An air conditioning system generally includes a compressor, a gas-liquid separator, a four-way valve, an outdoor heat exchanger, a heating throttle device, a cooling throttle device, and an indoor heat exchanger, which form a refrigerant circulation circuit. The four-way valve is provided with four connecting ports, namely a first connecting port, a second connecting port, a third connecting port and a fourth connecting port. Under the action of the internal switching device of the four-way valve, the first connecting port is selectively communicated with one of the second connecting port and the fourth connecting port, and the third connecting port is selectively communicated with the other one of the second connecting port and the fourth connecting port. The air suction end of the compressor is connected with the outlet end of the gas-liquid separator, the inlet end of the gas-liquid separator is connected with the first connecting port, the exhaust end of the compressor is connected with the third connecting port, the outdoor heat exchanger is connected with the second connecting port, and the indoor heat exchanger is connected with the fourth connecting port. The heating throttling device is arranged between the outdoor heat exchanger and the refrigerating throttling device and used for carrying out pressure reduction and throttling treatment on the refrigerant entering the outdoor heat exchanger (the throttling and pressure reduction effect is mainly achieved in the heating mode), and the refrigerating throttling device is arranged between the heating throttling device and the indoor heat exchanger and used for carrying out pressure reduction and throttling treatment on the refrigerant entering the indoor heat exchanger and outputting (the throttling and pressure reduction effect is mainly achieved in the refrigerating mode).
In the heating mode, the first connecting port is communicated with the fourth connecting port, the third connecting port is communicated with the second connecting port, and high-temperature gaseous refrigerant generated by the compressor sequentially flows through the indoor heat exchanger, the refrigerating throttling device, the heating throttling device, the outdoor heat exchanger and the gas-liquid separator to return into the compressor. In a refrigeration mode, the first connecting port is communicated with the third connecting port, the third connecting port is communicated with the fourth connecting port, and high-temperature gaseous refrigerant generated by the compressor is discharged through the exhaust end of the compressor and then sequentially returns to the compressor through the outdoor heat exchanger, the heating throttling device, the refrigeration throttling device, the indoor heat exchanger and the gas-liquid separator.
Generally, an outdoor unit of an air conditioning system is configured by a compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger, a heating throttle device, a gas-liquid separator, a four-way valve, and the like, and an indoor unit of the air conditioning system is configured by an indoor heat exchanger, a cooling throttle device, and the like. Generally, the outdoor unit is installed outdoors (naturally, not limited to outdoors), and the indoor unit is installed indoors (naturally, not limited to indoors).
This application is to the problem that the compressor easily inhales among the current air conditioning system and takes liquid to cause the liquid to hit, provides an outdoor unit at first. The outdoor unit provided by the present application will be described in detail below.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in an embodiment of the present invention, an outdoor unit 01 is provided, which includes a compressor 2, a gas-liquid separator 1, a four-way valve 3, an outdoor heat exchanger 4, a heating throttling device 5, a liquid storage tank 10, a liquid storage inlet valve 11, a liquid storage outlet valve, and a liquid storage throttling element. The compressor 2, the gas-liquid separator 1, the four-way valve 3, the outdoor heat exchanger 4, the heating throttling device 5 and the indoor unit 02 form a refrigerant circulation loop. The liquid storage tank 10 is provided with a liquid storage inlet a and a liquid storage outlet, the liquid storage inlet a is connected between the outdoor heat exchanger 4 and the heating throttling device 5 through a liquid storage inlet valve 11, and the liquid storage throttling element is connected with one end of the liquid storage outlet and one end of the liquid storage outlet valve. And in the heating mode, the other end of the liquid storage outlet valve is connected with the inlet end of the gas-liquid separator 1, and the liquid storage outlet and the gas-liquid separator 1 are communicated or cut off.
In the outdoor unit 01, in the heating mode, the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is conducted with the gas-liquid separator 1, the high-temperature gaseous refrigerant generated by the compressor 2 releases heat through the indoor unit 02, and then the refrigerant is changed into a liquid state or a gas-liquid mixed state, the liquid refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat in the outdoor heat exchanger 4 of the outdoor unit 01, and then the liquid refrigerant is changed into the gaseous refrigerant, enters the gas-liquid separator 1, and then returns to the compressor 2, so that a refrigerant cycle is completed. When the refrigerant in the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is not completely evaporated, the refrigerant is in a gas-liquid mixed state, and the refrigerant in the gas-liquid mixed state enters the gas-liquid separator 1, so that the content of the liquid refrigerant stored in the gas-liquid separator 1 is increased.
In actual operation, in the heating mode, referring to fig. 3, the heating throttle device 5 is always in an open state. Referring to fig. 4 and 5, when the refrigerant in the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is not completely evaporated, the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the liquid storage outlet valve are opened. The refrigerant entering the heating throttling device 5 is divided into two paths, one path enters the outdoor heat exchanger 4, is changed into a gaseous refrigerant by evaporation and heat absorption and enters the gas-liquid separator 1, and the other path enters the liquid storage tank 10 through the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the liquid storage inlet a. A part of refrigerant is stored in the liquid storage tank 10, and a part of refrigerant enters the gas-liquid separator 1 after passing through a liquid storage outlet, a liquid storage outlet valve and a liquid storage throttling piece. Because part of the liquid refrigerant enters the liquid storage tank 10 and is stored, the content of the liquid refrigerant entering the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is reduced, and the liquid refrigerant in the outdoor heat exchanger 4 can be basically and completely evaporated into the gaseous refrigerant. Therefore, the content of the liquid refrigerant in the refrigerant entering the gas-liquid separator 1 is reduced, the liquid storage amount in the gas-liquid separator 1 is reduced, and the liquid impact problem caused by the liquid suction and carrying of the compressor 2 due to the overlarge liquid storage amount in the gas-liquid separator 1 is avoided.
