[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments of the present invention and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Considering that variable-frequency compressors, such as rotary variable-frequency compressors, scroll variable-frequency compressors, piston compressors, etc., have the characteristic of adjustable operating frequency, generally manifested as the oil discharge rate increasing exponentially with the increase of frequency. The high-frequency oil discharge rate of variable-frequency compressors is mainly affected by the large refrigerant flow rate. If the operating frequency of the variable-frequency compressor is adjusted too quickly, the air flow of the refrigerant flow is disordered, making the components for reducing oil discharge (such as oil baffle plates) not play a good role in blocking oil, resulting in the oil that should not be pumped out of the variable-frequency compressor being discharged from the variable-frequency compressor, so the oil discharge rate of the variable-frequency compressor increases.

[0033] For example: When the variable-frequency compressor is under specific operating conditions, the oil discharge rate of the variable-frequency compressor is particularly prominent, such as reaching the following conditions:

[0034] 1) The variable-frequency compressor is operating at a relatively high frequency and the frequency is being adjusted rapidly. For example, the variable-frequency compressor is operating at a frequency of 80 Hz and the frequency is adjusted to 120 Hz within 40 s; or the variable-frequency compressor is in a situation of continuous large-range frequency adjustment. For example, the variable-frequency compressor is operating at a frequency of 30 Hz and the frequency is continuously adjusted to 120 Hz within 90 s.

[0035] 2) The exhaust and suction pressure ratio of the variable-frequency compressor is at a relatively low level. Especially when the evaporation temperature of the unit where the variable-frequency compressor is located, such as an air-conditioning system, is relatively high, at the start-up stage, for example, the suction pressure is 1.0 and the exhaust pressure is 1.6.

[0036] 3) At the start-up stage of the variable-frequency compressor, due to the gradual establishment of the exhaust and suction pressure difference, in order to adjust the variable-frequency compressor to the maximum working state as soon as possible according to customer requirements, continuous rapid frequency increase will be adopted. As described in conditions 1) and 2) above, at this time, the variable-frequency compressor will have a relatively high oil discharge rate, quickly emptying the refrigerant oil in the variable-frequency compressor and causing oil shortage and damage.

[0037] In some solutions, the operating frequency of the variable-frequency compressor is reduced by changing the configuration of the variable-frequency compressor or the unit (i.e., the unit where the variable-frequency compressor is located, such as the air-conditioning system where the variable-frequency compressor is located), but this will increase the cost and is not universal. For example, increasing the displacement of the large variable-frequency compressor to reduce the compressor operating frequency, or increasing the number of condensers and evaporators in the air-conditioning system where the variable-frequency compressor is located to improve the heat exchange efficiency and thus reduce the compressor frequency will both increase the cost and have poor universality.

[0038] Therefore, the solution of the present invention provides a control method for a compressor, specifically a frequency increase control method for a variable-frequency compressor in a unit, so as to optimize the frequency control logic of the variable-frequency compressor, reduce the compressor failure caused by easy oil shortage during high-frequency operation of the variable-frequency compressor, be beneficial to reducing the oil shortage failure rate of the compressor, and improving the operation reliability of the compressor and the unit where it is located.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a control method for a compressor is provided, as Figure 1 shown in the flowchart of an embodiment of the method of the present invention. The control method for the compressor may include: step S110 to step S130.

[0040] In step S110, during the operation of the compressor, specifically during the process of the compressor operating stably at the current operating frequency of the compressor, it is determined whether a frequency increase demand for the compressor is received. The frequency increase demand for the compressor is a demand to increase the frequency of the compressor.

[0041] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 2 the flowchart of an embodiment of determining whether a frequency increase demand for the compressor is received in the method of the present invention shown, the specific process of determining whether a frequency increase demand for the compressor is received in step S110 is further described, including: step S210 to step S230.

