[0016] The technical solution in the present application will be described clearly and in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B: "and / or" in the text is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, "multiple" means two or more than two.

[0017] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as suggesting or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0018] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of a refrigeration device provided in an embodiment of the present application. When the refrigeration device is running, the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is compressed into a high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant through a compressor, so that the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant releases heat more effectively in the condenser, thereby improving the refrigeration efficiency. For a fixed-frequency compressor, its speed is fixed, that is, it runs at a set frequency, while a variable-frequency compressor adjusts the speed of the compressor by changing the frequency of the alternating current supplied to the compressor through a variable-frequency module, that is, the speed of the compressor is controlled by the variable-frequency module.

[0019] When the inverter module controls the compressor to run at a certain speed, the semiconductor devices (such as IGBT) used inside the inverter module convert DC power into AC power by fast switching. During the switching operation, the devices will have a certain switching loss and generate heat. The higher the speed of the compressor, the higher the switching frequency of the semiconductor devices of the inverter module, the greater the switching loss, and the more heat is generated. If the inverter module always controls the operation of the compressor when the module temperature is high, the performance of the components inside the inverter module will be reduced, and in serious cases, the inverter module will be damaged.

[0020] Based on this, the present application proposes a method for controlling the operation of a compressor. When the refrigeration equipment controls the compressor to perform refrigeration, the first module temperature of the frequency conversion module is obtained when the frequency conversion module controls the compressor to operate at a first speed. The temperature change trend of the frequency conversion module is determined based on the first module temperature. When the temperature change trend is determined to be an upward trend, the compressor is controlled to operate at a second speed. When the temperature change trend is determined to be a downward trend, the compressor is controlled to operate at a third speed, wherein the second speed is less than the first speed and the third speed is greater than the first speed. When the temperature change trend is an upward trend, the speed of the compressor is controlled to be reduced, and the heat generated when the frequency conversion module controls the compressor to operate is reduced, thereby preventing the module temperature of the frequency conversion module from further rising; and when it is determined that the module temperature of the frequency conversion module is showing a downward trend, the speed of the compressor is increased to prevent the compressor from being in a low-power state all the time, thereby protecting the frequency conversion module while controlling the compressor to operate efficiently.

[0021] based on Figure 1 The structural diagram shown below will be combined with Figure 2-Figure 4 , the control method for the operation of the compressor provided in an embodiment of the present application is introduced in detail.

[0022] See also Figure 2 , is a flow chart of a method for controlling the operation of a compressor provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the method of the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps S101-S104.

[0023] S101, obtaining a first module temperature of a frequency conversion module when the frequency conversion module controls the compressor to operate at a first speed;

[0024] Specifically, when the frequency conversion module controls the compressor to run at the first speed, there will be certain switching losses when the semiconductor devices (such as IGBT) in the frequency conversion module convert direct current into alternating current by means of fast switching. These losses will be converted into heat, causing the temperature of the frequency conversion module to rise. The first temperature is the temperature of the frequency conversion module when the compressor is controlled to run at the first speed, which can be obtained by the temperature detection component.

[0025] Optionally, the temperature detection component can be a chip thermistor. The resistance value of the chip thermistor is related to the temperature of its installation position, so after obtaining the resistance of the chip thermistor, the first module temperature in the frequency conversion module can be obtained, wherein the chip thermistor can be placed near the position of the semiconductor device IGBT in the frequency conversion module. It can be understood that the heat generated in the frequency conversion module is mainly generated when the direct current is converted into alternating current through the IGBT. Therefore, by placing the chip thermistor near the semiconductor device IGBT, the first module temperature of the frequency conversion module can be accurately obtained when the frequency conversion module controls the compressor to run at the first speed.

[0026] S102, determining a temperature change trend of the frequency conversion module based on the temperature of the first module;

[0027] In one embodiment, the temperature detection component is used to obtain the first module temperature of the frequency conversion module when multiple frequency conversion modules control the compressor to operate at a first speed, and then the temperature change trend of the frequency conversion module is determined according to the multiple first module temperatures.

