In the variable frequency control technology, the frequency converter is usually an "AC to DC to AC" circuit structure, and its working principle is that AC power passes through a rectifier filter circuit to obtain DC power, and then the DC power passes through an inverter circuit DC chopper system to modulate the output frequency of the AC power to drive the variable frequency compressor to operate.

[0003] However, the inverter power device switch (such as IGBT (Insulate-Gate Bipolar Transistor, Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor)) frequency (i.e. PWM carrier frequency) of the inverter circuit DC chopper system in the frequency converter is fixed, so when the compressor operates at a lower operating frequency, the number of carriers in a single electrical cycle is large, the inverter power device switch loss and electromagnetic harmonic interference are large; when the compressor operates at a higher operating frequency, the number of carriers in a single electrical cycle is small, and the compressor carrier ratio is in an undesirable state, which causes the compressor control performance to decline.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure belongs. The terminology used in the specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.

[0029] It can be understood that in the specific embodiments of the present application, relevant data is involved, and when the embodiments in the present application are applied to specific products or technologies, the permission or consent of the user needs to be obtained, and the collection, use and processing of relevant data need to comply with relevant laws, regulations and standards of countries and regions.

[0030] Figure 1 A flowchart of an air conditioner variable frequency control method according to an embodiment of the present application is schematically shown. The execution subject of the air conditioner variable frequency control method can be any air conditioner with processing capability.

[0031] As shown in Figure 1 The air conditioner variable frequency control method can include steps S110 to S140.

[0032] Step S110, adaptive variable load frequency data is obtained, the adaptive variable load frequency data includes a plurality of operating frequency intervals and the basic carrier frequency and the upper and lower limits of the carrier frequency corresponding to each operating frequency interval;

[0033] Step S120, the basic carrier frequency and the upper and lower limits of the carrier frequency corresponding to the operating frequency interval where the actual operating frequency of the variable frequency compressor is located are determined, and the target carrier frequency and the target carrier frequency upper and lower limits are obtained;

[0034] Step S130, based on the target carrier frequency, the variable frequency compressor is controlled to operate, and after the variable frequency compressor operates for a predetermined length of time, the external environment temperature, system pressure, intelligent power module temperature and electric control box temperature are obtained;

[0035] Step S140, according to the external environment temperature, system pressure, intelligent power module temperature and electric control box temperature, the output carrier frequency is calculated within the target carrier frequency upper and lower limits to control the variable frequency compressor to operate.

[0036] The adaptive variable carrier frequency data is preset data, and the adaptive variable carrier frequency data includes a plurality of operating frequency intervals and a basic carrier frequency and a carrier frequency upper and lower limit corresponding to each operating frequency interval. For example, as shown in the following table, the adaptive variable carrier frequency data includes different operating frequency intervals [F1, F2], [F3, F4], etc., the basic carrier frequency corresponding to the operating frequency interval [F1, F2] is Fz1, and the carrier frequency upper and lower limit corresponding to the operating frequency interval [F1, F2] is [Fmax1, Fmin1].

[0037]

[0038] Wherein, the operating frequency refers to the operating frequency of the compressor, the carrier frequency refers to the carrier frequency of the inverter circuit direct current chopper system in the frequency converter, and the basic carrier frequency and the carrier frequency upper and lower limit corresponding to each operating frequency interval can be the optimal selection corresponding to each operating frequency interval obtained by experimental test in advance.

[0039] The variable frequency compressor can determine its actual operating frequency during operation, determine the operating frequency interval in which the actual operating frequency is located, and determine the basic carrier frequency and the carrier frequency upper and lower limit corresponding to the operating frequency interval in which the actual operating frequency is located as the target carrier frequency and the target carrier frequency upper and lower limit. Whenever the actual operating frequency of the variable frequency compressor changes to a different operating frequency interval, the target carrier frequency and the target carrier frequency upper and lower limit can be determined.

[0040] The variable frequency compressor is controlled based on the target carrier frequency, and after the variable frequency compressor operates for a predetermined time length, the external environment temperature, the system pressure, the intelligent power module temperature and the temperature of the electric control box of the air conditioner are obtained. The predetermined time length can be set according to the actual situation. The variable frequency compressor is controlled based on the target carrier frequency, and specifically, the inverter circuit direct current chopper system in the frequency converter samples the target carrier frequency to modulate the output of alternating current to drive the variable frequency compressor to operate.

[0041] The external environment temperature can be the temperature of the environment space (such as indoor temperature) where the air conditioner is located. The system pressure can be the related pressure of the compressor in the air conditioner system (such as the compressor suction pressure or the compressor discharge pressure, etc.). The intelligent power module temperature refers to the temperature of the intelligent power module (IPM: Intelligent Power Module). The temperature of the electric control box refers to the temperature of the electric control box.