[0042] Step S210, determine whether the current environmental parameters of the unit where the compressor is located have not reached the target environmental parameters, and / or determine whether a frequency increase instruction for increasing the frequency of the compressor sent by the user is received. The current environmental parameters and target environmental parameters of the unit where the compressor is located, such as the current indoor temperature and the target indoor temperature of the air-conditioning system. The frequency increase instruction for increasing the frequency of the compressor sent by the user, such as when the user changes the target environmental parameters and the compressor needs to increase its frequency.

[0043] Step S220, if it is determined that the current environmental parameters of the unit where the compressor is located have not reached the target environmental parameters, and / or it is determined that a frequency increase instruction for increasing the frequency of the compressor sent by the user has been received, then it is determined that a frequency increase demand for the compressor has been received.

[0044] Specifically, Figure 6 is a schematic flowchart of an embodiment of the frequency increase control logic of the compressor in the unit of the present invention, specifically a schematic diagram of the frequency increase logic of the compressor. As Figure 6 shown, in the solution of the present invention, the process of controlling the frequency adjustment of the variable frequency compressor includes:

[0045] Step 1: After the unit where the variable frequency compressor is located, such as an air conditioning system, is powered on, the variable frequency compressor starts and runs, and then step 2 is executed.

[0046] Step 2: After the variable frequency compressor runs stably, the variable frequency compressor runs normally, and then step 3 is executed.

[0047] Step 3: Determine whether a frequency increase demand sent by the unit, such as an air conditioning system, to the variable frequency compressor is received. If so, step 4 is executed; otherwise, return to step 2.

[0048] Specifically, due to changes in the environment where the unit, such as an air conditioning system, is located or changes in customer requirements, when the controller of the unit, such as an air conditioning system, detects changes in the environment where the unit, such as an air conditioning system, is located or changes in customer requirements, it is considered that a frequency increase demand sent by the unit, such as an air conditioning system, to the variable frequency compressor is received, and then step 4 is executed.

[0049] At step S120, when it is determined that the frequency increase demand of the compressor has been received, obtain the suction superheat degree of the compressor, obtain the suction pressure of the compressor, obtain the discharge pressure of the compressor, and obtain the current operating frequency of the compressor. Among them, the suction superheat degree of the compressor is, for example, the suction superheat degree ΔTs of the variable frequency compressor, the suction pressure of the compressor is, for example, the suction pressure Ps of the variable frequency compressor, the discharge pressure of the compressor is, for example, the discharge pressure Pd of the variable frequency compressor, and the current operating frequency of the compressor is, for example, the current operating frequency F0 of the variable frequency compressor. Of course, when it is determined that the frequency increase demand of the compressor has not been received, continue to control the compressor to operate at the current operating frequency of the compressor.

[0050] At step S130, control the compressor to increase its frequency based on the current operating frequency of the compressor according to the suction superheat degree of the compressor, the suction pressure of the compressor, the discharge pressure of the compressor, and the current operating frequency of the compressor.

[0051] For the solution of the present invention, in order to balance the reliability of the variable-frequency compressor and customer requirements, a frequency increase control method for the variable-frequency compressor in a unit is provided. When the variable-frequency compressor needs to increase its frequency, the frequency increase rate of the variable-frequency compressor is calculated according to a pre-set rate algorithm for the frequency increase of the variable-frequency compressor, so as to optimize the frequency control logic of the variable-frequency compressor, reduce the compressor failure of the variable-frequency compressor caused by easy oil shortage during high-frequency operation, be beneficial to reducing the oil shortage failure rate of the variable-frequency compressor, improve the operation reliability of the variable-frequency compressor and the unit where it is located, and have low cost and strong applicability.

[0052] In some embodiments, for the specific process of controlling the compressor to increase its frequency based on the current operating frequency of the compressor according to the suction superheat degree of the compressor, the suction pressure of the compressor, the discharge pressure of the compressor, and the current operating frequency of the compressor in step S130, refer to the following exemplary description.

