Compared with the related technologies that cannot control refrigeration and heating devices using spring-loaded material, the control process is simple and convenient, making the application prospects of refrigeration and heating systems using spring-loaded material more extensive.

[0021] Traditional refrigeration and heating equipment uses gas compressors. However, the refrigerants used in gas compression refrigeration machines (such as chlorine- or bromine-containing refrigerants) are toxic and are released into the environment in large quantities, causing a sharp decline in atmospheric ozone levels and irreversible damage to the atmosphere. Even when using environmentally friendly refrigerants (such as fluorinated or ammonia-containing refrigerants), their flammability and explosiveness pose significant safety risks. Furthermore, the energy conversion rate of gas compression for refrigeration and heating is low, resulting in energy waste.
[0022] Solid-state cooling and heating technology is a new type of efficient and environmentally friendly space temperature control technology. This technology induces a phase change in the solid-state material by mechanically deforming it, thereby releasing and absorbing latent heat to achieve the purpose of cooling and heating.
[0023] Elastic material refers to solid materials with elastic (thermal) effect, such as shape memory alloys, natural rubber, synthetic polymers, and plastic crystals. Among them, shape memory alloys (such as nickel-titanium alloys, copper-aluminum-manganese alloys, nickel-manganese-copper-cobalt alloys, and nickel-iron-gallium alloys) are widely used in elastic solid-state refrigeration technology because they have extremely high phase transition entropy values and material energy efficiency ratios.
[0024] The use of cartridge-based refrigeration and heating systems to replace gas compressor-based refrigeration and heating equipment represents a development trend in refrigeration and heating equipment. However, how to control refrigeration and heating devices using cartridge-based materials is a problem that urgently needs to be solved.
[0025] Based on this, the following embodiments of this application propose a refrigeration and heating system and method using spring-loaded material. In the refrigeration and heating system using spring-loaded material, a controller and a first refrigeration and heating device connected to the controller are provided. The controller is used to acquire control commands carrying the current temperature and the target temperature, then determine the temperature difference between the current temperature and the target temperature, and determine the refrigeration and heating capacity of the first refrigeration and heating device according to the temperature difference. Finally, based on the refrigeration and heating capacity, the operating time of the first refrigeration and heating device and the driving cycle of the spring-loaded material in the first refrigeration and heating device are obtained. The first refrigeration and heating device is controlled to operate according to the operating time and the driving cycle of the spring-loaded material. Thus, the operating time of the first refrigeration and heating device and the driving cycle of the spring-loaded material in the first refrigeration and heating device are obtained according to the required refrigeration and heating capacity, and the first refrigeration and heating device is controlled to operate according to the obtained operating time and the driving cycle of the spring-loaded material, completing the control of the refrigeration and heating system using spring-loaded material. The control process is simple and convenient.
[0026] Before describing the following embodiments, the following definitions are given:
[0027] The cooling / heating capacity can be a positive or negative number.
[0028] When the cooling / heating capacity is positive, the cooling / heating system performs a cooling operation.
[0029] When the cooling / heating capacity is negative, the cooling / heating system is performing heating operation.
[0030] In the refrigeration and heating system using spring-loaded material proposed in this application, the first refrigeration and heating device and the second refrigeration and heating device respectively include: a pipeline and a medium material in the pipeline that can carry away the cold or heat generated by the pipeline structure.
[0031] The pipes in the first and second refrigeration and heating equipment are made of spring clip material.
[0032] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0033] Example 1
[0034] This embodiment proposes a cooling and heating system using spring-loaded material. The cooling and heating system includes: a controller and a first cooling and heating device connected to the controller.
[0035] The aforementioned spring-loaded material is used to form the first refrigeration and heating device of the aforementioned refrigeration and heating system.
[0036] The controller described above is used to perform the following steps (1) to (3):
[0037] (1) Obtain control commands, which carry the current temperature and the target temperature;
[0038] (2) Determine the temperature difference between the current temperature and the target temperature, and determine the cooling capacity of the first cooling and heating device based on the temperature difference.
[0039] (3) Based on the determined cooling and heating capacity, determine the operating time of the first cooling and heating device and the driving cycle of the spring card material in the first cooling and heating device, and control the first cooling and heating device to work according to the operating time and the driving cycle.
[0040] In step (1) above, the control command is issued by the user in the space where the refrigeration and heating system is located to the controller.
[0041] In step (2) above, the difference between the current temperature and the target temperature is calculated, and the result is the temperature difference between the current temperature and the target temperature.
