[0023] Embodiment 1

[0024] In a typical embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 2-3 , a power supply circuit is proposed.

[0025] In the current compressor power supply circuit 6, a thermistor short circuit 4 is connected across the thermistor NTC1, which is used to short the thermistor NTC1 after the frequency converter is started, so as to reduce the loss of the frequency converter and improve the efficiency. However, this design needs to additionally increase a relay, which leads to high cost and large size of the circuit, and limits its application. Based on this, the present embodiment proposes a power supply circuit 6, which uses a thermistor short circuit 4 with a MOS tube U1 to short the thermistor NTC1. Not only the efficiency of the frequency converter is improved, but also the use of the relay is saved, and the cost and size problems caused by the use of the relay circuit are reduced, and the applicability of the circuit in practical application is increased.

[0026] As shown in Figure 2 , the power supply circuit 6 includes the input circuit 1, the discharge circuit 2 and the rectifier filter circuit 3 connected in series, the rectifier filter circuit 3 is provided with the thermistor NTC1, and the thermistor NTC1 is connected in parallel with the thermistor short circuit 4. The power supply circuit 6 is the power supply circuit 6 of the frequency converter, wherein the discharge circuit 2 and the input circuit 1 are not improved, and the related structures can refer to the existing structures. Different from the circuit structure in Figure 1 , in the present embodiment, the thermistor NTC1 is connected into the rectifier filter circuit 3.

[0027] The input circuit 1 is responsible for receiving external power input as the input part of the whole power supply circuit 6. The discharge circuit 2 is usually used to provide a discharge path for the energy storage elements (such as capacitors) in the circuit when the power is off, so as to prevent the voltage remaining between the plug pins from causing harm to the human body. The rectifier filter circuit 3 converts the input alternating current into direct current and smoothes the output of the direct current through a filter element (such as a capacitor). The thermistor NTC1 is connected in series in the rectifier filter circuit 3, which is used to limit the current at the initial stage of power start to prevent excessive current from impacting the circuit elements. As the temperature rises, the resistance of the thermistor NTC1 gradually decreases, allowing more current to pass through.

[0028] The thermistor shorting circuit 4 includes a MOS tube U1, a first transistor Q1, a second transistor Q2 and a first resistor R1. The MOS tube U1 is used as the main switching element to short the thermistor NTC1 under the action of the control signal. The first transistor Q1 and the second transistor Q2 constitute a control signal amplification circuit, which is used to amplify the weak control signal to a sufficient degree to drive the MOS tube U1. The first resistor R1 is used as a current limiting element to protect the gate of the MOS tube U1 from excessive current impact. The control signal input end receives an external control signal for controlling the switching state of the MOS tube U1.

[0029] The base ends of the first transistor Q1 and the second transistor Q2 are the control signal input end. When the control signal input end receives a high-level signal, the first transistor Q1 is turned on to apply a positive voltage to the gate of the MOS tube U1 through the first resistor R1, so that the MOS tube U1 is turned on to short the thermistor NTC1. At the same time, the second transistor Q2 is also in the on state, but its main function is to provide an additional current path to ensure that the MOS tube U1 can be reliably turned on. When the control signal input end receives a low-level signal, the first transistor Q1 and the second transistor Q2 are both cut off, the MOS tube U1 is turned off, and the thermistor NTC1 is reconnected to the circuit. The overall performance of the frequency converter is improved, the operating cost is reduced, the reliability and stability of the circuit are enhanced, and the flexibility and applicability of the circuit in practical application are increased.

[0030] The thermistor shorting circuit 4 is used to short the thermistor NTC1 under certain conditions. When the drain end and the source end of the MOS tube U1 are in the off state, the thermistor NTC1 is normally connected in the power supply circuit 6 to play a role in current limiting protection. When the drain end and the source end of the MOS tube U1 are connected, the thermistor NTC1 is shorted, thereby reducing its influence in the circuit, reducing the loss and improving the efficiency.

