気調和装置の制御装置に関する。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention provides an air conditioning system that stops the operation of an outdoor fan when the current in a power supply path that supplies power to a compressor exceeds a limit value. The present invention relates to a control device for a harmonization device.

値を超えたとき圧縮機を停止させるものがある。(Conventional technology) Among heat pump type and split type air conditioners,
In the case where the compressor is operated under capacity control according to the deviation between the detected value of the room temperature and the set value, the current increases when the power supply voltage drops. In order to suppress this current below a certain value, the current in the common power supply path that supplies power to the compressor and outdoor fan is detected, and when the detected current exceeds a first limit value, the outdoor fan is stopped. Some compressors shut down when a second limit value, which is greater than the first limit value, is exceeded.
この場合、室外ファンの停止を室外ファンレリース、圧

ファンを停止させる室外ファンレリース点を12[A]
に、圧縮機を停止させる圧縮機レリース点を14.5[
A]にそれぞれ設定している。In this case, stopping the outdoor fan is sometimes called outdoor fan release, and stopping the compressor is sometimes called compressor release. Therefore, in this specification, the first limit value for stopping the outdoor fan is referred to as the outdoor fan release point, and the second limit value for stopping the compressor is referred to as the compressor release point. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of the operation of a conventional air conditioner that performs this type of control, and the outdoor fan release point at which the outdoor fan is stopped is set at 12 [A].
The compressor release point at which the compressor is stopped is set to 14.5[
A] respectively.

。At two points, the current in the common power supply path that supplies power to the compressor and outdoor fan increases from a value lower than ■ or IO [A], and! When it exceeds 2 [A], the outdoor fan is stopped, and when it exceeds 14.5 [A], the compressor is also stopped. If both the outdoor fan and the compressor are stopped in this way, the current I will drop rapidly. However, immediately after the compressor is stopped, the starting load is large, so even if the current value falls below 14.5, the compressor is kept on standby for a while. on the other hand,
For outdoor fans, the outdoor fan release point is 12
Return operation is performed at 10 [A], which is lower than [A].
(発明か解決しようとする課題)
上述した従来の空気調和装置にあっては、起動時に圧縮

点を低目に設定し、電流か増大傾向にある初期の時点で
室外ファンを停止させて起動を助けていた。(Problem to be solved by the invention) In the conventional air conditioner described above, in order to make it difficult for the compressor to release at startup, the outdoor fan release point is set to a low value, and the initial current tends to increase. At this point, I stopped the outdoor fan to help it start up.
しかしなから、起動後のいイっゆる定常運転中も、起動
時と同一の室外ファンレリース点を採用していたため、
電源電圧の低下等により室外ファンレリースが発生しや
すかった。However, even during steady operation after startup, the same outdoor fan release point as at startup was used, so
Outdoor fan release was likely to occur due to a drop in power supply voltage, etc.
このように、通常運転中に室外ファンレリースが発生す
ると室外熱交換器に霜が着き、そのため除霜回数が増え
る結果となる。As described above, when outdoor fan release occurs during normal operation, frost forms on the outdoor heat exchanger, resulting in an increase in the number of times of defrosting.

ある値まで下かった段階で除霜運転が行われる。In order to explain this, Fig. 5(a) is a diagram recording the relationship between operating time and current when the power supply voltage is 85 [V], and Fig. 5(b) is a part of it. FIG. In each of these figures, frost formation occurs due to the outdoor fan release, and the peak current gradually begins to decrease. Then, when this peak current drops to a certain value lower than 12 [A], defrosting operation is performed.

The system is characterized in that two values, high and low, are set, and the low value is used from the start of operation until it is activated, and the high value is used after activation.

The detected room temperature value T is compared with the detected room temperature value T. Here, when T < T, that is, when the room temperature is lower than the set temperature, the timer 11 is activated in step 103.

In step 108 of this processing process, if it is determined that the detected current value ■ exceeds the release point 11-12 [A] of the outdoor fan, in step 112 the detected current value I exceeds the release point 14.5 [^] of the compressor. It is determined whether or not the limit is exceeded, and if it is not exceeded, the relay contact 5 is opened in step 113 to stop only the outdoor fan 6. Note that in step 114, if the compressor 8 is in operation, the operating state is maintained as it is, and then in step Ill, 104

It is stopped and remains on standby in step l16. If the detected current I becomes less than 1O [A] during standby, the outdoor fan 6 is operated again in step 110.

By using [A], it is possible to reduce the number of times of defrosting caused by outdoor fan release and to increase heating capacity.

御ができる。In the above embodiment, the release point of the compressor 8 is set to 14.
The release points of the outdoor fan 6 were set to 12 [A] and 14 [^] to correspond to the setting of 5 [^], but these values may be adjusted at any time depending on the allowable current value of the power supply at home or factory. The key is to set two high and low values with a predetermined deviation as the release point of the outdoor fan, which can be changed,
The same control as described above can be achieved by using a low value at startup to aid startup, and by using a higher value during steady operation.

We set two high and low values with a predetermined deviation as the release points of the outdoor fan, and used the lower value at startup and the higher value during steady operation, so the number of defrosts caused by the outdoor fan release was reduced. As a result, the heating capacity can be fully utilized.
