Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem that uncooled air is blown into a room when blower delay control is executed to operate a blower at a prescribed time after starting a variable displacement compressor because delivery displacement is not sufficiently increased, which means that an air conditioner is not substantially started. <P>SOLUTION: When delivery pressure Pd becomes a prescribed value or more, it is taken that the delivery displacement of the compressor 1 reaches a prescribed capacity or more, that is the maximum capacity, and blower delay control is started. Blowing of uncooled air into the room can thus be securely prevented. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、可変容量型の圧縮機を備える圧縮装置に関するもので、車両用空調装置に適用して有効である。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
空調装置を起動した直後、つまり圧縮機を起動した直後においては、室内熱交換器の温度が十分に低下していないため、圧縮機の起動と同時に送風機を稼動させると、十分に冷却されていない空気が室内に送風されてしまうおそれがある。
【0003】
そこで、従来の車両用空調装置では、圧縮機を起動した時、つまり電磁クラッチに通電して圧縮機に動力を伝達した時から所定時間が経過した後、送風機を稼動させて室内に空気を送風している(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
【0004】
【特許文献1】
特公平5−9285号公報
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、特許文献1に記載の発明は、吐出容量が変化しない固定容量型の圧縮機を用いた空調装置に関するものであり、特許文献1に記載の発明を吐出容量を変化させることができる可変容量型の圧縮機を用いた空調装置に適用すると、以下のような問題が発生する。
【0006】
なお、吐出容量とは、シャフトが1回転する際に吐出される幾何学的な理論吐出量を言う。
【0007】
すなわち、斜板型の可変容量圧縮機等のピストンの行程(ストローク)を変化させる可変容量型の斜板型圧縮機(図2参照)では、斜板室1bの圧力を制御することにより、斜板室1b内の圧力がピストン1cに作用させる力とピストン1cに作用する圧縮反力との釣り合い状態を変化させて斜板1aを傾斜させる傾転モーメントを変化させ、ピストン1cのストロークを変化させて吐出容量を変化させる。
【0008】
また、通常、斜板室1bは、オリフィス等の絞り手段を介して吸入側の常に連通しているとともに、吐出側とは絞り開度を変化させることができる制御弁を介して連通しており、斜板室1b内の圧力は制御弁の開度を制御することにより制御される。
【0009】
そして、通常、吐出容量を最大とするときには、制御弁を閉じて斜板室1b内の圧力を略吸入圧まで低下させ、一方、吐出容量を減少させるときには、制御弁を開いて斜板室1b内の圧力を上昇させる。このため、吐出容量を小さくした状態では、吐出冷媒の多くが斜板室1b内に流れ込んでしまう。
【0010】
このとき、斜板室1b内に多量の液冷媒が溜まった状態で圧縮機を起動すると、吸入圧と吐出圧との差圧が小さいことに加えて、液冷媒の中で斜板1aが傾転せざるを得ないので、液冷媒が抵抗となって斜板1aを速やかに傾転させることができず、吐出容量を速やかに上昇させることができない。
【0011】
このため、圧縮機を起動した時、つまり吐出容量を上昇させる旨の信号を制御弁に対して発した時から所定時間が経過した後に送風機を稼動させても、吐出容量が十分に上昇しておらず、実質的に空調装置が起動していないため、冷却されていない空気が室内に送風されてしまうといった問題が発生する。
【0012】
本発明は、上記点に鑑み、第1には、従来と異なる新規な空調装置を提供し、第2には、上記問題を解決し得る手段を提供することを目的とする。

【0026】
これにより、冷却されていない空気が室内に送風されてしまうことを確実に防止できる。
