Detailed Description

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below, the embodiments described with reference to the drawings being illustrative, and the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below.

The air conditioner performs functions such as refrigeration/heating circulation or dehumidification through the compressor, the condenser, the expansion valve and the evaporator, can realize the regulation of the indoor environment, and improves the comfort of the indoor environment. The refrigeration cycle includes a series of processes, for example, involving compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation, and supplies refrigerant to the air that has been conditioned and heat-exchanged.

The compressor compresses a refrigerant gas in a high temperature and high pressure state and discharges the compressed refrigerant gas, the discharged refrigerant gas flows into a condenser, the condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid state, and heat is released to the surrounding environment through a condensation process.

The expansion valve expands the liquid-phase refrigerant in a high-temperature and high-pressure state condensed in the condenser into a low-pressure liquid-phase refrigerant. The evaporator evaporates the refrigerant expanded in the expansion valve and returns the refrigerant gas in a low-temperature and low-pressure state to the compressor. The evaporator can achieve a cooling effect by heat-exchanging with a material to be cooled using latent heat of evaporation of a refrigerant. The air conditioner can adjust the temperature of the indoor space throughout the cycle.

In the related art, the operation of the compressor is usually controlled by a detected temperature value during the operation of the air conditioner, but this method needs communication between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit, so that the speed of the air conditioning system for adjusting the indoor temperature is slow.

In order to solve the above problems, a first embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, which controls a compressor by detecting a suction pressure value of the compressor on an outdoor unit side and a current operating frequency of the compressor, so as to meet a user's requirement for an indoor temperature and increase a temperature adjustment speed without communication between an indoor unit and an outdoor unit.

The method for controlling an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, and as shown in fig. 1, the method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes at least steps S1 to S3.

In step S1, the air conditioner operation cooling mode is detected.

In an embodiment, a user may operate the air conditioner to operate the cooling mode through a remote controller, an air conditioner APP (Application program) in the mobile terminal, or an operation panel on a body of the air conditioner in a manner of language, gesture, or the like, or may operate the cooling mode by default when the air conditioner is turned on. For example, when the user turns on the air conditioner, the user manually selects a required cooling mode according to actual requirements; or when the user starts the air conditioner, the user does not receive an instruction for selecting a required operation mode, at this time, the air conditioner selects a default operation refrigeration mode, the default operation refrigeration mode is a preset or last operation mode recorded by the air conditioner, namely, after the air conditioner is started, the default operation mode is the refrigeration mode.

And step S2, acquiring the suction pressure value of the compressor and the current operating frequency of the compressor.

In an embodiment, a pressure sensor may be disposed at the suction port of the compressor to collect the suction pressure value of the compressor in real time, which may be denoted as Ps, for example, and the sensor transmits the collected data to an outdoor unit controller of the air conditioner. And, the outdoor unit controller of the air conditioner can monitor the compressor to obtain the operating frequency of the compressor in real time.

And step S3, controlling the operation state of the compressor according to the suction pressure value of the compressor and the current operation frequency of the compressor.

In the embodiment, in the refrigeration mode, different indoor environment temperatures correspond to different low-pressure pressures, an outdoor unit controller of the air conditioner can automatically dial and set the low-pressure corresponding to the target environment temperature according to the target environment temperature set by a user, the low-pressure serving as a starting set pressure value can be recorded as Psh, for example, based on the low-pressure, the embodiment of the invention judges the change of the pressure according to the real-time detected compressor suction pressure value Ps, controls the running state of the compressor by combining with the real-time monitored current running frequency of the compressor, and gradually stabilizes the compressor suction pressure value Ps at the starting set pressure value Psh to enable the temperature of the corresponding indoor environment to reach the target environment temperature so as to meet the requirement of the user on the indoor environment temperature, so that the method of the embodiment of the invention can achieve the purpose of adjusting the indoor environment temperature by detecting the state parameters of the outdoor unit side, namely the compressor suction pressure value Ps and the current running frequency of the compressor And the indoor unit side does not need to communicate with the indoor unit side, so that the indoor temperature adjusting speed is increased.

In addition, compared with the mode of controlling the operation of the compressor by using the detected temperature value, the embodiment of the invention can also improve the accuracy of the frequency control of the compressor and improve the reliability of the operation of the compressor by using the monitored suction pressure value Ps of the compressor and the current operation frequency of the compressor to control the operation state of the compressor.

