The following describes an air conditioning system according to an embodiment of the present application.

Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an air conditioning system according to a first embodiment of the present application, and fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of an air conditioning system according to a second embodiment of the present application. The embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioning system 100, including: the defrosting device comprises a compressor 1, a reversing assembly 2, an indoor heat exchanger 3, an outdoor heat exchanger assembly 4, a defrosting branch 5 and a bypass branch 6.

Continuing to refer to fig. 1, compressor 1 has a suction port 11 and a discharge port 12. Specifically, the suction port 11 of the compressor 1 is used for sucking air, the refrigerant enters the compression cavity of the compressor 1 through the suction port 11 to be compressed, so as to form a high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant, and the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas is discharged out of the compressor 1 from the exhaust port 12 of the compressor 1, and then enters the air conditioning system 100 to circulate the refrigerant.

Illustratively, the compressor 1 may be a scroll compressor, a rotor compressor, a screw compressor, or other type of compressor.

With continued reference to fig. 1, the reversing assembly 2 has a first port 21, a second port 22, a third port 23, and a fourth port 24. The first port 21 is connected to the exhaust port 12. The fourth port 24 is connected to the suction port 11. First port 21 may be in commutating communication with one of second port 22 and third port 23, and fourth port 24 may be in commutating communication with the other of second port 22 and third port 23. That is, when the first port 21 and the second port 22 are communicated, the third port 23 and the fourth port 24 are communicated; when the first port 21 and the third port 23 are communicated, the second port 22 and the fourth port 24 are communicated.

Illustratively, the reversing assembly 2 may be a four-way reversing valve. The four-way reversing valve can be in an opening state and a closing state, when the four-way reversing valve is electrified, the four-way reversing valve is opened, the first valve port 21 is communicated with the second valve port 22, and the third valve port 23 is communicated with the fourth valve port 24; when the four-way reversing valve is powered off, the four-way reversing valve is closed, the first valve port 21 is communicated with the third valve port 23, and the second valve port 22 is communicated with the fourth valve port 24. Of course, it is understood that in other examples, when the four-way reversing valve is de-energized, the first port 21 is communicated with the second port 22, and the third port 23 is communicated with the fourth port 24; when the four-way reversing valve is electrified, the first port 21 is communicated with the third port 23, and the second port 22 is communicated with the fourth port 24.

With continued reference to fig. 1, the first end of the indoor heat exchanger 3 is connected to the second valve port 22.

With continued reference to fig. 1, the outdoor heat exchanger assembly 4 includes a first section 41 and a second section 42. A first end of the first portion 41 is connected to the third port 23. The first end of the second portion 42 is connected to the third port 23 with a first on/off valve 45 connected in series therebetween. The first on-off valve 45 may be used to control the on-off between the first end of the second section 42 and the third port 23.

Accordingly, the first end of the first part 41 can be conducted to the third valve port 23, and the first on-off valve 45 can control the on-off between the second part 42 and the third valve port 23, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the air conditioning system 100.

With continued reference to fig. 1, a first throttle valve 43 is connected between the second end of the first portion 41 and the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 3. The first throttle valve 43 may perform a function of throttling and depressurizing the refrigerant flowing therethrough. The first throttle valve 43 may also function to control the opening and closing between the second end of the first portion 41 and the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 3. That is, the opening degree of the first throttle valve 43 is adjustable. The first throttle valve 43 may have a fully open state (opening degree of 100%), a fully closed state (opening degree of 0), and a throttle state (opening degree between 0-100%). In the fully closed state of the first throttle valve 43, there is no conduction between the second end of the first portion 41 and the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 3. In the fully opened state and the throttled state of the first throttle valve 43, the second end of the first portion 41 communicates with the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 3, and in the throttled state, the first throttle valve 43 may throttle and depressurize the refrigerant flowing therethrough.

A second throttle valve 44 is connected between a second end of the second portion 42 and a second end of the indoor heat exchanger 3. The second throttle valve 44 may function to throttle and depressurize the refrigerant flowing therethrough. The second throttle valve 44 may also function to control the opening and closing between the second end of the second portion 42 and the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 3. That is, the opening degree of the second throttle valve 44 is adjustable. The second throttle valve 44 may have a fully open state (opening degree of 100%), a fully closed state (opening degree of 0), and a throttle state (opening degree between 0-100%). In the fully closed state of the second throttle valve 44, there is no communication between the second end of the second portion 42 and the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 3. In the fully opened state and the throttled state of the first portion 41, the second end of the second portion 42 is communicated with the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 3, and in the throttled state, the second throttle valve 44 may throttle and depressurize the refrigerant flowing therethrough.

Accordingly, the opening and closing of the second end of the first section 41 and the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 3 may be controlled by controlling the opening and closing of the first throttle valve 43, and the refrigerant flowing through the first throttle valve 43 may be throttled and depressurized by controlling the opening degree of the first throttle valve 43. The opening and closing of the second end of the second portion 42 and the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 3 may be controlled by controlling the opening and closing of the second throttle valve 44, or the refrigerant flowing through the first throttle valve 43 may be throttled and depressurized by controlling the opening degree of the first throttle valve 43. Thereby contributing to improved stability and reliability of the air conditioning system 100.

