Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

The phrase appears in various places in the specification and does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will explicitly and implicitly understand that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a schematic flow chart of the compressor control method provided in the first embodiment of this application. Although a logical order is shown in the flow chart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in a different order than that shown in the drawings. Specifically, the specific flow of the compressor control method provided in the first embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0044] S101, Obtain the distributed sampling temperature of the evaporator.

[0045] Among them, the distributed sampling temperature is used to indicate the temperatures sampled at each heat accumulation area of the evaporator, and these temperature data can characterize the heat exchange states of different parts of the evaporator during operation. The heat accumulation area refers to the high-temperature or low-temperature aggregation areas formed inside the evaporator, including but not limited to parts such as the inlet, outlet and intermediate key heat exchange sections of the evaporator.

[0046] In some embodiments of this application, at least one high-precision temperature sensor is installed in each key heat accumulation area (such as the inlet, outlet and intermediate heat exchange section) of the evaporator, and the specific quantity is determined according to the size and structural design of the evaporator. Then, the temperature sampling frequency is set through the control system, for example, once per second or adjusted to a higher frequency according to actual response requirements. Finally, the temperature sensors in each key heat accumulation area sample at the set sampling frequency, and all the sampled temperature data are used as the distributed sampling temperature of the evaporator.

[0047] S102, When the distributed sampling temperature triggers a control warning, predict the target control temperature according to the distributed sampling temperature.

[0048] Among them, control warning refers to a signal triggered based on the feature analysis of distributed sampled temperature, which is used to prompt that the system needs to perform control adjustment. The feature analysis here specifically refers to the analysis of eigenvalue such as the change rate, maximum value, minimum value of the distributed sampled temperature, including but not limited to these. The target control temperature refers to a comprehensive temperature value calculated from the distributed sampled temperature through a prediction model, which can represent the overall heat load state of the evaporator, and this comprehensive temperature value is used to guide the control decision of the compressor.

[0049] It can be understood that since a single temperature point is difficult to comprehensively reflect the heat load change of the evaporator under high load or dynamic conditions, the comprehensive analysis of multiple temperatures based on the distributed sampled temperature can detect abnormal trends earlier, thereby triggering a warning. And because the temperature changes in different heat accumulation areas of the evaporator have different effects on the operating pressure of the compressor, the target control temperature is predicted by integrating the temperatures of each area here to more accurately characterize the state of the evaporator.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, the temperature warning thresholds for each heat accumulation area are preset first (for example, the inlet temperature exceeds a °C or the temperature change rate is greater than b °C / s). These thresholds are determined according to the design parameters and historical operation data of the evaporator. Then, the collected distributed sampled temperature is compared with the above temperature warning thresholds and warning conditions in real time to determine whether the temperature or change rate of a single area exceeds the threshold. If any condition is met, a control warning is triggered.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, when the control warning is triggered, the control system calls a preset prediction model (such as a weighted average model or a dynamic prediction algorithm based on machine learning). This model takes the distributed sampled temperature as the input, comprehensively considers the temperature weights of each heat accumulation area (for example, the inlet weight is 30%, the intermediate heat exchange section is 50%, and the outlet is 20%), and the historical temperature trend, and calculates the target control temperature.

[0052] S103, if the target control temperature is greater than the control temperature threshold, the compressor is down - frequency processed in response to the target control temperature.

[0053] Among them, the control temperature threshold is a critical temperature value used to judge whether the operating state of the evaporator needs to adjust the operating frequency of the compressor. It can be a preset value determined based on the design parameters of the evaporator, or a dynamically changing value determined based on the distributed sampled temperature, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0054] It can be understood that the target control temperature exceeding the threshold indicates that the current heat load of the evaporator is too high, which may cause the operating pressure of the compressor to be too high or overheat; therefore, by reducing the operating frequency, the refrigerant flow rate is reduced, thereby reducing the heat load and system pressure of the evaporator.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, when performing frequency reduction processing, the required frequency reduction amplitude can be determined according to the difference between the target control temperature and the control temperature threshold. For example, if the difference is c °C, the frequency can be reduced by d Hz according to a preset rule; if the difference is larger, the frequency reduction amplitude will increase accordingly. Among them, the frequency reduction amplitude is usually determined by looking up a table or using a linear interpolation method.