According to the method for controlling the air conditioner, the compressor suction pressure value and the current running frequency of the compressor on the outdoor unit side are detected in real time in the refrigeration mode, and the running state of the compressor is controlled according to the compressor suction pressure value and the current running frequency of the compressor, so that the compressor can be controlled under the condition that the indoor unit and the outdoor unit do not need to communicate, the requirement of a user on indoor temperature is met, the temperature adjusting speed is increased, and compared with a mode of controlling the running of the compressor according to the detected temperature value, the method for controlling the air conditioner controls the running state of the compressor according to the monitored compressor suction pressure value Ps, and the accuracy of controlling the frequency of the compressor can also be improved.

In some embodiments, if it is determined that the compressor suction pressure value Ps is greater than the first preset pressure threshold, it indicates that the temperature of the indoor environment does not reach the target environment temperature set by the user, and meanwhile, if it is determined that the current operation frequency of the compressor is less than the maximum allowable operation frequency of the compressor, the compressor suction pressure value Ps is reduced by controlling the compressor to increase the frequency, and the temperature of the indoor environment is reduced, so as to meet the user requirement on the indoor environment temperature.

The first preset pressure threshold is the sum of the startup set pressure value Psh and the preset pressure threshold. The preset pressure threshold is an allowable deviation value between the first preset pressure threshold and the startup set pressure value, and the preset pressure threshold may be preset according to an actual situation, which is not limited to this.

Or, if it is determined that the suction pressure value Ps of the compressor is greater than the first preset pressure threshold, it indicates that the temperature of the indoor environment does not reach the target environment temperature set by the user, but at the same time, if it is determined that the current operating frequency of the compressor reaches the maximum allowable operating frequency of the compressor, the compressor is controlled to operate at the current operating frequency of the compressor, that is, the compressor is controlled to operate at the maintained frequency, so that the temperature of the indoor environment can be reduced, the requirement of the user on the temperature of the indoor environment can be met, the compressor can be prevented from operating at the ultrahigh frequency, and the reliability of the operation of the compressor can be improved.

In some embodiments, if it is determined that the compressor suction pressure value Ps is smaller than the first preset pressure threshold and larger than the second preset pressure threshold, it indicates that the temperature of the indoor environment reaches the target environment temperature set by the user, and therefore, the compressor is controlled to operate at the current operating frequency of the compressor to maintain the temperature of the indoor environment, so as to meet the user requirement on the indoor environment temperature. The first preset pressure threshold value is the sum of the startup set pressure value Psh and the preset pressure threshold value, and the second preset pressure threshold value is the difference between the startup set pressure value Psh and the preset pressure threshold value.

In some embodiments, if it is determined that the compressor suction pressure value Ps is less than the second preset pressure threshold and is greater than the suction pressure stop value, which may be written as Psl, for example, it indicates that the temperature of the indoor environment is lower than the target environment temperature set by the user, and meanwhile, if it is determined that the current operating frequency of the compressor is greater than the minimum allowable operating frequency of the compressor, the compressor is controlled to reduce the frequency to increase the compressor suction pressure value Ps and raise the temperature of the indoor environment, so as to meet the user demand for the indoor environment temperature.

Or, if it is determined that the suction pressure value Ps of the compressor is smaller than the second preset pressure threshold and larger than the suction pressure shutdown value Psl, it indicates that the temperature of the indoor environment is lower than the target environment temperature set by the user, but at the same time, if it is determined that the current operating frequency of the compressor reaches the lowest allowable operating frequency of the compressor, the compressor is controlled to operate at the current operating frequency of the compressor, that is, the compressor is controlled to operate at the maintained frequency, so that the temperature of the indoor environment can be increased, the requirement of the user on the temperature of the indoor environment can be met, the compressor can be prevented from operating at an ultra-low frequency.

In some embodiments, if it is determined that the suction pressure value Ps of the compressor is less than the suction pressure shutdown value Psl, it indicates that the low pressure in the air conditioning system meets the requirement of low pressure protection, and therefore, the compressor needs to be controlled to stop operating in order to ensure normal and reliable operation of the air conditioner.

