Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electrical equipment, for example, to a temperature control device and a control method thereof, a control device, and electrical equipment. Background Art

[0002] An evaporator is a type of heat exchange device that uses phase change to condense a solution or precipitate a substance from it. Evaporators are often used in temperature control devices (such as cooling / heating equipment).

[0003] Related technology provides a cooling and heating device with adjustable temperature and humidity, including a housing and a door. The housing is provided with a heating system, a cooling system, and a controller, and a compressor compartment is provided on the outside of the housing. The cooling and heating device also includes a water box and a humidity-regulating fan provided above the water box. An air inlet duct and a return air duct are provided on both sides of the housing, respectively. A temperature and humidity regulating chamber is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing. The temperature and humidity regulating chamber is layered from top to bottom with an evaporator chamber, a humidity-regulating fan chamber, and a water box chamber. The inlet of the evaporator chamber is connected to the return air duct, and the outlet of the evaporator chamber is connected to the return air duct through dampers 1 and 2, so that the air flow is directly sent into the air inlet duct in one of two ways, or enters the air inlet duct through the humidity-regulating fan chamber and the water box chamber. When the air flow enters the humidity-regulating fan chamber, the humidity-regulating fan starts.

[0004] In conventional cooling and heating equipment, the evaporator chamber inlet is directly connected to the return air duct. Air transported by the return air duct must pass through the evaporator chamber before entering the supply air duct. In this case, if the humidity of the air transported by the return air duct is high, the probability of frost on the evaporator will increase significantly, affecting the normal operation of the evaporator.

In this case, most of the air entering the duct will come into contact with the evaporator, which helps improve the evaporator's operating efficiency. Moreover, since the air humidity is low at this time, the probability of frost on the evaporator will not be significantly increased.

[0087] It should be noted that, unless there is any conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0088] An evaporator is a type of heat exchange device that uses phase change to condense a solution or precipitate a substance from it. Evaporators are often used in temperature control devices (such as cooling / heating equipment).

[0089] Related technology provides a cooling and heating device with adjustable temperature and humidity, including a housing and a door. The housing is provided with a heating system, a cooling system, and a controller, and a compressor compartment is provided on the outside of the housing. The cooling and heating device also includes a water box and a humidity-regulating fan provided above the water box. An air inlet duct and a return air duct are provided on both sides of the housing, respectively. A temperature and humidity regulating chamber is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing. The temperature and humidity regulating chamber is layered from top to bottom with an evaporator chamber, a humidity-regulating fan chamber, and a water box chamber. The inlet of the evaporator chamber is connected to the return air duct, and the outlet of the evaporator chamber is connected to the return air duct through dampers 1 and 2, so that the air flow is directly sent into the air inlet duct in one of two ways, or enters the air inlet duct through the humidity-regulating fan chamber and the water box chamber. When the air flow enters the humidity-regulating fan chamber, the humidity-regulating fan starts.

[0090] In conventional cooling and heating equipment, the evaporator chamber inlet is directly connected to the return air duct. Air transported by the return air duct must pass through the evaporator chamber before entering the supply air duct. In this case, if the humidity of the air transported by the return air duct is high, the probability of frost on the evaporator will increase significantly, affecting the normal operation of the evaporator.

[0091] Combine Figures 1 to 10 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a temperature control device 100 , which includes a housing 10 , a first damper 20 , a second damper 30 , a main air supply module 40 and an evaporator 50 .

[0092] An air duct 101 is formed inside the housing 10 , and the housing 10 is provided with an air outlet 102 , a first air inlet 103 and a second air inlet 104 of the air duct 101 . Along the air outlet direction of the air duct 101 , the first air inlet 103 is closer to the air outlet 102 than the second air inlet 104 .

[0093] A first damper 20 is disposed within the housing 10 near the first air inlet 103, and a second damper 30 is disposed within the housing 10 near the second air inlet 104. The first damper 20 is used to open or close the first air inlet 103, and the second damper 30 is used to open or close the second air inlet 104. A main air supply module 40 is located within the air duct 101 and is used to deliver air from the air duct 101 to the air outlet 102. An evaporator 50 is located within the air duct 101, between the first damper 20 and the second damper 30, along the outlet direction of the air duct 101.

