Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of compressor control technology, and in particular to a compressor frequency control method, a compressor, electronic equipment, and a storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, compressor frequency control in variable frequency heat pump units includes stepless speed regulation, stepless adjustment, and step-by-step adjustment. Stepless speed regulation adjusts the compressor frequency based on the temperature difference between the set temperature and the outlet water temperature, as well as the amount of temperature difference change. Under high load conditions with many rooms being heated, the compressor generally needs to maintain a high frequency to drive the heat pump, thereby enabling the room temperature to reach the set temperature. However, under low load conditions with good room insulation or fewer rooms being heated, if the compressor still maintains a high frequency, the water temperature will rapidly rise to the set temperature, triggering a shutdown upon reaching the set temperature. When there is a certain hysteresis between the set temperature and the outlet water temperature, the heat pump unit will restart and then quickly reach the set temperature and shut down again. This results in the heat pump unit repeatedly starting and stopping within a short period of time, affecting the stability and lifespan of the equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0021] In one embodiment, in response to a temperature difference greater than a preset value, the frequency control parameters are determined based on the ambient temperature and the inlet water temperature.

[0022] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the second technical solution adopted by the present invention is to provide a compressor, wherein the compressor is controlled by the bus voltage adjustment method of any of the above-mentioned compressors.

For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0031] The embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] In the following description, specific details such as particular system architectures, interfaces, and technologies are presented for illustrative purposes rather than for limiting purposes, in order to provide a thorough understanding of this application.

[0033] In this article, the term "and / or" simply describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone. Additionally, the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship. Furthermore, "more" in this article means two or more objects.

[0034] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing embodiments of this application only and is not intended to limit this application.

[0035] Before providing a further detailed description of the embodiments of this application, the nouns and terms involved in the embodiments of this application will be explained, and the nouns and terms involved in the embodiments of this application shall be interpreted as follows.

[0036] Understandably, user-side heat load demands exhibit significant individual differences and dynamic changes. For example, different room sizes, building envelope factors such as window sealing, and wall insulation thickness directly impact basic heat demand; the usage scenarios of the same user also change over time due to variations in occupant activity. Combined with... Figure 2 When multiple rooms share the same heat pump unit for heating, if only a few family members are home when they are away, the heating needs of one or two frequently used rooms, such as the master bedroom and study, are usually met. In this case, the heat load on the heat pump unit may only reach 25% or 50% of its full capacity. When family members return home, multiple rooms, such as the living room, dining room, and bedrooms, often need to be heated simultaneously, at which point the heat load on the heat pump unit increases to near full capacity. This significant change in heat load demand caused by changes in the number of people and activity scenarios places higher demands on the unit's control. However, existing heat pump unit compressor frequency control schemes mostly adopt standardized designs and do not adaptively optimize for such dynamic load characteristics. Under high load conditions with many rooms to be heated, the compressor generally needs to maintain a high frequency to drive the heat pump, so that the room temperature reaches the set temperature. However, under low load conditions with good room insulation or fewer rooms to be heated, if the compressor still maintains a high frequency, the water temperature will rise rapidly to the set temperature, triggering a temperature-reaching shutdown. When there is a certain temperature difference between the set temperature and the outlet water temperature, the heat pump unit will restart and then quickly reach the temperature and shut down, causing the heat pump unit to start and stop repeatedly in a short period of time, affecting the stability and lifespan of the equipment.

[0037] For example, a 5HP heat pump is set at the factory based on the heating demand of 5HP. A house with a heating demand of approximately 5HP would purchase a 5HP heat pump, which works well when heating all or most rooms. However, when the heating demand is low, such as when only a few rooms need heating, the demand drops from 90% to 20% or 40%, meaning the supply of heat far exceeds the demand. If the compressor frequency isn't quickly reduced to decrease the heat supply, the water temperature will rise rapidly, eventually triggering a temperature-triggered shutdown.

[0038] In view of this, this application provides a compressor frequency control method, comprising: determining the temperature difference between the outlet water temperature corresponding to the current frequency and the set temperature; in response to the temperature difference being within a preset range, determining a frequency compensation value based on the frequency reduction amplitude of the temperature difference change cycle; wherein the frequency reduction amplitude of the temperature difference change cycle is determined by the heat load; determining frequency control parameters based on the current frequency and the frequency compensation value, and controlling the compressor operation using the frequency control parameters.

