In order to further explain the technical idea of the present invention, the present invention also provides a multi-channel PFC circuit control method, which is applied to an air conditioner including a refrigerant circulation loop, a compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger, an indoor heat exchanger, a multi-channel PFC circuit and a controller, as shown in fig. 5, and the specific steps of the method are as follows:
s101, acquiring input current of the multi-channel PFC circuit and start-stop information of each PFC channel.
In the step, input current of a multi-channel PFC circuit and start-stop information of each PFC channel are acquired first, wherein the start-stop information comprises the current start number of the PFC channels, the last start condition of each PFC channel and the start duration of each PFC channel.
S102, controlling the opening of each PFC channel based on the input current and the start-stop information.
In the step, after the input current of the multi-channel PFC circuit and the start-stop information of each PFC channel are obtained, the start of each PFC channel is controlled according to the input current and the start-stop information.
In order to reasonably control the opening of each PFC channel, in some embodiments, the opening of each PFC channel is controlled based on the input current and the start-stop information, which is specifically:
determining the quantity to be opened of the PFC channel based on the input current;
and controlling the opening of the PFC channel according to the opening quantity and the opening condition.
Specifically, the number of PFC channels to be opened is determined according to the input current of the multi-channel PFC circuit, and in general, the larger the input current is, the larger the number of PFC channels to be opened is, and after the number of PFC channels to be opened is determined, the opening of the PFC channels is controlled according to the number of PFC channels to be opened and the last opening condition of each PFC channel. Alternatively, the number of PFC channels to be opened may also be determined by the voltages at the two ends of the multi-path PFC circuit, which are all within the scope of protection of the present application.
It should be noted that the solution of the above preferred embodiment is only one specific implementation solution provided in the present application, and other methods for controlling the opening of each PFC channel based on the input current and the start-stop information are all within the protection scope of the present application.
In order to reasonably control the opening of the PFC tunnel, in some embodiments, the opening of the PFC is controlled according to the opening number and the opening condition, which specifically includes:
when the quantity to be started is larger than the current started quantity, starting the PFC channels from the last non-started PFC channel until all the PFC channels are started;
and when the quantity to be started is smaller than the current started quantity, starting to stop the PFC channels from the last started PFC channel until all the PFC channels are completely stopped.
In this embodiment, the number of PFC channels to be opened is compared with the current number of PFC channels to be opened, and when the number of PFC channels to be opened is greater than the current number of PFC channels to be opened, it is indicated that the number of PFC channels to be opened needs to be increased, and at this time, the PFC channels are preferentially opened from the PFC channels which are not opened last time until all the PFC channels are completely opened, so that the PFC channels which are opened each time are avoided as much as possible as the PFC channels which are opened last time, the time for opening each PFC channel is as much as possible, and when the number of PFC channels to be opened is less than the current number of PFC channels to be opened, it is indicated that the number of PFC channels to be opened needs to be reduced, and at this time, the PFC channels are preferentially stopped from the PFC channels which are opened last time until all the PFC channels are completely stopped, so that the PFC channels which are opened last time can be ensured to be preferentially at rest.
As shown in fig. 3 and fig. 4, the opening of each PFC channel is controlled according to the arrow direction, wherein 0 represents that the PFC channel is stopped, 1 represents that the PFC channel is opened, and when the number of PFC channels is two, for example, (2) the number of PFC channels to be opened is greater than the current number of PFC channels to be opened from all stopping to single channel starting, and 10 represents that the last PFC channel is opened before, so that the PFC channel opening is controlled to be 01 (the last PFC channel is opened), that is, the last PFC channel is preferentially opened. When the PFC channel number is three, for example, (6), from the dual channel start to the single channel start, i.e. the number to be started is smaller than the current number already started, 100 represents that the last opened is the forefront channel, so this time the PFC channel is controlled to be opened to 010 (stop the forefront channel), i.e. the last opened channel is preferably stopped.
It should be noted that the solution of the above preferred embodiment is only one specific implementation solution proposed in the present application, and other methods for controlling the start of the PFC according to the start number and the start condition are all within the protection scope of the present application.
In order to further reasonably control the opening of each PFC channel, in some embodiments, the opening of each PFC channel is controlled based on the input current and the start-stop information, which is specifically:
determining the quantity to be opened of the PFC channel based on the input current;
and controlling the start of the PFC channel based on the start time length and the quantity to be started.
Specifically, the number of PFC channels to be opened is determined according to the input current of the multi-channel PFC circuit, in general, the number of PFC channels to be opened is in direct proportion to the magnitude of the input current, and the controller controls the opening of the PFC channels according to the opening duration of each PFC channel and the number of PFC channels to be opened. Because the time for opening the PFC channels each time is possibly different, the opening of the PFC channels is controlled by the opening time of each PFC channel, so that the working time of each PFC channel can be further balanced, and the phenomenon that a certain PFC channel is excessively used and damaged in advance is avoided, thereby influencing the service life of the whole PFC circuit.
