The dehumidification principle of the air conditioner is as follows: when the air conditioner refrigerates, the surface temperature of the coil pipe of the indoor heat exchanger is low, and water vapor in indoor air flowing through the indoor heat exchanger is liquefied when meeting cold, so that condensed water is formed and discharged to the outdoor environment. When the air conditioner refrigerates, only when the temperature of the coil pipe of the indoor heat exchanger is lower than the dew point temperature, the water vapor flowing through the indoor heat exchanger can be liquefied into condensed water, and at the moment, dehumidification can be carried out. And the dew point temperature of the indoor air is different corresponding to different relative humidity under the same indoor temperature condition. The higher the relative humidity, the higher the corresponding dew point temperature.

In addition, the first preset time may be 3min, 5min, 7min, and the like, and is not particularly limited herein. However, in order to ensure the reliability and stability of the dehumidification operation of the air conditioner, it is preferable that the first preset time is greater than or equal to 5min, and when the first preset time is less than 5min, the switching speed of the cooling and heating of the air conditioner is too fast in the operation process, the frequency change speed of the compressor is too fast, and the reliability and stability of the dehumidification operation of the air conditioner are low.
Furthermore, the first predetermined unit value may be 1 ℃, 0.8 ℃, 0.5 ℃ or the like, and is not particularly limited herein.
Specifically, step S5 includes the following steps:
s51, the control unit controls the air conditioner to carry out refrigeration operation and enables the initial operation frequency of the compressor to be F01;
S52, after the indoor heat exchanger continuously runs for a second preset time, the inner disc temperature sensor detects the temperature T of the coil pipe of the indoor heat exchangerP;
S53, if TP≥T1-a first preset unit value, increasing the current operating frequency of the compressor by a first preset frequency; if TP<T1-a first preset unit value, keeping the operating frequency of the compressor constant.
The second preset time is less than the first preset time, and the second preset time may be 3min, 5min, 7min, and the like, which is not limited herein. However, in order to ensure reliability and stability of the dehumidifying operation of the air conditioner, it is preferable that the second preset time is greater than or equal to 5 min.
In addition, the first preset frequency is determined by experiments, and the value of the first preset frequency is not particularly limited herein.
Further, F01However, in order to reasonably control the operating frequency of the compressor to reduce the fluctuation range of the indoor temperature, it is preferable to determine the operating frequency of the compressor according to the temperature difference △ T under the current state, specifically, F01Positively correlated with the temperature difference △ T, thereby based on the temperature difference△ T defines the dehumidification operating frequency F of the compressor01So as to avoid the condition that the fluctuation range of the indoor temperature is large due to the overlarge or the undersize running frequency of the compressor.
If the temperature difference △ T is within the predetermined temperature difference range, and R is within the predetermined temperature difference rangehIf the temperature and the humidity of the room are lower than the first preset humidity, both the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity satisfy the conditions, and at this time, the air conditioner may perform operations such as shutdown, heating operation, and cooling operation, which are not specifically limited herein. When the minimum value in the preset temperature difference range is greater than or equal to 0, after step S4, if R is greater than or equal to 0hIt is preferable that the air conditioner performs an operation of cooling operation to lower the indoor temperature to be closer to the user set temperature Ts than the first preset humidity.
Specifically, when the minimum value in the preset temperature difference range is greater than or equal to 0, referring to fig. 3, after step S4, the method for controlling constant temperature dehumidification of an air conditioner further includes: s5' when RhAnd when the humidity is lower than the first preset humidity and higher than the second preset humidity, the control unit controls the air conditioner to perform refrigeration operation, and the step S2 is executed after the refrigeration operation lasts for a third preset time. The indoor temperature can be lowered to make the indoor temperature closer to the set temperature Ts of the user.
The second preset humidity is less than the first preset humidity, and the second preset humidity may be 40%, 35%, 38%, and so on, and is not limited specifically herein. However, in order to satisfy the comfort requirement of the human body, it is preferable that the second preset humidity is 40%, and when the indoor relative humidity is less than or equal to 40%, the indoor relative humidity is small and the human body easily feels dry.
In addition, the third preset time may be 3min, 5min, 7min, and the like, and is not particularly limited herein. However, in order to ensure reliability and stability of the dehumidifying operation of the air conditioner, it is preferable that the third preset time is greater than or equal to 5 min.

Thus, on one hand, the indoor temperature can be reduced to make the indoor temperature closer to the set temperature Ts of the user; on the other hand, due to TP>T2+ second predetermined unit value, so that the air conditioner will not be able to dehumidify at this time to prevent further reduction of indoor relative humidity, thereby avoiding excessive dehumidification.

