TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the air conditioning technical field, and particularly to an air conditioning system and a defrosting control method of the air conditioning system. BACKGROUND
[0002] When the air conditioning system is in heating operation, the outdoor heat exchanger assembly will be frosted when the temperature and humidity of the external environment reach certain conditions. In the related art, the air conditioning system uses reverse defrosting to defrost the outdoor heat exchanger assembly, and the refrigerant in heating is made to flow reversely, the refrigerant discharged by the compressor is supplied to the outdoor heat exchanger assembly, and the heat of the compressor is used to defrost the outdoor heat exchanger assembly. When reverse defrosting, the air conditioning system stops heating the indoor, and the indoor heat exchanger also needs to absorb part of the heat from the indoor, which reduces the temperature of the indoor and seriously affects the thermal comfort of the indoor, and reduces the user experience. SUMMARY
[0003] Embodiments of the present application provide an air conditioning system and a defrosting control method of the air conditioning system, which can improve the comfort of the user to a certain extent.
[0004] To achieve the above object, embodiments of the present application adopt the following technical solutions:
[0005] The first aspect of the present application provides an air conditioning system, comprising: a compressor, a first reversing assembly, a second reversing assembly, an indoor heat exchanger, an outdoor heat exchanger assembly and a defrosting branch. The compressor has a suction port and a discharge port; the first reversing assembly has first to fourth valve ports, the first valve port is connected with the discharge port, the fourth valve port is connected with the suction port, the first valve port is reversely connected with one of the second valve port and the third valve port, the fourth valve port is reversely connected with the other one of the second valve port and the third valve port, the second reversing assembly has first to third ports, the first port is connected with the discharge port, the second port is connected with the suction port, the third port is reversely connected with one of the first port and the second port; the first end of the indoor heat exchanger is connected with the second valve port; the outdoor heat exchanger assembly comprises a first part and a second part, the first end of the first part is connected with the third valve port, the first end of the second part is connected with the third port, the second end of the first part and the second end of the indoor heat exchanger are connected with the first throttle valve, the second end of the second part and the second end of the indoor heat exchanger are connected with the second throttle valve; the first end of the defrosting branch is connected with the discharge port, the second end of the defrosting branch is connected to the pipeline between the first throttle valve and the second end of the first part, and the first on-off valve is connected in series on the defrosting branch.
[0006] The air conditioning system provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises a first part and a second part which are arranged in parallel. When the first part is defrosted, the air conditioning system uses part of the refrigerant in the discharge port of the bypass compressor to defrost the first part. At this time, the second part can continue to ensure the heating cycle of the air conditioning system as an evaporator, or the second part can be closed so that the refrigerant flowing out of the indoor heat exchanger passes through the first part, thereby continuing to ensure the heating cycle of the air conditioning system. When the second part is defrosted, the air conditioning system can use the second reversing component to reverse part of the refrigerant in the discharge port of the bypass compressor to the second part, so that the refrigerant is cooled to high-temperature medium-pressure gaseous refrigerant in the second part, and the refrigerant flowing out of the second part can flow to the first part, thereby using the latent heat of the refrigerant to defrost the second part. At this time, the first part can continue to ensure the heating cycle of the air conditioning system as an evaporator. Thus, the first part and the second part can be defrosted in turn while the indoor heat exchanger still ensures the heating state of the indoor environment, thereby avoiding the influence of the defrosting process of the air conditioning system on the indoor temperature, keeping the indoor environment at a high temperature, and improving the comfort of the user. In addition, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the discharge port of the compressor is used to defrost the first part, and the latent heat of the refrigerant is used to defrost the second part, thereby achieving remarkable defrosting effect. Thus, the defrosting method combining low-pressure sensible heat and high-pressure waste heat can not only take advantage of the waste heat defrosting and sensible heat defrosting, but also avoid the problems of serious waste of waste heat defrosting capacity, poor reliability of sensible heat defrosting, and narrow applicable working conditions, thereby improving the defrosting speed and reliability of the air conditioning system to a certain extent.

The defrosting control method is applied to the air conditioning system described above. The defrosting control method comprises the following steps: when the air conditioning system is running in a heating mode, determining whether the air conditioning system meets a defrosting condition; if yes, controlling the air conditioning system to run a first defrosting mode, in which one of the first part and the second part is defrosted; determining whether the air conditioning system meets a first defrosting mode end condition; if yes, controlling the air conditioning system to exit the first defrosting mode and run a second defrosting mode, in which the other of the first part and the second part is defrosted; determining whether the air conditioning system meets a second defrosting mode end condition; if yes, controlling the air conditioning system to exit the second defrosting mode; wherein in the heating mode, the first valve port and the second valve port are connected, the third valve port and the fourth valve port are connected, the second port and the third port are connected, the first throttling valve throttles, the second throttling valve throttles, and the first on-off valve is closed; when the first part is defrosted, the second port and the third port are connected, the first throttling valve is fully closed, the second throttling valve throttles, and the first on-off valve is opened; when the second part is defrosted, the first port and the third port are connected, the first throttling valve throttles, the second throttling valve is fully opened, and the first on-off valve is closed.

Moreover, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the exhaust port of the compressor is used to defrost the first part, and the defrosting effect is remarkable. The latent heat of the refrigerant is used to defrost the second part, and the defrosting effect is remarkable. Therefore, by using the defrosting mode combining the low-pressure sensible heat and the high-pressure waste heat, the advantages of the waste heat defrosting and the sensible heat defrosting can be utilized, while the problems of the serious waste of the waste heat defrosting capacity, the poor reliability of the sensible heat defrosting, and the narrow applicable working condition can be avoided, and thus the defrosting speed and the reliability of the air conditioning system can be improved to a certain extent.

[0020] In some embodiments, the first portion is located directly above the second portion, the first portion is defrosted in the first defrosting mode, and the second portion is defrosted in the second defrosting mode; or the second portion is located directly above the first portion, the second portion is defrosted in the first defrosting mode, and the first portion is defrosted in the second defrosting mode.
[0021] The third aspect of the embodiments of the present application provides a defrosting control method of an air conditioning system, which is based on an air conditioning system in which a first portion is located directly above a second portion. The defrosting control method comprises the following steps: when the air conditioning system runs a heating mode, determining whether the air conditioning system satisfies a defrosting condition; if yes, controlling the air conditioning system to run a first defrosting mode, in which one of the first portion and the second portion is defrosted; determining whether the air conditioning system satisfies a first defrosting mode end condition; if yes, controlling the air conditioning system to exit the first defrosting mode and run a second defrosting mode, in which the other of the first portion and the second portion is defrosted; determining whether the air conditioning system satisfies a second defrosting mode end condition; if yes, controlling the air conditioning system to exit the second defrosting mode; wherein in the heating mode, the first valve port and the second valve port are controlled to be in conduction, the third valve port and the fourth valve port are controlled to be in conduction, the second port and the third port are controlled to be in conduction, the first throttling valve is throttled, the second throttling valve is throttled, and the first on-off valve is closed; when the first portion is defrosted, the second port and the third port are controlled to be in conduction, the first throttling valve is throttled, the second throttling valve is fully closed, and the first on-off valve is turned on; when the second portion is defrosted, the first port and the third port are controlled to be in conduction, the first throttling valve is throttled, the second throttling valve is fully opened, and the first on-off valve is closed.
[0022] The defrosting control method of the air conditioning system provided by the embodiments of the present application is as follows: when the first part is defrosted, the air conditioning system uses part of the refrigerant in the exhaust port of the bypass compressor to defrost the first part; at this time, the second part is closed so that the second part does not participate in the heating cycle of the air conditioning system, and the refrigerant flowing out of the indoor heat exchanger passes through the first part, thereby continuously ensuring the heating cycle of the air conditioning system. When the second part is defrosted, the second reversing assembly is used to reverse part of the refrigerant in the exhaust port of the bypass compressor to the second part, and the refrigerant is cooled to high-temperature medium-pressure gaseous refrigerant in the second part, and the refrigerant flowing out of the second part can flow to the first part, so that the latent heat of the refrigerant is used to defrost the second part; at this time, the first part can continue to ensure the heating cycle of the air conditioning system as an evaporator. Thus, the first part and the second part can be defrosted in turn while the indoor heat exchanger still ensures the heating state of the indoor, which can avoid affecting the temperature of the indoor during the defrosting process of the air conditioning system, so that the indoor can maintain a high-temperature state, and the comfort of the user is improved. In addition, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the exhaust port of the compressor is used to defrost the first part, and the defrosting effect is remarkable. The latent heat of the refrigerant is used to defrost the second part, and the defrosting effect is remarkable. Thus, by using the defrosting mode combining low-pressure sensible heat and high-pressure waste heat, the advantages of waste heat defrosting and sensible heat defrosting can be utilized, and the problems of serious waste of waste heat defrosting capacity, poor reliability of sensible heat defrosting, and narrow applicable working conditions can be avoided, thereby improving the defrosting speed and reliability of the air conditioning system to a certain extent. In addition, since the first part is located directly above the second part, when the first part is defrosted, the second part is not used as an evaporator by fully closing the second throttle valve, so that the defrosting water of the first part does not fall on the second part, and the problem of icing of the second part is avoided.

