Description

本発明は、冷凍・冷蔵ショーケース等に用いる冷凍冷蔵システム、その制御装置及び制御方法に関し、特に、制御対象温度に応じて圧縮機の運転停止を切り換える冷凍冷蔵システム等に関する。   The present invention relates to a refrigeration system used for a refrigeration / refrigeration showcase and the like, a control apparatus and a control method thereof, and more particularly, to a refrigeration system that switches operation stop of a compressor in accordance with a control target temperature.

一般に、食料品の保冷や陳列等に用いる冷凍・冷蔵ショーケースにおいては、庫内温度の高低に応じて圧縮機のオン/オフを切り換えるとともに、その切り換え動作を庫内温度の変化に追従して繰り返すことで、庫内温度を一定温に維持するように制御している。   In general, in a refrigerated / refrigerated showcase used for food storage or display, the compressor is switched on / off according to the level of the internal temperature, and the switching operation follows the change in the internal temperature. By repeating, it controls to maintain the internal temperature at a constant temperature.

圧縮機の運転停止の切り換えは、庫内温度が所定のオン設定温度以上になるのに応じて圧縮機を運転し、庫内温度がオン設定温度より低いオフ設定温度以下になるのに応じて圧縮機の運転を停止するように行われる。このときのオン設定温度とオフ設定温度との間の温度差は、ディファレンシャルと呼ばれ、圧縮機の頻繁なオン/オフ動作(ハンチング)を避けるために設けられている。   The compressor is switched off when the internal temperature becomes equal to or higher than the specified on-set temperature, and the compressor is operated, and the internal temperature falls below the off-set temperature lower than the on-set temperature. This is done to stop the compressor operation. The temperature difference between the on-set temperature and the off-set temperature at this time is called a differential and is provided to avoid frequent on / off operation (hunting) of the compressor.

また、庫内冷却時の冷房能力を安定させ、効率のよい運転を行うなどの目的で、冷凍サイクル内を循環する冷媒の流量調整を行うが、その際の調整を高精度に行うため、冷媒の流量調整弁には、パルスモータ等を使用した電動式膨張弁が多用されている。電動式膨張弁を用いた冷凍サイクルにおいては、蒸発器の冷媒過熱度を検出して設定過熱度と比較し、その差に応じてPID制御等により電動式膨張弁の開度を調節して通過冷媒の流量制御を行っている。   In addition, the flow rate of the refrigerant circulating in the refrigeration cycle is adjusted for the purpose of stabilizing the cooling capacity at the time of cooling inside the cabinet and performing efficient operation, etc. As the flow rate adjusting valve, an electric expansion valve using a pulse motor or the like is frequently used. In a refrigeration cycle using an electric expansion valve, the refrigerant superheat degree of the evaporator is detected and compared with the set superheat degree, and the opening degree of the electric expansion valve is adjusted by PID control or the like according to the difference. The refrigerant flow control is performed.

ところで、上記の如く、圧縮機のオン/オフを切り換える場合には、それに伴って電動式膨張弁の開閉を制御する必要があるが、その際の制御方法の1つとして、例えば、特許文献1には、圧縮機を停止するに際して、電動式膨張弁の開度を一旦全閉にし、所定時間後に全開にして冷凍サイクルのガスバランスをとるとともに、圧縮機を起動する際には、電動式膨張弁の開度を初期開度(予め設定した基準開度)、又は記憶開度(圧縮機を停止する直前の開度)に設定する技術が記載されている。   By the way, as described above, when switching on / off of the compressor, it is necessary to control the opening and closing of the electric expansion valve, and as one of the control methods at that time, for example, Patent Document 1 When stopping the compressor, fully open the opening of the electric expansion valve and fully open it after a predetermined time to balance the gas in the refrigeration cycle, and when starting the compressor, A technique for setting the valve opening to an initial opening (a preset reference opening) or a storage opening (an opening immediately before stopping the compressor) is described.

