Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control the r.p.m. of a fan motor in each operation mode to a design target value, i.e., an optimal r.p.m., at the time of normal operation and to control the r.p.m. in low speed operation mode (L) higher than the r.p.m. at the time of normal operation by a specified amount so that a lower limit r.p.m. can be ensured only at the time of power reduction. SOLUTION: At the time of heating operation, an operation control section 22 monitors the drive current value being measured at a current value measuring section 23 constantly and when the measured drive current value is not higher than a first reference current value indicative of the initial overload operating state of a refrigerant compressor 1, r.p.m. of an indoor side fan 31 at the time of low speed operation and intermediate speed operation is controlled by an appropriate r.p.m. at the time of normal operation. Only when the measured drive current value exceeds the first reference current value, r.p.m. of an indoor side fan 31 at the time of low speed operation and intermediate speed operation is controlled by the r.p.m. for power reduction.

Further, the operation control means determines the rotational speed of the indoor fan during low speed operation and medium speed rotation only when the drive current value measured by the current value measuring means exceeds the first reference current value. It is configured to control at each rotation speed corresponding to power reduction. This makes it possible to prevent the refrigerant compressor from entering the overload operation state in advance at the time of power reduction when the voltage of the commercial power supply drops, and also to prevent the fan motor from operating during normal operation and power reduction. The rotation speed in each operation mode (H, M, L) can be controlled at an appropriate ratio. Therefore, even when the power is reduced, the air volume during low-speed operation and during medium-speed operation can be appropriately controlled, which gives the user the illusion that the air volume control of the air conditioner is out of order. Problems can be resolved.

The operation control unit 22 constantly monitors the drive current value measured by the current value measuring unit 23 during the heating operation, and the measured drive current value indicates the initial overload operation state of the refrigerant compressor 1. When the value is equal to or less than the first reference current value shown (for example, 10 A), the rotation speed of the indoor fan 31 during low speed operation and medium speed rotation is set to the appropriate rotation speed during normal operation that is not in the overload operation state ( When the measured drive current value exceeds the first reference current value by controlling each (according to the table shown in FIG. 3B), the rotation speeds of the indoor fan 31 during low speed operation and medium speed rotation are determined. A second reference current value (for example, a second reference current value that is controlled at each rotation speed corresponding to the power reduction (according to the table shown in FIG. 3A) and whose measured drive current value is set higher than the first reference current value (for example, 12 A, etc., the outdoor fan The rotation of 1 performs control to stop.

Next, the rationale for performing such control will be described. When the power is reduced during the heating operation, the rotation speed of the indoor fan 31 is reduced. However, if the operation mode of the indoor fan 31 is the low speed operation mode (L) at this time, the rotation of the indoor fan 31 is reduced. The number will drop below 900 rpm. Therefore, sufficient heat exchange is not performed in the indoor heat exchanger 3, and as a result, the load on the refrigerant compressor 1 increases and the drive current value increases. That is, by monitoring the change in the drive current value of the refrigerant compressor 1, the change in the load state of the refrigerant compressor 1 can be grasped. Therefore, in the present invention, control is performed by paying attention to the change in the drive current value so as to prevent the refrigerant compressor 1 from being in an overload operation state as much as possible during power reduction.

More specifically, the drive current value is 10 A.
When it exceeds (amperes), the refrigerant compressor 1 enters the initial overload operation state (more accurately, a state just before entering the actual overload operation state). Set as the reference current value. When the drive current value exceeds 12 A (ampere), the refrigerant compressor 1 enters the actual overload operation state.
Is set as the second reference current value. Further, in the present embodiment, when the drive current value that is 10 A or more or 12 A or more decreases to 8 A or less, it is determined that the overload operation state of the refrigerant compressor 1 has been eliminated.

That is, the indoor fan 31 at that time
When the operation mode of 1 is the low speed operation mode (L), an instruction signal that causes the rotation speed of the indoor fan 31 to be 1000 rpm is output to the fan motor. That is, the reason why the drive current value exceeds 10 A is that the actual rotation speed of the indoor fan 31 is reduced to 900 rpm or less, which is the set rotation speed in the low speed operation mode (L), due to power reduction or the like. , At that time, the rotation of the indoor fan 31 is 10
By outputting an instruction signal such as 00 rpm to the fan motor, it is intended to secure 900 rpm as the actual rotation speed. As a result, normally, it is possible to prevent the refrigerant compressor 1 from reaching the overload operation state.

When the operation mode of the indoor fan 31 is changed from the low speed operation mode (L) to the medium speed operation mode (M), the rotation speed of the indoor fan 31 is 1150.
An instruction signal for rpm is output to the fan motor. As a result, the actual number of rotations is 1050 to 110
Since about 0 rpm can be secured, the user can feel that the operation mode of the indoor fan 31 is changed from the low speed operation mode (L) to the medium speed operation mode (M) from the change of the air volume. You can know as

After that, the operation control unit 22 refers to the rotation control table for power reduction 241, which is stored in the storage unit 24, and continues the rotation control of the indoor fan 31 while operating the current measuring unit 23. It is confirmed whether the measured drive current value is 8 A or less, and whether the drive current value measured by the current measuring unit 23 is further increased and exceeds 12 A (steps S6 and S7). .

On the other hand, when the rotation speed of the indoor fan 31 is increased and controlled in step S5, the overload operation state of the refrigerant compressor 1 is canceled and the drive current value is reduced to 8 A or less (step). If it is determined to be Yes in S6), the operation control unit 22 starts the storage unit 2 from that time point.
The rotation control table 242 for normal time stored in No. 4 is referred to, and the rotation control of the indoor fan 31 is performed. Further, by stopping the rotation of the outdoor fan 51, the overload condition to the refrigerant compressor 1 is canceled and the drive current value is reduced to 8 A or less (the determination in step S7 is Yes).

Therefore, even when the power is reduced, the air volume during low-speed operation and during medium-speed operation can be appropriately controlled, which gives the user the illusion that the air volume control of the air conditioner is out of order. Problems can be resolved. Further, when the overload operation state is continued even when the control is performed at the rotation speed corresponding to the power reduction and the drive current value measured by the current value measuring means exceeds the second reference current value, the outdoor fan Since the rotation is stopped, it is possible to more surely avoid the overload operation state and quickly return to the normal operation state.
