[0040] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the technical solutions of the present application and are not used to limit the present application.
[0041] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0042] The main solution of the present application is: based on the indoor temperature, the compressor exhaust temperature and the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature, determine whether the cooling conditions are met; if so, control the stop valve to adjust to the initial opening; determine the target opening of the throttling device based on the exhaust temperature correction value of the compressor and the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature; adjust the second throttle valve to the target opening.
[0043] At present, most air conditioners on the market have low high-temperature cooling capacity. The main reason is that the cooling efficiency of air conditioners will decrease with the increase of ambient temperature. At the same time, in a high temperature environment, the condensing pressure and exhaust pressure of the air conditioning system will increase, the energy consumption of the compressor will increase, and the pressure limit of the compressor and pipelines will also need to be improved. The current common solution is to increase the exhaust pressure limit of the compressor to ensure the safe and stable operation of the system, improve the mechanical efficiency of the compressor to reduce the energy consumption of the compressor, or increase the heat exchange area or air volume of the outdoor unit to enhance heat exchange. However, the cost of the above solution is too high, and it will sacrifice the cooling capacity of the refrigeration system and reduce the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner.
[0044] The present application overcomes the technical defects in the related art that the refrigeration capacity of the refrigeration system needs to be sacrificed and the refrigeration efficiency of the system is reduced by combining the adjustment of the air conditioner with the adjustment of the opening of the throttling device in the air conditioner. The application achieves the technical effect of having little impact on the refrigeration capacity of the refrigeration system, reducing the exhaust pressure and temperature of the compressor, and significantly improving the energy efficiency and reliability of high-temperature refrigeration.
[0045] It should be noted that the execution subject of this embodiment may be an air conditioner, or a computing service device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as a tablet computer, a personal computer, a mobile phone, etc., or an air conditioner control device capable of realizing the above functions, etc., and this embodiment does not specifically limit this. The following takes the air conditioner as the execution subject as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the following embodiments.
[0046] Based on this, the first embodiment of the present application proposes an air conditioner, referring to Figure 1 The air conditioner includes a compressor, a four-way valve, an outdoor heat exchanger and an indoor heat exchanger connected in sequence, the compressor includes a compression chamber and a cooling channel isolated from each other, the exhaust port and the air intake port of the compression chamber are both connected to the four-way valve, the first side of the outdoor heat exchanger is connected to the four-way valve, and the other side of the outdoor heat exchanger is provided with a first branch, the first branch is connected to the stop valve, the cooling channel and the air intake port in sequence.
[0047] In this embodiment, the flow direction of the refrigerant in the air conditioner in the cooling mode is shown. That is, the main body of the cooling flow is the compressor, the four-way valve, the outdoor heat exchanger and the indoor heat exchanger connected in sequence, and finally the indoor heat exchanger is connected to the air intake of the compressor through the four-way valve to complete the circulation of the refrigerant in the main line. In the main line, the first side of the outdoor heat exchanger, that is, the refrigerant inlet is connected to the four-way valve, and the refrigerant flows from the four-way valve to the outdoor heat exchanger.
[0048] Furthermore, relative to the other side of the first side of the outdoor heat exchanger, a first branch is provided on the other side of the outdoor heat exchanger, and the outdoor heat exchanger is connected to the cooling channel of the compressor through the first branch.
[0049] As an optional implementation, the first branch is provided with a shut-off valve. After the refrigerant flows out of the outdoor heat exchanger, it flows into the cooling channel of the compressor through the shut-off valve, and then flows to the suction port of the compression chamber through the cooling channel.
[0050] In this embodiment, the compressor includes a compression chamber and a cooling channel that are isolated from each other. When the refrigerant flows through the cooling channel, it exchanges heat with the compressor chamber, and then the refrigerant absorbs heat and evaporates, and then flows back to the air intake of the compressor. The compressor is cooled through this process.
[0051] Optionally, the first branch is provided with a stop valve and a throttling device, so that the refrigerant flows from the outdoor heat exchanger through the stop valve and the throttling device in sequence, and finally returns to the suction port of the compressor through the cooling channel of the compressor.
