The orderly diversion of the main refrigerant is achieved through the first combination valve 15, thereby improving the circulation orderliness of the main refrigerant.

[0059] In one embodiment, the heat pump unit further includes a sixth three-way valve 24.

[0061] In the above, by setting the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve in the heat pump unit, when the first solenoid valve is opened and the second solenoid valve is closed, the enthalpy-added upstream liquid extraction is realized, that is, the enthalpy-added circulating refrigerant passes through the condenser and before entering the economizer, and then passes through the enthalpy-added electronic expansion valve for throttling liquid extraction. When the current supercooling degree is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the enthalpy-added upstream liquid extraction method can ensure that the fin heat exchanger can fully evaporate, thereby avoiding liquid hammer caused by incompletely evaporated liquid refrigerant entering the compressor, thereby improving the operating reliability of the heat pump unit; when the first solenoid valve is closed and the second solenoid valve is opened, the enthalpy-added downstream liquid extraction is realized, that is, the enthalpy-added circulating refrigerant passes through the condenser and enters the economizer, and then passes through the enthalpy-added electronic expansion valve for throttling liquid extraction. In this way, when the current supercooling degree is less than the preset threshold value, the main circuit refrigerant can be secondary supercooled by the economizer through the method of taking liquid downstream by enthalpy increase, so as to avoid partial evaporation of the refrigerant before entering the valve part or the fin heat exchanger, avoid affecting the accuracy of the valve part and the evaporation capacity of the fin heat exchanger, thereby improving the operating reliability of the heat pump unit; compared with the existing heat pump unit with a fixed enthalpy increase liquid taking position, this embodiment is based on adding a corresponding first solenoid valve and a second solenoid valve in the heat pump unit to achieve different enthalpy increase liquid taking position points when the current supercooling degree is different, so as to change the enthalpy increase liquid taking position point according to the actual operating conditions to avoid problems such as compressor liquid hammer, thereby improving the operating reliability of the heat pump unit.

[0062] Figure 2 A flow chart of a heat pump unit control method provided in an embodiment of the present application is given. The heat pump unit control method provided in this embodiment can be executed by a heat pump unit control device, which can be implemented by software and / or hardware. The heat pump unit control device can be composed of two or more physical entities, or can be composed of one physical entity. Generally speaking, the heat pump unit control device can be a controller of the heat pump unit.

[0063] The following description is made by taking the controller in the heat pump unit as the main body for executing the heat pump unit control method. Figure 2 The heat pump unit control method is used for the aforementioned heat pump unit, and the heat pump unit control method specifically includes:

[0064] S101 . Acquire a first temperature value through a temperature sensor on a pipe at an output end of a condenser, and acquire a first pressure value through a pressure sensor on a pipe at an output end of the condenser.

[0065] The temperature is detected by a temperature sensor installed on the pipe at the output end of the condenser to obtain a first temperature value; the pressure is detected by a pressure sensor installed on the pipe at the output end of the condenser to obtain a first pressure value. The first temperature value and the first pressure value at the output end of the condenser are detected by the temperature sensor and the pressure sensor, and transmitted to the controller of the heat pump unit. The controller receives the sensor data, that is, receives the first temperature value and the first pressure value, to calculate the corresponding current supercooling degree, and subsequently controls the opening and closing of the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve according to the current supercooling degree.

[0066] S102: Determine a current degree of supercooling according to a first temperature value and a first pressure value.

[0067] The current saturated condensing temperature value is determined according to the first pressure value detected by the pressure sensor and the preset mapping relationship. The current subcooling degree is determined according to the difference between the currently measured first temperature value and the current saturated condensing temperature value. For example, according to the formula: Tsubcooling = Tcondensing out - Tsaturated condensing, the current saturated condensing temperature value is calculated, wherein Tsaturated condensing is the saturated condensing temperature value of the refrigerant at the current pressure, Tcondensing out is the actual temperature of the condenser outlet, that is, the first temperature value, and Tsubcooling is the current saturated condensing temperature value.

[0068] S103: When the current degree of supercooling is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, control the first solenoid valve to open, and control the second solenoid valve to close.

