Detailed Description
Referring to fig. 1 to 5 in combination, according to an embodiment of the present application, the air conditioner includes a compressor 1, an indoor heat exchanger 2, an outdoor heat exchanger 3, and a throttling device 4, a through pipe 5 is disposed between the outdoor heat exchanger 3 and the compressor 1, an adjusting pipe 6 is disposed on the through pipe 5 in parallel, the adjusting pipe 6 includes a liquid storage device 7, and the outdoor heat exchanger 3 is selectively communicated with the adjusting pipe 6 or the through pipe 5.
This air conditioner is through setting up the regulation pipeline 6 parallelly connected with through pipeline 5, and set up stock solution device 7 on adjusting pipeline 6, can change the in-process of frost at outdoor heat exchanger 3, the heat that utilizes the heat of cold medium accumulation in advance in stock solution device 7 and the heat that produces of compressor 1 doing work for outdoor heat exchanger 3's the frost provides the heat, thereby can defrost under the condition that does not switch over the whole refrigerant flow direction of air conditioner, realize continuously supplying heat during the defrosting, can effectively reduce the indoor cooling during the defrosting, improve the effect of heating, improve user experience's travelling comfort, this air conditioner change the frost simple structure, and the cost is lower, change to the system is less, it is with low costs to reform transform, easily realize. The overall refrigerant flow direction of the air conditioner refers to the flow direction of the air conditioner after flowing out of the compressor, and mainly refers to the refrigerant flow direction when the air conditioner is not changed in the heating condition.
In the embodiment, in the defrosting process of the outdoor heat exchanger 3, the refrigerant still flows through the indoor heat exchanger 2 and then flows to the outdoor heat exchanger 3, so that a part of heat can still be provided for the indoor heat exchanger 2, although the provided heat is less than that provided in the normal heating process of the air conditioner, the indoor temperature can still be effectively kept in a more proper temperature range, and the adverse effect of defrosting of the outdoor heat exchanger 3 on the indoor temperature is reduced as much as possible. The heat for defrosting the outdoor heat exchanger 3 mainly comes from the heat accumulated in advance by the refrigerant in the liquid storage device 7, the heat of the surrounding environment and the heat generated by the work done by the compressor, so that the heating of the indoor heat exchanger 2 and the defrosting of the outdoor heat exchanger 3 can be still maintained to a certain extent, and the aim of defrosting the outdoor heat exchanger 3 without changing the whole refrigerant flow direction of the air conditioner is fulfilled.
The defrosting mode is a first defrosting mode of the present application.
The air conditioner can further comprise a bypass pipeline 8, the bypass pipeline 8 is connected with the indoor heat exchanger 2 in parallel, one end of the bypass pipeline 8 is communicated with the outdoor heat exchanger 3, the other end of the bypass pipeline 8 is communicated with the compressor 1, and a control valve 9 for controlling the bypass pipeline 8 to be switched on and off is arranged on the bypass pipeline 8.
Through increasing bypass line 8, can directly carry out the short circuit to indoor heat exchanger 2 at the air conditioner operation in-process for compressor 1 exhaust high temperature refrigerant can directly enter into outdoor heat exchanger 3 and defrost, because the high temperature refrigerant does not basically flow through indoor heat exchanger 2, therefore the heat of high temperature refrigerant can mainly used heat the defrosting to outdoor heat exchanger 3, can improve the defrosting efficiency to outdoor heat exchanger 3, guarantees to provide sufficient heat for the defrosting of outdoor heat exchanger 3. Meanwhile, although the high-temperature refrigerant does not flow through the indoor heat exchanger 2, the refrigerant entering the indoor heat exchanger 2 can still continuously radiate heat outwards when the air conditioner is in a normal heating state, so that the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger 2 can be effectively prevented from being rapidly reduced to influence the indoor temperature, the indoor temperature can be kept at a more appropriate temperature for a longer time, and the use experience of a user can not be reduced.
