The apparatus and method of control reciprocal compressor
Technical field
Present invention relates in general to a kind of apparatus and method that are used to control reciprocal compressor, particularly relate to the open/close apparatus and method of a kind of control discharge passage, this discharge passage is the passage of reciprocal compressor discharging refrigerant.
Background technique
In general, reciprocal compressor is used for various forms of refrigerators, and is different with rotary compressor, and it is a kind of compressor that produces and discharge high-pressure refrigerant by reciprocal compression process.
Hereinafter, will a kind of conventional method of controlling conventional reciprocating formula compressor be described with reference to figure 1 and Fig. 2.
Fig. 1 is the partial view of a conventional reciprocating formula compressor.Fig. 2 is the skeleton diagram of a conventional reciprocating formula compressor control method.
With reference to figure 1, reciprocal compressor comprises 101, one of sealed cases usually and is used for sucking compression chamber with compressed refrigerant and then discharging refrigerant and a drive unit that produces power.
More particularly, compression chamber comprises cylinder 103, cylinder head 109, and piston 107.Cylinder 103 is furnished with compression chamber 100.Cylinder head 109 is furnished with and is used for suction and expulsion valve that the suction and the discharge of refrigeration agent are led, and the top of itself and cylinder 103 links together simultaneously.Piston 107 is contained in and produces the linear reciprocating motion in the cylinder 103.
Drive unit comprises circular inner core 105, outer core 104 and permanent magnet 102a.Circular inner core 105 is enclosed within on the cylinder 103.Outer core 104 be positioned at inner core 105 on the space of a segment distance, and be furnished with coil 106, coil 106 twines round inner core 105, generation magnetic field when being carried on the coil 106 with convenient electric current.Permanent magnet 102a inner core 105 and outside between the core 104.Permanent magnet 102a is by mover 102 fixed supports, and piston 107 is also by mover 102 fixed supports.The bottom of mover 102 stretches out and forms projection 112.The displacement distance sensor 113 that moves through of projection 112 detects.Just displacement distance sensor 113 can detect the move distance of piston 107 by the move distance that detects projection 112.
Hereinafter, will the operation of reciprocal compressor be described.When electric current is loaded on the coil 106 when producing magnetic field, is carried in coil 106 and permanent magnet 102a by electric current and goes up a certain amount of magnetic force that produces and to act on the permanent magnet 102a.Yet because the electric current that is carried on the coil 106 is Ac (AC), so the field pole direction that coil 106 produces is cyclically-varying, so permanent magnet 102a periodically moves back and forth.In this case, the mover 102 of fixed support permanent magnet 102a moves with permanent magnet 102a, by the piston 107 of mover 102 fixed supports also along with mover 102 moves reciprocatingly, thereby realize that reciprocal compressor sucks and the process of compression.
Label 108 expression be a resonant spring, it can along piston 107 about both direction resonate, and make the reciprocation of piston 107.What label 111 was represented is absorbing silencer, is used for reducing reciprocal compressor in sucking operating process, the suction noise that produces when low pressure refrigerant is drawn into reciprocal compressor.What label 111a represented is suction pipe, is that reciprocal compressor is at the passage that sucks motion of operating process low pressure refrigerant and inflow reciprocal compressor.What label 110 was represented is vent silencer, is used for reducing high-pressure refrigerant and sucks in the operating process at reciprocal compressor, is compressed the discharge noise that produces when being discharged to the reciprocal compressor outside then in compression chamber.What label 110a represented is discharge pipe, is reciprocal compressor in sucking operating process, the discharge passage that compressed high-pressure refrigerant sucks and carries in compression chamber.
Next, with reference to Fig. 2 the conventional method of control conventional reciprocating formula compressor is illustrated.
In general, the method of control conventional reciprocating formula compressor 200 is to detect the motion of piston 107 by displacement distance sensor 113 as shown in Figure 1, discern and measure the motion of piston 107 with control gear 201, if excessive motion appears in piston 107, just with control gear 201 control power switchs 202.Correspondingly, cut off and connect the operation that the electric current that is carried on the coil 106 realizes controlling reciprocal compressor so respectively by cutting off and connect the power supply of supplying with reciprocal compressor 200.In addition, the conventional method of control conventional reciprocating formula compressor 200 also can realize by detecting electric current [strength, method is to be carried in electric current [strength on the reciprocal compressor 200 with current sensor senses, with control gear 201 identifications and mensuration electric current [strength, if there is excessive electric current to be carried on the reciprocal compressor 200, just by the power of control power switch 202 cut-outs from power delivery.
