一种空调器室外机及控制方法
Outdoor unit of air conditioner and control method
本申请要求在2019年10月12日提交中国专利局、申请号为201910970156.5、发明名称为“一种空调器室外机、循环系统以及控制方法”,的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及空调器技术领域,尤其涉及一种空调器室外机以及控制方法。
背景技术
空调室外机的压缩机由驱动模块驱动运行,采用冷媒散热系统对该驱动模块进行冷却,从而防止驱动模块温升过大,造成驱动模块失效,引起火灾等安全问题。冷媒散热相比风冷散热,其拥有散热效率高,便于控制等优点,因此,广泛应用于空调室外机上。
对于大功率多联式空调室外机,一般采用双压缩机驱动,所以,其电气系统具有两个驱动模块,如图1所示,用于循环冷媒的冷媒管001上设置有两个换热块002,两个换热块002分别与对应的驱动模块的电路板固定连接,从而对驱动模块以及电路板进行散热、降温。
但是,室外机运行时,两个压缩机是相互独立工作的,每个压缩机对应的驱动模块在工作时产生的热量不同,因此,造成两个驱动模块的冷热程度不同,并且两个压缩机也有可能仅有一个运行,而不运行的驱动模块不发热,因此也不需要散热,当冷媒对运行的驱动模块进行散热时,会导致未运行的驱动模块的温度降低,也会导致两个驱动模块的冷热程度不同。
而冷媒管001中流动的冷媒量是相同的,从而导致经冷媒换热后,发热量 较低的驱动模块的温度进一步降低,因此,在该驱动模块的电路板上容易出现凝露现象,使电路板短路,导致危险发生。
发明内容
本申请的实施例提供一种空调器室外机、循环系统以及控制方法,能够控制各个驱动模块之间的热量传递,提高驱动模块之间的冷热均衡性,从而避免驱动模块因温度过低,出现凝露现象,使驱动模块短路,导致危险发生。
为达到上述目的,本申请的实施例采用如下技术方案:
本申请第一方面实施例提供一种空调器室外机,包括壳体,所述壳体内设有至少两个压缩机;
驱动模块,具有至少两个,每个分别对应驱动一个所述压缩机;
换热块,其不同部分分别与不同所述驱动模块以可导热方式连接;
冷媒管,内有冷媒,插入所述换热块内且可对所述换热块进行冷却。
本申请实施例提供的空调器室外机,由于将相邻的两个换热块相互连接在一起,因此,产热量较高的驱动模块的热量可以传递至产热量较低的驱动模块上,从而使相邻的两个驱动模块的热量相对均衡,避免其中一个驱动模块的温度较低,导致该驱动模块上产生凝露现象,造成短路等情况。
本申请第二方面实施例还提供了一种如上所述空调器的循环系统,包括设置于所述室外机内部、并通过循环主液管依次连通的过冷换热器、主电子膨胀阀、室外换热器以及四通阀,所述循环主液管与所述室内机连通,所述四通阀上还连接有压缩机和气液分离器,所述压缩机和所述气液分离器连通,所述气液分离器与所述过冷换热器连通,所述循环主液管上设置有冷却循环支路,所述冷却循环支路与所述冷媒管连通,所述冷却循环支路上设置有辅助电子膨胀 阀。
本申请实施例提供的如上所述的空调器室外机的循环系统,与第一方面实施例提供的空调器室外机解决的问题相同,并取得了相同的技术效果,所以,在此不再赘述。
本申请第三方面实施例提供一种如上述循环系统的控制方法,每个所述驱动模块中均设置有温度传感器,所述温度传感器用于检测所述驱动模块的温度,所述控制方法包括:
通过所述温度传感器监测所述驱动模块的温度,并且设定目标温度,所述目标温度处于安全温度区间内,然后调节辅助电子膨胀阀,使所述驱动模块的温度稳定在所述目标温度内;