[0053] The following combines Figure 3 The schematic flow chart of an embodiment of the method of the present invention for controlling the compressor to increase its frequency based on the current operating frequency of the compressor is shown to further illustrate the specific process of controlling the compressor to increase its frequency based on the current operating frequency of the compressor in step S130, including: step S310 to step S330.

[0054] Step S310, determine whether a frequency increase request for controlling the compressor to increase its frequency needs to be sent to the compressor according to the suction superheat degree of the compressor and the current operating frequency of the compressor.

[0055] In some embodiments, for the specific process of determining whether a frequency increase request for controlling the compressor to increase its frequency needs to be sent to the compressor according to the suction superheat degree of the compressor and the current operating frequency of the compressor in step S310, refer to the following exemplary description.

[0056] The following combines Figure 4 The schematic flow chart of an embodiment of the method of the present invention for determining whether a frequency increase request for controlling the compressor to increase its frequency needs to be sent to the compressor is shown to further illustrate the specific process of determining whether a frequency increase request for controlling the compressor to increase its frequency needs to be sent to the compressor in step S310, including: step S410 to step S430.

[0057] Step S410, determine whether the suction superheat degree of the compressor is greater than or equal to a set value, and determine whether the current operating frequency of the compressor reaches the upper limit of the allowable frequency range of the compressor.

[0058] Step S420: If it is determined that the suction superheat of the compressor is greater than or equal to the set value, and it is determined that the current operating frequency of the compressor has not reached the upper limit of the allowable frequency range of the compressor, then it is determined that a frequency increase request for controlling the compressor to increase its frequency needs to be sent to the compressor.

[0059] Step S430: If it is determined that the suction superheat of the compressor is less than the set value, and / or it is determined that the current operating frequency of the compressor has reached the upper limit of the allowable frequency range of the compressor, then it is determined that a frequency increase request for controlling the compressor to increase its frequency does not need to be sent to the compressor.

[0060] Specifically, as Figure 6 shown, the process of controlling the frequency adjustment of the variable-frequency compressor in the solution of the present invention further includes:

[0061] Step 4: When it is determined that a frequency increase request of the variable-frequency compressor is received, obtain the suction superheat ΔTs of the variable-frequency compressor, and determine whether the suction superheat ΔTs of the variable-frequency compressor is ≥ the set value such as 1: If so, execute Step 5; otherwise, execute Step 7.

[0062] Step 5: When the suction superheat ΔTs of the variable-frequency compressor is ≥ the set value such as 1, determine that a frequency increase request needs to be sent to the variable-frequency compressor, and the controller of the unit where the variable-frequency compressor is located, such as an air-conditioning system, sends a frequency increase request to the variable-frequency compressor.

[0063] Step S320: If it is determined that a frequency increase request for controlling the compressor to increase its frequency needs to be sent to the compressor, then send a frequency increase request for controlling the compressor to increase its frequency. Calculate the frequency increase rate of the compressor according to the suction superheat of the compressor, the suction pressure of the compressor, the discharge pressure of the compressor, and the current operating frequency of the compressor, and control the compressor to increase its frequency based on the current operating frequency of the compressor at the frequency increase rate of the compressor to respond to the frequency increase request for controlling the compressor to increase its frequency.

[0064] In some embodiments, calculating the frequency increase rate of the compressor according to the suction superheat of the compressor, the suction pressure of the compressor, the discharge pressure of the compressor, and the current operating frequency of the compressor in Step S320 includes: determining a first ratio of the discharge pressure of the compressor to the suction pressure of the compressor, and determining the result of multiplying the first ratio by the suction superheat of the compressor and then dividing by a second ratio of the current operating frequency of the compressor as the frequency increase rate of the compressor.