[0094] Optionally, the first damper 20 and the second damper 30 may be Figure 2 The damper in the form of a grille with adjustable opening can also be a damper in the form of a double-leaf door or a sliding damper that can be opened and closed by sliding. The specific forms of the first damper 20 and the second damper 30 can be determined according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0095] In the disclosed embodiment, a temperature control device 100 includes a housing 10 having an air duct 101 formed therein. A first air inlet 103 and a second air inlet 104 are provided on the housing 10. The housing 10 defines an air outlet direction along the air duct 101, with the first air inlet 103 being closer to the air outlet 102 than the second air inlet 104. The temperature control device 100 also includes a first damper 20 for opening or closing the first air inlet 103 and a second damper 30 for opening or closing the second air inlet 104. The evaporator 50 is located between the first damper 20 and the second damper 30.

[0096] External air can be delivered into the air duct 101 through any one of the first air inlet 103 and the second air inlet 104. Specifically, when the main air supply module 40 is started, external air can be delivered into the air duct 101 through any one of the first air inlet 103 and the second air inlet 104. The main air supply module 40 can drive the air in the air duct 101 to flow toward the air outlet 102 along the outlet direction of the air duct 101.

[0097] If the humidity of the air supplied to the air duct 101 is high, then only the first damper 20 can be opened, and the air can only enter the air duct 101 through the first air inlet 103. In this case, since the first air inlet 103 is closer to the air outlet 102 than the second air inlet 104, most of the air will flow directly to the air outlet 102 without passing through the evaporator 50, which can avoid the evaporator 50 from coming into contact with a large amount of air with high humidity, thereby reducing the probability of frost on the evaporator 50 and contributing to the normal operation of the evaporator 50.

[0098] If the humidity of the air entering the air duct 101 is low, only the second damper 30 can be opened, and the air can only enter the air outlet passage through the second air inlet 104. In this case, most of the air entering the air duct 101 will come into contact with the evaporator 50, which helps improve the operating efficiency of the evaporator 50. Moreover, since the humidity of the air is low at this time, the probability of frosting on the evaporator 50 will not be significantly increased.

[0099] In some embodiments, the number of the first air inlets 103 and the number of the second air inlets 104 are equal. The number of the first dampers 20 is equal to the number of the first air inlets 103, that is, the first dampers 20 correspond to the first air inlets 103 one-to-one, and the number of the second dampers 30 is equal to the number of the second air inlets 104, that is, the second dampers 30 correspond to the second air inlets 104 one-to-one.

[0100] In some embodiments, the housing 10 is in a straight cylindrical shape, and an air duct 101 formed inside the housing 10 extends along the length of the housing 10. One end of the housing 10 is sealed, and an air outlet 102 is provided at the other end of the housing 10. A first air inlet 103 and a second air inlet 104 are provided on the sidewalls of the housing 10. The air outlet direction of the air duct 101 is from the sealed end of the housing 10 to the air outlet 102 of the housing 10.

[0101] In some embodiments, combined Figure 1 As shown, the housing 10 is cylindrical and vertically arranged, with an air duct 101 formed inside the housing 10 extending vertically. The air outlet 102 is at the top, and below the air outlet 102, the main air supply module 40, the first air inlet 103, the evaporator 50, and the second damper 30 are arranged in order from top to bottom.

[0102] In some embodiments, combined Figure 1 As shown, the temperature control device 100 also includes a drainage shell 1011, which includes two openings. The edge of one opening of the drainage shell 1011 is connected to the side wall of the outer shell 10, and the first damper 20 and the second damper 30 are both contained inside the drainage shell 1011. The external air is drained to the first damper 20 and the second damper 30 through the other opening of the drainage shell 1011.

[0103] In some embodiments, combined Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the main air supply module 40 includes one or more main fans 401. Specifically, the main air supply module 40 also includes a first fan bracket 402. The main fans 401 are mounted on the first fan bracket 402, which is connected to the inner wall of the housing 10. When the main fans 401 are started, external air can be supplied into the air duct 101 through either the first air inlet 103 or the second air inlet 104. The main fans 401 can then drive the air in the air duct 101 to flow toward the air outlet 102 along the outlet direction of the air duct 101.

