[0045] The present application provides a compressor frequency control method, device, equipment and storage medium, which is used to improve operation efficiency.
[0046] The terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth" and the like in the description and claims of the present application, and above drawings, if any, are used for distinguishing between similar objects and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the use of these terms herein is to be construed to cover a non-sequential process unless expressly indicated otherwise. Further, the use of "including", "comprising" and "having" and variations thereof herein are meant to encompass the items listed thereafter and equivalents thereof as well as additional items.
[0047] For the convenience of understanding, the specific flow of the embodiment of the present application is described below. It can be understood that the execution subject of the present application can be a compressor frequency control device, and can also be a terminal or a server, and the specific place is not limited. The embodiment of the present application takes the server as an execution subject for example.
[0048] Referring to Figure 1 An embodiment of the compressor frequency control method in the present application includes:
[0049] 101, obtaining a first compressor set, the compressors in the first compressor set are compressors in a running state;
[0050] At present, the common way for air conditioning of large space area is to connect multiple air conditioning units in parallel to control the large space area by increasing the total system displacement. Each air conditioning unit includes at least one compressor, and at least one compressor in each air conditioning unit can work independently, so that the compressor operation can be flexibly selected. However, if too many compressors are operated, although the air conditioning demand is met, the working frequency of the compressor is low. If too few compressors are operated, in order to meet the air conditioning demand, the compressor needs to be operated under heavy load, which affects the service life of the compressor.
[0051] The server obtains the compressors currently in a running state, aggregates the compressors in a running state, and obtains a first compressor set.
[0052] 102、acquire the working frequency of each compressor in the first compressor set, and calculate the average frequency according to the working frequency of each compressor;
[0053] The server acquires the working frequency of each compressor in the first compressor set, which can be the same or different. The server calculates the total number of compressors in the first compressor set to obtain the first quantity, calculates the total frequency sum of all compressors in the first compressor set, and determines the quotient of the total frequency sum and the first quantity as the average frequency.
[0054] 103、determine the target operation strategy according to the average frequency, which is an increase compressor strategy or a decrease compressor strategy;
[0055] The server acquires the optimal operating frequency range of the compressor, determines the maximum preset frequency as the maximum value of the optimal operating frequency range, and determines the minimum preset frequency as the minimum value of the optimal operating frequency range. When the average frequency is greater than the maximum preset frequency, the server determines that the currently running compressor is in a high load state, and at this time, if there is a compressor that has not been started, the increase compressor strategy is determined as the target operation strategy; when the average frequency is less than the maximum preset frequency, the server determines that the currently running compressor is running in excess, and at this time, the decrease compressor strategy is determined as the target operation strategy.
[0056] Optionally, different optimal operating frequency ranges can be flexibly set according to different running number values in the first compressor set to achieve the best control effect. For example, assuming that m is the first quantity, when 0
[0057] 104、adjust the first compressor set according to the target operation strategy to obtain a second compressor set;
[0058] When the target operation strategy is the increase compressor strategy, the server acquires the optimal working efficiency of the compressor, which can be the middle value of the optimal operating frequency range, divides the total frequency sum of all compressors in the first compressor set by the optimal working efficiency to obtain an integer value as the target quantity, determines the difference between the target quantity and the first quantity as the second quantity, which is the number of compressors to be started, selects compressors one by one from the compressors that have not been started, and starts them until the number of newly started compressors is equal to the second quantity or all the compressors that have not been started are started, and then the newly started compressors and the compressors in the first compressor set are aggregated to obtain the second compressor set.
[0059] When the target operation strategy is the compressor reduction strategy, the server determines a third quantity as a difference between the first quantity and the target quantity, the third quantity is a quantity of compressors to be turned off, turns off the compressors in the first compressor set one by one until the quantity of turned-off compressors is equal to the third quantity or all the compressors in the first compressor set are turned off, deletes the turned-off compressors in the first compressor set, and obtains a second compressor set, the second compressor set can be an empty set.
[0060] 105、adjusting the working frequency of each compressor in the second compressor set.
[0061] The server calculates a total quantity of the compressors in the second compressor set, obtains a fourth quantity, when the fourth quantity is 0, it means that all the compressors are turned off, and the working frequency of all the compressors is set to 0; when the fourth quantity is not 0 and the target operation strategy is the compressor increase strategy, the server calculates a sum of the first quantity and the second quantity, obtains a fifth quantity, and determines a ratio of a total sum of the frequencies of all the compressors in the first compressor set to the fifth quantity as the working frequency of each compressor in the second compressor set; when the fourth quantity is not 0 and the target operation strategy is the compressor reduction strategy, the server calculates a difference between the first quantity and the third quantity, obtains a sixth quantity, and determines a ratio of the total sum of the frequencies of all the compressors in the first compressor set to the sixth quantity as the working frequency of each compressor in the second compressor set.
