Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application is a divisional of application number CN2021105835430, and specifically relates to a control method for an air-conditioning system. Background Art

[0002] The air conditioning compressor is the core component of the air conditioning system, and plays the role of compressing and driving the refrigerant in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit. The air conditioning compressor extracts the refrigerant from the low-pressure area, compresses it, and sends it to the high-pressure area for cooling and condensation. The heat is dissipated into the air through the heat sink, and the refrigerant also changes from gas to liquid, and the pressure increases.

[0003] The power of the air conditioner compressor comes from the motor. The output power of the motor is the main factor that determines the working capacity of the compressor. The compression force that the compressor can provide should not be less than the pressure in the air conditioner condenser. The pressure in the air conditioner condenser is not constant, and it is related to many factors such as ambient temperature and refrigerant state. When the condenser pressure is low, the compressor power does not need to be very large; when the condenser pressure is high, the compressor should have a large output power to be able to provide a higher pressure to press the refrigerant into the high-pressure condenser.

[0004] However, in actual applications, due to various reasons, such as when the power supply is relatively small (such as small photovoltaic power supply), or when the space available for placing equipment is very limited, it is not possible to configure the compressor with an ultra-high power motor, which may cause it to fail to work normally and the application scenarios are greatly limited. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to propose a control method for an air-conditioning system, wherein the control method enables the compressor of the air-conditioning system to have a higher instantaneous compression force, thereby facilitating sufficient compression of the refrigerant.

[0006] The technical solution of this application is:

[0007] The present application provides a control method for an air conditioning system, wherein the air conditioning system comprises a compressor and a condenser connected in fluid, wherein the compressor is a diaphragm compressor, and the compressor comprises:

[0008] Refrigerant inlet and outlet,

[0009] a working chamber connected between the inlet and the outlet,

[0010] an inlet valve which is an electrically controlled one-way valve and is disposed between the inlet and the working chamber,

[0011] Power chamber,

[0012] A diaphragm is arranged between the working chamber and the power chamber,

[0013] a flywheel for providing driving force to the diaphragm, and

[0014] A motor providing driving force for the flywheel;

[0015] The control method comprises:

[0016] Obtaining the pressure of the condenser in real time;

[0017] If it is determined that the pressure of the condenser is in the first pressure interval, the suction valve is controlled to be open for an eighth time period every seventh time period.

[0018] In an optional design, if it is determined that the pressure of the condenser is greater than a first pressure threshold, the suction valve is controlled to be continuously opened; wherein the first pressure threshold is greater than an upper limit of the first pressure interval;

[0019] If it is determined that the pressure of the condenser is less than a second pressure threshold, the suction valve is controlled to be continuously closed; wherein the second pressure threshold is less than a lower limit of the first pressure range.

[0020] This application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0021] The diaphragm pump or diaphragm compressor of the present application is equipped with a flywheel connected to the driving path of the motor to the diaphragm and a power fluid storage chamber connected to the power chamber fluid, and a valve is set on the connecting path between the two. During the operation of the motor, the aforementioned valve can be opened and closed alternately according to the set frequency, and then the driving path of the flywheel to the diaphragm can be alternately disconnected and connected at the frequency, so that the flywheel and the diaphragm intermittently work in each cycle time of the aforementioned frequency, and the motor periodically stores energy to the flywheel. Generally, as long as the energy provided by the continuously running motor and the power consumption of the diaphragm that only works in part of the time can be balanced in each cycle time, the diaphragm pump or diaphragm compressor can continue to operate stably and intermittently work at high power, which helps the diaphragm pump or diaphragm compressor to complete some tasks that cannot be completed originally, such as enabling the working fluid to be smoothly transported to the desired location or compressing the working fluid into the desired state.

[0022] 1. The control method of the air conditioning system of the present application controls the diaphragm compressor with the energy storage flywheel to intermittently compress the refrigerant according to the set frequency when the condenser pressure is in the appropriate range, so that the flywheel intermittently performs work and stores energy in each cycle of the frequency, and thereby enables the diaphragm compressor to intermittently and vigorously compress the refrigerant fluid in the working chamber relatively smoothly. The method further enables the diaphragm compressor equipped with a relatively small power motor, especially a motor powered by household photovoltaic power, to fully compress the refrigerant.

[0023] 2. The control method of the air-conditioning system of the present application continuously disconnects the flywheel and the diaphragm or the workload when the condenser pressure is high to avoid serious overload of the compressor; and continuously connects the flywheel and the diaphragm or the workload when the condenser pressure is low to reduce energy waste and improve work efficiency.

[0042] Embodiment 1:

[0043] Figure 1 A sixth diaphragm pump is shown, the structure of which is similar to the first embodiment in the parent case (application number: CN2021105835430), except that:

[0044] This embodiment does not have a power fluid storage chamber connected to the power chamber and a valve on the communication path, but a clutch 37 is provided on the transmission system from the flywheel 24 to the piston 4. The clutch 37 is connected in series between the flywheel 24 and the piston 4. Obviously, the clutch 37 is provided on the driving path from the motor 5 to the diaphragm 3, and the clutch 37 is also a component of the driving path from the motor 5 to the diaphragm 3.

