Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention will be described in detail below. It is to be understood that the described embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, and not restrictive of the full scope of the invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the examples given herein without any inventive step, are within the scope of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart provided by an embodiment of an air cooler defrosting control method of the invention; fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of an air cooler defrosting control system applying an air cooler defrosting control method. As shown in fig. 2, the air cooler defrosting control system applying the air cooler defrosting control method according to the embodiment includes: at least one set of defrosting detection devices; each set of frost detecting means includes a light emitter 311 and a light receiving assembly 312. The light emitter 311 is disposed inside the air cooler casing 41 on the air inlet side a of the evaporator, and the light receiving assembly 312 is disposed on the air outlet side B of the evaporator.

As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the air cooler defrosting control method of the present embodiment specifically includes the following steps:

s101, acquiring a sensing signal sent by the light receiving assembly after receiving the light emitted by the light emitter in real time.

In this embodiment, the light emitting angle (the included angle between the light and the vertical surface of the evaporator 43) of the light emitter 311 and the setting position of the light emitter 311 need to be adjusted in advance, so as to ensure that the light emitted by the light emitter 311 can pass through the fin gap of the evaporator 43. When the light emitted from the light emitter 311 irradiates the light receiving element 312, the light receiving element 312 can receive the light and send a sensing signal of the received light. Therefore, the present embodiment needs to acquire the sensing signal sent by the light receiving element 312 in real time.

And S102, analyzing the induction signals and determining frosting information corresponding to the induction signals.

The embodiment can analyze the acquired sensing signal, so as to determine frosting information corresponding to the sensing signal. As shown in fig. 2, in the present embodiment, when the frost 430 is not formed on the evaporator 43, the light emitted from the light emitter 311 directly and linearly irradiates the light receiving element 312, and when the frost 430 with a predetermined frost thickness is formed on the evaporator 43, the light is refracted when passing through the frost 430 and then projects onto the light receiving element 312. Therefore, the present embodiment can determine whether there is no frost formed on the evaporator 43 or whether a frost block 430 with a predetermined frost thickness is formed according to the sensing signal sent by the light receiving assembly 312. The preset defrosting thickness is preset data, and when the defrosting block 430 reaches the preset defrosting thickness, the defrosting operation is required.

Further, in the present embodiment, the light receiving assembly 312 includes: a first photosensitive switch K1 and a second photosensitive switch K2. Wherein, the first light-sensitive switch K1 is arranged at the frost-free irradiation position, and the second light-sensitive switch K2 is arranged at the irradiation position to be defrosted. Specifically, the frost-free irradiation position is a position determined according to the light emission angle of the light emitter 311 and a preset distance between the first photo switch K1 and the evaporator 43 in the air conditioner; the irradiation position to be defrosted is a position determined according to the preset defrosting thickness, the preset refractive index and the frostless irradiation position.

The method specifically comprises the following steps:

firstly, if the sensing signal is a first conduction signal sent by the first photosensitive switch after the first photosensitive switch receives the closed light, it is determined that frosting information corresponding to the sensing signal indicates that frosting is not generated.

When the first photosensitive switch K1 receives light, the first photosensitive switch K1 is turned on, and thus sends a first on signal. Therefore, if it is analyzed that the obtained sensing signal is the first on signal sent after the first photosensitive switch K1 is closed due to receiving light, it indicates that the light is not refracted, that is, the evaporator 43 is not frosted, and it is determined that the frosting information corresponding to the received sensing signal indicates that frosting is not frosted.

Secondly, if the sensing signal is a second conducting signal sent after the second photosensitive switch receives the light closing, it is determined that the frosting information corresponding to the sensing signal indicates that the preset thickness defrosting condition is achieved.

When the second light-sensitive switch K2 receives light, the second light-sensitive switch K2 is turned on, and then sends a second on signal. Therefore, if it is analyzed that the acquired sensing signal is the second conduction signal sent after the second light sensitive switch K2 is closed due to the fact that light is received, it is indicated that the light passes through the frost block 430 having the preset defrosting thickness at the time, and refraction occurs, so that the light is refracted to the second light sensitive switch K2, that is, the thickness of the frost block 430 on the evaporator 43 reaches the preset defrosting thickness, and it is determined that the frosting information corresponding to the received sensing signal at the time indicates that the defrosting condition having the preset thickness is reached.

S103, controlling the light receiving assembly to work according to the frosting information, and sending a switch control instruction to a preset defrosting assembly to control the defrosting assembly to defrost an evaporator in the air cooler.

