Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of heat pump system control, and in particular, to a control method, device, computer device, and storage medium for a heat pump system. Background Art

[0002] As an energy-efficient heating and cooling system, the heat pump system is widely used in fields such as construction and industry. The magnetic levitation heat pump system uses magnetic levitation bearings to replace the mechanical bearings in the traditional heat pump system. With the advantages of no mechanical contact, no friction loss, and low vibration and noise of the magnetic levitation bearings, it solves the problems of energy loss caused by mechanical friction of the mechanical bearings and high noise caused by mechanical vibration in the traditional heat pump system.

[0003] However, whether it is a traditional heat pump system using mechanical bearings or a magnetic levitation heat pump system using magnetic levitation bearings, the relationship between the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve and the refrigerant flow rate is a non-linear relationship. Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control is based on linear control theory and is usually applicable to single-input single-output systems. For multivariable control, complex decoupling strategies need to be designed, and the control effect for non-linear systems is poor. It requires complex parameter tuning or piecewise linearization processing, and the output parameters may oscillate due to improper parameter tuning. Therefore, using a PID controller to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve of the heat pump system will cause system oscillation and affect the stability of system operation.

[0052] Here, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, and examples are shown in the drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0053] As an energy-efficient heating and cooling system, the heat pump system has been widely used in fields such as construction and industry. The magnetic levitation heat pump system uses magnetic levitation bearings to replace the mechanical bearings in the traditional heat pump system. With the advantages of non-mechanical contact, no friction loss, and low vibration and noise of the magnetic levitation bearings, it solves the problems of energy loss caused by mechanical friction of the mechanical bearings and high noise caused by mechanical vibration in the traditional heat pump system.

[0054] However, whether it is a traditional heat pump system using mechanical bearings or a magnetic levitation heat pump system using magnetic levitation bearings, the relationship between the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve and the refrigerant flow rate is a non-linear relationship. PID control is based on linear control theory and is usually applicable to single-input single-output systems. For multi-variable control, complex decoupling strategies need to be designed, and the control effect for non-linear systems is poor. It requires complex parameter tuning or piecewise linearization processing, and output parameter oscillations may occur due to improper parameter tuning. Therefore, using a PID controller to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve of the heat pump system will cause system oscillations and affect the stability of system operation.

[0055] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a control method, device, computer device, and storage medium for a heat pump system. During the startup process of the heat pump system, a first controller is used to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve according to the exhaust temperature set value and the exhaust temperature of the compressor of the heat pump system, which can effectively suppress the oscillation of the superheat degree of the evaporator, shorten the adjustment time, and improve the stability of the heat pump system operation. After the heat pump system enters the stable operation stage, a second controller is used to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve according to the minimum stable superheat degree corresponding to the current ambient temperature of the environment where the heat pump system is located and the superheat degree of the evaporator of the heat pump system, which can make the superheat degree of the evaporator of the heat pump system approach the minimum stable superheat degree, enable more refrigerant to participate in phase change heat absorption, improve the heating capacity of the refrigerant, reduce the power consumption of the compressor, and improve the energy efficiency ratio of the heat pump system.

[0056] An exemplary embodiment of the present application provides a control method for a heat pump system, as Figure 1 shown. The control method for the heat pump system shown in this exemplary embodiment includes:

[0057] S101. During the startup process of the heat pump system, use a first controller to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve, and determine whether the heat pump system enters the stable operation state.

[0058] The stable operation state refers to the state where the system parameters of the heat pump system reach dynamic equilibrium. The first controller controls the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve based on the exhaust temperature set value and the exhaust temperature of the compressor of the heat pump system.

[0059] A heat pump system is a system that transfers low-grade heat energy in a low-temperature environment (such as air, soil, groundwater, etc.) to a high-temperature environment by consuming a small amount of electrical energy or other high-grade energy sources.

[0060] The startup process of the heat pump system refers to the process from when the heat pump system is powered on to when it operates stably.

[0061] The electronic expansion valve is a key throttling device in the heat pump system, used to precisely regulate the refrigerant flow rate. The opening of the electronic expansion valve is controlled by an electronic signal. The opening of the electronic expansion valve refers to the displacement of the valve needle or valve core inside the valve body, which is used to adjust the cross-sectional area of the passage through which the refrigerant flows through the valve body, thereby precisely controlling the refrigerant flow rate.

