Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer and clearer, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
The inventor finds that the return air superheat degree has certain limitation at low-temperature environment temperature, and the deviation between the suction superheat degree detected by the temperature sensing bulb and an actual value is large, so that the suction superheat degree detected and calculated has deviation, and if the suction superheat degree is not corrected, the normal operation of the air conditioner is influenced.
In order to solve the problems, in the embodiment of the invention, the air suction superheat degree and the exhaust superheat degree of a compressor of the air conditioner are firstly obtained, then the target air suction superheat degree is obtained according to the exhaust superheat degree, the opening degree of an expansion valve of the air conditioner is adjusted according to the air suction superheat degree and the target air suction superheat degree, and the deviation between a detection value and an actual value caused by a temperature sensing bulb is eliminated by introducing the target air suction superheat degree, so that the normal operation of the air conditioner is ensured. And the actual exhaust superheat degree is used as auxiliary adjustment, so that the system is prevented from carrying liquid for a long time and the exhaust superheat degree is small, and the reliability of the compressor is improved.
In addition, for a multi-split air conditioner (the multi-split air conditioner means that one outdoor unit can be connected with a plurality of indoor units to operate, the indoor units are independently installed in each room and are independently controlled), the opening control of different indoor electronic expansion valves is the key for determining the performance, the energy efficiency and the comfort of the whole air conditioner.

It will be appreciated that in the application scenarios described above, the actions of the embodiments of the present invention are described as being performed in part by the air conditioner and in part by the terminal. However, such actions may be entirely terminal or entirely performed by the air conditioner. The invention is not limited in its implementation to the details of execution, provided that the acts disclosed in the embodiments of the invention are performed. The terminal includes a desktop terminal or a mobile terminal, such as a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a smart phone, and the like. The air conditioner can be a variable frequency air conditioner, a multi-split air conditioner or a variable frequency multi-split air conditioner.
It should be noted that the above application scenarios are only presented to facilitate understanding of the present invention, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited in any way in this respect. Rather, embodiments of the present invention may be applied to any scenario where applicable.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, the present invention provides some embodiments of a method for controlling an expansion valve of an air conditioner.
The air conditioner includes: an evaporator 1, a compressor 2, a condenser 3, and an expansion valve 4, which are connected in sequence to form a circuit. If the air conditioner is a general air conditioner, as shown in fig. 2a, the air conditioner has only one evaporator 1 and 1 corresponding expansion valve 4. If the air conditioner is a multi-split air conditioner, the evaporator 1 includes at least 2 sub-evaporators, and the expansion valve 4 includes at least 2 sub-expansion valves, as shown in fig. 2b, the evaporator 1 has 4 sub-evaporators, and correspondingly, there are 4 sub-expansion valves, which are respectively disposed at the inlets of the sub-evaporators. The air conditioner also comprises a four-way valve 5, a liquid storage tank 6 and a throttling element 7; the first end of the four-way valve 5 is connected with the outlet of the evaporator 1, the second end is connected with the inlet of the liquid storage tank 6, the third end is connected with the inlet of the condenser 3, and the fourth end is connected with the outlet of the compressor 2. The condenser 3 is connected to the evaporator 1 via the throttle element 7. The outlet and the inlet of the compressor 2 are respectively provided with compressor temperature sensing bulbs 81 and 82 (a compressor temperature sensor may also be adopted) for detecting the temperatures (i.e., the discharge temperature and the suction temperature) of the refrigerant at the outlet and the inlet of the compressor 2, and the outlet and the inlet of the compressor 2 are respectively provided with pressure sensors 83 and 84 for detecting the pressures (i.e., the discharge pressure and the suction pressure) of the refrigerant at the outlet and the inlet of the compressor 2 as required. The outlets of the 4 sub-evaporators are respectively provided with evaporator temperature sensing bulbs 91 (evaporator temperature sensors can also be adopted), and the evaporator temperature sensing bulbs are respectively used for detecting the outlet temperature of each sub-evaporator. The condenser 3 is provided with a condenser thermal bulb 92 (a condenser temperature sensor may also be adopted) for detecting the temperature of the condenser 3.
The control method comprises the following steps:
and step S10, when the air conditioner enters the high temperature protection mode, detecting the discharge temperature Td of the compressor 2, and adjusting the opening degree of the expansion valve 4 to exit the high temperature protection mode.
When the air conditioner enters the high-temperature protection mode, corresponding adjustment is needed to exit the high-temperature protection mode. Specifically, the high temperature protection mode is exited by adjusting the opening degree of the expansion valve 4, but in other embodiments, the high temperature protection mode may be exited by other means.
