In above-mentioned arbitrary technical scheme, described cold junction and described electronic control module fit.
The cold junction of semiconductor cooler is directly fitted with electronic control module, then the cold of cold junction output can be directly passed to electronic control module, avoids the loss in cold quantity transmission process, thus improves the utilization rate of cold, improve the radiating rate of electronic control module.Certainly; those skilled in the art is to be understood that; the cold junction of semiconductor cooler also can not fit with electronic control module; namely arrange between cold junction and electronic control module and there is certain distance; by blower fan or other devices, cold is blowed to electronic control module; or the modes such as cold quantity transmission passage are set between cold junction and electronic control module and cold are delivered to electronic control module; will not enumerate at this; all can realize the object accelerating electronic control module cooling; therefore, these technical schemes are also in protection scope of the present invention.As for the particular location of cold junction, generally be fitted in the region of electric control element dense distribution, the temperature of this region electronic control module is higher, need to improve radiating rate, and electric control element distribution is less or do not have the place of electric control element, because temperature is general not high, semiconductor cooler is not therefore needed to carry out auxiliary heat dissipation.

The air-conditioner that the embodiment of second aspect present invention provides, because being provided with the controller for heat sink of the electronic control module any one of first aspect embodiment, thus can either ensure the safe operation of electronic control module, turn avoid energy consumption waste.
In technique scheme, described air-conditioner is transducer air conditioning, and described electronic control module is frequency conversion electrical control module.
Compared to air-conditioner with fixed frequency, the heat that the frequency conversion electrical control module of transducer air conditioning produces is more, more easily there is superheating phenomenon, thus the above-mentioned controller for heat sink of frequency conversion electrical control module installation being transducer air conditioning is necessary, significantly can promote the heat-sinking capability of transducer air conditioning, make its operation lasting stability more under worst hot case, and then expand the market competitiveness of transducer air conditioning.
The embodiment of third aspect present invention provides a kind of control method of air-conditioner, for controlling the air-conditioner any one of above-mentioned second aspect embodiment, comprising: start step: control semiconductor cooler after start and run the first preset duration with pre-set current value; Detecting step: the temperature detecting electronic control module, obtains temperature value; Regulation and control step: the supply current regulating described semiconductor cooler according to described temperature value, to regulate the temperature of described electronic control module; Recheck step: interval second preset duration, returns execution detecting step.
The control method of the air-conditioner that the embodiment of third aspect present invention provides, can ensure electronic control module safe operation in the temperature range preset, thus energy consumption is little, and reliability is high.Particularly, due in the process of start, the workload of electronic control module is larger, easily rise to higher temperature in the short period of time, therefore semiconductor cooler is first allowed to run a period of time with pre-set current value after start, pre-set current value is relatively large current value, to ensure that semiconductor cooler efficiently can export cold, thus avoids electronic control module temperature in start process to rise to too high; And in the process of air-conditioner even running, then according to the observed temperature of electronic control module, specifically regulate the supply current of semiconductor cooler, or increase, or reduce, or remain unchanged, the cold exported to regulate semiconductor cooler, makes the actual needs of itself and electronic control module match, and then regulate the radiating rate of electronic control module, make the temperature of electronic control module maintain in default safe temperature range, so both ensure that the safe operation of electronic control module, turn avoid the waste of the energy; And in the process of even running, certain interval of time carries out one-time detection and regulation and control, the energy consumption waste detected and regulation and control too frequently cause can be avoided.

First preset temperature is the higher limit of electronic control module safe operation, and the second preset temperature is the lower limit of electronic control module safe operation.Due to electronic control module be in higher temperature time, exist and burn out the danger of electric control element, consequence is comparatively serious, and when being in lower temperature, then the problem of just energy consumption waste, can not have influence on the normal operation of air-conditioner, affect relatively little; Therefore first judge whether the temperature of electronic control module is less than the first preset temperature, in other words, whether higher than safe range, judge whether electronic control module is in high risk state, to make corresponding control in time, ensure the normal operation of air-conditioner; Ensureing under the prerequisite that air-conditioner normally runs, then judging whether observed temperature is less than the second preset temperature, in other words, whether lower than safe range, then making corresponding control, to avoid the waste of energy consumption; Like this, control procedure is made a distinction between the important and the lesser one, rationally reliably.As for concrete adjustment process, when the temperature value of electronic control module is too high, during beyond preset range, semiconductor cooler is needed to run with larger supply current, be specially pre-set current value, certainly be not limited to pre-set current value, to improve the radiating rate of electronic control module, its temperature be reduced in preset range gradually; If the temperature value of electronic control module is in preset range, namely the radiating rate of electronic control module is suitable, and thus the supply current of semiconductor cooler remains unchanged; If the temperature value of electronic control module is lower than preset range, then need the supply current reducing electronic control module, be specifically as follows fixing setting value, be certainly not limited to the setting value that this is fixing, suitably to reduce the radiating rate of electronic control module, its temperature is gone up gradually in preset range.