[0062] The stable operating state of the heat pump system refers to the state where the system parameters of the heat pump system reach a dynamic balance, that is, key parameters such as the energy input and output of the heat pump system, the refrigerant flow rate and pressure, and the temperature and heat exchange reach a relatively balanced state. However, there are still continuous microscopic regulations inside the system (such as fine-tuning the opening of the electronic expansion valve and changing the compressor frequency, etc.) to cope with small external disturbances (such as environmental temperature changes and load fluctuations).

[0063] The exhaust temperature of the compressor of the heat pump system is the temperature of the refrigerant gas at the outlet of the compressor during the operation of the compressor of the heat pump system.

[0064] The exhaust temperature set value refers to the upper limit value of the temperature of the refrigerant gas discharged by the compressor.

[0065] The first controller controls the opening of the electronic expansion valve based on the exhaust temperature set value and the exhaust temperature of the compressor of the heat pump system. It can be based on the difference between the exhaust temperature set value and the exhaust temperature, and the change rate of the difference between the exhaust temperature set value and the exhaust temperature to control the opening of the electronic expansion valve.

[0066] The first controller can be a controller based on a fuzzy control algorithm. The fuzzy control algorithm is an intelligent control method based on fuzzy logic. It imitates the fuzziness of human thinking and processes imprecise or non-linear system inputs through language rules to output continuous control signals. Different from PID control, fuzzy control does not require an accurate mathematical model and is especially suitable for complex, non-linear or difficult-to-model systems.

[0067] The fuzzy rules of the first controller are shown in Table 1.

[0068] The fuzzy rules of the first controller can also be other feasible rules.

[0069] In Table 1, NB indicates that the input parameter is far lower than the target value or the output parameter indicates the maximum reverse action. NM indicates that the input parameter is significantly lower than the target value or the output parameter indicates a medium reverse action. NS indicates that the input parameter is slightly lower than the target value or the output parameter indicates a slight reverse action. ZO indicates that the input parameter is close to or equal to the target value or the output parameter indicates no action. PS indicates that the input parameter is slightly higher than the target value or the output parameter indicates a slight forward action. PM indicates that the input parameter is significantly higher than the target value or the output parameter indicates a medium forward action. PB indicates that the input parameter is far higher than the target value or the output parameter indicates the maximum forward action.

[0070] For example, in Table 1, when the difference between the exhaust gas temperature set value and the exhaust gas temperature is far lower than the target value and the change rate of the difference between the exhaust gas temperature set value and the exhaust gas temperature is far lower than the target value, the output parameter characterizes a slight reverse adjustment of the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve.

[0071] Fuzzy rule table of the first controller in Table 1

[0072]

[0073] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of using the first controller to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve based on the difference between the exhaust gas temperature set value and the exhaust gas temperature, and the change rate of the difference between the exhaust gas temperature set value and the exhaust gas temperature. As Figure 2 shown, fuzzy control includes three links: fuzzy processing, fuzzy inference operation, and defuzzification conversion. In the fuzzy processing link, the first controller maps the difference between the exhaust gas temperature set value and the exhaust gas temperature, and the change rate of the difference between the exhaust gas temperature set value and the exhaust gas temperature from their original numerical domains to a preset fuzzy domain through quantization processing. Subsequently, combined with the membership function and fuzzy language variables, the precise input quantity is subjected to fuzzy characterization conversion, that is, both the difference between the exhaust gas temperature set value and the exhaust gas temperature, and the change rate of the difference between the exhaust gas temperature set value and the exhaust gas temperature are converted from the original precise numerical values to one of the seven fuzzy values such as NB, NM, NS, ZO, PS, PM, PB shown in Table 1. In the fuzzy inference operation link, the first controller, based on the Mamdani-type inference mechanism, derives the fuzzy output quantity by parsing the preset if-then fuzzy rules, that is, uses Table 1 to find the fuzzy output quantity according to the fuzzy value corresponding to the difference between the exhaust gas temperature set value and the exhaust gas temperature, and the fuzzy value corresponding to the change rate of the difference between the exhaust gas temperature set value and the exhaust gas temperature. In the defuzzification conversion link, the first controller converts the fuzzy output quantity into a precise control parameter to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve. The exhaust gas temperature is negatively correlated with the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve. After adjusting the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve, the exhaust gas temperature will change, then calculate the difference between the exhaust gas temperature set value and the exhaust gas temperature, and calculate the change rate of the difference, and then perform the next fuzzy control.

