[0002] Air conditioners typically use a compressor as the power source for their motors. For inverter air conditioners, the compressor usually uses a permanent magnet synchronous motor. As people's demands for air conditioning capacity continue to increase, the operating frequency range of the motor is becoming wider. Simultaneously, air conditioners are required to operate under harsh conditions of extremely high and low temperatures, leading to increasingly larger variations in the motor's load torque. The complexity of air conditioning operating conditions necessitates suitable frequency limiting and derating control methods for permanent magnet synchronous motors to ensure reliability across the entire operating range while fully utilizing the motor's capabilities.

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0043] As described in the background art, in related technologies, the phase current limiting frequency reduction method is based on the compressor phase current (i.e., the composite phase current) for adjustment. However, if the motor limiting frequency reduction current value is set too high, it is easy to cause loss of synchronism at low and medium frequencies under heavy load. If it is set too low, the motor capacity will not be fully utilized.

[0044] To at least address the technical problems raised in this invention, embodiments of this invention provide a phase current limiting frequency reduction control method, apparatus, and related equipment to solve the technical problem that when adjusting based on compressor phase current (i.e., composite phase current), if the motor limiting frequency reduction current value is set too high, it can easily lead to loss of synchronism at medium and low frequencies under heavy loads; if the value is set too low, the motor's capacity cannot be fully utilized.

[0045] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a phase current limiting frequency reduction control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. This method operates on an electronic device, which can be a general-purpose computer, server, or similar device. In practical applications, it can also be a data processing center, cloud platform, etc. This application does not limit the specific implementation of the aforementioned electronic device. Figure 1 As shown, the method provided in this embodiment of the invention may include the following steps:

[0046] S11. Determine the target degree of freedom of the permanent magnet synchronous motor, wherein the target degree of freedom includes the composite phase current, direct-axis current and quadrature-axis current;

[0047] S12. Based on the pre-set target degree of freedom judgment order and correlation relationship, determine the value of each target degree of freedom and the corresponding threshold, and perform phase current limit frequency reduction control.

[0048] In a specific implementation, the phase current limiting frequency reduction control method provided in this embodiment is applied to a permanent magnet synchronous motor, thereby controlling the compressor by controlling the frequency of the permanent magnet synchronous motor.

[0049] In permanent magnet synchronous motors The magnitudes of the combined phase current, direct-axis current, and quadrature-axis current can be obtained based on different operating conditions of the motor, which is existing technology and will not be elaborated here. In the vector control of permanent magnet synchronous motors, the current is decoupled into direct-axis and quadrature-axis components, i.e., direct-axis current and quadrature-axis current. Then, the phase current frequency reduction limit can also be based on the decoupled current to achieve more reasonable protection.

[0050] It is understood that the technical solution provided in this embodiment controls the compressor frequency through three degrees of freedom: the composite phase current, the direct-axis current, and the quadrature-axis current. Different thresholds are set to limit the frequency reduction, thereby employing different frequency reduction control methods under different operating conditions to ensure the reliability of each condition. This solves the technical problem in the prior art where, when adjusting based on a single compressor phase current (i.e., the composite phase current), if the motor frequency reduction current value is set too high, it can easily lead to loss of synchronization at low and medium frequencies under heavy loads; if it is set too low, the motor's capacity cannot be fully utilized.

[0051] In some embodiments, based on a pre-defined order and correlation of target degrees of freedom, the value of each target degree of freedom and the corresponding threshold are determined, and frequency reduction control is performed, including:

[0052] Determine the value of the synthesized phase current and its magnitude relative to a preset synthesized phase current threshold; and control the compressor frequency based on the relationship between the value of the synthesized phase current and the preset synthesized phase current threshold; and determine the value of the quadrature axis current and its magnitude relative to a preset quadrature axis current threshold.

[0053] Based on the relationship between the value of the quadrature axis current and the preset quadrature axis current threshold, the compressor frequency is controlled, and the absolute value of the direct axis current is compared with the preset DC current threshold.

