[0039] The principles and processes of the air source heat pump air conditioning system control method, device, apparatus and storage medium in the embodiments of the application are described in detail below in combination with the drawings.

[0040] First, the technical terms mentioned in the application are described.

[0041] PID algorithm: the PID control algorithm combines three control links of proportion, integral and differential, and adjusts the control output through the combination of the three links, so that the actual output value of the system is as close as possible to the expected reference value.

[0042] Proportional control: The output of the proportional controller is directly proportional to the input error, which can quickly reflect the error and reduce the error, but cannot eliminate the static error (the difference between the given value and the measured value of the output when the system control process tends to be stable). The larger the proportional coefficient, the stronger the control effect and the faster the system response, but it may cause the system to produce larger overshoot and oscillation, and reduce the stability performance.

[0043] Integral control: Integral control is mainly used to eliminate static error and improve the system's error-free degree. The strength of integral action depends on the integral time constant Ti, the smaller Ti, the faster the integral speed and the stronger the integral action. The existence of integral control is related to the existence time of error e(t), as long as the system has error, the integral element will continue to act, integrating the input error, so that the output of the controller and the opening of the actuator change continuously to reduce the error. However, the introduction of integral control can eliminate static error, but it will reduce the response speed of the system, especially for the controlled object with large inertia, which may cause the system to produce larger overshoot and oscillation.

[0044] Derivative control: Derivative control is based on the rate of change of error to predict future error and adjust the control output accordingly. Derivative control helps to speed up the response of the system, reduce overshoot, and increase the stability of the system. Derivative control is very sensitive to noise, because noise usually causes sudden changes in error, which may be mistaken for the rate of change of error. If the derivative time constant is too large, the system will be unstable.

[0045] Secondly, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a step schematic diagram of an air source heat pump air conditioning system control method provided by the embodiment of the application. In Figure 1 , the air source heat pump air conditioning system control method can include but is not limited to steps S101-S103.

[0046] S101, obtaining the return air temperature, the coil inlet temperature and the liquid accumulation temperature of the air source heat pump air conditioning system.

[0047] In some feasible embodiments of the application, the processor or other chip with data processing function can be connected with the sensor in wired or wireless manner. The processor can receive the return air temperature, the coil inlet temperature and the liquid accumulation temperature of the air source heat pump air conditioning system measured by the sensor. Specifically, referring to Figure 2 , some sensors can be deployed outside the gas-liquid separator shell, which can detect the liquid accumulation temperature. Some sensors can be deployed between the gas-liquid separator outlet and the compressor suction port, which can detect the return air temperature. Some sensors can be deployed on the fin capillary transition pipe, which can detect the coil temperature. Some sensors can be deployed outside the unit, which can detect the ambient temperature.

[0048] It should be noted that the above wired connection mode can include the connection between the mobile device and the processing module, and can also include the connection between the processing module and the hardware device and other now known or future developed devices and the processing module; and the above wireless connection mode can include but is not limited to 3G / 4G / 5G connection, WiFi connection, Bluetooth connection, WiMAX connection, Zigbee connection, UWB (Ultra Wide Band) connection and other now known or future developed wireless connection modes.

[0049] S102, determining the system back gas superheat degree according to the back gas temperature and the coil inlet temperature.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, the processor can determine the system back gas superheat degree according to the back gas temperature and the coil inlet temperature. The system back gas superheat degree is an intermediate parameter, which can be used for subsequent ball valve control.

[0051] S103, adjusting the first ball valve and / or the second ball valve of the back gas branch according to the system back gas superheat degree and the liquid accumulation temperature.

[0052] It can be understood that, with reference to Figure 2 , the back gas branch can be a branch composed of a three-way valve, a first ball valve A, a reactor fluorine cooling heat sink, a second ball valve B, a gas-liquid separator and a pipeline connected between each other.

[0053] In some feasible embodiments of the present application, the processor can adjust the first ball valve and the second ball valve of the back gas branch according to the system back gas superheat degree and the liquid accumulation temperature. In some embodiments, the processor can adjust the first ball valve of the back gas branch according to the system back gas superheat degree and the liquid accumulation temperature. In some embodiments, the processor can adjust the second ball valve of the back gas branch according to the system back gas superheat degree and the liquid accumulation temperature.

