AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The problem with existing anti-surge circuits in air-conditioning equipment is that the current of the air-conditioning compressor or fan flows through the PTC resistor, causing the PTC to heat up.

Benefits of technology

By delaying the power relay, the PTC resistor heats up due to current residue, the PTC temperature is reduced, the circuit of the air conditioner equipment is ensured to operate safely, reliably and normally, and the problem of the inverter module not being able to power on normally.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of circuit control, and in particular to a control method and system for a surge protection circuit and air conditioning equipment. Background Art

[0002] Among major air conditioner manufacturers, surge protection solutions are already very mature technologies, and each company has also achieved good results in suppressing surge currents. When the air conditioner inverter module has a surge protection function, most surge protection circuits use relays + thermistors PTC / cement resistors. When powered on, the PTC / cement resistor is first connected to the main circuit to prevent excessive charging current from impacting the rectifier diode and causing damage. After the electrolytic capacitor in the main circuit is charged, the relay is attracted to short-circuit the PTC / cement resistor, thus achieving the surge protection function. However, other problems caused by the surge protection circuit need to be considered in detail. The surge protection function is also used in the case of a phase loss in the power grid or a low voltage in the power grid. That is, when the grid loses a phase or the grid voltage is too low, the power relay is disconnected and the PTC is reconnected to prevent a large inrush current. Since the power relay is disconnected, the PTC is connected to the main circuit. At this time, the current of the air-conditioning compressor or the current of the fan may still remain. This current flowing through the PTC will cause the PTC to heat up. If the room temperature is high and this is repeated several times, the temperature of the PTC will rise a lot, resulting in failure to charge normally and the frequency conversion module cannot be powered on and run normally.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a control scheme with surge protection function, which can not only realize the surge protection function better, but also avoid the problem of heating caused by the air-conditioning compressor current or the residual current of the fan flowing through the PTC resistor, thereby inducing the problem of the frequency conversion module failing to power on normally, so as to ensure the safe, reliable and normal operation of the air-conditioning circuit.

[0053] DC bus voltage: The DC bus is the bus voltage that converts AC into DC after rectification in the frequency converter, and converts DC into AC in the inverter; the DC bus voltage is the bus voltage after rectification and filtering.

[0054] PWM pulse width modulation: Pulse width modulation is an analog control method that modulates the bias of the transistor base or MOS tube gate according to the change of the corresponding load to achieve the change of the transistor or MOS tube conduction time, thereby achieving the change of the output of the switching regulated power supply.

[0055] Phase loss fault: refers to the loss of one phase of the three-phase input power supply of the frequency converter module.

[0056] Combine the following Figure 1 The main flow chart of an embodiment of a method for controlling a surge protection circuit of the present invention is shown to describe the implementation of the present invention.

[0057] Step S110, determining that the DC bus voltage of the inverter is undervoltage and / or the phase loss detection circuit detects a phase loss fault;

[0058] In one embodiment, if the DC bus voltage of the inverter is lower than a preset threshold voltage, it indicates that undervoltage has occurred; or, if the phase loss detection circuit detects a phase loss fault when a three-phase power supply is input and outputs a phase loss fault alarm signal, it indicates that a phase loss fault has been detected; wherein the threshold voltage is -30% of the rated voltage value, and the rated voltage is the optimal voltage when the inverter works normally for a long time.

[0059] Furthermore, if a DC bus voltage detection circuit detects an undervoltage, or a phase loss detection circuit detects a phase loss signal, that is, an undervoltage occurs or a phase loss fault is found, it indicates that the power grid fluctuates or stops instantly.

[0060] In one example, when the grid voltage fluctuates and / or loses power momentarily, if the DC bus voltage detection circuit detects that the DC bus voltage is lower than a preset threshold voltage, it indicates that undervoltage has occurred; wherein the threshold voltage is -30% of the rated voltage value, and the rated voltage is the optimal voltage for the inverter to work normally for a long time; if the rated voltage value of the inverter is 220 volts, when the DC bus voltage value is detected to be 150 volts, which is lower than -30% of the threshold voltage value, it is determined that undervoltage has occurred.

[0061] Step S120, according to the determined undervoltage or phase failure, after stopping the operation of the compressor or fan and turning off the PWM pulse width modulation output, the power relay is disconnected after a delay period of time to allow the residual current of the compressor or fan to pass through the relay.

[0062] In one embodiment, once a grid fluctuation or instantaneous outage occurs, that is, an undervoltage or phase loss fault is detected, the microcontroller unit MCU can be used for control, such as controlling the compressor or fan and other operating structures to shut down and disconnect the pulse width modulation, and further, the power relay before the PTC of the surge protection circuit is connected to the main circuit needs to be disconnected.

[0068] After the delay of 10 ms, the switch of the power relay controlled by the two transistors is in an off state;

[0069] When the power is turned on again, the PTC resistor is connected to the main circuit;

[0070] When the electrolytic capacitor in the main circuit is fully charged, the switch of the power relay is closed to short-circuit the PTC resistor again.

[0071] Specifically, after the microcontroller unit MCU stops the operation of the compressor or fan and turns off the output of the PWM pulse width modulation, during the delay of 10ms, the microcontroller unit MCU outputs a high level, the two transistors are turned on, and the driving current is output to the power relay through the two transistors, the switch of the power relay is controlled to be in a closed state, the PTC resistor of the surge protection circuit is short-circuited, and the residual current of the compressor or fan flows through the switch of the power relay; after the delay of 10ms, the microcontroller unit MCU outputs a low level, the two transistors are cut off, and the switch of the power relay is controlled to be in an open state; when the power is turned on again, the PTC resistor is connected to the main circuit; when the electrolytic capacitor in the main circuit is charged, the switch of the power relay is attracted, and the PTC resistor is short-circuited again. Among them, the electrolytic capacitor in the main circuit is used to filter and smooth the voltage waveform.

[0079] In one implementation, a built-in timer is used to start timing, and after a delay of 10 ms, the power relay is controlled to disconnect through an amplifier circuit.
