Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to heating technology, and in particular to a multi-energy coupling operation control method and a multi-energy coupling system. Background Art

[0002] Heat pump water heaters, also known as air-energy water heaters, are electrical appliances that absorb heat energy from the air to heat water through the operation of a heat pump. They are environmentally friendly and energy-saving. However, in environments with low ambient temperatures, the performance coefficient of heat pumps decreases significantly, and they may even fail to start normally, resulting in technical restrictions on the promotion of heat pumps. In response to this situation, one of the current solutions is to couple the auxiliary heat source with the heat pump. When the ambient temperature is low and the heat pump heating capacity is insufficient, the heat pump and the auxiliary heat source can be coupled to heat the water and ensure a stable heat supply.

[0003] During the operation of the heat pump coupled with the auxiliary heat source, due to the low ambient temperature, the fin surface of the heat pump evaporator will frost. When the frost reaches a certain thickness, the air inlet to the evaporator is blocked, resulting in a decrease in the heating efficiency of the heat pump, and a defrosting operation is required. The defrosting process will cause the water supply temperature of the water system to fluctuate greatly, affecting the user experience. Summary of the invention

[0004] One of the technical problems solved by the present invention is to provide a multi-energy coupling operation control method, which can reduce the fluctuation amplitude of water supply temperature of the water system and improve user experience.

[0005] The second technical problem solved by the present invention is to provide a multi-energy coupling system, which can reduce the fluctuation amplitude of water supply temperature of the water system and improve user experience.

[0006] The first technical problem mentioned above is solved by the following technical solution:

[0007] A multi-energy coupling operation control method, comprising:

[0008] During the coupled operation of the auxiliary heat source and the heat pump, upon receiving a defrost request from the heat pump, recording the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source as the initial inlet water temperature, and controlling the heat pump to enter a defrost operation mode;

[0009] When receiving a signal that the heat pump enters a defrost operation mode, recording the water inlet temperature of the auxiliary heat source as the first water inlet temperature, and taking the time when the heat pump enters the defrost operation mode as the first collection time;

[0010] Calculating a first load that needs to be increased by the auxiliary heat source at the first collection time based on a temperature difference between the initial water inlet temperature and the first water inlet temperature;

[0011] At the first collection moment, increasing the first load based on the current load of the auxiliary heat source;

[0012] When the heat pump is in the defrosting operation mode, continuously collecting the water inlet temperature of the auxiliary heat source, and determining the minimum water inlet temperature of the auxiliary heat source and the collection time of the minimum water inlet temperature;

[0013] Based on the temperature difference between the initial water inlet temperature and the minimum water inlet temperature, calculating the second load that the auxiliary heat source needs to increase at the time of collecting the minimum water inlet temperature;

[0014] At the time of collecting the lowest inlet water temperature, the second load is increased on the basis of the current load of the auxiliary heat source.

