[0002] Air source heat pump units consume electricity to transfer low-grade energy from the environment to the user side to produce hot water for heating and domestic hot water use. This can, to some extent, replace traditional coal-fired heating. Since electricity is a clean energy source, using heat pumps is an environmentally friendly heating method. Furthermore, with the continuous advancement of the "coal-to-electricity" policy, the heat pump market is expanding and gradually becoming more widespread.

[0003] In actual use, air source heat pump units often face the problem of slow heating. For example, in cold winter environments, users usually require a higher target temperature, but the water tank temperature is low at this time, resulting in a long heating time and affecting the user experience. Many usage scenarios in life also have the need for rapid hot water production. Therefore, the rapid heating function of heat pumps is particularly important for the promotion of heat pump products and their daily use.

[0061] Considering that air source heat pump units heat up slowly in low-temperature environments, the operating frequency of the compressor is usually adjusted to maintain the unit's low-temperature heating capacity. However, the compressor is prone to shutdown protection issues during rapid frequency increase, which reduces the unit's rapid heating efficiency and reliability.

[0062] To address the above technical problems, this embodiment proposes a rapid heating method for an air-source heat pump unit.

[0066] Control the refrigerant circulation system to operate according to target parameter values;

[0067] The operating parameters include at least one of the following: compressor frequency increase rate, compressor gas supply volume, and compressor suction superheat.

[0068] This embodiment uses the actual water temperature change rate and the target water temperature change rate of the water tank as standards. By combining the set parameter values ​​under the current operating conditions of the unit, the target parameter values ​​of the refrigerant circulation system are determined. This allows for the adjustment of the refrigerant circulation system's operating parameters to meet the target water temperature requirements, achieve rapid heating, and avoid the problem of low heating efficiency and reliability caused by frequent shutdown protection during the compressor's frequency increase process.

[0069] The technical solution of this embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and examples can be combined with each other.

[0070] First, the main body implementing the rapid heating method of the air source heat pump unit in this embodiment will be described in detail.

[0071] The rapid heating method for air source heat pump units in this embodiment is applied to air source heat pump units, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the air source heat pump unit includes a water circulation system and a refrigerant circulation system that are thermally coupled. The water circulation system includes a water tank 1 and a water supply pipeline 2. The air source heat pump unit provides hot water to users through the water tank 1. The water supply pipeline 2 connects the inlet and outlet of the water tank 1 to form a water circulation loop. The refrigerant circulation system includes a compressor 3, a water-side heat exchanger 4, a throttling device, and an air-side heat exchanger 7. The compressor 3, water-side heat exchanger 4, throttling device, and air-side heat exchanger 7 are sequentially connected through a refrigerant pipeline 18 to form a refrigerant circulation loop, and the water supply pipeline 2 is thermally coupled to the water-side heat exchanger 4.

The first temperature sensor 10 is located in the water tank 1 and is used to detect the water temperature inside the water tank 1. The water flow control valve 16 is located in the water supply pipeline 2 and is used to control the opening and closing of the water supply pipeline 2.

[0073] Furthermore, the heat pump system also includes a four-way valve 17, which includes a first interface, a second interface, and a third interface. The first interface is connected to the exhaust port of the compressor 3, the second interface is connected to the water-side heat exchanger 4, the third interface is connected to the air-side heat exchanger 7, and the fourth interface is connected to the first suction port of the compressor 3. The refrigerant line 18 between the fourth interface and the first suction port of the compressor 3 is also equipped with a gas-liquid separator 8. The refrigerant line 18 between the gas-liquid separator 8 and the first suction port of the compressor 3 is also equipped with a low-pressure sensor 9. The refrigerant line 18 between the low-pressure sensor 9 and the first suction port of the compressor 3 is also equipped with a second temperature sensor 11, which is used to detect the suction temperature of the compressor 3. The refrigerant line 18 between the exhaust port of the compressor 3 and the first interface is equipped with a high-pressure sensor 13.

[0074] Furthermore, the heat pump system also includes a flash evaporator 15, which is located in the refrigerant pipeline 18 between the air-side heat exchanger 7 and the water-side heat exchanger 4. The gaseous refrigerant outlet of the flash evaporator 15 is connected to the second suction port of the compressor 3. An enthalpy injection valve 14 is also provided between the gaseous refrigerant outlet of the flash evaporator 15 and the second suction port of the compressor 3. A medium pressure sensor 12 is also provided in the refrigerant pipeline 18 between the enthalpy injection valve 14 and the second suction port of the compressor 3.

[0075] Furthermore, the throttling device includes a first electronic expansion valve 5 and a second electronic expansion valve 6.

[0076] The rapid heating method of the air source heat pump unit in this embodiment will be described in detail below.