[0104] Optionally, the first fan bracket 402 may be connected to the inner wall of the housing 10 by bolts. The first fan bracket 402 may also be connected to the inner wall of the housing 10 by other means, such as clamping or welding.

[0105] In some embodiments, combined Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the temperature control device 100 also includes a humidification module 60. The humidification module 60 is located within the air duct 101. Along the outlet direction of the air duct 101, the humidification module 60 is closer to the air outlet 102 than the evaporator 50. The humidification module 60 is used to generate water mist. When the main fan 401 is activated, the main fan 401 can drive the water mist in the air duct 101 to flow along the outlet direction of the air duct 101 toward the air outlet 102.

[0106] In some embodiments, the humidification module 60 includes a water box 601, an oscillating plate 602, and a vibration generator (not shown). The water box 601 is used to store water, the oscillating plate 602 is disposed within the water box 601, and the vibration generator is connected to the oscillating plate 602 to drive the oscillating plate 602 to vibrate. The vibration generator can drive the oscillating plate 602 to generate high-frequency oscillations. The high-frequency oscillations of the oscillating plate 602 can throw the water in the water tank off the surface, thereby producing a natural and elegant mist, thereby achieving a humidification effect.

[0107] In some embodiments, the humidification module 60 further includes a water box bracket 603 , which is connected to the inner wall of the housing 10 , and the water box 601 is disposed on the water box bracket 603 .

[0108] Optionally, the water box bracket 603 can be connected to the inner wall of the housing 10 by bolts. The water box bracket 603 and the inner wall of the housing 10 can also be connected by other means, such as clamping or welding.

[0109] In some embodiments, the water box 601 may be provided with a water supply port 604 and a water level detection device (not shown in the figure).

[0110] In some embodiments, the surface of the oscillating plate 602 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 6021, which help to more efficiently strike the surrounding water, thereby more efficiently generating water mist. Optionally, the plurality of protrusions 6021 are distributed in a matrix on the surface of the oscillating plate 602.

[0111] In some embodiments, the humidification module 60 includes a water box 601 and a heater (not shown). The water box 601 is used to store water, and the heater is arranged inside the water box 601 to heat the water to form steam, thereby achieving a humidification effect.

[0112] The humidification module 60 is closer to the air outlet 102 than the evaporator 50. When the humidification module 60 generates water mist, under the drive of the main air supply module 40, most of the water mist generated by the humidification module 60 flows directly to the air outlet 102 without passing through the evaporator 50 and contacting the evaporator 50. This avoids frosting of the evaporator 50 due to the contact of the water mist generated by the humidification module 60 with the evaporator 50 to a certain extent.

[0113] In some embodiments, the housing 10 is cylindrical and vertically arranged, with an air duct 101 formed within the housing 10 extending vertically. An air outlet 102 is located at the top. Below the air outlet 102, the main air supply module 40, the humidification module 60, and the evaporator 50 are arranged in order from top to bottom. When the humidification module 60 generates water mist, driven by the main air supply module 40, most of the water mist generated by the humidification module 60 flows directly toward the air outlet 102 above, rather than drifting downward to the evaporator 50. This, to a certain extent, prevents the water mist generated by the humidification module 60 from contacting the evaporator 50 and causing frost on the evaporator 50.

[0114] In some embodiments, combined Figure 1 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the temperature control device 100 further includes an auxiliary air supply module 70. The auxiliary air supply module 70 is located in the air duct 101 and is used to send air in the air duct 101 to the air outlet 102. Along the air outlet direction of the air duct 101, the auxiliary air supply module 70 is located between the evaporator 50 and the humidification module 60.

