由于空调器的室外机在结霜后,霜层会增加室外机的热阻,并导致室外空气流通面积减小、流动阻力增大,使得室外机的风量减小,进而导致室外机的热交换效果变差。因此,在空调器运行一段时间后,需要对其进行除霜。After the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is frosted, the frost layer will increase the thermal resistance of the outdoor unit, causing the outdoor air circulation area to decrease and the flow resistance to increase, resulting in a decrease in the air volume of the outdoor unit, which in turn leads to a loss of heat exchange in the outdoor unit. The effect becomes worse. Therefore, after the air conditioner has been running for a period of time, it needs to be defrosted.
目前的除霜方法主要有逆循环除霜、热气旁通除霜和相变蓄能除霜。当空调器采用逆循环除霜方法时,室内换热器作为蒸发器,会导致室内环境温度下降,影响空调器的制热效果。当空调器采用热气旁通除霜方法时,通过在压缩机的排气口设置一支旁通回路,可以将压缩机排出的高温气态冷媒引流至室外换热器内以实现除霜。但热气旁通除霜方法需要的时间较长,通常其时间为逆循环除霜时间的两倍以上。相变蓄能除霜方法是指在制热模式下通过蓄热器储存部分热量,并在除霜时释放出热量以进行除霜。但相变蓄能除霜会影响压缩机的散热,容易导致压缩机的排气温度过高,并且蓄热器的储能有限。The current defrosting methods mainly include reverse cycle defrost, hot gas bypass defrost and phase change energy storage defrost. When the air conditioner uses the reverse cycle defrosting method, the indoor heat exchanger acts as an evaporator, which will cause the indoor ambient temperature to drop and affect the heating effect of the air conditioner. When the air conditioner adopts the hot gas bypass defrosting method, by setting up a bypass loop at the exhaust port of the compressor, the high-temperature gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor can be directed to the outdoor heat exchanger to achieve defrosting. However, the hot gas bypass defrost method requires a longer time, usually more than twice the reverse cycle defrost time. The phase change energy storage defrost method refers to storing part of the heat through the heat accumulator in heating mode and releasing the heat for defrosting during defrosting. However, phase change energy storage defrost will affect the heat dissipation of the compressor, easily causing the compressor exhaust temperature to be too high, and the energy storage of the heat accumulator is limited.
通常,可以通过室外环境温度与室外换热器中的盘管温度之间的差值,确定是否对空调器进行除霜。然而,在一些场景下,例如,当室内温差增大、或者空调器由静音或低风模式变为高风模式,或者空调器由睡眠或静音模式转变为制热模式时,压缩机的运行频率突然上升,导致室外换热器的盘管温度下降,从而室外环境温度与室外换热器的盘管温度之差变大,空调器需要对室外换热器进行除霜。然而,此时的室外换热器上可能无霜或霜较少,空调器进行除霜将引起室内温度大幅波动,影响空调器的制热效果,且耗费能源。需要说明的是,在所述静音、低风、睡眠模式下,空调器中压缩机的运行频率较小。Generally, the difference between the outdoor ambient temperature and the coil temperature in the outdoor heat exchanger can be used to determine whether to defrost the air conditioner. However, in some scenarios, for example, when the indoor temperature difference increases, or the air conditioner changes from silent or low wind mode to high wind mode, or the air conditioner changes from sleep or silent mode to heating mode, the operating frequency of the compressor may change. The sudden rise causes the coil temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger to drop, so the difference between the outdoor ambient temperature and the coil temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger becomes larger, and the air conditioner needs to defrost the outdoor heat exchanger. However, there may be no or less frost on the outdoor heat exchanger at this time. Defrosting the air conditioner will cause large fluctuations in indoor temperature, affecting the heating effect of the air conditioner and consuming energy. It should be noted that in the silent, low wind, and sleep modes, the operating frequency of the compressor in the air conditioner is small.
例如,在所述静音模式下,空调器中的室内风机的转速和压缩机的运行频率较小,以降低空调器的噪音,实现静音效果。在睡眠模式下,通过逐渐降低设定温度以使室内环境温度逐渐下降,模拟夜间人体体温的自然调节过程,从而在提供舒适睡眠环境的情况下实 现节能效果。通常,低风模式用于室内环境温度已经满足需求但仍需要空气流动的情况,在所述低风模式下,空调器通过降低室内机的送风风量,以减少空气流动,从而实现节能效果。所述高风模式与所述低风模式对应,在所述高风模式下,空调器通过增大室内机的送风风量,以增强空气流动,从而使室内环境温度快速满足需求。For example, in the silent mode, the indoor fan speed and the operating frequency of the compressor in the air conditioner are smaller to reduce the noise of the air conditioner and achieve a silent effect. In sleep mode, the indoor ambient temperature gradually decreases by gradually lowering the set temperature, simulating the natural adjustment process of human body temperature at night, thereby achieving a comfortable sleeping environment. Energy saving effect is achieved. Generally, the low-wind mode is used when the indoor ambient temperature has met the demand but air flow is still needed. In the low-wind mode, the air conditioner reduces the air supply volume of the indoor unit to reduce air flow, thereby achieving energy saving effects. The high wind mode corresponds to the low wind mode. In the high wind mode, the air conditioner increases the air supply volume of the indoor unit to enhance air flow, so that the indoor ambient temperature quickly meets the demand.

The controller 40 is coupled to the second temperature sensor 103 and the third temperature sensor 104 to receive the temperature of the coil in the indoor heat exchanger 101 detected by the second temperature sensor 103 and the indoor ambient temperature detected by the third temperature sensor 104 .
下面以图3为例详细说明空调器1000的制冷模式、制热模式以及除霜模式。图3中,实线箭头表示空调器1000在制冷模式下的冷媒的流向,虚线箭头表示空调器1000在制热模式下的冷媒的流向。The cooling mode, heating mode and defrost mode of the air conditioner 1000 will be described in detail below using FIG. 3 as an example. In FIG. 3 , the solid arrows indicate the flow direction of the refrigerant when the air conditioner 1000 is in the cooling mode, and the dotted arrows indicate the flow direction of the refrigerant when the air conditioner 1000 is in the heating mode.
在空调器1000运行在制冷模式的情况下,冷媒依次流过压缩机201、四通阀205、室外换热器202、膨胀阀204、室内换热器101和压缩机201。室外换热器202作为冷凝器、室内换热器101作为蒸发器。冷凝器将其内部的冷媒的热量散发至室外空气中,蒸发器内的冷媒则吸收室内空气的热量以使室内温度降低,以对室内环境进行制冷。When the air conditioner 1000 operates in the cooling mode, the refrigerant flows through the compressor 201, the four-way valve 205, the outdoor heat exchanger 202, the expansion valve 204, the indoor heat exchanger 101 and the compressor 201 in sequence. The outdoor heat exchanger 202 serves as a condenser, and the indoor heat exchanger 101 serves as an evaporator. The condenser dissipates the heat of the refrigerant inside it to the outdoor air, and the refrigerant in the evaporator absorbs the heat of the indoor air to lower the indoor temperature to cool the indoor environment.

The condenser dissipates the heat of the refrigerant inside it to the indoor air to increase the indoor temperature to heat the indoor environment. The refrigerant in the evaporator absorbs heat from the outdoor air.
对于采用逆循环除霜方法进行除霜的空调器1000,在空调器1000运行在除霜模式的情况下,冷媒的流向与空调器1000在制冷模式下的冷媒的流向相同。For the air conditioner 1000 that adopts the reverse cycle defrosting method for defrosting, when the air conditioner 1000 operates in the defrost mode, the flow direction of the refrigerant is the same as the flow direction of the refrigerant when the air conditioner 1000 operates in the cooling mode.
下面详细描述本公开一些实施例中的控制器40的执行步骤。The execution steps of the controller 40 in some embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below.
图5为根据一些实施例的空调器中的控制器的一种流程图。Figure 5 is a flow chart of a controller in an air conditioner according to some embodiments.
在一些实施例中,如图5所示,控制器40被配置为执行步骤11至步骤14。In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5 , the controller 40 is configured to perform steps 11 to 14 .
在步骤11中,在空调器1000处于制热模式下,获取压缩机201的运行频率F。In step 11, when the air conditioner 1000 is in the heating mode, the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 is obtained.
例如,当控制器40接收到制热信号(如,遥控器30发出的信号)时,控制器40控制空调器1000中的对应部件的运行状态以进行制热。在此情况下,控制器40可以确定空调器1000处于制热模式。控制器40可通过电流或电压传感器获取压缩机201的电流或电压曲线,然后根据电流或电压曲线计算出压缩机201的运行频率F。当然,确定空调器1000 处于制热模式和获取压缩机201的运行频率F的方法并不局限于此,本公开对此不作限制。For example, when the controller 40 receives a heating signal (eg, a signal sent by the remote control 30 ), the controller 40 controls the operating status of the corresponding components in the air conditioner 1000 to perform heating. In this case, the controller 40 may determine that the air conditioner 1000 is in the heating mode. The controller 40 can obtain the current or voltage curve of the compressor 201 through a current or voltage sensor, and then calculate the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 based on the current or voltage curve. Of course, determine the air conditioner 1000 The method of being in the heating mode and obtaining the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 is not limited to this, and the present disclosure does not limit this.
在空调器1000在开启运行一段时间后,空调器1000趋于稳定状态,压缩机201的运行频率F稳定。当空调器1000运行在制热模式下时,当室内环境的温度降低,或者空调器1000由静音或低风模式变为高风模式,或者空调器由睡眠或静音模式转变为制热模式时,压缩机201的运行频率F会上升,控制器40通过获取压缩机201的运行频率F,可实时获取压缩机201的运行状态。After the air conditioner 1000 is turned on and operated for a period of time, the air conditioner 1000 tends to a stable state, and the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 is stable. When the air conditioner 1000 is running in the heating mode, when the temperature of the indoor environment decreases, or the air conditioner 1000 changes from the silent or low wind mode to the high wind mode, or the air conditioner changes from the sleep or silent mode to the heating mode, The operating frequency F of the compressor 201 will increase. By obtaining the operating frequency F of the compressor 201, the controller 40 can obtain the operating status of the compressor 201 in real time.
在步骤12中,确定在预设周期G内,压缩机201的运行频率F的增加值△F大于预设频率阈值A,控制空调器1000进入假除霜模式。In step 12, it is determined that within the preset period G, the increase value ΔF of the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 is greater than the preset frequency threshold A, and the air conditioner 1000 is controlled to enter the false defrost mode.
压缩机201的运行频率F发生变化会导致空调器1000中的对应部件的运行状态发生变化。如,当压缩机201的运行频率F突然上升时,在短时间内冷媒的流量供应不足,导致蒸发器的压力下降,进而导致室外换热器202的盘管的第一温度T1突然下降。Changes in the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 will cause changes in the operating states of corresponding components in the air conditioner 1000 . For example, when the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 suddenly increases, the flow supply of the refrigerant is insufficient in a short period of time, causing the pressure of the evaporator to drop, which in turn causes the first temperature T1 of the coil of the outdoor heat exchanger 202 to drop suddenly.
例如,图6为根据一些实施例的压缩机的运行频率和第一温度对应关系的示意图。For example, FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating the corresponding relationship between the operating frequency of the compressor and the first temperature according to some embodiments.
如图6所示,线条M表示压缩机201的运行频率F随时间的变化情况。线条N表示第一温度T1随时间的第一种变化情况。线条Q表示第一温度T1随时间的第二种变化情况。As shown in FIG. 6 , the line M represents the change of the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 with time. Line N represents the first change of the first temperature T1 with time. Line Q represents the second change of the first temperature T1 with time.
如图6中的线条M所示,在第一时刻t1至第二时刻t2的过程中,压缩机201的运行频率F从第一子频率F1突然上升至第二子频率F2。在第二时刻t2后,压缩机201的运行频率F保持不变。As shown by the line M in FIG. 6 , during the period from the first time t1 to the second time t2 , the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 suddenly rises from the first sub-frequency F1 to the second sub-frequency F2 . After the second time t2, the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 remains unchanged.
如图6中的线条N所示,从第一时刻t1开始,第一温度T1从第一子温度T11下降并在第三时刻t3下降至第二子温度T12,此时第一温度T1达到最小值。在此情况下,室外环境温度(第四温度T4)与第一温度T1(如第二子温度T12)之差可能满足空调器1000进行除霜的条件。然而,第一温度T1的下降是由于压缩机201运行不稳定导致,实际上室外换热器202上可能不存在霜或者存在较少的霜。若空调器1000在除霜模式下运行,则室内环境的第三温度T3下降,影响空调器1000的制热效果。As shown by line N in Figure 6, starting from the first time t1, the first temperature T1 drops from the first sub-temperature T11 and drops to the second sub-temperature T12 at the third time t3, at which time the first temperature T1 reaches the minimum value. In this case, the difference between the outdoor ambient temperature (the fourth temperature T4) and the first temperature T1 (such as the second sub-temperature T12) may satisfy the condition for the air conditioner 1000 to perform defrosting. However, the decrease in the first temperature T1 is caused by the unstable operation of the compressor 201. In fact, there may be no frost or less frost on the outdoor heat exchanger 202. If the air conditioner 1000 operates in the defrost mode, the third temperature T3 of the indoor environment decreases, affecting the heating effect of the air conditioner 1000 .