Fig. 3 is a diagram illustrating an initial state of the air conditioning system in the heating mode. The heating initial state means that the air conditioning system just starts to enter a heating mode or the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is in a complete evaporation state.
It can be understood that, in the heating mode of the outdoor unit 01, when the refrigerant can be completely evaporated in the outdoor heat exchanger 4, the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the liquid storage outlet valve are in a closed state. In addition, the liquid storage throttling element is used for carrying out pressure reduction treatment on the medium-pressure refrigerant discharged from the liquid storage tank 10, so that the refrigerant entering the gas-liquid separator 1 is the low-pressure refrigerant.
Wherein, the liquid storage throttling element can be a throttling orifice plate, a Venturi tube, a capillary tube and the like, and is not limited specifically.
In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 2, the reservoir outlet comprises a second reservoir outlet d, the reservoir throttle comprises a second reservoir throttle 16, and the reservoir outlet valve comprises a second reservoir outlet valve 17. The second liquid storage outlet d is located at the top of the liquid storage tank 10, the second liquid storage throttling piece 16 is connected with one ends of the second liquid storage outlet d and the second liquid storage outlet valve 17, and the other end of the second liquid storage outlet valve 17 is connected with the inlet end of the gas-liquid separator 1.
In this embodiment, referring to fig. 5, when the refrigerant in the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is not completely evaporated, the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the second liquid storage outlet valve 17 are opened. The refrigerant flowing out through the heating throttling device 5 is divided into two paths, one path of the refrigerant enters the outdoor heat exchanger 4, is changed into a gaseous refrigerant through evaporation and heat absorption and enters the gas-liquid separator 1, the other path of the refrigerant enters the liquid storage tank 10 through the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the liquid storage inlet a, the liquid refrigerant can be completely stored in the liquid storage tank 10, and the gaseous refrigerant directly enters the gas-liquid separator 1 through the second liquid storage outlet d and the second liquid storage outlet valve 17. So, greatly reduced the stock solution volume that gets into in the vapour and liquid separator 1, to avoiding arousing the liquid problem of hitting that the compressor 2 takes liquid to cause because of the stock solution volume is too big in the vapour and liquid separator 1 and have showing the effect.
In another embodiment, referring to fig. 1, the liquid storage outlet includes a first liquid storage outlet c, the liquid storage throttle includes a first liquid storage throttle 15, the liquid storage outlet includes a first liquid storage outlet valve 12, the first liquid storage outlet c is located at the bottom of the liquid storage tank 10, the first liquid storage throttle 15 is connected to the first liquid storage outlet c and one end of the first liquid storage outlet valve 12, and the other end of the first liquid storage outlet valve 12 is connected to a pipeline between the outdoor heat exchanger 4 and the four-way valve 3.
In this embodiment, referring to fig. 4, when the refrigerant in the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is incompletely evaporated, the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the first liquid storage outlet valve 12 are opened. The refrigerant entering the outdoor unit 01 is divided into two paths, one path enters the outdoor heat exchanger 4, is changed into a gaseous refrigerant by evaporation and heat absorption and enters the gas-liquid separator 1, the other path enters the liquid storage tank 10 through the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the liquid storage inlet a, a part of the refrigerant is stored in the liquid storage tank 10 along with the continuous entering of the refrigerant, and a part of the refrigerant enters the gas-liquid separator 1 through the first liquid storage outlet c and the first liquid storage outlet valve 12 and then enters the four-way valve 3. So for reduce the refrigerant content that gets into in vapour and liquid separator 1, and then avoided the stock solution volume in enterprise separator 1, and then avoided because of the too big liquid impact problem that arouses compressor 2 and take liquid to cause of stock solution volume in vapour and liquid separator 1.
Understandably, in the process of storing the refrigerant in the liquid storage tank 10, since the liquid refrigerant at the top of the liquid storage tank 10, which is located at the second liquid storage outlet d, is basically and completely stored in the liquid storage tank 10, the liquid refrigerant at the bottom of the liquid storage tank 10, which is located at the first liquid storage outlet c, flows back to the gas-liquid separator 1 through the first liquid storage outlet c, and the external refrigerant discharged from the second liquid storage outlet d is utilized to be more favorable for the storage of the liquid refrigerant in the liquid storage tank 10 than the external refrigerant discharged from the first liquid storage outlet c.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 2, the reservoir outlet comprises both said first reservoir outlet c and said second reservoir outlet d, and the reservoir outlet valve comprises both said first reservoir outlet valve 12 and said second reservoir outlet valve 17. In the heating mode, when the refrigerant in the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is not completely evaporated, the liquid refrigerant in the liquid storage tank 10 can be stored by opening the first liquid storage outlet valve 12 and/or the second liquid storage outlet valve 17 to reduce the amount of the liquid refrigerant stored in the gas-liquid separator 1.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 1 and 2, the outdoor unit 01 further includes a pressurization valve 14, the liquid storage tank 10 further has a pressurization port b, the pressurization port b is located at the top of the liquid storage tank 10, and the pressurization valve 14 is connected to the pressurization port b and the discharge end of the compressor 2.
In the multi-split air conditioning system, due to the unfixed matching of the outdoor unit 01 and the indoor unit 02 and the influence of engineering installation factors, the requirements of refrigerants participating in the circulation of the air conditioning system are inconsistent. In the present embodiment, in the heating mode, when the amount of refrigerant participating in heating of the air conditioning system is insufficient, the refrigerant stored in the liquid storage tank 10 is discharged into the refrigerant circulation circuit for use by the air conditioning system.
