Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. The components of embodiments of the present invention generally described and illustrated in the figures herein may be arranged and designed in a wide variety of different configurations.
In the related technology, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled by superheat degree, so that the refrigerant at the outlet of the evaporator has a certain superheat degree, the suction gas of the compressor is ensured not to carry liquid, and the working safety of the compressor is ensured. However, in the research, the designer of the application finds that the control idea of the electronic expansion valve in the related art is mostly considered from the reliability, and lacks the consideration of cold quantity adjustment, so that the problem that the air conditioner is prone to frequent warm-up shutdown when the refrigeration of the air conditioner is close to warm-up shutdown (namely the ambient temperature is close to the set temperature) is difficult to solve, and the user experience is influenced. For the air conditioning system with one unit driving one air conditioner, the mode of reducing the frequency of the compressor can be adopted to reduce the cold output. However, the multi-split air conditioner needs to comprehensively consider the load conditions of different rooms, and cannot meet the special conditions of individual rooms. If most rooms are relatively high in load and high in cold quantity demand, the individual rooms are close to the warm shutdown, the cold quantity demand is low, the compressor still needs high-frequency output at the moment, and the small rooms are easy to enter the warm shutdown and are frequently started and stopped. Therefore, the air conditioner in the related art has the problems that the cooling capacity is difficult to control, and the air conditioner is easy to have frequent warm-up shutdown.
In order to improve the technical problem, the invention provides a control method and a control device for an electronic expansion valve of an air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner, which are used for controlling the refrigerating capacity of the air conditioner and can effectively avoid frequent startup and shutdown of the air conditioner.
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below.
The embodiment of the invention provides a control method and a control device of an electronic expansion valve of an air conditioner indoor unit, which are applied to an air conditioner 1. The air conditioner 1 may be a unit-by-unit air conditioning system or a multi-split air conditioning system. In the present embodiment, the air conditioner 1 is specifically described as a multi-split air conditioner.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the air conditioner 1 includes an outdoor unit 10 and a plurality of air conditioner indoor units 20 connected to the outdoor unit 10. Each air conditioner internal unit 20 includes an evaporator 201, a fan 202, an electronic expansion valve 203, an evaporator inlet temperature sensor 204, an evaporator outlet temperature sensor 205, and an ambient temperature sensor 206. The electronic expansion valve 203 is connected to the outdoor unit 10 and the inlet of the evaporator 201, and the outlet of the evaporator 201 is connected to the outdoor unit 10. The blower 202 is used to blow air to the evaporator 201 so that the air heat-exchanged by the evaporator 201 is blown into the room. An evaporator inlet temperature sensor 204 is provided at the inlet of the evaporator 201 for detecting an evaporator inlet temperature, denoted Tei. An evaporator outlet temperature sensor 205 is provided at the outlet of the evaporator 201 for detecting an evaporator outlet temperature, which is denoted Teo. The ambient temperature sensor 206 is disposed at the air inlet, and obtains the ambient temperature of the air conditioner indoor unit 20 by detecting the return air temperature, where the ambient temperature is represented by Ta.
Referring to fig. 3, the air conditioner 1 further includes a controller 207, and the controller 207 is electrically connected to the evaporator inlet temperature sensor 204, the evaporator outlet temperature sensor 205, the ambient temperature sensor 206, and the electronic expansion valve 203, respectively. The controller 207 is configured to receive an evaporator inlet temperature detected by the evaporator inlet temperature sensor 204, an evaporator outlet temperature detected by the evaporator outlet temperature sensor 205, and an ambient temperature detected by the ambient temperature sensor 206. And the controller 207 is also used for calculating the real-time superheat degree of the evaporator 201 according to the evaporator inlet temperature and the evaporator outlet temperature. The real-time superheat of the evaporator 201 is denoted by Δ Te. In this embodiment, the real-time superheat is evaporator outlet temperature — evaporator inlet temperature, that is, Δ Te is Teo-Tei. The controller 207 is further configured to calculate a temperature-to-shutdown temperature difference according to the ambient temperature and the set temperature of the air conditioner 1, where the set temperature of the air conditioner 1 is represented by Ts and the temperature-to-shutdown temperature difference is represented by Δ Ta. It should be noted that the set temperature is a heat exchange target temperature set by a user through a remote controller or a control panel, and the difference value between the temperature to the warm shutdown temperature is used to represent the degree of the air conditioner 1 approaching to the warm shutdown. In the present embodiment, the temperature difference to warm-stop is equal to the ambient temperature — the set temperature, that is, Δ Ta is equal to Ta — Ts. In addition, the controller 207 is also configured to set a target superheat degree of the evaporator 201, which is denoted by T, and to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 203 by Δ Te → T during cooling operation of the air conditioner 1, that is, to control the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 203 such that the real-time superheat degree Δ Te reaches the target superheat degree T. The controller 207 is further configured to obtain a target superheat initial value of the refrigeration operation of the evaporator 201, where the target superheat initial value represents a target superheat degree of the evaporator 201 in the initial state of the refrigeration operation after responding to the refrigeration operation instruction of the user. The target superheat initial value is denoted TA, which may alternatively be preset at 2-4 ℃.