并且,如图6中的线条N所示,在第三时刻t3后,第一温度T1上升至第三子温度T13,并保持不变。在此情况下,若室外环境温度(第四温度T4)与第一温度T1(如第三子温度T13)之差未满足空调器1000进行除霜的条件,则空调器1000需要退出除霜模式,并再次在制热模式下运行。此时,空调器1000进行除霜的时间较短,无法达到需求的除霜效果,并且还耗费能源。Moreover, as shown by the line N in FIG. 6 , after the third time t3 , the first temperature T1 rises to the third sub-temperature T13 and remains unchanged. In this case, if the difference between the outdoor ambient temperature (the fourth temperature T4) and the first temperature T1 (such as the third sub-temperature T13) does not meet the conditions for the air conditioner 1000 to defrost, the air conditioner 1000 needs to exit the defrost mode. , and run in heating mode again. At this time, the defrosting time of the air conditioner 1000 is short, the required defrosting effect cannot be achieved, and energy is also consumed.
为了解决上述问题,在本公开一些实施例中设置预设频率阈值A和预设周期G。In order to solve the above problem, a preset frequency threshold A and a preset period G are set in some embodiments of the present disclosure.
预设频率阈值A为预先设定的阈值。预设周期G为预先设定的检测压缩机201的运行频率F的时间周期。压缩机201的运行频率F的增加值△F是指压缩机201的运行频率F在预设周期G内的增加值。例如,控制器40上一次获取的压缩机201的运行频率F记为第一运行频率F(r-1),控制器40当前获取的压缩机201的运行频率F记为第二运行频率F(r),r≥1。在此情况下,压缩机201的运行频率F的增加值△F为第二运行频率F(r)与第一运行频率F(r-1)之差(即,△F=F(r)-F(r-1))。若在预设周期G内压缩机201的运行频率F的增加值△F大于预设频率阈值A(即△F>A),则控制器40确定压缩机201的运行频率F在短时间内快速升高。这样,为了防止空调器1000误进行除霜,控制器40可以控制空调器1000进入假除霜模式,然后确定是否控制空调器1000进入除霜模式。The preset frequency threshold A is a preset threshold. The preset period G is a preset time period for detecting the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 . The increase value ΔF of the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 refers to the increased value of the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 within the preset period G. For example, the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 last obtained by the controller 40 is recorded as the first operating frequency F (r-1), and the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 currently obtained by the controller 40 is recorded as the second operating frequency F ( r), r≥1. In this case, the increase value ΔF of the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 is the difference between the second operating frequency F(r) and the first operating frequency F(r-1) (ie, ΔF=F(r)- F(r-1)). If the increase value ΔF of the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 within the preset period G is greater than the preset frequency threshold A (ie, ΔF>A), the controller 40 determines that the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 will increase rapidly in a short time. rise. In this way, in order to prevent the air conditioner 1000 from mistakenly performing defrosting, the controller 40 may control the air conditioner 1000 to enter the false defrost mode, and then determine whether to control the air conditioner 1000 to enter the defrost mode.
在一些实施例中,预设频率阈值A大于或等于3Hz。例如,预设频率阈值A为3Hz、4Hz、6Hz、8Hz或10Hz等。在空调器1000运行时,压缩机201的运行频率F可能因各种原因而发生轻微变化。若将预设频率阈值A设置为较小值,则空调器1000可能频繁地进入假除霜模式,影响空调器1000的正常运行。因此,可以将预设温差阈值B设定为大于一定值。需要说明的是,可以根据空调器1000的配置设置不同的预设频率阈值A。In some embodiments, the preset frequency threshold A is greater than or equal to 3 Hz. For example, the preset frequency threshold A is 3Hz, 4Hz, 6Hz, 8Hz or 10Hz, etc. When the air conditioner 1000 is operating, the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 may change slightly due to various reasons. If the preset frequency threshold A is set to a smaller value, the air conditioner 1000 may frequently enter the false defrost mode, affecting the normal operation of the air conditioner 1000 . Therefore, the preset temperature difference threshold B can be set to be greater than a certain value. It should be noted that different preset frequency thresholds A can be set according to the configuration of the air conditioner 1000 .
在一些实施例中,预设周期G大于或等于1s,且小于或等于1min(1s≤G≤1min)。例如,预设周期G为1s、10s、20s、30s、50s或1min等。由于压缩机201的运行频率F突然变化的持续时间较短,空调器1000处于不稳定状态的时间较短,因此,预设周期G需要设置为较小值,以及时检测压缩机201的运行频率F的变化情况。这样,通过预设周期G,在空调器1000在制热模式下运行的情况下,控制器40可以每隔一定时间获取一次 压缩机201的运行频率F。需要说明的是,可以根据空调器1000的配置设置预设周期G。In some embodiments, the preset period G is greater than or equal to 1s and less than or equal to 1min (1s≤G≤1min). For example, the preset period G is 1s, 10s, 20s, 30s, 50s or 1min, etc. Since the duration of the sudden change in the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 is short, the time the air conditioner 1000 is in an unstable state is short. Therefore, the preset period G needs to be set to a smaller value to detect the operating frequency of the compressor 201 in a timely manner. changes in F. In this way, by presetting the period G, when the air conditioner 1000 is operating in the heating mode, the controller 40 can obtain The operating frequency F of the compressor 201. It should be noted that the preset period G can be set according to the configuration of the air conditioner 1000 .
需要说明的是,本公开以压缩机201的运行频率F的增加值△F大于预设频率阈值A,控制器40控制空调器1000进入假除霜模式为例进行说明。当然,在一些实施例中,当压缩机201的运行频率F的增加值△F等于预设频率阈值A时,控制器40也可以控制空调器1000进入假除霜模式,本公开对此不作限定。It should be noted that this disclosure takes as an example that the increase value ΔF of the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 is greater than the preset frequency threshold A, and the controller 40 controls the air conditioner 1000 to enter the false defrost mode. Of course, in some embodiments, when the increase value ΔF of the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 is equal to the preset frequency threshold A, the controller 40 can also control the air conditioner 1000 to enter the false defrost mode, which is not limited by the present disclosure. .
在步骤13中,在假除霜模式下,获取第一温度T1。In step 13, in the false defrost mode, the first temperature T1 is obtained.
在步骤14中,确定第(n+1)时刻的第一温度T1小于第n时刻的第一温度T1,控制空调器1000继续制热,并控制空调器1000不进行除霜。这里,n为自然数。第n时刻的第一温度T1为T1(n),第(n+1)时刻的第一温度T1为T1(n+1)。In step 14, it is determined that the first temperature T1 at the (n+1)th time is less than the first temperature T1 at the nth time, the air conditioner 1000 is controlled to continue heating, and the air conditioner 1000 is controlled not to perform defrosting. Here, n is a natural number. The first temperature T1 at the nth time is T1(n), and the first temperature T1 at the (n+1)th time is T1(n+1).
当压缩机201的运行频率F突然升高时,空调器1000中的对应部件的运行状态发生变化。表征空调器1000运行状态波动的参数包括第一温度T1、第二温度T2、第五温度T5、压缩机201的运行频率F和室内风机102的转速S等。表1描述了室内风机102的转速S和压缩机201的运行频率F分别对第一温度T1、第二温度T2以及第五温度T5的影响程度。表1中的“★”的数量代表相关程度。也就是说,“★”数量越多,影响程度越大。需要说明的是,第五温度T5(排气温度)为压缩机201排出气态冷媒的温度。When the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 suddenly increases, the operating status of the corresponding components in the air conditioner 1000 changes. Parameters that represent fluctuations in the operating status of the air conditioner 1000 include the first temperature T1, the second temperature T2, the fifth temperature T5, the operating frequency F of the compressor 201, the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102, and so on. Table 1 describes the degree of influence of the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102 and the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 on the first temperature T1, the second temperature T2, and the fifth temperature T5 respectively. The number of “★” in Table 1 represents the degree of correlation. In other words, the greater the number of "★", the greater the impact. It should be noted that the fifth temperature T5 (discharge temperature) is the temperature at which the compressor 201 discharges the gaseous refrigerant.
表1室内风机的转速以及压缩机的运行频率与第一温度、第二温度以及第五温度的关系
Table 1 The relationship between the rotation speed of the indoor fan and the operating frequency of the compressor and the first temperature, the second temperature and the fifth temperature
由表1可知,压缩机201的运行频率F对第一温度T1的影响较大。因此,控制器40可以根据第一温度T1和压缩机201的运行频率F,控制空调器1000,以避免空调器1000在无霜时除霜以及频繁除霜的情况,从而提高空调器1000的运行稳定性,减少能源耗费。It can be seen from Table 1 that the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 has a great influence on the first temperature T1. Therefore, the controller 40 can control the air conditioner 1000 according to the first temperature T1 and the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 to avoid defrosting and frequent defrosting of the air conditioner 1000 when there is no frost, thereby improving the operation of the air conditioner 1000 Stability and reduced energy consumption.
由表1可知,由于压缩机201的运行频率F突然变化必然导致第一温度T1发生改变。因此,当空调器1000进入假除霜模式时,第一温度T1在一定时间内降低。例如,第(n+1)时刻的第一温度T1(n+1)小于第n时刻的第一温度T1(n)(T1(n+1)<T1(n))。在此情况下,第四温度T4与第一温度T1之差无法反映室外换热器202的实际的结霜情况,因此,控制器40无法准确判断第一温差ΔTm1是否满足除霜条件。若控制器40以第一温度T1的下降确定空调器1000进行除霜,则控制器40的判断失误,空调器1000误进入除霜模式。需要说明的是,第一温差ΔTm1为第四温度T4与第一温度T1的差值(ΔTm1=T4-T1)。It can be seen from Table 1 that the sudden change in the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 will inevitably cause the first temperature T1 to change. Therefore, when the air conditioner 1000 enters the false defrost mode, the first temperature T1 decreases within a certain period of time. For example, the first temperature T1(n+1) at the (n+1)th time point is smaller than the first temperature T1(n) at the nth time point (T1(n+1)<T1(n)). In this case, the difference between the fourth temperature T4 and the first temperature T1 cannot reflect the actual frosting condition of the outdoor heat exchanger 202. Therefore, the controller 40 cannot accurately determine whether the first temperature difference ΔTm1 meets the defrosting condition. If the controller 40 determines that the air conditioner 1000 is to be defrosted based on the decrease in the first temperature T1, the controller 40's judgment is incorrect and the air conditioner 1000 enters the defrost mode by mistake. It should be noted that the first temperature difference ΔTm1 is the difference between the fourth temperature T4 and the first temperature T1 (ΔTm1=T4-T1).
因此,在假除霜模式下,即使控制器40确定第一温度T1下降,控制器40也无需判断第一温度T1是否满足除霜条件。此时,控制器40控制空调器1000继续保持制热运行,而不进行除霜,从而避免空调器1000误进入除霜模式。Therefore, in the false defrost mode, even if the controller 40 determines that the first temperature T1 decreases, the controller 40 does not need to determine whether the first temperature T1 meets the defrost condition. At this time, the controller 40 controls the air conditioner 1000 to continue to maintain heating operation without performing defrosting, thereby preventing the air conditioner 1000 from mistakenly entering the defrost mode.
需要说明的是,控制器40确定空调器1000进入除霜模式的过程如下:在压缩机201运行一段时间后,控制器40通过第一温度传感器206和第四温度传感器207获取第一温度T1和第四温度T4。当控制器40确定第四温度T4小于或等于第一温度阈值,第一温度T1小于或等于第二温度阈值,以及第一温差ΔTm1大于或等于第三温度阈值时,空调器1000运行除霜模式。当控制器40检测到第一温度T1大于或等于第四温度阈值时,空调器退出除霜模式。所述第一温度阈值、所述第二温度阈值、所述第三温度阈值和所述第四温度阈值为预先设定的阈值,其可根据实际需要进行设定,本公开对此不做限制。It should be noted that the process by which the controller 40 determines that the air conditioner 1000 enters the defrost mode is as follows: after the compressor 201 runs for a period of time, the controller 40 obtains the first temperature T1 and the first temperature T1 through the first temperature sensor 206 and the fourth temperature sensor 207 The fourth temperature is T4. When the controller 40 determines that the fourth temperature T4 is less than or equal to the first temperature threshold, the first temperature T1 is less than or equal to the second temperature threshold, and the first temperature difference ΔTm1 is greater than or equal to the third temperature threshold, the air conditioner 1000 operates in the defrost mode . When the controller 40 detects that the first temperature T1 is greater than or equal to the fourth temperature threshold, the air conditioner exits the defrost mode. The first temperature threshold, the second temperature threshold, the third temperature threshold and the fourth temperature threshold are preset thresholds, which can be set according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not limit this. .