In order to better acquire data to control the expansion valve, when the air conditioner exits the high temperature protection mode, the data is acquired and the expansion valve is finely controlled (i.e., step S100-step S300). And if the air conditioner enters the high-temperature prevention protection mode, roughly controlling the opening degree of the expansion valve 4 so as to obtain data after the air conditioner exits the high-temperature prevention protection mode, and finely controlling the expansion valve.
Specifically, when Td ≧ 102 ℃ is maintained for a duration exceeding the duration, the air conditioner enters a high temperature protection mode, and the expansion valve 4 is increased by a preset opening degree at intervals, and the duration may be 30s-90s, for example, set to 60 s. An interval time may be set to 20s-40s, for example to 30 s. The preset opening is 20-30P, for example, set to 24P. Td is more than or equal to 102 ℃, the exhaust temperature Td is maintained to be more than or equal to 102 ℃ in the duration time, the exhaust temperature is high, the air conditioner enters a high-temperature prevention protection mode, the opening degree of the expansion valve 4 is increased to reduce the exhaust temperature, and the air conditioner exits the high-temperature prevention protection mode.
By adjusting the opening degree of the expansion valve 4, better data can be obtained when the exhaust temperature Td is within a preset temperature range, thereby better adjusting the opening degree of the expansion valve. In one implementation manner of this embodiment, the preset temperature range is [70, 90 ], and when Td is greater than or equal to 70 ℃ and less than 90 ℃, the steps S100-S300 are performed.
When the exhaust temperature Td is within the preset temperature range, it indicates that the air conditioner is in a relatively stable period, and if the exhaust temperature Td is outside the preset temperature range, the opening degree of the expansion valve 4 may be correspondingly adjusted according to the condition of the exhaust temperature Td, so as to make the exhaust temperature Td within the preset temperature range, thereby performing the following steps to further adjust the opening degree of the expansion valve 4. Specifically, when Td ≧ 90 ℃, the expansion valve 4 is not adjusted down, that is, the expansion valve 4 may be adjusted up or not adjusted. When Td < 70 deg.c, the expansion valve 4 is not adjusted large, i.e. the expansion valve 4 may be adjusted small or not.
When the discharge temperature does not cause the air conditioner to enter the high temperature prevention protection mode, the fine control of the opening degree of the expansion valve 4 can be directly performed. According to the invention, the exhaust temperature is adjusted according to the steps, so that the exhaust temperature is in the preset temperature range as much as possible, and more accurate temperature data can be obtained, thereby more accurately adjusting the opening degree of the expansion valve 4.
And step S100, acquiring the suction superheat degree and the exhaust superheat degree of the compressor 2 of the air conditioner.
The suction superheat is the temperature difference between the temperature of the gas sucked by the compressor 2 and the corresponding saturation temperature at the corresponding pressure. The degree of superheat plays a significant role in the normal operation of the expansion valve 4. If the suction is completely non-overheated, the suction may generate return air and carry liquid, and even cause wet stroke liquid impact to damage the compressor 2. To avoid this, a certain degree of suction superheat is required to ensure that only dry vapor enters the compressor 2 (the presence of superheat, depending on the refrigerant properties, indicates complete evaporation of the liquid refrigerant). However, too high superheat also has the disadvantage that the high superheat causes the exhaust temperature (exhaust superheat) of the compressor 2 to increase, and the operation condition of the compressor 2 deteriorates and the service life is reduced. Therefore, the degree of superheat of the intake air should be controlled within a certain range.
The discharge superheat is the temperature difference between the temperature of the discharge pipe of the compressor 2 and the saturation temperature corresponding to the respective pressure. When the discharge superheat degree of the compressor 2 is too large, the suction specific volume is increased, and the refrigerant flow is reduced; when the discharge superheat of the compressor 2 is too small, liquid compression occurs, which not only degrades the performance of the air conditioner, but also causes a failure of the compressor 2.
Step S100 specifically includes:
step S110, determining an initial opening degree of the expansion valve 4 according to an ambient temperature of the condenser 3 of the air conditioner and an operation state of the evaporator 1 of the air conditioner.
Since the temperature sensing bulb is easily affected by the ambient temperature, especially in a low-temperature environment, the ambient temperature of the condenser 3 has a large influence on the temperature sensing bulb, thereby affecting the temperature measured by the temperature sensing bulb. The initial opening degree of the expansion valve 4 is determined according to the ambient temperature of the condenser 3 and the operating state of the evaporator 1, for example, when the ambient temperature of the condenser 3 is high, the initial opening degree of the expansion valve 4 is set high, whereas when the ambient temperature of the condenser 3 is low, the initial opening degree of the expansion valve 4 is set low. When the evaporator 1 is in low power operation, the initial opening degree of the expansion valve 4 is set to be high, whereas when the evaporator 1 is in high power operation, the initial opening degree of the expansion valve 4 is set to be low.