With continued reference to fig. 1, the first end of the defrost branch 5 is connected to the vent 12. The second end of the defrost branch 5 is connected to the line between the first throttle 43 and the second end of the first section 41. The defrosting branch 5 is connected in series with a second cut-off valve 51. The second on-off valve 51 controls the on-off of the defrost branch 5. It can be understood that the second end of the defrosting branch 5 is located between the first throttle 43 and the second end of the first portion 41, the refrigerant in the defrosting branch 5 can directly enter the first portion 41 without the first throttle 43, and the first throttle 43 can be prevented from affecting the state of the refrigerant on the defrosting branch 5, so that the refrigerant on the defrosting branch 5 can be ensured to be in a high-temperature and high-pressure state. In addition, when frost is formed on the first portion 41, the second shut-off valve 51 may be controlled to be opened so that the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 12 may enter the first portion 41 along the defrosting branch 5, thereby defrosting the first portion 41 using sensible heat discharged from the compressor 1. Meanwhile, when the first portion 41 does not need to be defrosted, the second cut-off valve 51 may be controlled to be closed, so that the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the air outlet 12 may be prevented from flowing to the defrosting branch 5, thereby affecting the normal operation of the air conditioning system 100, and facilitating the improvement of the operation reliability of the air conditioning system 100.

With continued reference to fig. 1, a first end of bypass branch 6 is connected to a first end of second portion 42. The second end of the bypass branch 6 is connected to the line between the first throttle 43 and the second end of the first portion 41. The bypass branch 6 is connected in series with a third throttle valve 61. The third throttle valve 61 may perform a function of throttling and depressurizing the refrigerant flowing therethrough. The third throttle 61 may also function to control the opening and closing between the first end of the second part 42 and the second end of the first part 41. That is, the opening degree of the third throttle valve 61 is adjustable. The third throttle valve 61 may have a fully opened state (opening degree of 100%), a fully closed state (opening degree of 0), and a throttled state (opening degree between 0-100%). In the fully off state of the third throttle valve 61, there is no conduction between the first end of the second portion 42 and the second end of the first portion 41. In the fully open state and the throttled state of the first portion 41, the first end of the second portion 42 is connected to the second end of the first portion 41, and in the throttled state, the third throttle valve 61 may throttle and depressurize the refrigerant flowing therethrough.

The air conditioning system 100 according to an embodiment of the present application has a cooling mode, a heating mode, and a defrosting mode.

The refrigerant flowing out of the first portion 41 is throttled and depressurized by the first throttle 43, and the refrigerant flowing out of the second portion 42 is throttled and depressurized by the second throttle 44. The refrigerant throttled and depressurized by the first throttle valve 43 and the refrigerant throttled and depressurized by the second throttle valve 44 flow into the indoor heat exchanger 3, are changed into a low-temperature and low-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant after heat exchange in the indoor heat exchanger 3, and finally flow back to the suction port 11 of the compressor 1 through the second valve port 22 and the fourth valve port 24 in sequence, so that the refrigeration cycle of the air conditioning system 100 is completed.

When the air conditioning system 100 is in a heating mode, the first valve port 21 and the second valve port 22 of the reversing component 2 are controlled to be connected, the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 are controlled to be connected, the first on-off valve 45 is opened, the second on-off valve 51 is disconnected, the first throttle valve 43 is throttled, the second throttle valve 44 is throttled, and the third throttle valve 61 is fully closed.

The refrigerant flow direction is as follows: the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 12 of the compressor 1 flows into the direction switching assembly 2 through the first valve port 21, and flows out of the direction switching assembly 2 through the second valve port 22. The refrigerant flowing out of the second valve port 22 flows into the indoor heat exchanger 3, is converted into a high-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant after heat exchange in the indoor heat exchanger 3, then flows out of the indoor heat exchanger 3, flows into the first throttle valve 43 and the second throttle valve 44, respectively, flows into the first portion 41 after being throttled and depressurized by the first throttle valve 43, and is evaporated into a low-temperature and low-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant in the first portion 41. The refrigerant throttled and depressurized by the second throttle valve 44 flows into the second portion 42, is evaporated into a low-temperature and low-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant in the second portion 42, and finally flows out of the first portion 41 and the second portion 42 to flow back to the suction port 11 of the compressor 1 through the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 in sequence, thereby completing the heating cycle of the air conditioning system 100.

The refrigerant flowing to the reversing assembly 2 flows into the reversing assembly 2 through the first valve port 21, and flows out of the reversing assembly 2 from the second valve port 22. The refrigerant flowing out of the second valve port 22 flows into the indoor heat exchanger 3. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flowing into the indoor heat exchanger 3 is condensed into a high-temperature and high-pressure supercooled liquid refrigerant after being sufficiently heat-exchanged in the indoor heat exchanger 3, then flows out of the indoor heat exchanger 3, flows to the second throttle valve 44, is throttled by the second throttle valve 44, is changed into a low-temperature and low-pressure two-phase refrigerant, then flows to the second portion 42, and is changed into a low-temperature and low-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant by evaporation of the second portion 42. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flowing to the defrosting branch 5 flows into the first portion 41, and the frost of the first portion 41 is removed by sensible heat of the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor 1. The refrigerant flowing out of the first portion 41 and the refrigerant flowing out of the second portion 42 sequentially pass through the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 and flow back to the suction port 11 of the compressor 1, thereby completing the defrosting refrigerant cycle of the first portion 41.

