The control valve 2 has four valve ports: a first valve port 21, a second valve port 22, a third valve port 23 and a fourth valve port 24, and the four valve ports are respectively connected with the suction port 12 of the compressor 1, the exhaust port 11 of the compressor 1, the inlet of the condenser 3 and the outlet of the evaporator 8 one by one.

[0030] As shown in Figure 1 , the double-circulation refrigeration system realizes compressor mode refrigeration when the control valve 2 is in the first working state; as shown in Figure 2 , the double-circulation refrigeration system realizes fluorine pump mode refrigeration when the control valve 2 is in the second working state. As shown in Figure 1 , in the compressor mode, the first valve port 21 of the control valve 2 in the first working state can be conducted with the fourth valve port 24, and the second valve port 22 can be conducted with the third valve port 23, at this time, the compressor 1, the control valve 2, the condenser 3, the fluorine pump bypass flow path 10, the throttling device 7 and the evaporator 8 can form a compressor refrigeration circuit, and the refrigerant can pass through the exhaust port 11 of the compressor 1-control valve 2 (the second valve port 22-the third valve port 23)-the condenser 3-the bypass valve 6-the throttling device 7-the evaporator 8-control valve 2 (the fourth valve port 24-the first valve port 21)-the suction port 12 of the compressor 1 in sequence. In the compressor mode, the fluorine pump 5 is stopped, and the compressor 1 is started to provide power for the refrigerant running in the compressor refrigeration circuit.

[0031] As shown in Figure 2 , in the fluorine pump mode, the first valve port 21 of the control valve 2 in the second working state can be conducted with the second valve port 22, and the third valve port 23 can be conducted with the fourth valve port 24, at this time, the fluorine pump 5, the throttling device 7, the evaporator 8, the control valve 2 and the condenser 3 can form a fluorine pump refrigeration circuit, and the refrigerant can pass through the outlet of the fluorine pump 5-the throttling device 7-the evaporator 8-control valve 2 (the fourth valve port 24-the third valve port 23)-the condenser 3-the inlet of the fluorine pump 5 in sequence. In the fluorine pump mode, the compressor 1 is stopped, and the fluorine pump 5 is started to provide power for the refrigerant running in the fluorine pump refrigeration circuit.

[0032] As shown in Figure 2 , when the fluorine pump mode is running, the control valve 2 is switched to the second working state to isolate the compressor 1 from the fluorine pump refrigeration circuit, so as to avoid the gas-liquid two-phase state refrigerant discharged from the outlet of the evaporator 8 from entering the suction port 12 of the compressor 1, causing liquid accumulation in the compressor 1 and causing reliability problems of the compressor 1.

[0033] In some example embodiments, the control valve 2 can include a driving element and a valve body, the valve body can include a movable valve core, and the driving element can be connected with the valve core and configured to drive the valve core to move so as to switch the control valve 2 between the first working state and the second working state.

[0034] The driving element can be an electric driving element, which can be electrically connected with a control device of the dual-cycle refrigeration system so that the dual-cycle refrigeration system controls the operation of the electric driving element, and in turn controls the control valve 2 to be in the first working state or the second working state, so as to switch the dual-cycle refrigeration system between the fluorine pump mode and the compressor mode.

[0035] In some example embodiments, the driving element can include a driving motor, which can drive the valve core to rotate or move so as to switch the control valve 2 between the first working state and the second working state.

[0036] In some example embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the bypass valve 6 is a one-way valve, which is configured to be one-way conducted according to the direction from the outlet of the condenser 3 to the inlet of the evaporator 8.

[0037] In some example embodiments, the throttling device 7 can be a throttling valve, such as an electronic expansion valve, and the flow of the refrigerant flowing to the evaporator 8 can be adjusted by controlling the opening of the electronic expansion valve.

[0038] In some example embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the dual-cycle refrigeration system further includes a condenser fan 4 and an evaporator fan 9, the condenser fan 4 is configured to generate an airflow flowing through the condenser 3 when working, and the evaporator fan 9 is configured to generate an airflow flowing through the evaporator 8 when working.