[0039] It should be noted that under heavy load conditions, such as... Figure 2 When all four rooms require heating, the compressor needs to be driven at a higher frequency. Under low-load conditions, such as... Figure 2 When heating two rooms, if the compressor is continuously driven at a high frequency, the outlet water temperature will quickly reach the set temperature, triggering a temperature-reaching shutdown. When the temperature difference between the outlet water temperature and the set temperature is large, the equipment will restart. Due to the low heat load and the high compressor frequency, the outlet water temperature will again quickly reach the set temperature, causing frequent start-stop cycles, which affects the equipment's stability and lifespan. The compressor frequency control method proposed in this application can adjust the compressor frequency based on the heat load. Under low load conditions, the compressor frequency is reduced, the temperature rise is slowed down, the start-stop frequency of the heat pump unit is reduced, the equipment stability is improved, and the equipment lifespan is extended.

[0040] The method for adjusting the bus voltage of the compressor in this application will be explained in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of the compressor frequency control method of this application, specifically including:

[0042] Step S11: Determine the temperature difference between the outlet water temperature corresponding to the current frequency and the set temperature.

[0043] In one embodiment, the outlet water temperature is periodically sampled, and the temperature difference between the outlet water temperature and the set temperature is calculated. The sampling period can be, for example, 1-10 seconds, such as 2 seconds, 5 seconds, etc., and is not specifically limited. In one embodiment, within one sampling period, the outlet water temperature is sampled 5 times, the average of these 5 outlet water temperatures is calculated, and the calculated average value is used as the outlet water temperature corresponding to the current sampling period.

[0044] It is understandable that a temperature sensor is installed at the outlet of the device to collect the water temperature; the set temperature is the temperature set by the user.

[0045] Step S12: In response to the temperature difference being within a preset range, determine the frequency compensation value based on the frequency reduction amplitude of the temperature difference change cycle; wherein, the frequency reduction amplitude of the temperature difference change cycle is determined by the heat load.

[0046] It should be noted that under low-load conditions, such as when the room has good insulation or when the user turns on heating in only a few rooms, the corresponding heat load is relatively small, and the outlet water temperature will quickly reach the set temperature. However, under high-load conditions, such as when the room has insufficient insulation or when heating is needed in many rooms, the corresponding heat load is relatively large, and the outlet water temperature will slowly reach the set temperature.

[0047] When the temperature difference is within a preset range, this application determines the frequency compensation value based on the frequency reduction amplitude of the temperature difference change cycle, and the frequency reduction amplitude of the temperature difference change cycle is determined by the heat load.

[0048] It should be noted that heat load is a parameter representing the amount of heat required to maintain a room temperature at a set temperature. If more rooms require heating, more heat is needed, resulting in a high heat load; conversely, if fewer rooms require heating, less heat is needed, resulting in a low heat load.

[0049] Generally speaking, external factors such as ambient temperature, wind speed, room insulation performance, and heat dissipation from people and machinery will affect room heating, while heat load refers to the amount of heat required to maintain the set room temperature excluding external factors.

[0050] In one embodiment, the heat load is negatively correlated with the frequency reduction of the temperature difference change cycle. Specifically, the larger the heat load, the smaller the frequency reduction of the temperature difference change cycle, and vice versa.

[0051] In one embodiment, the frequency compensation value is positively correlated with the frequency reduction amplitude of the temperature difference change cycle. Specifically, the smaller the frequency reduction amplitude of the temperature difference change cycle, the smaller the frequency compensation value, while the larger the frequency reduction amplitude of the temperature difference change cycle, the larger the frequency compensation value.

[0052] In one embodiment, the frequency compensation value is determined based on the frequency reduction amplitude of the temperature difference, the frequency conversion amplitude of the temperature difference change, and the frequency reduction amplitude of the temperature difference change period.

[0053] The frequency reduction amplitude due to temperature difference is determined based on the frequency reduction coefficient due to temperature difference and the first temperature difference corresponding to the current cycle. The first temperature difference is the temperature difference between the outlet water temperature and the set temperature corresponding to the current cycle. The frequency reduction coefficient due to temperature difference represents the frequency reduction amplitude of the compressor in the next cycle corresponding to each degree Celsius temperature difference. For example, if the frequency reduction coefficient due to temperature difference is denoted as K1, and K1 = 3 Hz / ℃, it means that for each degree Celsius temperature difference, the compressor frequency will decrease by 3 Hz in the next cycle. The first temperature difference corresponding to the current cycle is the difference between the outlet water temperature and the set temperature within the current cycle.

