Description

Technical Field

[0002] Currently, household appliances with variable-frequency temperature control (such as air conditioners and refrigerators) often use the operation of a compressor to drive the flow of refrigerant to achieve heat exchange and temperature control. However, during the compressor startup process, there are often issues with high startup power consumption and loud startup noise.

[0003] In the related art, a method for starting a compressor includes: using the preset driving torque of the compressor as a constant torque control value, driving the compressor to start and run until the speed of the compressor reaches a preset speed; the preset speed is less than the target speed; after the speed of the compressor reaches the preset speed, reducing the driving torque of the compressor until the speed of the compressor reaches the target speed.

[0005] This method can reduce power consumption and noise during compressor startup by selecting an appropriate preset drive torque. However, as the compressor operates under different operating conditions, the internal rotor will gradually rust and become stuck. When starting the compressor with a fixed preset drive torque, the preset drive torque may not be enough to rotate the rotor, resulting in compressor startup failure and low startup reliability.

[0028] In order to be able to understand the features and technical content of the embodiments of the present disclosure in more detail, the implementation of the embodiments of the present disclosure is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings are for reference only and are not used to limit the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0032] The term "and / or" describes an association between objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or A and B.

[0033] The term "correspondence" may refer to an association relationship or a binding relationship. The correspondence between A and B means that there is an association relationship or a binding relationship between A and B.

[0034] Currently, for household appliances with variable frequency temperature control (such as air conditioners, refrigerators, etc.), the flow of refrigerant is often driven by the operation of the compressor to achieve the function of heat exchange and temperature control. As the compressor operates in different usage environments, there are problems with startup power consumption and high noise caused by differences in rotor position when the compressor is shut down. At the same time, since the refrigerant pipeline cannot completely remove moisture during vacuum pumping when the household appliance leaves the factory or is subsequently installed or moved, the moisture contained in the refrigerant causes the internal rotor to gradually rust and even become stuck. Therefore, the compressor will have difficulty starting as the usage time increases.

[0035] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a household appliance, comprising a compressor, a first data collector, a second data collector, a third data collector, and a processor. The compressor is used to drive the flow of refrigerant. The first data collector is provided in the compressor, and is used to detect the rotor angle and current speed of the compressor. The second data collector is provided in the household appliance, and is used to record the downtime duration before the compressor is started. The third data collector is provided in the refrigerant pipeline of the household appliance, and is used to detect the moisture content of the refrigerant. The processor is electrically connected to the compressor, the first data collector, the second data collector, and the third data collector, and is configured to adjust the target torque of the compressor according to the rotor angle, current speed, downtime duration, and moisture content of the refrigerant detected by the first data collector, the second data collector, and the third data collector, so as to realize the startup operation of the compressor.

[0036] Combine Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for starting a compressor, comprising:

[0037] S210: When receiving the compressor start instruction, the third data collector detects the moisture content of the refrigerant.

[0038] S220: When the moisture content of the refrigerant is less than the content threshold, the processor drives the compressor using the preset torque as the target torque.

[0039] S230: The first data collector detects the rotor angle of the compressor.

[0040] S240: When the rotor angle is less than or equal to the first angle, the processor adjusts the target torque of the compressor.

[0041] Using the method for starting a compressor provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, when a compressor start instruction is received, the moisture content of the refrigerant in the pipeline is first detected to determine whether the moisture in the refrigerant will damage the compressor. When the moisture content of the refrigerant is less than the content threshold, the water content in the refrigerant is small and the impact on the compressor is small, and the compressor can be used normally. First, the compressor is driven with the stored preset torque as the target torque, and the rotor angle of the compressor is detected to determine whether the compressor can rotate normally. When the rotor angle is less than or equal to the first angle, the rotor cannot rotate normally, resulting in the problem of difficulty in starting the compressor, and the target torque of the compressor is adjusted to enable the compressor to start normally. By detecting the rotor angle of the compressor after starting with the target torque, the target torque is adjusted to enable the rotor to rotate normally when the rotor rotation fails to meet the requirements, thereby avoiding compressor start-up failure and improving the reliability of the compressor start-up.

