Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

It should be understood that the numbers used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can cover sequential implementations other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] See also Figure 1 , shows a flow chart of a heat pump auxiliary valve control method provided by the first embodiment of the present invention. The method can be executed by a heat pump auxiliary valve control device. The heat pump auxiliary valve control device can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software. The heat pump auxiliary valve control device can be configured in an electronic device. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0035] Step 101: Set a target exhaust superheat for the heat pump.

[0036] In this embodiment, the operating parameters such as the ambient temperature of the environment in which the heat pump is located and the outlet water temperature of the heat pump can be queried. Based on these operating parameters, the exhaust superheat as the adjustment target of the heat pump is set in accordance with the thermodynamic principles and relevant configuration parameters in the heat pump, and is recorded as the target exhaust superheat TESH.

[0037] For example, when the ambient temperature is low, the evaporation temperature of the heat pump will also decrease accordingly. In order to prevent frost on the evaporator and ensure the safe operation of the compressor, the target exhaust superheat TESH should be appropriately increased. When the ambient temperature is high, the evaporation temperature is relatively high and the evaporation rate of the refrigerant is accelerated. In this case, the target exhaust superheat TESH can be appropriately reduced.

[0038] For example, when the outlet water temperature is low, the heat pump's cooling capacity demand is high, and the refrigerant's evaporation pressure in the evaporator is low. To ensure the evaporator's heat exchange efficiency and system stability, the target exhaust superheat (TESH) is increased to ensure sufficient evaporation of the refrigerant in the evaporator. When the outlet water temperature is high, the heat pump's heating capacity demand is low, and the refrigerant's evaporation pressure in the evaporator is relatively high. In this case, the target exhaust superheat (TESH) can be appropriately lowered to improve the heat pump's heating efficiency.

[0039] Step 102: Collect actual exhaust superheat of the heat pump during multiple exhaust cycles.

[0040] In this embodiment, multiple periods for collecting exhaust superheat of the heat pump can be set on the time axis, which are recorded as exhaust periods TE. During the multiple exhaust periods, the operating parameters of the compressor (such as the exhaust temperature of the compressor, the exhaust pressure of the compressor, etc.) can be collected in real time for the heat pump. The exhaust superheat of the heat pump is calculated based on these compressor operating parameters and recorded as actual exhaust superheat CESH.

[0041] Step 103: Calculate the difference between the target exhaust superheat and the actual exhaust superheat to obtain the actual exhaust superheat deviation.

[0042] In this embodiment, the actual exhaust superheat CESH can be subtracted from the target exhaust superheat TESH to obtain the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH, that is, EDSH=TESH-CESH. The actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH represents the degree to which the target exhaust superheat TESH deviates from the actual exhaust superheat CESH.

[0043] Step 104 : Calculate the unit exhaust superheat change rate of the heat pump per unit time during the exhaust cycle based on the actual exhaust superheat deviation.

[0044] In this embodiment, the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH of each exhaust cycle TE can be arranged in chronological order to obtain a time series, and the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH in the time series can be statistically analyzed to obtain the exhaust superheat change per unit time of the heat pump in the exhaust cycle as the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH.

[0045] In a specific implementation, the actual exhaust superheat CESH of two adjacent exhaust cycles TE is extracted from the time series, and the actual exhaust superheat CESH in the current exhaust cycle is subtracted from the actual exhaust superheat CESH' in the previous exhaust cycle to obtain the exhaust superheat change rate RCESH. The ratio of the exhaust superheat change rate RCESH to the exhaust cycle TE is calculated as the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH, that is, PSRCESH=RCESH / TE=(CESH-CESH') / TE.

[0046] Step 105 : adjusting the valve cycle and proportional parameters of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump based on the actual exhaust superheat deviation, the target exhaust superheat and the unit exhaust superheat change rate under the condition of predicting the future exhaust superheat of the heat pump.

