Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of multi-connected unit systems, and particularly relates to a multi-connected unit system and a control method thereof, and more particularly to a multi-connected unit 3D heating system capable of continuously heating during the defrosting process of an outdoor heat exchanger and a control method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Floor heating is one of the heating methods that is more in line with the physiological needs of human body heating. The indoor temperature distribution is uniform, and the room temperature gradually decreases from bottom to top. Due to the dual effects of ground radiation and temperature, a thermal internal environment that truly meets the needs of the human body is formed. Low-temperature hot water heating evenly lays the floor heating coils in the cushion layer under the ground. The indoor ground temperature is uniform, and the entire floor is a uniform radiant heat source. The ground mainly transfers heat to the indoor by radiation, and the indoor temperature decreases with the increase of height from bottom to top. This temperature distribution situation is most in line with the physiological needs of the human body, giving people a comfortable feeling of warm feet and cool head. During the heating process of floor heating, the ground is warm. It is reported that the heat of the ground can stimulate the acupoints in each part of the sole reflex area, which can regulate the central nervous system, dredge the meridians, improve blood circulation, promote metabolism, and enhance the body's immunity. In the fast-paced modern life, it is beneficial to relieve stress, relax the nerves, eliminate fatigue, improve sleep, and improve work and study efficiency. Floor heating is particularly suitable for the elderly and children.
[0003] In the past ten-odd years, this energy-saving heating method of floor heating has been widely applied all over the world. In 2008, the market share of floor heating in South Korea and Japan exceeded 60%, and the share in the European market also reached 40%. In cold regions, due to the limitations of electric heating and air-conditioning heating, floor radiation heating with boiler central heating is relatively popular. However, there are also some problems. For example, in cold and severely cold regions, the temperature is low, the heating capacity of the unit decays, and the actual radiant heat dissipation is small due to the blockage of beds and other objects in small bedrooms, resulting in poor heating effect; in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and southern humid and cold regions, the enclosure heat loss is large, the radiation heating is slow and insufficient in heat supply, and blindly increasing the water temperature increases the energy consumption of the air conditioner. In the hot summer and cold winter regions, the household heating mode mainly based on air-conditioning air supply in winter has insufficient comfort and usage requirements.
[0004] Therefore, the combination of an air source heat pump and a floor heating system is a comfortable and energy-saving air-conditioning heating solution. Some air-conditioning manufacturers have launched multi-connected air-conditioning units and multi-connected water units that support combined heating. When the heat pump unit is applied in a low-temperature and high-humidity area, there is an easy frosting problem. That is, when the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger coil is lower than the air dew point temperature and the surface temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger coil is lower than 0°C, the water vapor in the air will undergo a phase change and frosting phenomenon on the surface of the outdoor heat exchanger coil. The continuous growth of the frost layer will reduce the air flow rate of the outdoor heat exchanger, increase the heat transfer thermal resistance, and lead to a decline in the heating performance of the heat pump unit. To ensure the heating performance of the heat pump unit, periodic defrosting is required. The defrosting methods of the heat pump unit in related solutions include: shutdown defrosting, electric heating defrosting, hot gas bypass defrosting, reverse cycle defrosting, energy storage defrosting, etc. The heat pump unit more often selects reverse cycle defrosting, during which the heating to the indoor will stop (even some defrosting methods need to absorb heat from the indoor), resulting in discontinuous heating and poor thermal comfort experience.

The effect is achieved by absorbing the energy of the water system during the defrosting process and supplying it for the indoor unit to heat and the outdoor heat exchanger to defrost, so that the heating is continuous and conducive to improving the thermal comfort experience of users.

Preferably, the floor heating system further includes: an electric auxiliary heating element; wherein, the electric auxiliary heating element is arranged on the pipeline where the floor heating heat exchange pipeline is located. The electric auxiliary heating element is, for example, a generator electric heater 29. The floor heating heat exchanger has a floor heating heat exchange pipeline and a refrigerant heat exchange pipeline.
