Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of air conditioning technology, such as a control method, apparatus, and air conditioning system for an air conditioning system, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, air conditioners have become an indispensable household appliance in daily life. In daily use, air conditioners can meet users' comfort needs by adjusting the temperature according to the user's settings. However, under certain extreme environmental conditions, the heat exchanger's heat exchange capacity is prone to decrease, resulting in insufficient heat exchange and thus affecting the air conditioner's performance. To address this, enthalpy-increasing gas injection technology can be used to improve system energy efficiency and air conditioning capacity. Among these technologies, a multi-split air conditioning system is proposed, including: a compressor, an evaporator, a condenser, and a subcooler. The return flow end of the subcooler returns to the compressor through a return pipe. Between the return pipe and the compressor, a parallel subcooling pipe and an enthalpy-increasing pipe are connected. The subcooling pipe merges with the evaporator exhaust pipe and then connects to the low-pressure suction end of the compressor. The enthalpy-increasing pipe is connected to the intermediate-pressure suction end of the compressor. The system also includes a switching device for controlling the opening or closing of the subcooling pipe and / or the enthalpy-increasing pipe.

[0003] In the process of implementing the embodiments of this disclosure, at least the following problems were found in the related art:

[0004] The relevant technology utilizes the switching control between subcooling mode and enthalpy-increasing mode to better optimize the capacity and energy efficiency of multi-unit refrigeration and heating processes. In subcooling mode, both the subcooling valve and the enthalpy-increasing valve are open; while in enthalpy-increasing mode, the subcooling valve is closed and the enthalpy-increasing valve is open. However, during the switch from subcooling mode to enthalpy-increasing mode, suddenly closing the subcooling valve can cause all the auxiliary refrigerant to flow into the compressor's enthalpy-increasing line, resulting in a sudden increase in compressor power and potentially causing overload damage to the compressor in a short period. Therefore, this technology carries the risk of drastic load changes, leading to poor compressor reliability.

[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed embodiments, a brief summary is given below. This summary is not intended as a general commentary, nor is it intended to identify key / important components or describe the scope of protection of these embodiments, but rather as a prelude to the detailed description that follows.

[0007] This disclosure provides a control method, device, air conditioning system, and computer-readable storage medium for an air conditioning system. It can reserve the load to be borne in advance, avoid compressor overload damage or even shutdown, and help ensure reliable compressor operation.

[0008] In some embodiments, the air conditioning system includes: a compressor; a four-way valve; an indoor heat exchanger; an outdoor heat exchanger; a gas-liquid separator disposed in the suction pipe; an intermediate heat exchanger having a main heat exchange path and an auxiliary heat exchange path, the inlet section of the auxiliary heat exchange path having a throttling device, and the outlet section of the auxiliary heat exchange path splitting into an enthalpy-increasing pipe and a subcooling pipe, the enthalpy-increasing pipe being connected to the enthalpy-increasing port of the compressor, and having an enthalpy-increasing control valve on the enthalpy-increasing pipe; the subcooling pipe being connected to the gas-liquid separator, and having a subcooling control valve on the subcooling pipe; the method includes: obtaining the real-time discharge temperature of the compressor when the enthalpy-increasing pipe is open; opening the subcooling control valve to open the subcooling pipe when the real-time discharge temperature is greater than a first discharge temperature; adjusting the operating frequency of the compressor when the real-time discharge temperature is less than a second discharge temperature; and closing the subcooling control valve to disconnect the subcooling pipe; wherein the second discharge temperature is less than or equal to the first discharge temperature.

[0009] In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a processor and a memory storing program instructions, the processor being configured to execute the control method for an air conditioning system described above when the program instructions are executed.

[0010] In some embodiments, the air conditioning system includes: a compressor, including an exhaust port, an intake port, and an enthalpy-increasing port; a four-way valve, connected to the compressor's exhaust port to form an exhaust pipe and connected to the compressor's intake port to form an intake pipe; an indoor heat exchanger, connected to the four-way valve; an outdoor heat exchanger, connected to the four-way valve; a gas-liquid separator, disposed in the intake pipe; and an intermediate heat exchanger, having a main heat exchange path and an auxiliary heat exchange path, the inlet section of the main heat exchange path connected to the outdoor heat exchanger, and the outlet section of the main heat exchange path connected to the indoor heat exchanger. The internal heat exchanger is connected, and the inlet section of the auxiliary heat exchange circuit is connected to the inlet section of the main heat exchange circuit. The inlet section of the auxiliary heat exchange circuit is equipped with a throttling device. The outlet section of the auxiliary heat exchange circuit is divided into an enthalpy-increasing pipeline and a subcooling pipeline. The enthalpy-increasing pipeline is connected to the enthalpy-increasing port of the compressor and is equipped with an enthalpy-increasing control valve. The subcooling pipeline is connected to the gas-liquid separator and is equipped with a subcooling control valve. The aforementioned control device for the air conditioning system is electrically connected to the compressor, the throttling device, the enthalpy-increasing control valve, and the subcooling control valve.

