[0059] Specifically, Figure 2The middle check valve assembly 4 includes four check valves 4 (a), 4 (b), 4 (c), and 4 (d).

A part of the supercooled refrigerant is throttled by the medium-temperature jet electronic expansion valve 7 and enters the medium-temperature economizer 5 again to evaporate and absorb heat, and finally returns to the injection port of the medium-temperature compressor 1. Another part of the supercooled refrigerant is throttled by the medium-temperature main circuit electronic expansion valve 9, enters the inner first heat exchanger 10 through the one-way valve 4 (b) to evaporate and absorb heat, and finally returns to the suction port of the medium-temperature compressor 1 through the third end and the fourth end of the four-way reversing valve 2. When the heat pump system operates in the single-pressure heating mode, the gaseous refrigerant is compressed by the medium-temperature compressor 1, enters the first end and the third end of the four-way reversing valve 2 from the exhaust port of the medium-temperature compressor 1, and then enters the inner first heat exchanger 10 to condense and release heat. The condensed refrigerant enters the medium-temperature economizer 5 through the one-way valve 4 (c) to achieve supercooling. A part of the supercooled refrigerant is throttled by the medium-temperature jet electronic expansion valve 7 and enters the medium-temperature economizer 5 again to evaporate and absorb heat, and finally returns to the injection port of the medium-temperature compressor 1. Another part of the supercooled refrigerant is throttled by the medium-temperature main circuit electronic expansion valve 9, enters the outer heat exchanger 3 through the one-way valve 4 (d) to evaporate and absorb heat, and finally returns to the suction port of the medium-temperature compressor 1 through the second end and the fourth end of the four-way reversing valve 2.

[0061] In this embodiment, the low temperature and high temperature environments that the heat pump system can simulate for the environmental test box are determined by the refrigerant used in the medium temperature cycle. Specifically, the lower limit of the low temperature that the heat pump system can simulate is determined by the lowest evaporation temperature that the refrigerant can achieve in the medium temperature cycle, and the upper limit of the high temperature that the heat pump system can simulate is determined by the highest condensation temperature that the refrigerant can achieve in the medium temperature cycle. The refrigerant used in the medium temperature cycle can be at least one of R717, R12, R22, R404A, R407C, R410A, R448A, and R502. By selecting a suitable refrigerant, a low temperature below -40°C or a high temperature above 50°C can be achieved in the test area of ​​the environmental test box.

[0062] Step 120: Control the working state of each compressor, the working state of the reversing valve, the working state of each solenoid valve and the working state of each electronic expansion valve according to the actual temperature, the target temperature and the ambient temperature.

[0063] Specifically, the working state of each compressor, the working state of the reversing valve, the working state of each solenoid valve and each electronic expansion valve are controlled according to the actual temperature, the target temperature, the ambient temperature and the preset temperature, wherein the preset temperature includes the preset single pressure minimum evaporation temperature and the preset single pressure maximum condensation temperature. Figure 2 When the target temperature is between the preset single-pressure minimum evaporation temperature and the ambient temperature and the target temperature is lower than or equal to the actual temperature (the preset single-pressure minimum evaporation temperature is lower than the ambient temperature and the preset single-pressure minimum evaporation temperature is known), the processor selects the single-pressure cooling mode, controls the medium-temperature compressor to start, opens each solenoid valve and each electronic expansion valve, and switches the four-way reversing valve to the cooling mode. Figure 2 The solid arrow in the middle indicates the state of the four-way reversing valve corresponding to the flow direction. In addition, electric heating can be used for auxiliary temperature control according to the actual temperature. When the target temperature is between the preset single-pressure minimum evaporation temperature and the ambient temperature and the target temperature is higher than the actual temperature, the processor selects the single-pressure heating mode, controls the medium-temperature compressor to start, opens each solenoid valve and each electronic expansion valve, and switches the four-way reversing valve to the heating mode. Figure 2 The hollow arrow indicates the state of the four-way reversing valve corresponding to the flow direction; when the target temperature is between the ambient temperature and the preset single-pressure maximum condensing temperature and the target temperature is lower than the actual temperature (the preset single-pressure maximum condensing temperature is higher than the ambient temperature, and the single-pressure maximum condensing temperature is known), the processor selects the single-pressure cooling mode; when the target temperature is between the ambient temperature and the preset single-pressure maximum condensing temperature and the target temperature is higher than or equal to the actual temperature, the processor selects the single-pressure heating mode; when the target temperature is higher than the preset single-pressure maximum condensing temperature, the medium-temperature compressor is controlled to be turned off, and electric heating can be used for temperature control. In addition, when the required cooling or heating load of the target area is small, the medium-temperature jet solenoid valve is closed. Among them, the specific opening of each electronic expansion valve can be controlled according to the actual working state of the heat pump system, which is not limited here.