[0033] The refrigerant system is a two-in-one multi-connected air conditioner system. The two-in-one multi-connected air conditioner system includes: a compressor 1, an outdoor heat exchanger, an indoor unit 20, and a double four-way valve system. An outdoor throttling element is arranged on the pipeline where the outdoor heat exchanger is located, and an indoor throttling element is arranged between the first port and the second port of the indoor unit 20.
[0034] Preferably, the two-in-one multi-connected air conditioner system further includes: a subcooler 8. Among them, the outdoor throttling element is arranged on the pipeline between the outdoor heat exchanger and the subcooler 8, and a subcooling throttling element is arranged on the auxiliary pipeline of the subcooler 8; the fourth valve port of the first four-way valve 3 is connected to the first port of the indoor unit 20 after passing through the outdoor heat exchanger and the outdoor throttling element, and then passing through the subcooler 8, and also returns to the suction port of the compressor 1 after passing through the subcooling throttling element on the auxiliary pipeline of the subcooler 8.
[0035] In some embodiments, the number of the indoor units 20 is more than one, and more than one indoor unit 20 is arranged in parallel. An outdoor throttling element is arranged on the pipeline between the outdoor heat exchanger and the subcooler 8, a subcooling throttling element is arranged on the auxiliary pipeline of the subcooler 8, and an indoor throttling element is arranged between the first port and the second port of the indoor unit 20.

Combining the multi-connected air conditioner system for combined heating (when the indoor unit fluorine air panel + water floor heating are used for heating simultaneously, it is called 3D heating technology), the solution of the present invention proposes a multi-connected air conditioner system capable of continuously heating during the defrosting process of the outdoor heat exchanger, specifically a 3D heating technology for a multi-connected air conditioner system capable of continuously heating during the defrosting process of the outdoor heat exchanger. During the defrosting process, it absorbs the energy of the water system and supplies it for heating the indoor unit and defrosting the outdoor heat exchanger, which can effectively improve the problems of discontinuous heating and poor thermal comfort experience when the heat pump unit defrosts, and is beneficial to improving the thermal comfort experience of users.

A generator inlet temperature sensing bulb 27 is provided between the second port of the floor heating and the hot water generator 15.
[0065] In some embodiments, in different opening and closing conditions of the corresponding components in the double four-way valve system, the outdoor throttling element, the indoor throttling element, the indoor fan matched with the indoor unit 20, the subcooling throttling element, and the floor heating throttling element, during the defrosting process of the outdoor heat exchanger by the multi-split air conditioner system, it can absorb the energy of the floor heating system, provide heating to the indoor unit 20, and provide defrosting for the outdoor heat exchanger, including: the multi-split air conditioner system can perform defrosting in any one of the refrigerant system single cooling mode, the refrigerant system single heating mode, the floor heating system single heating mode, and the refrigerant system and floor heating system simultaneous heating mode. The refrigerant system single cooling mode is such as the only fan coil cooling mode, the refrigerant system single heating mode is such as the only fan coil heating mode, the floor heating system single heating mode is such as the only floor heating heating mode, and the refrigerant system and floor heating system simultaneous heating mode is such as the fan coil and floor heating simultaneous heating mode.
[0066] Among them, when defrosting in the refrigerant system single cooling mode, the electromagnetic coils of the first four-way valve 3 and the second four-way valve 4 are not energized, the floor heating throttling element is closed, the outdoor throttling element is opened, the subcooling throttling element is closed, the indoor fan is closed, the indoor throttling element is opened but operates at an opening degree lower than the set value; in the case where the floor heating system further includes an electric auxiliary heating element, the electric auxiliary heating element is closed.
[0067] In Figure 3 In the example shown, when only the fan coil is cooling: the electromagnetic coils of the first four-way valve 3 and the second four-way valve 4 are not energized, the generator electronic expansion valve 17 is closed, the heating electronic expansion valve 7 is always open, and the subcooler electronic expansion valve 9 and the indoor unit electronic expansion valve 23 operate normally.
