Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control process of an air conditioner which can prevent vibration of a decompression valve provided in a bypass tube of an interior unit or noises caused thereby at the time of cooling and dehumidifying operations and can thus perform smooth cooling and dehumidifying operations. <P>SOLUTION: At the time of start of cooling and dehumidifying operations, in the case where the temperature of an exterior heat exchanger 7 is a predetermined value or less, the operation is temporally switched from the cooling and dehumidifying operation to a cooling operation. Then, the cooling operation is continued for a predetermined period of time, thereby reducing the pressure differential between a branching section A and a branching section B located at both ends of a bypass tube 13 provided with a second expansion valve 15. Thereafter, the operation is switched to the cooling operation again, thereby suppressing the vibration or noises of the second expansion valve 15. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI

Description

【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、冷房除湿運転及び暖房除湿運転を行える空気調和機に関わり、より詳細には、冷房除湿運転時、膨張弁に発生する振動を防止して静粛な運転を行えるようにした空気調和機の制御方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来の空気調和機の冷媒回路も本願による冷媒回路と同一であるので図1を用いて説明する。図1に示す冷媒回路は圧縮機1と四方弁2と室外熱交換器7と第一膨張弁4と第一室内熱交換器8と第二室内熱交換器9とを順次接続し、前記第一室内熱交換器8と前記第二室内熱交換器9とを電磁開閉弁14を備えた接続管12により接続するとともに、同接続管12に第二膨張弁15を備えたバイパス管13を設けている。(特許文献1参照)
【0003】
冷房除湿運転時、前記接続管12に備えられた前記電磁開閉弁14は閉鎖され、また前記第一膨張弁4は全開状態に設定される。前記圧縮機1から吐出された高温高圧の冷媒は、前記四方弁2を経て前記室外熱交換器7に流入し熱を放出して凝縮する。続いて全開状態の前記第一膨張弁4を通過し、前記第一室内熱交換器8に流入して同第一室内熱交換器8で引き続いて熱を放出して凝縮する。凝縮した冷媒は前記第二膨張弁15を通過することにより絞られ低温低圧となって前記第二室内熱交換器9に流入し、同第二室内熱交換器9で周囲の熱を吸収して蒸発する。蒸発した冷媒は前記四方弁2を経て前記圧縮機1の吸込側に還流するようになっている。室内機に吸込まれた空気は前記第二室内熱交換器9により冷却されて、その表面に含有する水分を凝縮させ除湿される一方、前記第一室内熱交換器8により再熱され、再び室内に送出されるようになっている。
【0004】
しかしながら、低外気温時に冷房除湿運転を行なう場合、前記室外熱交換器7の温度が低下しており、同室外熱交換器7での冷媒の凝縮が順調に行われないため、前記バイパス管13の両端部での分岐部Aと分岐部Bとの圧力差が増大する。前記分岐部Aと分岐部Bとの圧力差が増大すると前記第二膨張弁15に急激に冷媒が流入し、このため前記第二膨張弁15に振動とともに、これに起因する騒音が発生する不具合があった。

