Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of an embodiment of a method for determining an initial opening of an electronic expansion valve of an air conditioner according to the present invention is shown.
As shown in fig. 1, this embodiment determines the initial opening degree of the electronic expansion valve of the air conditioner using the following procedure:
step 11: and acquiring the current rated frequency and the current rated capacity parameter of the current air conditioner.
The current air conditioner is an air conditioner which is operated and needs to determine the initial opening degree of an electronic expansion valve. The current rated frequency and the current rated capacity parameter both refer to the performance parameter of the current air conditioner. The rated capacity parameter is a parameter representing the operation capacity of the air conditioner, and includes, but is not limited to, a rated cooling capacity or a rated heating capacity. Any air conditioner has fixed rated frequency and rated capacity parameters, and the parameters are stored on a computer board of the air conditioner and can be conveniently read by a controller of the air conditioner.
Step 12: and searching a reference rated capacity parameter consistent with the current rated capacity parameter from a reference database, and acquiring a reference data record containing the reference rated capacity parameter.
In the embodiment, a reference database is preset on the computer board of the air conditioner, a plurality of reference data records are stored in the reference database, and each reference data record at least comprises a reference rated capacity parameter, a reference rated frequency and a reference initial opening parameter. Moreover, all data in each reference data record corresponds to the same reference air conditioner. The reference rated capacity parameter is a parameter for representing the operation capacity of the reference air conditioner, and comprises but is not limited to rated refrigerating capacity or rated heating capacity, and the reference rated capacity parameter and the reference rated frequency are known and fixed; the reference initial opening degree parameter is a parameter for determining an initial opening degree of an electronic expansion valve of the reference air conditioner, and is preferably a more reasonable parameter obtained through a large number of theoretical analyses and experimental tests in a laboratory.
In a preferred embodiment, the reference database stores reference data records with nominal capacity parameters as a reference for storage, each nominal capacity parameter having only one reference data record, and the reference database stores reference data records of all, at least almost all, different nominal capacity parameters. The reference database formed by the method comprises reference data records with different rated capacity parameters as much as possible, so that the initial opening degree parameters of other air conditioners can be accurately and comprehensively determined based on the reference data records, and the complicated process of determining reasonable parameters in a laboratory by adopting a complex means can be reduced as much as possible.
After the current rated capacity parameter of the current air conditioner is acquired in step 11, a reference rated capacity parameter consistent with the current rated capacity parameter is searched from a preset reference database, and then a reference data record containing the reference rated capacity parameter is acquired. The reference rated capacity parameter consistent with the current rated capacity parameter refers to the reference rated capacity parameter identical with the current rated capacity parameter. For example, the current rated capacity parameter is 2600W of cooling capacity, and the reference rated capacity parameter consistent therewith is 2600W of cooling capacity.
Step 13: and calculating a ratio r1 of the current rated frequency and the reference rated frequency, and adjusting the reference initial opening parameter according to the ratio r1 to obtain the current initial opening parameter.
Step 12, a reference data record containing a reference rated capacity parameter consistent with the current rated capacity parameter is obtained, and the reference data record also contains a reference rated frequency and a reference initial opening parameter. Then, a ratio r1 of the current rated frequency acquired in step 11 to the reference rated frequency acquired in step 12 is calculated, r1= current rated frequency/reference rated frequency. And then, adjusting the reference initial opening parameter according to the ratio r1 to obtain the current initial opening parameter. Specifically, when r1 is less than or equal to 1, according to the formula: the current initial opening parameter = A × reference initial opening parameter/r 1, and obtaining the current initial opening parameter; at r1 > 1, according to the formula: the current initial opening parameter = A reference initial opening parameter 2/(1 + r 1), and obtaining the current initial opening parameter; a is an adjustment factor. The adjustment factor a may be a predetermined, fixed constant, for example a =1, or may be a variable parameter. As a preferred embodiment, the adjustment factor is determined according to the current environmental parameter of the air conditioner, and the specific determination method refers to the following description.