[0042] The controller has a pre-set correspondence between temperature difference and cooling / heating capacity. Based on this correspondence, the controller can find the cooling / heating capacity that matches the temperature difference between the current temperature and the target temperature.
[0043] In practical applications, since the size of the space where the above-mentioned cooling and heating equipment is placed is uncertain, the amount of heat required to reach the target temperature from the current temperature is related to the size of the space, and the required cooling and heating capacity varies. Therefore, the cooling and heating capacity in this embodiment is the cooling and heating capacity within a certain time period (e.g., unit time).
[0044] In step (3) above, specifically, the following steps (31) to (36) can be performed:
[0045] (31) Determine the driving frequency of the spring card material corresponding to the cooling and heating capacity;
[0046] (32) Based on the driving frequency of the above-mentioned card material, the driving cycle of the above-mentioned card material is obtained, wherein a single driving cycle includes: loading time, first waiting time, unloading time and second waiting time;
[0047] (33) Obtain the unit mass cooling and heating power ratio of the above-mentioned spring card material used in the first cooling and heating equipment and the mass of the spring card material;
[0048] (34) Calculate the cooling power of the above-mentioned spring card material using the following formula:
[0049] Cooling power of the cartridge material = cooling / heating power ratio per unit mass * driving frequency of the cartridge material * mass of the cartridge material;
[0050] (35) Based on the above cooling and heating capacity and the calculated cooling power of the above-mentioned spring card material, determine the operating time of the above-mentioned first cooling and heating equipment;
[0051] (36) Control the first refrigeration and heating equipment to work according to the determined running time and the driving cycle of the cartridge material.
[0052] Generally, the more times the spring card material is loaded or unloaded, the more heat and cold energy it generates; that is, the higher the driving frequency, the greater the cooling capacity. To facilitate quantitative control, in step (31) above, the controller pre-stores the correspondence between the cooling capacity and the driving frequency of the spring card material. Therefore, by using this correspondence between the cooling capacity and the driving frequency of the spring card material, the driving frequency of the spring card material corresponding to the cooling capacity can be queried and determined.
[0053] The relationship between the cooling and heating capacity and the driving frequency of the cartridge material can be obtained by conducting driving experiments on the cartridge material, i.e., by counting the number of driving times and the cooling and heating capacity generated.
[0054] In step (32) above, the driving cycle of the cartridge material can be obtained by taking the reciprocal of the driving frequency of the cartridge material.
[0055] The controller also stores the correspondence between cooling and heating capacity, drive cycle, drive cycle loading time, drive cycle first waiting time, drive cycle unloading time and drive cycle second waiting time.
[0056] The driving cycle is equal to the sum of the driving cycle loading time, the first waiting time of the driving cycle, the driving cycle unloading time, and the second waiting time of the driving cycle.
[0057] It should be noted that the loading time is the time it takes for the driver to load the card material. During the loading process, the card material releases heat. The unloading time is the time it takes for the driver to unload the card material. During the unloading process, the card material absorbs heat. The first waiting time is the time it takes for the medium to absorb the heat released by the card material, and the second waiting time is the time it takes for the medium to absorb the cold energy released by the card material.
[0058] Here, the heat released during loading and the heat absorbed during unloading of the spring-loaded material are the same. That is, the absolute values of the cooling and heating capacity generated during loading and unloading are the same within the same drive cycle. However, in practical applications, when using the heating or cooling function of this cooling and heating equipment, the first and second waiting times are different to maximize the acquisition of heating or cooling capacity. Specifically, the loading time, first waiting time, unloading time, and second waiting time of the drive cycle corresponding to a positive cooling / heating capacity are different from those corresponding to a negative cooling / heating capacity. When the cooling function is selected and the cooling / heating capacity is positive, the first waiting time is shorter than the second waiting time, maximizing the amount of cold absorbed by the medium. When the heating function is selected and the cooling / heating capacity is negative, the first waiting time is longer than the second waiting time, maximizing the amount of cold absorbed by the medium.
[0059] Therefore, after obtaining the cooling capacity and drive cycle, based on the correspondence between the cooling capacity, drive cycle, drive cycle loading time, drive cycle first waiting time, drive cycle unloading time and drive cycle second waiting time, the controller can obtain the drive cycle loading time, drive cycle first waiting time, drive cycle unloading time and drive cycle second waiting time that match the cooling capacity and drive cycle.
[0060] In step (33) above, the unit mass cooling and heating power ratio of the cartridge material is pre-cached in the controller.