【0027】
因みに、上記各手段の括弧内の符号は、後述する実施形態に記載の具体的手段との対応関係を示す一例である。
【0028】
【発明の実施の形態】
(第1実施形態)
本実施形態は、本発明に係る圧縮装置を車両用空調装置に適用したものであり、図1は車両用空調装置の模式図である。
【0029】
車両用空調装置の主たる構成機器である蒸気圧縮式冷凍機は、圧縮機1で圧縮された高温・高圧の冷媒と外気とを熱交換して冷媒を冷却する放熱器2、放熱器2から流出した冷媒を液相冷媒と気相冷媒とに分離器して余剰冷媒を液相冷媒として蓄えるレシーバ3、レシーバ3から供給された液相冷媒を減圧する減圧器4、及び減圧された低圧・低温冷媒と室内に吹き出す空気と熱交換して液相冷媒を蒸発させる室内熱交換器をなす蒸発器5等からなるものである。
【0030】
なお、圧縮機1は、走行用駆動源をなす内燃機関、つまりエンジン8から動力の供給を受けて稼動するもので、Vベルト及びプーリ9を介してエンジン1の始動・停止に機械的に連動して稼動する。
【0031】
また、ヒータ10はエンジン8の冷却水を熱源として室内に吹き出す空気を加熱するもので、ヒータ10の加熱能力は、流量制御弁11によりヒータ10に供給する温水流量を調節することにより行う。送風機12は室内に吹き出す空気を送風するものである。
【0032】
因みに、本実施形態では、蒸発器5を通過した空気を加熱し、その加熱量を調節することにより室内に吹き出す空気の温度をを調節する、いわゆるリヒート式を採用しているが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、ヒータ10を通過する温風量とヒータ10を迂回する冷風量とを調節することにより室内に吹き出す空気の温度をを調節する、いわゆるエアミックス式を採用してもよいことは言うまでもない。
【0033】
図2は可変容量型の斜板型圧縮機1の断面図であり、この圧縮機1は、周知のごとく、制御圧室をなす斜板室(クランクケース)1b内の圧力を制御することにより斜板1aの傾斜角、つまりピストン1cの行程を変化させて吐出容量を変化させることができる圧縮機である。
【0034】
具体的には、圧縮機1の吸入側と斜板室1bとをオリフィスやキャピラリーチューブ等の所定の圧力損失を発生させる絞り(図示せず。)を介して常に連通させるとともに、圧縮機1の吐出側と斜板室1bとを連通させる圧力導入通路(図示せず。)の連通状態を制御する圧力制御弁6を設け、吐出容量を増大させる場合には、圧力導入通路を絞る又は閉じることにより斜板室1b内の圧力を低下させ、吐出容量を減少させるときには、圧力制御弁6の開いて斜板室1b内の圧力を上昇させる。
【0035】
したがって、吐出容量が最大のときには、斜板室1b内の圧力は略吸入圧となる。一方、吐出容量が最小のときには、斜板室1b内の圧力は略吐出圧となる。
【0036】
そして、圧力制御弁6は、図1に示すように、電子制御装置(ECU)7により制御されており、このECU7は、通常運転時においては、蒸発器5内の圧力(蒸発温度)が所定値となるように圧力制御弁6をデューティ制御する。
【0037】
なお、蒸発温度を直接に計測することは困難であるので、本実施形態では、蒸発器5を通過した直後の空気温度、具体的には温度センサ7aの検出温度に基づいて圧力制御弁6を制御している。
【0038】
因みに、ECU7には、温度センサ7aに加えて、外気温度センサ、内気温度センサ及び日射センサ等の空調センサ7bの検出信号、乗員が操作設定する操作パネル7cの設定値、並びに圧縮機1の吐出圧を検出する吐出圧力センサ、圧縮機1の吐出冷媒温度を検出する吐出冷媒温度センサ、圧縮機1の吸入圧を検出する吸入圧力センサ及び圧縮機1の吸入冷媒温度を検出する吸入冷媒温度センサ等の圧縮機制御用パラメータ検出センサ7dの検出値が入力されている。
【0039】
次に、本実施形態の特徴的作動を図3に示すフローチャートに基づいて述べる。
【0040】
この制御フローは冷房運転時に実行されるものであり、空調装置の始動スイッチ(A/Cスイッチ)又は送風機12を始動させるブロワスイッチが投入されると同時に圧縮機1の吐出圧Pdを検出(監視)し始め(S11)、吐出圧Pdが所定圧力P1(例えば、外気温度20℃のときで約0.7MPa又は飽和圧力で+0.1MPa)以上となったときを基準に送風機遅動制御を開始する(S12、S13)。
【0041】
ここで、送風機遅動制御とは、冷却されていない空気が室内に送風されてしまうことを防止するために、送風機12の始動を所定時間T1だけ遅らせる制御であり、吐出圧Pdが所定圧力P1以上となったときを基準に所定時間T1を計測し始める。
【0042】
なお、A/Cスイッチ又はブロワスイッチが遮断されているときとは、空調装置が停止している状態であるので、通常、A/Cスイッチ又はブロワスイッチが投入されると同時に、ECU7から圧力制御弁6に吐出容量を最大容量まで増大させる旨の信号が発せられて吐出容量が最大容量となるように圧力制御弁6が作動する。