[0047] In this embodiment, the future exhaust superheat of the heat pump can be predicted based on the real-time operating data of the heat pump (i.e., the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH, the target exhaust superheat TESH and the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH). Under this condition, the valve adjustment period T and the proportional parameter P (i.e., the P value in PID) of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump are adjusted, and the adjustment control is intervened in advance. During the process of controlling the heat pump, adjustments are continuously made, so that the exhaust superheat of the heat pump quickly reaches the set state.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present invention, step 105 may include the following steps:

[0049] Step 1051 : Calculate the estimated exhaust superheat of the heat pump after a plurality of future valve adjustment cycles T based on the unit exhaust superheat change rate.

[0050] In this embodiment, the exhaust superheat of the heat pump after multiple valve adjustment cycles T of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve in the future can be calculated based on the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH, which is recorded as the estimated exhaust superheat EstESH.

[0051] The valve regulating cycle T is a cycle for regulating the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump. In the process of controlling the heat pump, the valve regulating cycle T is an adjustable parameter.

[0052] In the initial period (such as the estimated exhaust superheat EstESH of the heat pump predicted for the previous n times, where n is a positive integer), the valve adjustment period T is a default empirical value.

[0053] During the non-initial period, the estimated exhaust gas superheat EstESH of the heat pump is predicted using the current valve regulation cycle T.

[0054] In a specific implementation, the current valve regulation cycle T of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump can be queried, and the product of the current valve regulation cycle T, the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH and the preset number of cycles m (such as 2) is added to the current actual exhaust superheat CESH to obtain the estimated exhaust superheat EstESH of the heat pump after multiple valve regulation cycles T in the future, that is, EstESH=T×PSRCESH×m+CESH.

[0055] Step 1052: Take the absolute value of the difference between the estimated exhaust superheat and the target exhaust superheat to obtain the estimated exhaust superheat deviation.

[0056] In this embodiment, the absolute value of the difference between the estimated exhaust superheat EstESH and the target exhaust superheat TESH can be taken to obtain the estimated exhaust superheat deviation, that is, the estimated exhaust superheat deviation = ABS(EstESH-TESH), where ABS is a function of taking the absolute value, so that the estimated exhaust superheat deviation represents the degree to which the estimated exhaust superheat EstESH of the heat pump after multiple valve adjustment cycles T in the future deviates from the target exhaust superheat TESH.

[0057] Step 1053: If the estimated exhaust superheat deviation is less than or equal to the preset steady-state value, the valve regulation period of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is adjusted to the upper limit value, and the proportional parameter of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is adjusted to the lower limit value.

[0058] If the estimated exhaust superheat deviation is less than or equal to the preset steady-state value D2, it means that the estimated exhaust superheat EstESH of the heat pump after multiple auxiliary electronic expansion valve adjustment cycles T in the future deviates from the target exhaust superheat TESH to a small extent, and the estimated exhaust superheat EstESH of the heat pump after multiple auxiliary electronic expansion valve adjustment cycles T in the future fluctuates around the target exhaust superheat TESH. At this time, the valve adjustment cycle T of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is adjusted to the upper limit value T3 within its adjustable range, and the proportional parameter P of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is adjusted to the lower limit value P3 within its adjustable range, so as to maintain the control state of the heat pump.

[0059] Step 1054: If the estimated exhaust superheat deviation is greater than the preset steady-state value, the valve regulation cycle of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is adjusted within a range below the upper limit value based on the actual exhaust superheat deviation, the target exhaust superheat and the unit exhaust superheat change rate.

[0060] If the estimated exhaust superheat deviation is greater than the preset steady-state value D2, it means that the estimated exhaust superheat EstESH of the heat pump after multiple valve regulation cycles T of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve in the future deviates from the target exhaust superheat TESH to a large extent. At this time, the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump can be adjusted in the range below the upper limit value based on the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH, the target exhaust superheat TESH and the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH. That is, the adjusted valve regulation cycle T is less than the upper limit value T3.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present invention, step 1054 may further include the following steps:

[0062] Step 10541: Set the target exhaust temperature change rate for the heat pump based on the actual exhaust superheat deviation.