In a multi-split air conditioner, the evaporator 1 includes at least 2 sub-evaporators; the expansion valve 4 comprises at least 2 sub-expansion valves, and the sub-expansion valves are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the sub-evaporators. The operation state of the evaporator 1 of the air conditioner includes the number of the sub-evaporators in operation. That is, in addition to considering that the evaporator 1 is in the high/low power operation, the number of the sub-evaporators is also considered. It is necessary to give the opening degree of the expansion valve 4 according to the ambient temperature of the condenser 3 and the number of the sub-evaporators and maintain the opening degree of the expansion valve 4 for a preset maintenance time, which may be set to 1-30 minutes, for example, to 3 minutes. Maintaining the opening degree of the expansion valve 4 may result in more accurate temperature data or pressure data, thereby more accurately adjusting the opening degree of the expansion valve 4.
And step S120, obtaining the suction superheat degree according to the outlet temperature of the evaporator 1 of the air conditioner and the suction temperature of the compressor 2 of the air conditioner.
When calculating the suction superheat of the compressor 2, the corresponding saturation temperature at the corresponding pressure is typically collected in the following manner: (1) collecting the temperature of the inlet of the evaporator 1; (2) collecting the temperature of the middle part of the evaporator 1; (3) the suction pressure of the compressor 2 is collected and converted into corresponding saturation temperature. In the embodiment of the invention, the outlet temperature of the evaporator 1 is collected as the corresponding saturation temperature under the corresponding pressure, and is collected through the temperature sensing bulb. Of course, in other embodiments, the corresponding saturation temperature at the corresponding pressure can be obtained by the above three methods.
The suction air superheat SH1 is the suction air temperature TH of the compressor 2 — the outlet temperature x of the evaporator 1, which is obtained by subtracting the outlet temperature of the evaporator 1 of the air conditioner from the suction air temperature of the compressor 2 of the air conditioner.
In the multi-split air conditioner, the outlet temperature of the evaporator 1 is specifically the average outlet temperature of the evaporator 1, that is, the outlet temperature of each sub-evaporator is collected and then averaged to obtain the average outlet temperature of the evaporator 1.
The average outlet temperature of the evaporator 1 is:
wherein the content of the first and second substances,
represents the average outlet temperature of the evaporator 1, Σ represents the sum sign, H represents the number of said sub-evaporators, aiRepresents the coefficient of the ith sub-evaporator, a when the sub-evaporator has capacity to demand (i.e. is in operation)iIs 1, when the sub-evaporator has no capacity requirement (i.e. is in non-working state), aiIs 0, TbiRepresents the outlet temperature of the ith said sub-evaporator. Of course, different working states correspond to different capacity requirements, then a can be usediIs set to [0, 1]Numerical values within the ranges.
The suction superheat SH1 is obtained by subtracting the outlet temperature of the evaporator 1 from the suction temperature of the compressor 2, and in a multi-split air conditioner, the suction superheat SH1 is equal to the suction temperature TH of the compressor 2 — the average outlet temperature of the evaporator 1
And step S130, obtaining the exhaust superheat degree according to the exhaust temperature Td of the compressor 2 and the temperature of the condenser 3 of the air conditioner.
When calculating the degree of superheat of the discharge gas of the compressor 2, the corresponding saturation temperature at the corresponding pressure is generally acquired in the following manners: (1) collecting the temperature of an outlet of the condenser 3; (2) collecting the temperature of the middle part of the condenser 3; (3) and collecting the exhaust pressure of the condenser 3, and converting the exhaust pressure into the corresponding saturation temperature. In the embodiment of the invention, the temperature of the middle part of the condenser 3 is collected as the corresponding saturation temperature under the corresponding pressure, and is collected through the temperature sensing bulb. Of course, in other embodiments, the corresponding saturation temperature at the corresponding pressure may be obtained by using other two methods.
The exhaust superheat degree Δ Td is obtained by subtracting the temperature of the condenser 3 of the air conditioner from the exhaust temperature Td of the compressor 2, that is, the exhaust superheat degree Δ Td is equal to the exhaust temperature Td of the compressor 2 — the temperature T3 of the condenser 3 of the air conditioner.
And step S200, obtaining a target suction superheat SH2 according to the exhaust superheat.
In the embodiment, the target suction superheat SH2 is obtained through the exhaust superheat delta Td so as to avoid suction superheat errors in the adjusting process.