尚、特許文献1に記載の技術は、室温調整用の空気調和機を対象としたものであるため、電動式膨張弁を全開にしてガスバランスをとるが、冷凍・冷蔵ショーケースにおいては、庫内温度が上昇するのを避ける目的から、圧縮機を停止させた際のガスバランスをとらないのが一般的である。このため、上記技術を冷凍・冷蔵ショーケース用の制御に適用した場合には、圧縮機を停止する際に電動式膨張弁の開度を全閉にし、圧縮機を起動する際に初期開度又は記憶開度に設定することになる。   The technique described in Patent Document 1 is intended for an air conditioner for room temperature adjustment, so that the electric expansion valve is fully opened to balance the gas. However, in a refrigerated / refrigerated showcase, In order to avoid the internal temperature from increasing, it is common not to take gas balance when the compressor is stopped. For this reason, when the above technology is applied to the control for a freezer / refrigerator showcase, the opening of the electric expansion valve is fully closed when the compressor is stopped, and the initial opening when the compressor is started. Alternatively, the memory opening is set.

実公平2−3093号公報No. 2-3093

しかし、上記のように、圧縮機のオン/オフに応じて電動式膨張弁の開度を全閉と初期開度(又は記憶開度)の間で切り換えた場合には、圧縮機のオン/オフを切り換える都度、大きな操作量で電動式膨張弁の開度を変更することになる。   However, as described above, when the opening degree of the electric expansion valve is switched between the fully closed position and the initial opening degree (or the stored opening degree) in accordance with the on / off state of the compressor, the compressor is turned on / off. Each time switching off, the opening of the electric expansion valve is changed by a large operation amount.

加えて、冷凍・冷蔵ショーケースにおいては、圧縮機のオン/オフの切り換え回数が比較的に多く、5分程度の間隔でオン/オフを繰り返すといった激しい切り換え動作を要求される場合も少なくない。こうした場合、圧縮機のオン/オフの切り換え回数は、1時間当たりで10回以上に及ぶことになり、電動式膨張弁の駆動頻度を著しく高めることになる。   In addition, in a refrigeration / refrigeration showcase, the number of times the compressor is switched on / off is relatively large, and there are many cases where a severe switching operation is required, such as repeated on / off at intervals of about 5 minutes. In such a case, the number of times the compressor is switched on / off is 10 times or more per hour, and the driving frequency of the electric expansion valve is significantly increased.

また、電動式膨張弁は、摺動部分を有する機械部品であるため、駆動頻度が高くなる程、摺動部分の摩耗等が進んで寿命が短くなり、その耐久寿命は、パルスモータに与える駆動パルスのパルス数によって規定されるのが一般的である。このため、上記のような開度の変更を行って、パルスモータに与える駆動パルス数を大幅に増加させた場合には、耐久寿命として規定された残パルス数を急速に消費し、電動式膨張弁の短命化を招くことになる。その結果、電動式膨張弁の頻繁な交換を強いることになり、ひいては、冷凍・冷蔵ショーケースの信頼性を低下させるという問題が生じる。   In addition, since the electric expansion valve is a mechanical part having a sliding part, the higher the drive frequency, the shorter the life of the sliding part due to wear of the sliding part. The durable life is the driving given to the pulse motor. Generally, it is defined by the number of pulses. For this reason, when the opening degree is changed as described above and the number of drive pulses applied to the pulse motor is greatly increased, the remaining number of pulses specified as the endurance life is rapidly consumed, and the electric expansion This will shorten the life of the valve. As a result, frequent replacement of the electric expansion valve is forced, resulting in a problem that the reliability of the freezing / refrigerating showcase is lowered.

そこで、本発明は、上記問題点に鑑みてなされたものであって、圧縮機のオン/オフを頻繁に切り換える場合であっても、電動式膨張弁を駆動させる駆動信号の駆動パルス数が多大になるのを防止し、電動式膨張弁の長寿命化を図ったり、ひいては、冷凍冷蔵システム自体の信頼性を向上させることを目的とする。   Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and even when the compressor is frequently switched on / off, the number of drive pulses of the drive signal for driving the electric expansion valve is large. The purpose is to extend the life of the electric expansion valve, and to improve the reliability of the refrigeration system itself.