[0063] In this embodiment, the exhaust temperature change rate as the adjustment target of the heat pump can be set according to the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH by using table lookup, function calculation, etc., which is recorded as the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH.

[0064] Among them, the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH is negatively correlated with the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH, that is, the larger the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH, the smaller the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH, and conversely, the smaller the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH, the larger the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH.

[0065] In a specific implementation, on the one hand, the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH setting, the first superheat change deviation threshold and the second superheat change deviation threshold for adjusting the valve adjustment period T of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump can be queried.

[0066] The first superheat change deviation threshold is smaller than the second superheat change deviation threshold.

[0067] The first superheat change deviation threshold and its inverse, and the second superheat change deviation threshold and its inverse can be divided into five sections.

[0068] On the other hand, the first change rate TPSRCESH0 , the second change rate TPSRCESH1 , and the third change rate TPSRCESH2 set for the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH of the heat pump may be queried.

[0069] The first change rate TPSRCESH0 is smaller than the second change rate TPSRCESH1 , and the second change rate TPSRCESH1 is smaller than the third change rate TPSRCESH2 .

[0070] If the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH is less than the inverse of the second superheat change deviation threshold, the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH of the heat pump is set to the third change rate TPSRCESH2, that is, TPSRCESH=TPSRCESH2.

[0071] If the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH is greater than or equal to the inverse of the second superheat change deviation threshold and less than the inverse of the first superheat change deviation threshold, the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH of the heat pump is set to the second change rate TPSRCESH1, that is, TPSRCESH=TPSRCESH1.

[0072] If the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH is greater than or equal to the inverse of the first superheat change deviation threshold and less than the first superheat change deviation threshold, the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH of the heat pump is set to the first change rate TPSRCESH0, that is, TPSRCESH=TPSRCESH0.

[0073] If the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH is greater than or equal to the first superheat change deviation threshold and less than or equal to the second superheat change deviation threshold, the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH of the heat pump is set to the opposite of the second change rate TPSRCESH1, that is, TPSRCESH=-TPSRCESH1.

[0074] If the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH is greater than the second superheat change deviation threshold, the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH of the heat pump is set to the inverse of the third change rate TPSRCESH2, that is, TPSRCESH=-TPSRCESH2.

[0075] Of course, the above-described method for setting the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH for the heat pump is merely illustrative. When implementing this embodiment, other methods for setting the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH for the heat pump may be employed based on practical needs. For example, multiple thresholds may be set for the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH, which is suitable for regulating the valve adjustment period T of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump, to divide the heat pump into more segments, or multiple values ​​may be set for the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH of the heat pump to map to more segments, and so on. This embodiment does not limit this. Furthermore, in addition to the above-described method for setting the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH for the heat pump, those skilled in the art may also employ other methods for setting the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH for the heat pump based on practical needs, and this embodiment does not limit this either.

[0076] Step 10542: Query the first cycle value, the second cycle value, and the third cycle value of the valve regulation cycle setting of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump within a range below the upper limit value.

[0077] The first cycle value T0, the second cycle value T1 and the third cycle value T2 set for the valve regulation cycle T of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump are queried within a range below the upper limit value.

[0078] The first period value T0 is smaller than the second period value T1, the second period value T1 is smaller than the third period value T2, and the third period value T2 is smaller than the upper limit value T3.

[0079] Step 10543: Take the absolute value of the difference between the unit exhaust superheat change rate and the target exhaust temperature change rate to obtain the superheat change rate deviation.

[0080] In this embodiment, the absolute value of the difference between the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH and the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH can be taken to obtain the superheat change rate deviation, so that the superheat change rate deviation represents the degree to which the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH deviates from the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH.

[0081] Step 10544: If the superheat change rate deviation is less than or equal to the preset change deviation, the valve regulation period of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is adjusted to a first period value.

