[0041] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] Figure 1This is a flowchart of a speed step size control method for a variable frequency compressor provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations where the speed step size of the variable frequency compressor is adjusted, such as by reducing it. The variable frequency compressor is used in environmental testing equipment. This method can be executed by a speed step size control device for the variable frequency compressor. This device can be implemented by software and / or hardware. The device can be integrated into the controller of the refrigeration system. The method specifically includes the following steps:

[0044] Step 110: Obtain the current temperature of the inner chamber of the environmental testing equipment and the temperature at a preset time before the current time.

[0045] The current temperature and the temperature at a preset time before the current time can be collected in real time by a temperature sensor installed inside the environmental test equipment. The speed step control device is electrically connected to the temperature sensor and can obtain and store the real-time temperature collected by the temperature sensor.

[0046] Step 120: Based on the current temperature and the temperature at the preset time, determine the difference between the current temperature and the temperature at the preset time, as well as the rate of temperature change.

[0047] Specifically, the difference between the current temperature TPV(n) and the preset temperature TPV(nx) is TPV(n)-TPV(nx), and the rate of temperature change is [TPV(n)-TPV(nx)] / [t(n)-t(nx)], where t(n) is the current time and t(nx) is the preset time.

[0048] Step 130: Control the speed step of the variable frequency compressor based on the difference, the rate of temperature change, the preset speed change step size, and the preset step size correction value.

[0049] For example, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a refrigeration system provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. (Reference) Figure 2 The refrigeration system includes a controller 10, a variable frequency compressor 20, a condenser, and an evaporator 30. The controller 10 is electrically connected to the variable frequency compressor 20. The condenser is connected to the evaporator 30 and the variable frequency compressor 20 via pipelines. The evaporator 30 is also connected to the variable frequency compressor 20 via pipelines. As described in any embodiment of the present invention, the speed step control device is integrated into the controller 10. The controller 10 can control the speed step of the variable frequency compressor 20. For example, when the rate of temperature change is greater than the preset temperature rate step control deviation, the speed step of the variable frequency compressor 20 can be controlled to be zero.

[0050] The variable frequency compressor speed step size control method provided in this embodiment is applied to an environmental testing device. It acquires the current temperature of the inner chamber of the environmental testing device and the temperature at a preset time prior to the current moment. Based on the current temperature and the temperature at the preset time, it determines the temperature difference between the two temperatures and the temperature change rate. Based on the temperature difference, the temperature change rate, a preset speed change step size, and a preset step size correction value, it controls the speed step size of the variable frequency compressor. This method, by controlling the speed step size of the variable frequency compressor based on the temperature difference between the current temperature and the preset time, the temperature change rate, the preset speed change step size, and the preset step size correction value, improves the reliability of speed step size control, prevents excessive energy consumption of the variable frequency compressor, and thus improves energy-saving effects.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a speed step size control method for a variable frequency compressor provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations where the speed step size of the variable frequency compressor is adjusted, such as by reducing it. The variable frequency compressor is used in environmental testing equipment. This method can be executed by a speed step size control device for the variable frequency compressor. This device can be implemented by software and / or hardware. The device can be integrated into the controller of the refrigeration system. The method specifically includes the following steps:

[0053] Step 210: Obtain the current temperature of the inner chamber of the environmental testing equipment and the temperature at a preset time before the current time.

[0054] Step 220: Based on the current temperature TPV(n) and the preset temperature TPV(nx), determine the difference between the current temperature and the preset temperature as TPV(n)-TPV(nx), and the temperature change rate dTPV_t_diff is [TPV(n)-TPV(nx)] / [t(n)-t(nx)].

[0055] Where t(n) is the current time and t(nx) is the preset time.

[0056] Step 230: If [TPV(n)-TPV(nx)] / [t(n)-t(nx)]≤dTPV_t_diff_con, and ROUND(ABS(dTPV_t_diff),2)≥TPV_rpm_step_change_corr_1, then f(a,b,c,...)_1 is INT(TPV_rpm_step_change_corr_2*ROUND(ABS(dTPV_t_diff),2)).

[0057] Wherein, the rotation speed step size of the variable-frequency compressor Δrpm_step = Min[(f(a,b,c,...)_1, Δrpm_step_max], where Δrpm_step_max is the preset maximum value of the rotation speed change step size; both Δrpm_step_max and f(a,b,c,...)_1 are greater than or equal to zero; the preset step correction values include a preset first step correction value, a preset second step correction value, and a preset third step correction value. dTPV_t_diff_con is the preset temperature rate step control deviation, TPV_rpm_step_change_corr_1 is the preset first step correction value, and TPV_rpm_step_change_corr_2 is the preset second step correction value.

[0058] Step 240: If [TPV(n)-TPV(n-x)] / [t(n)-t(n-x)]≤dTPV_t_diff_con, and ROUND(ABS(dTPV_t_diff),2)<TPV_rpm_step_change_corr_1, then f(a,b,c,...)_1 is INT(ROUND(TPV_rpm_step_change_corr_3*ABS(dTPV_t_diff),2)).

