Description

Electric heating switch control circuit and air conditioner with same
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of electric heating control, in particular to an electric heating switch control circuit and an air conditioner with the same.
Background
The air conditioner mainly comprises a compressor forming a main loop of a refrigerant, an indoor heat exchanger, a throttling part and an outdoor heat exchanger, wherein the temperature of an indoor space where the indoor heat exchanger is located can be regulated along with the phase change of the refrigerant through the circulation flow of the refrigerant in the loop formed by the compressor, the condenser, the throttling part, the evaporator and the compressor. As in the case of the air conditioner in the heating mode, the indoor heat exchanger is a condenser that emits heat so as to raise the temperature of the indoor space. According to whether the frequency of the compressor is adjustable, the air conditioner can be divided into a variable frequency air conditioner and a fixed frequency air conditioner, wherein the variable frequency air conditioner can adjust the rotating speed by adjusting the motor frequency of the compressor, and the fixed frequency air conditioner is that the compressor is operated in a mode that the rotating speed is basically unchanged under the fixed motor frequency, so that the compressor only comprises an on state and an off state.
In order to ensure the service performance of the fixed-frequency air conditioner, the air conditioner is usually provided with electric heating, for example, an electric control switch such as a relay can be adopted to control the operation of the electric heating. Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of an electrically heated switch control circuit according to the prior art. As shown in fig. 1, the control logic of the control circuit is open loop control without feedback signal, specifically: the controller realizes the opening/closing control of the contacts of the relay K through the relay driver, so that the electric heating is in a non-working/working state when the contacts are opened/closed. Specifically: after the air conditioner is started, the control board controls the contact of the relay to be closed, and the electric heating is started to run; when the temperature of the indoor space reaches the target temperature set by a user, the control board controls the contacts of the relay to be opened, and the electric heating is stopped immediately.
However, there are problems in that: because the electric heating power is larger and is influenced by the service life of the relay, at the moment when the relay stops running, the phenomenon of contact adhesion can occur due to the abrupt change of the current of the switch contact of the relay. The contact adhesion directly leads to the disconnection failure of the electric heating relay, which is specifically shown as follows: when the temperature of the indoor space has reached the target temperature and the control board has issued a command to open the relay according to the result, the load will remain in operation since the relay is not open according to the command. Such a state, if not suspended in time, causes a problem such as an excessively high temperature of the electric heating.
Specifically, in a general case, during the electric heating operation, the indoor fan of the air conditioner is also started to operate so as to promote the heat exchange. If the electric heating is started, the indoor fan starts to operate, after the electric heating is turned off for a certain time, the self temperature of the electric heating (the temperature of the heating wire) can be reduced to a certain low value, and then the indoor fan can be stopped immediately. In the case where the electrical heating relay is stuck at the contact point, after the temperature of the indoor space has reached the target temperature, since the self temperature of the electrical heating is not lowered, but since the indoor fan has been stopped according to the instruction after the electrical heating is turned off for a certain time, this will cause a problem that the temperature of the electrical heating is excessively high.
Accordingly, there is a need in the art for a new solution to the above-mentioned problems.

Furthermore, unless explicitly stated and limited otherwise, the terms "connected," "connected," and "connected" are to be construed broadly, and may be, for example, directly connected or indirectly connected through intervening media, or may be in communication between two elements. The specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by those skilled in the art according to the specific circumstances.
The air conditioner mainly comprises a compressor forming a main loop of a refrigerant, an indoor heat exchanger, an outdoor heat exchanger, a throttling component (such as a capillary tube, an electronic expansion valve and the like) and a four-way valve, wherein the communication mode of the four-way valve is switched, so that the air conditioner has a conventional refrigerating mode and a heating mode, and cold/heat can be emitted to the surface of the indoor heat exchanger along with the phase change of the refrigerant through the circulation flow of the refrigerant in the loop formed by the compressor, the condenser, the throttling component, the evaporator and the compressor. Specifically: when the refrigerant circularly flows along the loop of the compressor, the indoor heat exchanger, the outdoor heat exchanger and the compressor, the air conditioning system is in heating circulation. Namely: in the case of an air conditioning system in a heating mode, the indoor heat exchanger serves as a condenser for emitting heat; and when the refrigerant circularly flows along the loop of the compressor, the outdoor heat exchanger, the indoor heat exchanger and the compressor, the air conditioning system is in refrigeration cycle. Namely: in the case where the air conditioning system is in a cooling mode, the indoor heat exchanger serves as an evaporator that emits cooling energy.