[0061] Each type of cartridge material has different cooling and heating capabilities, and its cooling and heating power per unit mass is different. The cooling and heating power per unit mass is the heat released when a unit mass of cartridge material is loaded into a complete phase change, and the heat absorbed during phase change recovery.
[0062] In addition to the cooling and heating power ratio per unit mass, the controller also stores the material properties of the cartridge, such as the quantity, density, and volume of the cartridge per unit mass.
[0063] To obtain the mass of the cartridge material in the first refrigeration / heating equipment, the controller can first obtain the quantity and volume of the cartridge material per unit, and then calculate the mass of the cartridge material using the following formula:
[0064] Volume of cartridge material = Volume of unit cartridge material * Quantity of cartridge material
[0065] Mass of cartridge material = Volume of cartridge material * Density
[0066] In step (35) above, the operating time of the first refrigeration and heating equipment is determined by the following formula:
[0067] Operating time of the first refrigeration and heating equipment = refrigeration capacity / refrigeration power of the cartridge material
[0068] In the above step (36), during the process of controlling the first refrigeration and heating equipment to work according to the determined running time and the driving cycle of the spring card material, a medium material pump is set in the first refrigeration and heating equipment to blow the medium material into the pipeline of the first refrigeration and heating equipment to absorb heat and cold. Then, the medium material pump is used to suck the medium material after absorbing heat into the heat exchange device so as to use the medium material to remove the refrigeration and heating heat generated by the first refrigeration and heating equipment.
[0069] The aforementioned medium material pump is connected to the controller and is used to blow the medium material into the pipeline of the first refrigeration and heating equipment under the control of the controller, so as to use the medium material to carry away the refrigeration and heating heat generated by the first refrigeration and heating equipment.
[0070] Specifically, step (36) above can also be performed in steps (360) to (369):
[0071] (360) Obtain the specific heat capacity, density, and cross-sectional area of the medium material that absorbs the heat generated by the first refrigeration and heating generator during the operation process; wherein, the aforementioned pipeline is the pipe structure in the refrigeration and heating generator of the first refrigeration and heating equipment that supplies the flow of the medium material.
[0072] (361) Find out the specific heat capacity, density and efficiency coefficient of the medium material and the cross-sectional area of the pipe through which the medium material flows in the refrigeration and heating generator.
[0073] (362) Calculate the total heat absorbed by the above medium material based on the above cooling capacity and the efficiency coefficient obtained from the query.
[0074] (363) The first waiting time or the second waiting time in the driving cycle of the above-mentioned card material is determined as the medium residence time;
[0075] (364) Based on the total heat absorbed by the above-mentioned medium material and the above-mentioned medium residence time, the heat absorbed by the medium material during each medium residence time is calculated;
[0076] (365) Based on the ratio of the medium residence time to the unit time and the heat absorbed by the medium material during each medium residence time, the heat absorbed by the medium material per unit time is calculated.
[0077] (366) Based on the total heat absorbed by the medium material, the current temperature and the target temperature, query the historical temperature difference between the temperature before and after the medium material absorbs the cooling heat generated by the medium material on the bombardment material, corresponding to the total heat absorbed by the medium material, the current temperature and the target temperature.
[0078] (367) The flow velocity of the medium in the pipeline is calculated using the following formula: Q 吸 =ηCρSv*ΔT
[0079] Among them, Q 吸 The value represents the heat absorbed by the medium material per unit time; C represents the specific heat capacity of the medium material; ρ represents the density of the medium material; ΔT represents the historical temperature difference between the temperature before and after the medium material absorbs the total heat absorbed by the medium material, the current temperature, and the target temperature to generate cooling and heating heat for the spring card material; v represents the flow velocity of the medium material in the pipeline; η represents the efficiency coefficient.
[0080] (368) By calculating the flow velocity of the medium material in the pipeline, the pump power of the medium material pump that matches the flow velocity is determined, wherein the medium material pump is used to blow the medium material into the cooling and heating generator according to the determined pump power so that the medium material absorbs the heat generated by the cooling and heating generator, or blows the absorbed heat into the space where the cooling and heating system is located so as to exchange heat with the space where the cooling and heating system is located.
[0081] (369) The first refrigeration and heating equipment is controlled to work according to the above-mentioned running time, the above-mentioned driving cycle of the card material, and the above-mentioned pump power.
[0082] In the above step (360), the specific heat capacity, density, and cross-sectional area of the pipeline through which the medium material flows are all pre-stored in the controller.