[0039] In some example embodiments, the condenser fan 4 can be arranged on one side of the condenser 3 and used to drive outdoor air to flow through the condenser 3, and the evaporator fan 9 can be arranged on one side of the evaporator 8 and used to drive indoor air to flow through the evaporator 8.

[0040] In some example embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the control valve 2 can be a four-way valve with four valve ports.

[0041] The embodiments of the present application also provide a control method for the dual-cycle refrigeration system provided by any of the above embodiments. As shown in Figure 3 , the control method includes:

[0042] S202: receiving a mode instruction;

[0043] S204: Based on the received mode command being the refrigerant pump mode, the control valve is in the second operating state and the compressor is shut down, and then the refrigerant pump is started; based on the received mode command being the compressor mode, the control valve is in the first operating state and the refrigerant pump is shut down, and then the compressor is started.

[0044] The control method of this application embodiment is used in a dual-cycle refrigeration system including a control valve 2 with four valve ports. When the received mode command is refrigerant pump mode, the control valve 2 is adjusted to a second operating state (e.g., Figure 2 As shown, compressor 1 is isolated from the refrigerant pump refrigeration circuit, and compressor 1 is also controlled to be in a shut-off state before refrigerant pump 5 is started, so that the dual-cycle refrigeration system enters refrigerant pump mode for refrigeration. In this refrigerant pump mode, compressor 1 is stopped, and refrigerant pump 5 starts to provide power for refrigerant operation.

[0045] When the mode command is received as compressor mode, control valve 2 is adjusted to the first operating state (e.g., Figure 1 As shown in the diagram, compressor 1 is connected to the compressor refrigeration circuit at this time, and refrigerant pump 5 is also controlled to be in the off state. Then, compressor 1 is started to put the dual-cycle refrigeration system into compressor mode for refrigeration. In this compressor mode, refrigerant pump 5 is stopped, and compressor 1 is started to provide power for the refrigerant to run.

[0046] In this control method, during the process of controlling the dual-cycle refrigeration system to enter compressor mode or refrigerant pump mode, the control valve 2 is first adjusted to the first working state or the second working state, and the refrigerant pump 5 or compressor 1 is turned off. Then, the compressor 1 or refrigerant pump 5 is started to realize the dual-cycle refrigeration system to enter compressor mode or refrigerant pump mode, thus avoiding the problem of liquid accumulation in compressor 1 and thus affecting the reliability of compressor 1.

[0047] In some exemplary embodiments, the control method further includes: based on the received mode command being a fluorine pump mode, controlling the throttling device to a first preset opening degree before starting the fluorine pump.

[0048] The first preset opening degree can be 10%-50% of the rated opening degree (maximum opening degree of the throttling device 7) of the throttling device 7, such as: the first preset opening degree can be 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50% of the rated opening degree, etc.

[0049] Before starting the refrigerant pump 5 in refrigerant pump mode, control valve 2 can be adjusted to... Figure 2 In the second operating state shown, compressor 1 is turned off, and the throttling device 7 is adjusted to the first preset opening degree before starting the refrigerant pump 5 to achieve successful startup of the refrigerant pump 5. In the refrigerant pump mode, the bypass valve 6 is in the closed state.

[0050] Of course, the first preset opening degree is not limited to 10%-50% of the rated opening degree, and can be adjusted as needed.

[0051] In some example embodiments, the control method further comprises: based on the received mode instruction being the compressor mode, controlling the throttling device to be at the second preset opening degree before starting the compressor.

[0052] The second preset opening degree is 10%-50% of the rated opening degree of the throttling device 7, such as 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, or 50% of the rated opening degree. The first preset opening degree and the second preset opening degree can be equal or unequal.

[0053] Before starting the compressor 1 in the compressor mode, the control valve 2 can be adjusted to Figure 1 the first working state shown in the figure, the fluorine pump 5 is closed, and the throttling device 7 is adjusted to the second preset opening degree, and then the compressor 1 is started, so as to realize the successful start of the compressor 1. In the compressor mode, the bypass valve 6 is in the on state.

[0054] Of course, the second preset opening degree is not limited to 10%-50% of the rated opening degree, and can be adjusted as needed.

[0055] In some example embodiments, the control method further comprises: issuing a mode instruction based on the indoor and outdoor temperature parameters.

