[0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2008-125248 Summary of the invention

[0006] Technical problem to be solved by the invention

[0007] exist Figure 6In the air conditioner 100 shown, which includes an outdoor unit 110 connected to an external power source 150 and an indoor unit 120 powered by the outdoor unit 110, a noise current is generated due to the switch of the inverter circuit 127 of the control substrate 123 provided in the indoor unit 120. The noise current is propagated as a conducted noise to the device 130 connected to the connection terminal 118 via the connection power line 162 and the connection ground line 172. Normally, in order to reduce the conducted noise generated from the indoor unit 120, a noise filter 124 is provided in the indoor unit 120. In addition, in order to reduce the conducted noise generated from the outdoor unit 110, a noise filter 114 is provided in the outdoor unit 110. However, the inventors of the present disclosure have found that the noise filter 114 of the outdoor unit 110 can also be used as a noise filter for reducing the conducted noise generated from the indoor unit 120. By causing the noise current generated from the indoor unit 120 to flow back in the noise path N1, the noise propagated to the device 130 connected to the connection terminal 118 is reduced. The noise path N1 includes the motor 122, the housing 121 of the indoor unit 120, the connection ground line 172, the housing 111 of the outdoor unit 110, the noise filter 114, the first connection power line 163, the connection power line 162, and the second connection power line 164. By reducing the conducted noise generated from the indoor unit 120 by using the noise filter 114 of the outdoor unit 110, the noise filter 124 of the indoor unit 120 can be simplified or removed.

[0008] Figure 7 Published in Figure 6 The air conditioner 100 shown in the figure is provided with a magnetic body 140 to implement a measure for the radiation noise generated from the outdoor unit 110. A noise current is generated due to the switch of the inverter circuit 117 provided on the control substrate 113 of the outdoor unit 110. Since the noise current flows in the noise path E1, radiation noise using the connection power line 162 as an antenna is generated. The noise path E1 includes the motor 112, the housing 111 of the outdoor unit 110, the ground E, the connection power line 162, and the first connection power line 163. By providing the magnetic body 140 on the first connection power line 163 in the noise path E1, the noise current is reduced, and the radiation noise is reduced.

[0009] However, in Figure 7 In the air conditioner 100 shown in FIG. 1 , the inventors of the present disclosure have found that, among the noise currents generated by the switching of the inverter circuit 127, the current of the noise path N1 (see FIG. Figure 6) is reduced, while the current of the noise path N2 is increased. The noise path N2 includes the motor 122, the housing 121, the connection ground wire 172, the connection terminal 118, the connection ground wire 132, the device 130, the connection power line 131, the connection power line 162, and the second connection power line 164. It was found that the main factor for the reduction of the current of the noise path N1 and the increase of the current of the noise path N2 is that since the magnetic body 140 is provided on the first connection power line 163, the resistance of the path of the magnetic body 140 part is increased, the noise current flowing in the noise filter 114 of the outdoor unit 110 is reduced, and the backflow is hindered.

[0010] Based on the above findings, an object of the present disclosure is to provide an air conditioner capable of reducing the influence of noise with a simple structure.

[0032] The first unit 10 has a magnetic body 40 in the housing 11. The magnetic body 40 has a hole through which the first connecting power line 63 and the first ground line 71b pass. The magnetic body 40 is configured in the following manner: when the current flows from one of the first unit 10 and the second unit 20 to the other in the first connecting power line 63 and the first ground line 71b, the direction of the magnetic flux generated in the magnetic body 40 due to the current flowing in the first connecting power line 63 is the same as the direction of the magnetic flux generated in the magnetic body 40 due to the current flowing in the first ground line 71b. In one example, the magnetic body 40 is a ferrite core. The ferrite core is formed by a collection of one or more ferrite cores.

[0038] Figure 2 The air conditioner 1 shown in the figure shows a case where a third unit 30 is further included, wherein power is supplied from the first unit 10 to the third unit 30. The third unit 30 includes the same structure as the second unit 20. The third unit 30 can be connected to the first unit 10 through the second connection terminal 18b, and can also be connected to the first unit 10 through a third connection terminal (not shown) that is different from the first connection terminal 18a and the second connection terminal 18b. In the case where the third unit 30 is connected to the first unit 10 through the third connection terminal, the third connection terminal is connected to the second connection terminal 18b through a connection power line and a connection ground line (not shown). In the example shown in the figure, the third unit is connected to the second connection terminal 18b through a connection power line 31 and a connection ground line 32.

[0039] The operation of the air conditioner 1 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0040] When the operation of the air conditioner 1 starts, the noise current flows to the housing 21 through the parasitic capacitance C6 of the motor 22 as the inverter circuit 27 of the control substrate 23 is switched. A part of the noise current flowing to the housing 21 flows to the first unit 10 through the connection ground line 72. The noise current flowing to the first unit 10 returns to the inverter circuit 27 of the control substrate 23 through the first ground line 71b, the housing 11, the first ground line 71a, the noise filter 14, the first connection power line 63, and the connection power line 62. A part of the noise current generated by the switching of the inverter circuit 27 of the control substrate 23 flows through the first ground line 71b, the housing 11, the first ground line 71a, the noise filter 14, the first connection power line 63, and the connection power line 62. Figure 6 The noise path N1 shown is reversed, so the conducted noise is reduced through the noise filter 14 of the first unit 10. The reduced conducted noise is the noise terminal voltage in the second connection terminal 18b.