[0059] Wherein, TPV_rpm_step_change_corr_3 is the preset third step correction value.

[0060] Step 250: If f(a,b,c,...)_1≤Δrpm_step_min, adjust f(a,b,c,...)_1 to Δrpm_step_min.

[0061] Wherein, Δrpm_step_min is the preset minimum value of the rotation speed change step size, and Δrpm_step_min is greater than or equal to zero.

[0062] Step 260: If f(a,b,c,...)_1≤Δrpm_step_max, take the current f(a,b,c,...)_1 as the rotation speed step size Δrpm_step of the variable-frequency compressor.

[0063] Step 270: If Δrpm_step_min<f(a,b,c,...)_1≤Δrpm_step_max, take the current f(a,b,c,...)_1 as the rotation speed step size Δrpm_step of the variable-frequency compressor.

[0064] Wherein, Δrpm_step_min is the preset minimum value of the rotation speed change step size;

[0065] Step 280: If f(a,b,c,...)_1>△rpm_step_max, then △rpm_step_max is used as the speed step size △rpm_step of the variable frequency compressor.

[0066] Step 290: If [TPV(n)-TPV(nx)] / [t(n)-t(nx)]>dTPV_t_diff_con, then adjust f(a,b,c,...)_1 in the speed step size △rpm_step of the variable frequency compressor to 0.

[0067] Wherein, dTPV_t_diff_con is the preset temperature rate step size control deviation.

[0068] It should be noted that each preset value in each embodiment can be set according to the actual speed step size control requirements, and is not limited here.

[0069] Step 291: If the adjusted f(a,b,c,...)_1 ≤ △rpm_step_max, then take the current f(a,b,c,...)_1 as the speed step △rpm_step of the variable frequency compressor.

[0070] Wherein, △rpm_step_min is the preset minimum step size for speed change.

[0071] Step 292: If the adjusted f(a,b,c,...)_1>△rpm_step_max, then △rpm_step_max is used as the speed step size △rpm_step of the variable frequency compressor.

[0072] For example, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a refrigeration system provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. The controller 10 in the refrigeration system controls the speed step size of the variable frequency compressor 20, for example, controlling the speed step size of the variable frequency compressor 20 to be Δrpm_step_max.

[0073] Figure 5 This is a flowchart of another speed step control method for a variable frequency compressor provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. (See reference) Figure 5 The method includes the following steps:

[0074] Step 1: Obtain the current temperature TPV(n) of the inner chamber of the environmental test equipment and the temperature TPV(nx) at a preset time before the current time.

[0075] Step 2: Determine the difference between the current temperature and the temperature at the preset time as TPV(n)-TPV(nx), and the temperature change rate dTPV_t_diff as [TPV(n)-TPV(nx)] / [t(n)-t(nx)].

[0076] Where t(n) is the current time and t(nx) is the preset time.

[0077] Step 3: Determine whether [TPV(n)-TPV(nx)] / [t(n)-t(nx)] is less than or equal to dTPV_t_diff_con; if yes, proceed to step 4; if no, proceed to step 12.

[0078] Step 4: Determine whether ROUND(ABS(dTPV_t_diff),2) is greater than or equal to TPV_rpm_step_change_corr_1; if yes, proceed to step 5; if no, proceed to step 6.

[0079] Step 5: Adjust the speed step size △rpm_step of the variable frequency compressor to f(a,b,c,...)_1 as INT(TPV_rpm_step_change_corr_2*ROUND(ABS(dTPV_t_diff),2)), and then execute Step 7.

[0080] Step 6: Adjust the speed step size △rpm_step of the variable frequency compressor to f(a,b,c,...)_1 as INT(ROUND(TPV_rpm_step_change_corr_3*ABS(dTPV_t_diff),2)).

[0081] Step 7: Determine whether f(a,b,c,...)_1 is less than or equal to Δrpm_step_min; if yes, proceed to step 8; if no, proceed to step 9.

[0082] Step 8: Adjust f(a,b,c,...)_1 to Δrpm_step_min.

[0083] Step 9: Determine whether f(a,b,c,...)_1 is less than or equal to Δrpm_step_max; if yes, proceed to step 10; if no, proceed to step 11.

[0084] Step 10: Use f(a,b,c,...)_1 at this time as the speed step size Δrpm_step of the variable frequency compressor.

[0085] Step 11: Use △rpm_step_max as the speed step size △rpm_step of the variable frequency compressor.

[0086] Step 12: Adjust f(a,b,c,...)_1 to 0, and return to Step 9.

[0087] The variable frequency compressor speed step size control method provided in this embodiment controls the speed step size of the variable frequency compressor based on the difference between the current temperature and the temperature at a preset time, as well as the temperature change rate, a preset speed change step size, and a preset step size correction value. This improves the reliability of speed step size control, prevents the variable frequency compressor from consuming too much energy, and thus improves energy saving.