[0042] The air conditioning system of the embodiment of the present application is described below.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The composition schematic diagram of an air conditioning system provided for the first embodiment of the present application. The embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioning system 100, which comprises a compressor 1, a first reversing assembly 2, a second reversing assembly 5, an indoor heat exchanger 3, an outdoor heat exchanger assembly 4, and a defrosting branch 6.
[0044] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 , the compressor 1 has a suction port 11 and a discharge port 12. Specifically, the suction port 11 of the compressor 1 is used for suction, and the refrigerant enters the compression chamber of the compressor 1 through the suction port 11 for compression to form high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant, and the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas is discharged from the discharge port 12 of the compressor 1 to enter the air conditioning system 100 for circulation of the refrigerant.
[0045] For example, the compressor 1 can be a scroll compressor, a rotor compressor, a screw compressor or other types of compressors.
[0046] Please continue to refer to Figure 1The first reversing assembly 2 has a first valve port 21, a second valve port 22, a third valve port 23 and a fourth valve port 24. The first valve port 21 is connected with the exhaust port 12. The fourth valve port 24 is connected with the suction port 11. The first valve port 21 can be reversely communicated with one of the second valve port 22 and the third valve port 23, and the fourth valve port 24 can be reversely communicated with the other one of the second valve port 22 and the third valve port 23. That is, when the first valve port 21 is reversely communicated with the second valve port 22, the third valve port 23 is reversely communicated with the fourth valve port 24; when the first valve port 21 is reversely communicated with the third valve port 23, the second valve port 22 is reversely communicated with the fourth valve port 24.
[0047] For example, the first reversing assembly 2 can be a four-way reversing valve. When the four-way reversing valve is powered on, the first valve port 21 is reversely communicated with the second valve port 22, and the third valve port 23 is reversely communicated with the fourth valve port 24; when the four-way reversing valve is powered off, the first valve port 21 is reversely communicated with the third valve port 23, and the second valve port 22 is reversely communicated with the fourth valve port 24. Of course, it can be understood that in other examples, when the four-way reversing valve is powered off, the first valve port 21 is reversely communicated with the second valve port 22, and the third valve port 23 is reversely communicated with the fourth valve port 24; when the four-way reversing valve is powered on, the first valve port 21 is reversely communicated with the third valve port 23, and the second valve port 22 is reversely communicated with the fourth valve port 24.
[0048] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 The second reversing assembly 5 has a first port 51, a second port 52 and a third port 53. The first port 51 is connected with the exhaust port 12. The second port 52 is connected with the suction port 11. The third port 53 is reversely communicated with one of the first port 51 and the second port 52. That is, the third port 53 can be reversely communicated with the first port 51, and the third port 53 can also be reversely communicated with the second port 52.
[0049] For example, the second reversing assembly 5 can be a three-way reversing valve or a four-way reversing valve. When the second reversing assembly 5 is a four-way reversing valve, the second reversing assembly 5 further includes a fourth port, the fourth port is blocked, and the fourth port is reversely communicated with the other one of the first port 51 and the second port 52. When the three-way reversing valve or the four-way reversing valve is powered on, the first port 51 is reversely communicated with the third port 53; when the three-way reversing valve or the four-way reversing valve is powered off, the second port 52 is reversely communicated with the third port 53. Of course, it can be understood that in other examples, when the three-way reversing valve or the four-way reversing valve is powered on, the second port 52 is reversely communicated with the third port 53; when the three-way reversing valve or the four-way reversing valve is powered off, the first port 51 is reversely communicated with the third port 53.
[0050] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 The first end of the indoor heat exchanger 3 is connected with the second valve port 22.
[0051] Please continue to refer to Figure 1The outdoor heat exchanger assembly 4 comprises a first part 41 and a second part 42. The first end of the first part 41 is connected with the third valve port 23. Thus, the first end of the first part 41 can be in communication with the third valve port 23, and the communication between the first part 41 and the third valve port 23 can be controlled by the first switching assembly 2, which is beneficial to improve the reliability of the air conditioning system 100.
[0052] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 The first end of the second part 42 is connected with the third port 53. Thus, the first end of the second part 42 can be in communication with the third port 53, and the communication between the second part 42 and the third port 53 can be controlled by the second switching assembly 5, which is beneficial to improve the reliability of the air conditioning system 100.
[0053] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 The second end of the first part 41 and the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 3 are connected with the first throttling valve 43. The first throttling valve 43 can throttle and depress the refrigerant flowing therethrough. The first throttling valve 43 can also control the communication between the second end of the first part 41 and the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 3. That is, the opening of the first throttling valve 43 is adjustable. The first throttling valve 43 can have a fully open state (the opening is 100%), a fully closed state (the opening is 0) and a throttling state (the opening is between 0 and 100%). In the fully closed state of the first throttling valve 43, the second end of the first part 41 and the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 3 are not in communication. In the fully open state and the throttling state of the first throttling valve 43, the second end of the first part 41 and the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 3 are in communication, and in the throttling state, the first throttling valve 43 can throttle and depress the refrigerant flowing therethrough.
[0054] The second end of the second part 42 and the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 3 are connected with the second throttling valve 44. The second throttling valve 44 can throttle and depress the refrigerant flowing therethrough. The second throttling valve 44 can also control the communication between the second end of the second part 42 and the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 3. That is, the opening of the second throttling valve 44 is adjustable. The second throttling valve 44 can have a fully open state (the opening is 100%), a fully closed state (the opening is 0) and a throttling state (the opening is between 0 and 100%). In the fully closed state of the second throttling valve 44, the second end of the second part 42 and the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 3 are not in communication. In the fully open state and the throttling state of the first part 41, the second end of the second part 42 and the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 3 are in communication, and in the throttling state, the second throttling valve 44 can throttle and depress the refrigerant flowing therethrough.
[0055] Thus, the connection between the second end of the first section 41 and the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 3 can be controlled by controlling the opening and closing of the first throttling valve 43, and the refrigerant flowing through the first throttling valve 43 can be throttled and depressurized by controlling the opening degree of the first throttling valve 43. The connection between the second end of the second section 42 and the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 3 can be controlled by controlling the opening and closing of the second throttling valve 44, and the refrigerant flowing through the first throttling valve 43 can be throttled and depressurized by controlling the opening degree of the first throttling valve 43. Thus, the stability and reliability of the air conditioning system 100 can be improved.
[0056] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 The first end of the defrost branch 6 is connected to the exhaust port 12. The second end of the defrost branch 6 is connected to the pipeline between the first throttling valve 43 and the second end of the first section 41. The first on-off valve 61 is connected in series on the defrost branch 6. The first on-off valve 61 can control the connection of the defrost branch 6. It can be understood that the second end of the defrost branch 6 is located between the first throttling valve 43 and the second end of the first section 41, and the refrigerant in the defrost branch 6 can avoid the first throttling valve 43 and directly enter the first section 41, so that the state of the refrigerant in the defrost branch 6 can be avoided by the first throttling valve 43, thereby ensuring that the refrigerant in the defrost branch 6 is in a high-temperature and high-pressure state. On the other hand, when the first section 41 has frost, the first on-off valve 61 can be controlled to be opened, so that the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the exhaust port 12 can enter the first section 41 along the defrost branch 6, thereby using the sensible heat of the compressor 1 exhaust to defrost the first section 41. At the same time, when the first section 41 does not need to be defrosted, the first on-off valve 61 can be controlled to be closed, so that the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the exhaust port 12 can be prevented from flowing to the defrost branch 6, thereby affecting the normal operation of the air conditioning system 100, and improving the reliability of the operation of the air conditioning system 100.
[0057] The air conditioning system 100 according to the embodiment of the present application has a refrigeration mode, a heating mode and a defrosting mode. The control process and the flow direction of the refrigerant of the refrigeration mode, the heating mode and the defrosting mode of the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below.
[0058] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 The air conditioning system according to the first embodiment of the present application provides a schematic diagram of the refrigeration mode. When the air conditioning system 100 is in the refrigeration mode, the first valve port 21 and the third valve port 23 of the first reversing assembly 2 are conductive, the second valve port 22 and the fourth valve port 24 are conductive, the first port 51 and the third port 53 of the second reversing assembly 5 are conductive, the first throttling valve 43 is throttled, and the second throttling valve 44 is throttled.
