Fig. 1 is a schematic view showing a structure of an air conditioner according to the present application, in which the air conditioner performs a refrigerating cycle of the air conditioner by using a compressor, a condenser, an electronic expansion valve, and an evaporator. The refrigeration cycle includes a series of processes involving compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation, and supplies a refrigerant to the air that has been conditioned and heat exchanged.
The low-temperature low-pressure refrigerant gas from the evaporator becomes the high-temperature high-pressure refrigerant gas, and the compressed refrigerant gas is discharged. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase, and heat is released into the cooling water through the condensation process.
The electronic expansion valve expands the liquid-phase refrigerant in a high-temperature and high-pressure state condensed in the condenser into a low-pressure liquid-phase refrigerant. The evaporator evaporates the refrigerant expanded in the electronic expansion valve and returns the refrigerant gas in a low-temperature and low-pressure state to the compressor. The evaporator may achieve a cooling effect by exchanging heat with a material to be cooled using latent heat of evaporation of a refrigerant. In the whole cycle, the water chiller is used for preparing cold water, and then the cold water exchanges heat with indoor air through the tail ends of a fan coil and the like.
As described in the background art, in the running process of the air conditioner, the characteristic curve of the electronic expansion valve is generally defaulted to be linear change, and the number of steps required by the current period of the electronic expansion valve is determined according to the target temperature, namely the target number of steps, but when the flow characteristic curve is nonlinear change, the actual flow corresponding to the calculated target number of steps is greatly deviated, so that the air conditioner and the electronic expansion valve control method are provided, and the electronic expansion valve can be accurately controlled when the flow characteristic curve is nonlinear.
To further describe the solution of the present application, in one example of the present application, the air conditioner includes:
a refrigerant circulation loop for circulating the refrigerant in a loop formed by the compressor, the condenser, the expansion valve and the evaporator;
the compressor is used for compressing the low-temperature low-pressure refrigerant gas into high-temperature high-pressure refrigerant gas and discharging the high-temperature high-pressure refrigerant gas to the condenser;
the condenser is used for radiating heat to the cooling water to condense the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas into high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant liquid and discharging the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant liquid to the electronic expansion valve;
the electronic expansion valve is used for adjusting the flow of the refrigerant liquid;

In the embodiment of the application, when the electronic expansion valve is opened for the first time, that is, when the air conditioning system is just started, the parameter of the electronic expansion valve needs to be adjusted, the target step percentage is determined according to the target temperature required to be reached, the target step percentage is the ideal step percentage required to be reached, but the maximum step number of the electronic expansion valve which needs to be opened 240 steps is calculated to be 480 steps, which is equivalent to 50% of the step percentage, the actual control purpose is that the desired flow percentage is also 50%, and if no correction is made, as shown in fig. 2, when the step percentage is 50%, the flow percentage is 24%, which is obviously different from the flow percentage expected by us, so that the valve opening is too small, the operation of each component is not optimally matched, the operation of the unit in a better state is not ensured, and therefore the actual step percentage needs to be determined according to the target step percentage and the second preset formula, and the actual step percentage is sent to the electronic expansion valve, so that the accurate control of the electronic expansion valve is realized.
In the running process of the air conditioner, a determined step percentage is generally calculated only when the electronic expansion valve or the system is started for the first time and is sent to the expansion valve, and in the steady running process of the air conditioner, a step change percentage of the current period is generally determined based on a target difference value of the current period, wherein the target difference value is determined based on a target temperature, the step change percentage is a ratio of the target difference value to the total step number, and an actual step percentage of the current period is determined based on the step change percentage, the step percentage of the last period, a first preset formula and a second preset formula so as to send the actual step percentage of the current period to the electronic expansion valve.