[0054] In one specific embodiment, the temperature difference frequency reduction amplitude P1 = K1 × ΔTn, where ΔTn represents the first temperature difference corresponding to the nth cycle. If the first temperature difference ΔTn is 3℃ (assuming an outlet water temperature of 47℃ and a set temperature of 50℃), then the temperature difference frequency reduction amplitude P1 = K1 × ΔTn = 3 Hz / ℃ × 3℃ = 9 Hz. Thus, it can be seen that the temperature difference frequency reduction amplitude is positively correlated with the first temperature difference corresponding to the current cycle; that is, the larger the first temperature difference corresponding to the current cycle, the larger the temperature difference frequency reduction amplitude.

[0055] The frequency reduction amplitude of the temperature difference change is determined based on the frequency reduction coefficient of the temperature difference change rate and the temperature difference slope corresponding to the current cycle. Specifically, the temperature difference slope corresponding to the current cycle is the difference between the first temperature difference corresponding to the current cycle and the second temperature difference corresponding to the previous cycle; the second temperature difference corresponding to the previous cycle is the temperature difference between the outlet water temperature and the set temperature corresponding to the previous cycle. The frequency reduction coefficient of the temperature difference change rate represents the frequency reduction amplitude of the compressor in the next cycle corresponding to each degree Celsius temperature difference change rate. For example, if the frequency reduction coefficient of the temperature difference change rate is denoted as K2, and K2 = 2 Hz / ℃, it means that for every 1 degree Celsius temperature difference change, the compressor frequency decreases by 2 Hz in the next cycle.

[0056] In one specific embodiment, the frequency conversion amplitude of the temperature difference change is P2 = K2 × ΔΔTn, where ΔΔTn represents the temperature difference slope corresponding to the nth cycle. If the temperature difference slope ΔΔTn is 3℃, then the frequency conversion amplitude of the temperature difference change is P2 = K2 × ΔΔTn = 2 Hz / ℃ × 3℃ = 6 Hz. Thus, it can be seen that the frequency conversion amplitude of the temperature difference change is positively correlated with the temperature difference slope corresponding to the current cycle; that is, the larger the temperature difference slope, the larger the frequency conversion amplitude of the temperature difference change.

[0057] The frequency reduction range during temperature change cycles is determined based on the cycle compensation coefficient, frequency compensation time, and temperature change time. The cycle compensation coefficient is determined experimentally based on heat load requirements; for example, for a 6p unit, experiments are conducted under different heat dissipation conditions to obtain a more reasonable value corresponding to different heat load requirements, thus avoiding any impact on the frequency reduction effect.

[0058] In one embodiment, the frequency reduction amplitude of the temperature difference change cycle P3 = K3 × Time / Tt; where K3 represents the cycle compensation coefficient, Time represents the frequency compensation time, which can be customized and takes a value of [1, 20] min to define the temperature change delay, and Tt represents the temperature change time, specifically the time within a preset range of temperature difference change, such as the time for a temperature difference change of 0.2 degrees. It can be understood that the smaller the heat load (or the smaller the load demand), the faster the water temperature rises, and the smaller the temperature change time Tt; conversely, the larger the heat load (or the larger the load demand), the slower the water temperature rises, and the larger the temperature change time Tt. Thus, the smaller the detected Tt, the larger the calculated frequency reduction amplitude of the temperature difference change cycle P2.

[0059] In this embodiment, a periodic compensation coefficient is introduced to improve the frequency reduction speed when the heat load is low. Specifically, without a periodic compensation coefficient, although the frequency adjustment can still be adjusted periodically based on the temperature difference between the set temperature and the outlet water temperature (e.g., a 0.2°C increase in temperature difference triggers a calculation of the next cycle frequency using the temperature difference and its rate of change), the system has a delay. Temperature changes are not uniform; the temperature might remain constant for the first two minutes, but then suddenly change, for example, rising by 0.5°C. In this case, without a periodic compensation coefficient, the frequency reduction speed in a small room would be relatively slow, leading to frequent start-stop issues.

