[0060] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments only represent some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the present application.

[0061] As described in the background, when a heating system or a refrigeration system is installed and used, it needs to be installed differently according to different installation areas. For example, taking an air conditioner as an example, when the air conditioner is installed and used, due to the difference in user room structure, the installation position of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is not the same, which can be near the same horizontal plane as the indoor unit, or can be installed at a position higher or lower than the indoor unit, so that there is a difference between the installation and use process and the design process of the air conditioner, which affects the refrigeration and heating effect.

[0062] Therefore, how to ensure the refrigeration and heating effect in actual use of users when the installation height of the outdoor unit is not at the same horizontal plane as the indoor unit has become a technical problem to be solved in the prior art.

[0063] Based on this, the embodiments of the present application provide an electronic valve control method, device and related equipment to ensure the refrigeration and heating effect in actual use of users.

[0064] Figure 1 is a control method flowchart of an electronic expansion valve provided by an embodiment of the present application, which is referred to Figure 1 The present embodiment can include the following steps:

[0065] Step S11, obtaining indoor and outdoor environment parameters of the target temperature control system, and obtaining a reference pressure value corresponding to the indoor and outdoor environment parameters in a preset environment parameter and pressure value corresponding relationship library;

[0066] Step S12, determining a current pressure value, and calculating a deviation between the reference pressure value and the current pressure value as a pressure value deviation;

[0067] Step S13, determining a target control mode in the preset control mode according to a size relationship between the pressure value deviation and a preset deviation threshold, and controlling the electronic expansion valve opening degree change according to the target control mode; wherein different electronic expansion valve opening degree parameters are set for each preset control mode.

[0068] Since the refrigerant changes between gas and liquid phases during heat exchange and circulation in the air conditioning system, the relative height of the indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner will affect the evaporation pressure, the condensation pressure, the system flow rate, etc. during the refrigerant circulation, thereby affecting the performance and reliability of the air conditioning system.

[0069] In a specific implementation process, the target temperature control system can be defined as an air conditioner or other refrigeration equipment, heating equipment, etc. Taking the air conditioner as an example, the control method of the electronic expansion valve of the present application is described, wherein the electronic expansion valve can be an electronic expansion valve in the air conditioner, for example, it can be an electronic expansion valve of an MT cabinet air conditioner. Wherein the electronic expansion valve is described, the general circulation process of the refrigeration system is compressor→condenser→throttling device (here the throttling device is an electronic expansion valve)→evaporator→compressor.

[0070] The indoor and outdoor environment parameters of the target temperature control system can be temperature and humidity, and a temperature and humidity and pressure value corresponding relationship library is constructed in advance, wherein the pressure value in the relationship library is a reference pressure value corresponding to the temperature and humidity, that is, the reference pressure value corresponding to the temperature and humidity under stable operation when the indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner are installed on the same horizontal plane is tested.

[0071] After obtaining the current indoor and outdoor environment parameters of the air conditioner, the corresponding reference pressure value α is determined in the relationship library, the current pressure value β is obtained, and the deviation between the two is calculated as the pressure value deviation γ=(α-β) / α; and the size relationship between γ and the preset deviation threshold is determined, thereby determining the target control mode.

[0072] Specifically, different control modes can be set in advance according to the relative position of the indoor unit and the outdoor unit, and different electronic expansion valve opening degree parameters are set for each different preset control mode.

[0073] It can be understood that the corresponding reference pressure value is determined through the indoor and outdoor environment parameters of the target temperature control system, so as to calculate the deviation of the reference pressure value and the current pressure value as the pressure value deviation, and the target control mode is determined according to the size relationship between the pressure value deviation and the preset deviation threshold, so as to control the electronic expansion valve opening degree change according to the electronic expansion valve opening degree parameter set in the target control mode. It can be understood that by using the technical solution, the actual operating pressure value of the indoor unit and the preset pressure value can be compared, so as to analyze the relative position of the indoor unit and the outdoor unit during installation, and the control mode is selected, and the electronic expansion valve opening degree is adjusted, thereby improving the actual use effect of refrigeration and heating, and improving the refrigeration and heating comfort experience of the user.

[0074] In some embodiments, the indoor and outdoor environment parameters of the target temperature control system are obtained, including:

[0075] In response to the control optimization mode trigger instruction, the control optimization mode is entered; in the control optimization mode, the indoor and outdoor environment parameters of the target temperature control system are obtained.