[0065] Specifically, as Figure 6As shown, in the solution of the present invention for controlling the frequency adjustment of a variable-frequency compressor, the process further includes: In step 5, when the controller of the unit where the variable-frequency compressor is located, such as an air-conditioning system, sends a frequency increase request to the variable-frequency compressor, the process of calculating the frequency increase rate v of the variable-frequency compressor is specifically: Obtain the current operating frequency F0 of the variable-frequency compressor, obtain the discharge pressure Pd of the variable-frequency compressor, obtain the suction pressure Ps of the variable-frequency compressor, and calculate the frequency increase rate v of the variable-frequency compressor according to the frequency increase rate algorithm of the variable-frequency compressor v = ΔTs * (Pd / Ps) / F0, and then execute step 6. Wherein, the current operating frequency F0 of the variable-frequency compressor ≤ the upper limit of the allowable frequency range of the variable-frequency compressor.

[0066] Wherein, v is the frequency increase rate of the compressor, with the unit Hz / s. ΔTs is the suction superheat degree, with the unit of °C. ΔTs = the suction temperature of the variable-frequency compressor - the saturation temperature corresponding to the suction pressure of the variable-frequency compressor, and the value ΔTs ≥ 1. Pd is the discharge pressure, with the unit Mpa. Ps is the suction pressure, with the unit Mpa. F0 is the current operating frequency of the variable-frequency compressor.

[0067] Step S330, if it is determined that there is no need to send a frequency increase request for controlling the frequency increase of the compressor to the compressor, then adjust the operating parameters of the unit where the compressor is located, and then return to continue to determine whether the frequency increase demand of the compressor is received, so as to realize the cyclic control of the frequency of the compressor.

[0068] Specifically, as Figure 6 shown, in the solution of the present invention for controlling the frequency adjustment of a variable-frequency compressor, the process further includes:

[0069] In steps 4 and 5, when it is determined that a frequency increase request needs to be sent to the variable-frequency compressor, the controller of the unit where the variable-frequency compressor is located, such as an air-conditioning system, sends a frequency increase request to the variable-frequency compressor and calculates the frequency increase rate v of the variable-frequency compressor.

[0070] Step 6, control the variable-frequency compressor to increase the frequency at the calculated frequency increase rate v of the variable-frequency compressor. After that, the controller of the unit where the variable-frequency compressor is located, such as an air-conditioning system, exits the frequency increase request sent to the variable-frequency compressor and returns to step 3 to cyclically control the frequency of the variable-frequency compressor.

[0071] Step 7, when the suction superheat degree ΔTs of the variable-frequency compressor < a set value such as 1, adjust the operating parameters of the unit where the variable-frequency compressor is located, such as an air-conditioning system, such as the opening degree of the expansion valve, the fan speed, etc., and then return to step 4 to cyclically determine whether the suction superheat degree ΔTs of the variable-frequency compressor ≥ the set value such as 1 until the suction superheat degree ΔTs of the variable-frequency compressor ≥ the set value such as 1.

[0072] For example: The controller of the unit where the variable-frequency compressor is located, such as an air-conditioning system, detects the frequency increase requirement of the variable-frequency compressor. For example, it is necessary to increase the current operating frequency F0 of the variable-frequency compressor to 120 Hz. The controller of the unit where the variable-frequency compressor is located, such as an air-conditioning system, determines whether the current conditions are met: the current operating frequency F0 of the variable-frequency compressor = 10 Hz ≤ the frequency upper limit of 120 Hz, the suction pressure Ps of the variable-frequency compressor = 1.0, the suction temperature of the variable-frequency compressor is 15 °C, the suction superheat ΔTs of the variable-frequency compressor = 5 °C, and the discharge pressure Pd of the variable-frequency compressor = 1.6. Furthermore, when the suction superheat ΔTs of the variable-frequency compressor = 5 ≥ the set value, such as 1, the controller of the unit where the variable-frequency compressor is located, such as an air-conditioning system, sends a frequency increase request to the variable-frequency compressor. The variable-frequency compressor increases its frequency at a rate of v = ΔTs*(Pd / Ps) / F0 and exits the frequency increase request after the frequency increase is completed.

