In the case that the evaporator coil temperature is greater than the first preset temperature, the evaporator coil temperature is compared with the second preset temperature, and in the case that the evaporator coil temperature is greater than the first preset temperature and less than or equal to the second preset temperature, the first valve body and the second valve body are controlled to be opened, so that the heat exchange device can store the heat generated by the driving mechanism in the phase change material, and since the evaporator coil temperature is high, the second refrigerant no longer passes through the heat exchange branch, but directly enters the evaporator, so that the air conditioner can still ensure the heating effect of the air conditioner in the case of frequency reduction operation. When the evaporator coil temperature is greater than the second preset temperature, the evaporator temperature is high, the second valve body and the first valve body are controlled to be closed, and the air conditioner is normally operated and has good heating effect.

In the case that the evaporator coil temperature is greater than the first preset temperature, the evaporator coil temperature is compared with the second preset temperature, and in the case that the evaporator coil temperature is greater than the first preset temperature and less than or equal to the second preset temperature, the first valve body and the second valve body are controlled to be opened, so that the heat exchange device can store the heat generated by the driving mechanism in the phase change material, and since the evaporator coil temperature is high, the second refrigerant no longer passes through the heat exchange branch, but directly enters the evaporator, so that the air conditioner can still ensure the heating effect of the air conditioner in the case of frequency reduction operation. When the evaporator coil temperature is greater than the second preset temperature, the evaporator temperature is high, the second valve body and the first valve body are controlled to be closed, and the air conditioner is normally operated and has good heating effect.

When the duration is greater than or equal to a preset time, the first valve body is controlled to be closed, and the second valve body is controlled to remain in the original operating state. In this way, the heat exchange device can store the heat generated by the driving mechanism in the phase change material, and the second refrigerant no longer passes through the heat exchange branch but directly enters the evaporator due to the high evaporator coil temperature, so that the air conditioner can still guarantee the heating effect in the case of frequency reduction operation.

[0122] Further, when the evaporator coil temperature is less than or equal to the first preset temperature, the first valve body at the inlet side of the evaporator is controlled to be opened, and the second valve body and the first valve body on the heat exchange branch are controlled to be closed. Then, the evaporator coil temperature is continuously acquired, and a comparison is made between the evaporator coil temperature and the second preset temperature. When the evaporator coil temperature is greater than the second preset temperature, the duration for which the evaporator coil temperature is greater than the second preset temperature is acquired. When the duration is greater than or equal to a preset time, the first valve body is controlled to be closed, and the second valve body is controlled to remain in the original operating state.

[0134] In the application, the heat exchange device is arranged on the driving mechanism, the heat storage device 7 is provided with a phase change material and a heat storage channel and a heat exchange channel which are not communicated with each other, the heat storage channel and the heat exchange device form a heat storage loop 8, so that the first refrigerant in the heat exchange device can exchange heat with the first refrigerant in the heat storage channel, and the heat generated by the driving mechanism can be stored in the phase change material. Both ends of the heat exchange channel are arranged on the inlet side of the evaporator 1, thereby forming a heat exchange branch 9, so that the second refrigerant enters the heat exchange branch 9 before entering the evaporator 1, the second refrigerant in the heat exchange branch 9 can absorb the heat released by the phase change material, increase the temperature of the second refrigerant, thereby increasing the evaporation temperature of the evaporator 1, and further increasing the outlet air temperature of the indoor unit, so that the air conditioner can still ensure the heating effect of the air conditioner in the case of frequency reduction operation.

[0135] Further reference will be made below Figure 1 A preferred embodiment of the air conditioner system of the application is introduced. Those skilled in the art can understand that the following embodiments are only used to illustrate the principles of the application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the application. Under the premise of meeting the air conditioner system comprising at least an evaporator 1, a driving mechanism, a heat exchange device and a heat storage device 7, those skilled in the art can adjust the following arrangement to adapt the application to more specific application scenarios.

[0136] Referring to Figure 1 , the air conditioner system comprises an evaporator 1, a motor 6, a heat exchange device, a heat storage device 7, an electronic expansion valve 4, a condenser 3, a four-way valve 5 and a compressor 2.