[0076] The control optimization mode trigger instruction can be a power-on instruction or a specific instruction input by the user.

[0077] It can be understood that by setting the control optimization mode trigger instruction, the air conditioner can enter the control optimization module, and the indoor and outdoor environment parameters of the target temperature control system are obtained in this mode, and the control method of the electronic expansion valve provided in the embodiment is executed, which is convenient for the user to select the mode.

[0078] In some embodiments, according to the size relationship between the pressure value deviation and the preset deviation threshold, the target control mode is determined in the preset control mode, and the electronic expansion valve opening degree change is controlled according to the target control mode, including:

[0079] When the pressure value deviation is greater than or equal to the first preset deviation threshold, and the pressure value deviation is less than or equal to the second preset deviation threshold, the first control mode is determined as the target control mode in the preset control mode, and the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled according to the first control mode; wherein the first control mode is the electronic expansion valve opening degree control according to the reference electronic expansion valve opening degree parameter.

[0080] The preset deviation threshold can include the first preset deviation threshold and the second preset deviation threshold, and the first preset deviation threshold is less than the second preset deviation threshold. For example, the first preset deviation threshold can be -5%, and the second preset deviation threshold can be 5%. It is worth noting that the specific values in the embodiment are only examples and are not limited.

[0081] When it is judged that the pressure value deviation is -5%≤γ≤5%, a first control mode is determined to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve. The first control mode can be that, in the heating and non-heating modes, the electronic expansion valve opening degree parameter is based on the test results when the indoor unit and the outdoor unit are placed on the same horizontal plane.

[0082] It can be understood that, by setting the first control mode, the control of the electronic expansion valve when the indoor unit and the outdoor unit are placed on the same horizontal plane is realized.

[0083] In some embodiments, according to the size relationship between the pressure value deviation and the preset deviation threshold, a target control mode is determined in a preset control mode, and the electronic expansion valve opening degree is controlled according to the target control mode, including:

[0084] When the pressure value deviation is less than a first preset deviation threshold, it is judged whether the current operating mode of the target temperature control system is a heating operation. If the current operating mode of the target temperature control system is a heating operation, a second control mode is determined as the target control mode in the preset control mode, and the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled according to the second control mode.

[0085] The second control mode is to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve according to the size relationship between the frequency and the preset frequency threshold.

[0086] In some embodiments, according to the size relationship between the pressure value deviation and the preset deviation threshold, a target control mode is determined in a preset control mode, and the electronic expansion valve opening degree is controlled according to the target control mode, including:

[0087] When the pressure value deviation is greater than a second preset deviation threshold, it is judged whether the current operating mode of the target temperature control system is a heating operation. If the current operating mode of the target temperature control system is a non-heating operation, a second control mode is determined as the target control mode in the preset control mode, and the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled according to the second control mode.

[0088] The second control mode is to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve according to the size relationship between the frequency and the preset frequency threshold.

[0089] For example, when it is judged that the pressure value deviation γ<-5%, it is judged whether the current operating mode of the current temperature control system is a heating mode. In the heating mode, a second control mode is determined to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve. In the non-heating mode, a third control mode is determined to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve.

[0090] It can be understood that the second control mode and the third control mode can be set to be selected in the heating mode and the non-heating mode, so as to improve the operation accuracy.

[0091] In some embodiments, in the second control mode, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled according to the size relationship between the frequency and the preset frequency threshold, including:

[0092] In the heating operation mode, if the current frequency is less than the first preset frequency threshold, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled to decrease by the first threshold value, and the system runs for a preset time length;

[0093] If the current frequency is greater than or equal to the first preset frequency threshold and less than or equal to the second preset frequency threshold, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled to decrease by the second threshold value, and the system runs for a preset time length;

[0094] If the current frequency is greater than the second preset frequency threshold, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled to decrease by the third threshold value, and the system runs for a preset time length;

[0095] The first preset frequency threshold is less than the second preset frequency threshold; the first threshold value is greater than the second threshold value, and the second threshold value is greater than the third threshold value.