[0059] The refrigerant flows from the discharge port 12 of the compressor 1 to the first reversing assembly 2 and the second reversing assembly 5. The refrigerant flowing to the first reversing assembly 2 flows into the first reversing assembly 2 through the first valve port 21 and flows out of the first reversing assembly 2 from the third valve port 23. The refrigerant flowing out of the third valve port 23 flows to the first portion 41 and becomes high-pressure medium-temperature liquid refrigerant after sufficient heat exchange in the first portion 41. The refrigerant flowing out of the first portion 41 becomes low-temperature low-pressure two-phase refrigerant after throttling and pressure reduction by the first throttling valve 43. The refrigerant flowing to the second reversing assembly 5 flows into the second reversing assembly 5 through the first port 51 and flows out of the second reversing assembly 5 from the third port 53. The refrigerant flowing out of the third port 53 flows to the second portion 42 and becomes high-pressure medium-temperature liquid refrigerant after sufficient heat exchange in the second portion 42. The refrigerant flowing out of the second portion 42 becomes low-temperature low-pressure two-phase refrigerant after throttling and pressure reduction by the second throttling valve 44. The refrigerant throttled and reduced in pressure by the first throttling valve 43 and the refrigerant throttled and reduced in pressure by the second throttling valve 44 flow into the indoor heat exchanger 3 and become low-temperature low-pressure gaseous refrigerant after heat exchange in the indoor heat exchanger 3. Finally, the refrigerant flows back to the suction port 11 of the compressor 1 through the second valve port 22 and the fourth valve port 24 in sequence, and the refrigeration cycle of the air conditioning system 100 is completed.
[0060] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 The air conditioning system provided in the first embodiment of the present application is in the heating mode. When the air conditioning system 100 is in the heating mode, the first valve port 21 and the second valve port 22 of the first reversing assembly 2 are connected, the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 are connected, the second port 52 and the third port 53 of the second reversing assembly 5 are connected, the first throttling valve 43 is throttled, the second throttling valve 44 is throttled, and the first on-off valve 61 is closed.
[0061] The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 12 of the compressor 1 flows into the first reversing assembly 2 through the first valve port 21 and flows out of the first reversing assembly 2 from the second valve port 22. The refrigerant flowing out of the second valve port 22 flows to the indoor heat exchanger 3, and becomes high-pressure and medium-temperature liquid refrigerant after heat exchange in the indoor heat exchanger 3, and then flows out of the indoor heat exchanger 3 and flows to the first throttling valve 43 and the second throttling valve 44, respectively. The refrigerant throttled and depressurized by the first throttling valve 43 flows into the first part 41 and evaporates into low-temperature and low-pressure two-phase refrigerant in the first part 41. The refrigerant throttled and depressurized by the second throttling valve 44 flows into the second part 42 and evaporates into low-temperature and low-pressure two-phase refrigerant in the second part 42. Finally, the refrigerant flowing out of the second part 42 flows back to the suction port 11 of the compressor 1 through the third port 53 and the second port 52 in sequence, and the refrigerant flowing out of the first part 41 flows back to the suction port 11 of the compressor 1 through the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 in sequence, thereby completing the heating cycle of the air conditioning system 100.
[0062] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the air conditioning system provided by the first embodiment of the present application for defrosting the first part. In some embodiments, when defrosting the first part 41, the first valve port 21 and the second valve port 22 of the first reversing assembly 2 are controlled to be conductive, the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 are controlled to be conductive, the third port 53 and the second port 52 of the second reversing assembly 5 are controlled to be conductive, the first throttling valve 43 is controlled to be fully closed, the second throttling valve 44 is controlled to be throttled, and the first on-off valve 61 is controlled to be open.
[0063] The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 12 of the compressor 1 flows to the first reversing assembly 2 and the defrosting branch 6, respectively. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flowing to the defrosting branch 6 flows into the first part 41, and the frost on the first part 41 is removed by using the sensible heat of the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor 1. The refrigerant flowing to the first reversing assembly 2 flows into the first reversing assembly 2 through the first valve port 21 and flows out of the first reversing assembly 2 from the second valve port 22. The refrigerant flowing out of the second valve port 22 flows to the indoor heat exchanger 3, and becomes high-temperature and high-pressure two-phase refrigerant after heat exchange in the indoor heat exchanger 3, and then flows out of the indoor heat exchanger 3 and flows to the second throttling valve 44. The refrigerant throttled and depressurized by the second throttling valve 44 flows into the second part 42 and evaporates into low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant in the second part 42, and then flows out of the second part 42. Finally, the refrigerant flowing out of the second part 42 flows back to the suction port 11 of the compressor 1 through the third port 53 and the second port 52 in sequence, and the refrigerant flowing out of the first part 41 flows back to the suction port 11 of the compressor 1 through the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 in sequence, thereby completing the defrosting refrigerant cycle of the first part 41.
[0064] In some embodiments, when defrosting the second portion 42, the first valve port 21 and the second valve port 22 of the first reversing assembly 2 are controlled to be in communication, the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 are controlled to be in communication, the first port 51 and the third port 53 of the second reversing assembly 5 are controlled to be in communication, the first throttling valve 43 is controlled to throttle, the second throttling valve 44 is controlled to be fully open, and the first on-off valve 61 is controlled to be closed.
[0065] The refrigerant flows as follows: the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 12 of the compressor 1 flows to the first reversing assembly 2 and the defrost branch 6, respectively. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flowing to the defrost branch 6 flows into the first portion 41. The refrigerant flowing to the first reversing assembly 2 flows into the first reversing assembly 2 through the first valve port 21 and flows out of the first reversing assembly 2 from the second valve port 22. The refrigerant flowing out of the second valve port 22 flows to the indoor heat exchanger 3, becomes high-temperature and high-pressure two-phase refrigerant after heat exchange in the indoor heat exchanger 3, and then flows out of the indoor heat exchanger 3 to the first throttling valve 43. The refrigerant throttled and depressurized by the first throttling valve 43 flows into the first portion 41. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flowing out of the defrost branch 6 and the low-temperature and low-pressure two-phase refrigerant throttled by the first throttling valve 43 flow into the first portion 41 to remove the frost on the first portion 41. The refrigerant flowing out of the first portion 41 flows back to the suction port 11 of the compressor 1 through the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24, and thus completes the defrosting refrigerant circulation for the first portion 41.
[0066] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 The schematic diagram of the air conditioning system provided by the first embodiment of the present application for defrosting the second portion is shown in FIG. 4. When defrosting the second portion 42, the first valve port 21 and the second valve port 22 of the first reversing assembly 2 are controlled to be in communication, the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 are controlled to be in communication, the first port 51 and the third port 53 of the second reversing assembly 5 are controlled to be in communication, the first throttling valve 43 is controlled to throttle, the second throttling valve 44 is controlled to be fully open, and the first on-off valve 61 is controlled to be closed.
[0067] The refrigerant flows as follows: The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 12 of the compressor 1 flows to the first reversing assembly 2 and the second reversing assembly 5, respectively. The refrigerant flowing to the first reversing assembly 2 flows into the first reversing assembly 2 through the first valve port 21 and flows out of the first reversing assembly 2 from the second valve port 22. The refrigerant flowing out of the second valve port 22 flows to the indoor heat exchanger 3, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is heat-exchanged into high-temperature and high-pressure two-phase refrigerant in the indoor heat exchanger 3. After flowing out of the indoor heat exchanger 3, the refrigerant flows to the first throttling valve 43, is throttled and depressurized by the first throttling valve 43, and then flows to the first portion 41. The refrigerant flowing to the second reversing assembly 5 flows into the second reversing assembly 5 through the first port 51 and flows out of the second reversing assembly 5 from the third port 53. The refrigerant flowing out of the third port 53 flows to the second portion 42, so that the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor 1 is cooled into high-pressure and medium-temperature liquid refrigerant in the second portion 42, and the latent heat of the refrigerant is used to defrost the second portion 42. The refrigerant flowing out of the second portion 42 flows to the first throttling valve 43 through the second throttling valve 44, is throttled and depressurized by the first throttling valve 43, and then flows to the first portion 41. Finally, the refrigerant flowing out of the first portion 41 flows back to the suction port 11 of the compressor 1 through the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24, and thus the defrosting refrigerant circulation of the second portion 42 is completed.