The controller 207 may be an integrated circuit chip having signal processing capabilities. The controller 207 may be a general-purpose processor, and may include a Central Processing Unit (CPU), a single chip Microcomputer (MCU), a Micro Controller Unit (MCU), a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD), a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), an embedded ARM, and other chips, where the controller 207 may implement or execute the methods, steps, and Logic blocks disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention.
In a possible implementation manner, the air conditioner 1 may further include a memory for storing program instructions executable by the controller 207, for example, the control device 30 of the electronic expansion valve of the air conditioner internal unit provided in the embodiment of the present application includes at least one of the program instructions stored in the memory in the form of software or firmware. The Memory may be a stand-alone external Memory including, but not limited to, Random Access Memory (RAM), Read Only Memory (ROM), Programmable Read-Only Memory (PROM), Erasable Read-Only Memory (EPROM), electrically Erasable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM). The memory may also be integrated with the controller 207, for example, the memory may be integrated with the controller 207 on the same chip.
Referring to fig. 4, based on the air conditioner 1, a method for controlling an electronic expansion valve of an air conditioner internal unit according to an embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below. The control method of the electronic expansion valve of the air conditioner indoor unit provided by the embodiment of the invention can comprise the following steps:
and step S100, responding to the refrigerating operation instruction of the user to control the air conditioner 1 to perform refrigerating operation.
In step S200, fuzzy control is performed on the electronic expansion valve 203 of the air conditioner indoor unit 20 according to the target superheat degree of the evaporator 201 of the air conditioner indoor unit 20.
In step S200, the electronic expansion valve 203 performs fuzzy control in accordance with the real-time superheat Δ Te → T of the evaporator 201, and controls the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 203 so that the real-time superheat Δ Te reaches the target superheat T. In the initial state of the cooling operation of the air conditioner 1, the controller 207 sets a target superheat initial value as a target superheat degree, that is, T is TA. At this time, the electronic expansion valve 203 is fuzzy-controlled with the target superheat initial value as the target superheat degree. It should be noted that, when the air conditioner normally performs conventional refrigeration, in order to maximize the heat exchange capacity of the evaporator 201 and the refrigerant, ensure the output of the refrigeration capacity, and ensure the suction safety of the compressor, the TA may be selected to be 2 to 4 ℃ according to an empirical value, and further may be selected to be 3 ℃ in this embodiment.
Referring to fig. 5, in the present embodiment, step S200 may include the following sub-steps S210-S240:
in substep S210, the real-time superheat of the evaporator 201 is acquired.
In sub-step S210, the evaporator inlet temperature Tei detected by the evaporator inlet temperature sensor 204 is obtained, and the evaporator outlet temperature Teo detected by the evaporator outlet temperature sensor 205 is obtained. The real-time superheat of the evaporator 201 is calculated from the evaporator inlet temperature and the evaporator outlet temperature. In this embodiment, the real-time superheat degree Δ Te is equal to the evaporator outlet temperature Teo — the evaporator inlet temperature Tei, that is, Δ Te is equal to Teo-Tei.
In the substep S220, if the real-time superheat is greater than the sum of the target superheat and the preset superheat, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 203 is controlled to be increased.
In the sub-step S220, a first preset superheat degree is indicated by T1 and is set accordingly according to actual needs. That is, it is determined whether Δ Te > T + T1 is satisfied. In this embodiment, T1 may be selected as 1 ℃, i.e., whether Δ Te > T +1 is satisfied. When Δ Te > T + T1, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 203 is controlled to increase the refrigerant flow rate.
In the substep S230, if the real-time superheat is less than the target superheat minus a second preset superheat, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 203 is controlled to decrease.
In the substep S230, a second preset superheat degree is represented by T2, and is set correspondingly according to actual needs, and the second preset superheat degree and the first preset superheat degree may have the same value or different values. That is, it is determined whether Δ Te < T-T2 is satisfied. In this embodiment, T2 may be selected as 1 deg.C, i.e., whether Δ Te < T-1 is satisfied. When the delta Te is less than T-T2, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 203 is controlled to be reduced so as to reduce the flow rate of the refrigerant.
