Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of refrigeration optimization control, in particular to a variable frequency compressor control optimization method based on a commercial refrigerator. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous development of commercial refrigerator technology and the increasing demand for application, traditional commercial refrigerators are facing more and more challenges in terms of energy efficiency, operation efficiency, temperature control accuracy and environmental adaptability. Traditional refrigerators usually use a single compressor and refrigeration system, and do not fully consider the temperature fluctuations and load differences in different areas inside the refrigerator, resulting in low overall energy efficiency and suboptimal refrigeration effect. In addition, the refrigeration efficiency of the refrigerator is usually affected by external environmental temperature, storage requirements of goods and manual operation, etc. Changes in these factors make it difficult for the refrigerator system to achieve efficient and stable temperature control management, further affecting the operation stability and product quality of the refrigerator.

[0003] To solve these problems, variable frequency compressors, as a high-efficiency control device, have been widely used in commercial refrigerators. Variable frequency compressors can precisely adjust the flow rate of refrigerant and the temperature of the temperature control area by adjusting the speed of the compressor, avoiding the energy waste of traditional fixed-frequency compressors when the load fluctuates. However, although the introduction of variable frequency compressors has improved the energy efficiency of the refrigerator to some extent, traditional commercial refrigerators still have the following problems: first, the load distribution in the temperature control area is uneven, resulting in overcooling or overheating in some areas of the refrigerator; second, there is a lack of comprehensive optimization management of multiple factors (such as goods load, manual operation behavior, external environment, etc.), which cannot effectively achieve temperature control balance between areas; third, the frequency adjustment of the compressor and the refrigerant flow adjustment are often difficult to optimize collaboratively, limiting the improvement of refrigeration efficiency.

[0080] Embodiment 1

[0081] Please refer to Figure 1 , the present application provides a variable frequency compressor control optimization method based on a commercial refrigerator, comprising the following steps:

[0082] S1, the inside of the commercial refrigerator is divided into several temperature control areas according to the level, and monitoring points are set in each temperature control area to collect and obtain the operating parameters in each temperature control area, including the evaporation temperature Te i , the condensation temperature Tc i , the compressor frequency F compressor,i , the refrigerant flow M i , the evaporation pressure P evap,i and the condensation pressure P cond,i , and the operating parameter set is established;

[0093] S12, setting multiple monitoring points in each temperature control area, and installing temperature sensors outside each temperature control area to monitor the external environmental temperature T outsude,i of the i-th temperature control area in real time;

[0094] Monitoring the temperature of the refrigerant during evaporation through the temperature sensor inside the evaporator to obtain the evaporation temperature Te i of the i-th temperature control area;

[0095] Installing a temperature sensor in the condenser to monitor the condensation temperature Tc i of the i-th temperature control area in real time;

[0096] Monitoring the operating frequency of the compressor through the Hall sensor or the speed sensor to obtain the compressor frequency F compressor,i of the i-th temperature control area;

[0097] Detecting the flow of refrigerant in the pipeline through the flow sensor to obtain the refrigerant flow M i of the i-th temperature control area;

[0098] Monitoring the evaporation pressure through the pressure sensor installed in the evaporator to obtain the evaporation pressure P evap,i of the i-th temperature control area;

The optimized monitoring and adjustment method improves the energy efficiency of the refrigerator, especially under different loads, environmental temperatures and operating conditions, achieving higher refrigeration efficiency and energy utilization.

[0102] Embodiment 3

[0103] This embodiment is an explanation and description in embodiment 1. Specifically, S2 includes:

[0104] S21, in each temperature control area, monitor and record the obtained goods load information and manual operation behavior information, establish a regional load set, the regional load set includes: the number of regional goods N items,i , the average temperature T avg,i of the new goods new,i , the frequency D of the opening and closing of the regional cabinet door door,i , and the idle storage volume V area,i of the region; accurately collect and record the load information of each temperature control area. These factors directly affect the temperature control effect and energy efficiency of the refrigerator. By obtaining this information, the working load of each area can be comprehensively evaluated.

[0105] The more the number of goods, the greater the load pressure on the refrigerator, and the temperature control difficulty also increases.