[0052] Exemplarily, the air conditioner mainly includes core components such as a compressor, a four-way valve, an outdoor heat exchanger, an indoor heat exchanger, a stop valve, and a throttling device. These components are connected in sequence to form two main refrigerant circulation circuits: a main refrigerant circulation circuit and an auxiliary refrigerant circulation circuit. The first side of the outdoor heat exchanger is connected to the four-way valve, while the other side forms a passage with the indoor heat exchanger and the compressor through different branches. Specifically, the outdoor heat exchanger is directly connected to the indoor heat exchanger through the second branch to form a main refrigerant circulation circuit; at the same time, through the first branch, the outdoor heat exchanger is connected to the stop valve, the throttling device in turn, and finally connected to the compressor. In the cavity of the compressor, a special cooling channel is designed to receive the refrigerant flowing in through the throttling device to achieve cooling of the compressor.
[0053] Furthermore, a second branch is provided on the other side of the outdoor heat exchanger relative to the first side, and the outdoor heat exchanger is connected to the indoor heat exchanger through the second branch, and further connected to the air intake port of the compressor through the indoor heat exchanger.
[0054] In the main refrigerant circulation loop, high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is discharged from the compressor and enters the outdoor heat exchanger through the four-way valve. In the outdoor heat exchanger, the refrigerant releases heat and changes from gas to liquid. The transformed high-pressure liquid refrigerant flows into the indoor heat exchanger through the second branch, absorbs heat in the indoor heat exchanger and evaporates into low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, which is sucked into the compressor again, completing a refrigeration cycle.
[0055] The auxiliary refrigerant circulation loop is mainly used for cooling the compressor. Part of the high-pressure liquid refrigerant coming out of the outdoor heat exchanger flows into the stop valve through the first branch, and after being controlled by the stop valve, it enters the throttling device (such as a capillary tube or an expansion valve) for throttling and pressure reduction. The throttled refrigerant passes through the cooling channel set in the compressor cavity, absorbs the heat generated when the compressor is working, thereby effectively reducing the operating temperature of the compressor. The cooled refrigerant finally returns to the compressor to complete the cooling cycle.
[0056] The cooling channel is located in the compressor cavity, and its design fully considers the flow characteristics of the refrigerant and the heat distribution inside the compressor. By optimizing the layout and shape of the cooling channel, it ensures that the refrigerant can fully contact the heat source inside the compressor and improve the cooling efficiency. The size and path of the cooling channel are precisely calculated to achieve the best cooling effect and minimum pressure loss.
[0057] The throttling device is a key component in the auxiliary refrigerant circulation loop, and its type and specifications directly affect the cooling effect. In this embodiment, the throttling device can be selected as a fixed orifice plate, a capillary tube or a thermal expansion valve, etc. The specific selection depends on the overall design and operating conditions of the air conditioner. The adjustment capability of the throttling device can ensure that the refrigerant flow matches the cooling demand of the compressor under different working conditions, and keep the compressor working in the optimal temperature range.
[0058] Furthermore, in the second branch, a second throttling device is provided between the refrigerant outlet of the outdoor heat exchanger and the refrigerant inlet of the indoor heat exchanger to control the refrigerant flow and reduce the refrigerant pressure and temperature. Among them, limiting the excessive refrigerant flow and pressure entering the compressor can prevent the abnormal increase of the internal temperature of the compressor, thereby improving the reliability of the system and extending the service life of the equipment.
[0059] In this embodiment, an auxiliary refrigerant circulation loop is provided outside the main refrigerant circulation loop, and part of the high-pressure liquid refrigerant coming out of the outdoor heat exchanger flows into the stop valve through the first branch, and after being controlled by the stop valve, enters the throttling device (such as a capillary tube or an expansion valve) for throttling and pressure reduction. The throttled refrigerant passes through a cooling channel provided in the compressor cavity to absorb the heat generated when the compressor is working. It is sufficient to lead out part of the refrigerant at the refrigerant outlet, and the entire refrigeration system is slightly modified, and basically no additional components need to be added, which reduces the implementation cost of the solution. At the same time, the internal cooling capacity of the refrigeration system is used to liquid-cool the compressor, which effectively reduces the compressor power and the compressor exhaust temperature.