[0015] The multi-energy coupling operation control method provided by the present invention, during the coupled operation of the auxiliary heat source and the heat pump, when a defrost request of the heat pump is received, the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source is recorded as the initial inlet water temperature, and when a signal of the heat pump entering the defrost operation mode is received, the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source is recorded as the first inlet water temperature, and the time when the signal of the heat pump entering the defrost operation mode is received is taken as the first collection moment, based on the temperature difference between the initial inlet water temperature and the first inlet water temperature, the first load that needs to be added to the auxiliary heat source at the first collection moment is calculated, and at the first collection moment, the first load is increased on the basis of the current load of the auxiliary heat source. Since the heat pump stops supplying heat and has not yet started when it enters the defrost operation mode, During defrosting, the heat lost by the heat pump when it does not supply heat can be calculated, so the load of the auxiliary heat source can be accurately adjusted at the first collection time, thereby avoiding the situation in the prior art where the auxiliary heat source load is repeatedly adjusted during the heat pump stops supplying heat, resulting in large fluctuations in the outlet water temperature; and in the present application, when the heat pump is in the defrosting operation mode, the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source is continuously collected, and the minimum inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source and the collection time of the minimum inlet water temperature are determined. Based on the temperature difference between the initial inlet water temperature and the minimum inlet water temperature, the second load that needs to be added to the auxiliary heat source at the collection time of the minimum inlet water temperature is calculated, and at the collection time of the minimum inlet water temperature, the second load is added on the basis of the current load of the auxiliary heat source. Since the heat pump continuously absorbs heat during the defrosting process, and the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source is caused to decrease first and then increase during the entire defrosting process, when the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source reaches the minimum, adding the second load to the current load of the auxiliary heat source can compensate for the heat lost during the defrosting process of the heat pump to the greatest extent, thereby avoiding the situation in which the auxiliary heat source load is repeatedly adjusted during the defrosting process, resulting in large fluctuations in the outlet water temperature, thereby improving the user experience.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0064] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0066] As mentioned above, during the operation of the heat pump coupled with the auxiliary heat source, the defrosting operation of the heat pump will cause the water supply temperature of the water system to fluctuate greatly. This is because: during normal operation, the compressor of the heat pump compresses the refrigerant into a high-temperature liquid or gas and sends it to the condenser of the heat pump. The refrigerant releases heat and cools in the condenser, heating the water. The cooled refrigerant flows through the expansion valve and is sent to the evaporator of the heat pump. The liquid refrigerant absorbs the heat of the external air in the evaporator and then vaporizes and is sent back to the compressor. In this cycle, the heat in the air is transferred to the water system. In the defrosting operation mode, the flow direction of the refrigerant is opposite to that in normal operation, that is, the compressor compresses the refrigerant into a high-temperature liquid or gas and sends it to the evaporator to melt the frost on the evaporator fins. The refrigerant releases heat and cools. The cooled refrigerant flows through the expansion valve and is sent to the condenser. Since the refrigerant temperature is low at this time, it will absorb the heat in the water system and send it back to the compressor. In this cycle, defrosting is performed. Since the cooler refrigerant sent to the condenser will absorb the heat in the water system, the outlet water temperature of the heat pump will drop. The defrosting process usually lasts for several minutes. After the defrosting is completed, the flow direction of the refrigerant returns to normal, the heat pump resumes heating, and the outlet water temperature of the heat pump rises. The water supply temperature of the water system fluctuates greatly during the defrosting process and the heating resumption process, and the fluctuation lasts for a long time, affecting the user experience.

[0067] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a multi-energy coupling operation control method provided by the present invention. This embodiment can be used to solve the problem that the heat pump enters the defrosting operation mode during the coupled operation of the heat pump and the auxiliary heat source, resulting in large fluctuations in the outlet water temperature. The method can be executed by the multi-energy coupling operation control device provided by the embodiment of the present invention. The device can be implemented by software and / or hardware, and is usually configured in an electronic device, such as Figure 1 As shown, the multi-energy coupling operation control method specifically includes the following steps:

[0068] S101. During the coupled operation of the auxiliary heat source and the heat pump, upon receiving a defrost request from the heat pump, recording the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source as the initial inlet water temperature, and controlling the heat pump to enter a defrost operation mode.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present invention, the heat pump may include a compressor, a four-way valve, a condenser, an expansion valve and an evaporator, the refrigerant outlet of the compressor is connected to the first end of the four-way valve, the second end of the four-way valve is connected to the refrigerant inlet of the condenser, the refrigerant outlet of the condenser is connected to the refrigerant inlet of the evaporator through the expansion valve, the refrigerant outlet of the evaporator is connected to the third end of the four-way valve, and the fourth end of the four-way valve is connected to the refrigerant inlet of the compressor. When the heat pump is operating normally, the four-way valve is in a first state, the compressor compresses the refrigerant into a high-temperature liquid or gas, enters from the first end of the four-way valve, exits from the second end, and is sent to the condenser, the refrigerant releases heat and cools in the condenser, heats the water, and the cooled refrigerant is sent to the evaporator after being throttled by the expansion valve, the liquid refrigerant absorbs the heat of the external air in the evaporator and then vaporizes, enters from the third end of the four-way valve, exits from the fourth end, and is sent back to the compressor, and the cycle is repeated to transfer the heat in the air to the water system. The water outlet of the condenser serves as the water supply end of the heat pump, the water inlet of the condenser serves as the water return end of the heat pump, the water inlet end of the auxiliary heat source is connected to the water supply end of the heat pump, the water supply end of the auxiliary heat source is connected to the water-using equipment, the auxiliary heat source can heat the water in the water system, the water-using equipment is connected to the water return end of the heat pump through the water return pipe, and the heat pump and the auxiliary heat source are coupled. Exemplarily, in the embodiment of the present invention, the auxiliary heat source can be a boiler, an electric water heater or other heating equipment, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited here.