[0028] S103, if the temperature change trend is an upward trend, controlling the compressor to operate at a second speed;

[0029] Specifically, when it is determined that the temperature change trend is an upward trend, it means that the frequency conversion module generates a large amount of heat when controlling the compressor to operate at the first speed, causing the module temperature of the frequency conversion module to rise. In order to prevent the module temperature of the frequency conversion module from continuing to rise and reduce the operating performance of the frequency conversion module, it is necessary to reduce the speed of the compressor, that is, control the compressor to operate at the second speed. It is understandable that in the embodiment of the present application, by reducing the speed of the compressor, the frequency of the switching operation performed by the switching element in the frequency conversion module is correspondingly reduced, which can effectively reduce the generated heat and thereby reduce the temperature of the frequency conversion control module.

[0030] Optionally, the second rotational speed may be a preset rotational speed, which is a lower rotational speed when the compressor is running.

[0031] S104: If the temperature change trend is a downward trend, control the compressor to operate at a third speed, where the second speed is less than the first speed and the third speed is greater than the first speed.

[0032] In one embodiment, when it is determined that the temperature change trend is a downward trend, it means that the load of the frequency conversion module is light and the heat generated is small. The compressor can be controlled to operate at a third speed, the speed of the compressor can be increased, and the operating power of the compressor can be improved.

[0033] Optionally, the third speed may be an operating speed of the compressor corresponding to a set cooling capacity.

[0034] In an embodiment of the present application, when the temperature change trend is an upward trend, the speed of the compressor is controlled to be reduced, thereby reducing the heat generated by the frequency conversion module when controlling the operation of the compressor, thereby preventing the module temperature of the frequency conversion module from further increasing; and when it is determined that the module temperature of the frequency conversion module shows a downward trend, the speed of the compressor is increased to prevent the compressor from being in a low-power state all the time, thereby protecting the frequency conversion module while controlling the efficient operation of the compressor.

[0035] See also Figure 3 , is a flow chart of a method for controlling the operation of a compressor provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3As shown, the method of the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps S201-S206.

[0036] S201, obtaining a second module temperature of the frequency conversion module when the frequency conversion module controls the compressor to operate at a maximum speed;

[0037] In one embodiment, the frequency conversion module controls the compressor to run at a maximum speed, and the temperature of the second module when the frequency conversion module controls the compressor to run at the speed is obtained through the chip thermistor.

[0038] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, when the frequency conversion module controls the compressor to run at the maximum speed, the frequency of the chip thermistor collecting the temperature of the second module of the frequency conversion module can be reduced, the time delay of the collected frequency conversion module temperature can be reduced, and the temperature of the frequency conversion module during the control process can be accurately obtained.

[0039] S202, if the temperature of the second module is greater than the temperature threshold, controlling the compressor to operate at a first speed;

[0040] In one embodiment, when it is determined that the temperature of the second module is greater than the temperature threshold, it is determined that when the frequency conversion module controls the compressor to operate at the maximum speed, the temperature of the second module of the frequency conversion module is high, and it is necessary to reduce the operating speed of the compressor to avoid the continuous increase in the temperature of the second module of the frequency conversion module, that is, control the compressor to operate at the first speed to reduce the temperature of the second module of the frequency conversion module.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present application, when the frequency conversion module controls the compressor to operate at the maximum speed, the switching operation frequency of the semiconductor device in the frequency conversion module is relatively high, and the heat generated is relatively large. In order to avoid the semiconductor switch generating more heat by performing switching operations at a higher frequency, when the second module temperature is greater than the temperature threshold, the compressor is directly controlled to operate at the first speed, thereby reducing the operating speed of the compressor and achieving the purpose of quickly reducing the temperature of the frequency conversion module.

[0042] S203, obtaining a first module temperature of the frequency conversion module when the frequency conversion module controls the compressor to operate at a first speed;

[0043] S204, determining a temperature change trend of the frequency conversion module based on the temperature of the first module;

[0044] S205, if the temperature change trend is an upward trend, controlling the compressor to operate at a second speed;

[0045] S206, if the temperature change trend is a downward trend, control the compressor to operate at a third speed, the second speed is less than the first speed, and the third speed is greater than the first speed;

[0046] Specifically, when the frequency conversion module controls the compressor to run at a first speed, the first module temperature of the frequency conversion module is obtained, and then the speed of the compressor is controlled based on the first module temperature. Please refer to the description of steps S101 to S104 in the above-mentioned embodiment of the specification, which will not be repeated here.