上記目的を達成するため、本発明は、圧縮機、凝縮器、電動式膨張弁及び蒸発器が順次に接続され、制御対象温度に応じて前記圧縮機の運転停止を切り換える冷凍冷蔵システムであって、前記凝縮器と前記蒸発器の間に配置され、それらの間の冷媒流路を開閉する電磁弁を備え、前記圧縮機の運転を停止するときに、前記電磁弁を閉じるとともに、前記電磁弁を開閉する信号に応じて前記電動式膨張弁の開度を該圧縮機の運転を停止したときの開度で維持し、前記圧縮機の運転を再開するときに、前記電磁弁を開くとともに、前記電磁弁を開閉する信号に応じて前記電動式膨張弁の開度制御を前記圧縮機の運転を停止したときの開度から開始することを特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a refrigeration system in which a compressor, a condenser, an electric expansion valve, and an evaporator are sequentially connected, and the operation of the compressor is switched according to the temperature to be controlled. , disposed between the evaporator and the condenser, an electromagnetic valve for opening and closing the refrigerant flow path between them, when stopping the operation of the compressor, it is closed the solenoid valve, the solenoid valve In response to a signal for opening and closing the opening of the electric expansion valve is maintained at the opening when the operation of the compressor is stopped, and when the operation of the compressor is resumed, the electromagnetic valve is opened, The opening control of the electric expansion valve is started from the opening when the operation of the compressor is stopped in accordance with a signal for opening and closing the electromagnetic valve .

そして、本発明によれば、凝縮器と蒸発器の間に電磁弁を設けた上で、圧縮機の運転を停止するときには、電磁弁を閉じるとともに、前記電磁弁を開閉する信号に応じて電動式膨張弁の開度を圧縮機の運転を停止したときの開度で維持し、圧縮機の運転を再開するときには、電磁弁を開くとともに、前記電磁弁を開閉する信号に応じて電動式膨張弁の開度制御を圧縮機の運転を停止したときの開度から開始するため、圧縮機の運転を停止したときの庫内温度の上昇を防止しながら、圧縮機を停止した際の電動式膨張弁の全閉動作、及び圧縮機を起動した際の電動式膨張弁の開弁動作を不要とすることができる。このため、圧縮機のオン/オフを切り換える都度、電動式膨張弁の開度を大きく変更する必要がなくなり、駆動パルス数の消費量を大幅に削減することができる。従って、電動式膨張弁の長寿命化を図ることが可能になり、ひいては、冷凍冷蔵システムの信頼性を向上させることが可能になる。 According to the present invention, when the operation of the compressor is stopped after the electromagnetic valve is provided between the condenser and the evaporator, the electromagnetic valve is closed and the motor is operated in accordance with a signal for opening and closing the electromagnetic valve. The opening of the expansion valve is maintained at the opening when the compressor operation is stopped, and when restarting the compressor operation, the electromagnetic valve is opened and the electric expansion is performed according to a signal for opening and closing the electromagnetic valve. Since the valve opening control is started from the opening when the compressor operation is stopped, the electric type when the compressor is stopped while preventing the rise in the internal temperature when the compressor operation is stopped. The fully closing operation of the expansion valve and the opening operation of the electric expansion valve when starting the compressor can be made unnecessary. For this reason, it is not necessary to greatly change the opening of the electric expansion valve each time the compressor is switched on / off, and the consumption of the number of drive pulses can be greatly reduced. Therefore, it is possible to extend the life of the electric expansion valve, and consequently improve the reliability of the refrigeration system.

