Description
- The present application is a Divisional application of pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/396,512 filed on Apr. 4, 2006, which claims the benefit of Korean Application No. 2005-29615 filed on Apr. 8, 2005 and Korean Application No. 2006-25468 filed on Mar. 20, 2006, the contents of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a compressor, and more particularly, to an apparatus for controlling a driving of a reciprocating compressor and a method thereof.
- 2. Description of the Background Art
- Generally, a reciprocating compressor is not provided with a crankshaft for converting a rotary motion into a linear motion thus to have a less frictional loss. Therefore, the reciprocating compressor has more increased compression efficiency than a general compressor.
- When the reciprocating compressor is applied to a refrigerator or an air conditioner, a cooling capacity thereof is controlled by varying a compression ratio by varying a stroke voltage inputted thereto. Herein, the stroke denotes a distance between an upper dead point of a piston and a lower dead point.
- The conventional reciprocating compressor will be explained with reference to
FIG. 1 . -
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a construction of an apparatus for controlling a driving of a reciprocating compressor in accordance with the conventional art. - As shown, the conventional apparatus for controlling a driving of a reciprocating compressor comprises a
current detector 4 for detecting a current applied to a motor (not shown) of a reciprocatingcompressor 6, avoltage detector 3 for detecting a voltage applied to the motor, astroke calculator 5 for calculating a stroke estimation value of the compressor according to the detected current and voltage and a parameter of the motor, acomparator 1 for comparing the calculated stroke estimation value with a preset stroke command value and thus outputting a difference value therebetween, and astroke controller 2 for controlling a stroke of thecompressor 6 by varying a voltage applied to the motor by controlling a turn-on cycle of a triac (not shown) connected to the motor in serial according to the difference value. - Hereinafter, an operation of the apparatus for controlling a driving of the reciprocating compressor according to the present invention will be explained with reference to
FIG. 1 . - The
current detector 4 detects a current applied to a motor (not shown) of thecompressor 6, and outputs the detected current value to thestroke calculator 5. Thevoltage detector 3 detects a voltage applied to the motor, and outputs the detected voltage value to thestroke calculator 5. - The
stroke calculator 5 calculates a stroke estimation value (X) of the compressor by substituting the detected current value, the detected voltage value, and a parameter of the motor into the followingformula 1, and then applies the calculated stroke estimation value (X) to thecomparator 1. -
- Herein, the R denotes a resistance value, the L denotes a motor inductance value, the α denotes a motor constant, the Vm denotes a voltage applied to the motor, the i denotes a current applied to the motor, and the i denotes a variation ratio of a current applied to the motor according to time. That is, the i denotes a differential value of the i (di/dt).
- Then, the
comparator 1 compares the stroke estimation value with the stroke command value, and applies a difference value therebetween to thestroke controller 2. - The
stroke controller 2 varies a voltage applied to the motor of thecompressor 6 according to the difference value, thereby controlling a stroke of thecompressor 6. -
FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a method for controlling a driving of a reciprocating compressor in accordance with the conventional art. - When a stroke estimation value obtained by the
stroke calculator 5 is applied to the comparator 1 (S1), thecomparator 1 compares the stroke estimation value with a preset stroke command value thereby to obtain a difference value therebetween (S2). Then, thecomparator 1 outputs the difference value to thestroke controller 2. - When the stroke estimation value is less than the stroke command value, the
stroke controller 2 increases a voltage to be applied to the motor in order to control a stroke of the compressor (S3). On the contrary, when the stroke estimation value is greater than the stroke command value, thestroke controller 2 decreases a voltage to be applied to the motor (S4). Herein, thestroke controller 2 increases or decreases a voltage to be applied to the motor by controlling a turn-on cycle of a triac (not shown) electrically connected to the motor. - The stroke command value is varied according to a size of a load of the reciprocating compressor. That is, when the load of the reciprocating compressor is large, the stroke command value is increased not to decrease a stroke of a piston thereby to prevent a cooling capacity from being decreased. On the contrary, when the load of the reciprocating compressor is small, the stroke command value is decreased not to increase a stroke of a piston thereby to prevent a cooling capacity from being increased and to prevent a collision between the piston and a cylinder due to an over stroke.
- The conventional linear compressor using a stroke voltage has a decreased efficiency when a stroke of a piston is decreased into a certain level, thereby having a limitation in implementing a capacity variation.