[0047] It can be understood that when the frequency conversion module controls the compressor to run at the maximum speed, it is detected that the second module temperature of the frequency conversion module is greater than the temperature threshold, and then the speed of the compressor is reduced to the first speed. When the frequency conversion module controls the compressor to run at the first speed, there is still a problem of too high temperature. In this embodiment, by obtaining the change trend of the first module temperature when the frequency conversion module controls the compressor to run at the first speed, it is determined whether to further reduce the operating speed of the compressor, and then reduce the module temperature of the frequency conversion module. By gradually reducing the operating speed of the compressor, the module temperature of the frequency conversion module is reduced to avoid suddenly reducing the operating speed of the compressor, resulting in a rapid decrease in cooling capacity. Moreover, when the compressor runs at the first speed, the operating speed of the compressor is controlled by the temperature change trend, which can prevent the module temperature of the frequency conversion module from rising to the temperature threshold again, and can control the operating speed of the compressor in advance to reduce the module temperature of the frequency conversion module.

[0048] In one embodiment, when the frequency conversion module controls the compressor to run at the maximum speed, if the temperature of the second module of the frequency conversion module is on a downward trend, the compressor is controlled to run at the maximum speed at the second temperature of the frequency conversion module.

[0049] Further, in the embodiment of the present application, obtaining the first module temperature of the frequency conversion module when the frequency conversion module controls the compressor to run at the first speed includes:

[0050] S301, obtaining a first temperature of the frequency conversion module collected when the frequency conversion module controls the compressor to run at a first speed at a first moment;

[0051] S302, obtaining a second temperature of the frequency conversion module collected when the frequency conversion module controls the compressor to run at a first speed at a second moment;

[0052] In one embodiment, when the frequency conversion module controls the compressor to operate at a first speed, after the duration of the compressor operating at the first speed reaches a first preset duration, it is determined that a first moment is reached and the first temperature of the frequency conversion module is obtained; and after the duration of the compressor operating at the first speed reaches a second preset duration, it is determined that a second moment is reached and the second temperature of the frequency conversion module is obtained, and the first preset duration is less than the second preset duration.

[0053] Exemplarily, in the embodiment of the present application, the first preset time length may be 2 minutes, and the second preset time length may be 3 minutes.

[0054] Further, determining the temperature change trend of the frequency conversion module based on the temperature of the first module includes:

[0055] S303, determining a temperature change trend of the frequency conversion module based on a first temperature and a second temperature, where the first module temperature includes the first temperature and the second temperature.

[0056] In one embodiment, if the first temperature is greater than or equal to the second temperature, the temperature change trend of the frequency conversion module is determined to be a downward trend; if the first temperature is less than the second temperature, the temperature change trend of the frequency conversion module is determined to be an upward trend.

[0057] It can be understood that, when the first moment when the first temperature is collected is before the second moment when the second temperature is collected, when it is determined that the first temperature is greater than or equal to the second temperature, it means that the module temperature collected at the first moment is greater than the module temperature collected at the second moment, and the temperature change trend is determined to be a downward trend; when it is determined that the first temperature is less than the second temperature, it means that the module temperature collected at the first moment is less than the module temperature collected at the second moment, and the temperature change trend is determined to be an upward trend.

[0058] Exemplarily, if the first temperature collected at the first moment is 65 degrees Celsius (℃), and the second temperature collected at the second moment is 76℃, it is determined that the temperature change trend of the frequency conversion module is an upward trend; in another case, if the first temperature collected at the first moment is 70℃, and the second temperature collected at the second moment is 60℃, it is determined that the temperature change trend of the frequency conversion module is a downward trend.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present application, by controlling the compressor to operate at a first speed when the compressor is running at a maximum speed and collecting a second module temperature of the frequency conversion module that is greater than or equal to a temperature threshold, thereby reducing the operating speed of the compressor, and then reducing the module temperature of the frequency conversion module, it is possible to avoid the module temperature of the frequency conversion module being too high and affecting the control performance of the frequency conversion module; and by collecting a first temperature when the frequency conversion module controls the compressor to operate at a first speed at a first moment, and a second temperature when the frequency conversion module controls the compressor to operate at the first speed at a second moment, the temperature change trend of the frequency conversion module is determined by the first temperature and the second temperature, and the temperature change trend of the frequency conversion module is determined by the actually collected temperatures of the frequency conversion module at different moments, so that the temperature change trend of the frequency conversion module can be accurately determined; and when the first temperature is greater than or equal to the second temperature, the temperature change trend of the frequency conversion module is determined to be a downward trend, and when the first temperature is less than the second temperature, the change trend of the frequency conversion module is determined to be an upward trend, thereby achieving accurate determination of the temperature change trend of the frequency conversion module.