In the present invention, the following description will be given only with reference to table 2, and table 2 does not limit the present invention.
In addition, the fourth preset time may be 3min, 5min, 7min, and the like, and is not particularly limited herein. However, in order to ensure the reliability and stability of the dehumidifying operation of the air conditioner, it is preferable that the fourth preset time is greater than or equal to 5 min.
Furthermore, the second predetermined unit value may be 1 ℃, 0.8 ℃, 0.5 ℃ or the like, and is not particularly limited herein.
Specifically, step S5 ″ includes:
s51', the control unit controls the air conditioner to perform the cooling operation and makes the initial operation frequency of the compressor F02;
S52', after the operation is continued for the fifth preset time, the inner disc temperature sensor detects the coil temperature T of the indoor heat exchangerP;
S53', if TP≤T2If the current operation frequency of the compressor is higher than the second preset unit value, the current operation frequency of the compressor is increased to a second preset frequency; if TP>T2And + a second predetermined unit value, the operating frequency of the compressor is kept unchanged.
The second preset frequency is determined by experiments, and the value of the second preset frequency is not particularly limited.
In addition, the fifth preset time is less than the fourth preset time, and the fifth preset time may be 3min, 5min, 7min, and the like, and is not particularly limited herein. However, in order to ensure reliability and stability of the dehumidifying operation of the air conditioner, it is preferable that the fifth preset time is greater than or equal to 5 min.
Further, F02The temperature difference can be a preset fixed value or can be determined according to the temperature difference △ T in the current state, and is not particularly limited in the description, however, in order to reasonably control the operation frequency of the compressor to reduce the fluctuation amplitude of the indoor temperature, the operation frequency is preferably determined according to the temperature difference △ T in the current stateDetermining the operating frequency of the compressor, in particular, F, from the temperature difference △ T at the current state02Positively correlated with the temperature difference △ T, the dehumidification operating frequency F of the compressor is thus determined from the temperature difference △ T02So as to avoid the condition that the fluctuation range of the indoor temperature is large due to the overlarge or the undersize running frequency of the compressor.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 2, specifically, the step S3 includes S31, when △ T is greater than the maximum value within the preset temperature difference range, the control unit controls the air conditioner cooling operation, S32, when △ T is within the preset temperature difference range, the process proceeds to step S4, and S33, when △ T is less than the minimum value within the preset temperature difference range, the control unit controls the air conditioner heating operation, so that the temperature difference △ T can be adjusted to be within the preset temperature difference range.
In step S31, in order to determine whether the temperature difference △ T is within the preset temperature difference after the air conditioner performs the cooling operation, the temperature difference △ T may be detected in real time during the cooling operation of the air conditioner, or the temperature difference △ T may be detected after every sixth preset time of the cooling operation of the air conditioner, which is not specifically limited herein, however, in order to reduce the detection frequency of the temperature difference △ T, it is preferable to adopt the second scheme, that is, after every sixth preset time of the cooling operation of the air conditioner, the temperature difference △ T is detected until the temperature difference △ T is within the preset temperature difference range, and the process proceeds to step S4.
Similarly, in step S33, in order to determine whether the temperature difference △ T is within the preset temperature difference after the air conditioner performs the heating operation, the temperature difference △ T may be detected in real time during the heating operation of the air conditioner, or the temperature difference △ T may be detected after every seventh preset time of the heating operation of the air conditioner, which is not specifically limited herein, however, in order to reduce the detection frequency of the temperature difference △ T, it is preferable to adopt the second scheme, that is, after every seventh preset time of the cooling operation of the air conditioner, the temperature difference △ T is detected again until the temperature difference △ T is within the preset temperature difference range, and then the process proceeds to step S4.
The sixth preset time and the seventh preset time may be 3min, 5min, 7min, and the like, and are not limited herein. However, in order to ensure the reliability and stability of the dehumidifying operation of the air conditioner, it is preferable that the sixth preset time and the seventh preset time are greater than or equal to 5 min.
In addition, since the air conditioner performs cooling while performing dehumidification, in order to reserve a certain cooling capacity for the subsequent dehumidification operation of the air conditioner, the air conditioner performs heating operation in step S33 such that the temperature difference △ T is greater than the minimum value within the preset temperature difference range by at least a preset unit value, thereby reserving a certain cooling capacity for the subsequent dehumidification operation of the air conditioner.
The predetermined unit value may be 1 ℃, 0.5 ℃, 0.8 ℃ or the like, and is not particularly limited herein.