[0042] Further, according to the external environment temperature, system pressure, intelligent power module temperature and electric control box temperature, the output carrier frequency is calculated within the upper and lower limits of the target carrier frequency, so as to further control the operation of the variable frequency compressor according to the output carrier frequency, and the output carrier frequency can be limited within the upper and lower limits of the target carrier frequency. Specifically, according to the external environment temperature, system pressure, intelligent power module temperature and electric control box temperature, an output value can be calculated, if the output value is greater than or equal to the lower limit value of the upper and lower limits of the target carrier frequency and less than or equal to the upper limit value of the upper and lower limits of the target carrier frequency, the output value is the output carrier frequency; if the output value is less than the lower limit value of the upper and lower limits of the target carrier frequency, the lower limit value is the output carrier frequency; if the output value is greater than the upper limit value of the upper and lower limits of the target carrier frequency, the upper limit value is the output carrier frequency. Thus, the output carrier frequency can be limited within the upper and lower limits of the target carrier frequency.

[0043] Overall, the air conditioner variable frequency control method of the embodiment of the application realizes a dynamic self-optimizing variable carrier frequency variable frequency drive control method, which can effectively adjust the carrier frequency according to the actual operating frequency of the compressor and the related operating conditions in the air conditioner to drive the compressor to operate, effectively reduce the switching loss and electromagnetic harmonic interference of the inverter power device, and improve the control performance of the variable frequency compressor. Overall, the reliability of the air conditioning system is effectively improved, and the user experience is improved.

[0044] The following describes Figure 1 When the air conditioner variable frequency control is performed in the embodiment, further optional specific embodiments of each step are performed.

[0045] In one embodiment, the external environment temperature and the output carrier frequency have a positive regulation relationship, and the system pressure and the output carrier frequency have a positive regulation relationship; the intelligent power module temperature and the output carrier frequency have a negative regulation relationship, and the electric control box temperature and the output carrier frequency have a negative regulation relationship.

[0046] The external environment temperature and the output carrier frequency have a positive regulation relationship, and the system pressure and the output carrier frequency have a positive regulation relationship, that is, the output carrier frequency increases when the external environment temperature and the system pressure rise; the intelligent power module temperature and the output carrier frequency have a negative regulation relationship, and the electric control box temperature and the output carrier frequency have a negative regulation relationship, that is, the output carrier frequency decreases when the intelligent power module temperature and the electric control box temperature rise. In this way, the variable frequency drive reliability of the output carrier frequency for the compressor can be effectively guaranteed.

[0047] Further, in one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , the output carrier frequency is calculated within the upper and lower limits of the target carrier frequency according to the external environment temperature, system pressure, intelligent power module temperature and electric control box temperature, so as to control the operation of the variable frequency compressor, which can specifically include:

[0048] In step S210, a current first output value is calculated according to the ambient temperature, the ambient temperature control base and the ambient temperature adjustment weight coefficient, and is superimposed with a historical first output value to obtain an ambient temperature adjustment output value.

[0049] In step S220, a current second output value is calculated according to the system pressure, the system pressure control base and the system pressure adjustment weight coefficient, and is superimposed with a historical second output value to obtain a system pressure adjustment output value.

[0050] In step S230, a current third output value is calculated according to the intelligent power module temperature, the power module temperature control base and the power module temperature adjustment weight coefficient, and is superimposed with a historical third output value to obtain an intelligent power module temperature adjustment output value.

[0051] In step S240, a current fourth output value is calculated according to the electric control box temperature, the electric control box temperature control base and the electric control box temperature adjustment weight coefficient, and is superimposed with a historical fourth output value to obtain an electric control box temperature adjustment output value.

[0052] In step S250, the ambient temperature adjustment output value and the system pressure adjustment output value are summed, and the intelligent power module temperature adjustment output value and the electric control box temperature adjustment output value are subtracted to obtain a current output carrier frequency, which is superimposed with a historical output carrier frequency to obtain the output carrier frequency.

[0053] Each time the actual operating frequency of the variable frequency compressor changes to a different operating frequency interval, the ambient temperature, the system pressure, the intelligent power module temperature and the electric control box temperature of the current time are triggered to obtain the output carrier frequency within the target carrier frequency upper and lower limits.

[0054] Each time, the current first output value is calculated according to the ambient temperature of the current time and the preset ambient temperature control base and ambient temperature adjustment weight coefficient, and the current first output value is superimposed with the historical first output value calculated before to obtain the ambient temperature adjustment output value of the current time.

[0055] Each time, the current second output value is calculated according to the system pressure of the current time and the preset system pressure control base and system pressure adjustment weight coefficient, and the current second output value is superimposed with the historical second output value to obtain the system pressure adjustment output value of the current time.

[0056] Each time, the current third output value is calculated according to the intelligent power module temperature of the current time and the preset power module temperature control base and power module temperature adjustment weight coefficient, and the current third output value is superimposed with the historical third output value to obtain the intelligent power module temperature adjustment output value.

