In the long-term heating operation process of the conventional multi-split air conditioning system in a low-temperature environment, the heat exchanger of the outdoor unit gradually frosts, so that the refrigerant is incompletely evaporated, accumulated liquid is gradually formed in the gas-liquid separator, the quantity of circulating refrigerant in the air conditioning system is gradually reduced, the heat exchange capacity of the indoor unit is gradually attenuated, and the defrosting frequency is increased.
At present, an electric heating belt is generally added around the gas-liquid separator or an electric heating pipe is added inside the gas-liquid separator to forcedly heat the liquid refrigerant stored in the gas-liquid separator, but the forced heating and evaporation mode can greatly increase the pressure of the low-pressure side of the air conditioning system and reduce the heat exchange effect of the evaporation side.
In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present application provides a pressure regulator, an outdoor unit, an air conditioning system, and a control method of the air conditioning system, and the following description will be given by way of examples.
Example 1
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a pressure regulator according to an embodiment of the present application.
As shown in fig. 1, the pressure regulator provided in this embodiment includes:
a pressure regulating tank 1;
the pressure regulating tank is provided with a liquid refrigerant inlet and a gaseous refrigerant outlet; the liquid refrigerant inlet is communicated with the gas-liquid separator in the outdoor unit through a first flow direction control assembly 2, so that the liquid refrigerant in the gas-liquid separator enters the pressure regulating tank through the first flow direction control assembly and the liquid refrigerant inlet under the action of the pressure in the gas-liquid separator by controlling the state of the first flow direction control assembly;
the pressure regulating tank is provided with a heating device 3 for evaporating the liquid refrigerant entering the pressure regulating tank into a gaseous refrigerant;
the gaseous refrigerant outlet is communicated with a refrigerant circulation pipeline in the outdoor unit through a second flow direction control assembly 4, so that the gaseous refrigerant sequentially passes through the gaseous refrigerant outlet and the second flow direction control assembly and escapes from the pressure regulating tank to the refrigerant circulation pipeline of the outdoor unit.
The pressure regulator comprises a pressure regulating tank, the pressure regulating tank is provided with a liquid refrigerant inlet and a gaseous refrigerant outlet, the liquid refrigerant inlet is communicated with the gas-liquid separator in the outdoor unit through a first flow direction control assembly, the gaseous refrigerant outlet is communicated with the compressor in the outdoor unit through a second flow direction control assembly, and the pressure regulator is internally provided with a heating device. Based on the above, the liquid refrigerant flows into the pressure regulating tank under the pressure in the gas-liquid separator, and is separated from the low pressure side of the air conditioning system by the first flow direction control assembly and the second flow direction control assembly, so that the phenomenon that the low pressure side pressure is greatly improved due to forced heating in the prior art is controllable to a certain extent, and the influence caused by the great improvement of the low pressure side pressure can be effectively avoided.
In particular, the first flow control assembly may comprise a first regulating valve 21 and a non-return valve 22; the first regulating valve is used for regulating the flow of the liquid refrigerant in the gas-liquid separator flowing into the pressure regulating tank; the check valve is used for preventing the refrigerant in the pressure regulating tank from reversely flowing into the gas-liquid separator. Because in the operation process of the above structure, when the liquid refrigerant is continuously evaporated, the pressure in the pressure regulating tank may be greater than the pressure in the gas-liquid separator, and at this time, the liquid may have a countercurrent condition (i.e., flow from the pressure regulating tank into the gas-liquid separator), and the first flow direction control assembly is provided with a check valve, so that the countercurrent condition can be avoided. The first regulating valve and the check valve are both arranged on a flow pipeline between the pressure regulating tank and the gas-liquid separator.
In order to improve the practicability of the pressure regulator in this embodiment, the second flow direction control assembly in this embodiment may be provided as two regulating valves with different flow directions, specifically, the second flow direction control assembly may include a second regulating valve 41 and a third regulating valve 42, one end of the second regulating valve and one end of the third regulating valve are both connected with the gaseous refrigerant outlet, the other end of the second regulating valve is used for connecting with the air inlet of the compressor 5 in the outdoor unit, and the other end of the third regulating valve is used for connecting with the air supplementing port of the compressor. When liquid discharge is carried out, the gaseous refrigerant in the pressure regulating tank can be introduced into the compressor from the air inlet of the compressor through the second regulating valve, and the gaseous refrigerant in the pressure regulating tank can be introduced into the air supplementing pipeline of the compressor through the third regulating valve, so that the middle air supplementing amount is improved, and the heating capacity of the air conditioning system is improved.