また、本発明は、圧縮機、凝縮器、電動式膨張弁及び蒸発器が順次に接続された冷凍サイクルと、前記凝縮器と前記蒸発器の間に配置され、それらの間の冷媒流路を開閉する電磁弁とを有し、制御対象温度に応じて前記圧縮機の運転停止を切り換える冷凍冷蔵システムの動作を制御する制御装置であって、前記圧縮機の運転を停止するときに、前記電磁弁を閉じるとともに、前記電磁弁を開閉する信号に応じて前記電動式膨張弁の開度を該圧縮機の運転を停止したときの開度で維持し、前記圧縮機の運転を再開するときに、前記電磁弁を開くとともに、前記電磁弁を開閉する信号に応じて前記電動式膨張弁の開度制御を前記圧縮機の運転を停止したときの開度から開始することを特徴とする。 Further, the present invention provides a refrigeration cycle in which a compressor, a condenser, an electric expansion valve, and an evaporator are sequentially connected, and is disposed between the condenser and the evaporator. A control device that controls an operation of a refrigeration system that switches operation stop of the compressor in accordance with a temperature to be controlled, the electromagnetic valve for stopping the operation of the compressor When closing the valve and maintaining the opening of the electric expansion valve at the opening when the operation of the compressor is stopped in response to a signal for opening and closing the electromagnetic valve, and when restarting the operation of the compressor The electromagnetic valve is opened, and the opening control of the electric expansion valve is started from the opening when the operation of the compressor is stopped in response to a signal for opening and closing the electromagnetic valve .

本発明によれば、前記発明と同様に、圧縮機のオン/オフを頻繁に切り換える場合であっても、電動式膨張弁を駆動させる駆動信号の駆動パルス数が多大になるのを防止し、電動式膨張弁の長寿命化を図ったり、ひいては、冷凍冷蔵システム自体の信頼性を向上させることが可能になる。   According to the present invention, similarly to the above-described invention, even when the on / off of the compressor is frequently switched, the number of drive pulses of the drive signal for driving the electric expansion valve is prevented, It is possible to extend the life of the electric expansion valve and to improve the reliability of the refrigeration system itself.

次に、本発明の実施の形態について、図面を参照しながら詳細に説明する。尚、以下の説明においては、本発明にかかる冷凍冷蔵システムを、食料品の保冷や陳列等に用いる冷凍・冷蔵ショーケースに適用した場合を例にとって説明する。   Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the case where the freezing and refrigeration system according to the present invention is applied to a freezing and refrigeration showcase used for keeping food, displaying food, etc. will be described as an example.

図1は、本発明にかかる冷凍冷蔵システムの一実施の形態を示し、このシステム1は、圧縮機2と、凝縮器3と、凝縮器用ファン3aと、電磁弁4と、電動式膨張弁5と、蒸発器6と、蒸発器用ファン6aと、入口温度センサ7と、出口温度センサ8と、庫内温度センサ9と、温度制御部10と、過熱度制御部11とを備える。   FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a refrigeration system according to the present invention. This system 1 includes a compressor 2, a condenser 3, a condenser fan 3a, an electromagnetic valve 4, and an electric expansion valve 5. And an evaporator 6, an evaporator fan 6 a, an inlet temperature sensor 7, an outlet temperature sensor 8, an interior temperature sensor 9, a temperature control unit 10, and a superheat degree control unit 11.

圧縮機2、凝縮器3、電磁弁4、電動式膨張弁5及び蒸発器6は、配管12で接続され、これらの間を冷媒が循環する。ここで、配管12を流れる冷媒の流量は、電動式膨張弁5の弁開度を調整することにより制御する。   The compressor 2, the condenser 3, the electromagnetic valve 4, the electric expansion valve 5 and the evaporator 6 are connected by a pipe 12, and the refrigerant circulates between them. Here, the flow rate of the refrigerant flowing through the pipe 12 is controlled by adjusting the valve opening degree of the electric expansion valve 5.

圧縮機2は、蒸発器6より供給された低圧の気体の状態にある冷媒を圧縮し、高圧の気体に変換して配管12を介して凝縮器3に供給する。   The compressor 2 compresses the refrigerant in a low-pressure gas state supplied from the evaporator 6, converts the refrigerant into a high-pressure gas, and supplies it to the condenser 3 via the pipe 12.