Yet the move distance of above-mentioned piston 107 is not a fixing shift value, but a shift value freely.Correspondingly, if an excessive electric current is carried on the reciprocal compressor 200, magnetic field just is reinforced, and magnetic field also is reinforced the effect of permanent magnet 102a, the cylinder head 109 of reciprocal compressor and the situation that piston 107 bumps against so just will occur.In addition, the controlling method of traditional reciprocal compressor wants to address this problem, mainly be to realize by move distance that detects piston or the electric current [strength that flows into coil, if the distance of motion or current's intensity surpass certain value, just be passed into that the electric current of coil interrupts the operation of reciprocal compressor on the reciprocal compressor by cut-out, but, also caused reciprocal compressor reliability variation because reciprocal compressor carries out on/off operation continually.
Summary of the invention

Embodiment
Describe the specific embodiment of the present invention now in detail, embodiment is described in the accompanying drawings, the wherein identical in the text identical parts of mark indication.The following mode of execution of narrating is intended to by the reference accompanying drawing the present invention be made an explanation.
Fig. 3 shows according to a kind of schematic diagram of controlling the device of reciprocal compressor in the specific embodiment of the present invention; Fig. 4 is the schematic diagram of demonstration according to the device of another control reciprocal compressor of another embodiment of the present invention; Fig. 5 A and 5B show respectively according to the motion of piston in the embodiment of Fig. 3 and 4 and act on the schematic representation of the direction of the power on the piston.
With reference to figure 3, description be a kind of reciprocal compressor 300, suction pipe 305 links to each other with an end of reciprocal compressor 300, and sucks at reciprocal compressor and to form a passage of carrying low pressure refrigerant in the operating process.Discharge pipe 303 links to each other with the other end of reciprocal compressor 300, and sucks the discharge passage that forms a suction and conveying compressed high-pressure refrigerant in the operating process at reciprocal compressor.Autocontrol valve 304 is positioned in the discharge pipe 303, and optionally opens and closes the passage that is formed by discharge pipe 303.ON/OFF control gear 302 is connected with autocontrol valve 304, and the ON/OFF of control autocontrol valve 304.Displacement distance sensor 306 links to each other with reciprocal compressor 300, and detects the distance of the piston motion of reciprocal compressor 300.Control gear 301 is discerned and is judged the information that ON/OFF control switch 302 detects, and sends instruction to ON/OFF control gear 302, and indication autocontrol valve 304 opens and closes discharge passage selectively.
Hereinafter, will the concrete mode of above narration be described in detail.
When power supply supplies on the reciprocal compressor 300 and reciprocal compressor 300 when starting working, the piston in reciprocal compressor 300 casing top halfs will suck and squeeze operation, simultaneously periodically motion within the limits prescribed.When the suction operation is carried out, low pressure refrigerant will flow in the reciprocal compressor by suction pipe 305, and compressed high-pressure refrigerant will be discharged in reciprocal compressor in the reciprocal compressor 300, and carries by discharge pipe 303 when carrying out discharging operation.When sucking when flowing through overcurrent constantly with certain of squeeze operation, the move distance of piston has just prolonged.The excessive move distance of piston detects by displacement distance sensor 306, and detected information is sent to control gear 301.The detected information of control gear 301 identifications, judge the working state of reciprocal compressor 300 and send instruction for ON/OFF control gear 302, instruction autocontrol valve 304 with discharge passage stop with the paranormal move distance of piston after the excessive amount of motion distance scope of corresponding regulation in.Correspondingly, ON/OFF control gear 302 instruction autocontrol valves 304 are stopped discharge passage within the limits prescribed, and autocontrol valve 304 is stopped discharge passage in the scope of instruction.Discharge passage does not need to be blocked fully.Its reason is if the discharge passage of stopping is within the limits prescribed, then discharge passage just stop with the corresponding to scope of predetermined range in, and the conveying of high-pressure refrigerant just interrupt with the corresponding to scope of predetermined range in.Correspondingly, preferred discharge passage can be stopped by autocontrol valve 304, and preferential scope designs 0% in 100%.0% means that discharge passage opens fully, and 100% means that then discharge passage closes fully.The reason of using said structure is that it is can prevent in reciprocal compressor 300 is in abnormal operating range the time, reciprocal compressor is compelled to optionally to open fully or cut out fully quitting work suddenly of being caused or restarts the phenomenon of work, thereby realizes level and smooth control.
Fig. 4 be explanation according to another embodiment of the present invention, wherein with Fig. 3 in identical parts use identical mark.