[0070] During the operation of the auxiliary heat source and the heat pump coupled, when a defrost request is received from the heat pump, the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source is recorded as the initial inlet water temperature T 0 , taking this moment as the initial moment t 0, and control the heat pump to enter the defrost operation mode. Exemplarily, in an embodiment of the present invention, a temperature sensor can be set on the evaporator to collect the temperature of the evaporator and upload it to the controller. The controller uses the signal that the temperature of the evaporator is continuously lower than the first preset value (for example, 1°C) as a defrost request. In an embodiment of the present invention, when the defrost request is completed, the controller controls the four-way valve to operate and controls the four-way valve to switch from the original first state to the second state. The switching process takes a certain amount of time. After the switching is completed, the heat pump enters the defrost operation mode. In the defrost operation mode, the compressor compresses the refrigerant into a high-temperature liquid or gas, enters from the first end of the four-way valve, exits from the third end, and is sent to the evaporator to melt the frost on the evaporator fins. The refrigerant releases heat and cools. The cooled refrigerant is sent to the condenser after being throttled by the expansion valve. Since the refrigerant temperature is low at this time, it will absorb the heat in the water system. The refrigerant after absorbing heat enters from the second end of the four-way valve, exits from the fourth end, and is sent back to the compressor. This cycle is repeated for defrosting.

[0071] S102. When a signal indicating that the heat pump enters a defrost operation mode is received, the water inlet temperature of the auxiliary heat source is recorded as the first water inlet temperature, and the time when the signal indicating that the heat pump enters the defrost operation mode is received is taken as the first collection time.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the heat pump enters the defrost operation mode, it sends a signal to the controller that the heat pump enters the defrost operation mode. When the controller receives the signal that the heat pump enters the defrost operation mode, it records the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source as the first inlet water temperature T 1 The first acquisition time t is the time when the heat pump enters the defrosting operation mode. 1 For example, in an embodiment of the present invention, after the four-way valve is successfully switched from the first state to the second state, a feedback signal may be sent to the controller, and the controller may use the feedback signal as a signal for the heat pump to enter the defrost operation mode.

[0073] S103: Calculate a first load that needs to be increased by the auxiliary heat source at the first collection time based on the temperature difference between the initial water inlet temperature and the first water inlet temperature.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present invention, the initial water inlet temperature T is calculated. 0 and the first inlet water temperature T 1 The temperature difference is based on the initial water inlet temperature T 0 and the first inlet water temperature T 1 The temperature difference is calculated to calculate the auxiliary heat source at the first acquisition time t 1 The first load A1 needs to be increased.

[0075] Exemplarily, in some embodiments of the present invention, the auxiliary heat source is at the first collection time t 1 The calculation formula for the first load A1 that needs to be increased is:

[0076]

[0077] Among them, A1 is the auxiliary heat source at the first collection time t 1 The first load that needs to be increased, a is an empirical value ranging from 1 to 3, T 0 is the initial water inlet temperature, T 1 is the first inlet water temperature, ΔT is the temperature difference between the supply water temperature and the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source at maximum load, and P is the maximum load of the auxiliary heat source.

