As shown in fig. 1 to 6 in combination, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a heat pump system includes a compressor including a master cylinder 1 and an auxiliary cylinder 2, an indoor heat exchanger 3, an outdoor heat exchanger 4, a flash tank 5, and a pressure adjusting device disposed between the indoor heat exchanger 3 and the outdoor heat exchanger 4, a liquid refrigerant outlet of the flash tank 5 and the indoor heat exchanger 3, a gaseous refrigerant outlet of the flash tank 5 being connected to an air suction port of the auxiliary cylinder 2, the pressure adjusting device being configured to adjust a refrigerant pressure difference across the pressure adjusting device under a cooling condition such that the refrigerant pressure difference across the pressure adjusting device is within a first preset range, or such that the refrigerant pressure difference across the pressure adjusting device is within a second preset range, wherein a minimum value of the second preset range is greater than a maximum value of the first preset range.
Wherein the indoor heat exchanger 3 and the outdoor heat exchanger 4 are both connected to the main cylinder 1 of the compressor, the flash vessel 5 is connected between the indoor heat exchanger 3 and the outdoor heat exchanger 4, and the gaseous refrigerant outlet of the flash vessel 5 is connected to the auxiliary cylinder 2 of the compressor.
When the heat pump system is in a refrigerating working condition, the pressure difference at two ends of the pressure regulating device can be regulated through the pressure regulating device, so that the refrigerant pressure in the flash tank 5 is in a low-pressure state which is the same as the refrigerant pressure in the indoor heat exchanger 3 when the heat pump system is operated under a low-pressure ratio working condition, and low-pressure air supplementing is realized; when the heat pump system operates under the working condition of high pressure ratio, the refrigerant pressure in the flash generator 5 is in an intermediate pressure state between the high pressure and the low pressure refrigerant pressure in the indoor heat exchanger 3, so that medium pressure air supplement is realized, and the conversion of the system air supplement mode under different working conditions can be realized through the pressure regulating device, so that the heat pump system can operate efficiently under different working conditions, the switching of the medium pressure air supplement and the low pressure air supplement of the compressor can be conveniently realized, the structure and the control system are simple, and the realization cost is lower.
In this embodiment, when the pressure difference between the refrigerant at both ends of the pressure adjusting device is within a first preset range, the refrigerant pressure at the gaseous refrigerant outlet of the flash evaporator 5 is low, when the pressure difference between the refrigerant at both ends of the pressure adjusting device is within a second preset range, the refrigerant pressure at the gaseous refrigerant outlet of the flash evaporator 5 is medium pressure, and when the refrigerant pressure is low, the refrigerant pressure at the gaseous refrigerant outlet of the flash evaporator 5 is equal to the refrigerant pressure in the indoor heat exchanger 3 or the pressure difference is within a smaller range; when the refrigerant pressure is medium pressure, the pressure difference between the refrigerant pressure of the gaseous refrigerant outlet of the flash evaporator 5 and the refrigerant pressure in the indoor heat exchanger 3 is in a larger range, so that the refrigerant pressure of the gaseous refrigerant outlet of the flash evaporator 5 is between the pressure of the low-pressure refrigerant in the indoor heat exchanger 3 and the pressure of the high-pressure refrigerant of the compressor exhaust port.
A first throttle valve 6 is provided between the outdoor heat exchanger 4 and the flash tank 5. The first throttle valve 6 is used for performing first throttling and depressurization on the refrigerant after heat release and condensation of the outdoor heat exchanger 4, and reducing the pressure of the refrigerant, so that the liquid refrigerant can be partially gasified, and enough gaseous refrigerant is generated in the flash evaporator 5, thereby meeting the air supplementing requirement of a heat pump system.
Preferably, a first control valve 7 is provided in the line between the gaseous refrigerant outlet of the flash tank 5 and the suction port of the auxiliary cylinder 2. The first control valve 7 is arranged on the air supplementing pipeline and can control the on-off of the air supplementing pipeline, so as to control whether the heat pump system supplements air or not. The first control valve 7 is not required to be arranged on the air supplementing pipeline, so that the air supplementing pipeline is always communicated with the gaseous refrigerant outlet of the flash evaporator 5 and the air suction port of the auxiliary cylinder 2, and the air supplementing operation of the compression cylinder is realized. The first control valve 7 is, for example, a shut-off valve, and may be another type of electromagnetic valve having an opening and closing function, or the like.
In this embodiment, the pressure regulating means comprises a second control valve 9 and a second throttle valve 8 connected in parallel.