[0068] Thus, when the first portion 41 is defrosted, the air conditioning system 100 defrosts the first portion 41 by bypassing part of the refrigerant in the discharge port 12 of the compressor 1 to the first portion 41, at this time, the second portion 42 can continue to ensure the heating cycle of the air conditioning system 100 as an evaporator, or the second portion 42 is closed, so that the refrigerant flowing out of the indoor heat exchanger 3 passes through the first portion 41, and then continues to ensure the heating cycle of the air conditioning system 100. When the second portion 42 is defrosted, the air conditioning system 100 can use the second reversing assembly 5 to reverse part of the refrigerant in the discharge port 12 of the compressor 1 to the second portion 42, and make the refrigerant in the second portion 42 cool to high-temperature medium-pressure gaseous refrigerant, and make the refrigerant flowing out of the second portion 42 can flow to the first portion 41, so that the latent heat of the refrigerant can be used to defrost the second portion 42, at this time, the first portion 41 can continue to ensure the heating cycle of the air conditioning system 100 as an evaporator. Thus, the first portion 41 and the second portion 42 can be defrosted in turn while ensuring the heating state of the indoor heat exchanger 3, which can avoid affecting the indoor temperature during the defrosting process of the air conditioning system 100, so that the indoor temperature can be kept high, which is beneficial to improve the comfort of the user. And the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 12 of the compressor 1 is used to defrost the first portion 41, and the defrosting effect is remarkable. The latent heat of the refrigerant is used to defrost the second portion 42, and the defrosting effect is remarkable. Thus, by using the defrosting method combining low-pressure sensible heat and high-pressure waste heat, the advantages of waste heat defrosting and sensible heat defrosting can be utilized, while the problems of serious waste of waste heat defrosting capacity, poor reliability of sensible heat defrosting, and narrow applicable working conditions can be avoided, thereby improving the defrosting speed and reliability of the air conditioning system 100 to a certain extent.
[0069] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 , the first portion 41 can be located directly above the second portion 42. Thus, the defrosting branch 6 can be reasonably arranged, which is beneficial to reduce the cost.
[0070] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 The first portion 41 can also be located directly below the second portion 42 for the air conditioning system provided by the second embodiment of the present application. Thus, the defrosting branch 6 can be reasonably arranged, which is beneficial to reduce the cost.
[0071] For example, along the length direction of the first portion 41, the first portion 41 can be located on the left side of the second portion 42, or the first portion 41 can be located on the right side of the second portion 42.
[0072] Please refer to Figure 5The first throttling valve 43 and the second throttling valve 44 can be electronic expansion valves. In this way, the operation speed and accuracy of the air conditioning system 100 can be improved. In other embodiments, the first throttling valve 43 and the second throttling valve 44 can also be thermal expansion valves.
[0073] In some embodiments, the first portion 41 and the second portion 42 can be divided into two independent heat exchangers. In this way, when one of the first portion 41 and the second portion 42 is damaged, the air conditioning system 100 can continue to operate, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the air conditioning system 100.
[0074] In other embodiments, the first portion 41 and the second portion 42 can also be divided into two portions of the same heat exchanger. In this way, the assembly of the air conditioning system 100 is facilitated, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the air conditioning system 100.
[0075] In some embodiments, the first on-off valve 61 can be an electromagnetic valve. In this way, the response speed and reliability of the air conditioning system 100 can be improved.
[0076] In other embodiments, the first on-off valve 61 can also be an electronic expansion valve.
[0077] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 The first end of the indoor heat exchanger 3 is connected to a first stop valve 31, and the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 3 is connected to a second stop valve 32. In this way, by providing the first stop valve 31 and the second stop valve 32, the maintenance and repair of the air conditioning system 100 are facilitated. Specifically, when the indoor heat exchanger 3 needs to be repaired or replaced, the first stop valve 31 and the second stop valve 32 can be closed, so that the indoor heat exchanger 3 can be repaired more conveniently without the need to discharge the refrigerant of the entire air conditioning system 100.
[0078] For example, the air conditioning system 100 can be a multi-split system. The air conditioning system 100 includes a plurality of indoor units. Each indoor unit is provided with an indoor heat exchanger 3. The plurality of indoor units are connected in parallel. The first end of the indoor heat exchanger 3 of each indoor unit can be connected to the first stop valve 31. The second end of the indoor heat exchanger 3 of each indoor unit can be connected to the second stop valve 32. Of course, it can be understood that in other examples, the air conditioning system 100 can include only one indoor unit.
[0079] Please continue to refer to Figure 5In some embodiments, the air conditioning system 100 further comprises a gas-liquid separator 7. The gas-liquid separator 7 is arranged between the compressor 1 and the first reversing assembly 2. The gas-liquid separator 7 has a liquid inlet 71 and a gas outlet 72. The liquid inlet 71 is connected to the fourth valve port 24. The gas outlet 72 is connected to the suction port 11. By arranging the gas-liquid separator 7, the refrigerant entering the compressor 1 can be subjected to gas-liquid separation, thereby avoiding liquid impact on the compressor 1, and thus facilitating protection of the compressor 1.
[0080] Please continue to refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 A schematic diagram of an air conditioning system according to a third embodiment of the present application is shown. In some embodiments, the air conditioning system 100 further comprises a heating device 73 for heating the gas-liquid separator 7. This arrangement can evaporate the liquid refrigerant accumulated in the gas-liquid separator 7, and can increase the pressure and temperature of the gaseous refrigerant at the gas outlet 72 of the gas-liquid separator 7, thereby increasing the discharge pressure and temperature of the compressor 1, and thus accelerating the defrosting speed of the air conditioning system 100.
[0081] For example, the heating device 73 can be arranged at the bottom of the gas-liquid separator 7.
[0082] Please continue to refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 A schematic diagram of an air conditioning system according to a fourth embodiment of the present application is shown. The air conditioning system 100 further comprises a first subcooling device 46 and a second subcooling device 47. The first subcooling device 46 is connected between the first throttling valve 43 and the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 3, and the second subcooling device 47 is connected between the second throttling valve 44 and the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 3. In this way, the first portion 41 and the second portion 42 can be isolated, thereby avoiding the problem that when the air conditioning system 100 is defrosting, the end of the first portion 41 close to the second portion 42 and the end of the second portion 42 close to the first portion 41 have poor defrosting effect, thereby improving the defrosting effect of the air conditioning system 100. At the same time, the flash gas generated during throttling of the air conditioning system 100 can be reduced, thereby improving the refrigerating capacity of the air conditioning system 100, and improving the stability of the compressor 1, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the air conditioning system 100.
[0083] Please continue to refer to Figure 8 In some embodiments, one side of the outdoor heat exchanger assembly 4 can be provided with an outdoor fan 45. This arrangement can improve the heat exchange efficiency of the outdoor heat exchanger assembly 4.
[0084] Please continue to refer to Figure 8 In some embodiments, one side of the indoor heat exchanger 3 can be provided with an indoor fan 33. This arrangement can improve the heat exchange efficiency of the indoor heat exchanger 3.
[0085] Based on the structure of the air conditioning system 100, the defrosting method of the air conditioning system 100 of the embodiments of the present application has four kinds. The defrosting control method of the air conditioning system 100 of the first embodiment of the present application is described below.
[0086] Please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 9 The flow chart of the first defrosting control method of the air conditioning system provided by the embodiments of the present application. The defrosting control method of the air conditioning system 100 includes the following steps:
[0087] S1: When the air conditioning system 100 operates in the heating mode, it is judged whether the air conditioning system 100 meets the defrosting condition. Wherein, when the air conditioning system 100 is in the heating mode, the first valve port 21 and the second valve port 22 of the first reversing component 2 are conductive, the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 are conductive, the second port 52 and the third port 53 of the second reversing component 5 are conductive, the first throttle valve 43 throttles, the second throttle valve 44 throttles, and the first on-off valve 61 is closed.
[0088] S2: If the air conditioning system 100 meets the defrosting condition, the first throttle valve 43 is fully closed, and the first on-off valve 61 is opened, so that the air conditioning system 100 operates in the first defrosting mode to defrost the first part 41.
[0089] Thus, in the first defrosting mode, the first valve port 21 and the second valve port 22 of the first reversing component 2 are conductive, the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 are conductive, the third port 53 and the second port 52 of the second reversing component 5 are conductive, the first throttle valve 43 is fully closed, the second throttle valve 44 is throttled, and the first on-off valve 61 is opened. At this time, the flow direction of the refrigerant in the first defrosting mode can be: the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the exhaust port 12 of the compressor 1 flows to the first reversing component 2 and the defrosting branch 6 respectively, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flowing to the defrosting branch 6 flows into the first part 41, and the sensible heat of the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged by the compressor 1 is used to remove the frost of the first part 41. The refrigerant flowing to the first reversing component 2 flows into the first reversing component 2 through the first valve port 21 and flows out of the first reversing component 2 from the second valve port 22. The refrigerant flowing out of the second valve port 22 flows to the indoor heat exchanger 3, and becomes high-temperature and high-pressure two-phase refrigerant after heat exchange in the indoor heat exchanger 3, and then flows out of the indoor heat exchanger 3 to the second throttle valve 44. The refrigerant throttled and depressurized by the second throttle valve 44 flows into the second part 42 and evaporates into low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant in the second part 42, and then flows out of the second part 42. Finally, the refrigerant flowing out of the second part 42 flows back to the suction port 11 of the compressor 1 through the third port 53 and the second port 52 in turn, and the refrigerant flowing out of the first part 41 flows back to the suction port 11 of the compressor 1 through the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 in turn.