- The conventional rotary compressor using a rotation motor implements a capacity variation of a wide range by varying a frequency. When a frequency is varied within a range of a small capacity variation, the efficiency of the rotary compressor is not drastically decreased. On the contrary, when a stroke of a piston is small, the efficiency of the reciprocating compressor is decreased.
- Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for controlling a driving of a reciprocating compressor capable of increasing an efficiency of a driving motor by judging a load according to a phase difference between a current and a stroke applied to the reciprocating compressor and then by controlling a driving frequency and a stroke according to the judged load, and a method thereof.

FIGS. 3 and 4 , will be explained an apparatus for controlling a driving of a reciprocating compressor capable of driving the reciprocating compressor of a high load by a linear compressor having the same capacity and capable of reducing a consumption power in a main driving state by judging a load size according to a phase difference between a current and a stroke applied to the reciprocating compressor and by controlling a current driving frequency and a stroke according to the judgment result, and a method thereof. -
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a construction of an apparatus for controlling a driving of a reciprocating compressor according to the present invention. - As shown, the apparatus for controlling a driving of a reciprocating compressor according to the present invention comprises a
voltage detecting unit 100, acurrent detecting unit 110, astroke detecting unit 120, a controllingunit 130, first andsecond comparing units value determining unit 150, a drivingfrequency determining unit 160, aPWM controlling unit 180, aninverter 190, and apower unit 200. - The
current detecting unit 110 detects a current of a motor of a linear compressor, and thevoltage detecting unit 100 detects a voltage of a motor of a linear compressor. - The
stroke detecting unit 120 calculates a stroke by the detected current and voltage. - The controlling
unit 130 compares a phase difference between the detected current and the stroke with a reference phase difference thereby to judge whether the result value corresponds to a high load. Then, the controllingunit 130 outputs a frequency control signal and a stroke control signal according to the judgment result. - As a first embodiment of the controlling
unit 130, when a phase difference between the detected current and the stroke is less than a reference phase difference, the controllingunit 130 judges a load of the reciprocating compressor as a high load and thus outputs a frequency control signal to vary a current driving frequency into a driving frequency larger than a resonance frequency. - As a second embodiment of the controlling
unit 130, when a phase difference between the detected current and the stroke is less than a reference phase difference, the controllingunit 130 judges a load of the reciprocating compressor as a high load and thus outputs a frequency control signal to vary a current stroke into a full stroke. - As a third embodiment of the controlling
unit 130, when a phase difference between the detected current and the stroke is less than a reference phase difference, the controllingunit 130 judges a load of the reciprocating compressor as a high load and thus outputs a frequency control signal to vary a current driving frequency into a driving frequency larger than a resonance frequency, and outputs a stroke control signal to vary a current stroke into a full stroke. - As a fourth embodiment of the controlling
unit 130, when a phase difference between the detected current and the stroke is larger than a reference phase difference, the controllingunit 130 judges a load of the reciprocating compressor as a normal load (a low load or a middle load) and thus outputs a stroke control signal for varying a capacity (a capacity within a range of 30 to 90% of a maximum capacity). - As a fifth embodiment of the controlling
unit 130, when a phase difference between the detected current and the stroke is larger than a reference phase difference, the controllingunit 130 judges a load of the reciprocating compressor as a normal load (a low load or a middle load) and thus outputs a frequency control signal for varying a current driving frequency into a resonance frequency. - As a sixth embodiment of the controlling
unit 130, when a phase difference between the detected current and the stroke is larger than a reference phase difference, the controllingunit 130 judges a load of the reciprocating compressor as a normal load (a low load or a middle load) and thus outputs a stroke control signal for varying a capacity and a frequency control signal for varying a current driving frequency into a resonance frequency. - In order to detect the resonance frequency, the controlling
unit 130 varies a frequency and a stroke so that a phase difference between the detected current and the stroke can be 90°, or varies a frequency and a stroke so that a phase difference between a velocity and a current of the reciprocating compressor can be 0°, or directly calculates a gas spring constant. - The controlling
unit 130 can generate a load by a pre-stored experimental value by detecting a user's set temperature or an external temperature. - The driving frequency command
value determining unit 160 determines a driving frequency command value for varying a driving frequency according to the frequency control signal. - The stroke command
value determining unit 150 determines a stroke command value for varying a stroke according to the stroke control signal. - The first comparing
unit 170 compares the driving frequency command value with a current driving frequency, and outputs a frequency compensation signal according to the comparison result. - The second comparing
unit 140 compares the stroke command value with a current stroke, and outputs a stroke compensation signal according to the comparison result. - The
PWM controlling unit 180 outputs a PWM control signal to vary a driving frequency and a stroke according to the frequency compensation signal and the stroke compensation signal. - Herein, the PWM control signal comprises a PWM duty ratio varying signal for varying a stroke voltage applied to the motor of the reciprocating compressor, and a PWM period varying signal for varying a frequency of a voltage applied to the reciprocating compressor.