[0041] When the operation of the air conditioner 1 starts, the noise current flows to the housing 11 through the parasitic capacitance C1 of the motor 12 as the inverter circuit 17 of the control substrate 13 is switched. A part of the noise current flowing to the housing 11 flows to the ground E through the parasitic capacitance C2, and flows from the ground E to the connection power line 62 through the parasitic capacitance C4. The noise current flowing to the connection power line 62 returns to the inverter circuit 17 of the control substrate 13 through the second connection terminal 18b and the first connection power line 63. A part of the noise current generated by the switching of the inverter circuit 17 of the control substrate 13 flows through the second connection terminal 18b and the first connection power line 63. Figure 7 The noise path E1 shown. In addition, a part of the noise current flowing to the housing 11 flows to the ground E through the parasitic capacitor C2, and flows from the ground E to the connection ground 72 through the parasitic capacitor C3. The noise current flowing to the connection ground 72 returns to the inverter circuit 17 of the control substrate 13 through the second connection terminal 18b and the first ground 71b, the housing 11, and the first ground 71a. A part of the noise current generated by the switching of the inverter circuit 17 of the control substrate 13 passes through the noise path E2. The noise path E2 includes the motor 12, the housing 11 of the first unit 10, the ground E, the connection ground 72, the first ground 71b, the housing 11 of the first unit 10, and the first ground 71a. The noise current flowing in the noise path E1 and the noise path E2 is reduced because the magnetic field component of the noise current flowing through the magnetic body 40 provided in the first connection power line 63 and the first ground 71b is converted into heat due to the magnetic loss of the magnetic body 40.

[0042] Effects of the air conditioner 1 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0043] Since the noise filter 14 of the first unit 10 can reduce the conducted noise generated by the operation of the second unit 20, the noise filter 24 of the second unit 20 can be simplified or eliminated. In addition, the radiation noise generated by the operation of the first unit 10 using the connection power line 62 as an antenna and the radiation noise using the connection ground line 72 as an antenna can be reduced by the magnetic body 40. Therefore, noise measures can be implemented with a simple structure.

[0044] The first connection power line 63 and the first ground line 71b pass through the hole of the magnetic body 40. The noise current from the second unit 20 that flows back between the first unit 10 and the second unit 20 flows in the first connection power line 63 and the first ground line 71b in the opposite direction. The direction of the magnetic flux generated in the magnetic body 40 due to the current flowing in the first connection power line 63 is opposite to the direction of the magnetic flux generated in the magnetic body 40 due to the current flowing in the first ground line 71b, and the magnetic fluxes cancel each other out, so the magnetic body 40 does not hinder the return flow. Therefore, the conduction noise generated by the operation of the second unit 20 can be reduced.

[0045] (Second Embodiment)

[0046] Reference Figure 3 , an air conditioner 1 of a second embodiment is described. Compared with the air conditioner 1 of the first embodiment, the air conditioner 1 of this embodiment is different in that, instead of the ground wire 72, the refrigerant pipe 80 passes through the hole of the magnetic body 40. In the following description, for convenience, the same symbols are marked on the components that have the same functions as the components of the air conditioner 1 of the first embodiment, and the description of their functions is omitted.

[0047] The noise current generated by the switching of the inverter circuit 27 of the control substrate 23 flows to the first unit 10 through the refrigerant pipe 80. The refrigerant pipe 80 passes through the hole of the magnetic body 40. The refrigerant pipe 80 after passing through is connected to the housing 11 by a conductive bonding member not shown. The noise current returns to the inverter circuit 27 of the control substrate 23 through the housing 11, the first ground line 71a, the noise filter 14, the first connection power line 63, the connection power line 62, and the second connection power line 64. The conducted noise generated from the inverter circuit 27 is reduced by the noise filter 14 of the first unit 10.

[0048] According to the air conditioner 1 of the second embodiment, the following effects can be further obtained.

[0049] The refrigerant pipe 80 functions as a connection ground wire that connects the first unit 10 and the ground E of the second unit 20. Therefore, the structure of the connection ground wire 72 can be omitted, and noise measures can be implemented with a simpler structure.

[0050] (Third Embodiment)

[0051] Reference Figure 4 , an air conditioner 1 of a third embodiment is described. Compared with the air conditioner 1 of the first embodiment or the second embodiment, the air conditioner 1 of this embodiment is different in that a protrusion 90 for connecting to the connection ground wire 72 is provided on the first unit 10. In the following description, for convenience, the same symbols are marked on the components that have the same functions as the components of the air conditioner 1 of the first embodiment or the second embodiment, and the description of their functions is omitted.

[0052] The first unit 10 includes a protrusion 90 protruding from the housing 11. The protrusion 90 includes a main body 91 and a connection terminal 92. The main body 91 is formed of a conductive material. In one example, the main body 91 is made of the same sheet metal as the housing 11. The connection terminal 92 connects the connection ground line 72 to the main body 91. The first connection power line 63 and the main body 91 pass through the hole of the magnetic body 40.

[0053] The noise current generated by the switching of the inverter circuit 27 of the control substrate 23 flows to the main body 91 through the connection ground line 72. The noise current flowing to the main body 91 returns to the inverter circuit 27 of the control substrate 23 through the housing 11, the first ground line 71a, the noise filter 14, the first connection power line 63, the connection power line 62, and the second connection power line 64. The conducted noise generated from the inverter circuit 27 is reduced by the noise filter 14 of the first unit 10.