[0056] In the above embodiment, by obtaining the distributed sampling temperatures of each heat accumulation region of the evaporator, multi-point monitoring of the evaporator temperature is realized; and when the distributed sampling temperature triggers a control warning, the target control temperature is predicted in advance. This forward-looking temperature prediction mechanism effectively overcomes the drawback of a large delay in the traditional evaporator tube temperature sampling. Once the target control temperature is greater than the control temperature threshold, the compressor is quickly subjected to frequency reduction processing, enabling the control system to more timely and sensitively sense the temperature change of the evaporator and respond quickly, avoiding control lag caused by delay, and achieving precise control of the compressor.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is a schematic flowchart of the compressor control method provided by the second embodiment of the present application. Although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in a different order than that shown in the drawings. The heat accumulation regions in this second embodiment include the inlet section, the middle section, the outlet section, and the top region of the evaporator.

[0058] Specifically, the specific process of the compressor control method provided by the second embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0059] S201, obtain at least two of the first sampling temperature of the inlet section, the second sampling temperature of the middle section, the third sampling temperature of the outlet section, and the fourth sampling temperature of the top region.

[0060] Among them, the first sampling temperature refers to the temperature data of the inlet section of the evaporator collected by the inlet section sensor, which is used to reflect the initial heat load state when the refrigerant enters the evaporator. The second sampling temperature refers to the temperature data of the middle region of the evaporator collected by the middle section sensor, which is used to characterize the heat exchange efficiency of the main heat exchange region. The third sampling temperature refers to the temperature data of the outlet section of the evaporator collected by the outlet section sensor, which is used to reflect the temperature state of the refrigerant after completing heat exchange. The fourth sampling temperature refers to the temperature data of the top region of the evaporator collected by the top redundant sensor, which is used to monitor abnormal high temperatures caused by air flow blockage or heat accumulation. The top redundant sensor refers to an additional temperature sensor provided at the top of the evaporator, which is used to provide supplementary data in scenarios where the installation space is limited or single-point sampling fails, ensuring the reliability of temperature monitoring.

[0061] Optionally, the sampling temperatures at any two of them can be obtained. For example, the first sampling temperature at the inlet section and the second sampling temperature at the middle section can be obtained, or the third sampling temperature at the outlet section and the fourth sampling temperature at the top region can be obtained. Of course, the sampling temperatures at any three of them can also be obtained, or the sampling temperatures of all the heat accumulation regions can be obtained, which are not specifically limited here. These combinations provide a flexible sampling strategy for the system, and a suitable scheme can be selected according to the specific application scenario to optimize the control effect.

[0062] S202. In each sampling period, calculate the corresponding temperature change rate and temperature difference according to the distributed sampling temperatures.

[0063] Among them, the temperature change rate includes at least two of the first temperature change rate calculated according to the first sampling temperature, the second temperature change rate calculated according to the second sampling temperature, the third temperature change rate calculated according to the third sampling temperature, and the fourth temperature change rate calculated according to the fourth sampling temperature. The temperature difference is calculated according to any two of the first sampling temperature, the second sampling temperature, the third sampling temperature, and the fourth sampling temperature.

[0064] Optionally, taking the first temperature change rate as an example, in each sampling period Δt, obtain the first sampling temperature T1 at the start of the sampling period and the first sampling temperature T2 at the end of the sampling period, calculate the difference between the two ΔT1 = T2 - T1, and then obtain the first temperature change rate ΔT1 / Δt. Similarly, any two of the second temperature change rate ΔT2 / Δt, the third temperature change rate ΔT3 / Δt, and the fourth temperature change rate ΔT4 / Δt can be obtained. Further, select any two of the first sampling temperature, the second sampling temperature, the third sampling temperature, and the fourth sampling temperature, and in each sampling period, take the average value of the differences between the two sampling temperatures at the same sampling time as the temperature difference. For example, the two sampling temperatures selected can be the third sampling temperature and the fourth sampling temperature.

