Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of variable frequency air conditioner drive technology, and in particular relates to a method, device, controller and medium for controlling the operating power of a compressor. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most inverter air conditioners use a three-phase AC motor as the compressor drive motor. Since the mains power is single-phase AC, it cannot directly drive the inverter motor. The mains power needs to be converted to DC by a rectifier, and then an inverter generates a three-phase AC voltage to drive the three-phase motor. To decouple the grid input and inverter output, large-capacity electrolytic capacitors are often used to maintain a constant bus voltage. The inverter is the core of the inverter system; its function is to convert the DC bus voltage into three-phase AC power with adjustable frequency and amplitude to drive the three-phase motor.

[0003] Because the lifespan of electrolytic capacitors is affected by changes in ambient temperature, a decrease in capacitance can lead to an inability to effectively buffer instantaneous energy demands, resulting in increased fluctuations in bus voltage (such as sudden voltage drops or spikes during high-frequency compressor operation) and reduced drive accuracy. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the capacitance of electrolytic capacitors online to prevent compressor drive system failure due to bus capacitor failure. Summary of the Invention

[0068] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0069] Figure 1 This is a circuit diagram of a compressor drive system provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0070] In variable frequency air conditioners, when a three-phase AC motor is used as the compressor drive motor, the core of its power supply system is to convert the mains power to adjustable frequency three-phase AC power through the "rectification-inversion" process, thereby precisely controlling the compressor speed.

[0071] The cooling / heating capacity of a compressor is directly related to its speed (the higher the speed, the greater the refrigerant circulation and the stronger the capacity). The speed of a three-phase AC motor is determined by the power supply frequency. Therefore, the fixed-frequency (50Hz) mains power needs to be converted into a frequency-adjustable three-phase AC power to achieve compressor speed regulation. This process relies on a "rectifier-inverter" system.

[0072] like Figure 1 As shown, the rectifier is a bridge rectifier circuit composed of four diodes (D1-D4), which rectifies all the positive and negative half-cycles of single-phase AC power into pulsating DC power.

[0073] Large-capacity electrolytic capacitors are used to filter pulsating DC current, smoothing the waveform and outputting a stable DC bus voltage. A power factor correction (PFC) circuit can be added, using high-frequency switching to adjust the input current waveform to approximate a sine wave, thereby improving the power factor (reducing grid harmonic interference) and stabilizing the DC bus voltage.

[0074] The inverter is the core of frequency conversion; its function is to convert the DC bus voltage into three-phase AC power with adjustable frequency and amplitude to drive a three-phase motor. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the inverter consists of six high-frequency switching devices (S1-S6) forming a three-phase bridge arm (two high-frequency switching devices per phase, divided into an upper bridge arm and a lower bridge arm). The upper and lower bridge arms of each phase are alternately turned on. The amplitude of the output voltage is controlled by adjusting the duty cycle of the PWM pulse; the frequency of the output AC power is controlled by adjusting the switching frequency (e.g., 10-120Hz, corresponding to the compressor speed adjustment range).

[0075] In the drive system of a variable frequency air conditioner, the bus capacitor between the rectified DC bus and the inverter ( Figure 1 The C0 in the inverter is a key component that absorbs the pulsating DC component after rectification, stabilizes the DC bus voltage, and prevents voltage fluctuations from affecting the inverter output. When the compressor operates at high frequency (high power), the motor requires a large instantaneous current, and the bus capacitor replenishes energy through rapid charging and discharging, suppressing the voltage drop of the bus.

[0076] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a compressor operating power control method provided in an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the method for controlling the operating power of the compressor includes:

[0077] S101. Obtain the grid-side input current, bus voltage, and load torque of the compressor drive system, as well as the mechanical speed of the compressor.

[0078] like Figure 1 As shown, the grid-side input current is i g The bus voltage is u dc .

[0079] Load torque T L It is based on the load torque observer, which is a control module that indirectly estimates the compressor load torque based on the motor mathematical model and state estimation algorithm, using measurable motor operating parameters (such as speed, current, and voltage). Its principle is to first calculate the derivative of the speed according to the load torque equation. Since the actual speed signal contains high-frequency interference, the derivative will amplify the interference. Therefore, a low-pass filter is added after this stage to eliminate the high-frequency noise interference caused by the derivative. Finally, the load torque is obtained by calculating with the torque signal.

[0080] In practical applications, after the compressor motor starts, the PFC and inverter stages of the compressor drive system operate normally, enabling the load torque observer to sample the grid-side voltage, bus voltage, and compressor current in real time. The load torque observer then obtains the load torque T based on the sampled signals. L .

[0081] The mechanical speed of a compressor refers to the number of times the compressor rotor rotates per minute, usually measured in rpm (revolutions per minute). It is one of the core parameters for measuring the compressor's operating status. Its value directly determines the compressor's refrigerant compression efficiency, cooling / heating capacity, as well as the system's energy consumption, noise, and other performance characteristics.