The refrigerant flow direction is as follows: the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 12 of the compressor 1 flows into the direction switching assembly 2 through the first valve port 21, and flows out of the direction switching assembly 2 through the second valve port 22. The refrigerant flowing out of the second valve port 22 flows to the indoor heat exchanger 3, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant does not completely exchange heat in the indoor heat exchanger 3, and becomes a high-temperature and high-pressure supercooled liquid refrigerant with a small supercooling degree or a two-phase refrigerant after heat exchange, flows to the second throttle 44 after flowing out of the indoor heat exchanger 3, flows to the second portion 42 after passing through the second throttle 44, and then defrosts the second portion 42 by using the waste heat of the high-temperature and high-pressure supercooled liquid refrigerant with a small supercooling degree (the waste heat is sensible heat) or the high-temperature and high-pressure two-phase refrigerant (the waste heat is sensible heat plus latent heat) flowing out of the indoor heat exchanger 3, flows to the bypass branch 6 in the second portion 42, flows to the third throttle 61 on the bypass branch 6, is throttled and depressurized by the third throttle 61 to become a low-temperature and low-pressure two-phase refrigerant, then flows to the first portion 41, and is evaporated to a low-temperature and low-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant in the first portion 41, and finally flows through the suction port of the first portion 41 sequentially passing through the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 of the compressor 1, and returns to the second portion 42 to defrost cycle for the second portion 42.

Therefore, a part of the refrigerant bypassing the exhaust port 12 of the compressor 1 can be defrosted to the first portion 41 by the defrosting branch 5, and the second portion 42 can be defrosted by the high-pressure medium-temperature refrigerant flowing out of the indoor heat exchanger 3, so that the indoor heating state of the indoor heat exchanger 3 can be still ensured while the first portion 41 and the second portion 42 are defrosted in turn. In addition, in the process of switching between heating and defrosting, the reversing assembly 2 is not reversed, so that the service life of the reversing assembly 2 can be prolonged.

With continued reference to fig. 9, the first portion 41 may be located directly above the second portion 42. As shown in fig. 10, the first portion 41 may also be located directly below the second portion 42. Therefore, the defrosting branch 5 and the bypass branch 6 can be reasonably arranged, and cost reduction is facilitated.

With continued reference to fig. 9, the second end of the bypass branch 6 is connected to the line between the second end of the defrost branch 5 and the second end of the first portion 41. The arrangement can prevent the defrosting branch 5 from affecting the bypass branch 6, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the air conditioning system 100, and can reasonably set the position of the bypass branch 6.

In other embodiments, referring to fig. 10, the second end of the bypass branch 6 is connected to the line between the second end of the defrost branch 5 and the first throttle 43. Therefore, the position of the bypass branch 6 can be set reasonably.

Referring to fig. 9, the first throttle 43, the second throttle 44, and the third throttle 61 may be electronic expansion valves. This arrangement may improve the speed and accuracy of operation of the air conditioning system 100. In other embodiments, the first throttle 43, the second throttle 44, and the third throttle 61 may also be thermostatic expansion valves.

In some embodiments, the first portion 41 and the second portion 42 may be divided into two mutually independent heat exchangers. Therefore, when the air conditioning system 100 is in the cooling or heating mode, the situation that the air conditioning system 100 stops working when one of the first part 41 and the second part 42 is damaged can be avoided, and the stability and the reliability of the operation of the air conditioning system 100 are improved.

In other embodiments, the first portion 41 and the second portion 42 may also be divided into two portions of the same heat exchanger. This arrangement facilitates assembly of the air conditioning system 100, thereby facilitating an improvement in assembly efficiency of the air conditioning system 100.

In some embodiments, the first on-off valve 45 may be a two-way valve. This arrangement is advantageous in improving the response speed and reliability of the air conditioning system 100.

In some embodiments, the second cut-off valve 51 may be a solenoid valve. This arrangement is advantageous in improving the response speed and reliability of the air conditioning system 100.

In other embodiments, the second shut-off valve 51 may also be an electronic expansion valve.

With continued reference to fig. 9, the first throttle valve 43 and the second throttle valve 44 are connected to the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 3 through the same subcooler 47. By arranging the subcooler 47, flash gas generated by the air conditioning system 100 in the throttling process can be reduced, the refrigerating capacity of the air conditioning system 100 can be improved, and the running stability of the compressor 1 can be improved, so that the stability and the reliability of the air conditioning system 100 can be improved.

Referring to fig. 1, a first end of the indoor heat exchanger 3 is connected to a first stop valve 31, and a second end of the indoor heat exchanger 3 is connected to a second stop valve 32. Thus, by providing the first and

second cutoff valves

31 and 32, maintenance and repair of the air conditioning system 100 is facilitated. Specifically, when the indoor heat exchanger 3 needs to be repaired or replaced, the first and

second stop valves

31 and 32 may be closed, so that the indoor heat exchanger 3 may be more conveniently repaired without discharging the refrigerant of the entire air conditioning system 100.