Step 14: and determining the initial opening degree of the electronic expansion valve of the current air conditioner according to the current initial opening degree parameter and the corresponding relation between the known initial opening degree parameter and the initial opening degree.
The corresponding relation between the initial opening parameter and the initial opening is pre-stored on the computer board of the air conditioner, and the corresponding relation between the initial opening parameter and the initial opening is a positive correlation. The positive correlation correspondence between the initial opening parameter and the initial opening may be all possible correspondences existing in the prior art, and the embodiment is not limited. By adopting the corresponding relation, the corresponding initial opening degree can be determined according to the initial opening degree parameter, thereby realizing the determination of the initial opening degree of the electronic expansion valve of the current air conditioner.
The method of the embodiment is adopted to determine the current initial opening of the current air conditioner, and since the ratio r1= current rated frequency/reference rated frequency, when r1 is less than or equal to 1, the calculation formula of the current initial opening parameter is as follows: the current initial opening parameter = a × reference initial opening parameter/r 1. Then, after the adjustment factor a is determined, the current initial opening degree parameter and the current rated frequency are in a negative correlation relationship. For example, if A =1, r1 ≦ 1, and 1/r1 ≧ 1, the current initial opening parameter is greater than the reference initial opening parameter. And the smaller the current rated frequency is, the smaller r1 is, and the larger the current initial opening parameter is obtained through calculation. This is consistent with the operation performance of the air conditioner. Specifically, if the current rated frequency is less than the reference rated frequency, indicating that the current air conditioner needs to operate at a frequency less than the reference rated frequency if the same operation capacity, such as the same cooling capacity or heating capacity, is to be achieved, then the current air conditioner has a large compressor and a large heat exchanger compared to the reference air conditioner having the reference rated frequency; at this time, the current initial opening parameter is greater than the reference initial opening parameter, and then the current initial opening of the electronic expansion valve determined according to the current initial opening parameter and the positive correlation is also greater than the initial opening of the electronic expansion valve of the reference air conditioner, and the greater initial opening can ensure the stability of a refrigerant circulation system formed by the large compressor and the large heat exchanger and the rapidity and accuracy of subsequent opening adjustment of the electronic expansion valve.
And if r1 is more than 1, the calculation formula of the current initial opening parameter is as follows: the current initial opening parameter = a reference initial opening parameter 2/(1 + r 1). Then, after the adjustment factor a is determined, the current initial opening degree parameter and the current rated frequency also have a negative correlation relationship. For example, setting a =1, r1 > 1, 2/(1 + r 1) is less than 1, then the current initial opening parameter is less than the reference initial opening parameter. And the larger the current rated frequency is, the larger r1 is, and the smaller the current initial opening parameter obtained by calculation is. This is consistent with the operation performance of the air conditioner. Specifically, if the current rated frequency is greater than the reference rated frequency, indicating that the current air conditioner needs to operate at a frequency greater than the reference rated frequency if the same operation capacity, such as the same cooling capacity or heating capacity, is to be achieved, then the current air conditioner has a small compressor and a small heat exchanger compared to the reference air conditioner having the reference rated frequency; at this time, the current initial opening parameter is smaller than the reference initial opening parameter, and then the current initial opening of the electronic expansion valve determined according to the current initial opening parameter and the positive correlation is also smaller than the initial opening of the electronic expansion valve of the reference air conditioner, and the smaller initial opening can ensure the stability of a refrigerant circulation system formed by the small compressor and the small heat exchanger and the rapidity and the accuracy of subsequent opening adjustment of the electronic expansion valve. And, if r1 > 1, 2/(1 + r 1) > 1/r1, the current initial opening parameter determined using 2/(1 + r 1) as the adjustment parameter will be larger than the current initial opening parameter determined using 1/r1 as the adjustment parameter. Then, the current initial opening degree finally obtained by adopting 2/(1 + r 1) as the adjusting parameter is smaller than the initial opening degree of the electronic expansion valve of the reference air conditioner, but not too small, so that the adverse effect caused by overhigh exhaust temperature due to the fact that the initial opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is too small is avoided.