当检测到有温度低的所述驱动模块的温度与环境温度的温度差小于第一预设温度时,则提升设定的所述目标温度的温度值,使所述辅助电子膨胀阀的开度减小,减少所述冷媒管内循环的冷媒量,使检测到所述温度差小于所述第一预设温度的所述驱动模块的温度升高、并使该驱动模块的温度与环境温度的温度差大于所述第一预设温度。
本申请实施例提供的如上述循环系统的控制方法,通过在每个驱动模块中均设置一个温度传感器,从而监测每一个驱动模块的温度,并且在安全温度区间内取一个温度值,设定为目标温度,然后不断调节辅助电子膨胀阀的开度大小,使驱动模块的温度均稳定在目标温度附近,从而使驱动模块的温度均处于安全温度区间内;
当其中一个或者多个驱动模块的温度与环境温度的温度差小于第一预设温度时,则判定该驱动模块的温度过低,有产生凝露现象的可能,因此,升高设 定的目标温度的温度值,使辅助电子膨胀阀的开度减小,减小冷媒管内的冷媒量,即减少冷媒带走的热量,从而使所有驱动模块的温度升高,并且基于导热件可以传递相邻驱动模块之间的热量,从而使温度较高的驱动模块向温度低的驱动模块传递热量,进而使温度较低的驱动模块的温度升高、并且使其温度与环境温度的温度差大于第一预设温度,避免发生凝露现象;
当每一个驱动模块的温度与环境温度的温度差均大于第一预设温度时,则判定没有凝露风险,此时,不需改变设定的目标温度值,只需不断调节辅助电子膨胀阀,使驱动模块的温度稳定在安全温度区间内,避免驱动模块的温度过低,产生凝露现象。

下面结合附图对本申请实施例提供的一种空调器室外机、循环系统以及控制方法进行详细描述。
在本申请的描述中,需要理解的是,术语“中心”、“上”、“下”、“前”、“后”、“左”、“右”、“竖直”、“水平”、“顶”、“底”、“内”、“外”等指示的方位或位置关系为基于附图所示的方位或位置关系,仅是为了便于描述本申请和简化描述,而不是指示或暗示所指的装置或元件必须具有特定的方位、以特定的方位构造和操作,因此不能理解为对本申请的限制。
术语“第一”、“第二”仅用于描述目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性或者隐含指明所指示的技术特征的数量。由此,限定有“第一”、“第二”的特征可以明示或者隐含地包括一个或者更多个该特征。在本申请的描述中,除非另有说明,“多个”的含义是两个或两个以上。
在本申请的描述中,需要说明的是,除非另有明确的规定和限定,术语“安装”、“相连”、“连接”应做广义理解,例如,可以是固定连接,也可以是可拆卸连接,或一体地连接;可以是直接相连,也可以通过中间媒介间接相连,可 以是两个元件内部的连通。对于本领域的普通技术人员而言,可以具体情况理解上述术语在本申请中的具体含义。
本申请实施例提供的一种空调器室外机,如图2、图3所示,所述室外机内部设置有多个压缩机550,每个所述压缩机550均对应设置有驱动模块400,每个所述驱动模块400上均连接有换热块100,相邻的两个所述驱动模块400上的两个所述换热块100相互连接,多个所述换热块100内部插入有同一根冷媒管200,所述冷媒管200用于循环冷媒,所述换热块100用于在所述冷媒管200与所述驱动模块400之间进行换热,以降低所述驱动模块400的温度。
本申请实施例提供的空调器,由于将相邻的两个换热块100相互连接在一起,因此,产热量较高的驱动模块400的热量可以传递至产热量较低的驱动模块400上,从而使两个驱动模块400的热量相对均衡,避免其中一个驱动模块400的温度较低,导致该驱动模块400上产生凝露现象,造成短路等情况。
在本申请实施例提供的空调器室外机中,相邻的两个所述换热块100之间通过导热件300连接,所述导热件300用于在两个所述换热块100之间传递热量。通过一个导热件300连接相邻的两个换热块100,从而提高相邻的两个换热块100之间的导热效率,更好在相邻的两个驱动模块400之间传递热量。
