Method for discharge control of full-bus load in household appliance, and related apparatuses

ActiveUS12676482B2Active power factor correctionControl engineering
Provided are a method for controlling a full bus load to discharge in a household electrical appliance and related apparatuses. In the method, in response to determining that a half bus load is turned on and a full bus load is turned off, a voltage difference between a first DC power and a second DC power is determined to obtain a voltage difference. The first DC power and the second DC power are obtained by converting three-phase power through a three-level active PFC unit. Subsequent to the voltage difference between the first DC power and the second DC power being determined, a full bus load is controlled to be turned on or off based on the voltage difference to stabilize a half bus voltage in a predetermined voltage interval.

Electrical control board, outdoor air conditioning unit and air conditioner

PendingCN122328822AActive power factor correctionElectrical control
This application discloses an electronic control board, an outdoor air conditioning unit, and an air conditioner, belonging to the field of household appliance technology. The electronic control board is divided into a first installation area, a second installation area, a third installation area, and a fourth installation area, and the main control chip circuit, active power factor correction control circuit, frequency converter control circuit, power input circuit, and functional interface circuit are installed in different installation areas respectively. Due to the partitioned installation and the main control chip circuit being installed on one side of the substrate, i.e., near the edge of the substrate, the passive components are arranged around the control chip or concentrated on one side of the control chip, making it easier to dissipate the heat generated by the control chip, reducing heat interference between the control chip and other components in the installation area, which is beneficial to improving heat dissipation efficiency and enabling the electronic control board to adapt to higher frequency and performance control requirements.