[0068] At this time, the valve port ① of the first four-way valve 3 is in communication with the valve port ④ of the first four-way valve 3, and the valve port ⑤ of the second four-way valve 4 is in communication with the valve port ⑧ of the second four-way valve 4. Since an additional throttling capillary tube is added to the pipeline outlet of the valve port ⑧ of the second four-way valve 4 and is directly in communication with a low-pressure suction pipe leading to the gas-liquid separator 10 (such as the second port of the gas-liquid separator 10), this path can be understood as a path where the refrigerant does not flow. The high-pressure exhaust gas of the compressor 1 flows into the condenser 5 through the four-way valve 3, and after being throttled once by the heating electronic expansion valve 7, the main liquid refrigerant flows through the subcooler 8 and is subcooled and then circulates to the indoor unit 20 for refrigeration. The auxiliary liquid refrigerant is throttled by the subcooler electronic expansion valve 9 and then returns to the suction side of the gas-liquid separator 10 (such as the second port of the gas-liquid separator 10) to provide the cooling capacity required for subcooling the main refrigerant.
[0069] During defrosting in the separate heating mode of the refrigerant system, the first four-way valve 3 is not powered on, the electromagnetic coil of the second four-way valve 4 is powered on, the floor heating throttling element is opened, the outdoor throttling element is opened, and the subcooling throttling element is closed; in the case where the floor heating system further includes an electric auxiliary heating element, the electric auxiliary heating element is closed.
[0070] In Figure 3 In the example shown, when only the air handling unit is for heating: the electromagnetic coils of the first four-way valve 3 and the second four-way valve 4 are powered on, the generator electronic expansion valve 17 is closed, the subcooler electronic expansion valve 9 is closed, the indoor unit electronic expansion valve 23 is normally open, and the heating electronic expansion valve 7 operates normally.
[0071] At this time, the valve port ① of the first four-way valve 3 is in communication with the valve port ③ of the first four-way valve 3, and the valve port ⑤ of the second four-way valve 4 is in communication with the valve port ⑦ of the second four-way valve 4. Since the generator electronic expansion valve 17 is closed, at this time, the high-pressure exhaust gas of the compressor 1 only passes through the valve port ⑤ and the valve port ⑦ of the second four-way valve 4 to the indoor unit 20 for heating, is condensed and then throttled by the heating electronic expansion valve 7, and then enters the outdoor heat exchanger for evaporation and returns to the compressor 1.
[0072] During defrosting in the separate heating mode of the floor heating system, the electromagnetic coil of the first four-way valve 3 is not powered on, the electromagnetic coil of the second four-way valve 4 is not powered on, the floor heating throttling element is opened, the outdoor throttling element is opened, the subcooling throttling element is closed, and the indoor fan is closed; in the case where the floor heating system further includes an electric auxiliary heating element, the electric auxiliary heating element is powered on.
[0073] In Figure 3 In the example shown, when only the floor heating is for heating: the electromagnetic coil of the first four-way valve 3 is powered on and the electromagnetic coil of the second four-way valve 4 is not powered on, the generator electronic expansion valve 17 is normally open, the indoor unit electronic expansion valve 23 is closed (for a multi-connected unit with multiple indoor units, only one indoor unit is described here as an example), the subcooler electronic expansion valve 9 is closed, and the heating electronic expansion valve 7 operates normally.
[0074] At this time, the valve port ① of the first four-way valve 3 is in communication with the valve port ③ of the first four-way valve 3, and the valve port ⑤ of the second four-way valve 4 is in communication with the valve port ⑦ of the second four-way valve 4. Since the indoor unit electronic expansion valve 23 is closed, at this time, the high-pressure exhaust gas of the compressor 1 only passes through the valve port ① and the valve port ③ of the first four-way valve 3 to the floor heating water heater (i.e., the water heater 15) for heating. After condensation, it is throttled by the heating electronic expansion valve 7, and then enters the outdoor heat exchanger for evaporation, and returns to the compressor 1.
[0075] When defrosting in the simultaneous heating mode of the refrigerant system and the floor heating system, the first four-way valve 3 is not powered on, the electromagnetic coil of the second four-way valve 4 is powered on, the floor heating throttling element is opened, the outdoor throttling element is opened, and the subcooling throttling element is closed; when the floor heating system further includes an electric auxiliary heating element, the electric auxiliary heating element is opened.
