Detailed Implementation

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0034] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0035] In the description of this application, it should be noted that:

[0036] Relationship terms such as first and second are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations;

[0037] "Connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0038] Existing outdoor unit controllers have externally suspended magnetic rings, which pose a risk of collision with components. These magnetic rings also increase production costs and reduce production efficiency.

[0039] To overcome the above problems, please refer to Figure 1 This application provides a filter circuit, including a live wire, a neutral wire, and a ground wire. The live wire is the row of lines connected by the L line in the figure, the neutral wire is the row of lines connected by the N line in the figure, and the ground wire is the row of lines connected by GND in the figure.

[0040] A first common-mode inductor IND1 is installed on the live wire and the neutral wire. The first common-mode inductor includes a first inductor and a second inductor. The first inductor is connected in series in the live wire, and the second inductor is connected in series in the neutral wire. The connection relationship is as follows:

[0041] The first end of the first inductor is used to connect to the live wire, and the second end of the first inductor is used to connect to the subsequent circuit.

[0042] The first end of the second inductor is used to connect to the live wire, and the second end of the second inductor is used to connect to the subsequent circuit.

[0043] like Figure 1 The filter circuit also includes a first Y capacitor CRV3 and a second Y capacitor CRV4. The first Y capacitor CRV3 is connected between the live wire and the ground wire, and the second Y capacitor CRV4 is connected between the neutral wire and the ground wire.

[0044] The first Y capacitor CRV3 and the second Y capacitor CRV4 can be located in the pre-amplifier circuit of the first common-mode inductor IND1, and their connection relationship is as follows:

[0045] The first terminal of the first Y capacitor is connected to the first terminal of the first inductor, the first terminal of the second Y capacitor is connected to the first terminal of the second inductor, and the second terminals of the first Y capacitor and the second Y capacitor are connected to the ground line.

[0046] The filter circuit also includes a third inductor and a fourth inductor, which are located on the circuit board. The third inductor is connected in series with the live wire, and the fourth inductor is connected in series with the neutral wire.

[0047] The third and fourth inductors can be non-magnetic toroidal differential-mode inductors, such as... Figure 1 The inductors LN and LL are shown in the diagram. A ringless differential-mode inductor can be a small-inductance wire-wound coil without a magnetic ring, making it easy to embed in a controller.

[0048] The third and fourth inductors can be placed before the first common-mode inductor IND1 for debugging purposes, thus replacing the original magnetic ring. When the third and fourth inductors are placed before the first common-mode inductor IND1, the following connection relationship exists: the first terminal of the third inductor is connected to the live wire, and the second terminal of the third inductor is connected to the first terminal of the first inductor; the first terminal of the fourth inductor is connected to the neutral wire, and the second terminal of the fourth inductor is connected to the first terminal of the second inductor.

[0049] Besides the third and fourth inductors being implementations of differential-mode inductors without magnetic rings, the third and fourth inductors can also be common-mode inductors, such as... Figure 2 The common-mode inductor IND2 is located in the first common-mode inductor IND1.

[0050] The filter circuit can be used as the filter circuit of the controller of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. It is connected to the controller, and the filter circuit and the controller are located on the circuit board.

[0051] The components of the filter circuit, such as the third and fourth inductors, can be fixedly mounted on the circuit board, which can be integrated into the controller box. This replaces the function of the externally suspended magnetic ring, meeting the requirement of low interference. Since there is no need to introduce an externally suspended magnetic ring, there is no risk of the magnetic ring colliding with the components during transportation. It can also improve production efficiency and achieve cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

[0052] In embodiments where the third and fourth inductors are non-magnetic ring differential-mode inductors, such as Figure 3 The filter circuit may also include an X capacitor CRV2, which is connected between the live wire and the neutral wire. The first terminal of the first inductor is connected to the first terminal of the X capacitor, and the first terminal of the second inductor is connected to the second terminal of the X capacitor.

[0053] In implementations where the third and fourth inductors are common-mode inductors, such as Figure 4 , Figure 3 The X capacitor CRV2 in the middle can be removed. The third inductor and the fourth inductor form the second common mode inductor IND2. The second common mode inductor IND2 and the first common mode inductor IND1 form a two-stage filter. Under the action of the two-stage filter, the X capacitor before the first common mode inductor can be omitted.

[0054] Based on the EMI test results, the inductance of the second common-mode inductor IND2 can be adjusted. The inductances of the third and fourth inductors can both be smaller than the inductance of the first common-mode inductor. At the same time, the parameters of other components can be adjusted to achieve the anti-interference effect.