[0057] Each time, the current fourth output value is obtained according to the current time electrical cabinet temperature, the preset electrical cabinet temperature control base and the electrical cabinet temperature adjustment weight coefficient, and the current fourth output value is superimposed with the historical fourth output value to obtain the electrical cabinet temperature adjustment output value.

[0058] Finally, the outer ring temperature adjustment output value and the system pressure adjustment output value are summed, and the intelligent power module temperature adjustment output value and the electrical cabinet temperature adjustment output value are subtracted to obtain the current output carrier frequency, and the historical output carrier frequency is superimposed to obtain the final output carrier frequency, so that the reliability of the output carrier frequency for the variable frequency drive control of the compressor can be further effectively ensured.

[0059] For example, the nth output carrier frequency Foutn can be obtained based on the formula Foutn=Fout(m)+Fw+Fp-Fipm-Fbox, wherein Fw refers to the outer ring temperature adjustment output value, Fp refers to the system pressure adjustment output value, Fipm refers to the intelligent power module temperature adjustment output value, Fbox refers to the electrical cabinet temperature adjustment output value, and Fout(m) refers to the historical output carrier frequency calculated before the nth time.

[0060] Further, in an embodiment, the calculation of the current first output value according to the outer environment temperature, the outer ring temperature control base and the outer ring temperature adjustment weight coefficient and the superimposition of the historical first output value to obtain the outer ring temperature adjustment output value can include:

[0061] According to the formula The nth current first output value is calculated and superimposed with the historical first output value of the previous n-1 times to obtain the outer ring temperature adjustment output value, wherein Fw refers to the outer ring temperature adjustment output value, Tw refers to the outer environment temperature, Twb refers to the outer ring temperature control base, Kw refers to the outer ring temperature adjustment weight coefficient, and k refers to the kth time before the nth time.

[0062] According to the formula, the nth current first output value (Tw-Twb)*Kw can be calculated, and the historical first output value (Tw-Twb)*Kw of the previous n-1 times (k=0 to k=n-1 times) is superimposed to obtain the outer ring temperature adjustment output value Fw, which can be reliably used for adaptive optimization to obtain the output carrier frequency.

[0063] Further, in an embodiment, the calculation of the current second output value according to the system pressure, the system pressure control base and the system pressure adjustment weight coefficient and the superimposition of the historical second output value to obtain the system pressure adjustment output value can include:

[0064] According to the formula The current second output value of the nth time is calculated and superimposed with the historical second output values of the previous n-1 times to obtain a system pressure regulating output value, wherein Fp represents the system pressure regulating output value, P represents the system pressure, Pb represents the system pressure control base, Kp represents the system pressure regulating weight coefficient, and k represents the kth time before the nth time.

[0065] According to the formula, the current second output value (P-Pb)*Kp of the nth time can be calculated, and the system pressure regulating output value Fp can be obtained by superimposing the historical second output values (P-Pb)*Kp of the previous n-1 times (k=0 to k=n-1 times). According to the system pressure regulating output value Fp, the output carrier frequency can be reliably obtained by adaptive optimization.

[0066] Further, in an embodiment, the current third output value is calculated according to the intelligent power module temperature, the power module temperature control base, and the power module temperature regulating weight coefficient, and the historical third output value is superimposed to obtain an intelligent power module temperature regulating output value, which can include:

[0067] According to the formula The current third output value of the nth time is calculated and superimposed with the historical third output values of the previous n-1 times to obtain an intelligent power module temperature regulating output value, wherein Fipm represents the intelligent power module temperature regulating output value, Tipm represents the intelligent power module temperature, Tipmb represents the power module temperature control base, Kipm represents the power module temperature regulating weight coefficient, and k represents the kth time before the nth time.

[0068] According to the formula, the current third output value (Tipm-Tipmb)*Kipm of the nth time can be calculated, and the intelligent power module temperature regulating output value Fipm can be obtained by superimposing the historical third output values (Tipm-Tipmb)*Kipm of the previous n-1 times (k=0 to k=n-1 times). According to the intelligent power module temperature regulating output value Fipm, the output carrier frequency can be reliably obtained by adaptive optimization.

[0069] Further, in an embodiment, the current fourth output value is calculated according to the electric control box temperature, the electric control box temperature control base, and the electric control box temperature regulating weight coefficient, and the historical fourth output value is superimposed to obtain an electric control box temperature regulating output value, which can include:

[0071] According to the formula, the current fourth output value of the nth time (Tbox-Tboxb)*Kbox can be calculated, and the historical fourth output value of the previous n-1 times (k=0 to k=n-1 times) (Tbox-Tboxb)*Kbox is superimposed to obtain the electric cabinet temperature adjustment output value Fbox, and the electric cabinet temperature adjustment output value Fbox can be reliably used for adaptive optimization to obtain the output carrier frequency.