In above-mentioned arbitrary technical scheme, the control method of described air-conditioner also comprises: high temperature protection step: the temperature detecting described electronic control module after start in real time, and when the temperature of described electronic control module meets or exceeds the 3rd preset temperature, control the shutdown of described air-conditioner; Wherein, described 3rd preset temperature is greater than described first preset temperature.
3rd preset temperature is the higher limit that electronic control module can be run, and when the temperature of electronic control module is increased to this temperature, the possibility that electric control element burns out is larger.Therefore the setting of high temperature protection step; make air-conditioner when the temperature of electronic control module is increased to this temperature; can directly shut down to protect electronic control module; the situation avoiding electric control element to burn out occurs; thus further ensure the safe operation of electronic control module, further increase the security of air-conditioner.
In above-mentioned arbitrary technical scheme, described pre-set current value is the maximum supply current of described semiconductor cooler, when described semiconductor cooler runs with maximum supply current, the temperature of described electronic control module can be made to be reduced to below described first preset temperature.
Pre-set current value is set to the maximum supply current of semiconductor cooler, then semiconductor cooler is in the process of starting shooting and when electronic control module is in high temperature risk status, all farthest can carry cold, to ensure that electronic control module is lowered the temperature with the fastest speed, the possibility burnt out by electric control element drops to minimum, thus ensure that the safe operation of electronic control module; Certainly, model and the maximum supply current of semiconductor cooler should be suitable with electronic control module, during can ensure that air-conditioner runs under worst operating mode, the temperature of electronic control module also can be reduced to the first preset temperature by semiconductor cooler, below the higher limit of i.e. safe temperature, putting before this, the temperature of electronic control module could control in safe temperature range by semiconductor cooler, to ensure its functional reliability.

In the above-described embodiments, the first preset temperature is the higher limit of electronic control module 10 safe operation, and the second preset temperature is the lower limit of electronic control module 10 safe operation.Due to electronic control module 10 be in higher temperature time, exist and burn out the danger of electric control element, consequence is comparatively serious, and when being in lower temperature, then the problem of just energy consumption waste, can not have influence on the normal operation of air-conditioner, affect relatively little; Therefore first judge whether the temperature of electronic control module 10 is less than the first preset temperature, in other words, whether higher than safe range, judge whether electronic control module 10 is in high risk state, to make corresponding control in time, ensure the normal operation of air-conditioner; Ensureing under the prerequisite that air-conditioner normally runs, then judging whether observed temperature is less than the second preset temperature, in other words, whether lower than safe range, then making corresponding control, to avoid the waste of energy consumption; Like this, control procedure is made a distinction between the important and the lesser one, rationally reliably.
As for concrete adjustment process, when the temperature value of electronic control module 10 is too high, during beyond preset range, semiconductor cooler 20 is needed to run with larger supply current, be specially pre-set current value, certainly be not limited to pre-set current value, to improve the radiating rate of electronic control module 10, make its temperature be reduced to preset range gradually; If the temperature value of electronic control module 10 is in preset range, namely the radiating rate of electronic control module 10 is suitable, and thus the supply current of semiconductor cooler 20 remains unchanged; If the temperature value of electronic control module 10 is lower than preset range, then need the supply current reducing electronic control module 10, be specifically as follows fixing setting value, be certainly not limited to the setting value that this is fixing, suitably to reduce the radiating rate of electronic control module 10, its temperature is gone up gradually in preset range.
In some embodiments of the invention, as shown in Figure 2, the control method of air-conditioner also comprises:
S50, detects the temperature of electronic control module 10 in real time after start, and when the temperature of electronic control module 10 meets or exceeds the 3rd preset temperature, controls air-conditioner shutdown;
Further, described step S50 specifically comprises:
S502, detects the temperature of electronic control module 10 in real time;
S504, judges whether the temperature of electronic control module 10 is less than the 3rd preset temperature, when the temperature of electronic control module 10 is not less than the 3rd preset temperature, performs step S506, when the temperature of electronic control module 10 is less than the 3rd preset temperature, returns and performs step S502;
S506, controls air-conditioner shutdown;
Wherein, the 3rd preset temperature is greater than the first preset temperature;
In the above-described embodiments, the 3rd preset temperature is the higher limit that electronic control module 10 can be run, and when the temperature of electronic control module 10 is increased to this temperature, the possibility that electric control element burns out is larger.Therefore the setting of high temperature protection step; make air-conditioner when the temperature of electronic control module 10 is increased to this temperature; can directly shut down to protect electronic control module 10; the situation avoiding electric control element to burn out occurs; thus further ensure the safe operation of electronic control module 10, further increase the security of air-conditioner.