本申请实施例提供的换热块100可以采用一块较厚的、由导热材料制成的散热板,在散热板内部沿平行于板面的方向开设通孔121,在通孔121内插入冷媒管200,然后将该散热板与驱动模块400固定连接即可。
也可以将换热块100设置为以下结构,如图4、图5所示,所述换热块100包括固定板110以及设置于所述固定板110上的导热部120;
如图6所示,所述导热部120内、沿所述固定板110长度方向开设有通孔 121,所述冷媒管200插入所述通孔121内,所述固定板110与所述驱动模块400连接,所述固定板110与与所述导热部120由相同材料制成、且为一体成型结构。
上述采用散热板的技术方案中,由于散热板内需要插入用于循环冷媒的冷媒管200,因此,散热板的厚度至少要大于冷媒管200的外径,但是,散热板的内部未设置冷媒管200的部分需要与驱动模块400通过螺钉连接,由于散热板的整体较厚,因此,导致开孔较为不便,增加了工艺难度,并且由于散热板整体较厚,冷媒管200内循环冷媒的冷量传递至整块散热板的传递效率相对降低,并且进一步降低了冷量传递至驱动模块400的传递效率。
相比于上述散热板的技术方案,本申请实施例提供的固定板110上设置导热部120的技术方案,如图6、图7所示,在导热部120的内部开设用于容纳冷媒管200的通孔121,因此,固定板110的厚度不需要设置过厚,并且由于固定板110的厚度较小,如图3所示,冷媒管200内循环的冷媒的冷量能够更快的传递至驱动模块400,提高了冷量传递的效率,有利于驱动模块400降温,保证驱动模块400能够稳定运行。
本申请实施例提供的所述导热件300用于连接两个换热块100,从而在两个换热块100之间传递热量。
该导热件300可以采用导热材料制成的连接板分别与两个换热块100的底面连接,从而在两个换热块100之间传递热量,也可以与所述换热块100采用相同的结构,如图5、图6所示,并且将两个换热块100连接为一体,所述导热件300与所述换热块100的端面紧密连接。
通过导热材料制成的连接板连接两个换热块100的技术方案,由于连接板 与换热块100的底面连接,即在换热块100与驱动模块400之间增加了连接板,即增加了冷媒管200与驱动模块400之间的厚度,不利于冷量向驱动模块400传递,相比于该方案,将导热件300设置为与换热块100相同的结构,并且将导热件300的端面与换热块100的端面紧密连接,从而换热块100与驱动模块400之间不需要增加其他结构,既能够传递两个换热块100的热量,又不影响冷媒管200内冷媒的冷量向驱动模块400传递的效率。
另外,上述导热件300与换热块100可以采用不同的导热材料,并且将二者的端面之间通过焊接等工艺固定紧密连接,从而确保换热块100之间的热量传递效率,也可以将所述导热件300与所述换热块100采用相同材料制成、并且一体成型。
导热件300与换热块100通过焊接连接的技术方案,由于不同的导热材料的导热性能上会存在差异,因此,会影响热传递效率,并且焊接的连接处,并不能做到绝对的紧密贴合,进一步降低了热传递效率,相比于该方案,本申请实施例提供的导热件300与换热块100采用相同材料、并且一体成型,如图8、图9所示,即本方案采用一个加长的换热块100,将该加长的换热块100的两端分别与两个驱动模块400连接,当两个驱动模块400的冷热差别较大时,通过该加长的换热块100直接传递热量,并且该换热块100由于是一体成型结构,因此,不存在连接缝隙,不会降低导热效率。
在本申请的某些实施例中,如图3、图4所示,所述驱动模块400设置于电路基板410上,所述固定板110与所述电路基板410紧密贴合,所述电路基板410能够将所述冷媒的冷量传递至所述驱动模块400,以降低所述驱动模块400的温度。