【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は上記問題点に鑑み、冷房除湿運転及び暖房除湿運転を行える空気調和機において、低外気温時に冷房除湿運転を始動したとしても、室内機のバイパス管に備えられた膨張弁の振動及びこれに起因する騒音を抑制して、円滑な除湿運転を行える空気調和機の制御方法を提供することを目的とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は上記課題を解決するため、圧縮機と、四方弁と、室外熱交換器と、第一膨張弁と、第一室内熱交換器と第二室内熱交換器とを順次接続して冷媒回路を構成し、前記第一室内熱交換器と前記第二室内熱交換器との間に、電磁開閉弁を第二膨張弁に並列に接続してなり、
冷房除湿運転時、前記電磁開閉弁を閉鎖する一方、前記第一膨張弁を全開とし、前記第一室内熱交換器を凝縮器として、前記第二室内熱交換器を蒸発器として夫々作用させ再熱除湿運転を行うとともに、
暖房除湿運転時、前記四方弁を切換えるとともに、前記電磁開閉弁を閉鎖する一方、前記第一膨張弁を全開とし、前記第一室内熱交換器を蒸発器として、前記第二室内熱交換器を凝縮器として夫々作用させ再熱除湿運転を行う空気調和機の制御方法において、
冷房除湿運転開始時、前記室外熱交換器の温度が所定値以下の場合、冷房除湿運転から一時的に冷房運転に切換えてなる構成となっている。
【0008】
また、冷房除湿運転から冷房運転に切換えた際、所定時間が経過したら再度冷房除湿運転に切換えてなる構成となっている。
【0009】
また、前記第二膨張弁が、前記第一熱交換器から冷媒が流入した際と、前記第二熱交換器から冷媒が流入した際とで、冷媒の減圧量が異なるように作用してなる構成となっている。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を、添付図面に基づいた実施例として詳細に説明する。
図1は本発明による空気調和機の冷媒回路図であり、図2は室内ユニットに設けられた第二膨張弁の冷房除湿運転時と暖房除湿運転時での状態を示す断面図である。図3は制御部を示すブロック図であり、図4は除湿運転時のフローチャートである。
本発明による空気調和機は、図1で示すように、圧縮機1と四方弁2と室外ユニット3に備えられた室外熱交換器7と第一膨張弁4と、室内ユニット5に備えられた第一室内熱交換器8及び第二室内熱交換器9と、前記圧縮機1の吸込側に設けられたアキュームレータ6とを順次接続して冷媒回路を構成している。
【0011】
前記室内ユニット5に備えられた前記第一室内熱交換器8と前記第二室内熱交換器9とは電磁開閉弁14を備えた接続管12により接続され、また同接続管12には、前記電磁開閉弁14を挟むようにして第二膨張弁15を備えたバイパス管13が接続されている。同バイパス管13は前記第一室内熱交換器8側に設けられた分岐部Aから分岐し前記第二膨張弁15に接続される接続管13aと前記第二室内熱交換器9側に設けられた分岐部Bから分岐し、前記第二膨張弁15に接続される接続管13bとからなっている。
【0012】
前記バイパス管13に備えられた前記第二膨張弁15は図2で示すように、中空状となった弁胴17と同弁胴17の両側に設けられ、網体18aを内部に張設した第一サイレンサー18及び網体19aを内部に張設した第二サイレンサー19と、前記弁胴17内に前後進退自在に挿入された円柱状の弁体20とからなっている。前記弁胴17の前記第一サイレンサー18側には口径が狭い第一弁胴部17aが形成され、前記第二サイレンサー19側には前記第一弁胴部17aより口径の大きい第二弁胴部17bが形成されるとともに、前記第一サイレンサー18は前記接続管13aに接続され、前記第二サイレンサー19は前記接続管13bに夫々接続されている。
【0013】
前記第二膨張弁15に前記接続管13a側から冷媒が流入すると、図2(A)で示すように、前記弁体20は流体圧により前記第二サイレンサー19の網体19a側に押圧され、冷媒は前記弁体20と前記第一弁胴部17aとが重畳する減圧区間で減圧され、前記接続管13b側から冷媒が流入すると、図2(B)で示すように、前記弁体20は流体圧により前記第一サイレンサー18の網体18a側に押圧され、冷媒は前記弁体20と前記第二弁胴部17bとが重畳する減圧区間で減圧されるようになっている。前記接続管13bから冷媒が流入すると前記弁体20と前記第一弁胴部17aとの重畳する減圧区間が大きくなり、前記接続管13a側から冷媒が流入した場合に比べ、より冷媒は減圧されるようになっている。
【0014】
