At the same time, the evaporator is guaranteed to have a certain degree of superheat, which means that the machine has reached the best state under the current refrigerant amount and throttling, but the capacity and performance of the air conditioner are not optimal. In order to optimize the capacity and performance of the air conditioner, it is necessary to repeatedly adjust the opening of the throttling device and the amount of refrigerant so that the air conditioner can reach the highest capacity and the best performance under the current machine configuration, and then determine various possible refrigerant amounts and throttling capillary specifications based on the test data, and then repeatedly evacuate the air conditioner, try to charge different amounts of refrigerant and replace possible throttling capillaries of various specifications one by one, and then the best refrigerant amount and throttling capillary specifications are obtained through testing.

[0043] First, the debugging process of the existing air conditioner is introduced.

[0044] In the debugging process of the existing air conditioner, it is generally necessary to estimate a certain weight of refrigerant in the refrigerant system according to the compressor specification and debugging experience for filling (generally, the refrigerant filling amount will be more during debugging), and then reduce the refrigerant and throttle the operation through the manual switch stop valve to ensure that the compressor reaches the expected exhaust temperature. At the same time, it is ensured that the evaporator has a certain degree of superheat, which means that the machine has reached the best state under the current refrigerant amount and throttling, but the capacity and performance of the air conditioner are not optimal. In order to optimize the capacity and performance of the air conditioner, it is necessary to repeatedly adjust the opening of the throttling device and the refrigerant amount, so that the air conditioner can reach the highest capacity and the best performance under the current machine configuration, and then determine various possible refrigerant amounts and throttling capillary specifications according to test data, and then repeatedly evacuate the air conditioner, try to fill different amounts of refrigerant and replace possible throttling capillaries of various specifications one by one, and then get the best refrigerant amount and throttling capillary specifications through experiments. This method is cumbersome, and the machine is constantly disassembled and assembled, which wastes refrigerant and capillaries, has a long debugging cycle, and consumes manpower, material resources, and resources. Therefore, the present invention proposes the following technical solutions.

[0045] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, in order to solve the problem that the existing air conditioner debugging process is cumbersome and inefficient, the air conditioner energy efficiency debugging device 1 of the present invention includes a housing 11, and the housing 11 is provided with a first control screen 111 and a second control screen 112. When the housing 11 is opened, a computer board 18 is provided inside the housing 11, and the first control screen 111 and the second control screen 112 are connected to the computer board 18 for communication. The housing 11 also includes:

[0046] The first refrigerant pipeline 12, the first end 122 of the first refrigerant pipeline 12 passes through the shell 11 and is connected to the indoor heat exchanger, and the second end 123 passes through the shell 11 and is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger, thereby realizing the connection between the energy efficiency debugging device 1 and the air conditioning system. A first valve 121 and a first pressure sensor (not shown in the figure) are also provided on the first refrigerant pipeline 12. The first valve 121 is used to adjust the flow rate of the refrigerant in the first refrigerant pipeline 12, and the first pressure sensor is used to obtain the pressure value in the first refrigerant pipeline 12. The first valve 121 and the first pressure sensor are connected to the computer board 18 for communication.

[0047] A second refrigerant pipeline 13 and a refrigerant storage device 15, one end of the second refrigerant pipeline 13 is connected to the refrigerant storage device 15, and the other end is connected to the first refrigerant pipeline 12 between the indoor heat exchanger and the first valve 121. A third valve 131 is provided at the connection between the second refrigerant pipeline 13 and the first refrigerant pipeline 12. The third valve 131 is a three-way valve. The third valve 131 can control the on-off of the second refrigerant pipeline 13 and the first refrigerant pipeline 12, thereby controlling whether the refrigerant storage device 15 releases or absorbs refrigerant to the first refrigerant pipeline 12 and the air-conditioning system through the second refrigerant pipeline 13. The third valve 131 is communicatively connected to the computer board 18.

[0048] The small electronic scale 16 is disposed below the refrigerant storage device 15 and is used to measure the weight of the refrigerant storage device 15 . The small electronic scale 16 is communicatively connected to the computer board 18 .

[0049] A gas circulation pipeline 14, one end of which passes through the shell 11 and is connected to the gas source. An airflow pressure device 141 and a second valve 142 are provided on the gas circulation pipeline 14. The second valve 142 has the same inner diameter as the first valve 121 and is used to simulate the refrigerant flow rate that can pass through when the opening degree is the same as that of the first valve 121. The airflow pressure device 141 can adjust the pressure in the gas circulation pipeline 14 and obtain the air flow value passing through the second valve 142 under the current pressure. The airflow pressure device 141 and the second valve 142 are communicatively connected to the computer board 18.