Specifically, referring to fig. 6, the reservoir inlet valve 11 is closed and the first reservoir outlet valve 12 and pressurizing valve 14 are opened. At this time, all the refrigerant entering the outdoor unit 01 enters the outdoor heat exchanger 4, passes through the four-way valve 3, and then enters the gas-liquid separator 1. Meanwhile, the liquid storage tank 10 is communicated with the exhaust end of the compressor 2 through the pressure valve 14, part of high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged by the compressor 2 enters the liquid storage tank 10 through the pressure valve 14, when the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant enters the liquid storage tank 10, low-temperature liquid refrigerant stored in the liquid storage tank 10 is heated and evaporated, and liquid discharge pressure is supplemented to enable the refrigerant in the liquid storage tank 10 to flow out through the first liquid storage outlet c and then enter the gas-liquid separator 1 through the first liquid storage outlet valve 12, so that the air suction amount of the air suction end of the compressor 2 is increased, the refrigerant content participating in circulation of an air conditioning system is increased, and the heating effect of the air conditioning system is improved.
In the heating mode, after the pressurization valve 14 is opened, the first liquid storage outlet valve 12 is opened, and the second liquid storage outlet valve 17 is also opened at the same time, so that the gaseous refrigerant in the liquid storage tank 10 can be discharged to the gas-liquid separator 1 through the second liquid storage outlet d.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 1, the outdoor unit 01 further includes a liquid discharge valve 13, one end of the liquid discharge valve 13 is connected to a side of the heating throttle device 5 facing away from the outdoor heat exchanger 4, and the other end of the liquid discharge valve 13 is connected to a pipeline between the first liquid storage outlet c and the first liquid storage outlet 12.
When the air conditioning system is in a refrigeration mode, the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is not communicated with the gas-liquid separator 1, the gas-liquid separator 1 is communicated with the indoor unit 02, a high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant generated by the compressor 2 passes through the heat radiator of the outdoor heat exchanger 4, then becomes a liquid state or a gas-liquid mixed state, evaporates and absorbs heat in the indoor heat exchanger 9 of the indoor unit 02, turns into a gas state refrigerant, then enters the gas-liquid separator 1, and then returns to the compressor 2, so that a refrigerant cycle is completed. Generally, the refrigerant content required by the air conditioning system in the cooling mode is lower than the refrigerant content required by the air conditioning system in the heating mode. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the amount of refrigerant involved in cooling.
In this embodiment, in actual operation, when the air conditioning system enters the cooling mode, the reservoir inlet valve 11 and the drain valve 13 are opened, and the heating throttle device 5, the pressurizing valve 14, and the reservoir outlet valve (including the first reservoir outlet valve 12 and the second reservoir outlet valve 17, both of which are closed), are closed, see fig. 7. At this time, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged by the compressor 2 sequentially passes through the outdoor heat exchanger 4, the liquid storage inlet valve 11, the liquid storage tank 10 and the liquid discharge valve 13 and then enters the indoor unit 02, then enters the gas-liquid separator 1 from the indoor unit 02, and finally returns to the compressor 2. When the refrigerant enters the liquid storage tank 10, part of liquid refrigerant is stored in the liquid storage tank 10, so that the refrigerant quantity flowing through the indoor heat exchanger 9 is reduced, the refrigerant content participating in the refrigeration of the air conditioning system is reduced, the liquid refrigerant entering the gas-liquid separator 1 and causing the liquid storage quantity in the gas-liquid separator 1 due to incomplete evaporation of excessive refrigerant in the indoor heat exchanger 9 is avoided, and the probability of liquid impact caused by liquid absorption of the compressor 2 is reduced.
In the cooling mode, when the amount of refrigerant circulating in the air conditioning system is insufficient, a certain amount of refrigerant is discharged from the liquid storage tank 10 to circulate in the air conditioning system, so as to improve the cooling effect.
Specifically, referring to fig. 8, the reservoir inlet valve 11 and the reservoir outlet valve (including the first reservoir outlet valve 12 and the second reservoir outlet valve 17) are closed, and the heating throttle device 5, the drain valve 13 and the pressurizing valve 14 are opened. At this time, the pressurizing valve 14 communicates the pressurizing port b with the compressor 2. The refrigerant flowing out of the outdoor heat exchanger 4 enters the indoor unit 02 through the heating throttling device 5, and the refrigerant stored in the liquid storage tank 10 is discharged from the liquid storage tank 10 under the action of the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged from the compressor 2, passes through the liquid discharge valve 13, and then joins the refrigerant flowing out of the heating throttling device 5 to flow into the indoor unit 02. Therefore, the content of refrigerant participating in refrigeration in the indoor unit 02 is increased, and the refrigeration effect is improved.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 1 and 2, the outdoor unit 01 further includes a supercooling heat exchanger 7 and a cooling throttling element 6, the supercooling heat exchanger 7 includes a first flow passage and a second flow passage which are independent of each other, one end of the first flow passage is used for connecting the indoor unit 02 and particularly connecting one end of the cooling throttling element 8 of the indoor unit 02, which is away from the indoor heat exchanger 9, the other end of the first flow passage is connected in parallel with the cooling throttling element 6 to the heating throttling device 5, the drain valve 13 is located between the heating throttling device 5 and the parallel connection of the first flow passage and the cooling throttling element 6, one end of the second flow passage is connected to one end of the cooling throttling element 6, which is away from the heating throttling device 5, and the other end of the second flow passage is connected to the inlet end of the gas-liquid separator 1. In actual operation, a part of liquid refrigerant generated by the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is introduced into the cold throttling element 6 through the supercooling heat exchanger 7 and the cold throttling element 6 and then enters the second flow channel, the other part of liquid refrigerant enters the first flow channel and then enters the indoor unit 02, the refrigerant entering the cold throttling element 6 is throttled and depressurized by the cold throttling element 6 and then subcools the refrigerant in the first flow channel in the second flow channel, and the supercooling method is favorable for improving the supercooling amount of the whole air conditioning system.