[0056] According to the indoor and outdoor temperature parameters (temperature parameters of indoor and outdoor air), the dual-circuit refrigeration system is controlled to enter the fluorine pump mode or the compressor mode, so that when the outdoor temperature is low, the natural cold source outside is used, the fluorine pump 5 is used instead of the compressor 1 to provide power for the refrigerant circulation, the energy consumption of the dual-circuit refrigeration system is reduced, and the energy-saving effect is realized.

[0057] In some example embodiments, the step of issuing a mode instruction based on the indoor and outdoor temperature parameters comprises:

[0058] When the indoor and outdoor temperature parameters satisfy a first preset condition, the issued mode instruction is the fluorine pump mode;

[0059] When the indoor and outdoor temperature parameters satisfy a second preset condition, the issued mode instruction is the compressor mode.

[0060] The first preset condition includes that the outdoor temperature is less than a first preset temperature T1, and the indoor and outdoor temperature difference is greater than a first preset temperature difference ΔT1; and the second preset condition includes that the outdoor temperature is greater than a second preset temperature T2, or the indoor and outdoor temperature difference is less than a second preset temperature difference ΔT2.

[0061] When the outdoor temperature (the temperature of outdoor air) is low and the indoor-outdoor temperature difference (the temperature difference between indoor air and outdoor air) is large, the double-cycle refrigeration system can be controlled to enter the fluorine pump mode so as to make full use of the natural cold source of the outdoor to cool the indoor, and since the power of the fluorine pump 5 is far less than the power of the compressor 1, the power consumption of the double-cycle refrigeration system can be significantly reduced, thus achieving a significant energy-saving effect.

[0062] When the outdoor temperature is high or the indoor-outdoor temperature difference is small, the natural cold source of the outdoor cannot be used to cool the indoor, and therefore the double-cycle refrigeration system can be controlled to enter the compressor mode so as to use the work of the compressor 1 to achieve refrigeration.

[0063] The double-cycle refrigeration system of the embodiments of the present application can mainly adopt the compressor mode when the outdoor temperature is high in summer and mainly adopt the fluorine pump mode when the outdoor temperature is low in winter, thus achieving the purposes of energy saving and emission reduction.

[0064] In some example embodiments, T1 < T2.

[0065] T1 < T2 can avoid frequent switching of the double-cycle refrigeration system between the fluorine pump mode and the compressor mode, so that the double-cycle refrigeration system runs smoothly.

[0066] In some example embodiments, ΔT1 > ΔT2.

[0067] ΔT1 is large, i.e., the indoor-outdoor temperature difference is large, and the natural cold source of the outdoor can be used to cool the indoor; ΔT2 is small, i.e., the indoor-outdoor temperature difference is large, and the natural cold source of the outdoor cannot be used to cool the indoor, but the work of the compressor 1 is used to achieve refrigeration.

[0068] In some example embodiments, the value range of T1 is 0-10℃, the value range of ΔT1 is 20℃-30℃, the value range of the difference between T2 and T1 is 1℃-10℃, and the value range of the difference between ΔT1 and ΔT2 is 1℃-10℃.

[0069] The value range of T1 can be 0-10℃, such as 1℃, 2℃, 3℃, 4℃, 5℃, 6℃, 7℃, 8℃, 9℃, 10℃, etc.

[0070] The value range of ΔT1 can be 20℃-30℃, such as 20℃, 21℃, 22℃, 23℃, 24℃, 25℃, 26℃, 27℃, 28℃, 29℃, 30℃, etc.

[0071] The value range of the difference between T2 and T1 can be 1℃-10℃, i.e., the value range of T2 is 1℃-20℃, such as 1℃, 3℃, 5℃, 8℃, 10℃, 12℃, 15℃, 18℃, 20℃, etc.

[0072] The difference between ΔT1 and ΔT2 is in the range of 1℃-10℃, that is, the value of ΔT2 is in the range of 10℃-29℃, for example, the value of ΔT2 can be 10℃, 13℃, 15℃, 18℃, 20℃, 22℃, 25℃, 27℃, 29℃, etc.