In the embodiment, a bypass pipeline 8 connected with the indoor heat exchanger 2 in parallel is added, so that a second defrosting mode is provided for the air conditioner. In the first defrosting mode, which is more suitable for a situation where the outdoor temperature is relatively high, the air conditioner can absorb enough heat from the outdoor environment to defrost when defrosting the outdoor heat exchanger 3. For the second defrosting mode, the air conditioner is more suitable for the situation that the outdoor temperature is relatively low, and in such a situation, the air conditioner is difficult to directly absorb enough heat from the outdoor environment to defrost the outdoor heat exchanger 3, so that the defrosting of the outdoor heat exchanger 3 is mainly realized by utilizing the heat of the refrigerant of the air conditioner. The two defrosting modes can be used for defrosting the outdoor heat exchanger 3 under the condition that the flowing direction of the whole refrigerant of the air conditioner is not switched, and the appropriate defrosting mode can be selected according to the actual working condition, so that the air conditioner has better working energy efficiency, and the indoor temperature can be influenced less.
The regulating pipeline 6 further comprises a throttling unit 10, and the throttling unit 10 is arranged on a pipeline between the liquid storage device 7 and the outdoor heat exchanger 3. The refrigerant flows to liquid storage device 7's in-process from outdoor heat exchanger 3, can at first carry out the throttle through throttle unit 10 to in-process that mixes with the refrigerant in liquid storage device 7, absorb more heat from liquid storage device 7's refrigerant, make the refrigerant heat in liquid storage device 7 can enter into the compressor more, improve the exhaust temperature of compressor, shorten the defrosting time simultaneously, can also utilize liquid storage device 7 to avoid taking place the liquid hammer phenomenon more effectively.
Preferably, the throttling unit 10 is a capillary tube. Other throttling elements such as electronic expansion valves may also be used in the throttling unit 10.
The structure for realizing the selective communication between the outdoor heat exchanger 3 and the adjusting pipeline 6 or the through pipeline 5 can be various, for example, the outdoor heat exchanger 3 is selectively communicated with the adjusting pipeline 6 or the through pipeline 5 through a three-way valve 11; or the regulating pipeline 6 and the straight-through pipeline 5 are respectively provided with a control valve 9 for controlling the on-off of the pipelines. In any case, as long as the refrigerant flow path can be controlled conveniently, the communication state between the outdoor heat exchanger 3 and the adjusting line 6 or the straight line 5 can be switched conveniently.
Preferably, the air conditioner further comprises a heater 12, wherein the heater 12 is used for heating the outlet air of the indoor heat exchanger 2; and/or the air conditioner also comprises a four-way valve 13, and the compressor 1, the indoor heat exchanger 2 and the outdoor heat exchanger 3 are connected with the four-way valve 13. When the air conditioner comprises the four-way valve 13, the defrosting control method can realize defrosting of the outdoor heat exchanger 3 without switching the four-way valve 13, reduce indoor temperature drop during defrosting under the condition of small system configuration change, improve comfort and reduce cost.
When the first defrosting mode is adopted for defrosting, the indoor heat exchanger 2 is still in a heating state, and therefore the indoor fan is required to be kept on, however, the heat source is less, the refrigerant absorbs heat and is difficult to ensure that the heating quantity of the indoor heat exchanger 2 meets the indoor heating requirement, and therefore under the state that the indoor fan is on, the air with relatively low temperature after the heat exchange of the indoor heat exchanger 2 can be rapidly diffused to the peripheral side, so that the indoor temperature is obviously reduced, therefore, in order to improve the condition, the indoor environment temperature is improved by increasing the auxiliary heat source, and the defrosting mode is an effective mode. This application is through increasing heater 12, can heat the air that indoor heat exchanger 2 blew out to effectively improve indoor ambient temperature, make indoor ambient temperature keep at suitable temperature, improve user's use experience more effectively.
The air conditioner further includes a gas-liquid separator 14, and the gas-liquid separator 14 is disposed at a suction port of the compressor 1.
The above-mentioned throttle device 4 is, for example, an electronic expansion valve. The liquid storage device 7 is, for example, a liquid storage tank.
