Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of starting protection devices for refrigeration compressor motors, and particularly relates to an improved integrated starting protector structure. Background Technique

[0002] The above-mentioned integrated starting protector refers to a starting protector for a compressor motor that reasonably combines a positive temperature coefficient thermistor and a negative temperature coefficient thermistor in the same housing. The positive and negative temperature coefficient thermistors are respectively abbreviated as PTC and NTC in English. The combination of the two can meet the large-current starting requirements of large commercial compressors, making the starting process of the refrigeration compressor motor safer and more reliable, and at the same time effectively improving the overload and overheat protection functions of the motor.

[0003] Technical information about the aforementioned positive temperature coefficient thermistor (also known as "positive temperature coefficient thermistor", the same below) and negative temperature coefficient thermistor (also known as "negative temperature coefficient thermistor", the same below) can be found in publicly available Chinese patent documents. The former is mainly used for refrigeration compressors in household refrigerators, such as CN2606490Y (motor starter and protector), CN2606491Y (integrated motor starter and protector), CN2664280Y (motor starter with improved structure), CN100581043C (energy-saving integrated single-phase AC motor starter and protector), CN102386815A (integrated motor starter with improved structure), CN101369790A (an energy-saving integrated single-phase AC motor starter and protector), CN206211857U (refrigeration compressor non-power-consuming starter protector), CN106385204A (refrigeration compressor non-power-consuming starter protector), and CN104734570A (non-power-consuming energy-saving single-phase AC motor starter protector), etc.; examples of the latter include CN2733039Y (a fully enclosed hammer-type starter for an R600a refrigerant compressor), CN202906801U (a hammer starter with improved sealing performance), and CN206481237U (a hammer-type current starter with improved structure), etc.

[0004] As is known in the industry, the protection measures of a compressor motor protector mainly include: overheat protection. For example, when the motor is working and the temperature is too high, it will cause damage or even burnout of the motor. After installing the protector, it can monitor the motor temperature and automatically cut off the power supply when the temperature exceeds the preset value to avoid damage to the motor; overload protection. For example, when the motor current exceeds the rated current value, it indicates that the load is too large, which is likely to cause overheating, damage or even fire of the motor. After installing the protector, it can cut off the power supply to protect the safe operation of the motor; overvoltage protection. When the input voltage of the current exceeds the rated value, the protector can automatically cut off the power supply to prevent damage to the motor; leakage protection. When a leakage phenomenon is detected, it will automatically cut off the power supply to protect the motor and personal safety. Still as is known in the industry, since overheating of the compressor is the most common problem, the response requirement of the protector to the compressor temperature is relatively strict. Specifically, when the housing (also called the box) together with the protector is installed on the refrigeration compressor, how to make the protector as close as possible to the compressor so that the circuit can be disconnected in time when the compressor has a high temperature and when the high temperature is caused by circuit overload. Since the function of the positive temperature coefficient thermistor, that is, the so-called motor starter, and the application of the negative temperature coefficient thermistor with a current limiting function in the heavy hammer type current starter are well-known and can be fully understood by reading the above-mentioned prior published literature, the applicant will not elaborate further.