由于在假除霜模式下第一温差ΔTm1无法表示室外机20的结霜情况,因此,空调器1000在进入假除霜模式后,控制器40可以不获取第四温度T4,或者,控制器40可以直接赋值给第四温度T4一个固定值,并设定该固定值大于所述第一温度阈值。这样,控制器40可以限定空调器1000进入除霜模式的条件。在假除霜模式下,由于第四温度T4不满足空调器1000进入除霜模式的条件,因此,可以防止空调器1000误进入除霜模式。Since the first temperature difference ΔTm1 cannot represent the frosting condition of the outdoor unit 20 in the false defrost mode, after the air conditioner 1000 enters the false defrost mode, the controller 40 may not obtain the fourth temperature T4, or the controller 40 A fixed value can be directly assigned to the fourth temperature T4, and the fixed value can be set to be greater than the first temperature threshold. In this way, the controller 40 can define the conditions under which the air conditioner 1000 enters the defrost mode. In the false defrost mode, since the fourth temperature T4 does not meet the conditions for the air conditioner 1000 to enter the defrost mode, the air conditioner 1000 can be prevented from entering the defrost mode by mistake.
当空调器1000在制热模式下运行时,压缩机201的运行频率F突然发生变化,会引起空调器1000波动,进而可能满足除霜条件而使得空调器1000进入除霜模式,本公开一些实施例中提出了假除霜模式,通过引入预设频率阈值A,使得当压缩机201的运行频率 F在预设周期G内运行频率F的增加值△F超过预设频率阈值A时,控制器40控制空调器1000进入假除霜模式。也就是说,在由压缩机201的运行频率F发生变化引起第一温度T1改变的情况下,即使第一温度T1满足空调器1000进入除霜模式的条件,控制器40也不控制空调器1000进入除霜模式,这样,可以避免空调器1000在无霜时除霜以及频繁除霜的情况,从而提高空调器1000的运行稳定性,减少能源耗费。When the air conditioner 1000 is running in the heating mode, the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 suddenly changes, which will cause the air conditioner 1000 to fluctuate, and then the defrosting conditions may be met and the air conditioner 1000 enters the defrost mode. Some implementations of the present disclosure In the example, a false defrost mode is proposed, by introducing a preset frequency threshold A, so that when the operating frequency of the compressor 201 When the increase value ΔF of the operating frequency F exceeds the preset frequency threshold A within the preset period G, the controller 40 controls the air conditioner 1000 to enter the false defrost mode. That is, in the case where the first temperature T1 changes due to a change in the operating frequency F of the compressor 201, even if the first temperature T1 satisfies the condition for the air conditioner 1000 to enter the defrost mode, the controller 40 does not control the air conditioner 1000. Entering the defrost mode can avoid the air conditioner 1000 being defrosted when there is no frost and frequent defrost, thereby improving the operating stability of the air conditioner 1000 and reducing energy consumption.
在一些实施例中,在步骤14之后,控制器40还被配置为:确定第一温度T1在上升至第一目标温度后在第一预设时长H1内保持不变,且压缩机201的运行频率F增加至第一频率(目标频率)后保持不变,控制空调器1000退出假除霜模式,并控制空调器1000进入制热模式以继续制热。这里,所述第一目标温度可以大于满足空调器1000的除霜条件的第一温度T1。这样,当第一温度T1等于所述第一目标温度时,室外换热器202可能不存在霜或者存在较少的霜,在这种情况下,空调器1000无需在除霜模式下运行。In some embodiments, after step 14, the controller 40 is further configured to: determine that the first temperature T1 remains unchanged within the first preset time period H1 after rising to the first target temperature, and the operation of the compressor 201 After the frequency F increases to the first frequency (target frequency) and remains unchanged, the air conditioner 1000 is controlled to exit the false defrost mode, and the air conditioner 1000 is controlled to enter the heating mode to continue heating. Here, the first target temperature may be greater than the first temperature T1 that satisfies the defrosting condition of the air conditioner 1000 . In this way, when the first temperature T1 is equal to the first target temperature, there may be no frost or less frost in the outdoor heat exchanger 202. In this case, the air conditioner 1000 does not need to operate in the defrost mode.
在空调器1000运行不稳定的情况下,第一温度T1可能降低然后回升。例如,如图6中的线条M和N所示,从第一时刻t1开始,压缩机201的运行频率F突然上升,导致第一温度T1下降并在第三时刻t3下降至最小值。在第三时刻t3后,第一温度T1上升至第三子温度T13(如所述第一目标温度)。在此情况下,若第一温度T1保持不变的时长等于第一预设时长H1,则控制器40确定空调器1000运行稳定。并且,若在第一预设时长H1内,压缩机201的运行频率F保持不变,则控制器40控制空调器1000退出假除霜模式。In the case where the air conditioner 1000 operates unstable, the first temperature T1 may decrease and then increase. For example, as shown by lines M and N in Figure 6, starting from the first time t1, the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 suddenly increases, causing the first temperature T1 to decrease and drop to a minimum value at the third time t3. After the third time t3, the first temperature T1 rises to the third sub-temperature T13 (such as the first target temperature). In this case, if the first temperature T1 remains unchanged for a period equal to the first preset period H1, the controller 40 determines that the air conditioner 1000 is operating stably. Moreover, if the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 remains unchanged within the first preset time period H1, the controller 40 controls the air conditioner 1000 to exit the false defrost mode.
这样,控制器40根据压缩机201的运行频率F的增加值△F,确定第一温度T1的最小值。并且,在第一温度T1上升后和空调器1000运行稳定之前,控制器40控制空调器1000不进行除霜,可以避免空调器1000频繁除霜或在不存在霜的情况下除霜的现象。In this way, the controller 40 determines the minimum value of the first temperature T1 according to the increase value ΔF of the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 . Moreover, after the first temperature T1 rises and before the air conditioner 1000 operates stably, the controller 40 controls the air conditioner 1000 not to perform defrosting, which can avoid the phenomenon of the air conditioner 1000 being defrosted frequently or defrosting in the absence of frost.
在一些实施例中,第一预设时长H1可以大于或等于1min,且小于或等于5min。例如,第一预设时长H1为1min、2min、3min、4min或5min等。需要说明的是,可以根据空调器1000的配置设置第一预设时长H1。In some embodiments, the first preset time period H1 may be greater than or equal to 1 minute and less than or equal to 5 minutes. For example, the first preset time period H1 is 1 min, 2 min, 3 min, 4 min or 5 min, etc. It should be noted that the first preset time period H1 can be set according to the configuration of the air conditioner 1000 .
在一些实施例中,控制器40所执行的步骤11包括:确定空调器1000在制热模式下的运行时间达到第五预设时长H5,确定空调器1000处于制热模式。In some embodiments, step 11 performed by the controller 40 includes: determining that the operating time of the air conditioner 1000 in the heating mode reaches the fifth preset time length H5, and determining that the air conditioner 1000 is in the heating mode.
在一些实施例中,第五预设时长H5大于或等于9min,且小于等于11min。例如,第五预设时长H5为9min、10min或11min等。通常压缩机201开始运行10min后,压缩机201的运行频率F稳定,从而空调器1000整体运行平稳。若压缩机201开始运行后其运行时间小于9min,则压缩机201的运行频率F波动较大,获取的数据变化较大容易影响判断结果的准确性。若压缩机201开始运行后其运行时间大于11min,则导致等待时间过长。因此,需要压缩机201启动后的持续运行时间大于或等于9min,且小于等于11min。也就是说,第五预设时长H5大于或等于9min,且小于等于11min。In some embodiments, the fifth preset time period H5 is greater than or equal to 9 minutes and less than or equal to 11 minutes. For example, the fifth preset time period H5 is 9 minutes, 10 minutes or 11 minutes, etc. Usually, 10 minutes after the compressor 201 starts operating, the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 becomes stable, so that the overall operation of the air conditioner 1000 is stable. If the operating time of the compressor 201 is less than 9 minutes after it starts operating, the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 will fluctuate greatly, and the acquired data will change greatly and easily affect the accuracy of the judgment result. If the running time of the compressor 201 is greater than 11 minutes after it starts running, the waiting time will be too long. Therefore, the continuous operation time of the compressor 201 after starting is required to be greater than or equal to 9 minutes and less than or equal to 11 minutes. That is to say, the fifth preset time period H5 is greater than or equal to 9 minutes and less than or equal to 11 minutes.
在一些实施例中,控制器40所执行的步骤14包括:连续第一预设次数地确定第(n+1)时刻的第一温度T1小于第n时刻的第一温度T1,控制空调器1000继续制热,并控制空调器1000不进行除霜。In some embodiments, step 14 performed by the controller 40 includes: determining for a first preset number of times that the first temperature T1 at the (n+1)th moment is less than the first temperature T1 at the nth moment, and controlling the air conditioner 1000 Heating is continued, and the air conditioner 1000 is controlled not to perform defrosting.
这里,所述第一预设次数大于或等于2。例如,所述第一预设次数等于2次、3次或4次等。由于检测次数较少可能会存在检测错误的情况,因此,通过对第一温度T1进行多次重复检测与判断,可以提高控制器40判断第一温度T1随时间变化趋势的准确性。Here, the first preset number of times is greater than or equal to 2. For example, the first preset number of times is equal to 2 times, 3 times or 4 times, etc. Since detection errors may occur if the number of detections is small, by repeatedly detecting and determining the first temperature T1 multiple times, the accuracy of the controller 40 in determining the change trend of the first temperature T1 over time can be improved.
在一些实施例中,在步骤14后,控制器40还被配置:确定第一温度T1在上升至第二目标温度之后在第二预设时长H2内保持不变,之后又降低至第三目标温度,以及压缩机201的运行频率F在增加至第一频率(目标频率)后保持不变,控制空调器1000进行除霜。In some embodiments, after step 14, the controller 40 is further configured to: determine that the first temperature T1 remains unchanged within the second preset time period H2 after rising to the second target temperature, and then decreases to the third target. The temperature and the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 remain unchanged after increasing to the first frequency (target frequency), and the air conditioner 1000 is controlled to perform defrosting.
这里,所述第三目标温度为满足空调器1000的除霜条件的第一温度T1。所述第二目标温度和第二预设时长H2可根据需要进行设定,本公开对此不作限定。Here, the third target temperature is the first temperature T1 that satisfies the defrosting condition of the air conditioner 1000 . The second target temperature and the second preset time period H2 can be set as needed, and this disclosure does not limit this.
在空调器1000运行不稳定的情况下,第一温度T1可能降低然后回升。例如,如图6中的线条Q所示,从第一时刻t1开始,压缩机201的运行频率F突然上升,导致第一温度T1下降并在第三时刻t3下降至最小值。在第三时刻t3后,第一温度T1上升,并在第四时刻t4达到第四子温度T23(如所述第二目标温度),且在短时间(如第二预设时长 H2)内保持不变。In the case where the air conditioner 1000 operates unstable, the first temperature T1 may decrease and then increase. For example, as shown by line Q in FIG. 6 , starting from the first time t1 , the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 suddenly increases, causing the first temperature T1 to drop and drop to a minimum value at the third time t3 . After the third time t3, the first temperature T1 rises and reaches the fourth sub-temperature T23 (such as the second target temperature) at the fourth time t4, and in a short time (such as the second preset time period) H2) remains unchanged.