[0045] The clutch 37 is operable to be separated and engaged. When the clutch 37 is in the separated state, the driving path from the flywheel 24 to the diaphragm 3 is disconnected; when the clutch 37 is in the engaged state, the driving path from the flywheel 24 to the diaphragm 3 is engaged. It can be seen that the clutch 37 has the same function as the power fluid storage chamber 10 and the valve 11 in the first embodiment of the parent case.

[0046] like Figure 2As shown, in order to allow the clutch 37 to automatically engage or disengage according to the speed of the motor 5, the clutch 37 adopts an electrically controlled clutch that can be electrically engaged and electrically disengaged, and is equipped with a motor speed sensor 34 for detecting the speed of the motor 5 and a controller 35 that is communicatively connected to the motor speed sensor 34 and the clutch 37. The controller 35 is used to obtain the speed of the motor 5 from the motor speed sensor 34, and control the engagement and disengagement of the clutch 37 based on the speed, so as to realize the following control method that is basically the same as the first embodiment in the parent case:

[0047] This embodiment provides the following control method for the diaphragm pump:

[0048] S201, during the operation of the motor 5, the clutch 37 is controlled to be alternately disengaged and engaged at a first frequency.

[0049] That is, during the operation of the motor 5 , the driving path of the flywheel 24 to the diaphragm 3 is controlled to be alternately disconnected and engaged at the first frequency.

[0050] Preferably, during the operation of the motor 5 , if it is determined that the rotation speed of the motor 5 is in a set first rotation speed range, the drive path of the flywheel 24 to the diaphragm 3 is controlled to be alternately disconnected and engaged at a first frequency.

[0051] In other embodiments, the motor speed sensor 34 may not be configured, and only through a user instruction applied to the controller 35 , the controller 35 controls the clutch 37 to be alternately disengaged and engaged at the first frequency.

[0052] S202. In the process of controlling the clutch 37 to alternately disengage and engage at a first frequency in the above-mentioned S201, if it is detected that the rotation speed of the motor 5 continuously decreases within a first time period, the clutch 37 is controlled to alternately disengage and engage at a third frequency; wherein the ratio of the engagement time to the disengagement time of the clutch 37 in each cycle of the third frequency is less than the ratio of the engagement time to the disengagement time of the clutch 37 in each cycle of the first frequency.

[0053] That is, in the process of controlling the drive path of the flywheel 24 to the diaphragm 3 to be alternately disconnected and engaged at the first frequency, if it is determined that the rotation speed of the motor 5 is continuously reduced within the first time length, the drive path of the flywheel 24 to the diaphragm 3 is controlled to be alternately disconnected and engaged at the third frequency. Among them, the ratio of the engagement time length to the disconnection time length (of the drive path of the flywheel 24 to the diaphragm 3) in each cycle of the third frequency is less than the ratio of the engagement time length to the disconnection time length of the drive path in each cycle of the first frequency.

[0054] S203, in the process of controlling the clutch 37 to alternately separate and engage at the third frequency in the above S202, if it is detected that the speed of the motor 5 decreases continuously within the second time period, the clutch 37 is controlled to alternately separate and engage at a fourth frequency. The ratio of the engagement time period to the separation time period of the clutch 37 in each cycle of the fourth frequency is less than the ratio of the engagement time period to the separation time period of the clutch 37 in each cycle of the third frequency.

[0055] That is, in the process of controlling the drive path of the flywheel 24 to the diaphragm 3 to be alternately disconnected and engaged at the third frequency, if it is determined that the rotation speed of the motor 5 is continuously reduced within the second time period, the drive path of the flywheel 24 to the diaphragm 3 is controlled to be alternately disconnected and engaged at the fourth frequency. The ratio of the engagement time length to the disconnection time length of the drive path in each cycle of the fourth frequency is less than the ratio of the engagement time length to the disconnection time length of the drive path in each cycle of the third frequency.

[0056] S204. In the process of controlling the clutch 37 to be alternately separated and engaged at the third frequency in the above-mentioned S202, if it is detected that the rotation speed of the motor 5 continuously increases within the third time length, the clutch 37 is controlled to be alternately separated and engaged at the fifth frequency; wherein, the ratio of the engagement time length to the separation time length of the clutch 37 in each cycle of the first frequency is greater than the ratio of the engagement time length to the separation time length of the clutch 37 in each cycle of the fifth frequency is greater than the ratio of the engagement time length to the separation time length of the clutch 37 in each cycle of the third frequency.

[0057] That is, in the process of controlling the drive path of the flywheel 24 to the diaphragm 3 to be alternately disconnected and engaged at a third frequency, if it is determined that the rotational speed of the motor 5 continuously increases within the third time length, the drive path of the flywheel 24 to the diaphragm 3 is controlled to be alternately disconnected and engaged at a fifth frequency; wherein, the ratio of the engagement duration to the disconnection duration of the drive path in each cycle of the first frequency is greater than the ratio of the engagement duration to the disconnection duration of the drive path in each cycle of the fifth frequency is greater than the ratio of the engagement duration to the disconnection duration of the drive path in each cycle of the third frequency.

[0058] S205. In the process of controlling the clutch 37 to alternately disengage and engage at the first frequency in the above-mentioned S201, if it is detected that the rotation speed of the motor 5 continuously increases within the fourth time period, the clutch 37 is controlled to alternately disengage and engage at a sixth frequency; wherein the ratio of the engagement time to the disengagement time of the clutch 37 in each cycle of the sixth frequency is greater than the ratio of the engagement time to the disengagement time of the clutch 37 in each cycle of the first frequency.