[0096] For example, in the second control mode, if the current frequency A is less than the first preset frequency threshold (for example, 40 Hz) when the current operation mode is the heating operation mode, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled to decrease by the first threshold value (for example, 3P), and the system runs for a preset time length (for example, 300 s); if the first preset frequency threshold (for example, 40 Hz) is less than or equal to the current frequency A and less than or equal to the second preset frequency threshold (for example, 80 Hz), the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled to decrease by the second threshold value (for example, 2P), and the system runs for a preset time length (for example, 300 s); if the current frequency A is greater than the second preset frequency threshold (for example, 80 Hz), the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled to decrease by the third threshold value (for example, 1P), and the system runs for a preset time length (for example, 300 s). It should be noted that the numerical values in the embodiments of the present application are all enumerated and are not limited. Then the value of γ is detected and calculated again until γ≥-5%, and the current operation parameters are maintained.

[0097] In some embodiments, in the second control mode, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled according to the size relationship between the frequency and the preset frequency threshold, including:

[0098] In the non-heating operation mode, if the current frequency is less than the first preset frequency threshold, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled to increase by the first threshold value, and the system runs for a preset time length;

[0099] If the current frequency is greater than or equal to the first preset frequency threshold and less than or equal to the second preset frequency threshold, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled to increase by the second threshold value, and the system runs for a preset time length;

[0100] If the current frequency is greater than the second preset frequency threshold, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled to increase by the third threshold value, and the system runs for a preset time length;

[0101] The first preset frequency threshold is less than the second preset frequency threshold; the first threshold is greater than the second threshold, and the second threshold is greater than the third threshold.

[0102] For example, the second control mode can be: when the current operating mode is a non-heating operating mode, if the current frequency A < the first preset frequency threshold (for example, 40 Hz), the electronic expansion valve opening degree is controlled to increase by the first threshold (for example, 3P) for a preset time length (for example, 300 s); if the first preset frequency threshold (for example, 40 Hz) ≤ the current frequency A ≤ the second preset frequency threshold (for example, 80 Hz), the electronic expansion valve opening degree is controlled to increase by the second threshold (for example, 2P) for a preset time length (for example, 300 s); and if the current frequency A > the second preset frequency threshold (for example, 80 Hz), the electronic expansion valve opening degree is controlled to increase by the third threshold (for example, 1P) for a preset time length (for example, 300 s). It should be noted that the numerical values in the embodiments of the present application are all enumerated and are not limited. The value of γ is detected and calculated again until γ ≤ 5%, and the current operating parameters are maintained.

[0103] In some embodiments, according to the size relationship between the pressure value deviation and the preset deviation threshold, a target control mode is determined in a preset control mode, and the electronic expansion valve opening degree is controlled according to the target control mode, including:

[0104] When the pressure value deviation is greater than the second preset deviation threshold, it is judged whether the current operating mode of the target temperature control system is heating operation, and if the current operating mode of the target temperature control system is heating operation, a third control mode is determined as the target control mode in the preset control mode, and the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled according to the third control mode.

[0105] The third control mode is to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve according to the size relationship between the frequency and the preset frequency threshold.

[0106] In some embodiments, according to the size relationship between the pressure value deviation and the preset deviation threshold, a target control mode is determined in a preset control mode, and the electronic expansion valve opening degree is controlled according to the target control mode, including:

[0107] When the pressure value deviation is less than the first preset deviation threshold, it is judged whether the current operating mode of the target temperature control system is heating operation, and if the current operating mode of the target temperature control system is non-heating operation, a third control mode is determined as the target control mode in the preset control mode, and the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled according to the third control mode.

[0108] The third control mode is to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve according to the size relationship between the frequency and the preset frequency threshold.

[0109] When it is judged that the pressure value deviation γ > 5%, it is judged whether the current operation mode is heating, if the current operation mode is heating, the third control mode is determined to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve; if the current operation mode is non-heating operation, the second control mode is determined to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve.

[0110] When it is judged that the pressure value deviation γ < -5%, it is judged whether the current operation mode is heating, if the current operation mode is heating, the second control mode is determined to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve; if the current operation mode is non-heating operation, the third control mode is determined to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve.

[0111] In some embodiments, in the third control mode, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled according to the size relationship between the frequency and the preset frequency threshold, including:

[0112] In the heating operation mode, if the current frequency is less than the first preset frequency threshold, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled to increase by the first threshold value, and the system runs for a preset time length;

[0113] If the current frequency is greater than or equal to the first preset frequency threshold and less than or equal to the second preset frequency threshold, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled to increase by the second threshold value, and the system runs for a preset time length;

[0114] If the current frequency is greater than the second preset frequency threshold, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled to increase by the third threshold value, and the system runs for a preset time length;

[0115] Wherein, the first preset frequency threshold is less than the second preset frequency threshold; the first threshold value is greater than the second threshold value, and the second threshold value is greater than the third threshold value.