[0076] In Figure 3 In the example shown, when the air handling unit and the floor heating are heating simultaneously: the electromagnetic coils of the first four-way valve 3 and the second four-way valve 4 are powered on, the generator electronic expansion valve 17 is normally open, the indoor unit electronic expansion valve 23 is normally open, the subcooler electronic expansion valve 9 is closed, and the heating electronic expansion valve 7 operates normally.
[0077] At this time, the valve port ① of the first four-way valve 3 is in communication with the valve port ③ of the first four-way valve 3, and the valve port ⑤ of the second four-way valve 4 is in communication with the valve port ⑦ of the second four-way valve 4. The high-pressure exhaust gas of the compressor 1 passes through the valve port ① and the valve port ③ of the first four-way valve 3 to the floor heating water heater (i.e., the water heater 15) for heating, and passes through the valve port ⑤ and the valve port ⑦ of the second four-way valve 4 to the indoor unit 20 for heating. After condensation, it is throttled by the heating electronic expansion valve 7, and then enters the outdoor heat exchanger for evaporation, and returns to the compressor 1.
[0078] Adopting the technical solution of the present invention, based on the two-stage multi-connected air conditioner system, by using the spare valve port (such as the valve port where the blind pipe is located) of one of the two four-way valves, it leads to the floor heating flow path, and according to the defrosting flag bit of the two-stage multi-connected air conditioner system and the floor heating water temperature, the sustainable heating during the defrosting process of the outdoor heat exchanger is realized. Thus, by absorbing the energy of the water system during the defrosting process and supplying it for heating the indoor unit and defrosting the outdoor heat exchanger, the heating is continuous and beneficial to improving the thermal comfort experience of users.
[0079] According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is also provided a control method for a multi-connected air conditioner system corresponding to the multi-connected air conditioner system, as Figure 5 shown in the flowchart of an embodiment of the method of the present invention. The control method for the multi-connected air conditioner system may include: step S110 to step S120.
[0080] At step S110, obtain the defrost flag bit of the refrigerant system in the multi-connected unit system, and obtain the floor heating water temperature of the floor heating system in the multi-connected unit system.
[0081] At step S120, according to the defrost flag bit of the refrigerant system and the floor heating water temperature of the floor heating system, control the opening and closing conditions of the corresponding components in the double four-way valve system, the outdoor throttling element, the indoor throttling element, and the floor heating throttling element, so that in the case of different opening and closing conditions of the corresponding components in the double four-way valve system, the outdoor throttling element, the indoor throttling element, the indoor fan arranged in matching with the indoor unit 20, and the floor heating throttling element, during the defrosting process of the outdoor heat exchanger by the multi-connected unit system, it can absorb the energy of the floor heating system, provide heating to the indoor unit 20, and provide defrosting for the outdoor heat exchanger.
[0082] Preferably, in step S120, when the floor heating system further includes an electric auxiliary heating element, in the case of different opening and closing conditions of the corresponding components in the double four-way valve system, the outdoor throttling element, the indoor throttling element, the indoor fan arranged in matching with the indoor unit 20, the floor heating throttling element, and the electric auxiliary heating element, during the defrosting process of the outdoor heat exchanger by the multi-connected unit system, it can absorb the energy of the floor heating system, provide heating to the indoor unit 20, and provide defrosting for the outdoor heat exchanger.
[0083] Preferably, in step S120, when the floor heating system further includes a subcooler 8, in the case of different opening and closing conditions of the corresponding components in the double four-way valve system, the outdoor throttling element, the indoor throttling element, the indoor fan arranged in matching with the indoor unit 20, the subcooling throttling element, and the floor heating throttling element, during the defrosting process of the outdoor heat exchanger by the multi-connected unit system, it can absorb the energy of the floor heating system, provide heating to the indoor unit 20, and provide defrosting for the outdoor heat exchanger.
