[0035] Embodiment 1
[0036] Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a dual-compressor system according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in the figure, the dual-compressor system comprises a first compressor system and a second compressor system, both of which share a condenser 1, the first compressor system comprises a first capillary tube 4, a first evaporator 3 and a first compressor 2 connected in sequence, and the second compressor system comprises a second capillary tube 7, a second evaporator 6 and a second compressor 5 connected in sequence. Figure 1
[0037] The first compressor 2 and the second compressor 5 are connected to the front end of the condenser 1 through a first pipeline (A pipeline), and the first capillary tube 4 and the second capillary tube 7 are connected to the rear end of the condenser 1 through a second pipeline (C pipeline).
[0038] A first reversing valve 8 is arranged on the first pipeline, and a first branch (B pipeline) is connected to the first evaporator 3 between the first reversing valve 8 and the front end of the condenser 1; the first reversing valve 8 is used to control the switching of the first pipeline and the first branch, and when the first reversing valve 8 is opened, the refrigerant flow path is switched from the first pipeline to the first branch.
[0039] A second reversing valve 9 is arranged on the second pipeline, and a second branch (D pipeline) is connected to the second evaporator 6 between the second reversing valve 9 and the rear end of the condenser 1; the second reversing valve 9 is used to control the switching of the second pipeline and the second branch, and when the second reversing valve 9 is opened, the refrigerant flow path is switched from the second pipeline to the second branch.
[0040] The embodiment provides a dual-compressor system, and two refrigerant flow paths are arranged in each compressor system, the working start state of the first compressor system and the second compressor system can be selected according to the icing state of the evaporator, and the selection of the refrigerant flow path is controlled. Thus, the function configuration is reasonably used, and the energy consumption is reduced.
[0041] The double-compressor system of the embodiment further comprises a one-way valve 11 arranged on the second pipeline to prevent backflow of refrigerant when the pipeline switching is performed between the second pipeline and the second branch. The shunt valve 10 is arranged on the second pipeline to shunt the refrigerant flowing out of the rear end of the condenser 1 to the first capillary 4 of the first compressor system and the second capillary 7 of the second compressor system.
[0042] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the evaporator component structure according to the embodiment of the present application, as Figure 2 shown, 31 is an evaporator, 32 is a condenser branch, a pressure sensor 34 is arranged on each of the first evaporator 3 and the second evaporator 6 to detect the weight change amount of the first evaporator 3 and the weight change amount of the second evaporator 6. The weight change amount of the first evaporator 3 is used to determine the switching between the first pipeline and the first branch, and the weight change amount of the second evaporator 6 is used to determine the switching between the second pipeline and the second branch. A heater 33 is arranged on each of the two evaporators, specifically, a first heater is arranged on the first evaporator to realize defrosting, and a second heater is arranged on the second evaporator to realize defrosting.
[0043] The embodiment provides the A pipeline and the B pipeline which can be switched with each other, and the C pipeline and the D pipeline which can be switched with each other. The A pipeline is a pipeline connecting the compressor and the condenser 1, and the C pipeline is a pipeline connecting the condenser 1 and the capillary. A branch B is connected to the first evaporator 3 at the front end of the condenser 1, and a branch D is connected to the second evaporator 6 at the rear end of the condenser 1. The first switching valve 8 and the second switching valve 9 are used to control the opening of the B and D branches, and a part of the waste heat is recovered to realize defrosting, which can reduce the opening times of the heating device and the shutdown times of the compressor. The assembly mode of the evaporator is changed from the screw fixing assembly to the kinematic pair assembly, which can realize the up-down movement. A pressure sensor is arranged at the lower end of the evaporator to measure the weight change of the evaporator. When the large-capacity refrigerator is just started to work or the temperature difference between the chamber temperature and the set temperature is large, the first and second compressor systems work simultaneously. When the refrigeration system works for a long time, the temperature difference between the chamber temperature and the set temperature is small, and the second compressor system stops working, and only the first compressor system works.