前記室外ユニット3に設けられた制御部21には、図3で示すように、室外熱交温度判定部22と、運転モード判定部23と運転切換部24と駆動部25とが設けられている。前記室外熱交温度判定部22には、室外熱交温度センサ30と、前記室外熱交換器7の所定の温度を予め設定した室外熱交温度設定値26とが接続され、前記室外熱交温度判定部22は前記室外熱交温度センサ30から送出されてきた検出値が前記室外熱交温度設定値26に設定された設定値より大きいか否かを判定し、前記運転切換部24に信号を送出するようになっている。前記運転モード判定部23には現在行われている除湿運転が、冷房除湿運転モード27か暖房除湿運転モード28かを判定し前記運転切換部24に信号を送出するようになっており、同運転切換部24は送出されてきた信号を基に運転モードを切換え、タイマ29が接続された前記駆動部25に信号を送出するようになっている。同駆動部25は前記四方弁2及び前記電磁開閉弁14を運転モードに応じて切換えるようになっている。
【0015】
次に、暖房除湿運転時の冷媒の流れについて説明する。暖房除湿運転時、前記室内ユニット5に備えられた前記電磁開閉弁14は閉鎖される一方、前記第一膨張弁4は全開状態に設定される。前記圧縮機1から吐出された高温高圧の冷媒は、図1の破線で示すように、前記四方弁2を介して前記第二室内熱交換器9に流入し熱を放出して凝縮する。凝縮した冷媒は前記電磁開閉弁14が閉鎖されていることにより前記バイパス管13に流入し前記第二膨張弁15により絞られ減圧されて低温低圧となり前記第一室内熱交換器8に流入し、同第一室内熱交換器8で熱を吸収してその一部が蒸発する。液相冷媒と気相冷媒とが混合した冷媒は全開状態の前記第一膨張弁4を通過して前記室外熱交換器7に流入し、同室外熱交換器7で熱を吸収して更に蒸発し、前記四方弁2を介して前記圧縮機1の吸込側に還流するようになっている。
【0016】
上記した暖房除湿運転時、前記室内ユニット5に吸込まれた室内の空気は、前記第一室内熱交換器8により冷却されてその表面に含有する水分を凝縮させる一方、前記第二室内熱交換器9により加熱され常温の空気となって再び室内に送出されるようになっている。
【0017】
次に、冷房除湿運転について説明する。冷房除湿運転時も前記室内ユニット5に備えられた前記電磁開閉弁14は前記駆動部25により閉鎖される一方、前記第一膨張弁4は全開状態に設定されるようになっている。前記圧縮機1から吐出された高温高圧の冷媒は、図1の実線で示すように、前記四方弁2を介して前記室外熱交換器7に流入し熱を放出して凝縮する。凝縮した冷媒は全開状態の前記第一膨張弁4を通り、前記室内ユニット5の前記第一室内熱交換器8に流入し更に熱を放出して凝縮する。凝縮した冷媒は前記電磁開閉弁14が閉鎖されていることにより前記バイパス管13に流入し前記第二膨張弁15により減圧されて低温低圧となり前記第二室内熱交換器9に流入し熱を吸収して蒸発する。蒸発した冷媒は前記四方弁2を介して前記圧縮機1の吸込側に還流するようになっている。前記室内ユニット5に吸込まれた室内の空気は、前記第二熱交換器9により冷却されてその表面に含有する水分を凝縮させる一方、前記第一室内熱交換器8により加熱され常温の空気となって再び室内に送出されるようになっている。
【0018】
図4のフローチャートで示すように、冷房運転を開始(STEP1)すると、まず前記運転モード判定部23により冷房除湿運転モードか暖房除湿運転モードかが判定される(STEP2)。暖房除湿運転が行われていればその状態が継続される(STEP3)。冷房除湿運転が行われていれば、前記室外熱交温度センサ30で検出された検出値と、前記室外熱交温度設定値26とが前記室外熱交判定部22で比較され(STEP4)、検出値が前記室外熱交温度設定値26より低い場合は、前記運転切換部24により冷房除湿運転は一時的に冷房運転に切換えられ(STEP5)、高い場合は冷房除湿運転が続いて継続されるようになっている(STEP6)。冷房運転に切換えられると前記駆動部25に接続された前記タイマ29が作動し所定時間を計測し(STEP7)、所定時間が経過すればその信号を前記駆動部25に送出する。前記駆動部25はその信号を基に冷房運転を再び冷房除湿運転に切換えるようになっている(STEP8)。
【0019】
冷房運転を所定時間継続することにより、前記バイパス管13の前記分岐部Aと前記分岐部Bとの両者間の圧力差が減少する。これにより、前記電磁開閉弁14を閉鎖して冷房運転から冷房除湿運転に切換えた際、前記第二膨張弁15には穏やかに冷媒が流入し、振動あるいはそれに起因する騒音の発生を防止して円滑な冷房除湿運転を行える空気調和機の制御方法とすることができるようになっている。
【0020】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明によると、冷房除湿運転の開始時、室外熱交換器の温度が所定値以下である場合は、冷房除湿運転から冷房運転に一時的に切換え、所定時間冷房運転を継続することにより、第二膨張弁を備えたバイパス管両端の分岐部における圧力差を減少させ、その後再び冷房運転に切換えることにより減圧弁の振動あるいは騒音の発生を抑制して円滑な冷房除湿運転を行うことのできる空気調和機の制御方法となる。

