Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、空気調和機に係わり、詳しくは、室外熱交換器の中間部温度と出口温度及び圧縮機の回転数を検出し、これらの検出値より室外送風ファンの異常を検知して運転を停止し、送風ファンで冷却する発熱部品等の故障を保護する空気調和機の制御方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、空気調和機の室外機において、ファンモータの不具合により、室外送風ファンが停止した場合、一般的に室外熱交換器の温度を検出し、この温度が所定値以上に達したとき空気調和機の運転を停止するようにしていた。
室外熱交換器の負荷が大きい場合、温度上昇の検出が容易であるが、負荷が小さく、圧縮機が低回転数で、外気温が低い冷房運転の場合、室外熱交換器の温度上昇が小さく、ファンモータの不具合(停止)の検出が困難で、場合によっては、送風ファンで冷却する発熱部品等が故障する恐れがある。
【0003】
また、従来の空気調和機の制御方法として、図4及び図5に示すようなものが知られている(例えば、特許文献1)。室内機と室外機とを備えた空気調和機において、室外機の室外熱交換手段における風回路に、室外空気の吸い込み温度を検出する吸い込み温度センサ3と室外熱交換手段を通った空気の吹き出し温度を検出する吹き出し温度センサ13とを備え、また、室内機に格納されている制御装置は吸い込み温度センサ3と吹き出し温度センサ13の信号とを入力して、吸い込み温度と吹き出し温度との温度差が所定値よりも低くなったとき、室外ファンが停止したと判断して異常制御信号を出力し、室内機は異常表示部に室外機の異常発生を表示する。また、室外機は圧縮機の運転周波数を正常動作時よりも低い運転周波数に下げ、さらに、室内機は室内ファンの回転数を正常動作時より低い所定回転数に下げる。
このように、室外機の室外ファンが停止と判断したとき、それを表示するとともに、圧縮機の運転周波数を所定周波数まで下げて、電装品の負荷を低減することにより、電装品における発熱部品の破壊を防止することができる。
【0004】
次に、図5のフローチャートにより制御動作を説明すると、ステップ1において操作者が冷暖房運転を指示して運転を開始すると、ステップ2に移行して室内機の室内ファンが動作を開始すると共に、室外機の圧縮機と室外ファンとが動作を開始し、ステップ3に移行する。ステップ3〜ステップ5において、異常検出回路15が常に室外空気の吸い込み温度Tinと室外熱交換機を通った空気の吹き出し温度Tout とを測定し、その温度差(Tin−Tout )を演算し、温度差があらかじめ設定された所定の温度差値Ta より小さいか否かをチェックしている。室外機の室外ファンが停止すると熱交換が殆ど実行されないので、吸い込み温度Tinと吹き出し温度Tout との温度差が発生しない。したがって、温度差(Tin−Tout )があらかじめ設定した温度差値Ta より小さくなれば室外ファンが停止していると判断できる。この場合、ステップ6に移行し、室内機に異常制御信号を出力する。ステップ7において室内機はこの異常制御信号を入力し、異常表示部により室外機に異常が発生したことをユーザに表示する。
【0005】しかしながら、上記特許文献1の場合、室外熱交換器の負荷が小さく、圧縮機が低回転数で、外気温が低い冷房運転の場合、室外熱交換器の吸い込み温度Tinと吹き出し温度Tout との温度差が小さいため、室外ファンが動作しているにも係わらず停止したと判断し、異常が発生したという誤判定を招く恐れがある。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、上記問題点を鑑みなされたもので、冷房運転時に、室外熱交換器の中間部温度と出口温度との温度差、圧縮機の回転数、出口温度の初期温度と現在の温度差の検出値により、圧縮機の回転数が低く、外気温が低い条件下でも、室外送風ファンの異常を判断し、空気調和機の運転を停止することにより、室外送風ファンで冷却している発熱部品等の故障を防止することができる空気調和機の制御方法を提供することを目的としている。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は上記の課題を解決するため、冷凍サイクルを構成する室外熱交換器の中間部温度及び冷房運転時における出口部温度をそれぞれ検出する中間温度センサ及び出口温度センサと、検出された前記中間部温度と出口部温度の温度差を算出する温度差算出部と、この検出された温度差と予め設定された設定温度差とを比較する温度差比較部と、圧縮機の回転数を検出する回転数検出手段と、この検出された回転数と予め設定された前記圧縮機の設定回転数とを比較する回転数比較部と、前記温度差比較部及び前記回転数比較部からの出力信号により、前記圧縮機の駆動を制御する制御部とからなり、
冷房運転時に、前記中間温度センサ及び前記出口温度センサが検出した中間部温度と出口部温度の温度差が所定値以下で、次いで前記回転数検出手段が検出した圧縮機の回転数が所定値以下で、その後前記出口部温度が前記圧縮機の運転開始時から所定値上昇したら、前記圧縮機の運転を停止してなる構成となっている。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明による実施の形態を添付図面に基づいて詳細に説明する。
図1は本発明による空気調和機の冷凍サイクルを示す構成図、図2は本発明による空気調和機の制御装置を適用する制御ブロック図である。
図において、1はインバータ駆動される圧縮機、2は冷媒の流れを切り換えることにより冷房運転または暖房運転を可能とする四方弁、3は室内熱交換器、4は膨張弁(電子膨張弁)、5は室外熱交換器でありこれらにより冷凍サイクルが構成される。6は前記室外熱交換器5を冷却する室外送風ファンで、7は後述する室外機を制御するための室外制御装置(マイコン)である。
【0010】
5aは前記室外熱交換器5の中間部温度を検出する室外熱交中間温度センサで、5bは前記室外熱交換器5の冷房運転時の冷媒出口部温度を検出する室外熱交出口温度センサである。上記構成において、図1に示すように、冷房運転時に冷媒は実線矢印の方向に流れ、暖房運転時には破線矢印の方向に流れる。
【0011】
図2に示す制御ブロック図において、まず前記室外制御装置7は、前記室外熱交出口温度センサ5bが検知した温度を、前記圧縮機1が起動したときの出口初期温度Tds と、一定時間間隔毎の出口部温度Td1,Td2...とをA/D 変換して検出する室外熱交出口温度検出部7aと、前記出口初期温度Tds を記憶しておく初期温度記憶部7cと、前記室外熱交中間温度センサ5aが検知した中間部温度Tcを、一定時間間隔毎にA/D 変換して検出する室外熱交中間温度検出部7bと、所定運転後、前記中間部温度Tcと前記出口部温度Td1 との温度差ΔT を算出すると共に、その後(現在)の前記出口部温度Td2 と前記出口初期温度Tds との温度差ΔTdを算出する温度差算出部7dと、前記温度差ΔT と予め設定された所定値Tsを比較判断すると共に、前記温度差ΔTdと予め設定された所定温度差Tde とを比較判断する温度差比較部7fとから構成されている。
