The invention effect
Below the operating state of the motor of refrigerator drive unit of the 1st aspect is described.
Cold-producing medium is sent into cooler, refrigerated cooler with the rotation of motor drives compressor.At this moment, open as refrigerator doors and to put food into, then temperature rises in the refrigerator.Temperature one rises in the refrigerator, and the cooler environment temperature cold-producing medium evaporation capacity that flows in the cooler that also rises increases.Thereby load increases for compressor.
On the other hand, the motor of compressor rotation is rotated with certain speed by the control of the control part of refrigerator, so the load of compressor also increases once increasing drive current.
The dq converter unit with detected drive current be transformed into the current component corresponding with magnetic flux be the d shaft current and with the q shaft current of the corresponding current component of the torque of motor.
When q shaft current input main control unit, the corresponding output speed command signal of main control unit with the rate of change of q shaft current.
Speed control unit becomes and the corresponding rotating speed of this speed command signal it according to the current rotating speed of the detected motor of rotation speed detection unit with from the speed command signal of main control unit to pwm circuit output control signal.
Pwm circuit is corresponding with this control signal supplies with pwm signal, control inverter circuit to inverter circuit.
Inverter circuit is according to the threephase stator coil output three-phase drive electric current of pwm signal to motor.
Thus, the corresponding control rate command signal of main control unit with the rate of change of q shaft current, and can control compressor rotary speed, adjust the refrigerant flow that flows in the freeze cycle.
Utilize above method, put into the refrigerating chamber room temperature when food and just rise, increase with this compressor load q shaft current that also rises.Increase refrigerant flow with the rate of change of q shaft current after this increases is corresponding by adjusting motor speed, make that temperature reduces in the refrigerator.Therefore, also can control the indoor temperature of cooling chamber without temperature sensor.
In the motor of refrigerator drive unit aspect the 2nd, main control unit is that timing judgement food is put in the refrigerator at the rate of change of q shaft current, and the output speed command signal makes rotating speed rise.
In the motor of refrigerator drive unit aspect the 3rd, the sufficiently cooled food temperature of food when main control unit is negative at the rate of change of q shaft current in the judgement refrigerator is low, and the output speed command signal makes rotating speed descend.
In the motor of refrigerator drive unit aspect the 4th, thus the main control unit utilization according to the q shaft current speed of cooling fan is changed and put refrigerator in the corresponding control speed of cooling fan of food.
In the motor of refrigerator drive unit aspect the 5th, main control unit is gone out to closing state time control ice making the temperature inside the box in detection.This is likely owing to when closing, food is put into the cause that refrigerator refrigerator temperature rises after door is opened again.
In the motor of refrigerator drive unit aspect the 6th, main control unit is just controlled temperature in the refrigerator through the stipulated time after detecting door closure state.Even when this point is closed after door is opened again, also be not limited to put into food.Therefore, as put food into and rise through temperature in the refrigerator after the stipulated time, as do not put into food then in the refrigerator temperature keep, so Cai through after the stipulated time temperature in the refrigerator is controlled in order to carry out above-mentioned judgement.
In the motor of refrigerator drive unit aspect the 7th, main control unit shows on display unit by obtaining instantaneous electric power according to the q shaft current, thus can to the user show instantaneous electric power.
In the motor of refrigerator drive unit aspect the 8th, by calculating rotating speed, thereby the motor drive of no sensor can be realized, cost can be saved by the detected drive current of drive current detecting unit.
In the motor of refrigerator drive unit aspect the 9th, because of detecting rotating speed, so can detect correct rotating speed according to position signalling near the position detection unit the rotor that is located at motor.
In the motor of refrigerator drive unit aspect the 10th, adopt three phase induction motor or three-phase brushless DC motor by motor, thus correct and reliably drive compression machine.
Below, the refrigerator cooling fan drive device operating state that the 11st aspect is related to describes.