[0083] In step (361) above, the controller is pre-set with the correspondence between the specific heat capacity, density, cross-sectional area of the pipe through which the medium material flows, and efficiency coefficient. From the correspondence between the specific heat capacity, density, cross-sectional area of the pipe through which the medium material flows, and efficiency coefficient, the efficiency coefficient corresponding to the specific heat capacity, density, and cross-sectional area of the pipe through which the medium material flows in the refrigeration and heating generator can be found.
[0084] It should be noted that when the heat or cold released by the spring material is exchanged through the medium material, there is heat loss due to the design of the pipe or the space conduction. Therefore, the efficiency coefficient is obtained through experiments, that is, by changing factors such as the pipe structure (e.g., cross-sectional area, pipe shape, length, etc.), the type of medium material, etc., and measuring the heat exchanged.
[0085] In step (362) above, the total heat absorbed by the medium material is calculated using the following formula:
[0086] Total heat absorbed by the medium material = cooling / heating capacity * efficiency coefficient.
[0087] In the above step (363), the medium material must remain in the pipeline of the cooling and heating generator of the first cooling and heating equipment in order to carry away the cooling and heating energy generated in the pipeline of the first cooling and heating equipment.
[0088] The residence time of the medium is the time that the medium material stays in the pipes of the refrigeration or heating generator, that is, the time it takes for the medium material to completely absorb the heat or cold generated in the pipes. The medium material begins to exchange heat when it enters the pipes, and the longer its residence time, the more heat or cold it absorbs.
[0089] To determine the media residence time, the controller can compare a first waiting time and a second waiting time to obtain the ratio of the first waiting time to the second waiting time. When the ratio of the first waiting time to the second waiting time is greater than 1 and a cooling operation is performed, the first waiting time is determined as the media residence time. When the ratio of the first waiting time to the second waiting time is less than 1 and a heating operation is performed, the second waiting time is determined as the media residence time.
[0090] It should be noted that when using the cooling function, the medium residence time is the time it takes for the medium material to absorb cold energy (first waiting time), and when using the heating function, the medium residence time is the time it takes for the medium material to absorb heat (second waiting time).
[0091] In step (364) above, the heat absorbed by the medium material during each medium residence time is calculated using the following formula:
[0092] Heat absorbed by the medium material during each residence time = Total heat absorbed by the medium material / Residence time of the medium.
[0093] In step (365) above, first calculate the ratio of the medium residence time to the duration per unit time, and then multiply the calculated duration ratio by the heat absorbed by the medium material during each medium residence time to calculate the heat absorbed by the medium material per unit time.
[0094] In step (366) above, the controller pre-stores the total heat absorbed by the medium material, the current temperature, the target temperature, and the historical temperature difference between the temperature of the medium material before and after absorbing the heat generated by the medium material to cool the card material.
[0095] This historical temperature difference is an empirical value.
[0096] In step (367) above, the empirical coefficient is a preset value.
[0097] In step (368) above, the controller stores in advance the relationship between the pump power of the medium material pump and the flow rate of the medium material in the pipeline.
[0098] The controller determines the pump power of the medium material pump that matches the flow rate by using a pre-stored correspondence between the pump power of the medium material pump and the flow rate of the medium material in the pipeline.
[0099] The cooling and heating system proposed in this embodiment also includes a display unit, which is connected to the controller.
[0100] In addition to executing steps (31) to (36) above, the controller may also execute steps (a) to (h):
[0101] (a) Obtain the refrigeration coefficient of the spring clip material used in the first refrigeration and heating equipment, the driving cycle coefficient of the driving cycle of the spring clip material, and the flow velocity coefficient of the medium material in the pipeline.
[0102] (b) Obtain the actual flow velocity of the medium material in the pipeline and the length of the pipeline;
[0103] (c) Based on the actual flow velocity of the medium material in the pipeline and the length of the pipeline, the actual residence time of the medium material in the pipeline is calculated.
[0104] (d) Calculate the first ratio between the actual flow velocity of the medium material in the pipeline and the flow velocity of the medium material in the pipeline;
[0105] (e) Obtain the loading time and unloading time within the driving cycle of the aforementioned cartridge material, and calculate the actual driving cycle of the aforementioned cartridge material using the aforementioned actual dwell time, loading time, and unloading time.
[0106] (f) Calculate the second ratio of the actual driving cycle to the driving cycle of the aforementioned cartridge material;
[0107] (g) The cooling and heating index of the target cooling and heating equipment is calculated using the following formula:
[0108] Cooling and heating index = Coefficient of performance (COP) + K1 * First ratio + K2 * Second ratio
[0109] Among them, K1 and K2 are preset values;
[0110] (h) Display the calculated cooling and heating indexes.