凝縮器3は、圧縮機2から供給された高圧気体状態の冷媒を凝縮し、高圧液体状態の冷媒に変換して凝縮熱を奪い、奪った熱を凝縮器用ファン3aの送風によって外部に放出する。   The condenser 3 condenses the high-pressure gaseous refrigerant supplied from the compressor 2, converts it into a high-pressure liquid refrigerant, takes away the heat of condensation, and releases the taken-out heat to the outside by the ventilation of the condenser fan 3a. .

電磁弁4は、凝縮器3と蒸発器6の間の冷媒流路12aを開閉するための弁であり、蒸発器6への冷媒の流入の有無を切り換えるために設けられる。この電磁弁4は、温度制御部10から出力される電磁弁駆動信号SVに従って動作し、電磁弁駆動信号SVの電圧レベルに応じて開閉する。   The electromagnetic valve 4 is a valve for opening and closing the refrigerant flow path 12 a between the condenser 3 and the evaporator 6, and is provided for switching whether or not the refrigerant flows into the evaporator 6. The solenoid valve 4 operates according to the solenoid valve drive signal SV output from the temperature control unit 10 and opens and closes according to the voltage level of the solenoid valve drive signal SV.

電動式膨張弁5は、凝縮器3から供給された高圧液体状態の冷媒を低圧状態に変化させる。この電動式膨張弁5は、過熱度制御部11からの電動弁駆動信号EVに従って駆動されるパルスモータ(不図示)を内蔵し、電動弁駆動信号EVのパルス数に応じた回転角度でパルスモータが回転することにより電動式膨張弁5の弁開度を調整する。   The electric expansion valve 5 changes the high-pressure liquid refrigerant supplied from the condenser 3 to a low-pressure state. This electric expansion valve 5 incorporates a pulse motor (not shown) that is driven in accordance with an electric valve drive signal EV from the superheat degree control unit 11 and has a rotation angle corresponding to the number of pulses of the electric valve drive signal EV. Is adjusted to adjust the opening degree of the electric expansion valve 5.

蒸発器6は、低圧の液体状態にある冷媒を蒸発(気化)させるために備えられ、冷媒は、蒸発することにより周囲より気化熱を奪い、加熱される。この際、奪われた熱によって蒸発器6周辺の空気が冷却され、その冷却された空気が蒸発器用ファン6aの送風によって放出されることにより、冷凍・冷蔵ショーケースの庫内温度の調節が行われる。   The evaporator 6 is provided to evaporate (vaporize) the refrigerant in a low-pressure liquid state, and the refrigerant takes heat of vaporization from the surroundings by being evaporated and is heated. At this time, the air around the evaporator 6 is cooled by the deprived heat, and the cooled air is discharged by the ventilation of the evaporator fan 6a, thereby adjusting the temperature inside the refrigerator / freezer showcase. Is called.

入口温度センサ7、出口温度センサ8及び庫内温度センサ9は、各々、蒸発器6の入口の冷媒(液体状態での冷媒)の温度Tin、蒸発器6の出口での冷媒(気体状態の冷媒)の温度Tout、冷凍・冷蔵ショーケースの庫内温度Tisを検出する。これら入口温度センサ7〜庫内温度センサ9には、例えば、サーミスタを用いることが一般的である。   The inlet temperature sensor 7, the outlet temperature sensor 8, and the interior temperature sensor 9 are respectively the temperature Tin of the refrigerant (liquid refrigerant) at the inlet of the evaporator 6, and the refrigerant (gas refrigerant) at the outlet of the evaporator 6. ) And the temperature Tis of the freezer / refrigerated showcase are detected. For example, a thermistor is generally used as the inlet temperature sensor 7 to the internal temperature sensor 9.