[0059] That is, in the process of controlling the drive path of the flywheel 24 to the diaphragm 3 to be alternately disconnected and engaged at a first frequency, if it is determined that the rotational speed of the motor 5 continuously increases within a fourth time period, the drive path of the flywheel 24 to the diaphragm 3 is controlled to be alternately disconnected and engaged at a sixth frequency; wherein the ratio of the engagement duration to the disconnection duration of the drive path in each cycle of the sixth frequency is greater than the ratio of the engagement duration to the disconnection duration of the drive path in each cycle of the first frequency.

[0060] S206, in the process of controlling the clutch 37 to alternately separate and engage at the sixth frequency in the above S205, if it is detected that the speed of the motor 5 increases continuously within the fifth duration, the clutch 37 is controlled to alternately separate and engage at the seventh frequency. The ratio of the engagement duration to the separation duration of the clutch 37 in each cycle of the seventh frequency is greater than the ratio of the engagement duration to the separation duration of the clutch 37 in each cycle of the sixth frequency.

[0061] That is, in the process of controlling the drive path of the flywheel 24 to the diaphragm 3 to be alternately disconnected and engaged at the sixth frequency, if it is determined that the rotational speed of the motor 5 continues to increase within the fifth time period, the drive path of the flywheel 24 to the diaphragm 3 is controlled to be alternately disconnected and engaged at the seventh frequency; wherein the ratio of the engagement duration to the disconnection duration of the drive path in each cycle of the seventh frequency is greater than the ratio of the engagement duration to the disconnection duration of the drive path in each cycle of the sixth frequency.

[0062] S207, in the process of controlling the clutch 37 to alternately separate and engage at the sixth frequency in the above S205, if it is detected that the speed of the motor 5 decreases continuously within the sixth duration, the clutch 37 is controlled to alternately open and close at the eighth frequency. The ratio of the engagement duration to the separation duration of the clutch 37 in each cycle of the sixth frequency is greater than the ratio of the closing duration to the opening duration of the valve in each cycle of the eighth frequency, and the ratio of the engagement duration to the separation duration of the clutch 37 in each cycle of the first frequency.

[0063] That is, in the process of controlling the drive path of the flywheel 24 to the diaphragm 3 to be alternately disconnected and engaged at the sixth frequency, if it is determined that the rotation speed of the motor 5 continues to increase within the sixth time period, the drive path of the flywheel 24 to the diaphragm 3 is controlled to be alternately disconnected and engaged at the eighth frequency; wherein the ratio of the engagement time to the disconnection time of the drive path in each cycle of the sixth frequency is greater than the ratio of the engagement time to the disconnection time of the drive path in each cycle of the eighth frequency is greater than the ratio of the engagement time to the disconnection time of the drive path in each cycle of the first frequency.

[0064] S208, if it is detected that the rotation speed of the motor 5 is less than the first rotation speed threshold, the clutch 37 is controlled to be continuously disengaged; wherein the first rotation speed threshold is less than the lower limit of the first rotation speed range in S201.

[0065] That is, if it is determined that the speed of the motor 5 is less than a first speed threshold, the drive path of the flywheel 24 to the diaphragm 3 is continuously disconnected; wherein the first speed threshold is less than the lower limit of the first speed range, so as to avoid serious overload of the motor 5.

[0066] S209, if it is detected that the rotation speed of the motor 5 is greater than the second rotation speed threshold, the clutch 37 is controlled to be continuously engaged; wherein the second rotation speed threshold is not less than the first rotation speed threshold in S208.

[0067] That is, in the process of controlling the flywheel 24 to continuously disconnect the driving path to the diaphragm 3, if it is determined that the speed of the motor 5 is greater than the second speed threshold, the flywheel 24 is controlled to continuously engage the driving path to the diaphragm 3; wherein the second speed threshold is not less than the first speed threshold.

[0068] Preferably, the second speed threshold is greater than the upper limit of the first speed range in S201.

[0069] In other embodiments, the above strategies of S201-S207 may be abandoned, and only the strategies of S208 and S209 may be used to control the diaphragm pump:

[0070] That is, if it is determined that the speed of the motor 5 is less than the first speed threshold, the drive path of the flywheel 24 to the diaphragm 3 is continuously disconnected. If it is determined that the speed of the motor 5 is greater than the second speed threshold, the drive path of the flywheel 24 to the diaphragm 3 is continuously engaged; wherein the second speed threshold is not less than the first speed threshold. Under such a control mode, the second speed threshold can usually be equal to the first speed threshold. The disadvantage is that the speed of the motor 5 will be very unstable.

[0071] The controller 35 configured in the diaphragm pump of this embodiment also includes a memory, a processor connected to the memory, and computer instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor. When the computer instructions are executed by the processor, the control method is implemented.

[0072] To ensure that the clutch 37 has a longer service life, a flexible clutch can be selected for the clutch 37. Moreover, the flexible clutch is preferably connected in series between the flywheel 24 and the reducer 12, rather than on the downstream side of the reducer 12, to reduce the force on the flexible clutch.