[0062] In the embodiment of the application, the running compressors are monitored, when the average power of the compressors in the running state is out of the preset frequency range and is too high, additional compressors are started to reduce the high load of the running compressors, when the average power of the compressors in the running state is out of the preset frequency range and is too low, part of the running compressors are turned off to improve the working power of the remaining running compressors, and the operation efficiency of the compressors is improved.
[0063] Please refer to Figure 2 Another embodiment of the compressor frequency control method in the embodiment of the application includes:
[0064] 201、obtaining a first compressor set, the compressors in the first compressor set are compressors in a running state;
[0065] 202、obtaining a working frequency of each compressor in the first compressor set, and calculating an average frequency according to the working frequency of each compressor;
[0066] The steps 201-202 in the embodiment are the same as the steps 101-102, and will not be repeated here.
[0067] 203、judging whether the average frequency is greater than a maximum preset frequency;
[0068] The server obtains an optimal operating frequency range of the compressor, determines a maximum preset frequency as a maximum value of the optimal operating frequency range and a minimum preset frequency as a minimum value of the optimal operating frequency range, and determines whether the average frequency is greater than the maximum preset frequency.
[0069] 204、When the average frequency is greater than the maximum preset frequency, it is determined whether there is a non-started compressor;
[0070] When the average frequency is greater than the maximum preset frequency, the server determines that the currently operating compressor is in a high-load state, and determines whether there is a non-started compressor, which in this embodiment refers to a compressor that is normally functional but not activated.
[0071] 205、If yes, it is determined whether the duration of the average frequency is greater than a first time threshold;
[0072] If there is a non-started compressor, it means that there is another compressor that can be used to share the load of the operating compressor. To avoid misjudgment, the server monitors whether the duration of the average frequency corresponding to the first compressor set is greater than a first time threshold. If the duration of the average frequency can exceed the first time threshold, the server confirms that the compressor of the first compressor set is stable and the value of the average frequency is accurate.
[0073] 206、If yes, the increase compressor strategy is determined as a target operating strategy;
[0074] 207、The first compressor set is adjusted according to the target operating strategy to obtain a second compressor set;
[0075] The server counts the number of compressors in the first compressor set to obtain a first quantity. When the target operating strategy is the increase compressor strategy, the second quantity is obtained by calculation according to the first quantity, the average frequency, the maximum preset frequency, the minimum preset frequency, and a first preset formula.
[0076]
[0077] Wherein, m is the second quantity, x is the first quantity, y is the average frequency, a is the maximum preset frequency, b is the minimum preset frequency, the second quantity is the number of compressors to be started, and G(θ) is an integer function, G(θ) = 1 when θ < 1, and the integer function is used to output a positive integer obtained by rounding θ when θ ≥ 1.
[0078] For example, when θ = 0.4, G(0.4) = 1; when θ = 1.5, G(1.5) = 2; and when θ = 4.2, G(4.2) = 4.
[0079] The server selects at least one compressor from the non-started compressors to start until the number of newly started compressors is equal to the second number or all the non-started compressors are started, and then the newly started compressors and the compressors in the first compressor set are aggregated to obtain a second compressor set.
[0080] Specifically, the server selects the first compressor to start according to a preset priority selection rule, and after the first compressor runs for a preset time length, the second compressor is selected to start according to the preset priority selection rule, and after the second compressor runs for a preset time length, the third compressor is selected to start according to the preset priority selection rule, and so on, until the number of newly started compressors is equal to the second number or all the non-started compressors are started, which can ensure that each compressor smoothly transits from starting to running state and reduces electric field interference.
[0081] Here, a setting mode of a priority selection rule is given. In order to facilitate description, the composition of the parallel air conditioning units is first described. Each air conditioning unit includes at least one air cavity system, and each air cavity system includes at least one compressor. The priority selection rule is as follows:
[0082] 1. Determine whether there is a first air cavity system that contains both running compressors and non-started compressors. If there is, select one non-started compressor in the first air cavity system to start;
[0083] 2. If not, determine whether there is a first air conditioning unit that is not started. If there is a first air conditioning unit, select one compressor in the first air conditioning unit to start;
[0084] 3. If not, determine whether there is a second air conditioning unit that contains both running air cavity systems and non-running air cavity systems. If there is, select one compressor in the non-running air cavity system of the second air conditioning unit to start;
[0085] 4. If not, select the compressor with the least running time to start.
[0086] The setting of the priority selection rule makes the compressors run as much as possible in the same air cavity system and the same air conditioning unit, fully utilizes the consumption of the shared parts, reduces unnecessary power consumption, saves costs, or selects the compressors with less running time to balance the use time of the compressors, so that the losses of the air conditioning units tend to be synchronized and maintain a good running state.
[0087] 208. Adjust the working frequency of each compressor in the second compressor set.
[0088] The server calculates the first frequency according to the first number, the average frequency, the second number, and a second preset formula. The second preset formula is:
[0089]
[0090] wherein, f1 is the first frequency, x is the first quantity, y is the average frequency, and m is the second quantity, and the first frequency is determined as the working frequency of each compressor in the second compressor set.