【0012】
更に、前記室外制御装置7は、予め設定された前記圧縮機1の所定回転数Fa(低回転数)を記憶しておく設定回転数記憶部7gと、前記圧縮機1の現在の回転数を検出する回転数検出手段1a(例えば、回転数センサ)が検出した回転数Fsと、前記所定回転数Faを比較する回転数比較部7hと、前記温度差比較部7fからの出力信号及び、前記回転数比較部7hからの出力信号に応じて前記圧縮機1を駆動制御する圧縮機駆動制御部7iとから構成されている。
【0013】
上記構成において、室外熱交換器5を冷却する室外送風ファン6が停止した場合、室外熱交換器5の熱交換効率が悪くなり、中間部温度と出口部温度との差が無くなってくるのを利用し、冷房運転時に、前記室外熱交換器5の中間部温度Tcと出口部温度Td1 との温度差ΔT が所定値Ts以下で、かつ前記圧縮機1の回転数Fsが所定値Fa以下の場合、前記出口部温度Td2 が前記圧縮機1の運転開始時の出口初期温度Tds より所定値Tde 以上上昇したら、前記圧縮機1の回転数が低く、外気温が低い条件下で、室外送風ファン6が異常であると判断し、前記圧縮機1の運転を所定時間停止することにより、室外送風ファン6で冷却している部品等の故障を防止することができる。
【0014】
次に、上記構成の制御方法の動作を図3のフローチャートを参照して説明する。冷房運転がスタートすると、圧縮機1の起動と同時に、まず、ステップST1で室外熱交換器5の出口初期温度Tds を検出し、この温度Tds を初期温度記憶部7cに記憶する(ST2)。次に、ST3で所定時間運転後の室外熱交出口部温度Td1 を検出し、ST4で室外熱交中間部温度Tcを検出して、ST5でこの中間と出口との温度差ΔT=Tc−Td1 を算出する。
そして、ST6でこの温度差ΔT が予め設定された所定値Ts以上かどうか判定され、もし以上であれば制御が正常であると判断し終了する。
【0015】
もし、温度差ΔT が所定値Ts以下の場合、ST7で圧縮機1の現在の回転数Fsを読み出し、ST8でこの回転数Fsが予め設定された所定回転数Fa以下かどうか判定され、もし以下であれば、ST9で現在の室外熱交出口部温度Td2 を検出し、ST10でこの出口部温度Td2 と記憶しておいた出口初期温度Tds との温度差ΔTd=Td2−Tds を算出する。
そして、ST11でこの温度差ΔTdが予め設定された所定温度差Tde 以上かどうか判定され、もし以上であれば室外送風ファン6が異常であると判断し、前記圧縮機1の運転を停止する。
【0016】
ST11で一旦、運転を停止することにより、室外送風ファン6で冷却している部品等の故障を防止することができる。そして、誤動作を確認するため運転を停止し、所定時間経過後に運転を再スタ−トとして、ステップST1からステップST11までの動作を繰り替えし、圧縮機1の回転数Fsが所定回転数Fa以上となり、外気温が上昇し、温度差ΔTdが所定温度差Tde 以下になれば室外送風ファン6が正常に復帰した状態と判断する。
【0017】
上記に説明したように、冷房運転時に、室外熱交換器5の中間部温度Tcと出口部温度Td1 との温度差ΔT が所定値Ts以下で、かつ圧縮機1の回転数Fsが所定値Fa以下の場合、前記出口部温度Td2 が圧縮機1の運転開始時の初期温度Tds より所定値Tde 以上上昇したら、圧縮機1の回転数が低く、外気温が低い条件下でも、室外送風ファン6が異常であると判断し、圧縮機1の運転を停止することにより、室外送風ファン6で冷却している部品等の故障を防止することができる空気調和機の制御方法となる。
【0018】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、冷房運転時に、室外熱交換器の中間部温度Tcと出口部温度Td1 との温度差ΔT が所定値Ts以下で、かつ圧縮機の回転数Fsが所定値Fa以下の場合、前記出口部温度Td2 が圧縮機の運転開始時の初期温度Tds より所定値Tde 以上上昇したら、圧縮機の回転数が低く、外気温が低い条件下でも、室外送風ファンが異常であると判断し、圧縮機の運転を停止することにより、室外送風ファンで冷却している部品等の故障を防止することができる空気調和機の制御方法となる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an air conditioner, and more specifically, detects an intermediate temperature and an outlet temperature of an outdoor heat exchanger and a rotation speed of a compressor, and detects an abnormality of an outdoor blower fan from these detected values to perform operation. The present invention relates to a control method of an air conditioner that protects a failure of a heat-generating component or the like that is stopped and cooled by a blower fan.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, in an outdoor unit of an air conditioner, when an outdoor blower fan stops due to a malfunction of a fan motor, the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger is generally detected, and when the temperature reaches a predetermined value or more, the air conditioner Had to be stopped.
When the load on the outdoor heat exchanger is large, it is easy to detect a rise in temperature.However, when the load is small, the compressor is running at a low speed, and the outdoor temperature is low, the temperature rise of the outdoor heat exchanger is small. In addition, it is difficult to detect a malfunction (stop) of the fan motor, and in some cases, a heat-generating component or the like cooled by the blower fan may be broken.