[0054] The compressor frequency is controlled based on the relationship between the absolute value of the direct-axis current and the preset direct-axis current threshold.

[0055] During the judgment process, the system can be configured to first determine the magnitude of the composite phase current relative to a threshold, then determine the magnitude of the quadrature-axis current relative to a threshold, and finally determine the magnitude of the direct-axis current relative to a threshold. After each judgment, the corresponding control action is executed. Specifically, for the composite phase current, a composite phase current threshold can be preset, allowing for magnitude judgment after obtaining the composite phase current, and compressor frequency control based on the obtained magnitude relationship. For the quadrature-axis current, a quadrature-axis current threshold can be preset, allowing for magnitude judgment after obtaining the quadrature-axis current, and compressor frequency control based on the obtained magnitude relationship. For the direct-axis current, a direct-axis current threshold can be preset, allowing for magnitude judgment after obtaining the absolute value of the direct-axis current, and compressor frequency control based on the obtained magnitude relationship.

[0056] It is understood that by adopting the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the magnitude of the synthesized phase current and the threshold are determined first, then the magnitude of the quadrature axis current and the threshold are determined, and finally the magnitude of the direct axis current and the threshold are determined. After each determination, the corresponding control action is executed, thereby realizing the association of the three degrees of freedom, achieving adaptation to different working conditions, and ensuring the reliability of various working conditions.

[0057] In some embodiments, determining the magnitude of the composite phase current and a preset composite phase current threshold; and controlling the compressor frequency based on the relationship between the composite phase current and the preset composite phase current threshold, includes:

[0058] Determine whether the value of the synthesized phase current is greater than the preset synthesized phase current frequency reduction current threshold.

[0059] If the value of the synthesized phase current is greater than the preset synthesized phase current frequency reduction current threshold, the compressor is triggered to reduce the frequency.

[0060] If the value of the synthesized phase current is greater than the preset synthesized phase current frequency limiting current threshold and is less than or equal to the preset synthesized phase current frequency reduction current threshold, then the frequency increase of the compressor is restricted; wherein, the preset synthesized phase current frequency limiting current threshold is less than the preset synthesized phase current frequency reduction current threshold.

[0061] For example, in this embodiment, a preset composite phase current frequency reduction current threshold and a preset composite phase current frequency limiting current threshold can be preset for the composite phase current, wherein the preset composite phase current frequency limiting current threshold is less than the preset composite phase current frequency reduction current threshold.

[0062] Under the same motor control algorithm and parameters, appropriate phase current limiting frequency reduction control can fully utilize the motor's capabilities and improve reliability under various operating conditions. In this embodiment, it can first be determined whether the value of the synthesized phase current is greater than the preset synthesized phase current frequency reduction current threshold. If it is greater, the compressor frequency is triggered to decrease; if it is less than or equal to, and the value of the synthesized phase current is greater than the preset synthesized phase current frequency limiting current threshold, the compressor frequency increase is restricted. The preset synthesized phase current frequency reduction current threshold can be set based on the maximum current allowed to pass through the compressor phase line or the maximum current allowed by the motor.

[0063] It is understood that by adopting the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the composite phase current can be judged by preset composite phase current frequency limiting current threshold and preset composite phase current frequency reduction current threshold, so as to achieve adaptation to high-speed load conditions.

[0064] In some embodiments, determining the value of the quadrature-axis current and its relationship with a preset quadrature-axis current threshold; controlling the compressor frequency based on the relationship between the quadrature-axis current value and the preset quadrature-axis current threshold, including:

[0065] Determine whether the value of the quadrature-axis current is greater than the preset quadrature-axis current frequency reduction current threshold;

[0066] If the value of the quadrature axis current is greater than the preset quadrature axis current frequency reduction current threshold, the compressor is triggered to reduce the frequency.

[0067] If the value of the quadrature axis current is greater than the preset quadrature axis current frequency limiting current threshold and is less than or equal to the preset quadrature axis current frequency reducing current threshold, then the frequency increase of the compressor is restricted; wherein, the preset quadrature axis current frequency limiting current threshold is less than the preset quadrature axis current frequency reducing current threshold.