[0011] In some embodiments, the computer-readable storage medium stores program instructions that, when executed, cause the computer to perform the control method for the air conditioning system described above.

[0012] The control method, apparatus, air conditioning system, and computer-readable storage medium for air conditioning systems provided in this disclosure can achieve the following technical effects:

[0013] In this embodiment, the enthalpy-increasing pipeline is activated to improve system energy efficiency and ensure the air conditioning's cooling and heating capacity under extreme environments. As the enthalpy-increasing pipeline operates, this embodiment continuously acquires the real-time discharge temperature of the compressor to monitor its normal operation. When the real-time discharge temperature exceeds a first discharge temperature, the discharge temperature overheat protection is triggered. This embodiment opens the subcooling control valve to allow the subcooling pipeline to introduce lower-temperature refrigerant into the gas-liquid separator for cooling, thereby reducing the compressor's suction temperature and achieving the protection purpose of reducing discharge temperature. When the real-time discharge temperature continues to decrease until it falls below a second discharge temperature, the discharge temperature overheat protection is deactivated. However, the subcooling control valve is not immediately closed; instead, the compressor's operating frequency is adaptively adjusted to pre-reduce the compressor's power under high load conditions before the subcooling control valve closes. This allows for advance preparation of the load to be borne, preventing compressor overload damage or even shutdown, and ensuring reliable compressor operation.

[0031] Currently, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, air conditioners have become an indispensable household appliance in daily life. In daily use, air conditioners can meet users' comfort needs by adjusting the temperature according to the user's settings. However, under certain extreme environmental conditions, the heat exchanger's heat exchange capacity is prone to decrease, resulting in insufficient heat exchange and thus affecting the air conditioner's performance. To address this, enthalpy-increasing gas injection technology can be used to improve system energy efficiency and air conditioning capacity. Among these technologies, a multi-split air conditioning system is proposed, including: a compressor, an evaporator, a condenser, and a subcooler. The return flow end of the subcooler returns to the compressor through a return pipe. Between the return pipe and the compressor, a parallel subcooling pipe and an enthalpy-increasing pipe are connected. The subcooling pipe merges with the evaporator exhaust pipe and then connects to the low-pressure suction end of the compressor. The enthalpy-increasing pipe is connected to the intermediate-pressure suction end of the compressor. The system also includes a switching device for controlling the opening or closing of the subcooling pipe and / or the enthalpy-increasing pipe.

[0032] The relevant technology utilizes the switching control between subcooling mode and enthalpy-increasing mode to better optimize the capacity and energy efficiency of multi-unit refrigeration and heating processes. In subcooling mode, both the subcooling valve and the enthalpy-increasing valve are open; while in enthalpy-increasing mode, the subcooling valve is closed and the enthalpy-increasing valve is open. However, during the switch from subcooling mode to enthalpy-increasing mode, suddenly closing the subcooling valve can cause all the auxiliary refrigerant to flow into the compressor's enthalpy-increasing line, resulting in a sudden increase in compressor power and potentially causing overload damage to the compressor in a short period. Therefore, this technology carries the risk of drastic load changes, leading to poor compressor reliability.

