Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to a control method, system, device and storage medium for a dual-heat-source air conditioner. Background Technology
[0002] As residents' living standards improve, the demand for heating is constantly increasing, especially in cold northern regions. Current technologies typically employ air-source heat pump air conditioning for heating, while variable frequency enthalpy-enhancing air conditioning is used to improve heating performance in low-temperature environments. The compressor operates at high frequency at low temperatures, and simultaneously replenishes gas to increase enthalpy and enhance heating capacity, thus achieving low-temperature heating.
[0003] However, although air source heat pump air conditioners can improve the heating effect at low temperatures to some extent, their heating performance will decrease as the outdoor ambient temperature decreases. Therefore, air source heat pump air conditioners cannot meet the daily heating needs of users in cold northern regions during winter.
[0004] This shows that there is a technical problem with air source heat pumps in low-temperature scenarios. Summary of the Invention

[0034] When the current indoor air outlet temperature is greater than the fourth preset temperature, the gas heating intensity is controlled to the minimum by adjusting the opening of the gas valve to the minimum opening.
[0035] When the current indoor temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature difference and less than or equal to the second preset temperature difference, gas heating is started. When the current indoor air outlet temperature is less than the third preset temperature, the rotation speed is reduced. After the rotation speed is reduced, when the third indoor air outlet temperature is less than the first preset temperature difference after a fourth preset time, the gas heating is controlled to the maximum intensity by adjusting the opening of the gas valve to the maximum opening.

[0064] To address the technical problem of poor heating performance of air source heat pumps in low-temperature scenarios in existing technologies, this application provides a method. Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the steps of a control method for a dual-heat-source air conditioner, as provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown: The control method for a dual-heat-source air conditioner includes:
[0065] S101: Receives control commands for controlling the air conditioner's operating mode.
[0066] Among them, the control command can be a command sent by the user to select the air conditioner's operating mode.
[0067] Specifically, the control module in the air conditioner receives instructions from the user to control the air conditioner's operating mode. Optionally, the air conditioner's operating mode can be set before leaving the factory, or the user can set or adjust the air conditioner's operating mode during use. The control instructions can be sent from the control terminal to the control module in the air conditioner via infrared or Bluetooth.
[0068] S102: In response to a control command, control the air conditioner to operate in the operating mode indicated by the control command, wherein the operating mode includes a normal heating mode or a strong heating mode.
[0069] Optionally, the operating mode may also include a cooling mode.
[0070] Specifically, the control module in the air conditioner receives control commands sent by the control terminal and responds to the control commands by setting or adjusting the operating mode of the air conditioner. The control commands may include regular heating commands, strong heating commands, and cooling modes.
[0071] S103: Receive a temperature adjustment command including a target temperature, wherein the target temperature is the temperature to be adjusted.
[0072] Among them, the temperature adjustment command can be a command sent by the user to adjust the indoor temperature to the desired temperature.
[0073] Specifically, the control module in the air conditioner receives temperature adjustment commands sent by the user, and the user can set or adjust the temperature according to the scenario.
[0074] S104: Get the current outdoor temperature and the current indoor temperature.
[0075] Optionally, the current outdoor temperature and the current indoor temperature can be detected by temperature sensors installed in the air conditioner.
[0076] Specifically, the air conditioner is equipped with an ambient temperature sensor and an air outlet temperature sensor. The ambient temperature sensor is located in the outdoor unit, and the air inlet temperature sensor is located in the indoor unit. The ambient temperature sensor can detect the current outdoor temperature and send it to the control module, while the air inlet temperature sensor can detect the current indoor temperature and send it to the control module.
[0077] S105: When the operating mode is normal heating mode, the air conditioner is controlled to heat according to the current outdoor temperature and the current indoor temperature until the target temperature difference is less than the preset difference value, where the target temperature difference is the difference between the latest indoor temperature and the target temperature.
[0078] The preset difference can be set before the air conditioner leaves the factory, or it can be set or adjusted by relevant personnel.
