Meanwhile, the evaporator is used for providing a cold source for the indoor unit of the air conditioner and reducing the temperature of a heat exchanger in the indoor unit of the air conditioner, and when an indoor fan in the indoor unit of the air conditioner works, negative pressure is generated to suck indoor air into the indoor unit of the air conditioner, and the indoor air is cooled by the heat exchanger and then blows cold air indoors.

The specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by those skilled in the art according to specific situations.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an air conditioning unit according to this embodiment, in which a compressor 21 of a refrigerant system drives a refrigerant to circulate between a condenser 22 and an evaporator 23, and an electronic expansion valve 24 is further disposed between the condenser 22 and the evaporator 23. In the process of refrigerating in summer, the refrigerant enters the condenser 22 from the exhaust port of the compressor 21, then flows to the evaporator 23 through the electronic expansion valve 24, and finally flows back to the air suction port of the compressor 21.
In addition, the condenser 22 is also thermally connected to the cooling tower through the first water circulation pipeline 41 (or called as a cooling water pipeline), so as to cool the condenser by the cooling tower, for example, the first water circulation pipeline 41 may be connected to the water inlet 121 and the water outlet 122 of the water tank of the cooling tower, so that the cooling tower 1 may continuously supply cooling water to the condenser 22 in the refrigerant system to reduce the temperature of the condenser 22. The evaporator 23 is thermally connected to the heat exchanger 3 in the indoor unit of the air conditioner via a second water circulation line 42 (or chilled water line). At this time, the evaporator 23 is used for providing a cold source for the indoor unit of the air conditioner, reducing the temperature of the heat exchanger 3 in the indoor unit of the air conditioner, and when the indoor fan 13 in the indoor unit of the air conditioner works, negative pressure is generated to suck indoor air into the indoor unit of the air conditioner, cool the air through the heat exchanger 3 and blow out the cold air indoors.
Exemplarily, in a cooling tower 1 shown in fig. 2, the cooling tower 1 includes a housing 11, and a surface air cooler 12 and a fan 13 disposed in the housing 11, and the fan 13 is disposed on an air outlet side of the housing 11 of the cooling tower 1. After the fan 13 is started, air enters the periphery of the shell 11 of the cooling tower 1, and air flows through the airflow gap on the surface air cooler 13 to exchange heat with the surface air cooler 13 and then is discharged by the fan 13 on the upper part of the cooling tower 1. The surface cooler 12 is provided with a water inlet 121 and a water outlet 122 which are communicated with a coolant flow passage inside the surface cooler.
In addition, another form of cooling tower 1 includes a water tank, and a cooling fan 13 and a sprayer which are arranged above the water tank, and a water pump pressurizes water in the water tank and then sends the water to the sprayer, and exchanges heat with air formed by the cooling fan 13 in the spraying process, so that the cooling of the condenser 22 is realized while cooling water flow. The water tank cools the condenser 22 connected to the discharge end of the compressor 21 in the air conditioning unit by connecting a first water circulation line 41.
The control of the cooling fan 13 has a crucial influence on the cooling effect of the cooling water system, and improper control of the operating parameters of the cooling fan 13 may cause the temperature of the cooling water to be too high and too low, which affects the refrigeration effect of the central air conditioning unit, for example, if the temperature of the cooling water is too high, the discharge pressure of the compressor 21 may be too high and even exceed the pressure protection value, which may cause the alarm shutdown of the compressor 21; if the temperature of the cooling water is too low, the difference between the suction pressure and the discharge pressure is too small, and the compressor 21 is stopped by alarming when the compressor 21 cannot return oil normally seriously.
Currently, the cooling fan 13 is generally controlled by monitoring the temperature of the cooling water, the cooling fan 13 is turned off when the temperature of the cooling water is lower than a first preset value, the cooling fan 13 is turned on when the temperature of the cooling water is higher than a second preset value, and the current state of the cooling fan 13 is maintained when the temperature of the cooling water is between the first preset value and the second preset value.
However, in the above conventional method for controlling the cooling fan 13, the first preset value and the second preset value are determined only empirically, and there is a problem that the compressor 21 may be shut down by an alarm, especially when the temperature of the cooling water is between the first preset value and the second preset value, because the first preset value and the second preset value are prone to be different.
The present embodiment is intended to solve the above technical problem, that is, solve the problem that the existing method for controlling the cooling fan 13 of the cooling tower 1 may cause the alarm shutdown of the compressor 21.
In a first aspect, the present embodiment provides a control method of a cooling tower 1, the cooling tower 1 being an apparatus for cooling a condenser 22 of an air conditioning unit; the control method comprises the following steps:
s1, acquiring the actual water temperature of the water outlet 122 of the cooling tower 1.
For example, a temperature sensor may be arranged at the water outlet 122 of the cooling tower 1 shown in fig. 2 to obtain the actual water temperature at the water outlet 122.
S2, comparing the actual water temperature with a preset first temperature threshold and a preset second temperature threshold; wherein the first temperature threshold is less than the second temperature threshold.
Optionally, after step S2, the method further includes: when the actual water temperature is lower than the first temperature threshold, the cooling fan 13 is closed to increase the difference between the actual exhaust pressure and the actual suction pressure of the compressor to a reasonable range, so that the compressor is ensured to normally drive the refrigerant to flow, and the compressor is prevented from stopping; and when the actual water temperature is greater than the second temperature threshold value, the cooling fan 13 is started to reduce the exhaust pressure of the compressor to be within a reasonable range, and the alarm stop caused by the fact that the exhaust pressure of the compressor exceeds a protection value is avoided. Wherein the first temperature threshold and the second temperature threshold may be obtained from empirical values.
