And microcomputer 29 is managed via communicating by letter between indoor and outdoor telecommunication circuit 42 and off-premises station 3, and be all together and control indoor set 2.
Then utilize Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8 that power circuit 24 is described.Fig. 5 is the figure that represents the system architecture example of power circuit 24.Fig. 6 is the figure that represents other examples of the system architecture example of power circuit 24.Fig. 7 is the flow chart that explanation power supply is supplied with the work (transfer from normal mode to low-speed mode) of cutting off switch.Fig. 8 is the flow chart that explanation power supply is supplied with the work (transfer from low-speed mode to normal mode) of cutting off switch.
In Fig. 5, in power circuit 24, by socket 43 is connected with attaching plug 44, supply with alternating electromotive force through power line 45 from business electricity consumption source 50.In addition, power circuit 24 comprises: for transport the power relay 46 from the electric power of business power supply 50 to off-premises station 3; To reduce noise as object cross-line capacitor (across-the-line capacitor) is (hereinafter referred to as " X capacitor ".) 47a; Common mode choke coil (common mode choke coil) 48.But also comprise the discharge resistance 49a discharging to being stored in the electric charge of X capacitor 47a for after dump.
As described above, in the present embodiment, in order to be reduced in the noise of propagating in the circuit of power supply 50, flowing out for business, and at two interpolars of alternating current circuit, X capacitor 47a is set.In air conditioner 1, except being located at the electric motor for compressor (not shown) of off-premises station 3, outdoor fan motor (not shown), indoor fan motor 26 are also in frequency conversion drive mode as main flow.In the case of the motor of frequency conversion drive, the carrier frequency of thyristor in the time of switch is taking several kHz~tens of kHz as main flow, and the noise of the higher hamonic wave of generation carrier frequency flows out such problem to business with the circuit of power supply 50.Therefore,, in order to reduce noise, pattern of wants filter circuit etc. is tackled.Particularly, as the effective ways of the method that suppresses the noise contribution that frequency ratio below 1MHz is lower be: the static capacity that increases X capacitor 47a.
But the static capacity that increases X capacitor 47a means that the electric charge that is stored in X capacitor 47a increases., in the time that being extracted from socket 43, attaching plug 44 produces the large such problem of residual voltage change of inserting sword two interpolars.Not get an electric shock in order touching user to insert when sword two interpolar, this residual voltage to be reduced to below predetermined voltage in need to be during the scheduled time.Therefore,, for the electric charge storing is discharged, the discharge resistance 49a being connected side by side with X capacitor 47a is set conventionally.But this discharge resistance 49a flows and has electric current all the time during power supply energising, in the time of holding state, also continue the such problem of power consumption even if therefore exist.Therefore,, in order to reduce power consumption, need to make discharge resistance 49a there is high as far as possible resistance value.
But, as described above, within need to be during the scheduled time, residual voltage be reduced to below predetermined voltage, therefore discharge resistance 49a is necessary for below the resistance value being determined by the time constant between the static capacity of itself and X capacitor 47a.Therefore, can not merely increase resistance value, in order to increase the resistance value of discharge resistance 49a, the static capacity that must dwindle X capacitor 47a.
But, because the motor of frequency conversion drive above-mentioned in holding state is not worked, so noise intensity is low, even and the static capacity of dwindling X capacitor 47a also there will not be problem, but carry out in the operation process of work at the motor of frequency conversion drive, noise intensity uprises, and therefore can not merely dwindle the static capacity of X capacitor 47a.Therefore,, in order to address this problem, at the back segment of power relay 46 (across power relay 46 in off-premises station 3 sides), X capacitor 47b and discharge resistance 49b are set.Thus, while freezing, heat, dehumidify at air conditioner 1 running work such, connect at power relay 46, under indoor set 2 and off-premises station 3 turns round, noise intensity is high state, because X capacitor 47a is connected with X capacitor 47b, therefore can guarantee enough static capacities.In addition, under the holding state in the time that the running of the state low as noise intensity stops, by rupturing duty relay 46, and only there is the static capacity of X capacitor 47a, therefore can increase the resistance value of discharge resistance 49a.Therefore, the power consumption can not damage noiseproof feature and reduce holding state time, and can also prevent the caused electric shock of residual voltage by slotting sword two interpolars of attaching plug 44.Wherein, in Fig. 5, be equipped on the example on the same substrate of off-premises station 3 sides across power relay 46 exemplified with X capacitor 47b and discharge resistance 49b, but the not restriction independently lift-launch of substrate towards each other, to method for loading such as the connections of terminal board 67.
