Description

本発明は、冷蔵庫に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a refrigerator.

常時通電が行われる冷蔵庫に蓄電池等の補助電源を搭載し、この補助電源と商用電源の双方で動作する冷蔵庫が知られている。図5は、特許文献1に示された冷蔵庫300の構成を示すブロック図である。   There is known a refrigerator in which an auxiliary power source such as a storage battery is mounted on a refrigerator that is always energized, and operates with both the auxiliary power source and a commercial power source. FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the refrigerator 300 disclosed in Patent Document 1. As illustrated in FIG.

特許文献1の冷蔵庫300は、入力端子a、b、系統側スイッチ308、整流回路301、インバータ回路302、充放電回路303、制御回路304、庫内温度センサ305、電池側スイッチ306、充電用スイッチ307、コンプレッサ用モータ309、蓄電池ユニット310を備えている。又、インバータ302、充放電回路303、庫内温度センサ305、電池側スイッチ306、充電用スイッチ307、系統側スイッチ308の各々は制御回路304により制御される。   The refrigerator 300 of Patent Document 1 includes input terminals a and b, a system side switch 308, a rectifier circuit 301, an inverter circuit 302, a charge / discharge circuit 303, a control circuit 304, an internal temperature sensor 305, a battery side switch 306, and a charging switch. 307, a compressor motor 309, and a storage battery unit 310 are provided. Each of the inverter 302, the charge / discharge circuit 303, the internal temperature sensor 305, the battery side switch 306, the charging switch 307, and the system side switch 308 is controlled by the control circuit 304.

冷蔵庫300では、電池側スイッチ306がオンに設定されると共に、充電用スイッチ307がオフに設定されると、蓄電池ユニット310から充放電回路303に直流の電圧が入力され、充放電回路303は、この入力電圧を検出して電圧検出信号を制御回路304に供給する。制御回路304は、充放電回路303からの電圧検出信号に基づいて電圧を上昇させるための制御信号を充放電回路303に出力し、充放電回路303は、入力された制御信号に基づいて入力電圧を昇圧し、インバータ回路302に供給する。   In the refrigerator 300, when the battery-side switch 306 is set to ON and the charging switch 307 is set to OFF, a DC voltage is input from the storage battery unit 310 to the charge / discharge circuit 303. This input voltage is detected and a voltage detection signal is supplied to the control circuit 304. The control circuit 304 outputs a control signal for increasing the voltage based on the voltage detection signal from the charge / discharge circuit 303 to the charge / discharge circuit 303, and the charge / discharge circuit 303 receives the input voltage based on the input control signal. Is boosted and supplied to the inverter circuit 302.

一方、電池側スイッチ306がオフに設定されると共に、充電用スイッチ307がオンに設定されると、整流回路301から出力直流電圧が、充放電回路303に入力され、充放電回路303は、この入力電圧を検出して電圧検出信号を制御回路304に供給する。制御回路304は、充放電回路303からの電圧検出信号に基づいて電圧を低下させるための制御信号を充放電回路303に出力し、充放電回路303は、入力された制御信号に基づいて入力電圧を蓄電池ユニット310の充電が可能な電圧値まで降圧し、蓄電池ユニット310に供給する。この結果、蓄電池ユニット310が充電される。   On the other hand, when the battery-side switch 306 is set to OFF and the charging switch 307 is set to ON, the output DC voltage is input from the rectifier circuit 301 to the charge / discharge circuit 303, and the charge / discharge circuit 303 An input voltage is detected and a voltage detection signal is supplied to the control circuit 304. The control circuit 304 outputs a control signal for reducing the voltage based on the voltage detection signal from the charge / discharge circuit 303 to the charge / discharge circuit 303, and the charge / discharge circuit 303 receives the input voltage based on the input control signal. Is reduced to a voltage value at which the storage battery unit 310 can be charged, and supplied to the storage battery unit 310. As a result, the storage battery unit 310 is charged.

以上のように、電池側スイッチ306、充電用スイッチ307の開閉を制御して、商用電源及び蓄電池ユニットに充電された電力の双方で冷蔵庫を動作させることができる。   As described above, the refrigerator can be operated with both the commercial power source and the electric power charged in the storage battery unit by controlling the opening and closing of the battery side switch 306 and the charging switch 307.