[0073] Embodiment 2:

[0074] Figure 3The seventh diaphragm pump is shown, which is particularly suitable for the following situation: the fluid pressure at the inlet 6 is much smaller than the fluid pressure at the outlet 7, the extraction force for extracting the working fluid from the inlet 6 to the working chamber 1 is much smaller than the thrust for pushing the working fluid from the working chamber to the outlet 7, and the power consumption for extracting the working fluid is much smaller than the power consumption for pushing the working fluid. For example, the diaphragm pump is arranged at the water source to push water from a low place to a high place. This is similar to the working situation of a diaphragm compressor, so it is also particularly suitable for a diaphragm compressor.

[0075] The structure of the diaphragm pump is similar to that of the first embodiment of the present application, except that:

[0076] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the present embodiment is not equipped with a clutch. Instead, in addition to the suction valve 8, an additional electrically controlled valve 38 is provided, which is located between the inlet 6 and the working chamber 1 and is connected in parallel with the suction valve 8. The electrically controlled valve 38 is communicatively connected with the controller 35, so that the working state of the electrically controlled valve 38 can be controlled by the controller 35.

[0077] It can be seen that, in addition to the suction valve 8 originally provided in the conventional diaphragm pump, the present embodiment additionally provides an electrically controlled valve 38 located between the working chamber 1 and the inlet 6 .

[0078] In this embodiment, the suction valve 8 is a mechanical one-way valve. Different from the suction valve 8 that automatically opens and closes by sensing pressure, the opening and closing of the electric control valve 38 can be controlled by an electric signal that is independent of pressure. In other embodiments, the suction valve 8 can also be an electric control one-way valve. The difference between a mechanical one-way valve and an electric control one-way valve is further described below.

[0079] If the electric control valve 38 is in the closed state, the pump head of the diaphragm pump has the same working process as the conventional diaphragm pump head. At this time, as long as the diaphragm pump has sufficient energy, it can extract the working fluid from the inlet 6 into the working chamber 1 and then push it to the outlet 7. However, as mentioned above, the diaphragm pump consumes a lot of power to push the working fluid. Therefore, when the motor 5 rotates at a low speed and the flywheel 24 has insufficient energy storage, the diaphragm pump cannot push the working fluid in the working chamber 1 to the outlet 7 in sufficient quantity.

[0080] If the electric control valve 38 is in the open state, the piston 4 is in Figure 3 When the piston moves to the left, the working fluid in the inlet 6 is easily drawn into the working chamber 1 through the opened electric control valve 38, and the power consumption of this action is relatively small; Figure 3When the middle right shift occurs, the electric control valve 38 is in an open state, and the discharge valve 9 is kept in a closed state due to the high opening pressure, so the working fluid in the working chamber 1 will be discharged from the opened electric control valve 38 to the inlet 6. At this time, the working fluid in the working chamber is discharged from the inlet 6, and the power consumption of this action is also very small. It is equivalent to disconnecting the working load of the diaphragm 3 (at least partially). Therefore, in this process, part of the output power provided by the motor 5 is used to complete the aforementioned extraction and return action, and the other more part is used to do work on the flywheel 24, so that the flywheel 24 speeds up and stores energy.

[0081] It should be noted in particular that the "disconnecting the workload of the diaphragm" mentioned in the specification and claims of this application is not limited to adjusting the workload of the diaphragm to zero, but also includes "only partially disconnecting" the workload of the diaphragm, that is, including the situation of "reducing" the workload of the diaphragm.

[0082] Therefore, this embodiment provides the following control method of the diaphragm pump:

[0083] S301, during the operation of the motor 5, the electrically controlled valve 38 is controlled to be alternately opened and closed at a first frequency.

[0084] That is, during the operation of the motor 5, the electric control valve 38 is opened for the twenty-third time period - closed for the twenty-fourth time period - opened for the twenty-third time period - closed for the twenty-fourth time period... in turn according to the set first frequency. That is, during the operation of the motor 5, the workload of the control diaphragm 3 is alternately disconnected and connected at the first frequency. Moreover, in each cycle of the first frequency, the electric control valve 38 has a continuous opening time period and a continuous closing time period, and the ratio of the opening time period to the closing time period can be set as required. It can be understood that the larger the ratio of the opening time period to the closing time period of the electric control valve 38, the greater the proportion of the energy storage time of the flywheel 24 in each cycle; the smaller the ratio of the opening time period to the closing time period of the electric control valve 38, the smaller the proportion of the energy storage time of the flywheel 24 in each cycle.

[0085] For example, during the operation of the motor, the electric control valve 38 is alternately opened and closed at a frequency of 10 times / minute, and each time it is opened for 2 seconds and closed for 4 seconds. Among them, 10 times / minute means that the valve is opened 10 times and closed 10 times per minute, and the opening and closing are performed alternately. Specifically, the electric control valve is opened for 2 seconds-closed for 4 seconds-opened for 2 seconds-closed for 4 seconds-opened for 2 seconds-closed for 4 seconds…

[0086] During the operation of the motor 5, the electronically controlled valve 38 is controlled to be alternately opened and closed according to the set first frequency, so that the working load of the diaphragm 3 is alternately disconnected and connected. In turn, the flywheel 24 and the diaphragm 3 intermittently perform work in each cycle of the first frequency. The motor 5 periodically stores energy in the flywheel 24. If in each cycle, the energy provided by the motor 5 that runs continuously (for example, the above-mentioned 2 seconds) is balanced with the energy consumed by the diaphragm 3 that performs normal work only in a part of the time period (for example, the above-mentioned 4 seconds), then the diaphragm pump can operate continuously and stably.