[0084] Aiming at the problem that during the reverse cycle defrosting of the heat pump unit in the air source heat pump and floor heating system, the heating to the indoor is stopped, resulting in discontinuous heating and poor thermal comfort experience for users. Combining with the multi-connected unit system for combined heating (when the indoor unit fluorine air panel + water floor heating are used for heating at the same time, it is called 3D heating technology), the solution of the present invention proposes a multi-connected unit system capable of sustainable heating during the defrosting process of the outdoor heat exchanger, specifically a 3D heating technology for the multi-connected unit system capable of sustainable heating during the defrosting process of the outdoor heat exchanger. During the defrosting process, it absorbs the energy of the water system and supplies it for heating the indoor unit and defrosting the outdoor heat exchanger, which can effectively improve the problems of discontinuous heating and poor thermal comfort experience during the defrosting of the heat pump unit, and is beneficial to improving the thermal comfort experience of users.
[0085] In some embodiments, in step S120, according to the defrost flag bit of the refrigerant system and the floor heating water temperature of the floor heating system, controlling the different opening and closing conditions of the corresponding components in the double four-way valve system, the outdoor throttling element, the indoor throttling element, the indoor fan arranged in matching with the indoor unit 20, and the floor heating throttling element, includes: determining the current operation mode of the multi-connected unit system according to the defrost flag bit of the refrigerant system and the floor heating water temperature of the floor heating system, and controlling the different opening and closing conditions of the corresponding components in the double four-way valve system, the outdoor throttling element, the indoor throttling element, the indoor fan arranged in matching with the indoor unit 20, and the floor heating throttling element in the current operation mode of the multi-connected unit system.
[0086] Wherein, when at least one of an electric auxiliary heating element and a subcooler 8 is further included in the multi-connected unit system, determining the current operation mode of the multi-connected unit system according to the defrost flag bit of the refrigerant system and the floor heating water temperature of the floor heating system, and controlling the different opening and closing conditions of the corresponding components in the double four-way valve system, the outdoor throttling element, the indoor throttling element, the indoor fan arranged in matching with the indoor unit 20, the subcooling throttling element, the floor heating throttling element, and the electric auxiliary heating element in the current operation mode of the multi-connected unit system.
[0087] The current operation mode of the multi-connected unit system is any one of a refrigerant system independent cooling mode, a refrigerant system independent heating mode, a floor heating system independent heating mode, and a refrigerant system and floor heating system simultaneous heating mode.
[0088] Wherein, when defrosting in the refrigerant system independent cooling mode, the electromagnetic coils of the first four-way valve 3 and the second four-way valve 4 are not powered on, the floor heating throttling element is closed, the outdoor throttling element is opened, the indoor fan is closed, and the indoor throttling element is opened but operates at an opening degree lower than the set value; when the floor heating system further includes an electric auxiliary heating element, the electric auxiliary heating element is closed; when the combined heating and cooling multi-connected unit system further includes a subcooler 8, the subcooling throttling element of the subcooler 8 is closed;

[0092] Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of the control flow of an embodiment of the continuous heating multi-split system of the present invention. As Figure 4 shown, the control flow of the continuous heating multi-split system provided by the solution of the present invention includes:
[0093] Step 1: When the unit of the continuous heating multi-split system continuously heats and the outdoor heat exchanger has a lot of frost, the unit will enter the defrosting operation according to the preset defrost control logic. The logic for detecting the need to enter defrosting is relatively complex, and here it is uniformly understood according to the flag bit F 除霜 = 1.
[0094] Step 2: The average value of the floor heating inlet and outlet temperature sensors, such as the generator inlet temperature sensor 27 and the generator outlet temperature sensor 28, is the floor heating water temperature T 水 .
[0095] Step 3: According to the defrost flag bit F 除霜 = 1 and the floor heating water temperature T 水 , control the operation process of the continuous heating multi-split system. For specific details, please refer to the following exemplary description.
[0096] Among them, determining the current operation mode of the multi-split system according to the defrost flag bit of the refrigerant system and the floor heating water temperature of the floor heating system includes any of the following determination cases:
[0097] The first determination case: If the defrost flag bit of the refrigerant system is a set value and the floor heating water temperature of the floor heating system is greater than or equal to the first set water temperature, it is determined that the current operation mode of the multi-split system is the separate heating mode of the refrigerant system. The first set water temperature is, for example, 35°C.