[0137] Next, refer to Figure 1, evaporator 1, electronic expansion valve 4, first electromagnetic valve 91, condenser 3, four-way valve 5 and compressor 2 form a refrigerant circulation loop. Among them, the four-way valve 5 has a terminal, b terminal, c terminal and d terminal. The evaporator 1 inlet side is provided with a first electromagnetic valve 91. The flow path of the second refrigerant in the refrigerant circulation loop is compressor 2→four-way valve 5 a terminal→four-way valve 5 d terminal→first electromagnetic valve 91→evaporator 1→electronic expansion valve 4→condenser 3→evaporator 1→four-way valve 5 b terminal→electronic expansion valve 4 c terminal→compressor 2, which can meet the heating demand of the air conditioning system.

[0138] Of course, the specific form of the first valve body at the inlet side of the evaporator 1 is not fixed in the present application, and those skilled in the art can adjust it according to the setting needs. For example, the first valve body can also be a first electric valve. It should be noted that the setting of the first valve body at the inlet side of the evaporator 1 is not necessary, and those skilled in the art can choose according to the setting needs. When the first valve body is not set at the inlet side of the evaporator 1, the flow path of the second refrigerant in the refrigerant circulation loop is compressor 2→electronic expansion valve 4 a terminal→four-way valve 5 d terminal→evaporator 1→electronic expansion valve 4→condenser 3→evaporator 1→four-way valve 5 b terminal→electronic expansion valve 4 c terminal→compressor 2.

[0139] Next, referring to Figure 1 , the heat storage device 7 comprises a device body, the device body is provided with a heat storage channel, a heat exchange channel and a phase change material, and the outer side of the heat storage channel and the heat exchange channel is filled with the phase change material. Among them, the heat storage channel and the heat exchange channel are double helix structure, the outer side of the device body is wrapped with heat preservation material, and the inner side of the device body is provided with heat conducting material.

[0140] Of course, the setting form of the heat storage channel and the heat exchange channel is not fixed in the present application, and those skilled in the art can adjust it according to the setting needs. For example, the heat storage channel and the heat exchange channel can be arranged side by side. It should be noted that the material of the heat storage channel and the heat exchange channel has no limitation, as long as the first refrigerant in the heat storage channel and the second refrigerant in the heat exchange channel can exchange heat with the phase change material. For example, the material of the heat storage channel and the heat exchange channel can be copper.

[0141] Next, referring to Figure 1The air conditioning system of the present application comprises, in addition to the evaporator 1, the electronic expansion valve 4, the condenser 3, the four-way valve 5 and the compressor 2 forming a refrigerant circulation loop, a heat exchange branch 9 and a heat storage loop 8. The heat exchange branch 9 is provided with a heat exchange channel. The heat storage loop 8 is provided with a heat storage channel, a heat exchange device and a second electromagnetic valve 81. The heat exchange device is arranged on the driving mechanism and can absorb the heat generated by the driving mechanism and store the heat in the phase change material. The second refrigerant in the heat exchange channel can absorb the heat released by the phase change material, thereby heating the second refrigerant in the heat exchange channel, increasing the temperature of the second refrigerant, thereby increasing the evaporation temperature of the evaporator 1, and further increasing the outlet air temperature of the indoor unit, so that the air conditioner can still ensure the heating effect under the condition of frequency reduction operation.

[0142] Of course, the specific form of the second valve body is not fixed, and those skilled in the art can adjust it according to the setting needs. For example, the second valve body can also be a second electric valve.