[0060] Based on the first embodiment, the second embodiment of the present application proposes a control method for an air conditioner. Figure 2 , the control method of the air conditioner comprises steps S110 to S130:
[0061] Step S110 , determining whether a first threshold condition is satisfied based on the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature, and determining whether a second threshold condition is satisfied based on the compressor exhaust temperature.
[0062] In this embodiment, the indoor temperature is the current indoor ambient temperature measured by the indoor thermostat. The compressor exhaust temperature is the temperature of the compressor exhaust measured by the temperature sensor near the compressor exhaust port. The outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature is the surface temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger coil measured by the temperature sensor installed on the outdoor heat exchanger. The cooling condition is a set condition, including but not limited to the intervals of the indoor temperature, the compressor exhaust temperature and the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature, or the numerical relationship between the three.
[0063] Exemplarily, the indoor thermostat, compressor exhaust temperature sensor and outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature sensor are integrated into the air conditioning control system. During the system initialization phase, the reading calibration and threshold of each sensor are set. The system monitors the indoor temperature, compressor exhaust temperature and outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature in real time. The data is collected and transmitted to the central control unit. The central control unit analyzes the received data to determine whether the cooling conditions are met.
[0064] Optionally, step S110 includes: determining whether the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature meets a first threshold condition, and whether the exhaust temperature correction value meets a second threshold condition. If both are met, executing the step of determining the indoor correction temperature based on the indoor temperature; otherwise, the air conditioner maintains the current operating state.
[0065] That is, if the first threshold condition is not met, or the second threshold condition is not met, the compressor is controlled to maintain the current operating state.
[0066] As an optional implementation, a first threshold is obtained, and based on the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature and the first threshold, whether the first preset condition is met is determined. A second threshold is obtained, and based on the second threshold and the compressor exhaust temperature, whether the second threshold condition is met is determined.
[0067] Step S120: if the first threshold condition is met and / or the second threshold condition is met, determining a corrected indoor temperature based on the indoor temperature.
[0068] In this embodiment, indoor temperature: the current indoor ambient temperature measured by the indoor thermostat. Indoor corrected temperature: a temperature value determined based on the determined first correction coefficient and the indoor temperature, used to evaluate the indoor heat load and air conditioning demand. That is, the indoor corrected temperature is determined based on the first correction coefficient and the indoor temperature.
[0069] As an optional implementation, if the first threshold condition is met, the indoor corrected temperature is determined based on the indoor temperature.
[0070] As another optional implementation, if the second threshold condition is met, the indoor corrected temperature is determined based on the indoor temperature.
[0071] As another optional implementation, if the first threshold condition and the second threshold condition are satisfied at the same time, the indoor corrected temperature is determined based on the indoor temperature.
[0072] Optionally, determining the indoor corrected temperature based on the indoor temperature includes: illustratively, obtaining the indoor temperature and a second reference temperature, where the second reference temperature is a set temperature, a historical indoor temperature, or a preset value. The historical indoor temperature is the indoor temperature before a set time interval, such as the indoor temperature ten minutes before the current moment. The preset value is a set value, such as 20 degrees or 26 degrees. The indoor corrected temperature is determined by dividing the indoor temperature by the second reference temperature.
[0073] Optionally, the first correction coefficient X is obtained, the indoor temperature T1 is obtained, and the indoor correction temperature is determined to be T1*X. That is, the indoor correction temperature is the product of the indoor temperature and the first correction coefficient.
[0074] Exemplarily, the first correction coefficient X is a preset value of 1.1 or 0.9.
[0075] Step S130: If the indoor corrected temperature meets the temperature condition, the stop valve is controlled to be adjusted to an initial opening.
