In above-mentioned operation of air conditioner, control device 4 judges whether the engine 10 according to air conditioner load control is overload state, when being in overload state, carry out reduce engine load processing (minimizing of engine load is handled).Under this enforcement state, obtain the information (control information) of so-called current state of a control of engine 10 of engine speed, fuel adjusting valve opening, the throttle valve opening of expression engine 10, with reference to this information comparable data storehouse 50, judge whether engine 10 is overload state.Fig. 3 is the illustration of database 50.
The corresponding torque value that engine speed, fuel adjusting valve opening, throttle valve opening, engine 10 are arranged, the thermal efficiency of engine, the voltage that IG (igniting) requires, the flow and the λ (excess air ratio) of combustion gas of recording and narrating in database 50.Wherein, engine speed, fuel adjusting valve opening, throttle valve opening are the information that engine 10 can be measured in control, and voltage and λ that torque value, IG require are used to judge whether engine 10 is in the information of overload state.That is to say that if torque value is excessive, the durability of engine descends; If the voltage height that IG requires, then the coil life-span reduces; If λ value diminishes and detonation just takes place, causes engine damage, be to be used for what is called to determine the information of the high situation of engine load (load is determined information) in addition, whether the thermal efficiency of engine is to be used to judge that engine economizing when can turn round, with the information of the good velocity of rotation running of the thermal efficiency.And the flow of combustion gas is the control of gas demand and economizes the information that is suitable for using most in the time of turning round.
This database 50 is conduct load on engine for example, add 1,3,5,7,9,11, the torque of 13 (kgm), each torque is made the such fuel metering control valve opening of engine rotation with 1000 (rpm), throttle valve opening, under this state, obtain the fuel adjusting valve opening according to detecting to wait, throttle valve opening, the flow of combustion gas, torque value, the thermal efficiency of engine, the voltage that IG requires, the flow of combustion gas and λ are 1200 (rpm) to engine speed equally, 1400 (rpm) ... 2000 (rpm) also wait the fuel adjusting valve opening of obtaining under each torque according to detecting, throttle valve opening, the flow of combustion gas, the thermal efficiency of engine, the voltage that IG requires, the flow of combustion gas and λ.Make these by image conversion and detect data, be stored among the EEPROM42 of control device 4.The situation that is not limited to survey also can wait with simulation and obtain each value that the operational situation that makes such engine 10 is carried out the situation of various variations, makes above-mentioned database 50 according to these data.
25 Fig. 4 are that expression reduces the flow chart that engine load is handled.
At first, control device 4 is obtained present engine speed, fuel adjusting valve opening, throttle valve opening, with reference to the database 50 that is stored among the EEPROM42, obtain the voltage and the λ (step S1) of present torque value, IG requirement according to the engine speed that obtains, fuel adjusting valve opening, throttle valve opening.At this moment, when voltage that can not require from database 50 direct given torque values, IG and λ, by according to replenishing calculating, obtain the voltage and the λ of torque value, IG requirement with present engine speed, fuel adjusting valve opening, the nearest operational situation of throttle valve opening.
Secondly, control device 4 judges according to voltage and the λ that the torque value of obtaining, IG require whether engine 10 is over burdening state (step S2).Particularly, control device 4 judges whether little than predefined λ lower limit than predefined upper voltage limit value height, λ whether voltage that whether torque value require than predefined torque upper limit value height, IG, wherein each just judges that engine 10 is in the over burdening state as long as meet, if any one does not all meet, judge that then engine 10 is not at the over burdening state.
If judge that engine 10 is in over burdening state (step S2:YES), then control device 4 reduces the engine loading reduction control of engine loading.
Elaborate, control device 4 is at first judged the aperture whether consistent with predefined lower limit L1 (step S3) of the expansion valve (outdoor expansion valve 14 when indoor expansion valve 21a, 21b during cooling operation, heating running) of vaporizer side.Afterwards, with lower limit L1 when inconsistent when bigger than lower limit L1 (), control device 4 reduces an ormal weight (step S4) to expansion valve opening.At this, lower limit L 1 does not make the significantly lower limit of the expansion valve opening of decline of air-conditioning, by reduce expansion valve opening in the scope that air-conditioning is significantly descended, can reduce the internal circulating load of refrigerant, the load of reduction engine.
Control device 4 reduces behind the expansion valve opening or judges engine 10 not at the over burdening state, by transferring to the processing of step S1, continues to judge whether engine 10 is the over burdening state.Therefore, control device 4 every judgement engines 10 are in the over burdening state, just reduce the aperture of evaporator expansion valve lentamente, and engine load is gently reduced.Like this, when judging that engine 10 is in the over burdening state, the aperture of evaporator expansion valve is little of lower limit L1 (step S3: lower limit L1), just transfer to the processing of step S5.
In the processing of step S5, control device 4 judges whether the velocity of rotation of fan (during cooling operation when outdoor fan 16, heating running indoor fan 22a, 22b) of condenser sides is consistent with predefined higher limit U2, and (than higher limit U2 hour) increases to ormal weight (step S6) with the velocity of rotation of fan when inconsistent.At this, higher limit U2 is set at upper limit velocity of rotation that fan allows or the upper limit velocity of rotation of noise in permissible range that fan produced.By the fan velocity of rotation of such increasing, can improve the load of condensing pressure, reduction engine 10
The velocity of rotation of fan strengthens back control device 4 by transferring to the processing of step S1, and engine 10 judgement once again at every turn is in overload condition, and the velocity of rotation of fan slowly strengthens.Like this, velocity of rotation that engine 10 is in overload condition, fan reach higher limit U2 (step S5: higher limit L2), control device 4 is just transferred to the processing of step S7 when judging.
