In particular, the present invention relates to a protection device that detects refrigerant shortage in a refrigeration circuit and stops the operation of a refrigeration compressor.

FIG. 3 shows a conventional protection circuit and refrigeration circuit in a vehicle air conditioner. Refrigerator compressor (hereinafter referred to as compressor)
A part of the power of the vehicle's engine is transmitted to the electromagnetic clutch 1 via the electromagnetic clutch 5.

That is, when the excitation coil of the electromagnetic clutch 5 is energized, a pulley caused by belt disturbance is connected to the drive shaft of the compressor 1, and rotational force is applied. The excitation coil of the electromagnetic clutch 5 is connected to the ignition switch 2. Air conditioner start switch 6
, and is connected to an on-vehicle battery 4 via a temperature-sensitive fuse 6.

The refrigerant compressed by the compressor 1 is cooled by a condenser 8, passes through a receiver dryer 9, and is partially vaporized by an expansion valve 10 to become a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid.

Next, the gas exchanges heat with the air inside the vehicle in the evaporator 11 to become a low-pressure gas, and returns to the suction side of the compressor 1.

When the amount of refrigerant in the refrigeration circuit decreases due to leakage, the return of lubricating oil circulating with the refrigerant to the compressor 1 also becomes poor, causing abnormal noise.

Burn-in is more likely to occur. For this reason, a superheat detection switch 12 as shown in FIG. 4 is provided on the suction side of the compressor 1 to detect refrigerant shortage, and when detected, the temperature sensitive fuse 6 is activated to supply power to the excitation coil of the electromagnetic clutch 5. The compressor 1 is stopped by shutting off the air. This degree of superheat detection switch 12 detects when the amount of refrigerant in the refrigeration circuit decreases to below a certain amount, and the expansion valve 10, which adjusts the degree of superheat of the refrigerant to a constant level, adjusts the degree of superheat by adjusting the valve opening. This takes advantage of the fact that the degree of superheat increases in proportion to the heat load on the evaporator 11.

Specifically, when the refrigerant in the refrigeration circuit decreases due to leakage and the degree of superheat of the refrigerant at the outlet of the evaporator 11 increases, the degree of superheat of the refrigerant on the suction side of the compressor 1 also increases. In the superheat degree detection switch 12 shown in FIG. 4, the temperature sensing part 13 causes the diaphragm 14 to expand as the degree of superheat increases, so that the movable contact 15 comes into contact with the fixed contact 16. The temperature-sensitive fuse 6 is as shown in FIG.
The wire heater 7 between the lead wires 50 and 56 is energized by contact with the fixed side contact 16 and generates heat. As a result, when the molten pellet 17 in the metal case 21 melts, the compressed spring 19 pushes up the conductive plate 18 and separates the wire 52 and the conductive plate 18. In this way, wire 51 - metal case 21 - conductive plate 18
- The energizing path of the wire 52 to the excitation coil of the electromagnetic clutch 5 is cut off, and the compressor 1 is stopped. Note that 20 is an insulating bush.

Note that there is a time period from when the superheat degree detection switch 12 is turned on until the temperature-sensitive fuse 6 blows out.

This is to prevent malfunction. In other words, in a vehicle air conditioner, the degree of superheating of the refrigerant gas in the compressor 1 not only decreases in the amount of refrigerant due to leakage, but also temporarily changes when the compressor 1 starts up at high speed or when the engine speed suddenly increases. becomes abnormally high. FIG. 6 shows the superheat degree characteristics during normal operation and during refrigerant shortage. In order to prevent malfunction due to such a temporary rise phenomenon, a delay time is provided from when the superheat degree detection switch 12 is turned on until the temperature sensitive fuse 6 is blown out.

Requires a special type of temperature sensitive fuse. In addition, temperature-sensitive fuses have a short time between energizing the wire heater and blowing out.
That is, there is a drawback that the delay time fluctuates due to changes in outside temperature.