Illustratively, the air conditioning system 100 may be a multi-split air conditioning system. The air conditioning system 100 includes a plurality of indoor units. An indoor heat exchanger 3 is arranged in each indoor unit. The indoor units are arranged in parallel. First ends of the indoor heat exchangers 3 of the plurality of indoor units may be connected to the first cutoff valve 31. The second ends of the indoor heat exchangers 3 of the plurality of indoor units may be connected to the second cutoff valve 32. It is understood that, in other examples, the air conditioning system 100 may include only one indoor unit.

Continuing to refer to fig. 1, in some embodiments, the air conditioning system 100 further includes a gas-liquid separator 7. The gas-liquid separator 7 is arranged between the compressor 1 and the reversing assembly 2. The gas-liquid separator 7 has a liquid inlet 71 and a gas outlet 72. The liquid inlet 71 is connected to the fourth port 24. The gas outlet 72 is connected to the suction port 11. Through setting up vapour and liquid separator, can carry out the gas-liquid separation effect to the refrigerant that enters into compressor 1, avoid producing the liquid hammer problem to compressor 1 to be favorable to protecting compressor 1.

Continuing to refer to fig. 1, in some embodiments, the air conditioning system 100 further includes an air-oil separator 8. The oil-gas separator 8 is arranged between the compressor 1 and the reversing assembly 2. The gas-oil separator 8 has an inlet 81, a gas discharge port 82, and an oil outlet 84. The inlet 81 is connected to the exhaust port 12. Gas discharge port 82 is connected to first port 21. The oil outlet 84 is connected to the suction port 11. By providing the oil-gas separator 8, the protection effect on the compressor 1 can be improved, thereby contributing to the improvement of the stability and reliability of the air conditioning system 100.

Continuing to refer to fig. 1, in some embodiments, the air conditioning system 100 further includes an oil return capillary tube 83. The oil return capillary tube 83 is located between the compressor 1 and an oil outlet 84 of the oil separator 8. The oil return capillary tube 83 can return the liquid separated in the oil separator 8 to the suction port 11 of the compressor 1.

With continued reference to fig. 1, in some embodiments, one side of the outdoor heat exchanger assembly may be provided with an outdoor fan 46. This arrangement can improve the heat exchange efficiency of the outdoor heat exchanger assembly 4.

Based on the structure of the air conditioning system 100, there are two defrosting methods for the air conditioning system 100 according to the embodiment of the present application. A defrosting control method of the air conditioning system 100 according to the first embodiment of the present application will be described below.

Referring to fig. 11, fig. 11 is a flowchart illustrating a first defrosting control method of an air conditioning system according to an embodiment of the present application. The defrosting control method of the air conditioning system 100 includes the steps of:

s1: when the air-conditioning system 100 operates in the heating mode, it is determined whether the air-conditioning system 100 satisfies a defrosting condition. When the air conditioning system 100 is in a heating mode, the first valve port 21 and the second valve port 22 of the reversing assembly 2 are connected, the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 are connected, the first on-off valve 45 is opened, the second on-off valve 51 is disconnected, the first throttle valve 43 is throttled, the second throttle valve 44 is throttled, and the third throttle valve 61 is fully closed.

S2: if the air conditioning system 100 meets the defrosting condition, the first throttle valve 43 is controlled to be fully closed, and the second cut-off valve 51 is controlled to be opened, so that the air conditioning system 100 operates in the first defrosting mode to defrost the first part 41.

Thus, in the first defrost mode, the first port 21 and the second port 22 of the reversing assembly 2 are kept in conduction, the third port 23 and the fourth port 24 are in conduction, the first throttle 43 is fully closed, the second throttle 44 is throttled, the first on-off valve 45 is opened, the second on-off valve 51 is opened, and the third throttle 61 is fully closed. At this time, the flow direction of the refrigerant in the first defrost mode may be: the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 12 of the compressor 1 flows to the direction changing assembly 2 and the defrost branch 5, respectively. The refrigerant flowing to the reversing component 2 flows into the reversing component 2 through the first valve port 21 and flows out of the reversing component 2 from the second valve port 22. The refrigerant flowing out of the second valve port 22 flows into the indoor heat exchanger 3. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flowing into the indoor heat exchanger 3 is condensed into a high-temperature and high-pressure supercooled liquid refrigerant after being sufficiently heat-exchanged in the indoor heat exchanger 3, then flows out of the indoor heat exchanger 3, flows to the second throttle valve 44, is throttled by the second throttle valve 44, is changed into a low-temperature and low-pressure two-phase refrigerant, then flows to the second portion 42, and is changed into a low-temperature and low-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant by evaporation of the second portion 42. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flowing to the defrosting branch 5 flows into the first portion 41, and the frost of the first portion 41 is removed by sensible heat of the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor 1. The refrigerant flowing out of the first portion 41 and the refrigerant flowing out of the second portion 42 sequentially pass through the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 and flow back to the suction port 11 of the compressor 1.

S3: it is determined whether the air conditioning system 100 satisfies a first defrost mode end condition.