[0076] In this embodiment, the stop valve is a valve used to control the flow of refrigerant to the throttling device, and its opening is adjustable. The initial opening is a preset opening of the stop valve. If the condition is met, a signal is sent to the stop valve to adjust it to the initial opening. Temperature condition: is a preset range or specific value of indoor corrected temperature, which is used to judge the indoor comfort and the urgency of cooling demand.
[0077] As an optional implementation manner, the initial opening is the maximum opening.
[0078] As another optional implementation, the initial opening is one-half opening.
[0079] As another optional implementation, the initial opening is positively correlated with the indoor temperature, that is, the lower the indoor temperature, the smaller the initial opening, and the higher the indoor temperature, the larger the initial opening.
[0080] Optionally, if not satisfied, the air conditioner maintains the current operating mode.
[0081] Furthermore, the temperature condition is associated with a numerical value type of the indoor corrected temperature.
[0082] Considering that in cooling mode, the indoor temperature should be as close to the set temperature as possible, when the second reference temperature is the set temperature, the temperature interval corresponding to the temperature condition is a closed interval from -1.1 to 1.1, or a closed interval from -1.3 to 1.3. If the indoor corrected temperature is not within the temperature interval, it is determined that the air conditioner meets the cooling condition, and step S130 is executed.
[0083] Optionally, if the indoor temperature does not meet the temperature condition, the compressor is controlled to perform a frequency reduction process.
[0084] As an optional implementation, if the indoor corrected temperature is within the temperature range, it is determined that the temperature condition is not met, and the compressor is controlled to perform a frequency reduction process, that is, the external unit performs a frequency reduction process to improve the reliability of the cooling process.
[0085] Exemplarily, the system monitors the indoor temperature, the compressor exhaust temperature, and the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature in real time. Collect data and transmit it to the central control unit. The control unit analyzes the received data to determine whether the first and second threshold conditions are met. Calculate the exhaust temperature correction value and the indoor correction temperature. According to the exhaust temperature correction value and the indoor correction temperature, determine whether the cooling and temperature reduction conditions are met. If met, perform subsequent cooling operations; if not, perform the frequency reduction process.
[0086] As another optional implementation in this embodiment, the indoor corrected temperature is the rate of change of the indoor temperature, that is, the indoor corrected temperature is the difference between the indoor temperature and the historical indoor temperature, divided by the unit time.
[0087] In this embodiment, since it is a cooling mode, the temperature is expected to decrease, that is, the indoor corrected temperature is a negative number. Therefore, the temperature coefficient threshold is determined to be any value in a closed interval consisting of -0.5 to 0. For example, -0.5, -0.4, -0.3, -0.2, -0.1 and 0. If the indoor corrected temperature is less than the temperature coefficient threshold, it is determined that the indoor corrected temperature does not meet the temperature condition. If the indoor corrected temperature is greater than or equal to the temperature coefficient threshold, it is determined that the temperature condition is met.
[0088] The present application provides a control method for an air conditioner. The present application first collects indoor temperature, compressor exhaust temperature and outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature in real time to determine whether the cooling and temperature reduction conditions are met. If not, the compressor is controlled to reduce frequency to achieve cooling and improve the reliability of the air conditioner operation. If it is met, it is determined to execute the cooling and temperature reduction mode, and the stop valve is controlled to be adjusted to the initial opening; the target opening of the throttling device is determined based on the exhaust temperature correction value of the compressor and the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature; and the second throttling valve is adjusted to the target opening. Among them, the air conditioner includes a compressor, a four-way valve, an outdoor heat exchanger, a first throttling device and an indoor heat exchanger connected in sequence, the outdoor heat exchanger is connected to the first throttling device through a second branch, the outdoor heat exchanger is connected to the stop valve, the throttling device and the compressor in sequence through the first branch, and a cooling channel is provided in the cavity of the compressor so that the refrigerant flows into the cooling channel through the throttling device. Thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the operating stability and refrigeration efficiency of the air conditioner under high temperature conditions.