[0042] Optionally, the value range of the content threshold is [18, 22]%. Preferably, the content threshold is 19%, 20% or 21%. When the household appliance is used for the first time (the preset torque will be automatically updated when used subsequently), the value range of the preset torque is [25, 35] Nm. Preferably, the preset torque is 28 Nm, 30 Nm or 32 Nm. The value range of the first angle is [360, 380]°. Preferably, the first angle is 365°, 370° or 375°. In this way, when the value of the content threshold is within the above range, it can be distinguished whether the moisture content of the refrigerant will cause the rotor of the compressor to rust and be damaged during use, thereby increasing the service life of the compressor. When the value of the preset torque is within the above range, the compressor is started with low consumption and low noise when the household appliance is used for the first time, which plays a role in energy saving and noise reduction. When the value of the first rotation angle is within the above range, it is possible to distinguish whether the rotor of the compressor can make a complete rotation under the preset torque, thereby determining whether the compressor has difficulty starting under the preset torque.

[0043] Combine Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for starting a compressor, comprising:

[0044] S210: When receiving the compressor start instruction, the third data collector detects the moisture content of the refrigerant.

[0045] S220: When the moisture content of the refrigerant is less than the content threshold, the processor drives the compressor using the preset torque as the target torque.

[0046] S230: The first data collector detects the rotor angle of the compressor.

[0047] S250: When the rotor angle is less than or equal to the first angle, the processor determines a target correction coefficient of the target torque according to the rotor angle.

[0048] At step S260 , the processor adjusts the target torque of the compressor according to the target correction coefficient, and returns to step S230 .

[0049] In the compressor startup method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the rotor angle is less than or equal to a first angle and the target torque needs to be adjusted, the degree to which the target torque drives the compressor operation is first determined based on the rotor angle to determine a target correction coefficient for adjusting the target torque. The target torque is then adjusted based on the target correction coefficient so that the target torque can drive the compressor to start normally. By adjusting the target torque based on the rotor angle, the rotor rotates normally, avoiding compressor startup failure and improving the reliability of compressor startup.

[0050] Optionally, the processor in step S250 determines a target correction coefficient for the target torque based on the rotor angle, including: when the rotor angle is greater than a second angle, the processor determines a first correction coefficient. The processor determines the first correction coefficient as the target correction coefficient. When the rotor angle is less than or equal to the second angle and greater than zero, the processor determines a second correction coefficient. The processor determines the second correction coefficient as the target correction coefficient. Thus, because the rotor angle reflects the degree to which the target torque drives the compressor rotor, the target torque needs to be adjusted accordingly based on the rotor angle. When the rotor angle is less than or equal to the first angle and greater than the second angle, the target torque can cause significant rotor rotation, and a significant correction to the target torque is not required, thereby using the first correction coefficient. When the rotor angle is less than or equal to the second angle and greater than zero, the target torque can cause minimal rotor rotation, and a significant correction to the target torque is required, thereby using the second correction coefficient. By using different correction coefficients to adjust the target torque at different rotor angles, compressor startup failures are avoided, thereby improving compressor startup reliability.

[0051] Optionally, the second rotation angle has a value range of [170, 190]°. Preferably, the second rotation angle has a value of 175°, 180°, or 185°. Thus, when the second rotation angle is within the above range, the degree to which the target torque contributes to the rotor drive can be distinguished, thereby adjusting the target torque in different ways to achieve reliable startup of the compressor.

[0052] Combine Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for starting a compressor, comprising:

[0053] S210: When receiving the compressor start instruction, the third data collector detects the moisture content of the refrigerant.

[0054] S220: When the moisture content of the refrigerant is less than the content threshold, the processor drives the compressor using the preset torque as the target torque.

[0055] S230: The first data collector detects the rotor angle of the compressor.

[0056] S241: When the rotor angle is less than or equal to the first angle, the processor automatically increases the number of startup times of the compressor.

[0057] S242: The processor obtains the stop duration of the compressor before starting.

[0058] S243: The processor obtains the number of startups of the compressor.

[0059] S251, when the rotor angle is greater than the second angle, the processor determines a first correction coefficient according to the shutdown duration, the number of starts, and the moisture content of the refrigerant.

[0060] At S252 , the processor determines the first correction coefficient as the target correction coefficient and executes step S261 .