在此情况下,当压缩机201的运行频率F保持不变,且在一定时间后空调器1000运行稳定时,若第一温度T1下降至一定温度,且下降后的第一温度T1满足空调器1000运行除霜模式的条件。例如,在第六时刻t6,第一温度T1下降至第五子温度T24(如所述第三目标温度),且该第五子温度T24满足空调器1000进入除霜模式的条件,则控制器40确定室外机20结霜,需要对其进行除霜。在此情况下,控制器40控制空调器1000退出假除霜模式,并取消对第四温度T4的限定(如,控制器40控制第四温度传感器207获取第四温度T4,或者控制器40取消对第四温度T4的赋值),以使空调器1000可以进入除霜模式。因此,在压缩机201的运行频率F变化引起的第一温度T1波动的情况下,控制器40通过执行上述步骤可以避免空调器1000频繁除霜或在不存在霜的情况下除霜的现象。并且,当室外机20结霜时,控制器40所执行的步骤并不会影响空调器1000的除霜。In this case, when the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 remains unchanged and the air conditioner 1000 operates stably after a certain period of time, if the first temperature T1 drops to a certain temperature, and the dropped first temperature T1 meets the requirements of the air conditioner 1000 conditions for running defrost mode. For example, at the sixth time t6, the first temperature T1 drops to the fifth sub-temperature T24 (such as the third target temperature), and the fifth sub-temperature T24 meets the conditions for the air conditioner 1000 to enter the defrost mode, then the controller 40 It is determined that the outdoor unit 20 is frosted and needs to be defrosted. In this case, the controller 40 controls the air conditioner 1000 to exit the false defrost mode and cancels the limitation on the fourth temperature T4 (for example, the controller 40 controls the fourth temperature sensor 207 to obtain the fourth temperature T4, or the controller 40 cancels Assignment to the fourth temperature T4), so that the air conditioner 1000 can enter the defrost mode. Therefore, in the case where the first temperature T1 fluctuates due to changes in the operating frequency F of the compressor 201, the controller 40 can avoid the phenomenon of frequent defrosting of the air conditioner 1000 or defrosting in the absence of frost by performing the above steps. Moreover, when the outdoor unit 20 is frosted, the steps performed by the controller 40 will not affect the defrosting of the air conditioner 1000 .
需要说明的是,空调器1000在假除霜模式下的制热与空调器1000在制热模式下的制热类似。只是空调器1000在假除霜模式下进行制热时,室外环境温度(第四温度T4)是被限制的,控制器40无法确定空调器1000进行除霜。而空调器1000在制热模式下进行制热时,室外环境温度未被限制,且控制器40可以判断是否控制空调器1000进行除霜。It should be noted that the heating of the air conditioner 1000 in the false defrost mode is similar to the heating of the air conditioner 1000 in the heating mode. However, when the air conditioner 1000 performs heating in the false defrost mode, the outdoor ambient temperature (the fourth temperature T4) is limited, and the controller 40 cannot determine that the air conditioner 1000 performs defrost. When the air conditioner 1000 performs heating in the heating mode, the outdoor ambient temperature is not limited, and the controller 40 can determine whether to control the air conditioner 1000 to perform defrosting.
本公开一些实施例还提供了一种空调器的除霜控制方法,该方法应用于控制器上。所述空调器与上述空调器1000的结构类似。例如,所述空调器包括上述室内机10和上述室外机20。室外机20包括压缩机201。Some embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a defrost control method for an air conditioner, which method is applied to a controller. The air conditioner has a similar structure to the air conditioner 1000 described above. For example, the air conditioner includes the above-mentioned indoor unit 10 and the above-mentioned outdoor unit 20 . The outdoor unit 20 includes a compressor 201.
在此情况下,如图5所示,该方法包括步骤21至步骤24。In this case, as shown in Figure 5, the method includes steps 21 to 24.
在步骤21中,在空调器1000处于制热模式下,获取压缩机201的运行频率F。In step 21, when the air conditioner 1000 is in the heating mode, the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 is obtained.
在步骤22中,确定在预设周期G内,压缩机201的运行频率F的增加值△F大于预设频率阈值A,控制空调器1000进入假除霜模式。In step 22, it is determined that within the preset period G, the increase value ΔF of the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 is greater than the preset frequency threshold A, and the air conditioner 1000 is controlled to enter the false defrost mode.
在步骤23中,在假除霜模式下,获取第一温度T1。In step 23, in the false defrost mode, the first temperature T1 is obtained.
在步骤24中,确定第(n+1)时刻的第一温度T1小于第n时刻的第一温度T1,控制空调器1000继续制热,并控制空调器1000不进行除霜。这里,n为自然数。In step 24, it is determined that the first temperature T1 at the (n+1)th time is less than the first temperature T1 at the nth time, the air conditioner 1000 is controlled to continue heating, and the air conditioner 1000 is controlled not to perform defrosting. Here, n is a natural number.
在一些实施例中,在步骤24后,该方法还包括:确定第一温度T1在上升至第一目标温度后在第一预设时长H1内保持不变,且压缩机201的运行频率F增加至第一频率(目标频率)后保持不变,控制空调器1000退出假除霜模式,并控制空调器1000进入制热模式以继续制热。In some embodiments, after step 24, the method further includes: determining that the first temperature T1 remains unchanged within a first preset time period H1 after rising to the first target temperature, and the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 increases. After reaching the first frequency (target frequency) and remaining unchanged, the air conditioner 1000 is controlled to exit the false defrost mode, and the air conditioner 1000 is controlled to enter the heating mode to continue heating.
在一些实施例中,步骤21包括:确定空调器1000在制热模式下的运行时间达到第五预设时长H5,确定空调器1000处于制热模式。In some embodiments, step 21 includes: determining that the operating time of the air conditioner 1000 in the heating mode reaches the fifth preset time length H5, and determining that the air conditioner 1000 is in the heating mode.
在一些实施例中,步骤24包括:连续第一预设次数地确定第(n+1)时刻的第一温度T1小于第n时刻的第一温度T1,控制空调器1000继续制热,并控制空调器1000不进行除霜。In some embodiments, step 24 includes: determining for a first preset number of times that the first temperature T1 at the (n+1)th moment is less than the first temperature T1 at the nth moment, controlling the air conditioner 1000 to continue heating, and controlling The air conditioner 1000 does not defrost.
在一些实施例中,在步骤24后,该方法还包括:确定第一温度T1在上升至第二目标温度后在第二预设时长H2内保持不变,之后又降低至第三目标温度,以及压缩机201的运行频率F在增加至第一频率(目标频率)后保持不变,控制空调器1000进入除霜模式。In some embodiments, after step 24, the method further includes: determining that the first temperature T1 remains unchanged within the second preset time period H2 after rising to the second target temperature, and then decreases to the third target temperature, And the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 remains unchanged after increasing to the first frequency (target frequency), and the air conditioner 1000 is controlled to enter the defrost mode.
需要说明的是,本公开一些实施例提供的空调器的除霜控制方法,与上述实施例提供的空调器中的控制器40所执行的所有流程步骤相同,两者的工作原理和有益效果相对应,因而在此不再赘述。It should be noted that the defrosting control method for an air conditioner provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure is the same as all the process steps executed by the controller 40 in the air conditioner provided by the above embodiments, and the working principles and beneficial effects of the two are similar. corresponding, so they will not be described again here.
图7为根据一些实施例的空调器的除霜控制方法的一种流程图。Figure 7 is a flow chart of a defrost control method of an air conditioner according to some embodiments.
在一些实施例中,如图7所示,在步骤21后(在空调器1000处于制热模式下,获取压缩机201的运行频率F后),该方法还包括步骤211或步骤212中的至少一个。In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 7, after step 21 (after the air conditioner 1000 is in the heating mode and the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 is obtained), the method further includes at least step 211 or step 212. one.
在步骤211中,确定第三温度T3降低,且第二温差△Tm2(室内温差)变大。In step 211, it is determined that the third temperature T3 decreases and the second temperature difference ΔTm2 (indoor temperature difference) becomes larger.
第二温差△Tm2为设定温度与第三温度T3之差。所述设定温度为根据用户对室内环境温度的需求而预先设定的温度。用户可以通过遥控器30或者移动终端上的空调应用程序(Application,APP)或者控制面板设定所述设定温度。The second temperature difference ΔTm2 is the difference between the set temperature and the third temperature T3. The set temperature is a temperature preset according to the user's demand for indoor ambient temperature. The user can set the set temperature through the remote control 30 or the air conditioning application (Application, APP) on the mobile terminal or the control panel.
当空调器1000在制热模式下运行一段时间后,第三温度T3逐渐上升,第二温差△Tm2 变小。第二温差△Tm2越小,第三温度T3越接近所述设定温度。也就是说,室内环境温度接近用户设定的温度。在此情况下,空调器的压缩机201的运行频率由高频降至低频。在第三温度T3等于所述设定温度时,空调器1000的压缩机201保持在中频或低频下运行。When the air conditioner 1000 operates in the heating mode for a period of time, the third temperature T3 gradually rises, and the second temperature difference ΔTm2 become smaller. The smaller the second temperature difference ΔTm2 is, the closer the third temperature T3 is to the set temperature. That is to say, the indoor ambient temperature is close to the temperature set by the user. In this case, the operating frequency of the compressor 201 of the air conditioner is reduced from high frequency to low frequency. When the third temperature T3 is equal to the set temperature, the compressor 201 of the air conditioner 1000 keeps operating at a medium frequency or a low frequency.
在压缩机201在中频或低频下运行的过程中,频繁地开关门或者人员出入室内可能导致第三温度T3降低,使第二温差△Tm2变大,从而压缩机201再次升频运行。当压缩机201的运行频率F突然升高时,第一温度T1快速降低,且低于压缩机201高频运行时的第一温度T1。在这种情况下,室外机20上可能并不存在霜或者存在较少的霜,若控制器40根据第一温差△Tm1判断空调器1000是否进行除霜,则空调器1000可能误进入除霜模式导致第三温度T3降低,影响空调器1000的制热效果。While the compressor 201 is operating at medium or low frequency, frequent opening and closing of doors or people entering and exiting the room may cause the third temperature T3 to decrease, causing the second temperature difference ΔTm2 to increase, causing the compressor 201 to increase frequency again. When the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 suddenly increases, the first temperature T1 decreases rapidly and is lower than the first temperature T1 when the compressor 201 operates at high frequency. In this case, there may be no frost or less frost on the outdoor unit 20. If the controller 40 determines whether the air conditioner 1000 performs defrosting based on the first temperature difference ΔTm1, the air conditioner 1000 may mistakenly enter defrost. mode causes the third temperature T3 to decrease, affecting the heating effect of the air conditioner 1000.
在步骤212中,确定室内风机102的转速S增大。In step 212, it is determined that the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102 increases.
在空调器1000进行制热,且空调器1000为静音或者睡眠模式的情况下,压缩机201在低频下运行,且室内风机102以低转速运行。若空调器1000在该模式下运行一段时间后,第三温度T3仍然小于所述设定温度,则控制器40控制空调器1000进入制热模式。在这种情况下,室内风机102的转速S升高,压缩机201的运行频率F也快速升高。When the air conditioner 1000 performs heating and the air conditioner 1000 is in silent or sleep mode, the compressor 201 operates at a low frequency, and the indoor fan 102 operates at a low rotational speed. If the third temperature T3 is still less than the set temperature after the air conditioner 1000 has been running in this mode for a period of time, the controller 40 controls the air conditioner 1000 to enter the heating mode. In this case, the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102 increases, and the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 also increases rapidly.
或者,当空调器1000以高风或强力风模式运行一段时间后,第二温度T2(室内换热器101的盘管的温度)上升,空调器1000的功率增大。在此情况下,电流保护或者对室内换热器101的盘管的过载保护可能触发,以使压缩机201的运行频率F降低,从而空调器1000在低风模式下运行且压缩机201保持低频运行。这样,在空调器1000运行一段时间后,若调整室内风机102的转速S为高转速,压缩机201的运行频率F会快速升高。Or, when the air conditioner 1000 operates in the high wind or strong wind mode for a period of time, the second temperature T2 (the temperature of the coil of the indoor heat exchanger 101) rises, and the power of the air conditioner 1000 increases. In this case, the current protection or the overload protection of the coil of the indoor heat exchanger 101 may be triggered, so that the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 is reduced, so that the air conditioner 1000 operates in the low wind mode and the compressor 201 maintains a low frequency. run. In this way, after the air conditioner 1000 has been running for a period of time, if the rotational speed S of the indoor fan 102 is adjusted to a high rotational speed, the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 will increase rapidly.
需要说明的是,室内风机102的电机可以为PG电机,PG电机为一具有霍尔元件的电机,其具有转速反馈电路以反馈室内风机102的转速S。控制器40可以通过该转速反馈电路获取室内风机102的转速S。当然,控制器40可以通过其他方式获取室内风机102的转速S,本公开对此不作限制。It should be noted that the motor of the indoor fan 102 may be a PG motor. The PG motor is a motor with a Hall element and a rotational speed feedback circuit to feed back the rotational speed S of the indoor fan 102 . The controller 40 can obtain the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102 through the rotation speed feedback circuit. Of course, the controller 40 can obtain the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102 through other methods, and this disclosure does not limit this.
图8为根据一些实施例的空调器的除霜控制方法的另一种流程图。图9为根据一些实施例的空调器的除霜控制方法的又一种流程图。Figure 8 is another flowchart of a defrost control method of an air conditioner according to some embodiments. Figure 9 is yet another flowchart of a defrost control method of an air conditioner according to some embodiments.
以下参考图8和图9对空调器的除霜控制方法做示例性说明。The defrost control method of the air conditioner will be exemplified below with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9 .
在一些实施例中,如图8所示,该方法包括步骤31至步骤34。In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 8, the method includes steps 31 to 34.