[0079] Optionally, the latest indoor temperature is the temperature most recently detected by the air intake temperature sensor. The preset difference can be adjusted according to the required temperature accuracy for the application scenario. For example, the preset difference can be set to 2 for indoor heating and to 0 for laboratory plant cultivation.
[0080] Specifically, when the air conditioner is in normal heating mode, it controls the air conditioner to heat according to the current outdoor temperature and the current indoor temperature. The air intake temperature sensor sends the latest indoor temperature detected to the control module at preset time intervals. The control module calculates the difference between the latest indoor temperature and the target temperature and uses the difference as the target temperature difference. When the target temperature difference is less than the preset difference, the control module controls the air conditioner to stop heating.
[0081] S106: When the operating mode is strong heating mode, the air conditioner is controlled to heat according to the current outdoor temperature, current indoor temperature and current indoor air outlet temperature until the target temperature difference is less than the preset difference value.
[0082] Specifically, when the air conditioner is in strong heating mode, it heats according to the current outdoor temperature, current indoor temperature, and current indoor air outlet temperature until the target temperature difference is less than the preset difference. The indoor unit of the air conditioner is also equipped with an air outlet temperature sensor, which can detect the indoor air outlet temperature.
[0083] The technical solution provided in this application embodiment receives a control command for controlling the air conditioner's operating mode; responds to the control command, controls the air conditioner to operate in the operating mode indicated by the control command, wherein the operating mode includes a normal heating mode or a powerful heating mode; by dividing the air conditioner's operating mode into a normal heating mode and a powerful heating mode, the air conditioner heats in different ways under different modes, saving energy while ensuring heating effect under various temperature environments; by setting to receive a temperature adjustment command including a target temperature, wherein the target temperature is the temperature to be adjusted; obtains the current outdoor temperature and the current indoor temperature; when the operating mode is normal heating mode, controls the air conditioner to heat according to the current outdoor temperature and the current indoor temperature until the target temperature difference is less than a preset difference value, wherein the target temperature difference is the difference between the latest indoor temperature and the target temperature; when the operating mode is powerful heating mode, controls the air conditioner to heat according to the current outdoor temperature, the current indoor temperature, and the current indoor air outlet temperature until the target temperature difference is less than the preset difference value. By heating the air conditioner according to the outdoor and indoor temperatures in the normal heating mode, and according to the outdoor, indoor, and indoor air outlet temperatures in the powerful heating mode, the reliability and stability of the air conditioner's heating are ensured. This solves the technical problem of poor heating effect in low-temperature scenarios in existing technologies and achieves effective heating in a wide temperature range.
[0084] As an alternative embodiment, the heating method of the air conditioner includes heat pump heating and / or gas heating.
[0085] Specifically, heat pump heating can achieve heating through the coordinated operation of an evaporator, liquid pipe, condenser, compressor, and gas pipe. Gaseous refrigerant is discharged from the compressor and enters the condenser to release heat. The condensed liquid refrigerant flows into the evaporator to absorb heat. The evaporator is used to absorb heat from the outside, and the condenser is used to release heat indoors. Gas heating can achieve heat release by burning gas through a burner. In both heat pump heating and gas heating, indoor air enters the air inlet of the indoor unit and flows out from the air outlet, thereby achieving temperature exchange.
[0086] This application embodiment sets up two heating sources of varying intensities, which, while ensuring heating performance under multiple temperature conditions, enables the formation of various heating schemes and achieves energy cost savings.
[0087] As an optional embodiment, controlling the air conditioner to heat according to the current outdoor temperature and the current indoor temperature until the target temperature difference is less than a preset difference includes:
[0088] When the current outdoor temperature is greater than the first preset temperature, the intensity of heat pump heating is controlled by adjusting the operating frequency of the compressor according to the target temperature difference until the target temperature difference is less than the preset difference. The operating frequency is directly proportional to the intensity of heat pump heating.