Referring to fig. 6 and 7 in combination, according to an embodiment of the present application, a defrosting control method of an air conditioner includes: acquiring an outdoor environment temperature T outer ring and a tube temperature T outer tube of the outdoor heat exchanger 3; acquiring the temperature range of the T outer ring and the T outer tube; selecting a defrosting mode according to the temperature interval range of the T outer ring and the T outer pipe; wherein the defrosting mode comprises a first defrosting mode and a second defrosting mode; when the air conditioner is in a first defrosting mode, the straight pipeline 5 and the bypass pipeline 8 are closed, and the adjusting pipeline 6 is opened; when the air conditioner is in the second defrosting mode, the straight pipeline 5 is closed, and the bypass pipeline 8 and the adjusting pipeline 6 are opened.
Through the control method, the T outer ring and the T outer pipe can be used as a judgment basis for selecting the defrosting mode of the air conditioner, the T outer ring has a large influence on the air conditioner to absorb enough heat from the ambient environment to defrost the outdoor heat exchanger 3, the T outer pipe has enough influence on whether the refrigerant can provide enough heat for defrosting of the outdoor heat exchanger 3, and the T outer ring and the refrigerant can influence the defrosting effect and the defrosting efficiency of the outdoor heat exchanger 3 at the same time, so that accurate basis can be provided for selecting the defrosting mode of the air conditioner by obtaining the numerical values of the T outer ring and the T outer pipe, the defrosting efficiency and the defrosting effect of the outdoor heat exchanger 3 of the air conditioner are ensured, and the operation energy efficiency of the air conditioner is improved.
The step of selecting the defrosting mode according to the temperature interval range of the T outer ring and the T outer pipe comprises the following steps: when the T outer ring is more than or equal to a, and the T outer tube is more than T2 and less than or equal to T1 and lasts for T0 time, or when the T outer tube is more than T3 and less than or equal to T2, entering a first defrosting mode; and when the T outer ring is more than or equal to a and the T outer tube is less than or equal to T3, or when the T outer ring is less than a, entering a second defrosting mode.
The above-mentioned a is, for example, 1 deg.C, T1 is, for example, -5 deg.C, T2 is, for example, -10 deg.C to-5 deg.C, T3 is related to the outdoor ambient temperature, and is generally lower than the outdoor ambient temperature, for example, -10 deg.C. t0 is for example 2-3 min.
The three temperatures of T1, T2, T3 are the restriction to the frost accumulation degree, can guarantee to select suitable defrosting mode, can effectively prevent to adopt first defrosting mode to change the problem of unclean frost when outdoor heat exchanger 3 frosts too thickly for the air conditioner can select more suitable defrosting mode, improves the validity of outdoor heat exchanger 3 defrosting.
For example, the Touter pipe is lower than the defrosting temperature T1 and maintains a specified T0min between T1 and T2, then the first defrosting mode is entered; if the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger 3 drops more slowly and directly drops between T2 and T3, the first defrosting mode is directly entered without continuing; and if the tube temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger 3 is less than T3, judging that the frosting degree is severe, and selecting to enter a second defrosting mode for defrosting.
When the air conditioner enters a first defrosting mode, the defrosting control method comprises the following steps: controlling the throttle device 4 to be opened to a first preset step number; controlling the three-way valve 11 to switch so that the outdoor heat exchanger 3 is communicated with the adjusting pipeline 6 and is not communicated with the straight pipeline 5; the control valve 9 controlling the bypass line 8 closes the bypass line 8; turning on the heater 12; and adjusting the rotating speed of the indoor fan according to the pipe temperature of the indoor heat exchanger 2. The above-mentioned throttle device 4 is, for example, an electronic expansion valve.