In the heating mode, the outdoor heat exchanger 4 has two operating states, i.e., a complete evaporation state and an incomplete evaporation state. In the evaporation complete state, the refrigerant in the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is completely evaporated, otherwise, the refrigerant is not completely evaporated. The air conditioning system needs to judge whether the refrigerant in the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is completely evaporated, and controls the liquid storage tank 10 to store liquid according to the result so as to adjust the liquid storage amount in the liquid-gas separator 1.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 9, the outdoor unit 01 further includes a first temperature sensor 19 and a first pressure sensor 20, the first temperature sensor 19 is disposed at one end of the outdoor heat exchanger 4 near the four-way valve 3, and the first pressure sensor 20 is disposed at a suction end of the compressor 2.
The first temperature sensor 19 is configured to detect a temperature of a refrigerant outflow side of the outdoor heat exchanger 4 in the heating mode, and the first pressure sensor 20 is configured to detect a temperature of a suction side of the compressor 2.
In the present embodiment, the air conditioning system determines the operating state of the outdoor heat exchanger 4 by determining the magnitude relationship between the saturation temperature value corresponding to the detection value of the first temperature sensor 19 and the detection value of the first pressure sensor 20. When the detection value of the first temperature sensor 19 is greater than the saturation temperature value corresponding to the detection value of the first pressure sensor 20, the air conditioning system determines that the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is in a complete evaporation state, and at this time, the liquid storage tank 10 does not need to be controlled to store liquid, that is, the states of closing both the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the liquid storage outlet valve are kept. On the contrary, when the detection value of the first temperature sensor 19 is less than or equal to the saturation temperature value corresponding to the detection value of the first pressure sensor 20, the air conditioning system determines that the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is in an incomplete evaporation state, and at this time, the liquid storage tank 10 needs to be controlled to store liquid, and the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the liquid storage outlet valve are both controlled to be opened.
In other embodiments, referring to fig. 9, the outdoor unit 01 further includes a second temperature sensor 21 and a third temperature sensor 22, the second temperature sensor 21 is disposed at the outlet end of the gas-liquid separator 1, and the third temperature sensor 22 is disposed at the inlet end of the gas-liquid separator 1.
Wherein the second temperature sensor 21 is used for detecting the temperature at the outlet end of the gas-liquid separator 1, and the third temperature sensor 22 is used for detecting the temperature at the inlet end of the gas-liquid separator 1.
In the present embodiment, the air conditioning system determines the operating state of the outdoor heat exchanger 4 by the detection value of the second temperature sensor 21 and the detection value of the third temperature sensor 22. When the difference value between the detection value of the second temperature sensor 21 and the detection value of the third temperature sensor 22 is greater than the first threshold value, the air conditioning system judges that the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is in a complete evaporation state, and at the moment, the liquid storage tank 10 does not need to be controlled to store liquid, namely, the states that the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the liquid storage outlet valve are both closed are maintained. When the difference value between the detection value of the second temperature sensor 21 and the detection value of the third temperature sensor 22 is smaller than or equal to the first threshold value, the air conditioning system judges that the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is in an incomplete evaporation state, and at the moment, the liquid storage tank 10 needs to be controlled to store liquid, and the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the liquid storage outlet valve are controlled to be opened.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 9, the outdoor unit 01 further includes a second pressure sensor 23 and a fourth temperature sensor 24, and includes a liquid level sensor 25 or a fifth temperature sensor 26. The second pressure sensor 23 is disposed at the exhaust end of the compressor 2, the fourth temperature sensor 24 is used for detecting the outdoor ambient temperature, the liquid level sensor 25 is disposed in the liquid storage tank 10, and the fifth temperature sensor 26 is disposed at the bottom of the liquid storage tank 10. Here, the outdoor environment refers to an environment in which the outdoor unit 01 is located. The specific installation manner of the fourth temperature sensor 2 is not limited as long as it can detect the external environment temperature of the outdoor unit 01, and for example, the fourth temperature sensor 24 is installed outside the outdoor unit 01.
The liquid level sensor 25 is used for detecting the liquid level in the liquid storage tank 10, the second pressure sensor 23 is used for detecting the pressure at the exhaust side of the compressor 2, and the fifth temperature sensor 26 is used for detecting the temperature at the bottom of the liquid storage tank 10.
In the heating mode, when the outdoor evaporator 4 is in the evaporation complete state, both the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the liquid storage outlet valve are closed. The air conditioning system also needs to judge whether the amount of the self-circulation refrigerant is enough according to the working condition so as to determine whether the self-circulation refrigerant meets the heating and liquid drainage condition. When the condition that the refrigerant self meets the heating and liquid discharging condition is judged, the insufficient amount of the circulating refrigerant of the air conditioning system is indicated, the pressure valve 14 and the first liquid storage outlet valve 12 are opened, the refrigerant in the liquid storage tank 10 is evaporated by the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant generated by the compressor 2 and is pushed out to the gas-liquid separator 1 through the first liquid storage outlet c, and the content of the circulating refrigerant is further increased. When the air conditioner does not meet the heating and liquid discharging conditions, the air conditioner system is indicated to be sufficient in circulating refrigerant consumption, and the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the liquid storage outlet valve are kept closed.