【0043】
そして、計測時間が所定時間T1以上となったときに、送風機12を始動させて室内に空気を送風し始める(S14、S15)。なお、計測時間が所定時間T1未満のときには、送風機12は稼動させない(S16)。
【0044】
次に、本実施形態の作用効果を述べる。
【0045】
本実施形態では、吐出圧Pdが所定値以上となったときに、圧縮機1の吐出容量が所定容量以上、つまり最大容量になったものとみなして、送風機遅動制御を開始するので、冷却されていない空気が室内に送風されてしまうことを確実に防止できる。
【0046】
(第2実施形態)
第1実施形態では、吐出圧Pdが所定値以上となったときに送風機遅動制御を開始したが、本実施形態は、図4に示すように、圧縮機1の吐出容量を上昇させるように圧力制御弁6が作動した時、つまりECU7から圧力制御弁6に吐出容量を最大容量まで増大させる旨の信号が発せられ時の吐出圧Pdを基準として、吐出圧Pdの上昇幅ΔPが所定値ΔP1(例えば、外気温度20℃のときで約0.1MPa)以上となったときに送風機遅動制御を開始するものである。
【0047】
これにより、本実施形態においても、冷却されていない空気が室内に送風されてしまうことを確実に防止できる。
【0048】
なお、図4に示すフローチャートにおいて、S22以外は第1実施形態と同じである。
【0049】
(第3実施形態)
第2実施形態では、圧縮機1の吐出容量を上昇させるように圧力制御弁6が作動した時の吐出圧Pdを基準として、吐出圧Pdの上昇幅ΔPが所定値ΔP1以上となったときに送風機遅動制御を開始したが、本実施形態は、図5に示すように、圧縮機1の吸入圧Psと吐出圧Pdとの差圧ΔPsが所定値ΔPs1(例えば、0.15MPa)以上となったときに送風機遅動制御を開始するものである。
【0050】
これにより、本実施形態においても、冷却されていない空気が室内に送風されてしまうことを確実に防止できる。
【0051】
なお、図5に示すフローチャートにおいて、S32以外は第1実施形態と同じである。
【0052】
(第4実施形態)
吐出圧Pdと圧縮機1の吐出冷媒温度Tdとは相関関係があることから、本実施形態は、吐出冷媒温度Tdをパラメータとして送風機遅動制御を行うものである。以下、図6に基づいて本実施形態の特徴的制御を述べる。
【0053】
A/Cスイッチ又はブロワスイッチが投入されると同時に圧縮機1の吐出冷媒温度Tdを検出(監視)し始め(S41)、吐出冷媒温度Tdが所定温度Td1(例えば、外気温度20℃のときで約30℃)以上となったときを基準に送風機遅動制御を開始する(S42、S43)。
【0054】
そして、計測時間が所定時間T1以上となったときに、送風機12を始動させて室内に空気を送風し始める(S44、S45)。なお、計測時間が所定時間T1未満のときには、送風機12は稼動させない(S46)。
【0055】
次に、本実施形態の作用効果を述べる。
【0056】
本実施形態では、吐出冷媒温度Tdが所定値以上となったときに、圧縮機1の吐出容量が所定容量以上、つまり最大容量になったものとみなして、送風機遅動制御を開始するので、冷却されていない空気が室内に送風されてしまうことを確実に防止できる。
【0057】
(第5実施形態)
第4実施形態では、吐出冷媒温度Tdが所定値以上となったときに送風機遅動制御を開始したが、本実施形態は、図7に示すように、圧縮機1の吐出容量を上昇させるように圧力制御弁6が作動した時、つまりECU7から圧力制御弁6に吐出容量を最大容量まで増大させる旨の信号が発せられ時の吐出冷媒温度Tdを基準として、吐出冷媒温度Tdの上昇幅ΔTが所定値ΔT1(例えば、外気温度20℃のときで約10℃)以上となったときに送風機遅動制御を開始するものである。
【0058】
これにより、本実施形態においても、冷却されていない空気が室内に送風されてしまうことを確実に防止できる。
【0059】
なお、図7に示すフローチャートにおいて、S52以外は第4実施形態と同じである。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a compression device having a variable displacement compressor, and is effective when applied to a vehicle air conditioner.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Immediately after starting the air conditioner, that is, immediately after starting the compressor, the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is not sufficiently reduced. Air may be blown into the room.