- The
inverter 190 varies a voltage and a driving frequency applied to the motor of the reciprocating compressor according to the PWM control signal. - The
inverter 190 is used to generate an AC power of an optional frequency so as to vary a velocity of a motor by using a supply voltage (AC 50 Hz or 60 Hz). The usage of theinverter 190 has the following advantages. First, a speed variation of the motor of the reciprocating compressor is facilitated, energy saving is implemented, and the efficiency of the reciprocating compressor is enhanced by applying a low frequency rather than a high frequency. - That is, the
inverter 190 controls on/off time of an inner switching device by the PWM control signal, and varies a frequency of a DC power and a voltage level outputted from thepower unit 200 thereby to apply to the motor of the reciprocating compressor. - Herein, the
power unit 200 rectifies and smoothens an AC power thereby to generate a certain DC power. - Hereinafter, an operation of the apparatus for controlling a driving of a reciprocating compressor will be explained in more detail with reference to
FIG. 4 . -
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a method for controlling a driving of a reciprocating compressor according to the present invention. - First, a motor of a reciprocating compressor is driven with a certain stroke command value (SP11).
- Then, the current detecting
unit 110 detects a current of the motor of the reciprocating compressor, and thevoltage detecting unit 100 detects a voltage of the motor of the reciprocating compressor (SP12). - Then, the
stroke detecting unit 120 calculates a stroke by using the detected current and the detected voltage (SP13). - Then, the controlling
unit 130 detects a phase difference between the detected current and the stroke (SP14), and compares the phase difference with a reference phase difference (SP15). - The reference phase difference is set to have an optimum value by experiments.
- When a load of the reciprocating compressor is increased, a gas spring constant is increased and thus a phase difference between a current and a stroke is decreased.
- That is, when a phase difference between a current and a stroke is 90°, a resonance frequency corresponding to a middle load is generated. Also, when a phase difference between a current and a stroke is 60°, a resonance frequency corresponding to a high load is generated, which is certified by experiments.
- Accordingly, the reference phase difference is set to have a value larger than 60°.
- The reference phase difference is set at a point smaller than a point where a TDC=0.
- The TDC denotes a top dead center of a piston of a reciprocating compressor, and signifies a position of a piston that has completed a stroke process.
- When the TDC is positioned at ‘0’, the efficiency of the reciprocating compressor is the maximized. Therefore, the reciprocating compressor is controlled so that the piston can be positioned at a point of TDC=0.
- As one embodiment, when a phase difference between a current and a stroke is smaller than a reference phase difference, the controlling
unit 130 judges a load of the reciprocating compressor as a high load and thus outputs a frequency control signal for varying a current driving frequency into a driving frequency larger than a resonance frequency. - As another embodiment, when a phase difference between a current and a stroke is smaller than a reference phase difference, the controlling
unit 130 judges a load of the reciprocating compressor as a high load and thus outputs a stroke control signal for varying a current stroke into a full stroke. - As still another embodiment, when a phase difference between a current and a stroke is smaller than a reference phase difference, the controlling
unit 130 judges a load of the reciprocating compressor as a high load, outputs a frequency control signal for varying a current driving frequency into a driving frequency larger than a resonance frequency, and outputs a stroke control signal for varying a current stroke into a full stroke (SP22). - The stroke command
value determining unit 150 determines a stroke command value for varying a current stroke into a full stroke according to a stroke control signal outputted from the controllingunit 130, and applies it to the second comparing unit 140 (SP17). - The driving frequency command
value determining unit 160 determines a driving frequency larger than a resonance frequency as a driving frequency command value according to a frequency control signal outputted from the controllingunit 130, and applies it to the first comparing unit 170 (SP18). - The driving frequency command value is set according to a load size by an experiment.