[0033] Combination Figure 1As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air conditioning system, including: a compressor 10, a four-way valve 20, an indoor heat exchanger 30, an outdoor heat exchanger 40, a gas-liquid separator 50, and an intermediate heat exchanger 60. The compressor 10 includes an exhaust port, an intake port, and an enthalpy-increasing port. The four-way valve 20 is connected to the exhaust port of the compressor 10 to form an exhaust pipe 110, and is connected to the intake port of the compressor 10 to form an intake pipe 120. The indoor heat exchanger 30 is connected to the four-way valve 20. The outdoor heat exchanger 40 is connected to the four-way valve 20. The gas-liquid separator 50 is disposed in the intake pipe 120. The intermediate heat exchanger 60 has a main heat exchange path and an auxiliary heat exchange path. The inlet section 210 of the main heat exchange path is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger 40, and the outlet section 220 of the main heat exchange path is connected to the indoor heat exchanger 30. The inlet section 310 of the auxiliary heat exchange circuit is connected to the inlet section 210 of the main heat exchange circuit, and the inlet section 310 of the auxiliary heat exchange circuit is equipped with a throttling device 70. The outlet section 320 of the auxiliary heat exchange circuit is divided into an enthalpy-increasing pipeline 321 and a subcooling pipeline 322. The enthalpy-increasing pipeline 321 is connected to the enthalpy-increasing port of the compressor 10, and an enthalpy-increasing control valve 81 is installed on the enthalpy-increasing pipeline 321. The subcooling pipeline 322 is connected to the gas-liquid separator 50, and a subcooling control valve 82 is installed on the subcooling pipeline 322.

[0034] The air conditioning system provided in this embodiment can improve system energy efficiency and ensure the air conditioning cooling and heating capacity under extreme environments by opening the enthalpy-increasing control valve 81 to conduct the enthalpy-increasing pipeline 321. Furthermore, by opening the subcooling control valve 82 to conduct the subcooling pipeline 322, lower-temperature refrigerant can be introduced into the gas-liquid separator for cooling, thereby reducing the suction temperature of the compressor 10 and achieving the protective purpose of reducing the discharge temperature, which is beneficial to the reliable operation of the compressor 10.

[0035] Optionally, the intermediate heat exchanger 60 is a plate heat exchanger. In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can realize the heat exchange of refrigerant between the main heat exchange circuit and the auxiliary heat exchange circuit, thereby increasing the subcooling of the system, improving the enthalpy increase capacity, which is conducive to improving the system energy efficiency and ensuring the air conditioning capacity.

[0036] Optionally, the throttling device 70 is an electronic expansion valve. In this way, by controlling the opening of the electronic expansion valve, the refrigerant flow on the enthalpy-increasing pipe 321 and the subcooling pipe 322 can be reasonably adjusted, which is beneficial to improving system energy efficiency, ensuring air conditioning capacity, and enabling the compressor 10 to operate reliably.

[0037] Optionally, the enthalpy-increasing control valve 81 and the subcooling control valve 82 are solenoid valves. In this way, by controlling the opening and closing state of the above-mentioned solenoid valves, the embodiments of this disclosure can control the corresponding enthalpy-increasing pipeline 321 and subcooling pipeline 322 to be connected or disconnected, thereby improving system energy efficiency, ensuring air conditioning capacity, and enabling the compressor 10 to operate reliably.

[0038] Optionally, the air conditioning system further includes a first shut-off valve 91 and a second shut-off valve 92. The first shut-off valve 91 is located at the outlet section 220 of the main heat exchange circuit. The second shut-off valve 92 is located in the pipeline between the indoor heat exchanger 30 and the four-way valve 20. In this way, the embodiments of this disclosure can regulate the refrigerant flow rate in the main circuit to maintain the superheat of the system, which is beneficial to the stable operation of the system.

[0039] Optionally, the air conditioning system further includes a first temperature sensor 101 and a second temperature sensor 102. The first temperature sensor 101 is located on the pipeline between the intermediate heat exchanger 60 and the throttling device 70, and is used to detect the refrigerant inlet temperature of the intermediate heat exchanger 60 on the auxiliary heat exchange path. The second temperature sensor 102 is located on the outlet section 320 of the auxiliary heat exchange path, and is used to detect the refrigerant outlet temperature of the intermediate heat exchanger 60 on the auxiliary heat exchange path. In this way, the embodiments of this disclosure can detect the refrigerant temperature of the auxiliary paths before and after the intermediate heat exchanger 60, thereby obtaining the auxiliary heat exchange temperature difference of the intermediate heat exchanger 60, which is beneficial for the reasonable control of the refrigerant state on the auxiliary heat exchange path.

[0040] Optionally, the air conditioning system also includes a control device 600 for the air conditioning system. The control device 600 is electrically connected to the compressor 10, the throttling device 70, the enthalpy-increasing control valve 81, and the subcooling control valve 82. Thus, embodiments of this disclosure can execute corresponding control methods through this device to avoid overload damage or even shutdown of the compressor 10, thereby ensuring reliable operation of the compressor 10.