[0089] In summary, the present application overcomes the technical defects in the related art that the refrigeration capacity of the refrigeration system needs to be sacrificed and the refrigeration efficiency of the system is reduced by combining the adjustment of the air conditioner and the adjustment of the opening of the throttling device in the air conditioner, thereby achieving the technical effect of having little impact on the refrigeration capacity of the refrigeration system, reducing the exhaust pressure and temperature of the compressor, and significantly improving the energy efficiency and reliability of high-temperature refrigeration.
[0090] Based on the above embodiments, embodiment 3 of the present application proposes a control method for an air conditioner. The same or similar contents as those of the above embodiments 1 and 2 can be referred to the above introduction and will not be repeated later.
[0091] Step S110 includes:
[0092] Step S310: If the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature is greater than a first threshold, it is determined that the first threshold condition is met.
[0093] In this embodiment, the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature refers to the temperature of the surface of the outdoor heat exchanger coil, which is usually measured by a temperature sensor installed on the outdoor heat exchanger. The first threshold condition is a preset temperature value used to determine whether the outdoor heat exchanger coil is in an over-high temperature state, which may indicate that the heat dissipation efficiency of the outdoor heat exchanger is insufficient.
[0094] The outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature is collected to determine whether the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature is greater than a first threshold corresponding to a first threshold condition. If so, it is determined that the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature meets the first threshold condition.
[0095] Step S320: determining an exhaust temperature correction value of the compressor based on the compressor exhaust temperature.
[0096] In this embodiment, the exhaust temperature correction value is defined as the ratio of the compressor exhaust temperature to a first reference temperature, and the first reference temperature can be determined according to actual application and system design. Alternatively, the exhaust temperature correction value is the product of the compressor exhaust temperature and the second correction coefficient.
[0097] As an optional implementation, a preset second correction coefficient Y is obtained, the compressor exhaust temperature TP is obtained, and the exhaust temperature correction value is determined to be TP*Y.
[0098] Exemplarily, the second correction coefficient is 0.9 or 1.1.
[0099] In this embodiment, the first correction coefficient and the second correction coefficient are both correction coefficients, and the correction coefficients are determined according to the actual air-conditioning system and the control strategy. The correction coefficients are obtained by experimental or simulation methods. For example, the compressor exhaust temperature at different indoor temperatures is measured experimentally, and then the correction coefficients are obtained by data fitting. Alternatively, a mathematical model of the air-conditioning system is established and the correction coefficients are obtained by simulation calculation. In practical applications, the correction coefficients change with the changes in factors such as the operating state and environmental conditions of the air-conditioning system, so the correction coefficients need to be updated or adjusted regularly. In addition, the determination of the correction coefficients also needs to take into account the control objectives of the air-conditioning system. For example, if the control objective is to keep the indoor temperature constant, then the correction coefficients enable this objective to be achieved under various conditions. If the control objective is to optimize the energy efficiency ratio of the air-conditioning system, then the correction coefficients should be able to achieve the optimal energy efficiency ratio under various conditions.
[0100] As an optional implementation, the rated operating temperature determined when the air-conditioning system is designed, or it can be the average exhaust temperature obtained from experimental data. The exhaust temperature is directly measured by a temperature sensor installed at the compressor exhaust port, or estimated by a thermodynamic model and known system parameters (such as evaporation temperature and condensation temperature). Select a first reference temperature and determine a suitable first reference temperature based on the system design standard or actual operating conditions. Measure the exhaust temperature and install a temperature sensor at the compressor exhaust port to measure the exhaust temperature in real time. Calculate the exhaust temperature correction value and determine the exhaust temperature correction value based on the compressor exhaust temperature divided by the first reference temperature.
[0101] Step S330: If the exhaust temperature correction value is greater than a second threshold, it is determined that the second threshold condition is met.