[0078] S104. At the first collection moment, increase the first load based on the current load of the auxiliary heat source.

[0079] At the first acquisition time t 1 When the auxiliary heat source current load P 1 On this basis, the first load A1 is increased.

[0080] The heat pump starts to switch the four-way valve and stops supplying heat to the water system. Therefore, the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source changes from the initial time t 0 The temperature starts to drop. The present invention increases the load of the auxiliary heat source at the first acquisition moment when the heat pump enters the defrost operation mode, thereby increasing the heating value of the auxiliary heat source and making up for the heat shortage caused by the heat pump stopping heating. This can reduce the fluctuation range of the water supply temperature of the water system and improve the user experience.

[0081] S105. When the heat pump is in the defrosting operation mode, continuously collect the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source, and determine the minimum inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source and the collection time of the minimum inlet water temperature.

[0082] When the heat pump is in defrosting mode, the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source is continuously collected, and the minimum inlet water temperature T of the auxiliary heat source is determined. min And the collection time t of the lowest inlet water temperature min .

[0083] Figure 2 A flowchart for determining the minimum water inlet temperature of an auxiliary heat source and the acquisition time of the minimum water inlet temperature provided by the present invention is exemplified as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the process of determining the minimum water inlet temperature of the auxiliary heat source and the collection time of the minimum water inlet temperature is as follows:

[0087] The inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source collected at the i-th collection moment is obtained as the target temperature, where i is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2.

[0088] S1053: Determine whether the target temperature is lower than the reference temperature.

[0089] Determine whether the target temperature is less than the reference temperature. If so, execute S1054; if not, execute

[0090] S1054: Use the target temperature as a reference temperature.

[0091] If the target temperature is less than the reference temperature, the target temperature is used as the reference temperature, that is, the value of the reference temperature is updated.

[0092] S1055. Obtain the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source collected at the (i+1)th collection time as the target temperature.

[0093] After the reference temperature value is updated, the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source collected at the (i+1)th collection moment is obtained as the target temperature, and the process returns to the step of determining whether the target temperature is less than the reference temperature.

[0094] S1056. The inlet water temperature collected at the i-1th collection time is used as the minimum inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source, and the i-1th collection time is used as the collection time of the minimum inlet water temperature.

[0095] If the target temperature is not less than the reference temperature, the inlet water temperature collected at the i-1th collection time is used as the minimum inlet water temperature T of the auxiliary heat source. min , take the i-1th collection time as the collection time t of the lowest inlet water temperature min .

[0096] It should be noted that in other embodiments of the present invention, other methods may also be used to determine the minimum inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source and the collection time of the minimum inlet water temperature, for example, a sliding window method, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0097] S106. Based on the temperature difference between the initial water inlet temperature and the lowest water inlet temperature, calculate the second load that needs to be added to the auxiliary heat source at the time of collecting the lowest water inlet temperature.

[0098] In determining the minimum inlet water temperature T of the auxiliary heat source min Afterwards, based on the initial water inlet temperature T 0 and minimum water inlet temperature T min The temperature difference is calculated to calculate the auxiliary heat source at the collection time t of the lowest inlet water temperature. minA second load A2 needs to be added.

[0099] Exemplarily, in some embodiments of the present invention, the auxiliary heat source is collected at the lowest water inlet temperature time t min The calculation formula for the second load A2 that needs to be added is as follows:

[0100]

[0101] Among them, A2 is the collection time t of the auxiliary heat source at the lowest inlet water temperature min The second load that needs to be added, T 0 is the initial water inlet temperature, T min is the minimum inlet water temperature, ΔT is the temperature difference between the supply water temperature and the inlet water temperature when the auxiliary heat source is at maximum load, P is the maximum load of the auxiliary heat source, and A1 is the first load.

The collection time t of the lowest water inlet temperature of the auxiliary heat source during the defrosting operation mode of the present invention min , increase the load of the auxiliary heat source, improve the calorific value of the auxiliary heat source, make up for the heat shortage caused by the heat pump stopping heating, reduce the fluctuation range of the water supply temperature of the water system, and improve user experience.

