DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In the following description, a large number of specific details are given in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present application. However, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented without one or more of these details. In other examples, some technical features known in the art are not described in order not to obscure the embodiments of the present application.

[0030] In order to thoroughly understand the embodiments of the present application, detailed structures will be proposed in the following description. Obviously, the implementation of the embodiments of the present application is not limited to the special details familiar to those skilled in the art.

[0031] The present application provides a refrigeration system for adjusting the refrigeration pipe pressure.

[0032] As Figure 1As shown, the refrigeration system for adjusting refrigeration pipeline pressure according to the utility model, including evaporator 10, compressor 20, condenser 30, electronic expansion valve 40, first pipeline 50, first solenoid valve 51, bypass pipeline 60, second solenoid valve 61, sensor (not shown in the drawing) and control device (not shown in the drawing).

[0033] In an embodiment of the utility model, the evaporator 10, compressor 20, condenser 30 and electronic expansion valve 40 in the refrigeration system of the utility model are sequentially communicated and form a closed loop circuit.

[0034] One end of first pipeline 50 is connected to evaporator 10, and the other end of first pipeline 50 is connected to condenser 30.

[0035] First solenoid valve 51 is arranged in first pipeline 50, and first solenoid valve 51 is arranged in series with electronic expansion valve 40.

[0036] Bypass pipeline 60 is connected in parallel to first solenoid valve 51, and the inner diameter of bypass pipeline 60 is less than the inner diameter of first pipeline 50.

[0037] Second solenoid valve 61 is arranged in bypass pipeline 60.

[0038] Sensor is used for detecting the current of compressor 20.

[0039] Control device is electrically connected to sensor, and control device is configured to control second solenoid valve 61 to open for a first preset time when the current detected by sensor is less than a first preset current value.The current of compressor 20 is detected by sensor at the moment of starting of compressor 20 in the refrigeration system of the utility model, and control device will control second solenoid valve 61 to open for a first preset time when it is judged that the current detected by sensor is less than a first preset current value.Because the inner diameter of first pipeline 50 is greater than the inner diameter of bypass pipeline 60, when second solenoid valve 61 is opened, the flow area of pipeline in the refrigeration system can be effectively reduced, so that the effect of more easily establishing starting pressure difference is achieved, the normal operation of compressor 20 is ensured, and the purpose of protecting compressor 20 is achieved.

[0040] As Figure 1As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this utility model, after the second solenoid valve 61 has been running for a first preset time, the second solenoid valve 61 is closed and the first solenoid valve 51 is opened. During the operation of the refrigeration system, by controlling the opening and closing of the second solenoid valve 61 on the bypass line 60 and the first solenoid valve 51 on the first line 50, the refrigerant flow rate can be controlled, making it easier for the compressor 20 to form a pressure difference during startup and facilitating the startup of the compressor 20. During the refrigeration process, when excessive line current is detected and the compressor 20 is overloaded, the refrigerant flow rate can be adjusted by controlling the opening and closing of the first solenoid valve 51 and the second solenoid valve 61, thereby preventing the compressor 20 from operating under overload for a long time, avoiding damage to the compressor 20, and achieving the purpose of protecting the compressor 20.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the refrigeration system further includes a second pipe 70, one end of which is connected to the outlet of the evaporator 10, and the other end of which is connected to the inlet of the compressor 20.

[0042] The refrigeration system also includes a gas-liquid separator 71, which is installed in the second pipeline 70. It should be noted that in the refrigeration system, the gas-liquid separator 71 prevents damage to the compressor 20 from the return of liquid refrigerant during startup, operation, or defrosting by separating and storing the liquid refrigerant in the pipeline. Specifically, the gas-liquid separator 71 protects the compressor 20 by separating the liquid, reducing the dilution of the oil in the crankcase of the compressor 20.

[0043] It should be noted that, for the sake of saving space, the working principle of the gas-liquid separator 71 will not be described in detail here.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the refrigeration system further includes a third pipe 91, one end of which is connected to the outlet of the compressor 20, and the other end of which is connected to the inlet of the condenser 30.

[0045] The refrigeration system also includes an oil separator 72, which is located in the third pipeline 91. The main function of the oil separator 72 is to separate the lubricating oil from the high-pressure steam discharged by the compressor 20 during the refrigeration process, so as to ensure that the refrigeration system can operate safely and efficiently.

[0046] It should be noted that, for the sake of saving space, the working principle of the oil separator 72 will not be described in detail here.

[0047] like Figure 1As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this utility model, the refrigeration system further includes a liquid receiver 80, which is disposed in the first pipeline 50. The liquid receiver 80 plays several important roles in the refrigeration system, mainly including gas-liquid separation, refrigerant buffering, balancing and stabilizing the refrigerant flow rate in the refrigeration system, storing and regulating the refrigerant dosage, preventing high-pressure gas from entering the low-pressure liquid section, and accommodating refrigerant during maintenance.

[0048] It should be noted that, for the sake of saving space, the working principle of the liquid reservoir 80 will not be elaborated here.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this utility model, the refrigeration system further includes a filter 90, which is disposed in the first pipeline 50 and connected in series with the liquid receiver 80. The filter 90 in the refrigeration system mainly functions to filter impurities and absorb moisture. Specifically, the filter 90 can filter out various impurities in the refrigeration system, such as metal shavings, oxides, dust, etc., preventing these impurities from entering the compressor 20 and causing severe wear or even jamming inside the compressor 20; at the same time, the filter 90 can also absorb residual moisture in the refrigeration system, preventing ice blockage and corrosion, and extending the service life of the refrigeration system.

[0050] It should be noted that, for the sake of space, the working principle of filter 90 will not be elaborated here.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this utility model, the filter 90 is connected in series with the first solenoid valve 51.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of this utility model, the range of the first preset current value is greater than or equal to 36A and less than or equal to 38A, and the range of the first preset time is greater than or equal to 110s and less than or equal to 120s. Specifically, when the sensor detects that the current in the compressor 20 is less than the first preset current value, the control device will control the second solenoid valve 61 to open for the first preset time, and the first solenoid valve 51 to close.

[0053] It should be noted that by opening the second solenoid valve 61 and running it for a first preset time, it can be ensured that the compressor 20 can obtain a stable starting pressure difference during the startup process, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the compressor 20.

[0054] It should be noted that the control device can be preferably a controller, and the structure and principle of the controller and the sensor are all conventional structures and principles in the art, that is, the utility model only selects the general controller and sensor, and does not improve the internal structure of the controller and the sensor, and for the sake of saving space, the specific working principle of the controller and the sensor will not be repeated here.

[0055] In summary, the compressor 20 in the refrigeration system of the utility model detects the current of the compressor 20 through a sensor at the moment of starting, and when the control device judges that the current detected by the sensor is less than the first preset current value, the control device will control the second electromagnetic valve 61 to open for the first preset time. Since the inner diameter of the first pipeline 50 is greater than the inner diameter of the bypass pipeline 60, when the second electromagnetic valve 61 is opened, the flow area of the pipeline in the refrigeration system can be effectively reduced, thereby more easily establishing the starting pressure difference, ensuring the normal operation of the compressor 20 subsequently, and achieving the purpose of protecting the compressor 20.
