Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of refrigeration optimization control, and specifically to an optimization method for controlling a variable-frequency compressor based on a commercial freezer. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of commercial freezer technology and the increasing application requirements, traditional commercial freezers are facing greater challenges in terms of energy efficiency, operating efficiency, temperature control accuracy, and environmental adaptability. Traditional freezers usually adopt a single compressor and refrigeration system, and do not fully consider the temperature fluctuations and load differences in different regions inside the freezer, resulting in low overall energy efficiency and sub-optimal refrigeration effects. In addition, the refrigeration efficiency of the freezer is usually affected by factors such as the external environmental temperature, cargo storage requirements, and manual operations. The changes in these factors make it difficult for the freezer system to achieve efficient and stable temperature control management, further affecting the operating stability and product quality of the freezer.
[0003] To address these problems, variable-frequency compressors, as a high-efficiency control device, have gradually been widely used in commercial freezers. By adjusting the rotational speed of the compressor, the variable-frequency compressor can control the refrigerant flow rate and the temperature in the temperature control area, and can perform precise adjustment according to actual needs, avoiding energy waste of traditional fixed-frequency compressors during load fluctuations. However, although the introduction of variable-frequency compressors has improved the energy efficiency of the freezer to a certain extent, traditional commercial freezers still have the following problems: First, the load distribution in the temperature control area is uneven, resulting in possible overcooling or overheating in some areas of the freezer; second, there is a lack of comprehensive optimization management of multiple factors (such as cargo load, manual operation behavior, external environment, etc.), and it is impossible to effectively achieve temperature control balance between regions; third, it is often difficult to synergistically optimize the compressor frequency adjustment and refrigerant flow rate adjustment, resulting in limited room for improving refrigeration efficiency.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0080] Embodiment 1
[0081] Please refer to Figure 1 , the present invention provides a variable frequency compressor control optimization method based on a commercial cold cabinet, including the following steps:
[0082] S1. The interior of the commercial cold cabinet is pre-divided into several temperature control areas according to levels, and monitoring points are set in each temperature control area to collect and obtain the operation parameters in each temperature control area, including the evaporation temperature Te of the i-th temperature control area i , the condensation temperature Tc i , the compressor frequency F compressor,i , the refrigerant flow rate M i , the evaporation pressure P evap,i and the condensation pressure P cond,i , and a set of operation parameters is established;
[0083] S2. The cargo load information and manual operation behavior information in the temperature control area are collected to establish a regional load set, and calculations are performed based on the regional load set to obtain the load index F of the i-th temperature control area zzs,i , and a load level threshold is preset to identify the operation load level of the i-th temperature control area from the current state and generate a corresponding first strategy or second strategy. After implementation, the operation state coefficient L of the i-th temperature control area is constructed hxs,i , and a state efficiency threshold is preset. If the operation state coefficient L of the i-th temperature control area hxs,i is lower than the state efficiency threshold, a first optimization instruction is triggered;
[0084] S3. After receiving the first optimization instruction, extract the evaporation temperature Te of the i-th temperature control zone in the set of operating parameters obtained in step S1 i , the condensation temperature Tc i and the compressor frequency F compressor,i , calculate the refrigerant flow rate adjustment index R_adj, and based on the refrigerant flow rate adjustment index R_adj, obtain the new refrigerant flow rate M of the adjusted i-th temperature control zone new,i , to match the refrigeration demand of the freezer
[0085] S4. Real-time monitor the evaporation pressure P of the i-th temperature control zone evap,i and the condensation pressure P cond,i , generate the pressure stability index P of the i-th temperature control zone stb,u , to determine whether it is necessary to adjust the operating parameters of the variable frequency compressor; preset the pressure stability threshold E, if P stb,i > E or P stb,i < E, then it is determined that it is necessary to adjust the operating parameters of the variable frequency compressor, trigger the second optimization instruction; and calculate the second refrigerant flow rate M of the i-th temperature control zone new,2,i for synchronous adjustment to ensure that each temperature control zone is in an optimal operating state