[0044] The working principle of the dual-compressor system is as follows: when the first compressor system and the second compressor system work simultaneously, the refrigerant is converted into a high-temperature and high-pressure state after passing through the first compressor 2 and the second compressor 5; then, the first reversing valve 8 determines whether to pass through the A or B pipeline according to the weight change amount ΔG1 of the first evaporator 3, and when passing through the B pipeline, part of the waste heat can be used for defrosting the first evaporator 3; then, the refrigerant reaches the condenser 1, and the condenser device 1 dissipates the heat of the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant sent by the compressor to the air; the second reversing valve 9 at the tail end of the condenser 1 determines whether to pass through the C or D pipeline according to the weight change amount ΔG2 of the second evaporator 6, and when passing through the D pipeline, part of the waste heat can be used for defrosting the second evaporator 6; when the refrigerant passes through the B pipeline or the D pipeline, the length of the condenser 1 is equivalent to being extended, and heat dissipation is accelerated.
[0045] The function of the one-way valve 11 is to prevent the refrigerant from flowing back when the pipeline is switched. After passing through the condenser 1, the refrigerant is converted into a high-pressure and constant-temperature state, and the flow valve 10 divides the refrigerant into the first and second compressor systems. Then, the refrigerant reaches the first and second capillary tubes 4 and 7, respectively, and the capillary tubes convert the refrigerant from a high-pressure and constant-temperature state into a low-pressure and low-temperature state. Then, the refrigerant reaches the first and second evaporators 3 and 6, respectively, and the evaporator device evaporates the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant liquid sent by the capillary tube into saturated steam after absorbing the heat in the heat sink. Then, the refrigerant passes through the first and second compressors 2 and 5, respectively, and the compressor converts the refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure state, thereby forming a cycle and completing the heat transfer.
[0046] The embodiment also provides a refrigeration device, which comprises the dual-compressor system described above, and the refrigeration device can be a refrigerator, a freezer or the like.
[0047] The dual-compressor refrigeration system is composed of a first compressor system and a second compressor system, and the powers of the first and second compressors are different. The first compressor is a main compressor, and the power is a larger value. The second compressor is a secondary compressor, and the power is a smaller value. When the refrigerator is just started, a large amount of food is put in at one time, the door is opened and closed multiple times in a short time, or the like, the temperature in the compartment is greatly different from the set temperature, and the first and second compressors work simultaneously. When the refrigeration system works for a period of time, the temperature in the compartment is less different from the set temperature, and only the first compressor system is started, so that the function configuration is more reasonable and more energy-saving.
[0048] For the traditional defrosting scheme, defrosting is performed by setting a defrosting period. Compared with the traditional defrosting period, the defrosting start control of the embodiment is more timely, the number of times of starting the heating device and stopping the compressor can be reduced, and the refrigeration function does not need to stop working when defrosting.
[0049] Embodiment 2
[0050] According to the embodiment of the present application, a defrosting method of a dual-compressor system is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described herein can be executed in an order different from that shown.
[0051] Figure 3 is a flowchart of a defrosting method of a dual-compressor system according to an embodiment of the present application, which is applied to the dual-compressor system described above, as shown in Figure 3 , the method comprises the following steps:
[0052] Step S301, detecting the weight change amount of the first evaporator and the weight change amount of the second evaporator within a preset time period;
[0053] Step S302, triggering the switching between the first pipeline and the first branch according to the weight change amount of the first evaporator; triggering the switching between the second pipeline and the second branch according to the weight change amount of the second evaporator.
[0054] The embodiment can select the working start state of the first compressor system and the second compressor system according to the icing state of the evaporator, and control the selection of the refrigerant flow path. Thus, the function configuration is reasonably used, the defrosting control is more accurate and timely, and the energy consumption is reduced; the compressor does not stop working while defrosting by using waste heat, and the refrigeration function works normally; the number of compressor stop is reduced, the influence of the heater heat radiation on the temperature of the compartment is reduced, the fluctuation range of the temperature of the compartment is reduced, and it is more beneficial to food preservation and storage.
[0055] The technical solutions of triggering the switching between the first pipeline and the first branch according to the weight change amount of the first evaporator, and triggering the switching between the second pipeline and the second branch according to the weight change amount of the second evaporator will be introduced below.