[0073] Figure 7 It is a schematic diagram of the relationship curve between the running time and the running frequency of the frequency increase control method of the compressor in the unit of the present invention when the frequency increase is fast at low frequencies and slow at high frequencies. During the process of the variable-frequency compressor increasing its frequency at a rate of v = ΔTs*(Pd / Ps) / F0, the frequency change process of the variable-frequency compressor is as Figure 7 shown.

[0094] The control unit 104 is specifically further configured to, if it is determined that the suction superheat degree of the compressor is greater than or equal to the set value and it is determined that the current operating frequency of the compressor does not reach the upper limit of the allowable frequency range of the compressor, determine that a frequency increase request for controlling the compressor to increase its frequency needs to be issued. For the specific functions and processes of this control unit 104, refer to step S420.

[0095] The control unit 104 is specifically further configured to, if it is determined that the suction superheat degree of the compressor is less than the set value, and / or it is determined that the current operating frequency of the compressor has reached the upper limit of the allowable frequency range of the compressor, determine that a frequency increase request for controlling the compressor to increase its frequency does not need to be issued. For the specific functions and processes of this control unit 104, refer to step S430.

[0096] Specifically, as Figure 6 shown, in the solution of the present invention for controlling the frequency adjustment of the variable-frequency compressor, it further includes:

[0097] Step 4: When it is determined that a frequency increase request of the variable-frequency compressor is received, obtain the suction superheat degree ΔTs of the variable-frequency compressor, and determine whether the suction superheat degree ΔTs of the variable-frequency compressor is ≥ a set value such as 1: If so, execute Step 5; otherwise, execute Step 7.

[0098] Step 5: When the suction superheat degree ΔTs of the variable-frequency compressor is ≥ a set value such as 1, determine that a frequency increase request needs to be sent to the variable-frequency compressor, and the controller of the unit where the variable-frequency compressor is located, such as an air-conditioning system, sends a frequency increase request to the variable-frequency compressor.

[0099] The control unit 104 is specifically further configured to, if it is determined that a frequency increase request for controlling the frequency increase of the compressor needs to be sent to the compressor, send a frequency increase request for controlling the frequency increase of the compressor, calculate the frequency increase rate of the compressor according to the suction superheat degree of the compressor, the suction pressure of the compressor, the discharge pressure of the compressor, and the current operating frequency of the compressor, and control the compressor to increase the frequency at the frequency increase rate on the basis of the current operating frequency of the compressor to respond to the frequency increase request for controlling the frequency increase of the compressor. For the specific functions and processes of this control unit 104, refer to Step S320.

[0100] In some embodiments, the control unit 104 calculates the frequency increase rate of the compressor according to the suction superheat degree of the compressor, the suction pressure of the compressor, the discharge pressure of the compressor, and the current operating frequency of the compressor, including: The control unit 104 is specifically further configured to determine a first ratio of the discharge pressure of the compressor to the suction pressure of the compressor, and determine the result of multiplying the first ratio by the suction superheat degree of the compressor and then dividing by a second ratio of the current operating frequency of the compressor as the frequency increase rate of the compressor.

[0101] Specifically, as Figure 6As shown, in the solution of the present invention for controlling the frequency adjustment of the variable-frequency compressor, the process further includes: In step 5, when the controller of the unit where the variable-frequency compressor is located, such as an air-conditioning system, sends a frequency increase request to the variable-frequency compressor, the process of calculating the frequency increase rate v of the variable-frequency compressor is specifically as follows: Obtain the current operating frequency F0 of the variable-frequency compressor, obtain the discharge pressure Pd of the variable-frequency compressor, obtain the suction pressure Ps of the variable-frequency compressor, and calculate the frequency increase rate v of the variable-frequency compressor according to the frequency increase rate algorithm of the variable-frequency compressor v = ΔTs * (Pd / Ps) / F0, and then execute step 6. Among them, the current operating frequency F0 of the variable-frequency compressor ≤ the upper limit of the allowable frequency range of the variable-frequency compressor.