[0143] Next, referring to Figure 1 The inlet side of the first electromagnetic valve 91 arranged at the inlet side of the evaporator 1 is in communication with the first end of the heat exchange branch 9, and the outlet side of the first electromagnetic valve 91 is in communication with the second end of the heat exchange branch 9, so as to form the heat exchange branch 9, which is provided with a heat exchange channel. By opening or closing the first electromagnetic valve 91, the flow path of the second refrigerant can be changed. When the first electromagnetic valve 91 is closed, the flow path of the second refrigerant is d end of the four-way valve 5→ heat exchange channel→ evaporator 1, and the second refrigerant flowing out of the compressor 2 enters the evaporator 1 after passing through the heat exchange branch 9. When the second refrigerant flows through the heat exchange branch 9, the second refrigerant in the heat exchange channel can absorb the heat released by the phase change material, thereby increasing the temperature of the second refrigerant, thereby increasing the evaporation temperature of the evaporator 1, and further increasing the outlet air temperature of the indoor unit, so that the air conditioner can still ensure the heating effect under the condition of frequency reduction operation. When the first electromagnetic valve 91 is opened, the flow path of the second refrigerant is d end of the four-way valve 5→ merging part→ evaporator 1, wherein the merging part is the part where the second refrigerant flowing out of the d end of the four-way valve 5 merges after passing through the heat exchange branch 9 and the first electromagnetic valve 91.

[0144] Of course, the application of the first electromagnetic valve 91 is not fixed, and those skilled in the art can change it according to the setting needs. For example, the first electromagnetic valve 91 can also be arranged on the heat exchange branch 9. Alternatively, the first electromagnetic valve 91 is arranged on the heat exchange branch 9. When the first electromagnetic valve 91 is opened, the second refrigerant flow path is four-way valve 5 d end→first electromagnetic valve 91→heat exchange channel→evaporator 1. When the first electromagnetic valve 91 is closed, the second refrigerant flow path is four-way valve 5 d end→evaporator 1. When the first electromagnetic valve 91 is arranged on the heat exchange branch 9, when the first electromagnetic valve 91 on the heat exchange branch 9 is opened and the second electromagnetic valve 81 on the inlet side of the evaporator 1 is closed, the second refrigerant flow path is four-way valve 5 d end→heat exchange channel→evaporator 1. When the first electromagnetic valve 91 on the heat exchange branch 9 is closed and the second electromagnetic valve 81 on the inlet side of the evaporator 1 is opened, the second refrigerant flow path is four-way valve 5 d end→first electromagnetic valve 91 on the inlet side of the evaporator 1→heat exchange channel→evaporator 1. In addition, when the first electromagnetic valve 91 is arranged on the heat exchange branch 9, the number of the first electromagnetic valve 91 can also be 2, that is, in addition to the second electromagnetic valve 81 arranged on the pipeline communicating the outlet end of the heat exchange channel with the outlet side of the first electromagnetic valve 91, the second electromagnetic valve 81 can also be arranged on the pipeline communicating the inlet end of the heat exchange channel with the inlet side of the first electromagnetic valve 91.

[0145] Next, referring to Figure 1 The heat exchange device comprises a heat exchange pipe arranged on the outer wall of the motor 6, the first end of the heat exchange pipe communicates with the first end of the heat storage channel, and the second end of the heat exchange pipe communicates with the second end of the heat storage channel. The second electromagnetic valve 81 is arranged on the pipeline communicating the first end of the heat exchange pipe with the first end of the heat storage channel. When the second electromagnetic valve 81 is opened, the first refrigerant in the heat storage channel and the first refrigerant in the heat exchange pipe can exchange heat, so that the temperature of the first refrigerant in the heat storage channel increases, and the phase change material exchanges heat with the second refrigerant through the heat storage channel, so that the phase change material can store the heat generated by the driving mechanism.

[0146] Of course, the number of the second electromagnetic valve 81 is not fixed, and those skilled in the art can adjust it according to the setting needs. For example, the number of the second electromagnetic valve 81 can be 2, that is, in addition to the second electromagnetic valve 81 arranged on the pipeline communicating the first end of the heat exchange pipe with the first end of the heat storage channel, the second electromagnetic valve 81 can also be arranged on the pipeline communicating the second end of the heat exchange pipe with the second end of the heat storage channel.

[0147] It should be noted that the material of the heat exchange pipe is not limited in the present application, as long as the first refrigerant in the heat exchange pipe is beneficial to absorbing the heat generated by the motor 6. For example, the material of the heat exchange pipe can be copper. In addition, the first refrigerant and the second refrigerant are not limited in the present application, as long as they are beneficial to heat exchange. For example, the first refrigerant can be water, and the second refrigerant can be freon. The driving mechanism of the present application is used to drive the fan in the indoor unit to rotate.