[0065] Further, before calculating the data in this step, a sliding window filtering algorithm can also be used to filter the sampling temperatures to eliminate noise interference. For example, set the window length to 10 seconds. If the sampling frequency is 0.5 seconds per time, each window contains 20 sampling points. For a certain sampling temperature in a certain sampling period, take 20 sampling points within the previous and subsequent 10 seconds (including the current point), and calculate their average value as the filtered temperature value at this moment. The window slides forward with time, moving one sampling point (0.5 seconds) each time, and repeat the calculation to update the filtering result.

[0066] S203. If the temperature change rate and temperature difference within a continuous preset number of sampling periods meet the warning conditions, it is determined that the distributed sampling temperature triggers a control warning.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, the warning conditions in S203 include that the temperature change rate is greater than the corresponding change rate threshold, and / or the temperature difference is greater than the difference threshold.

[0068] Exemplarily, the temperature change rate includes two temperature change rates, namely the first temperature change rate and the second temperature change rate. Then, when the first temperature change rate is greater than the corresponding first temperature change rate threshold (e.g., 1 °C / s), and / or the second temperature change rate is greater than the corresponding second temperature change rate threshold (e.g., 2 °C / s), it is determined that the temperature change rate is greater than the corresponding change rate threshold. Or, the temperature change rate includes four temperature change rates, namely the first temperature change rate, the second temperature change rate, the third temperature change rate, and the fourth temperature change rate. Then, when the first temperature change rate is greater than the corresponding first temperature change rate threshold (e.g., 1 °C / s), and / or the second temperature change rate is greater than the corresponding second temperature change rate threshold (e.g., 2 °C / s), and / or the third temperature change rate is greater than the corresponding third temperature change rate threshold (e.g., 1 °C / s), and / or the fourth temperature change rate is greater than the corresponding fourth temperature change rate threshold (e.g., 1.5 °C / s), it is determined that the temperature change rate is greater than the corresponding change rate threshold.

[0069] Exemplarily, the temperature difference is the difference between the third sampled temperature and the fourth sampled temperature. When this difference is greater than the corresponding temperature difference threshold (e.g., 8 °C), it is determined that the temperature difference is greater than the difference threshold.

[0070] It can be understood that these change rate thresholds and difference thresholds are determined through experiments in combination with the design parameters of the evaporator, historical operation data, and typical working conditions. The preset number of sampling periods here can be set to 3 sampling periods. Of course, it can also be other values, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0071] The above S201 - S203 obtain at least two sampled temperatures in the inlet section, middle section, outlet section, and top area of the evaporator, calculate the corresponding temperature change rate and difference, and finally comprehensively evaluate whether the temperature change rate and temperature difference meet the warning conditions in multiple consecutive sampling periods. By sampling at multiple points, the delay and noise interference of a single sampling point are overcome; and dynamically analyzing the temperature change rate and difference can sensitively capture system anomalies and enhance the response speed of the control system; and the flexible sampling combination strategy can adapt to different working conditions.

[0072] S204, when the distributed sampled temperatures trigger a control warning, obtain the real-time compressor frequency, real-time ambient temperature, real-time indoor unit air volume gear, historical temperature change rate of each heat accumulation area, and historical compressor start-stop times.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, the current real-time compressor frequency of the compressor is read through a frequency converter. The current real-time ambient temperature is collected through an external ambient temperature sensor. The current real-time indoor unit air volume gear is obtained from the indoor unit control system (for example, it is divided into three gears: low, medium, and high in total, and the current is the high gear, which is digitized to 3). The temperature change rate sequences of each heat accumulation area within the previous 10 minutes are extracted from the database as the historical temperature change rates. The start-stop times of the compressor within the previous hour are extracted from the system log.

