[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] To address the problem that existing air conditioners with dual-stage compression cannot maintain an efficient state of enthalpy enhancement through gas replenishment, this invention provides a control method for an air conditioner.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the control method of the air conditioner includes starting the air conditioner, the air conditioner running a first working mode, and controlling the first electronic control valve 30 on the connecting pipeline between the first interface of the flash evaporator 10 and the air supply port of the compressor 20 to open and close according to the first control logic; and / or starting the air conditioner, the air conditioner running a second working mode, and controlling the first electronic control valve 30 on the connecting pipeline between the first interface of the flash evaporator 10 and the air supply port of the compressor 20 to open and close according to the second control logic.

[0027] By using the first electronic control valve 30 on the connecting pipeline between the first interface of the flash evaporator 10 and the air supply port of the compressor 20, the air supply flow of the air conditioner is adjusted by opening and closing the first electronic control valve 30, so as to ensure that the air supply volume of the two-stage compression is sufficient, thereby ensuring the air supply operation efficiency of the two-stage compression, and thus improving the comfort of the air conditioner.

[0028] It should be noted that in this application, the compressor 20 is a two-stage compressor, and the first electronic control valve 30 is a valve-closed, flow-free valve body, that is, when the opening of the first electronic control valve 30 is closed to the minimum opening, the flow rate passing through it is 0.

[0029] Considering the control of the replenishment air volume, it is theoretically related to the suction and discharge pressures of compressor 20, and also to the volume ratio of the first and second stage compression cylinders of compressor 20. In practical engineering applications of small household air conditioners, it is uneconomical to set up suction and discharge pressure sensors to monitor the system pressure in order to consider the cost-effectiveness of the product. This application uses the first electronic control valve 30 to adjust the replenishment air flow of the two-stage compressor, solving the problem of insufficient replenishment air volume adjustment of compressor 20, and also realizing the dynamic adjustment of the replenishment air flow of compressor 20 to achieve efficient operation under all working conditions, improving the replenishment air operation efficiency of the two-stage compressor, thereby improving the comfort of the air conditioner. Based on the adjustment of the intermediate replenishment enthalpy flow of the two-stage compressor, this application effectively improves the operating efficiency of the two-stage compression system, improves the low-temperature heating effect, and improves the comfort of the air conditioner, as detailed below:

[0030] It should be noted that, in this application, when the air conditioner operates in the first working mode, and the first working mode is the cooling mode, the first control logic is to detect the outdoor ambient temperature T. 外环 The first preset condition is met, and the operating frequency F of compressor 20 is... 频When the second preset condition is met, the first electronic control valve 30 is switched from the closed state to the open state according to the first control logic; otherwise, the first electronic control valve 30 remains in the closed state; and / or, when the air conditioner operates in the second working mode, and the second working mode is the heating mode, the second control logic detects the outdoor ambient temperature T. 外环 The third preset condition is met, and the operating frequency F of compressor 20 is... 频 When the fourth preset condition is met, the first electronic control valve 30 is switched from the closed state to the open state according to the second control logic; otherwise, the first electronic control valve 30 remains in the closed state. This ensures the reliability of the air supply adjustment in different operating modes of the air conditioner, as well as the overall operational reliability of the air conditioner.

[0031] Furthermore, when the air conditioner is running in cooling mode, as the outdoor ambient temperature or the operating frequency of compressor 20 increases, the compression ratio of compressor 20 increases, thus increasing the required amount of supplementary gas. Similarly, when the air conditioner is running in heating mode, the lower the outdoor ambient temperature or the higher the operating frequency of compressor 20, the greater the required amount of supplementary gas. Increasing the amount of supplementary gas can effectively reduce the power consumption of compressor 20 and improve its efficiency, thereby improving the energy efficiency of the air conditioner. Of course, increasing the amount of supplementary gas will reduce the flow rate into the evaporator (indoor heat exchanger 40) for cooling, thus reducing the cooling capacity. Therefore, controlling the supplementary gas flow rate is also of great significance. As mentioned above, the required amount of supplementary gas is related to the suction pressure and discharge pressure of compressor 20, and also to the volume ratio of the first-stage and second-stage compression cylinders of compressor 20. In the absence of detectable suction and discharge pressures, the pipe temperature of evaporator (indoor heat exchanger 40) and condenser (outdoor heat exchanger 50) can be used to approximate the pressure on the low-pressure side and high-pressure side of the air conditioner. The specific control logic is as follows:

[0032] Detecting the outdoor ambient temperature T during air conditioner operation 外环 1. Evaporator (indoor heat exchanger 40) pipe temperature T 内管 The pipe temperature T of the condenser (outdoor heat exchanger 50) 外管 The operating frequency F of compressor 20 频The output parameters are the opening degree K1 of the first electronic control valve 30, the opening degree K2 of the second electronic control valve 70, and the opening degree K3 of the third electronic control valve 80. When the air conditioner is running in cooling mode, the opening degree K2 of the second electronic control valve 70 is set to the maximum, and the opening degree K3 of the third electronic control valve 80 is controlled according to the existing target exhaust control logic. When the air conditioner is running in heating mode, the opening degree K3 of the third electronic control valve 80 is set to the maximum, and the opening degree K2 of the second electronic control valve 70 is controlled according to the existing target exhaust control logic. This will not be elaborated on here. In addition, when the compressor is detected to be in a closed state, the opening degree K1 of the first electronic control valve 30 is 0, that is, the first electronic control valve 30 is closed, so as to facilitate the rapid establishment of pressure difference in the compressor 20 and prevent liquid refrigerant from entering the air inlet of the compressor 20 when the air conditioner is turned on. The following describes the control of the opening degree K1 of the first electronic control valve 30.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, when the air conditioner operates in the first working mode, and the first working mode is cooling mode, the first preset condition is T. 外环 ≥T1, where T1 is the first preset value, and the value of T1 ranges from 20℃ to 40℃; the second preset condition is F. 频 ≥F1, where F1 is the second preset value, and F1 is calculated using the formula F1=80-A×T 外环 , where A is a coefficient, and the value of A ranges from 0.9 to 1.1.