In the processing of step S7, control device 4 judges whether the rotating speed of engine is consistent with predefined lower limit L3, with lower limit L3 when inconsistent when bigger than lower limit L3 (), regulates engine speed than ormal weight little (step S8).At this, lower limit L3 is set at the engine speed that air-conditioning does not significantly descend.By engine speed is descended, the compression ratio that can reduce compressor 11 is with the load with the minimizing engine.
After the rotating speed of engine 10 descended, control device 4 was by transferring to the processing of step S1, and engine 10 judgement once again at every turn is in overload condition, and the velocity of rotation of engine slowly descends.Like this, velocity of rotation that engine 10 is in overload condition, engine reach lower limit L3 (step S7: lower limit L3), control device 4 is just transferred to the processing of step S9 when judging.
In the processing of step S9, control device 4 judges whether the aperture of by-passing valve 18 is consistent with predefined higher limit L4, when inconsistent (than higher limit L4 hour), makes the opening ratio ormal weight big (step S10) of by-passing valve 18.At this, higher limit L4 is set at the aperture of the by-passing valve that air-conditioning significantly do not descend.By opening by-passing valve 18 like this, the compression ratio that can reduce compressor 11 is to reduce the load of engine.
After opening by-passing valve 18, control device 4 is by transferring to the processing of step S 1, and engine 10 judgement once again at every turn is in overload condition, and the aperture of by-passing valve 18 slowly strengthens.Like this, when judging that engine 10 is in overload condition, finally make the aperture of by-passing valve 18 increase to higher limit L4.
Like this, when engine 10 reaches overload condition, carry out the expansion valve opening adjusting of vaporizer side, the speed adjusting of condenser fan, the adjusting of engine speed, the adjusting of by-passing valve aperture by order, just can make engine 10 get back to common load condition in any stage from overload condition.But, even carry out in all stages, also judge when engine 10 is in overload condition, because there are the unusual situations of some generation such as error in the aperture of the rotating speed of the engine that consideration obtains, the aperture of fuel control valve, choke valve, control device 4 is preferably carried out the processing such as warning of placing regulation.
And above-mentioned lower limit L1, higher limit L2, lower limit L3 and higher limit L4 are set at expansion valve opening, the speed of condenser fan, engine speed, the by-passing valve aperture that air-conditioning is significantly descended, but if these are worth as fixed value, for example set if make above-mentioned lower limit L1 be fit to the big situation of air conditioner load, air conditioner load hour, even producing and making expansion valve opening is the value lower than lower limit L1, also can not make air-conditioning significantly descend, can reduce the situation of engine load etc., the regulated quantity of engine load is restricted.
Therefore, present embodiment control device 4 is controlled according to present air conditioner load change lower limit L1, higher limit L2, lower limit L3 and higher limit L4.Particularly, control device 4 is for example obtained the discharge temperature of indoor unit 2a, 2b according to temperature sensor 23a, 23b, and each value that changes L1~L4 according to discharge temperature is controlled.For example in when refrigeration, judge discharge temperature whether meet be less than or equal to 8 ℃, 8 ℃~12 ℃, 12 ℃~16 ℃, the arbitrary condition during more than or equal to 16 ℃, according to each value of each condition change L1~L4.Therefore can be in the scope that air-conditioning is significantly descended, extensively guarantee aperture, the condenser fan of evaporator expansion valve speed, engine speed, by-passing valve aperture respectively change width, promptly, can fully guarantee the regulated quantity of engine load, can make engine 10 avoid overload condition more effectively.
As above illustrated, in the engine-driven type air conditioning device 100 of present embodiment, by judging according to engine speed, fuel adjusting valve opening, by-passing valve aperture whether engine 10 is in overload condition, can judge engine load according to the present state of a control of engine, compare with judge the existing product whether engine is in overload condition indirectly according to the shaft power of compressor, can judge accurately whether engine 10 is in overload condition.
When engine is overload condition, be throttled to lower limit L1, the speed of condenser fan is increased to higher limit L2, engine speed is reduced to lower limit L3, the aperture of by-passing valve 18 is increased to higher limit L4 by aperture the vaporizer side expansion valve, reduce the load of engine in this order, generally can preferentially carry out the control of the aperture of the vaporizer side expansion valve when reducing engine load, carried out, the load of engine is reduced, and can make engine 10 avoid overload condition effectively.
And then each value owing to change above-mentioned L1~L4 in real time according to air conditioner load can make air-conditioning not descend significantly, guarantee that the regulated quantity of engine load is wide, can make engine 10 avoid overload condition more effectively.
More than one embodiment of the present invention is illustrated, but the invention is not restricted to this.For example, be not limited to represent in the above-described embodiment, respectively set value and the pipe arrangement formation, can suitably change without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
For example in the present embodiment, to obtaining the whole of engine speed, fuel adjusting valve opening, throttle valve opening, judge that according to this information whether engine 10 is that the situation of overload state has been carried out illustration, but also can obtain engine speed, in the fuel adjusting valve opening, throttle valve opening any judge according to this information whether engine 10 is overload state.Because this situation also judges by the virtual condition (state of a control) of engine 10 whether engine 10 is overload state, compare with judge the existing product whether engine is in overload condition indirectly according to the shaft power of compressor, can judge accurately whether engine is in overload condition.
