Patent Description:
The compression apparatus (including a compressor and a pressure vessel, where a pressure in the pressure vessel changes when the compressor works) is an important part of an air conditioning system and a heat-pump system. In a system containing the compression apparatus, when the system has a high pressure, the pressure in the system will increase continuously if no action is taken to shut off the compression apparatus, resulting in the occurrence of dangers.

The existing way to shut off the compression apparatus is collecting, by a main control board, a switch signal of the compression apparatus, then outputting, by the main control board, a signal to a module board according to the switch signal, and controlling, by the module board, the compression apparatus to shut off. This way of shutting off the compression apparatus involves many components and has a slow response speed, and the compression apparatus cannot be shut off as long as any one of the components is damaged, resulting in serious consequences.

The existing way to shut off the compression apparatus is collecting, by a main control board, a switch signal of the compression apparatus, then outputting, by the main control board, a signal to a module board according to the switch signal, and controlling, by the module board, the compression apparatus to shut off. This way of shutting off the compression apparatus involves many components and has a slow response speed, and the compression apparatus cannot be shut off as long as any one of the components is damaged, resulting in serious consequences. Therefore, how to improve the efficiency and success rate of shutting off the compression apparatus and to improve the safety factor of the air conditioning system and the heat-pump system are still need to be solved.

Based on this, this disclosure provides a shutoff control system for a compression apparatus, a heat-pump apparatus, a device and a driving system. The shutoff control system for the compression apparatus includes a pressure switch apparatus, a driving apparatus, and a control apparatus. The pressure switch apparatus is configured to be shut off when the pressure switch apparatus detects a pressure of a system to be overpressured, and output a shutoff signal. The driving apparatus is connected to the compression apparatus (the compression apparatus is a compressor), and the driving apparatus, after receiving a first driving signal, outputs a second driving signal to the compression apparatus, and the second driving signal is configured to drive the compression apparatus to work. The control apparatus (such as a logic chip) is connected with the driving apparatus and the pressure switch apparatus for outputting the first driving signal to the driving apparatus, and stopping outputting the first driving signal after the control apparatus receives the shutoff signal. By this way, when the system is overpressured, the control apparatus of the driving apparatus of the compressor stops outputting the driving signal, so that the driving apparatus no longer drives the compressor to work, thereby achieving the purpose of shutting off the compression apparatus. The shutoff control system for the compression apparatus provided by this disclosure involves fewer components, and the compression apparatus is mechanically driven rather than program-driven when the compression apparatus is shut off, thereby improving the efficiency and success rate of shutting off the compression apparatus and improving the safety factor of the air conditioning system and the heat-pump system.

Referring to <FIG>, an embodiment of this disclosure provides a shutoff control system <NUM> for a compression apparatus, the shutoff control system <NUM> is configured to control the shutoff of the compression apparatus <NUM> (i.e. a compressor), especially to control the shutoff of the compression apparatus <NUM> when a system is overpressured, that is, the compression apparatus <NUM> is controlled to be shut off when the system is overpressured. The pressure of the system may be a pressure of a part of the system, for example, the pressure of the system refers to the pressure of some components connected to the compressor in an air conditioner. When the system is overpressured, the compression apparatus <NUM> is controlled to be shut off, thereby preventing a dangerous situation of continuous rise in pressure caused by the compression apparatus <NUM>.

The shutoff control system <NUM> for the compression apparatus comprises a pressure switch apparatus <NUM>, and a control apparatus <NUM> connected to a driving apparatus <NUM> of the compression apparatus <NUM>. The driving apparatus <NUM> is connected to the compression apparatus <NUM>, and the driving apparatus <NUM> can be understood as a compressor driving module. The driving apparatus <NUM> is configured to, after receiving a first driving signal, output a second driving signal to the compression apparatus <NUM>, and the second driving signal is configured to drive the compression apparatus <NUM> to work. If there is no first driving signal, the driving apparatus <NUM> will not output the second driving signal, and thus will not drive the compression apparatus <NUM> to work.

The pressure switch apparatus <NUM> is configured to be shut off when the pressure switch apparatus detects that the system is overpressured, and output a shutoff signal. The pressure switch apparatus <NUM> is, for example, a switch portion in a device for detecting whether the system is overpressured. When the system is not overpressured, that is, when the system is running normally, the pressure switch apparatus <NUM> is in a normally closed state. When the system is detected to be overpressured, the pressure switch apparatus <NUM> is shut off under an overpressure impact. In an optional embodiment, when the system is not overpressured, that is, when the system is running normally, the pressure switch apparatus <NUM> is in a normally open state, and when the system is detected to be overpressured, the pressure switch apparatus <NUM> is closed under an overpressure impact. Therefore, the pressure switch apparatus <NUM> needs, when the system is overpressured, to be in a state opposite to the state thereof when the system is in a normal operation, so that the shutoff signal can be output to make other apparatuses obtain information about the system is overpressured.

The control apparatus <NUM> is connected to the driving apparatus <NUM> and the pressure switch apparatus <NUM>. The control apparatus <NUM> is configured to output the first driving signal to the driving apparatus <NUM>, and stop outputting the first driving signal after the control apparatus <NUM> receives the shutoff signal. As described above, the first driving signal is configured to instruct the driving apparatus <NUM> to drive the compression apparatus <NUM> to work, and after the control apparatus <NUM> stops outputting the first driving signal, the driving apparatus <NUM> stops outputting the second driving signal to the compression apparatus <NUM>, thereby achieving the purpose of shutting off the compression apparatus <NUM>.

The control apparatus <NUM> is, for example, a logic chip, and mechanically triggers the stop of outputting the first driving signal after the control apparatus <NUM> receives the shutoff signal.

To sum up, this example provides the shutoff control system <NUM> for the compression apparatus, including the pressure switch apparatus <NUM> and the control apparatus <NUM>. The pressure switch apparatus <NUM> is configured to be shut off when the pressure switch apparatus <NUM> detects that the system is overpressured, and output the shutoff signal.

The first driving signal is configured to drive the driving apparatus to work. Therefore, when the system is overpressured, the control apparatus <NUM> controls the driving apparatus <NUM> of the compression apparatus <NUM> to stop outputting the driving signal, thereby controlling the compression apparatus <NUM> to shut off. Under the situation of overpressure protection, there is no need to make software logic judgment, and the hardware is directly driven by signal driving to shut off, therefore, fewer components are required, the response is faster and safer, thereby improving the efficiency and success rate of shutting off the compression apparatus <NUM>, and improving the safety factor of the air conditioning system and the heat-pump system.

In addition, when the system recovers normal operation, the control apparatus <NUM> firstly outputs the first driving signal to the driving apparatus <NUM>, and then the driving apparatus <NUM>, under the action of the first driving signal, outputs the second driving signal to the compression apparatus <NUM>.