[0073] It should be understood that the value range of T1, T2, ΔT1 and ΔT2 is not limited to the above, and can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0074] The embodiment of the present application also provides a control device, comprising a processor and a memory storing a computer program, and the processor implements the steps of the control method provided by any of the above embodiments when executing the computer program.

[0075] The processor can be an integrated circuit chip with a processing capability of signals. The processor described above can be a general processor, including a central processing unit (CPU), a network processor (NP), etc.; or can be a digital signal processor (DSP), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a ready programmable gate array (FPGA) or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, discrete hardware components. The disclosed methods, steps and logic block diagrams in the embodiments of the present application can be implemented or executed by the processor. The general processor can be a microprocessor or the processor can also be any conventional processor.

[0076] The embodiment of the present application also provides a computer readable storage medium storing a computer program, and the computer program is executed by the processor to implement the control method provided by any of the above embodiments.

[0077] In summary, the double-circulation refrigeration system provided by the embodiment of the present application mainly comprises a compressor 1, a fluorine pump 5, an evaporator 8, a condenser 3, a throttling device 7, a control valve 2, a bypass valve 6, etc. When the control valve 2 is in the first working state (as shown in Figure 1 ), the compressor mode refrigeration is realized, and when the control valve 2 is in the second working state (as shown in Figure 2 ), the fluorine pump mode refrigeration is realized.

[0078] In the compressor mode, the refrigerant flows through the compressor 1, the control valve 2, the condenser 3, the bypass valve 6, the throttling device 7, the evaporator 8, the control valve 2 and the compressor 1 in sequence. In the fluorine pump mode, the refrigerant flows through the fluorine pump 5, the throttling device 7, the evaporator 8, the control valve 2, the condenser 3 and the fluorine pump 5 in sequence. The compressor 1 and the fluorine pump 5 can drive the refrigerant to circulate in the closed compressor refrigeration circuit and the fluorine pump refrigeration circuit, thereby forming a double-circulation refrigeration system. The evaporator 8 and the evaporating fan 9 are arranged on the indoor side, and the evaporator 8 is used to absorb heat in the room. The condenser 3 and the condensing fan 4 are arranged on the outdoor side, and the condenser 3 is used to dissipate the heat absorbed by the evaporator 8 to the environment outside the room.

[0079] When the outdoor temperature < T1 and the indoor-outdoor temperature difference > ΔT1, the compressor 1 is closed, the control valve 2 is switched to the second working state, the throttling device 7 is opened to the initial opening degree (the first preset opening degree) of the fluorine pump mode, and the fluorine pump 5 is started, so as to realize the switching from the compressor mode to the fluorine pump mode (or the fluorine pump mode from the standby mode).

[0080] When the outdoor temperature > T2 or the indoor-outdoor temperature difference < ΔT2, the fluorine pump 5 is closed, the control valve 2 is switched to the first working state, the throttling device 7 is opened to the initial opening degree (the second preset opening degree) of the compressor mode, and the compressor 1 is started, so as to realize the switching from the fluorine pump mode to the compressor mode (or the compressor mode from the standby mode). Wherein, T1 < T2, ΔT1 > ΔT2.

[0081] In addition to the compressor mode and the fluorine pump mode, the double-circulation refrigeration system can also have a mixed mode. In the mixed mode, the bypass valve 6 is in the closed state, and the control valve 2 is in the first working state. At this time, the compressor 1, the control valve 2, the condenser 3, the fluorine pump 5, the throttling device 7 and the evaporator 8 form a mixed refrigeration circuit, and the refrigerant can flow through the exhaust port 11 of the compressor 1, the second valve port 22 of the control valve 2, the third valve port 23 of the control valve 2, the condenser 3, the fluorine pump 5, the throttling device 7, the evaporator 8, the fourth valve port 24 of the control valve 2, the first valve port 21 of the control valve 2 and the suction port 12 of the compressor 1 in sequence. In the mixed mode, the fluorine pump 5 and the compressor 1 are both started, part of the outdoor natural cold source is utilized, the fluorine pump 5 can compensate the circulating power of the refrigerant in the mixed refrigeration circuit, reduce the pressure loss of the refrigerant in the circulating process, make the compressor 1 work in the best working condition, reduce the energy consumption of the compressor 1, improve the refrigeration efficiency, and have a certain energy-saving effect.