An air conditioner generally includes an outdoor portion and an indoor portion, which are integrated in the same housing for some models (e.g., window units, etc.). For most models, the outdoor part and the indoor part are of split type, wherein the outdoor part is called an air conditioner outdoor unit, the indoor part is called an air conditioner indoor unit, and the outdoor part and the indoor part are connected through a pipeline.
Split-type air conditioners generally include cabinet type air conditioners, hanging air conditioners, embedded air conditioners, and the like. Taking a wall-mounted machine as an example, the back of a shell of an indoor unit of an air conditioner is usually fixedly arranged on a wall of an indoor space, an air supply opening and an air return opening (such as bottom air supply and bottom air return) are formed in the shell, an indoor heat exchanger, an indoor fan, a water receiving disc, an electric cabinet and the like are mainly arranged in the shell, the air conditioner is in the refrigerating/heating cycle process, under the action of the indoor fan, part of air in the indoor space is pumped into the shell through the air return opening, after heat exchange is carried out with the surface of the indoor heat exchanger, the temperature of the part of air is reduced/increased, and then the part of air with reduced temperature is sent into the indoor space again through the air supply opening, so that the cooling capacity/heat generated by the phase change of a refrigerant and the circulating flow can be gradually released to the indoor space. The surface of the condenser may generate condensed water while radiating heat to the indoor space. In order to ensure the sustainability of the cooling, it is necessary to drain the condensed water to the outdoor side in time. Correspondingly, be provided with the water collector below indoor heat exchanger, the comdenstion water that the water collector mainly used produced on indoor heat exchanger surface is provided with the drainage joint who docks with the water collector on the casing of air conditioner indoor set generally, and the drainage joint disposes the drain pipe, and the upstream side and the drainage joint of drain pipe match and link to each other, and the outdoor side can be stretched out to the downstream side to the comdenstion water that will collect the water collector through the drain pipe in time discharges the outdoor side, thereby has guaranteed the operation sustainability of air conditioner.
In the case that the air conditioner is a fixed-frequency air conditioner, in order to better realize the heating performance of the air conditioner, an electric heating device is generally configured for the indoor air conditioner, for example, the electric heating device can be used for improving the user experience in the initial operation period of the air conditioner and when the heating requirement intensity is high.
The invention provides an electric heating start control circuit which is used for ensuring the service performance of electric heating arranged in a fixed-frequency air conditioner. The electric heating starting control circuit mainly comprises a switch group, an enabling circuit, a detection circuit and a judging circuit, wherein the switch group comprises a first electric control switch and a first electric control switch, the first electric control switch is a relay (respectively recorded as K1 and K2), K1 is arranged between the starting control circuit and electric heating, K2 is arranged between an external power supply and the control circuit, and the working principle of the electric heating starting control circuit is as follows:
the controller (MCU) sends a signal to turn it on or off to K1 through the driving circuit. The judgment circuit can send a signal to turn it on or off to K2. The driving circuit may be implemented by an alternative driving chip or the like, as in the present embodiment, a driving chip (denoted as chip IC 1) of model ULN2003, hereinafter referred to as a relay driver. The enabling state of the judging circuit is controlled by the enabling circuit, specifically, such control logic is executed only in the case where the controller issues a signal to turn off K1: the detection circuit detects a CURRENT signal (HEAT-CURRENT) of the electric Heating (HEAT) and converts the CURRENT signal into a voltage signal, and the judgment circuit compares the voltage signal with a reference voltage and sends a signal for turning off K2 under the condition that the voltage signal is higher than the reference voltage. Namely: the enabling circuit can be turned on only when the electric heating operation state is abnormal closing caused by contact adhesion (the enabling circuit is a switching function, so the enabling circuit can be called as an enabling switch), and at this time, the judging circuit can disconnect K2 based on the detection result of the detecting circuit, so that the external power supply and the electric heating power are disconnected. Specifically:
1) Closed control to put the electric heating in operation:
the controller sends a signal for instructing the relay driver to close to K1 (the relay driver outputs a low level), and based on this, the determination circuit is disabled by sending an enable control to the enable circuit. Since the judgment circuit does not operate, it is not given whether the voltage exceeds the reference voltage according to the electric current of the electric heater detected by the detection circuit and therefore an instruction to open the second relay is issued, in which case the power connection of the power supply to the electric heater start control circuit is maintained, and the first relay can be normally closed based on the low level, and the electric heater is thus normally brought into an operating state.