[0089] The first preset temperature and the preset difference can both be set and adjusted by relevant personnel. The range of the first preset temperature can be -10℃≦c≦10℃, and preferably, the range of the first preset temperature can be -2℃≦a≦2℃.
[0090] Specifically, when the current outdoor temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, the compressor's operating frequency is adjusted based on the target temperature difference. When the target temperature difference is large, the compressor operates at a higher frequency; when the target temperature difference is small, the compressor operates at a lower frequency. The correspondence between the target temperature difference and the compressor frequency can be set and adjusted by relevant personnel according to the scenario. For example, when the temperature difference is greater than or equal to 5℃, it can be understood as a large target temperature difference. In this case, the compressor operates at its highest frequency of 80%. If the latest indoor temperature is -2℃ and the target temperature is 10℃, the target temperature difference is 8℃, which is greater than 5℃. In this case, the compressor operates at its highest frequency of 80% to achieve heat pump heating. The control module repeatedly compares the temperature difference with the preset difference until the target temperature difference is less than the preset difference, at which point the heat pump stops heating.
[0091] For example, when the current outdoor temperature detected by the outdoor ambient temperature sensor is greater than the first preset temperature, only the heat pump heating is turned on, and the compressor adjusts its output capacity according to the temperature difference between the user-set target temperature and the indoor ambient temperature.
[0092] When the current outdoor temperature is less than or equal to the first preset temperature and greater than or equal to the second preset temperature, the heat pump heating is activated. When the first indoor temperature is less than the target temperature when the heat pump heating time reaches the first preset time, the gas heating is activated. The heat pump heating is controlled to the maximum intensity by adjusting the operating frequency to the maximum value. The intensity of gas heating is controlled by adjusting the opening degree of the gas valve until the target temperature difference is less than the preset difference value. The opening degree and the intensity of gas heating are directly proportional.
[0093] The third preset temperature can be set and adjusted by relevant personnel, and its range can be -30℃≦c≦-10℃. Preferably, the range of the third preset temperature can be -25℃≦b≦-20℃.
[0094] Specifically, the maximum frequency of the compressor can be set by relevant personnel before the air conditioner leaves the factory, based on the compressor's specifications and model. Alternatively, it can be set or adjusted by relevant personnel during the use of the air conditioner, based on the degree of wear and tear on the compressor.
[0095] For example, when the current outdoor temperature is less than or equal to the first preset temperature and greater than or equal to the second preset temperature, the heat pump's heating capacity is severely reduced. When the heat pump cannot reach the target temperature for a continuous period of time, the heat pump heating and gas heating are turned on simultaneously, the compressor outputs at maximum capacity, and the gas valve adjusts the gas flow rate according to the temperature difference between the user-set target temperature and the indoor ambient temperature.
[0096] When the current outdoor temperature is lower than the second preset temperature, the opening degree of the gas valve is adjusted according to the target temperature difference to control the intensity of gas heating until the target temperature difference is lower than the preset difference.
[0097] Specifically, when the current outdoor temperature is lower than the second preset temperature, the control module adjusts the opening of the gas valve according to the target temperature difference. When the target temperature difference is large, the opening of the gas valve is adjusted to be larger, and when the target temperature difference is small, the opening of the gas valve is reduced. In actual application, the relationship between the target temperature difference and the gas valve opening can be set or adjusted by relevant personnel according to factors such as gas valve specifications, heating effect or gas valve wear and tear.
[0098] For example, if the current outdoor temperature is lower than the second preset temperature, the heat pump will not have a heating effect or will not be able to start. In this case, only gas heating will be turned on, and the gas valve will adjust the gas flow rate according to the temperature difference between the user-set target temperature and the indoor ambient temperature.
[0099] This application embodiment uses a heat pump for heating when the outdoor temperature is high in the conventional heating mode. When the outdoor temperature is moderate, the heat pump is turned on first. If the heat pump heating cannot achieve the desired heating effect, the gas heating is then turned on. When the outdoor temperature is low, the gas heating is used directly. This ensures the heating effect. When gas heating and heat pump heating are performed simultaneously, the compressor is turned on to the maximum to use as little gas as possible, thereby reducing heating energy consumption and saving heating costs.