Drive the cooling fan rotation with fan motor and send cold air to cooling chamber.At this moment, refrigerator doors is opened and is put into food.Make the variations in flow of cold air with the food quantity of putting into, motor load increases or reduces.The main control unit of reason refrigerator control fan motor is with certain speed rotation, thus with the corresponding drive current variations of the load of described motor.
The dq converter unit with detected drive current be transformed into the current component corresponding with magnetic flux be the d shaft current and with the corresponding current component of the torque of fan motor be the q shaft current.
When q shaft current input main control unit, main control unit and the corresponding output speed command signal of q shaft current rate of change.
Speed control unit becomes the rotating speed corresponding with this speed command signal according to the current rotating speed of the detected fan motor of rotation speed detection unit with from the speed command signal of main control unit to pwm circuit output control signal.
Pwm circuit is corresponding with this control signal supplies with pwm signal control inverter circuit to inverter circuit.
Inverter circuit is according to the threephase stator coil output three-phase drive electric current of pwm signal to fan motor.
Utilize above method, the mobile variation of cold air when food is put into cooling chamber is so increase with this load because of cooling fan q shaft current that also rises.Correspondingly with the rate of change of the q shaft current of this increase increase refrigerant flow, make that temperature reduces in the refrigerator by improving speed of cooling fan.Thereby can just control the indoor temperature of cooling chamber without temperature sensor.
In the fan of refrigerator motor drive aspect the 12nd, main control unit is in the rate of change timing of q shaft current, and judgement food is put the interior cold air flow of refrigerator into and become difficult, so the output speed command signal improves rotating speed.
In the fan of refrigerator motor drive aspect the 13rd, when main control unit is negative at the rate of change of q shaft current, judge that food reserves minimizing cold air flow becomes easily in the refrigerator, the output speed command signal makes the rotating speed reduction.
In the fan of refrigerator motor drive aspect the 14th, main control unit detects door closure state time control ice making the temperature inside the box.This is owing to food put into when closing again after door is opened probably and make in the refrigerator that temperature rises in the refrigerator.
In the refrigerator cooling fan drive device aspect the 15th, when the q shaft current of main control unit after conversion arrives setting, detect the long-pending frost on the cooler, for example, be conceived to flowing of cold air, when cooling fan is positioned at downstream one side of cooler, cold air flow variation when on the cooler long-pending frost taking place, air pressure around the cooling fan descends, and the load of fan motor descends, and the q shaft current also descends.Therefore, when being lower than setting, this q shaft current judges that long-pending frost is arranged.In addition, be conceived to flowing of cold air, when cooling fan is positioned at upstream one side of cooler, the mobile variation of cold air when on the cooler long-pending frost taking place, the ambient air pressure of cooling fan rises, and the load of fan motor is risen, and the q shaft current also rises.Thus, judge that long-pending frost is arranged in the value of this q shaft current during greater than setting.
In the refrigerator cooling fan drive device aspect the 16th, the q shaft current of main control unit after conversion rises to setting when above, or by the detected rotating speed of described rotation speed detection unit being regulation rotating speed when following, judges the cooling fan braking.Thus, can positively detect the state of cooling fan braking.
In the refrigerator cooling fan drive device aspect the 17th, main control unit when cooling fan just stops, forcing to make the cooling fan rotation when the indoor temperature of control cooling chamber.This is in carrying out as described refrigerator aspect the 1st during temperature control, if cooling fan does not just change and can not control, so cooling fan is rotated.
In the refrigerator cooling fan drive device aspect the 18th, by calculating rotating speed, thereby the cooling fan drive device of no sensor can be realized, cost can be saved according to the detected drive current of drive current detecting unit.
In the refrigerator cooling fan drive device aspect the 19th, according to detecting rotating speed, so can detect correct rotating speed from the position signalling that is located near the position detection unit the fan motor rotor.
In the refrigerator cooling fan drive device aspect the 20th, adopt three phase induction motor or three-phase brushless dc fan motor by fan motor, thereby can correctly and reliably drive cooling fan.

(4) the 1st of refrigerator temperature the kind of control method
Now in the refrigerator 10 to above-mentioned formation, the 1st kind of control method of regulating temperature in the refrigerator describes.