しかしながら、特許文献1の場合、冷蔵庫に搭載された蓄電池ユニット310の電力は、この蓄電池ユニット310を搭載した機器である冷蔵庫300にのみ利用され、他の電気機器には利用できない。つまり、停電時等に冷蔵庫300の動作は一定時間維持できるが、その他の電気機器、例えば、電子レンジ、炊飯器等は一切使用できないといった状況には対処できない。   However, in the case of Patent Document 1, the power of the storage battery unit 310 mounted on the refrigerator is used only for the refrigerator 300 that is a device on which the storage battery unit 310 is mounted, and cannot be used for other electrical devices. That is, the operation of the refrigerator 300 can be maintained for a certain period of time during a power failure or the like, but it cannot cope with a situation in which other electrical devices such as a microwave oven and a rice cooker cannot be used at all.

本発明は、係る課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、商用電源からの電力が遮断された場合でも、自機の動作を維持すると共に他の電気機器を動作させることができる冷蔵庫を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and a purpose thereof is a refrigerator that can maintain the operation of its own device and operate other electric devices even when power from a commercial power source is interrupted.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a refrigerator 100 of the present invention. 2 is a normal operation according to an embodiment, FIG. 3 is an operation when power is supplied to another electrical device according to the embodiment, and FIG. 4 is an operation during a power failure according to the embodiment. It is a flowchart explaining each.

先ず、図1を参照して冷蔵庫100の構成を説明する。冷蔵庫100は、入力端子101、AC−DC変換部102、DC−AC変換部103、負荷104、充電部105、放電部106、蓄電部107、制御部108、給電部109及び出力端子110を備えている。   First, the configuration of the refrigerator 100 will be described with reference to FIG. The refrigerator 100 includes an input terminal 101, an AC-DC conversion unit 102, a DC-AC conversion unit 103, a load 104, a charging unit 105, a discharging unit 106, a power storage unit 107, a control unit 108, a power feeding unit 109, and an output terminal 110. ing.

入力端子101は、商用電源に接続される。AC−DC変換部102は、入力端子101に供給される交流電力を直流電力に変換する。充電部105は、AC−DC変換部102から出力された直流電力を適宜昇降圧する。蓄電部107は、充電部105で適宜昇降圧された直流電力を蓄える。放電部106は、蓄電部107に蓄えられた電力を適宜昇降圧し、AC−DC変換部102の出力へ放電する。DC−AC変換部103は、AC−DC変換部102の出力及び、放電部106の出力である直流電力を交流電力へ変換する。
負荷104は、例えばコンプレッサ用モータであり、DC−AC変換部103から供給される交流電力によって動作する。給電部109は、DC−AC変換部103から出力される交流電力を他の電気機器へ供給又は遮断する。出力端子110は、給電部109と他の電気機器を接続する。制御部108は、AC−DC変換部102、充電部105、放電部106、DC−AC変換部103、給電部109の各々を制御する。
The input terminal 101 is connected to a commercial power source. The AC-DC converter 102 converts AC power supplied to the input terminal 101 into DC power. The charging unit 105 appropriately boosts and lowers the DC power output from the AC-DC conversion unit 102. The power storage unit 107 stores the DC power that is appropriately stepped up and down by the charging unit 105. Discharge unit 106 appropriately boosts and lowers the electric power stored in power storage unit 107 and discharges it to the output of AC-DC conversion unit 102. The DC-AC conversion unit 103 converts the DC power that is the output of the AC-DC conversion unit 102 and the output of the discharge unit 106 into AC power.
The load 104 is, for example, a compressor motor, and operates by AC power supplied from the DC-AC conversion unit 103. The power supply unit 109 supplies or blocks the AC power output from the DC-AC conversion unit 103 to other electrical devices. The output terminal 110 connects the power feeding unit 109 and other electrical devices. The control unit 108 controls each of the AC-DC conversion unit 102, the charging unit 105, the discharging unit 106, the DC-AC conversion unit 103, and the power feeding unit 109.

尚、AC−DC変換部102は、商用電源の供給を検出する検出器を内蔵している。又、充電部105、放電部106は、例えば昇降圧型DC−DCコンバータであり、充電部105は、蓄電部107の蓄電量を検出する検出器を内蔵している。又、蓄電部107は、例えばリチウムイオン電池等の2次電池である。又、DC−AC変換部103は、負荷電力を検出する検出器を内蔵している。又、給電部109は、DC−AC変換部103の出力と出力端子110との間を接断するスイッチを内蔵している。   The AC-DC converter 102 includes a detector that detects supply of commercial power. The charging unit 105 and the discharging unit 106 are, for example, step-up / step-down DC-DC converters, and the charging unit 105 has a built-in detector that detects the amount of power stored in the power storage unit 107. The power storage unit 107 is a secondary battery such as a lithium ion battery. Further, the DC-AC converter 103 has a built-in detector for detecting load power. The power feeding unit 109 includes a switch that connects and disconnects the output of the DC-AC conversion unit 103 and the output terminal 110.