[0082] If the superheat change rate deviation is less than or equal to the preset change deviation D1 (i.e., ABS (PSRCESH-TPSRCESH) < D1, where ABS is a function of the absolute value), indicating that the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH fluctuates around the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH, and the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH is of appropriate size, the valve regulation period T of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is adjusted to the first period value T0, i.e., T=T0.

[0083] Step 10545: If the unit exhaust superheat change rate is less than the difference between the target exhaust temperature change rate and the preset change deviation, the valve regulation period of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is adjusted to a second period value.

[0084] If the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH is less than the difference between the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH and the preset change deviation D1 (i.e., PSRCESH < TPSRCESH - D1), it means that the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH is too small, then the valve regulation period T of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is adjusted to the second period value T1, i.e., T=T1.

[0085] Step 10546: If the unit exhaust superheat change rate is greater than the sum of the target exhaust temperature change rate and the preset change deviation, the valve regulation period of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is adjusted to a third period value.

[0086] If the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH is greater than the sum of the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH and the preset change deviation D1 (i.e., PSRCESH>TPSRCESH+D1), the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH is too large, then the valve regulation period T of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is adjusted to the third period value T2, i.e., T=T2.

[0087] Of course, the above-mentioned method for adjusting the valve regulation period of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is merely an example. When implementing this embodiment, other methods for adjusting the valve regulation period of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump can be set according to actual conditions. For example, more segments can be set using the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH, the target exhaust temperature change rate TPSRCESH, and the change deviation D1, more values ​​can be set for the valve regulation period of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump to map to more segments, and so on. This embodiment does not limit this. In addition, in addition to the above-mentioned method for adjusting the valve regulation period of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump, those skilled in the art can also adopt other methods for adjusting the valve regulation period of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0088] Step 1055: Based on the actual exhaust superheat deviation, adjust the proportional parameter of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump within a range above the lower limit.

[0089] In this embodiment, the proportional parameter P of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump can be adjusted within a range above the lower limit value P3 according to the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH, that is, the adjusted proportional parameter P is greater than the lower limit value P3.

[0090] Among them, the proportional parameter P is negatively correlated with the absolute value of the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH, that is, the larger the absolute value of the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH, the smaller the proportional parameter P, and conversely, the smaller the absolute value of the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH, the larger the proportional parameter P.

[0091] In a specific implementation, on the one hand, the first superheat proportional deviation threshold and the second superheat proportional deviation threshold set for the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH, which are suitable for adjusting the proportional parameter P of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump, can be queried.

[0092] The first superheat ratio deviation threshold is smaller than the second superheat ratio deviation threshold.

[0093] The first superheat ratio deviation threshold value and its inverse number, and the second superheat ratio deviation threshold value and its inverse number can be divided into five sections.

[0094] On the other hand, the first proportional value P0, the second proportional value P1 and the third proportional value P2 set for the proportional parameter P of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump can be queried within a range above the lower limit value P3.

[0095] The lower limit value P3 is smaller than the first proportional value P0, the first proportional value P0 is smaller than the second proportional value P1, and the second proportional value P1 is smaller than the third proportional value P2.

[0096] If the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH is less than the inverse of the second superheat proportional deviation threshold, the proportional parameter P of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is adjusted to a third proportional value P2, ie, P=P2.

[0097] If the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH is greater than or equal to the inverse of the second superheat proportional deviation threshold and less than the inverse of the first superheat proportional deviation threshold, the proportional parameter P of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is adjusted to the second proportional value P1, that is, P=P1.

[0098] If the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH is greater than or equal to the inverse of the first superheat proportional deviation threshold and less than or equal to the first superheat proportional deviation threshold, the proportional parameter P of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is adjusted to the first proportional value P0, that is, P=P0.

[0099] If the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH is greater than or equal to the first superheat proportional deviation threshold and less than or equal to the second superheat proportional deviation threshold, the proportional parameter P of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is adjusted to the second proportional value P1, that is, P=P1.

[0100] If the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH is greater than the second superheat proportional deviation threshold, the proportional parameter P of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is adjusted to a third proportional value P2, that is, P=P2.