S4: if the air-conditioning system meets the first defrosting mode ending condition, the second throttling valve 44 is controlled to be fully opened, the first on-off valve 45 is closed, the second on-off valve 51 is closed, and the third throttling valve 61 is throttled, so that the air-conditioning system 100 is controlled to exit the first defrosting mode, the second defrosting mode is operated, and the second part 42 is defrosted in the second defrosting mode.

Thus, in the second defrosting mode, the first port 21 and the second port 22 of the direction switching module 2 are kept in conduction, the third port 23 and the fourth port 24 are kept in conduction, the first throttle 43 is fully closed, the second throttle 44 is fully opened, the first on-off valve 45 is closed, the second on-off valve 51 is closed, and the third throttle 61 is throttled. At this time, the flow direction of the refrigerant in the second defrost mode may be: the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 12 of the compressor 1 flows into the direction switching assembly 2 through the first valve port 21, and flows out of the direction switching assembly 2 through the second valve port 22. The refrigerant flowing out of the second valve port 22 flows to the indoor heat exchanger 3, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant does not completely exchange heat in the indoor heat exchanger 3, and becomes a high-temperature and high-pressure supercooled liquid refrigerant with a small supercooling degree or a two-phase refrigerant after heat exchange, flows to the second throttle 44 after flowing out of the indoor heat exchanger 3, flows to the second portion 42 after passing through the second throttle 44, and then defrosts the second portion 42 by using the residual heat of the high-temperature and high-pressure supercooled liquid refrigerant with a small supercooling degree (residual heat is sensible heat) or the high-temperature and high-pressure two-phase refrigerant (residual heat is sensible heat plus latent heat), flows to the bypass branch 6 in the second portion 42, then flows to the third throttle 61 on the bypass branch 6, is throttled by the third throttle 61 to become a low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant, then flows to the first portion 41, is evaporated to a low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant in the first portion 41, and finally flows back to the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 of the compressor 1 through the refrigerant 11.

S5: it is determined whether the air conditioning system 100 satisfies the second defrost mode end condition.

S6: if the second defrosting mode end condition is satisfied, the first throttle valve 43 and the second throttle valve 44 are controlled to throttle, the first on-off valve 45 is opened, the second on-off valve 51 is closed, and the third throttle valve 61 is closed, so that the second defrosting mode is exited, and the heating mode is operated.

Therefore, when the heating mode is switched to the first defrosting mode and the second defrosting mode for defrosting the first part 41 and the second part 42, the reversing assembly 2 is not reversed all the time, so that the power consumption of the air conditioning system 100 can be reduced, the air conditioning system 100 can realize uninterrupted heating, the indoor can be kept in a high-temperature state all the time, and the comfort of users is improved. Meanwhile, in the first defrosting mode, the first portion 41 is defrosted by using the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 12 of the compressor 1, and the defrosting effect is remarkable. The second defrosting mode utilizes the high-pressure medium-temperature refrigerant flowing out of the indoor heat exchanger 3 to defrost the second part 42, and by means of the defrosting mode combining low-pressure sensible heat and high-pressure waste heat, the advantages of waste heat defrosting and sensible heat defrosting can be utilized, meanwhile, the problems that waste of waste heat defrosting capacity is serious, sensible heat defrosting reliability is poor, and applicable working conditions are narrow can be avoided, and the reliability and stability of the operation of the air conditioning system 100 can be improved. In addition, when the first portion 41 is located directly above the second portion 42, in the defrosting process of the outdoor heat exchanger assembly 4, the first portion 41 is defrosted first, and after the first portion 41 is defrosted, the second portion 42 is defrosted, which is beneficial to ensuring the defrosting effect of the outdoor heat exchanger assembly 4, and the problem that when the defrosting water of the first portion 41 drops onto the second portion 42 serving as an evaporator due to the first portion 42 being defrosted and the first portion 41 being defrosted, the second portion 42 is frozen, which results in the deterioration of the defrosting effect of the second portion 42 is prevented.

In some embodiments, in order to improve the evaporation capacity of the first portion 41, the outdoor fan 46 is disposed on the side of the first portion 41 away from the second portion 42, and in step S4, if the air conditioning system meets the first defrosting mode ending condition, the outdoor fan 46 is controlled to be turned on, so that air can be supplied to the first portion 41. Thus, after the defrosting of the first portion 41 is completed, the outdoor fan 46 is turned on to improve the evaporating capacity of the first portion 41, and further improve the suction pressure of the compressor 1, so that the indoor side can be quickly exhausted after the defrosting of the air conditioning system 100 is completed, and the improvement of the user experience is facilitated.

In some embodiments, the outdoor ambient temperature Ta, the temperature Te1 of the second end of the first portion 41, and the temperature Te2 of the second end of the second portion 42 are obtained before the air conditioning system 100 is determined to satisfy the defrosting condition. If Ta is less than or equal to a, te1/Te2 is less than or equal to b, and the continuous operation time of the heating mode of the air conditioning system 100 reaches the first set time length, the air conditioning system is judged to meet the defrosting condition. Therefore, the air conditioning system 100 can accurately judge whether defrosting is performed or not, and the defrosting sensitivity and reliability of the air conditioning system 100 can be improved.