In step S31, the operation frequency of the compressor may be a preset fixed value during the cooling operation of the air conditioner, or may be determined according to the temperature difference △ T in the current state, which is not specifically limited herein, however, in order to reasonably control the operation frequency of the compressor to reduce the fluctuation range of the indoor temperature, it is preferable to determine the operation frequency of the compressor according to the temperature difference △ T in the current state, and specifically, in step S31, the frequency of the compressor during the cooling operation of the air conditioner is the target frequency FobjTarget frequency FobjThe temperature difference is △ T, so that the refrigerating operation frequency of the compressor is determined according to the temperature difference △ T, and the condition that the fluctuation amplitude of the indoor temperature is large due to the fact that the operation frequency of the compressor is too large or too small is avoided.
In step S31, during the cooling operation of the air conditioner, the air conditioner may or may not dehumidify the air conditioner, specifically according to the target frequency FobjAnd F0The size relationship between F and F is determinedobj≥F0Meanwhile, the air conditioner simultaneously refrigerates and dehumidifies; when F is presentobj<F0In time, the air conditioner only refrigerates and does not dehumidify.
In step S33, when the air conditioner is operated for heating, the operation frequency of the compressor may be a preset fixed value, or may be a value detected by the indoor humidity sensor RhThe determination is not specifically limited herein. However, since the indoor relative humidity decreases with an increase in the indoor temperature, the air conditioner should be quickly heated when the indoor relative humidity is high during heatingThe indoor temperature is raised to increase the speed of reducing the indoor relative humidity, and if the indoor relative humidity is small, the indoor temperature is slowly raised to decrease the speed of reducing the indoor relative humidity. Specifically, before step S33, the method further includes: the indoor humidity sensor detects the indoor relative humidity RhAccordingly, in step S33, if RhIf the humidity is greater than or equal to the first preset humidity, the frequency of the compressor in the heating operation process of the air conditioner is the first frequency F1If R ishWhen the frequency is less than the first preset humidity and greater than the second preset humidity, the frequency of the compressor is the second frequency F in the heating operation process of the air conditioner2If R ishWhen the humidity is less than or equal to the second preset humidity, the frequency of the compressor in the heating operation process of the air conditioner is a third frequency F3,F1>F2>F3. Therefore, the heating operation frequency of the compressor is determined according to the indoor relative humidity, so that the indoor relative humidity can be closer to the human comfort range when the air conditioner operates in heating.
In the above embodiment, in order to prevent the fluctuation range of the indoor temperature from being large due to the operation frequency of the compressor being too high or too low, the influence of the external environment temperature is also considered, specifically, F1、F2、F3All detected values T of outdoor temperature sensoroutThe correlation function limits the heating operation frequency range of the compressor through the outdoor temperature, so as to avoid the situation that the indoor temperature is suddenly increased due to overlarge heating operation frequency of the compressor and cannot be increased for a long time due to undersize heating operation frequency of the compressor, and improve the stability of the indoor temperature increasing process.
Specifically, F1、F2、F3And ToutThe relationship between the two can be seen in FIG. 4, F1、F2、F3Can be expressed as:
Fi=Fi_max-(Fi_max-Fi_min)×(Tout-Tmin)/(Tmax-Tmin),
wherein i is 1, 2 or 3, TminAnd TmaxRespectively, a minimum value and a maximum value within a certain temperature interval, for example, Tmin=20℃,TmaxWhen the air conditioner heats at 30 deg.C, Fi_minWhen the external environment temperature T isout>TmaxHeating operation frequency of the compressor, Fi_maxWhen the external environment temperature T isout<TminHeating operation frequency of the compressor, Fi_minAnd Fi_maxThe method is also obtained by combining experience according to a certain algorithm on the premise of acquiring a large amount of experimental data.
In order to reduce the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger coil and increase the dehumidification capacity of the air conditioner in unit time, the rotating speed of the indoor fan can be reduced, so that cold air at the indoor heat exchanger coil circulates slowly, the temperature at the indoor heat exchanger coil is low, the amount of water vapor in the air flowing through the indoor heat exchanger is more, and the dehumidification capacity in unit time is more. Therefore, step S53 further includes: the control unit controls the rotating speed of the indoor fan to be reduced to a preset lowest gear so as to reduce the temperature of the coil pipe of the indoor heat exchanger and increase the dehumidification amount of the air conditioner in unit time.
In step S53, when T is detectedP≥T1-at a first preset unit value, the control unit, while increasing the current operating frequency of the compressor by a first preset frequency, preferably when T is greater than T in order to balance the refrigeration capacity of the increased compressor frequency portionP≥T1-at a first preset unit value, the control unit also controls the auxiliary electric heater to be switched on, thereby balancing the cooling capacity of the frequency increasing portion of the compressor by switching on the auxiliary electric heater.
The above description is only for the specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of the changes or substitutions within the technical scope of the present invention, and all the changes or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the present invention.