[0098] In Figure 4In the example shown, 1) when the defrost flag bit F 除霜 = 1 and the floor heating water temperature T 水 ≥ 35°C, the fan coil unit is supported to operate for heating during defrosting.
[0099] At this time, the electromagnetic coil of the first four-way valve 3 is de-energized, the electromagnetic coil of the second four-way valve 4 is energized, the heating electronic expansion valve 7 is normally open, the subcooler electronic expansion valve 9 is closed, the high-pressure exhaust gas of the compressor 1 passes through the port ① of the first four-way valve 3 and the port ④ of the first four-way valve 3 to the outdoor heat exchanger for defrosting, and one way passes through the port ⑤ of the second four-way valve 4 and the port ⑦ of the second four-way valve 4 to the indoor unit 20 for heating. After condensation, the high-pressure liquid refrigerant is throttled by the generator electronic expansion valve 17 and evaporates in the floor heating water generator (such as the hot water generator 15), absorbs the heat of the floor heating water, and returns to the compressor 1 through the port ③ of the first four-way valve 3 and the port ② of the first four-way valve 3 for suction to complete the cycle.
[0100] The second determination case: If the defrost flag bit of the refrigerant system is a set value, and the floor heating water temperature of the floor heating system is greater than or equal to the second set water temperature and less than the first set water temperature, then it is determined that the current operating mode of the multi-split air conditioner system is the simultaneous heating mode of the refrigerant system and the floor heating system. The second set water temperature is, for example, 10°C.
[0101] In Figure 4 the example shown, 2) when the defrost flag bit F 除霜 = 1 and 20°C ≤ floor heating water temperature T 水 < 35°C, the fan coil unit is supported to operate for heating during defrosting, but the generator electric heater 29 needs to be turned on, and the floor heating outlet temperature sensor still operates under the control of the target water temperature during the electric auxiliary heating startup process.
[0102] At this time, the electromagnetic coil of the first four-way valve 3 is de-energized, the electromagnetic coil of the second four-way valve 4 is energized, the heating electronic expansion valve 7 is normally open, the subcooler electronic expansion valve 9 is closed, the generator electronic expansion valve 17 operates normally, the high-pressure exhaust gas of the compressor 1 passes through the port ① of the first four-way valve 3 and the port ④ of the first four-way valve 3 to the outdoor heat exchanger for defrosting, and one way passes through the port ⑤ of the second four-way valve 4 and the port ⑦ of the second four-way valve 4 to the indoor unit 20 for heating. After condensation, the high-pressure liquid refrigerant is throttled by the generator electronic expansion valve 17 and evaporates in the floor heating water generator (such as the hot water generator 15), absorbs the heat of the floor heating water, and returns to the compressor 1 through the port ③ of the first four-way valve 3 and the port ② of the first four-way valve 3 for suction to complete the cycle.
[0103] The third determination case: If the defrost flag bit of the refrigerant system is a set value, and the floor heating water temperature of the floor heating system is greater than or equal to the third set water temperature and less than the second set water temperature, then it is determined that the current operating mode of the multi-split air conditioner system is the single heating mode of the floor heating system. The third set water temperature is, for example, 10°C.
[0104] In Figure 4 the example shown in 3), when the defrost flag bit F 除霜 = 1 and 10°C ≤ the water temperature of the floor heating T 水 < 20°C, during defrosting, the air handling unit heating operation is not supported, but heat absorption from the floor heating water is supported to accelerate defrosting completion. The generator electric heater 29 needs to be turned on, and the floor heating outlet temperature sensor is still controlled by the target water temperature during the electric auxiliary heating startup process.
[0105] At this time, the electromagnetic coils of the first four-way valve 3 and the second four-way valve 4 are not energized, the indoor fans 26 are all turned off, the heating electronic expansion valve 7 is normally open, the subcooler electronic expansion valve 9 is closed, the generator electronic expansion valve 17 works normally, the high-pressure exhaust gas of the compressor 1 passes through the port ① of the first four-way valve 3 and the port ④ of the first four-way valve 3 to the outdoor heat exchanger (such as the condenser 5) for defrosting.