[0104] The multi-energy coupling operation control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, during the coupled operation of the auxiliary heat source and the heat pump, when a defrost request of the heat pump is received, the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source is recorded as the initial inlet water temperature, and the heat pump is controlled to enter the defrost operation mode; when a signal of the heat pump entering the defrost operation mode is received, the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source is recorded as the first inlet water temperature, and the time when the signal of the heat pump entering the defrost operation mode is received is taken as the first collection moment; based on the temperature difference between the initial inlet water temperature and the first inlet water temperature, the first load that needs to be increased by the auxiliary heat source at the first collection moment is calculated; at the first collection moment, the first load is increased on the basis of the current load of the auxiliary heat source; since when the heat pump enters the defrost operation mode, the heat pump When the heating is stopped and defrosting has not yet started, the heat loss caused by the heat pump not supplying heat can be calculated. Therefore, the load of the auxiliary heat source can be accurately adjusted at the first collection time, thereby avoiding the situation in the prior art where the auxiliary heat source load is repeatedly adjusted during the heat pump stopping the heating, resulting in large fluctuations in the outlet water temperature; and the present application continuously collects the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source when the heat pump is in the defrost operation mode, determines the minimum inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source and the collection time of the minimum inlet water temperature, calculates the second load that needs to be added to the auxiliary heat source at the collection time of the minimum inlet water temperature based on the temperature difference between the initial inlet water temperature and the minimum inlet water temperature, and increases the second load on the basis of the current load of the auxiliary heat source at the collection time of the minimum inlet water temperature at the collection time of the minimum inlet water temperature. Since the heat pump continuously absorbs heat during the defrosting process, and the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source will first decrease and then increase during the entire defrosting process, when the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source reaches the lowest, adding a second load to the current load of the auxiliary heat source can compensate for the heat loss during the defrosting process of the heat pump to the greatest extent, thereby avoiding repeated adjustment of the auxiliary heat source load during the defrosting process to cause large fluctuations in the outlet water temperature, thereby improving the user experience.

[0105] Figure 3 Flow chart of another multi-energy coupling operation control method provided by the present invention. This embodiment is further improved on the basis of the previous embodiment, and focuses on describing the control process after the acquisition moment of the minimum inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source during the defrosting operation mode. For the parts that are the same as those in the previous embodiment, this embodiment will not be described in detail. Figure 3 As shown, the multi-energy coupling operation control method specifically includes the following steps:

[0106] S201. During the coupled operation of the auxiliary heat source and the heat pump, upon receiving a defrost request from the heat pump, the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source is recorded as the initial inlet water temperature, and the heat pump is controlled to enter a defrost operation mode.

[0107] S202. When a signal indicating that the heat pump enters a defrost operation mode is received, the water inlet temperature of the auxiliary heat source is recorded as the first water inlet temperature, and the time when the signal indicating that the heat pump enters the defrost operation mode is received is taken as the first collection time.

[0108] S203: Calculate a first load that needs to be increased by the auxiliary heat source at the first collection time based on the temperature difference between the initial water inlet temperature and the first water inlet temperature.

[0109] S204: At the first collection moment, increase the first load based on the current load of the auxiliary heat source.

[0110] S205. When the heat pump is in the defrosting operation mode, continuously collect the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source, and determine the minimum inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source and the collection time of the minimum inlet water temperature.

[0111] S206. Based on the temperature difference between the initial water inlet temperature and the minimum water inlet temperature, calculate the second load that needs to be added to the auxiliary heat source at the time of collecting the minimum water inlet temperature.

[0112] S207. At the time of collecting the lowest inlet water temperature, a second load is added based on the current load of the auxiliary heat source.

[0113] S208. When receiving the defrost end signal of the heat pump, record the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source as the second inlet water temperature, and take the time when the defrost end signal of the heat pump is received as the second collection time.

