  • Patent number: 11841150
    Abstract: A method for controlling the power-on or power-off of an air conditioner is provided. The method includes the following steps: determining whether a variable capacity compressor of the air conditioner is in a standby single-cylinder operation state before starting the air conditioner, where the variable capacity compressor is configured to be switchable between a single-cylinder operation state and a dual-cylinder operation state; if so, starting the air conditioner; if not, switching the variable capacity compressor to the standby single-cylinder operation state, and then starting the air conditioner. With this control method, regardless of whether the air conditioner is shut down because the power supply of the unit is cut off or because a power-off signal is received, the air conditioner can be started in a single-cylinder operation state in the next startup, so that the operation state of the cylinder is always determined when starting the air conditioner.

  • Patent number: 11835040
    Abstract: A method and a device for controlling a capacity change of a compressor, and a smart home appliance. The method includes: determining whether a capacity of the compressor is required to be changed; if yes, determining an intermediate frequency; changing the capacity of the compressor while maintaining the operating frequency of the compressor at the intermediate frequency; and the maintaining the operating frequency of the compressor at the intermediate frequency reduces a sudden change in output of the compressor after the changing the capacity.

  • Patent number: 11808261
    Abstract: Disclosed are a variable capacity compressor operation mode determination method and device, a variable capacity compressor and an air conditioner. The variable capacity compressor operation mode determination method includes: detecting a current value of a compressor at present as A1 before switching an operation mode of the compressor; detecting the current value of the compressor at present as A2 after switching the operation mode of the compressor and reaching a preset time; comparing A1 and A2, determining that the switching of the operation mode of the compressor is successful when a ratio relationship between A1 and A2 satisfies a preset condition, and determining that switching of the operation mode of the compressor is failed when the ratio relationship between A1 and A2 dissatisfies a preset condition.

  • Patent number: 11313570
    Abstract: Provided are a method and device for controlling electric heating of an air conditioner compressor. The method may include: first request information is transmitted to a corresponding database server at an interval of a second preset duration, as to acquire weather forecast data of an area where an air conditioner is located within an upcoming third preset duration; the weather forecast data returned by the database server is received and stored in a built-in database of the air conditioner; it is monitored to learn that a shutdown duration of the air conditioner compressor exceeds a first preset duration, as to acquire the weather forecast data stored in the built-in database of the air conditioner; and a control strategy is generated according to the weather forecast data, to control the air conditioner compressor to start and stop electric heating.

  • Patent number: 11207932
    Abstract: A vehicle suspension system includes a frame, a damper and a rocker arm. The frame is connected with the rocker arm through the damper, the swing part of swing arm limits the swing arm's rotation angle by matching the limit structure on the frame; the bottom of damper is provided with the universal structure, the damper is connected with the rocker arm through the universal structure, and the universal structure controls the damper in free deflection. A deviation motion of vehicle wheels on both ends by coordinating the swing arm, vibration damper, etc. to avoid the slipping and rollover due to great sides way upon vehicle steering and the lateral wheels disengagement from ground and to enhance the safety of cornering driving of vehicles.
