Detailed Description
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below.
As described in the beijing technology, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is prone to water accumulation due to the environment and other reasons, and once water accumulation occurs, part of electronic components in the outdoor unit of the air conditioner may be damaged, and finally, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner may fail.
However, at present, in the air conditioner outdoor unit, a circuit for detecting the water level is not provided, or a related sensor, such as a liquid level sensor, is directly provided, but the price of the liquid level sensor is high, which may cause the overall cost of the air conditioner to increase.
In view of this, in order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a water level detection circuit, which detects a water level in a circuit manner, and alarms when the water level reaches a certain height, thereby avoiding detection in a sensor manner, and saving cost.
The following is an exemplary description of the water level detection circuit provided in the present application:
as an implementation manner, referring to fig. 1, the water level detection circuit 100 includes an MCU130(Microcontroller Unit), a signal detection Unit 110, a signal transmission Unit 120, and an alarm Unit 140, wherein the signal detection Unit 110, the signal transmission Unit 120, the MCU130, and the alarm Unit 140 are electrically connected in sequence, the signal detection Unit 110 includes a first electrode 114 and a second electrode 115, and the first electrode 114 and the second electrode 115 are disposed at a distance, wherein when the water level does not submerge the first electrode 114 and the second electrode 115 at the same time, the signal detection Unit 110 transmits a first signal to the MCU130 through the signal transmission Unit 120; when the water level submerges the first electrode 114 and the second electrode 115 at the same time, the signal detection unit 110 transmits a second signal to the MCU130 through the signal transmission unit 120. And when the MCU130 receives the second signal, the MCU130 controls the alarm unit 140 to alarm.
In order to detect whether water is accumulated, the first electrode 114 may be located at a preset height, where the preset height is an alarm water level line, for example, the first electrode 114 is disposed in a cavity of an external machine compressor and is located at a position H away from a chassis. This height H can be adjusted according to actual conditions to when guaranteeing that the water level of ponding is less than height H, the outer machine of air conditioner can not damage.
Optionally, as an implementation manner, the second electrode 115 and the first electrode 114 have a certain height difference in the horizontal direction, and the second electrode 115 is lower than the first electrode 114. When the outdoor unit is soaked with water, the water level in the compressor cavity rises, at this time, the water level firstly submerges the second electrode 115, however, the water level does not submerge the first electrode 114, which indicates that the normal operation of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is not affected although the accumulated water exists at this time, and at this time, the alarm is not given. When the water level gradually rises until the first electrode 114 is submerged, the first electrode 114 and the second electrode 115 are simultaneously submerged by the accumulated water, and the non-pure water has conductivity and the accumulated water is non-pure water, so that the first electrode 114 and the second electrode 115 are conducted at this time, and the signal detection unit 110 transmits the second signal to the MCU130 through the signal transmission unit 120.
As another implementation, the first electrode 114 is at the same level as the second electrode 115. When the water level submerges the first electrode 114 and the second electrode 115 at the same time, the signal detection unit 110 transmits the second signal to the MCU130 through the signal transmission unit 120, and the working principle is the same as the above implementation, which is not described herein again.
When the MCU130 receives the second signal, the alarm unit 140 may be controlled to alarm, thereby reminding the user to check the state of the outdoor unit, and preventing the outdoor unit of the air conditioner from being damaged due to further rising of the water level.
It can be understood that, the water level detection circuit 100 provided in the present application is provided with the signal detection unit 110, and the signal detection unit 110 includes the first electrode 114 and the second electrode 115, so that the detection of the accumulated water level can be realized through the first electrode 114 and the second electrode 115. And adopt the mode of circuit to realize the detection of ponding water level in this application, and need not to increase devices such as sensor, therefore the cost can be controlled.