[0054] Further, in the embodiments of the present application, the step of adjusting the first ball valve and the second ball valve of the air source heat pump air conditioning system according to the system back gas superheat degree and the liquid accumulation temperature can include steps S201-S202.

[0055] S201, in the heating mode, when the ambient temperature where the air source heat pump air conditioning system is located is lower than a first preset temperature, and the system back gas superheat degree is less than or equal to a first set value, and the liquid accumulation temperature is less than a second set value, the first ball valve is adjusted to be opened at a first preset opening degree.

[0056] S202, in the heating mode, after the first ball valve is opened at the first preset opening degree, when the ambient temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, the system back gas superheat degree is less than or equal to the third set value, the liquid accumulation temperature is less than or equal to the second set value and the holding time is greater than the first time threshold, the first ball valve is adjusted from the first preset opening degree to the second preset opening degree.

[0057] Further, in the embodiment of the application, the first preset opening degree and the second preset opening degree satisfy the following formula:

[0058] K1=K2+P1

[0059] Wherein, K2 is the first preset opening degree, K1 is the second preset opening degree, and P1 is a preset constant.

[0060] Further, in the embodiment of the application, the step of adjusting the first ball valve and the second ball valve of the air source heat pump air conditioning system according to the system back gas superheat degree and the liquid accumulation temperature can further include step S203.

[0061] S203, in the cooling mode, the first ball valve and the second ball valve are closed, and the electronic expansion valve is controlled to operate through the PID algorithm.

[0062] Further, in the embodiment of the application, the step of adjusting the first ball valve and the second ball valve of the air source heat pump air conditioning system according to the system back gas superheat degree and the liquid accumulation temperature can further include step S204.

[0063] S204, in the defrosting mode, the first ball valve and the second ball valve are closed, and the electronic expansion valve is controlled to operate at the third preset opening degree.

[0064] Further, in the embodiment of the application, the step of adjusting the first ball valve and the second ball valve of the air source heat pump air conditioning system according to the system back gas superheat degree and the liquid accumulation temperature can further include step S205 and step S206.

[0065] S205, in the heating mode, when the ambient temperature of the air source heat pump air conditioning system is lower than the first preset temperature, the system back gas superheat degree is less than or equal to the first set value, and the liquid accumulation temperature is less than the second set value, the second ball valve is adjusted to open at the fourth preset opening degree.

[0066] S206, in the heating mode, after the first ball valve is opened at the first preset opening degree, when the ambient temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, the system back gas superheat degree is less than or equal to the third set value, and the liquid accumulation temperature is less than or equal to the second set value and the holding time is greater than the first time threshold, the second ball valve is controlled to operate at the fourth preset opening degree.

[0067] It can be understood that the fourth preset opening degree can be the same as the fifth preset opening degree. Specifically, the fourth preset opening degree and the fifth preset opening degree can both be 100%. The first preset opening degree can be the smallest opening degree of the ball valve, and the second preset opening degree can be greater than the first preset opening degree. The third preset opening degree can be an arbitrary value set by a user.

[0068] Further, in the embodiments of the present application, the step of determining the system back gas superheat degree according to the back gas temperature and the coil inlet temperature can include steps S301-S302.

[0069] The back gas temperature and the coil inlet temperature are subtracted to obtain a first difference.

[0070] The first difference is taken as the system back gas superheat degree.

[0071] The specific implementation principles of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0072] Referring to Figure 2 The back gas branch of the present embodiment can be a branch composed of a three-way valve, a first ball valve A, a reactor fluorine-cooled heat sink, a second ball valve B, a gas-liquid separator, and a pipeline connected between each of them. The system design of the present embodiment adjusts the refrigerant flow of the back gas branch by controlling the opening degree of the ball valve, thereby controlling the proportion of liquid-phase refrigerant entering the gas-liquid separator, effectively reducing the accumulation of a large amount of liquid-phase refrigerant in the gas-liquid separator, utilizing the heat generated by the reactor in operation, and improving the refrigerant circulation amount of the system, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the risk of system back liquid and improving the capacity of the heat pump unit at low ambient temperature or even ultra-low ambient temperature.