[0074] The exhaust temperature is negatively correlated with the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve. That is, under the normal operating conditions of the heat pump system, when the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve increases, the temperature of the refrigerant gas at the outlet of the compressor decreases, and when the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve decreases, the temperature of the refrigerant gas at the outlet of the compressor increases.

[0075] Under different operating conditions, the start-up time of the heat pump system is different. However, during the process from the start-up to the stable operating state, the increment of the water temperature of the circulating water on the user side is consistent. During the start-up process of the heat pump system, it is possible to determine whether the heat pump system has entered the stable operating state based on the increment of the water temperature of the circulating water on the user side. In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, determining whether the heat pump system has entered the stable operating state includes:

[0076] S301. Obtain the initial water temperature when the heat pump system starts up.

[0077] The initial water temperature is the water temperature of the circulating water on the user side in the heat pump system. A temperature sensor provided at the pipeline of the circulating water on the user side can be used to measure the water temperature of the circulating water on the user side at the start of the heat pump system as the initial water temperature. The temperature sensor can be a platinum resistance, a thermocouple, a digital temperature sensor, or other temperature sensors, which are not limited herein.

[0078] S302. Obtain the current water temperature of the heat pump system.

[0079] The current water temperature is the water temperature of the circulating water on the user side in the heat pump system. A temperature sensor provided at the pipeline of the circulating water on the user side can be used to measure the water temperature of the circulating water on the user side at the current moment as the current water temperature.

[0080] S303. Compare the difference between the current water temperature and the initial water temperature with a first preset value.

[0081] The first preset value is the increment value of the water temperature used to determine whether the heat pump system has entered the stable operating state. Comparing the difference between the current water temperature and the initial water temperature with the first preset value can determine whether the heat pump system has entered the stable operating state.

[0082] S304. In response to the difference between the current water temperature and the initial water temperature being greater than the first preset value, determine that the heat pump system has entered the stable operating state.

[0083] In the case where the increment of the current water temperature compared to the initial water temperature is greater than the first preset value, the increment of the water temperature of the circulating water on the user side has reached the increment of the water temperature for entering the stable operating state. At this time, it can be determined that the heat pump system has entered the stable operating state.

[0084] S305. Determine that the heat pump system has not entered the stable operation state in response to the difference between the current water temperature and the initial water temperature being less than or equal to the first preset value.

[0085] When the increment of the water temperature of the circulating water on the user side is less than or equal to the first preset value compared with the initial water temperature, the increment of the water temperature of the circulating water on the user side has not reached the increment of the water temperature for entering the stable operation state. At this time, it can be determined that the heat pump system has not entered the stable operation state.

[0086] Using the increment of the water temperature of the circulating water on the user side to judge whether the heat pump system enters the stable operation state, the data is easy to collect, and the judgment process is simple, reducing the complexity of the control method of the heat pump system.

[0087] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 4 shown, controlling the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve using the first controller includes:

[0088] S401. Obtain the temperature at the exhaust port of the compressor of the heat pump system as the exhaust temperature.

[0089] A temperature sensor provided at the exhaust port of the compressor of the heat pump system can be used to measure the temperature of the refrigerant gas at the exhaust port at the current moment as the exhaust temperature. The temperature sensor can be a temperature sensor such as a platinum resistance, a thermocouple, a digital temperature sensor, etc., which is not limited herein.

[0090] S402. Use the difference between the exhaust temperature set value and the exhaust temperature as the first input parameter.

[0091] The exhaust temperature set value can be set when designing the heat pump system. In some examples, the exhaust temperature set value is 125°C. In other examples, the exhaust temperature set value can also be other values.