[0056] 1) Determine the icing state of the first evaporator according to the weight change amount of the first evaporator; wherein, the interval range of the weight change amount corresponding to different icing states is preset; determine the corresponding refrigerant flow path according to the icing state, and execute the switching between the first pipeline and the first branch. Thus, the defrosting control is more accurate and timely, and the energy consumption is reduced.
[0057] It should be noted that the icing state at least includes: no ice state, little ice state, and much ice state; the above three icing states can be further subdivided, for example, the little ice state can be subdivided into a small amount of ice and a medium amount of ice, but the refrigerant flow paths corresponding to the two states after subdivision are consistent, and the control operations adopted are also consistent. The specific solutions of determining the corresponding refrigerant flow path to execute the switching between the first pipeline and the first branch according to the icing state will be introduced below:
[0058] If it is ice-free state, control the first compressor to work normally, the first heater to be closed, the first reversing valve to be closed, and determine the corresponding refrigerant flow path as the first pipeline;
[0059] If it is little ice state, control the first compressor to work normally, the first heater to be closed, the first reversing valve to be opened, and determine the corresponding refrigerant flow path as the first branch;
[0060] If it is much ice state, control the first compressor to be closed, the first heater to be opened, and the first reversing valve to be closed, and determine the corresponding refrigerant flow path as the first pipeline; after that, the weight change amount of the first evaporator is detected in real time; when the weight change amount corresponds to ice-free state, the defrosting mode is exited, and the first compressor is controlled to work normally.
[0061] Based on the weight change amount of the evaporator being in different interval ranges, the icing state of the evaporator can be determined, and accordingly the specific refrigerant flow path of the double-compressor system can be determined, for example, the selection of the first pipeline and the first branch, or the selection of the second pipeline and the second branch. Thus, waste heat recovery can be effectively realized, and the compressor can work normally without stopping while defrosting with waste heat.
[0062] 2) Determine the icing state of the second evaporator according to the weight change amount of the second evaporator; wherein interval ranges of weight change amounts corresponding to different icing states are preset; determine the corresponding refrigerant flow path according to the icing state, and perform switching between the second pipeline and the second branch. Thus, the defrosting control is more accurate and timely, and the energy consumption is reduced.
[0063] It should be noted that the icing state at least includes: ice-free state, little ice state, and much ice state; the above three icing states can be further subdivided, for example, the little ice state can be subdivided into little ice and medium ice, but the refrigerant flow paths corresponding to the two states after subdivision are consistent, and the control operations taken are also consistent. The specific scheme of determining the corresponding refrigerant flow path to perform switching between the second pipeline and the second branch according to the icing state is described below:
[0064] If it is ice-free state, control the second compressor to work normally, the second heater to be closed, and the second reversing valve to be closed, and determine the corresponding refrigerant flow path as the second pipeline;
[0065] If it is little ice state, control the second compressor to work normally, the second heater to be closed, and the second reversing valve to be opened, and determine the corresponding refrigerant flow path as the second branch;
[0066] If it is the multi-ice state, the second compressor is controlled to be closed, the second heater is controlled to be opened, the second reversing valve is controlled to be closed, and the corresponding refrigerant flow path is determined to be the second pipeline; after that, the weight change amount of the second evaporator is detected in real time; when the weight change amount corresponds to the no-ice state, the defrosting mode is exited, and the second compressor is controlled to work normally.
[0067] Based on the weight change amount of the evaporator being in different interval ranges, the icing state of the evaporator can be judged, and accordingly the specific refrigerant flow path of the double-compressor system can be determined, for example, the selection of the first pipeline and the first branch, or the selection of the second pipeline and the second branch. Thus, the waste heat can be effectively recovered, and the compressor can work normally without stopping and the refrigeration function can work normally while defrosting by using the waste heat.
[0068] The embodiment uses the weight change amount of the evaporator as a signal, adds a node for introducing waste heat defrosting, uses a pressure sensor to monitor the weight change amount of the evaporator, and accurately and timely controls the opening and closing of the waste heat introduction branch and the opening and closing of the heater, so that the defrosting control is more accurate and sensitive. The waste heat of the condenser is recovered, which is more energy-saving, and at the same time, the refrigeration function can work normally while defrosting. Defrosting by using the waste heat can reduce the number of times of stopping the compressor and opening the heating device, and reduce the temperature change amplitude of the chamber caused by the heating device defrosting and the refrigeration stopping, which is beneficial to the preservation and storage of food.