As an implementation manner, please refer to fig. 2, the signal detecting unit 110 includes a switching tube assembly 111, a driving power source 113 and a driving resistor 112, a first end of the switching tube assembly 111 is electrically connected to one end of the driving power source 113 and one end of the driving resistor 112, a second end of the switching tube assembly 111 is electrically connected to the other end of the first electrode 114 and the other end of the driving resistor 112, a third end of the switching tube assembly 111 is grounded, the switching tube assembly 111 is further electrically connected to the signal transmitting unit 120, and the second electrode 115 is grounded; when the water level does not submerge the first electrode 114 and the second electrode 115 at the same time, the switching tube assembly 111 is turned on to transmit a first signal to the MCU130 through the signal transmission unit 120; when the water level submerges the first electrode 114 and the second electrode 115 at the same time, the switching tube assembly 111 is turned off to transmit the second signal to the MCU130 through the signal transmission unit 120.
By providing the switching tube assembly 111, when the water level submerges the first electrode 114 at the same time and the water level does not submerge the electrodes at the same time, the signals transmitted to the MCU130 through the signal transmission unit 120 are not uniform, thereby achieving the detection of the water level. Meanwhile, the signal detection unit 110 is implemented only by simple devices such as the switching tube assembly 111, the driving power source 113, and the driving resistor 112, and thus the cost thereof is controlled.
The driving power source 113 provided in the present application supplies power with weak current, and for example, the voltage of the driving power source 113 is 3.3V.
On the basis, referring to fig. 3, optionally, the switching tube assembly 111 includes a first transistor Q1 and a second transistor Q2, a collector of the first transistor Q1 is electrically connected to the driving power source 113 and the driving resistor 112, respectively, a base of the first transistor is electrically connected to the first electrode 114 and the driving resistor 112, respectively, an emitter of the first transistor Q1 is electrically connected to an emitter of the second transistor Q2 and the signal transmission unit 120, respectively, a base of the second transistor is also electrically connected to the first electrode 114 and the driving resistor 112, respectively, and a collector of the second transistor Q2 is grounded. When the water level does not submerge the first electrode 114 and the second electrode 115 at the same time, the first transistor Q1 is turned on, the second transistor Q2 is turned off to transmit the first signal to the MCU130 through the signal transmission unit 120, and when the water level submerges the first electrode 114 and the second electrode 115 at the same time, the first transistor Q1 is turned off to transmit the second signal to the MCU130 through the signal transmission unit 120.
As shown in fig. 3, a represents the first electrode 114, B represents the second electrode 115, and for convenience of description, an equivalent resistor Rx is present between the first electrode 114 and the second electrode 115, and the resistance of the equivalent resistor Rx is variable. Meanwhile, an intersection of the first electrode 114, the driving resistor 112, the first transistor Q1, and the second transistor Q2 is named as a midpoint Va, an intersection between an emitter of the first transistor Q1 and an emitter of the second transistor Q2 is named as a midpoint Vb, and the midpoint Vb is electrically connected to the signal transmission unit 120.
On this basis, the working principle of the signal detection unit 110 is as follows:
in the case where water is not accumulated normally, the first electrode 114 and the second electrode 115 are blocked by air, and the resistance Rx of the equivalent resistor Rx is ∞, Va is Vcc at this time, and Va is high. At this time, the first transistor Q1 is turned on, the second transistor Q2 is turned off, and Vb is at a high level, so that the signal transmission unit 120 receives a high level signal.
When the water accumulation condition occurs and the height of the water accumulation reaches the preset height, the water level simultaneously submerges the first electrode 114 and the second electrode 115, the resistance value of the equivalent resistor Rx is no longer infinite, and the circuit is conducted due to the ion motion between the first electrode 114 and the second electrode 115, Va is Rx Vcc/(R1+ Rx), and Va becomes low level. On this basis, the first transistor Q1 is turned off, Vb is at low level, and therefore the signal transmission unit 120 receives a low level signal. Therefore, the effect that when the accumulated water reaches the preset height and does not reach the preset height, the signals received by the signal transmission unit 120 are different is achieved.