In the heating mode, after the pressurization valve 14 is opened, the second reservoir outlet valve 17 may be opened in addition to the first reservoir outlet valve 12, so that the gas refrigerant in the reservoir tank 10 may be discharged to the gas-liquid separator 1 through the second reservoir outlet d.
In the present embodiment, the air conditioning system determines whether it satisfies the heating and liquid discharging condition according to the saturation temperature value corresponding to the detection of the second pressure sensor 23, the detection value of the fourth temperature sensor 24, and the detection value of the liquid level sensor 25 or the detection value of the fifth temperature sensor 26. Specifically, when the difference between the saturation temperature value corresponding to the detection value of the second pressure sensor 23 and the detection value of the fourth temperature sensor 24 is smaller than the third threshold, and the detection value of the liquid level sensor 25 is larger than the second threshold, or the difference between the detection value of the fifth temperature sensor 26 and the detection value of the fourth temperature sensor 24 is smaller than the fourth threshold, the air conditioning system determines that the heating and liquid draining condition is satisfied, otherwise, the air conditioning system does not satisfy the heating and liquid draining condition.
In the cooling mode, the air conditioning system may determine whether or not it satisfies the cooling and liquid draining conditions based on the opening degree values of the liquid level sensor 25, the fifth temperature sensor 26, the fourth temperature sensor 24, the heating and air-conditioning throttling device 5, the temperature difference value of the inlet and outlet pipes of the indoor heat exchanger 9, and the opening degree value of the cooling and air-conditioning device 8. Specifically, when the opening value of the heating throttling device 5 is greater than a fifth threshold, the temperature difference value of the inlet and outlet pipes of the indoor heat exchanger 9 is greater than a sixth threshold, and the opening value of the cooling throttling device 8 is greater than a seventh threshold, and the detection value of the liquid level sensor 25 is greater than a second threshold or the difference value between the detection value of the fifth temperature sensor 26 and the detection value of the fourth temperature sensor 24 is less than a fourth threshold, the air conditioning system determines that the air conditioning system satisfies the cooling liquid drainage condition, otherwise, the air conditioning system does not satisfy the cooling liquid drainage condition.

When the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is in the complete evaporation state, the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the first liquid storage outlet valve 12 are opened until the outdoor heat exchanger 4 returns to the complete evaporation state, and the liquid storage inlet valve and the first liquid storage outlet valve are closed, so that the liquid storage tank 10 stores liquid. And judging whether the air conditioning system meets heating liquid drainage conditions or not when the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is in a complete evaporation state, and if so, opening the first liquid storage outlet valve 12 and the pressurizing valve 14 to discharge the refrigerant in the liquid storage tank 10 into a refrigerant circulation loop.

In the initial flow path control in the heating mode, the heating throttle device 5 is opened, and the liquid storage inlet valve 11, the liquid storage outlet valve, the pressurizing valve 14, and the liquid discharge valve 13 are all closed. When the heating mode liquid storage pipe stores the control flow path, the heating throttling device 5, the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the liquid storage outlet valve are opened, and the pressurizing valve 14 and the liquid discharge valve 13 are closed. When the heating mode liquid storage tank liquid drainage control flow path is heated, the heating throttling device 5, the pressurizing valve 14 and the liquid storage outlet valve are opened, and the liquid storage inlet valve 11 is closed. When the refrigerating mode liquid storage tank stores the control flow path, the heating throttling device 5, the liquid storage outlet valve and the pressurizing valve 14 are closed, and the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the liquid discharge valve 13 are opened.

The outdoor unit 01 provided in the embodiment of the application can reduce the liquid storage amount in the gas-liquid separator 1 in the heating mode, and avoids the liquid impact problem caused by the liquid suction of the compressor 2 due to the overlarge liquid storage amount in the gas-liquid separator 1. Meanwhile, through the liquid discharge control of the liquid storage tank 10, the circulating refrigerant quantity of the system during heating is increased, and the problem of poor heating capacity caused by insufficient refrigerant circulation is solved. In addition, when the refrigeration operation, utilize the liquid storage pot 10 to deposit liquid, the refrigerant demand under the different operating modes of effect adjustment, solve on the one hand and heat the unmatched problem of refrigeration refrigerant, on the other hand adjusts refrigerant demand under the different operating modes, improves refrigeration effect.
In addition, the embodiment of the present application further provides an air conditioning system, which includes a compressor 2, a gas-liquid separator 1, a four-way valve 3, an outdoor heat exchanger 4, a heating throttling device 5, a refrigerating throttling device 8, an indoor heat exchanger 9, a liquid storage tank 10, a liquid storage inlet valve 11, a liquid storage outlet valve, and a liquid storage throttling element, which form a refrigerant circulation loop.

In the heating mode, the other end of the liquid storage outlet valve is connected with the inlet end of the gas-liquid separator 1, and the liquid storage outlet and the gas-liquid separator 1 are switched on or off.
In the air conditioning system, in the actual operation, the heating throttle device 5 is always in the open state in the heating mode. When the refrigerant in the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is not completely evaporated, the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the liquid storage outlet valve are opened. The refrigerant entering the heating throttling device 5 is divided into two paths, one path enters the outdoor heat exchanger 4, is changed into a gaseous refrigerant by evaporation and heat absorption and enters the gas-liquid separator 1, and the other path enters the liquid storage tank 10 through the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the liquid storage inlet a. A part of refrigerant is stored in the liquid storage tank 10, and a part of refrigerant enters the gas-liquid separator 1 after passing through a liquid storage outlet, a liquid storage outlet valve and a liquid storage throttling piece. Because part of the liquid refrigerant enters the liquid storage tank 10 and is stored, the content of the liquid refrigerant entering the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is reduced, and the liquid refrigerant in the outdoor heat exchanger 4 can be basically and completely evaporated into the gaseous refrigerant. Therefore, the content of the liquid refrigerant in the refrigerant entering the gas-liquid separator 1 is reduced, the liquid storage amount in the gas-liquid separator 1 is reduced, and the problem of liquid impact caused by air suction and liquid carrying of the compressor 2 due to the fact that the liquid storage amount in the gas-liquid separator 1 is too large is avoided.

