PURPOSE:To prevent an excessive rise in temperature of the coil of the motor for the compressor in an air conditioner with a compressor and protect the compressor surely even after the start of the compressor or when the refrigerant in circulation has decreased in quantity. CONSTITUTION:A thermistor 7 is provided in the outer casing of a compressor 1 and close to the high pressure side outlet inside the casing and a thermistor 8 is provided in the discharge line from the compressor. After the start of the compressor and also when the detection value by the thermistor 7 exceeds the detection value by the thermistor 8 by a specific value or more, control to stop and protect the compressor and control to adjust the opening in a throttle mechanism are done on the basis of the detection value of the thermistor 7. This method makes it possible to prevent an excessive rise in temperature of the coil of the motor and surely protect the compressor even when, after the start of the compressor or because of decrease of the quantity of the refrigerant in circulation, the temperature of the coil of the motor rises sharply relative to the temperature of the discharged gas.

2. Description of the Related Art As a prior art relating to the present invention, first, as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-93359, a compressor malfunctions by detecting the temperature or pressure at a predetermined position in a refrigeration cycle. There is a technology for surely protecting the compressor by stopping the compressor in a severe operating condition such as the occurrence of. The severe operating condition in which an abnormality occurs in the compressor refers to an operating state in which, for example, a discharge pressure exceeding the specifications of the compressor or an abnormal increase in the compressor motor winding temperature occurs. The above-mentioned Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-93359 aims to protect the discharge pressure, whereas the compressor motor winding temperature is protected by detecting the discharge gas temperature, and when this exceeds a predetermined value. A general control method is to stop the compressor.

Next, as another prior art related to the present invention, as shown in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-69069, when the discharge gas temperature satisfies a predetermined condition, an opening degree like an electronically controlled expansion valve is provided. By controlling an adjustable throttling mechanism, there is a technique for ensuring an appropriate usage condition within the specification range of the compressor. In this Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 62-69069, the throttle mechanism is controlled by using the discharge gas temperature in order to adjust the refrigerant flow rate in the bypass pipe, but in order to control the opening degree of the main expansion mechanism of the refrigeration cycle. In consideration of the fact that the discharge gas temperature significantly changes depending on the discharge pressure, a general method is to control the throttle mechanism by using the discharge gas superheat degree instead of controlling the opening degree only by the discharge gas temperature.

However, in the above-mentioned prior art, since the discharge gas refrigerant temperature is used for the protection of the compressor or the opening control of the throttle mechanism, there are the following problems.

First, at the time of starting the compressor, the temperature of the electric motor winding and the temperature of the outer shell of the compressor are low, and in particular, the temperature of the electric motor winding is cooled by a high pressure gas refrigerant, which is a closed type high pressure chamber type compression. In the machine, since the amount of heat corresponding to the heat capacity of the outer shell of the compressor is taken from the discharge gas, the temperature rise speed of the discharge gas becomes slow, whereas the temperature rise speed of the motor winding may be very fast. In this case,
There are two adverse effects.

(1) When the compressor is stopped by detecting an abnormal rise in the discharge gas temperature, the motor winding temperature has already risen beyond the allowable limit, which lowers the reliability of the compressor.

(2) Since the discharge pressure generally rises rapidly with respect to the discharge gas temperature rising speed at the time of starting the compressor, the calculated value of the discharge gas superheat degree is apparently very low. When the aperture control of the throttle mechanism is performed using this discharge gas superheat calculation value, the aperture is controlled in the throttle direction to operate so as to raise the discharge gas superheat to a predetermined value. The amount of refrigerant circulation is reduced, the cooling capacity of the motor winding is reduced, and further the temperature increase of the motor winding is promoted to reduce the reliability of the compressor.