[0074] It can be understood that the multi-source data is obtained here because a single temperature data cannot comprehensively reflect the dynamic changes of the evaporator heat load; by combining the operating parameters and historical data, more comprehensive system state information can be provided.

[0075] S205, input the distributed sampling temperature, real-time compressor frequency, real-time ambient temperature, real-time indoor unit air volume gear, historical temperature change rate, and historical compressor start-stop times into a long short-term memory network for prediction to obtain the target control temperature.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present application, first, the distributed sampling temperature, real-time compressor frequency, real-time ambient temperature, real-time indoor unit air volume gear, historical temperature change rate, and historical compressor start-stop times are normalized to [0, 1] to form a time series input vector. Then, the time series input vector is input into a long short-term memory network (Long Short-Term Memory Network, LSTM). The LSTM realizes the analysis and prediction of the input data through the coordinated operation of the forget gate, input gate, memory unit, and output gate. Among them, the forget gate receives the current input vector and the hidden state at the previous moment, and generates a forgetting factor (between 0 and 1) through the sigmoid activation function. The forgetting factor determines how much historical information to retain. For example, a lower weight is given to the part of the historical temperature change rate that is irrelevant to the current working condition (such as earlier low-load data) to forget the irrelevant information. The input gate receives the current input vector and the hidden state at the previous moment, and determines which new information (such as the current distributed sampling temperature and real-time compressor frequency) needs to be updated to the memory unit through the sigmoid and tanh activation functions. The memory unit combines the outputs of the forget gate and the input gate to update the memory unit of the LSTM, fusing short-term fluctuations (such as real-time ambient temperature) and long-term trends (such as historical temperature change rate) to form a comprehensive time series feature representation. The output gate determines which memory unit information is used to generate the prediction value at the current moment through the sigmoid activation function. The output gate synthesizes short-term fluctuations and long-term trends to generate a hidden state vector, which is mapped to the target control temperature through a fully connected layer.

[0077] Optionally, the target control temperature here can actually be set to the evaporator outlet temperature, because the outlet temperature directly reflects the state of the refrigerant after heat exchange, and is closely related to the operating load of the compressor and the system efficiency.

[0078] In the above S204 - S205, the multi - layer neural network unit of LSTM analyzes the distributed sampling temperature, real - time compressor frequency, real - time ambient temperature, real - time indoor unit air volume gear, historical temperature change rate, and historical compressor start - stop times, achieving accurate prediction of the target control temperature, overcoming the deficiency of the traditional model in processing complex time - series data and the problem of causing delays.

[0079] S206, if the target control temperature is greater than the control temperature threshold, the compressor is frequency - reduced in response to the target control temperature.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present application, the setting method of the control temperature threshold includes: when the compressor is turned on, the compressor is controlled to operate at the rated frequency, and the average temperature change rate and the control temperature reference value of each heat - accumulation area are obtained. If the average temperature change rate is less than or equal to the change rate threshold, the control temperature reference value is used as the control temperature threshold. If the average temperature change rate is greater than the change rate threshold, the product of the threshold adjustment coefficient and the control temperature reference value is used as the control temperature threshold.

[0081] Among them, the average temperature change rate refers to the average value of the temperature change rates of each heat - accumulation area (inlet section, middle section, outlet section, top area) when the compressor operates at the rated frequency. The control temperature reference value is a reference temperature value determined based on the temperature data of each heat - accumulation area when the compressor operates at the rated frequency. 0 < threshold adjustment coefficient < 1.

[0082] It can be understood that the system is in a stable state under the rated frequency, and can provide reliable temperature change rate and reference value data. By analyzing these data, the initial heat load characteristics of the system can be accurately reflected. If the average temperature change rate is less than or equal to the change rate threshold, it indicates that the system is in a normal working condition. At this time, the control temperature reference value is directly used as the control temperature threshold. For example, the control temperature threshold is set to the control temperature reference value of 65°C. If the average temperature change rate is greater than the change rate threshold, it may indicate that the top space of the system is insufficient or the evaporator is under - sized. Therefore, here the control temperature threshold is reduced by the threshold adjustment coefficient to improve the sensitivity of the system to abnormalities. For example, the threshold adjustment coefficient = 0.8, and at this time the control temperature threshold is set to 52°C. Optionally, if the average temperature change rate is greater than the change rate threshold, the weight of the data corresponding to the top sensor in the LSTM model can also be increased to further improve the sensitivity to abnormalities.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present application, the step of frequency - reducing the compressor in response to the target control temperature in S206 specifically includes the following steps:

[0084] S2061, reduce the current frequency of the compressor by a preset ratio, and obtain the target control temperature after the frequency reduction.