The compressor 2, the gas-liquid separator 1, the four-way valve 3, the outdoor heat exchanger 4, the heating throttling device 5, the refrigerating throttling device 8 and the indoor heat exchanger 9 form a refrigerant circulation loop. Liquid storage pot 10 has stock solution import an and stock solution export, and stock solution import a passes through stock solution import valve 11 to be connected in outdoor heat exchanger 4 and heat between the throttling arrangement 5, and stock solution throttling element connects the one end of stock solution export and stock solution outlet valve. In the heating mode, the other end of the liquid storage outlet valve is connected with the inlet end of the gas-liquid separator 1, and the liquid storage outlet and the gas-liquid separator 1 are switched on or off.
When the air conditioning system is in the heating mode, the heating throttling device 5 is firstly started, all the valve pieces are closed, and the refrigerant circulation loop is conducted, so that the air conditioning system is in the heating initial state. Then, the operating state of the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is detected. The outdoor heat exchanger 4 has two operating states, i.e., a complete evaporation state and an incomplete evaporation state. In the evaporation complete state, the refrigerant in the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is completely evaporated, otherwise, the refrigerant is not completely evaporated. The air conditioning system needs to judge whether the refrigerant in the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is completely evaporated, and controls the liquid storage tank 10 to store liquid according to the result so as to adjust the amount of the liquid stored in the gas-liquid separator 1.
When the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is in the evaporation complete state, the heating throttling device 5 is kept open, and the valves are kept closed. When the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is in an incomplete evaporation state, the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the liquid storage outlet valve are opened, so that the refrigerant entering the heating throttling device 5 is divided into two paths, one path enters the outdoor heat exchanger 4, is changed into a gaseous refrigerant through evaporation and heat absorption, enters the gas-liquid separator 1, and the other path enters the liquid storage tank 10 through the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the liquid storage inlet a. A part of refrigerant is stored in the liquid storage tank 10, and a part of refrigerant enters the gas-liquid separator 1 after passing through a liquid storage outlet, a liquid storage outlet valve and a liquid storage throttling piece. Because part of the liquid refrigerant enters the liquid storage tank 10 and is stored, the content of the liquid refrigerant entering the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is reduced, and the liquid refrigerant in the outdoor heat exchanger 4 can be basically and completely evaporated into the gaseous refrigerant. Therefore, the content of the liquid refrigerant in the refrigerant entering the gas-liquid separator 1 is reduced, the liquid storage amount in the gas-liquid separator 1 is reduced, and the liquid impact problem caused by the liquid suction and carrying of the compressor 2 due to the overlarge liquid storage amount in the gas-liquid separator 1 is avoided.

Or the second liquid storage outlet valve 17 may be opened to allow the refrigerant to enter the liquid storage tank 10 through the liquid storage inlet valve 11 to store the liquid refrigerant, and then the gaseous refrigerant directly enters the gas-liquid separator 1 through the second liquid storage outlet d. It is also possible that both the first reservoir outlet valve 12 and the second reservoir outlet valve 17 are open. It is understood that when the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is in the evaporation complete state, only one of the liquid storage outlet valves needs to be closed when the outdoor unit 01 includes only the first liquid storage outlet valve 12 or the second liquid storage outlet valve 17, and both of the liquid storage outlet valves need to be closed when the outdoor unit 01 includes the first liquid storage outlet valve 12 and the second liquid storage outlet valve 17.
In the specific embodiment, the air conditioning system further includes a first temperature sensor 19 and a first pressure sensor 20, the first temperature sensor 19 is disposed at one end of the outdoor heat exchanger 4 close to the four-way valve 3, and the first pressure sensor 20 is disposed at a suction end of the compressor 2. The first temperature sensor 19 is configured to detect a temperature of a refrigerant outflow side of the outdoor heat exchanger 4 in the heating mode, and the first pressure sensor 20 is configured to detect a temperature of a suction side of the compressor 2.
In this case, step S1 specifically includes:
s11, obtaining detection values of the first temperature sensor 19 and the first pressure sensor 20, and determining whether the detection value of the first temperature sensor 19 is greater than a saturation temperature value corresponding to the detection value of the first pressure sensor 20;
s12, if yes, judging that the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is in a complete evaporation state;
and S13, if not, judging that the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is in an incomplete evaporation state.
In the present embodiment, the operating state of the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is determined by determining the magnitude relationship between the saturation temperature values corresponding to the detection values of the first temperature sensor 19 and the first pressure sensor 20. When the detection value of the first temperature sensor 19 is greater than the saturation temperature value corresponding to the detection value of the first pressure sensor 20, it is determined that the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is in a complete evaporation state, and at this time, the liquid storage tank 10 does not need to be controlled to store liquid, that is, the states of closing both the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the liquid storage outlet valve are maintained. On the contrary, when the detection value of the first temperature sensor 19 is less than or equal to the saturation temperature value corresponding to the detection value of the first pressure sensor 20, the air conditioning system determines that the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is in an incomplete evaporation state, and at this time, the liquid storage tank 10 needs to be controlled to store liquid, and the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the liquid storage outlet valve are both controlled to be opened.
