It is understood that when the opening degree variation amount is an increase amount, the first target opening degree is larger than the current opening degree; when the opening amount variation is a decrease amount, the first target opening amount is smaller than the current opening amount.
Step S300, when the first target opening is located in the opening adjustment section, the opening of the throttle device is adjusted to the first target opening.
Specifically, after determining the first target opening of the throttling device, the embodiment of the present invention further needs to determine whether the first target opening falls within the opening adjustment interval of the throttling device. If the first target opening is located in the opening adjustment interval, it indicates that the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger can fall into the target temperature interval by adjusting the opening of the throttling device to the first target opening.
Step S400, when the first target opening is located outside the opening adjustment interval, determining a second target opening of the throttling device, determining a target rotating speed of the indoor fan and/or a target operating frequency of the compressor, adjusting the opening of the throttling device to the second target opening, and adjusting the rotating speed of the indoor fan to the target rotating speed and/or the operating frequency of the compressor to the target operating frequency, wherein the second target opening is located in the opening adjustment interval.
Specifically, after determining the first target opening of the throttling device, the embodiment of the present invention further needs to determine whether the first target opening falls within the opening adjustment interval of the throttling device. If the first target opening is not located in the opening adjustment interval, it indicates that the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger cannot fall into the target temperature interval even if the opening of the throttling device is adjusted to the opening interval upper limit value or the opening interval lower limit value of the opening adjustment interval, that is, the opening of the throttling device is adjusted to the maximum opening or the minimum opening.
In order to reduce the frequency adjustment range of the compressor, the embodiment of the present invention may first adjust the opening of the throttling device to the opening interval upper limit value or the opening interval lower limit value of the opening adjustment interval, that is, adjust the opening of the throttling device to the allowable maximum opening or the allowable minimum opening, and then adjust the frequency of the compressor, so as to reduce the problems of poor dehumidification effect or increased energy consumption caused by the excessive frequency adjustment range of the compressor.
Based on the above steps S100 to S400, according to the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, in order to realize the temperature adjustment of the indoor heat exchanger in the dehumidification mode, the embodiment of the present invention does not directly adjust the operation frequency of the compressor, but preferentially adjusts the opening of the throttling device. Specifically, firstly, the embodiment of the invention obtains the current temperature of the indoor heat exchanger, the opening adjustment interval of the throttling device and the current opening, and then determines the first target opening of the throttling device according to the current temperature, the target temperature interval and the current opening; if the first target opening is located in the opening adjustment interval, namely that the embodiment of the invention can meet the temperature adjustment of the indoor heat exchanger only by adjusting the opening of the throttling device, the embodiment of the invention can adjust the opening of the throttling device to the first target opening without adjusting the running frequency of the compressor; if the first target opening is located outside the opening adjustment interval, that is, it indicates that the embodiment of the invention needs to adjust the rotation speed of the indoor fan and/or the operation frequency of the compressor in addition to the opening of the throttling device to meet the temperature adjustment of the indoor heat exchanger, then the embodiment of the invention can preferentially adjust the opening of the throttling device to the second target opening, and also can properly adjust the rotation speed of the indoor fan to the target rotation speed and/or adjust the operation frequency of the compressor to the target operation frequency. Therefore, when the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger needs to be increased in the dehumidification mode, the opening degree of the throttling device can be adjusted first, and when the temperature cannot be met, the rotating speed of the indoor fan is adjusted and/or the compressor is subjected to frequency reduction, so that the problem that the dehumidification effect is poor due to direct frequency reduction of the compressor can be avoided; in addition, when the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger needs to be reduced in the dehumidification mode, the opening degree of the throttling device can be adjusted first, and when the temperature cannot be met, the rotating speed of the indoor fan is adjusted and/or the compressor is increased, so that the problem of energy consumption increase caused by directly increasing the frequency of the compressor can be avoided.
It should be noted that, regarding the adjustment of the rotation speed of the indoor fan to the target rotation speed and/or the adjustment of the operation frequency of the compressor to the target operation frequency in the step S400, two implementation cases in fig. 4 or fig. 5 may be specifically included, which are specifically shown as follows:
as shown in fig. 4, fig. 4 is a flowchart of a control method of an air conditioner according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the case of adjusting the rotational speed of the indoor fan to the target rotational speed and the operating frequency of the compressor to the target operating frequency, steps S410 and S420 are included, but are not limited thereto, with respect to adjusting the rotational speed of the indoor fan to the target rotational speed and the operating frequency of the compressor to the target operating frequency in step S400 described above.
Step S410, when the second target opening is larger than the current opening, acquiring a rotating speed adjusting interval of the indoor fan;
and S420, adjusting the rotating speed of the indoor fan to the rotating speed interval upper limit value of the rotating speed adjusting interval, and adjusting the operating frequency of the compressor to the target operating frequency.
Specifically, if the embodiment of the invention still cannot enable the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger to fall into the target temperature interval after increasing the opening of the throttling device, for example, after adjusting the opening of the throttling device to the upper limit value of the opening interval, then the embodiment of the invention can preferentially adjust the rotating speed of the indoor fan to the upper limit value of the rotating speed interval of the rotating speed adjusting interval, and if the rotating speed of the indoor fan is raised to the maximum rotating speed, then the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger cannot fall into the target temperature interval, then the embodiment of the invention can adjust the operating frequency of the compressor, so that the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger falls into the target temperature interval.