In addition, in the case of the so only indoor set 2 of air blast running turns round, due to the rotating speed of indoor blower 11, noise intensity is sometimes also higher, therefore adopts following structure, although off-premises station 3 does not turn round, also makes power relay 46 connect.
In addition, power circuit 24 comprises: rectification circuit 53, and it is made up of diode bridge (diode bridge) 51 and smmothing capacitor 52, for converting DC voltage with the electric power of power supply 50 to from alternating voltage from business; Switching power circuit 56, it is made up of Switching Power Supply IC54 and switch transformer (switchingtransformer) 55; Adjuster 57 and adjuster 58 for sub-control power supply for main control power supply, it is located at the secondary side of switch transformer 55.
Switching power circuit 56 becomes 18.5V power supply 59,12V power supply 60, the so many export structures of 8.5V power supply 61 by the switch transformer 55 being made up of the coiling after cutting apart.In addition, 8.5V power supply 61 is connected with adjuster 57 and sub-control power supply adjuster 58 with main control power supply, and is split into the 3.3V power supply 63 that 5.3V power supply 62 that voltage reduced by main control power supply adjuster 57 and voltage have been reduced by sub-control power supply adjuster 58.
In addition, there is power supply at 18.5V power supply 59,12V power supply 60 and main control power supply with the leading portion of adjuster 57 and supply with cut-out switch (64a, 64b, 64c), do not need in the case of becoming the whole load being connected with each power supply the condition of supply of power supply, in the case of meeting the condition that becomes holding state, by being supplied with, each power supply cuts off switch (64a, 64b, 64c) disconnection, cut off to the power supply of each load and supply with, and become the structure that suppresses unwanted power consumption.Wherein, supply with and cut off switch (64a, 64b, 64c) for power supply, as long as utilize relay (relay), transistor, MOS-FET just can form, but owing to utilizing relay and transistorized situation need to be used for the drive current of turn on-switch, therefore in the present embodiment, use the MOS-FET of demand motive electric current hardly, and become the structure of the power consumption can reduce work time.
In addition, the in the situation that of in the time that power supply is supplied with cut-out switch (64a, 64b, 64c) disconnection and is seen as underload from switching power circuit 56, control such intermittence by carrying out the switch of shutdown switch power supply IC54 partly, reduce the on-off times of time per unit, reduce the summation of the switching losses of time per unit, and become the structure that reduces power consumption.
In addition, the outlet side of adjuster 57 for main control power supply, 5.3V power supply 62 is with the outlet side of adjuster 58 for sub-control power supply, 3.3V power supply 63 utilizes diode or to connect, in the situation that power supply is supplied with cut-out switch 64c connection, supply with electric power from the main control power supply that output voltage is higher with adjuster 57, in the situation that power supply is supplied with cut-out switch 64c disconnection, supply with electric power from sub-control power supply with adjuster 58.
In addition, each adverse current prevents that diode (65a, 65b) from utilizing VF for the few Schottky diode of the such pressure drop of 0.3V (Schottky diode).Therefore, each adverse current prevents that the voltage of the cathode side of diode (65a, 65b) from being 5V in the situation that power supply is supplied with cut-out switch 64c connection, in the situation that switch 64c disconnection is cut off in power supply supply, is 3V.The switching that power supply is supplied with the on/off of cutting off switch 64c judges whether to meet predetermined condition by utilizing microcomputer 29 to carry out calculation process as shown in Figure 7, Figure 8 like that, determines whether carrying out.