[0100] As an optional embodiment, controlling the air conditioner to heat according to the current outdoor temperature, current indoor temperature, and current indoor air outlet temperature until the target temperature difference is less than a preset difference includes:
[0101] When the current outdoor temperature is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature, heat pump heating and gas heating are performed simultaneously based on the current outdoor temperature, current indoor temperature and current indoor air outlet temperature until the target temperature difference is less than the preset difference.
[0102] What we can see is that when the current outdoor temperature is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature, the control module controls the heat pump heating and gas heating to start simultaneously, realizing tiered heating and saving energy while achieving heating effect.
[0103] When the current outdoor temperature is lower than the second preset temperature, gas heating is performed based on the current outdoor temperature, current indoor temperature, and current indoor air outlet temperature until the target temperature difference is less than the preset difference.
[0104] What we can see is that when the current outdoor temperature is lower than the second preset temperature, the control module only controls the gas heating to start, ensuring heating efficiency in low-temperature environments.
[0105] This application embodiment combines gas heating and heat pump heating in a powerful heating mode when the outdoor temperature is not too low, and uses only gas heating when the outdoor temperature is low. This saves heating costs while ensuring the efficiency of low-temperature heating.
[0106] As an optional embodiment, heat pump heating and gas heating are simultaneously performed based on the current outdoor temperature, current indoor temperature, and current indoor air outlet temperature until the target temperature difference is less than a preset difference, including:
[0107] When the current indoor temperature is less than the first preset temperature difference, the heat pump heating is started. When the current indoor air outlet temperature is less than the third preset temperature, the heat pump heating is controlled to the maximum intensity by adjusting the operating frequency to the maximum value. When the first indoor air outlet temperature is less than the third preset temperature when the heat pump heating at the maximum intensity reaches the second preset time, the gas heating is turned on.
[0108] Specifically, when the current indoor temperature is lower than the first preset temperature difference, the control module starts the heat pump heating. When the current indoor air outlet temperature is lower than the third preset temperature, the control module controls the compressor to adjust its operating frequency to the maximum value. When the first indoor air outlet temperature is lower than the third preset temperature after the maximum heat pump heating duration reaches the second preset duration, the control module controls the gas heating to be turned on.
[0109] For example, if the current indoor temperature is less than the first preset temperature difference, the heat pump will be turned on first. If the current indoor air outlet temperature is less than the third preset temperature, the compressor will run at high frequency. If the current indoor air outlet temperature is still less than the third preset temperature after the compressor has been running at high frequency for a period of time, the gas heating will be turned on.
[0110] When the current indoor air outlet temperature is greater than or equal to the third preset temperature and less than or equal to the fourth preset temperature, the compressor is kept at the current operating frequency and the gas valve is kept at the current opening degree.
[0111] The third preset temperature can be set and adjusted by relevant personnel, and its range can be 30℃≦c≦40℃. Preferably, the range of the third preset temperature can be 37℃≦c≦40℃.
[0112] Specifically, when the current indoor air outlet temperature is greater than or equal to the third preset temperature and less than or equal to the fourth preset temperature, the control module controls the compressor to maintain the current operating frequency and controls the gas valve to maintain the current opening degree.
[0113] For example, if the current indoor air outlet temperature is greater than or equal to the third preset temperature, the compressor will maintain its current frequency of operation, and the gas system will maintain its current state.
[0114] When the current indoor air outlet temperature is greater than the fourth preset temperature, the gas valve is closed to stop gas heating, and the heat pump heating is controlled to the minimum intensity by adjusting the operating frequency to the minimum value.
[0115] The fourth preset temperature can be set and adjusted by relevant personnel, and its range can be 40℃≦c≦50℃. Preferably, the range of the fourth preset temperature can be 43℃≦d≦50℃.