In the substep S240, if the real-time superheat is greater than or equal to the difference between the target superheat and the second preset superheat and is less than or equal to the sum of the target superheat and the first preset superheat, the electronic expansion valve 203 is controlled to maintain the current opening degree.
In sub-step S240, when T-T2 ≦ Δ Te ≦ T + T1, it may be assumed that the real-time superheat degree is within the appropriate range around the target superheat degree, and the electronic expansion valve 203 is controlled to maintain the current opening degree.
It should be noted that, in the above substeps S220-S240, the specific speed of the electronic expansion valve 203 may be adjusted and verified by experiments according to the difference between the current real-time superheat degree Δ Te and the target superheat degree T, and the difference between the current real-time superheat degree Δ Te and the last real-time superheat degree Δ Te.
Referring to fig. 4, in step S300, the ambient temperature of the air conditioner 20 and the set temperature of the air conditioner 1 during the cooling operation are obtained.
In step S300, the ambient temperature of the air conditioner indoor unit 20 is detected in real time by the ambient temperature sensor 206.
And step S400, calculating the difference between the environment temperature and the set temperature to obtain a temperature shutdown temperature difference.
In step S400, the warm-up shutdown temperature difference is calculated according to the following relationship: Δ Ta — Ts. The warm-up shutdown temperature difference may be indicative of the extent to which the air conditioner 1 is approaching a warm-up shutdown.
Step S500, judging whether the temperature shutdown temperature difference is smaller than a first preset adjusting temperature and larger than a second preset adjusting temperature.
In step S500, a first preset adjustment temperature is represented by a, and a second preset adjustment temperature is represented by a, i.e., it is determined whether a < Δ Ta < a is satisfied. In actual operation, when the difference between the ambient temperature and the set temperature is 5 ℃, the refrigeration requirement is small, and the air conditioner 1 has a trend of warm shutdown, so that optionally the first preset adjusting temperature a is 5 ℃. In addition, the second preset regulation temperature a represents a critical temperature at which the air conditioner 1 has reached a warm stop. Optionally, in this embodiment, the second preset adjustment temperature a is-1 ℃ according to actual needs. Then, it is judged whether-1 < Δ Ta < A is satisfied.
In step S600, if the temperature shutdown temperature difference is smaller than the first preset adjustment temperature and greater than the second preset adjustment temperature, the target superheat degree of the evaporator 201 of the indoor unit 20 of the air conditioner is increased.
In step S600, when a < Δ Ta < a is satisfied, it may be determined that the air conditioner 1 has a tendency to warm-stop, and at this time, the cooling output may be reduced by closing the electronic expansion valve 203 to reduce the refrigerant flow rate, and in the control manner, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 203 may be controlled to be reduced by setting the target superheat degree to reduce the cooling output of the air conditioner 1. After step S600, step S200 is executed, that is, the electronic expansion valve 203 is fuzzy-controlled according to the target superheat degree after the increase, at this time, since the target superheat degree is increased, Δ Te < T-T2 may be satisfied, and therefore, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 203 is controlled to be decreased to decrease the refrigerant flow rate. It should be appreciated that after the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 203 is decreased, steps S300-S500 are repeated, and if a < Δ Ta < a in step S600 is still satisfied, the target superheat degree is continued to be increased, thereby further decreasing the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 203. Thus, according to the fuzzy control of the electronic expansion valve 203 and the judgment of the temperature difference value of the cycle to the warm shutdown, the electronic expansion valve 203 is continuously closed, the refrigerant flow is further reduced, the output of the refrigerating capacity is controlled, the air conditioner 1 is maintained to work at a low cooling capacity in a stage with the trend of the warm shutdown, and the frequent startup and shutdown are avoided.
In addition, in step S600, if the temperature-to-shutdown temperature difference is smaller than the first preset adjustment temperature and larger than the second preset adjustment temperature, the target superheat degree increases as the temperature-to-shutdown temperature difference decreases, and the absolute value of the ratio of the target superheat degree to the temperature-to-shutdown temperature difference increases as the temperature-to-shutdown temperature difference decreases. That is, when a < Δ Ta < a is satisfied, if Δ Ta is decreased, it is considered that the cooling of the air conditioner 1 tends to be more toward the warm stop, and in order to ensure that the unit is kept operating, the target superheat degree can be increased more quickly at this time, and the cooling output is decreased more quickly, that is, Δ Ta is decreased, and the absolute value of the rate of change of the target superheat degree with the change in the temperature difference to the warm stop increases.
Referring to fig. 6, in the present embodiment, if the temperature shutdown temperature difference is smaller than the first preset adjustment temperature and larger than the second preset adjustment temperature, the target superheat degree is set according to the following relation:
T=TA+K×(ΔTa-A)2。
wherein K represents a proportionality coefficient.