- The first comparing
unit 170 compares the driving frequency command value with a current driving frequency, and applies a frequency compensation signal according to the comparison result to the PWM controlling unit 180 (SP19). - The second comparing
unit 140 compares the stroke command value with a current stroke, and applies a stroke compensation signal according to the comparison result to the PWM controlling unit 180 (SP19). - Then, the
PWM controlling unit 180 applies a PWM control signal according to the frequency compensation signal outputted from the first comparingunit 170 and the stroke compensation signal outputted from the second comparingunit 140 to the inverter 190 (SP20). Theinverter 190 varies a stroke voltage and a driving frequency applied to the motor of the reciprocating compressor according to the PWM control signal (SP21). - As one embodiment, when a phase difference between a current and a stroke applied to the motor of the reciprocating compressor is larger than a reference phase difference, the controlling
unit 130 judges a load of the reciprocating compressor as a normal load (a middle load or a low load) and thus outputs a stroke control signal for varying a driving capacity of the reciprocating compressor. - As another embodiment, when a phase difference between a current and a stroke applied to the motor of the reciprocating compressor is larger than a reference phase difference, the controlling
unit 130 outputs a frequency control signal for varying a driving frequency into a resonance frequency. - As a preferable embodiment, when a phase difference between a current and a stroke applied to the motor of the reciprocating compressor is larger than a reference phase difference, the controlling
unit 130 judges a load of the reciprocating compressor as a normal load (a middle load or a low load), outputs a frequency control signal for varying a current driving frequency into a resonance frequency, and outputs a stroke control signal for varying a driving capacity of the reciprocating compressor (SP16). - The stroke command
value determining unit 150 determines a stroke command value for varying a driving capacity of the reciprocating compressor into a driving capacity corresponding to a current load according to a stoke control signal outputted from the controllingunit 130, and applies it to the second comparing unit 140 (SP17). - The driving frequency command
value determining unit 160 determines a resonance frequency as a driving frequency command value according to a frequency control signal outputted from the controllingunit 130, and applies it to the first comparing unit 170 (SP18). - The first comparing
unit 170 compares the driving frequency command value with a current driving frequency, and applies a frequency compensation signal according to the comparison result to the PWM controlling unit 180 (SP19). - The second comparing
unit 140 compares the stroke command value with a current stroke, and applies a stroke compensation signal according to the comparison result to the PWM controlling unit 180 (SP19). - Then, the
PWM controlling unit 180 applies a PWM control signal according to the frequency compensation signal outputted form the first comparingunit 170 and the stroke compensation signal outputted from the second comparingunit 140 to the inverter 190 (SP20). Theinverter 190 varies a stroke voltage and a driving frequency applied to the motor of the reciprocating compressor according to the PWM control signal (SP21). - In the present invention, a size of a current load is judged by comparing a phase difference between a current and a stroke applied to the reciprocating compressor with a reference phase difference. If the current load is judged as a high load, a current driving frequency is varied into a driving frequency larger than a resonance frequency, and a current stroke is varied into a full stroke. Accordingly, it is possible to correspond to a load more than a high load by using the reciprocating compressor having the same capacity.
- Also, in the present invention, a size of a current load is judged by comparing a phase difference between a current and a stroke applied to the reciprocating compressor with a reference phase difference. If the current load is judged as a middle load or a low load, a stroke control signal for varying a capacity is outputted, and a current driving frequency is varied into a driving frequency. Accordingly, consumption power can be enhanced in a main driving state of a refrigerator or an air conditioner.
- That is, in the reciprocating compressor of the present invention, a maximum cooling capacity is not always generated but a necessary cooling capacity is generated by controlling a stroke. Accordingly, consumption power can be reduced.
- As aforementioned, in the apparatus for controlling a driving of a reciprocating compressor and the method thereof according to the present invention, a size of a current load is judged by comparing a phase difference between a current and a stroke applied to the reciprocating compressor with a reference phase difference. If the current load is judged as a high load, a current driving frequency is varied into a driving frequency larger than a resonance frequency, and a current stroke is varied into a full stroke. Accordingly, it is possible to correspond to a load more than a high load by using the reciprocating compressor having the same capacity, and thus the efficiency of the reciprocating compressor can be enhanced.
- Also, in the present invention, a size of a current load is judged by comparing a phase difference between a current and a stroke applied to the reciprocating compressor with a reference phase difference. If the current load is judged as a middle load or a low load, a stroke control signal for varying a capacity is outputted, and a current driving frequency is varied into a driving frequency. Accordingly, consumption power can be enhanced in a main driving state of a refrigerator or an air conditioner.