在步骤31中,确定空调器1000处于制热模式。In step 31, it is determined that the air conditioner 1000 is in the heating mode.
在步骤32中,确定压缩机的运行时间达到第五预设时长H5,并获取压缩机201的运行频率F。这里,第五预设时长H5可以等于10min。In step 32, it is determined that the operating time of the compressor reaches the fifth preset time length H5, and the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 is obtained. Here, the fifth preset time period H5 may be equal to 10 minutes.
在步骤33中,判断压缩机201的运行频率F是否升高,且在预设周期G内,压缩机201的运行频率F的增加值△F是否大于预设频率阈值A。若是,控制器40执行步骤34;若否,控制器40返回执行步骤31,保持制热模式。In step 33, it is determined whether the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 increases, and whether the increase value ΔF of the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 is greater than the preset frequency threshold A within the preset period G. If yes, the controller 40 executes step 34; if not, the controller 40 returns to step 31 and maintains the heating mode.
在步骤34中,控制空调器1000进入假除霜模式。In step 34, the air conditioner 1000 is controlled to enter the false defrost mode.
在步骤34后,如图9所示,该方法还包括步骤35至步骤41。After step 34, as shown in Figure 9, the method also includes steps 35 to 41.
在步骤35中,判断是否连续两次以上第(n+1)时刻的第一温度T1小于第n时刻的第一温度T1,若是,则执行步骤36;若否,则执行步骤40。In step 35, it is determined whether the first temperature T1 at the (n+1)th time is less than the first temperature T1 at the nth time for more than two consecutive times. If yes, step 36 is executed; if not, step 40 is executed.
在步骤36中,连续获取第一温度T1,并判断第一温度T1在第一预设时长H1内是否保持不变,若是,则执行步骤37,若否,则执行步骤39。In step 36, the first temperature T1 is continuously obtained, and it is determined whether the first temperature T1 remains unchanged within the first preset time period H1. If yes, step 37 is executed. If not, step 39 is executed.
在步骤37中,控制空调器1000继续进行制热,退出假除霜模式。In step 37, the air conditioner 1000 is controlled to continue heating and exit the false defrost mode.
在步骤38中,控制空调器1000进入制热模式。In step 38, the air conditioner 1000 is controlled to enter the heating mode.
在步骤39中,控制空调器1000保持制热运行。In step 39, the air conditioner 1000 is controlled to maintain heating operation.
在步骤40中,控制空调器1000保持制热运行。In step 40, the air conditioner 1000 is controlled to maintain heating operation.
在步骤41中,判断是否连续三次第(n+1)时刻的第一温度T1小于第n时刻的第一温度T1,若是,则执行步骤36;若否,则执行步骤37。In step 41, it is determined whether the first temperature T1 at the (n+1)th time for three consecutive times is less than the first temperature T1 at the nth time. If yes, step 36 is executed; if not, step 37 is executed.
另外,当控制器40执行步骤39时,控制器40实时获取第一温度T1,并再次判断是否连续两次以上第(n+1)时刻的第一温度T1小于第n时刻的第一温度T1。也就是说,在控制器40控制空调器1000保持制热运行的过程中,控制器40会重复执行步骤35至步 骤41,从而实现控制器40对空调器1000运行状态的循环监测,以避免空调器1000在无霜时除霜以及频繁除霜的情况。In addition, when the controller 40 executes step 39, the controller 40 obtains the first temperature T1 in real time, and again determines whether the first temperature T1 at the (n+1)th time is less than the first temperature T1 at the nth time for more than two consecutive times. . That is to say, while the controller 40 controls the air conditioner 1000 to maintain the heating operation, the controller 40 will repeatedly execute steps 35 to 35. Step 41, thereby realizing the controller 40's cyclic monitoring of the operating status of the air conditioner 1000 to avoid defrosting of the air conditioner 1000 when there is no frost or frequent defrosting.
前文主要以控制器40根据第一温度T1和压缩机201的运行频率F控制空调器1000退出假除霜模式为例进行说明。当然,在一些实施例中,控制器40也可以通过其他参数控制空调器1000退出假除霜模式。The foregoing description mainly takes the controller 40 controlling the air conditioner 1000 to exit the false defrost mode according to the first temperature T1 and the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 as an example. Of course, in some embodiments, the controller 40 may also control the air conditioner 1000 to exit the false defrost mode through other parameters.
本公开一些实施例还提供了一种空调器。该空调器与上述空调器1000的结构相同。该空调器包括上述室内机10、上述室外机20以及上述控制器40。室外机20包括压缩机201。控制器40被配置为控制所述空调器中的各个部件工作,以实现所述空调器的各个预定功能。Some embodiments of the present disclosure also provide an air conditioner. This air conditioner has the same structure as the air conditioner 1000 described above. This air conditioner includes the above-mentioned indoor unit 10, the above-mentioned outdoor unit 20, and the above-mentioned controller 40. The outdoor unit 20 includes a compressor 201. The controller 40 is configured to control the operation of various components in the air conditioner to implement various predetermined functions of the air conditioner.
图10为根据另一些实施例的空调器中的控制器的一种流程图。如图10所示,控制器40被配置为执行步骤51至步骤55。Figure 10 is a flow chart of a controller in an air conditioner according to other embodiments. As shown in FIG. 10 , the controller 40 is configured to perform steps 51 to 55 .
在步骤51中,在空调器1000处于制热模式下,获取压缩机201的运行频率F。In step 51, when the air conditioner 1000 is in the heating mode, the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 is obtained.
在步骤52中,确定在预设周期G内,压缩机201的运行频率F的增加值△F大于预设频率阈值A,控制空调器1000进入假除霜模式。In step 52, it is determined that within the preset period G, the increase value ΔF of the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 is greater than the preset frequency threshold A, and the air conditioner 1000 is controlled to enter the false defrost mode.
需要说明的是,预设周期G以及预设频率阈值A可参见前文的相关描述,此处不再赘述。并且,控制器40所执行步骤51以及步骤52与前文控制器40所执行的步骤11以及步骤12相同,两者的工作原理和有益效果相对应,因而在此不再赘述。It should be noted that the preset period G and the preset frequency threshold A can be found in the previous relevant descriptions and will not be described again here. Furthermore, steps 51 and 52 performed by the controller 40 are the same as steps 11 and 12 performed by the controller 40. The working principles and beneficial effects of the two correspond to each other, so they will not be described again here.
在步骤53中,在假除霜模式下,获取第一温度T1、第二温度T2和室内风机102的转速S。In step 53, in the false defrost mode, the first temperature T1, the second temperature T2 and the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102 are obtained.
需要说明的是,第一温度T1以及第二温度T2可参见前文的相关描述,此处不再赘述。It should be noted that, for the first temperature T1 and the second temperature T2, please refer to the relevant descriptions above and will not be described again here.
在步骤54中,确定第(n+1)时刻的第一温度T1小于第n时刻的第一温度T1,控制空调器1000继续制热,并控制空调器1000不进行除霜。In step 54, it is determined that the first temperature T1 at the (n+1)th time is less than the first temperature T1 at the nth time, the air conditioner 1000 is controlled to continue heating, and the air conditioner 1000 is controlled not to perform defrosting.
需要说明的是,控制器40所执行步骤54与前文控制器40所执行的步骤14相同,两者的工作原理和有益效果相对应,因而在此不再赘述。It should be noted that step 54 performed by the controller 40 is the same as step 14 performed by the controller 40. The working principles and beneficial effects of the two correspond to each other, so they will not be described again here.
例如,如图6中的线条N所示,从第一时刻t1开始,压缩机201的运行频率F突然上升,第一温度T1开始下降,从而将第一时刻t1记为空调器1000进入假除霜模式的时刻。For example, as shown by line N in FIG. 6 , starting from the first time t1 , the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 suddenly rises, and the first temperature T1 begins to decrease. Therefore, the first time t1 is recorded as the air conditioner 1000 entering the false division state. Frost mode moment.
由表1可知,压缩机201的运行频率F对第一温度T1和第二温度T2的影响较大,且室内风机102的转速S对第二温度T2的影响也较大。因此,控制器40可以根据室内风机102的转速S、第二温度T2、第一温度T1和压缩机201的运行频率F,控制空调器1000运行,以避免空调器1000在无霜时除霜以及频繁除霜的现象,从而提高空调器1000的运行稳定性,减少能源耗费。It can be seen from Table 1 that the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 has a great influence on the first temperature T1 and the second temperature T2, and the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102 also has a great impact on the second temperature T2. Therefore, the controller 40 can control the operation of the air conditioner 1000 according to the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102, the second temperature T2, the first temperature T1 and the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 to avoid defrosting of the air conditioner 1000 when there is no frost and Frequent defrosting phenomenon, thereby improving the operational stability of the air conditioner 1000 and reducing energy consumption.
由表1可知,由于压缩机201的运行频率F突然变化必然导致第一温度T1和第二温度T2发生改变。因此,当空调器1000进入假除霜模式时,第一温度T1在一定时间内降低。例如,第(n+1)时刻的第一温度T1(n+1)小于第n时刻的第一温度T1(n)(T1(n+1)<T1(n))。并且,在第一温度T1快速降低的情况下,第二温度T2可能也会发生波动,如,第二温度T2升高或保持不变。在此情况下,第一温差ΔTm1无法反映室外换热器202的实际的结霜情况,因此,控制器40无法准确判断是否满足除霜条件。若控制器40以该第一温度T1的下降确定空调器1000进行除霜,则控制器40的判断失误,空调器1000误进入除霜模式。因此,在假除霜模式下,即使控制器40确定第一温度T1下降,控制器40也无需判断第一温度T1是否满足除霜条件。此时,控制器40控制空调器1000继续保持制热运行,而不进行除霜,从而避免空调器1000误进入除霜模式。对于控制器40控制空调器1000不进行除霜的方法可参见前文的相关描述,此处不再赘述。It can be seen from Table 1 that the sudden change in the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 will inevitably cause the first temperature T1 and the second temperature T2 to change. Therefore, when the air conditioner 1000 enters the false defrost mode, the first temperature T1 decreases within a certain period of time. For example, the first temperature T1(n+1) at the (n+1)th time point is smaller than the first temperature T1(n) at the nth time point (T1(n+1)<T1(n)). Moreover, when the first temperature T1 decreases rapidly, the second temperature T2 may also fluctuate, for example, the second temperature T2 increases or remains unchanged. In this case, the first temperature difference ΔTm1 cannot reflect the actual frosting condition of the outdoor heat exchanger 202. Therefore, the controller 40 cannot accurately determine whether the defrosting condition is met. If the controller 40 determines that the air conditioner 1000 is to be defrosted based on the decrease in the first temperature T1, the controller 40's judgment is incorrect and the air conditioner 1000 enters the defrost mode by mistake. Therefore, in the false defrost mode, even if the controller 40 determines that the first temperature T1 decreases, the controller 40 does not need to determine whether the first temperature T1 meets the defrost condition. At this time, the controller 40 controls the air conditioner 1000 to continue to maintain heating operation without performing defrosting, thereby preventing the air conditioner 1000 from mistakenly entering the defrost mode. For the method for the controller 40 to control the air conditioner 1000 not to perform defrosting, please refer to the relevant descriptions above and will not be described again here.
在步骤55中,确定第一温度T1、第二温度T2和室内风机102的转速S在第三预设时长H3内保持不变,控制空调器1000退出假除霜模式。In step 55, it is determined that the first temperature T1, the second temperature T2 and the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102 remain unchanged within the third preset time period H3, and the air conditioner 1000 is controlled to exit the false defrost mode.
第三预设时长H3大于或等于1min,且小于或等于5min。例如,第三预设时长H3为1min、2min、3min、4min或5min等。需要说明的是,可以根据空调器1000的配置设置第三预设时长H3。The third preset time period H3 is greater than or equal to 1 minute and less than or equal to 5 minutes. For example, the third preset time period H3 is 1 min, 2 min, 3 min, 4 min or 5 min, etc. It should be noted that the third preset time period H3 can be set according to the configuration of the air conditioner 1000 .