[0060] See also Figure 4 , is a flow chart of a method for controlling the operation of a compressor provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4As shown, the method of the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps S401-S404.

[0061] S401, obtaining a first module temperature of the frequency conversion module when the frequency conversion module controls the compressor to operate at a first speed;

[0062] S402, determining a temperature change trend of the frequency conversion module based on the temperature of the first module;

[0063] For details, please refer to the description of step S101 to step S102 in the above embodiment of the specification, which will not be repeated here.

[0064] S403, if the first speed is the minimum speed of the compressor and the temperature change trend is an upward trend, control to turn off the compressor;

[0065] In one embodiment, after determining that the first speed is the minimum speed of the compressor and the temperature change trend is an upward trend, it is determined that when the compressor is currently controlled to operate at the minimum speed, the module temperature of the frequency conversion module will continue to rise, so the compressor is controlled to be turned off, that is, the frequency conversion module is also controlled to stop controlling the compressor. In this way, the frequency conversion module will no longer continue to generate heat, thereby preventing the module temperature of the frequency conversion module from continuing to rise and damaging the internal components of the frequency conversion module.

[0066] S404: If the first speed is not the minimum speed of the compressor and the temperature change trend is an upward trend, control the compressor to run at a second speed.

[0067] In one embodiment, when it is determined that the first speed is not the minimum speed of the compressor and the temperature change trend is an upward trend, and it is determined that the operating speed of the compressor can still be further reduced, the compressor is controlled to operate at a second speed. By reducing the operating speed of the compressor, the heat generated by the frequency conversion module when controlling the compressor to operate is reduced.

[0068] Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present application, when it is determined that the temperature change trend is an upward trend and the compressor is controlled to operate at a second speed, specifically: when the temperature change trend is an upward trend, the first temperature change rate of the upward trend is obtained, and then based on the first change interval in which the first temperature change rate is located, the second speed of the compressor corresponding to the first change interval is determined, and the compressor is controlled to operate at the second speed.

[0069] Specifically, there are multiple first change intervals, and each change interval corresponds to a second speed. The greater the first temperature change rate, the smaller the second speed of the change interval corresponding to the first temperature change rate. By controlling the compressor to run at a lower speed when the temperature rises rapidly, the temperature of the frequency conversion module can be prevented from continuing to rise.

[0070] Further, in an embodiment of the present application, when it is determined that the temperature change trend is a downward trend and the compressor is controlled to operate at a third speed, specifically: when the temperature change trend is a downward trend, the second temperature change rate of the downward trend is obtained, and then based on the second change interval in which the second temperature change rate is located, the third speed of the compressor corresponding to the second change interval is determined, and the compressor is controlled to operate at the third speed.

[0071] Specifically, there are multiple second change intervals, and each change interval corresponds to a third speed. The greater the second temperature change rate, the greater the third speed of the change interval corresponding to the second temperature change rate. By controlling the compressor to operate at a higher speed when the temperature drops rapidly, the operating efficiency of the compressor can be improved.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, when the compressor is running at the minimum speed and it is detected that the temperature change trend of the frequency conversion module is an upward trend, the compressor is controlled to be shut down, so as to prevent the frequency conversion module from continuing to control the operation of the compressor, causing its module temperature to continue to rise and damaging the internal components of the frequency conversion module; and when the temperature change trend is an upward trend, by determining the second speed corresponding to the first change interval of the first temperature change rate, and controlling the compressor to operate at the second speed, it is possible to effectively prevent the module temperature of the frequency conversion module from continuing to rise; when the temperature change trend is a downward trend, by removing the third speed corresponding to the second change interval of the second temperature change rate, and controlling the compressor to operate at the third speed, it is possible to improve the operating efficiency of the compressor.