For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 10, an outdoor temperature sensor 9 may be provided at the outside of the air conditioning system 100 for acquiring the outdoor ambient temperature Ta, a first section Te temperature sensor 411 may be provided at the second end of the first section 41 for acquiring the temperature Te1 of the second end of the first section 41, and a second section Te temperature sensor 421 may be provided at the second end of the second section 42 for acquiring the temperature Te2 of the second end of the second section 42.

In some embodiments, -7 ℃ < a < 7 ℃. For example, the threshold value a of the outdoor ambient temperature Ta may be set to a value of-6 ℃, -5 ℃, -4 ℃, -3 ℃, -2 ℃, -1 ℃,0 ℃,1 ℃,2 ℃, 3 ℃, 4 ℃,5 ℃, or 6 ℃.

In some embodiments, -5 ℃ and b are 0 ℃. For example, the ratio Te1/Te2 may be set to-5 ℃, -4 ℃, -3 ℃, -2 ℃, -1 ℃ or 0 ℃.

In some embodiments, the first set time period is ≧ 10min. For example, the value of the first set time period may be 10min, 11min, 12min, 13min, 14min, or the like.

In some embodiments, the first defrost mode end condition is: the temperature Te1 at the second end of the first portion 41 is greater than or equal to f for a first preset time. Therefore, the first defrosting mode can be timely exited when the first defrosting mode ending condition is met, and the intelligent degree and the reliability of the air conditioning system 100 can be improved.

In some embodiments, the second defrost mode end condition is: the temperature Te2 at the second end of the second portion 42 is greater than or equal to f for a first predetermined time. Therefore, when the second defrosting mode ending condition is met, the second defrosting mode can be exited in time, and the intelligent degree and the reliability of the air conditioning system 100 can be improved.

In some embodiments, f is 10 ℃ to 25 ℃. For example, the temperature f at the second end of the second section 42 can be 10 ℃, 11 ℃, 12 ℃, 13 ℃, 14 ℃, 15 ℃, 16 ℃, 17 ℃, 18 ℃, 19 ℃,20 ℃, 21 ℃, 22 ℃, 23 ℃, 24 ℃ or 25 ℃ and the like.

In some embodiments, 5 seconds ≦ the first predetermined time ≦ 30 seconds. For example, the first preset time may be 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 20 seconds, 25 seconds, 30 seconds, or the like.

In some embodiments, the second throttle valve 44 is adjustable in opening. When defrosting the first section 41, the opening degree of the second throttle valve 44 is adjusted to satisfy the first preset condition. The first preset condition is as follows: the suction superheat of the compressor 1 satisfies: tsh is more than or equal to d, and the exhaust superheat degree of the compressor 1 meets the following requirements: tdsh is more than or equal to e; where Tssh = Tg2-Tc _ Ps, tg2 is the temperature of the first end of the second section 42, and Tc _ Ps is the saturation temperature corresponding to the suction pressure Ps at the suction port 11. This arrangement can improve the accuracy of the opening degree control of the second throttle valve 44, thereby contributing to an improvement in the reliability of the air conditioning system 100. It should be noted that Tdsh = Td-Tc _ Pd, td is the temperature of the discharge port 12 of the compressor 1, and Tc _ Pd is the saturation temperature corresponding to the discharge pressure Pd at the discharge port 12.

For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 10, a second section temperature sensor 422 may be disposed at the first end of the second section 42 for obtaining the temperature Tg2 of the first end of the second section 42, a suction pressure sensor 111 may be disposed at the suction port 11 of the compressor 1 for detecting the suction pressure Ps, and a discharge pressure sensor 121 may be disposed at the discharge port 12 of the compressor 1 for detecting the discharge pressure Pd. A discharge temperature sensor 122 for detecting a discharge temperature Td may be provided at the discharge port 12 of the compressor 1.

In some embodiments, the opening of the third throttle 61 is adjustable, and the opening of the third throttle 61 is adjusted to satisfy a second preset condition when defrosting the second portion 42. The second preset condition is as follows: the suction superheat of the compressor 1 satisfies: tsh is more than or equal to d, and the exhaust superheat degree of the compressor 1 meets the following requirements: tdsh is more than or equal to e. Where Tssh = Tg1-Tc _ Ps, tg1 is the temperature of the first end of the first section 41, and Tc _ Ps is the saturation temperature corresponding to the suction pressure Ps at the suction port 11.

For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 10, a first portion temperature sensor 412 may be disposed at the first end of the first portion 41 for acquiring the temperature Tg1 of the first end of the first portion 41.

In some embodiments, d is 0 ℃ to 10 ℃. For example, d can be at 0 deg.C, 1 deg.C, 2 deg.C, 3 deg.C, 4 deg.C, 5 deg.C, 6 deg.C, 7 deg.C, 8 deg.C, 9 deg.C, or 10 deg.C.

In some embodiments, 20 ℃. Ltoreq. E.ltoreq.40 ℃. For example, e can be 20 ℃, 25 ℃, 30 ℃, 35 ℃ or 40 ℃.

In some embodiments, the indoor fan of the air conditioning system 100 is controlled to stop operating or to operate at the lowest windshield while the second portion 42 is being defrosted. The arrangement can ensure that the refrigerant flowing into the second part 42 has residual heat in the second defrosting mode, thereby ensuring the defrosting efficiency of the second part 42.