Therefore, according to the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, in order to realize the temperature regulation of the indoor heat exchanger in the dehumidification mode, the embodiment of the invention does not directly regulate the operation frequency of the compressor, but preferentially regulates the opening degree of the throttling device, then regulates the rotation speed of the indoor fan, and finally regulates the operation frequency of the compressor, so that the embodiment of the invention can avoid the problem of poor dehumidification effect caused by direct frequency reduction of the compressor.
As shown in fig. 5, fig. 5 is a flowchart of a control method of an air conditioner according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the case of adjusting the rotational speed of the indoor fan to the target rotational speed and the operating frequency of the compressor to the target operating frequency, steps S430 and S440 are included, but are not limited to, regarding the adjustment of the rotational speed of the indoor fan to the target rotational speed and the adjustment of the operating frequency of the compressor to the target operating frequency in step S400 described above.
Step S430, when the second target opening is smaller than the current opening, acquiring a rotating speed adjusting interval of the indoor fan;
step S440, the rotating speed of the indoor fan is adjusted to the lower limit value of the rotating speed interval of the rotating speed adjusting interval, and then the operating frequency of the compressor is adjusted to the target operating frequency.
Specifically, if the opening degree of the throttling device is reduced, for example, the opening degree of the throttling device is adjusted to the lower limit value of the opening degree interval, and then the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger still cannot fall into the target temperature interval, the embodiment of the invention can preferentially adjust the rotating speed of the indoor fan, adjust the rotating speed of the indoor fan to the lower limit value of the rotating speed interval of the rotating speed adjusting interval, and if the rotating speed of the indoor fan is reduced to the minimum rotating speed, the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger still cannot fall into the target temperature interval, the embodiment of the invention can adjust the operating frequency of the compressor, so that the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger falls into the target temperature interval.
Therefore, according to the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, in order to realize the temperature adjustment of the indoor heat exchanger in the dehumidification mode, the embodiment of the invention does not directly adjust the operation frequency of the compressor, but preferentially adjusts the opening of the throttling device, then adjusts the rotating speed of the indoor fan, and finally adjusts the operation frequency of the compressor, so that the embodiment of the invention can avoid the problem of energy consumption increase caused by directly raising the frequency of the compressor.
In addition, as shown in fig. 6, fig. 6 is a flowchart of a control method of an air conditioner according to another embodiment of the present invention. Wherein, the target temperature interval is provided with a temperature interval lower limit value; regarding the determination of the first target opening degree of the throttle device according to the current temperature, the target temperature zone and the current opening degree in the above-described step S200, there are included, but not limited to, the steps S210 and S220.
Step S210, determining the opening degree increasing amount of the throttling device under the condition that the current temperature is less than or equal to the lower limit value of the temperature interval;
step S220, determining a first target opening degree of the throttle device according to the current opening degree and the opening degree increase amount.
Specifically, the target temperature interval in the embodiment of the present invention is provided with a temperature interval lower limit value, when the current temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is less than or equal to the temperature interval lower limit value, it indicates that the current dehumidification effect is poor, for example, the indoor heat exchanger generates frost to cause poor dehumidification effect, and at this time, the air conditioner needs to be adjusted.
It should be noted that, in the case that the current temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is less than or equal to the lower limit value of the temperature interval, the embodiment of the invention calculates the opening increase according to the current temperature and the target temperature interval, where if the throttle device adjusts the opening increase, the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger can fall into the target temperature interval, so that the dehumidifying effect of the air conditioner can be improved.
After the opening increasing amount is calculated according to the current temperature and the target temperature interval, the embodiment of the invention also calculates the current opening and the opening increasing amount to obtain the first target opening which needs to be reached by the throttling device.
In addition, as shown in fig. 7, fig. 7 is a flowchart of a control method of an air conditioner according to another embodiment of the present invention. Based on the case of the step shown in fig. 6 described above, step S450 is included in relation to the adjustment of the opening degree of the throttle device to the second target opening degree in step S400 described above.
Step S450, the opening degree of the throttle device is adjusted to the opening degree section upper limit value.
Specifically, when the current temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is less than or equal to the temperature interval lower limit value, the second target opening degree in the above step S400 corresponds to the opening degree interval upper limit value.
In addition, as shown in fig. 8, fig. 8 is a flowchart of a control method of an air conditioner according to another embodiment of the present invention. Wherein, the target temperature interval is provided with a temperature interval upper limit value; the first target opening degree of the throttle device is determined according to the current temperature, the target temperature zone and the current opening degree in the above step S200, including but not limited to steps S230 and S240.
Step S230, determining the opening degree reduction amount of the throttling device under the condition that the current temperature is greater than the upper limit value of the temperature interval;
step S240, determining a first target opening degree of the throttle device according to the current opening degree and the opening degree reduction amount.
