A collector of the fourth photoelectric coupler OP4 is connected to a power VCC, and an emitter of the fourth photoelectric coupler OP4 is connected to a signal receiving terminal RXD2 of the outdoor unit; the negative electrode of the light emitting diode of the fourth photocoupler OP4 is connected with the negative electrode of the power module 100 of the air conditioner, and the positive electrode of the light emitting diode of the fourth photocoupler OP4 is connected with the emitter of the second photocoupler OP 2; the collector of the second photocoupler OP2 is connected with the current output end of the communication circuit 300; the anode of the light emitting diode of the second photocoupler OP2 is connected with a power supply VCC; the cathode of the light emitting diode of the second photocoupler OP2 is connected with the input end of a second switch tube T2; the output terminal of the second switch tube T2 is grounded, and the controlled terminal of the second switch tube T2 is connected to the signal transmitting terminal TXD2 of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. The communication circuit 300 of the present embodiment is used to realize the communication connection between the first optical coupling switch circuit 200 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner and the second optical coupling switch circuit 400 of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.
The specific working principle of the communication circuit 300 is as follows: when the air conditioner is powered on, the first controllable switch 30 is off and the second controllable switch 50 is on by default. In this case, the total resistance value of the communication circuit 300 is approximately equal to the resistance value of the loop resistor module 20, i.e. only the loop resistor module 20 of the communication circuit 300 plays a role of current limiting. Meanwhile, the current collecting circuit 70 collects the current signal flowing through the loop resistor module 20 in real time, converts the collected current signal into a voltage signal, amplifies the voltage signal, and feeds the amplified voltage signal back to the input terminal 101 of the controller 10.
The controller 10 analyzes and judges the voltage signal fed back by the current collecting circuit 70 by calling a program or a module therein to determine whether the loop current in the circuit is normal. Specifically, a first preset current is used as a lower limit value of the current range, a second preset current is used as an upper limit value of the current range, and the first preset current is smaller than the second preset current. The first preset current may be set according to a minimum current required for the turn-on of the photo-couplers in the first photo-coupler switch circuit 200 of the indoor unit and the second photo-coupler switch circuit 400 of the outdoor unit, for example, the minimum current required for the turn-on of the photo-couplers in the first photo-coupler switch circuit 200 of the indoor unit and the second photo-coupler switch circuit 400 of the outdoor unit is used as the first preset current. The second preset current can be set according to the maximum current value that each electronic component in the circuit can bear.
If the loop current in the circuit is greater than the first preset current and less than the second preset current when the first controllable switch 30 is turned off and the second controllable switch 50 is turned on, it indicates that the resistance of the loop resistance module 20 is normal, then the controller 10 controls the first controllable switch 30 to be kept in the off state, the second controllable switch 50 is kept in the on state, and the air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit are in normal communication.
If the loop current in the circuit is smaller than the first preset current when the first controllable switch 30 is turned off and the second controllable switch 50 is turned on, it indicates that the loop current is abnormally decreased due to the abnormally increased resistance of the loop resistor module 20 in the communication circuit 300. In this case, the controller 10 controls the first controllable switch 30 to switch from the off state to the on state, and controls the second controllable switch 50 to maintain the on state, so that the first resistance module 40 and the loop resistance module 20 are connected in parallel to the circuit. Since the total resistance value in the communication circuit 300 is decreased after the first resistance module 40 is connected in parallel with the loop resistance module 20, the loop current in the circuit is increased under the condition that the voltage provided by the power supply module 100 of the air conditioner is not changed, and thus, the situation that the loop current is abnormally decreased due to the abnormally increased resistance value of the loop resistance module 20, and further the photoelectric coupler in the indoor unit and the outdoor unit cannot be conducted due to the excessively small loop current can be avoided.
If the loop current in the circuit is greater than the second preset current when the first controllable switch 30 is turned off and the second controllable switch 50 is turned on, it indicates that the resistance value of the loop resistance module 20 in the communication circuit 300 is abnormally decreased, which results in an abnormally increased loop current in the circuit. In this case, the controller 10 controls the first controllable switch 30 to maintain the off state, controls the second controllable switch 50 to switch from the on state to the off state, and controls the second controllable switch 50 to be switched off, so that the second resistance module 60 and the loop resistance module 20 are connected in series to the circuit. Since the total resistance value of the communication circuit 300 is increased after the second resistor module 60 is connected in series with the loop resistor module 20, the loop current in the circuit is decreased under the condition that the voltage provided by the power supply module 100 of the air conditioner is not changed, and thus, the electronic components in the circuit can be prevented from being burned out due to the abnormal increase of the loop current in the circuit caused by the abnormal decrease of the resistance value of the loop resistor module 20.