As shown in Figure 4, reciprocal compressor 300 adopts the working state that current sensor 401 comes detection effect to determine reciprocal compressor at the current's intensity rather than the employing displacement distance sensor 306 of reciprocal compressor 300.Correspondingly, electric current [strength detects by current sensor 401, and sends detected information to control gear 301.After this, control gear 301 is also correspondingly discerned current's intensity and is judged whether reciprocal compressor is in abnormal working state.Then, control gear 301 is controlled the degree that discharge passage is stopped according to the degree of abnormal condition.In addition, the ON/OFF degree of preferred autocontrol valve 304 is in from 0% to 100% the scope that realizes that discharge passage closes.
With reference to figure 5A, 5B together with the described mode of execution of Fig. 3, Fig. 5 A is that explanation is in the reciprocal compressor proper functioning, high-pressure refrigerant is transported to proal cylinder head 503 and discharges under stable compression work state, under this working state, the high-pressure refrigerant that flows in the compression chamber 501 can not surpass default piston displacement.The high-pressure refrigerant that is transported to cylinder head 503 normally is transported to the suction valve (not shown) along suction pipe.On the contrary, Fig. 5 B is the state of the improper motion of explanation, wherein piston 502 has surpassed piston 502 normal move distances, reach excessive distance, discharge passage stopped with the excessive corresponding distance range of displacement distance of the piston of the paranormal move distance of piston in, correspondingly, can not produce a reaction force from the high-pressure refrigerant of discharge in the compression chamber 501 of reciprocal compressor 300, thereby stop piston 502 to cylinder head 503 motions.
Specifically, when the discharge passage of discharge pipe 303 formation is stopped in predetermined range, the refrigeration agent of discharging from reciprocal compressor 300 just flow by autocontrol valve 304 interrupt with reciprocal compressor in the corresponding scope of discharging operation, the high-pressure refrigerant that can not discharge from compression chamber 501 just is trapped in the compression chamber 501.Because in compression process, the refrigeration agent of delay produce one with the opposite hydraulic coupling of piston 502 moving direction, avoided because reciprocal compressor transships the collision of 503 of the piston 502 that causes and cylinder head.Certainly, understand easily, have in the above-described controlling method free displacement reciprocal compressor 300 piston 502 move distance and piston with fixed displacement displacement distance almost reach identical effect.Simultaneously, same effect also can rather than be set preset displacement and is obtained, and formula is by being set in electric current [strength in the value of a regulation, and according to the ON/OFF of the electric current [strength control autocontrol valve of setting 304.
Fig. 6 is the flow chart of explanation according to the control reciprocal compressor method of above embodiment.
At first with reference to figure 6, when reciprocal compressor was started working, in step S601, the move distance of reciprocal compressor 300 inner carriers 502 detected by displacement distance sensor 306.Next control gear 301 is in step S602, with actual detected to move distance compare with the preset displacement value, and judge whether the working state of reciprocal compressor 300 undesired.Just, determine that whether the move distance of piston 502 is greater than preset displacement.Next, if determine that based on the basis of judging the working state of reciprocal compressor 300 is normal, then continue to detect the move distance of piston 502, and repeatedly compare with preset displacement.On the contrary, if determine the working state abnormal of reciprocal compressor 300 based on the basis that information is judged, the move distance of piston 502 is greater than preset displacement in other words, the move distance of piston 502 is just constantly detected and compare with preset displacement, and instruction ON/OFF control gear 302 control autocontrol valve 304 in step S603.Then, ON/OFF control gear 302 transmits a suitable electrical signal to autocontrol valve 304, and autocontrol valve 304 is just controlled the opening and closing of discharge passage according to the electrical signal of S604.The work of reciprocal compressor is just carried out reposefully according to above-mentioned process.Certainly, also can be by detecting the working state that the electric current [strength of actual loaded on reciprocal compressor 300 detects reciprocal compressor 300 in step S601.In this case, correspondingly default electric current [strength value will be compared with the electric current [strength of actual loaded on reciprocal compressor 300, thereby whether the working state of the reciprocal compressor of determining in step S602 300 is normal.Certainly, the obstruction scope of discharge passage for from 0% to discharge passage stop fully 100%.
As mentioned above, the apparatus and method that are used for controlling reciprocal compressor according to the present invention can prevent by the work of control reciprocal compressor because piston that the excessive amount of motion of piston causes and the collision between the vapour cylinder head, thereby prolonged the life-span of reciprocal compressor, improved reliability of products, and prevented because the appearance of the work abnormality that the frequent ON/OFF of compressor causes.
Although embodiments more of the present invention are showed and narrate; but it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that under the situation that does not break away from principle of the present invention and spirit and can change that protection scope of the present invention is determined by claims and its equivalent to these mode of executions.