[0092] In some examples, use the difference between the exhaust temperature set value and the exhaust temperature as Figure 2 the first input parameter of the first controller in

[0093] S403. Use the change rate of the difference between the exhaust temperature set value and the exhaust temperature as the second input parameter.

[0094] The change rate of the difference between the exhaust temperature set value and the exhaust temperature refers to the change speed of the difference between the exhaust temperature set value and the exhaust temperature over time.

[0095] In some examples, use the change rate of the difference between the exhaust temperature set value and the exhaust temperature as Figure 2 the second input parameter of the first controller in

[0096] S404. Input the first input parameter and the second input parameter into the first controller, and control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve according to the first output parameter of the first controller.

[0097] The first output parameter is used to represent the adjustment amount of the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve.

[0098] In some examples, input the first input parameter and the second input parameter into Figure 2 the first controller in. After receiving the first input parameter and the second input parameter, the first controller performs three processes: fuzzification, fuzzy inference operation, and defuzzification conversion. During this process, the fuzzy rules in Table 1 are used, and the obtained first output parameter is used to represent the adjustment amount of the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve. Control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve according to this adjustment amount.

[0099] During the startup process of the heat pump system, use the first controller based on the fuzzy control algorithm. According to the exhaust temperature set value and the exhaust temperature of the compressor of the heat pump system, accurately control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve, which can effectively suppress the oscillation of the superheat degree of the evaporator of the heat pump system, shorten the adjustment time, and improve the stability of the operation of the heat pump system. At the same time, the exhaust temperature is positively correlated with the heating capacity of the evaporator, and the exhaust temperature is negatively correlated with the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve. By reasonably controlling the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve, the heating performance of the heat pump system can be improved.

[0100] S102. In response to the heat pump system entering the stable operation state, use the second controller to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve.

[0101] The second controller controls the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve based on the minimum stable superheat degree corresponding to the current ambient temperature of the environment where the heat pump system is located and the superheat degree of the evaporator of the heat pump system.

[0102] The superheat degree of the evaporator of the heat pump system is the difference between the gaseous refrigerant temperature at the outlet of the evaporator of the heat pump system and the refrigerant saturation temperature at the pressure at the outlet of the evaporator.

[0103] The minimum stable superheat degree refers to the lowest allowable superheat degree that the heat pump system can maintain on the premise of ensuring the safe operation of the compressor and avoiding liquid refrigerant from flowing into the compressor. The minimum stable superheat degree value is related to the temperature.

[0104] The superheat of the evaporator of the heat pump system is negatively correlated with the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve. By controlling the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve based on the minimum stable superheat corresponding to the current ambient temperature of the environment of the heat pump system and the superheat of the evaporator of the heat pump system, the superheat of the evaporator of the heat pump system can be made to approach the minimum stable superheat corresponding to the current ambient temperature of the environment where the heat pump system is located, which can extend the two-phase region in the evaporator, enable more refrigerant to participate in phase change heat absorption, enhance the heating capacity of the refrigerant, reduce the power consumption of the compressor, and improve the energy efficiency ratio of the heat pump system.

[0105] The second controller controls the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve based on the minimum stable superheat corresponding to the current ambient temperature of the environment where the heat pump system is located and the superheat of the evaporator of the heat pump system. It can be based on the difference between the minimum stable superheat and the superheat, and the change rate of the difference between the minimum stable superheat and the superheat to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve.

[0106] The second controller can be a controller based on the fuzzy control algorithm. The fuzzy rules of the second controller are shown in Table 2. The fuzzy rules of the second controller can also be other feasible rules.

[0107] Table 2 Fuzzy rule table of the second controller

[0108]

[0109] NB indicates that the input parameter is far lower than the target value or the output parameter indicates the maximum reverse action. NM indicates that the input parameter is significantly lower than the target value or the output parameter indicates the medium reverse action. NS indicates that the input parameter is slightly lower than the target value or the output parameter indicates the slight reverse action. ZO indicates that the input parameter is close to or equal to the target value or the output parameter indicates no action. PS indicates that the input parameter is slightly higher than the target value or the output parameter indicates the slight forward action. PM indicates that the input parameter is significantly higher than the target value or the output parameter indicates the medium forward action. PB indicates that the input parameter is far higher than the target value or the output parameter indicates the maximum forward action.