[0003]
Therefore, in a conventional vehicle air conditioner, after a predetermined time has elapsed from when the compressor is started, that is, when power is transmitted to the compressor by energizing the electromagnetic clutch, the blower is operated to blow air into the room. (For example, see Patent Document 1).
[0004]
[Patent Document 1]
Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-9285 [0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Incidentally, the invention described in Patent Document 1 relates to an air conditioner using a fixed displacement compressor in which the discharge capacity does not change. The invention described in Patent Document 1 relates to a variable displacement capable of changing the discharge capacity. When applied to an air conditioner using a type compressor, the following problems occur.
[0006]
Note that the discharge capacity refers to a geometric theoretical discharge amount discharged when the shaft makes one rotation.
[0007]
That is, in a variable displacement type swash plate type compressor (see FIG. 2), such as a swash plate type variable displacement compressor, which changes the stroke of a piston (see FIG. 2), the pressure in the swash plate chamber 1b is controlled so that the swash plate chamber 1b is controlled. The pressure in 1b changes the balance between the force acting on the piston 1c and the compression reaction force acting on the piston 1c, thereby changing the tilting moment for tilting the swash plate 1a and changing the stroke of the piston 1c to discharge. Change the capacity.
[0008]
Normally, the swash plate chamber 1b is always in communication with the suction side through a throttle means such as an orifice, and is in communication with the discharge side through a control valve capable of changing the throttle opening. The pressure in the swash plate chamber 1b is controlled by controlling the opening of the control valve.
[0009]
Normally, when the discharge capacity is maximized, the control valve is closed to reduce the pressure in the swash plate chamber 1b to substantially the suction pressure. On the other hand, when the discharge capacity is reduced, the control valve is opened and the pressure in the swash plate chamber 1b is reduced. Increase pressure. Therefore, when the discharge capacity is reduced, most of the discharged refrigerant flows into the swash plate chamber 1b.
[0010]
At this time, if the compressor is started with a large amount of liquid refrigerant accumulated in the swash plate chamber 1b, the swash plate 1a tilts in the liquid refrigerant in addition to the small differential pressure between the suction pressure and the discharge pressure. Therefore, the swash plate 1a cannot be quickly tilted due to the resistance of the liquid refrigerant, and the discharge capacity cannot be quickly increased.
[0011]
Therefore, even when the blower is operated after a predetermined time has elapsed from when the compressor is started, that is, when a signal to increase the discharge capacity is issued to the control valve, the discharge capacity is sufficiently increased. However, since the air conditioner has not been substantially activated, there is a problem that uncooled air is blown into the room.
[0012]
The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and has as its first object to provide a new air conditioner different from the conventional one, and second, to provide means capable of solving the above problem.
[0013]

[0028]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
(1st Embodiment)
In this embodiment, the compression device according to the present invention is applied to an air conditioner for a vehicle, and FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the air conditioner for a vehicle.
[0029]
The vapor compression refrigerator, which is a main component of the vehicle air conditioner, exchanges heat between the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant compressed by the compressor 1 and the outside air to cool the refrigerant, and flows out of the radiator 2. 3 that separates the obtained refrigerant into a liquid-phase refrigerant and a gas-phase refrigerant and stores excess refrigerant as a liquid-phase refrigerant, a decompressor 4 that depressurizes the liquid-phase refrigerant supplied from the receiver 3, and a depressurized low-pressure / low-temperature The evaporator 5 and the like constitute an indoor heat exchanger that exchanges heat between the refrigerant and air blown into the room to evaporate the liquid-phase refrigerant.
[0030]
The compressor 1 operates by receiving power from an internal combustion engine serving as a driving source for traveling, that is, an engine 8, and is mechanically linked to start / stop of the engine 1 via a V-belt and a pulley 9. And work.
[0031]
The heater 10 heats the air blown into the room using the cooling water of the engine 8 as a heat source. The heating capacity of the heater 10 is controlled by adjusting the flow rate of the hot water supplied to the heater 10 by the flow control valve 11. The blower 12 blows the air blown into the room.
[0032]
Incidentally, in the present embodiment, a so-called reheat method is adopted in which the air that has passed through the evaporator 5 is heated, and the amount of the heated air is adjusted to adjust the temperature of the air blown into the room. The present invention is not limited to this, and a so-called air-mix type in which the temperature of air blown into the room is adjusted by adjusting the amount of warm air passing through the heater 10 and the amount of cool air bypassing the heater 10 may be adopted. Needless to say, it's good.
