Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional methods for controlling the rotation speed of compressors in heat pump systems are manual and inaccurate, consuming manpower and material resources, and lack automatic control capabilities, particularly in low-temperature conditions where refrigerant viscosity increases, leading to oil shortage and compressor damage.

Innovation Solution

Implement a method using temperature and pressure sensors to collect data, process it into ratios, match with pre-trained oil content prediction models, and control compressor speed based on predicted oil content data, utilizing a neural network model trained with sample data to enhance accuracy.

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses a multi-functional integrated approach where temperature and pressure sensors serve dual purposes: monitoring system conditions and providing data for oil content prediction. The neural network model performs multiple functions including pattern recognition, prediction, and control decision-making, reducing the need for separate dedicated components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces temperature and pressure ratios as intermediary parameters that mediate between raw sensor data and oil content prediction. These intermediary variables simplify the complex relationship between compressor operating conditions and oil content, making the control system more manageable and interpretable.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a closed-loop feedback control system where temperature and pressure sensors continuously monitor system conditions, the neural network predicts oil content based on these readings, and the control system adjusts compressor speed accordingly. This feedback mechanism ensures reliable oil return by continuously adapting to changing operating conditions.