[0110] For example, in Table 2, when the difference between the minimum stable superheat and the superheat is far lower than the target value and the change rate of the difference between the minimum stable superheat and the superheat is far lower than the target value, the output parameter characterizes slightly reverse adjusting the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve.

[0111] Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of using the second controller to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve based on the difference between the minimum stable superheat and the superheat, and the change rate of the difference between the minimum stable superheat and the superheat. As Figure 5As shown, in the fuzzification process, the second controller maps the difference between the minimum stable superheat and the superheat, as well as the change rate of the difference between the minimum stable superheat and the superheat, from their original numerical domains to a preset fuzzy universe of discourse through quantization processing. Subsequently, combined with the membership function and fuzzy linguistic variables, the accurate input quantities are subjected to fuzzy representation conversion, that is, both the difference between the minimum stable superheat and the superheat, and the change rate of the difference between the minimum stable superheat and the superheat are converted from the original accurate numerical values to one of the seven fuzzy values such as NB, NM, NS, ZO, PS, PM, PB shown in Table 2. In the fuzzy inference operation process, the second controller, based on the Mamdani-type inference mechanism, derives the fuzzy output quantity by parsing the preset if-then fuzzy rules, that is, using Table 2, the fuzzy output quantity is found according to the fuzzy value corresponding to the difference between the minimum stable superheat and the superheat, and the fuzzy value corresponding to the change rate of the difference between the minimum stable superheat and the superheat. In the defuzzification conversion process, the second controller converts the fuzzy output quantity into an accurate control parameter to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve. The superheat is negatively correlated with the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve. After adjusting the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve, the superheat will change. Then, calculate the difference between the minimum stable superheat and the changed superheat, and calculate the change rate of the difference, and then perform the next fuzzy control.

[0112] The superheat is negatively correlated with the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve. That is to say, under the normal working conditions of the heat pump system, when the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve increases, the superheat of the evaporator of the heat pump system decreases, and when the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve decreases, the superheat of the evaporator of the heat pump system increases.

[0113] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 6 shown, using the second controller to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve includes:

[0114] S601. Obtain the minimum stable superheat.

[0115] When using the second controller to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve, it is necessary to first obtain the minimum stable superheat corresponding to the current ambient temperature of the environment of the heat pump system.

[0116] In some exemplary embodiments, obtaining the minimum stable superheat includes: using the current ambient temperature of the environment where the heat pump system is located, and determining the minimum stable superheat according to the preset ambient temperature-minimum stable superheat curve.

[0117] The current ambient temperature of the environment where the heat pump system is located can be obtained by using a temperature sensor provided in the environment where the heat pump system is located. The temperature sensor can be a temperature sensor such as a platinum resistance, a thermocouple, a digital temperature sensor, etc., which is not limited here.

[0118] The ambient temperature - minimum stable superheat curve can be obtained in advance through theoretical analysis, experimental testing, and system characteristic calibration, and stored in advance in the control device that executes the control method of the heat pump system.

[0119] Using the current ambient temperature in the environment of the heat pump system, querying in the ambient temperature - minimum stable superheat curve can obtain the minimum stable superheat corresponding to the current ambient temperature.

[0120] S602. Obtain the difference between the gaseous refrigerant temperature at the outlet of the evaporator of the heat pump system and the refrigerant saturation temperature at the pressure at the outlet of the evaporator as the superheat.

[0121] The gaseous refrigerant temperature at the outlet of the evaporator of the heat pump system can be obtained by using a temperature sensor set at the outlet of the evaporator of the heat pump system. The temperature sensor can be a temperature sensor such as a platinum resistance, a thermocouple, a digital temperature sensor, etc., which is not limited here.

[0122] The pressure at the outlet of the evaporator of the heat pump system can be obtained by using a pressure sensor set at the outlet of the evaporator of the heat pump system. The pressure sensor can be a pressure sensor such as a pressure transmitter, a mechanical pressure gauge, etc., which is not limited here.