[0073] A sensor outside the gas-liquid separator shell detects the liquid accumulation temperature. A sensor between the gas-liquid separator outlet and the compressor suction port detects the back gas temperature; a sensor of the fin capillary transition pipe detects the coil temperature; and a sensor outside the unit detects the ambient temperature. The following analysis is based on different modes of different heat pump air conditioners.

[0074] Ambient temperature ≤2℃ ≤-7℃ ≤-12℃ ≤-17℃ ≤-22℃ Ball valve A opening 15% 30% Control logic Control logic Control logic Ball valve B opening 100% 100% 100% 100% 100%

[0075] Table 1

[0076] The control in the heating mode refers to Table 1 and Figure 3 The controller can control the refrigerant flow of the heat supplement branch by adjusting the opening degrees of the ball valves A and B. When the ambient temperature is ≤-17℃, the opening degree of the ball valve A is adjusted according to the difference between the target heat supplement superheat degree and the system heat supplement superheat degree. The system heat supplement superheat degree = heat supplement outlet temperature - heat supplement inlet temperature, the system back gas superheat degree = back gas temperature - coil inlet temperature, and when the ambient temperature is ≤-12℃, the unit executes the following control logic.

[0077] The first opening condition of the ball valve A is that the return gas superheat is less than or equal to a set value t1, the liquid temperature is less than or equal to a set value t2, and the holding time is greater than or equal to T1, the ball valve A is kept open at a minimum opening, and the ball valve B opening is kept at 100% during the process; the electronic expansion valve opening is adjusted according to the normal logic.

[0078] When the ball valve A is opened at the minimum opening, the return gas superheat is less than or equal to a set value t2, the liquid temperature is less than or equal to a set value t2, and the holding time is greater than or equal to T2, the ball valve A opening is equal to the minimum opening plus P1 step, and then the PID adjustment is performed according to the difference between the target superheat and the system superheat, and the ball valve B opening is kept at 100% during the process. The electronic expansion valve opening is adjusted according to the normal logic. Wherein, P1 step is a preset opening parameter.

[0079] T1, T2 take the value range of 1-7 min; t1, t2 take the value range of 0-15℃, and P1 takes the value range of 5-100%.

[0080] Ambient temperature / Ball valve A opening 0% Ball valve B opening 0%

[0081] Table 2

[0082] The control in the refrigeration mode refers to Table 2 and Figure 4 In the refrigeration mode, the ball valve A and the ball valve B are both kept closed. The electronic expansion valve opening is adjusted according to the normal logic.

[0083] Ambient temperature / Ball valve A opening 0% Ball valve B opening 0%

[0084] Table 3

[0085] The control in the defrosting mode refers to Table 3 and Figure 5 In the defrosting mode, the ball valve A and the ball valve B are both closed, the electronic expansion valve opening is not adjusted, and is fixedly operated at a preset defrosting opening P2 until the defrosting is completed, and the normal logic is restored for adjustment.

[0086] In summary, the air source heat pump air conditioning system control method has the following advantages:

[0087] 1. In the heating mode, the application can utilize the heat generated by the reactor to prevent liquid refrigerant from entering the compressor to cause compressor liquid knock.

[0088] 2. In the heating mode, the application can adjust the opening of the ball valve to improve the refrigerant circulation amount at ultra-low ambient temperature, thereby improving the unit capacity.

[0089] In addition, referring to Figure 6 , and Figure 1The method corresponds to the method, and the embodiment of the application further provides an air source heat pump air conditioning system control device. The device can include an acquisition unit 1001, a first processing unit 1002, and a second processing unit 1003.

The first processing unit 1002 can be used to determine the system return air superheat degree according to the return air temperature and the coil inlet temperature. The second processing unit 1003 can be used to adjust the first ball valve and / or the second ball valve of the air source heat pump air conditioning system according to the system return air superheat degree and the liquid accumulation temperature.