In addition, microcomputer 29, the arithmetic processing section 68 that comprises master clock oscillating circuit 32 and secondary clock oscillation circuit 33, the signal receiving part 8 that comprises infrared ray photo detector 19, emergency operation switch 66, detect from the running instruction of said external and transfer to the needed MIN circuit of operating condition and load and be connected to each adverse current and prevent the cathode side of diode (65a, 65b) from holding state; The adverse current that when holding states such as EEPROM31, display part 20, indoor and outdoor telecommunication circuit 42, unwanted circuit and load are connected to main control power supply adjuster 57 sides prevents the anode-side of diode 65a.
In addition, microcomputer 29 and infrared ray photo detector 19 use the element that minimum operating voltage is 5V for 2.7V, common operating voltage.Therefore, owing to only supplying with electric power to the circuit limiting and load when the holding state, so can reduce power consumption, and the supply voltage that makes arithmetic processing section 68, signal receiving part 8 is reduced to 3V in the mode of linearity from 5V and drives, therefore be stable duty, and can reduce power consumption.
In addition, as described above, the two ends that when supply voltage of arithmetic processing section 68 and holding state, the supply voltage of unwanted circuit, load is connected to adverse current and prevents diode 65a in the mode of separating, therefore produce and prevent by adverse current the corresponding potential difference of pressure drop that diode 65a causes.But as described above, adverse current prevents that diode 65a from utilizing the Schottky diode that pressure drop is few, can suppress thus for the potential difference in the maximum rated voltage of microcomputer 29.
In addition, as described above, supplying with adjuster 58 electric power coming from sub-control power supply is the electric power of only supplying with to the load limiting when the holding state,, compared with main control power supply is supplied with adjuster 57 in the running electric power, is therefore considerably less electric weight.That is, the electric weight that sub-control power supply is supplied with adjuster 58 is few, and therefore it can utilize the adjuster that output current supply capacity is lower.Generally speaking, adjuster needs more driving electric power in the situation that load current is many in order to ensure electric current amplification factor.In addition, in the time that design aspect is also considered maximum load, and design like this, the trend that therefore exists circuit efficiency to reduce in the time of low load, in the time of low load, with respect to output current, the ratio of drive current is higher.On the other hand, for the lower adjuster of output current supply capacity, element, in the underloaded situation such as load small-sized and that limit when the holding state, can use near the best efficiency point of adjuster.Therefore, by making sub-control power supply adjuster 58 for the lower adjuster of output current supply capacity, the power consumption can further be reduced in holding state time.
Wherein, as described above, in the present embodiment, adopt the structure of utilizing diode or to carry out division driving power supply, as other mode, also considered following.
As shown in Figure 6, for the mode of fully cutting apart power supply as follows, that is: microcomputer 29, comprise the signal receiving part 8 of infrared ray photo detector 19, the MIN limited circuit that emergency operation switch 66 grades also need in the time of holding state, the electric power of load is all the time from being supplied with the reduction voltage circuit that adjuster 58 forms by sub-control power supply, for EEPROM31 (read-write exterior storage medium), inlet temperature thermistor 34, heat exchanger temperature-sensitive resistance 35, humidity sensor 36, indoor and outdoor telecommunication circuit 42, the member that the current potential below 29 drives with the current potential identical with microcomputer 29 or microcomputer such as display part 20 grades does not need alive circuit in the time of holding state, load, supply with electric power from the reduction voltage circuit being formed with adjuster 57 by main control power supply.
In the manner, with respect to above-mentioned diode or mode, although microcomputer 29, comprise the signal receiving part 8 of infrared ray photo detector 19, emergency operation switch 66 grades shift needed MIN circuit to operating condition, the supply voltage of load cannot switch to low-voltage in the time of holding state, but by by the power loss reduced amounts causing that diminishes of the difference between input voltage (8.5V) and the output voltage (5V) of adjuster 58 for sub-control power supply, do not prevent diode (65a by adverse current, the amount of loss 65b) causing, can there is no the larger circuit structure of simplifying by the power consumption aspect of performance in the time of holding state deterioratedly.
In addition, in this structure, sub-control power supply is also the structure to limited load supply powers such as microcomputers 29 only with adjuster 58, therefore can utilize the lower adjuster of output current supply capacity that can drive with high efficiency in the time of low current, the power consumption while being reduced in holding state.