[0082] S102. Based on the load torque and the mechanical speed, the center frequency of the bandpass filter is obtained.

[0083] The purpose of this application is to determine the frequency characteristics of the capacitor signal by identifying whether the compressor is single-rotor or dual-rotor, and further, to obtain the identification value of the bus capacitor through the relationship between the bus capacitor current and voltage. The frequency characteristics of the load torque corresponding to single-rotor and dual-rotor compressors are different. The frequency characteristics of the load torque can be determined by filtering the load torque using a bandpass filter, thereby determining whether the compressor is single-rotor or dual-rotor.

[0084] Figure 3 The diagram illustrates the process by which a single-rotor or dual-rotor compressor is identified using bandpass filters, as provided in this application. The center frequencies of the two bandpass filters are ω0 and ω1 respectively. r and 2ω r After filtering, the amplitude of the signal is obtained. The one with the larger amplitude is the corresponding single-rotor or dual-rotor compressor.

[0085] refer to Figure 3The above step S102 can be specifically implemented as follows:

[0086] The mechanical rotation speed is set to the center frequency (ω) of the first bandpass filter. r );

[0087] Set twice the mechanical rotation speed as the center frequency (2ω) of the second bandpass filter. r );

[0088] The load torque T L The first bandpass filter is used for filtering to obtain the first amplitude of the load torque.

[0089] The load torque T L The second bandpass filter is used for filtering to obtain the second amplitude of the load torque.

[0090] The number of compressor rotors is determined based on the first amplitude and the second amplitude, and the center frequency of the bandpass filter for subsequent processing is set based on the number of rotors, specifically including:

[0091] Based on the fact that the first amplitude is greater than the second amplitude, the compressor is determined to be a single-rotor compressor, and the center frequency of the bandpass filter used for subsequent processing is set to be equal to the mechanical rotation speed;

[0092] Based on the fact that the second amplitude is greater than the first amplitude, the compressor is determined to be a dual-rotor compressor, and the center frequency of the bandpass filter used for subsequent processing is set to be equal to twice the mechanical speed.

[0093] S103. The load current of the compressor drive system is obtained based on the bus voltage, the load torque and the mechanical speed.

[0094] The above step S103 specifically includes:

[0095] The load power is obtained by multiplying the load torque and the mechanical speed.

[0096] The load current is obtained by dividing the load power by the bus voltage.

[0097] Specifically, the formula for calculating load current is:

[0098] S104. Obtain the bus capacitance value based on the grid-side input current, the load current, the bus voltage, and the center frequency of the bandpass filter.

[0099] The frequency of the bandpass filter is determined by the rotor type. By processing the signal with the bus voltage at the corresponding frequency, the bus capacitance identification value can be obtained.

[0100] Figure 4 The diagram illustrates the process for identifying the bus capacitor value provided in this application. (Reference) Figure 4 The above step S104 can be achieved as follows:

[0101] The grid-side input current i g and the load current After filtering by the bandpass filter, the difference is taken to obtain the bus capacitor current i. cap ;

[0102] The bus voltage u dc After filtering by the bandpass filter, the bus capacitor current i is excluded. cap The bus capacitance value (i.e., the capacitance identification value) is obtained.

[0103] S105. Compare the bus capacitor value with the preset value, and adjust the power range of the compressor operation according to the comparison result.

[0104] The capacitance of the bus capacitor is not constant and gradually decreases with usage time, temperature, voltage stress, and other factors. When it drops below the preset capacitance value, it cannot effectively buffer instantaneous energy demand, leading to increased fluctuations in the bus voltage. When online detection indicates that the bus capacitor capacitance value has dropped to the preset value (e.g., below 70% of the rated capacitance), the system automatically adjusts the compressor's maximum allowable operating power range (i.e., limits the maximum operating frequency).

[0105] Specifically, step S105 can be implemented as follows: if the bus capacitor value is greater than or equal to a preset value, the operating power range of the compressor is not adjusted; if the bus capacitor value is less than the preset value, the maximum operating power of the compressor is reduced.

[0106] Specifically, the preset capacitance value is set to 70% to 80% of the rated capacitance value of the bus capacitor. Of course, the preset capacitance value can be set according to the actual situation, and this application does not limit it.

[0107] The compressor operating power control method provided in this application can identify the bus capacitor value online. This method requires no additional signal injection; it only needs to identify the bus capacitor value based on the signal characteristics presented by the compressor torque characteristics, making it simple to implement and highly robust. It automatically adjusts the compressor operating power range according to changes in the bus capacitor value to prevent compressor drive system failure due to bus capacitor failure, thus enhancing the reliability of the drive system.