After determining the frosting information corresponding to the sensing signal acquired in real time, the embodiment needs to control the light receiving assembly 312 to operate according to the frosting information, generate a switch control instruction for controlling the on/off of the defrosting assembly 44 according to the frosting information, and send the switch control instruction to the defrosting assembly 44, so that the defrosting assembly 44 executes the switch control instruction, thereby completing the defrosting operation on the frost block 430 on the evaporator 43 in the air cooler. The switch control instruction comprises an opening control instruction and a closing control instruction.

Further, the specific steps of this step are as follows:

firstly, if the frosting information shows that the frosting condition of the preset thickness is achieved, the first photosensitive switch is controlled to be switched off, and a starting control instruction is sent to the defrosting assembly.

If it is determined that the frosting information indicates that the preset thickness frosting condition is reached, which means that the second photosensitive switch K2 is closed, the first photosensitive switch K1 needs to be controlled to be opened so that the next light irradiates the first photosensitive switch K1, and the first photosensitive switch K1 can send a first turn-on signal by being closed. The frosting information indicates that the preset thickness defrosting condition is achieved, and also indicates that defrosting needs to be performed on the evaporator 43, so that an opening control instruction needs to be generated and sent to the defrosting assembly 44, and the defrosting assembly 44 is controlled to perform defrosting operation on the frost block 430.

Secondly, if the frosting information shows that frosting is not generated, the second photosensitive switch is controlled to be switched off, and a closing control instruction is sent to the defrosting component.

If it is determined that the frosting information indicates that frosting is not performed, which means that the first photosensitive switch K1 is closed, it is necessary to control the second photosensitive switch K2 to be opened, so that the second photosensitive switch K2 can send a second on signal by being closed the next time light irradiates the second photosensitive switch K2. The frosting information indicates that frosting is not generated, and further indicates that the evaporator 43 is not frosted or the frost block 430 is finished, and defrosting of the evaporator 43 is no longer needed, so that a closing control instruction needs to be generated and sent to the defrosting assembly 44, and the defrosting assembly 44 is controlled to stop working.

In this embodiment, a plurality of groups of defrosting detection devices 31 can be arranged, and each group of defrosting detection devices 31 all work in a parallel mode, and when foreign matter shielding or other abnormal conditions cause failure of a certain group of defrosting detection devices 31, the rest defrosting detection devices 31 also play a role in controlling defrosting start and stop, so that more accurate monitoring and control can be performed.

According to the defrosting control method for the air cooler, the sensing signal sent by the light receiving assembly after receiving the light emitted by the light emitter is obtained in real time; analyzing the induction signal and determining frosting information corresponding to the induction signal; and controlling the light receiving assembly to work according to the frosting information, and sending a switch control instruction to a preset defrosting assembly so as to control the defrosting assembly to defrost an evaporator in the air cooler. By adopting the technical scheme of the invention, the light emitted by the light emitter passes through the evaporator in the air cooler to irradiate the light receiving assembly, whether the light is refracted or not is judged through the feedback of the light receiving assembly, and the frosting information is determined, so that the frosting condition on the evaporator is monitored, the defrosting accuracy is improved, the problem of incomplete defrosting or no defrosting is avoided, and the energy is saved.

In this embodiment, a specific execution flow of the air cooler defrosting control method applied to the air cooler unit is as follows:

when the unit is started to operate, frost does not form on the fins of the evaporator 43, light emitted by the light emitter 311 is normally emitted, the first photosensitive switch K1 in the frost-free irradiation position is closed, the second photosensitive switch K2 in the to-be-defrosted irradiation position is opened, at this time, a frost layer does not exist in the unit, and the defrosting component 44 is in the closed state, so that defrosting operation is not needed.

When the unit operates for a period of time, the fins of the evaporator 43 begin to frost, the light emitted by the light emitter 311 is refracted by the frost block 430 formed on the evaporator 43, and as the thickness of the frost block 430 gradually increases, the position irradiated by the light deviates from the frost-free irradiation position of the first photosensitive switch K1 and moves towards the to-be-defrosted irradiation position of the second photosensitive switch K2. When the thickness of the frost block 430 is larger than zero and smaller than the preset frost thickness, the position irradiated by the light is located between the first photosensitive switch K1 and the second photosensitive switch K2, and neither the first photosensitive switch K1 nor the second photosensitive switch K2 receives the light, so that the first photosensitive switch K1 maintains the current closed state, and the second photosensitive switch K2 maintains the current open state. At this time, the thickness of the frost block 430 does not reach the preset defrosting thickness, that is, the defrosting condition of the preset thickness is not reached, and the defrosting assembly 44 of the unit is still in a closed state.