[0064] It should be noted that the size of each parameter in this embodiment can be determined according to actual control requirements and is not limited here.

[0065] The control method of the heat pump system provided in the present embodiment controls the working state of each compressor, the working state of the reversing valve, the working state of each solenoid valve and the working state of each electronic expansion valve according to the actual temperature, the target temperature and the ambient temperature. For example, when the target temperature is between the ambient temperature and the preset single-pressure maximum condensing temperature and the target temperature is higher than or equal to the actual temperature, the compressor is controlled to start, each solenoid valve and each electronic expansion valve is opened, and the four-way reversing valve is switched to the heating mode, so as to control the temperature of the environmental test chamber, thereby solving the problem of high energy consumption caused by the use of electric heating when the environmental test chamber simulates a high-temperature environment, thereby reducing energy consumption and improving energy utilization.

[0066] Embodiment 2

[0067] Figure 3 : is a flow chart of a control method for a heat pump system provided in the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the first embodiment. The method can be executed by a processor of the heat pump system. The processor can be implemented in the form of software and / or hardware. The method specifically includes the following steps:

[0068] Step 210: Acquire the actual temperature, target temperature and ambient temperature of the target area.

[0069] The target area may be a test area of ​​an environmental test chamber, and the heat pump system heats or cools the test area of ​​the environmental test chamber. The target temperature of the target area may be input in advance, and the target area and the external environment where the target area is located may be provided with temperature sensors. The processor of the heat pump system is electrically connected to each temperature sensor to obtain the actual temperature of the target area and the ambient temperature.

[0070] For example, Figure 4 Schematic diagram of a heat pump system provided by Embodiment 2 of the present invention.

The low-temperature economizer 16 is connected to the inner second heat exchanger 21 through the low-temperature main circuit solenoid valve 19 and the low-temperature main circuit electronic expansion valve 20 in turn. The second inlet of the medium-temperature-low-temperature evaporative condenser 13 is connected to the check valve assembly 4 through the low-temperature switching solenoid valve 12, and the second outlet of the medium-temperature-low-temperature evaporative condenser 13 is connected to the air intake port of the medium-temperature compressor 1 through the third end and the fourth end of the four-way reversing valve 2 in turn; the processor (not shown in the figure) is electrically connected to each compressor, the four-way reversing valve 2, each electronic expansion valve and each solenoid valve. Specifically, the second inlet of the medium-temperature-low-temperature evaporative condenser 13 is connected to the first inlet of the medium-temperature economizer 5 through the low-temperature switching solenoid valve 12 and the check valve 4 (c) in turn. The first outlet of the low-temperature stage economizer 16 is connected to the second inlet of the low-temperature stage economizer 16 through the low-temperature stage jet solenoid valve 17 and the low-temperature stage jet electronic expansion valve 18 in sequence, and the second outlet of the low-temperature stage economizer 16 is connected to the jet port of the low-temperature stage compressor 14. The first (second) inlet of the low-temperature stage economizer 16 is connected to the first (second) outlet thereof, and the first (second) inlet of the medium-temperature stage-low-temperature stage evaporative condenser 13 is connected to the first (second) outlet thereof.