[0087] It can be understood that when the electric control valve 38 is closed, the workload of the diaphragm 3 is connected, and the closing time of the electric control valve 38 = the connection time of the workload of the diaphragm. When the electric control valve 38 is opened, the workload of the diaphragm 3 is disconnected, and the opening time of the electric control valve 38 = the disconnection time of the workload of the diaphragm. For the convenience of description, in this embodiment, the connection time of the workload of the diaphragm is referred to as "the connection time of the workload", and the disconnection time of the workload of the diaphragm is referred to as "the disconnection time of the workload".

[0088] It is not appropriate to adopt the control strategy of S301 when the speed of the motor 5 is very low (such as just started). Therefore, the control strategy of S301 can be adopted only when the speed of the motor 5 is in the set first speed interval. That is, during the operation of the motor 5, if it is determined that the speed of the motor 5 is in the first speed interval, the workload of the diaphragm 3 is controlled to be alternately disconnected and connected at a first frequency. It can be understood that the aforementioned first speed interval is preferably an interval near the rated speed of the motor 5. For example, if the rated speed of the motor 5 is 10,000 rpm, the first speed interval can be selected as the interval of 9,000-11,000 rpm.

[0089] Of course, the switching frequency of the electric control valve 38 can also be adjusted when the motor 5 is in different speed intervals. For example, if it is determined that the speed of the motor 5 is in a second speed interval that is different from and has no intersection with the first speed interval and is smaller than the first speed interval, the electric control valve 38 is controlled to be alternately opened and closed at a second frequency different from the first frequency. That is, if it is determined that the speed of the motor 5 is in the second speed interval, the workload of the diaphragm 3 is controlled to be alternately disconnected and connected at the second frequency.

[0090] In other embodiments, the motor speed sensor 34 may not be configured, and the electric control valve 38 may be controlled to alternately separate and engage at a first frequency by a user providing a user instruction to the controller 35 .

In the process of controlling the electric control valve 38 to open and close alternately at a first frequency in the above-mentioned S301, if it is detected that the rotation speed of the motor 5 continuously decreases within a first time period, the electric control valve 38 is controlled to open and close alternately at a third frequency; wherein the ratio of the closing time to the opening time of the electric control valve 38 in each cycle of the third frequency is less than the ratio of the closing time to the opening time of the electric control valve 38 in each cycle of the first frequency.

[0092] That is, in the process of controlling the workload of the diaphragm 3 to be alternately disconnected and connected at a first frequency, if it is determined that the rotational speed of the motor 5 continuously decreases within a first time period, for example, one minute, the workload of the diaphragm 3 is controlled to be alternately disconnected and connected at a third frequency; wherein the ratio of the connection duration to the disconnection duration of the workload in each cycle of the third frequency is less than the ratio of the connection duration to the disconnection duration of the workload in each cycle of the first frequency.

[0093] The speed of the motor 5 decreases continuously within the set first time period, for example, within two minutes, indicating that within the first time period, the energy provided by the motor 5 is less than the power consumption of the diaphragm 3. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the proportion of the working time of the diaphragm 3, or to increase the proportion of the no-load energy storage time of the flywheel 24. Therefore, when it is detected that the speed of the motor 5 decreases continuously within the first time period, the control electric control valve 38 is alternately opened and closed at a third frequency different from the first frequency. Among them, the ratio of the connection time to the disconnection time of the workload in each cycle of the third frequency is less than the ratio of the connection time to the disconnection time in each cycle of the first frequency.

[0094] For example, the third frequency may be: open the electric control valve for 4 seconds - close the electric control valve for 2 seconds - open the electric control valve for 4 seconds - close the electric control valve for 2 seconds - open the electric control valve for 4 seconds - close the electric control valve for 2 seconds ..., and the cycle is still 10 times per minute. Of course, the third frequency can also be adjusted to 3, 6 or 20 times per minute, etc.

[0095] S303, in the process of controlling the electric control valve 38 to open and close alternately at the third frequency in the above S302, if it is detected that the speed of the motor 5 decreases continuously within the second time period, the electric control valve 38 is controlled to open and close alternately at a fourth frequency. The ratio of the closing time period to the opening time period of the electric control valve 38 in each cycle of the fourth frequency is less than the ratio of the closing time period to the opening time period of the electric control valve 38 in each cycle of the third frequency.

[0096] That is, in the process of controlling the workload of the diaphragm 3 to be alternately disconnected and connected at the third frequency, if it is determined that the speed of the motor 5 is continuously reduced within the second time period, the workload of the diaphragm 3 is controlled to be alternately disconnected and connected at the fourth frequency. The ratio of the workload connection time period to the disconnection time period in each cycle of the fourth frequency is less than the ratio of the workload connection time period to the disconnection time period in each cycle of the third frequency.

[0097] The speed of the motor 5 decreases continuously in the second time period, indicating that in the second time period, the energy provided by the motor 5 is still less than the power consumption of the diaphragm 3. Therefore, it is necessary to further reduce the time proportion of the normal operation of the diaphragm 3, or further increase the time proportion of the no-load energy storage of the flywheel 24. Therefore, when it is detected that the speed of the motor 5 continues to decrease continuously in the second time period, the electronically controlled valve 38 is controlled to open and close alternately at the fourth frequency.