[0102] In this embodiment, the compressor exhaust temperature refers to the temperature of the refrigerant gas discharged by the compressor, which is measured by a temperature sensor near the compressor exhaust port. Exhaust temperature correction value: a coefficient calculated based on the compressor exhaust temperature, reflecting the current heat load of the compressor and the pressure ratio of the system. The second threshold condition: a preset threshold of the exhaust temperature correction value, which is used to evaluate whether the compressor is close to an overheating state or whether the system is under high load operation.
[0103] After the exhaust temperature correction value is determined, a second threshold corresponding to the second threshold condition is obtained, and if the exhaust temperature correction value is greater than the second threshold, it is determined that the second threshold condition is met.
[0104] Since the exhaust temperature correction value of the compressor is determined based on the compressor exhaust temperature if the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature meets the first threshold condition; the indoor correction temperature is determined based on the indoor temperature if the exhaust temperature correction value meets the second threshold condition; if the indoor correction temperature meets the temperature condition, it is determined that the cooling condition is met. That is, a joint judgment is made through multiple parameters such as indoor temperature, compressor exhaust temperature and outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature to determine whether the air conditioner maintains the current operating mode, performs a frequency reduction process, or performs a cooling process. This improves the reliability of the air conditioner under high temperature conditions.
[0105] Based on the above embodiments, a control method for an air conditioner is proposed in Embodiment 4 of the present application. The same or similar contents as those in the above embodiments can be referred to the above introduction and will not be described in detail later. Figure 3 , after step S130, including:
[0106] Step S410: determining a target opening degree of the throttling device based on the exhaust temperature correction value of the compressor and the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature.
[0107] In this embodiment, the exhaust temperature correction value is a coefficient calculated based on the compressor exhaust temperature, reflecting the current heat load of the compressor. The target opening is the opening of the throttling device calculated by the system algorithm based on the exhaust temperature correction value and the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature to achieve the best refrigerant flow and cooling effect.
[0108] As an optional implementation, the exhaust temperature correction value is determined based on the compressor exhaust temperature, the first numerical relationship between the exhaust temperature correction value and the coefficient threshold, and the second numerical relationship between the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature and the temperature threshold are determined, and the target opening of the throttling device is determined based on the first numerical relationship and the second numerical relationship.
[0109] Step S420, adjusting the second throttle valve to the target opening.
[0110] In this embodiment, the throttling device may be an expansion valve, an electronic expansion valve (EXV) or other types of flow control devices. Adjusting to the target opening is that the control system automatically adjusts the opening of the throttling device according to the calculated target opening, which is achieved by an electric actuator or a similar mechanism.
[0111] After the target opening is determined, the throttling device is controlled to be adjusted to the target opening to cooperate with the initial opening of the stop valve to jointly control the flow of the refrigerant in the first branch to cool the compressor.
[0112] Optionally, step S410 includes: determining the target opening degree based on a first numerical relationship between the exhaust temperature correction value and the coefficient threshold, and a second numerical relationship between the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature and the coil temperature threshold.
[0113] In this embodiment, the coefficient threshold and the coil temperature threshold are set values, which are obtained in advance from laboratory data and stored in the storage module of the air conditioner.
[0114] As an optional implementation, first, the system will monitor and calculate the exhaust temperature correction value in real time, and compare it with the preset coefficient threshold. The exhaust temperature correction value reflects the temperature condition at the exhaust of the compressor and is one of the important parameters for judging the thermal load of the system. The relationship between the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature and the coil temperature threshold is judged. At the same time, the system will also detect the coil temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger and compare it with a preset coil temperature threshold. This parameter is crucial for evaluating the impact of external ambient temperature on the condensation effect. Based on the numerical relationship between the above two parameters and their respective thresholds, the system will determine the target opening of the electronic expansion valve. Different combinations correspond to different opening settings to adapt to different operating conditions and ensure efficient and stable operation of the system.
[0115] There are four specific situations:
[0116] S1, if the exhaust temperature correction value is greater than the coefficient threshold, and the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature is greater than the coil temperature threshold, determine the target opening degree to be a first opening degree.