[0050] like Figure 5-Figure 10 As shown, the control method for the air conditioner energy efficiency debugging device 1 includes:

[0056] In the above steps, step S1 further comprises:

[0058] S12, comparing T with the compressor target exhaust temperature T1;

[0059] S13, when T<T1, reducing the opening of the first valve 121;

[0067] Step S3 further comprises:

[0068] S31, obtaining the initial weight M0 of the refrigerant in the air-conditioning system;

[0069] S32, obtaining a weight change ΔM of the refrigerant storage device 15;

[0070] S33 , obtaining the actual weight M of the refrigerant when the performance parameter of the air conditioner reaches the optimal value according to the initial weight M0 of the refrigerant in the first refrigerant pipeline 12 and the weight change ΔM of the refrigerant storage device 15 .

[0072] S35 . Obtain the pressure value at the first valve 121 through the first pressure sensor.

[0073] Step S4 further comprises:

[0074] S41, controlling the second valve 142 to open to the same opening as the first valve 121;

[0075] S42, controlling the air flow pressure device 141 to adjust the pressure value of the gas flow pipeline 14 to be the same as the pressure value of the first refrigerant pipeline 12;

[0076] S43, obtaining the air flow rate of the second valve 142 at the current opening through the airflow pressure device 141;

[0077] S44, recording the value of the air flow as the refrigerant flow of the first valve at the current opening value and pressure value.

[0078] Step S5 further comprises:

[0079] S51. Determine the capillary length corresponding to different inner diameters according to the refrigerant flow rate and the preset capillary inner diameter.

[0080] In the process of debugging the air conditioner, firstly, a certain amount of refrigerant is charged into the air conditioning system, that is, the preset refrigerant quantity condition mentioned in the above step S1. At this time, the exhaust temperature T of the compressor is obtained while adjusting the opening of the first valve 121, and T is compared with the target exhaust temperature T1 of the compressor. When T>T1, it means that the exhaust temperature of the compressor is relatively high at this time. The flow rate of the refrigerant can be increased by increasing the opening of the first valve 121, and the exhaust temperature of the compressor can be reduced by improving the heat exchange efficiency of the refrigerant. On the contrary, when T<T1, it means that the exhaust temperature of the compressor is relatively low at this time. The flow rate of the refrigerant can be reduced by reducing the opening of the first valve 121, thereby balancing the refrigeration performance of the system by reducing the pressure difference between the condenser and the evaporator.

[0081] Through the above steps, the performance of the air conditioner can be adjusted to the best under the working condition of the current preset refrigerant amount. However, since the preset refrigerant amount is not necessarily the most suitable refrigerant amount, the exhaust temperature of the compressor may not reach the target exhaust temperature T1. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the value of the preset refrigerant amount to further improve the performance of the air conditioner. In this process, continue to obtain the exhaust temperature T of the compressor and compare T with the compressor target exhaust temperature T1. When T>T1, it means that the exhaust temperature of the compressor is relatively high at this time, and the third valve 131 is controlled to connect the second refrigerant pipeline 13 with the first refrigerant pipeline 12, and the refrigerant storage device 15 is controlled to release refrigerant to the first refrigerant pipeline 12 through the second refrigerant pipeline 13 to absorb excess heat, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the exhaust temperature of the compressor. On the contrary, when T<T1, it means that the exhaust temperature of the compressor is relatively low at this time. The third valve 131 is controlled to connect the second refrigerant pipeline 13 with the first refrigerant pipeline 12, and the refrigerant storage device 15 is controlled to absorb the refrigerant in the first refrigerant pipeline 12 through the second refrigerant pipeline 13 to avoid excessive absorption of heat by the refrigerant, thereby increasing the exhaust temperature of the compressor.

[0082] In addition, when T=T1, it means that the performance of the air conditioner is the best at this time, and the third valve 131 is controlled to disconnect the second refrigerant pipeline 13 from the first refrigerant pipeline 12 to maintain the refrigerant amount in the air conditioning system at this time. Next, it is necessary to obtain the refrigerant amount in the air conditioning system at this time, the opening degree of the first valve 121, and the pressure in the first refrigerant pipeline 12.

[0083] As mentioned above, before debugging the air conditioner, a certain amount of refrigerant must be charged into the air conditioning system. Before injecting the refrigerant into the air conditioner, the refrigerant can be weighed to obtain the initial weight M0 of the refrigerant in the air conditioning system. At the same time, the initial weight M0 of the refrigerant storage device 15 can be weighed by a small electronic scale 16. a During the debugging process, the weight of the refrigerant storage device 15 will change due to the change in the amount of refrigerant. When the debugging is completed, the final weight M of the refrigerant storage device 15 is weighed by a small electronic scale 16. b , through M a and M b The weight change ΔM of the refrigerant storage device 15 is calculated, and ΔM is also the change in the refrigerant in the air conditioning system. Therefore, the refrigerant amount M of the air conditioning system at the best performance can be calculated based on M0 and ΔM. Next, the method for obtaining the capillary specifications of the air conditioner at the best performance is introduced.