[0041] Based on the above air conditioning system, combined with Figure 2 As shown, this disclosure provides a control method for an air conditioning system, including:

[0042] S201, with the enthalpy-increasing pipeline open, the processor obtains the real-time exhaust temperature of the compressor.

[0043] S202, when the real-time exhaust temperature is higher than the first exhaust temperature, the processor opens the subcooling control valve to guide the subcooling pipeline.

[0044] S203: When the real-time exhaust temperature is lower than the second exhaust temperature, the processor adjusts the compressor's operating frequency.

[0045] S204, the processor closes the subcooling control valve to disconnect the subcooling line.

[0046] The second exhaust temperature is less than or equal to the first exhaust temperature.

[0047] The control method for air conditioning systems provided in this disclosure improves system energy efficiency and ensures air conditioning cooling and heating capacity under extreme environments by activating the enthalpy-increasing pipeline. As the enthalpy-increasing pipeline operates, this disclosure continuously acquires the real-time discharge temperature of the compressor to monitor its normal operation. When the real-time discharge temperature exceeds a first discharge temperature, over-discharge temperature protection is triggered. This disclosure opens the subcooling control valve to allow the introduction of a lower-temperature refrigerant into the gas-liquid separator for cooling, thereby reducing the compressor's suction temperature and achieving the protection purpose of reducing discharge temperature. When the real-time discharge temperature continues to decrease until it falls below a second discharge temperature, the over-discharge temperature protection is deactivated. However, the subcooling control valve is not immediately closed; instead, the compressor's operating frequency is adaptively adjusted to pre-reduce the compressor's power under high load conditions before the subcooling control valve closes. This allows for advance preparation of the load to be borne, preventing compressor overload damage or even shutdown, and ensuring reliable compressor operation.

[0048] Optionally, the first exhaust temperature can be set according to the compressor configuration information. Preferably, the first exhaust temperature can be set to 100°C to determine whether the exhaust temperature overheat protection is triggered. The first exhaust temperature can also be adjusted according to the user's actual needs, and can be set to any other reasonable value such as 98°C or 96°C.

[0049] Optionally, the second exhaust temperature can be set according to the compressor configuration information. Preferably, the second exhaust temperature can be set to 95°C to determine whether to deactivate the exhaust temperature overheat protection. The second exhaust temperature can also be adjusted according to the user's actual needs, and can be set to any other reasonable value such as 94°C or 93°C.

[0050] Optionally, the processor adjusts the compressor's operating frequency by adjusting the compressor's operating frequency based on the compressor's real-time current. In this way, the embodiments of this disclosure can detect the compressor's real-time current to determine whether the compressor is currently or about to be in an overload state before the subcooling control valve closes. Based on this, the embodiments of this disclosure determine whether it is necessary to adjust the compressor's operating frequency accordingly to reasonably reduce the compressor's power under high load conditions. This can prevent compressor overload damage or even shutdown, thus helping to ensure reliable compressor operation.

[0051] Optionally, the processor adjusts the compressor's operating frequency based on the compressor's real-time current, including: reducing the compressor's operating frequency when the ratio of the compressor's real-time current to the frequency-limiting current is greater than a preset ratio; or maintaining the compressor's operating frequency when the ratio is less than or equal to the preset ratio. Thus, when the ratio of the compressor's real-time current to the frequency-limiting current is greater than the preset ratio, it indicates that the compressor is currently under high load. At this time, closing the subcooling control valve increases the likelihood of overload damage and compressor shutdown. Therefore, this embodiment appropriately reduces the compressor's operating frequency to pre-reduce the compressor's power under high load before the subcooling control valve closes. This allows for advance preparation of the load to be borne, preventing compressor overload damage or even shutdown, and ensuring reliable compressor operation. Conversely, when the ratio of the compressor's real-time current to the frequency-limiting current is less than or equal to the preset ratio, it indicates that the compressor is not currently under high load. Even if the subcooling control valve is closed at this time, the compressor is less likely to experience overload damage or shutdown. Therefore, the embodiments disclosed herein maintain the operating frequency of the compressor to ensure the cooling and heating capacity of the air conditioner.

[0052] Optionally, the preset ratio can be set according to the operating mode of the air conditioning system. Preferably, the preset ratio can be set to 90% to determine the actual load state of the compressor before the subcooling control valve closes. The preset ratio can also be adjusted according to the user's actual needs, or set to any other reasonable value such as 80% or 95%.

