In the related art, the distributed refrigeration equipment mostly adopts a primary refrigerant and secondary refrigerant mixed refrigeration mode to refrigerate a freezing end and a refrigerating end, and the refrigerating end is a plurality of refrigerating box bodies connected in parallel. The inventor finds that the basic control logic of the distributed refrigeration equipment is as follows, when the temperature of a certain box body reaches the starting temperature of the box body, refrigeration is requested, and a refrigeration passage of a corresponding pipeline is opened and starts to refrigerate; when the temperature of a certain box body reaches the shutdown temperature of the box body, the shutdown is requested, and the refrigeration passage of the corresponding pipeline is closed and stops refrigerating. Therefore, the running condition of the control logic often exists that one box starts to return to the temperature after being stopped, and the other box reaches the starting temperature to request refrigeration, so that the refrigeration request of the refrigeration end is poor in synchronism and frequent, and the refrigeration request of the refrigeration end is more frequent under the condition that the number of the refrigeration boxes connected in parallel is more. Therefore, the refrigerating end box body cannot obtain enough cold for a long time, so that the refrigerating end box body is in a high-temperature state, cannot reach the refrigerating temperature required by storage, and storage of articles is influenced. Particularly, in the case where the target freezing temperature of the freezing-end tank is lower, the influence on the freezing end is more serious.

Therefore, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for controlling a refrigeration apparatus. Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a refrigeration apparatus provided in the present application. The refrigeration equipment 100 includes a first refrigeration system 110 for circulating a first refrigerant, a second refrigeration system 130 for circulating a second refrigerant, and a heat exchange device 120. The first refrigerant and the second refrigerant respectively flow through the heat exchanging device 120 for heat exchange.

The first refrigeration system 110 includes a compressor 111, a condenser 112, a throttle control assembly 117, and a first evaporator 113, which are sequentially connected in series to form a circuit. Throttle control assembly 117 has one inlet and two outlets. The output end of the first evaporator 113 is connected with the input end of the compressor 111, the output end of the compressor 111 is connected with the input end of the condenser 112, the output end of the condenser 112 is connected with the inlet of the throttle control assembly 117, and the first outlet of the throttle control assembly 117 is connected with the input end of the first evaporator 113. A first refrigerant flows in the first refrigeration system 110 in a circulating manner, the compressor 111 provides power for the circulation of the first refrigerant, the first refrigerant enters the condenser 112, is changed into a liquid state after exchanging heat with ambient air, passes through the throttle control assembly 117, and enters the first evaporator 113 for refrigerating the first compartment.

The second refrigeration system 130 includes a power element 131, a liquid carrying tank 134 and a second evaporator group 132 connected in series in sequence to form a circuit. A second refrigerant flows in the second refrigeration system 130 in a circulating manner, the power member 131 provides power for the second refrigerant in a circulating manner, the liquid carrying tank 134 stores the second refrigerant, the second evaporator group 132 is used for refrigerating the second compartment, the second evaporator group 132 includes a plurality of sub-evaporators 133, and each sub-evaporator 133 is located in one second compartment. The second refrigerant flows through the plurality of sub-evaporators 133 of the refrigeration apparatus 100, which are disposed in parallel, to refrigerate the second compartment.

The heat exchanging device 120 includes a first input, a second input, a first output, and a second output. The first input communicates with the condenser 112. The first output port communicates with the first evaporator 113. The second input communicates with the carrier tank 134. The second output communicates with a second evaporator group 132. After flowing out of the condenser 112, the low-temperature first refrigerant enters the first input end through the second outlet of the throttling control assembly 117, flows to the heat exchanging device 120, and flows out of the first output end to the first evaporator 113. After flowing out of the liquid carrying tank 134, the second refrigerant may flow from the second input end to the heat exchanging device 120, and the second refrigerant absorbs the cold energy of the first refrigerant in the heat exchanging device 120 and flows out of the second output end to the second evaporator group 132. Therefore, the first refrigeration system 110 can refrigerate the first compartment through the first evaporator 113, the first refrigeration system 110 can also provide refrigeration capacity for the second refrigeration system 130 through the heat exchange device 120, and the second refrigerant after being cooled is conveyed to the second evaporator group 132 through the pipeline of the second refrigeration system 130, and is refrigerated for the second compartment by the second evaporator group 132.

In some embodiments, the heat exchange device 120 includes a heat exchange chamber 121, a first heat exchange tube, and a second heat exchange tube (not shown in the figures). A heat exchange medium 123 is provided in the heat exchange chamber 121. The first heat exchanging pipe 122 is disposed in the heat exchanging chamber 121. An input end of the first heat exchange pipe 122 is communicated with a second outlet of the throttle control assembly 117, and an output end of the first heat exchange pipe 122 is communicated with the first evaporator 113. The second heat exchange pipe is disposed in the heat exchange chamber 121. The input end of the second heat exchange tube is communicated with the carrier liquid tank 134, and the output end of the second heat exchange tube is communicated with the second evaporator group 132. The input end of the first heat exchanging pipe 122 is the first input end, and the output end of the first heat exchanging pipe 122 is the first output end. The input end of the second heat exchange tube is the second input end, and the output end of the second heat exchange tube is the second output end.