[0077] like Figure 2 The flowchart shown illustrates the rapid heating method for an air-source heat pump unit in this embodiment, which includes the following steps:

[0078] S21. Obtain the actual water temperature of the water tank in the water circulation system and determine the rate of change of the actual water temperature with the heating time.

[0079] Specifically, the combination Figure 5 The flowchart shows that after the unit is started up and running, the user sets the target water temperature T. a Then select the rapid heating mode. The first temperature sensor detects the current actual water temperature T in the water tank. s1The control device records the change in water tank temperature with heating time t. The water tank temperature T1 satisfies the formula: T1 = f(t). The actual rate of change of water tank temperature with heating time t satisfies the formula:

[0080]

[0081] S22. Determine the rate of change of the target water temperature based on the actual water temperature and the target water temperature.

[0082] Specifically, the rate of change of the target water temperature is determined based on the actual water temperature and the target water temperature, including:

[0083] The target water temperature change rate is a function of the actual water temperature and the target water temperature; wherein: under the same actual water temperature conditions, the higher the target water temperature, the greater the target water temperature change rate; under the same target water temperature conditions, the higher the actual water temperature, the smaller the target water temperature change rate. For example, the target water temperature change rate satisfies the following formula: T' a1 =K1(T a -T s1 );

[0084] Where: T' a1 The target water temperature change rate; K1 is the first proportionality coefficient, and K1 < 1; T a For the target water temperature, T s1 This is the actual water temperature.

[0085] S23. Determine the target parameter values ​​of the refrigerant circulation system based on the set parameter values ​​under the current operating conditions, and according to the actual water temperature change rate, the target water temperature change rate, and the set parameter values.

[0086] Specifically, the target parameter value of the operating parameters is determined based on the actual water temperature change rate, the target water temperature change rate, and the set parameter value. This includes: the target parameter value is a function of the actual water temperature change rate, the target water temperature change rate, and the set parameter value.

[0087] Among them, under the same actual water temperature change rate and target water temperature change rate, the larger the set parameter value, the larger the target parameter value.

[0088] Under the same actual water temperature change rate and set parameter value, the greater the target water temperature change rate, the larger the target parameter value; under the same target water temperature change rate and set parameter value, the greater the actual water temperature change rate, the smaller the target parameter value.

[0089] For example, the target parameter value satisfies the following formula:

[0090] Where: M aK1 represents the target parameter value of the refrigerant circulation system; K2 is the second proportional coefficient related to the operating parameters of the refrigerant circulation system, and K2 < 1; M s The operating parameters of the refrigerant circulation system are set based on the current operating conditions; T' a1 T'1 represents the target water temperature change rate.

[0091] S24. Control the operation of the refrigerant circulation system according to the target parameter values;

[0092] Specifically, the operating parameters include at least one of the following: compressor frequency increase rate, compressor gas supply volume, and compressor suction superheat.

[0093] In one example, when the operating parameters include the compressor boost rate, the compressor is controlled to boost at a determined boost rate.

[0094] In one example, such as Figure 3 The flowchart shown illustrates how, with operating parameters including compressor gas supply, the refrigerant circulation system is controlled according to target parameter values, comprising the following steps:

[0095] S31. Obtain the compressor's suction pressure, replenishment pressure, and discharge pressure;

[0096] S32. Determine the actual gas supply pressure ratio of the compressor based on the suction pressure, gas supply pressure, and discharge pressure, wherein the greater the actual gas supply pressure ratio of the compressor, the greater the gas supply volume of the compressor;

[0097] S33. When the actual gas supply pressure ratio of the compressor is greater than the target gas supply pressure ratio of the compressor, reduce the opening of the first electronic expansion valve; when the actual gas supply pressure ratio of the compressor is less than the target gas supply pressure ratio of the compressor, increase the opening of the first electronic expansion valve; when the actual gas supply pressure ratio of the compressor is equal to the target gas supply pressure ratio of the compressor, maintain the current opening of the first electronic expansion valve.

[0098] Specifically, the combination Figure 5 The flowchart shows that the compressor's refrigerant suction pressure, injection pressure, and discharge pressure are measured by low-pressure, medium-pressure, and high-pressure sensors, respectively. The actual injection pressure ratio of the compressor is determined based on the suction pressure, injection pressure, and discharge pressure, and the actual injection pressure ratio of the compressor is a function of the suction pressure, injection pressure, and discharge pressure.

[0099] Among them: under the condition that the intake pressure and the replenishment pressure are the same, the greater the exhaust pressure, the smaller the proportion of the actual replenishment pressure; under the condition that the intake pressure and the exhaust pressure are the same, the greater the replenishment pressure, the larger the proportion of the actual replenishment pressure; under the condition that the replenishment pressure and the exhaust pressure are the same, the greater the intake pressure, the smaller the proportion of the actual replenishment pressure.