[0060] In one specific embodiment, the frequency compensation value is calculated as follows:

[0061] ΔF=P1+P2+P3=K1×ΔTn+ K2×ΔΔTn+ K3×Time / Tt Formula (1);

[0062] In formula (1), K1 represents the temperature difference frequency reduction coefficient, ΔTn represents the first temperature difference corresponding to the nth cycle, K2 represents the temperature difference change rate frequency reduction coefficient, ΔΔTn represents the temperature difference slope corresponding to the nth cycle, K3 represents the cycle compensation coefficient, Time represents the frequency compensation time, when the temperature difference increases, Time is 0, and Tt represents the temperature change time, specifically the time within the preset range of temperature difference change, such as the time for the temperature difference to change by 0.2 degrees.

[0063] Based on the above calculation method, if the heat load is smaller (or the load demand is smaller), the water temperature rises faster, the temperature change time Tt is smaller, the corresponding temperature difference change period frequency reduction amplitude P3 is larger, and the frequency compensation value ΔF calculated in this way is also larger.

[0064] Step S13: Determine the frequency control parameters based on the current frequency and frequency compensation value, and use the frequency control parameters to control the operation of the compressor.

[0065] In one embodiment, the difference between the current frequency and the frequency compensation value is calculated to obtain the frequency control parameters.

[0066] Under normal circumstances, such as when a room has good insulation or when few rooms are heated, the heat load is relatively small, and the outlet water temperature will quickly reach the set temperature. To extend the time difference between the outlet water temperature and the set temperature, the compressor's current frequency needs to be reduced accordingly. As mentioned above, with a small heat load, the frequency reduction amplitude P3 of the temperature difference change cycle is large, resulting in a larger frequency compensation value. The difference between the current frequency and the frequency compensation value is calculated to determine the frequency control parameters. This can significantly reduce the compressor's current frequency, extend the time difference between the outlet water temperature and the set temperature, thereby reducing the start-up and shutdown frequency of the heat pump unit, improving equipment stability, and extending the equipment's service life.

[0067] Based on the above analysis, if the heat load is smaller (or the load demand is smaller), the water temperature rises faster, the temperature change time Tt is shorter, and the corresponding frequency reduction amplitude P3 of the temperature difference change cycle is larger. Consequently, the calculated frequency compensation value ΔF is larger, and the calculated frequency control parameter (current frequency - ΔF) is smaller. In the next cycle, the compressor is driven using the calculated frequency control parameter, thereby reducing the heat pump's heating capacity, slowing the temperature rise, reducing the heat pump unit's start-up and shutdown frequency, improving equipment stability, and extending equipment lifespan.

[0068] Furthermore, under heavy load conditions, such as when room insulation is insufficient or many rooms are heated, the corresponding heat load is relatively large, and the outlet water temperature will slowly reach the set temperature. If the current frequency is too low, the outlet water temperature will drop instead of rise, in which case the compressor's current frequency needs to be increased accordingly.

[0069] As mentioned above, with a large heat load and a small frequency reduction in the temperature difference cycle, the frequency compensation value is relatively small. The frequency control parameters are determined by calculating the sum of the current frequency and the frequency compensation value. This allows for a slight increase in the compressor's current frequency, accelerating temperature rise and shortening the time difference between the outlet water temperature and the set temperature, thereby improving control efficiency. Understandably, in this process, because the frequency compensation value is small, the frequency increase is relatively small, preventing excessive frequency increases and avoiding frequent start-stop issues caused by the outlet water temperature rapidly reaching the set temperature.

[0070] In one embodiment, in response to a temperature difference greater than a preset value, the frequency control parameter is determined based on the ambient temperature and the inlet water temperature. The ambient temperature refers to the external temperature, such as the outdoor temperature, which is determined by the weather and directly affects the inlet water temperature. For example, a preset frequency table can be set based on the ambient temperature and different inlet water temperatures. If the temperature difference is greater than the preset value, the corresponding frequency control parameter can be determined from the preset frequency table based on the ambient temperature and the current inlet water temperature, and this frequency control parameter is used to control the compressor.