Since the first heat exchanging pipe 122 communicates the condenser 112 and the first evaporator 113, the low-temperature first refrigerant flowing out of the condenser 112 can flow to the first heat exchanging pipe 122 and then to the first evaporator 113. The heat exchange medium 123 in the heat exchange chamber 121 can exchange heat with the first heat exchange tube 122, and the first refrigerant absorbs heat of the heat exchange medium 123 and reduces the temperature of the heat exchange medium 123. Meanwhile, the second heat exchange tube can exchange heat with the heat exchange medium 123, and the heat exchange medium 123 absorbs heat of the second refrigerant, so that the temperature of the second refrigerant is reduced. Therefore, when the first refrigerant and the second refrigerant flow through the heat exchanging device 120, the first refrigerant and the second refrigerant can exchange heat in the heat exchanging device 120. The second refrigerant is reduced in temperature to obtain a cooling capacity and circulated in the second refrigeration system 130 for cooling the second compartment.

In some embodiments, the throttle control assembly 117 includes a three-way solenoid valve 116. The three-way solenoid valve 116 has a first inlet port 1161, a first outlet port 1162, and a second outlet port 1163. The output end of the condenser 112 is connected to the first inlet port 1161, the first outlet port 1162 is connected to the input end of the first evaporator 113, and the second outlet port 1163 is connected to the first input end of the heat exchanging device 120. The first outlet port 1162 and the second outlet port 1163 of the three-way solenoid valve 116 cannot be opened simultaneously, and when the first outlet port 1162 is opened, the second outlet port 1163 is closed; when the first outlet port 1162 is closed, the second outlet port 1163 is opened.

The flow direction of the first refrigerant can be controlled by providing the three-way solenoid valve 116. When the first outlet port 1162 is opened, the first refrigerant flows through the compressor 111, the condenser 112, the three-way solenoid valve 116 to the first evaporator 113, and the first refrigerant provides all cooling energy for the first evaporator 113. When the second outlet port 1163 is opened, the first refrigerant flows through the compressor 111, the condenser 112, the three-way solenoid valve 116, and the heat exchanging device 120 to the first evaporator 113, and since the first refrigerant exchanges heat with the second refrigerant at the heat exchanging device 120, the temperature of the first refrigerant is greatly increased and the cooling capacity acting on the first chamber is reduced when the first refrigerant finally flows through the first evaporator 113.

Each second compartment has a respective first start-up temperature Tki and first stop temperature Tti, since the target cooling temperature is different for each second compartment. And when any second compartment temperature is less than or equal to the first shutdown temperature Tti of the compartment after the refrigeration equipment is started, acquiring a shutdown request of the compartment. And when any second compartment temperature is greater than or equal to the first starting temperature Tki of the compartment, acquiring a refrigeration request of the compartment. The lowest preset temperature MIN (Tti) is set as the first shutdown temperature Tti at which the temperature is lowest.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic flowchart illustrating a control method of a refrigeration apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. For ease of understanding, reference is also made to fig. 1.

The control method of the refrigeration equipment comprises the following steps:

s11: and starting.

Specifically, the compressor 111, the condenser 112, the first evaporator 113, and the second evaporator group 132 are turned on, so that the refrigeration apparatus 100 starts to operate.

S12: and judging whether the difference between the lowest preset temperature MIN (Tti) and the current temperature Tw of the second refrigerant in the liquid carrying tank is greater than or equal to a first preset difference value. If not, go to step S13; if yes, go to step S14.

In some embodiments, the first predetermined difference is set according to the cold storage capacity of the second refrigerant and the time acting on the second evaporator group 132. In this embodiment, the first predetermined difference is set to 5 ℃. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether MIN (Tti) -Tw.gtoreq.5 ℃.

In some embodiments, the step of determining whether the difference between the minimum preset temperature min (tti) and the current temperature Tw of the second refrigerant in the liquid carrying tank is greater than or equal to a first preset difference value comprises:

and acquiring the current temperature Tw of the second refrigerant in the liquid carrying tank every other first preset time, and judging whether the current temperature Tw of the second refrigerant in the liquid carrying tank subtracted from the lowest preset temperature MIN (Tti) is greater than or equal to a first preset difference value or not.

In some embodiments, the step of determining whether the difference between the minimum preset temperature min (tti) and the current temperature Tw of the second refrigerant in the liquid carrying tank is greater than or equal to a first preset difference may further include:

when a shutdown request of at least one second compartment is acquired, the current temperature Tw of the second refrigerant in the carrier tank is acquired, and then it is determined whether the current temperature Tw of the second refrigerant in the carrier tank subtracted from the lowest preset temperature min (tti) is greater than or equal to a first preset difference.

In some embodiments, the current temperature Tsi of each second compartment is obtained every second preset time, and it is determined whether the current temperature Tsi of at least one second compartment is lower than the first shutdown temperature Tti, and if so, it is determined that a shutdown request of at least one second compartment is obtained.