所述固定板110上未设置有导热部120的区域与电路基板410之间通过螺钉固定连接,并且固定板110的板面与电路基板410紧密贴合,从而通过电路基板410降低驱动模块400的温度。
在本申请的某些实施例中,所述冷媒管200通过胀管的方式,使所述冷媒管200的外壁与所述通孔121的内壁紧密贴合。
冷媒管200的外壁与换热块100上的通孔121内壁紧密贴合,从而更好的使冷媒管200内部冷媒的冷量与换热块100吸收的驱动模块400的热量进行热交换,从而降低驱动模块400的热量,使驱动模块400正常运行。
为了能够更好的降低驱动模块400产生的热量,增加冷媒是最直接的方法,因此冷媒管200可以采用弯折的方式,形成多段相互平行的结构,从而增加了冷媒管200与换热块100的接触面积;
但是,由于驱动模块400一般为芯片,其体积较小,所以电路基板410的体积也较小,如果冷媒管200中设置的平行管段过多,则会导致换热块100的体积增大,从而增加了换热块100整体成本,因此,本申请实施例提供的所述冷媒管200优选采用U型管。
如图3、图4所示,所述换热块100包括两个所述导热部120、并分别设置于所述固定板110上沿长度方向的两侧边缘处,所述U型管的两个直管段分别插入两个所述导热部120内的通孔121中。
冷媒管200采用U型管的结构,仅设置两个相互平行的管段,不仅不会增加过高的成本,而且增加了冷媒管200与换热块100的接触面积,从而增加了单位时间内在换热块100内循环的冷媒量,即增加了冷媒提供的冷量,能够向驱动模块400传递更多的冷量,使驱动模块400的温度降低。
本申请实施例提供的所述冷媒管200采用铜管。铜管具有较好的导热性能、抗腐蚀性能以及低温强度高等优点。
申请实施例提供的所述换热块100由铝制成。金属铝具有价格低,导热性能好等优点,因此,在保证较好的导热效率的前提下,还能够降低成本。
本申请实施例还提供了一种如上技术方案所述的空调器室外机的循环系统,如图3、图10所示,包括设置于所述所述室外机内部、并通过循环主液管500依次连通的过冷换热器510、主电子膨胀阀520、室外换热器530以及四通阀540,所述循环主液管500与所述室内机连通,所述四通阀540上还连接有压缩机550和气液分离器560,所述压缩机550和所述气液分离器560连通,所述气液分离器560与所述过冷换热器510连通,所述循环主液管500上设置有冷却循环支路600,所述冷却循环支路600与所述冷媒管200连通,所述冷却循环支路600上设置有辅助电子膨胀阀610。
本申请实施例提供的循环系统,与上述空调器解决的技术问题以及取得的技术效果相同,因此,不再赘述。
本申请实施例提供的所述冷却循环支路600设置于所述过冷换热器510与所述室外换热器530之间,且与所述主电子膨胀阀520并联,如图3、图10所示。
当制热时,冷媒液态冷媒由循环主液管500进入冷却循环支路600,在冷媒管200中与驱动模块400进行换热,将驱动模块400的热量带走,并且在辅助电子膨胀阀610处节流,变成低温低压冷媒,然后进入室外换热器530中;
当制冷时,由室外换热器530流出的液态冷媒,经循环主液管500,然后通过辅助电子膨胀阀610,再经过驱动模块400、并带走驱动模块400的热量,然 后重新流回循环主液管500,然后流向过冷换热器510中。