[0071] Based on the above analysis, the technical solution of this application will be illustrated with an example. Assume: the ambient temperature is -5℃, the inlet water temperature is 43℃, the set temperature is 50℃, and the preset value is 2℃, with a preset range of (0, 2). If the outlet water temperature detected in the current cycle is 47℃, then the temperature difference between the outlet water temperature corresponding to the current frequency and the set temperature is 3℃, which is greater than the preset value of 2℃. At this time, the frequency control parameter (the frequency of the next cycle of the current cycle) Fn+1=Fch, where Fch is the maximum limiting frequency determined by the ambient temperature and the inlet water temperature. It should be noted that the maximum limiting frequency determined by the ambient temperature and the inlet water temperature is, for example, the upper limit of the compressor frequency preset by the system, such as 82Hz.

[0072] If the current cycle detects an outlet water temperature greater than 48℃, then the temperature difference between the outlet water temperature and the set temperature is within the range of (0, 2). At this time, the frequency control parameter (the frequency of the next cycle of the current cycle) Fn+1=Fn-ΔF, and the frequency compensation value ΔF is calculated using the above formula (1). Assume that the temperature difference frequency reduction coefficient K1 is 3HZ / ℃, the temperature difference change rate frequency reduction coefficient K2 is 3HZ / ℃, the cycle compensation coefficient K3 is 2, and the frequency compensation time is set to 5min. If, 1 minute after the start of the current cycle (i.e., Tt=1min), the outlet water temperature is detected to change from 48℃ to 48.5℃, then the first temperature difference corresponding to the current cycle is 1.5℃, and the slope of the temperature difference is (50-48)-(50-48.5)=0.5℃. Then the frequency compensation value ΔF=3×1.5+3×0.5+2×5 / 1=16HZ, and the frequency control parameter Fn+1=Fn-ΔF=82HZ-16HZ=66HZ. Assuming that 20 minutes after the start of the current cycle (Tt = 20 minutes), the outlet water temperature changes from 48.5℃ to 48.8℃, the first temperature difference corresponding to the current cycle is 1.2℃, and the slope of the temperature difference is (50-48.5)-(50-48.8)=0.3℃. Therefore, the frequency compensation value ΔF=3×1.2+3×0.3+2×5 / 20=5Hz, and the frequency control parameter Fn+1=Fn-ΔF=66Hz-5Hz=61Hz. Repeat the above steps until the temperature difference between the set temperature and the outlet water temperature drops to 0, at which point the equipment stops.

[0073] It should be noted that the temperature difference frequency reduction coefficient K1 and the temperature difference change rate frequency reduction coefficient K2 are determined based on the equipment's performance. If the temperature difference change rate is of greater concern, the temperature difference change rate frequency reduction coefficient K2 should be set to a higher value; if the temperature difference is of greater concern, the temperature difference frequency reduction coefficient K1 should be set to a higher value. For example, for a 5P heat pump, appropriate coefficients for temperature difference frequency reduction K1 and temperature difference change rate frequency reduction coefficient K2 need to be determined. If heating all houses with a heat demand of 5P, the temperature difference frequency reduction coefficients K1 and K2 can meet this power demand. However, heating is not always necessary for all rooms. In this case, the 5P heat supply far exceeds the heat demand of a single room. Since the temperature difference frequency reduction coefficients K1 and K2 are fixed values, the frequency reduction rate will be far from meeting the requirements, causing the outlet water temperature to quickly reach the set temperature, resulting in frequent start-ups and shutdowns of the equipment. However, according to the scheme of this application, a frequency reduction amplitude for the temperature difference change cycle is introduced, and this frequency reduction amplitude is determined based on the cycle compensation coefficient, frequency compensation time, and temperature change time. When the heated room is small, the temperature will rise rapidly, and the detected temperature change time Tt will be relatively small. This results in a larger calculated frequency reduction amplitude for the temperature difference change cycle, and thus a larger calculated frequency compensation value. The frequency control parameter obtained by subtracting the frequency compensation value from the current frequency is smaller. By using a smaller frequency control parameter to control the compressor in the next cycle, the time for the outlet water temperature to rise to the set temperature can be extended, avoiding frequent start-ups and shutdowns of the equipment.

[0074] The frequency control method of this application links the compressor frequency with heat load or load demand, and adjusts the compressor frequency according to the actual load demand, thereby adapting to different environments and improving the stability and lifespan of the compressor.