例如,如图6中的线条Q所示,在第四时刻t4之后,第一温度T1在第三预设时长 H3内保持不变,从而第一温度T1在下降后上升且趋于稳定。并且,在第一温度T1在第三预设时长H3内保持不变的情况下,第二温度T2和室内风机102的转速S也保持不变。在这种情况下,空调器1000的运行趋于稳定,控制器40可以控制空调器1000退出假除霜模式,进入制热模式。否则,空调器1000未达到稳定状态,控制器40继续周期性获取第一温度T1、第二温度T2和室内风机102的转速S,确定第一温度T1的最小值,并在第一温度T1上升后且第一温度T1稳定之前,控制器40控制空调器1000不进行除霜,以避免空调器1000在无霜时除霜以及频繁除霜的现象,从而提高空调器1000的运行稳定性,减少能源耗费。For example, as shown by line Q in Figure 6, after the fourth time t4, the first temperature T1 is at the third preset time period. H3 remains unchanged, so that the first temperature T1 rises and becomes stable after falling. Moreover, when the first temperature T1 remains unchanged within the third preset time period H3, the second temperature T2 and the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102 also remain unchanged. In this case, the operation of the air conditioner 1000 tends to be stable, and the controller 40 can control the air conditioner 1000 to exit the false defrost mode and enter the heating mode. Otherwise, the air conditioner 1000 has not reached a stable state, and the controller 40 continues to periodically obtain the first temperature T1, the second temperature T2 and the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102, determine the minimum value of the first temperature T1, and increase the temperature when the first temperature T1 Afterwards and before the first temperature T1 stabilizes, the controller 40 controls the air conditioner 1000 not to perform defrosting, so as to avoid defrosting the air conditioner 1000 when there is no frost and frequent defrosting, thereby improving the operating stability of the air conditioner 1000 and reducing Energy consumption.
在本公开一些实施例提供的空调器1000中,对于由压缩机201的运行频率F变化引起第一温度T1和第二温度T2改变的情况,可以通过控制器40控制空调器1000进入假除霜模式,以避免空调器1000频繁除霜或在不存在霜的情况下除霜的现象,从而提高空调器1000的运行稳定性。另外,在控制器40确定空调器1000出现波动并趋于稳定后,控制器40及时控制空调器1000退出假除霜模式,并运行制热模式,可以减少能源耗费。In the air conditioner 1000 provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure, when the first temperature T1 and the second temperature T2 are changed due to changes in the operating frequency F of the compressor 201, the air conditioner 1000 can be controlled by the controller 40 to enter false defrost. mode to avoid frequent defrosting of the air conditioner 1000 or defrosting in the absence of frost, thereby improving the operating stability of the air conditioner 1000.

需要说明的是,控制器40根据第一温度T1和压缩机201的运行频率F确定空调器1000是否进入除霜模式的方法与前文控制器40在步骤14后根据第一温度T1和压缩机201的运行频率F确定空调器1000是否进入除霜模式的方法相同,两者的工作原理和有益效果相对应,因而在此不再赘述。It should be noted that the method in which the controller 40 determines whether the air conditioner 1000 enters the defrost mode based on the first temperature T1 and the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 is the same as the method used by the controller 40 based on the first temperature T1 and the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 after step 14. The method of determining whether the air conditioner 1000 enters the defrost mode is the same as the operating frequency F. The working principles and beneficial effects of the two are corresponding, so they will not be described again here.

图11为根据另一些实施例的空调器的除霜控制方法的一种流程图。以下参考图8和图11对空调器的除霜控制方法做示例性说明。Figure 11 is a flow chart of a defrost control method of an air conditioner according to other embodiments. The defrost control method of the air conditioner will be exemplified below with reference to FIGS. 8 and 11 .
在一些实施例中,如图8所示,该方法包括步骤71至步骤74。In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 8, the method includes steps 71 to 74.

前文主要以控制器40根据压缩机201的运行频率F控制空调器1000进入假除霜模式为例进行说明。当然,在一些实施例中,控制器40也可以通过其他参数控制空调器1000进入假除霜模式。The foregoing description mainly takes the controller 40 controlling the air conditioner 1000 to enter the false defrost mode according to the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 as an example. Of course, in some embodiments, the controller 40 may also control the air conditioner 1000 to enter the false defrost mode through other parameters.
本公开一些实施例还提供了一种空调器。该空调器与上述空调器1000的结构相同。该空调器包括上述室内机10、上述室外机20以及上述控制器40。室外机20包括压缩机201。控制器40被配置为控制所述空调器中的各个部件工作,以实现所述空调器的各个预定功能。Some embodiments of the present disclosure also provide an air conditioner. This air conditioner has the same structure as the air conditioner 1000 described above. This air conditioner includes the above-mentioned indoor unit 10, the above-mentioned outdoor unit 20, and the above-mentioned controller 40. The outdoor unit 20 includes a compressor 201. The controller 40 is configured to control the operation of various components in the air conditioner to implement various predetermined functions of the air conditioner.
图12为根据又一些实施例的空调器中的控制器的一种流程图。如图12所示,控制器40被配置为执行步骤91至步骤95。FIG. 12 is a flow chart of a controller in an air conditioner according to still other embodiments. As shown in FIG. 12 , the controller 40 is configured to perform steps 91 to 95 .
在步骤91中,在空调器1000处于制热模式下,获取设定温度和第三温度T3,以确定 第二温差△Tm2(室内温差)。In step 91, when the air conditioner 1000 is in the heating mode, the set temperature and the third temperature T3 are obtained to determine The second temperature difference ΔTm2 (indoor temperature difference).
所述设定温度、第三温度T3以及第二温差△Tm2可参见前文的相关描述,此处不再赘述。The set temperature, the third temperature T3 and the second temperature difference ΔTm2 can be found in the relevant descriptions above and will not be described again here.
在步骤92中,确定在预设周期G内第二温差△Tm2的增加值大于或等于预设温差阈值B,控制空调器1000进入假除霜模式。In step 92, it is determined that the increase value of the second temperature difference ΔTm2 within the preset period G is greater than or equal to the preset temperature difference threshold B, and the air conditioner 1000 is controlled to enter the false defrost mode.
例如,在第三温度T3无法满足用户需求的情况下,需要升高所述设定温度以升高第三温度T3。然而,在所述设定温度升高,且第三温度T3未升高的情况下,第二温差△Tm2变大。在这种情况下,控制器40控制压缩机201的运行频率增大,以提高空调器1000的制热能力。For example, when the third temperature T3 cannot meet the user's needs, the set temperature needs to be increased to increase the third temperature T3. However, when the set temperature increases and the third temperature T3 does not increase, the second temperature difference ΔTm2 becomes larger. In this case, the controller 40 controls the operating frequency of the compressor 201 to increase to increase the heating capacity of the air conditioner 1000 .
又例如,当空调器1000在制热模式下运行一段时间后,随着第二温差△Tm2变小,压缩机201由高频运行调整至低频运行。当第三温度T3与所述设定温度相同时,空调器1000保持低频运行。在这种情况下,若频繁开窗、开门或者人员进出室内,第三温度T3降低,使得第二温差△Tm2变大。当控制器40确定第二温差△Tm2增大时,控制器40会控制压缩机201的运行频率F增大。这样,第二温差△Tm2增大必然使空调器1000中的部件增加做功。因此,可以以第二温差△Tm2的增大表示需求热量的增加。For another example, when the air conditioner 1000 operates in the heating mode for a period of time, as the second temperature difference ΔTm2 becomes smaller, the compressor 201 adjusts from high-frequency operation to low-frequency operation. When the third temperature T3 is the same as the set temperature, the air conditioner 1000 maintains low-frequency operation. In this case, if windows and doors are opened frequently or people enter and exit the room, the third temperature T3 decreases, causing the second temperature difference ΔTm2 to become larger. When the controller 40 determines that the second temperature difference ΔTm2 increases, the controller 40 controls the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 to increase. In this way, an increase in the second temperature difference ΔTm2 will inevitably increase the work of the components in the air conditioner 1000 . Therefore, the increase in the second temperature difference ΔTm2 can represent an increase in heat demand.
第二温差△Tm2的增大会导致压缩机201的运行频率F的增大,空调器1000短暂出现波动,在短时间内冷媒的流量供应不足,导致蒸发器(如室外换热器202)的压力下降,从而第一温度T1下降,且第一温度T1低于压缩机201高频稳定运行时对应的第一温度T1。在这种情况下,若控制器40按照第一温差ΔTm1和压缩机201的运行时间进行除霜判断,则控制器40可能确定空调器1000满足进入除霜模式的除霜条件,从而控制空调器1000进行除霜。然而,实际上室外换热器202上可能不存在霜或者存在较少的霜。因此若空调器1000在除霜模式下运行,会导致第三温度T3降低,影响空调器1000的制热效果。需要说明的是,第一温度T1可参见前文的相关描述,此处不再赘述。The increase in the second temperature difference ΔTm2 will cause the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 to increase, and the air conditioner 1000 will temporarily fluctuate. In a short period of time, the flow supply of the refrigerant will be insufficient, resulting in the pressure of the evaporator (such as the outdoor heat exchanger 202). decreases, so that the first temperature T1 decreases, and the first temperature T1 is lower than the corresponding first temperature T1 when the compressor 201 operates stably at high frequency. In this case, if the controller 40 makes a defrosting judgment based on the first temperature difference ΔTm1 and the operating time of the compressor 201, the controller 40 may determine that the air conditioner 1000 meets the defrosting conditions to enter the defrost mode, thereby controlling the air conditioner. 1000 for defrosting. However, there may actually be no frost or less frost on the outdoor heat exchanger 202 . Therefore, if the air conditioner 1000 is operated in the defrost mode, the third temperature T3 will be reduced, affecting the heating effect of the air conditioner 1000. It should be noted that, for the first temperature T1, please refer to the previous relevant descriptions and will not be described again here.
又例如,在空调器1000由静音或者睡眠模式转变为低频或低风制热模式,且空调器1000在该模式(低频或低风制热模式)下运行一段时间后,第三温度T3仍然小于所述设定温度,则控制器40控制空调器1000进入高风制热模式。或者,在空调器1000以高风或者强力风模式运行一段时间后,第三温度T3与所述设定温度相同,且空调器1000转变为低风模式运行,室内换热器101的换热能力降低,第二温度T2会升高。在此情况下,电流保护或者室内盘管过载保护可能触发,以使压缩机201降低运行频率F,从而空调器1000在低风模式下运行且压缩机201保持低频运行。这样,在空调器1000运行一段时间后,若调整室内风机102的转速S为高转速,压缩机201的运行频率F会快速升高,第一温度T1会快速降低,使得第一温差ΔTm1满足除霜条件,控制器40控制空调器1000进入除霜模式,导致第三温度T3降低,影响空调器1000的制热效果。For another example, after the air conditioner 1000 changes from the silent or sleep mode to the low frequency or low wind heating mode, and the air conditioner 1000 runs in this mode (low frequency or low wind heating mode) for a period of time, the third temperature T3 is still less than When the temperature is set, the controller 40 controls the air conditioner 1000 to enter the high-wind heating mode. Or, after the air conditioner 1000 has been running in the high wind or strong wind mode for a period of time, the third temperature T3 is the same as the set temperature, and the air conditioner 1000 is switched to the low wind mode. The heat exchange capacity of the indoor heat exchanger 101 decreases, the second temperature T2 will increase. In this case, the current protection or the indoor coil overload protection may be triggered, so that the compressor 201 reduces the operating frequency F, so that the air conditioner 1000 operates in the low wind mode and the compressor 201 maintains low-frequency operation. In this way, after the air conditioner 1000 has been running for a period of time, if the rotational speed S of the indoor fan 102 is adjusted to a high rotational speed, the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 will increase rapidly, and the first temperature T1 will decrease rapidly, so that the first temperature difference ΔTm1 satisfies the requirements except In frost conditions, the controller 40 controls the air conditioner 1000 to enter the defrost mode, causing the third temperature T3 to decrease, affecting the heating effect of the air conditioner 1000.
如图6中的线条N所示,从第一时刻t1开始,第一温度T1从第一子温度T11下降并在第三时刻t3下降至第二子温度T12,此时第一温度T1达到最小值。在此情况下,第四温度T4与第一温度T1(如第二子温度T12)之差可能满足空调器1000进行除霜的条件。然而,第一温度T1的下降是由于压缩机201运行不稳定导致,实际上室外换热器202上可能不存在霜或者存在较少的霜。若空调器1000在除霜模式下运行,则第三温度T3下降,影响空调器1000的制热效果。As shown by line N in Figure 6, starting from the first time t1, the first temperature T1 drops from the first sub-temperature T11 and drops to the second sub-temperature T12 at the third time t3, at which time the first temperature T1 reaches the minimum value. In this case, the difference between the fourth temperature T4 and the first temperature T1 (eg, the second sub-temperature T12 ) may satisfy the condition for the air conditioner 1000 to perform defrosting. However, the decrease in the first temperature T1 is caused by the unstable operation of the compressor 201. In fact, there may be no frost or less frost on the outdoor heat exchanger 202. If the air conditioner 1000 operates in the defrost mode, the third temperature T3 decreases, affecting the heating effect of the air conditioner 1000 .