2) Off control to put the electric heating in the non-operation state:
the controller sends a signal for instructing the switching off thereof (relay driver outputs a high level) to K1 through the relay driver, and at the same time, based on this, causes the determination circuit to operate by sending an enable control to the enable circuit. At this time:
21 If the electric heating continues to operate, the voltage derived from the current detected by the detection circuit exceeds the reference voltage. The judgment circuit can disconnect K2 according to the result, namely, the electric connection between the external power supply and the electric heating start control circuit is disconnected. Such control logic is designed because: in this case, the electrical heating is in an operating state due to contact adhesion, and this abnormal operating state can be stopped by disconnecting the power supply from the electrical heating start control circuit.
22 If the electric heating is not operated, the voltage derived from the current detected by the detection circuit does not exceed the reference voltage. The judging circuit can enable K2 to be continuously closed and conducted according to the result, namely, electric power connection between an external power supply and electric heating is kept. Such control logic is designed because: in this case, the electric heating has been reliably switched to the non-operating state in accordance with the off instruction of the controller, and therefore, there is no need to disconnect the electric power connection between the power source and the electric heating.
Referring to fig. 2 to 6, fig. 2 is a block diagram showing a structure of an electric heating switch control circuit of a fixed frequency air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram showing a structure of an electric heating switch control circuit of a fixed frequency air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram showing a structure of a judgment circuit in an electric heating switch control circuit of a fixed frequency air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram showing a structure of an enable circuit in an electric heating switch control circuit of a fixed frequency air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 6 is a schematic diagram showing a detection circuit in an electric heating switch control circuit of a fixed frequency air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. Next, the electric heating start control device of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 2 to 6. The electric heating start control device mainly comprises:
1. switching circuit (see fig. 2 and 3):
the switching circuit comprises K1 (electric heating relay) serving as a first electric control switch and K2 (power relay) serving as a second electric control switch, wherein a first end of the K1 is connected with electric heating, a second end of the K1 is connected with a first end of the K2, and a second end of the K2 is connected with an external power supply.
The controller sends a signal to the control terminal of K1 through the relay driver, thereby switching the on/off state of K1.
2) In the case where the enable circuit is turned on, a signal is sent to the control terminal of K2 by the judgment circuit, thereby switching the on/off state of K2. Specifically: k2 is switched to a closed state when the movable contact 5 is switched to, and under the condition that both K1 and K2 are closed, the power supply is connected with electric heating power; k2 is switched to the movable contact 4 in an open state, and at this time, the power supply is disconnected from the electric power for electric heating, regardless of whether K1 is closed.
2. Judgment circuit (refer to fig. 2 to 4):
the judging circuit is mainly used for comparing the voltage signal input by the detecting circuit with the reference voltage and controlling the switching state of K2 according to the comparison result.
The judging circuit mainly comprises a resistor R7 serving as a first resistor, a resistor R10 serving as a second resistor and a signal comparator, and the specific circuit is connected with the following components: the first end of the resistor R7 is connected with the positive electrode of the power supply, the second end of the resistor R7 is connected with the first end of the resistor R10, the first end of the resistor R10 is also connected with the positive input end of the signal comparator, the second end of the resistor R10 is connected with the analog ground, the first end and the second end of the resistor R9 are respectively connected with the negative input end of the signal comparator and the output end (the first pole of the capacitor C2), the first pole of the capacitor C3 is respectively connected with the negative input end of the signal comparator and the first end of the resistor R9, the second pole of the capacitor C3 is connected with the analog ground, the first end and the second end of the resistor R5 are respectively connected with the positive electrode of the power supply and the output end of the signal comparator, the output end of the signal comparator is directly connected with the control end of the K2, and the signal comparator is also connected with the output end (the collector of the triode P1) of the judging circuit so that under the condition that the enabling circuit is conducted, the signal comparator is electrified.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the signal comparator is a chip (denoted as chip IC 2) with model LM293DR, and further referring to fig. 4, the chip IC2 includes two signal comparators, wherein one of the signal comparators (signal comparator on the left) has its positive input terminal grounded and its negative input terminal connected to the output terminal so as to be a standby signal comparator, and the other signal comparator (signal comparator on the right) is a signal comparator in the judging circuit in the electric heating signal control circuit of the present invention.