The smaller Δ Ta, the larger the rate of change of the target superheat. Optionally, a mathematical model between T and Δ Ta is established, i.e., an upward parabola. Where K × (Δ Ta-a)2 is a superheat correction term, and indicates a correction performed based on the target superheat initial value Ta.
In addition, TB: the target superheat degree when Δ Ta is 0, the ambient temperature reaches the set temperature, the theoretically required cooling capacity is 0, and the air conditioner 1 is required to output the minimum cooling capacity to keep the stable operation of the air conditioner without frequent startup and shutdown.
Referring to fig. 4, in step S700, if the temperature shutdown temperature difference is greater than or equal to the first preset adjustment temperature, the target superheat degree is set as the target superheat initial value of the refrigeration operation of the evaporator 201.
In step S700, when Δ Ta ≧ a is satisfied, it is assumed that the air conditioner 1 has not yet had a tendency to stop at the warm temperature, and at this time, the cooling demand of the air conditioner 1 is large, and the target superheat degree is set to the target superheat initial value for the cooling operation of the evaporator 201, that is, T ═ Ta. After step S700, step S200 is continued, that is, fuzzy control is performed on the electronic expansion valve 203 with the target superheat initial value as the target superheat degree, and steps S300 to S500 are repeated, and control is performed accordingly according to the result of the next determination.
In this embodiment, a target superheat function may be established in step S600 and step S700:
T=TA,ΔTa≥A;
T=TA+K×(ΔTa-A)2,a<ΔTa<A。
the values for a and K can be adjusted by mathematical modeling and experimental verification. In this embodiment, the air conditioner 1 needs a heat exchange temperature difference for cooling, and the evaporator inlet temperature is controlled to be higher than 0 ℃ to prevent the evaporator 201 from freezing, so that the real-time superheat degree of the evaporator 201 is equal to the evaporator outlet temperature — the evaporator inlet temperature < the evaporator outlet temperature < the outlet air temperature of the air conditioner 1 < the set temperature of the air conditioner 1. If the target superheat of the evaporator 201 is set too high, the real-time superheat cannot reach the target value, and the electronic expansion valve 203 is continuously closed to the minimum opening degree, which may result in insufficient capacity output, so the target superheat is set to the practically achievable range. The minimum refrigeration set temperature of the air conditioner is 16 ℃, and if T is less than 16, TB is 3+ K multiplied by 25 and less than 16. When TB is 10 ℃, 3+ Kx 25 is 10, and K is 0.28. Therefore, in this embodiment, the specific target superheat function is:
T=3,ΔTa≥5;
T=3+0.28×(ΔTa-5)2,-1<ΔTa<5。
it should be noted that, in this embodiment, each parameter value is an example for convenience of describing the technical solution, and is an experience recommended value, and may be set correspondingly according to needs and test effects in practical application.
Step S800, if the temperature shutdown temperature difference is less than or equal to the second preset adjustment temperature, controlling the compressor of the air conditioner 1 to shutdown and restoring the electronic expansion valve 203 to the initial opening degree, or controlling the electronic expansion valves 203 of the air conditioner internal units 20 to be all closed or all adjusted to the minimum opening degree.
In step S800, if Δ Ta ≦ a is satisfied, i.e., Δ Ta ≦ -1 in the present embodiment, it may be determined that the air conditioner 1 has been shutdown at warm temperature. At this time, for the unit-by-unit air conditioning system, the compressor of the air conditioner 1 is controlled to stop and the electronic expansion valve 203 is restored to the initial opening degree. For the multi-split air conditioner, the electronic expansion valves 203 of the air conditioner indoor units 20 are controlled to be all closed or all adjusted to the minimum opening degree.
It should be noted that, when the air conditioner resumes the cooling operation after the warm-up and shutdown, the steps S200 to S800 are continuously executed, and the above control is repeated.
According to the control method of the electronic expansion valve of the air conditioner indoor unit provided by the embodiment of the invention, under the condition that the difference value of the temperature-reaching shutdown temperature is smaller than the first preset regulation temperature and larger than the second preset regulation temperature, the air conditioner 1 can be considered to have the trend of temperature-reaching shutdown, the target superheat degree of the evaporator 201 is increased through setting, and the electronic expansion valve 203 is subjected to fuzzy control according to the increased target superheat degree, so that the electronic expansion valve 203 is continuously closed, the flow of a refrigerant is further reduced, the output of refrigerating capacity is controlled to be reduced, the air conditioner 1 is enabled to work at relatively small refrigerating capacity, and frequent startup and shutdown is avoided.