[0090] S3: determining whether the air conditioning system 100 meets the first defrost mode end condition;
[0091] S4: if the air conditioning system 100 meets the first defrost mode end condition, controlling the first port 51 and the third port 53 to be conductive, controlling the first throttling valve 43 to throttle and the second throttling valve 44 to be fully open, and controlling the first on-off valve 61 to be closed, so as to control the air conditioning system 100 to exit the first defrost mode and run the second defrost mode, in which the second part 42 is defrosted.
[0092] Thus, in the second defrost mode, the first valve port 21 and the second valve port 22 of the first reversing assembly 2 are kept conductive, the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 are kept conductive, the first port 51 and the third port 53 of the second reversing assembly 5 are controlled to be conductive, the first throttling valve 43 is controlled to throttle, the second throttling valve 44 is controlled to be fully open, and the first on-off valve 61 is controlled to be closed. At this time, the flow direction of the refrigerant in the second defrost mode can be: the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the exhaust port 12 of the compressor 1 flows to the first reversing assembly 2 and the second reversing assembly 5 respectively. The refrigerant flowing to the first reversing assembly 2 flows into the first reversing assembly 2 through the first valve port 21 and flows out of the first reversing assembly 2 from the second valve port 22. The refrigerant flowing out of the second valve port 22 flows to the indoor heat exchanger 3, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is heat-exchanged into high-temperature and high-pressure two-phase refrigerant in the indoor heat exchanger 3. After flowing out of the indoor heat exchanger 3, it flows to the first throttling valve 43, throttles and depressurizes through the first throttling valve 43, and then flows to the first part 41. The refrigerant flowing to the second reversing assembly 5 flows into the second reversing assembly 5 through the first port 51 and flows out of the second reversing assembly 5 from the third port 53. The refrigerant flowing out of the third port 53 flows to the second part 42, so that the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor 1 is cooled into high-pressure and medium-temperature liquid refrigerant in the second part 42, and the second part 42 is defrosted by using the latent heat of the refrigerant. The refrigerant flowing out of the second part 42 flows to the first throttling valve 43 through the second throttling valve 44, throttles and depressurizes through the first throttling valve 43, and then flows to the first part 41. Finally, the refrigerant flowing out of the first part 41 flows back to the suction port 11 of the compressor 1 through the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24.
[0093] S5: determining whether the air conditioning system 100 meets the second defrost mode end condition;
[0094] S6: if the second defrost mode end condition is met, controlling the second port 52 and the third port 53 of the second reversing assembly 5 to be conductive and the second throttling valve 44 to throttle, so as to exit the second defrost mode and run the heating mode.
[0095] As a result, when switching from the heating mode to the first defrost mode and the second defrost mode for defrosting the first portion 41 and the second portion 42, the first reversing assembly 2 remains in the same direction, thereby reducing the power consumption of the air conditioning system 100. Furthermore, the air conditioning system 100 can achieve uninterrupted heating, maintaining a high temperature indoors, and improving user comfort. Simultaneously, the first defrost mode utilizes the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the exhaust port 12 of the compressor 1 to defrost the first portion 41, resulting in a significant defrosting effect. The second defrost mode utilizes the second reversing component 5 to reverse a portion of the refrigerant at the exhaust port 12 of the bypass compressor 1 to the second part 42, and cools the refrigerant in the second part 42 into a high-temperature, medium-pressure gaseous refrigerant, and allows the refrigerant flowing out of the second part 42 to flow to the first part 41, so that the latent heat of the refrigerant can be utilized to defrost the second part 42. Through the defrosting method that combines low-pressure sensible heat with high-pressure waste heat, not only can the advantages of waste heat defrosting and sensible heat defrosting be utilized, but also the serious waste of waste heat defrosting capacity, poor reliability of sensible heat defrosting, and narrow applicable working conditions can be avoided, which is beneficial to improving the reliability and stability of the operation of the air-conditioning system 100.
[0096] In some embodiments, the first portion 41 is located directly above the second portion 42. In a first defrost mode, the first portion 41 is defrosted, and in a second defrost mode, the second portion 42 is defrosted. Thus, when the first portion 41 is located directly above the second portion 42, during the defrosting process of the outdoor heat exchanger assembly 4, the first portion 41 is defrosted first, and then the second portion 42 is defrosted after the first portion 41 is defrosted. This helps ensure the defrosting effect of the outdoor heat exchanger assembly 4 and prevents the problem of defrosting the second portion 42 first and then the first portion 41, which would cause the defrosted water in the first portion 41 to drip onto the second portion 42, which serves as the evaporator, causing the second portion 42 to freeze and thus deteriorate the defrosting effect of the second portion 42.
[0097] In some embodiments, to improve the evaporation capacity of the first portion 41, an outdoor fan 45 is disposed on a side of the first portion 41 away from the second portion 42. In step S4, if the air conditioning system 100 meets the first defrost mode termination condition, the outdoor fan 45 is controlled to turn on, thereby supplying air to the first portion 41 during the defrosting of the second portion 42. Thus, after the first portion 41 is defrosted, turning on the outdoor fan 45 can improve the evaporation capacity of the first portion 41, thereby increasing the suction pressure of the compressor 1. This allows for rapid air delivery to the indoor space after the air conditioning system 100 completes defrosting, thereby improving the user experience.
[0098] In some embodiments, the outdoor environment temperature Ta, the temperature Te1 of the second end of the first part 41, and the temperature Tg2 of the second end of the second part 42 are obtained before it is determined that the air conditioning system 100 meets the defrosting condition. If Ta≤a, Te1 / Tg2≤b, and the continuous operation time of the air conditioning system 100 in the heating mode reaches the first set time length, it is determined that the air conditioning system meets the defrosting condition. In this way, the air conditioning system 100 can accurately determine whether to defrost, which is conducive to improving the sensitivity and reliability of the defrosting of the air conditioning system 100.
[0099] For example, an outdoor temperature sensor can be arranged on the outside of the air conditioning system 100 to obtain the outdoor environment temperature Ta, a first part temperature sensor can be arranged at the second end of the first part 41 to obtain the temperature Te1 of the second end of the first part 41, and a second part temperature sensor 421 can be arranged at the second end of the second part 42 to obtain the temperature Tg2 of the second end of the second part 42.
[0100] In some embodiments, -7℃<a<7℃. For example, the threshold value a of the outdoor environment temperature Ta can be -6℃, -5℃, -4℃, -3℃, -2℃, -1℃, 0℃, 1℃, 2℃, 3℃, 4℃, 5℃, or 6℃, etc.
[0101] In some embodiments, -5℃≤b≤0℃. For example, the ratio of Te1 / Tg2 can be -5℃, -4℃, -3℃, -2℃, -1℃, or 0℃, etc.
[0102] In some embodiments, the first set time length≥10min. For example, the first set time length can be 10min, 11min, 12min, 13min, or 14min, etc.
[0103] In some embodiments, the first defrosting mode end condition is that the temperature Tg1 of the first end of the first part 41≥Tgo1 and lasts for a first preset time. In this way, the first defrosting mode can be exited in time when the first defrosting mode end condition is met, which is conducive to improving the intelligent degree and reliability of the air conditioning system 100.
[0104] For example, in the above-mentioned embodiments, the first part temperature sensor 411 can be arranged at the first end of the first part 41 to obtain the temperature Tg1 of the first end of the first part 41. Figure 8
[0105] In some embodiments, the second defrosting mode end condition is that the temperature Tg2 of the second end of the second part 42≥Tgo2 and lasts for a second preset time. In this way, the second defrosting mode can be exited in time when the second defrosting mode end condition is met, which is conducive to improving the intelligent degree and reliability of the air conditioning system 100.
[0106] In some embodiments, 10℃≤Tgo1≤25℃. For example, Tgo1 can be 10℃, 11℃, 12℃, 13℃, 14℃, 15℃, 16℃, 17℃, 18℃, 19℃, 20℃, 21℃, 22℃, 23℃, 24℃, or 25℃, etc.
[0107] In some embodiments, 5 seconds≤first preset time≤30 seconds. For example, the first preset time can be 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 20 seconds, 25 seconds, or 30 seconds, etc.
[0108] In some embodiments, 10℃≤Tgo2≤25℃. For example, Tgo2 can be 10℃, 11℃, 12℃, 13℃, 14℃, 15℃, 16℃, 17℃, 18℃, 19℃, 20℃, 21℃, 22℃, 23℃, 24℃, or 25℃, etc.
