At present, the control method of frequency converter combined with variable frequency axial flow fan is mainly used to reduce the energy consumption of air-conditioning systems.

[0017] In order to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the embodiments and drawings, and the contents mentioned in the implementation modes are not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0018] This embodiment provides an air conditioner fan speed control device, such as Figures 1 to 4 , including EC fan 1, power supply module, switch control module, DDC control module 2 and BMS control module 3, the power supply module is all for switch control module, DDC control module 2 and BMS control module 3 power supply, that is Figures 1 to 4 The connection terminals H11 and H17 are respectively used to connect the live wire and the neutral wire, thereby achieving the purpose of power supply; the output terminals of the DDC control module 2 and the BMS control module 3 are connected to the power supply terminal of the EC fan 1 through the switch control module, and the DDC control module 2 and the BMS control module 3 are used to provide different power supply voltages for the EC fan 1; the switch control module includes a first switch unit, a second switch unit and a BMS switch. When the first switch unit is turned on, the output terminal of the DDC control module 2 is connected to the power supply terminal of the EC fan 1; when the BMS switch is closed, the first switch unit is turned off, the second switch unit is turned on, and the output terminal of the BMS control module 3 is connected to the power supply terminal of the EC fan 1.

[0019] Among them, the switch control value module includes a relay AR, and the relay AR is provided with a pull-in terminal AR-1, a pull-in terminal AR-2, a pull-in terminal AR-3, a pull-in terminal AR-4 and a pull-in terminal AR-5. The first switch unit is the pull-in terminal AR-2 and the pull-in terminal AR-3 of the relay AR, and the second switch unit is the pull-in terminal AR-4 and the pull-in terminal AR-5 of the relay AR. The specific connection principle is as follows Figures 1 to 4 As shown. Further, the present embodiment is also provided with a fault cut-off module 5, including an ETR intermediate relay, a fault signal switch FAN-1 and a reset switch RESET. The pull-in end ETR-1 of the ETR intermediate relay is connected in parallel to the two ends of the fan fault signal switch, and the reset switch is connected in series with the fault signal switch. When the EC fan 1 generates a fault signal, the fault signal switch is closed, and the ETR intermediate relay is energized and used to cut off the main circuit. Figures 1 to 4As shown, the fault signal switch FAN-1, switch T1-1 and reset switch RESET are connected in series in sequence, and then the pull-in terminal ETR-1 is connected in parallel. Figures 1 to 4 The two ends of K13 and K15 shown are used to detect and judge the signal.

[0020] Specifically, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the main electrical circuit of this embodiment adopts a mature contactor start-up control method, and because the EC fan 1 is used, the high cost of the frequency converter can be saved, and a control effect similar to that of the prior art can be achieved, so it has higher practicality. In the control circuit part, this embodiment is provided with two major parts: local control and automatic control, wherein the automatic control is divided into two types: DDC control and BMS control. By providing a mode switching unit 4, the mode switching unit 4 is a conversion switch in the prior art, including automatic mode, manual mode and stop mode. The staff controls the gear mode of the conversion switch according to actual needs to select different control modes:

[0021] (1) Local control: The staff turns the conversion switch to the manual control mode, i.e., the local mode. At this time, the buttons of the control box body (i.e., the control box of the air conditioner or fan) are used to control the EC fan 1. The setting of the control box and the buttons is the existing technology and will not be described here. The speed regulation of the EC fan 1 uses the EC fan 1 controller to adjust the output voltage and the opening of the valve.

[0022] (2) Automatic control: The staff adjusts the switch to the automatic mode. The automatic mode includes two control modes, namely, DDC control and BMS control. The DDC control module 2 is a DDC controller, and the BMS control module 3 is a BMS controller. Both the DDC controller and the BMS controller are prior art. This embodiment mainly uses two controllers to achieve different control modes. Specifically, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it is a specific control value principle diagram of this embodiment. When DDC control: When the automatic mode is selected, the relay AR (intermediate relay) is energized and the contacts are rotated, that is: Figures 1 to 4 In the above diagram, the pull-in terminal AR-1 is pulled in, and the pull-in terminals AR-2, AR-3, AR-4 and AR-5 are all in the upward pull-in state. At this time, the driving voltage is output through CD1 and CD2, and then the EC fan 1 is powered by the D0 and D1 terminals connected to the EC fan 1, providing different voltages, and the speed of the EC fan 1 and the opening of the valve are controlled by the DDC controller. BMS control: When the BMS switch is closed, the BMS control module 3 is turned on, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, at this time, the suction terminal AR-1 is energized, and the suction terminals AR-2, AR-3, AR-4 and AR-5 are all in the downward suction state. The BMS control module 3 supplies power to the EC fan 1 through the BD0 and BD1 terminals, and uses the voltage regulation of the BMS controller to control the speed of the EC fan 1.

[0023] In addition, this embodiment is also provided with a fault cut-off module 5, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, switch T1-1 and reset switch RESET are both in the closed state. When EC fan 1 fails, the contacts of EC fan 1 output a fault signal, closing the fault signal switch FAN-1. At this time, the ETR intermediate relay is energized and energized, that is, ETR-1 and ETR-2 are energized, completing the disconnection of the main circuit and de-energizing the relay AR. Therefore, the DDC control module 2 and the BMS module both stop working, causing the EC fan 1 to stop working, thereby achieving the purpose of protecting the EC fan 1.

[0024] This embodiment uses EC fan 1 in conjunction with DDC control module 2 and BMS control module 3, which has low cost, simple control structure, easy maintenance, wide application range, and can achieve the purpose of precise speed regulation and precise control without the help of frequency converter. For example, in the air conditioning control system of some large office buildings, cost and stability are often points that must be taken into account. The use of this embodiment has incomparable advantages in terms of initial construction cost, later maintenance cost and system stability. Since EC fan 1 can complete electric stepless speed change and accurately control air volume without the participation of frequency converter, compared with the frequency converter control solution, this embodiment has certain advantages in cost, and since the control box no longer needs to be equipped with a frequency converter, the volume of the control box can also be reduced accordingly, saving the space occupied by the power room. In addition, compared with the traditional axial flow fan solution, it has the advantages of low noise, high efficiency and strong adaptability.

Although the utility model is disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not used to limit the utility model. Any technician familiar with this profession can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments of equivalent changes by using the technical content disclosed above without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