Secondly, when the amount of the refrigerant sealed in the refrigeration cycle is small, or when a large amount of the liquid refrigerant remains in the outdoor heat exchanger immediately after the defrosting operation required when the heat pump cycle is formed. Is the same as the above because the amount of refrigerant circulation decreases and the cooling capacity of the motor winding decreases, and the amount of heat radiated from the compressor shell per unit amount of refrigerant is large and the rise in discharge gas temperature is low. Due to the phenomenon, there is a problem that the reliability of the compressor is reduced.

The object is to detect the temperature of the gas discharged from the compressor, and a first temperature detecting means provided to detect the temperature of the outer shell in the vicinity of the high pressure discharge portion inside the compressor. By providing the second temperature detecting means provided in the discharge side pipe line, and selecting each temperature detection value and using it for control, the following can be achieved.

That is, the temperature detection value of the first temperature detecting means detects the temperature of the high-pressure refrigerant gas before the cooling of the electric motor for the compressor and the radiation of heat from the outer shell of the compressor. Even when the circulation amount is small, the temperature rises promptly like the temperature rise of the electric motor winding, whereas the temperature detection value of the second temperature detecting means is affected by cooling of the electric motor and heat radiation from the outer shell to raise the temperature. It has the characteristic of slow speed. On the other hand, regarding the behavior after the temperature rise becomes steady, the temperature detection value of the first temperature detecting means is likely to change due to the fluctuation of the indoor and outdoor loads, whereas the temperature detection value of the second temperature detecting means changes. When the opening degree control is used, more stable control becomes possible by using the temperature detection value of the second temperature detecting means. Therefore, as the predetermined selection conditions, (1) a predetermined period after the start of operation of the compressor,
Alternatively, (2) the temperature detection value of the first temperature detection means is
A period in which the temperature detection value of the second temperature detection unit is higher than a predetermined temperature difference is set, and the temperature detection value of the first temperature detection unit is set to prevent the motor winding temperature from rising excessively during the period when this condition is met. Used for control (compressor stops at a predetermined value) and throttle mechanism opening control (maintaining discharge gas superheat at a predetermined value), (1), (2)
If the temperature detection value of the second temperature detecting means is used during the periods other than the above, it is possible to reliably prevent the motor winding temperature from excessively rising and protect the compressor as compared with the conventional case.

When the superheat of suction gas of the compressor is low and liquid return occurs, the temperature detection value of the first temperature detecting means provided in the outer shell of the compressor is equal to the temperature of the second temperature detecting means. It may be lower than the detected value. In such a refrigeration cycle, when the higher temperature detection value of the temperature detection values of the first or second temperature detection means reaches a predetermined value in order to prevent the motor winding temperature from rising excessively, compression is performed. A control means for stopping the compressor can be considered, and the compressor can be protected more reliably.

FIG. 2 shows a cycle system diagram of the air conditioner of one embodiment of the present invention. When performing a cooling operation, the high-pressure gas refrigerant discharged from the compressor 1 reaches the outdoor heat exchanger 2 through the four-way switching valve 6 and exchanges heat with the outside air to become a high-pressure liquid refrigerant. This high-pressure liquid refrigerant reaches the electronic expansion valve 3, is decompressed and expanded to become a low-pressure two-phase refrigerant, flows into the indoor heat exchanger 4, takes heat from the air in the air-conditioned room, and becomes a low-pressure gas. This low-pressure gas again passes through the four-way switching valve 6 to reach the accumulator 5, is sucked into the compressor 1 and is compressed into a high-pressure gas refrigerant, and this cycle is repeated thereafter. In this embodiment, it is possible to switch the four-way switching valve 6 and send the high pressure refrigerant gas to the indoor heat exchanger 4 to form a heat pump cycle. The compressor 1 is a high pressure chamber type,
The thick arrows on the left and right of the compressor 1 indicate the flow direction of the refrigerant. That is, in FIG. 2, the refrigerant is sucked from the right side of the compressor 1 and discharged from the left side. In FIG. 2, the compressor thermistor 7 installed in the upper part of the compressor 1 is installed in the outer shell near the high-pressure discharge part inside the compressor 1, and the temperature of the high-pressure gas inside the compressor 1 can be immediately detected. There is. The discharge pipe thermistor 8 installed in the discharge pipe is the compressor 1
The temperature of the discharge gas refrigerant after cooling the electric motor and radiating heat through the outer shell of the compressor 1 is detected. The electronic expansion valve opening control mechanism 10 calculates the discharge gas superheat degree from the discharge pressure detection value of the pressure sensor 9 and the temperature detection value of the compressor thermistor 7 or the discharge pipe thermistor 8 which is selected by the following control operation. Then, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 3 is controlled to maintain it at a predetermined value. When the detected temperature value of the selected one of the compressor thermistor 7 and the discharge pipe thermistor 8 reaches a predetermined value, the temperature of the motor winding is overheated and the compressor is stopped.