次に、図2を参照して、冷蔵庫100の通常時の動作を説明する。入力端子101が商用電源に接続され、冷蔵庫100に電源が投入されると、AC−DC変換部102にて商用電源の供給の有無を検出し、検出値を制御部108へ伝達する。制御部108は、検出値に基いて商用電源の供給の有無を判断する(S201)。判断結果がYesの場合、すなわち商用電源が検出された場合は、AC−DC変換部102にて、蓄電部107を充電するために、商用電源の交流電力が一旦、直流に変換される(S202)。一方、判断結果がNoの場合は、図4で説明する停電時の動作に移る。   Next, the normal operation of the refrigerator 100 will be described with reference to FIG. When the input terminal 101 is connected to a commercial power source and the refrigerator 100 is turned on, the AC-DC conversion unit 102 detects the presence or absence of commercial power supply and transmits the detected value to the control unit 108. The control unit 108 determines whether commercial power is supplied based on the detected value (S201). When the determination result is Yes, that is, when the commercial power source is detected, the AC power of the commercial power source is once converted into direct current in order to charge the power storage unit 107 in the AC-DC conversion unit 102 (S202). ). On the other hand, when the determination result is No, the operation proceeds to the power failure described with reference to FIG.

次に、負荷104に対して交流電力を供給するため、DC−AC変換部103にてAC−DC変換部102から出力された直流電力が交流に変換される(S203)。その後、DC−AC変換部103の出力により、負荷104が駆動される(S204)。   Next, in order to supply AC power to the load 104, the DC power output from the AC-DC converter 102 is converted into AC by the DC-AC converter 103 (S203). Thereafter, the load 104 is driven by the output of the DC-AC conversion unit 103 (S204).

次に、充電部105により、蓄電部107の蓄電量を検出し、充電部105は、検出値を制御部108へ伝達する。制御部108は、伝達された検出値に基いて、蓄電部107の蓄電量を判断し、蓄電量が既定値以下、例えば50%以下か否かを判断する(205)。判断結果がYesの場合、すなわち蓄電量が50%以下の場合、充電部105を制御し、蓄電部107への充電を行う(S301)。一方、判断結果がNoの場合は、図3で説明する他の電気機器への給電時の動作に移る。   Next, the charging unit 105 detects the amount of power stored in the power storage unit 107, and the charging unit 105 transmits the detected value to the control unit 108. The control unit 108 determines the amount of power stored in the power storage unit 107 based on the transmitted detection value, and determines whether the power storage amount is equal to or less than a predetermined value, for example, 50% or less (205). When the determination result is Yes, that is, when the storage amount is 50% or less, the charging unit 105 is controlled to charge the power storage unit 107 (S301). On the other hand, if the determination result is No, the operation moves to the operation when power is supplied to another electrical device described in FIG.

充電部105は、蓄電部107の蓄電量を充電開始から一定時間間隔で検出し、検出値を制御部108へ伝達する。制御部108は、伝達された検出値に基いて、蓄電部107の蓄電量を判断し、蓄電量が所定値、例えば100%に達するまで、充電動作を継続するよう充電部105を制御する(S302)。   Charging unit 105 detects the amount of power stored in power storage unit 107 at regular time intervals from the start of charging, and transmits the detected value to control unit 108. The control unit 108 determines the amount of power stored in the power storage unit 107 based on the transmitted detection value, and controls the charging unit 105 to continue the charging operation until the power storage amount reaches a predetermined value, for example, 100% ( S302).

尚、蓄電部107の充電の開始及び停止処理は、充電部105による蓄電量検出値に基いて制御部108が制御する例を示したが、冷蔵庫100に、充電部105の検出値のインジケータと充電部105の充電動作をオンオフする手動のスイッチ(共に図示せず)を設けておき、使用者の判断で充電の開始及び停止を強制的に行えるようにしても良い。   In addition, although the example which the control part 108 controls the start and stop process of the electrical storage part 107 based on the electrical storage amount detection value by the charging part 105 was shown, the indicator of the detection value of the charging part 105 is shown in the refrigerator 100. A manual switch (both not shown) for turning on and off the charging operation of the charging unit 105 may be provided so that charging can be forcibly started and stopped at the user's discretion.