[0071] The working modes of the heat pump system in this embodiment include single-pressure refrigeration and single-pressure heating modes, and also include cascade refrigeration mode. When the heat pump system works in the cascade refrigeration mode, the test area of ​​the environmental test box can obtain a lower box temperature. In the cascade refrigeration mode, in the medium-temperature cycle, the gaseous refrigerant is compressed by the medium-temperature compressor 1, enters the first end and the second end of the four-way reversing valve 2 from the exhaust port of the medium-temperature compressor 1, and then enters the external heat exchanger 3 to condense and release heat. The condensed refrigerant enters the medium-temperature economizer 5 through the one-way valve 4 (a) to achieve supercooling. A part of the supercooled refrigerant is throttled by the medium-temperature jet electronic expansion valve 7 and enters the medium-temperature economizer 5 again to evaporate and absorb heat, and finally returns to the injection port of the medium-temperature compressor 1. Another part of the supercooled refrigerant is throttled by the medium-temperature main circuit electronic expansion valve 9, enters the medium-temperature-low temperature evaporative condenser 13 through the one-way valve 4 (b) to evaporate and absorb heat, and finally returns to the suction port of the medium-temperature compressor 1 through the third end and the fourth end of the four-way reversing valve 2. In the low-temperature cycle, the gaseous refrigerant is compressed by the low-temperature compressor 14, enters the precooler 15 from the exhaust port of the low-temperature compressor 14 to cool and release heat, and then enters the medium-temperature-low-temperature evaporative condenser 13 to condense and release heat. The condensed refrigerant enters the low-temperature economizer 16 to achieve supercooling. A part of the supercooled refrigerant is throttled by the low-temperature jet electronic expansion valve 18 and enters the low-temperature economizer 16 again to evaporate and absorb heat, and finally returns to the injection port of the low-temperature compressor 14. Another part of the supercooled refrigerant is throttled by the low-temperature main circuit electronic expansion valve 20, enters the inner second heat exchanger 21 to evaporate and absorb heat, and finally returns to the intake port of the low-temperature compressor 14.

[0072] In this embodiment, the extremely low temperature environment that the heat pump system can simulate for the environmental test box is determined by the refrigerant used in the low temperature cycle. Specifically, the lower limit of the extremely low temperature that the heat pump system can simulate is determined by the lowest evaporation temperature that the refrigerant can achieve in the low temperature cycle. The refrigerant used in the low temperature cycle includes at least one of R170, R1150, R13, R23, and R503. By selecting a suitable refrigerant, a low temperature below -80°C can be achieved in the test area of ​​the environmental test box.

[0073] Step 220: When the target temperature is between the preset cascade minimum evaporation temperature and the preset single-pressure minimum evaporation temperature and the target temperature is lower than or equal to the actual temperature, the operation mode of the heat pump system is controlled to be the cascade cooling mode, including:

[0074] Control the medium temperature stage compressor to start, the medium temperature stage solenoid valves and the medium temperature stage electronic expansion valves to open, the four-way reversing valve is in cooling mode, the medium temperature stage switching solenoid valve is closed, the low temperature stage switching solenoid valve is opened, the low temperature stage compressor is started, the low temperature stage solenoid valves and the low temperature stage electronic expansion valves are opened, and the preset cascade minimum evaporation temperature is lower than the preset single pressure minimum evaporation temperature.

[0075] Among them, the preset cascade minimum evaporating temperature and the preset single-pressure minimum evaporating temperature are both used as known quantities. When the target temperature is between the preset cascade minimum evaporating temperature and the preset single-pressure minimum evaporating temperature and the target temperature is lower than the actual temperature, the working mode of the heat pump system selects the cascade refrigeration mode. In this mode, both the medium-temperature compressor and the low-temperature compressor work, and electric heating can be used for auxiliary temperature control according to the actual temperature.

[0076] Step 230: When the target temperature is between the preset cascade minimum evaporation temperature and the preset single-pressure minimum evaporation temperature and the target temperature is higher than the actual temperature, the working mode of the heat pump system is controlled to be the cascade heating mode.

[0077] The specific control of the cascade heating mode is described in detail in the subsequent step 250 .