[0106] The temperature of new goods is usually high, which will increase the refrigeration load of the refrigerator, resulting in reduced energy efficiency.

[0107] Frequent opening and closing of the cabinet door will cause temperature fluctuations, exacerbate the load of the refrigerator, and affect energy efficiency.

[0108] Too much or too little idle space can cause the refrigeration efficiency of the refrigerator to be unstable, affecting energy efficiency.

[0109] S22, after cleaning and data normalization of the regional load set, calculate the load index F zzs,i of the i-th temperature control area; based on the cleaned data, calculate the load index F zzs,i, as the core basis for judging the operating status of each temperature control area in the refrigerator. Load index F zzs,i The calculation will help accurately identify the workload of each temperature-controlled area in the refrigerator, thus providing a basis for subsequent optimization and adjustment.

[0110] S23, preset the load threshold, and set the load index F of the i-th temperature control area zzs,i Compare with the load threshold to determine the load level of the temperature control area, including:

[0111]

[0112] Among them, T threshold1 and T threshold2 Indicates the first load threshold and the second load threshold set according to the design and usage environment of the refrigerator, and dynamically adjusted according to actual needs.

[0113] The load index F of the i-th temperature control area zzs,i Below the first load threshold T threshold1 When the temperature is too low, it means that the temperature control area in the refrigerator is underloaded, resulting in energy waste and low energy efficiency.

[0114] The load index F of the i-th temperature control area zzs,i Higher than the second load threshold T threshold2 When the load is too heavy, the temperature control area in the refrigerator is overburdened, which may cause temperature fluctuations and unstable operation.

[0115] The load index F of the i-th temperature control area zzs,i The way to obtain is:

[0116] S221. First, calculate the impact of the cargo load on the temperature control area and calculate the load impact index F of the i-th temperature control area. items,i :

[0117]

[0118] Where, T set Indicates the ideal temperature setting for the freezer. This formula reflects the load impact caused by the quantity of goods and the difference between the temperature of the goods and the set temperature. The greater the quantity of goods and the temperature, the higher the freezer load, and vice versa.

[0119] S222. Calculate the manual operation impact index F of the i-th temperature control area oper,i :

[0120] F oper,i =|D door,i ×(T new,i -T outsude,i )|;

[0121] In the formula, T outsude,i represents the external environment temperature of the i-th temperature control area, D door,i represents the on-off frequency of the door;

[0122] The artificial operation influence index F oper,i of the i-th temperature control area represents the load increment caused by artificial operation. Frequent door opening or the addition of high-temperature new goods will increase the load of the refrigerator, thereby affecting the refrigeration efficiency;

[0123] S223, in combination with the load influence index F items,i of the i-th temperature control area obtained in S221 and S222 oper,i , the load index F zzs,i of the i-th temperature control area is calculated by the following formula:

[0124] F zzs,i = F items,i + F oper,i .

[0125] S24, when the first low load level is identified, it indicates that the load of the i-th temperature control area is abnormal, not only wasting the cold source, but also causing unstable operation efficiency, and generates the first strategy: increasing the current inventory of goods by 10%-20% and increasing the proportion of cold storage medium by 2%-3%, the cold storage medium including frozen bottles and cold storage plates;

[0126] When the second medium load level is identified, it indicates that the load of the i-th temperature control area is normal, and the operation efficiency is qualified, and there is no need for optimization adjustment; by increasing the inventory of goods and the proportion of cold storage medium (such as frozen bottles and cold storage plates), the load of the refrigerator is improved, the cold source is avoided to be wasted, and the operation efficiency is improved.

[0127] When the third high load level is identified, it indicates that the load of the i-th temperature control area is abnormal, and generates the second strategy: reducing the current inventory of goods by 10%-20% and increasing the proportion of cold storage medium by 4%-6%, to help alleviate temperature fluctuations.

[0139] ​​​When R_adj > 0, it indicates that the refrigerant flow needs to be increased to enhance the refrigeration effect;

[0140] When R_adj = 0, it indicates that the refrigerant flow is qualified and no adjustment is needed;

[0141] When R_adj < 0, it indicates that the refrigerant flow needs to be reduced to avoid excessive refrigeration;