次に、図3を参照して、冷蔵庫100から他の電気機器への給電時の動作を説明する。
出力端子110への他の電気機器の接続の有無に応じて、DC−AC変換部103は、給電部109を介して負荷電力の変動を検出し、検出値を制御部108へ伝達する。制御部108は、検出値に基いて、負荷電力が負荷104のみによるものより増えたか否かを判断する(S401)。判断結果がNoの場合、すなわち、他の機器が接続されていないと判断した場合、DC−AC変換部103の出力が出力端子110から出力されないように、給電部109を制御して交流電力出力を停止する。一方、判断結果がYesの場合、他の機器が接続されたと判断し、蓄電部107の電力がDC−AC変換部103へ供給されるように放電部106を制御する(S402)。
Next, with reference to FIG. 3, the operation | movement at the time of the electric power feeding from the refrigerator 100 to another electric equipment is demonstrated.
Depending on whether or not another electrical device is connected to the output terminal 110, the DC-AC conversion unit 103 detects a change in load power via the power feeding unit 109 and transmits the detected value to the control unit 108. Based on the detected value, the control unit 108 determines whether or not the load power has increased from that due to only the load 104 (S401). When the determination result is No, that is, when it is determined that no other device is connected, the power supply unit 109 is controlled so that the output of the DC-AC conversion unit 103 is not output from the output terminal 110, and the AC power output To stop. On the other hand, when the determination result is Yes, it is determined that another device is connected, and the discharge unit 106 is controlled so that the power of the power storage unit 107 is supplied to the DC-AC conversion unit 103 (S402).

その後、放電された蓄電部107の電力は、DC−AC変換部103にてAC−DC変換部102の直流出力と共に交流に変換され(S403)、給電部109へ導かれ、出力端子110から交流電力が出力される(S404)。   Thereafter, the discharged electric power of the power storage unit 107 is converted into alternating current together with the direct current output of the AC-DC conversion unit 102 by the DC-AC conversion unit 103 (S403), led to the power feeding unit 109, and is exchanged from the output terminal 110. Electric power is output (S404).

次に、充電部105により、蓄電部107の蓄電量が検出され、検出値を制御部108へ伝達する。制御部108は、伝達された検出値に基いて、蓄電部107の蓄電量が既定値以下、例えば50%以下か否かを判断する(S405)。判断結果がYesの場合、すなわち蓄電量が既定値以下、例えば50%以下の場合、給電部109を制御して出力端子110からの交流電力出力を停止し(S409)、通常時の動作における蓄電部107の充電手順を実行する。一方、判断結果がNoの場合、つまり、蓄電量が十分であると判断した場合は、出力端子110への他の電気機器接続の検出手順に戻る。   Next, the charging unit 105 detects the amount of power stored in the power storage unit 107 and transmits the detected value to the control unit 108. Based on the transmitted detection value, the control unit 108 determines whether or not the amount of power stored in the power storage unit 107 is less than a predetermined value, for example, 50% or less (S405). When the determination result is Yes, that is, when the storage amount is equal to or less than a predetermined value, for example, 50% or less, the power supply unit 109 is controlled to stop the AC power output from the output terminal 110 (S409). The charging procedure of the unit 107 is executed. On the other hand, when the determination result is No, that is, when it is determined that the amount of stored electricity is sufficient, the procedure returns to the detection procedure of another electrical device connection to the output terminal 110.

尚、出力端子110への交流電力出力は、DC−AC変換部103による負荷電力検出値に基いて制御部108が制御する例を示したが、出力端子110に手動スイッチ(図示せず)を併設しておき、他の電気機器の接続、否接続に応じて、使用者が任意にオンオフ操作を行えるようにしても良い。   In addition, although the control part 108 showed the example which controls the alternating current power output to the output terminal 110 based on the load electric power detection value by the DC-AC conversion part 103, a manual switch (not shown) was shown in the output terminal 110. It is also possible that the user can arbitrarily perform an on / off operation in accordance with connection / non-connection of other electrical devices.

次に、図4を参照して、商用電源が停電した場合の冷蔵庫100の動作を説明する。冷蔵庫100に電源が投入されている状態で、S201において商用電源が供給されていないと判断された場合、制御部108は、放電部106を制御し、蓄電部107に蓄えられた電力がDC−AC変換部103へ供給されるように放電部106を制御する(S501)。   Next, with reference to FIG. 4, operation | movement of the refrigerator 100 when a commercial power supply fails is demonstrated. When it is determined in S201 that commercial power is not supplied in a state where power is supplied to the refrigerator 100, the control unit 108 controls the discharge unit 106 so that the electric power stored in the power storage unit 107 is DC−. The discharge unit 106 is controlled to be supplied to the AC conversion unit 103 (S501).