In addition, there may be various heating devices, for example, the heating device is an electric heater, and the electric heater is disposed inside the pressure adjustment tank (as shown in fig. 1); or the heating device is an electric heating belt, and the electric heating belt is wound on the outer surface of the pressure regulating tank.
Because gaseous refrigerant can be in the top of liquid refrigerant (this top refers to the direction of keeping away from ground more), consequently, gaseous refrigerant export can set up the pressure regulating jar is in the one end of keeping away from ground when installing the completion state to make things convenient for gaseous refrigerant's smooth discharge.
Correspondingly, the liquid refrigerant inlet is arranged at one end, close to the ground, of the pressure regulating tank in an installation completion state. The liquid refrigerant can flow into the pressure regulating tank directly. Of course, the liquid refrigerant inlet can also be arranged at one end far away from the ground, so that the situation that the liquid refrigerant cannot flow into the pressure regulating tank by means of the pressure in the gas-liquid separator due to overlarge gravity when the liquid refrigerant in the pressure regulating tank is more is avoided.
Example two
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of an outdoor unit according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 2, the outdoor unit provided in this embodiment includes:

the pressure regulators are connected to the compressors respectively through second flow control assemblies.
Because the pressure regulator comprises a pressure regulating tank, the pressure regulating tank is provided with a liquid refrigerant inlet and a gaseous refrigerant outlet, the liquid refrigerant inlet is communicated with the gas-liquid separator in the outdoor unit through a first flow direction control assembly, and the gaseous refrigerant outlet is communicated with the compressor in the outdoor unit through a second flow direction control assembly. Based on the above, the liquid refrigerant flows into the pressure regulating tank under the pressure in the gas-liquid separator, and is separated from the low pressure side of the air conditioning system by the first flow direction control assembly and the second flow direction control assembly, so that the phenomenon that the low pressure side pressure is greatly improved due to forced heating in the prior art is controllable to a certain extent, and the influence caused by the great improvement of the low pressure side pressure can be effectively avoided.
When the second flow direction control assembly includes one end of the second regulating valve and the third regulating valve, the compressor should be provided with an air inlet and an air compensating port, the pressure regulator is connected with the gaseous refrigerant outlet through one end of the second regulating valve and one end of the third regulating valve, the other end of the second regulating valve is connected with the air inlet, and the other end of the third regulating valve is connected with the air compensating pipe of the air compensating port.
The second gas-liquid separation outlet is arranged at one end of the gas-liquid separator, which is close to the ground when the gas-liquid separator is in an installation completion state, so that liquid refrigerant can conveniently flow out of the gas-liquid separator.
Example III
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of an air conditioning system according to a third embodiment of the present application.
As shown in fig. 3, the air conditioning system provided in this embodiment includes: an outdoor unit 301 and an indoor unit 302 connected to the outdoor unit according to a second embodiment of the present application.
Because the pressure regulator comprises a pressure regulating tank, the pressure regulating tank is provided with a liquid refrigerant inlet and a gaseous refrigerant outlet, the liquid refrigerant inlet is communicated with the gas-liquid separator in the outdoor unit through a first flow direction control assembly, and the gaseous refrigerant outlet is communicated with the compressor in the outdoor unit through a second flow direction control assembly. Based on the above, the liquid refrigerant flows into the pressure regulating tank under the pressure in the gas-liquid separator, and is separated from the low pressure side of the air conditioning system by the first flow direction control assembly and the second flow direction control assembly, so that the phenomenon that the low pressure side pressure is greatly improved due to forced heating in the prior art is controllable to a certain extent, and the influence caused by the great improvement of the low pressure side pressure can be effectively avoided.
Example IV
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a flow chart of an air conditioner control method according to a fourth embodiment of the present application.