In the refrigerator 10 of above-mentioned formation, when food storage among refrigerating chamber 14, vegetable compartment the 16, the 1st refrigerating chamber the 18, the 2nd refrigerating chamber 20 at least one chamber the time temperature rises in the refrigerator because the thermal capacity that this food is held makes.So the air themperatures of returning by refrigerator inside in the cooler 22 rise, the amount of the cold-producing medium of cooler 22 evaporations is increased, the load that is added in freeze cycle 30 and is on the compressor 28 increases.
In this case, the rotating speed of controlling air compressor motor 3A according to the speed command signal S from refrigerator 10 main control units 2 is kept necessarily it, so the torque that is added on the air compressor motor 3A increases.
Torque one increases q shaft current Iq also along with increase.
According to said method, when because the thermal capacity held of food when making that temperature continues to rise in the refrigerator, then because of being added in the load increase on the freeze cycle 30, so q shaft current Iq also increases.
The variable quantity of this q shaft current Iq is because of proportional with the thermal capacity of putting into refrigerator food, so calculate the slope of the q shaft current Iq of dq converter unit output at main control unit 2, size according to this slope (increment of time per unit), main control unit 2 control rate command signal S, the rotating speed of controlling this air compressor motor 3A and cooling fan 24 makes its rising.
Thus, when putting food into, the rotating speed increase of corresponding air compressor motor 3A and cooling fan 24 increases the ability of freeze cycle 30, stops because the tendency that the food of putting into causes refrigerator temperature to rise makes the interior temperature of refrigerator remain on uniform temperature.
On the other hand, put food into after after a while, this food of putting into is cooled, and temperature descends in the refrigerator, the load one that promptly is added on the compressor 28 when freeze cycle 30 alleviates, q shaft current Iq also descends, so main control unit 2 calculates the slip of q shaft current Iq time per unit, corresponding output speed command signal S makes the rotating speed of air compressor motor 3A and cooling fan 24 descend.By like this, when the food temperature of putting into is low, the ability of compressor 28 also descends, and temperature can not be lower than the temperature range of regulation in the refrigerator.
(5) the 2nd kind of control method of temperature in the refrigerator
Now 2 kinds of control methods of temperature control in the refrigerator that replaces above-mentioned the 1st kind of control method are described.
In the 1st kind of control method, be that the rate of change of obtaining q shaft current Iq after temperature begins to rise in putting the food refrigerator into is controlled, and in the 2nd kind of control method, then as shown in Figure 4, be the door 14a~20a unlatching according to each cell 14~20, the moment that reaches when closing is thereafter controlled.
Be specially, when putting food into, must open in each cell 14~20 at least Yishanmen (for example refrigerating chamber 14a) and close again thereafter.Therefore, when detecting the closed condition of the 14a that gos out with door switch 14b, main control unit 2 also begins to detect the rate of change of q shaft current Iq.
And, as shown in Figure 4, in the thermal capacity of holding owing to the food of storing the temperature inside the box is risen, under the situation that q shaft current Iq also increases, main control unit 2 is obtained the slope of q shaft current Iq, with the corresponding output speed command signal of the increment of its time per unit rate of change S the rotating speed of air compressor motor 3A and cooling fan 24 is risen.
By like this, can correctly detect the moment that food is put refrigerator into, be convenient to carry out the temperature inside the box control.For example, even an on-off action is being arranged but do not put under the situation of food, because the temperature inside the box only rises slightly a bit, q shaft current Iq does not increase yet, and needn't control temperature in the refrigerator.In addition, at the big food of thermal capacity such as food of putting into heat, or during the food of typical temperature,, the temperature inside the box to implement above-mentioned control method because rising.And can correctly and reliably detect the moment of whether carrying out this control according to the signal of door switch 14b~20b.
(6) the 3rd kind of control method of temperature in the refrigerator
Below, the 3rd kind of control method of temperature in the refrigerator of refrigerator 10 is described.