In another embodiment, the air conditioning system further includes a second temperature sensor 21 and a third temperature sensor 22, the second temperature sensor 21 is disposed at the outlet end of the gas-liquid separator 1, and the third temperature sensor 22 is disposed at the inlet end of the gas-liquid separator 1. Wherein the second temperature sensor 21 is used for detecting the temperature at the outlet end of the gas-liquid separator 1, and the third temperature sensor 22 is used for detecting the temperature at the inlet end of the gas-liquid separator 1.
In this case, step S1 specifically includes:
s11', obtaining the detection values of the second temperature sensor 21 and the third temperature sensor 22, and determining whether the difference between the detection value of the second temperature sensor 21 and the detection value of the third temperature sensor 22 is greater than a first threshold;
s12', if yes, judging that the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is in a complete evaporation state;
s13', if not, it is determined that the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is in an incomplete evaporation state.
In the present embodiment, the operating state of the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is determined by the detection value of the second temperature sensor 21 and the detection value of the third temperature sensor 22. When the difference value between the detection value of the second temperature sensor 21 and the detection value of the third temperature sensor 22 is greater than the first threshold value, it is determined that the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is in a complete evaporation state, and it is not necessary to control the liquid storage tank 10 to store liquid at this time, that is, the states of closing both the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the liquid storage outlet valve are maintained. When the difference value between the detection value of the second temperature sensor 21 and the detection value of the third temperature sensor 22 is smaller than or equal to the first threshold value, the air conditioning system judges that the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is in an incomplete evaporation state, and at the moment, the liquid storage tank 10 needs to be controlled to store liquid, and the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the liquid storage outlet valve are controlled to be opened.
In some embodiments, after step S3, the method further includes:
s4, judging whether the air conditioning system meets a heating liquid drainage condition in the heating mode, wherein the heating liquid drainage condition is used for indicating that the air conditioning system is insufficient in refrigerant participating in heating;
s5, if yes, opening the pressurizing valve 14 and the first liquid storage outlet valve 12;

After the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is in a complete evaporation state, whether the amount of the circulating refrigerant of the air conditioning system is enough or not needs to be judged according to the working condition so as to determine whether the air conditioning system meets the heating and liquid drainage condition or not. When the air conditioning system is judged to meet the heating and liquid drainage conditions, and the using amount of the circulating refrigerant of the air conditioning system is insufficient, the pressure valve 14 and the first liquid storage outlet valve 12 are opened, the refrigerant in the liquid storage tank 10 is evaporated and pushed out to the gas-liquid separator 1 by using the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant generated by the compressor 2, and the content of the circulating refrigerant is further increased. When the air-conditioning system is judged not to meet the heating and liquid discharging conditions, the air-conditioning system is indicated to have enough circulating refrigerant consumption, and the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the liquid storage outlet valve are kept closed. Therefore, the content of the circulating refrigerant can be adjusted in time, and the heating effect is ensured.
In the heating mode, after the pressurization valve 14 is opened, the second reservoir outlet valve 17 may be opened in addition to the first reservoir outlet valve 12, so that the gas refrigerant in the reservoir tank 10 may be discharged to the gas-liquid separator 1 through the second reservoir outlet d.
In an embodiment, step S4 specifically includes:
s41, acquiring the detection value of the second pressure sensor 23 and the detection value of the fourth temperature sensor 24, and acquiring the detection value of the liquid level sensor 25 or the fifth temperature sensor 26;
s42, determining whether a difference between a saturation temperature value corresponding to the detection value of the second pressure sensor 23 and the detection value of the fourth temperature sensor 24 is smaller than a third threshold, and whether the detection value of the liquid level sensor 25 is larger than the second threshold or the difference between the detection value of the fifth temperature sensor 26 and the detection value of the fourth temperature sensor 24 is smaller than a fourth threshold;
s43, if yes, judging that the air conditioning system meets the heating liquid discharge condition;
and S44, if not, judging that the air conditioning system does not meet the heating liquid discharge condition.
In the present embodiment, the air conditioning system further includes a second pressure sensor 23 and a fourth temperature sensor 24, and includes a liquid level sensor 25 or a fifth temperature sensor 26. The second pressure sensor 23 is disposed at the discharge end of the compressor 2, the fourth temperature sensor 24 is used for detecting the outdoor temperature environment, the liquid level sensor 25 is disposed in the liquid storage tank 10, and the fifth temperature sensor 26 is disposed at the bottom of the liquid storage tank 10.
The liquid level sensor 25 is used for detecting the liquid level in the liquid storage tank 10, the second pressure sensor 23 is used for detecting the pressure at the exhaust side of the compressor 2, and the fifth temperature sensor 26 is used for detecting the temperature at the bottom of the liquid storage tank 10.
In the present embodiment, whether or not the liquid heater and the liquid discharge condition are satisfied is determined based on the saturation temperature value corresponding to the detection of the second pressure sensor 23, the detection value of the fourth temperature sensor 24, and the detection value of the liquid level sensor 25 or the detection value of the fifth temperature sensor 26. Specifically, when the difference between the saturation temperature value corresponding to the detection value of the second pressure sensor 23 and the detection value of the fourth temperature sensor 24 is smaller than the third threshold, and the detection value of the liquid level sensor 25 is larger than the second threshold, or the difference between the detection value of the fifth temperature sensor 26 and the detection value of the fourth temperature sensor 24 is smaller than the fourth threshold, the air conditioning system determines that the heating and liquid draining condition is satisfied, otherwise, the air conditioning system does not satisfy the heating and liquid draining condition.
In some embodiments, the control method of the air conditioning system further includes:
p1, in cooling mode, opening the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the liquid discharge valve 13, and closing the heating throttling device 5 and the liquid storage outlet valves 12 and 17.