[0148] Next, the control method of the air conditioning system of the present application is introduced. Among them, Figure 2 is a flow chart of the control method of the air conditioning system of the present application. The first valve body is taken as an example to introduce the first electromagnetic valve 91, and the second valve body is taken as an example to introduce the second electromagnetic valve 81.

[0149] The present application provides a control method of an air conditioning system, which is the air conditioning system of any specific embodiment described above. The control method comprises:

[0150] S91, when the air conditioner is running, the evaporator coil temperature Tm is obtained. For example, a temperature sensor can be arranged on the evaporator 1 coil to obtain the evaporator coil temperature through the temperature sensor.

[0151] S102, compare the evaporator coil temperature Tm with the first preset temperature T1. For example, after obtaining the evaporator 1 coil temperature, the difference between the evaporator 1 coil temperature and the first preset temperature is compared to determine whether it is greater than 0, or the ratio between the two is compared to determine whether it is greater than 1.

[0152] S103, according to the comparison result, selectively control the opening or closing of the second electromagnetic valve 81 and the first electromagnetic valve 91. For example, after obtaining the comparison result of the evaporator 1 coil temperature and the first preset temperature, the second electromagnetic valve 81 and the first electromagnetic valve 91 are selectively controlled to open or close, so that the phase change material can store the heat generated by the driving mechanism through the heat storage circuit 8, and the second refrigerant can enter the heat exchange branch 9 and exchange heat with the phase change material, thereby increasing the evaporation temperature of the evaporator 1.

[0153] The present application obtains the evaporator coil temperature when the air conditioner is running, compares the evaporator coil temperature with the first preset temperature, and selectively controls the opening or closing of the second electromagnetic valve 81 and the first electromagnetic valve 91 according to the comparison result, so that the heat exchange device can store the heat generated by the driving mechanism in the phase change material, and the second refrigerant enters the heat exchange branch 9 before entering the evaporator 1. The second refrigerant in the heat exchange branch 9 can absorb the heat released by the phase change material, increase the temperature of the second refrigerant, thereby increasing the evaporation temperature of the evaporator 1, and further increasing the outlet air temperature of the indoor unit, so that the air conditioner can still ensure the heating effect of the air conditioner under the condition of frequency reduction operation.

[0154] In a specific embodiment, when the control system further comprises a first electromagnetic valve 91, and the first electromagnetic valve 91 is arranged at the inlet side of the evaporator 1, the step of "selectively controlling the second electromagnetic valve 81 and the first electromagnetic valve 91 to open or close according to the comparison result" specifically comprises:

[0155] When Tm≤T1, the first electromagnetic valve 91 is controlled to close, and the second electromagnetic valve 81 is controlled to open;

[0156] When Tm>T1, the evaporator coil temperature T is compared with the second preset temperature T2;

[0157] When T1

[0158] When Tm>T2, the first electromagnetic valve 91 is controlled to open, and the second electromagnetic valve 81 is controlled to close.

[0159] For example, taking 30℃ as the first preset temperature, when Tm≤30℃, it indicates that the evaporator coil temperature is relatively low, at this time, in order to improve the heating effect of the air conditioner, the first electromagnetic valve 91 is controlled to close, and the second electromagnetic valve 81 is controlled to open, so that the first refrigerant in the heat storage passage of the heat storage circuit 8 can exchange heat with the first refrigerant in the heat exchange pipe, and the heat generated by the driving mechanism can be stored in the phase change material. The second refrigerant flowing out of the compressor 2 enters the heat exchange branch 9 completely and exchanges heat with the phase change material, thereby improving the temperature of the second refrigerant and the heating effect of the air conditioner, so that the air conditioner can still ensure the heating effect under the condition of frequency reduction. When Tm>30℃, the evaporator coil temperature is compared with the second preset temperature, when 30℃

[0160] Further, after the step of "when Tm≤T1, the first electromagnetic valve 91 is controlled to close, and the second electromagnetic valve 81 is controlled to open", it further comprises:

[0161] The evaporator coil temperature Tm is continuously acquired;

[0162] The evaporator coil temperature Tm is compared with the second preset temperature T2;

[0163] When Tm>T2, the duration tc that Tm>T2 is acquired;

[0164] Compare the duration tc with the preset time t1.