[0109] In some embodiments, 5 seconds≤second preset time≤30 seconds. For example, the second preset time can be 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 20 seconds, 25 seconds, or 30 seconds, etc.
[0110] The second defrosting control method of the air conditioning system 100 of the embodiments of the present application is described below. The second defrosting control method is a defrosting control method of the air conditioning system 100 based on the first part 41 being located directly above the second part 42.
[0111] Please refer to Figure 10 , Figure 10 The flow chart of the second defrosting control method of the air conditioning system provided by the embodiments of the present application is provided. The defrosting control method of the air conditioning system 100 includes the following steps:
[0112] S1: When the air conditioning system 100 operates in the heating mode, it is judged whether the air conditioning system 100 meets the defrosting condition. When the air conditioning system 100 is in the heating mode, the first valve port 21 and the second valve port 22 of the first reversing component 2 are conductive, the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 are conductive, the second port 52 and the third port 53 of the second reversing component 5 are conductive, the first throttle valve 43 is throttled, the second throttle valve 44 is throttled, and the first on-off valve 61 is closed.
[0113] S2: If the air conditioning system 100 meets the defrosting condition, the second throttle valve 44 is controlled to be fully closed, and the first on-off valve 61 is opened, so that the air conditioning system 100 operates in the first defrosting mode and defrosts the first part 41.
[0114] Thus, in the first defrosting mode, the first valve port 21 and the second valve port 22 of the first reversing component 2 are kept open, the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 are kept open, the second port 52 and the third port 53 of the second reversing component 5 are kept open, the first throttle valve 43 is throttled, the second throttle valve 44 is closed, and the first on-off valve 61 is opened. At this time, the flow direction of the refrigerant in the first defrosting mode can be: the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 12 of the compressor 1 flows to the first reversing component 2 and the defrosting branch 6 respectively, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flowing to the defrosting branch 6 flows into the first part 41. The refrigerant flowing to the first reversing component 2 flows into the first reversing component 2 through the first valve port 21 and flows out of the first reversing component 2 from the second valve port 22. The refrigerant flowing out of the second valve port 22 flows to the indoor heat exchanger 3, becomes high-temperature and high-pressure two-phase refrigerant after heat exchange in the indoor heat exchanger 3, and then flows out of the indoor heat exchanger 3 to the first throttle valve 43, and the refrigerant throttled and depressurized by the first throttle valve 43 flows into the first part 41. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flowing out of the defrosting branch 6 and the low-temperature and low-pressure two-phase refrigerant throttled out of the first throttle valve 43 flow into the first part 41 to remove the frost on the first part 41. The refrigerant flowing out of the first part 41 flows back to the suction port 11 of the compressor 1 through the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24.
[0115] S3: determining whether the air conditioning system 100 meets the first defrosting mode end condition;
[0116] S4: if the air conditioning system 100 meets the first defrosting mode end condition, controlling the first port 51 and the third port 53 to be open, the second throttle valve 44 to be fully open, and the first on-off valve 61 to be closed, so as to control the air conditioning system 100 to exit the first defrosting mode and run in the second defrosting mode, in which the second part 42 is defrosted.
[0117] Thus, in the second defrosting mode, the first valve port 21 and the second valve port 22 of the first reversing assembly 2 are kept open, the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 are kept open, the first port 51 and the third port 53 of the second reversing assembly 5 are kept open, the first throttling valve 43 is throttled, the second throttling valve 44 is fully opened, and the first on-off valve 61 is closed. At this time, the flow direction of the refrigerant in the second defrosting mode can be: the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 12 of the compressor 1 flows to the first reversing assembly 2 and the second reversing assembly 5 respectively. The refrigerant flowing to the first reversing assembly 2 flows into the first reversing assembly 2 through the first valve port 21 and flows out of the first reversing assembly 2 from the second valve port 22. The refrigerant flowing out of the second valve port 22 flows to the indoor heat exchanger 3, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is heat-exchanged into high-temperature and high-pressure two-phase refrigerant in the indoor heat exchanger 3. After flowing out of the indoor heat exchanger 3, it flows to the first throttling valve 43, is throttled and depressurized by the first throttling valve 43, and then flows to the first part 41. The refrigerant flowing to the second reversing assembly 5 flows into the second reversing assembly 5 through the first port 51 and flows out of the second reversing assembly 5 from the third port 53. The refrigerant flowing out of the third port 53 flows to the second part 42, so that the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor 1 is cooled into high-pressure and medium-temperature liquid refrigerant in the second part 42, and the second part 42 is defrosted by using the latent heat of the refrigerant. The refrigerant flowing out of the second part 42 flows to the first throttling valve 43 through the second throttling valve 44, is throttled and depressurized by the first throttling valve 43, and then flows to the first part 41. Finally, the refrigerant flowing out of the first part 41 flows back to the suction port 11 of the compressor 1 through the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24.
[0118] S5: determining whether the air conditioning system 100 meets the second defrosting mode end condition;
[0119] S6: if the second defrosting mode end condition is met, the second port 52 and the third port 53 of the second reversing assembly 5 are kept open, and the second throttling valve 44 is throttled, so as to exit the second defrosting mode and run the heating mode.
[0120] Therefore, when switching from the heating mode to the first defrosting mode and the second defrosting mode for defrosting the first portion 41 and the second portion 42, the first reversing component 2 is always not reversed, the power consumption of the air conditioning system 100 can be reduced, the air conditioning system 100 can realize uninterrupted heating, the indoor can always be kept in a high temperature state, and the user's comfort can be improved. In the second defrosting mode, the second reversing component 5 reverses part of the refrigerant in the exhaust port 12 of the bypass compressor 1 to the second portion 42, and the refrigerant is cooled to high-temperature medium-pressure gaseous refrigerant in the second portion 42, and the refrigerant flowing out of the second portion 42 can flow to the first portion 41, so that the latent heat of the refrigerant can be used to defrost the second portion 42. Through the defrosting mode combining low-pressure sensible heat and high-pressure waste heat, not only can the advantages of waste heat defrosting and sensible heat defrosting be utilized, but also the problems of serious waste of waste heat defrosting capacity, poor reliability of sensible heat defrosting, and narrow applicable working conditions can be avoided, which is beneficial to improve the reliability and stability of the air conditioning system 100. Moreover, since the first portion 41 is located directly above the second portion 42, when defrosting the first portion 41, the second portion 42 is not used as an evaporator by fully closing the second throttling valve 44, so that the problem of ice formation on the second portion 42 caused by the defrosting water of the first portion 41 falling on the second portion 42 when the second portion 42 is used as an evaporator during the defrosting process of the first portion 41 can be avoided.
[0121] In some embodiments, in the first defrosting mode, the first portion 41 is defrosted, and in the second defrosting mode, the second portion 42 is defrosted. Therefore, since the first portion 41 is located directly above the second portion 42, during the defrosting process of the outdoor heat exchanger assembly 4, by defrosting the first portion 41 first and then defrosting the second portion 42 after the defrosting of the first portion 41 is completed, the defrosting effect of the outdoor heat exchanger assembly 4 can be ensured, and the problem that the defrosting effect of the second portion 42 is poor when the defrosting water of the first portion 41 falls on the second portion 42 used as an evaporator after defrosting the second portion 42 first and then defrosting the first portion 41 can be prevented.
[0122] In some embodiments, in order to improve the evaporation capacity of the first portion 41, the outdoor fan 45 is arranged on the side of the first portion 41 away from the second portion 42, and in step S4, if the air conditioning system 100 meets the first defrosting mode ending condition, the outdoor fan 45 is turned on, so that air can be supplied to the first portion 41 during the defrosting process of the second portion 42. In this way, after the defrosting of the first portion 41 is completed, the outdoor fan 45 is turned on to improve the evaporation capacity of the first portion 41, and then the suction pressure of the compressor 1 can be improved, so that the indoor side can quickly blow air after the defrosting of the air conditioning system 100 is completed, which is beneficial to improve the user's experience.
[0123] In some embodiments, the outdoor environment temperature Ta, the temperature Te1 of the second end of the first portion 41 and the temperature Tg2 of the second end of the second portion 42 are obtained before determining whether the air conditioning system 100 meets the defrosting condition. If Ta≤a, Te1 / Tg2≤b, and the continuous running time of the air conditioning system 100 in the heating mode reaches the first set time length, it is determined that the air conditioning system meets the defrosting condition. Thus, the air conditioning system 100 can accurately determine whether to defrost, which is conducive to improving the sensitivity and reliability of the defrosting of the air conditioning system 100.
[0124] For example, an outdoor temperature sensor can be arranged on the outside of the air conditioning system 100 to obtain the outdoor environment temperature Ta, a first portion temperature sensor can be arranged at the second end of the first portion 41 to obtain the temperature Te1 of the second end of the first portion 41, and a second portion temperature sensor 421 can be arranged at the second end of the second portion 42 to obtain the temperature Tg2 of the second end of the second portion 42.