[0098] Exemplarily, at the fourth frequency: open the electric-controlled valve for 5 seconds - close the electric-controlled valve for 1 second - open the electric-controlled valve for 5 seconds - close the electric-controlled valve for 1 second - open the electric-controlled valve for 5 seconds - close the electric-controlled valve for 1 second..., still cycling 10 times per minute.

[0099] S304, in the process of controlling the electric control valve 38 to open and close alternately at the third frequency in the above S302, if it is detected that the speed of the motor 5 increases continuously within the third time period, the electric control valve 38 is controlled to open and close alternately at the fifth frequency. The ratio of the closing time period to the opening time period of the electric control valve 38 in each cycle of the first frequency is greater than the ratio of the closing time period to the opening time period of the electric control valve 38 in each cycle of the fifth frequency, and the ratio of the closing time period to the opening time period of the electric control valve 38 in each cycle of the third frequency.

[0100] That is, in the process of controlling the workload of the diaphragm 3 to be alternately disconnected and connected at a third frequency, if it is determined that the rotation speed of the motor 5 continuously increases within the third time length, the workload of the diaphragm 3 is controlled to be alternately disconnected and connected at a fifth frequency; wherein, the ratio of the connection duration to the disconnection duration in each cycle of the first frequency is greater than the ratio of the connection duration to the disconnection duration in each cycle of the fifth frequency is greater than the ratio of the connection duration to the disconnection duration in each cycle of the third frequency.

[0101] The rotation speed of the motor 5 increases continuously within the third time period, indicating that within the third time period, the energy provided by the motor 5 is greater than the power consumption of the diaphragm 3. Therefore, the normal working time proportion of the diaphragm 3 can be appropriately increased, or the no-load energy storage time proportion of the flywheel 24 can be appropriately reduced. Therefore, when it is detected that the rotation speed of the motor 5 increases continuously within the third time period, the electronically controlled valve 38 is controlled to be alternately opened and closed at the fifth frequency.

[0102] Exemplarily, at the fifth frequency: open the electric-controlled valve for 3.5 seconds-close the electric-controlled valve for 2.5 seconds-open the electric-controlled valve for 3.5 seconds-close the electric-controlled valve for 2.5 seconds-open the electric-controlled valve for 3.5 seconds-close the electric-controlled valve for 2.5 seconds….

[0103] S305. In the process of controlling the electric control valve 38 to open and close alternately at the first frequency in the above-mentioned S301, if it is detected that the rotation speed of the motor 5 continuously increases within the fourth time length, the electric control valve 38 is controlled to open and close alternately at a sixth frequency; wherein, the ratio of the closing time length to the opening time length of the electric control valve 38 in each cycle of the sixth frequency is greater than the ratio of the closing time length to the opening time length of the electric control valve 38 in each cycle of the first frequency.

[0104] That is, in the process of controlling the workload of the diaphragm 3 to be alternately disconnected and connected at a first frequency, if it is determined that the rotation speed of the motor 5 continuously increases within a fourth time period, the workload of the diaphragm 3 is controlled to be alternately disconnected and connected at a sixth frequency; wherein the ratio of the connection duration to the disconnection duration of the workload in each cycle of the sixth frequency is greater than the ratio of the connection duration to the disconnection duration of the workload in each cycle of the first frequency.

[0105] The rotation speed of the motor 5 decreases continuously in the fourth time period, indicating that in the fourth time period, the energy provided by the motor 5 is greater than the power consumption of the diaphragm 3. Therefore, the proportion of time that the diaphragm 3 normally works can be increased, or the proportion of the no-load energy storage time of the flywheel 24 can be shortened. Therefore, when it is detected that the rotation speed of the motor 5 decreases continuously in the fourth time period, the electronically controlled valve 38 is controlled to be alternately opened and closed at the sixth frequency.

[0106] Exemplarily, the sixth frequency may be: open the electric control valve for 4 seconds - close the electric control valve for 11 seconds - open the electric control valve for 4 seconds - close the electric control valve for 11 seconds - open the electric control valve for 4 seconds - close the electric control valve for 11 seconds..., cycling on and off 4 times per minute.

[0107] S306, in the process of controlling the electric control valve 38 to open and close alternately at the sixth frequency in the above S305, if it is detected that the speed of the motor 5 increases continuously within the fifth time period, the electric control valve 38 is controlled to open and close alternately at the seventh frequency. The ratio of the closing time period to the opening time period of the electric control valve 38 in each cycle of the seventh frequency is greater than the ratio of the closing time period to the opening time period of the electric control valve 38 in each cycle of the sixth frequency.

[0108] That is, in the process of controlling the workload of the diaphragm 3 to be alternately disconnected and connected at the sixth frequency, if it is determined that the rotation speed of the motor 5 continuously increases within the fifth time period, the workload of the diaphragm 3 is controlled to be alternately disconnected and connected at the seventh frequency; wherein, the ratio of the connection duration to the disconnection duration of the workload in each cycle of the seventh frequency is greater than the ratio of the connection duration to the disconnection duration of the workload in each cycle of the sixth frequency.