After the start, it is determined whether the minimum preset temperature min (tti) minus the current temperature Tw of the second refrigerant in the liquid carrying tank is greater than or equal to a first preset difference, and it can be determined whether the second refrigerant has enough cooling capacity to supply the second refrigeration system 130 for refrigeration, so as to determine the flow path of the first refrigerant, and avoid the problem of frequent switching of the three-way solenoid valve 116, which results in the back-and-forth switching of the flow path of the first refrigerant, and thus determine the optimal path after the refrigeration equipment 100 starts.

S13: and closing the first outlet, opening the second outlet, opening the power element or maintaining the opening state of the power element, and continuously judging whether the current temperature of the second refrigerant in the liquid carrying tank subtracted from the lowest preset temperature is greater than or equal to a first preset difference value or not.

Specifically, after the second refrigerant is judged to lack sufficient cooling capacity to be used for the second refrigeration system 130 to refrigerate, the first refrigeration system 110 preferentially provides cooling capacity for the second refrigeration system 130 through the heat exchange device 120. Therefore, the three-way solenoid valve 116 receives the signal to close the first outlet port 1162, open the second outlet port 1163, and open the power element 131. The first refrigerant passes through the compressor 111, the condenser 112, the three-way solenoid valve 116, the heat exchanger 120, and then to the first evaporator 113. The second refrigerant passes through the liquid-carrying tank 134, the heat exchanging device 120 and then to the second evaporator set 132. The first refrigerant exchanges heat with the second refrigerant at the heat exchanging device 120, so that the refrigeration equipment 100 preferentially refrigerates the second compartment, and has less refrigeration capacity for the first compartment.

S14: and opening the first outlet, closing the second outlet, and opening or maintaining the power member in an open state.

Specifically, when the minimum preset temperature min (tti) minus the current temperature Tw of the second refrigerant in the liquid-carrying tank is determined to be greater than or equal to the first preset difference, the temperature of the second refrigerant is low enough, the first refrigeration system 110 does not need to provide cooling capacity for the second refrigeration system 130, and the second refrigeration system 130 can use the cooling capacity of the second refrigerant to refrigerate the second compartment. Therefore, the three-way solenoid valve 116 receives the signal to open the first outlet port 1162, close the second outlet port 1163, and open the power element 131. The first refrigerant passes through the compressor 111, the condenser 112, and the three-way solenoid valve 116 to the first evaporator 113. The first refrigerant does not need to exchange heat with the second refrigerant at the heat exchange device 120, so that the cold energy of the first refrigeration system 110 is completely used for refrigerating the first compartment. The time for the first compartment to obtain sufficient cooling capacity is extended so that the first compartment can maintain the target cooling temperature.

S15: judging whether the minimum preset temperature MIN (Tti) minus the current temperature Tw of a second refrigerant in the liquid carrying tank is less than or equal to a second preset difference value, wherein the second preset difference value is less than the first preset difference value; if yes, go back to step S13; if not, whether the difference between the lowest preset temperature MIN (Tti) and the current temperature Tw of the second refrigerant in the liquid carrying tank is less than or equal to a second preset difference value is continuously judged.

Specifically, a second preset difference is set according to the cold storage capacity of the second refrigerant and the time acting on the second evaporator group 132. In this embodiment, the second predetermined difference is set to 1 ℃. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether MIN (Tti) -Tw.ltoreq.1 ℃.

In some embodiments, the step of determining whether the difference between the lowest preset temperature min (tti) and the current temperature Tw of the second refrigerant in the liquid-carrying tank is less than or equal to a second preset difference value comprises:

and acquiring the current temperature Tw of the second refrigerant in the liquid carrying tank every third preset time, and judging whether the current temperature Tw of the second refrigerant in the liquid carrying tank subtracted from the lowest preset temperature MIN (Tti) is less than or equal to a second preset difference value or not.

In some embodiments, the step of determining whether the difference between the minimum preset temperature min (tti) and the current temperature Tw of the second refrigerant in the liquid-carrying tank is less than or equal to a second preset difference may further include:

when a refrigeration request of at least one second compartment is obtained, whether the difference between the lowest preset temperature MIN (Tti) and the current temperature Tw of the second refrigerant in the carrier liquid tank is smaller than or equal to a second preset difference value or not is judged.

In some embodiments, the current temperature Tsi of each second compartment is obtained every fourth preset time, whether the current temperature Tsi of at least one second compartment is higher than the first starting temperature Tki is judged, and if yes, it is judged that the refrigeration request of at least one second compartment is obtained.