The technical scheme of the utility model is that the loop current in the circuit is collected by the current collecting circuit 70 and fed back to the controller 10; when the loop current is too small, the controller 10 controls the first controllable switch 30 to be conducted, so that the first resistor module 40 and the loop resistor module 20 are connected in parallel to a circuit, the total resistance value in the circuit is reduced, the loop current is increased, and the normal operation of the photoelectric couplers in the indoor unit and the outdoor unit is ensured; when the loop current is too large, the controller 10 controls the second controllable switch 50 to be switched off, so that the second resistor module 60 and the loop resistor module 20 are connected in series to the circuit, the total resistance value in the circuit is increased, the loop current is reduced, and electronic components in the circuit are prevented from being burnt out due to the too large loop current.

The sampling circuit 71 is configured to collect a current signal in the circuit, convert the current signal into a voltage signal, and transmit the voltage signal to the signal amplifying circuit 72. The sampling circuit 71 may be implemented by a single resistor, or may be implemented by a plurality of resistors connected in series.
The signal amplifying circuit 72, which may be implemented by an operational amplifying circuit, is configured to amplify the voltage signal of the sampling circuit 71 and feed the amplified voltage signal back to the controller 10, so that the controller 10 can analyze and determine whether the loop current in the circuit is normal according to the received voltage signal, and perform corresponding operations, for example, control the first controllable switch 30 to be turned on or off, and control the second controllable switch 50 to be turned on or off.
Optionally, referring to fig. 4, in one embodiment, the sampling circuit 71 includes a first resistor R1; a first end of the first resistor R1 is an input end of the sampling circuit 71; the second terminal of the first resistor R1 is the output terminal of the sampling circuit 71, and the second terminal of the first resistor R1 is connected to the input terminal of the signal amplifying circuit 72.
In a specific embodiment, the sampling circuit 71 can be implemented by a single resistor to collect the loop current in the circuit, and the sampling circuit 71 is formed by a single resistor, so that the circuit cost can be reduced, and the circuit structure can be simplified. Specifically, when the loop current flows through the first resistor R1, a voltage is formed across the first resistor R1, and the signal amplifying circuit 72 amplifies the voltage across the first resistor R1 and feeds the amplified voltage back to the controller 10, so that the controller 10 can analyze and determine whether the loop current in the circuit is normal according to the received voltage signal, and perform corresponding operations.

The third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4 are used for determining the amplification factor of the operational amplifier U1 for the voltage signal, and the voltage signal output by the acquisition circuit 701 is amplified by the signal amplification circuit 72 composed of the second resistor R2, the third resistor R3, the fourth resistor R4 and the operational amplifier U1 and then fed back to the controller 10.
Optionally, referring to fig. 4, in an embodiment, the loop resistance module 20 includes a fifth resistor R5; the first terminal of the fifth resistor R5 is the first terminal of the loop resistor module 20, and the second terminal of the fifth resistor R5 is the second terminal of the loop resistor module 20.
Specifically, when the air conditioner is powered on, the first controllable switch 30 is off and the second controllable switch 50 is on by default. In this case, the total resistance of the communication circuit 300 is approximately equal to the resistance of the fifth resistor R5, i.e. only the fifth resistor R5 of the communication circuit 300 plays a role of current limiting.
If the loop current in the circuit is greater than the first preset current and less than the second preset current when the first controllable switch 30 is turned off and the second controllable switch 50 is turned on, which indicates that the resistance of the fifth resistor R5 is normal, then the controller 10 controls the first controllable switch 30 to keep the off state and the second controllable switch 50 to keep the on state.
If the loop current in the circuit is smaller than the first preset current when the first controllable switch 30 is turned off and the second controllable switch 50 is turned on, it indicates that the loop current is abnormally decreased due to the abnormally increased resistance of the fifth resistor R5 in the communication circuit 300. In this case, the controller 10 controls the first controllable switch 30 to switch from the off state to the on state, and controls the second controllable switch 50 to maintain the on state, so that the first resistance module 40 and the fifth resistance R5 are connected in parallel to the circuit. Since the total resistance of the communication circuit 300 is decreased after the first resistor module 40 and the fifth resistor R5 are connected in parallel, the loop current in the circuit is increased under the condition that the voltage provided by the power supply module 100 of the air conditioner is not changed, and thus, the situation that the loop current is abnormally decreased due to the abnormal increase of the resistance of the fifth resistor R5, and further, the photoelectric coupler in the indoor unit and the outdoor unit cannot be conducted due to the excessively small loop current can be avoided.
If the loop current in the circuit is larger than the second preset current when the first controllable switch 30 is turned off and the second controllable switch 50 is turned on, it indicates that the resistance of the fifth resistor R5 in the communication circuit 300 is abnormally reduced, which results in an abnormally increased loop current in the circuit. In this case, the controller 10 controls the first controllable switch 30 to maintain the off state, controls the second controllable switch 50 to switch from the on state to the off state, and controls the second controllable switch 50 to be switched off, so that the second resistance module 60 and the fifth resistor R5 are connected in series to the circuit. Since the total resistance of the communication circuit 300 is increased after the second resistor module 60 and the fifth resistor R5 are connected in series, the loop current in the circuit is decreased under the condition that the voltage provided by the power supply module 100 of the air conditioner is not changed, and thus, the electronic components in the circuit can be prevented from being burned out due to the abnormal increase of the loop current in the circuit caused by the abnormal decrease of the resistance of the fifth resistor R5.