[0084] The opening value of the first valve 121 can be obtained through the indication on the first valve 121, and the pressure value in the first refrigerant pipeline 12 can be obtained through the first pressure sensor. At this time, the second valve 142 is controlled to open to the same opening as the first valve 121, and the airflow pressure device 141 is controlled to adjust the pressure value of the gas circulation pipeline 14 to the same pressure value as the first refrigerant pipeline 12. The air flow rate of the second valve 142 at the current opening, that is, the refrigerant flow rate that can pass through the first valve 121, can be obtained through the airflow pressure device 141. Then, the length of the capillary corresponding to different inner diameters can be determined according to the refrigerant flow rate and the preset capillary inner diameter.

[0085] It is worth mentioning that, since the first control screen 111, the second control screen 112, the first valve 121, the first pressure sensor, the third valve 131, the small electronic scale 16, the airflow pressure device 141 and the second valve 142 are all connected to the computer board 18 for communication, the data collected during the above debugging process can be displayed on the first control screen 111 and the second control screen 112. At the same time, those skilled in the art can also control the first valve 121, the second valve 142, the third valve 131 and the airflow pressure device 141 through the first control screen 111 and the second control screen 112 by means of a touch screen, and these implementations are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0086] In addition, the aforementioned adjustment of the air conditioner performance according to the exhaust temperature of the compressor is only an exemplary description for the convenience of description. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that in the process of debugging the air conditioner, other performance parameters need to be detected, such as the superheat of the evaporator and the subcooling of the condenser, etc. The debugging principle is similar to the process of the compressor exhaust temperature, and the present invention will not elaborate on them one by one.

[0087] Refer to the following Figure 3 , Fig.11 , a second implementation of the control method for the air conditioner energy efficiency debugging device 1 of the present invention is introduced.

[0088] In the second embodiment, the refrigerant storage device 15 is further connected to a third refrigerant pipeline 17, one end of the third refrigerant pipeline 17 is connected to the refrigerant storage device 15, and the other end is connected to the refrigerant source, and a fourth valve 171 is provided on the third refrigerant pipeline 17 to control whether to add or absorb refrigerant into the refrigerant storage device 15. The refrigerant storage device 15 is also connected to a second pressure sensor (not shown in the figure), and the second pressure sensor is connected to an alarm device (not shown in the figure).

[0089] The control method for the air conditioner energy efficiency debugging device 1 includes:

[0090] S01, obtaining the pressure value F of the refrigerant in the refrigerant storage device 15;

[0091] S02, comparing F with the maximum pressure value F1 and the minimum pressure value F2 of the refrigerant in the refrigerant storage device 15;

[0092] S03, when F≥F1, the alarm device is controlled to send out an alarm message, and the fourth valve 171 is controlled to open, and the refrigerant in the refrigerant storage device is periodically discharged into the refrigerant source at a first preset weight M1 each time, and the number of times the refrigerant is discharged is recorded until F<F1;

[0093] S04. When F≤F2, the fourth valve 171 is controlled to open and the refrigerant source periodically inputs refrigerant into the refrigerant storage device 15 at a first preset weight M1 each time, and the number of times the refrigerant is input is recorded until F>F2.

[0094] In the process of adjusting the amount of refrigerant in the system through the refrigerant storage device 15, it is also necessary to detect the amount of refrigerant in the refrigerant storage device 15. When the refrigerant in the refrigerant storage device 15 is too little, the refrigerant is added to the refrigerant storage device 15 through the refrigerant source. When the refrigerant in the refrigerant storage device 15 is too much, the refrigerant in the refrigerant storage device 15 can be drawn out and an alarm is issued. Specifically, firstly, the pressure value F of the refrigerant in the refrigerant storage device 15 is obtained by the second pressure sensor, and then F is compared with the maximum pressure value F1 and the minimum pressure value F2 of the refrigerant in the refrigerant storage device 15. When F≥F1, the alarm device is controlled to send an alarm message, and the fourth valve 171 is controlled to open, and the refrigerant in the refrigerant storage device is periodically discharged into the refrigerant source at the first preset weight M1 each time, and the number of times the refrigerant is discharged n is recorded until F<F1; when F≤F2, the fourth valve 171 is controlled to open and the refrigerant source is periodically input into the refrigerant storage device 15 at the first preset weight M1 each time, and the number of times the refrigerant is input is recorded until F>F2. In this way, the amount of refrigerant discharged / input can be calculated by calculating n×M1, and the amount of refrigerant change in the refrigerant storage device 15 can be obtained by combining the difference between the final amount of refrigerant in the refrigerant storage device 15 and the initial amount of refrigerant.