The air suction port of the auxiliary cylinder 2 can be respectively connected with the medium-pressure air supply port or the low-pressure air supply port through the valve opening and closing combination adjustment of the second control valve 9 and the second throttle valve 8, so that the conversion of the system mode under different working conditions is realized, and the heat pump system can realize the efficient operation under different working conditions. Under the working condition of high pressure ratio, the air suction port of the auxiliary cylinder 2 is connected with the medium pressure air supplementing phase through valve opening and closing combination adjustment, and at the moment, the indoor heat exchanger 3 is connected with the flash generator 5 through the second throttle valve 8 to realize the medium pressure air supplementing phase; when the air conditioner operates under the working condition of low pressure ratio, the air suction port of the auxiliary cylinder 2 is connected with the low pressure air supplementing port through valve opening and closing combination adjustment, at the moment, the indoor heat exchanger 3 is directly connected with the flash evaporator 5 through a connecting pipeline, and the pressure in the flash evaporator 5 is the same as the pressure of the refrigerant in the indoor heat exchanger 3, so that low pressure air supplementing is realized.
Specifically, when the second control valve 9 is closed and the first control valve 7 is opened, the outdoor heat exchanger 4 is connected with the indoor heat exchanger 3 through the first throttle valve 6, the flash tank 5 and the second throttle valve 8, at this time, the refrigerant pressure in the flash tank 5 is the intermediate pressure between the high pressure and the low pressure, at this time, the suction pressure of the auxiliary cylinder 2 is the intermediate pressure, namely, the medium pressure air supplementing, in the operation mode, the auxiliary cylinder 2 reduces the dryness of the refrigerant entering the indoor heat exchanger 3 through sucking the medium pressure air, so that the unit mass refrigeration capacity and the system operation energy efficiency of the master cylinder 1 are improved, the mode is suitable for the occasion that the throttle dryness of the indoor heat exchanger 3 is larger, namely, the occasion that the suction and the discharge pressure of the compressor is larger, and when the suction and discharge pressures are larger, the air supplementing pressure is provided to improve the air supplementing mass flow of the auxiliary cylinder 2, and the improvement of the capacity energy efficiency of the heat pump system is more beneficial.
When the first control valve 7 is opened and the second control valve 9 is also opened, the pressure of the refrigerant in the flash evaporator 5 is the same as the pressure of the refrigerant at the indoor heat exchanger 3, at the moment, the suction pressure of the auxiliary cylinder 2 is low pressure suction, low pressure air supplement is realized, the dryness of the inlet of the indoor heat exchanger 3 is reduced by compressing the refrigerant gas separated from the flash evaporator 5, the service efficiency of the indoor heat exchanger 3 is improved, the unit mass refrigeration capacity and the system energy efficiency of the main cylinder 1 are increased, the device is suitable for occasions with lower load and occasions with low suction-discharge pressure ratio, the adverse influence caused by overlarge air supplement liquid carrying rate due to small air supplement under the low-load operation condition is avoided, and the operation reliability of the heat pump system is ensured.
In the embodiment, the low-pressure air supplementing and medium-pressure air supplementing of the auxiliary cylinder can be conveniently switched by simply combining and controlling the second throttle valve 8 and the second control valve 9, so that the heat pump system can switch modes under different load conditions, the operation efficiency of the heat pump system under different working conditions is ensured, the structure is simple, and the control cost is greatly reduced.
In another embodiment, not shown, the pressure regulating device comprises a second throttle valve 8, wherein when the opening of the second throttle valve 8 is within a first range, the pressure difference across the second throttle valve 8 is within a first preset range, and when the opening of the second throttle valve 8 is within a second range, the pressure difference across the second throttle valve 8 is within a second preset range. The second throttle valve 8 can have a larger opening adjustment range, so that the refrigerant pressure difference at two ends of the second throttle valve 8 can be kept within a first preset range in the adjustment process of the second throttle valve 8, and the low-pressure air supplement of the heat pump system is realized; the pressure difference of the refrigerants at the two ends of the second throttle valve 8 can be kept within a second preset range, and medium-pressure air supplement of the heat pump system is realized. Since the adjustment range of the second throttle valve 8 can meet the low-pressure air-supplementing requirement and the high-pressure air-supplementing requirement of the heat pump system, the second control valve 9 is not required.
The heat pump system further comprises a four-way valve 10, wherein the four-way valve 10 is arranged at the exhaust end of the compressor. By arranging the four-way valve 10, the switching of the refrigerating and heating working conditions of the heat pump system can be conveniently realized.