[0078] Step 240, when the target temperature is between the preset single-pressure minimum evaporation temperature and the ambient temperature and the target temperature is lower than or equal to the actual temperature, controlling the working mode of the heat pump system to be a single-pressure cooling mode or a cascade cooling mode, including:

[0079] If the single-pressure cooling mode is selected, the medium-temperature compressor is controlled to start, the solenoid valves and electronic expansion valves of the medium-temperature stage are opened, the four-way reversing valve is in cooling mode, the medium-temperature switching solenoid valve is opened, the low-temperature switching solenoid valve is closed, the low-temperature compressor is closed, and the solenoid valves and electronic expansion valves of the low-temperature stage are closed. Among them, the preset single-pressure minimum evaporation temperature is lower than the ambient temperature. When the target temperature is between the preset single-pressure minimum evaporation temperature and the ambient temperature and the target temperature is lower than the actual temperature, in the single-pressure cooling mode, the medium-temperature compressor works and the low-temperature compressor does not work. According to the actual temperature, electric heating can be used for auxiliary temperature control.

[0080] If the cascade refrigeration mode is selected, the medium temperature stage compressor is controlled to start, the medium temperature stage solenoid valves and the medium temperature stage electronic expansion valves are opened, the four-way reversing valve is in refrigeration mode, the medium temperature stage switching solenoid valve is closed, the low temperature stage switching solenoid valve is opened, the low temperature stage compressor is started, and the low temperature stage solenoid valves and the low temperature stage electronic expansion valves are opened.

[0081] Specifically, when the target temperature is between the preset single-pressure minimum evaporating temperature and the ambient temperature and the target temperature is lower than the actual temperature, in the cascade refrigeration mode, both the medium-temperature compressor and the low-temperature compressor work, and electric heating can be used for auxiliary temperature control according to the actual temperature.

[0082] Step 250, when the target temperature is between the preset single-pressure minimum evaporation temperature and the ambient temperature and the target temperature is higher than the actual temperature, controlling the working mode of the heat pump system to be a single-pressure heating mode or a cascade heating mode, including:

[0083] If single-pressure heating mode is selected, the medium-temperature stage compressor is controlled to start, the solenoid valves and electronic expansion valves of the medium-temperature stage are opened, the four-way reversing valve is in heating mode, the medium-temperature stage switching solenoid valve is opened, the low-temperature stage switching solenoid valve is closed, the low-temperature stage compressor is turned off, and the solenoid valves and electronic expansion valves of the low-temperature stage are closed.

[0084] If the cascade heating mode is selected, the medium temperature stage compressor is controlled to start, the solenoid valves and electronic expansion valves of the medium temperature stage are opened, the four-way reversing valve is in heating mode, the medium temperature stage switching solenoid valve is closed, the low temperature stage switching solenoid valve is opened, the low temperature stage compressor is started, the solenoid valves and electronic expansion valves of the low temperature stage are opened, and the preset cascade minimum evaporation temperature is lower than the preset single pressure minimum evaporation temperature.

[0085] Step 260: When the target temperature is between the ambient temperature and the preset single-pressure maximum condensing temperature and the target temperature is higher than or equal to the actual temperature, the operating mode of the heat pump system is controlled to be a single-pressure heating mode, including:

[0086] Control the medium temperature stage compressor to start, the medium temperature stage solenoid valves and the medium temperature stage electronic expansion valves to open, the four-way reversing valve is in heating mode, the medium temperature stage switching solenoid valve is opened, the low temperature stage switching solenoid valve is closed, the low temperature stage compressor is closed, and the low temperature stage solenoid valves and the low temperature stage electronic expansion valves are closed.

[0087] Among them, the preset single-pressure maximum condensing temperature is higher than the ambient temperature. When the target temperature is between the ambient temperature and the preset single-pressure maximum condensing temperature and the target temperature is higher than or equal to the actual temperature, the medium-temperature compressor works and the low-temperature compressor does not work. Electric heating can be used for auxiliary temperature control according to the actual temperature.

[0088] Step 270: When the target temperature is between the ambient temperature and the preset single-pressure maximum condensing temperature and the target temperature is lower than the actual temperature, the working mode of the heat pump system is controlled to be the single-pressure cooling mode.

[0089] The specific control of the single-pressure cooling mode may refer to the description of the above step 240, which will not be repeated here.

[0090] Step 280: When the target temperature is higher than the preset single-pressure maximum condensing temperature, control each compressor to shut down.