And S3, when the actual water temperature is between the first temperature threshold and the second temperature threshold, further acquiring the actual exhaust pressure and the actual suction pressure of the compressor 21 in the air conditioning unit.
It should be noted that, a pressure sensor may be arranged on a connection pipeline between the compressor 21 and the condenser 22 of the air conditioning unit shown in fig. 1 to detect the actual discharge pressure at the discharge end of the compressor 21; similarly, a pressure sensor may be disposed on the connection line between the compressor 21 and the evaporator 23 to detect the actual suction pressure at the suction end of the compressor 21.
And S4, calculating a relative value between the actual exhaust pressure and the actual suction pressure.
It should be noted that the calculation method of the relative value in step S4 may be to calculate a difference between the actual exhaust pressure and the actual intake pressure. Further, a ratio between the actual exhaust pressure and the actual intake pressure may also be calculated. Both of which may represent the relative magnitude between the actual discharge pressure and the actual suction pressure. It will be appreciated that the ratio or difference of the actual discharge pressure to the actual suction pressure of the compressor may be indicative of the magnitude of the actual discharge pressure relative to the actual suction pressure.
And S5, controlling the cooling fan 13 of the cooling tower 1 based on the relative value.
As a preferred implementation manner of the above control method provided in this embodiment, step S5 may include: comparing the relative value with a preset first relative threshold value and a preset second relative threshold value; wherein the first relative threshold is less than the second relative threshold; controlling the cooling fan 13 to be turned off when the relative value is smaller than the first relative threshold value; when the relative value is greater than the second relative threshold value, the cooling fan 13 is controlled to be turned on; and when the relative value is between the first relative threshold value and the second relative threshold value, controlling the cooling fan 13 to maintain the current state.
It will be appreciated that when the relative value is between the first relative threshold and the second relative threshold, it indicates that the actual discharge pressure of the compressor 21 is within a reasonable range relative to the actual suction pressure. When the relative value is smaller than the first relative threshold value, which indicates that the discharge pressure is smaller than the suction pressure, the discharge pressure of the compressor 21 can be increased by closing the condensing fan 13 to increase the water temperature of the cooling tower 1, so that the compressor 21 drives the refrigerant to normally flow, and the compressor 21 is prevented from being stopped. Similarly, when the relative value is greater than the second relative threshold, it indicates that the discharge pressure is greater than the suction pressure, and at this time, the condensing fan 13 may be turned on to reduce the water temperature of the cooling tower 1, thereby reducing the discharge pressure of the compressor 21, and reducing the discharge pressure to within a normal pressure range, thereby avoiding the shutdown of the compressor 21. Thus, more accurate control of the cooling fan 13 is achieved, and the problem of the alarm shutdown of the compressor 21 is reliably solved.
As a preferred implementation of the above control method provided in this embodiment, step S5 includes: searching an actual numerical value interval corresponding to the relative value in a plurality of preset numerical value intervals; the rotational speed level of the cooling fan 13 is determined based on the actual numerical range and a first mapping relationship between a plurality of preset numerical ranges and the rotational speed level of the cooling fan 13.
In the first map, a first map may be set in advance between a numerical range of relative values between the actual discharge pressure and the actual suction pressure of the compressor 21 and the rotational speed level of the cooling fan 13, and the rotational speed of the fan 13 is increased as the range of the plurality of numerical ranges is increased, that is, the rotational speed of the cooling fan 13 is positively correlated with the relative value.
As a preferred implementation of the above control method provided in this embodiment, step S5 includes: the rotation speed of the cooling fan 13 is determined based on the relative value and a calculation model in which the rotation speed of the cooling fan 13 dynamically changes with the relative value, which is established in advance.
It should be noted that the type of the calculation model can be selected, and the calculation model can be trained by using a large number of the rotation speeds and the relative values of the cooling fan 13, the input of the calculation model is the relative value of the actual discharge pressure and the actual suction pressure of the compressor 21, and the output of the calculation model is the rotation speed of the fan 13. Among them, the method of model training is already common and is not described herein. In the above calculation model, the rotation speed of the cooling fan 13 is positively correlated with the relative value.
As a preferred implementation of the above control method provided in this embodiment, step S5 includes: the rotational speed of the cooling fan 13 is determined based on the relative value and a functional relationship between the rotational speed of the cooling fan 13 and the relative value established in advance.
It should be noted that the functional relationship is a substantially simple calculation model, and the functional relationship between the rotation speed and the relative value of the cooling fan 13 can be established by solving the parameter values of the fitting function. In the above functional relationship, the rotation speed of the cooling fan 13 is positively correlated with the relative value.
In the case of adopting the above-described embodiment, the present embodiment controls the cooling fan 13 by also controlling the cooling fan 13 based on the relative value between the actual exhaust pressure and the actual intake pressure when the actual water temperature is between the first temperature threshold and the second temperature threshold. In the process of controlling the cooling fan 13, the influence of the relative value between the actual exhaust pressure and the actual suction pressure on the working capacity of the compressor 21 is also considered on the basis of considering the influence of the actual water temperature on the working capacity of the compressor 21, so that the problem of alarm shutdown of the compressor 21 is basically solved.
As a preferred implementation of the above control method provided in this embodiment, the cooling tower 1 further includes a water tank and a spray device disposed above the water tank, and a water pump is connected between the spray device and the water tank; the control method further comprises the following steps: and controlling the water pump based on the relative value.

Or the water tank and the shower are used only for cooling the surface cooler 12 in the cooling tower 1, and the surface cooler 12 is connected to the first water circulation line 41 through the water outlet 122 thereof.