[0101] Of course, the above-described method for adjusting the proportional parameter P is merely an example. When implementing this embodiment, other adjustment proportional parameters P may be set according to actual circumstances. For example, multiple thresholds may be set for the actual exhaust gas superheat deviation EDSH, for adjusting the proportional parameter P of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump, to divide the heat pump into more segments, or more values ​​may be set for the proportional parameter P of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump to map to more segments, etc. This embodiment does not limit this. In addition, in addition to the above-described adjustment proportional parameter P, those skilled in the art may also adopt other adjustment proportional parameters P according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0102] Step 106 : Adjust the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump within the current valve adjustment cycle according to the proportional parameter, the valve adjustment cycle, the actual exhaust superheat deviation, and the unit exhaust superheat change rate.

[0103] In this embodiment, the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump can be adjusted within the current valve regulation cycle based on the proportional parameter P, the valve regulation cycle T, the actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH and the unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH.

[0104] In the specific implementation, the proportional parameter P, valve regulation period T, actual exhaust superheat deviation EDSH, and unit exhaust superheat change rate PSRCESH are input into the proportional-integral-differential function set for the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump for calculation to obtain the regulation step number Step within the current valve regulation period T, that is, Step=EviPID(P,T, EDSH, PSRCESH), where EviPID is the proportional-integral-differential function set for the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump.

[0105] The auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is adjusted according to the adjustment step number Step. When the adjustment step number Step is a negative value, the opening of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is reduced. When the adjustment step number Step is a positive value, the opening of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is increased.

[0106] When the opening of the heat pump's auxiliary electronic expansion valve increases, more refrigerant will enter the evaporator, and the amount of refrigerant absorbing heat and evaporating in the evaporator will increase.

[0107] When the opening of the heat pump's auxiliary electronic expansion valve decreases, the amount of refrigerant entering the evaporator decreases, and the refrigerant fully absorbs heat in the evaporator, causing the refrigerant vapor superheat at the evaporator outlet to increase, and the exhaust superheat also increases accordingly.

[0108] Properly adjusting the opening of the heat pump's auxiliary electronic expansion valve can match the refrigerant flow rate within the evaporator to the heat load. Under varying operating conditions, such as ambient temperature and indoor load, the auxiliary electronic expansion valve precisely controls the refrigerant flow rate, maintaining an appropriate superheat at the evaporator outlet. This prevents problems such as liquid carryover (too low a superheat) that can damage the compressor due to liquid shock, or excessive superheat that can lead to high compressor discharge temperatures and reduced system performance. This ensures that the heat pump system maintains optimal performance and efficiency under varying operating conditions, keeping the discharge superheat within a reasonable range and optimizing heat pump performance.

[0109] In this embodiment, a target exhaust superheat is set for the heat pump; the actual exhaust superheat is collected from the heat pump in multiple exhaust cycles; the difference between the target exhaust superheat and the actual exhaust superheat is calculated to obtain the actual exhaust superheat deviation; the unit exhaust superheat change rate of the heat pump per unit time in the exhaust cycle is calculated based on the actual exhaust superheat deviation; the valve regulating cycle and proportional parameters of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump are adjusted under the condition of predicting the future exhaust superheat of the heat pump based on the actual exhaust superheat deviation, the target exhaust superheat and the unit exhaust superheat change rate; the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is adjusted within the current valve regulating cycle based on the proportional parameter, the valve regulating cycle, the actual exhaust superheat deviation and the unit exhaust superheat change rate. This embodiment predicts the future state of the heat pump and intervenes in the regulation and control of the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump in advance, which effectively improves the response speed. In addition, the auxiliary electronic expansion valve of the heat pump is adjusted according to a variety of different operating parameters to improve the accuracy of the regulation, so that the exhaust superheat of the heat pump quickly reaches the set state, and the heat pump is quickly adaptively adjusted to ensure the stable performance of the heat pump, so that the heat pump is in an efficient and reliable state.