その後、AC−DC変換部102の出力と蓄電部107から放電された直流電力が、DC−AC変換部103へ供給されて交流に変換され(S502)、変換された交流電力により、負荷104が駆動されると同時に、DC−AC変換部103により変換された交流電力は、給電部109を介して出力端子110へ出力される(S503)。   Thereafter, the output of the AC-DC conversion unit 102 and the DC power discharged from the power storage unit 107 are supplied to the DC-AC conversion unit 103 and converted into AC (S502), and the load 104 is converted by the converted AC power. Simultaneously with the driving, the AC power converted by the DC-AC conversion unit 103 is output to the output terminal 110 via the power feeding unit 109 (S503).

次に、AC−DC変換部102にて商用電源の供給の有無を検出し、検出値を制御部108へ伝達する。制御部108は、検出値に基いて商用電源の供給の有無を判断する(S504)。判断結果がYesの場合、すなわち停電が解除され、商用電源が検出された場合は、図2で説明した充電時の動作に移る。   Next, the AC-DC conversion unit 102 detects whether commercial power is supplied, and transmits the detected value to the control unit 108. The control unit 108 determines whether commercial power is supplied based on the detected value (S504). When the determination result is Yes, that is, when the power failure is canceled and the commercial power source is detected, the operation proceeds to the charging operation described with reference to FIG.

一方、判断結果がNoの場合、すなわち停電が継続し、商用電源が検出されない場合、充電部105により、蓄電部107の蓄電量が検出され、検出値を制御部108へ伝達する。制御部108は、伝達された検出値に基いて、蓄電部107の蓄電量が既定値以下、例えば50%以下か否かを判断する(S505)。判断結果がYesの場合、すなわち蓄電量が既定値、例えば50%に達した時点で給電部109を制御し、出力端子110への交流電力出力を停止する。一方、判断結果がNoの場合、つまり、蓄電量が十分であると判断した場合は、放電部106を制御して、蓄電部107からDC−AC変換部103への電力の供給が継続される。   On the other hand, when the determination result is No, that is, when the power failure continues and commercial power is not detected, the charging unit 105 detects the amount of power stored in the power storage unit 107 and transmits the detected value to the control unit 108. Based on the transmitted detection value, the control unit 108 determines whether or not the amount of power stored in the power storage unit 107 is a predetermined value or less, for example, 50% or less (S505). When the determination result is Yes, that is, when the charged amount reaches a predetermined value, for example, 50%, the power feeding unit 109 is controlled, and the AC power output to the output terminal 110 is stopped. On the other hand, when the determination result is No, that is, when it is determined that the amount of stored electricity is sufficient, the discharge unit 106 is controlled and the supply of power from the power storage unit 107 to the DC-AC conversion unit 103 is continued. .

本実施形態によれば、冷蔵庫が蓄電部を有し、この蓄電部に蓄えられた電力を他の電気機器へ給電する給電部を備える。更に、蓄電部に蓄えられた電力を、自機である冷蔵庫と、給電部を介して接続された他の電気機器の双方へ供給できる。したがって、商用電源に対し、電力供給能力を上回る負荷がかかる場合でも、蓄電部に蓄えられた電力によって電力供給を補えるので、冷蔵庫と他の電気機器の双方を動作させることが可能となる。又、商用電源からの電力が遮断されても、冷蔵庫と他の電気機器の双方を動作させることが可能となる。又、商用電源からの電力が遮断された場合、蓄電部の蓄電残量に基いて給電部からの交流電力出力を停止するので、自機である冷蔵庫の動作維持時間の延長を図ることができる。   According to the present embodiment, the refrigerator includes a power storage unit, and includes a power supply unit that supplies power stored in the power storage unit to other electrical devices. Furthermore, the electric power stored in the power storage unit can be supplied to both the refrigerator as its own device and other electric devices connected via the power supply unit. Therefore, even when a load exceeding the power supply capacity is applied to the commercial power supply, the power supply can be supplemented by the electric power stored in the power storage unit, so that both the refrigerator and other electric devices can be operated. Moreover, even if the power from the commercial power source is cut off, both the refrigerator and other electric devices can be operated. In addition, when the power from the commercial power source is cut off, the AC power output from the power feeding unit is stopped based on the remaining amount of power stored in the power storage unit, so that the operation maintenance time of the refrigerator as its own machine can be extended. .

今回開示された実施形態は全ての点で例示であって制限的なものではない。本発明の範囲は上記した説明ではなく、特許請求の範囲によって示され、特許請求の範囲と均等の意味及び範囲内での全ての変更が含まれることが意図されるものである。   The embodiments disclosed herein are illustrative and non-restrictive in every respect.