[0003]
Further, as a conventional air conditioner control method, a method as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is known (for example, Patent Document 1). In an air conditioner having an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, a suction temperature sensor 3 for detecting a suction temperature of outdoor air and a blowing temperature of air passing through the outdoor heat exchange unit are provided to a wind circuit in an outdoor heat exchange unit of the outdoor unit. And a control device stored in the indoor unit inputs the signals of the suction temperature sensor 3 and the blow-out temperature sensor 13 so that a temperature difference between the suction temperature and the blow-out temperature is detected. When it becomes lower than the predetermined value, it is determined that the outdoor fan has stopped, and an abnormality control signal is output, and the indoor unit displays an abnormality display on the abnormality display unit. Further, the outdoor unit lowers the operating frequency of the compressor to an operating frequency lower than that in the normal operation, and the indoor unit lowers the rotational speed of the indoor fan to a predetermined rotational speed lower than that in the normal operation.
As described above, when it is determined that the outdoor fan of the outdoor unit is stopped, this is displayed, and the operating frequency of the compressor is reduced to a predetermined frequency to reduce the load on the electrical component, thereby reducing the generation of heat generated by the electrical component. Destruction can be prevented.
[0004]
Next, the control operation will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 5. When the operator instructs the cooling / heating operation in step 1 and starts the operation, the process proceeds to step 2 and the indoor fan of the indoor unit starts operating, and The compressor of the compressor and the outdoor fan start operating, and the process proceeds to step 3. In steps 3 to 5, the abnormality detection circuit 15 always measures the outdoor air suction temperature Tin and the air blowing temperature Tout passing through the outdoor heat exchanger, and calculates the temperature difference (Tin-Tout). Is smaller than a predetermined temperature difference value Ta set in advance. When the outdoor fan of the outdoor unit stops, heat exchange is hardly performed, so that there is no temperature difference between the suction temperature Tin and the blow-out temperature Tout. Therefore, when the temperature difference (Tin-Tout) becomes smaller than the preset temperature difference value Ta, it can be determined that the outdoor fan has stopped. In this case, the process proceeds to step 6 and outputs an abnormality control signal to the indoor unit. In step 7, the indoor unit inputs the abnormality control signal, and displays to the user that an abnormality has occurred in the outdoor unit through the abnormality display unit.