[0123] The saturation temperature of the refrigerant refers to the temperature when the refrigerant reaches the gas - liquid equilibrium state (i.e., the saturated state) at a certain specific pressure. According to the pressure at the outlet of the evaporator, the refrigerant saturation temperature at this pressure can be obtained.

[0124] Take the difference between the gaseous refrigerant temperature at the outlet of the evaporator of the heat pump system and the refrigerant saturation temperature at the pressure at the outlet of the evaporator as the superheat of the evaporator of the heat pump system.

[0125] S603. Take the difference between the minimum stable superheat and the superheat as the third input parameter.

[0126] The third input parameter here is to distinguish it from the first input parameter and the second input parameter of the first controller, and does not mean that the second controller also has the first input parameter and the second input parameter.

[0127] In some examples, take the difference between the minimum stable superheat and the superheat of the evaporator as Figure 5 the first input parameter of the second controller in

[0128] S604. Take the change rate of the difference between the minimum stable superheat and the superheat as the fourth input parameter.

[0129] The change rate of the difference between the minimum stable superheat and the superheat refers to the change speed of the difference between the minimum stable superheat and the superheat with time.

[0130] In some examples, the change rate of the difference between the minimum stable superheat degree and the superheat degree of the evaporator is used as Figure 5 the fourth input parameter of the second controller in

[0131] S605. Input the third input parameter and the fourth input parameter into the second controller, and control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve according to the second output parameter of the second controller.

[0132] The second output parameter is used to represent the adjustment amount of the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve.

[0133] The second output parameter here is to distinguish it from the first output parameter of the first controller, and it does not mean that the second controller also has a first output parameter.

[0134] In some examples, input the third input parameter and the fourth input parameter into Figure 5 the second controller in

[0135] During the stable operation stage of the heat pump system, use the second controller based on the fuzzy control algorithm. According to the minimum stable superheat degree corresponding to the current ambient temperature of the environment where the heat pump system is located and the superheat degree of the evaporator of the heat pump system, accurately control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve, which can make the superheat degree of the evaporator of the heat pump system approach the minimum stable superheat degree corresponding to the current ambient temperature of the environment where the heat pump system is located, extend the two-phase region in the evaporator, enable more refrigerants to participate in phase change heat absorption, improve the heating capacity of the refrigerant, reduce the power consumption of the compressor, and improve the energy efficiency ratio of the heat pump system.

[0136] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 7 shown, controlling the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve according to the first output parameter or the second output parameter includes:

[0137] S701. Input the first output parameter or the second output parameter into the electronic expansion valve driver.

[0138] The electronic expansion valve driver is an electronic control device for accurately controlling the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve, which can convert the first output parameter output by the first controller or the second output parameter output by the second controller into a pulse modulation signal for controlling the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve.

[0139] When controlling the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve using the first output parameter or the second output parameter, input the first output parameter or the second output parameter into the electronic expansion valve driver.

[0140] S702. Control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve according to the third output parameter of the electronic expansion valve driver.

[0141] The third output parameter is a pulse modulation signal.

[0142] Control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve according to the third output parameter in the form of a pulse modulation signal obtained by converting the first output parameter or the second output parameter by the electronic expansion valve driver.

[0143] Using the electronic expansion valve driver to convert the first output parameter of the first controller or the second output parameter of the second controller into a pulse modulation signal suitable for controlling the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve improves the control accuracy of the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve.

[0144] In this embodiment, during the startup process of the heat pump system, the first controller is used to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve according to the exhaust temperature set value and the exhaust temperature of the compressor of the heat pump system, which can effectively suppress the oscillation of the superheat degree of the evaporator, shorten the adjustment time, and improve the stability of the operation of the heat pump system. After the heat pump system enters the stable operation stage, the second controller is used to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve according to the minimum stable superheat degree corresponding to the current ambient temperature of the environment where the heat pump system is located and the superheat degree of the evaporator of the heat pump system, which can make the superheat degree of the evaporator of the heat pump system approach the minimum stable superheat degree, enable more refrigerant to participate in phase change heat absorption, improve the heating capacity of the refrigerant, reduce the power consumption of the compressor, and improve the energy efficiency ratio of the heat pump system.