Specifically, when the minimum preset temperature min (tti) minus the current temperature Tw of the second refrigerant in the liquid-carrying tank is less than or equal to a second preset difference, the temperature of the second refrigerant has been greatly increased, and the accumulated cold of the second refrigerant is about to be used up, it is necessary for the first refrigeration system 110 to continue to provide cold for the second refrigeration system 130 through the heat exchange device 120. Therefore, the three-way solenoid valve 116 receives the signal, closes the first outlet port 1162, opens the second outlet port 1163, and maintains the open state of the power element 131. The first refrigerant passes through the compressor 111, the condenser 112, the three-way solenoid valve 116, and the heat exchanging device 120 to the first evaporator 113. The first refrigerant needs to exchange heat with the second refrigerant at the heat exchanging device 120, so that the cooling capacity of the first refrigeration system 110 is largely used for supplying refrigeration to the second refrigeration system 130, so that the cooling capacity of all the second compartments in the second refrigeration system 130 is enough to maintain the target refrigeration temperature of all the second compartments. When the minimum preset temperature min (tti) minus the current temperature Tw of the second refrigerant in the liquid-carrying tank is greater than the second preset difference, the cooling capacity of the second refrigerant is not greatly increased, and the second refrigerant can also continue to supply cooling to the second refrigeration system 130, so as to maintain the stability of the refrigeration of the second compartment, and thus the first refrigeration system 110 is not required to supply cooling capacity to the second refrigeration system 130.

To save the cooling capacity of the second refrigeration system 130, the power consumption of the power member 131 is saved to the maximum extent to avoid unnecessary waste. Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic flow chart of another embodiment of a control method of a refrigeration apparatus according to the present application. For ease of understanding, reference is also made to fig. 1.

The control method of the refrigeration apparatus 100 includes:

s141: it is determined whether all of the second compartments have issued shutdown requests. If yes, go to S142; otherwise, execution continues with S15.

In some embodiments, every fifth preset time, the current temperature Tsi of each second chamber is obtained, and whether the current temperature Tsi of each second chamber is lower than the first shutdown temperature Tti of each second chamber is determined one by one.

S142: if so, the power member is closed or the closed state of the power member is maintained.

Specifically, when the current temperature Tsi of all the second chambers is lower than the first shutdown temperature Tti of each second chamber, that is, all the second chambers do not need to be cooled continuously, the second refrigerant does not need to be used for the second evaporator group 132 to cool the second chambers, and the power component 131 does not need to continuously provide power for the flow of the second refrigerant. Thus, shutting off the power member 131 can save power consumption and avoid unnecessary waste. Meanwhile, because the power element 131 generates heat during operation, a part of the generated heat will act on the second refrigeration system 130, which increases the heat of the second refrigeration system 130 and shortens the time for the second refrigerant to refrigerate the second refrigeration system 130. Therefore, when the second compartment does not need to be refrigerated, the power part 131 is turned off, which not only avoids the waste of power consumption, but also reduces the generation of heat, prolongs the refrigerating time of the second refrigerant, and also prolongs the time for the first compartment to obtain enough cold energy, so that the first compartment can maintain the target refrigerating temperature. When the current temperature Tsi of any second compartment is higher than the first shutdown temperature Tti, i.e., there is a second compartment that needs the second refrigeration system 130 to continue to provide cold for it, the power element 131 does not need to be turned off.

In some embodiments, in order to prolong the cooling time of the second refrigerant, as shown in fig. 4, the temperature reduction rate of the second compartments is shown by the control method provided by the present application. Each second compartment is also set to have a respective second shutdown temperature Tti 'and second startup temperature Tki', the first startup temperature Tki being higher than the second startup temperature Tki 'and the second shutdown temperature Tti' being higher than the first shutdown temperature Tti. In some embodiments, the second shutdown temperature Tti '= (Tti + Tki)/2-X (Tki-Tti), and the second startup temperature Tki' = (Tti + Tki)/2 + X (Tki-Tti), where X is an adjustment index and has a value less than 0.5 and is adjustable as needed. Because the power member 131 generates heat during operation, if the second compartment frequently sends a refrigeration or shutdown request, the second refrigerant brings the heat generated by the power member 131 into the second compartment, and the cold consumption of the liquid-carrying tank 134 is further accelerated. By the arrangement, the difference between the second shutdown temperature and the second startup temperature can be prevented from being too small, the second compartment is prevented from frequently initiating shutdown requirements and refrigeration requirements, and accordingly the refrigeration capacity consumption in the liquid carrying tank 134 is reduced.

As shown in fig. 4, R1, R2 and R3 correspond to cooling rate curves of the three second compartments, and the cooling temperature of R1 is higher than that of R2 and higher than that of R3. Therefore, the first shutdown temperature Tt1 of R1 is greater than the first shutdown temperature Tt2 of R2 is greater than the first shutdown temperature Tt3 of R3, and similarly, the first startup temperature Tk1 of R1 is greater than the first startup temperature Tk2 of R2 is greater than the first startup temperature Tk3 of R3.

Specifically, after the step S13 of closing the first outlet, opening the second outlet, and opening the power element or maintaining the power element in the open state, the step S12 of determining whether the lowest preset temperature minus the current temperature of the second refrigerant in the liquid-carrying tank is greater than or equal to the first preset difference further includes:

and acquiring the current temperature Tsi of each second compartment every sixth preset time, and when the current temperature Tsi of any one second compartment is lower than the first shutdown temperature Tti, all the second compartments acquire shutdown requests of the second compartments according to whether the current temperature Tsi of the second compartment is lower than the second shutdown temperature Tti ', and all the second compartments acquire refrigeration requests of the second compartments according to whether the current temperature Tsi of the second compartment is higher than the second startup temperature Tki'.