温度制御部10は、圧縮機2の運転の有無を制御して冷凍・冷蔵ショーケースの庫内温度を調整するための制御回路であり、例えば、マイクロコンピュータ及び周辺回路(いずれも不図示)から構成される。この温度制御部10は、庫内温度センサ9によって検出された庫内温度Tisと、予め設定されたオン設定温度Ton及びオフ設定温度Toffとを対比し、その結果に基づいて圧縮機2の運転の有無を制御する。尚、オン設定温度Ton及びオフ設定温度Toffは、従来と同様のものであり、それらの間には、ディファレンシャルと呼ばれる温度差が設定される。   The temperature control unit 10 is a control circuit for adjusting the temperature in the refrigerator / freezer showcase by controlling the operation of the compressor 2, for example, from a microcomputer and peripheral circuits (both not shown). Composed. The temperature control unit 10 compares the internal temperature Tis detected by the internal temperature sensor 9 with the on-set temperature Ton and the off-set temperature Toff set in advance, and the operation of the compressor 2 based on the results. Control the presence or absence. Note that the on set temperature Ton and the off set temperature Toff are the same as those in the prior art, and a temperature difference called differential is set between them.

また、温度制御部10は、圧縮機2の運転状態に合わせて電磁弁4の開閉を制御する機能も有し、電磁弁4の開閉制御は、電磁弁駆動信号SVを通じて行われる。この電磁弁駆動信号SVは、圧縮機2の運転期間中は電磁弁4を開弁させる電圧レベル(例えば、AC200V)に設定され、一方、圧縮機2の停止期間中は電磁弁4を閉弁させる電圧レベル(例えば、0V)に設定される。   The temperature control unit 10 also has a function of controlling the opening and closing of the electromagnetic valve 4 in accordance with the operating state of the compressor 2, and the opening and closing control of the electromagnetic valve 4 is performed through an electromagnetic valve drive signal SV. This solenoid valve drive signal SV is set to a voltage level (for example, AC 200 V) that opens the solenoid valve 4 during the operation period of the compressor 2, while the solenoid valve 4 is closed during the stop period of the compressor 2. Is set to a voltage level (for example, 0 V).

過熱度制御部11は、電動式膨張弁5の弁開度を制御するための制御回路であり、温度制御部10と同様、例えば、マイクロコンピュータ及び周辺回路から構成される。この過熱度制御部11は、蒸発器6での冷媒の過熱度Tsh(出口温度センサ8の検出温度Tout−入口温度センサ7の検出温度Tin)に基づき、PID制御によって電動式膨張弁5の弁開度を求め、求めた弁開度に対応する電動弁駆動信号EVを電動式膨張弁5のパルスモータに出力する。   The superheat degree control unit 11 is a control circuit for controlling the valve opening degree of the electric expansion valve 5, and is composed of, for example, a microcomputer and a peripheral circuit, like the temperature control unit 10. The superheat degree control unit 11 controls the valve of the electric expansion valve 5 by PID control based on the superheat degree Tsh of the refrigerant in the evaporator 6 (detected temperature Tout of the outlet temperature sensor 8−detected temperature Tin of the inlet temperature sensor 7). The opening degree is obtained, and an electric valve drive signal EV corresponding to the obtained valve opening degree is output to the pulse motor of the electric expansion valve 5.

また、過熱度制御部11は、電磁弁駆動信号SVの電圧レベルを監視して電磁弁4の開閉を検知し、電磁弁4の開閉に合わせて電動式膨張弁5への電動弁駆動信号EVの出力の有無を切り換える機能も有する。   Further, the superheat degree control unit 11 monitors the voltage level of the electromagnetic valve drive signal SV to detect the opening / closing of the electromagnetic valve 4, and the electric valve driving signal EV to the electric expansion valve 5 in accordance with the opening / closing of the electromagnetic valve 4. Also has a function of switching the presence or absence of the output.