In this embodiment, after the air conditioner enters the first defrosting mode, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve needs to be increased to a certain step number, preferably to the maximum opening degree, because when the air conditioner is in the first defrosting mode, both the indoor heat exchanger 2 and the outdoor heat exchanger 3 are in the heat release state, it is necessary to avoid throttling of the refrigerant before the refrigerant comes out of the indoor heat exchanger 2 to the outdoor heat exchanger 3, and to avoid heat absorption of the refrigerant after the refrigerant enters the outdoor heat exchanger 3, and therefore, the electronic expansion valve needs to be reduced or avoided as much as possible to play a throttling role, and it is ensured that the refrigerant still is in the heat release state after the refrigerant enters the outdoor heat exchanger 3.
Because the throttling unit 10 is arranged between the outdoor heat exchanger 3 and the liquid storage device 7, the refrigerant can absorb heat after entering the liquid storage device 7, under the condition, the indoor heat exchanger 2 and the outdoor heat exchanger 3 are taken as condensers, the throttling unit 10 is taken as a throttling device of the air conditioner, and the liquid storage device 7 is taken as an evaporator of the air conditioner, so that the refrigerant circularly flows, and the heat exchange circulation of the air conditioner can be ensured to be smoothly carried out.
When the air conditioner enters a second defrosting mode, the defrosting control method comprises the following steps: controlling the throttle device 4 to be opened to a second preset step number; controlling the three-way valve 11 to switch so that the outdoor heat exchanger 3 is communicated with the adjusting pipeline 6 and is not communicated with the straight pipeline 5; a control valve 9 for controlling the bypass pipeline 8 opens the bypass pipeline 8; controlling the outdoor fan to stop; and controlling the indoor fan to stop.
The defrosting control method further includes: detecting whether the air conditioner reaches a defrosting exit condition; when the air conditioner reaches a defrosting exit condition, the regulating pipeline 6 and the bypass pipeline 8 are controlled to be closed, and the straight pipeline 5 is opened; controlling the throttling device 4 to recover the normal heating opening; and controlling the indoor fan to recover to the set rotating speed.
When the air conditioner enters a first defrosting mode, the indoor fan adjusts the rotating speed according to the pipe temperature of the indoor heat exchanger 2, the outdoor heat exchanger 3 utilizes an environment heat source and a high-temperature refrigerant supercooled from the indoor heat exchanger 2 to defrost, and the defrosting process continuously supplies heat. When the air conditioner reaches a defrosting exit condition, the regulating pipeline 6 and the bypass pipeline 8 are controlled to be closed, and the straight pipeline 5 is opened; controlling the throttling device 4 to recover the normal heating opening; and controlling the indoor fan to recover to the set rotating speed, and simultaneously closing the heater 12 after the pipe temperature of the indoor heat exchanger 2 meets the requirement, thereby realizing the normal heating control of the air conditioner.
When the air conditioner enters a second defrosting mode, the control valve 9 on the bypass pipeline 8 is opened, the three-way valve is switched to the adjusting pipeline 6 where the liquid storage device 7 is located, the electronic expansion valve is adjusted to a preset opening degree, the outdoor fan and the indoor fan stop simultaneously, high-temperature refrigerants directly enter the outdoor heat exchanger 3 from the bypass pipeline 8 to be defrosted, the liquid storage device 7 is throttled and flashed to form a small evaporator, defrosting efficiency is improved, and liquid refrigerants are prevented from entering the compressor to generate liquid impact. The outdoor fan and the indoor fan stop, and the indoor heat exchanger 2 does not heat at the moment, so that the indoor fan stops, air with lower temperature generated by the indoor heat exchanger 2 can stay on the peripheral side of the indoor heat exchanger 2, the air cannot be rapidly expanded to other indoor positions, the indoor temperature is rapidly reduced, the indoor temperature can be kept in a higher state for a long time, the adverse effect on the indoor temperature in a defrosting stage is effectively reduced, and the indoor temperature is maintained to be suitable. And the outdoor fan stops, then can guarantee that the heat that the refrigerant distributes through outdoor heat exchanger 3 can keep around outdoor heat exchanger 3 for form the air of higher temperature around outdoor heat exchanger 3, thereby accelerate the defrosting efficiency of outdoor heat exchanger 3, improve the defrosting effect of outdoor heat exchanger 3.