In addition, the situation that uses adjuster in reduction voltage circuit has been described in the present embodiment, but reduction voltage circuit is the circuit mode such as limit switch adjuster, drop-away voltage adjuster (dropper regulator), DC/DC converter not, as long as suitably select according to cost, installing space, circuit efficiency.
Then the action case while, utilizing Fig. 9, Figure 10, Figure 11, Figure 12 that normal mode, low-speed mode are described.The sequential chart of action case when Fig. 9 is the carrier signal reception while representing normal mode, low-speed mode.Figure 10 is the sequential chart of the recovery action case to normal mode while representing low-speed mode.Figure 11 is the sequential chart of the action case while representing noise reception.Figure 12 is other routine sequential charts of the recovery action case to normal mode while representing low-speed mode.
In addition, in this structure, in the oscillating circuit using at the work clock of microcomputer 29, be provided with master clock oscillating circuit 32, the such two kinds of different oscillating circuits of clock frequency of secondary clock oscillation circuit 33.In the time that air conditioner 1 turns round, each load is communicated by letter, controlled to microcomputer 29 in order to carry out between off-premises station 3, needs calculation process at a high speed, and work clock must be also correspondingly high clock frequency.But the electric power that the such situation of raising clock frequency can exist microcomputer 29 to consume uprises such problem.Therefore, in order to reduce this power consumption, calculation process in high speed as operation process is in requisite situation, so that carry out work with the normal mode of the high master clock oscillating circuit 32 of clock frequency, in the time not needing to carry out the holding state of calculation process at a high speed, utilize the secondary clock oscillation circuit 33 that clock frequency is low to switch to low-speed mode, and become the structure that reduces the power consumption of microcomputer 29 in the time of holding state.
In addition, in the past, the detection of the carrier signal of input infrared ray photo detector 19, the detection of the signal of inputting by emergency operation switch 66, the calculation process that other are relevant with control etc. are due to the relation of cpu load rate, also there is limit even if reduce clock frequency, particularly read the detection that also needs to carry out Hi or Lo from the carrier signal of remote controller 7, bit is 0 or 1 calculation process, the preservation of bit information, form 8 than top grade signal code, and need to carry out and be stored in the many calculation process such as relatively between the code of arithmetic unit, at least need the clock frequency of several MHz.But, as described above, improve work clock and can cause power consumption to increase, so the oscillator that in the secondary clock oscillation circuit 33 of this structure, frequency of utilization is 32.768kHz lower than the frequency of the 38kHz of the carrier frequency as infrared signal.Therefore, can reduce power consumption, but as shown in Figure 9, be accompanied by the reduction of clock frequency, the sampling period is also elongated, therefore under such state, cannot read the carrier signal from remote controller 7.
Therefore, in order to solve this situation, as shown in figure 10, during more than the prearranged multiple in the sampling period of depending on clock frequency in the time of above-mentioned holding state, there is no the output signal of bit information in the beginning setting of the carrier signal from remote controller 7, and continue to send the carrier signal with bit information.Thus, under the low low-speed mode of clock frequency, None-identified has the signal of information, receives the not output signal of this bit information but can detect.Therefore, in the time detecting the output signal that receives this bit information not, again work clock is switched to master clock oscillating circuit 32, the sampling period is turned back to the cycle when common, can identify thus the carrier signal with bit information that continues to send.
As described above, can only change the carrier signal from remote controller 7, signal receiving part 8 use of also keeping intact, therefore can become cheap system architecture.
In addition, in this structure, as described above, according to the output signal that there is no bit information, return to operating condition from holding state.Therefore,, in the time receiving noise, other infrared signal, whether be the output signal that there is no bit information of sending from remote controller 7, so likely return to operating condition from holding state if cannot differentiate.Therefore, as shown in figure 11, recover from holding state, judge the carrier signal of sending be afterwards whether according to the form of juridical person's household appliances association, from the carrier signal of the paired remote controller 7 of indoor set 2, if different signals returns to the control of holding state at once.In addition, as shown in figure 12, for the signal that there is no bit information, Hi detected for 3 times for example continuously, the double Lo of detecting, recover afterwards in the combination during Hi and during Lo, can also become thus and be difficult for the structure recovered due to noise with leading to errors.