[0069] The temperature sensor and the pressure sensor are used to detect the degree of subcooling at the output end of the condenser in real time. When the current degree of subcooling is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, for example, greater than or equal to 5°C, the first solenoid valve is controlled to open, and the second solenoid valve is controlled to close. The heat pump unit performs enthalpy-added upstream liquid extraction, that is, the enthalpy-added circulating refrigerant passes through the condenser before entering the economizer and passes through the enthalpy-added electronic expansion valve for throttling. When the current degree of subcooling is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the enthalpy-added upstream liquid extraction method is adopted to ensure that the fin heat exchanger can fully evaporate, thereby avoiding liquid hammer caused by the incompletely evaporated liquid refrigerant entering the compressor, thereby improving the operating reliability of the heat pump unit; in addition, it can also avoid the evaporation energy efficiency of the fin heat exchanger being too low, thereby improving the overall working energy efficiency of the heat pump unit.

[0070] It should be noted that the preset threshold can be set according to actual conditions and is not limited in this embodiment.

[0071] S104: When the current supercooling degree is less than a preset threshold, the first solenoid valve is controlled to be closed, and the second solenoid valve is controlled to be opened.

[0072] The temperature sensor and the pressure sensor are used to detect the degree of subcooling at the output end of the condenser in real time. When the current degree of subcooling is less than the preset threshold, for example, less than 5°C, the first solenoid valve is controlled to be closed, and the second solenoid valve is controlled to be opened, and the heat pump unit performs enthalpy-added downstream liquid extraction, that is, the enthalpy-added circulating refrigerant passes through the condenser and enters the economizer, and then passes through the enthalpy-added electronic expansion valve to throttle the liquid extraction method. When the current degree of subcooling is less than the preset threshold, the enthalpy-added downstream liquid extraction method is adopted, and the main refrigerant can be subcooled twice by the economizer, thereby improving the working energy efficiency of the heat pump unit; and it can avoid the refrigerant from partially evaporating before entering the valve or fin heat exchanger, avoiding affecting the accuracy of the valve and the evaporation capacity of the fin heat exchanger, thereby improving the operating reliability of the heat pump unit and improving the overall working energy efficiency of the heat pump unit.

[0073] After switching the enthalpy increase liquid tapping point, that is, executing the above-mentioned step S103 or S104, continue to monitor the current supercooling through the temperature sensor and the pressure sensor, and dynamically adjust the enthalpy increase liquid tapping point according to the real-time monitored data, that is, dynamically control the opening and closing of the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve to ensure efficient operation of the heat pump unit.

[0074] As described above, by real-time detection and dynamic adjustment of the enthalpy increase liquid extraction point, the operating state of the heat pump unit is optimized, energy loss is reduced, and thus the working efficiency of the heat pump unit is improved; and, by dynamically adjusting the enthalpy increase liquid extraction point, problems such as liquid hammer, insufficient supercooling or excessive supercooling caused by the existing fixed liquid extraction method are avoided, thereby improving the operating stability and reliability of the heat pump unit; in addition, under different environmental conditions, the heat pump unit can automatically adjust the enthalpy increase liquid extraction method to determine the optimal cooling or heating effect, can adapt to changing working conditions, and further improve the operating reliability of the heat pump unit.

[0075] As mentioned above, when the current degree of supercooling is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the method of taking liquid upstream by increasing enthalpy can ensure that the fin heat exchanger can fully evaporate, so as to avoid liquid hammer caused by the incompletely evaporated liquid refrigerant entering the compressor, thereby improving the operating reliability of the heat pump unit; in addition, it can also avoid the evaporation efficiency of the fin heat exchanger being too low, thereby improving the overall working energy efficiency of the heat pump unit. When the current degree of supercooling is less than the preset threshold, the method of taking liquid downstream by increasing enthalpy can be used to perform secondary supercooling of the main refrigerant using the economizer, thereby improving the working energy efficiency of the heat pump unit; and it can avoid the refrigerant from partially evaporating before entering the valve or fin heat exchanger, avoiding affecting the accuracy of the valve and the evaporation capacity of the fin heat exchanger, thereby improving the operating reliability of the heat pump unit and improving the overall working energy efficiency of the heat pump unit.

[0076] The present application embodiment provides a heat pump unit control device, referring to Figure 3The heat pump unit control device includes: a processor 31, a memory 32, a communication module 33, an input device 34 and an output device 35. The number of processors in the heat pump unit control device can be one or more, and the number of memories in the heat pump unit control device can be one or more.