A defrosting control method of the air conditioning system 100 according to the second embodiment of the present application will be described below.

Referring to fig. 12, fig. 12 is a flowchart illustrating a second defrosting control method of an air conditioning system according to an embodiment of the present application. The defrosting control method of the air conditioning system 100 includes the steps of:

s1: when the air-conditioning system 100 operates in the heating mode, it is determined whether the air-conditioning system 100 satisfies a defrosting condition. When the air conditioning system 100 is in a heating mode, the first valve port 21 and the second valve port 22 of the reversing component 2 are connected, the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 are connected, the first on-off valve 45 is opened, the second on-off valve 51 is disconnected, the first throttle 43 is throttled, the second throttle 44 is throttled, and the third throttle 61 is fully closed.

S2: if the air conditioning system 100 meets the defrosting condition, the first throttling valve 43 is controlled to be fully closed, the second throttling valve 44 is controlled to be fully opened, the first on-off valve 45 is controlled to be closed, and the third throttling valve 61 is controlled to be throttled, so that the air conditioning system 100 operates in the first defrosting mode to defrost the second part 42.

Thus, in the first defrosting mode, the first port 21 and the second port 22 of the reversing assembly 2 are kept in conduction, the third port 23 and the fourth port 24 are kept in conduction, the first throttle 43 is fully closed, the second throttle 44 is fully opened, the first on-off valve 45 is fully closed, the second on-off valve 51 is closed, and the third throttle 61 is throttled. At this time, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 12 of the compressor 1 flows into the direction switching module 2 through the first valve port 21, and flows out of the direction switching module 2 through the second valve port 22. The refrigerant flowing out of the second valve port 22 flows into the indoor heat exchanger 3, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant does not completely exchange heat in the indoor heat exchanger 3, and becomes a high-temperature and high-pressure supercooled liquid refrigerant with a small supercooling degree or a two-phase refrigerant after heat exchange, flows out of the indoor heat exchanger 3, flows to the second throttle 44, flows to the second portion 42 through the second throttle 44, and then defrosts the second portion 42 by using the residual heat of the high-temperature and high-pressure supercooled liquid refrigerant with a small supercooling degree (residual heat is sensible heat) or the high-temperature and high-pressure two-phase refrigerant (residual heat is sensible heat plus latent heat), flows to the bypass branch 6 in the second portion 42, then flows to the third throttle 61 on the bypass branch 6, is throttled and depressurized by the third throttle 61 to become a low-temperature and low-pressure two-phase refrigerant, then flows into the first portion 41, and is evaporated into the low-temperature and low-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant in the first portion 41, and finally flows back to the suction port 11 of the compressor 1 through the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24.

S4: if the air conditioning system meets the first defrosting mode ending condition, the second throttling valve 44 is controlled to throttle, the first on-off valve 45 is opened, the second on-off valve 51 is opened, and the third throttling valve 61 is fully closed, so that the air conditioning system 100 is controlled to exit from the first defrosting mode, the second defrosting mode is operated, and the first part 41 is defrosted in the second defrosting mode.

Thus, in the second defrost mode, the first port 21 and the second port 22 of the reversing assembly 2 are kept in conduction, the third port 23 and the fourth port 24 are kept in conduction, the first throttle 43 is fully closed, the second throttle 44 is throttled, the first on-off valve 45 is opened, the second on-off valve 51 is opened, and the third throttle 61 is fully closed. At this time, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 12 of the compressor 1 flows to the reversing unit 2 and the defrosting branch 5, respectively. The refrigerant flowing to the reversing assembly 2 flows into the reversing assembly 2 through the first valve port 21, and flows out of the reversing assembly 2 from the second valve port 22. The refrigerant flowing out of the second valve port 22 flows into the indoor heat exchanger 3. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flowing into the indoor heat exchanger 3 is condensed into a high-temperature and high-pressure supercooled liquid refrigerant after sufficient heat exchange in the indoor heat exchanger 3, then flows out of the indoor heat exchanger 3, flows to the second throttle valve 44, is throttled by the second throttle valve 44 to become a low-temperature and low-pressure two-phase refrigerant, then flows to the second portion 42, and is evaporated by the second portion 42 to become a low-temperature and low-pressure superheated gaseous refrigerant. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flowing to the defrosting branch 5 flows into the first portion 41, and the frost of the first portion 41 is removed by sensible heat of the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor 1. The refrigerant flowing out of the first portion 41 and the refrigerant flowing out of the second portion 42 sequentially pass through the third valve port 23 and the fourth valve port 24 and flow back to the suction port 11 of the compressor 1.

