[0018] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.
[0019] like Figs. 1 to 4As shown, a control board for a fixed-frequency dehumidifier includes a control circuit comprising: a microcontroller that acquires signals from external sensors (such as temperature and humidity) via pins, processes them through an internal program, and outputs control signals from corresponding pins to control relays and external devices; a control display module that displays system information and interacts with external devices via communication pins; a power supply circuit including a step-down chip for outputting 12V and 5V DC voltages, with the 12V DC voltage directly input to the relays; a terminal CN8 for connecting a wired controller to receive control signals from the user for system settings; and an electronic expansion valve circuit for regulating refrigerant flow.
[0020] At startup, the circuit is connected to 220V AC mains power. After AC power is connected, it is protected against overcurrent by a fuse, then surge protected by a varistor, and finally rectified by a rectifier bridge and filtered by a filter capacitor to obtain DC voltage. The DC voltage is then converted by a transformer and a switching power supply chip, and a feedback circuit adjusts the output to a stable DC voltage to power other circuits. Five relays control the start and stop of equipment such as fans and compressors, realizing equipment protection and safety control. The sensor input module monitors environmental parameters in real time, such as temperature, humidity, and liquid flow, providing feedback information to the microcontroller to help it make precise control. The electronic expansion valve is used to control the refrigerant flow to adjust the system's heat exchange efficiency. Through the control of the microcontroller, the various modules work closely together. After the dehumidification is started, the microcontroller controls the compressor relay to engage, the compressor is powered on and runs, and the refrigerant is compressed to achieve the refrigeration cycle. At the same time, the relays of fan 1 and fan 2 are controlled to operate, the fans run, and indoor air is drawn into the dehumidifier. When passing through the evaporator, water vapor condenses into water droplets upon cooling, achieving dehumidification. The dried air is then returned to the room. When the defrost sensor detects that the outdoor heat exchanger temperature is too low and reaches the frosting threshold, the microcontroller controls the four-way valve relay to change the refrigerant flow and initiate defrosting. It may also control the electric heating relay to activate electric heating for auxiliary defrosting. Status information is transmitted to external devices via communication port CN8, enabling this control board to perform functions such as automatic humidity adjustment, timed on / off switching, and fault self-diagnosis, improving the user experience. This fixed-frequency dehumidifier control board controls various operational aspects of the dehumidifier to ensure efficient and stable operation and achieve precise humidity control, meeting typical household / commercial needs.
[0021] The power supply circuit also includes a transformer and a rectifier bridge, which are used to supply mains power to the step-down chip. The control circuit also includes a 5-channel relay drive circuit for controlling the start and stop of the fan and compressor. The control circuit also includes a sensor input module for real-time monitoring of environmental parameters and providing feedback information to the microcontroller to help it perform precise control. The control circuit also includes an electronic expansion valve circuit for controlling refrigerant flow. The control circuit also includes a display module for displaying the current operating status of the system. The control circuit also includes a communication interface for data transmission with other devices. The control circuit also includes a protection circuit for preventing overload and short circuits. The control circuit also includes a button control circuit for implementing manual control functions. The control circuit also includes an alarm circuit for issuing audible or visual warning signals.