In this embodiment, the air conditioning system further includes a liquid discharge valve 13, one end of the liquid discharge valve 13 is connected to a side of the heating and throttling device 5 away from the outdoor heat exchanger 4, and the other end of the liquid discharge valve 13 is connected to a pipeline between the first liquid storage outlet c and the first liquid storage outlet valve 12.
Generally, the refrigerant content required by the air conditioning system in the cooling mode is lower than the refrigerant content required by the air conditioning system in the heating mode. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the amount of refrigerant involved in cooling.
In this embodiment, when the air conditioning system enters the cooling mode, the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the liquid discharge valve 13 are opened, and the heating throttling device 5 and the liquid storage outlet valve are closed, and the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged by the compressor 2 sequentially passes through the outdoor heat exchanger 4, the liquid storage inlet valve 11, the liquid storage tank 10 and the liquid discharge valve 13, enters the indoor unit 02, then enters the gas-liquid separator 1 from the indoor unit 02, and finally returns to the compressor 2. When the refrigerant enters the liquid storage tank 10, part of liquid refrigerant is stored in the liquid storage tank 10, so that the refrigerant quantity flowing through the indoor heat exchanger 9 is reduced, the refrigerant content participating in the refrigeration of the air conditioning system is reduced, the liquid refrigerant entering the gas-liquid separator 1 and causing the liquid storage quantity in the gas-liquid separator 1 due to incomplete evaporation of excessive refrigerant in the indoor heat exchanger 9 is avoided, and the probability of liquid impact caused by liquid absorption of the compressor 2 is reduced.
Specifically, in an embodiment, after step P1, the method further includes:
p2, judging whether the air conditioning system meets a refrigeration liquid discharge condition, wherein the refrigeration liquid discharge condition is used for indicating that a refrigerant participating in refrigeration in the air conditioning system is insufficient;
p3, if yes, closing the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the liquid storage outlet valve, and opening the liquid discharge valve 13 and the heating throttling device 5.
In this embodiment, the amount of refrigerant used is different according to different conditions of the air conditioning system. After entering the refrigeration mode, the liquid storage tank 10 may store the refrigerant continuously, which may result in insufficient refrigerant usage in a certain working condition, thereby reducing the refrigeration effect. When the system meets the refrigeration and liquid drainage conditions, the insufficient amount of the circulating refrigerant is judged, and at the moment, the refrigerant in the liquid storage tank 10 needs to be utilized to increase the amount of the circulating refrigerant.
Specifically, the reservoir inlet valve 11 and the reservoir outlet valve (including the first reservoir outlet valve 12 and the second reservoir outlet valve 17) are closed, and the heating throttle device 5, the drain valve 13, and the pressurizing valve 14 are opened. At this time, the pressurizing valve 14 communicates the pressurizing port b with the compressor 2. The refrigerant flowing out of the outdoor heat exchanger 4 enters the indoor unit 02 through the heating and throttling device 5, and meanwhile, the refrigerant stored in the liquid storage tank 10 is discharged from the liquid storage tank 10 under the action of the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged from the compressor 2, and then flows into the indoor unit 02 after passing through the liquid discharge valve 13 and being merged with the refrigerant flowing out of the heating and throttling device 5. Therefore, the content of refrigerant participating in refrigeration in the indoor unit 02 is increased, and the refrigeration effect is improved.
Specifically, in the embodiment, step P2 specifically includes:
p21, acquiring the temperature difference value of the inlet and outlet pipes of the indoor heat exchanger 9, the opening value of the refrigeration throttling device 8 and the detection value of the fourth temperature sensor 24, and acquiring the detection value of the liquid level sensor 25 or the detection value of the fifth temperature sensor 26;
p22, judging whether the difference between the temperature of the inlet and outlet pipes of the indoor heat exchanger 9 is greater than a sixth threshold, the opening degree of the refrigeration throttling device 8 is greater than a seventh threshold, and the difference between the detection value of the liquid level sensor 25 and the second threshold or the detection value of the fifth temperature sensor 26 and the detection value of the fourth temperature sensor 24 is less than a fourth threshold;
and P23, if yes, judging that the air conditioning system meets the refrigeration liquid discharge condition.
In the embodiment, the condition that the air conditioning system meets the refrigeration liquid drainage condition comprises two conditions. In the first case, the opening degree of the heating throttle device 5 is greater than the fifth threshold, the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet pipes of the indoor heat exchanger 9 is greater than the sixth threshold, the opening degree of the cooling throttle device 8 is greater than the seventh threshold, and the detection value of the liquid level sensor 25 is greater than the second threshold. In another case, the opening degree value of the heating throttle device 5 is greater than the fifth threshold, the temperature difference value of the inlet/outlet pipe of the indoor heat exchanger 9 is greater than the sixth threshold, the opening degree value of the cooling throttle device 8 is greater than the seventh threshold, and the difference value between the detection value of the fifth temperature sensor 26 and the detection value of the fourth temperature sensor 24 is smaller than the fourth threshold.
When either of the two conditions is satisfied, it is determined that the air conditioning system satisfies the cooling liquid discharge condition, and step P3 is executed. If the air conditioner does not meet the refrigerating and liquid discharging conditions, the air conditioner system is judged to not meet the refrigerating and liquid discharging conditions, and all the parts keep the current state.
Further, the method also comprises the step of obtaining an opening value of the heating throttling device 5, and when the step P22 is not met and the opening value of the heating throttling device 5 is less than or equal to a fifth threshold value, it indicates that the refrigerant quantity of the air conditioning system is sufficient, and at this time, the method switches to a cooling and liquid storage state, namely, the heating throttling device 5 is closed, the liquid storage inlet valve 11 and the liquid discharge valve 13 are opened, and the heating throttling device 5 and the liquid storage outlet valve are closed.
