Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of compressor controller technology, and in particular to a method, system and related equipment for controlling compressor voltage drop. Background Technology

[0002] In modern variable frequency compressors with electrolytic-free control technology, the bus is a small film capacitor (3.5uF), which is only a fraction of the size of a traditional electrolytic capacitor. The energy stored is limited, and most of the energy required for compressor operation must be obtained from the mains power input. However, mains power has stability issues, such as voltage drops (voltage drops to 40% of rated voltage) and short-term power outages, which can severely affect the reliable operation of the variable frequency compressor.

[0003] When a compressor is operating under heavy load or at high speed, a sudden voltage drop can cause the compressor to shut down due to overcurrent, severely impacting the customer's experience. On the other hand, the deep magnetic field weakening caused by the voltage drop may lead to compressor demagnetization, seriously affecting the reliable operation of the compressor. Therefore, how to maintain reliable operation of the compressor when the voltage drops is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0031] It should also be further understood that the term "and / or" as used in this specification and the appended claims refers to any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes such combinations.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the compressor voltage drop control method of the present invention. In this embodiment, the method includes steps S110 to S150:

[0033] Step S110: Collect the mains voltage according to the preset collection cycle, and calculate the effective voltage of the mains voltage based on the mains voltage;

[0034] Step S120: Calculate the amplitude voltage of the mains power based on the effective voltage to obtain the amplitude voltage;

[0035] In this embodiment, in order to make full use of the inherent physical quantities in vector control and reduce the overhead caused by adding a new control loop, the mains voltage is collected according to a preset acquisition period, and the effective voltage of the mains is calculated based on the mains voltage. The specific formula is as follows:

[0036] U flt (n) 2 =(U ad (n)*U ad (n)-U flt (n-1) 2 )*τT s +U flt (n-1)2 ,

[0037] Among them, T s Indicates the acquisition period; U ad (n) represents the mains voltage collected in the nth sampling; U flt (n) represents the effective voltage of the mains voltage sampled in the nth time; U flt (n-1) represents the effective voltage of the mains voltage collected in the (n-1)th time; τ represents the filtering time factor, with a value between 10 and 20.

[0038] Next, the amplitude voltage U of the mains power is calculated based on the effective voltage. max (n), the specific formula is as follows:

[0039]

[0040] Step S130: Calculate the maximum operating speed of the compressor based on the amplitude voltage to obtain the maximum operating speed of the compressor;

[0041] In this embodiment, in order to determine the relationship between the amplitude voltage and the compressor's maximum operating speed, the compressor's maximum operating speed is calculated based on whether the amplitude voltage exceeds a preset peak voltage threshold. The compressor's maximum operating speed is calculated using the following formula:

[0042]

[0043] N max (n) = MAX(N) max1 (n),N min ),

[0044] Where, N max1 (n) represents the maximum compressor speed calculated based on the amplitude voltage; N min This indicates the minimum permissible operating speed of the compressor, typically 1200 rpm. Operating below this speed will increase compressor vibration; therefore, it should not be operated below this speed. N max2 This indicates the maximum permissible operating speed of the compressor, typically 4500 rpm; p represents the proportional factor, with a value between 0.8 and 1; k e The back electromotive force coefficient of the compressor is a known parameter, typically ranging from 30 to 50; N max (n) represents the compressor's maximum operating speed; MAX() represents taking the maximum value.

[0045] Step S140: Calculate the required speed adjustment of the compressor based on the maximum operating speed and the preset speed adjustment function to obtain the speed adjustment amount;

[0046] Step S150: Adjust the set speed of the compressor according to the speed adjustment amount.

[0047] In this embodiment, a PI controller is used to calculate the speed adjustment amount. When the compressor's set speed is greater than the maximum operating speed, the required speed adjustment amount is calculated based on the maximum operating speed and a preset speed adjustment function. The compressor's set speed is then adjusted according to this speed adjustment amount to reduce the compressor's current and prevent a sudden increase in current when the mains voltage drops, which could lead to compressor overcurrent shutdown and demagnetization. The required speed adjustment amount ΔN(n) is calculated using the following formula:

[0048]

[0049] Where ΔN(n) represents the speed adjustment amount, N s (n) represents the compressor's set speed, K p and K i These are the proportional and integral parameters of the linear controller, respectively.

[0050] Furthermore, to improve the timeliness and anti-interference capability of control, this application adopts a type-two system tuning strategy. p and K i The specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0051]

[0052] Among them, J s K represents the moment of inertia of the compressor. t T represents the torque coefficient of the compressor. s N represents the control period. b I represents the voltage scaling factor. b This represents the current calibration coefficient.

[0053] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 The diagram shows a speed controller incorporating the compressor voltage drop control method of this invention. It collects the effective voltage of the mains power supply and calculates the amplitude voltage using the compressor voltage drop control method. Based on the amplitude voltage, it calculates the compressor's maximum operating speed N using the aforementioned compressor voltage drop control method. max (n); The voltage cutoff negative feedback control module is based on the maximum operating speed N. max (n) Calculate the speed adjustment amount ΔN(n) according to the above-mentioned compressor voltage drop control method; finally, combine the speed adjustment amount ΔN(n) and the compressor set speed N. s (n) and the actual speed N of the compressor r (n) Input the speed controller, and the speed controller outputs the compressor torque T. e(n).

[0054] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, Figure 4 The graph shows the test voltage and current of a compressor operating without using the compressor voltage drop control method of this invention. Figure 5 The diagram shows the test values ​​of voltage and current during compressor operation using the voltage drop control method of this invention. By comparison, the compressor without the voltage drop control method of this invention shows no current fluctuation during voltage drops, indicating that the compressor stops operating; while the compressor using the voltage drop control method of this invention shows a brief current fluctuation during voltage drops, followed by a return to normal fluctuation, indicating that the compressor can continue operating.

[0055] This method calculates the amplitude voltage of the mains power during compressor operation and determines the compressor's maximum operating speed based on this amplitude voltage. When the set speed exceeds the maximum operating speed, it calculates the speed adjustment amount based on the maximum operating speed and a speed adjustment function. This adjustment amount corrects the compressor's set speed, reducing current and preventing sudden current increases that could lead to compressor overcurrent shutdown and demagnetization when the mains voltage drops. Furthermore, this method is only triggered when the voltage drops; when the voltage returns to normal, the compressor's operating speed automatically returns to the original set speed. This fully utilizes the physical quantities that must be calculated in vector control, requiring only a small increase in overhead to complete the voltage drop compensation algorithm.
