Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat pump unit technology, and in particular to a residential variable frequency heat pump unit. Background Technology
[0002] A heat pump unit is a highly efficient and energy-saving cooling and heating device. Its principle is based on the reverse Carnot cycle, consuming a small amount of high-grade energy to absorb heat from a low-temperature heat source and transfer it to a high-temperature heat source to achieve cooling or heating functions. It mainly consists of components such as a compressor, condenser, evaporator, and expansion valve, with the compressor being the core component responsible for driving the refrigerant circulation. Heat pump units are characterized by high energy efficiency, significantly reducing energy consumption compared to traditional air conditioners or boilers. They also operate smoothly, with low noise and a long service life. Furthermore, they possess good environmental adaptability, operating stably under various climatic conditions. Heat pump units are widely used in residential, commercial buildings, and industrial sites, meeting both winter heating needs and summer cooling services. Some models can even provide domestic hot water, achieving multiple functions in one unit. With continuous technological advancements, the performance and efficiency of heat pump units are constantly improving, making them an important choice for modern building energy conservation and creating comfortable environments.
[0003] However, when the heat pump unit is placed in a relatively dry environment, dust will inevitably accumulate on the impeller of the fan in the heat pump unit due to environmental issues. If the dust is not cleaned in time, the impeller will vibrate due to uneven force when the fan is working after a long period of use, resulting in a lot of noise when the entire heat pump unit is working.

[0043] The fan motor 2 of this invention generates vibration, and then the fan rotor vibration is monitored and speed controlled in real time through a wind speed control circuit. Its working principle is as follows:
[0044] When the fan motor 2 starts, the piezoelectric sensor LDT0-028K in the vibration detection module 5 converts the mechanical vibration into an electrical signal. After being amplified 50 times by the operational amplifier LM358, it passes through a band-pass filter network composed of a high-pass filter consisting of a 1μF capacitor and a 160kΩ resistor and a low-pass filter consisting of a 0.1μF capacitor and a 1.6kΩ resistor to effectively filter out environmental noise interference. Then, it is converted into a DC level signal by the diode absolute value circuit and input to the voltage comparator LM393. When the vibration amplitude exceeds the preset threshold, the voltage comparator LM393 outputs a high level to trigger the first timer NE555 to enter a 30-second monostable mode. At the same time, the second timer NE555 generates a pulse signal with a 5-second cycle. The dual monostable trigger CD4528 accurately controls the output of three 5-second high-speed pulses within the 30-second window. The JQC-3FF-SZ relay is driven by the MOS transistor IRF540N to engage, causing the fan motor 2 to intermittently accelerate within a set time, using centrifugal force to remove dust from the surface of the fan blades.
[0045] During this process, the status indicator module 8 displays the system status in real time through dual-color LEDs. A solid green light indicates normal power supply, while a red light indicates excessive vibration. The manual control module 9 allows users to simulate vibration signals to verify the circuit function via the test button, or to forcibly terminate the acceleration cycle via the reset button.
[0046] In this way, the fan motor 2 will not continuously rotate at high speed after starting, avoiding the noise caused by continuous high-speed rotation in order to shake off dust, reducing the failure rate of the fan motor 2, and having significant energy-saving and emission-reduction value and equipment life extension effect.