[0091] Specifically, when the target temperature is higher than the preset single-pressure maximum condensing temperature, the medium-temperature compressor and the low-temperature compressor will not work, and electric heating can be used to assist temperature control according to the actual temperature. In addition, when the required cooling or heating load of the target area is small, the medium-temperature jet solenoid valve is closed.

[0092] In addition, the specific opening degree of each electronic expansion valve can be controlled according to the actual working state of the heat pump system, which is not limited here.

[0093] It should be noted that the size of each parameter in this embodiment can be determined according to actual control requirements and is not limited here.

[0094] The control method of the heat pump system provided in this embodiment controls the compressors of the medium temperature stage and the low temperature stage to start or shut down, the four-way reversing valve to the cooling or heating mode, and the solenoid valves and the electronic expansion valves to open or close when the target temperature is in different temperature ranges, so as to control the temperature of the environmental test chamber, thereby solving the problem of high energy consumption caused by the use of electric heating when the environmental test chamber simulates a high temperature environment, thereby reducing energy consumption and improving energy utilization.

The target temperature of the target area may be input in advance, and the target area and the external environment where the target area is located may be provided with temperature sensors. The processor of the heat pump system is electrically connected to each temperature sensor to obtain the actual temperature of the target area and the ambient temperature.

[0099] For example, Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the structure of a heat pump system provided by the third embodiment of the present invention.

The first (second) inlet of the high temperature stage economizer 26 is connected to its first (second) outlet, and the first (second) inlet of the medium temperature stage-high temperature stage evaporative condenser 23 is connected to its first (second) outlet.

[0100] The working modes of the heat pump system in this embodiment include single-pressure cooling and single-pressure heating modes, and also include cascade heating mode. When the heat pump system works in the cascade cooling mode, the test area of ​​the environmental test chamber can obtain a higher chamber temperature. Specifically, in the medium-temperature stage cycle, the gaseous refrigerant is compressed by the medium-temperature stage compressor 1, enters the four-way reversing valve 2 from the exhaust port of the medium-temperature stage compressor 1, and then enters the medium-temperature stage-high temperature stage condensing evaporator 23 to condense and release heat. The condensed refrigerant enters the medium-temperature stage economizer 5 through the one-way valve 4 (c) to achieve supercooling. A part of the supercooled refrigerant is throttled by the medium-temperature stage jet electronic expansion valve 7 and enters the medium-temperature stage economizer 5 again to evaporate and absorb heat, and finally returns to the injection port of the medium-temperature stage compressor 1. Another part of the supercooled refrigerant is throttled by the medium-temperature stage main circuit electronic expansion valve 9, enters the outer heat exchanger 3 through the one-way valve 4 (d) to evaporate and absorb heat, and finally passes through the four-way reversing valve 2 Return to the suction port of the medium-temperature stage compressor 1; in the high-temperature stage cycle, the gaseous refrigerant is compressed by the high-temperature stage compressor 24, enters the inner third heat exchanger 25 from the exhaust port of the high-temperature stage compressor 24 to condense and release heat, and the condensed refrigerant enters the high-temperature stage economizer 26 to achieve supercooling.

[0115] Among them, when the preset single-pressure maximum condensing temperature is lower than the preset cascade maximum condensing temperature, and the target temperature is between the preset single-pressure maximum condensing temperature and the preset cascade maximum condensing temperature and the target temperature is higher than the actual temperature, the working mode of the heat pump system selects the cascade heating mode. In this mode, both the medium-temperature compressor and the high-temperature compressor work, and electric heating can be used for auxiliary temperature control according to the actual temperature.

[0116] Step 370: When the target temperature is between the preset single-pressure maximum condensing temperature and the preset cascade maximum condensing temperature and the target temperature is lower than the actual temperature, the operation mode of the heat pump system is controlled to be the cascade cooling mode, including:

[0118] Step 380: When the target temperature is higher than the preset cascade maximum condensing temperature, control each compressor to shut down.

[0119] Specifically, when the target temperature is higher than the preset maximum condensing temperature of the cascade, the medium-temperature compressor and the high-temperature compressor do not work, and electric heating can be used to assist in temperature control according to the actual temperature. In addition, when the required cooling or heating load of the target area is small, the medium-temperature jet solenoid valve is closed.