Be to detect the q shaft current Iq that begins from the moment that door is closed in the 2nd kind of control method, but the 3rd kind of control method is through the q shaft current Iq behind the stipulated time t0 after detecting gate is closed.
That is, as after putting into the food of thermal capacity soon, unclear is to cause the temperature inside the box to rise owing to open the door, still because the thermal capacity of food rises the temperature inside the box.So, after main control unit 2 instrumentations are closed the door through the rate of change of the q shaft current Iq behind the stipulated time t0.
For example, as being shutter door or putting under the situation of the little food of thermal capacity, big after door is closed through its slip change after the rising in a single day of the q shaft current Iq behind the stipulated time t0.That is, after door is closed soon because the switching etc. of door influence q shaft current Iq also increases, but as shutter door or put into the little food of thermal capacity only, the slip of the q shaft current Iq after then it increases becomes greatly.When slip was big, main control unit 2 is judged did not almost have load output speed command signal S to make rotating speed be maintained, even or rotating speed to rise also be that rising is arranged slightly.
It is contemplated that on the other hand the slip through the q shaft current Iq behind the stipulated time t0 when putting the big food of thermal capacity into is little, or does not reduce on the contrary also to increase.Therefore, put the big food of loading into for judging through the occasion of little occasion of the slip of q shaft current Iq behind the stipulated time t0 and increase, output speed command signal S makes the rotating speed of air compressor motor 3A and cooling fan 24 improve.
(7) the 4th kind of control method of temperature in the refrigerator
Be to begin rate of change output speed command signal S in the 3rd kind of control method through the q shaft current Iq behind the stipulated time t0 according to moment of closing from door, but in the 4th kind of control method, be to close the back according to door to judge that after the maximum that records q shaft current Iq its slip is greatly or little.
Rate of change as the q shaft current Iq of instrumentation after recording maximum, if the slip after its maximum then is greatly the little food of thermic load or only is a switching, then judge in the less occasion of slip and to put the big food of thermic load into, can be according to the speed command signal S control air compressor motor 3A corresponding and the rotating speed of cooling fan 24 with it.
It is also contemplated that put the big food of thermic load into, when not having the value of the maximum q shaft current Iq of continuous instrumentation q shaft current Iq to increase, in this case, even when also not measuring maximum, judge that q shaft current Iq continues increase and makes air compressor motor 3A and cooling fan 24 rotations according to maximum (top) speed output speed command signal S through stipulated time t1.
(8) the 5th kind of control method of temperature in the refrigerator
The 5th kind of control method gone out the opening time according to the door switching calculated signals that door switch 14b~20b detects.Utilize q shaft current Iq detecting gate to close the back increases torque along with freeze cycle 30 loads increase again simultaneously.And, make the temperature inside the box be maintained according to the variation control compressor 28 of switching time of door and q shaft current Iq and the rotating speed of cooling fan 24.
Be specially be controlled to many more, q shaft current Iq of door time of opening increment rate more at most rotating speed also all the more improve.
(9) modification
Above-mentioned each control method adopts q shaft current Iq only temperature in the refrigerator to be controlled, in addition, main control unit 2 is connected with the liquid crystal display that the energy numeral shows, torque component according to air compressor motor 3 is that q shaft current Iq calculates the instantaneous electric power that air compressor motor 3A consumes, and shows this instantaneous electric power by liquid crystal display.

(4) the 6th kind of control method of temperature in the refrigerator
The 6th kind of control method of regulating temperature in the refrigerator in the refrigerator 10 of above-mentioned formation described.
In the refrigerator 10 of above-mentioned formation, in refrigerating chamber 14, vegetable compartment the 16, the 1st refrigerating chamber the 18, the 2nd refrigerating chamber 20, at least one chamber,, be added in the cooling fan 24 loads increase of sending cold air then because this food makes the mobile change of cold air bad as food storage.
At this moment, control according to speed command signal S and to make the rotating speed of fan motor 3B keep necessarily, so the torque that is applied on the fan motor 3B increases from refrigerator 10 main control units 2.
Torque one increases q shaft current Iq and also increases.
