[0033] 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.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a temperature control method for a test chamber according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to temperature control of test chambers such as environmental test chambers. The test chamber includes a control system, which includes a controller, a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, an evaporator fan, an electronic expansion valve, and a pulse solenoid valve. The compressor outlet is connected to the condenser inlet, the condenser outlet is connected to the evaporator inlet, and the evaporator outlet is connected to the compressor inlet. The electronic expansion valve and the pulse solenoid valve are both located in the pipeline connecting the condenser and the evaporator. The evaporator fan is located on one side of the evaporator. The compressor, evaporator fan, electronic expansion valve, and pulse solenoid valve are all electrically connected to the controller. This method can be executed by a temperature control device of the test chamber, which can be integrated into the controller of the temperature control system of the test chamber. The controller can be implemented in the form of software and / or hardware. The method specifically includes the following steps:

[0036] Step 110: Obtain the real-time temperature, target temperature, and target time of the test chamber.

[0037] The target temperature and target time of the test chamber can be input externally. The target time can be a preset time; for example, if the test chamber needs to be cooled, the target time is the preset target cooling time. The test chamber is equipped with a temperature sensor that monitors the temperature in real time. The controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensor to obtain the real-time temperature inside the test chamber.

[0038] Step 120: Determine the rate of temperature change of the environmental test chamber based on the real-time temperature, target temperature, and target time.

[0039] The rate of temperature change in the environmental test chamber is the value obtained by dividing the difference between the initial temperature (which can be the current temperature) and the target temperature by the target time.

[0040] Step 130: Based on the real-time temperature, target temperature, and rate of temperature change, control the operating status of the electronic expansion valve, pulse solenoid valve, and evaporator fan to control the temperature of the test chamber.

[0041] Specifically, based on the real-time and target temperatures, the control deviation of the pulse solenoid valve is determined. The control deviation is then calculated using calculus to obtain the opening degree of the pulse solenoid valve. Based on the real-time temperature and the rate of temperature change, the first opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is determined. Then, based on this first opening degree and the opening degree of the pulse solenoid valve, the final opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is determined. Finally, based on the real-time temperature and the rate of temperature change, the operating frequency of the evaporator fan is determined by referring to a table. By controlling the opening degrees of the electronic expansion valve, the pulse solenoid valve, and the operating frequency of the evaporator fan, temperature control of the test chamber, such as cooling control, is achieved.

[0042] It should be noted that the specific values ​​of the above target parameters can be determined according to actual control requirements, and are not limited here.

[0043] The temperature control method for the test chamber provided in this embodiment includes: acquiring the real-time temperature, target temperature, and target time of the test chamber; determining the temperature change rate of the test chamber based on the real-time temperature, target temperature, and target time; and controlling the working states of the electronic expansion valve, pulse solenoid valve, and evaporator fan based on the real-time temperature, target temperature, and temperature change rate to control the temperature of the test chamber. The temperature control method for the test chamber provided in this embodiment controls the working states of the electronic expansion valve, pulse solenoid valve, and evaporator fan based on the real-time temperature, target temperature, and temperature change rate. For example, based on the real-time temperature and target temperature, the control deviation of the pulse solenoid valve is determined, and calculus is performed on the control deviation to obtain the opening degree of the pulse solenoid valve. Combined with the working states of the electronic expansion valve, pulse solenoid valve, and evaporator fan, the temperature of the test chamber is controlled, such as controlling the cooling of the test chamber. The opening degree of the pulse solenoid valve can be obtained through calculus. Compared with the prior art of controlling the opening degree of the throttle valve through time intervals, the opening degree control is more reliable, solving the problems of poor temperature control stability and small cooling rate adaptability caused by poor control reliability in the prior art.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] Figure 2This is a flowchart of a temperature control method for a test chamber according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to temperature control of test chambers such as environmental test chambers. The test chamber includes a control system, which includes a controller, a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, an evaporator fan, an electronic expansion valve, and a pulse solenoid valve. The compressor outlet is connected to the condenser inlet, the condenser outlet is connected to the evaporator inlet, and the evaporator outlet is connected to the compressor inlet. The electronic expansion valve and the pulse solenoid valve are both located in the pipeline connecting the condenser and the evaporator. The evaporator fan is located on one side of the evaporator. The compressor, evaporator fan, electronic expansion valve, and pulse solenoid valve are all electrically connected to the controller. This method can be executed by a temperature control device of the test chamber, which can be integrated into the controller of the temperature control system of the test chamber. The controller can be implemented in the form of software and / or hardware. The method specifically includes the following steps:

[0046] Step 210: Obtain the real-time temperature, target temperature, and target time of the test chamber.

[0047] The target temperature and target time of the test chamber can be input externally. The target time can be a preset time; for example, if the test chamber needs to be cooled, the target time is the preset target cooling time. The test chamber is equipped with a temperature sensor that monitors the temperature in real time. The controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensor to obtain the real-time temperature inside the test chamber.

