The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and should not be understood as limiting the present application.

After entering the defrosting mode, the compressor 300 adjusts the frequency according to the water inlet temperature, and at the same time, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 400 is adjusted from the opening degree K0 before defrosting to the defrosting mode opening degree K.

[0065] The above heat pump unit automatically enters the defrosting mode after meeting the self-starting condition. After entering the defrosting mode, the compressor 300 adjusts the frequency according to the water inlet temperature and the electronic expansion valve 400 adjusts the opening degree. Since the frequency of the compressor 300 can be adjusted according to the real-time water inlet temperature, the problem of waste of energy of the heat pump unit due to too high frequency of the compressor 300 is avoided, and the service life of the compressor 300 is prolonged. The heat pump unit defrosts when the preset defrosting mode self-starting condition is met, achieving the effect of defrosting when there is frost and not defrosting when there is no frost, and effectively avoiding the problem of insufficient heating capacity caused by frequent defrosting of the heat pump unit.

[0070] When the water inlet temperature is greater than or equal to T2, the frequency of the compressor 300 is f3;

[0071] T1, T2 satisfy T1

[0072] In the embodiment, T1 = 40℃, T2 = 48℃; f1 = 75Hz, f2 = 65Hz, f3 = 60Hz. That is, when the heat pump unit enters the defrosting mode, if the water inlet temperature is less than or equal to 40℃, the frequency of the compressor 300 is adjusted to 75Hz; if the water inlet temperature is greater than 40℃ and less than 48℃, the frequency of the compressor 300 is adjusted to 65Hz; if the water inlet temperature is greater than or equal to 48℃, the frequency of the compressor 300 is adjusted to 60Hz.

That is, when (1)-(6) are simultaneously satisfied, the defrosting mode is self-started.

[0078] Further, the defrosting mode self-starting condition includes case four ((1)-(4) are simultaneously satisfied): (1) when the ambient temperature is less than or equal to -20°C and the compressor 300 heating cumulative running time is greater than 20 min, a low-pressure fault occurs; (2) the water supply temperature is greater than or equal to 17°C and the return water temperature is greater than or equal to 17°C; (4) the heat pump unit has no shutdown fault. That is, when (1)-(4) are simultaneously satisfied, the defrosting mode is self-started.

[0079] Referring to Figure 2 When any one of the above case one, case two, case three, and case four occurs, the heat pump unit enters the defrosting mode, the compressor 300 adjusts the frequency according to the water inlet temperature, and at the same time, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 400 is adjusted from the opening degree before defrosting to the opening degree in the defrosting mode.

[0080] Further, the heat pump defrosting control method further includes that when the heat pump unit satisfies a defrosting mode exit condition, the heat pump unit exits the defrosting mode, and after exiting the defrosting mode, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 400 is adjusted to a defrosting recovery opening degree K1, and the holding time of the defrosting recovery opening degree K1 is 50s-100s, wherein K1=K0+α*K0, and α is 5%-15%.

By gradually adjusting the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 400, the running stability of the heat pump unit in the defrosting exit process is ensured.