[0102] Among them, v is the compressor frequency increase rate, with the unit Hz / s. ΔTs is the suction superheat degree, with the unit of °C. ΔTs = the suction temperature of the variable-frequency compressor - the saturation temperature corresponding to the suction pressure of the variable-frequency compressor, and the value of ΔTs ≥ 1. Pd is the discharge pressure, with the unit Mpa. Ps is the suction pressure, with the unit Mpa. F0 is the current operating frequency of the variable-frequency compressor.

[0103] The control unit 104 is specifically further configured to, if it is determined that there is no need to send a frequency increase request for controlling the compressor frequency increase to the compressor, adjust the operating parameters of the unit where the compressor is located, and then return to continue determining whether the frequency increase demand of the compressor is received, so as to realize the cyclic control of the frequency of the compressor. For the specific functions and processing of this control unit 104, refer to step S330.

[0104] Specifically, as Figure 6 shown, in the solution of the present invention for controlling the frequency adjustment of the variable-frequency compressor, the process further includes:

[0105] In steps 4 and 5, when it is determined that a frequency increase request needs to be sent to the variable-frequency compressor, the controller of the unit where the variable-frequency compressor is located, such as an air-conditioning system, sends a frequency increase request to the variable-frequency compressor and calculates the frequency increase rate v of the variable-frequency compressor.

[0106] Step 6: Control the variable-frequency compressor to increase the frequency at the calculated frequency increase rate v of the variable-frequency compressor. After that, the controller of the unit where the variable-frequency compressor is located, such as an air-conditioning system, exits the frequency increase request sent to the variable-frequency compressor and returns to step 3 to cyclically control the frequency of the variable-frequency compressor.

[0107] Step 7: When the suction superheat degree ΔTs of the variable-frequency compressor < a set value such as 1, adjust the operating parameters of the unit where the variable-frequency compressor is located, such as an air-conditioning system, and then return to step 4 to cyclically determine whether the suction superheat degree ΔTs of the variable-frequency compressor ≥ the set value such as 1 until the suction superheat degree ΔTs of the variable-frequency compressor ≥ the set value such as 1.

[0108] For example: The controller of the unit where the variable-frequency compressor is located, such as an air-conditioning system, detects the frequency increase requirement of the variable-frequency compressor. For example, it is necessary to increase the current operating frequency F0 of the variable-frequency compressor to 120 Hz. The controller of the unit where the variable-frequency compressor is located, such as an air-conditioning system, determines whether the current conditions are met: the current operating frequency F0 of the variable-frequency compressor = 10 Hz ≤ the frequency upper limit of 120 Hz, the suction pressure Ps of the variable-frequency compressor = 1.0, the suction temperature of the variable-frequency compressor is 15 °C, the suction superheat ΔTs of the variable-frequency compressor = 5 °C, and the discharge pressure Pd of the variable-frequency compressor = 1.6. Furthermore, when the suction superheat ΔTs of the variable-frequency compressor = 5 ≥ the set value, such as 1, the controller of the unit where the variable-frequency compressor is located, such as an air-conditioning system, sends a frequency increase request to the variable-frequency compressor. The variable-frequency compressor increases its frequency at a frequency increase rate v = ΔTs*(Pd / Ps) / F0 and exits the frequency increase request after the frequency increase is completed.

During the process of the variable-frequency compressor increasing its frequency at a frequency increase rate v = ΔTs*(Pd / Ps) / F0, the frequency change process of the variable-frequency compressor is as Figure 7 shown. The solution of the present invention increases the frequency increase rate during the frequency increase process with low oil discharge at low frequencies and reduces the frequency increase rate at high frequencies with high oil discharge rate, so as to achieve the effect of reducing the oil discharge rate at high frequencies.

Among them, Figure 9 (a) is a schematic diagram of the oil level under the frequency increase logic in the general solution (i.e., the related solution), Figure 9 (b) is a schematic diagram of the oil level under the frequency increase logic in the solution of the present invention.