In addition, the method of the embodiment is adopted to determine the current initial opening degree of the current air conditioner, the reference data record is prestored in the reference database through the preset reference database, the initial opening degree parameter matched with the current air conditioner is determined according to the reference data record, the current rated frequency and the current rated capacity parameter of the current air conditioner, the self-adaptive adjustment of the initial opening degree parameters of all the air conditioners can be realized without testing the initial opening degree parameters of all the air conditioners in advance, the process only needs to test one of the air conditioners with the same rated capacity parameter, and the problems of complex test process and difficulty in realization caused by the fact that each air conditioner is tested are effectively avoided. In addition, the initial opening degree of the electronic expansion valve of the current air conditioner is determined through the initial opening degree parameter and the corresponding relation between the known initial opening degree parameter and the initial opening degree, rather than determining a fixed value for the initial opening degree only by experience, and therefore the problem that the initial opening degree is not reasonable enough to select only by experience in the prior art is effectively solved.
In some other preferred embodiments, the current initial opening degree parameter includes a first parameter a and a second parameter b corresponding to the cooling mode, and a third parameter c and a fourth parameter d corresponding to the heating mode, and the determining the initial opening degree of the electronic expansion valve of the current air conditioner according to the current initial opening degree parameter and the corresponding relationship between the known initial opening degree parameter and the initial opening degree specifically includes:
acquiring the real-time running frequency f of a compressor of the current air conditioner;
if the current operation mode of the air conditioner is a refrigeration mode, determining the initial opening degree of the electronic expansion valve in the refrigeration mode according to a formula Pc = a × f + b;
if the current operation mode of the air conditioner is a heating mode, determining the initial opening degree of the electronic expansion valve in the heating mode according to a formula Ph = c × f + d.
If the current initial opening parameter includes the above four parameters a, b, c, and d, and correspondingly, the reference initial opening parameter also includes similar four parameters, which are respectively marked as a0, b0, c0, and d0, according to the method of the embodiment in fig. 1, when r1 is less than or equal to 1, the four current initial opening parameters are respectively calculated, specifically: a = a0/r1, b = a b0/r1, c = a c0/r1, d = a d0/r 1; when r1 is greater than 1, four current initial opening parameters are respectively calculated, specifically: a = a × a0 × 2/(1 + r 1), b = a × b0 × 2/(1 + r 1), c = a × c0 × 2/(1 + r 1), and d = a × d0 × 2/(1 + r 1).
In some other preferred embodiments, the adjustment factor a in the formula for calculating the current initial opening parameter is preferably a variable value dynamically determined according to the environmental parameter of the current air conditioner, so as to improve the accuracy of the initial opening determined based on the adjustment factor. Specifically, in the reference database, the reference data record includes a reference indoor environment temperature and a reference outdoor environment temperature in addition to a reference rated capacity parameter, a reference rated frequency, and a reference initial opening parameter, and the adjustment factor a is determined according to the current environment parameter of the air conditioner, which specifically includes:
acquiring a real-time indoor environment temperature and a real-time outdoor environment temperature of an environment where the current air conditioner is located, calculating a first temperature difference between the real-time indoor environment temperature and a reference indoor environment temperature, and calculating a second temperature difference between the real-time outdoor environment temperature and the reference outdoor environment temperature; and then, determining the adjusting factors corresponding to the first temperature difference and the second temperature difference according to the known corresponding relation between the temperature difference and the adjusting factors, and taking the adjusting factors as the adjusting factors corresponding to the current air conditioner. The known corresponding relationship between the temperature difference and the adjustment factor may be all possible relationships reflecting the influence of the indoor ambient temperature and/or the outdoor ambient temperature on the initial opening degree, for example, the temperature difference and the adjustment factor are linear relationships.
