[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0021] When the DX unit is running, if the suction temperature is too low, it may cause the return gas to carry liquid. This is because the refrigerant will produce a large amount of gas during the evaporation process. After the gas is compressed by the compressor, the temperature and pressure will increase. If the suction temperature is too low, the suction pressure of the compressor will also decrease, which will increase the compression ratio of the compressor, making it easier for the refrigerant vapor to reach a saturated state. When the refrigerant vapor reaches a saturated state, it will begin to condense into liquid. If this process occurs in the compressor, it will cause the return gas to carry liquid. The return gas with liquid will have an adverse effect on the operation of the DX unit. First, it will block the suction pipe and the compressor inlet, resulting in a decrease in the refrigerant flow and a decrease in the refrigeration effect. Secondly, it will increase the burden on the compressor, increase the energy consumption of the compressor, and even cause damage to the compressor. Therefore, in order to avoid the return gas with liquid, the suction temperature should be kept within an appropriate range as much as possible. We have proposed the following solution.
[0022] Embodiment 1
[0023] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 The DX unit suction low temperature protection device mainly consists of a unit casing 1, and an evaporator 2 arranged inside the unit casing 1. A connecting pipe 1 4 and a connecting pipe 2 5 are arranged at the lower part of the evaporator 2. The evaporator 2 is connected to the expansion valve through the connecting pipe 1 4. The evaporator 2 is connected to a separation pipe 6 through the connecting pipe 2 5, and one end of the separation pipe 6 is connected to the compressor. A heating component 7 for heating the suction temperature of the compressor is arranged inside the unit casing 1. When the DX unit is running, the liquid in the expansion valve can be sent to the evaporator 2 for evaporation through the connecting pipe 1 4. The evaporated air flow will return to the compressor through the connecting pipe 2 5 and the separation pipe 6. During the flow process, the heating component 7 arranged in the unit casing 1 will heat the air flow with a lower temperature, thereby reducing the occurrence of the return air liquid phenomenon in the compressor, thereby improving the protection of the compressor.
[0024] The heating component 7 includes a precooling coil 71 fixedly installed inside the unit housing 1. One end of the precooling coil 71 is connected to the separation pipe 6, and the other end is provided with a return air pipe 74 connected to the separation pipe 6. Solenoid valves 73 are respectively provided at both ends of the separation pipe 6. A temperature sensor 72 electrically connected to the solenoid valve 73 is provided at the connection between the separation pipe 6 and the compressor. A fan 75 is provided at one end of the unit housing 1, and an air inlet for air intake is provided at the other end. In this embodiment, the temperature of the airflow flowing into the compressor is detected by the temperature sensor 72 arranged in the separation pipe 6. If the airflow temperature is detected, When the temperature is lower than the set temperature, the solenoid valve 73 on the separation tube 6 close to the precooling coil 71 is opened to allow the air flow to enter the precooling coil 71. At the same time, the other solenoid valve 73 is closed to prevent the low-temperature air flow from directly entering the compressor. In addition, the fan 75 is started to introduce the external air flow into the unit casing 1, so that it continuously blows the precooling coil 71, thereby gradually heating the air flow entering the precooling coil 71 through the physical law of heat transfer. After the temperature is raised, the air flow will return to the separation tube 6 through the return air pipe 74, thereby completing the temperature rise operation of the compressor intake air.
[0025] A retention sleeve 77 is provided inside the precooling coil 71. The retention sleeve 77 is conical in shape, and the smallest end is opposite to the direction of air flow. Since the airflow is light in mass and has the characteristic of automatic floating, the special setting of the retention sleeve 77 will make most of the airflow flow to the connection between the retention sleeve 77 and the precooling coil 71 when the airflow contacts the retention sleeve 77. When it cannot move forward, it will flow out through the gap in the middle of the retention sleeve 77, thereby greatly extending the flow time of the airflow in the precooling coil 71, thereby increasing the heating time of the airflow, thereby improving the heating effect of the airflow and further reducing the occurrence of liquid carryover in the return air.
[0026] Embodiment 2
[0027] On the basis of Example 1, the technical solution proposed in Example 1 is used to solve the shortcomings of the existing DX unit, that is, the suction temperature of the compressor is not high, which is easy to produce return air with liquid, thereby damaging the compressor. However, since the low-temperature airflow flows in the pre-cooling coil 71, the surface temperature of the pre-cooling coil 71 will be low, thereby attracting dust in the air for adsorption, which will form a layer of thermal resistance, hindering the effective transfer of heat inside and outside the pre-cooling coil 71, resulting in a decrease in the warming effect of the airflow in the pre-cooling coil 71, and increasing the probability of compressor failure.
[0028] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4A dust removal assembly 76 for cleaning dust outside the precooling coil 71 is provided inside the unit casing 1. The dust removal assembly 76 includes a pull plate 761 slidably installed inside the unit casing 1, and one end of the pull plate 761 slides and extends to the outside of the unit casing 1. A plurality of dust removal sleeves 764 are provided on the sliding sleeve outside the precooling coil 71, and a transmission connecting rod 762 is rotatably installed on the outside of the dust removal sleeve 764. A transmission protrusion 763 hinged to the transmission connecting rod 762 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the pull plate 761. When the low-temperature airflow flows in the precooling coil 71, cold air is generated, resulting in a lower surface temperature of the precooling coil 71. This temperature difference makes the surface of the precooling coil 71 form a "cold source" relative to the surrounding environment, thereby attracting water molecules in the air to condense on the coil surface. When particulate matter such as dust and dirt in the air flows and contacts the surface of the pre-cooling coil 71 under the action of the fan 75, they are easily adhered by these condensed water molecules and then adhere to the pre-cooling coil 71. If the outer surface of the pre-cooling coil 71 is covered with dust, a layer of thermal resistance will be formed, which will hinder the effective transfer of heat inside and outside the pre-cooling coil 71, resulting in a decrease in the heating effect of the airflow in the pre-cooling coil 71 and an increase in the probability of compressor failure. To avoid this situation, the present embodiment can regularly clean the attached dust on the pre-cooling coil 71 through the provision of the dust removal sleeve 764 to ensure the normal heating of the airflow in the pre-cooling coil 71. The specific operation is as follows: the pull plate 761 can be pulled out and released at a regular interval so that it drives the dust removal sleeve 764 to reciprocate through the transmission connecting rod 762, thereby removing the dust attached to the pre-cooling coil 71 and ensuring the normal heating work.
[0029] A synchronous connecting rod 765 is fixedly installed between the dust removal sleeves 764. The setting of the synchronous connecting rod 765 allows the staff to move any dust removal sleeve 764 to drive all dust removal sleeves 764 to move synchronously, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of attached dust.
[0030] The contact parts between the precooling coil 71 and the dust removal sleeve 764 are both inclined. The special setting of the precooling coil 71 can more conveniently clean up the dust when the dust removal sleeve 764 moves, thereby improving the convenience of the dust removal work. In addition, when the dust removal sleeve 764 moves, it will also drive the precooling coil 71 to vibrate, thereby shaking off the dust that the dust removal sleeve 764 has not touched, further improving the dust removal quality.
[0031] The air inlet is provided with an air inlet fence 3, and the setting of the air inlet fence 3 can preliminarily filter the airflow entering the unit casing 1, thereby reducing dust attached to the precooling coil 71.
[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