Along with the increase of the running time of the unit, the frost block 430 gradually becomes thicker, when the thickness of the frost block 430 reaches the preset defrosting thickness, light rays are refracted by the frost block 430 and then reach the position, where the second photosensitive switch K2 is located, of the to-be-defrosted irradiation position, the second photosensitive switch K2 is closed after receiving the light rays, and then the first photosensitive switch K1 is controlled to be opened. At this time, the unit reaches the defrosting condition with the preset thickness, and sends an opening control instruction to the defrosting assembly 44 to start defrosting.

With the defrosting operation of the defrosting assembly 44, the defrosting block 430 becomes thinner gradually, the refraction influence on the light is reduced, the light deviates from the irradiation position to be defrosted where the second photosensitive switch K2 is located and moves towards the frost-free irradiation position where the first photosensitive switch K1 is located, the light is located between the first photosensitive switch K1 and the second photosensitive switch K2, the first photosensitive switch K1 and the second photosensitive switch K2 cannot receive the light, the second photosensitive switch K2 maintains the current closed state, and the first photosensitive switch K1 maintains the current open state. At the moment, the unit is not completely defrosted, namely, the defrosting stopping condition is not reached, and the unit is still in a defrosting mode state.

When the thickness of the frost block 430 is zero, it is described that the frost block 430 is completely melted, the light does not have the refraction effect of the frost block 430, and irradiates the frost-free irradiation position, the first photosensitive switch K1 is closed after receiving the light, and controls the second photosensitive switch K2 to be opened, so as to send a closing control instruction to the defrosting assembly 44, and the defrosting assembly 44 stops defrosting. At this time, the unit is completely defrosted without the frost block 430, the defrosting stop condition is reached, the defrosting mode operation is stopped, and excessive defrosting is prevented.

Further, the air cooler defrosting control method of the embodiment further includes the following steps:

firstly, when the air cooler is started for the first time, whether a first conduction signal sent after the first photosensitive switch receives light closing is obtained is judged.

When the air cooler is started for the first time, the evaporator 43 is certainly not frosted, and then it is required to determine whether a first conduction signal sent after the first light-sensitive switch K1 is closed due to the fact that light is received is obtained.

And secondly, if the first conduction signal is not acquired, generating fault alarm information, and sending the fault alarm information to a preset alarm device so that a user can check the fault alarm information output by the alarm device.

If the first on information is not obtained, it indicates that the first photo switch K1 does not receive the light from the light emitter 311, which may be because the fin of the evaporator 43 has foreign matter blocking the light, or because the light emitter 311 or the first photo switch K1 has failed. Therefore, it is necessary to generate fault alarm information and send the fault alarm information to a preset alarm device, so that a user can check the fault alarm information output by the alarm device and perform fault processing in time.

Further, as shown in fig. 2, the air cooler defrosting control system applying the air cooler defrosting control method in the embodiment further includes a light receiving plate 33. The light receiving plate 33 is disposed on the evaporator air blowing side B, and the light receiving elements 312 are each disposed on the light receiving plate 33. The first and second photo-switches K1 and K2 are not shown on the light receiving panel 33 in fig. 2, but only for the sake of better clarity of viewing the components in the figure, the first and second photo-switches K1 and K2 are actually disposed on the light receiving panel 33. The first photo switch K1 is a frost-free irradiation position provided on the light receiving plate 33, and the second photo switch K2 is a to-be-defrosted irradiation position provided on the light receiving plate 33.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart provided by another embodiment of the defrosting control method for an air cooler of the present invention. Since the frost formation of the evaporator 43 is not necessarily uniform, the frost formation degree is not necessarily ice, when the frost block 430 is snow-like, the light is difficult to be refracted and is refracted to an ideal position, and when the frost formation occurs, comprehensive judgment is needed to determine the frost formation of the air cooler.

As shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3, the air cooler defrosting control method of the present embodiment further includes the following steps:

s201, light sensing information sent by the light receiving board after receiving the light emitted by the light emitter is obtained in real time.

In this embodiment, the light receiving plate 33 may receive the light emitted from the light emitter 311 and sense the irradiation position of the received light. Therefore, it is necessary to acquire light sensing information transmitted by the light receiving plate 33 after receiving the light emitted from the light emitter 311 in real time. The light sensing information may include the irradiation position of the light sensed by the light receiving plate 33.