[0086] In this embodiment, by dividing the interior of the commercial freezer into multiple temperature control zones and setting monitoring points in each zone, it is possible to collect in real time the evaporation temperature Te including the i-th temperature control zone i , the condensation temperature Tc i , the compressor frequency F compressor,i , the refrigerant flow rate M i , the evaporation pressure P evap,i and the condensation pressure P cond,i and other key operating parameters. This regional management enables the freezer to perform precise adjustment according to the needs of different regions, thereby improving the overall temperature control accuracy and refrigeration effect
[0087] The present invention combines factors such as the load of goods and the behavior of manual operations to construct the load index F of the i-th temperature control zone zzs,i and compare it with the preset load level threshold, so as to identify the load situation of each temperature control zone. This method avoids the problem of uneven load in different zones in traditional freezers, and effectively reduces the overcooling or overheating phenomenon in some zones
[0088] By adjusting the refrigerant flow rate to meet the refrigeration demand of the freezer, the refrigerant flow rate adjustment index R_adj is used to achieve precise control of the temperature control zone. This control method can be adjusted flexibly according to actual needs compared with the traditional fixed-frequency compressor adjustment, avoiding energy waste and improving the overall energy efficiency of the freezer
[0089] By monitoring the evaporation pressure P in real time evap,i and the condensation pressure P cond,i , generate the pressure stability index Pi of the ith temperature control area stb,i to ensure that the compressor operates in the best state. When it is found that the pressure fluctuation exceeds the set threshold, an optimization instruction is triggered to adjust the compressor operation parameters, and the refrigerant flow rate is synchronously adjusted to ensure that the refrigeration effect of each temperature control area reaches the optimum. The present invention comprehensively considers multiple factors (such as regional load, ambient temperature, manual operation, etc.) to dynamically adjust and optimize the refrigeration strategy of the cold cabinet, which not only improves the energy efficiency of the cold cabinet, but also enhances its adaptability and stability under different environmental conditions.
[0090] Embodiment 2
[0091] This embodiment is an explanation and illustration based on Embodiment 1. Specifically, the S1 step includes:
[0092] S11. Divide the internal space of the commercial cold cabinet into multiple hierarchical temperature control areas, and the temperature control areas are divided according to the shelf levels inside the cold cabinet;
[0093] S12. Set multiple monitoring points in each temperature control area, install temperature sensors outside each temperature control area, and monitor the external environmental temperature Ti of the ith temperature control area in real time outsude,i ;
[0094] Monitor the temperature when the refrigerant evaporates through the temperature sensor inside the evaporator to obtain the evaporation temperature Te of the ith temperature control area i ;
[0095] Install a temperature sensor in the condenser to monitor the condensation temperature Tc of the ith temperature control area i ;
[0096] Monitor the operating frequency of the compressor through a Hall sensor or a rotational speed sensor to obtain the compressor frequency Fi of the ith temperature control area compressor,i ;

Through detailed temperature control area division and real-time monitoring, the accuracy of temperature control inside the refrigerator can be greatly improved, temperature differences between areas can be avoided, and the optimal storage conditions for goods can be ensured. The optimized monitoring and adjustment method improves the energy efficiency of the refrigerator, especially under different loads, ambient temperatures and operating conditions, and can achieve higher refrigeration efficiency and energy utilization.
[0102] Example 3
[0103] This embodiment is the explanation and description in Embodiment 1. Specifically, S2 includes:
[0104] S21. In each temperature-controlled area, monitor and record the cargo load information and manual operation behavior information, and establish a regional load set. The regional load set includes: the number of regional cargo N in the i-th temperature-controlled area items,i , Regional cargo average temperature T avg,i 、The average temperature of new goods T new,i , Regional cabinet door opening and closing frequency D door,i and the free storage volume V area,i ;Accurately collect and record the load information of each temperature control area. These factors directly affect the temperature control effect and energy efficiency of the refrigerator. By obtaining this information, a comprehensive assessment of the workload of each area can be made.
[0105] The more goods there are, the greater the load pressure on the refrigerator, and the more difficult it is to control the temperature.
[0106] New goods are usually warmer, which increases the refrigeration load of the freezer and reduces energy efficiency.
[0107] Frequent opening and closing of cabinet doors will cause temperature fluctuations, increase the load on the refrigerator and affect energy efficiency.