[0068] For example, in this embodiment, a preset cross-axis current frequency reduction threshold and a preset cross-axis current frequency limiting threshold can be preset for the cross-axis current, wherein the preset cross-axis current frequency limiting threshold is less than the preset cross-axis current frequency reduction threshold.

[0069] Under the same motor control algorithm and parameters, appropriate phase current limiting frequency reduction control can fully utilize the motor's capabilities and improve reliability under various operating conditions. In this embodiment, it can first be determined whether the value of the quadrature axis current is greater than the preset quadrature axis current frequency reduction current threshold. If it is greater, the compressor frequency is triggered to decrease; if it is less than or equal to, and the value of the quadrature axis current is greater than the preset quadrature axis current frequency limiting current threshold, the compressor frequency increase is restricted. The preset quadrature axis current frequency reduction current threshold can be set based on low-frequency heavy load reliability.

[0070] The quadrature-axis current reflects the magnitude of the motor's load torque and driving torque. Considering both motor control and the motor itself, the maximum driving torque that the motor can provide is higher at medium frequencies and lower at low and high frequencies. Furthermore, for single-rotor compressors, torque fluctuations make them more prone to instability at low frequencies.

[0071] It is understood that by adopting the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the quadrature axis current can be judged by setting a preset quadrature axis current frequency limiting current threshold and a preset quadrature axis current frequency reduction current threshold, thereby achieving adaptation to heavy load low-frequency operating conditions.

[0072] In some embodiments, determining the magnitude of the absolute value of the direct-axis current and a preset DC current threshold; controlling the compressor frequency based on the relationship between the absolute value of the direct-axis current and the preset direct-axis current threshold, including:

[0073] Determine whether the absolute value of the direct-axis current is greater than the preset direct-axis current frequency reduction current threshold.

[0074] If the absolute value of the direct-axis current is greater than the preset direct-axis current frequency reduction threshold, the compressor is triggered to reduce its frequency.

[0075] If the absolute value of the direct-axis current is greater than the preset direct-axis current frequency reduction threshold, and is less than or equal to the preset direct-axis current frequency reduction threshold, then the frequency increase of the compressor is restricted; wherein, the preset direct-axis current frequency reduction threshold is less than the preset direct-axis current frequency reduction threshold.

[0076] For example, in this embodiment, a preset direct-axis current frequency reduction threshold and a preset direct-axis current frequency reduction threshold can be preset for the direct-axis current, wherein the preset direct-axis current frequency reduction threshold is less than the preset direct-axis current frequency reduction threshold.

[0077] Under the same motor control algorithm and parameters, appropriate phase current-limited frequency reduction control can fully utilize the motor's capabilities and improve reliability under various operating conditions. In this embodiment, it can first be determined whether the absolute value of the direct-axis current is greater than the preset direct-axis current frequency reduction threshold. If it is greater, the compressor is triggered to reduce its frequency; if it is less than or equal to, and the absolute value of the direct-axis current is greater than the preset direct-axis current frequency reduction threshold, the compressor's frequency increase is restricted.

[0078] It is understood that by adopting the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the direct-axis current can be judged by setting a preset direct-axis current frequency reduction threshold, thereby achieving adaptation to light-load ultra-high-speed operating conditions.

[0079] In some embodiments, the method further includes: setting a direct-axis current reduction current threshold that is less than the characteristic current of the permanent magnet synchronous motor.

[0080] It is worth noting that the direct-axis current itself is less than or equal to 0. Therefore, in this application, the absolute value of the direct-axis current is compared with a preset value (the preset value is positive). If the preset direct-axis current frequency reduction domain value is limited to be less than the characteristic current of the motor, it can be guaranteed that the absolute value of the actual direct-axis current does not exceed the characteristic current of the motor.