[0091] In the embodiment of the present application, the running compressor is monitored, when the average power of the compressor in the running state is out of the preset frequency range and is high, the additional compressor is started to reduce the high load of the running compressor, and the running efficiency of the compressor is improved.
[0092] Please refer to Figure 3 Another embodiment of the compressor frequency control method in the embodiment of the present application comprises:
[0093] 301, a first compressor set is obtained, and the compressors in the first compressor set are compressors in a running state;
[0094] 302, the working frequency of each compressor in the first compressor set is obtained, and the average frequency is calculated according to the working frequency of each compressor;
[0095] The steps 301-302 in the embodiment are the same as the steps 101-102, and will not be repeated here.
[0096] 303, whether the average frequency is less than the minimum preset frequency is judged;
[0097] The server obtains the optimal running frequency range of the compressor, determines the maximum value of the optimal running frequency range as the maximum preset frequency, and determines the minimum value of the optimal running frequency range as the minimum preset frequency, and judges whether the average frequency is less than the minimum preset frequency.
[0098] 304, when the average frequency is less than the minimum preset frequency, whether the duration of the average frequency is greater than the second time threshold is judged;
[0099] When the average frequency is less than the maximum preset frequency, in order to avoid misjudgment, the server monitors whether the duration of the average frequency corresponding to the first compressor set is greater than the second time threshold, if the duration of the average frequency can exceed the second time threshold, the server confirms that the compressor of the first compressor set is stable, and the value of the average frequency is accurate.
[0100] 305, if yes, the compressor reduction strategy is determined as the target running strategy;
[0101] 306, the first compressor set is adjusted according to the target running strategy to obtain a second compressor set;
[0102] The server counts the number of compressors in the first compressor set to obtain a first number, and when the target operation strategy is the compressor reduction strategy, the first number, the average frequency, the maximum preset frequency, the minimum preset frequency, and a third preset formula are used for calculation to obtain a third number, and the third preset formula is:
[0103]
[0104] wherein n is the third number, x is the first number, y is the average frequency, a is the maximum preset frequency, b is the minimum preset frequency, the third number is the number of compressors to be closed, and G(θ) is an integer function, wherein when θ<1, G(θ)=1, and when θ≥1, the integer function is used to output a positive integer obtained by rounding θ.
[0105] For example, when θ=0.4, G(0.4)=1; when θ=1.5, G(1.5)=2; and when θ=4.2, G(4.2)=4.
[0106] The server selects at least one compressor from the first compressor set to be closed until the number of closed compressors is equal to the third number or all compressors in the first compressor set are closed, and deletes the closed compressors in the first compressor set to obtain a second compressor set.
[0107] Specifically, the server selects the first compressor to be closed according to a preset priority closing rule, and after the first compressor is closed for a preset time length, the second compressor is selected to be closed according to the preset priority closing rule, and after the second compressor is closed for a preset time length, the third compressor is selected to be closed according to the preset priority closing rule, and so on, until the number of closed compressors is equal to the third number or all compressors are closed, so as to ensure a good transition in human body feeling in the temperature control area and ensure comfort.
[0108] Here, a setting mode of the priority closing rule is given. For the convenience of description, the constitution of the parallel air conditioning unit is first described, each air conditioning unit includes at least one air cavity system, and each air cavity system includes at least one compressor. The priority closing rule is as follows:
[0109] 1. It is judged whether there is a second air cavity system containing both a running compressor and a non-started compressor, if there is, a running compressor in the second air cavity system is selected to be closed;
[0110] 2. If not, it is judged whether there is a third air conditioning unit in which all air cavity systems are running, if there is a third air conditioning unit, a compressor in the third air conditioning unit is selected to be closed;
[0111] 3. If not, the compressor with the longest running time is closed.
[0112] The setting of the priority closing rule makes the compressors concentrate on the same air cavity system as much as possible, fully utilizes the consumption of the shared part, reduces unnecessary power consumption, saves cost, or selects the compressor with long running time to balance the use time of the compressors, so that the loss of each air conditioning unit tends to be synchronized, and a good running state is maintained.
[0113] 307、adjusting the working frequency of each compressor in the second compressor set.
[0114] When the second compressor set is not empty, the server calculates the second frequency according to the first quantity, the average frequency, the third quantity, and the fourth preset formula, and the fourth preset formula is:
[0115]
[0116] Wherein, f2 is the second frequency, x is the first quantity, y is the average frequency, and n is the third quantity, and the second frequency is determined as the working frequency of each compressor in the second compressor set,
[0117] When the second compressor set is empty, the working frequency of each compressor in the first compressor set is set to 0. It should be noted that as long as the first compressor set is not empty, the compressor needs to run to meet the demand of air conditioning, and when the second compressor set is empty, the effect of air conditioning is lost, therefore, when the second compressor set is empty, the server continuously detects the temperature of the water outlet of each air conditioning unit, and when the temperature of the water outlet meets the preset starting condition, the air conditioning unit with the shortest running time is started.