Based on such a circuit structure, the principle that the judging circuit realizes the judging control function is as follows: after the controller sends out the instruction (K1 is disconnected) for turning off the electric heating, the enabling circuit is turned on, and the power supply can be output to the signal comparator under the condition that the enabling circuit is turned on. That is, after the K1 is turned off, the signal comparator is powered on, the judging circuit starts to work, and the judging circuit can control the on-off of the K2 according to the detection result of the detecting circuit. Specifically, the resistor R7 and the resistor R10 of the judgment circuit are used to provide a reference voltage for determining whether to turn off K2, specifically: r7 and R10 form a voltage dividing circuit, and a reference voltage Vref is determined, specifically: vref=r10/(r7+r10) ×vcc. The signal comparator compares the voltage signal input by the detection circuit with the reference voltage, and determines whether to send a signal for disconnecting K2 to the control terminal of K2 according to the comparison result, specifically:
when the voltage signal input by the detection circuit is higher than the reference voltage, the output end of the signal comparator sends a signal for disconnecting K2 to the control end of K2, so that the power connection between the power supply and the electric heating signal control circuit is cut off, and the electric heating caused by contact adhesion is prevented from continuously working;
when the voltage signal input by the detection circuit is not higher than the reference voltage, the output end of the signal comparator sends a signal for enabling the K2 to be continuously attracted to the control end of the K2, so that under the condition of no contact adhesion, the electric connection between the power supply and the electric heating signal control circuit is maintained after the electric heating stops working.
Note that, the ABLE (enable signal) output in fig. 3 and 4 is not a separate signal, but should be understood as: after K1 is disconnected, the enabling circuit is conducted, and the signal comparator can obtain electricity.
3. Enable circuit (see fig. 2, 3 and 5):
the enabling circuit is used for enabling the enabling circuit to be conducted or not conducted according to the switching state of K1. In the case that the enabling circuit is turned on, the judging circuit is powered on to be in an operating state. The enabling circuit mainly includes a diode D1 as a first diode, a first triode (in this embodiment, the first triode is an NPN triode N1) and a second triode (in this embodiment, the second triode is a PNP triode P1), and the specific circuit structure is: the positive pole of diode D1 is connected with triode N1's base, diode D1's positive pole still is connected with the positive pole of power through resistance R2, resistance R11's first end is connected with triode N1's base, resistance R11's second end ground connection, diode D1's negative pole is connected respectively with controller and K1's control end, triode N1's projecting pole ground connection, triode N1's collecting electrode is connected with triode P1's base through resistance R8, triode P1's projecting pole is connected with the positive pole of power, resistance R1's first end is connected with the positive pole of power, resistance R1's second end is connected with triode P1's base, triode P1's collecting electrode is connected with ABLE, ABLE is used for initiatively supplying power to the signal comparator of judgement module under the condition that enables the circuit switch on, thereby make judgement circuit can judge whether break off K2 according to detection result of detection circuit.
Based on such a circuit structure, the principle of enabling the circuit to realize the enabling control function is as follows:
when the controller sends a signal for enabling the electric heating operation (enabling K1 to be closed), a low-voltage signal is output by the pin 3 of the relay driver, the anode of the diode D1 is connected with the positive electrode of the power supply, the cathode of the diode D1 is connected to the pin 3 and grounded, and therefore the diode D1 is conducted. In this way, the diode D1 pulls down the base voltage of the transistor N1, thereby turning off the transistor N1. On the premise that the triode N1 is in an off state, the triode P1 is also necessarily in an off state, the enabling circuit cannot be turned on, and the enabling signal cannot be output. That is, the judging circuit is in a non-working state, the signal comparator does not work, and a signal for disconnecting K2 is output at the output end of the signal comparator in the normal working process of electric heating.
When the controller sends out a signal for stopping the electric heating (switching K1 on/off), the pin 3 of the relay driver outputs a high-resistance signal, and the control end of the first relay is connected to the positive electrode of the power supply, so that the pin 3 of the relay driver presents a high-level signal, the cathode of the diode D1 is connected with the positive electrode of the power supply, the cathode of the diode D1 is connected to the pin 3 and grounded, and the anode of the diode D1 is connected with the positive electrode of the power supply through the resistor R2, so that the diode D1 is reversely cut off, and the conduction of the first triode is ensured through the reverse cut-off of the diode D1. Specifically, since the base electrode of the triode N1 is connected with the positive electrode of the power supply and the base voltage of the triode N1 is not pulled down, the triode N1 is in a conducting state, and on the premise that the triode N1 is in a conducting state, since the emitter electrode of the triode P1 is connected with the positive electrode of the power supply and the base electrode is connected with the collector electrode of the triode N1, the triode P1 is conducted, the enabling circuit is conducted, and an enabling signal is output to the judging circuit. That is, the judgment circuit is put into an operation state at this time, and the signal comparator is operated, so that a signal indicating whether or not K2 is to be turned off can be output from the output terminal of the signal comparator based on the detection result of the detection circuit.
