Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of air conditioning, and in particular relates to a protection method for preventing the high pressure of a compressor from being too high. Background Art

[0002] At present, most air conditioners on the market use pressure controllers to control the operating pressure of the compressor or prevent shutdown protection due to excessive pressure. Pressure controllers are mainly divided into two types: pressure sensors and pressure switches. A pressure sensor is a device used to control fluid pressure. Its working principle is to sense fluid pressure, convert it into an electrical signal, and then perform microprocessing through a computer chip to finely adjust the pressure of the air conditioner components according to the results of the pressure detection. A pressure switch is a mechanical control device that detects pressure conduction. That is, when the discharge pressure of the compressor in the air conditioner reaches and exceeds the maximum set value, the electrical contacts of the pressure switch will cut off the control signal power supply, causing the compressor to stop working, playing a role in protection and automatic control. The use of pressure sensors or mechanical control can indeed achieve the purpose of pressure control, but it requires an increase in hardware costs, especially the high cost of pressure sensors. In addition, when the pressure switch or pressure sensor is welded on the pipeline, when the pressure is too high, the pipe is prone to cracking and leakage due to high stress. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve the problems in the above background technology that the use of pressure sensors or pressure switches is high in cost and prone to pipe cracking and leakage, the present invention provides a protection method for preventing the high pressure of a compressor from being too high.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a protection method for preventing the high pressure of a compressor from being too high, the method comprising: S1, after the compressor is turned on, detecting the actual current CT1 of the variable frequency input and judging whether CT1 is greater than A, where A is a given rated current value as a protection standard value, if yes, then go to step S2, otherwise the compressor operates normally;

[0005] S2, continuously update the upper limit value Np of the compressor protection control speed, Np = Na, N is the current actual speed of the compressor, a is the constant value of the compressor speed change each time, and the minimum value of Np is the lower limit value of the compressor speed; continue to judge whether CT1 is greater than A, if yes, go to step S3, otherwise go to step S1;

[0006] S3, determine whether CT1 is greater than or equal to A+t and lasts for 3 seconds, if yes, the compressor will shut down for protection, otherwise go to step S4, t is the upper limit of the frequency conversion input current deviation;

[0007] S4, judging whether B<CT1<A, B is the protection end release value, if so, the compressor speed upper limit value Np does not change, and the frequency operation is maintained, otherwise, go to step S5;

[0008] S5. Determine whether CT1<B. If yes, release the protection control; otherwise, return to step S2.

[0009] Preferably, the protection standard value A is calculated as follows:

[0010] During cooling, A 冷 =K1*(Th O-A –T 冷房标准 )+A 冷房额定 ;

[0011] When heating, A 热 =K2*(Th O-A –T 暖房标准 )+A 暖房额定 ;

[0012] Among them, K1 is the constant coefficient of cooling room condition, K2 is the constant coefficient of heating room condition, Th O-A is the outdoor temperature, T 冷房标准 The temperature value specified for the refrigeration standard working condition, T 暖房标准 A is the temperature value specified for the standard heating condition. 冷房额定 The current protection value of the compressor when the temperature is 35℃ outdoors in the cold room condition as specified by the national standard, A 暖房额定 The national standard stipulates the compressor current protection value at 7°C outdoors in a greenhouse condition.

[0013] Preferably, the sampling time of the variable frequency input current CT1 is 3 seconds.

[0014] Preferably, when the compressor is shut down and resumed for more than 5 times within 1 hour, a high pressure protection alarm is issued.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The present invention is based on the basically linear relationship between the variable frequency input current of the compressor and the high pressure of the compressor load. The AC input current value under different working loads is used as an indirect signal parameter for detecting whether the pressure is too high or out of range. The compressor frequency is directly adjusted according to the current value to prevent protection shutdown when the high pressure is too high or out of range, and replace the pressure switch or pressure sensor to ensure the reliability of the compressor without increasing the cost.

[0022] S1. After the compressor is turned on, detect the actual variable frequency input current CT1 and determine whether CT1 is greater than A, where A is a given rated current value as a protection standard value. If yes, go to step S2, otherwise the compressor operates normally; the sampling time of the variable frequency input current CT1 is 3 seconds;

[0023] S2, continuously update the upper limit value Np of the compressor protection control speed, Np = Na, N is the current actual speed of the compressor, a is the constant value of the compressor speed change each time, and the minimum value of Np is the lower limit value of the compressor speed; continue to judge whether CT1 is greater than A, if yes, go to step S3, otherwise go to step S1;

[0025] S4, judging whether B<CT1<A, B is the protection end release value, if so, the compressor speed upper limit value Np does not change, and the frequency operation is maintained, otherwise, go to step S5;

[0026] S5. Determine whether CT1<B. If yes, release the protection control. Otherwise, return to step S2.

[0027] The protection standard value A is calculated as follows:

[0028] During cooling, A 冷 =K1*(Th O-A –T 冷房标准 )+A 冷房额定 ;

[0031] The principle of the method of this embodiment is based on the linear relationship between the variable frequency input current of the compressor and the high pressure of the compressor load. The frequency is controlled by assigning different current values ​​corresponding to the high pressure values ​​under various working conditions to prevent the high pressure from being too high or the high pressure from exceeding the range. It replaces the pressure switch or pressure sensor and ensures the reliability of the compressor without increasing the cost.