[0116] Specifically, the compressor's minimum frequency can be set by relevant personnel before the air conditioner leaves the factory, based on the compressor's specifications and model. Alternatively, it can be set or adjusted by relevant personnel during the air conditioner's use, based on the compressor's wear and tear. When the current indoor air outlet temperature exceeds the fourth preset temperature, the control module closes the gas valve and adjusts the compressor's operating frequency to its minimum value.
[0117] For example, when the current indoor air outlet temperature is higher than the fourth preset temperature, the gas system is shut down and the compressor operates at a reduced frequency.
[0118] When the current indoor temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature difference and less than or equal to the second preset temperature difference, the heat pump heating is started; when the current indoor air outlet temperature is less than the third preset temperature, the speed of the indoor fan is reduced.
[0119] Among these features, the speed of the internal fan can be reduced according to a preset ratio, which can be set and adjusted by relevant personnel.
[0120] Specifically, when the current indoor temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature difference and less than or equal to the second preset temperature difference, the control module controls the heat pump to start heating. When the current indoor air outlet temperature is less than the third preset temperature, the control module controls the indoor fan to reduce its speed.
[0121] Optionally, the first preset temperature difference can be set to a temperature value smaller than the target temperature, and the second preset temperature difference can be set to a temperature value larger than the target temperature. When the current indoor temperature is less than the first preset temperature difference, it indicates that the current indoor temperature and the target temperature are still significantly different. When the current indoor temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature difference and less than or equal to the second preset temperature difference, it indicates that the current indoor temperature and the target temperature are not significantly different. When the current indoor temperature is greater than the second preset temperature difference, it indicates that the current indoor temperature is already higher than the target temperature. Preferably, the first preset temperature difference can be set to be less than the target temperature difference minus 2, and the second preset temperature difference can be set to be less than the target temperature difference plus 2.
[0122] It can be seen that the embodiments of this application determine the heating scheme to be adopted by judging the relationship between the current indoor temperature and the target temperature, thereby ensuring heating efficiency while saving energy consumption.
[0123] For example, when the current indoor temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature difference and less than or equal to the second preset temperature difference, the unit is running and the speed of the indoor fan is reduced.
[0124] When the temperature at the second indoor air outlet is lower than the third preset temperature after the third preset time period following the reduction of the rotation speed, the heat pump is controlled to heat to the maximum intensity by adjusting the operating frequency to the maximum value.
[0125] Specifically, if the temperature at the second indoor air outlet is lower than the third preset temperature after the speed is reduced and the operating frequency of the compressor is at its maximum value after a third preset time, the control module will control the compressor to operate at its maximum value.
[0126] For example, when the temperature at the second indoor air outlet is lower than the third preset temperature after the speed is reduced and the time is the third preset duration, the compressor will operate at high frequency.
[0127] When the temperature at the third indoor air outlet is lower than the third preset temperature when the heat pump heating duration reaches the fourth preset duration at maximum intensity, the gas heating will be turned on.
[0128] When the current indoor air outlet temperature is greater than or equal to the third preset temperature and less than or equal to the fourth preset temperature, the compressor is kept at the current operating frequency and the gas valve is kept at the current opening degree.
[0129] Specifically, when the temperature at the third indoor air outlet is lower than the third preset temperature when the maximum heat pump heating duration reaches the fourth preset duration, the control module controls the gas heating to start. When the current indoor air outlet temperature is greater than or equal to the third preset temperature and less than or equal to the fourth preset temperature, the control module controls the compressor to maintain the current operating frequency and controls the gas valve to maintain the current opening degree.
[0130] For example, when the current indoor air outlet temperature is greater than or equal to the third preset temperature and less than or equal to the fourth preset temperature, the heat pump system maintains the current state.
[0131] When the current indoor air outlet temperature is greater than the fourth preset temperature, the gas valve is closed to stop gas heating, and the heat pump is controlled to heat to the minimum intensity by adjusting the operating frequency to the minimum value and increasing the speed.