[0114] In an embodiment of the present invention, the defrost end signal may be a time signal. For example, the timing starts when the heat pump enters the defrost operation mode, and the time signal after the first preset time period is used as the defrost end signal of the heat pump. In other embodiments of the present invention, the defrost end signal may also be a temperature signal of the evaporator. For example, the signal that the temperature of the evaporator is continuously higher than the second preset value (for example, 10°C) is used as the defrost end signal. When the defrost end signal of the heat pump is received, the four-way valve is controlled to switch from the second state to the first state again, and the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source is recorded as the second inlet water temperature T 2 , and the time when the defrost end signal of the heat pump is received is taken as the second collection time t 2 .

[0115] S209: Calculate a third load that needs to be reduced by the auxiliary heat source at the second collection time based on the temperature difference between the second inlet water temperature and the lowest inlet water temperature.

[0116] In the embodiment of the present invention, the second water inlet temperature T is calculated 2 and minimum water inlet temperature T min The temperature difference is based on the second water inlet temperature T 2 and minimum water inlet temperature T min The temperature difference is calculated to calculate the auxiliary heat source at the second acquisition time t 2 The third load A3 needs to be reduced.

[0117] Exemplarily, in some embodiments of the present invention, the auxiliary heat source at the second collection time t 2 The calculation formula of the third load A3 that needs to be reduced is as follows:

[0118]

[0119] Among them, A3 is the auxiliary heat source at the second collection time t 2 The third load that needs to be reduced, T 2 is the second inlet water temperature, T min is the minimum inlet water temperature, ΔT is the temperature difference between the supply water temperature and the inlet water temperature when the auxiliary heat source is at maximum load, and P is the maximum load of the auxiliary heat source.

[0120] When the defrost end signal from the heat pump is received, the four-way valve is controlled to switch from the second state to the first state again. The heat pump has finished absorbing heat and is ready to supply heat to the water system. The water supply temperature of the water system begins to rise. In order to avoid the delay in load regulation that causes the water supply temperature of the water system to be too high, it is necessary to reduce the load of the auxiliary heat source at this time, thereby reducing the fluctuation range of the water supply temperature of the water system and improving the user experience.

[0121] S210, at the second collection time t 2 , reduce the third load A3 based on the current load of the auxiliary heat source.

[0122] S211. When a signal indicating that the heat pump is operating stably is received, the water inlet temperature of the auxiliary heat source is recorded as a third water inlet temperature, and the time when the signal indicating that the heat pump is operating stably is received is taken as a third collection time.

[0123] In the embodiment of the present invention, the signal of the stable operation of the heat pump can be a time signal. For example, the time is counted from the time when the defrosting end signal of the heat pump is received, and the time signal after the second preset time period is used as the signal of the stable operation of the heat pump. When the signal of the stable operation of the heat pump is received, the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source is recorded as the third inlet water temperature T 3 The third acquisition time t is the time when the signal of stable operation of the heat pump is received. 3 .

[0124] S212: Calculate a fourth load that needs to be reduced by the auxiliary heat source at the third collection time based on the temperature difference between the third inlet water temperature and the second inlet water temperature.

[0125] In the embodiment of the present invention, the third water inlet temperature T is calculated. 3 and the second inlet water temperature T 2 The temperature difference is based on the third water inlet temperature T 3 and the second inlet water temperature T 2 The temperature difference is calculated to calculate the auxiliary heat source at the third acquisition time t 3The fourth load A4 needs to be reduced.

[0126]

[0127] Wherein, A4 is the fourth load that the auxiliary heat source needs to reduce at the third collection time, T 3 is the third water inlet temperature, T 2 is the second inlet water temperature, ΔT is the temperature difference between the supply water temperature and the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source at maximum load, and P is the maximum load of the auxiliary heat source.

[0128] After the heat pump runs stably, the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source will rise rapidly. In order to avoid the delay in load regulation causing the water supply temperature of the water system to be too high, it is necessary to further reduce the load of the auxiliary heat source at this time, thereby reducing the fluctuation range of the water supply temperature of the water system and improving user experience.