在循环过程中,通过调节辅助电子膨胀阀610的开度,可调节驱动模块400的温度,当驱动模块400温度高时,控制辅助电子膨胀阀610的开度增大,使冷却循环支路600中的冷媒量增大,从而降低驱动模块400的温度,当驱动模块400温度低时,控制辅助电子膨胀阀610的开度减小,减少冷却循环支路600中的冷媒量,使驱动模块400能够产生热量,使驱动模块400的温度升高,从而调控驱动模块400的温度,并且驱动模块400之间通过导热件300能够传递热量,进一步提高驱动模块400之间的均衡性。
需要指出的是,上述循环系统中由于主电子膨胀阀520与辅助电子膨胀阀610相互并联,因此,需要主电子膨胀阀520与辅助电子膨胀阀610相互调节使用,当有驱动模块400的温度高于安全区间、并且辅助电子膨胀阀610的开度接近完全打开时,此时,由于辅助电子膨胀阀610接近完全打开,同时驱动模块400的温度依然超过安全区间,因此,说明此时冷却循环支路600内的冷媒量不足,所以,此时,可以调节主电子膨胀阀520的开度,即减小主电子膨胀阀520的开度,从而减少通过循环主液管500内的冷媒量;
由此,使进入冷却循环支路600的冷媒量增加,从而增加用于降低驱动模块400温度的冷量,使驱动模块400的温度顺利降低至安全区间,防止温度过高导致驱动模块400损坏。
例如,辅助电子膨胀阀610的开度可以设置为完全打开状态的85%,当驱动模块400的温度超过安全区间,并且此时辅助电子膨胀阀610的开度大于完全打开状态的85%,此时则控制减小主电子膨胀阀520的开度,从而增加冷却循环支路600的冷媒量。
本申请实施例提供的所述冷却循环支路600设置于所述过冷换热器510靠近所述室内机的一端,所述辅助电子膨胀阀610的出口与所述过冷换热器510连通,如图3、图11所示。
将冷却循环支路600设置于过冷换热器510靠近室内机的一端,可用辅助电子膨胀阀610代替过冷换热器510入口处的电子膨胀阀,即循环系统中仅设置两个电子膨胀阀即可,从而降低成本;
并且该循环结构在制冷或制热时,冷却循环支路600的循环方向相同,即液态冷媒由循环主液管500进入冷却循环支路600,并带走驱动模块400中的热量,然后在辅助电子膨胀阀610处节流,变成低温低压冷媒,通过过冷换热器510与循环主液管500中的冷媒进行换热,冷却循环主液管500中的冷媒,提高其过冷度,通过冷却循环支路600中的低温低压冷媒吸热升温回到气液分离器560中,然后进入压缩机550。
在循环过程中,同样通过调节辅助电子膨胀阀610的开度,来调节驱动模块400的温度,当驱动模块400温度高时,控制辅助电子膨胀阀610的开度增大,使冷却循环支路600中的冷媒量增大,从而降低驱动模块400的温度,当驱动模块400温度低时,控制辅助电子膨胀阀610的开度减小,减少冷却循环支路600中的冷媒量,使驱动模块400能够产生热量,使驱动模块400的温度升高,从而调控驱动模块400的温度,并且驱动模块400之间通过导热件300能够传递热量,进一步提高驱动模块400之间的均衡性。
本申请实施例提供一种上述技术方案所述循环系统的控制方法,该方法的流程图如图12所示,每个所述驱动模块400中均设置有温度传感器,所述温度传感器用于检测所述驱动模块400的温度。
所述控制方法包括:通过所述温度传感器监测所述驱动模块400的温度Ta,并且设定目标温度Tft,且目标温度Tft处于安全温度区间内,即目标温度Tft满足,Tmin<Tft<Tmax,并且目标温度Tft等于环境温度Tb+偏差Td,偏差Td用于确保驱动模块400的温度高于环境温度,是确保没有凝露风险的最小偏差值,例如,15℃<Td<25℃,然后调节辅助电子膨胀阀610,使所述驱动模块400的温度稳定在所述目标温度。
当检测到有所述驱动模块400的温度Ta与环境温度Tb的温度差Tc小于第一预设温度t1时,则提升设定的所述目标温度的温度值,使所述辅助电子膨胀阀610的开度减小,减少所述冷媒管400内循环的冷媒量,使检测到所述温度差小于第一预设温度的驱动模块400的温度升高、并使该驱动模块400的温度与环境温度的温度差大于所述第一预设温度;