并且,如图6中的线条N所示,在第三时刻t3后,第一温度T1上升至第三子温度T13,并保持不变。在此情况下,若第四温度T4与第一温度T1(如第三子温度T13)之差未满足空调器1000进行除霜的条件,则空调器1000需要退出除霜模式,并再次在制热模式下运行。此时,空调器1000进行除霜的时间较短,无法达到需求的除霜效果,耗费能源。Moreover, as shown by the line N in FIG. 6 , after the third time t3 , the first temperature T1 rises to the third sub-temperature T13 and remains unchanged. In this case, if the difference between the fourth temperature T4 and the first temperature T1 (such as the third sub-temperature T13) does not meet the conditions for the air conditioner 1000 to defrost, the air conditioner 1000 needs to exit the defrost mode and start the defrosting mode again. Run in hot mode. At this time, the defrosting time of the air conditioner 1000 is short, and the required defrosting effect cannot be achieved, which consumes energy.
为了解决上述问题,在本公开一些实施例中设置预设温差阈值B和预设周期G。In order to solve the above problem, a preset temperature difference threshold B and a preset period G are set in some embodiments of the present disclosure.
预设温差阈值B为预先设定的阈值。预设周期G与前文相关描述中的预设周期G类似,此处不再赘述。需要说明的是,预设周期G作为第二温差△Tm2的检测周期。The preset temperature difference threshold B is a preset threshold. The preset period G is similar to the preset period G in the previous relevant description, and will not be described again here. It should be noted that the preset period G is used as the detection period of the second temperature difference ΔTm2.
第二温差△Tm2的增加值是指第二温差△Tm2在预设周期G内的增加值。例如,将控制器40上一次获取的第二温差△Tm2记为第一室内温差△Tm2(p-1),将控制器40 当前获取的第二温差△Tm2记为第二室内温差△Tm2(p),p≥1。在此情况下,第二温差△Tm2的增加值为第二室内温差△Tm2(p)与第一室内温差△Tm2(p-1)之差。若在预设周期G内第二温差△Tm2的增加值大于预设温差阈值B,则控制器40确定第二温差△Tm2在短时间内快速升高,压缩机201的运行频率F也在短时间内升高。这样,为了防止空调器1000误进行除霜,控制器40可以控制空调器1000进入假除霜模式,然后确定是否控制空调器1000进入除霜模式。这样,可以避免空调器1000在无霜时除霜以及频繁除霜的现象,从而提高空调器1000的运行稳定性,减少能源耗费。The increased value of the second temperature difference ΔTm2 refers to the increased value of the second temperature difference ΔTm2 within the preset period G. For example, the second temperature difference ΔTm2 obtained last time by the controller 40 is recorded as the first indoor temperature difference ΔTm2 (p-1), and the controller 40 The currently obtained second temperature difference ΔTm2 is recorded as the second indoor temperature difference ΔTm2(p), p≥1. In this case, the increase value of the second temperature difference ΔTm2 is the difference between the second indoor temperature difference ΔTm2(p) and the first indoor temperature difference ΔTm2(p-1). If the increase value of the second temperature difference ΔTm2 within the preset period G is greater than the preset temperature difference threshold B, the controller 40 determines that the second temperature difference ΔTm2 increases rapidly in a short period of time, and the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 also increases in a short period of time. rise within time. In this way, in order to prevent the air conditioner 1000 from mistakenly performing defrosting, the controller 40 may control the air conditioner 1000 to enter the false defrost mode, and then determine whether to control the air conditioner 1000 to enter the defrost mode. In this way, defrosting of the air conditioner 1000 when there is no frost and frequent defrosting can be avoided, thereby improving the operating stability of the air conditioner 1000 and reducing energy consumption.
在一些实施例中,预设温差阈值B大于或等于1℃,例如,预设温差阈值B为1℃、2℃、3℃、或4℃等。在空调器1000运行时,第二温差△Tm2可能因各种原因而发生轻微变化。若将预设温差阈值B设置为较小值,则空调器1000可能频繁地进入假除霜模式,影响空调器1000的正常运行。因此,可以将预设温差阈值B设定为大于一定值。可以根据空调器1000的配置预设不同的预设温差阈值B。In some embodiments, the preset temperature difference threshold B is greater than or equal to 1°C. For example, the preset temperature difference threshold B is 1°C, 2°C, 3°C, or 4°C, etc. When the air conditioner 1000 is operating, the second temperature difference ΔTm2 may change slightly due to various reasons. If the preset temperature difference threshold B is set to a smaller value, the air conditioner 1000 may frequently enter the false defrost mode, affecting the normal operation of the air conditioner 1000 . Therefore, the preset temperature difference threshold B can be set to be greater than a certain value. Different preset temperature difference thresholds B may be preset according to the configuration of the air conditioner 1000 .
在步骤93中,在假除霜模式下,获取第一温度T1。In step 93, in the false defrost mode, the first temperature T1 is obtained.
在步骤94中,确定第(n+1)时刻的第一温度T1小于第n时刻的第一温度T1,控制空调器1000继续制热,并控制空调器1000不进行除霜。这里,n为自然数。第n时刻的第一温度T1为T1(n),第(n+1)时刻的第一温度T1为T1(n+1)。In step 94, it is determined that the first temperature T1 at the (n+1)th time is less than the first temperature T1 at the nth time, the air conditioner 1000 is controlled to continue heating, and the air conditioner 1000 is controlled not to perform defrosting. Here, n is a natural number. The first temperature T1 at the nth time is T1(n), and the first temperature T1 at the (n+1)th time is T1(n+1).
由表1可知,当第二温差△Tm2变化时,压缩机201的运行频率F也会发生改变,从而第一温度T1改变。因此,当空调器100进入假除霜模式时,第一温度T1在一定时间内降低。也就是说,第(n+1)时刻的第一温度T1(n+1)小于第n时刻的第一温度T1(n)(T1(n+1)<T1(n))。例如,如图6中的线条N所示,从第一时刻t1开始,压缩机201的运行频率F突然上升,第一温度T1开始下降,从而将第一时刻t1记为空调器1000进入假除霜模式的时刻。It can be seen from Table 1 that when the second temperature difference ΔTm2 changes, the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 will also change, so that the first temperature T1 changes. Therefore, when the air conditioner 100 enters the false defrost mode, the first temperature T1 decreases within a certain period of time. That is to say, the first temperature T1(n+1) at the (n+1)th time is smaller than the first temperature T1(n) at the nth time (T1(n+1)<T1(n)). For example, as shown by line N in FIG. 6 , starting from the first time t1 , the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 suddenly rises, and the first temperature T1 begins to decrease. Therefore, the first time t1 is recorded as the air conditioner 1000 entering the false division state. Frost mode moment.
由表1可知,当压缩机201的运行频率F提高时,第一温度T1快速下降。在此情况下,第一温差ΔTm1无法反映室外换热器202的实际的结霜情况,因此,控制器40无法准确判断第一温差ΔTm1是否满足除霜条件。若控制器40以第一温度T1的下降确定空调器1000进行除霜,则控制器40的判断失误,空调器1000误进入除霜模式。It can be seen from Table 1 that when the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 increases, the first temperature T1 decreases rapidly. In this case, the first temperature difference ΔTm1 cannot reflect the actual frosting condition of the outdoor heat exchanger 202. Therefore, the controller 40 cannot accurately determine whether the first temperature difference ΔTm1 meets the defrosting condition. If the controller 40 determines that the air conditioner 1000 is to be defrosted based on the decrease in the first temperature T1, the controller 40's judgment is incorrect and the air conditioner 1000 enters the defrost mode by mistake.
因此,在假除霜模式下,即使控制器40确定第一温度T1下降,控制器40也无需判断第一温度T1是否满足除霜条件。此时,控制器40控制空调器1000继续保持制热运行,而不进行除霜,从而避免空调器1000误进入除霜模式。Therefore, in the false defrost mode, even if the controller 40 determines that the first temperature T1 decreases, the controller 40 does not need to determine whether the first temperature T1 meets the defrost condition. At this time, the controller 40 controls the air conditioner 1000 to continue to maintain heating operation without performing defrosting, thereby preventing the air conditioner 1000 from mistakenly entering the defrost mode.
对于控制器40确定空调器1000进行除霜模式的过程和控制器40限定第四温度T4的方法可参见前文的相关描述,此处不再赘述。For the process of the controller 40 determining that the air conditioner 1000 is in the defrost mode and the method of the controller 40 defining the fourth temperature T4, please refer to the relevant descriptions above, and will not be described again here.
在步骤95中,在空调器1000在假除霜模式下运行时间达到第四预设时长H4之前,确定第一温度T1、第二温度T2和室内风机102的转速S在第三预设时长H3内保持不变,控制空调器1000退出假除霜模式。所述第三预设时长H3小于或等于第四预设时长H4。In step 95, before the operating time of the air conditioner 1000 in the false defrost mode reaches the fourth preset time period H4, it is determined that the first temperature T1, the second temperature T2 and the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102 are within the third preset time period H3. The temperature remains unchanged, and the air conditioner 1000 is controlled to exit the false defrost mode. The third preset time length H3 is less than or equal to the fourth preset time length H4.
对于第三预设时长H3可参见前文的相关描述,此处不再赘述。For the third preset duration H3, please refer to the relevant descriptions mentioned above and will not be described again here.
在一些实施例中,第四预设时长H4大于或等于5min。例如,第四预设时长H4为5min、5.5min或6min等。In some embodiments, the fourth preset time period H4 is greater than or equal to 5 minutes. For example, the fourth preset time period H4 is 5 minutes, 5.5 minutes or 6 minutes, etc.
当压缩机201的运行频率F达到最高频率时,即使第二温差△Tm2增大,压缩机201的运行频率F也不发生改变。在此情况下,若第一温度T1因室外换热器202上有霜而下降,则第一温度T1不会先下降后上升。这样,第一温度T1无法在第三预设时长H3内保持不变。若第一温度T1因压缩机201的运行频率F升高而下降,则在短时间内第一温度T1下降然后上升并保持不变。因此,通过设定第四预设时长H4,可以在第四预设时长H4内确定第一温度T1下降后的变化情况。这样,当控制器40确定第二温度T2和第一温度T1在第三预设时长H3内保持不变时,第二温度T2和第一温度T1分别趋于稳定,从而空调器1000的运行稳定。在此情况下,若控制器40确定室内风机102的转速S也在第三预设时长H3内保持不变,则控制器40可以控制空调器1000退出假除霜模式,并在制热模式下运行,以进行除霜模式的判断。此时,控制器40对第四温度T4的限定已在退出假除霜模式后取消。 When the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 reaches the highest frequency, even if the second temperature difference ΔTm2 increases, the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 does not change. In this case, if the first temperature T1 drops due to frost on the outdoor heat exchanger 202, the first temperature T1 will not first drop and then rise. In this way, the first temperature T1 cannot remain unchanged within the third preset time period H3. If the first temperature T1 decreases due to an increase in the operating frequency F of the compressor 201, the first temperature T1 decreases in a short period of time and then increases and remains unchanged. Therefore, by setting the fourth preset time period H4, the change of the first temperature T1 after it drops can be determined within the fourth preset time period H4. In this way, when the controller 40 determines that the second temperature T2 and the first temperature T1 remain unchanged within the third preset time period H3, the second temperature T2 and the first temperature T1 tend to be stable respectively, so that the operation of the air conditioner 1000 is stable. . In this case, if the controller 40 determines that the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102 also remains unchanged within the third preset time period H3, the controller 40 can control the air conditioner 1000 to exit the false defrost mode and operate in the heating mode. Run to judge the defrost mode. At this time, the limit of the fourth temperature T4 by the controller 40 has been canceled after exiting the false defrost mode.
例如,如图6中的线条Q所示,在第七时刻t7后,第一温度T1趋于稳定,或者,如图6中的线条N所示,在第六时刻t6后,第一温度T1趋于稳定,控制器40控制空调器1000退出假除霜模式。For example, as shown by the line Q in Figure 6, after the seventh time t7, the first temperature T1 tends to be stable, or, as shown by the line N in Figure 6, after the sixth time t6, the first temperature T1 When it becomes stable, the controller 40 controls the air conditioner 1000 to exit the false defrost mode.
在本公开一些实施例提供的空调器1000中,控制器40根据第二温差△Tm2的变化趋势控制空调器1000进入假除霜模式,可以避免空调器1000频繁除霜或在不存在霜的情况下除霜的现象。In the air conditioner 1000 provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure, the controller 40 controls the air conditioner 1000 to enter the false defrost mode according to the changing trend of the second temperature difference ΔTm2, which can avoid frequent defrosting of the air conditioner 1000 or in the absence of frost. defrost phenomenon.
在一些实施例中,控制器40所执行的步骤94包括:连续第一预设次数地确定第(n+1)时刻的第一温度T1小于第n时刻的第一温度T1,控制空调器1000继续制热,并控制空调器1000不进行除霜。In some embodiments, step 94 performed by the controller 40 includes: determining for a first preset number of times that the first temperature T1 at the (n+1)th moment is less than the first temperature T1 at the nth moment, and controlling the air conditioner 1000 Heating is continued, and the air conditioner 1000 is controlled not to perform defrosting.