Optionally, referring to fig. 4, in an embodiment, the first resistance module 40 includes a sixth resistance R6; and the first controllable switch 30 is connected in series with the sixth resistor R6 and then connected in parallel with the loop resistance module 20.
The sixth resistor R6 is used to connect the circuit in parallel with the loop resistor module 20 when the first controllable switch 30 is turned on, so as to reduce the total resistance value in the communication circuit 300 and increase the loop current in the circuit, thereby avoiding the problem that the loop current is abnormally reduced due to the abnormal increase of the resistance value of the loop resistor module 20, which further causes the abnormal operation of the photoelectric coupler in the indoor unit of the air conditioner and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, and affects the normal communication between the indoor unit of the air conditioner and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.
Optionally, referring to fig. 4, in an embodiment, the second resistance module 60 includes a seventh resistance R7; the seventh resistor R7 is connected in parallel with the second controllable switch 50.
The seventh resistor R7 is used to connect in series with the loop resistor module 20 to the circuit when the second controllable switch 50 is turned off, so as to increase the total resistance value in the communication circuit 300 and reduce the loop current in the circuit, thereby avoiding the abnormal increase of the loop current caused by the abnormal decrease of the resistance value of the loop resistor module 20 and further damaging the electronic components in the circuit.
In order to better explain the inventive concept of the present invention, the inventive concept of the present invention is explained below with reference to fig. 1 and 4.
When the air conditioner is powered on, the first controllable switch Q1 is off and the second controllable switch Q2 is on by default. At this time, the current inputted from the current input terminal IN is conducted to the current output terminal OUT through the fifth resistor R5, the second controllable switch Q2 and the first resistor R1. At this time, the first resistor R1 collects the loop current in the circuit, converts the loop current into voltage, amplifies the voltage by the signal amplifying circuit 72, and feeds the amplified voltage back to the controller 10.
The controller 10 analyzes the received voltage signal by calling an internal program or module thereof to determine the magnitude of the loop current, and if the loop current is greater than the first preset current and less than the second preset current, the controller 10 controls the first controllable switch Q1 to maintain the off state, the second controllable switch Q2 to maintain the on state, and the air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit normally communicate with each other.
If the loop current is smaller than the first preset current, the resistance value of the fifth resistor R5 in the circuit is abnormally increased, so that the loop current is abnormally reduced. In this case, the controller 10 controls the first controllable switch 30 to switch from the off state to the on state, and controls the second controllable switch 50 to maintain the on state, so that the fifth resistor R5 and the sixth resistor R6 are connected in parallel to the circuit. Since the total resistance of the communication circuit 300 is approximately equal to the ratio of the product of the resistance of the fifth resistor R5 and the resistance of the sixth resistor R6 to the sum of the resistance of the fifth resistor R5 and the resistance of the sixth resistor R6 after the fifth resistor R5 and the sixth resistor R6 are connected in parallel, that is, the total resistance of the communication circuit 300 is approximately equal to R5R 6/(R5+ R6), the total resistance of the communication circuit 300 is decreased. Under the condition that the voltage provided by the power supply module 100 of the air conditioner is not changed, the total resistance value in the circuit is reduced, and the loop current is increased, so that the situation that the loop current is abnormally reduced due to the abnormal increase of the resistance value of the fifth resistor R5, and further a photoelectric coupler in an indoor unit and an outdoor unit cannot be conducted due to the excessively small loop current can be avoided, and the normal communication between the indoor unit of the air conditioner and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is ensured.
If the loop current is greater than the second predetermined current, it indicates that the resistance of the fifth resistor R5 in the communication circuit 300 is abnormally decreased, resulting in an abnormally increased loop current. In this case, the controller 10 controls the first controllable switch 30 to maintain the off state, and controls the second controllable switch 50 to switch from the on state to the off state, so that the fifth resistor R5 and the seventh resistor R7 are connected in series to the circuit. Since the fifth resistor R5 and the seventh resistor R7 are connected in series, the total resistance of the communication circuit 300 is approximately equal to the sum of the resistance of the fifth resistor R5 and the resistance of the seventh resistor R7, i.e., the total resistance of the communication circuit 300 is increased. Under the condition that the voltage provided by the power supply module 100 of the air conditioner is not changed, the total resistance value in the communication circuit 300 is increased, and the loop current is reduced, so that electronic components in the circuit can be prevented from being burnt due to abnormal increase of the loop current in the circuit caused by abnormal reduction of the resistance value of the fifth resistor R5.