The control operation in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Period until time t 2 when the time t 0 the discharge pipe temperature T d and the compressor is started in is stabilized as shown in FIG. 1, a thermistor installed near the high pressure discharge portion of the compressor winding temperature and the outside of the compressor shell The temperature T c0 of the 7th part (indicated by a broken line in FIG. 2) rises quickly, and the discharge pipe temperature T d rises slowly. This is because after the refrigerant is discharged from the discharge port inside the compressor 1, heat is taken by the low temperature portion of the compressor motor and the compressor outer shell. After a predetermined time t 1 has elapsed in this embodiment, to time t 2 the temperature difference T c0 and T d reaches a predetermined value the T c0 as a temperature detection value for the motor windings protection and discharge gas superheat operation Used, and then T c0
While the temperature difference between T d and T d is within a predetermined value, T d is used as the temperature detection value until time t 3 when the compressor stops.

According to the present embodiment, during the period in which the motor winding temperature rises rapidly after the compressor is started, Tc0 having the same rising speed is taken in as the temperature detection value, so that the motor winding temperature is overheated. The effect is that rising can be prevented. Further, since the discharge gas superheat degree does not become an excessively small calculated value with respect to a predetermined value, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 3 is excessively narrowed to reduce the refrigerant circulation amount, which promotes the rise of the motor winding temperature. The effect is that it can be avoided. Furthermore, since T d is used as a temperature detection value after it has stabilized, a stable change in the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 3 is small with respect to T c0 which tends to fluctuate as shown in FIG. The effect is that the operation can be continued.

Next, control operations such as when the refrigerant circulation amount is transiently reduced during operation such as after the defrosting operation is completed or when the refrigerant is underfilled are shown in the period from t 4 to t 5 in FIG. As described above, similarly to the above, the temperature difference between T c0 and T d opens above a predetermined value. This is because when the refrigerant circulation amount is small, the amount of heat per unit amount of refrigerant radiated from the compressor motor or radiated from the compressor outer shell increases. In this embodiment, when T c0 becomes higher than T d by exceeding the predetermined temperature difference, T c0 is used as a temperature detection value for motor winding protection and discharge gas superheat calculation. I will. Therefore, as in the case of starting the compressor, it is effective in preventing the motor winding temperature from rising excessively and optimizing the opening control of the electronic expansion valve 3.

According to the present invention, after the compressor is started and the refrigerant circulation amount is reduced, the temperature detection value of the first temperature detecting means provided near the high pressure discharge portion inside the compressor is the discharge gas temperature. When it becomes higher than the temperature detection value of the second temperature detection means for detecting the temperature, the temperature detection value of the first temperature detection means is used to protect the compressor motor winding temperature from excessive rise and open the throttle mechanism. Degree control can be performed. Therefore, even after the compressor is started and when the refrigerant circulation amount decreases and the motor winding temperature becomes extremely higher than the discharge gas temperature, it is possible to prevent the motor winding temperature from rising excessively, and to ensure the compressor.