[0116] For example, the third control mode can be: when the current operation mode is the heating operation mode, if the current frequency A < the first preset frequency threshold (for example, 40Hz), the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled to increase by the first threshold value (for example, 3P), and the system runs for a preset time length (for example, 300s); if the first preset frequency threshold (for example, 40Hz) ≤ the current frequency A ≤ the second preset frequency threshold (for example, 80Hz), the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled to increase by the second threshold value (for example, 2P), and the system runs for a preset time length (for example, 300s); if the current frequency A > the second preset frequency threshold (for example, 80Hz), the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled to increase by the third threshold value (for example, 1P), and the system runs for a preset time length (for example, 300s). It should be noted that the values in the embodiments of the present application are all enumerated and are not limited.

[0117] In some embodiments, in the third control mode, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled according to the size relationship between the frequency and the preset frequency threshold, including:

[0118] In the non-heating operation mode, if the current frequency is less than the first preset frequency threshold, the electronic expansion valve opening degree is controlled to decrease by the first threshold value, and the operation is performed for a preset time length;

[0119] If the current frequency is greater than or equal to the first preset frequency threshold and less than or equal to the second preset frequency threshold, the electronic expansion valve opening degree is controlled to decrease by the second threshold value, and the operation is performed for a preset time length;

[0120] If the current frequency is greater than the second preset frequency threshold, the electronic expansion valve opening degree is controlled to decrease by the third threshold value, and the operation is performed for a preset time length.

[0121] The first preset frequency threshold is less than the second preset frequency threshold; the first threshold value is greater than the second threshold value, and the second threshold value is greater than the third threshold value.

[0122] For example, the third control mode can be: in the current operation mode is the non-heating operation mode, if the current frequency A < the first preset frequency threshold (for example, 40 Hz), the electronic expansion valve opening degree is controlled to decrease by the first threshold value (for example, 3P), and the operation is performed for a preset time length (for example, 300s); if the first preset frequency threshold (for example, 40 Hz) ≤ the current frequency A ≤ the second preset frequency threshold (for example, 80 Hz), the electronic expansion valve opening degree is controlled to decrease by the second threshold value (for example, 2P), and the operation is performed for a preset time length (for example, 300s); if the current frequency A > the second preset frequency threshold (for example, 80 Hz), the electronic expansion valve opening degree is controlled to decrease by the third threshold value (for example, 1P), and the operation is performed for a preset time length (for example, 300s). It should be noted that the values in the embodiments of the present application are all enumerated and are not limited.

[0123] It can be understood that the different control modes respectively arranged in the first control mode, the second control mode and the third control mode realize the consideration of different indoor units and outdoor unit installation positions.

[0124] In the second control mode, when the outdoor unit is installed lower than the indoor unit: In cooling mode, the resistance increases when the liquid refrigerant enters the indoor unit from the outdoor unit, reducing the system circulation flow and affecting cooling performance. Simultaneously, the system condensing pressure also increases, which may affect system reliability. Appropriately increasing the opening of the electronic expansion valve can improve system circulation flow and reduce system resistance, thus helping to ensure both cooling performance and system reliability. In heating mode, the resistance decreases when the liquid refrigerant enters the outdoor unit from the indoor unit, increasing system circulation flow and reducing evaporative superheat. In severe cases, incomplete evaporation or even liquid slugging may occur, damaging the compressor and affecting system reliability. Simultaneously, the condensing pressure decreases, and the condensing temperature also decreases, reducing the condensing heat exchange temperature and affecting indoor heating capacity. Appropriately reducing the opening of the electronic expansion valve can reduce system circulation flow and regulate condensing pressure and evaporative superheat, helping to ensure both heating performance and system reliability.

[0125] When the outdoor unit is installed higher than the indoor unit (third control mode), the situation is the opposite of the above. In cooling mode, the increased system circulation flow, decreased evaporative superheat, and reduced condensing pressure lead to a poorer cooling effect. The system state can be adjusted by appropriately reducing the opening of the electronic expansion valve to ensure cooling performance. In heating mode, the reduced system circulation flow directly affects the heating effect. The system state can be adjusted by appropriately increasing the opening of the electronic expansion valve to ensure heating performance.