当每一个所述驱动模块400的温度与环境温度的温度差Tc均大于所述第一预设温度t1时,不需调整目标温度的温度值,然后不断调节辅助电子膨胀阀610,使驱动模块400的温度稳定在目标温度内即可。
本申请实施例提供的如上述循环系统的控制方法,通过在每个驱动模块400中均设置一个温度传感器,从而监测每一个驱动模块400的温度,并且在安全温度区间内取一个温度值,设定为目标温度,然后不断调节辅助电子膨胀阀610的开度大小,使驱动模块400的温度均稳定在目标温度附近,从而使驱动模块400的温度均处于安全温度区间内;
当其中一个或者多个驱动模块400的温度Ta与环境温度Tb的温度差Tc小于第一预设温度t1时,则判定该驱动模块400的温度过低,有产生凝露现象的可能;
因此,升高设定的目标温度的温度值,使辅助电子膨胀阀610的开度减小,减少冷媒管200内的冷媒量,即减少冷媒带走的热量,从而使所有驱动模块400的温度升高,并且基于导热件300可以传递相邻驱动模块400之间的热量,从而使温度高的驱动模块400向温度低的驱动模块400传递热量,进而使温度较低的驱动模块的温度升高、并使其温度与环境温度的温度差大于第一预设温度,避免发生凝露现象;
当每一个驱动模块400的温度与环境温度的温度差Tc均大于第一预设温度t1时,则判定没有凝露风险,此时,不需改变目标温度的温度值,只需不断调节辅助电子膨胀阀610,使驱动模块400的温度稳定在目标温度附近即可。
本申请实施例的控制方法通过设定一个目标温度,并通过温度传感器监测对应的驱动模块的温度,从而以目标温度为目标值,不断控制调节辅助电子膨胀阀610的开度,即调节冷媒带走的热量的多少,从而使驱动模块400的温度均稳定在目标温度附近,避免驱动模块400的温度过低,产生凝露现象。
监测驱动模块400的最低温度能够,确保驱动模块400不会产生凝露现象,但是如果驱动模块400的温度过高又会导致驱动模块400被损坏,影响室外机的正常运行,因此,如图12所示,当检测到有驱动模块400的温度Ta大于所述目标温度Tft时,所述辅助电子膨胀阀610的开度增大,增加冷媒管200内循环的冷媒量,以使检测到温度大于所述目标温度的驱动模块400的温度降低、并且使该驱动模块400的温度稳定在所述目标温度。
通过温度传感器监测每个驱动模块400的温度,当有驱动模块400的温度Ta大于安全温度区间的最大值Tmax时,则判定该驱动模块400的温度过高,有可能因温度过高而导致烧毁、损坏,此时,辅助电子膨胀阀610的开度增大, 即增加冷媒管200内循环的冷媒量,通过冷媒带走驱动模块400产生的热量,使检测到的温度大于安全温度区间的最大值的驱动模块400的温度降低,并且使其温度处于安全温度区间内,同时通过导热件300在相邻的驱动模块400之间传递热量,使多个驱动模块400之间的温度更加均衡,从而防止驱动模块400的温度过高。
综上所示,本申请实施例提供的控制方法,使通过设定合适的目标值,然后不断调节辅助电子膨胀阀610的开度大小,即调节冷媒量,从而使驱动模块400的温度均稳定在目标温度,由于目标温度时在安全温度区间内的取值;
因此,能够保证驱动模块400的温度处于安全温度区间内,详细来讲,当驱动模块400的温度过高时,辅助电子膨胀阀610的开度增大,即增加冷媒量,使驱动模块400的温度降低至目标温度即可,当驱动模块400的温度过低时,则升高目标温度的温度值,此时,辅助电子膨胀阀610的开度减小,即减少冷媒量,使驱动模块400的温度升高,从而围绕目标温度,不断调节辅助电子膨胀阀610的开度,使驱动模块400的温度稳定在目标温度,确保驱动模块400的温度不会过高也不会过低,以此保证室外机的正常稳定运行。