[0125] In some embodiments, -7℃<a<7℃. For example, the threshold value a of the outdoor environment temperature Ta can be -6℃, -5℃, -4℃, -3℃, -2℃, -1℃, 0℃, 1℃, 2℃, 3℃, 4℃, 5℃ or 6℃, etc.
[0126] In some embodiments, -5℃≤b≤0℃. For example, the ratio of Te1 / Tg2 can be -5℃, -4℃, -3℃, -2℃, -1℃ or 0℃, etc.
[0127] In some embodiments, the first set time length≥10min. For example, the first set time length can be 10min, 11min, 12min, 13min or 14min, etc.
[0128] In some embodiments, the first defrosting mode end condition is that the temperature Tg1 of the first end of the first portion 41≥Tgo1 and lasts for a first preset time. Thus, the first defrosting mode can be exited in time when the first defrosting mode end condition is met, which is conducive to improving the intelligent degree and reliability of the air conditioning system 100.
[0129] For example, in the above-mentioned embodiments, a first portion temperature sensor 411 can be arranged at the first end of the first portion 41 to obtain the temperature Tg1 of the first end of the first portion 41. An outdoor temperature sensor can be arranged on the outside of the air conditioning system 100 to obtain the outdoor environment temperature Ta, a first portion temperature sensor can be arranged at the second end of the first portion 41 to obtain the temperature Te1 of the second end of the first portion 41, and a second portion temperature sensor 421 can be arranged at the second end of the second portion 42 to obtain the temperature Tg2 of the second end of the second portion 42. Figure 8 For example, in the above-mentioned embodiments, a first portion temperature sensor 411 can be arranged at the first end of the first portion 41 to obtain the temperature Tg1 of the first end of the first portion 41. An outdoor temperature sensor can be arranged on the outside of the air conditioning system 100 to obtain the outdoor environment temperature Ta, a first portion temperature sensor can be arranged at the second end of the first portion 41 to obtain the temperature Te1 of the second end of the first portion 41, and a second portion temperature sensor 421 can be arranged at the second end of the second portion 42 to obtain the temperature Tg2 of the second end of the second portion 42.
[0130] In some embodiments, the second defrosting mode end condition is that the temperature Tg2 of the second end of the second portion 42 ≥ Tgo2 and lasts for a second preset time. In this way, the second defrosting mode can be exited in time when the second defrosting mode end condition is met, thereby facilitating to improve the intelligent degree and reliability of the air conditioning system 100.
[0131] In some embodiments, 10℃ ≤ Tgo1 ≤ 25℃. For example, Tgo1 can be 10℃, 11℃, 12℃, 13℃, 14℃, 15℃, 16℃, 17℃, 18℃, 19℃, 20℃, 21℃, 22℃, 23℃, 24℃ or 25℃, etc.
[0132] In some embodiments, 5 seconds ≤ the first preset time ≤ 30 seconds. For example, the first preset time can be 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 20 seconds, 25 seconds or 30 seconds, etc.
[0133] In some embodiments, 10℃ ≤ Tgo2 ≤ 25℃. For example, Tgo2 can be 10℃, 11℃, 12℃, 13℃, 14℃, 15℃, 16℃, 17℃, 18℃, 19℃, 20℃, 21℃, 22℃, 23℃, 24℃ or 25℃, etc.
[0134] In some embodiments, 5 seconds ≤ the second preset time ≤ 30 seconds. For example, the first preset time can be 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 20 seconds, 25 seconds or 30 seconds, etc.
[0135] The third defrosting control method of the air conditioning system 100 of the embodiments of the present application is described below.
[0136] Please refer to Figure 11 , Figure 11 The flow chart of the third defrosting control method of the air conditioning system provided by the embodiments of the present application. The defrosting control method of the air conditioning system 100 includes the following steps:
[0137] S1: When the air conditioning system 100 operates in the heating mode, it is judged whether the air conditioning system 100 meets the defrosting condition. Wherein, when the air conditioning system 100 is in the heating mode, the first valve port 21 and the second valve port 22 of the first reversing component 2 are conductive, the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 are conductive, the second end port 52 and the third end port 53 of the second reversing component 5 are conductive, the first throttle valve 43 throttles, the second throttle valve 44 throttles, and the first on-off valve 61 is closed.
[0138] S2: If the air conditioning system 100 meets the defrosting condition, the first port 51 and the third port 53 of the second reversing component 5 are controlled to be conductive, and the second throttle valve 44 is fully opened, so that the air conditioning system 100 runs in the first defrosting mode to defrost the second part 42.
[0139] Thus, in the first defrosting mode, the first valve port 21 and the second valve port 22 of the first reversing component 2 are kept conductive, the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 are kept conductive, the first port 51 and the third port 53 of the second reversing component 5 are controlled to be conductive, the first throttle valve 43 is controlled to throttle, the second throttle valve 44 is fully opened, and the first on-off valve 61 is closed. At this time, the flow direction of the refrigerant in the first defrosting mode can be: the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the exhaust port 12 of the compressor 1 flows to the first reversing component 2 and the second reversing component 5 respectively. The refrigerant flowing to the first reversing component 2 flows into the first reversing component 2 through the first valve port 21 and flows out of the first reversing component 2 from the second valve port 22. The refrigerant flowing out of the second valve port 22 flows to the indoor heat exchanger 3, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is heat-exchanged into high-temperature and high-pressure two-phase refrigerant in the indoor heat exchanger 3. After flowing out of the indoor heat exchanger 3, it flows to the first throttle valve 43, throttles and depressurizes through the first throttle valve 43, and then flows to the first part 41. The refrigerant flowing to the second reversing component 5 flows into the second reversing component 5 through the first port 51 and flows out of the second reversing component 5 from the third port 53. The refrigerant flowing out of the third port 53 flows to the second part 42, so that the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor 1 is cooled to high-pressure and medium-temperature liquid refrigerant in the second part 42, and the latent heat of the refrigerant is used to defrost the second part 42. The refrigerant flowing out of the second part 42 flows to the first throttle valve 43 through the second throttle valve 44, throttles and depressurizes through the first throttle valve 43, and then flows to the first part 41. Finally, the refrigerant flowing out of the first part 41 flows back to the suction port 11 of the compressor 1 through the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24.
[0140] S3: Determine whether the air conditioning system 100 meets the first defrosting mode end condition;
[0141] S4: If the air conditioning system 100 meets the first defrosting mode end condition, the third port 53 and the second port 52 of the second reversing component 5 are controlled to be conductive, the first throttle valve 43 is fully closed, the second throttle valve 44 is throttled, and the first on-off valve 61 is opened to control the air conditioning system 100 to exit the first defrosting mode and run in the second defrosting mode to defrost the first part 41.
[0142] Thus, in the second defrosting mode, the first valve port 21 and the second valve port 22 of the first reversing component 2 are kept open, the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 are kept open, the third port 53 and the second port 52 of the second reversing component 5 are kept open, the first throttling valve 43 is controlled to be fully closed, the second throttling valve 44 is throttled, and the first on-off valve 61 is opened. At this time, the flow direction of the refrigerant in the second defrosting mode can be: the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 12 of the compressor 1 flows to the first reversing component 2 and the defrosting branch 6 respectively, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flowing to the defrosting branch 6 flows into the first part 41, and the sensible heat of the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged by the compressor 1 is used to remove the frost on the first part 41. The refrigerant flowing to the first reversing component 2 flows into the first reversing component 2 through the first valve port 21 and flows out of the first reversing component 2 from the second valve port 22. The refrigerant flowing out of the second valve port 22 flows to the indoor heat exchanger 3, becomes high-temperature and high-pressure two-phase refrigerant after heat exchange in the indoor heat exchanger 3, and then flows out of the indoor heat exchanger 3 to the second throttling valve 44. The refrigerant throttled and depressurized by the second throttling valve 44 flows into the second part 42 and evaporates into low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant in the second part 42, and then flows out of the second part 42. Finally, the refrigerant flowing out of the second part 42 flows back to the suction port 11 of the compressor 1 through the third port 53 and the second port 52 in turn, and the refrigerant flowing out of the first part 41 flows back to the suction port 11 of the compressor 1 through the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 in turn.
[0143] S5: determining whether the air conditioning system 100 meets the second defrosting mode end condition;
[0144] S6: if the second defrosting mode end condition is met, controlling the first throttling valve 43 to be throttled and the first on-off valve 61 to be closed to exit the second defrosting mode and run the heating mode.