[0129] S213. At the third collection time, reduce the fourth load based on the current load of the auxiliary heat source.

[0130] At the third acquisition time t 3 , reducing the fourth load A4 based on the current load of the auxiliary heat source.

[0131] In the above embodiment of the present invention, when the auxiliary heat source is running at the maximum load, the difference ΔT between the water supply temperature and the water inlet temperature of the auxiliary heat source is calculated, and ΔT is continuously refreshed. Taking the auxiliary heat source as a boiler as an example, due to the long-term operation of the boiler, the air filter will be blocked and the burner will have carbon deposits, causing the boiler load to decrease. In addition, the water flow rate of the water system may change. According to the calculation formula of the specific heat capacity of water, the change in water flow rate will cause the change in ΔT, which will affect the accuracy of the subsequent calculation of the load that needs to be increased or decreased. Therefore, it is necessary to refresh the boiler's ΔT regularly. Exemplarily, in some embodiments of the present invention, the refresh process of ΔT is as follows:

[0132] S1. Determine whether the auxiliary heat source is at maximum load.

[0133] During the operation of the auxiliary heat source, it is determined whether the auxiliary heat source is at the maximum load. If so, step S2 is executed; if not, step S1 is continued.

[0134] S2. Record the water supply temperature and water inlet temperature of the auxiliary heat source.

[0135] If the auxiliary heat source is at maximum load, record the water supply temperature and water inlet temperature of the auxiliary heat source.

[0136] S3. Calculate the temperature difference between the supply water temperature and the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source at maximum load.

[0137] Calculate the temperature difference between the supply water temperature and the inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source at the maximum load, and return to execute step S1.

[0138] Figure 4 The load curve diagram before and after the auxiliary heat source load optimization is shown in Figure 2. Figure 5 The curve diagram of the water supply temperature of the water system before and after optimization for the auxiliary heat source load is shown in Figure 2. Figure 4 , 5 As shown, before the load optimization provided by the present invention is adopted, most of the existing solutions are: the load of the auxiliary heat source is adjusted according to the water supply temperature and the water inlet temperature of the auxiliary heat source. The water supply temperature of the auxiliary heat source has a hysteresis, so the auxiliary heat source will have a large delay in adjusting the water temperature. In addition, the existing solution uses a stepless adjustment method to adjust the load of the auxiliary heat source. After detecting that the water supply temperature exceeds the hysteresis value, the load adjustment is performed, and the water temperature is gradually adjusted by increasing or decreasing by 1% after a period of time. The load adjustment is relatively slow, resulting in a large drop in the water supply temperature of the water system during the heat pump defrosting process, and after the heat pump is frosted, it exceeds the user's set temperature by a lot, and the water temperature fluctuates for a long time.

[0139] The multi-energy coupling operation control method provided by the present invention is used to optimize the load. At the first acquisition time t when the heat pump enters the defrosting operation mode, 1 , can accurately adjust the load of the auxiliary heat source, thereby avoiding the situation in the prior art where the auxiliary heat source load is repeatedly adjusted during the heat pump stops supplying heat, resulting in large fluctuations in the outlet water temperature. The collection time t of the lowest inlet water temperature of the auxiliary heat source during the heat pump defrosting operation mode min Increasing the load of the auxiliary heat source and improving the heating value of the auxiliary heat source can make up for the heat shortage caused by the heat pump stopping heating to the greatest extent, thereby avoiding the situation where the auxiliary heat source load is repeatedly adjusted during the defrosting process, which causes large fluctuations in the outlet water temperature and improves the user experience. 2 and the third acquisition time t when the signal of stable operation of the heat pump is received 2 Reducing the load of the auxiliary heat source separately can avoid the problem of excessively high water supply temperature of the water system caused by the delay in load regulation, thereby reducing the fluctuation range of the water supply temperature of the water system and improving user experience.
