Referring to fig. 1, a fan grouping diagram of an air conditioning system according to the present invention is representatively illustrated. In the exemplary embodiment, the air conditioning system provided by the present invention is described by taking an air-cooled screw chiller as an example. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications, additions, substitutions, deletions, or other changes may be made to the specific embodiments described below in order to utilize the teachings of the present invention in other types of air-cooled heat pump air conditioning systems or other air conditioning systems, and still be within the scope of the principles of the air conditioning systems as taught herein.
As shown in fig. 1, the air conditioning system provided by the present invention includes ten fans and a control unit. The fans are divided into four groups, and the 1 st group is a single group, that is, only one fan is included, for example, the 1.0 fan in fig. 1. The other three groups are complex groups, namely, the three groups comprise a plurality of fans, and each fan belonging to one complex group responds to the same control instruction. Specifically, group 2 includes two fans, such as the 2.1 fan and the 2.2 fan of fig. 1, group 3 includes three fans, such as the 3.1 fan, the 3.2 fan, and the 3.3 fan of fig. 1, and group 4 includes four fans, such as the 4.1 fan, the 4.2 fan, the 4.3 fan, and the 4.4 fan of fig. 1. On this basis, the control unit is coupled respectively in each fan group, and the control unit can select and control a set of or multiunit fan work, and makes air conditioning system can work with a plurality of amount of wind grades corresponding to different quantity fans. Through the design, the air conditioning system provided by the invention can meet various air output requirements in a mode of combining the fan sets, greatly simplifies the control layout of the control unit corresponding to the fan, and obviously reduces the consumption of a control scheme.
In this embodiment, the control unit selects and controls one or more sets of fans to operate, so that the air conditioning system can operate at ten air volume levels, which are 1 level to 10 levels, specifically referring to table 1 below:
air volume grade | Number of working fans | Working fan set | Air volume grade | Number of working fans | Working fan set |
Level 1 | 1 | 1 | Grade 6 | 6 | 2+4 or 1+2+3 |
Stage 2 | 2 | 2 | Stage 7 | 7 | 3+4 or 1+2+ |
Grade 3 | 3 | 3 or 1+2 | Stage 8 | 8 | 1+3+4 |
4 stage | 4 | 4 or 1+3 | Grade 9 | 9 | 2+3+4 |
Grade 5 | 5 | 1+4 or 2+3 | Grade 10 | 10 | 1+2+3+4 |
TABLE 1
In this embodiment, the number of fans operating at each air volume level is different. In other words, in some preferred embodiments according to the design concept of the present invention, the number of the air volume grades that can be output by the air conditioning system may be equal to the number of the fans, that is, when the number of the fans is n (n is a positive integer, and n ≧ 3), the number of the air volume grades is n, and the number of the fans corresponding to each air volume grade is 1, \8230;, n-1, n, respectively.
It should be understood that in other embodiments, the number of air volume levels that can be output by the air conditioning system may be less than the number of fans based on other groupings of fans. Taking an example that the air conditioning system includes ten fans (i.e., n = 10), the fans may be divided into three groups, and when the 1 st group includes one fan, the 2 nd group includes three fans, and the 3 rd group includes six fans, the number of air volume levels that the air conditioning system can output is seven, which are respectively 1 level to 7 levels, specifically referring to the following table 2:
air volume grade | Number of working fans | Working fan set | Air volume grade | Number of working fans | Working fan set |
Level 1 | 1 | 1 | Grade 5 | 7 | 1+3 |
Stage 2 | 3 | 2 | Grade 6 | 9 | 2+3 |
Grade 3 | 4 | 1+2 | Stage 7 | 10 | 1+2+3 |
4 stage | 6 | 3 |
TABLE 2
In summary, in various possible embodiments consistent with the design concept of the present invention, the air conditioning system may include at least three fans, the fans may be divided into multiple groups (only two groups when three fans are included), and the fan groups include at least one single group and at least one plural group, the single group includes one fan, and the plural group includes at least two fans. When the plurality of sets are plural, the number of the fans included in each of the plurality of sets may be equal, not completely equal, or not equal. Each fan belonging to a plurality of groups responds to the same control instruction. On the basis, the control unit is respectively coupled to each single array and the plurality of arrays. Accordingly, the control unit selects and controls one or more groups of fans to work, so that the air conditioning system can work at a plurality of air volume levels corresponding to fans of different numbers.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 1, on the basis of the design that the number of the air volume levels that can be output by the air conditioning system is equal to the number of the fans, in this embodiment, the number of the single arrays may be one. In other words, for all the fans, only one of the fans is a group, and the rest of the fans are respectively included in each of the plurality of groups. Therefore, when the air conditioning system realizes accurate gradual regulation and control by taking the number of the fans as the number of the air volume grades, the control layout of the control unit corresponding to the fans can be further simplified by limiting the fans to only contain one single array when the fans are grouped, and the consumption of the control scheme is further reduced.
In this regard, taking an air conditioning system including ten fans as an example, the grouping manner of the fans adopted in this embodiment reduces the number of the fan groups to a minimum, that is, four groups, while realizing accurate step-by-step regulation and control of the air conditioning system using the number of the fans as the number of air volume levels. It should be understood that when the air conditioning system includes four and more fans, the grouping of the fans need not be limited to one way to achieve the above design objectives.
For example, referring to fig. 2, a fan grouping diagram of an air conditioning system in another embodiment of the present invention is representatively illustrated. In this embodiment, an example in which the air conditioning system includes ten fans is still described. Wherein, these fans are divided into four groups, the 1 st group is a single array, such as the 1.0 fan in fig. 2. The other three groups are plural groups. Specifically, group 2 includes two fans, such as the 2.1 fan and the 2.2 fan in fig. 2, group 3 includes two fans, such as the 3.1 fan and the 3.2 fan in fig. 2, and group 4 includes five fans, such as the 4.1 fan, the 4.2 fan, the 4.3 fan, the 4.4 fan, and the 4.5 fan in fig. 2. In this embodiment, the control unit selects and controls one or more sets of fans to operate, and the air conditioning system can still operate at ten air volume levels, which are 1 level to 10 levels, specifically referring to the following table 3:
air volume grade | Number of working fans | Working fan set | Air volume grade | Number of working fans | Working fan set |
Level 1 | 1 | 1 | Grade 6 | 6 | 1+4 |
Stage 2 | 2 | 2 or 3 | Stage 7 | 7 | 2+4 or 3+4 |
Grade 3 | 3 | 1+2 or 1+3 | Stage 8 | 8 | 1+2+4 or 1+3+4 |
4 stage | 4 | 2+3 | Grade 9 | 9 | 2+3+4 |
Grade 5 | 5 | 1+2+3 or 4 | Grade 10 | 10 | 1+2+3+4 |