[0053] Optionally, the processor reduces the compressor's operating frequency by: determining a target frequency reduction value based on the first opening degree of the throttling device before the subcooling control valve opens and the second opening degree of the throttling device after the subcooling control valve opens; and reducing the compressor's operating frequency according to the target frequency reduction value. In this way, the embodiments of this disclosure can analyze the change in the opening degree of the throttling device before and after the subcooling pipeline is opened by combining the first and second opening degrees, thereby determining the change in compressor operating load corresponding to the opening and closing of the subcooling pipeline. Then, the embodiments of this disclosure can predict the margin for subsequent load surges, and thus determine a suitable target frequency reduction value for the compressor's operating frequency, thereby more reasonably reducing the compressor's power under high load conditions and helping to ensure reliable compressor operation.

[0054] Optionally, the processor determines the target frequency reduction value based on the first opening degree of the throttling device before the subcooling control valve opens and the second opening degree of the throttling device after the subcooling control valve opens. This includes: the processor calculating the ratio of the second opening degree of the throttling device after the subcooling control valve opens to the first opening degree of the throttling device before the subcooling control valve opens; and the processor calculating the product of the opening ratio and the frequency compensation coefficient to obtain the target frequency reduction value. Thus, when the subcooling control valve opens, to achieve the protective purpose of reducing the exhaust temperature, the throttling device needs to adaptively increase its opening degree to reduce the refrigerant temperature at the outlet section of the heat exchange auxiliary circuit. Then, this embodiment of the present disclosure can determine the accurate target frequency reduction value based on the opening ratio of the throttling device and the frequency compensation coefficient. The larger the opening ratio of the second opening degree to the first opening degree, the greater the change in the opening degree of the throttling device after passing through the subcooling pipeline, and the more likely the compressor is to enter a full-load state. In this case, when the subcooling control valve is closed, the risk of compressor overload damage caused by sudden load changes is greater. Therefore, the present invention can set a larger target frequency reduction value to make the compressor operate at a lower frequency when the subcooling control valve is closed, thereby further reducing the compressor's power under high load conditions. Thus, by reserving an appropriate amount of load to be borne in advance, the present invention can avoid compressor overload damage or even shutdown, which is beneficial to ensuring reliable compressor operation.

[0055] Optionally, the frequency compensation coefficient can be determined empirically or obtained through experimental testing. Preferably, the frequency compensation coefficient can be set to 0.6. The frequency compensation coefficient can also be adjusted according to the user's actual needs, and can be set to any other reasonable value such as 0.5 or 0.8.

[0056] Based on the above air conditioning system, combined with Figure 3 As shown, this disclosure provides another control method for an air conditioning system, including:

[0057] S301, with the enthalpy-increasing pipeline open, the processor obtains the real-time discharge temperature of the compressor.

[0058] S302: When the real-time exhaust temperature is higher than the first exhaust temperature, the processor opens the supercooling control valve to guide the supercooling pipeline.

[0059] S303, the processor adjusts the opening of the throttling device to make the auxiliary heat exchange temperature difference of the intermediate heat exchanger approach the target heat exchange temperature difference.

[0060] S304: When the real-time exhaust temperature is lower than the second exhaust temperature, the processor adjusts the compressor's operating frequency.

[0061] S305, the processor closes the subcooling control valve to disconnect the subcooling line.

[0062] The second exhaust temperature is less than or equal to the first exhaust temperature.

[0063] The control method for an air conditioning system provided in this disclosure improves system energy efficiency and ensures air conditioning cooling and heating capacity under extreme environments by activating the enthalpy-increasing pipeline. As the enthalpy-increasing pipeline operates, this disclosure continuously acquires the real-time discharge temperature of the compressor to monitor its normal operation. When the real-time discharge temperature exceeds a first discharge temperature, high discharge temperature protection is triggered. This disclosure opens the subcooling control valve to allow the subcooling pipeline to introduce lower-temperature refrigerant into the gas-liquid separator for cooling, thereby reducing the compressor's suction temperature and achieving the protection purpose of reducing discharge temperature. Simultaneously, this disclosure adjusts the opening of the throttling device to bring the auxiliary heat exchange temperature difference of the intermediate heat exchanger closer to the target heat exchange temperature difference. This provides more lower-temperature refrigerant to the subcooling pipeline, facilitating a faster reduction in the compressor's discharge temperature. When the real-time discharge temperature continues to decrease until it falls below a second discharge temperature, the high discharge temperature protection is deactivated. However, the subcooling control valve is not immediately closed; instead, the compressor's operating frequency is adaptively adjusted to pre-reduce the compressor's power under high load conditions before the subcooling control valve closes. This allows for the provision of loads to be borne in advance, preventing compressor overload damage or even shutdown, and ensuring reliable compressor operation.