[0085] Wherein, the preset ratio refers to the percentage of the compressor frequency reduction, which can be a fixed value or a variable value, and is not limited herein.

[0086] S2062, if the target control temperature after the frequency reduction is greater than the control temperature threshold, return to execute S2061 until the target control temperature after the frequency reduction is less than or equal to the control temperature threshold.

[0087] Optionally, reduce the current frequency of the compressor (such as 60Hz) by a preset ratio (such as 10%, that is, reduce to 54Hz). The target control temperature after the frequency reduction can be obtained again through S204 - S205, which will not be elaborated herein. Compare the target control temperature after the frequency reduction with the control temperature threshold. If the target control temperature after the frequency reduction is still greater than the threshold, return to step S2061, continue to reduce the frequency (such as reduce by 5% again, from 54Hz to 51.3Hz), and predict the target control temperature again after running for 10 seconds. If the target control temperature after the frequency reduction is less than or equal to the threshold, stop the frequency reduction and maintain the current frequency.

[0088] In the above S2061 - S2062, by adopting the gradient frequency reduction strategy to reduce the compressor frequency in stages and predict the target control temperature after the frequency reduction in real time, the precise regulation of the evaporator heat load is realized, overcoming the problems of system instability or insufficient refrigeration caused by traditional fixed frequency reduction or one - time large - scale frequency reduction.

[0089] Further, for the compressor control method provided in the above second embodiment, the following steps can also be executed: obtain the real - time fan current of the indoor unit. If the deviation between the real - time fan current and the current reference value is greater than the deviation threshold, increase the frequency reduction rate of the frequency reduction process.

[0090] Optionally, the fan current value is monitored in real time through the current sensor of the indoor unit fan, and the current reference value of the indoor unit fan is obtained from the database. Calculate the deviation percentage between the real - time fan current and the current reference value, and compare the deviation with the preset deviation threshold. If the deviation is greater than the deviation threshold, it indicates that the air duct may be blocked (such as blocked at the top), and the control system increases the frequency reduction rate. For example, increase the frequency reduction amplitude of the original gradient frequency reduction strategy from 10% to 15% (such as from 60Hz to 51Hz), or shorten the frequency reduction interval time (such as from 10 seconds to 5 seconds), or reduce the frequency by an additional 3Hz to 5Hz each time. In addition, the weight of the wind speed factor in the LSTM model can also be increased to strengthen the inhibitory effect of the wind speed on the temperature rise.

[0091] Generally speaking, the above second embodiment collects the first to fourth sampled temperatures at the inlet section, middle section, outlet section, and top area of the evaporator, calculates the temperature change rates of each area and the temperature difference between the outlet and the top, triggers a control warning based on the warning condition that at least one change rate or temperature difference exceeds the threshold within multiple consecutive sampling periods, combines the real-time compressor frequency, ambient temperature, indoor fan speed gear, historical temperature change rate, and start-stop times to input into the LSTM model to predict the evaporator outlet temperature, adopts a gradient frequency reduction strategy to adjust the compressor frequency in stages, and dynamically adjusts the frequency reduction rate by monitoring the deviation of the indoor fan current, achieving precise detection and adjustment of abnormal evaporator heat load, overcoming the limitations of traditional single-point sampling, fixed threshold, and single frequency reduction strategy, significantly improving the response speed, control accuracy, and operation stability of the refrigeration system, and effectively avoiding control out-of-step, frequent start-stop, and hardware damage.