That is, the second compartment receives cooling and starts to cool after the start, when the temperature of R1 is decreased to T1s, that is, the current temperature of R1 is the first shutdown temperature Tt1, and at this time, R1, R2, and R3 start to obtain a shutdown request or a cooling request according to the second shutdown temperature Tti 'and the second startup temperature Tki'. When the temperature of R1 is less than or equal to the second shutdown temperature Tt 1' of the compartment, acquiring a shutdown request of the compartment; when the temperature of the R1 is greater than or equal to the second starting temperature Tk 1' of the compartment, the starting request of the compartment is obtained. Similarly, when the temperature of R2 is less than or equal to the second shutdown temperature Tt 2' of the compartment, a shutdown request of the compartment is obtained; when the temperature of the R2 is greater than or equal to the second starting temperature Tk 2' of the compartment, the starting request of the compartment is obtained. When the temperature of R3 is less than or equal to the second shutdown temperature Tt 3' of the compartment, acquiring a shutdown request of the compartment; when the temperature of the R3 is greater than or equal to the second starting temperature Tk 3' of the compartment, the starting request of the compartment is obtained.

By setting the second shutdown temperature Tti 'and the second startup temperature Tki', the startup/shutdown temperature difference of the second compartment is reduced, so that the cooling capacity required to be provided by the second refrigerant is reduced, the power of the power component 131 is reduced, the flow rate of the second refrigerant in the second refrigeration system 130 is reduced, and the refrigeration time of the second refrigerant is further prolonged.

Thus, in some embodiments, for steps S141, S142: judging whether all the second compartments send out shutdown requests or not, if so, closing the power part or maintaining the closed state of the power part; if not, the judgment is continuously carried out to judge whether the lowest preset temperature minus the current temperature of the second refrigerant in the liquid carrying tank is less than or equal to a second preset difference value. Specifically, the current temperature Tsi of each second chamber is obtained every fifth preset time, and whether the current temperature Tsi of each second chamber is lower than the second shutdown temperature Tti' of each second chamber is determined one by one. That is, when the current temperature Tsi of all the second compartments is lower than the second shutdown temperature Tti' of each second compartment, that is, all the second compartments do not need to continue cooling, so that the second refrigerant does not need to continue to provide cooling energy for the second cooling system 130, and the power member 131 does not need to continue to provide power for the flow of the second refrigerant.

In some embodiments, for step S15: and judging whether the difference between the lowest preset temperature MIN (Tti) and the current temperature Tw of the second refrigerant in the liquid carrying tank is less than or equal to a second preset difference value, wherein the second preset difference value is less than the first preset difference value.

Specifically, in some embodiments, when a cooling request of at least one second compartment is obtained, it is determined whether the minimum preset temperature min (tti) minus the current temperature Tw of the second refrigerant in the carrier tank is less than or equal to a second preset difference. Specifically, the current temperature Tsi of each second compartment is obtained every fourth preset time, whether the current temperature Tsi of at least one second compartment is higher than the second starting temperature Tki' or not is judged, and if yes, the refrigeration request of at least one second compartment is obtained.

In some embodiments, after it is determined at S15 that the difference between the lowest preset temperature and the current temperature of the second refrigerant in the liquid-carrying tank is smaller than or equal to a second preset difference, all the second compartments obtain the shutdown request of the second compartment according to whether the lowest preset temperature is lower than the first shutdown temperature Tti, and all the second compartments obtain the refrigeration request of the second compartment according to whether the lowest preset temperature minus the current temperature of the second refrigerant in the liquid-carrying tank is higher than the first startup temperature Tki. When the lowest preset temperature MIN (Tti) minus the current temperature Tw of the second refrigerant in the liquid carrying tank is less than or equal to a second preset difference value, the second compartment recovers the original refrigeration logic, and the second compartment does not obtain the shutdown request of the compartment according to whether the current temperature of the compartment is lower than the second shutdown temperature Tti 'or not and does not obtain the refrigeration request of the compartment according to whether the current temperature of the second compartment is higher than the second startup temperature Tki'. And when the second compartment temperature is greater than or equal to the first starting temperature of the compartment, the refrigerating request of the compartment is obtained.

As shown in fig. 4, when the refrigeration apparatus 100 is turned on to Tws, the lowest preset temperature min (Tti) of the refrigeration apparatus 100 minus the current temperature Tw of the second refrigerant in the liquid-carrying tank is less than or equal to a second preset difference, and at this time, R1, R2, and R3 all resume to obtain the shutdown request and the refrigeration request according to the first shutdown temperature Tti and the first startup temperature Tki. When the temperature of R1 is less than or equal to the first shutdown temperature Tt1 of the compartment, acquiring a shutdown request of the compartment; when the temperature of the R1 is greater than or equal to the first starting temperature Tk1 of the compartment, the starting request of the compartment is obtained. Similarly, when the temperature of R2 is less than or equal to the first shutdown temperature Tt2 of the compartment, a shutdown request of the compartment is obtained; when the temperature of the R2 is greater than or equal to the first starting temperature Tk2 of the compartment, the starting request of the compartment is obtained. When the temperature of R3 is less than or equal to the first shutdown temperature Tt3 of the compartment, acquiring a shutdown request of the compartment; when the temperature of the R3 is greater than or equal to the first starting temperature Tk3 of the compartment, the starting request of the compartment is obtained.