In this embodiment, an example in which the air conditioning system includes ten fans is still described. Wherein, these fans are divided into five groups, and the 1 st group is a single array, such as the 1.0 fan in fig. 3. The other four groups are a plurality of groups. Specifically, group 2 includes two fans, such as the 2.1 fan and the 2.2 fan in fig. 3, group 3 includes three fans, such as the 3.1 fan, the 3.2 fan, and the 3.3 fan in fig. 3, group 4 includes two fans, such as the 4.1 fan and the 4.2 fan in fig. 3, and group 5 includes two fans, such as the 5.1 fan and the 5.2 fan in fig. 3. In this embodiment, the control unit selects and controls one or more sets of fans to operate, and the air conditioning system can still operate at ten air volume levels, which are 1-10 levels, specifically referring to the following table 4:
air volume grade | Number of working fans | Working fan set |
Level 1 | 1 | 1 |
Stage 2 | 2 | 2 or 4 or 5 |
Grade 3 | 3 | 1+2 or 1+4 or 1+5 |

When the number of the fans included in the air conditioning system is odd, the number of the fans of the group including the largest number of the fans in the plurality of groups of fans is m 2 And m is 2 Not more than (n + 1), n not less than 3, i.e. the number of the fans of the group containing the most fansThe amount is not more than half of the total number of fans plus one.
Optionally, in this embodiment, the fan may be a variable frequency fan. On the basis, the control unit can specifically control the selected fan set to synchronously perform frequency modulation control on the fans of the fan set, so that the air conditioning system can further realize an accurate frequency modulation control function under each air volume grade.

On the basis, in the step of controlling the air conditioning system to work at a plurality of air volume grades, the number of the air volume grades can be equal to the number of the fans, and the number of the fans corresponding to each air volume grade is 1, \ 8230;, n-1, n respectively. Therefore, the control method can realize accurate step-by-step regulation and control of the air conditioning system by taking the number of the fans as the number of air volume grades.
Further, based on the design that the number of the air volume grades is equal to the number of the fans, in this embodiment, the air volume grades are defined as 1 grade, \8230 [ [ n-1] grade, and n grade, respectively, then the control method may further include the following steps:
when the air conditioning system is controlled to increase the air volume, the air conditioning system is controlled to output gradually increasing air volume grades. Specifically, the current output air volume level of the air conditioning system is defined as x level (x < n), and when the output air volume level of the air conditioning system needs to be increased, the air conditioning system is controlled to be adjusted in an increasing manner in the order of x level → 8230 \8230 [ \ 8230 [ [ n-1] level → n level. The above-described sequence is merely an example, and does not limit the adjustment to be increased to the highest air volume level (n levels) every time the adjustment is increased, that is, the adjustment may be increased by only the number of levels 1 to [ n-x-1], but may be increased in stages in accordance with the above-described sequence.
And when the air conditioning system is controlled to reduce the air volume, the air conditioning system is controlled to output the air volume grade which is gradually decreased step by step. Specifically, the current output air volume level of the air conditioning system is defined as x level (x is more than or equal to 2), and when the output air volume level of the air conditioning system needs to be reduced, the air conditioning system is controlled to be adjusted in an increasing manner in the order of x level → 8230 \ 8230; 2 level → 1 level. The above sequence is merely an example, and it is not limited that the air volume level must be increased to the highest air volume level (n levels) each time the adjustment is increased, that is, only the number of levels 1 to [ n-x-1] may be increased, but the air volume level may be increased in steps in accordance with the above sequence.