[0165] When tc≥t1, the first solenoid valve 91 is opened, while the second solenoid valve 81 is kept in its original operating state.

[0166] For example, let's take a first preset temperature T1 of 30℃, a second preset temperature T2 of 35℃, and a preset time t1 of 3 minutes as an example. When Tm ≤ 30℃, the first solenoid valve 91 is closed, and the second solenoid valve 81 is opened, causing the evaporation temperature of evaporator 1 to increase. At this time, the evaporator coil temperature Tm is continuously acquired and compared with the second preset temperature T2. When Tm > 35℃, the duration tc of Tm > 35℃ is acquired. When tc ≥ 3 minutes, it indicates that the evaporator coil temperature is stable and maintains a high temperature. At this time, the first solenoid valve 91 is opened, and the second solenoid valve 81 is kept in its original operating state, so that the phase change material continues to absorb the heat generated by the drive mechanism through the first refrigerant, and the second refrigerant flowing out of compressor 2 no longer enters the heat exchange branch 9, but directly enters the evaporator 1.

[0167] In another alternative embodiment, when the first solenoid valve 91 is installed on the heat exchange branch 9, the step of "selectively controlling the second solenoid valve 81 and the first solenoid valve 91 to open or close according to the comparison result" specifically includes:

[0168] When Tm≤T1, control the second solenoid valve 81 and the first solenoid valve 91 to open;

[0169] When Tm>T1, compare the evaporator coil temperature T with the second preset temperature T2;

[0170] When T1 < Tm ≤ T2, control the first solenoid valve 91 to close and the second solenoid valve 81 to open;

[0171] When Tm>T2, control the first solenoid valve 91 and the second solenoid valve 81 to close.

[0172] For example, taking 30℃ as the first preset temperature. When Tm≤30℃, it indicates that the evaporator coil temperature is relatively low. At this time, in order to improve the heating effect of the air conditioner, the second electromagnetic valve 81 and the first electromagnetic valve 91 are opened, so that the first refrigerant in the heat storage passage of the heat storage circuit 8 can exchange heat with the first refrigerant in the heat exchange pipe, and the heat generated by the driving mechanism can be stored in the phase change material. The second refrigerant flowing out of the compressor 2 enters the heat exchange branch 9 completely, and exchanges heat with the phase change material, thereby improving the temperature of the second refrigerant, and further improving the heating effect of the air conditioner, so that the air conditioner can still guarantee the heating effect of the air conditioner under the condition of frequency reduction. When Tm>30℃, compare the evaporator coil temperature with the second preset temperature, when 30℃

[0173] Further, after the step of "when Tm≤T1, control the second electromagnetic valve 81 and the first electromagnetic valve 91 to open", it further includes:

[0174] Continue to obtain the evaporator coil temperature Tm;

[0175] Compare the evaporator coil temperature Tm with the second preset temperature T2;

[0176] When Tm>T2, obtain the duration tc that Tm>T2;

[0177] Compare the duration tc with the preset time t1,

[0178] When tc≥t1, control the first electromagnetic valve 91 to close, and control the second electromagnetic valve 81 to remain in the original operating state.

[0179] For example, the first preset temperature T1 is 30°C, the second preset temperature T2 is 35°C, and the preset time t1 is 3 minutes. When Tm≤30°C, the second electromagnetic valve 81 and the first electromagnetic valve 91 are controlled to be opened after the evaporator 1 evaporates at a high temperature, and the evaporator coil temperature Tm is continuously obtained. When Tm>35°C, the duration tc of Tm>35°C is obtained. When tc≥3min, it is indicated that the evaporator coil temperature is stable and remains at a high temperature. At this time, the first electromagnetic valve 91 is controlled to be closed, and the second electromagnetic valve 81 is controlled to remain in the original operating state, so that the phase change material continues to absorb the heat generated by the first refrigerant suction driving mechanism, and the second refrigerant flowing out of the compressor 2 no longer enters the heat exchange branch 9, but directly enters the evaporator 1.