In some embodiments of the invention, pre-set current value is the maximum supply current of semiconductor cooler 20, when semiconductor cooler 20 runs with maximum supply current, the temperature of electronic control module 10 can be made to be reduced to below the first preset temperature.
In the above-described embodiments, pre-set current value is set to the maximum supply current of semiconductor cooler 20, then semiconductor cooler 20 is in the process of starting shooting and when electronic control module 10 is in high temperature risk status, all farthest can carry cold, to ensure that electronic control module 10 is lowered the temperature with the fastest speed, the possibility burnt out by electric control element drops to minimum, thus ensure that the safe operation of electronic control module 10; Certainly, the model of semiconductor cooler 20 and maximum supply current should be suitable with electronic control module 10, during can ensure that air-conditioner runs under worst operating mode, the temperature of electronic control module 10 also can be reduced to the first preset temperature by semiconductor cooler 20, below the higher limit of i.e. safe temperature, putting before this, the temperature of electronic control module 10 could control in safe temperature range by semiconductor cooler 20, to ensure its functional reliability.
In one particular embodiment of the present invention, air-conditioner is transducer air conditioning, and electronic control module is frequency conversion electrical control module, and the first preset temperature is 80 DEG C, and the second preset temperature is 77 DEG C, and the 3rd preset temperature is 85 DEG C.First preset duration is 3min, and the second preset duration is 20s, and setting value is Imax/20, and wherein, Imax is the maximum supply current of semiconductor cooler 20.
Experience shows, the temperature of frequency conversion electrical control module is at [77 DEG C, 80 DEG C) between time, get final product safe operation, therefore arrange [77 DEG C, 80 DEG C) be default safe temperature range, and temperature is when reaching 85 DEG C even higher, the risk that electric control element burns out is comparatively large, therefore the 3rd preset temperature is set to 85 DEG C, to ensure that electric control element can not burn out.
Certainly; those skilled in the art is to be understood that; different transducer air conditionings, the composition of its frequency conversion electrical control module is different, and material also may be different; therefore also difference is existed to the ability to bear of temperature; therefore, the first preset temperature, the second preset temperature and the 3rd preset temperature are not limited to above-mentioned numerical value, can be other numerical value; but these technical schemes all do not depart from design philosophy of the present invention and aim, therefore also in protection scope of the present invention.
Through a large amount of tests, when first preset duration is set to 3min, namely when semiconductor cooler 20 runs 3min with larger pre-set current value after receiving starting-up signal, effectively can ensure that frequency conversion electrical control module is started shooting in the process of operation under various operating mode, temperature can not reach 80 DEG C, thus effectively ensure that the safe operation of frequency conversion electrical control module in start process; When second preset duration is set to 20s, namely in the process of transducer air conditioning even running, interval 20s does one-time detection and adjustment, can ensure that the temperature of frequency conversion electrical control module fluctuates in preset range, or fluctuate in the edge of preset range, and can not rise too high or fall too low, so slightly adjust and can get back in preset range, avoid simultaneously and detect and the too frequent and energy consumption waste that causes of regulation and control.
But; those skilled in the art is to be understood that; the factors such as the temperature of the radiating rate of frequency conversion electrical control module and the model of semiconductor cooler 20, supply current, external environment are all relevant; therefore; first preset duration and the second preset duration are not limited to 3min and 20s; should specifically arrange as the case may be, but these technical schemes do not depart from design philosophy of the present invention and aim, thus in protection scope of the present invention yet.
Proved by test of many times, when setting value is set to Imax/20, the temperature of frequency conversion electrical control module can be made to go up in preset temperature range gradually, and the supply current of semiconductor cooler 20 can be reduced to 0, namely, when the temperature of frequency conversion electrical control module is too low, semiconductor cooler 20 can be made to quit work.
Certainly; those skilled in the art is to be understood that; this is also relevant with factors such as the temperature of the model of semiconductor cooler 20, supply current, external environment; therefore; setting value is also not limited to Imax/20; should specifically arrange as the case may be, but these technical schemes do not depart from design philosophy of the present invention and aim yet, therefore in protection scope of the present invention yet.
