Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This utility model relates to a power supply module for a dual-box refrigeration switching solenoid valve of a vehicle refrigerator. [Background Technology]
[0002] In existing DC dual-compartment car refrigerators, switching between the two compartments for cooling is generally achieved using solenoid valves. To achieve dual-temperature, dual-control cooling, the solenoid valves alternately cool the two compartments. When one compartment reaches its set temperature, the solenoid valve drives the refrigerant flow to the compartment that hasn't reached its set temperature. Once both compartments reach their set temperatures, the compressor stops working, thus ceasing cooling to both compartments. Currently, the rated operating voltage of solenoid valves on the market is 12V. These valves are typically used in household refrigerators that step down from 220V to 12V DC.
[0003] However, when the car refrigerator is inside a car during the summer, the interior temperature is high without air conditioning. The compressor needs to operate under a heavy load, putting significant pressure on the refrigeration system. When the system pressure exceeds the solenoid valve's opening pressure limit, the 12V DC power supply cannot drive the solenoid valve to switch operation. Simultaneously, the voltage inside the car is 13V when the engine is running, but drops to only 11V after the car is turned off. If the battery ages after prolonged use, the voltage will be even lower after the engine is off. In such cases, the power supply voltage may also be insufficient to drive the solenoid valve to switch operation, leading to abnormal solenoid valve operation and affecting the dual-box temperature control.

[Image Description]

[0015] Figure 2 This is a circuit diagram of the present invention. [Detailed Implementation]
[0016] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0017] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of this utility model are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. Furthermore, descriptions involving "preferred," "second-best," etc., in this utility model are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features defined as "preferred" or "second-best" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.
[0018] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a power supply module for a dual-compartment cooling switching solenoid valve in a vehicle refrigerator includes a solenoid valve switching circuit 1 that switches the operating state of the solenoid valve according to control commands, and a boost / buck drive circuit 2 that connects to an external power source, performs boost / buck processing on the input power, and outputs a regulated voltage to supply power to the solenoid valve switching circuit 1. The solenoid valve is a solenoid valve with one input port and two output ports, and switching the operating state of the solenoid valve involves switching the output port connected to the input port.
[0019] In actual use, the external power supply typically inputs a voltage of 9.6-31.5V. This external power supply, after being stepped up and down by the boost / buck drive circuit 2, outputs a regulated 16-17V voltage to the solenoid valve switching circuit 1. When the control circuit inputs a switching command to the solenoid valve switching circuit 1, the circuit, powered by the regulated 16-17V voltage, drives the solenoid valve to switch. The other output port of the switching solenoid valve is connected to the input port, allowing refrigerant to enter the other compartment, thereby controlling its temperature. Extensive testing in this case has shown that for refrigerator loads of 25-29 liters, switching can be achieved using a 16-17V voltage to drive the solenoid valve at 55 degrees Celsius. To reduce heat generation, the switching interval was adjusted from one pulse per minute (1 second per pulse) to six pulses every five minutes, each pulse lasting 200ms. This ensures normal switching operation of the solenoid valve even in high-temperature environments and under low-voltage input power conditions.
[0020] like Figure 2 As shown, the step-up / step-down drive circuit 2, through the step-up chip IC1 and related circuits, can output a regulated voltage after step-up / step-down processing based on the voltage value input from the external power supply, and provide regulated power to the solenoid valve switching circuit 1. It also realizes reverse connection protection and filtering functions.
[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, in the solenoid valve switching circuit 1, after the control circuit inputs a control command signal, the DC converter Q5 or the DC converter Q6 is turned on, thereby causing the switching driver Q3 or the switching driver Q4 to work, thereby controlling the solenoid valve to perform switching operations.
[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, capacitors C3, C4, and C12 are provided between the solenoid valve switching circuit 1 and the buck-boost drive circuit 2. One end of capacitor C3 is connected to one end of capacitor C4, one end of capacitor C12, the solenoid valve switching circuit 1, and the buck-boost drive circuit 2, respectively. The other ends of capacitors C3, C4, and C12 are grounded. Capacitors C3, C4, and C12 stabilize the output voltage of the buck-boost drive circuit 2, reduce noise and ripple, and can quickly provide or absorb transient current changes, enabling the buck-boost drive circuit 2 to output a stable voltage to power the solenoid valve switching circuit 1.

Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