In some embodiments, for the air conditioner matched with the commercial refrigerator at the indoor machine side, the air conditioner is usually in an operating state all day long, and in order to ensure the reliability of the compressor, in the embodiments of the invention, a liquid injection electronic expansion valve is arranged between the compressor and an outdoor heat exchanger, and a pressure relief electromagnetic valve is arranged, so that the liquid injection cooling effect is realized when the compressor operates at a high temperature.

Specifically, the exhaust temperature of the compressor is obtained and recorded as T, for example, a temperature sensor may be arranged at an exhaust port of the compressor to detect the exhaust temperature T of the compressor in real time, and when it is determined that the exhaust temperature T of the compressor is greater than a first preset temperature threshold and the compressor is in an operating state, the electronic liquid injection expansion valve is controlled to be opened to cool the compressor by injecting liquid, so that the compressor is prevented from operating at a high temperature, and the reliability of the compressor is improved; or when the exhaust temperature T of the compressor is determined to be less than the second preset temperature threshold value or the compressor is in a stop operation state, the compressor does not operate at a high temperature, liquid injection cooling on the compressor is not needed, and therefore the liquid injection electronic expansion valve is controlled to be closed. That is to say, in the embodiment of the present invention, the liquid spraying circulation system in the air conditioner is controlled by the on-off state of the liquid spraying electronic expansion valve, and the liquid spraying amount is adjusted by adjusting the opening degree of the liquid spraying electronic expansion valve, so that the requirement of the compressor for cooling the sprayed liquid can be met without arranging an electromagnetic valve, and the reliability of the compressor is improved.

The first preset temperature threshold is larger than the second preset temperature threshold.

In some embodiments, the air conditioner matched with the commercial refrigerator at the indoor unit side is usually in an operating state all day long, and in order to ensure the reliability of the compressor, the embodiment of the invention is provided with the pressure relief electromagnetic valve between the air outlet and the air inlet of the compressor so as to play a role in balancing high and low pressure in the system when the air conditioner is started to operate.

Specifically, before obtaining a suction pressure value of the compressor and a current operation frequency of the compressor, the compressor is decompressed by controlling the decompression electromagnetic valve to be opened, and after a first preset time, the decompression electromagnetic valve is controlled to be closed, and the compressor is controlled to operate to an initial operation frequency, for example, the compressor is controlled to operate to a lowest allowable operation frequency of the compressor.

For example, before the compressor is started every time, the pressure relief electromagnetic valve needs to be controlled to be opened to relieve the pressure of the compressor, so that the problem that the compressor blocks a cylinder body due to large high-low pressure difference and overlarge torque when the compressor is started is solved, the pressure in the air conditioning system is balanced after a first preset time of 30s, the pressure relief electromagnetic valve is controlled to be closed at the moment, and the compressor starts to operate, so that the reliability of the compressor is further improved.

A method for controlling an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 2 and 3, and the specific steps are as follows.

And step S4, turning ON a unit operation switch, namely starting the air conditioner to run.

In step S5, the compressor suction pressure value Ps is read.

In step S6, it is determined that Ps > Psh +0.07MPa, i.e., the preset pressure threshold is set to 0.07MPa, step S7 is performed.

And step S7, controlling the frequency of the compressor to be increased when the current running frequency of the compressor is less than the maximum allowable running frequency of the compressor, such as 95 HZ.

And step S8, controlling the compressor to operate at the current operating frequency of the compressor, namely, the compressor is operated at the 95HZ frequency.

Step S9, determining Psh-0.07MPa < Ps < Psh +0.07MPa, executing step S10.

In step S10, the compressor is operated at the current operating frequency of the compressor, i.e., the compressor is operated with the current operating frequency maintained stable.

Step S11, determining that Psl < Ps < Psh-0.07MPa, executing step S12.

And step S12, controlling the compressor to reduce the frequency when the current running frequency of the compressor is greater than the lowest allowable running frequency of the compressor, such as 30 HZ.

And step S13, determining that the current running frequency of the compressor reaches the lowest allowable running frequency of the compressor, such as 30HZ, and controlling the compressor to run at the current running frequency of the compressor, namely, the compressor keeps running at the 30HZ frequency.

In step S14, if Ps < Psl is determined, step S15 is performed.

And step S15, controlling the compressor to stop running.

In step S16, the compressor discharge temperature T is read.

Step S17, judge T >95 ℃. If yes, go to step S18; if not, go to step S16.

And step S18, controlling the opening of the liquid spraying electronic expansion valve.