[0100] For example, the specific gravity of the actual injection pressure of the compressor satisfies the following formula: Where: K m P is the specific gravity of the actual gas supply pressure of the compressor. m P is the compressor's gas supply pressure. h P is the compressor's discharge pressure. l This refers to the compressor's suction pressure.

[0101] It should be noted that the actual injection pressure specific gravity of the compressor cannot be directly determined, K m K is the specific gravity of the actual gas supply pressure of the compressor. m The higher the value, the higher the compressor's gas supply pressure and the greater the gas supply volume. Therefore, through K... m The value reflects the amount of refrigerant supplied to the compressor, while the first electronic expansion valve controls the amount of refrigerant entering the compressor's gas inlet through the flash evaporator. By controlling the opening of the first electronic expansion valve, the actual gas supply pressure of the compressor can be adjusted.

[0102] After determining the actual gas supply pressure ratio of the compressor, compare the actual gas supply pressure ratio with the target gas supply pressure ratio. If the actual gas supply pressure ratio is greater than the target gas supply pressure ratio, decrease the opening of the first electronic expansion valve to reduce the gas supply volume to the compressor. If the actual gas supply pressure ratio is less than the target gas supply pressure ratio, increase the opening of the first electronic expansion valve to increase the gas supply volume to the compressor. If the actual gas supply pressure ratio is equal to the target gas supply pressure ratio, maintain the current opening of the first electronic expansion valve to maintain the gas supply volume to the compressor.

[0103] In one example, such as Figure 4 The flowchart shown illustrates the process of controlling the refrigerant circulation system according to target parameter values, with operating parameters including compressor suction superheat. The steps include:

[0104] S41. Obtain the compressor's suction temperature and suction pressure;

[0105] S42. Determine the saturation temperature corresponding to the inhalation pressure;

[0106] S43. Determine the actual intake superheat of the compressor based on the intake temperature and saturation temperature;

[0107] S44. When the actual suction superheat of the compressor is greater than the target parameter value of the suction superheat of the compressor, increase the opening of the second electronic expansion valve; when the actual suction superheat of the compressor is less than the target parameter value of the suction superheat of the compressor, decrease the opening of the second electronic expansion valve; when the actual suction superheat of the compressor is equal to the target parameter value of the suction superheat of the compressor, maintain the current opening of the second electronic expansion valve.

[0108] Specifically, the combination Figure 5 The flowchart shows that, in order to maintain the reliability of unit operation, the second temperature sensor detects the compressor suction temperature, the low-pressure sensor detects the compressor suction pressure, and the saturation temperature corresponding to the compressor suction pressure is determined. Then, the actual suction superheat of the compressor can be determined based on the compressor suction temperature and the saturation temperature. The actual suction superheat of the compressor = suction temperature - saturation temperature.

[0109] Since the second electronic expansion valve controls the amount of refrigerant on the low-pressure side, the less refrigerant on the low-pressure side, the higher the compressor suction temperature and the higher the compressor suction superheat. Therefore, the suction temperature and suction superheat can be reduced by increasing the opening of the second electronic expansion valve. Conversely, the lower the compressor suction temperature and the lower the compressor suction superheat, the higher the suction temperature can be increased by decreasing the opening of the second electronic expansion valve.

[0110] After determining the actual suction superheat of the compressor, the actual suction superheat is compared with the target parameter value. The opening of the second electronic expansion valve is then adjusted based on the comparison result. If the actual suction superheat is greater than the target parameter value, the opening of the second electronic expansion valve is increased; if the actual suction superheat is less than the target parameter value, the opening is decreased. If the actual suction superheat equals the target parameter value, the current opening of the second electronic expansion valve is maintained.

[0111] In summary, this embodiment sets the required temperature rise per unit time based on the difference between the target water temperature and the actual water temperature in the tank. By recording the temperature change of the tank over time, the temperature rise rate is calculated. Using this as a standard, the required parameters are calculated and adjusted by combining the unit's frequency increase rate, compressor gas supply, and compressor suction superheat under the current operating conditions. Increasing the compressor frequency increase rate and gas supply increases the heating capacity to meet the target water temperature rise requirement, achieving rapid heating. Adjusting the suction superheat improves the unit's operational reliability.

[0112] This application also provides a control device, which includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores a rapid heating method for an air source heat pump unit, and the processor is used to employ the rapid heating method for an air source heat pump unit proposed in the above embodiments when executing the rapid heating method for the air source heat pump unit.

The communication bus 200 is configured to enable communication between these components.