[0132] Optionally, the speed of the internal fan can be increased according to a preset ratio, which can be set and adjusted by relevant personnel.
[0133] Specifically, when the current indoor air outlet temperature is greater than the fourth preset temperature, the control module controls the gas valve to close, adjusts the operating frequency to the minimum value, and increases the speed of the indoor fan.
[0134] For example, when the current indoor air outlet temperature is higher than the fourth preset temperature, the gas heating is turned off, the compressor frequency is appropriately reduced, and the indoor fan runs at high speed.
[0135] Optionally, if the air conditioning unit is in standby mode, the current state shall be maintained.
[0136] When the current indoor temperature is greater than the second preset temperature difference, the air conditioner will be shut down.
[0137] This application's embodiments employ a multi-layered approach to heating scenarios where the outdoor temperature is not too low, but the indoor temperature differs significantly from the target temperature. First, a heat pump is used for heating. If the outlet temperature does not reach the preset value, the compressor runs at a higher frequency. If the outlet temperature still cannot reach its maximum value, gas heating is activated. Once the outlet temperature reaches the preset range, the current heating state of both heat pump and gas heating is maintained. Once the outlet temperature exceeds the preset value, gas heating is shut off, saving costs while ensuring stable outlet temperature. Alternatively, when the indoor temperature is close to the target temperature, heat pump heating is used. If the outlet temperature is below the preset value, the indoor fan slows down. If the outlet temperature still does not reach the preset value after a period of time, the compressor frequency is increased. If the outlet temperature still does not reach the preset value, gas heating is activated. This multi-layered approach to increasing heating intensity ensures stable outlet temperature. Finally, when the indoor temperature exceeds the target temperature, the air conditioner is shut off to quickly lower the indoor temperature to the target temperature.
[0138] As an optional embodiment, gas heating is performed based on the current outdoor temperature, current indoor temperature, and current indoor air outlet temperature until the target temperature difference is less than a preset difference, including:
[0139] When the current indoor temperature is less than the first preset temperature difference, gas heating is started. When the current indoor air outlet temperature is less than the third preset temperature, the gas heating is controlled to the maximum intensity by adjusting the opening of the gas valve to the maximum opening.
[0140] Specifically, when the current indoor temperature is less than the first preset temperature difference, the control module controls the gas heating to start. When the current indoor air outlet temperature is less than the third preset temperature, the control module controls the gas valve to open to the maximum degree and controls the gas heating to the maximum intensity.
[0141] For example, if the current indoor temperature is less than the first preset temperature difference, the gas valve will open to its maximum extent.
[0142] When the current indoor air outlet temperature is greater than or equal to the third preset temperature and less than or equal to the fourth preset temperature, the gas valve remains at its current opening.
[0143] Specifically, when the current indoor air outlet temperature is greater than or equal to the third preset temperature and less than or equal to the fourth preset temperature, the gas valve is controlled to maintain its current opening degree.
[0144] For example, when the current indoor air outlet temperature is greater than or equal to the third preset temperature and less than or equal to the fourth preset temperature, the gas system maintains its current state.
[0145] When the current indoor air outlet temperature is greater than the fourth preset temperature, the gas heating intensity is controlled to the minimum by adjusting the opening of the gas valve to the minimum opening.
[0146] Specifically, when the current indoor air outlet temperature is greater than the fourth preset temperature, the control module controls the gas valve to adjust its opening to the minimum.
[0147] For example, when the current indoor air outlet temperature is greater than the fourth preset temperature, the gas valve will operate at its minimum opening.
[0148] When the current indoor temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature difference and less than or equal to the second preset temperature difference, gas heating is started. When the current indoor air outlet temperature is less than the third preset temperature, the speed is reduced. After the speed is reduced, when the third indoor air outlet temperature is less than the first preset temperature difference after a fourth preset time, the gas heating is controlled to the maximum intensity by adjusting the opening of the gas valve to the maximum opening.