[0117] In this embodiment, if the exhaust temperature correction value exceeds the coefficient threshold and the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature also exceeds the coil temperature threshold, this indicates that the system is in a high heat load state and the external ambient temperature is high or the condensing condition is not good. At this time, the system sets the opening of the electronic expansion valve to the first opening, which may be a relatively small opening value, to reduce the refrigerant flow and prevent the compressor from overheating.
[0118] That is, the throttle valve controls the flow rate to R1 and the cooling temperature to U1. At this time, the reliability requirement of the compressor is given priority. After passing through the throttle valve, the cold refrigerant is throttled and cooled to meet the compressor's reduced exhaust demand.
[0119] S2: If the exhaust temperature correction value is greater than the coefficient threshold, and the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature is less than the coil temperature threshold, determine the target opening degree to be a second opening degree.
[0120] In this embodiment, if the exhaust temperature correction value is still higher than the threshold, but the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature is lower than the threshold, it indicates that although the internal heat load of the system is high, the external condensing conditions are more favorable. At this time, the system may adjust the electronic expansion valve to a second opening, which may be slightly larger than the first opening, to increase the refrigerant flow rate and improve efficiency by taking advantage of the good external condensing conditions.
[0121] That is, the throttle valve controls the flow rate to R2, and the cooling temperature to U2. At this time, the reliability requirements and energy efficiency ratio of the compressor are considered at the same time. After the cold refrigerant passes through the throttle valve, it is appropriately throttled and cooled to be compatible with the compressor's reduced exhaust requirements and energy efficiency ratio requirements.
[0122] S3: If the exhaust temperature correction value is less than the coefficient threshold, and the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature is greater than the coil temperature threshold, determine the target opening to be a third opening.
[0123] In this embodiment, when the exhaust temperature correction value is lower than the threshold value and the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature is higher than the threshold value, it means that the system heat load is low, but the external condensation conditions are unfavorable. At this time, the system may select the third opening, which will take into account the need to reduce the refrigerant flow rate and avoid excessive condensation.
[0124] That is, the throttle valve controls the flow rate to R3 and the cooling temperature to U3. At this time, the air conditioning energy efficiency ratio requirement is prioritized. After the cold refrigerant passes through the throttle valve, it is slightly throttled and cooled to be compatible with the compressor to reduce the exhaust demand and energy efficiency ratio requirements.
[0125] S4: If the exhaust temperature correction value is less than the coefficient threshold, and the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature is less than the coil temperature threshold, determine the target opening degree to be a fourth opening degree.
[0126] In this embodiment, finally, if the exhaust temperature correction value and the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature are both lower than their respective thresholds, indicating that the system is in a low heat load state and the external condensing conditions are good, the system will use the fourth opening, which may be the maximum opening setting, to maximize the refrigerant flow and system efficiency.
[0127] That is, the throttle valve controls the flow rate to R4 and the cooling temperature to U4. At this time, the air conditioning energy efficiency ratio requirement is prioritized. After the cold refrigerant passes through the throttle valve, throttling and cooling are not required, so as to achieve the maximum energy efficiency ratio requirement in the current mode.
[0128] It should be noted that the first opening is greater than the second opening, the second opening is greater than the third opening, and the third opening is greater than the fourth opening. The cooling temperature U1 is less than the cooling temperature U2, the cooling temperature U2 is less than the cooling temperature U3, and the cooling temperature U3 is less than the cooling temperature U4.
[0129] Optionally, after step S420, it also includes: if the operating time of the throttling device after being adjusted to the target opening meets the time threshold, re-execute the steps of determining whether the first threshold condition is met based on the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature, and determining whether the second threshold condition is met based on the compressor exhaust temperature.
[0130] In this embodiment, after N time has passed, the air conditioner re-performs the stage determination and enters the normal cooling mode start determination. After the throttling device performs the cooling process, that is, after the throttling device is adjusted to the target opening, the operation time meets the time threshold, and step S110 is re-performed.