[0061] S253: When the rotor angle is less than or equal to the second angle and greater than zero, the processor determines a second correction coefficient according to the shutdown duration, the number of starts, and the moisture content of the refrigerant.

[0062] S254: The processor determines the second correction coefficient as the target correction coefficient.

[0063] S261: The processor determines the product of the target correction coefficient and the target torque as the correction torque.

[0064] S262: The processor determines the sum of the correction torque and the target torque as the corrected target torque.

[0065] At step S263, the processor determines whether the target torque is less than or equal to the torque threshold. If so, the processor executes step S264. If not, the processor executes step S265.

[0066] S264: The processor controls the compressor to operate at the target torque and returns to step S230.

[0067] S265, the processor issues a compressor fault code reminder.

[0068] The longer the shutdown duration, the larger the first and second correction factors. The more startups, the larger the first and second correction factors. The higher the refrigerant moisture content, the larger the first and second correction factors.

[0069] Using the compressor startup method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, if the rotor angle is less than or equal to a first angle, the compressor startup fails. The number of compressor startups is automatically incremented to adjust the target torque. The downtime duration and number of startups before the compressor is started are obtained. A first correction factor or a second correction factor is determined based on the downtime duration, number of startups, and refrigerant moisture content, so that the degree of target torque adjustment corresponds to the variables affecting the rotation of the compressor rotor. The longer the downtime duration before the compressor is started, the more severe the rotor rust is, and the higher the target torque required. The more the compressor is started, the more startup failures occur at the target torque, and the higher the target torque required for startup. The higher the refrigerant moisture content, the more susceptible the compressor rotor is to rust, and the higher the target torque required for startup. After determining the target correction factor, it is multiplied by the target torque to obtain the correction torque, and then added to the target torque to obtain the corrected target torque, and the compressor startup operation is attempted again. If the target torque is less than or equal to the torque threshold, operating the compressor at the target torque will not damage the compressor, and the compressor startup is attempted again. If the target torque exceeds the torque threshold, starting the compressor at the target torque could damage the compressor, or the maximum torque could fail to reach the target torque, resulting in a compressor fault code alerting the user to repair the compressor. By adjusting the compressor's target torque in different ways under different circumstances, compressor startup failures are avoided, improving compressor startup reliability.

[0070] Optionally, the torque threshold value is in the range of [45, 55] Nm. Preferably, the torque threshold value is 48 Nm, 50 Nm, or 52 Nm. Thus, when the torque threshold value is within the above range, it is possible to distinguish whether starting at the target torque will damage the compressor, thereby increasing the service life of the compressor.

[0071] Optionally, the processor in step S251 determines a first correction coefficient according to the shutdown duration, the number of starts, and the moisture content of the refrigerant, including: The processor in step S253 determines a second correction coefficient based on the shutdown duration, the number of starts, and the moisture content of the refrigerant, including: Wherein, α is the first correction coefficient, β is the second correction coefficient, n is the number of starts, t is the downtime duration, a is the refrigerant moisture content, b is the difference in the number of starts, and s is the time conversion coefficient. The difference in the number of starts can be used to distinguish the difference between the first correction coefficient and the second correction coefficient, and its value can be 1, 2, 3, or other positive integers. The time conversion coefficient depends on the unit of the downtime duration. When the downtime duration is measured in seconds, the time conversion coefficient is generally 1 or 2. When the downtime duration is measured in minutes, the time conversion coefficient is generally 60 or 120. In this way, the first correction coefficient and the second correction coefficient can be specifically calculated according to the formula, and the first correction coefficient and the second correction coefficient are positively correlated with the downtime duration, the number of starts, and the refrigerant moisture content, thereby compensating for the degree of compressor startup obstruction. By accurately calculating the target correction coefficient of the target torque, the adjustment degree of the target torque meets the requirements of the compressor startup and avoids excessive adjustment resulting in excessive power consumption and noise, thereby improving the reliability of the compressor startup.

[0072] Combine Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for starting a compressor, comprising:

[0073] S210: When receiving the compressor start instruction, the third data collector detects the moisture content of the refrigerant.

[0074] S220: When the moisture content of the refrigerant is less than the content threshold, the processor drives the compressor using the preset torque as the target torque.

[0075] S230: The first data collector detects the rotor angle of the compressor.