[0081] In this embodiment, the relationship between motor speed and current is explained. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a voltage limit ellipse provided in an embodiment of the present invention. (See attached diagram.) Figure 2 Iq represents the quadrature-axis current, and Id represents the direct-axis current. When the motor speed w1 < w2, the voltage limit ellipse... Contraction occurs, at which point the absolute value of the direct current increases, such as... Figure 2 The current trajectory is shown in the diagram. Stable operation is achieved when the voltage limit circle intersects with the current trajectory. To ensure this intersection, the absolute value of the direct-axis current should be limited to the motor's characteristic current. the following.

[0082] In some embodiments, it is possible to set This improves the stability of the operating conditions.

[0083] In some embodiments, before determining the target degree of freedom of the permanent magnet synchronous motor, the method further includes: determining that the permanent magnet synchronous motor is in a powered-on operating state.

[0084] It is understandable that by setting the permanent magnet synchronous motor to enter detection control in the power-on state, it is ensured that the system is always determining whether to perform phase current limiting frequency reduction control in the power-on state.

[0085] To further illustrate the technical solution provided by the invention, this embodiment also provides a phase current limiting frequency reduction control process under typical operating conditions of different motors:

[0086] Under high-speed load conditions, the combined current is large, triggering the combined current limiting frequency reduction to ensure that the motor phase current does not exceed the maximum allowable current of the motor or the allowable current of the motor phase line, while fully utilizing the motor's capacity; however, neither the quadrature axis current nor the direct axis current triggers the limiting frequency reduction value.

[0087] Under heavy load and low-frequency conditions, the quadrature-axis current is large, triggering frequency reduction due to quadrature-axis current limiting. The absolute value of the direct-axis current is not large, so it will not trigger frequency reduction due to direct-axis current limiting. The combined current is also small, so it will not trigger frequency reduction due to combined current limiting. Frequency reduction is triggered by quadrature-axis current until it reaches the lower limit frequency. Because a suitable preset quadrature-axis current reduction threshold is set, there will be no runaway during the frequency reduction process, and the frequency will stabilize at the lower limit frequency to ensure stable operation under high-temperature conditions.

[0088] Under light load and ultra-high speed conditions, the absolute value of the direct-axis current is large, triggering direct-axis current limiting frequency reduction. The quadrature-axis current is small and will not trigger quadrature-axis current limiting frequency reduction. The combined current is also small and will not trigger combined current limiting frequency reduction. Furthermore, when the bus voltage decreases, the absolute value of the direct-axis current increases at the same speed, potentially exceeding the characteristic current. Exceeding the characteristic current will cause field weakening runaway. The existence of direct-axis current limiting frequency reduction ensures that the frequency is limited to the highest controllable speed, preventing field weakening runaway.

[0089] Based on a general inventive concept, embodiments of the present invention also provide a phase current limiting frequency reduction control device to implement the phase current limiting frequency reduction control method described in the above embodiments.

[0091] The determination module 31 is used to determine the value of the target degree of freedom of the permanent magnet synchronous motor, wherein the target degree of freedom includes the composite phase current, the direct-axis current and the quadrature-axis current;

[0092] The control module 32 is used to determine the value of each target degree of freedom and the corresponding threshold based on the preset target degree of freedom judgment order and correlation relationship, and to perform phase current limit frequency reduction control.

[0093] Regarding the apparatus in the above embodiments, the specific manner in which each module performs its operation has been described in detail in the embodiments related to the method, and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0094] It is understandable that the technical solution provided in this embodiment controls the compressor frequency through three degrees of freedom, namely, considering the composite phase current, direct-axis current, and quadrature-axis current, setting different thresholds to control frequency reduction, thereby using different frequency reduction control methods under different operating conditions to ensure the reliability of each operating condition. This solves the technical problem in the prior art where, when adjusting based on a single compressor phase current (i.e., composite phase current), if the motor frequency reduction current value is set too high, it can easily lead to loss of synchronization at low and medium frequencies under heavy loads; if it is set too low, the motor capacity cannot be fully utilized.