[0131] As an optional implementation manner, the time threshold is a preset value, such as ten minutes, fifteen minutes, twenty minutes, etc., which is not specifically limited here.
[0132] As another optional implementation, a numerical difference between the exhaust temperature correction value and the coefficient threshold is determined, and the time threshold is determined according to the numerical difference.
[0133] Exemplarily, the numerical difference is positively correlated with the time threshold, that is, the larger the numerical difference, the larger the time threshold.
[0134] Through the above control method based on the dual judgment of the exhaust temperature correction value and the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature, the opening of the electronic expansion valve can be adjusted more accurately, thereby optimizing the performance of the air conditioning system under different environmental and load conditions. This method not only improves energy efficiency, but also helps to extend the service life of the equipment.
[0135] Exemplarily, to facilitate the understanding of the technical concept or technical principle of the control method of the air conditioner after combining this embodiment with any of the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 A schematic flowchart of the control method of the air conditioner is provided as follows:
[0136] When the air conditioner enters the cooling mode, the temperatures of T3, TP, and T1 are collected and recorded simultaneously. Among them, T3 is the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger coil, T is the indoor temperature, TP is the compressor discharge temperature, Tp*Y is the exhaust temperature correction value, T1*X is the indoor corrected temperature, R is the cooling channel flow rate, U is the cooling temperature of the cooling channel, and R1 is the initial opening degree of the electronic expansion valve.
[0137] Enter the determination step. For the first threshold condition determination: when T3>T30, the condition is met and proceed to the next step for calculation. When not met, the air conditioner maintains the current mode. T30 is the first threshold.
[0138] For the second threshold condition determination: detect TP*Y, and determine whether the exhaust temperature correction value is greater than the second threshold TP0. If the condition is met, proceed to the next step for calculation. When not met, the air conditioner maintains the current mode.
[0139] When the above conditions are met simultaneously, detect the indoor corrected temperature T1*X. When T1*X is met, it is regarded as meeting the user's preset temperature requirement, and the outdoor unit can perform frequency reduction to achieve temperature reduction and improve reliability. When the condition is not met, the air conditioner proceeds to the next action;
[0140] The air conditioner turns on the cooling and temperature reduction mode, and the stop valve opens. At this time, according to the exhaust temperature correction value and the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger coil, there are the following four situations:
[0141] 1. When TP*Y>TP0 and T3>T31, the throttle valve controls the flow rate to be R1 and the cooling temperature to be U1. At this time, the compressor reliability requirement is given priority. After the cold refrigerant passes through the throttle valve, it undergoes throttling and temperature reduction to meet the compressor's exhaust reduction requirement.
[0142] 2. When TP*Y>TP0 and T3<T31, the throttle valve controls the flow rate to be R2 and the cooling temperature to be U2. At this time, both the compressor reliability requirement and the energy efficiency ratio are considered. After the cold refrigerant passes through the throttle valve, it undergoes appropriate throttling and temperature reduction to be compatible with the compressor's exhaust reduction requirement and the energy efficiency ratio requirement.
[0143] 3. When TP*Y<TP0 and T3>T31, the throttle valve controls the flow rate to be R3 and the cooling temperature to be U3. At this time, the air conditioner energy efficiency ratio requirement is given priority. After the cold refrigerant passes through the throttle valve, it undergoes slight throttling and temperature reduction to be compatible with the compressor's exhaust reduction requirement and the energy efficiency ratio requirement.
[0144] 4. When TP*Y < TP0 and T3 < T31, the throttle valve controls the flow rate to be R4 and the cooling temperature to be U4. At this time, to meet the priority air conditioner energy efficiency ratio requirement, the refrigerant after the throttle valve can avoid throttling and temperature reduction, achieving the maximum energy efficiency ratio requirement in the current mode.
[0145] After N time periods, the air conditioner re - judges the stage and enters the determination for starting the conventional refrigeration mode.
[0146] This application provides a control device for an air conditioner.