By reasonably matching the refrigerants in each level of circulation, a low temperature below -80°C or a high temperature above 150°C can be achieved in the test area of ​​the high and low temperature test chamber.

[0130] Step 402: When the target temperature is between the preset cascade minimum evaporation temperature and the preset single-pressure minimum evaporation temperature and the target temperature is lower than or equal to the actual temperature, the operation mode of the heat pump system is controlled to be the cascade cooling mode, including:

When the target temperature is between the preset cascade minimum evaporation temperature and the preset single-pressure minimum evaporation temperature and the target temperature is lower than or equal to the actual temperature, the working mode of the heat pump system selects the cascade refrigeration mode. In this mode, both the medium-temperature compressor and the low-temperature compressor work, and electric heating can be used for auxiliary temperature control according to the actual temperature.

[0140] The specific control of the cascade heating mode or the single-pressure heating mode is described in detail in the subsequent step 406 .

[0141] Step 406: When the target temperature is between the ambient temperature and the preset single-pressure maximum condensing temperature and the target temperature is higher than or equal to the actual temperature, the operation mode of the heat pump system is controlled to be the cascade heating mode or the single-pressure heating mode, including:

Electric heating can be used for auxiliary temperature control according to the actual temperature.

[0144] Step 407: When the target temperature is between the ambient temperature and the preset single-pressure maximum condensing temperature and the target temperature is higher than or equal to the actual temperature, the operation mode of the heat pump system is controlled to be the cascade heating mode or the single-pressure heating mode, including:

[0151] Among them, when the preset single-pressure maximum condensing temperature is lower than the preset cascade maximum condensing temperature, and the target temperature is between the preset single-pressure maximum condensing temperature and the preset cascade maximum condensing temperature and the target temperature is higher than or equal to the actual temperature, the working mode of the heat pump system selects the cascade heating mode. In this mode, both the medium-temperature compressor and the high-temperature compressor work, and electric heating can be used for auxiliary temperature control according to the actual temperature.

[0152] Step 491: When the target temperature is between the single-pressure maximum condensing temperature and the cascade maximum condensing temperature and the target temperature is lower than the actual temperature, the working mode of the heat pump system is controlled to be the cascade cooling mode or the single-pressure cooling mode.

[0154] Step 492: When the target temperature is higher than the preset cascade maximum condensing temperature, control each compressor to shut down.

[0155] Specifically, when the target temperature is higher than the preset maximum condensing temperature of the cascade, the medium-temperature compressor and the high-temperature compressor do not work, and electric heating can be used to assist in temperature control according to the actual temperature. In addition, when the required cooling or heating load of the target area is small, the medium-temperature jet solenoid valve is closed.

[0168] This embodiment also provides an environmental test chamber, including: a heat pump system as described in any embodiment of the present invention. The heat pump technology is combined with the jet enthalpy increase technology and applied to the environmental test chamber, and a reasonable control method is used to optimize the system and control, thereby reducing energy consumption while taking into account the performance of the environmental test chamber. The optimization effect of the system is that, on the one hand, from a thermodynamic point of view, the heating efficiency of the heat pump technology is higher than that of traditional electric heating, and the use of a heating cycle to increase the temperature fully utilizes the heat energy of the air source, effectively improving the energy utilization efficiency. On the other hand, for compressors with the same gas output, the use of jet enthalpy increase technology increases the system's cooling and heating capacities, and improves energy efficiency. The optimization effect on control is that, on the one hand, when there is a need for cooling or heating, the cooling or heating cycle is mainly used, supplemented by electric heating, which reduces energy consumption while taking into account the temperature control performance of the high and low temperature test chamber. On the other hand, the method of opening or closing the jet solenoid valve is determined according to the size of the cooling or heating load required in the test area of ​​the test chamber. When the cooling or heating load in the test area of ​​the test chamber is small, the jet solenoid valve is closed to reduce the energy consumption of the compressor. When the cooling or heating load in the test area of ​​the test chamber is large, the jet solenoid valve is opened to take into account the temperature rise and fall performance of the high and low temperature environment test chamber, thereby achieving rational use of energy.