次に、上記構成を有する冷凍冷蔵システム1の動作について説明する。ここでは、先ず、温度制御部10が行う制御動作について、図1、図2を参照しながら説明する。尚、制御動作中、温度制御部10は、タイマ(不図示)等を用いつつ、所定期間(例えば、10秒)毎に図2に示すルーチンを実行する。   Next, the operation of the refrigeration system 1 having the above configuration will be described. Here, first, the control operation performed by the temperature control unit 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. During the control operation, the temperature control unit 10 executes the routine shown in FIG. 2 every predetermined period (for example, 10 seconds) using a timer (not shown) or the like.

処理を開始すると、温度制御部10は、図2に示すように、先ず、庫内温度センサ9によって検出された庫内温度Tisを取り込み(ステップS1)、庫内温度Tisがオン設定温度Ton以上であるか否かを判定する(ステップS2)。このとき、例えば、庫内温度Tisが上昇傾向にあり、庫内温度Tisがオン設定温度Ton以上となっている場合には(ステップS2:Yes)、圧縮機2を起動する(ステップS3)。これと併行して、電磁弁4を開弁し、凝縮器3と蒸発器6の間の冷媒流路12aを開放する(ステップS4)。これにより、蒸発器6用のファン6aから冷風を放出させ、庫内を冷却して庫内温度Tisを低下させる。   When the process is started, as shown in FIG. 2, the temperature control unit 10 first takes in the internal temperature Tis detected by the internal temperature sensor 9 (step S1), and the internal temperature Tis is equal to or higher than the on-set temperature Ton. It is determined whether or not (step S2). At this time, for example, when the internal temperature Tis tends to increase and the internal temperature Tis is equal to or higher than the on-set temperature Ton (step S2: Yes), the compressor 2 is started (step S3). At the same time, the electromagnetic valve 4 is opened, and the refrigerant flow path 12a between the condenser 3 and the evaporator 6 is opened (step S4). As a result, cool air is discharged from the fan 6a for the evaporator 6 to cool the interior and lower the interior temperature Tis.

その後、庫内温度Tisが徐々に低下し、庫内温度センサ9の検出温度Tisがオン設定温度Tonより低くなった場合には(ステップS2:No)、その温度Tisがオフ設定温度Toff以下にまで達しているか否かを判定する(ステップS5)。その結果、庫内温度Tisがオフ設定温度Toffよりも高い場合には(ステップS5:No)、その時点での圧縮機2の運転状態(稼働させている状態)を維持し、庫内温度Tisを引き続き低下させる(ステップS6)。このとき、電磁弁4についても、その時点での開閉状態(開弁している状態)を維持し、冷媒流路12aを開放し続ける(ステップS7)。   Thereafter, when the internal temperature Tis gradually decreases and the detection temperature Tis of the internal temperature sensor 9 becomes lower than the on-set temperature Ton (step S2: No), the temperature Tis is equal to or lower than the off-set temperature Toff. It is determined whether or not it has reached (step S5). As a result, when the internal temperature Tis is higher than the off-set temperature Toff (step S5: No), the operation state (operating state) of the compressor 2 at that time is maintained, and the internal temperature Tis. Is continuously reduced (step S6). At this time, the solenoid valve 4 also maintains the open / closed state (open state) at that time, and continues to open the refrigerant flow path 12a (step S7).

そして、庫内温度Tisが十分に低下し、庫内温度センサ9の検出温度Tisがオフ設定温度Toff以下となった場合には(ステップS5:Yes)、圧縮機2の運転を停止するとともに、電磁弁4を閉じて冷媒流路12aを閉鎖する(ステップS8、S9)。これにより、庫内の冷却を停止し、庫内温度Tisを緩やかに上昇させる。   And when the internal temperature Tis falls sufficiently and the detection temperature Tis of the internal temperature sensor 9 becomes equal to or lower than the off set temperature Toff (step S5: Yes), the operation of the compressor 2 is stopped, The electromagnetic valve 4 is closed and the refrigerant flow path 12a is closed (steps S8 and S9). As a result, the internal cooling is stopped and the internal temperature Tis is gradually increased.