[0180] In other alternative embodiments, when the first electromagnetic valve 91 is arranged at the inlet side of the evaporator 1 and the heat exchange branch 9, the step of "selectively controlling the second electromagnetic valve 81 and the first electromagnetic valve 91 to be opened or closed according to the comparison result" specifically includes:

[0181] When Tm≤T1, the first electromagnetic valve 91 at the inlet side of the evaporator 1 is controlled to be closed, and the second electromagnetic valve 81 and the first electromagnetic valve 91 on the heat exchange branch 9 are controlled to be opened;

[0182] When Tm>T1, the evaporator coil temperature Tm and the second preset temperature T2 are compared;

[0183] When T1

[0184] When Tm>T2, the first electromagnetic valve 91 at the inlet side of the evaporator 1 is controlled to be opened, and the second electromagnetic valve 81 and the first electromagnetic valve 91 on the heat exchange branch 9 are controlled to be closed.

[0185] For example, taking 30 °C as the first preset temperature, when Tm≤30 °C, it indicates that the evaporator coil temperature is relatively low, at this time, in order to improve the heating effect of the air conditioner, the first electromagnetic valve 91 at the inlet side of the evaporator 1 is controlled to be closed, and the second electromagnetic valve 81 and the first electromagnetic valve 91 on the heat exchange branch 9 are controlled to be opened, so that the first refrigerant in the heat storage channel in the heat storage circuit 8 can exchange heat with the first refrigerant in the heat exchange pipe, and the heat generated by the driving mechanism can be stored in the phase change material. The second refrigerant flowing out of the compressor 2 enters the heat exchange branch 9 completely, and exchanges heat with the phase change material, thereby improving the temperature of the second refrigerant, and further improving the heating effect of the air conditioner, so that the air conditioner can still ensure the heating effect of the air conditioner under the condition of frequency reduction. When Tm>30 °C, compare the evaporator coil temperature with the second preset temperature, when 30 °C

[0186] Further, after the step of "when Tm≤T1, the first electromagnetic valve 91 at the inlet side of the evaporator 1 is controlled to be closed, and the second electromagnetic valve 81 and the first electromagnetic valve 91 on the heat exchange branch 9 are controlled to be opened", further comprising:

[0187] Continue to obtain the evaporator coil temperature Tm;

[0188] Compare the evaporator coil temperature Tm with the second preset temperature T2;

[0189] When Tm>T2, obtain the duration tc that Tm>T2;

[0190] Compare the duration tc with the preset time t1,

[0191] When tc≥t1, the first electromagnetic valve 91 at the inlet side of the evaporator 1 is controlled to be opened, and the second electromagnetic valve 81 and the first electromagnetic valve 91 on the heat exchange branch 9 are controlled to be closed.

[0192] For example, the first preset temperature T1 is 30℃, the second preset temperature T2 is 35℃, and the preset time t1 is 3min. When Tm≤30℃, the first electromagnetic valve 91 at the inlet side of the evaporator 1 is controlled to be closed, and the second electromagnetic valve 81 and the first electromagnetic valve 91 on the heat exchange branch 9 are controlled to be opened, so that the evaporation temperature of the evaporator 1 is increased, and then the evaporator coil temperature Tm is continuously obtained, and the evaporator coil temperature Tm and the second preset temperature T2 are compared. When Tm>35℃, the duration tc of Tm>35℃ is obtained. When tc≥3min, it is indicated that the evaporator coil temperature is stable and maintains a high temperature, and the first electromagnetic valve 91 at the inlet side of the evaporator 1 is controlled to be opened, and the second electromagnetic valve 81 and the first electromagnetic valve 91 on the heat exchange branch 9 are controlled to be closed, so that the phase change material continues to absorb the heat generated by the first refrigerant absorption driving mechanism, and the second refrigerant flowing out of the compressor 2 no longer enters the heat exchange branch 9, but directly enters the evaporator 1.