Referring to fig. 7 and 8 in combination, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a control method of the heat pump system includes: acquiring the operation condition of a heat pump system; when the heat pump system is in a refrigeration mode, working parameters of a main cylinder 1 of the compressor are obtained; determining an air supplementing mode of the auxiliary cylinder 2 according to the working parameters of the main cylinder 1 of the compressor; the pressure regulating device is adjusted such that the auxiliary cylinder 2 is operated in the determined air-make-up mode.

During the startup phase, since the refrigerant is stored in the flash tank 5, the risk that the refrigerant stored in the flash tank 5 enters the auxiliary cylinder 2 to cause the auxiliary cylinder 2 to generate liquid impact easily occurs, and the refrigerant entering the auxiliary cylinder 2 can be all gaseous refrigerant by controlling the auxiliary cylinder 2 to operate according to the low-pressure air supplementing mode, so that the liquid refrigerant is effectively prevented from entering the auxiliary cylinder 2 to generate liquid impact phenomenon, and the compressor operation is effectively protected.
By controlling the opening degree of the first throttle valve 6, the suction superheat degree of the master cylinder 1 can be made within a preset range, and the problem of reduction in operation energy efficiency due to an excessively high suction superheat degree of the compressor master cylinder 1 can be avoided.
Preferably, the preset range of the suction superheat Δtsuc of the master cylinder 1 is 3 to 5 ℃.
The step of determining the air supplementing mode of the auxiliary cylinder 2 according to the operation condition of the heat pump system and the operation parameter of the main cylinder 1 of the compressor includes:
determining an air suction/exhaust pressure ratio Pc/Pe of the master cylinder 1;
if Pc/Pe is less than n, controlling the heat pump system to operate in a low-pressure air supplementing mode;
and if Pc/Pe is more than or equal to n, controlling the heat pump system to operate in a medium-pressure air supplementing mode.
The step of adjusting the pressure adjusting means such that the auxiliary cylinder 2 is operated in the determined air-make-up mode comprises:
if Pc/Pe is smaller than n, the second control valve 9 is controlled to be opened, so that the pressure difference of the refrigerants at two ends of the pressure regulating device is within a first preset range;
if Pc/Pe is more than or equal to n, the second control valve 9 is controlled to be closed, and the second throttle valve 8 is regulated, so that the refrigerant pressure difference at the two ends of the pressure regulating device is within a second preset range. Wherein n has a value of 1.5 to 2.0.
The step of determining the air supplementing mode of the auxiliary cylinder 2 according to the operation condition of the heat pump system and the operation parameter of the main cylinder 1 of the compressor includes:
determining the ratio Tc/Te of the condensing temperature and the evaporating temperature of the indoor heat exchanger 3;
the air make-up mode of the heat pump system is determined based on Tc/Te. Wherein the condensing temperature and evaporating temperature of the indoor heat exchanger 3 are detected by a temperature sensing bulb arranged in the middle of the indoor heat exchanger 3. The value range of Tc/Te can be set according to the actual working condition of the heat pump system.
When the heat pump system is in the heating mode, the second control valve 9 is controlled to be in a closed state, so that the heat pump system operates in the medium-pressure air supplementing mode; the opening combination of the first throttle valve 6 and the second throttle valve 8 is adjusted according to the suction superheat degree of the refrigerant in the suction port of the master cylinder 1 and the refrigerant entrainment rate in the suction port of the auxiliary cylinder 2.
The operation of the heat pump system of the present embodiment will be described below:
when the heat pump system is started in the refrigeration mode, in order to ensure that excessive refrigerant liquid in the flash evaporator 5 enters the auxiliary cylinder 2 in the starting stage, the operation is performed in the low-pressure air supplementing mode in the starting initial stage, and the air suction superheat degree delta Tsu of the main cylinder 1 is controlled to be within a reasonable range by adjusting the opening degree of the first throttle valve 6, and the delta Tsu is generally at a value of 3-5 ℃. After the stable operation is carried out for a period of time, judging whether the system is operated in a medium-pressure air supplementing mode or a low-pressure air supplementing mode by detecting the value of the air suction/exhaust pressure ratio Pc/Pe of the main cylinder 1, and when Pc/Pe is smaller than n, the system is operated in the low-pressure air supplementing mode, and then the second control valve 9 needs to be opened; when Pc/Pe is more than or equal to n, the second control valve 9 is closed, the refrigerant enters the indoor heat exchanger 3 from the liquid refrigerant outlet of the flash evaporator 5 through the second throttle valve 8, the medium-pressure air supplementing operation is realized, and the suction superheat degree of the refrigerant of the main cylinder suction port and the refrigerant liquid carrying rate of the auxiliary cylinder suction port can meet the design target by adjusting the opening degrees of the first throttle valve 6 and the second throttle valve 8.