[0149] Specifically, when the current indoor temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature difference and less than or equal to the second preset temperature difference, the control module controls the gas heating to start. When the current indoor air outlet temperature is less than the third preset temperature, the control module controls the compressor speed to be reduced. After the speed is reduced, when the third indoor air outlet temperature is less than the first preset temperature difference after a fourth preset time, the control module controls the gas valve opening to be adjusted to the maximum opening.
[0150] For example, when the gas system is running, if the current indoor temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature difference and less than or equal to the second preset temperature difference, the indoor fan speed will decrease. If the indoor air outlet temperature is less than the first preset temperature difference after the fan speed is reduced to the low setting, the gas valve opening will increase.
[0151] When the current indoor air outlet temperature is greater than or equal to the third preset temperature and less than or equal to the fourth preset temperature, the gas valve remains at its current opening.
[0152] Specifically, when the current indoor air outlet temperature is greater than or equal to the third preset temperature and less than or equal to the fourth preset temperature, the control module controls the gas valve to maintain its current opening degree.
[0153] For example, when the current indoor air outlet temperature is greater than or equal to the third preset temperature and less than or equal to the fourth preset temperature, the unit maintains the current state.
[0154] Increase the fan speed when the current indoor air outlet temperature is higher than the fourth preset temperature;
[0155] Specifically, when the current indoor air outlet temperature is higher than the fourth preset temperature, the control module controls the fan to increase its speed.
[0156] For example, when the current indoor air outlet temperature is greater than the fourth preset temperature, the gas valve opening decreases and the indoor fan operates at high speed.
[0157] When the current indoor temperature is greater than the second preset temperature difference, the air conditioner will be shut down.
[0158] Specifically, the control module shuts down the air conditioner when the current indoor temperature is greater than the second preset temperature difference.
[0159] For example, if the current indoor temperature is greater than the second preset temperature difference, the system will stop at the specified temperature point.
[0160] This application embodiment can switch between different heat sources for heating based on outdoor ambient temperature and indoor heat load demand, solving the technical problem of poor low-temperature heating effect of conventional air source heat pumps. Compared with traditional boiler heating, it is low-carbon and environmentally friendly, which is conducive to energy conservation and emission reduction. Compared with conventional air source heat pumps, it has a better low-temperature heating effect, which can ensure room thermal comfort and meet the winter heating needs of cold northern regions. When heat pump heating and gas heating are running simultaneously, this application embodiment can increase the inlet air temperature of the flue gas heat exchanger, thereby increasing the outlet air temperature after flue gas heat exchange.
[0161] Based on the same concept, this application also provides an optional embodiment. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a dual-heat-source air conditioning system provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the dual-heat-source air conditioning system includes: a control module 201, a temperature measurement module 202, a conventional heating module 203, and a powerful heating module 204;
[0162] Control module 201 receives control commands for controlling the air conditioner's operating mode;
[0163] The control module 201 responds to the control command and controls the air conditioner to operate in the operating mode indicated by the control command, wherein the operating mode includes a normal heating mode or a strong heating mode.
[0164] Control module 201 receives a temperature adjustment command including a target temperature, wherein the target temperature is the temperature to be adjusted;
[0165] The temperature measurement module 202 detects the current outdoor temperature and the current indoor temperature, and sends the current outdoor temperature and the current indoor temperature to the control module;
[0166] Control module 201 acquires the current outdoor temperature and the current indoor temperature;
[0167] When the operating mode is normal heating mode, the control module 201 controls the normal heating module 203 in the air conditioner to heat according to the current outdoor temperature and the current indoor temperature until the target temperature difference is less than the preset difference value, wherein the target temperature difference is the difference between the latest indoor temperature and the target temperature.
[0168] When the operating mode is strong heating mode, the control module 201 controls the strong heating module 204 in the air conditioner to heat the air until the target temperature difference is less than the preset difference, based on the current outdoor temperature, the current indoor temperature and the current indoor air outlet temperature.
[0169] Furthermore, the conventional heating mode includes an evaporator, while the powerful heating mode includes a flue gas heat exchanger.