更进一步地,本申请实施例提供的控制方法是通过温度传感器监测各个驱动模块400的温度,并且设定一个目标温度值,通过PID控制方式,不断反馈驱动模块400的温度,并且不断调节辅助电子膨胀阀610的开度,增加或者减少冷媒管200内循环的冷媒量,对驱动模块400的温度进行不断的调节,最终保证驱动模块400的温度稳定在安全温度区间内,在调节过程中通过换热块100与导热件300的一体式结构,在驱动模块400之间传递热量,使驱动模块400之间的温度更加均衡,从而有效防止驱动模块因温度过低导致凝露的问题发生, 保证驱动模块400能够正常运行。
本申请实施例提供的多压缩机550的空调器,当全部压缩机550中只需要运行一个时,则控制靠近所述冷却循环支路600入口处的所述驱动模块400驱动其对应的所述压缩机550运行。
由于远离冷却循环支路600入口的压缩机550运行的情况下,当冷媒由冷却循环支路600的入口进入时,由于入口处驱动模块400没有运行,也就不需要散热,当冷媒经过入口处的驱动模块400时,会导致入口处的驱动模块400的温度进一步降低,因此,有可能出现凝露现象,因此,当只需要运行一个压缩机550时,控制入口处的压缩机550运行,从而当冷媒经过该压缩机550时,经过换热,使冷媒的温度升高,然后经过后面的未运行的驱动模块400时,则不会使未运行的驱动模块400的温度降低,防止出现凝露现象。
更进一步地,当全部所述压缩机550中需要运行多个时,则控制靠近所述冷却循环支路600入口处的多个所述驱动模块400驱动对应的多个所述压缩机550运行。
基于上述原因,为了防止未运行的驱动模块400被低温冷媒冷却,导致凝露现象发生,需要部分压缩机550运行时,则控制靠近冷却循环支路600入口处的多个驱动模块400依次运行,例如需要两个压缩机550运行,则控制距离冷却循环支路600入口最近的第一个和第二个驱动模块400运行即可,当冷媒经过运行的驱动模块400、并换热后,使冷媒的温度升高,从而保证冷媒经过未运行的驱动模块400时,不会使未运行的驱动模块400的温度过低,防止驱动模块400出现凝露现象。
需要指出的是,当需要运行部分压缩机550中的一个或者多个时,按上述 方式启动对应的驱动模块400、并驱动对应的压缩机550运行后,依然按照前述控制方法,设定目标温度,并且调节驱动模块400的温度,使驱动模块400的温度稳定在目标温度,从而保证驱动模块400的温度不会过高,也不会过低。
并且,本申请实施例提供的控制方法,也同样适用单压缩机550的室外机。
在本申请某些实施例中,所述第一预设温度为2℃-5℃。即当驱动模块400的温度与环境温度的温度差小于该温度值时,则判定该驱动模块400可能出现凝露现象,此时,及时调剂辅助电子膨胀阀610的开度,从而调节驱动模块400的温度,避免其温度进一步降低,发生凝露现象。
在本申请某些实施例中,所述安全温度区间为50℃-75℃。即当驱动模块400的温度大于75℃时,则判定该驱动模块400温度过高,可能出现烧毁、损坏,此时,及时调节辅助电子膨胀阀610的开度,从而调节驱动模块400的温度,避免其温度继续升高,发生烧坏、损坏。
在本说明书的描述中,具体特征、结构、材料或者特点可以在任何的一个或多个实施例或示例中以合适的方式结合。
以上所述,仅为本申请的具体实施方式,但本申请的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本申请揭露的技术范围内,可轻易想到变化或替换,都应涵盖在本申请的保护范围之内。因此,本申请的保护范围应以所述权利要求的保护范围为准。