[0115] Since the auxiliary air supply module 70 is located between the evaporator 50 and the humidification module 60, the auxiliary air supply module 70 can be turned on when the humidification module 60 generates water mist. While the main air supply module 40 drives the water mist generated by the humidification module 60 to flow toward the air outlet 102, the auxiliary air supply module 70 can blow the water mist generated by the humidification module 60 toward the air outlet 102. On the one hand, this can accelerate the flow of the water mist generated by the humidification module 60 to the air outlet 102. On the other hand, it can also avoid the water mist from contacting the evaporator 50 and causing frost on the evaporator 50 to a certain extent.

[0116] In some embodiments, the housing 10 is cylindrical and vertically arranged, with an air duct 101 extending vertically within the housing 10. An air outlet 102 is located at the top, and below the air outlet 102, the main air supply module 40, the humidification module 60, the auxiliary air supply module 70, and the evaporator 50 are arranged in order from top to bottom.

[0117] When the humidification module 60 generates mist, driven by the main air supply module 40, the majority of the mist flows directly upward toward the air outlet 102, rather than drifting downward toward the evaporator 50. Simultaneously, the auxiliary air supply module 70 below the humidification module 60 also blows air upward, directing the mist generated by the humidification module 60 toward the air outlet 102, further preventing the mist from drifting downward toward the evaporator 50. The combined action of the main air supply module 40 and the auxiliary air supply module 70 accelerates the flow of mist generated by the humidification module 60 toward the air outlet 102 and, to a certain extent, prevents the mist from colliding with the evaporator 50 and causing frost to form thereon.

[0118] In some embodiments, the auxiliary air supply module 70 includes an air duct 701 and an auxiliary fan 702. The air duct 701 is annular, with an air inlet and an air outlet 7011 defined in the wall of the air duct 701. The air outlet 7011 of the air duct 701 faces the humidification module 60. The auxiliary fan 702 has an outlet connected to the air inlet of the air duct 701. The auxiliary fan 702 can input air into the air inlet of the air duct 701 through its outlet. The input air flows out of the air outlet 7011 of the air duct 701, and the air can blow the water mist generated by the humidification module 60 toward the air outlet 102.

[0119] Optionally, at least one of the air duct 701 and the auxiliary fan 702 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 10. Alternatively, the auxiliary air supply module 70 may further be provided with a second fan bracket 703, on which the air duct 701 and the auxiliary fan 702 are provided, and the second fan bracket 703 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 10.

[0120] Optionally, the second fan bracket 703 may be connected to the inner wall of the housing 10 by bolts. The second fan bracket 703 may also be connected to the inner wall of the housing 10 by other means, such as clamping or welding.

[0121] Optionally, the shape of the air duct 701 can be determined according to actual design requirements. For example, the air duct 701 can be in the shape of a square ring or a circular ring.

[0122] In some embodiments, combined Figure 1 and Figure 9 As shown, the temperature control device 100 further includes a heating module 80. The heating module 80 is located within the air duct 101, along the air outlet direction of the air duct 101, between the evaporator 50 and the humidification module 60. The heating module 80 heats the air in the air duct 101 to provide the heat required for constant temperature. The power and number of heating modules 80 can be set according to the compartment load.

[0123] The heating module 80 is located between the evaporator 50 and the humidification module 60. After the heating module 80 heats the air in the air duct 101, the water mist generated by the humidification module 60 can be kept away from the evaporator 50, which can to a certain extent prevent the water mist from contacting the evaporator 50 and causing frost on the evaporator 50.

[0124] In some embodiments, the housing 10 is cylindrical and vertically arranged, with an air duct 101 formed within the housing 10 extending vertically. An air outlet 102 is located at the top. Below this outlet 102, the main air supply module 40, humidification module 60, heating module 80, and evaporator 50 are arranged in order from top to bottom. The heating module 80 heats the air in the air duct 101, causing the mist generated by the humidification module 60 to float upward and away from the evaporator 50, thereby preventing the mist from frosting the evaporator 50.

[0125] In some embodiments, the auxiliary fan 702 is closer to the humidification module 60 than the heating module 80, and the heating module 80 is adjacent to the evaporator 50. The auxiliary air supply module 70 can blow the water mist generated by the humidification module 60 toward the air outlet 102. This can not only accelerate the flow of the water mist generated by the humidification module 60 toward the air outlet 102, but also to a certain extent prevent the water mist from coming into contact with the heating module 80, preventing the water mist from affecting the life of the heating module 80. The heating module 80 is adjacent to the evaporator 50, and the heat generated by the heating module 80 helps to defrost the evaporator 50.