[0064] Optionally, the processor obtains the auxiliary heat exchange temperature difference of the intermediate heat exchanger in the following manner: the processor controls a first temperature sensor to detect and obtain the refrigerant inlet temperature of the intermediate heat exchanger on the auxiliary heat exchange path, and controls a second temperature sensor to detect and obtain the refrigerant outlet temperature of the intermediate heat exchanger on the auxiliary heat exchange path; the processor calculates the difference between the refrigerant outlet temperature and the refrigerant inlet temperature to obtain the auxiliary heat exchange temperature difference of the intermediate heat exchanger. Thus, by calculating the difference between the refrigerant outlet temperature and the refrigerant inlet temperature on the auxiliary heat exchange path of the intermediate heat exchanger, this embodiment of the present disclosure can determine the temperature change of the refrigerant after heat exchange in the auxiliary path through the intermediate heat exchanger, i.e., obtain the auxiliary heat exchange temperature difference of the intermediate heat exchanger. It can also adjust the opening of the throttling device accordingly to reasonably control the refrigerant state on the auxiliary heat exchange path.

[0065] Optionally, the processor adjusts the opening of the throttling device to bring the auxiliary heat exchange temperature difference of the intermediate heat exchanger closer to the target heat exchange temperature difference. This includes: increasing the opening of the throttling device when the auxiliary heat exchange temperature difference of the intermediate heat exchanger is greater than the target heat exchange temperature difference; or decreasing the opening of the throttling device when the auxiliary heat exchange temperature difference of the intermediate heat exchanger is less than the target heat exchange temperature difference. Thus, this embodiment of the present disclosure can optimize the opening of the throttling device based on the relationship between the auxiliary heat exchange temperature difference of the intermediate heat exchanger and the target heat exchange temperature difference, thereby allowing the auxiliary heat exchange temperature difference of the intermediate heat exchanger to gradually approach the target heat exchange temperature difference, so that the auxiliary refrigerant enters a suitable state, which is beneficial for rapidly reducing the compressor's discharge temperature.

[0066] Optionally, the target heat exchange temperature difference can be set according to the compressor's exhaust temperature. The higher the compressor's exhaust temperature, the smaller the target heat exchange temperature difference can be set. Preferably, the target heat exchange temperature difference can be set to -2℃. At this temperature, the refrigerant in the auxiliary circuit of the intermediate heat exchanger does not exchange heat completely, forming a low-temperature gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant. Furthermore, the refrigerant continues to absorb heat as it passes through the outlet section of the auxiliary heat exchange circuit, further reducing the refrigerant outlet temperature. Subsequently, more low-temperature gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant enters the gas-liquid separator for cooling, rapidly reducing the exhaust temperature. The target heat exchange temperature difference can also be adjusted according to the user's actual needs and can be set to any other reasonable value such as -1.5℃ or -2.5℃.

[0067] Optionally, the processor can use a PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) algorithm to increase or decrease the opening of the throttling device. The corresponding PID adjustment value can be a fixed number of steps or a fixed proportion. In this way, the embodiments of this disclosure can achieve precise adjustment of the auxiliary heat exchange temperature difference, so that it can gradually stabilize near the target heat exchange temperature difference.

[0068] Based on the above air conditioning system, combined with Figure 4 As shown, this disclosure provides another control method for an air conditioning system, including:

[0069] S401, with the enthalpy-increasing pipeline open, the processor obtains the real-time discharge temperature of the compressor.

[0070] S402: When the real-time exhaust temperature is higher than the first exhaust temperature, the processor opens the subcooling control valve to guide the cooling pipeline.

[0071] S403: When the real-time exhaust temperature is lower than the second exhaust temperature, the processor adjusts the compressor's operating frequency.

[0072] S404, the processor closes the subcooling control valve to disconnect the subcooling line.

[0073] S405: When the real-time exhaust temperature is lower than the third exhaust temperature, the processor closes the enthalpy increase control valve to disconnect the enthalpy increase pipeline.

[0074] Among them, the second exhaust temperature is less than or equal to the first exhaust temperature, and the third exhaust temperature is less than the second exhaust temperature.