Therefore, when the heating mode is switched to the first defrosting mode and the second defrosting mode for defrosting the first part 41 and the second part 42, the reversing assembly 2 is not reversed all the time, so that the power consumption of the air-conditioning system 100 can be reduced, the air-conditioning system 100 can realize uninterrupted heating, the indoor can be kept in a high-temperature state all the time, and the comfort of users can be improved. Meanwhile, in the second defrosting mode, the first portion 41 is defrosted by using the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 12 of the compressor 1, and the defrosting effect is significant. The first defrosting mode utilizes the high-pressure medium-temperature refrigerant flowing out of the indoor heat exchanger 3 to defrost the second part 42, and by means of the defrosting mode combining low-pressure sensible heat and high-pressure waste heat, the advantages of waste heat defrosting and sensible heat defrosting can be utilized, meanwhile, the problems that waste of waste heat defrosting capacity is serious, sensible heat defrosting reliability is poor, and applicable working conditions are narrow can be avoided, and the reliability and stability of operation of the air conditioning system 100 can be improved. In addition, when the second portion 42 is located directly above the first portion 41, in the defrosting process of the outdoor heat exchanger assembly 4, by defrosting the second portion 42 first, and then defrosting the first portion 41 after defrosting the second portion 42 is completed, it is advantageous to ensure the defrosting effect of the outdoor heat exchanger assembly 4, and prevent the first portion 41 from being frozen and the defrosting effect of the first portion 41 from being deteriorated due to the fact that the defrosting is performed on the first portion 41 first and then on the second portion 42, and the defrosting water of the second portion 42 drops onto the first portion 41 serving as an evaporator.

In some embodiments, in order to improve the evaporation capacity of the second section 42, the outdoor fan 46 is disposed on the side of the second section 42 away from the first section 41, and in step S4, if the air conditioning system meets the first defrosting mode ending condition, the outdoor fan 46 is controlled to be turned on, so that air can be supplied to the second section 42. Thus, after the second section 42 is defrosted, the outdoor fan 46 is turned on to improve the evaporating capacity of the second section 42, and further improve the suction pressure of the compressor 1, so that air can be rapidly discharged from the indoor side after the air conditioning system 100 finishes defrosting, and the improvement of the user experience is facilitated.

In some embodiments, the outdoor ambient temperature Ta, the temperature Te1 of the second end of the first portion 41, and the temperature Te2 of the second end of the second portion 42 are obtained before the air conditioning system 100 is determined to satisfy the defrosting condition. And if Ta is less than or equal to a, te1/Te2 is less than or equal to b, and the continuous operation time of the heating mode of the air conditioning system 100 reaches the first set time length, judging that the air conditioning system meets the defrosting condition. Therefore, the air conditioning system 100 can prepare to judge whether to defrost or not, which is beneficial to improving the defrosting sensitivity and reliability of the air conditioning system 100.

In some embodiments, -7 ℃ < a < 7 ℃. For example, the threshold value a of the outdoor ambient temperature Ta may be set to-6 ℃, -5 ℃, -4 ℃, -3 ℃, -2 ℃, -1 ℃,0 ℃,1 ℃,2 ℃, 3 ℃, 4 ℃,5 ℃, or 6 ℃.

In some embodiments, -5 ℃ and b 0 ℃. For example, the ratio of Te1/Te2 may be-5 deg.C, -4 deg.C, -3 deg.C, -2 deg.C, -1 deg.C, or 0 deg.C.

In some embodiments, the first defrost mode end condition is: the temperature Te2 at the second end of the second portion 42 is ≧ f for a first preset time. Therefore, the first defrosting mode can be timely exited when the first defrosting mode ending condition is met, and the intelligent degree and the reliability of the air conditioning system 100 can be improved.

In some embodiments, the second defrost mode end condition is: the temperature Te1 at the second end of the first portion 41 is greater than or equal to f for a first predetermined time. Therefore, when the second defrosting mode ending condition is met, the second defrosting mode can be exited in time, and the intelligent degree and the reliability of the air conditioning system 100 can be improved.

In some embodiments, 10 ℃. Ltoreq. F.ltoreq.25 ℃. For example, the temperature f at the second end of the second section 42 can be 10 ℃, 11 ℃, 12 ℃, 13 ℃, 14 ℃, 15 ℃, 16 ℃, 17 ℃, 18 ℃, 19 ℃,20 ℃, 21 ℃, 22 ℃, 23 ℃, 24 ℃ or 25 ℃ and the like.

For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 10, a second section temperature sensor 422 may be provided at the first end of the second section 42 for obtaining the temperature Tg2 of the first end of the second section 42, a suction pressure sensor 111 may be provided at the suction port 11 of the compressor 1 for detecting the suction pressure Ps, and a discharge pressure sensor 121 and a discharge temperature sensor 122 may be provided at the discharge port 12 of the compressor 1 for detecting the discharge pressure Pd and the discharge temperature Td.

In some embodiments, the opening of the third throttle 61 is adjustable, and the opening of the third throttle 61 is adjusted to satisfy the second preset condition when defrosting the second portion 42. The second preset condition is as follows: the suction superheat of the compressor 1 satisfies: tsh is more than or equal to d, and the exhaust superheat degree of the compressor 1 meets the following requirements: tdsh is more than or equal to e. Where Tssh = Tg1-Tc _ Ps, tg1 is the temperature of the first end of the first section 41, and Tc _ Ps is the saturation temperature corresponding to the suction pressure Ps at the suction port 11.

In some embodiments, d is 0 ℃ to 10 ℃. For example, d can be 0 ℃,1 ℃,2 ℃, 3 ℃, 4 ℃,5 ℃, 6 ℃, 7 ℃, 8 ℃, 9 ℃ or 10 ℃.