[0108] Too much or too little free space may cause the refrigerator's refrigeration efficiency to be unstable and affect energy efficiency.
[0109] S22. After cleaning and normalizing the regional load set, calculate and obtain the load index F of the i-th temperature control area zzs,i ; Based on the data after cleaning, calculate the load index F of each temperature control area zzs,i, as the core basis for judging the operating status of each temperature control area in the refrigerator. The load index F zzs,i The calculation will help accurately identify the workload of each temperature control area in the refrigerator, thus providing a basis for subsequent optimization and adjustment.
[0110] S23. Preset a load threshold, and compare the load index F zzs,i of the i-th temperature control area with the load threshold to judge the load level of the temperature control area, including:
[0111]
[0112] wherein, T threshold1 and T threshold2 represent the first load threshold and the second load threshold set according to the design and use environment of the refrigerator, and are dynamically adjusted according to actual needs.
[0113] When the load index F zzs,i of the i-th temperature control area is lower than the first load threshold T threshold1 , it means that the load of the temperature control area in the refrigerator is insufficient, and there are problems of energy waste and low energy efficiency.
[0114] When the load index F zzs,i of the i-th temperature control area is higher than the second load threshold T threshold2 , when the load is too heavy, the burden on the temperature control area in the refrigerator is too large, which may cause temperature fluctuations and unstable operation.
[0115] The method for obtaining the load index F zzs,i of the i-th temperature control area is as follows:
[0116] S221. First, calculate the influence of the cargo load on the temperature control area, and calculate and obtain the load influence index F items,i of the i-th temperature control area:
[0117]
[0118] In the formula, T set represents the ideal temperature set for the refrigerator; the meaning of this formula is: the load influence caused by the difference between the quantity and temperature of the goods and the set temperature; the larger the quantity and temperature of the goods, the higher the load of the refrigerator, and vice versa;
[0119] S222. Calculate the manual operation influence index F oper,i of the i-th temperature control area:
[0120] F oper,i =|D door,i ×(T new,i -T outsude,i )|;
[0121] Where, T outsude,i represents the external ambient temperature of the i-th temperature control area, and D door,i represents the opening and closing frequency of the door;
[0122] The manual operation influence index F of the i-th temperature control area oper,i represents the load increment caused by manual operation. Frequent door opening or the addition of new high-temperature goods will increase the load of the refrigerator, thereby affecting its refrigeration efficiency;
[0123] S223. Combine the load influence index F of the i-th temperature control area obtained in S221 and S222 items,i and the manual operation influence index F of the i-th temperature control area oper,i , and calculate the load index F of the i-th temperature control area through the following formula zzs,i :
[0124] F zzs,i = F items,i + F oper,i .
[0125] S24. When the first low load level is identified, it indicates that the load of the i-th temperature control area is abnormal, which not only wastes the cold source but also causes unstable operation efficiency. Generate the first strategy: increase the current inventory by 10%-20% and increase the proportion of the cold insulation medium by 2%-3%. The cold insulation medium includes freezing bottles and cold insulation boards;
[0126] When the second medium load level is identified, it indicates that the load of the i-th temperature control area is normal and the operation efficiency is qualified, so no optimization adjustment is required; by increasing the inventory and the proportion of the cold insulation medium (such as freezing bottles and cold insulation boards), the load of the refrigerator is increased to avoid wasting the cold source and improve the operation efficiency.
[0127] When the third high load level is identified, it indicates that the load of the i-th temperature control area is abnormal. Generate the second strategy: reduce the current inventory by 10%-20% and increase the proportion of the cold insulation medium by 4%-6% to help alleviate the temperature fluctuation. By reducing the inventory and increasing the proportion of the cold insulation medium to alleviate the temperature fluctuation, ensure the stable operation of the refrigerator and avoid the energy efficiency loss caused by overloading.
[0128] S25. After implementing the first and second strategies, extract the evaporation pressure P evap,i , condensation pressure P cond,i , compressor frequency F compressor,i and refrigerant flow rate M i of the i-th temperature control area. Combine with the load index F zzs,i of the i-th temperature control area. After dimensionless processing, calculate the operation state coefficient L hxs,i of the i-th temperature control area through the following formula