As shown in fig. 4, the air conditioner control method provided in this embodiment includes:
step S401, obtaining a liquid discharge signal; the liquid discharge signal comprises a liquid discharge starting signal and a liquid discharge stopping signal;
step S402, executing a first control logic when the liquid discharge signal is a liquid discharge starting signal;
and step S403, executing a second control logic when the liquid discharge signal is a liquid discharge stop signal.
Wherein the first control logic comprises: controlling the second flow direction control assembly to be opened for a preset time according to the liquid discharge signal so as to reduce the pressure in the pressure regulating tank; opening the first flow control assembly to enable liquid refrigerant in the gas-liquid separator to flow into the pressure regulating tank; and starting the heating device and simultaneously reducing the opening of the fourth regulating valve according to a preset speed so as to enable the pressure in the gas-liquid separator to be larger than the pressure in the pressure regulating tank.
The second control logic includes: sequentially performing the following steps according to a preset time interval: closing the heating device, closing the first flow direction control assembly, adjusting the opening of the fourth regulating valve to be the original opening, and closing the second flow direction control assembly.
In the first control logic, the opening of the fourth regulating valve is reduced according to a preset speed while the heating device is started, so as to ensure that the pressure in the pressure regulating tank is always smaller than the pressure in the gas-liquid separator, and the pressure in the pressure regulating tank is gradually increased due to the fact that the liquid refrigerant in the pressure regulating tank is continuously evaporated into the gaseous refrigerant, so that the opening of the fourth regulating valve can be reduced to avoid that the pressure in the pressure regulating tank is larger than the pressure in the gas-liquid separator, the gaseous refrigerant is reduced to escape from the gas-liquid separator, and the gaseous refrigerant accumulated in the gas-liquid separator is increased, so that the pressure in the gas-liquid separator is increased. Specifically, the preset rate needs to be determined according to the volume of the gas-liquid separator actually installed and the circulation amount of the refrigerant in a specific operation process.
In addition, there are two ways to determine the signal to start draining, the first way to drain according to the actual liquid accumulation condition and the second way to drain at fixed time.
Specifically, when the determination of the start drain signal follows the first approach, acquiring the drain signal may include:
acquiring the inlet temperature of a gas-liquid separator of the gas-liquid separator and the inlet temperature of a compressor; when the inlet temperature of the gas-liquid separator and the inlet temperature of the compressor meet a first preset condition, the liquid discharge signal is a liquid discharge starting signal; the first preset condition is that the difference between the inlet temperature of the gas-liquid separator and the inlet temperature of the compressor is smaller than a preset temperature difference.
When the determination of the start drain signal follows the second approach, acquiring the drain signal may include:
acquiring the current time and the time of executing the first control logic last time; calculating the difference between the current moment and the moment of executing the first control logic last time to obtain a liquid discharge time difference; when the liquid discharge time difference meets a second preset condition, the liquid discharge signal is a liquid discharge starting signal; the second preset condition is that the liquid discharge time difference is greater than or equal to a preset time interval.
Of course, the first and second methods may be adopted to determine the signal of starting liquid discharge, so as to avoid the liquid discharge times caused by the two methods being more than the actual requirement, the method for obtaining the signal of starting liquid discharge may include:
acquiring the inlet temperature of a gas-liquid separator of the gas-liquid separator and the inlet temperature of a compressor; when the inlet temperature of the gas-liquid separator and the inlet temperature of the compressor meet a first preset condition, the liquid discharge signal is a first liquid discharge starting signal; the first preset condition is that the difference between the inlet temperature of the gas-liquid separator and the inlet temperature of the compressor is smaller than a preset temperature difference; or, acquiring the current time, the time of executing the first control logic according to the second liquid discharge starting signal and the time of executing the first control logic last time; calculating the difference between the current moment and the moment of executing the first control logic according to the second starting liquid discharge signal to obtain a first liquid discharge time difference; calculating the difference between the current moment and the moment of executing the first control logic last time to obtain a second liquid discharge time difference; when the first liquid discharge time difference value and the second liquid discharge time difference value meet a third preset condition, the liquid discharge signal is a liquid discharge starting signal; the third preset condition is that the first liquid discharge time difference is greater than or equal to a preset time interval and the second liquid discharge time difference is greater than a minimum time interval.