It should be noted that, when water is not accumulated, the first triode Q1 is turned on, the second triode Q2 is turned off, and the bases of the first triode Q1 and the second triode Q2 are both connected to the point Va, so that the first triode Q1 and the second triode Q2 need to be different triodes, in this application, the first triode Q1 is an NPN-type triode, and the second triode Q2 is a PNP-type triode.
In addition, in order to achieve the filtering effect, the signal detecting unit 110 provided by the present application further includes a first capacitor C1, one end of the first capacitor C1 is grounded, and the other end of the first capacitor C1 is electrically connected to the second end of the switching tube assembly 111. That is, one end of the first capacitor C1 is grounded, and the other end is connected to the point Va, so as to achieve the filtering effect on the driving power source 113.
Of course, in other embodiments, other signal detecting units 110 may be used, for example, a water level switch may be used instead of the detecting electrode.
As an implementation manner, the signal transmission unit 120 includes an optical coupler O1, a transmission circuit and a driving power source 113, the optical coupler O1 is electrically connected to the signal detection unit 110 and the transmission circuit respectively, the transmission circuit is electrically connected to the driving power source 113 respectively, and the transmission circuit is grounded; the optical coupler O1 is used for receiving the signal of the signal detection unit 110 and transmitting the processed signal to the MCU130 through a transmission circuit.
Through the mode that sets up opto-coupler O1, realized utilizing opto-coupler O1 to keep apart the transmission sampling signal, the security is higher.
Optionally, the signal transmission unit 120 further includes a first resistor R1, the optocoupler O1 includes a light emitting diode and a light receiving transistor, the first resistor R1 is electrically connected to the signal detection unit 110 after being connected in series with the light emitting diode, and the light receiving transistor is electrically connected to the transmission circuit.
The transmission circuit comprises a second resistor R2, a third resistor R3 and a fourth resistor R4, one end of the second resistor R2 is electrically connected with the driving power supply 113, the other end of the second resistor R2 is electrically connected with one end of a third resistor R3 of the optical coupler O1 respectively, the other end of the third resistor R3 is electrically connected with the MCU130, one end of the fourth resistor R4 is electrically connected with the optical coupler O1, and the other end of the fourth resistor R4 is grounded. In an alternative embodiment, in order to filter the driving power, the transmission circuit further includes a second capacitor C2, one end of the second capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the MCU and the third resistor R3, respectively, and the other end of the second capacitor C2 is grounded.
Based on the circuit of the signal detection unit 110, the circuit structure provided by the present application is:
the anode of the light emitting diode is electrically connected with the midpoint Vb, the cathode of the light emitting diode is electrically connected with one end of the first resistor R1, and the other end of the first resistor R1 is grounded. The collector of the light receiving triode is respectively and electrically connected with the second resistor R2 and the third resistor R3, the emitter of the light receiving triode is connected with one end of the fourth resistor R4, and the other end of the fourth resistor R4 is grounded.
The working principle of the signal transmission unit 120 is as follows:
when the water level does not submerge the first electrode 114 and the second electrode 115 at the same time, the point Vb is at a high level, the light emitting diode of the optocoupler O1 is turned on to emit light, the light receiving triode is turned on accordingly, the voltage of the midpoint Vc in the figure is approximately equal to R4 × Vcc/(R3+ R4), the voltage of Vc is pulled low, and the MCU130 receives the low level to judge that there is no bubble water (accumulated water). In other words, the first signal is a low level signal.
When the water level submerges the first electrode 114 and the second electrode 115 at the same time, the point Vb is a low level, the optocoupler O1 is not conducted, Vc is Vcc, and the MCU130 receives a high level to determine that the external unit is immersed in water. The second signal described herein is a high level signal.
Of course, in other embodiments, the signal transmission unit 120 may also be directly driven by a triode type driving method instead of using the optical coupler O1 for isolation, which is not limited herein.