[0069] Embodiment 3
[0070] Figure 4 is a detailed flowchart of the defrosting method of the double-compressor system according to the embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 The method comprises the following steps:
[0071] Step 1, when the first and second compressor systems work simultaneously, the weight change amounts ΔG1 and ΔG2 of the first and second evaporators are detected by using a pressure sensor, specifically, ΔG1 and ΔG2 can be extracted every N minutes. According to the weight change amounts, the icing state of the evaporator can be divided into: no-ice state, little-ice state, and multi-ice state. The embodiment is further divided into: no-ice, little ice, medium ice, and large ice, and the demarcation points of the weight change amounts between the states can be set to M0, M1, and M2 respectively.
[0072] Step 2, when 0≤ΔG1≤M0, the state is regarded as no-ice, the first compressor works normally, the heating device is closed, the first reversing valve is closed, and the refrigerant flows through the A channel;
[0073] When M0≤ΔG1≤M1, the state is regarded as little ice, the first compressor works normally, the heating device is closed, the first reversing valve is opened, a part of the waste heat is introduced to defrost, and the refrigerant flows through the B channel;
[0074] When M1≤ΔG1≤M2, the state is considered as medium ice, the first compressor works normally, the heating device is closed, the first reversing valve is opened, a part of waste heat is introduced to defrost, and the refrigerant flows through the B passage;
[0075] When ΔG1≥M2, the state is considered as large ice, the first compressor is closed, the first reversing valve is closed, the refrigerant flows through the A passage, the heating device is opened, and the fast defrosting mode is started; after that, the pressure sensor monitors the weight of the first evaporator in real time, when ΔG1≤M0, the defrosting is finished, the defrosting is exited, and the first compressor is restarted.
[0076] Step 3, when 0≤ΔG2≤M0, the state is considered as no ice, the second compressor works normally, the heating device is closed, the second reversing valve is closed, and the refrigerant flows through the C passage;
[0077] When M0≤ΔG2≤M1, the state is considered as little ice, the second compressor works normally, the heating device is closed, the second reversing valve is opened, a part of waste heat is introduced to defrost, and the refrigerant flows through the D passage;
[0078] When M1≤ΔG2≤M2, the state is considered as medium ice, the second compressor works normally, the heating device is closed, the second reversing valve is opened, a part of waste heat is introduced to defrost, and the refrigerant flows through the D passage;
[0079] When ΔG2≥M2, the state is considered as large ice, the second compressor is closed, the second reversing valve is closed, the refrigerant flows through the C passage, the heating device is opened, and the fast defrosting mode is started; after that, the pressure sensor monitors the weight of the second evaporator in real time, when ΔG2≤M0, the defrosting is finished, the defrosting is exited, and the second compressor is restarted.
[0080] The embodiment introduces the defrosting control method when the first and second compressor systems work, and Table 1 shows the corresponding condenser and refrigerant flow passage branch when the weight change amount ΔG1 and ΔG2 of the first and second evaporators are in different interval ranges.
[0081]
[0082] When the refrigeration system works for a long time, the temperature difference between the interval room temperature and the set temperature is small, the second compressor system stops working, the refrigerant flows through the C passage, and only the first compressor system works, and the refrigerant flow passage control is executed according to the first evaporator weight change amount ΔG1.
[0083] When the chamber is put into food that produces less water vapor, the chamber humidity is smaller, the frost rate on the evaporator is slower, the frost can be defrosted by the heat introduced through the condenser, the opening of the heating device and the closing of the compressor are greatly reduced, and the refrigeration function can work normally when defrosting; when the chamber is put into food that produces more water vapor, the chamber humidity is larger, the frost rate on the evaporator is too slow to defrost the frost block in time through the heat introduced through the condenser, the weight of the evaporator increases rapidly, and the evaporator is quickly defrosted through the heating device. The device can reduce the opening times of the heating device for defrosting, reduce the influence of the heating device heat radiation on the temperature of the chamber, introduce part of the condenser waste heat for defrosting, reduce the working energy consumption, and be more energy-saving.