[0076] S240: When the rotor angle is less than or equal to the first angle, the processor adjusts the target torque of the compressor and returns to step S230.

[0077] S270: When the rotor rotation angle is greater than the first rotation angle, the first data collector detects the current rotation speed of the compressor.

[0078] S271: When the duration of the current speed being greater than or equal to the set speed reaches a set time, the processor controls the compressor to operate according to the set instruction.

[0079] S272: The processor determines the target torque as the preset torque.

[0080] S273: When the current speed is lower than the set speed, or the duration of the current speed being greater than or equal to the set speed does not reach the set time, the processor issues a compressor fault code reminder.

[0081] The duration of the current speed being greater than or equal to the set speed reaching the set time means that the processor begins timing when the current speed is greater than or equal to the set speed. During the timing time, the current speed remains greater than or equal to the set speed until the timing time reaches the set time. If the current speed falls below the set speed during the timing time, the processor resets the timing and determines that the duration of the current speed being greater than or equal to the set speed has not reached the set time.

[0082] Using the method for starting a compressor provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the rotor angle is greater than the first angle, the rotor can rotate normally, and the stability of the compressor startup needs to be detected and determined to prevent damage to the compressor. When the current speed is greater than or equal to the set speed, the rotor can rotate normally for many times, and the stability at this speed needs to be determined. When the current speed greater than or equal to the set speed can continue to run for the set time, the compressor has high stability and can be used normally, and operates according to the instructions set by the user (for example, the air conditioner or refrigerator adjusts the speed of the compressor rotor according to the target temperature). When the current speed greater than or equal to the set speed cannot continue to run for the set time, the compressor can only meet the usage requirements for a short time, and the poor operating stability requires a compressor fault code reminder. When the current speed is less than the set speed, the rotor speed is abnormal, and a compressor fault code reminder needs to be issued. By detecting and judging the speed stability of the compressor when the rotor angle of the compressor meets the requirements, compressor operation failures are avoided, thereby improving the reliability of compressor startup and operation.

[0083] Optionally, the speed setting value range is [1800, 2000] Nm. Preferably, the speed setting value is 1850 rpm, 1900 rpm or 1950 rpm. The time setting value range is [5, 10] s. Preferably, the time setting value is 6 s, 7.5 s or 9 s. In this way, when the speed setting value is within the above range, it is possible to distinguish whether the current speed of the compressor is normal, so as to determine whether the compressor can operate normally, thereby improving the reliability of the compressor startup. When the time setting value is within the above range, it is possible to distinguish the stability of the compressor at the current speed, so as to determine whether the compressor can operate stably, thereby improving the reliability of the compressor startup.

[0084] Combine Figure 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for starting a compressor, comprising:

[0085] S210: When receiving the compressor start instruction, the third data collector detects the moisture content of the refrigerant.

[0086] S220: When the moisture content of the refrigerant is less than the content threshold, the processor drives the compressor using the preset torque as the target torque and executes step S230.

[0087] S221: When the moisture content of the refrigerant is greater than or equal to the content threshold, the processor issues a refrigerant fault code reminder, and this control ends.

[0088] S230: The first data collector detects the rotor angle of the compressor.

[0089] S240: When the rotor angle is less than or equal to the first angle, the processor adjusts the target torque of the compressor.

[0090] Using the compressor startup method provided by the disclosed embodiments, if the refrigerant moisture content is greater than or equal to a threshold, the refrigerant contains too much moisture. Directly starting the compressor can easily cause the compressor to rust and seize, potentially damaging it. By issuing a refrigerant fault code to alert the user, appropriate measures can be taken to reduce the refrigerant moisture content, thereby extending the life of the compressor.

[0091] Combine Figure 6 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a device for starting a compressor, comprising a processor 41 and a memory 42. Optionally, the device may further comprise a communication interface 43 and a bus 44.

The processor 41 may invoke logic instructions in the memory 42 to execute the method for starting a compressor according to the above embodiment.

[0092] In addition, the logic instructions in the memory 42 can be implemented in the form of software functional units and can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium when sold or used as an independent product.

[0093] Memory 42, as a storage medium, can be used to store software programs and computer-executable programs, such as program instructions / modules corresponding to the methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