[0109] The rotation speed of the motor 5 increases continuously in the fifth time period, indicating that in the fifth time period, the energy provided by the motor 5 is still greater than the power consumption of the diaphragm 3. Therefore, the proportion of time that the diaphragm 3 normally works can be further increased, or the proportion of time that the flywheel 24 stores energy without load can be further reduced. Therefore, when it is detected that the rotation speed of the motor 5 continues to decrease continuously in the fifth time period, the electronically controlled valve 38 is controlled to be alternately opened and closed at the seventh frequency.

[0110] Exemplarily, at the seventh frequency: open the electric-controlled valve for 4 seconds-close the electric-controlled valve for 12 seconds-open the electric-controlled valve for 4 seconds-close the electric-controlled valve for 12 seconds-open the electric-controlled valve for 4 seconds-close the electric-controlled valve for 12 seconds….

[0111] S307, in the process of controlling the electric control valve 38 to open and close alternately at the sixth frequency in the above S305, if it is detected that the speed of the motor 5 decreases continuously within the sixth time period, the electric control valve 38 is controlled to open and close alternately at the eighth frequency. The ratio of the closing time period to the opening time period of the electric control valve 38 in each cycle of the sixth frequency is greater than the ratio of the closing time period to the opening time period of the electric control valve 38 in each cycle of the eighth frequency, and the ratio of the closing time period to the opening time period of the electric control valve 38 in each cycle of the first frequency.

[0112] That is, in the process of controlling the workload of the diaphragm 3 to be alternately disconnected and connected at the sixth frequency, if it is determined that the rotational speed of the motor 5 continuously decreases within the sixth time period, the workload of the diaphragm 3 is controlled to be alternately disconnected and connected at the eighth frequency; wherein, the ratio of the connection duration to the disconnection duration of the workload in each cycle of the sixth frequency is greater than the ratio of the connection duration to the disconnection duration of the workload in each cycle of the eighth frequency is greater than the ratio of the connection duration to the disconnection duration of the workload in each cycle of the first frequency.

[0113] The speed of the motor 5 decreases continuously in the sixth time period, indicating that in the sixth time period, the energy provided by the motor 5 is less than the power consumption of the diaphragm 3. Therefore, the proportion of time that the diaphragm 3 normally works can be appropriately reduced, or the proportion of the no-load energy storage time of the flywheel 24 can be appropriately increased. Therefore, when it is detected that the speed of the motor 5 increases continuously in the sixth time period, the electronically controlled valve 38 is controlled to open and close alternately at the eighth frequency.

[0114] Exemplarily, at the eighth frequency: open the electric-controlled valve for 4 seconds-close the electric-controlled valve for 10 seconds-open the electric-controlled valve for 4 seconds-close the electric-controlled valve for 10 seconds-open the electric-controlled valve for 4 seconds-close the electric-controlled valve for 10 seconds….

[0115] S308, if it is detected that the rotation speed of the motor 5 is less than the first rotation speed threshold, the electronically controlled valve 38 is controlled to be continuously opened; wherein the first rotation speed threshold is less than the lower limit of the first rotation speed range in S301.

[0116] That is, if it is determined that the rotation speed of the motor 5 is less than a first relatively small rotation speed threshold, the workload of the control diaphragm 3 is continuously disconnected.

[0117] The first speed threshold is a relatively small value, which is less than the lower limit of the first speed range in this embodiment. When the speed of the motor 5 is less than the very small first speed threshold, it means that the energy of the motor 5 and the flywheel 24 is seriously insufficient, so the electric control valve 38 can be continuously opened to keep the workload of the diaphragm 3 in the disconnected state to avoid serious overload of the motor 5.

[0118] S309, if it is detected that the rotation speed of the motor 5 is greater than the second rotation speed threshold, the electronically controlled valve 38 is controlled to be continuously closed; wherein the second rotation speed threshold is not less than the first rotation speed threshold in S308.

[0119] That is, in the process of continuously disconnecting the workload of the diaphragm 3 , if it is determined that the rotation speed of the motor 5 is greater than the second rotation speed threshold, the workload of the diaphragm 3 is continuously connected.

[0120] It can be understood that in the process of continuously opening the electric control valve 38 in S308, the flywheel 24 is always kept in a no-load energy storage state, and the energy provided by the motor 5 is completely converted into the kinetic energy of the flywheel 24. When the speed of the motor 5 and the flywheel 24 is high enough and the kinetic energy is large enough, if the electric control valve 38 is still kept in the open state, the diaphragm pump will run without load as a whole, resulting in energy waste. Therefore, when the speed of the motor 5 is detected to be greater than the second speed threshold, the embodiment switches the electric control valve 38 from the punching state to the closed state, connects the workload of the diaphragm 3, and allows the diaphragm 3 to work normally.

[0121] The second speed threshold should not be less than the first speed threshold in S301, and is preferably a value greater than the upper limit of the first speed range.

[0122] Obviously, we can also abandon the above strategies of S301-S307 and only use the strategies of S308 and S309 to control the diaphragm pump:

[0123] That is, if it is determined that the speed of the motor 5 is less than the first speed threshold, the workload of the diaphragm 3 is controlled to be continuously disconnected. If it is determined that the speed of the motor 5 is greater than the second speed threshold, the workload of the diaphragm 3 is controlled to be continuously connected; wherein the second speed threshold is not less than the first speed threshold. Under such a control mode, the second speed threshold can usually be equal to the first speed threshold. The disadvantage is that the speed of the motor 5 will be very unstable.