[0075] The control method for air conditioning systems provided in this disclosure improves system energy efficiency and ensures air conditioning cooling and heating capacity under extreme environments by activating the enthalpy-increasing pipeline. As the enthalpy-increasing pipeline operates, this disclosure continuously acquires the real-time discharge temperature of the compressor to monitor its normal operation. When the real-time discharge temperature exceeds a first discharge temperature, over-discharge temperature protection is triggered. This disclosure opens the subcooling control valve to allow the introduction of a lower-temperature refrigerant into the gas-liquid separator for cooling, thereby reducing the compressor's suction temperature and achieving the protection purpose of reducing discharge temperature. When the real-time discharge temperature continues to decrease until it falls below a second discharge temperature, the over-discharge temperature protection is deactivated. However, the subcooling control valve is not immediately closed; instead, the compressor's operating frequency is adaptively adjusted to pre-reduce the compressor's power under high load conditions before the subcooling control valve closes. This allows for advance preparation of the load to be borne, preventing compressor overload damage or even shutdown, and ensuring reliable compressor operation. Furthermore, when the real-time exhaust temperature is lower than the third exhaust temperature, the exhaust temperature is too low. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the enthalpy increase control valve is closed to disconnect the enthalpy increase pipeline, thereby allowing all refrigerant to participate in the main circulation, quickly increasing the exhaust temperature, which is beneficial to the reliable operation of the air conditioning system.

[0076] Optionally, the third exhaust temperature can be set according to the compressor configuration information. Preferably, the third exhaust temperature can be set to 50°C to determine whether the exhaust temperature is too low and trigger the protection. The third exhaust temperature can also be adjusted according to the user's actual needs, and can be set to any other reasonable value such as 45°C or 60°C.

[0077] Based on the above air conditioning system, combined with Figure 5 As shown, this disclosure provides another control method for an air conditioning system, including:

[0078] S501, with the enthalpy-increasing pipeline open, the processor obtains the real-time discharge temperature of the compressor.

[0079] S502: When the real-time exhaust temperature is higher than the first exhaust temperature, the processor opens the supercooling control valve to guide the supercooling pipeline.

[0080] S503: When the real-time exhaust temperature is lower than the second exhaust temperature, the processor adjusts the compressor's operating frequency.

[0081] S504, the processor adjusts the opening of the throttling device.

[0082] S505, the processor closes the subcooling control valve to disconnect the subcooling line.

[0083] The second exhaust temperature is less than or equal to the first exhaust temperature.

[0084] The control method for air conditioning systems provided in this disclosure improves system energy efficiency and ensures air conditioning cooling and heating capacity under extreme environments by activating the enthalpy-increasing pipeline. As the enthalpy-increasing pipeline operates, this disclosure continuously acquires the real-time discharge temperature of the compressor to monitor its normal operation. When the real-time discharge temperature exceeds a first discharge temperature, over-discharge temperature protection is triggered. This disclosure opens the subcooling control valve to allow the introduction of a lower-temperature refrigerant into the gas-liquid separator for cooling, thereby reducing the compressor's suction temperature and achieving the protection purpose of reducing discharge temperature. When the real-time discharge temperature continues to decrease until it falls below a second discharge temperature, the over-discharge temperature protection is deactivated. However, the subcooling control valve is not immediately closed; instead, the compressor's operating frequency is adaptively adjusted to pre-reduce the compressor's power under high load conditions before the subcooling control valve closes. This allows for advance preparation of the load to be borne, preventing compressor overload damage or even shutdown, and ensuring reliable compressor operation. Before closing the subcooling control valve, the embodiments of this disclosure can also adaptively adjust the opening of the throttling device to reduce the refrigerant flow in the enthalpy-increasing pipeline before the subcooling control valve closes. This proactively reduces the load that is about to change abruptly, thus avoiding compressor overload damage or even shutdown, and helping to ensure reliable compressor operation.

[0085] Optionally, in this embodiment of the disclosure, when the real-time exhaust temperature is lower than the second exhaust temperature, the order between step S503 (processor adjusting the compressor's operating frequency) and step S504 (processor adjusting the throttling device's opening) is not specifically limited. Steps S503 and S504 can be executed in parallel or sequentially.

[0086] Optionally, the processor adjusts the opening degree of the throttling device, including: the processor adjusting the opening degree of the throttling device according to the real-time current of the compressor. In this way, the embodiments of this disclosure can detect the real-time current of the compressor to determine whether the compressor is in or about to be in an overload state before the subcooling control valve closes. Then, the embodiments of this disclosure determine whether it is necessary to make corresponding adjustments to the opening degree of the throttling device to reasonably reduce the refrigerant flow in the enthalpy-increasing pipeline. This can avoid compressor overload damage or even shutdown, and is beneficial to ensuring reliable compressor operation.