[0126] In some embodiments, the housing 10 is in the shape of a straight cylinder and is arranged vertically, and the air duct 101 formed inside the housing 10 extends in the vertical direction. The air outlet 102 is at the top, and below the air outlet 102, the main air supply module 40, the humidification module 60, the auxiliary air supply module 70, the heating module 80 and the evaporator 50 are arranged in order from top to bottom. The auxiliary air supply module 70 can blow the water mist generated by the humidification module 60 toward the air outlet 102. On the one hand, this can accelerate the flow of the water mist generated by the humidification module 60 toward the air outlet 102. On the other hand, it can also prevent the water mist from contacting the heating module 80 and the evaporator 50 to a certain extent, preventing the water mist from affecting the life of the heating module 80. It can also prevent the water mist from contacting the evaporator 50 and causing frost on the evaporator 50 to a certain extent. In addition, the heating module 80 is adjacent to the evaporator 50, and the heat generated by the heating module 80 helps the evaporator 50 to defrost.

[0127] In some embodiments, the heating module 80 includes a supporting bracket 801 and a heating tube 802 . The heating tube 802 is disposed on the supporting bracket 801 . The supporting bracket 801 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 10 . The heating tube 802 is used to flow high-temperature water to heat the surrounding air.

[0128] Optionally, the supporting bracket 801 may be connected to the inner wall of the housing 10 by bolts. The supporting bracket 801 may also be connected to the inner wall of the housing 10 by other means, such as clamping or welding.

[0129] In some embodiments, the heating module 80 includes a heating wire, and the surrounding air is heated by energizing the heating wire to increase its temperature.

[0130] In some embodiments, the combination Figure 1 and Figure 10 As shown, the temperature control device 100 further includes a defrost module 90, which is located in the air duct 101 and close to the evaporator 50. The defrost module 90 can generate heat to melt frost on the surface of the evaporator 50.

[0131] In some embodiments, the defrost module 90 includes a refrigeration fin bracket 901, a semiconductor refrigeration fin 902, a cold end radiator 903, a hot end radiator 904, and a cooling fan 905. The refrigeration fin bracket 901 is used to connect to the inner wall of the housing 10, the semiconductor refrigeration fin 902 is disposed on the refrigeration fin bracket 901, the cold end radiator 903 is disposed on the side of the semiconductor refrigeration fin 902 away from the evaporator 50, the hot end radiator 904 is disposed on the side of the semiconductor refrigeration fin 902 close to the evaporator 50, and the cooling fan 905 is disposed on the hot end radiator 904 and faces the evaporator 50.

[0132] Optionally, the cooling fin bracket 901 may be connected to the inner wall of the housing 10 by bolts. The cooling fin bracket 901 may also be connected to the inner wall of the housing 10 by other means, such as clamping or welding.

[0133] The semiconductor refrigeration chip 902 is made of semiconductor materials. The semiconductor refrigeration chip 902 uses the Peltier effect of semiconductor materials. When direct current passes through a galvanic couple made of two different semiconductor materials in series, heat can be absorbed and released at both ends of the galvanic couple respectively. The heat generated is used to defrost and the cooling capacity is used to maintain the room temperature.

[0134] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the side facing the evaporator 50 is defined as the first side, and the side facing away from the evaporator 50 is defined as the second side. When the evaporator 50 needs to be defrosted, the heat generated by the first side of the semiconductor refrigeration plate 902 passes through the hot end radiator 904 and the cooling fan 905, so that the heat is quickly convected and evenly distributed on the evaporator 50, and the defrosting speed is fast. The second side of the semiconductor refrigeration plate 902 generates cold energy at the same time, and the cold energy is dissipated through the cold end radiator 903 to stabilize the temperature in the room. Optionally, the defrost module 90 also includes a heat insulation plate 906. The heat insulation plate 906 can physically partition the first side and the second side of the semiconductor refrigeration plate 902 to avoid the consumption of heat and cold offsetting each other.

