The various embodiments herein are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments, and the same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other. For the methods, products, etc. disclosed in the embodiments, since they correspond to the methods disclosed in the embodiments, the description is relatively simple, and the relevant parts can be referred to the description of the method section.
[0023] In the prior art, the air-conditioning system prevents liquid hammer from the compressor of the air-conditioning system by adjusting the operating parameters of the air-conditioning system, such as adjusting the operating frequency of the compressor and adjusting the opening of the expansion valve, but no matter which operating parameters are adjusted, Both are different from the current adjustment of the air-conditioning system, which will inevitably cause changes in the cooling or heating effect, that is, it cannot meet user needs and reduce user experience. Moreover, for an air conditioning system using a fixed-frequency compressor, the frequency of the fixed-frequency compressor is fixed, and the valve opening cannot be adjusted. In the prior art, it is impossible to prevent liquid hammer from occurring in the air-conditioning system using the fixed-frequency compressor.
[0024] In the embodiment of the present invention, changes are made in the structure of the air conditioning system. An annular heating device is arranged around the outer wall of the compressor at a set distance from the bottom of the compressor, or a heating device is arranged at the bottom of the compressor to cover the outer wall of the compressor, or An annular heating device is set at the bottom. When there is a possibility of liquid hammer, turn on the heating device to heat the compressor to prevent the refrigerant from condensing inside the compressor, that is, liquid hammer. In the embodiment of the present invention, by changing the structure of the air conditioning system, it can be applied not only to the air conditioning system using fixed frequency compressors, but also to the air conditioning system of inverter compressor systems. The structural changes can achieve liquid strike prevention. , To avoid conflicts with other control processes when adjusting the air conditioning operating parameters, affecting the cooling or heating effect, and reducing the user experience.
[0025] figure 1 It is a flow chart showing a control method for preventing liquid shock in an air conditioning system according to an exemplary embodiment. The method includes the following steps:
[0026] Step S101: Obtain temperature data, and determine whether the temperature data meets a preset condition for performing an anti-liquid strike operation.
[0027] Step S102: If the preset condition is met, control the electric heating device to turn on.
[0028] In this embodiment, the preset condition is the specific value of one or more temperature parameters when liquid hammer occurs based on multiple tests, which are pre-stored in the air conditioning system. Temperature data can include: indoor temperature, outdoor temperature, condenser temperature, evaporator temperature, compressor temperature, etc. It is understandable that the temperature data is not limited to the above-mentioned temperature parameters, and may be other temperature-causing parameters. The multiple temperature parameters can be any combination of temperature parameters that can predict whether liquid hammer occurs.
[0029] In this embodiment, there are many ways to obtain temperature data. Optionally, it is measured by the temperature sensor that comes with the air conditioning system, or the temperature data detected by other devices is obtained through networking, or through other data. Calculate to obtain a certain temperature data.
[0030] When the acquired temperature data satisfies the preset conditions for performing the anti-liquid-shock operation, it is determined that the liquid-shock will occur if the air conditioner maintains the current operating state and continues to run. The operation of preventing liquid shock is required. At this time, the electric heating device is controlled to turn on to increase the temperature of the compressor to avoid condensation of the refrigerant in the compressor and extend the life of the compressor.
[0031] According to the embodiment of the present invention, it is determined whether the liquid-shock prevention operation is required according to the temperature data obtained in real time. When the liquid-shock prevention operation is required, the electric heating device is turned on. The adjustment process is simple and can effectively avoid the occurrence of a compressor with a fixed frequency in time. Liquid strike.
[0032] In order to improve the accuracy of adjustment, the temperature parameters in the preset conditions must be directly related to the occurrence of liquid hammer.
[0033] In some optional embodiments, the temperature data includes: compressor bottom temperature T1 and condenser middle temperature T2. The preset condition includes: the difference ΔH of the compressor bottom temperature T1 minus the condenser middle temperature T2 is less than the first set value H1.
[0034] Wherein, the first set value H1 ranges from 2 to 6°C, the first set value H1 is 2°C, 3°C, 4°C, 5°C, or 6°C, and the first set value The value of H1 is related to the target setting temperature of the air conditioner.
[0035] Such as figure 2 What is shown is a flow chart showing a control method for preventing liquid shock in an air conditioning system according to an exemplary embodiment. The method includes the following steps:
[0036] Step S201: Obtain the bottom temperature T1 of the compressor and the middle temperature T2 of the condenser;
[0037] Step S202: Determine whether the difference ΔH of the compressor bottom temperature T1 minus the condenser middle temperature T2 is less than the first set value H1; if the judgment result is less than the first set value H1, perform step S203, control The electric heating device is turned on.

According to the temperature of the bottom of the compressor T1 and the temperature of the middle of the condenser T2 can determine whether the amount of refrigerant output by the compressor matches the heat exchange capacity of the evaporator. When the difference ΔH of the compressor bottom temperature T1 minus the condenser middle temperature T2 is less than the first set value H1, the amount of output refrigerant does not match the heat exchange capacity of the evaporator, and the evaporator cannot guarantee the full evaporation of the liquid refrigerant. The liquid refrigerant will flow back to the compressor, and as the air conditioner is running, liquid shock will occur and damage the compressor.
[0039] In step S203, when the temperature T1 at the bottom of the compressor and the temperature T2 at the middle of the condenser meet the preset conditions for performing the liquid strike prevention operation, there are many ways to control the electric heating device to turn on. In order to avoid the excessive power of the electric heating device and wasting power when the liquid strike can be prevented, in different embodiments, the electric heating device is provided with different heating levels or the power of the electric heating device is adjustable.