Returning to step S13, the first refrigeration system 110 preferentially provides cooling energy to the second refrigeration system 130 through the heat exchange device 120. Therefore, the three-way solenoid valve 116 receives the signal to close the first outlet port 1162, open the second outlet port 1163, open the power element 131 or maintain the power element 131 in an open state. The first refrigerant passes through the compressor 111, the condenser 112, the three-way solenoid valve 116, the heat exchanger 120, and then to the first evaporator 113. The second refrigerant passes through the liquid-carrying tank 134, the heat exchanging device 120 and then to the second evaporator set 132. The first refrigerant exchanges heat with the second refrigerant at the heat exchanging device 120, so that the refrigeration equipment 100 gives priority to the refrigeration to the second compartment again, and the refrigeration capacity for the first compartment is less.

As shown in fig. 4, compared with the control logic of the original refrigeration equipment 100 that is entirely based on the first on-off temperature, the control logic of the control method provided by the present application utilizes the function of cold storage of the liquid carrying tank 134, and when the cold accumulated in the second refrigerant in the liquid carrying tank 134 is sufficient, the cold of the first refrigeration system 110 is entirely applied to the first compartment, so as to ensure that the first compartment can maintain sufficient cold for refrigeration, and the control method of the present application creates the refrigeration time Tws-T1s for the first compartment compared with the original control method.

In some embodiments, whether the second compartment is in a cooling state may be controlled by controlling the opening or closing of the second evaporator group 132. When a cooling request for any one of the second compartments is received, the sub-evaporator 133 receives a signal to start operation, and starts cooling the second compartment. When a shutdown request for any one of the second compartments is received, the sub-evaporator 133 stops operating upon receiving a signal, and stops cooling the second compartment.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, the second refrigeration system 130 includes an output main 135, an output return main 136, a plurality of output branch 137, and a plurality of output return branch 138. The input end of the output main pipe 135 is connected with the second output end of the heat exchange device 120. The output end of the main output pipe 135 is connected to the input end of each of the branch output pipes 137. The plurality of output branched pipes 137 are provided in one-to-one correspondence with the sub-evaporators 133. The output end of each output branched pipe 137 is connected to the corresponding sub-evaporator 133. The plurality of return branch pipes 138 are provided in one-to-one correspondence with the sub-evaporators 133. The input end of each input/output branch pipe 138 is connected to each sub-evaporator 133, and the output end of each input/output branch pipe 138 is connected to the input/output main pipe 136. The output end of the return main pipe 136 is connected with the input end of the power element 131. The second refrigerant flowing out of the heat exchanger 120 is respectively delivered to the output branch pipes 137 through the output main pipe 135, and is delivered to the corresponding sub-evaporators 133. The second refrigerant flows back to the corresponding return branch pipe 138 through the sub-evaporator 133, flows back to the return main pipe 136 through the return branch pipe 138, and flows to the power element 131 through the return main pipe 136. Specifically, the sub-evaporator 133 may be provided with one, two, three, four, or more.

Wherein, the input end of the output branch pipe 137 is connected with the output end of the output main pipe 135 through a quick coupling, and the output end of the output branch pipe 137 is connected with the input end of the sub-evaporator 133 through a quick coupling. The input end of the input/output branch pipe 138 is connected to the output end of the sub-evaporator 133 through a quick coupling, and the output end of the input/output branch pipe 138 is connected to the input end of the input/output main pipe 136 through a quick coupling. Through quick-operation joint connecting line, can improve installation convenience and security.

Through setting up second evaporator group 132 into a plurality of parallelly connected sub-evaporators 133, the second refrigerant can be carried to each sub-evaporator 133 by the pipeline in, supplies each sub-evaporator 133 to be the cooling of second compartment respectively to increase second compartment distribution quantity, promote the storing space, improve refrigeration plant 100's variety, satisfy user's demand.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, each sub-evaporator 133 is connected in series with a switching valve 139. Each of the switching valves 139 may control whether the second refrigerant flows into the sub-evaporator 133, so as to control whether the sub-evaporator 133 starts or stops cooling of the second compartment. Each switching valve 139 is provided at an input end of the sub-evaporator 133. When the on-off valve 139 is opened, the second refrigerant flows into the sub-evaporator 133 after passing through the on-off valve 139, thereby starting cooling of the second compartment. When the on-off valve 139 is closed, the second refrigerant cannot flow into the sub-evaporator 133 through the on-off valve 139, and thus the cooling of the second compartment cannot be turned on.

When a refrigeration request of any one of the second chambers is acquired, the switch valve 139 is opened upon receiving a signal, and the second refrigerant flows into the sub-evaporator 133 through the switch valve 139 to start refrigeration of the second chamber. When a shutdown request for any one of the second chambers is received, the on-off valve 139 is closed upon receiving the signal, and the second refrigerant cannot flow into the sub-evaporator 133, and refrigeration for the second chamber cannot be started.