[0048] Step 220: Determine the initial temperature based on the real-time temperature, and calculate the difference between the target temperature and the initial temperature to obtain the temperature difference value.

[0049] The initial temperature can be the current temperature or a pre-set temperature.

[0050] Step 230: Divide the temperature difference by the target time and use the result as the rate of temperature change.

[0051] Specifically, the rate of temperature change V = (T0 - Tsv) / t, where Tsv is the target temperature, T0 is the initial temperature (which can be the current temperature), and t is the target time.

[0052] Step 240: Determine the control deviation e1(τ) of the pulse solenoid valve based on the real-time temperature and the target temperature.

[0053] in,

[0054] Step 250: Perform calculus and integration on the control deviation to obtain the opening degree Z of the pulse solenoid valve.

[0055] in, K1 is the proportional coefficient, I1 is the integral coefficient, and D1 is the differential coefficient. All of these are known quantities in the system.

[0056] Step 260: Determine the first opening degree S1 of the electronic expansion valve by looking up a table based on the real-time temperature and the rate of temperature change.

[0057] Specifically, the first opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is related to the temperature and temperature change rate inside the test chamber. For example, as the temperature inside the test chamber decreases, the first opening degree of the electronic expansion valve increases; as the temperature change rate increases, the first opening degree of the electronic expansion valve also increases. The first opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is determined based on a pre-established first database table. This first database table contains multiple first opening degrees of the electronic expansion valve corresponding to different temperatures and temperature change rates inside the test chamber, such as the cooling rate. The cooling rate and chamber temperature in Table 1 are all within their respective preset ranges. For example, the difference between two adjacent cooling rates is 0.1℃ / s, and the difference between two adjacent chamber temperatures is 0.5℃. For a real-time temperature of 20.4℃, the table is looked up based on the nearest 20.5℃; for a temperature change rate of 1.21℃ / s, the table is looked up based on the nearest 1.2℃ / s. By looking up these values, the real-time temperature and temperature change rate can be found in Table 1, along with the corresponding first opening degree S1 (S1 is between S11 and Sij).

[0058] Table 1

[0059] Internal temperature 1 The internal temperature of the chamber is 2 … Box internal temperature j Cooling rate 1 S11 S12 … S1j Cooling rate 2 S21 S22 … S2j … … … … … cooling rate i Si1 Si2 … Sij

[0060] Step 270: Determine the opening S of the electronic expansion valve based on the first opening S1 and the opening Z of the pulse solenoid valve.

[0061] Among them, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve When the opening degree of the pulse solenoid valve increases, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve also increases, and the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve increases as the opening degree of the pulse solenoid valve increases.

[0062] Step 280: Determine the operating frequency of the evaporator fan by referring to a table based on the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve and the rate of temperature change.

[0063] Specifically, the operating frequency of the evaporator fan is related to the temperature and temperature change rate inside the test chamber. For example, as the temperature inside the test chamber decreases, the operating frequency of the evaporator fan increases; as the temperature change rate increases, the operating frequency of the evaporator fan also increases. The operating frequency of the evaporator fan is determined based on a pre-established second database table, which contains multiple operating frequencies of the evaporator fan corresponding to different temperatures and temperature change rates inside the test chambers. The opening degree of the electronic expansion valve and the temperature inside the chamber in Table 2 are both within their respective preset ranges. For example, the difference in opening degree between two adjacent electronic expansion valves is 0.1 degrees, and the difference in temperature between two adjacent chambers is 0.5℃. For a real-time temperature of 19.8℃, the table is looked up based on the nearest 20℃; for an electronic expansion valve opening of 10.55 degrees, the table is looked up based on the nearest 10.5 or 10.6 degrees. By referring to these tables, the corresponding values ​​for the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve and the temperature change rate, as well as the operating frequency f of the evaporator fan (f is between f11 and f1j), can be found in Table 1.

[0064] Table 2

[0065] Internal temperature 1 The internal temperature of the chamber is 2 … Box internal temperature j Electronic expansion valve opening 1 f11 f12 … f1j Electronic expansion valve opening 2 f21 f22 … f2j … … … … … Electronic expansion valve opening i fi1 fi2 … fij

[0066] It should be noted that the values ​​of the preset ranges and target parameters mentioned above can be determined according to actual control requirements, and are not limited here.

[0067] The temperature control method for the test chamber provided in this embodiment determines the control deviation of the pulse solenoid valve based on the real-time temperature and the target temperature. It then performs calculus on the control deviation to obtain the opening degree of the pulse solenoid valve. Furthermore, it controls the temperature of the test chamber, such as by controlling the chamber's cooling, in conjunction with the operating states of the electronic expansion valve, the pulse solenoid valve, and the evaporator fan. The opening degree of the pulse solenoid valve is obtained through calculus, which is more reliable than the existing technology that controls the throttle valve opening via time intervals. This solves the problems of poor temperature control stability and a small cooling rate adaptation range caused by poor control reliability in the existing technology.