By above method, become bad once putting flowing of food cold air into, the load that is added on the cooling fan 24 increases, so q shaft current Iq also increases.
The variable quantity of this q shaft current Iq is because of proportional with the amount of putting into refrigerator food, so calculate the slope of the q shaft current Iq that exports by the dq converter unit at main control unit 2, corresponding with the value of this slope (increment of time per unit), main control unit 2 control rate command signal S are controlled to and make the rotating speed of fan motor 3B and air compressor motor 5B raise.
Thus, food one is put into, and the rotating speed increase of respective fans motor 3B and air compressor motor 5B increases cooling capacity therewith, stoped owing to put the trend that food causes the temperature inside the box to rise into, thereby temperature is held certain in the refrigerator.
In addition, when food one takes out, only the food of this part taking-up makes the load reduction on the mobile cooling fan 24 that is improved of cold air, and q shaft current Iq also just reduces.Main control unit 2 calculates the slip of q shaft current Iq time per unit, and corresponding output speed command signal S makes the rotating speed of fan motor 3B and air compressor motor 5B descend.By like this, when taking out food, the ability of cooling fan 24 also descends, and temperature can not be lower than the set point of temperature scope in the refrigerator.

The 6th kind of control method is to put into the rate of change of obtaining q shaft current Iq after the temperature inside the box begins to rise from food to control, and the 7th kind of control method is as shown in Figure 4, opens the door 14a~20a of each chamber 14~20, according to after moment when closing control.
Be specially, when putting food into, open the door (for example refrigerating chamber 14a) of at least one chamber in each chamber 14~20, close again afterwards.Therefore, when detecting the closed condition of the 14a that gos out with door switch 14b, main control unit 2 begins to detect the rate of change of q shaft current Iq.
Utilize this detection, can detect the moment that food is put into exactly, control temperature in the refrigerator easily.For example, even had unlatching but not put under the situation of food,,, q shaft current Iq needn't not control temperature in the refrigerator so also not increasing because flowing of cold air do not change at door.In addition, when putting a large amount of food into, will adopt above-mentioned control method because of the mobility status change of cold air is bad.And, utilize the signal of door switch 14b~20b can correctly and reliably detect the moment of carrying out this control and the moment of not carrying out this control.
(6) about the explanation of defrosting control method
When the q shaft current of main control unit 2 after conversion arrives predetermined setting (hereinafter referred to as long-pending white reference current value), detect the long-pending frost on the cooler 22.
As mentioned above, as be conceived to flowing of cold air, because cooling fan 24 is in the downstream of cooler 22, the mobility status of cold air becomes bad when on the cooler 22 long-pending frost taking place, air pressure around the cooling fan 24 descends, and the fan motor 3B easy rotary load that becomes alleviates, and the q shaft current also descends.Thereby, when being lower than long-pending white reference current value, the value of this q shaft current judges that long-pending frost is arranged, begin defrosting control
Moreover refrigerator 10 its cooling fans 24 of this example are positioned at the downstream of cooler 22, but are conceived to flowing of cold air, and cooling fan 24 is positioned at the upstream side of cooler sometimes.
In this case, the mobility status that on the cooler in a single day long-pending white cold air is arranged is with regard to variation, and the air pressure around the cooling fan 24 raises, and the load of fan motor 3B increases, and the q shaft current also rises.Therefore, as shown in Figure 8, judge that long-pending frost is arranged when the value specific volume frost reference current value of according to the rules rotating speed q shaft current is big, control defrosts.
(7) the braking detection method of fan motor 3B
The braking detection method of fan motor 3B below is described.
When the q shaft current of main control unit 2 after conversion rises to predetermined setting, or become regulation rotating speed (for example rotating speed be zero) when following by speed detection unit 54 detected rotating speeds, judgement cooling fan 24 is braked.Thus, can positively detect the on-position of cooling fan 24.
(8) other
When carrying out above-mentioned various control such as cooling fan 24 stop, because of detecting the q shaft current, institute is so that cooling fan 24 is forced rotation.