[0145] Therefore, when switching from the heating mode to the first defrosting mode and the second defrosting mode for defrosting the first portion 41 and the second portion 42, the first reversing component 2 is always not reversed, the power consumption of the air conditioning system 100 can be reduced, the air conditioning system 100 can realize uninterrupted heating, the indoor environment can always be kept at a high temperature, and the comfort of the user can be improved. At the same time, the second defrosting mode uses the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the exhaust port 12 of the compressor 1 to defrost the first portion 41, and the defrosting effect is remarkable. The first defrosting mode uses the second reversing component 5 to reverse a part of the refrigerant of the exhaust port 12 of the compressor 1 to the second portion 42, and makes the refrigerant cooled to high-temperature and medium-pressure gaseous refrigerant in the second portion 42, and makes the refrigerant flowing out of the second portion 42 flow to the first portion 41, so that the latent heat of the refrigerant can be used to defrost the second portion 42. Through the defrosting mode combining low-pressure sensible heat and high-pressure waste heat, not only the advantages of waste heat defrosting and sensible heat defrosting can be utilized, but also the problems of serious waste of waste heat defrosting capacity, poor reliability of sensible heat defrosting, and narrow applicable working conditions can be avoided, and the reliability and stability of the air conditioning system 100 in operation can be improved.
[0146] The technical effect and the end condition of this method are similar to those of the first defrosting control method described above, which will not be repeated here.
[0147] The fourth defrosting control method of the air conditioning system 100 of the embodiment of the present application will be described below.
[0148] Please refer to Figure 12 , Figure 12 The flow chart of the fourth defrosting control method of the air conditioning system provided by the embodiment of the present application. The fourth defrosting control method is a defrosting control method of the air conditioning system 100 based on the first portion 41 being located directly above the second portion 42.
[0149] The defrosting control method of the air conditioning system 100 includes the following steps:
[0150] S1: When the air conditioning system 100 operates in the heating mode, it is judged whether the air conditioning system 100 meets the defrosting condition. When the air conditioning system 100 is in the heating mode, the first valve port 21 and the second valve port 22 of the first reversing component 2 are conductive, the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 are conductive, the second port 52 and the third port 53 of the second reversing component 5 are conductive, the first throttling valve 43 is throttled, the second throttling valve 44 is throttled, and the first on-off valve 61 is closed.
[0151] S2: If the air conditioning system 100 meets the defrosting condition, the first port 51 and the third port 53 of the second reversing component 5 are controlled to be conductive, and the second throttling valve 44 is fully opened, so that the air conditioning system 100 operates in the first defrosting mode to defrost the second portion 42.
[0152] Thus, in the first defrosting mode, the first valve port 21 and the second valve port 22 of the first reversing component 2 are kept open, the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 are kept open, the first port 51 and the third port 53 of the second reversing component 5 are kept open, the first throttling valve 43 is throttled, the second throttling valve 44 is fully opened, and the first on-off valve 61 is closed. At this time, the flow direction of the refrigerant in the first defrosting mode can be: the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 12 of the compressor 1 flows to the first reversing component 2 and the second reversing component 5 respectively. The refrigerant flowing to the first reversing component 2 flows into the first reversing component 2 through the first valve port 21 and flows out of the first reversing component 2 from the second valve port 22. The refrigerant flowing out of the second valve port 22 flows to the indoor heat exchanger 3, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is heat-exchanged into high-temperature and high-pressure two-phase refrigerant in the indoor heat exchanger 3. After flowing out of the indoor heat exchanger 3, it flows to the first throttling valve 43, is throttled and depressurized by the first throttling valve 43, and then flows to the first part 41. The refrigerant flowing to the second reversing component 5 flows into the second reversing component 5 through the first port 51 and flows out of the second reversing component 5 from the third port 53. The refrigerant flowing out of the third port 53 flows to the second part 42, so that the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor 1 is cooled to high-pressure medium-temperature liquid refrigerant in the second part 42, and the latent heat of the refrigerant is used to defrost the second part 42. The refrigerant flowing out of the second part 42 flows to the first throttling valve 43 through the second throttling valve 44, is throttled and depressurized by the first throttling valve 43, and then flows to the first part 41. Finally, the refrigerant flowing out of the first part 41 flows back to the suction port 11 of the compressor 1 through the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24.
[0153] S3: determining whether the air conditioning system 100 meets the first defrosting mode end condition;
[0154] S4: if the air conditioning system 100 meets the first defrosting mode end condition, the second port 52 and the third port 53 of the second reversing component 5 are kept open, the second throttling valve 44 is fully closed, and the first on-off valve 61 is opened to control the air conditioning system 100 to exit the first defrosting mode and run in the second defrosting mode, in which the first part 41 is defrosted.
[0155] Thus, in the second defrosting mode, the first valve port 21 and the second valve port 22 of the first switching assembly 2 are kept open, the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 are kept open, the second port 52 and the third port 53 of the second switching assembly 5 are kept open, the first throttling valve 43 is throttled, the second throttling valve 44 is closed, and the first on-off valve 61 is opened. At this time, the flow direction of the refrigerant in the second defrosting mode can be as follows: the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 12 of the compressor 1 flows to the first switching assembly 2 and the defrosting branch 6 respectively, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flowing to the defrosting branch 6 flows into the first part 41. The refrigerant flowing to the first switching assembly 2 flows into the first switching assembly 2 through the first valve port 21 and flows out of the first switching assembly 2 from the second valve port 22. The refrigerant flowing out of the second valve port 22 flows to the indoor heat exchanger 3, becomes high-temperature and high-pressure two-phase refrigerant after heat exchange in the indoor heat exchanger 3, and then flows out of the indoor heat exchanger 3 to flow to the first throttling valve 43. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flowing out of the defrosting branch 6 and the low-temperature and low-pressure two-phase refrigerant throttled by the first throttling valve 43 flow into the first part 41 to remove the frost on the first part 41. The refrigerant flowing out of the first part 41 flows back to the suction port 11 of the compressor 1 through the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24.
[0156] S5: determining whether the second defrosting mode ending condition is met;
[0157] S6: if the second defrosting mode ending condition is met, throttling the second throttling valve 44 and closing the first on-off valve 61 to exit the second defrosting mode and run the heating mode.
[0158] The technical effects and ending condition of this method are similar to those of the second defrosting control method described above, and will not be described here.
[0159] Please refer to Figure 13 , Figure 13 The flow chart of the fifth defrosting control method of the air conditioning system provided in the embodiments of the present application. The step S6 of the defrosting control method of the air conditioning system 100 described above specifically includes the following steps:
[0160] S61: after the air conditioning system 100 exits the second defrosting mode, controlling the air conditioning system 100 to run the heating start-up mode. When the air conditioning system 100 is in the heating start-up mode, the second port 52 and the third port 53 are kept open; the first throttling valve 43 is throttled, the second throttling valve 44 is throttled, the first on-off valve 61 is closed, and the heating device 73 is opened.
[0161] Thus, in the heating start-up mode, the second port 52 and the third port 53 are kept open; the first throttling valve 43 is throttled, the second throttling valve 44 is throttled, the first on-off valve 61 is closed, and the heating device 73 is opened.
[0162] S62: Determine whether the air conditioning system 100 meets the heating start mode termination condition; S63: If the air conditioning system 100 meets the heating start mode termination condition, control the heating device 73 to turn off, so as to control the air conditioning system 100 to exit the heating start mode and operate in the heating mode;
[0163] In this way, the gas-liquid separator 7 is heated by the heating device 73, so that the liquid refrigerant accumulated in the gas-liquid separator 7 can be evaporated, thereby increasing the pressure and temperature of the gaseous refrigerant at the gas outlet 72 of the gas-liquid separator 7, and then increasing the exhaust pressure and exhaust temperature of the compressor 1, so that the speed of establishing the high and low pressure difference at the start-up can be increased after the air-conditioning system 100 exits the second defrost mode, thereby avoiding affecting the heating cycle capacity of the air-conditioning system 100, which is beneficial to improving the heating capacity of the air-conditioning system 100.
[0164] In some embodiments, the exit condition for the heating start mode is: the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger Tg3 ≥ Tgo3 and persists for a third predetermined time. Thus, the heating start mode can be promptly exited when the exit condition is met, thereby improving the intelligence and reliability of the air conditioning system.
[0165] In some embodiments, the air conditioning system 100 further includes an indoor fan 33, which can be located on one side of the indoor heat exchanger 3. The indoor fan 33 can be turned off when the air conditioning system 100 operates in the first defrost mode or the second defrost mode. This configuration helps improve the defrosting effect of the air conditioning system 100.
[0166] In some embodiments, 10° C. ≤ Tgo3 ≤ 40° C. For example, Tgo3 may be 10° C., 11° C., 12° C., 13° C., 14° C., 15° C., 16° C., 20° C., 25° C., 30° C., 35° C., or 40° C.
[0167] In some embodiments, 5 seconds ≤ the third preset time ≤ 30 seconds. For example, the third preset time may be 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 20 seconds, 25 seconds, or 30 seconds.