S202, if the induction signal and the light induction information are not acquired, calculating the current starting operation time of the air cooler according to the pre-recorded starting time and the current time.

If the unit is started and operated for a period of time, the sensing signal sent by the light receiving component 312 and the light sensing information sent by the light receiving plate 33 are not obtained in this embodiment, it is indicated that the first photosensitive switch K1, the second photosensitive switch K2 and the light receiving plate 33 cannot receive light, and then the current start-up operation duration of the air cooler needs to be calculated according to the pre-recorded start-up time and the current time. And the current starting-up operation time length is the time length of the interval between the starting-up time and the current time.

S203, judging whether the current starting operation time length is less than a preset defrosting time length; if yes, go to step S204; if not, go to step S206.

In this embodiment, the calculated current startup operation time length and the preset defrosting time length need to be compared, whether the current startup operation time length is less than the preset defrosting time length or not is determined, if the current startup operation time length is determined to be less than the preset defrosting time length, step S204 is executed, and if the current startup operation time length is determined to be not less than the preset defrosting time length, step S206 is executed. The preset defrosting time is the specific time when the evaporator 43 is frosted but does not form ice blocks under the specific operation condition.

And S204, acquiring the current temperature of the refrigeration house where the air cooler is located.

And if the current starting operation time is shorter than the preset defrosting time, acquiring the current temperature of the refrigeration house where the air cooler is located.

S205, judging whether the current starting operation time length and the current warehouse temperature meet preset warehouse temperature defrosting conditions or not; if yes, go to step S206, otherwise go to step S202.

In this embodiment, a preset reservoir temperature defrosting condition for determining whether defrosting is required according to the reservoir temperature and the start-up operation time is preset. In this embodiment, it is required to determine whether the current startup operation time length and the current warehouse temperature meet the preset warehouse temperature defrosting condition, and if the current startup operation time length and the current warehouse temperature meet the preset warehouse temperature defrosting condition, the step S206 is executed; and if the current starting operation time length and the current warehouse temperature do not meet the preset warehouse temperature defrosting condition, executing the step S202.

And S206, sending an opening control instruction to the defrosting assembly to control the defrosting assembly to be opened.

And if the current starting operation time length and the current reservoir temperature meet the preset reservoir temperature defrosting condition, generating a starting control instruction, and sending the starting control instruction to the defrosting assembly so as to control the defrosting assembly to be started.

Or the current starting-up operation time is not less than the preset defrosting time, which indicates that the light is not received by the light receiving assembly 312 and the light receiving plate 33 because the surface of the frost block 430 is not smooth and the light is shifted to an incorrect position, at this moment, an opening control instruction needs to be generated and sent to the defrosting assembly to control the opening of the defrosting assembly. Thus, when the surface of the frost block 430 is not smooth, defrosting can be realized, and defrosting accuracy is improved.

Further, before executing step S101, the air cooler defrosting control method of this embodiment further includes the following steps:

first, according to the light sensing information, it is determined whether the current light position of the light received by the light receiving plate is within the sensing range of the light receiving assembly.

In this embodiment, it is further required to determine whether the current light position of the light received by the light receiving plate 33 is within the sensing range of the light receiving assembly 312 according to the light sensing information sent by the light receiving plate 33. The sensing range of the light receiving assembly 312 is the area between the frostless irradiation position where the first photosensitive switch K1 is located and the irradiation position to be defrosted where the second photosensitive switch K2 is located.

Secondly, if the current light position is not in the sensing range of the light receiving assembly, an opening control instruction is sent to the defrosting assembly to control the defrosting assembly to be opened.

If the current light position is determined not to be within the sensing range of the light receiving assembly 312, it is determined that neither the first photoswitch K1 nor the second photoswitch K2 can receive light, but the light receiving plate 33 can receive light, and it is considered that the defrosting needs to be started because the light is shifted to the wrong position on the light receiving plate 33 due to the unsmooth surface of the frost block 430. Therefore, an opening control instruction needs to be generated and sent to the defrosting assembly to control the defrosting assembly to be opened. Thus, when the position of the light is shifted due to the unsmooth surface of the frost 430, defrosting can be realized, and the defrosting accuracy is improved.

If the current light position is within the sensing range of the light receiving element 312, the step S101 is continuously executed.

In order to be more comprehensive, the application also provides an air cooler defrosting control device corresponding to the air cooler defrosting control method provided by the embodiment of the invention.