[0087] Optionally, the processor adjusts the opening of the throttling device based on the real-time current of the compressor, including: reducing the opening of the throttling device when the ratio of the real-time current of the compressor to the frequency-limiting current is greater than a preset ratio; or maintaining the opening of the throttling device when the ratio is less than or equal to the preset ratio. Thus, when the ratio of the real-time current of the compressor to the frequency-limiting current is greater than the preset ratio, it indicates that the compressor is currently under high load. At this time, closing the subcooling control valve increases the likelihood of overload damage and compressor shutdown. Therefore, this embodiment appropriately reduces the opening of the throttling device to pre-reduce the refrigerant flow in the enthalpy-increasing pipeline before the subcooling control valve closes. This proactively reduces the impending sudden load change, preventing compressor overload damage or even shutdown, and ensuring reliable compressor operation. Conversely, when the ratio of the real-time current of the compressor to the frequency-limiting current is less than or equal to the preset ratio, it indicates that the compressor is not currently under high load. Even if the subcooling control valve is closed at this time, the compressor is less likely to experience overload damage or shutdown. Therefore, the present embodiment maintains the opening of the throttling device to give full play to the enthalpy increase capacity of the system, thereby improving the system energy efficiency and ensuring the air conditioning cooling and heating capacity under extreme environments.

[0088] Optionally, the preset ratio can be set according to the operating mode of the air conditioning system. Preferably, the preset ratio can be set to 90% to determine the actual load state of the compressor before the subcooling control valve closes. The preset ratio can also be adjusted according to the user's actual needs, or set to any other reasonable value such as 80% or 95%.

[0089] Optionally, the processor reduces the opening of the throttling device by: determining a target reduction value for the opening based on a first opening of the throttling device before the subcooling control valve opens and a second opening of the throttling device after the subcooling control valve opens; and reducing the opening of the throttling device according to the target reduction value. Thus, this embodiment of the present disclosure can analyze the change in the opening of the throttling device before and after the subcooling pipeline is opened by combining the first and second opening values, thereby determining the change in compressor operating load corresponding to the opening and closing of the subcooling pipeline. Based on this, this embodiment of the present disclosure can predict the margin for subsequent load surges, and further determine a suitable target reduction value for the throttling device opening, thereby more reasonably reducing the refrigerant flow rate on the enthalpy-increasing pipeline, which is beneficial to ensuring reliable compressor operation.

[0090] Optionally, the processor determines the target reduction value of the throttling device based on the first opening degree of the throttling device before the subcooling control valve opens and the second opening degree of the throttling device after the subcooling control valve opens. This includes: the processor calculating the opening difference between the second opening degree of the throttling device after the subcooling control valve opens and the first opening degree of the throttling device before the subcooling control valve opens; and the processor calculating the product of the opening difference and the opening compensation coefficient to obtain the target reduction value of the opening. Thus, when the subcooling control valve opens, to achieve the protective purpose of reducing the exhaust temperature, the throttling device needs to adaptively increase its opening degree to reduce the refrigerant temperature at the outlet section of the heat exchange auxiliary circuit. Then, this embodiment of the present disclosure can determine the accurate target reduction value based on the opening difference of the throttling device and the opening compensation coefficient. The larger the opening difference between the second and first opening degrees, the greater the change in the opening degree of the throttling device after passing through the subcooling pipeline, and the more likely the compressor is to enter a full-load state. In this case, the risk of compressor overload damage caused by sudden load changes when the subcooling control valve is closed is greater. Therefore, the present invention can set a larger target reduction value to make the opening of the throttling device smaller when the subcooling control valve is closed, thereby reducing the refrigerant flow in the enthalpy-increasing pipeline more significantly. Thus, by actively reducing the appropriate amount of load that is about to change abruptly, the present invention can avoid compressor overload damage or even shutdown, which is beneficial to ensuring reliable compressor operation.

[0091] Optionally, the opening compensation coefficient can be determined empirically or obtained through experimental testing. Preferably, the opening compensation coefficient can be set to 0.85. The opening compensation coefficient can also be adjusted according to the user's actual needs, and can be set to any other reasonable value such as 0.5 or 1.0.
