Abstract

A method and a device for controlling a low-temperature refrigeration air valve, the method includes: acquiring a current environment temperature; according to the current environment temperature, determining an initial target pressure of the current system and an initial opening degree of an air valve; acquiring an actual pressure of the current system and a target pressure of the current system; and adjusting an opening degree of the air valve according to a difference value between the target pressure of the current system and the actual pressure of the current system, wherein the air valve is disposed at a low-temperature cover. An opening degree of the air valve is adjusted according to the difference value between the target pressure of the current system and the actual pressure of the current system, to meet the refrigeration demand of the user in an ultra-low temperature environment, expanding the operation scope of refrigeration.

Claims (20)

1. A device for controlling a low-temperature refrigeration air valve, comprising:

a first acquiring module, configured to acquire a current environment temperature;

a determining module, configured to determine an initial target pressure of a current system and an initial opening degree of the air valve according to the current environment temperature;

a second acquiring module, configured to acquire an actual pressure of the current system and a target pressure of the current system; and

an adjusting module, configured to adjust an opening degree of the air valve according to a difference value between the target pressure of the current system and the actual pressure of the current system,

wherein the air valve is disposed at a low-temperature cover,

wherein the determining module is further configured to determine an adjustment extent of the opening degree of the air valve based on the initial target pressure of the current system and the initial opening degree of the air valve,

wherein the first acquiring module is configured to acquire the current environment temperature at intervals of a preset time period,

the determining module is configured to adjust the target pressure of the current system according to the current environment temperature, and

the second acquiring module is configured to acquire an adjusted target pressure of the current system.

2. The device for controlling a low-temperature refrigeration air valve according to claim 1 , wherein the actual pressure of the current system is a discharge pressure of a compressor or a condensing pressure of a condenser.

3. The device for controlling a low-temperature refrigeration air valve according to claim 1 , wherein the adjusting module is configured to adjust the opening degree of the air valve according to an adjustment extent of the opening degree of the air valve,

wherein the adjustment extent of the opening degree of the air valve is obtained according to:

Δ X=f (Δ Xt )+ g (Δ P )+ h (Δ Pt ),

wherein ΔXt indicates an adjustment extent of the opening degree of the air valve for a previous time period t, ΔP indicates a difference value between the actual pressure of the current system and the target pressure of the current system at a current time, and ΔPt indicates a difference value between the actual pressure of the current system and the target pressure of the current system for the previous time period t.

4. The device for controlling a low-temperature refrigeration air valve according to claim 3 , wherein

f (Δ Xt )= f 0 +f 1 *ΔXt+f 2 *ΔXt{circumflex over ( )} 2+ . . . + fn*ΔXt{circumflex over ( )}n;

g )Δ P )= g 0 +g 1 *ΔP+g 2 *ΔP{circumflex over ( )}+ . . . +gn*ΔP{circumflex over ( )}n;

h (Δ Pt )= h 0 +h 1 *ΔPt+h 2 *ΔPt{circumflex over ( )} 2+ . . . + hn*ΔPt{circumflex over ( )}n,

in which f0 to fn, g0 to gn and h0 to hn are preset coefficients.