[0031] The MOS tube U1 uses an N-channel MOS tube U1 as the main switching element, and the N-channel MOS tube U1 is turned on when the gate voltage is higher than the source voltage. The rectifier filter circuit 3 is provided with a bridge rectifier diode D2 and a filter capacitor C5. The bridge rectifier diode D2 can convert the input alternating current into direct current. The bridge rectifier is composed of four diodes, forming a full-wave rectifier circuit, which ensures that there is current flowing through the load in each half cycle. The filter capacitor C5 can smooth the output of the direct current and reduce voltage fluctuations. The two direct current output terminals of the bridge rectifier diode D2 are respectively connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the filter capacitor C5, forming a filter circuit. The thermistor NTC1 is connected in series between one direct current output terminal of the bridge rectifier diode D2 and the filter capacitor C5, and is used to limit the starting current.

[0032] The input circuit 1 also includes a fuse, a voltage-dependent resistor, and a power input port. One end of the fuse and one end of the voltage-dependent resistor are connected to the discharge circuit 2. The other end of the fuse and the other end of the voltage-dependent resistor are respectively connected to one connection terminal of the power input port. The other end of the voltage-dependent resistor is connected to the discharge circuit 2. The fuse provides overcurrent protection. When the current in the circuit exceeds the rated value, the fuse melts and cuts off the circuit, preventing equipment damage or fire. The voltage-dependent resistor provides overvoltage protection. When the voltage in the circuit exceeds the rated voltage of the voltage-dependent resistor, its resistance rapidly decreases, directing the overvoltage to ground, protecting the circuit from damage.

[0033] The power input port connects to an external power source, providing power to the entire circuit.

[0034] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the control signal input terminal is connected to the controller 5 for receiving control signals. The controller 5 can use a single-chip microcomputer or the like. It can send high or low level signals to the control signal input terminal of the thermistor short circuit 4 according to the preset logic or external input signals, thereby controlling the switching state of the MOS tube U1.

[0035] The first transistor Q1 is an NPN transistor Q1, with its collector terminal connected to a positive voltage terminal and its emitter terminal connected to one end of the first resistor R1 and the emitter terminal of the second transistor Q2 (PNP type). When the base receives a high level signal, the NPN transistor is turned on.

[0036] The second transistor Q2 is a PNP transistor Q2, with its collector terminal grounded and its emitter terminal connected to the emitter terminal of the NPN transistor. When the NPN transistor is turned on, the PNP transistor Q2 is also turned on, providing a sufficient voltage difference for the gate of the MOS tube U1 to turn on.

[0037] By using MOS tube U1 to replace the relay, the cost and size of the circuit are reduced, the efficiency of the frequency converter is improved, and the loss is reduced.

[0038] Embodiment 2

[0039] In another typical embodiment of the utility model, as shown in Figure 3 A frequency converter is provided.

[0040] A frequency converter includes a master control chip 5, a power supply circuit 6, a communication circuit 7, a feedback circuit 8, and a drive circuit 9. The connection relationship of the above components is known and will not be described again.

[0041] Among them, the functions of each functional circuit in the frequency converter are as follows:

[0042] The input of the communication circuit 7 is controlled by the master control chip 5, which controls the shutdown, opening and speed of the frequency converter.

[0043] The feedback circuit 8 samples the output current and bus voltage of the frequency converter and feeds back, which is used to provide current protection, voltage protection, etc.

[0044] The drive circuit 9 is used to provide three-phase output voltage of the compressor.

[0045] The power supply circuit 6 in this embodiment uses the power supply circuit in Embodiment 1 above.

[0046] When the power supply circuit 6 uses the power supply circuit in Embodiment 1 above, the NTC1 thermal resistor can be short-circuited after the frequency converter is started, effectively reducing the loss of the frequency converter and increasing the efficiency of the frequency converter.

[0047] On the basis of the above structure, the communication circuit 7 structure of the present embodiment is also improved to solve the problem that the current communication circuit mostly uses PWM communication mode, which is single in communication mode and cannot be compatible with Drop in mechanical frequency conversion communication mode.

[0048] Among them, the communication circuit 7 includes a PWM signal input port and a mechanical frequency conversion Drop-in input port, and the PWM signal input port and the mechanical frequency conversion Drop-in input port are connected to the communication circuit in a selective manner.

[0049] The PWM signal input port and the mechanical frequency conversion Drop-in input port are input ports J3 of the communication circuit 7. The output end of the communication circuit 7 is labeled PWMIN and is connected to the capture port of the master control chip 5 to detect the PWM frequency.

[0050] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