[0055] Figure 4 In the embodiment shown, since the X capacitor in the front stage of the first common mode inductor is replaced by the second common mode inductor, the X capacitor is not needed, saving controller space, and the filtering effect is obvious, stable and reliable.

[0056] Continue to refer to Figure 3 or Figure 4 A fuse FUSE1 can also be installed on the live wire. In the event of a short circuit, if the current in the live wire is too large, the fuse FUSE1 will melt and thus protect the circuit.

[0057] Continue to refer to Figure 3 or Figure 4 A discharge tube SA1 can also be installed between the live wire and the ground wire, and the live wire is connected to the ground wire through the discharge tube SA1.

[0058] The SA1 discharge tube is primarily used to protect circuits and equipment from lightning and other transient high-energy shocks. It is a switching device that conducts when the voltage across its terminals exceeds its breakdown voltage, diverting the high-voltage pulse to ground and thus protecting other components in the circuit from damage.

[0059] The discharge tube SA1 can be placed in front of the first common mode inductor. The first end of the first inductor is connected to the first end of the discharge tube SA1, and the second end of the discharge tube SA1 is connected to the ground line.

[0060] Continue to refer to Figure 3 or Figure 4 The discharge tube SA1 can be connected in series with a variable resistor RV3, which can more accurately adjust the discharge function of the discharge tube SA1.

[0061] Continue to refer to Figure 3 or Figure 4 A variable resistor RV1 can be added to the subsequent circuit of the first common-mode inductor IND1. The variable resistor RV1 can be flexibly adjusted, so that together with the inductor, X capacitor CRV2, etc., it can play a filtering role.

[0062] To optimize EMI testing results, parameters such as the common-mode inductor inductance, X capacitor capacitance, Y capacitor capacitance, and resistor value, as well as their routing, are adjusted according to the EMI electromagnetic interference test curve. The inductance of the third and fourth inductors can be set according to different interference frequency bands.

[0063] Continue to refer to Figure 3 or Figure 4 The X capacitor CRV1 can be set in the subsequent circuit of the first common mode inductor IND1 to achieve better filtering effect.

[0064] Continue to refer to Figure 3 or Figure 4 The live wire can be directly connected to the load end, such as the live wire port AC-L-PTC of a PTC.

[0065] Continue to refer to Figure 3 or Figure 4 The live wire can be connected to the load end through current-limiting resistors, such as resistors R186, R187, R188, and R189, and then connected to the AC-out port.

[0066] Based on the above embodiments, this application also provides an air conditioning device, which includes the above-mentioned filter circuit, and the filter circuit can be disposed inside the housing of the air conditioning device.

[0067] The air conditioning equipment can be an outdoor unit, and the filter circuit is connected to the outdoor unit controller. The filter circuit can be set on the circuit board inside the controller box.

[0068] Existing air conditioner outdoor units such as Figure 5 The controller 1 is installed on the windproof upright plate 2 of the outdoor unit. The connection between the controller and the LNS connection line needs to be converted by an additional terminal block, and a winding magnetic ring needs to be added to suppress electromagnetic interference.

[0069] The air conditioner outdoor unit provided in this application embodiment is as follows: Figure 6 The controller 1 is installed inside the outer casing of the outdoor unit, and the onboard terminals of the controller box are exposed. The onboard terminals are used to directly connect the power supply line, without the need for a terminal block adapter or a winding magnetic ring to suppress electromagnetic interference.

[0070] Implementing this installation method (placed on the right side panel) is particularly important for EMI debugging. The presence of the wire-wound ferrite ring can effectively suppress interference. Removing the external suspension ferrite ring requires debugging the EMI circuit. The specific debugging method should be optimized based on the circuit and test results to ensure that the test margin meets relevant standards.

[0071] The air conditioner outdoor unit provided in this application has the following advantages:

[0072] 1. The installation method has been changed. After-sales installation directly connects the power cord to the controller, eliminating the need for connection through a terminal block, thus improving assembly efficiency.

[0073] 2. With the same quality, the LNS connecting wire and winding ferrite ring are eliminated, resulting in reduced costs and improved efficiency.

[0074] The apparatus and system embodiments described above are merely illustrative. Some or all of the modules can be selected to achieve the purpose of this embodiment according to actual needs. Those skilled in the art can understand and implement these embodiments without any creative effort.

[0075] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
