[0025] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are intended to explain the present application, not to limit it. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings only illustrate portions relevant to the present application, not all structures.

[0026] It should be noted that due to space limitations, this application specification does not enumerate all optional implementation methods. After reading this application specification, those skilled in the art should be able to understand that as long as the technical features do not contradict each other, any combination of technical features can constitute an optional implementation method.

[0027] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as first and second are used only to distinguish one entity, operation, or object from another entity, operation, or object, and do not necessarily require or imply the existence of any actual relationship or order between these entities, operations, or objects. For example, the "first" and "second" in the first preset duration and the second preset duration are used to distinguish two different preset durations. In addition, in the description of this document, "plurality" means two or more.

[0028] In a heat pump system, when the heat pump system is in heating mode and the compressor is running at a medium or low frequency, the scheme of controlling the opening of the electronic expansion valve based on the return air superheat is very likely to increase the risk of liquid flooding due to the inaccurate judgment of the return air superheat by the heat pump system. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application provides an electronic expansion valve control method, which can be used to control the opening of the electronic expansion valve, such as Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the steps of the electronic expansion valve control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method includes the following steps:

[0029] Step S110: Acquire the ambient temperature, the exhaust temperature of the compressor, and the compressor frequency in real time.

[0030] For obtaining the above parameters, the corresponding parameter values ​​can be obtained through sensors and other detection devices. Similarly, the corresponding parameter values ​​can also be obtained by using the detection method of the above parameters in related technologies. This application does not limit this, and it is sufficient to obtain the corresponding parameter values.

[0031] Step S120: If the ambient temperature exceeds the preset upper limit within the first preset time period, it is determined to start the auxiliary control function of the electronic expansion valve and monitor the exhaust temperature and the compressor frequency.

[0032] If the detected ambient temperature exceeds a preset upper limit within a first preset duration (i.e., the ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the preset upper limit), an auxiliary control function is activated for the electronic expansion valve in the heat pump system. This auxiliary control function is used to adjust the opening of the electronic expansion valve. After the auxiliary control function is activated, the exhaust temperature and compressor frequency are also monitored to determine whether the corresponding preset conditions are met. It should be noted that the first preset duration is a pre-set determination period for whether the ambient temperature exceeds the preset upper limit.

[0033] Step S130: When the exhaust temperature is less than a preset temperature value and the compressor frequency is within a preset frequency range, the exhaust superheat is determined based on the compressor frequency, the ambient temperature, and the exhaust temperature.

[0034] It can be imagined that the preset conditions are that the exhaust temperature is less than the preset temperature value and the compressor frequency is within the preset frequency range, that is, only when the monitored exhaust temperature and compressor frequency meet the above conditions, the opening of the electronic expansion valve is adjusted and controlled based on the exhaust superheat.

[0035] In some embodiments, the exhaust superheat is determined based on the ambient temperature and the exhaust temperature. A first mapping relationship exists between the compressor frequency and the frequency base, i.e., each compressor frequency corresponds to a frequency base. Therefore, based on this first mapping relationship, a target frequency base corresponding to the current compressor frequency can be determined.

[0036] Similarly, corresponding to the ambient temperature, there is a second mapping relationship between the ambient temperature and the ambient temperature base, that is, each ambient temperature corresponds to an ambient temperature base. Therefore, based on the second mapping relationship, the target ambient temperature base corresponding to the current compressor frequency can be determined.

[0037] After determining the corresponding target frequency base and target ambient temperature base, combined with the preset compensation base, the compensation value can be calculated by multiplying the target frequency base, target ambient temperature base, and compensation base. Furthermore, based on the compensation value, the corresponding compensation temperature can also be determined. Specifically, the compensation temperature can be the sum of the compensation value and the condenser water outlet temperature. Therefore, the exhaust superheat value is the difference between the exhaust temperature and the compensation temperature.

[0038] It should be noted that for the compressor frequency within the preset frequency range, it changes linearly with the frequency base. Similarly, for the ambient temperature within the preset ambient temperature range, it changes linearly with the ambient temperature base.

[0039] Step S140: Execute a corresponding opening adjustment strategy for the electronic expansion valve according to the temperature range of the exhaust gas superheat.

[0040] The temperature value is pre-divided into multiple temperature ranges, and each temperature range corresponds to a different opening adjustment strategy for the electronic expansion valve. For example, if three temperature ranges are pre-divided, after determining the exhaust superheat, the corresponding opening adjustment strategy can be determined based on the temperature range in which the exhaust superheat falls.

[0041] In some embodiments, the temperature interval includes a first temperature interval, a second temperature interval, and a third temperature interval, wherein the temperature value of the first temperature interval is less than the first preset temperature, the temperature value of the second temperature interval is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature and less than the second preset temperature, and the temperature value of the third temperature interval is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature. It is conceivable that the first preset temperature and the second preset temperature are dividing values ​​between the temperature intervals.