需要说明的是,第一预设次数可参见前文的相关描述,此处不再赘述。另外,控制器40所执行步骤94包括的内容与前文控制器40所执行的步骤14包括的内容相同,两者的工作原理和有益效果相对应,因而在此不再赘述。It should be noted that the first preset number of times can be found in the previous relevant descriptions and will not be described again here. In addition, the content included in step 94 executed by the controller 40 is the same as the content included in the foregoing step 14 executed by the controller 40. The working principles and beneficial effects of the two correspond to each other, so they will not be described again here.
在一些实施例中,控制器40所执行的步骤91包括:确定空调器1000在制热模式下的运行时间达到第五预设时长H5,确定空调器1000处于制热模式。In some embodiments, step 91 performed by the controller 40 includes: determining that the operating time of the air conditioner 1000 in the heating mode reaches the fifth preset time length H5, and determining that the air conditioner 1000 is in the heating mode.
在一些实施例中,第五预设时长H5大于或等于20min。例如,第五预设时长H5为20min、21min或22min等。In some embodiments, the fifth preset time period H5 is greater than or equal to 20 minutes. For example, the fifth preset time period H5 is 20min, 21min or 22min, etc.
通常压缩机201开始运行20min后,压缩机201的运行频率F稳定,从而空调器1000整体运行平稳。若压缩机201开始运行后其运行时间小于20min,则压缩机201的运行频率F波动较大,获取的数据变化较大容易影响判断结果的准确性。因此,需要压缩机201启动后的持续运行时间大于或等于20min。也就是说,第五预设时长H5大于或等于20min。Usually, 20 minutes after the compressor 201 starts operating, the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 becomes stable, so that the overall operation of the air conditioner 1000 is stable. If the operating time of the compressor 201 is less than 20 minutes after it starts operating, the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 will fluctuate greatly, and the acquired data will change greatly and easily affect the accuracy of the judgment results. Therefore, the continuous running time of the compressor 201 after starting is required to be greater than or equal to 20 minutes. That is to say, the fifth preset time period H5 is greater than or equal to 20 minutes.
图13为根据又一些实施例的空调器中的控制器的另一种流程图。当然,本公开一些实施例对于假除霜模式的进入条件并不局限于第二温差△Tm2。在一些实施例中,如图13所示,控制器40所执行的步骤91和步骤92可被替换为步骤91'和步骤92'。FIG. 13 is another flowchart of a controller in an air conditioner according to further embodiments. Of course, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the conditions for entering the false defrost mode are not limited to the second temperature difference ΔTm2. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 13 , steps 91 and 92 performed by the controller 40 may be replaced by steps 91 ′ and 92 ′.
在步骤91'中,在空调器1000处于制热模式下,获取室内风机102的转速S。In step 91', when the air conditioner 1000 is in the heating mode, the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102 is obtained.
在步骤92'中,确定在预设周期G内室内风机102的转速S的增加值△S大于或等于预设转速值C,控制空调器1000进入假除霜模式。In step 92', it is determined that the increase value ΔS of the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102 within the preset period G is greater than or equal to the preset rotation speed value C, and the air conditioner 1000 is controlled to enter the false defrost mode.
当室内风机102的转速S发生变化时,空调器1000发生波动。例如,当用户要求空调器1000提高制热效果时,可以通过增大室内风机102的转速S以满足制热需求。例如,当空调器1000提高室内机10的出风量,或者空调器1000由睡眠或者静音模式转变为制热模式时,室内风机102的转速S增大。由表1可知,室内风机102的转速S对第一温度T1的影响较大。因此,根据室内风机102的转速S,控制空调器1000,可以避免空调器1000在无霜时除霜以及频繁除霜的情况,提高空调器1000的运行稳定性,减小能源耗费。When the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102 changes, the air conditioner 1000 fluctuates. For example, when the user requires the air conditioner 1000 to improve the heating effect, the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102 can be increased to meet the heating demand. For example, when the air conditioner 1000 increases the air output volume of the indoor unit 10, or when the air conditioner 1000 transitions from the sleep or silent mode to the heating mode, the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102 increases. It can be seen from Table 1 that the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102 has a great influence on the first temperature T1. Therefore, controlling the air conditioner 1000 according to the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102 can avoid defrosting of the air conditioner 1000 when there is no frost and frequent defrost, improve the operating stability of the air conditioner 1000, and reduce energy consumption.
因此,在本公开一些实施例中设置预设转速值C和预设周期G。Therefore, the preset rotation speed value C and the preset period G are set in some embodiments of the present disclosure.
预设转速值C为预先设定的阈值。预设周期G与前文相关描述中的预设周期G类似,此处不再赘述。需要说明的是,这里的预设周期G作为室内风机102的转速S的检测周期。The preset rotation speed value C is a preset threshold. The preset period G is similar to the preset period G in the previous relevant description, and will not be described again here. It should be noted that the preset period G here serves as the detection period of the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102 .
室内风机102的转速S的增加值△S指室内风机102的转速S在预设周期G内的增加值。当空调器1000在正常运行时,室内风机102的转速S可能由于各种原因发生波动。例如,将上一次控制器40获取的室内风机102的转速S记为第一转速S(q-1),将当前控制器40获取的室内风机102的转速S记为第二转速S(q),且q≥1。在此情况下,室内风机102的转速S的增加值△S为第二转速S(n)与第一转速S(n-1)之差(即,△S=S(n)-S(n-1))。若在预设周期G内确定室内风机102的转速S的增加值△S大于或等于预设转速值C,则控制器40确定室内风机102的转速S在短时间内快速升高,导致空调器1000发生波动。这样,为了防止空调器1000误进行除霜,控制器40可以控制空调器1000进入假除霜模式,然后确定是否控制空调器1000进入除霜模式。这样,可以避免空调器1000在无霜时除霜以及频繁除霜的情况,提高空调器1000的运行稳定性,减少能耗。The increase value ΔS of the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102 refers to the increase value of the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102 within the preset period G. When the air conditioner 1000 is operating normally, the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102 may fluctuate due to various reasons. For example, the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102 obtained by the controller 40 last time is recorded as the first rotation speed S (q-1), and the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102 obtained by the controller 40 currently is recorded as the second rotation speed S (q). , and q≥1. In this case, the increase value ΔS of the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102 is the difference between the second rotation speed S(n) and the first rotation speed S(n-1) (ie, ΔS=S(n)-S(n) -1)). If it is determined that the increase value ΔS of the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102 is greater than or equal to the preset rotation speed value C within the preset period G, the controller 40 determines that the rotation speed S of the indoor fan 102 increases rapidly in a short period of time, causing the air conditioner to 1000 fluctuates. In this way, in order to prevent the air conditioner 1000 from mistakenly performing defrosting, the controller 40 may control the air conditioner 1000 to enter the false defrost mode, and then determine whether to control the air conditioner 1000 to enter the defrost mode. In this way, defrosting of the air conditioner 1000 when there is no frost or frequent defrosting can be avoided, the operation stability of the air conditioner 1000 can be improved, and energy consumption can be reduced.
在一些实施例中,预设转速值C大于或等于50r/min。例如,预设转速值C为50r/min、60r/min或70r/min。若将预设转速值C设置为较小值,则空调器1000可能频繁进入假除霜模式,影响空调器1000的正常运行。因此,可以将预设转速值C设定为大于一定值。 需要说明的是,预设转速值C为根据实验预设的转速值。In some embodiments, the preset rotation speed value C is greater than or equal to 50 r/min. For example, the preset rotation speed value C is 50r/min, 60r/min or 70r/min. If the preset rotation speed value C is set to a smaller value, the air conditioner 1000 may frequently enter the false defrost mode, affecting the normal operation of the air conditioner 1000 . Therefore, the preset rotation speed value C can be set to be greater than a certain value. It should be noted that the preset rotation speed value C is a rotation speed value preset based on experiments.
在一些实施例中,在步骤92或92'后(即在控制器40控制空调器1000进入假除霜模式后),控制器40还被配置为:从空调器1000进入假除霜模式开始,若连续多次确定第一温度T1未下降,控制空调器1000退出所述假除霜模式。In some embodiments, after step 92 or 92' (that is, after the controller 40 controls the air conditioner 1000 to enter the pseudo defrost mode), the controller 40 is further configured to: starting from the air conditioner 1000 entering the pseudo defrost mode, If it is determined that the first temperature T1 has not dropped for several consecutive times, the air conditioner 1000 is controlled to exit the false defrost mode.
由于压缩机201的运行频率F突然升高必然导致第一温度T1降低,因此,若从进入假除霜模式开始,控制器40连续多次确定第一温度T1未下降,则压缩机201的运行频率F并没有降低。例如,在假除霜模式下,当压缩机201的运行频率F已达到最高频率时,即使第二温差△Tm2突然增大,压缩机201的运行频率F也会保持不变。也就是说,压缩机201仍在最高频率下运行。在此情况下,第一温度T1保持不变,室外换热器202上无霜或者存在较少的霜。此时,控制器40可以控制空调器1000直接退出假除霜模式,以制热模式运行。例如,若确定第(n+1)时刻的第一温度T1小于第n时刻的第一温度T1的次数未达到第一预设次数,则压缩机201的运行频率F已是最高频率。在此情况下,虽然设定温度和第三温度T3之间的第二温差△Tm2增大,但实际上压缩机201的运行频率F保持不变并没有降低,从而第一温度T1也保持不变。因此,控制器40控制空调器1000退出假除霜模式并运行制热模式。Since the sudden increase in the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 will inevitably lead to a decrease in the first temperature T1, therefore, if the controller 40 determines that the first temperature T1 has not decreased multiple times since entering the false defrost mode, the operation of the compressor 201 The frequency F does not decrease. For example, in the false defrost mode, when the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 has reached the highest frequency, even if the second temperature difference ΔTm2 suddenly increases, the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 will remain unchanged. That is, the compressor 201 is still operating at the highest frequency. In this case, the first temperature T1 remains unchanged, and there is no frost or less frost on the outdoor heat exchanger 202 . At this time, the controller 40 can control the air conditioner 1000 to directly exit the false defrost mode and operate in the heating mode. For example, if it is determined that the number of times that the first temperature T1 at the (n+1)th time is smaller than the first temperature T1 at the nth time does not reach the first preset number, the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 is already the highest frequency. In this case, although the second temperature difference ΔTm2 between the set temperature and the third temperature T3 increases, the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 actually remains unchanged and does not decrease, so the first temperature T1 also remains unchanged. Change. Therefore, the controller 40 controls the air conditioner 1000 to exit the false defrost mode and operate the heating mode.
在一些实施例中,在步骤94之后,控制器40还被配置为:在确定空调器1000进入假除霜模式的运行时间大于第四预设时长H4后,确定第(m+1)时刻的第一温度T1小于第m时刻的第一温度T1,控制空调器1000退出假除霜模式。m为自然数,m大于n。In some embodiments, after step 94 , the controller 40 is further configured to: after determining that the operating time of the air conditioner 1000 entering the false defrost mode is greater than the fourth preset time period H4 , determine the (m+1)th moment. The first temperature T1 is less than the first temperature T1 at the m-th moment, and the air conditioner 1000 is controlled to exit the false defrost mode. m is a natural number, m is greater than n.
将第(m+1)时刻的第一温度T1记为T1(m+1),第m时刻的第一温度T1记为T1(m)。例如,在空调器1000在假除霜模式下的运行时间超过第四预设时长H4后,若第一温度T1变化,且第(m+1)时刻的第一温度T1(m+1)小于第m时刻的第一温度T1(m)(即,T1(m+1)<T1(m)),则第一温度T1降低,从而压缩机201的运行频率F已是最高频率,压缩机201的运行频率F未升高。在此情况下,导致第一温度T1下降的原因是由于室外换热器202结霜。这样,控制器40可以控制空调器1000退出假除霜模式,并进入制热模式运行,以进行空调器1000是否除霜的判断。Let the first temperature T1 at the (m+1)th moment be denoted as T1(m+1), and the first temperature T1 at the mth moment be denoted as T1(m). For example, after the operating time of the air conditioner 1000 in the false defrost mode exceeds the fourth preset time period H4, if the first temperature T1 changes, and the first temperature T1(m+1) at the (m+1)th moment is less than At the first temperature T1(m) at the m-th moment (that is, T1(m+1)<T1(m)), the first temperature T1 decreases, so the operating frequency F of the compressor 201 is already the highest frequency. The compressor 201 The operating frequency F has not increased. In this case, the cause of the decrease in the first temperature T1 is frost on the outdoor heat exchanger 202 . In this way, the controller 40 can control the air conditioner 1000 to exit the false defrost mode and enter the heating mode to determine whether the air conditioner 1000 is defrosted.