[0015]
Next, the flow of the refrigerant during the heating and dehumidifying operation will be described. During the heating and dehumidifying operation, the electromagnetic on-off valve 14 provided in the indoor unit 5 is closed, while the first expansion valve 4 is set to a fully open state. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged from the compressor 1 flows into the second indoor heat exchanger 9 through the four-way valve 2 to release heat and condense as shown by a broken line in FIG.

The refrigerant in which the liquid-phase refrigerant and the gas-phase refrigerant are mixed passes through the first expansion valve 4 in a fully opened state, flows into the outdoor heat exchanger 7, absorbs heat in the outdoor heat exchanger 7, and further evaporates. Then, the refrigerant is returned to the suction side of the compressor 1 via the four-way valve 2.
[0016]
During the heating and dehumidifying operation described above, the indoor air sucked into the indoor unit 5 is cooled by the first indoor heat exchanger 8 to condense the moisture contained on the surface thereof, while the second indoor heat exchanger The air is heated at 9 and becomes room temperature air, which is sent out again indoors.
[0017]
Next, the cooling and dehumidifying operation will be described. Also during the cooling and dehumidifying operation, the electromagnetic on-off valve 14 provided in the indoor unit 5 is closed by the drive unit 25, while the first expansion valve 4 is set to a fully open state. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged from the compressor 1 flows into the outdoor heat exchanger 7 through the four-way valve 2 to release heat and condense as shown by a solid line in FIG. The condensed refrigerant passes through the first expansion valve 4 in the fully opened state, flows into the first indoor heat exchanger 8 of the indoor unit 5, further releases heat, and condenses. The condensed refrigerant flows into the bypass pipe 13 due to the electromagnetic on-off valve 14 being closed and is decompressed by the second expansion valve 15 to a low temperature and low pressure, flows into the second indoor heat exchanger 9 and absorbs heat.

Then, it is sent out again indoors.
[0018]
As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 4, when the cooling operation is started (STEP 1), the operation mode determination unit 23 first determines whether the operation is in the cooling dehumidification operation mode or the heating dehumidification operation mode (STEP 2). If the heating and dehumidifying operation is being performed, that state is continued (STEP 3). If the cooling and dehumidifying operation is being performed, the detection value detected by the outdoor heat exchange temperature sensor 30 is compared with the outdoor heat exchange temperature set value 26 by the outdoor heat exchange determination unit 22 (STEP 4). When the value is lower than the outdoor heat exchange temperature set value 26, the cooling / dehumidifying operation is temporarily switched to the cooling operation by the operation switching unit 24 (STEP 5), and when the value is higher, the cooling / dehumidifying operation is continued. (STEP 6). When the operation is switched to the cooling operation, the timer 29 connected to the drive unit 25 is operated to measure a predetermined time (STEP 7), and a signal is sent to the drive unit 25 when the predetermined time has elapsed. The drive unit 25 switches the cooling operation to the cooling and dehumidifying operation again based on the signal (STEP 8).

By continuing the cooling operation for a predetermined time, the pressure difference between the branch portion A and the branch portion B of the bypass pipe 13 decreases. Thereby, when the electromagnetic on-off valve 14 is closed to switch from the cooling operation to the cooling dehumidification operation, the refrigerant gently flows into the second expansion valve 15 to prevent the generation of vibration or noise caused by the vibration. An air conditioner control method capable of performing a smooth cooling and dehumidifying operation can be provided.