[0042] When the exhaust superheat is in the first temperature range, the electronic expansion valve is adjusted according to PID (Proportion, Integration, Differentiation) based on the exhaust superheat, so as to determine the adjustment opening of the electronic expansion valve (such as the corresponding step) according to the corresponding calculation result; when the exhaust superheat is in the second temperature range, the opening of the electronic expansion valve is stopped from being adjusted, that is, within the second temperature range, the corresponding opening adjustment strategy is not to adjust the electronic expansion valve; when the exhaust superheat is in the third temperature range, the opening of the electronic expansion valve is adjusted according to the first preset step, and the interval between two adjacent adjustments is the second preset time length, that is, the opening of the electronic expansion valve is adjusted once every second preset time length, and the step of each adjustment is the first preset step.

[0043] As can be seen from the above scheme, this application obtains corresponding parameters, such as ambient temperature, compressor frequency, and exhaust temperature, and after turning on the auxiliary control function, implements different opening adjustment strategies for the electronic expansion valve according to the temperature range of the corresponding exhaust superheat. This application sets different opening adjustment strategies for different temperature ranges, responds to the corresponding opening adjustment strategy according to the range of exhaust superheat, and effectively controls the opening, thereby effectively reducing the risk of liquid backflow in the system and enabling more stable system operation.

[0044] In some embodiments, during the PID adjustment of the electronic expansion valve, a proportional parameter value, an integral parameter value, and a differential parameter value are preset, which are used to determine the corresponding target output step.

[0045] The exhaust difference is the difference between the exhaust superheat and the preset superheat; the temperature error cumulative value is the cumulative sum of the exhaust difference corresponding to each PID adjustment; the temperature difference is the difference between the exhaust difference corresponding to this PID adjustment and the exhaust difference corresponding to the previous PID adjustment.

[0046] After determining the corresponding exhaust difference, temperature error cumulative value, and temperature difference, the proportional parameter value is multiplied by the exhaust difference, the integral parameter value is multiplied by the temperature error cumulative value, and the differential parameter value is multiplied by the temperature difference, and the sum of the above products is used as the target output step.

[0047] After determining the target output step, the actual output step for this PID adjustment must be determined based on the historical output step corresponding to the previous PID adjustment. The actual output step is the sum of the target output step and the historical output step. It should be noted that the data generated by each PID adjustment (such as the output step, exhaust difference, etc.) is recorded in the storage device.

[0048] In each PID adjustment, the step output by this PID adjustment is determined in combination with the preset parameter values, current detection data and historical data, so that the opening of the electronic expansion valve is adjusted with this step. That is, by adjusting the opening according to the quantitative opening adjustment strategy, the opening of the electronic expansion valve is adjusted with the corresponding step, thereby achieving the effect of reducing the risk of liquid backflow.

[0049] It should be noted that the target output step is within the preset step range, meaning that both the maximum and minimum values ​​of the target output step are limited by the preset step range. It is conceivable that when the target output step value is not within the preset step range, its corresponding value is the maximum or minimum value of the preset step range. For example, if the target output step value is greater than the preset step range, it is taken as the maximum value of the preset step range.

[0050] In addition, in some embodiments, when the opening of the electronic expansion valve is less than the preset opening, the opening of the electronic expansion valve is adjusted according to the second preset step, and the interval between two adjacent adjustments is the third preset time length, that is, when the opening of the electronic expansion valve has not reached the preset opening, it is necessary to adjust it once every third preset time length, and the step of each adjustment is the second preset step.

[0051] Figure 2 As shown in the control flow chart provided for one embodiment of the present application, multiple conditions must be determined to determine whether to adjust the opening of the electronic expansion valve based on the exhaust superheat. For example, if the ambient temperature detected within 180 seconds (i.e., a first preset duration) is not less than a preset upper limit value d, the exhaust temperature is determined; if the exhaust temperature is less than 65°C (i.e., a preset temperature value), the compressor frequency is determined; and if the compressor frequency is within a preset frequency range H, the electronic expansion valve opening is determined to be adjusted based on the exhaust superheat.

[0052] The minimum value of the preset frequency range H is H06, and the maximum value is (H06+H08) / 2. H06 represents the set minimum heating frequency of the compressor, and H08 represents the set maximum heating frequency of the compressor.

[0053] When the exhaust gas superheat Ts is less than 12° C. (ie, the first preset temperature), PID regulation is applied to the electronic expansion valve. For example, the target output step is calculated using the following formula.

[0054] PID=KP*e(n)+KI*[e(1)+e(2)+……+e(n)]+KD*[e(n)-e(n-1)]

[0055] Wherein, PID represents the target output step of this PID adjustment, KP is the proportional parameter value, KI is the integral parameter value, KD is the differential parameter value, n represents the number of times PID adjustment is performed, and e(1), e(2)…e(n) are the exhaust difference values ​​in each PID adjustment, which is the difference between the exhaust superheat and the preset superheat.

[0056] Furthermore, when the exhaust gas superheat Ts is greater than or equal to 12°C and less than or equal to 22°C (i.e., the second preset temperature), the electronic expansion valve is not adjusted. When the exhaust gas superheat Ts is greater than 22°C, the opening of the electronic expansion valve is adjusted in 5 steps, with adjustments made every 90 seconds.