[0170] The first setting position of the flue gas heat exchanger and the second setting position of the evaporator are interchangeable.
[0171] Based on the above embodiments, this application also provides a preferred embodiment, such as... Figure 3 As shown: Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a preferred dual-heat-source air conditioning system provided in an embodiment of this application.
[0172] The dual-heat-source heat pump air conditioning system in this embodiment can consist of an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The outdoor unit includes a compressor, condenser, electronic expansion valve, four-way valve, outdoor fan, ambient temperature sensor, and piping. The indoor unit consists of a refrigerant system, a gas system, a flue gas system, an air duct system, and a control system. The heat pump heating module includes at least an evaporator, liquid pipe, condenser, compressor, and gas pipe. The refrigerant system includes an evaporator, refrigerant liquid pipe, and gas pipe; the gas system (i.e., the gas heating module) includes a gas valve, burner, and gas pipe; the flue gas system includes a flue gas heat exchanger, exhaust fan, and exhaust pipe; the air duct system includes an indoor fan and air duct; and the control system includes a controller, an inlet temperature sensor, and an outlet temperature sensor. The system has both cooling and heating functions. When operating in cooling mode, high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is discharged from the compressor, flows through the four-way valve, and enters the condenser to release heat. The condensed liquid refrigerant is throttled by the electronic expansion valve and enters the evaporator to absorb heat, becoming a low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant that flows back to the compressor. When a heat pump is operating, high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is discharged from the compressor, flows through a four-way valve, and enters the indoor unit's evaporator to release heat. The condensed liquid refrigerant, after being throttled by an electronic expansion valve, enters the condenser to absorb heat, becoming a low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant that flows back to the compressor. When a gas pump is operating, gas first flows from the gas pipe through the gas valve, then enters the burner for ignition and combustion. The high-temperature flue gas produced by combustion enters the flue gas heat exchanger to exchange heat with the indoor air. The flue gas after heat exchange is then extracted by the exhaust fan and discharged outdoors through the exhaust pipe. The gas valve has the function of opening and closing and regulating the gas flow. The flue gas heat exchanger can be a finned tube heat exchanger, where high-temperature flue gas flows inside the tubes and air flows outside. After absorbing heat from the high-temperature flue gas, the air becomes hot air and enters the room. A larger gas flow rate results in more heat generated by combustion, and for the same airflow, more heat is absorbed by the air, resulting in a higher outlet air temperature; a smaller gas flow rate results in less heat generated by combustion, resulting in a lower outlet air temperature. When the indoor unit is running, the indoor fan turns on. Indoor air first exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the evaporator, then with the flue gas before entering the room. The system can be set to two modes: normal heating and powerful heating. In normal heating mode, the system controls the temperature according to the user-set target temperature, prioritizing heat pump heating. If heat pump heating fails to reach the target temperature for a continuous period, gas heating is activated. In powerful heating mode, the system controls the temperature according to the user-set target temperature and outlet air temperature. While reaching the target temperature, it ensures that the outlet air temperature remains within the preset threshold temperature by adjusting compressor output, fan speed, and gas flow.In this embodiment, the positions of the evaporator and flue gas heat exchanger can be interchanged. When the indoor unit is running, the indoor fan is turned on, and the indoor air first exchanges heat with the flue gas through the flue gas heat exchanger, and then exchanges heat with the refrigerant through the evaporator before entering the room. In conventional heat pumps, the evaporator temperature is low during low-temperature cooling, and frost will form on the evaporator. The compressor suction superheat is also low, which can lead to liquid return problems. The interchanged air conditioning system can activate the gas heating function at appropriate times during low-temperature cooling, which can improve the evaporation temperature and the compressor suction superheat, reduce evaporator frost, and improve reliability. However, when the heat pump and gas heating are running simultaneously, the evaporator inlet air temperature may be too high, which may trigger high-pressure protection. Therefore, it is necessary to control the outlet air temperature of the gas heating function.