The present application further provides that the control member 140 includes a sensing module and a control module.

The sensing module is used for detecting the temperature of the second refrigerant in the liquid carrying tank 134 and the temperature of the second compartment. Specifically, the temperature of the second refrigerant in the liquid-carrying tank 134 may be detected by a temperature sensor. The outlet of the three-way solenoid valve 116 is controlled by subtracting the detected current temperature of the second refrigerant in the liquid carrying tank 134 from the lowest preset temperature to determine whether the current temperature is greater than or equal to a first preset difference value or less than or equal to a second preset difference value. The temperature of the second compartment may be detected by a temperature sensor, and the temperature may be compared with the first on-off temperature or the second on-off temperature to control the cooling of the second compartment.

The control module is connected with the sensing module and further comprises an electromagnetic valve module, a refrigeration module and a timing module.

Specifically, the solenoid valve module may control the opening and closing of the outlet of the three-way solenoid valve 116. When the step S13 is determined to be executed, the solenoid valve module controls the three-way solenoid valve 116 to close the first outlet port 1162 and open the second outlet port 1163. The first refrigerant passes through the compressor 111, the condenser 112, the three-way solenoid valve 116, the heat exchanger 120, and then to the first evaporator 113. The first refrigerant exchanges heat with the second refrigerant at the heat exchange device 120, so that the refrigeration equipment preferentially gives refrigeration to the second compartment, and the refrigeration capacity for the first compartment is less. When the step S14 is determined to be executed, the solenoid valve module controls the three-way solenoid valve 116 to open the first outlet port 1162 and close the second outlet port 1163. The first refrigerant passes through the compressor 111, the condenser 112, the three-way solenoid valve 116, and reaches the first evaporator 113. The first refrigerant does not need to exchange heat with the second refrigerant at the heat exchange device 120, so that the cold energy of the first refrigeration system 110 is completely used for refrigerating the first compartment. The time for the first compartment to obtain sufficient cooling capacity is extended so that the first compartment can maintain the target cooling temperature.

Specifically, the refrigeration module is used for controlling refrigeration of the second chamber. When the current temperature of the second chamber is lower than the first shutdown temperature or the second shutdown temperature, the refrigeration module controls the sub-evaporator 133 to be started or controls the switch valve 139 to be started, so that the second refrigerant is used for the sub-evaporator 133 to start refrigeration of the second chamber. When the current temperature of the second compartment is higher than the first start-up temperature or the second start-up temperature, the refrigeration module controls the sub-evaporator 133 to close or controls the switch valve 139 to close, so that the second refrigerant cannot act on the sub-evaporator 133 to stop refrigerating the second compartment.

Specifically, the timing module times the first preset time, the second preset time, the third preset time, the fourth preset time, the fifth preset time and the sixth preset time. After the refrigeration equipment 100 is started, the timing module starts timing, and when the timing is finished, the temperature sensor starts to detect the temperature of the second refrigerant in the liquid carrying tank and the temperature of the second chamber. The time may be measured using a timer, may be measured over the internet via a wired or wireless network, or may be measured using other associated devices.

In some embodiments, the liquid-carrying tank 134 and the heat exchanging device 120 may be disposed in an insulating layer, so as to reduce the leakage of cold from the liquid-carrying tank 134. The heat exchanging device 120 can also be arranged in the liquid carrying tank 134, so that the volume of the refrigeration equipment 100 is saved.

Since the lowest temperature achievable by the first refrigeration system 110 is lower than the lowest temperature achievable by the second refrigeration system 130, the first compartment is typically a freezer compartment and the first evaporator 113 can be used to cool the freezer compartment. The second compartment is typically a refrigeration compartment and the sub-evaporator 133 may be used to cool the refrigeration compartment.

In some embodiments, the first refrigeration system 110 further includes a filter 118. The filter 118 performs a filtering function in the circulation of the first refrigerant. The first refrigeration system 110 further includes an accumulator 119 for storing the first refrigerant.

In some embodiments, the throttle control assembly 117 further comprises a first throttle assembly 114, a second throttle assembly 115. The first inlet end 1161 of the three-way solenoid valve 116 communicates with the output end of the condenser 112. The first outlet port 1162 communicates with the input port of the first throttling element 114. The second outlet port 1163 communicates with the input port of the second throttling element 115. The output end of the first throttling member 114 communicates with the first evaporator 113. The output end of the second throttling element 115 is communicated with a heat exchange device 120. The first refrigerant output from the condenser 112 may flow to the first evaporator 113 through the three-way solenoid valve 116 and the first throttling part 114; the first refrigerant output from the condenser 112 may further flow to the heat exchanging device 120 through the three-way solenoid valve 116 and the second throttling element 115, and then flow from the heat exchanging device 120 to the first evaporator 113.