Specifically, a target suction superheat degree corresponding to the exhaust superheat degree in a one-to-one mode is obtained according to the exhaust superheat degree delta Td. The exhaust superheat degree delta Td and the target intake superheat degree SH2 can form a corresponding table, and after the exhaust superheat degree delta Td is obtained, the corresponding table is inquired to obtain the target intake superheat degree SH 2.
For example, when Δ Td ≦ 20, SH2 ≦ 5;
when the delta Td is more than or equal to 20 and less than or equal to 25, the SH2 is equal to 4;
when the delta Td is more than or equal to 25 and less than 30, the SH2 is equal to 3;
when the delta Td is more than or equal to 30 and less than 35, the SH2 is equal to 1;
when delta Td is more than or equal to 35 and less than 40, SH2 is equal to 0;
when the delta Td is more than or equal to 40 and less than 45, SH2 is equal to-1;
when Δ Td >45, SH2 ═ 2.
Of course, a corresponding table may be formed by setting the exhaust superheat degree Δ Td and the target suction superheat degree SH2 corresponding thereto as needed. For example, a correspondence table is set according to the ambient temperature of the condenser 3. In summary, the larger the exhaust superheat Δ Td, the smaller the target intake superheat SH2 corresponding thereto.
And step S300, adjusting the opening degree of an expansion valve 4 of the air conditioner according to the suction superheat degree and the target suction superheat degree.
Specifically, the opening degree of the expansion valve 4 is adjusted in accordance with the difference between the suction superheat and the target suction superheat.
In a general air conditioner, there is only one evaporator without forming a sub-evaporator, and there is only one corresponding expansion valve without forming a sub-expansion valve.
Step S300 includes:
step S310a is to obtain a first opening degree variation of the expansion valve based on the suction superheat and the target suction superheat.
The first opening degree change amount Δ P1 of the expansion valve 4 is equal to the intake air superheat SH1 — the target intake air superheat SH2, and here is equal to the intake air superheat SH1 TH-x. If Δ Td.gtoreq.42 ℃ and SH1-SH2<0, Δ P1 is set to 0. If Td.ltoreq.20 ℃ and SH1-SH2>0, then Δ P1 is likewise set to 0. Under other conditions, the calculation was carried out using Δ P1 ═ SH1-SH 2. Of course, the temperature of 42 ℃ and 20 ℃ can be set according to the requirement.
And step S320a, adjusting the opening degree of the expansion valve of the air conditioner by the first opening degree variation of the expansion valve at predetermined time intervals.
And adjusting the opening degree of the expansion valve according to the first opening degree variable quantity on the basis of the initial opening degree every other preset time T. That is, the first opening degree variation amount is added on the basis of the initial opening degree, where the first opening degree variation amount may be a positive value indicating that the first opening degree variation amount is increased on the basis of the initial opening degree or a negative value indicating that the first opening degree variation amount is decreased on the basis of the initial opening degree.
The sub-expansion valves corresponding to the sub-evaporators are adjusted differently in consideration of the fact that the states of the sub-evaporators are different from each other. Therefore, the refrigerants of the sub-evaporators are balanced, and the performance of each indoor unit of the air conditioner is improved.
Step S300 includes:
step S310b is to obtain a first opening degree variation of the expansion valve 4 from the intake superheat and the target intake superheat.
The first opening degree change amount Δ P1 of the expansion valve 4 is equal to the intake air superheat SH1 — the target intake air superheat SH 2. If Δ Td.gtoreq.42 ℃ and SH1-SH2<0, Δ P1 is set to 0. If Td.ltoreq.20 ℃ and SH1-SH2>0, then Δ P1 is likewise set to 0. Under other conditions, the calculation was carried out using Δ P1 ═ SH1-SH 2. Of course, the temperature of 42 ℃ and 20 ℃ can be set according to the requirement.
And realizing exhaust superheat adjustment and suction superheat adjustment of the air conditioner through the first opening variation. Of course, in the embodiment of the present invention, the opening degree of the expansion valve 4 may be adjusted according to the first opening degree variation after obtaining the first opening degree variation. The state of each sub-evaporator can be further combined to adjust so as to realize average pipe temperature adjustment.
Step S320b, obtaining a second opening degree variation of the sub-expansion valve according to the average outlet temperature of the evaporator 1 and the outlet temperature of the sub-evaporator.
When the sub-expansion valves are adjusted for the respective sub-evaporators, the second opening degree variation amounts calculated for the respective sub-evaporators are not completely the same. The second opening degree variation Δ
Wherein, Δ P2iSpecifically, the second opening degree variation of the sub expansion valve corresponding to the ith sub evaporator is set.