[0034] Preferably, T1 is 35°C and A is 1.05.

[0035] It should be noted that, in this application, when the air conditioner controls the opening and closing of the first electronic control valve 30 according to the first control logic, and the air conditioner is running in cooling mode, the calculation formula for the opening degree K1 of the first electronic control valve 30 is K1 = K ac ×T 内管 +K bc ×T 外管 +K fc ×K v ×F 频 +D c Among them, K ac K bc K fc All are coefficients, and K ac K bc K fc The values ​​of T all range from -5 to 5; 内管 The tube temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is 40°C, T 外管 The tube temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger is 50 K. v D represents the volume ratio of the primary and secondary compression cylinders of compressor 20.c It is a constant, and D c The value range is -100 to 200.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, when the air conditioner is operating in the second working mode, and the second working mode is the heating mode, the third preset condition is T. 外环 ≤T2, where T2 is the third preset value, and the value of T2 ranges from 0 to 10℃; the fourth preset condition is F. 频 ≥F2, where F2 is the fourth preset value, and the value range of F2 is 30Hz~50Hz.

[0037] Preferably, T2 is 5°C and F2 is 40Hz.

[0038] It should be noted that, in this application, when the air conditioner controls the opening and closing of the first electronic control valve 30's opening degree K1 according to the second control logic, and the air conditioner is operating in heating mode, the calculation formula for the opening degree K1 of the first electronic control valve 30 is K1 = K ah ×T 内管 +K bh ×T 外管 +K fh ×K v ×F 频 +D h Among them, K ah K bh K fh All are coefficients, and K ah K bh K fh The rounding range is -5 to 5; T 内管 The tube temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is 40°C, T 外管 The tube temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger is 50 K. v D represents the volume ratio of the primary and secondary compression cylinders of compressor 20. h It is a constant, and D h The value range is -100 to 200.

[0039] It should be noted that, in this application, all the above coefficients were obtained based on experimental fitting.

[0040] It should be noted that, in this application, the control parameters in the calculation formula for the opening degree K1 of the first electronic control valve 30 include the pipe temperature T of the indoor heat exchanger 40. 内管 The pipe temperature T of the outdoor heat exchanger is 50. 外管 The operating frequency F of compressor 20 频 Furthermore, the control parameters change periodically.

[0041] Optionally, the change period of the control parameter is t0, where the value of t0 ranges from 5s to 60s.

[0042] Preferably, t0 is 30s.

[0043] Optionally, the control parameters are based on the operating frequency F of the compressor 20. 频 The change in quantity is periodic, and the operating frequency F 频 The change exceeds the fifth preset value F k At that time, the control parameters change periodically, among which the fifth preset value F k The value range is 2Hz to 10Hz.

[0044] Preferably, the fifth preset value F k The value is 4Hz.

[0045] It should be noted that, in this application, the reason for setting the control parameters to change periodically is explained here: For example, according to the currently read parameters, the calculated opening degree K1 is 200 steps, but the parameters read at the next moment may calculate it to be 201 steps. If the opening degree K1 of the first electronic control valve 30 is constantly adjusted and updated, the opening degree K1 may fluctuate back and forth due to the existence of critical parameters, resulting in system control fluctuations. Therefore, the update period t0 time or frequency change exceeds F k The parameters read once are updated, thereby updating the control parameters of the first electronic control valve 30.

[0046] It should be noted that in this application, when the air conditioner is running in the third working mode, the opening degree K1 of the first electronic control valve 30 is in the closed state; when the air conditioner exits the third working mode and runs in the first working mode, the first electronic control valve 30 performs opening and closing according to the first control logic; or, when the air conditioner exits the third working mode and runs in the second working mode, the first electronic control valve 30 performs opening and closing according to the second control logic.

[0047] Furthermore, the aforementioned third working mode can be a defrosting mode, an oil return mode, etc.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, when the air conditioner is operating in the first working mode, the exhaust port of the compressor 20 is connected to the first interface of the outdoor heat exchanger 50 through the switching of the four-way valve 60, the second interface of the outdoor heat exchanger 50 is connected to the second interface of the flash evaporator 10, the third interface of the flash evaporator 10 is connected to the first interface of the indoor heat exchanger 40, and the second interface of the indoor heat exchanger 40 is connected to the suction port of the compressor 20 through the switching of the four-way valve 60; and / or, when the air conditioner is operating in the second working mode, the exhaust port of the compressor 20 is connected to the second interface of the indoor heat exchanger 40 through the switching of the four-way valve 60, the first interface of the indoor heat exchanger 40 is connected to the third interface of the flash evaporator 10, the second interface of the flash evaporator 10 is connected to the second interface of the outdoor heat exchanger 50, and the first interface of the outdoor heat exchanger 50 is connected to the suction port of the compressor 20 through the switching of the four-way valve 60.

[0049] Furthermore, a second electronic control valve 70 is provided on the connecting pipe between the outdoor heat exchanger 50 and the flash evaporator 10; and / or, a third electronic control valve 80 is provided on the connecting pipe between the flash evaporator 10 and the indoor heat exchanger 40.