[0033]
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a variable capacity swash plate type compressor 1 which, as is well known, controls the pressure in a swash plate chamber (crankcase) 1b which forms a control pressure chamber. This compressor is capable of changing the displacement angle by changing the inclination angle of the plate 1a, that is, the stroke of the piston 1c.
[0034]
More specifically, the suction side of the compressor 1 and the swash plate chamber 1b are always in communication with each other through a throttle (not shown) that generates a predetermined pressure loss such as an orifice or a capillary tube. A pressure control valve 6 is provided for controlling the communication state of a pressure introduction passage (not shown) for communicating the pressure side with the swash plate chamber 1b. To increase the discharge capacity, the pressure introduction passage is narrowed or closed by narrowing or closing the pressure introduction passage. When reducing the pressure in the plate chamber 1b and reducing the discharge capacity, the pressure control valve 6 is opened to increase the pressure in the swash plate chamber 1b.
[0035]
Therefore, when the discharge capacity is at the maximum, the pressure in the swash plate chamber 1b is substantially equal to the suction pressure. On the other hand, when the discharge capacity is the minimum, the pressure in the swash plate chamber 1b is substantially equal to the discharge pressure.
[0036]
As shown in FIG. 1, the pressure control valve 6 is controlled by an electronic control unit (ECU) 7. During normal operation, the ECU 7 controls the pressure (evaporation temperature) in the evaporator 5 to a predetermined value. The duty control of the pressure control valve 6 is performed so that the value becomes a value.
[0037]
Since it is difficult to directly measure the evaporating temperature, in this embodiment, the pressure control valve 6 is controlled based on the air temperature immediately after passing through the evaporator 5, specifically, the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 7a. Controlling.
[0038]
Incidentally, in addition to the temperature sensor 7a, the ECU 7 detects signals of the air conditioning sensors 7b such as an outside air temperature sensor, an inside air temperature sensor, and a solar radiation sensor, the set values of the operation panel 7c operated and set by the occupant, and the discharge of the compressor 1. A discharge pressure sensor for detecting the pressure, a discharge refrigerant temperature sensor for detecting the discharge refrigerant temperature of the compressor 1, a suction pressure sensor for detecting the suction pressure of the compressor 1, and a suction refrigerant temperature sensor for detecting the suction refrigerant temperature of the compressor 1. And the like, the detection value of the compressor control parameter detection sensor 7d is input.
[0039]
Next, the characteristic operation of the present embodiment will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
[0040]
This control flow is executed during the cooling operation. When the start switch (A / C switch) of the air conditioner or the blower switch for starting the blower 12 is turned on, the discharge pressure Pd of the compressor 1 is detected (monitored). ) (S11), and when the discharge pressure Pd becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined pressure P1 (for example, about 0.7 MPa at an outside air temperature of 20 ° C. or +0.1 MPa at a saturation pressure), the blower delay control is started. (S12, S13).
[0041]
Here, the blower delay control is a control for delaying the start of the blower 12 by a predetermined time T1 in order to prevent uncooled air from being blown into the room, and the discharge pressure Pd is reduced to a predetermined pressure P1. The measurement of the predetermined time T1 is started based on the above.
[0042]
When the A / C switch or the blower switch is shut off, it means that the air conditioner is stopped. Therefore, normally, when the A / C switch or the blower switch is turned on, the pressure control from the ECU 7 is performed. A signal to increase the discharge capacity to the maximum capacity is issued to the valve 6, and the pressure control valve 6 is operated so that the discharge capacity becomes the maximum capacity.
[0043]
Then, when the measured time is equal to or longer than the predetermined time T1, the blower 12 is started to start blowing air into the room (S14, S15). When the measurement time is shorter than the predetermined time T1, the blower 12 is not operated (S16).
[0044]
Next, the operation and effect of the present embodiment will be described.
[0045]
In the present embodiment, when the discharge pressure Pd becomes equal to or more than a predetermined value, it is considered that the discharge capacity of the compressor 1 is equal to or more than a predetermined capacity, that is, the maximum capacity, and the blower delay control is started. It is possible to reliably prevent the air that has not been blown into the room.
[0046]
(2nd Embodiment)
In the first embodiment, the blower delay control is started when the discharge pressure Pd becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined value. However, in the present embodiment, the discharge capacity of the compressor 1 is increased as shown in FIG. When the pressure control valve 6 is actuated, that is, when the ECU 7 sends a signal to the pressure control valve 6 to increase the discharge capacity to the maximum capacity, the rise width ΔP of the discharge pressure Pd is a predetermined value based on the discharge pressure Pd. When ΔP1 (for example, about 0.1 MPa when the outside air temperature is 20 ° C.) or more, the blower delay control is started.