Specifically, the target temperature interval in the embodiment of the present invention is provided with a temperature interval upper limit value, when the current temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is greater than the temperature interval upper limit value, it indicates that the current dehumidification effect is poor, for example, the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger approaches the dew point temperature, so that the dehumidification effect is poor, and at this time, the air conditioner needs to be adjusted.
It should be noted that, in the case that the current temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is greater than the upper limit value of the temperature interval, the embodiment of the invention calculates the opening degree reduction according to the current temperature and the target temperature interval, where if the throttle device adjusts the opening degree reduction, the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger can fall into the target temperature interval, and then the dehumidifying effect of the air conditioner can be improved.
After the opening degree reduction is calculated according to the current temperature and the target temperature interval, the embodiment of the invention also calculates the current opening degree and the opening degree reduction to obtain the first target opening degree which needs to be reached by the throttling device.
In addition, as shown in fig. 9, fig. 9 is a flowchart of a control method of an air conditioner according to another embodiment of the present invention. Based on the case of the step shown in fig. 8 described above, step S460 is included, but not limited to, regarding the adjustment of the opening degree of the throttle device to the second target opening degree in step S400 described above.
Step S460, the opening degree of the throttle device is adjusted to the opening degree section lower limit value.
Specifically, when the current temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is greater than the upper limit value of the temperature interval, the second target opening degree in the above step S400 corresponds to the lower limit value of the opening degree interval.
In addition, as shown in fig. 10, fig. 10 is a flowchart of a control method of an air conditioner according to another embodiment of the present invention. The upper limit value of the temperature range in fig. 8 can be obtained by, but not limited to, step S510 and step S520.

and step S520, carrying out difference processing on the dew point temperature and a preset deviation value to obtain the upper limit value of the temperature interval.
Specifically, the above-mentioned upper limit value of the temperature zone refers to a temperature value near the dew point temperature, and when the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger approaches the dew point temperature, the dehumidifying effect thereof is deteriorated. Therefore, the embodiment of the invention can acquire the dew point temperature and the preset deviation value, and then perform difference processing on the dew point temperature and the preset deviation value to obtain the upper limit value of the temperature interval, wherein the upper limit value of the temperature interval can be slightly smaller than the dew point temperature or larger than the dew point temperature; if the current temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is greater than the upper limit value of the temperature interval, the dehumidification effect is poor.
The preset deviation value mentioned above may be manually preset.
In addition, as shown in fig. 11, fig. 11 is a flowchart of a control method of an air conditioner according to another embodiment of the present invention. Regarding the first target opening degree of the throttle device determined according to the current temperature, the target temperature zone and the current opening degree in the above-described step S200, there is included, but not limited to, step S250.
Step S250, determining that the current opening is the first target opening of the throttling device when the current temperature is within the target temperature range.
Specifically, when the current temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is within the target temperature range, the current dehumidification effect is good, and the air conditioner does not need to be adjusted.
In addition, as shown in fig. 12, fig. 12 is a flowchart of a control method of an air conditioner according to another embodiment of the present invention. Regarding the determination of the first target opening degree of the throttle device according to the current temperature, the target temperature zone and the current opening degree in the above-described step S200, there are included, but not limited to, steps S610 and S620.

Specifically, the first preset temperature mentioned above may be zero or a low temperature close to zero, and thus, the embodiment of the present invention may perform the above-mentioned steps S200, S300 and S400 in a low temperature environment and with the current temperature less than the dew point temperature.
In addition, as shown in fig. 13, fig. 13 is a flowchart of a control method of an air conditioner according to another embodiment of the present invention. The control method according to the embodiment of the present invention further includes, but is not limited to, step S700.
Step S700, when the dew point temperature is greater than the first preset temperature and the current temperature is greater than or equal to the dew point temperature, the opening degree of the throttling device is reduced and/or the operation frequency of the compressor is increased.
Specifically, in the case where the low temperature environment and the current temperature is greater than or equal to the dew point temperature, it is indicated that the current temperature is high, it is necessary to reduce the opening degree of the throttle device, or to increase the operating frequency of the compressor, or to simultaneously reduce the opening degree of the throttle device and increase the operating frequency of the compressor.
In addition, as shown in fig. 14, fig. 14 is a flowchart of a control method of an air conditioner according to another embodiment of the present invention. The control method according to the embodiment of the present invention further includes, but is not limited to, step S800.

Specifically, in a low-temperature environment, for example, when the dew point temperature is zero or less than zero, in order to achieve the dehumidification effect, the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger in the embodiment of the invention needs to be less than the dew point temperature, that is, the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is less than zero, and at this time, the indoor heat exchanger can generate frosting phenomenon. Therefore, in order to solve the frosting situation, the embodiment of the invention can perform frosting treatment on the indoor heat exchanger when frosting is more, such as when the temperature is lower, and the frosting and frosting process is continuously circulated.
The defrosting process may be to turn off the compressor and start the indoor fan to defrost, or to switch to the heating mode to defrost, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present invention.
Based on the control method of the air conditioner in each of the above embodiments, the following respectively proposes the overall embodiments of the control method of the air conditioner of the present invention.