[0124] The controller 35 configured in the diaphragm pump also includes a memory, a processor connected to the memory, and computer instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor. When the computer instructions are executed by the processor, the control method is implemented.

[0125] Embodiment three:

[0126] Figure 6 The tenth diaphragm pump is shown, which is also applicable to the situation described in the second embodiment: the extraction force for extracting the working fluid from the inlet 6 to the working chamber 1 is much smaller than the thrust for pushing the working fluid from the working chamber to the outlet 7, and the power consumption for extracting the working fluid is much smaller than the power consumption for pushing the working fluid. For example, the diaphragm pump is arranged at the water source to push the water from the low place to the high place. This is similar to the working situation of the diaphragm compressor, so it is also applicable to the diaphragm compressor.

[0127] The structure of the diaphragm pump is similar to that of the second embodiment, except that: in this embodiment, no additional electric-controlled valve is added between the working chamber 1 and the inlet 6, but the suction valve 8 is set as an electric-controlled one-way valve that is connected to the controller 35 for communication.

[0128] Based on the same purpose as the second embodiment, this embodiment mainly implements the following control method of the diaphragm pump similar to the ninth embodiment by writing computer instructions (codes) into the controller 35. The detailed control method can refer to the contents of the ninth embodiment.

[0129] S601, during the operation of the motor 5, the suction valve 8 is controlled to be open for an eighth time period at intervals of a seventh time period.

[0130] That is, during the operation of the motor 5, the suction valve 8 is alternately opened for the eighth time period - the interval is the seventh time period - the suction valve 8 is opened for the eighth time period - the interval is the seventh time period - the suction valve 8 is opened for the eighth time period - the interval is the seventh time period - the suction valve 8 is opened for the eighth time period .... In effect, it is equivalent to the case in the second, eighth and ninth embodiments: during the operation of the motor 5, the workload of the diaphragm 3 is alternately disconnected and connected at the first frequency.

[0131] Preferably, when it is determined that the rotation speed of the motor 5 is within the set first rotation speed range, the suction valve 8 is controlled to open for an eighth time period at intervals of a seventh time period.

[0132] S602, in the process of S601 controlling the suction valve 8 to open for the eighth time period at intervals of the seventh time period, if it is detected that the rotation speed of the motor 5 continuously decreases within the first time period, the suction valve 8 is controlled to open for the twelfth time period at intervals of the eleventh time period; wherein, the ratio of the eleventh time period to the twelfth time period is less than the ratio of the seventh time period to the eighth time period.

[0133] S603, in the process of controlling the suction valve 8 to open for the twelfth time period at every eleventh time period at S602, if it is detected that the speed of the motor 5 decreases continuously within the second time period, the suction valve 8 is controlled to open for the fourteenth time period at every thirteenth time period. The ratio of the thirteenth time period to the fourteenth time period is less than the ratio of the eleventh time period to the twelfth time period.

[0134] S604, in the process of controlling the suction valve 8 to open for the twelfth time period at intervals of the eleventh time period at S602, if it is detected that the speed of the motor 5 continuously increases within the third time period, the suction valve 8 is controlled to open for the sixteenth time period at intervals of the fifteenth time period. The ratio of the seventh time period to the eighth time period>the ratio of the fifteenth time period to the sixteenth time period>the ratio of the eleventh time period to the twelfth time period.

[0135] S605, in the process of S601 controlling the suction valve 8 to open for the eighth time period at intervals of the seventh time period, if it is detected that the rotation speed of the motor 5 continuously increases within the fourth time period, the suction valve 8 is controlled to open for the eighteenth time period at intervals of the seventeenth time period; wherein, the ratio of the seventeenth time period to the eighteenth time period is greater than the ratio of the seventh time period to the eighth time period.

[0136] S606, in the process of controlling the suction valve 8 to open for the eighteenth time period at every seventeenth time period in S605, if it is detected that the speed of the motor 5 increases continuously within the fifth time period, the suction valve 8 is controlled to open for the twentieth time period at every nineteenth time period. The ratio of the nineteenth time period to the twentieth time period is greater than the ratio of the seventeenth time period to the eighteenth time period.

[0137] S607, in the process of controlling the suction valve 8 to open for the eighteenth time period at intervals of the seventeenth time period in the above S605, if it is detected that the speed of the motor 5 continuously decreases within the sixth time period, the suction valve 8 is controlled to open for the twenty-second time period at intervals of the twenty-first time period. The ratio of the seventeenth time period to the eighteenth time period>the ratio of the twenty-first time period to the twenty-second time period>the ratio of the seventh time period to the eighth time period.

[0138] S608: If it is detected that the rotation speed of the motor 5 is less than a first relatively small rotation speed threshold, the suction valve 8 is controlled to be continuously opened.

[0139] S609, if it is detected that the rotation speed of the motor 5 is greater than the second rotation speed threshold, the above-mentioned active intervention of the controller 35 on the suction valve 8 is removed; wherein the second rotation speed threshold is not less than the first rotation speed threshold in S608.

[0140] In other embodiments, the strategies of S601 to S607 described above may be abandoned, and only the strategies of S608 and S609 may be used to control the diaphragm pump.