The first throttling element 114 may be a capillary tube. The second orifice 115 may employ an electronic expansion valve. The smaller the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is, the lower the evaporation temperature of the first refrigerant is, and the faster the temperature decreases. The opening degree of the electronic expansion valve can be correspondingly adjusted according to the cold quantity required by the second refrigeration system 130, so that the evaporation speed of the first refrigerant is adjusted, the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange device 120 is adjusted, and the refrigeration efficiency of the second refrigeration system 130 is accurately controlled. In other embodiments, the second orifice 115 may also include a multi-way valve and a plurality of capillaries. The plurality of capillaries have at least two inner diameters and/or lengths, and the inner diameters and/or lengths of the capillaries are different, so that the throttling effect of the capillaries is different, for example, the throttling effect is more obvious when the inner diameter of the capillary with the same length is smaller, and the throttling effect is more obvious when the length of the capillary with the same inner diameter is longer. The multi-way valve has an input end and a plurality of output ends. The input end of the multi-way valve is communicated with a second outlet end 1163 of the three-way electromagnetic valve 116. The multiple capillaries are connected in parallel, the input end of each capillary is connected with one output end of the multi-way valve, and the output end of each capillary is connected with the first input end of the heat exchange device 120. The opening degree of the second throttling element 115 can be adjusted by switching the capillary tubes with different inner diameters and/or lengths through the multi-way valve, and then the evaporation temperature of the first refrigerant can be adjusted.

Specifically, the power unit 131 may adopt a power pump or other power structure to drive the second refrigerant to circulate in the second refrigeration system 130. The power member 131 may be a water pump.

It should be noted that the first refrigerant and the second refrigerant may use the same or different refrigeration media. In order to reduce the usage amount of the traditional refrigerant and improve the environmental protection and safety, the second refrigerant can adopt water, glycol and the like.

In some embodiments, the first heat exchanging pipes 122 include at least two first pipe sections and at least one second pipe section, wherein the first pipe sections are arranged in an array along the first preset direction, and the second pipe sections sequentially connect two adjacent first pipe sections end to end, so that the first heat exchanging pipes 122 are arranged in a winding manner in the heat exchanging chamber 121, thereby increasing the contact area between the first heat exchanging pipes 122 and the heat exchanging medium 123 and improving the heat exchanging efficiency between the first refrigerant and the heat exchanging medium 123. Similarly, the second heat exchange tube may also include at least two third tube segments and at least one fourth tube segment, wherein the third tube segments are arranged in an array along the second preset direction, and the fourth tube segments sequentially connect two adjacent third tube segments end to end, so that the second heat exchange tube is arranged in a meandering manner in the heat exchange chamber 121, thereby increasing the contact area between the second heat exchange tube and the heat exchange medium 123, and improving the heat exchange efficiency of the second refrigerant and the heat exchange medium 123. Specifically, the heat exchange medium 123 may be a liquid, a gas or a solid, and is not limited herein. The heat exchange chamber 121 can be made of a heat insulation material, so that the loss of cold energy of the heat exchange medium 123 is avoided, and the heat insulation performance and the cold storage capacity of the heat exchange chamber 121 are improved.

In other embodiments, the heat exchange device 120 may also be a plate heat exchanger. The first refrigerant and the second refrigerant exchange heat through the plate heat exchanger, so that the first refrigeration system 110 can refrigerate for the first compartment through the first evaporator 113, the first refrigeration system 110 can also provide refrigeration for the second refrigeration system 130 through the heat exchange device 120, the second refrigerant after being cooled is conveyed to the second evaporator group 132 through a pipeline of the second refrigeration system 130, and the second compartment is refrigerated through the second evaporator group 132. In other embodiments, the heat exchanging device 120 may also be another heat exchanging structure for exchanging heat between the first refrigerant and the second refrigerant, and is not limited herein.

The pipelines of the first refrigeration system 110 and the second refrigeration system 130 are separately and independently arranged, the first refrigeration system 110 and the second refrigeration system 130 can refrigerate for different compartments respectively, the different compartments do not need to be arranged in a centralized mode, a certain distance can be reserved, the effect of remote distributed refrigeration is achieved, the utilization rate of the refrigeration systems is high, and the power consumption is low. In addition, because the second refrigeration system 130 exchanges heat with the first refrigeration system 110 through the heat exchange device 120, in the second refrigeration system 130, the use of structures such as the compressor 111 and the condenser 112 is avoided, the part cost is saved, the volume occupied by the second refrigeration system 130 is reduced, and the volume ratio of the compartment where the second refrigeration system 130 is located is improved. First refrigerating system and second refrigerating system pass through the heat transfer device heat transfer in this application, compare in a refrigerant refrigeration, the refrigerating system of the pure parallelly connected structure of evaporimeter, and this application reduces refrigerant pipeline length, and the splice reduces, has reduced the danger that the refrigerant revealed, and the security improves, and reduces the refrigerant use amount, and is more energy-concerving and environment-protective.

In addition, the power part is closed when the cold quantity of the second refrigerating system is enough and the temperature of the second chamber is lower than the shutdown temperature, so that the energy consumption of the second refrigerating system is reduced, and the cold storage refrigerating time of the second refrigerating system is prolonged. And a second starting temperature and a second stopping temperature are set, so that the power of the power part is reduced, the flow of a second refrigerant in the second refrigerating system is reduced, and the refrigerating time of the second refrigerating system is prolonged.