Preferably, the enabling circuit further comprises a diode D4 as a second diode and a diode D7 as a third diode, and the specific circuit connection is as follows: the anode of the diode D4 is connected with the anode of the diode D1, the cathode of the diode D4 is connected with the anode of the diode D7, and the cathode of the diode D7 is connected with the base of the triode N1. Based on this circuit configuration, when K1 is normally turned on, since diode D1 is turned on, pin 3 of chip IC1 outputs a low level, the voltage is about 0.7V, and the voltage drop of diode D1 is about 0.7V, so the voltage of the anode of diode D1 is about 1.4V. At this time, if the diode D4 and the diode D7 are not provided, the transistor N1 may have a base turned on, that is, may have a possibility that the enable circuit is disabled (the external power supply is turned off in the state of the electric heating operation). In the case of switching in the diode D4 and the diode D7, since the voltage for turning on both diodes is also about 1.4V, there is no such case: the base conduction of transistor N1 occurs under normal conduction of K1. Thus, the diode D4 and the diode D7 play a role of clamp protection.
4. Detection circuit (see fig. 2, 3, and 6):
the detection circuit is used for detecting the electric heating current and converting the electric heating current into a voltage signal to be transmitted to the judging module. The detection circuit mainly includes a current transformer CT1, a dc filter (in this embodiment, the dc filter is an electrolytic capacitor E1) and a rectifier (in this embodiment, the rectifier is a full bridge rectifier BD 1), and the specific circuit structure is as follows: the primary winding side of the current transformer CT1 is used for detecting the first current (large current) of electric heating and converting the first current into the second current (small current) at the secondary winding side of the current transformer CT1, the secondary winding side of the current transformer CT1 is connected with the ac side of the full-bridge rectifier BD1, the positive pole and the negative pole of the dc side of the rectifier BD1 are respectively connected with the negative pole and the positive pole of a dc filter (in this embodiment, the dc filter is an electrolytic capacitor E1), and the second current is rectified by the full-bridge rectifier BD1 and filtered by the electrolytic capacitor E1 in sequence and then outputs a voltage signal corresponding to the detected first current to the judging module.
In this way, when the electric heating is continued due to contact adhesion, after the current transformer CT1 detects the electric heating current (ac), a voltage signal corresponding to the current is transmitted to the determination circuit.
Preferably, the detection circuit further includes a resistor VR1 (adjustable resistor) as a third resistor and a resistor R6 as a fourth resistor, and the specific circuit is connected as follows: the first end of the resistor R6 is connected with the positive pole of the direct current side of the rectifier BD1, the second end of the resistor R6 is connected with the first end of the resistor VR1, the second end of the resistor VR1 is grounded, the third end of the resistor VR1 is connected with the negative pole of the electrolytic capacitor E1, the first end and the second end of the resistor R4 are respectively connected with the positive pole of the electrolytic capacitor E1 and the negative pole of the direct current side of the rectifier BD1, the negative pole of the electrolytic capacitor E1 is grounded, the anode of the diode D2 is connected with the positive pole of the electrolytic capacitor E1, the cathode of the diode D2 is connected with the positive pole of a power supply, the first end of the resistor R3 is respectively connected with the first end of the capacitor C2 and the second end of the judging circuit R9, the second end of the resistor R3 is respectively connected with the positive pole of the electrolytic capacitor E1, the first end of the resistor R4 and the anode of the diode D2, and the second end of the capacitor C2 is grounded.
The second current output by the secondary winding side of the current transformer is converted into a voltage signal through a resistor VR1 and a resistor R6 and then transmitted to the judging circuit. By adjusting the resistance of the resistor VR1 (the resistance between the first end and the second end of the resistor VR 1), the output voltage signal can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the accuracy of the detected current. Specifically, when the resistance of the resistor VR1 is small, the detection is sensitive and accurate, whereas when the resistance of the resistor VR1 is large, the detection sensitivity is low and the accuracy is low.
It can be seen that the electric heating switch control circuit is in a non-enabling state in the electric heating starting process through the intervention of the enabling circuit, and the judging circuit does not participate in the screening of whether the electric heating switch control circuit is normal or not at the moment, so that the judging circuit does not interfere with the starting mechanism of the electric heating, and the electric heating can be started normally. The enabling circuit is in an enabling state when the electric heating stops working, at the moment, the judging circuit participates in screening whether the K1 is normally opened or not, and under the condition that the opening is abnormal due to the adhesion of a switch contact of the K1, the judging circuit cuts off the power connection between an external power supply and the electric heating in a mode of cutting off the K2, so that the phenomenon that the electric heating temperature is too high when the K1 is abnormally cut off is avoided.
Thus far, the technical solution of the present invention has been described in connection with one embodiment shown in the drawings, but it is easily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to these specific embodiments. Equivalent modifications and substitutions for related technical features may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such modifications and substitutions will fall within the scope of the present invention.