[0005] However, in the case of Patent Document 1, when the load on the outdoor heat exchanger is small, the compressor is operated at a low rotation speed, and the outside air temperature is low, the suction temperature Tin and the outlet temperature Tout of the outdoor heat exchanger are used. Since the temperature difference between the outdoor fan and the outdoor fan is small, it is determined that the outdoor fan has stopped even though the outdoor fan is operating, which may cause an erroneous determination that an abnormality has occurred.

An object of the present invention is to provide a control method of an air conditioner that can prevent a failure of a component or the like.
[0008]

Then, when the outlet temperature rises by a predetermined value from the start of the operation of the compressor, the operation of the compressor is stopped.
[0009]

Reference numeral 6 denotes an outdoor blower fan for cooling the outdoor heat exchanger 5, and reference numeral 7 denotes an outdoor control device (microcomputer) for controlling an outdoor unit described later.
[0010]
5a is an outdoor heat exchange intermediate temperature sensor for detecting an intermediate temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger 5, and 5b is an outdoor heat exchange outlet temperature sensor for detecting a refrigerant outlet temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger 5 during a cooling operation. is there. In the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 1, the refrigerant flows in the direction of the solid arrow during the cooling operation, and flows in the direction of the dashed arrow during the heating operation.
[0011]
In the control block diagram shown in FIG. 2, first, the outdoor control device 7 compares the temperature detected by the outdoor heat exchange outlet temperature sensor 5b with the initial outlet temperature Tds when the compressor 1 is started, and at every fixed time interval.

An outdoor heat exchange intermediate temperature detecting section 7b which A / D converts the temperature Tc at predetermined time intervals and detects the temperature, and calculates a temperature difference ΔT between the intermediate temperature Tc and the outlet temperature Td1 after a predetermined operation. At the same time, a temperature difference calculator 7d that calculates a temperature difference ΔTd between the outlet temperature Td2 and the outlet initial temperature Tds (currently) compares the temperature difference ΔT with a predetermined value Ts. And a temperature difference comparing section 7f for comparing and judging the temperature difference ΔTd with a predetermined temperature difference Tde set in advance.

[0013]
In the above configuration, when the outdoor blower fan 6 that cools the outdoor heat exchanger 5 stops, the heat exchange efficiency of the outdoor heat exchanger 5 deteriorates, and the difference between the intermediate temperature and the outlet temperature disappears. During cooling operation, the temperature difference ΔT between the intermediate temperature Tc and the outlet temperature Td1 of the outdoor heat exchanger 5 is equal to or less than a predetermined value Ts, and the rotation speed Fs of the compressor 1 is equal to or less than a predetermined value Fa. In this case, when the outlet temperature Td2 rises by a predetermined value Tde or more from the outlet initial temperature Tds at the start of the operation of the compressor 1, the outdoor blower fan is operated under the condition that the rotation speed of the compressor 1 is low and the outside air temperature is low.

Is calculated.
Then, in ST6, it is determined whether or not the temperature difference ΔT is equal to or greater than a predetermined value Ts. If it is, it is determined that the control is normal, and the process ends.
[0015]
If the temperature difference ΔT is equal to or less than the predetermined value Ts, the current rotational speed Fs of the compressor 1 is read out in ST7, and it is determined in ST8 whether or not the rotational speed Fs is equal to or less than a predetermined rotational speed Fa. If this is the case, the current outdoor heat exchange outlet temperature Td2 is detected in ST9, and the temperature difference ΔTd = Td2-Tds between the outlet temperature Td2 and the stored initial outlet temperature Tds is calculated in ST10.
Then, in ST11, it is determined whether or not the temperature difference ΔTd is equal to or greater than a predetermined temperature difference Tde. If the temperature difference ΔTd is equal to or greater than Tde, it is determined that the outdoor blower fan 6 is abnormal, and the operation of the compressor 1 is stopped.
[0016]
By temporarily stopping the operation in ST11, it is possible to prevent failure of components and the like cooled by the outdoor blower fan 6. Then, the operation is stopped to confirm a malfunction, and after a predetermined time elapses, the operation is restarted, and the operation from step ST1 to step ST11 is repeated, so that the rotation speed Fs of the compressor 1 becomes equal to or higher than the predetermined rotation speed Fa. If the outside air temperature rises and the temperature difference ΔTd becomes equal to or less than the predetermined temperature difference Tde, it is determined that the outdoor blower fan 6 has returned to a normal state.