[0047]
Thus, also in the present embodiment, it is possible to reliably prevent uncooled air from being blown into the room.
[0048]
In addition, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 4, except for S22, it is the same as the first embodiment.
[0049]
(Third embodiment)
In the second embodiment, when the increase width ΔP of the discharge pressure Pd is equal to or more than a predetermined value ΔP1 based on the discharge pressure Pd when the pressure control valve 6 is operated so as to increase the discharge capacity of the compressor 1, Although the blower delay control is started, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the differential pressure ΔPs between the suction pressure Ps and the discharge pressure Pd of the compressor 1 is equal to or more than a predetermined value ΔPs1 (for example, 0.15 MPa). When this happens, the blower delay control is started.
[0050]
Thus, also in the present embodiment, it is possible to reliably prevent uncooled air from being blown into the room.
[0051]
Note that, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 5, the steps other than S32 are the same as those in the first embodiment.
[0052]
(Fourth embodiment)
Since the discharge pressure Pd and the discharge refrigerant temperature Td of the compressor 1 have a correlation, in the present embodiment, the blower delay control is performed using the discharge refrigerant temperature Td as a parameter. Hereinafter, the characteristic control of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0053]
At the same time when the A / C switch or the blower switch is turned on, the discharge refrigerant temperature Td of the compressor 1 starts to be detected (monitored) (S41), and when the discharge refrigerant temperature Td is a predetermined temperature Td1 (for example, when the outside air temperature is 20 ° C.) The blower delay control is started on the basis of when the temperature is about 30 ° C. or higher (S42, S43).
[0054]
Then, when the measurement time becomes equal to or longer than the predetermined time T1, the blower 12 is started to start blowing air into the room (S44, S45). When the measurement time is less than the predetermined time T1, the blower 12 is not operated (S46).
[0055]
Next, the operation and effect of the present embodiment will be described.
[0056]
In the present embodiment, when the discharge refrigerant temperature Td becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined value, it is considered that the discharge capacity of the compressor 1 is equal to or higher than the predetermined capacity, that is, the maximum capacity, and the blower delay control is started. It is possible to reliably prevent uncooled air from being blown into the room.
[0057]
(Fifth embodiment)
In the fourth embodiment, the blower delay control is started when the discharge refrigerant temperature Td becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined value. However, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the discharge capacity of the compressor 1 is increased. When the pressure control valve 6 is activated, that is, when the ECU 7 issues a signal to the pressure control valve 6 to increase the discharge capacity to the maximum capacity, the rise width ΔT of the discharge refrigerant temperature Td based on the discharge refrigerant temperature Td at the time of reference. Is greater than or equal to a predetermined value ΔT1 (for example, about 10 ° C. when the outside air temperature is 20 ° C.), the blower delay control is started.
[0058]
Thus, also in the present embodiment, it is possible to reliably prevent uncooled air from being blown into the room.
[0059]
Note that, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 7, except for S52, is the same as the fourth embodiment.
[0060]
(Sixth embodiment)
In the fifth embodiment, the increase width ΔT of the discharge refrigerant temperature Td is equal to or more than a predetermined value ΔP1 based on the discharge refrigerant temperature Td when the pressure control valve 6 is operated so as to increase the discharge capacity of the compressor 1. At this time, the blower delay control is started, but in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the differential pressure ΔTs between the suction refrigerant temperature Ts and the discharge refrigerant temperature Td of the compressor 1 becomes a predetermined value ΔTs1 (for example, the outside air temperature). When the temperature is equal to or higher than about 15 ° C. at 20 ° C.), the blower delay control is started.
[0061]
Thus, also in the present embodiment, it is possible to reliably prevent uncooled air from being blown into the room.
[0062]
Note that, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 8, except for S62, is the same as the fourth embodiment.
[0063]
(Other embodiments)
In the above-described embodiment, the control device that controls the blower 12 and the control device that controls the compressor 1 are integrated. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The compressor device is separated from the air conditioning control device that controls the blower 12 and the like, and a signal indicating that the discharge capacity of the compressor 1 has exceeded a predetermined capacity is transmitted from the compressor device to the air conditioning control device, and the signal is received.