[0135] In the disclosed embodiment, the above-mentioned defrost module 90 can continue to output cold air when the evaporator 50 is defrosting, thereby achieving rapid humidification. Moreover, basically no additional heat is introduced during humidification, and there is no condensation loss, which helps to achieve efficient energy saving and precise temperature control.

[0136] In some embodiments, the defrost module 90 includes a heating plate. The temperature of the heating plate is increased by energizing the heating plate, and the evaporator 50 is defrosted by radiating heat to the evaporator 50 .

[0137] Combine Figure 11 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control method for a temperature control device. The control method is used to control the temperature control device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. The control method can be executed by the control device. The control method includes:

[0138] S1101 , during the operation of the evaporator 50 , the control device obtains reference data that affects the frosting condition of the evaporator 50 .

[0139] S1102 : The control device controls one of the first damper 20 and the second damper 30 to be opened and the other to be closed based on the reference data.

[0140] In some embodiments, the reference data includes the humidity value of the target compartment and the working state of the humidification module 60 , where the working state of the humidification module 60 is an on state and an off state.

[0141] Based on the reference data, one of the first damper 20 and the second damper 30 is controlled to be open and the other is controlled to be closed, including: when the humidity value of the target compartment exceeds a preset humidity threshold, the first damper 20 is controlled to be closed and the second damper 30 is controlled to be open; when the humidity value of the target compartment does not exceed the preset humidity threshold and the humidification module 60 is in the on state, the first damper 20 is controlled to be open and the second damper 30 is controlled to be closed.

[0142] Specifically, when the humidity value of the target compartment exceeds a preset humidity threshold, the first damper 20 is controlled to close and the second damper 30 is controlled to open. At this time, the external air enters the air duct 101 from the second air inlet 104 and flows to the air outlet 102 after passing through the evaporator 50.

[0143] When the humidity value of the target compartment does not exceed the preset humidity threshold, the humidification module 60 is automatically turned on. At this time, the external air entering the air duct 101 contains a large amount of wet steam. If the external air flow passes through the evaporator 50 at this time, it will cause a large amount of frost to form on the evaporator 50, and the humidity will decrease after the steam condenses. In this case, the humidification module 60 must continue to operate at high power to maintain a stable humidity, resulting in energy waste and low efficiency. In this case, the first damper 20 is controlled to open and the second damper 30 is controlled to close. At this time, the external air entering the air duct 101 does not pass through the evaporator 50 but flows directly to the air outlet 102. This can prevent the evaporator 50 from coming into contact with a large amount of high-humidity air, thereby reducing the probability of frost on the evaporator 50 and facilitating the normal operation of the evaporator 50. In addition, the humidification module 60 does not need to continue to operate at high power, reducing energy waste.

[0144] In some embodiments, when the humidity value of the target compartment exceeds a preset humidity threshold, the main air supply module 40, the heating module 80, and the evaporator 50 are controlled to start working, and the first damper 20 is controlled to be closed and the second damper 30 is controlled to be opened; then, it is determined whether the evaporator 50 is frosted. If it is determined that the evaporator 50 is frosted, the evaporator 50 is controlled to stop working, and the defrost module 90 is controlled to start working to defrost the evaporator 50; when it is determined that the evaporator 50 has finished defrosting, the defrost module 90 is controlled to stop working, and the evaporator 50 is controlled to continue working.

[0145] In some embodiments, when the humidity value of the target compartment does not exceed a preset humidity threshold, the main air supply module 40, the heating module 80, the evaporator 50 and the humidification module 60 are controlled to start working, and the first damper 20 is controlled to open and the second damper 30 is controlled to close; then, it is determined whether the evaporator 50 is frosted. If it is determined that the evaporator 50 is frosted, the evaporator 50 is controlled to stop working, and the defrost module 90 is controlled to start working to defrost the evaporator 50; when it is determined that the evaporator 50 has finished defrosting, the defrost module 90 is controlled to stop working, and the evaporator 50 is controlled to continue working.