[0111] In step (a) above, the refrigeration coefficient of the spring clip material used in the first refrigeration and heating equipment, the driving cycle coefficient of the driving cycle of the spring clip material, and the flow rate coefficient of the above-mentioned medium material in the pipeline are all pre-stored in the controller of the first refrigeration and heating equipment.
[0112] In step (b) above, a flow meter that communicates with the controller is installed in the pipeline.
[0113] During the operation of the first refrigeration and heating equipment, the flow meter installed in the pipeline measures the actual flow velocity of the medium material in the pipeline and sends the measured actual flow velocity of the medium material in the pipeline to the controller.
[0114] The lengths of the aforementioned pipelines are pre-stored in the controller.
[0115] In step (c) above, the actual residence time of the medium material in the pipeline is calculated using the following formula:
[0116] Actual residence time in the pipeline = actual flow velocity of the medium in the pipeline / length of the pipeline.
[0117] In step (d) above, the first ratio = actual flow velocity of the medium in the pipeline / flow velocity of the medium in the pipeline.
[0118] In step (e) above, the controller can first update the first waiting time or the second waiting time using the actual dwell time, and then use the updated first waiting time or the second waiting time to calculate the actual driving cycle of the cartridge material.
[0119] If the media dwell time is the first waiting time, update the first waiting time using the actual dwell time; otherwise, update the second waiting time using the actual dwell time.
[0120] Specifically, when updating during the first waiting time, the actual driving cycle of the card material = loading time + unloading time + second waiting time + first waiting time after the update.
[0121] When the update is performed during the second waiting period, the actual driving cycle of the card material = loading time + unloading time + first waiting period + second waiting period after the update.
[0122] In step (f) above, the second ratio = actual driving cycle of the cartridge material / driving cycle of the cartridge material.
[0123] In step (g) above, the preset values K1 and K2 are pre-stored in the controller.
[0124] In step (h) above, the controller sends the calculated cooling and heating index to the display unit for display.
[0125] Furthermore, a second refrigeration and heating device can be installed in the refrigeration and heating system. The first and second refrigeration and heating devices use different spring clip materials, which makes the first and second refrigeration and heating devices have different refrigeration and heating powers in different temperature ranges.
[0126] The controller is connected to the second refrigeration and heating equipment.
[0127] In order to control the first and second refrigeration and heating devices, the controller will assign their respective refrigeration and heating device identifiers to the first and second refrigeration and heating devices, and control the first refrigeration and heating device.
[0128] You can perform the following steps (a1) through (a4):
[0129] (a1) Obtain control commands, which carry the current temperature and the target temperature;
[0130] (a2) Determine the temperature range to which the current temperature and the target temperature belong, and select the cooling and heating power that matches the temperature range from the first cooling and heating device and the second cooling and heating device, and determine the cooling and heating device that matches the cooling and heating power of the temperature range from the first cooling and heating device and the second cooling and heating device as the target cooling and heating device.
[0131] (a3) Calculate the temperature difference between the current temperature and the target temperature, and determine the required cooling capacity based on the temperature difference.
[0132] (a4) Based on the determined cooling capacity, determine the operating time of the target cooling and heating equipment and the driving cycle of the spring clip material in the target cooling and heating equipment, and control the target cooling and heating equipment to work according to the determined operating time and the driving cycle of the spring clip material.
[0133] In step (a2) above, the controller pre-stores the correspondence between the identification of the cooling and heating equipment, the temperature range and the cooling and heating power.
[0134] Therefore, the controller can select the cooling and heating power that matches the temperature range from the first cooling and heating device and the second cooling and heating device according to the pre-stored correspondence between the cooling and heating device identifier, temperature range and cooling and heating power, and determine the cooling and heating device corresponding to the cooling and heating power that matches the temperature range from the first cooling and heating device and the second cooling and heating device as the target cooling and heating device.
[0135] The specific implementation process of steps (a3) to (a4) above is similar to the process described in steps (2) to (3) of the controller controlling the first refrigeration and heating equipment described above, and will not be repeated here.
[0136] In one embodiment, the piping in the first and second refrigeration and heating devices can be composed of multiple spring clip material units connected in series or in parallel.
[0137] Accordingly, the mass of the aforementioned cartridge material in step (33) is the total mass of the multiple cartridge material units. The volume of the aforementioned cartridge material is the total volume of the multiple cartridge material units.
[0138] The quantity of the aforementioned cartridge material refers to the quantity of multiple cartridge material units.
[0139] The volume of the unit cartridge material mentioned above is the volume of a single cartridge material unit.