以後、上記のステップS1〜S9の動作を10秒間隔で繰り返し、庫内温度Tisが再びオン設定温度Ton以上となれば、圧縮機2の運転及び電磁弁4の開弁を再開して庫内温度Tisを低下させる。   Thereafter, the operations in steps S1 to S9 are repeated at 10 second intervals, and when the internal temperature Tis becomes equal to or higher than the on-set temperature Ton, the operation of the compressor 2 and the opening of the electromagnetic valve 4 are resumed. Reduce the temperature Tis.

次に、過熱度制御部11が行う制御動作について、図1、図3を参照しながら説明する。尚、過熱度制御部11は、温度制御部10の動作に同期して動作し、温度制御部10と同様、例えば、10秒間隔で図3に示すルーチンを実行する。   Next, the control operation performed by the superheat degree control unit 11 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 3. The superheat degree control unit 11 operates in synchronization with the operation of the temperature control unit 10 and executes the routine shown in FIG. 3 at intervals of 10 seconds, for example, as with the temperature control unit 10.

処理を開始すると、過熱度制御部11は、図3に示すように、先ず、温度制御部10から出力される電磁弁駆動信号SVを参照し、電磁弁4が開かれているか否かを判定する(ステップS11)。判定の結果、電磁弁4が開かれていた場合には(ステップS11:Yes)、蒸発器6の入口の冷媒温度Tin 、出口の冷媒温度Toutを各々取り込み(ステップS12、S13)、現在の過熱度Tsh=Tout−Tinを算出する(ステップS14)。   When the process is started, as shown in FIG. 3, the superheat degree control unit 11 first determines whether or not the electromagnetic valve 4 is opened with reference to the electromagnetic valve drive signal SV output from the temperature control unit 10. (Step S11). If the result of determination is that the solenoid valve 4 has been opened (step S11: Yes), the refrigerant temperature Tin at the inlet of the evaporator 6 and the refrigerant temperature Tout at the outlet are taken in (steps S12 and S13), respectively, and the current overheating The degree Tsh = Tout−Tin is calculated (step S14).

次いで、設定過熱度(過熱度Tshの目標値)Tsと、現在の過熱度Tshとの偏差e(t)=Ts−Tshを算出し(ステップS15)、過去一連の偏差e、比例帯PB、積分時間Ti、微分時間Tdに基づき、次式に従って、PID(比例・積分・微分)演算で今回の弁開度の操作量m(t)を算出する(ステップS16)。ここで、Kpは、比例ゲインである。   Next, a deviation e (t) = Ts−Tsh between the set superheat degree (target value of the superheat degree Tsh) Ts and the current superheat degree Tsh is calculated (step S15), and a series of past deviation e, proportional band PB, Based on the integration time Ti and the differentiation time Td, the operation amount m (t) of the current valve opening is calculated by PID (proportional / integral / derivative) calculation according to the following equation (step S16). Here, Kp is a proportional gain.

Figure 0005384124

これにより、電動式膨張弁5が到達すべき弁の目標開度が導出され、過熱度制御部11は、電動式膨張弁5の開度が目標開度となるように駆動パルス数を設定するとともに、電動式膨張弁5に電動弁駆動信号EVを出力して電動式膨張弁5の開度を増減する(ステップS17)。   Thereby, the target opening degree of the valve that the electric expansion valve 5 should reach is derived, and the superheat degree control unit 11 sets the number of drive pulses so that the opening degree of the electric expansion valve 5 becomes the target opening degree. At the same time, an electric valve drive signal EV is output to the electric expansion valve 5 to increase or decrease the opening degree of the electric expansion valve 5 (step S17).

一方、上記ステップS11の判定の結果、電磁弁4が閉じられていた場合には(ステップS11:No)、何らの処理も実行せず、電動式膨張弁5の開度変更等は行わない。   On the other hand, if the electromagnetic valve 4 is closed as a result of the determination in step S11 (step S11: No), no processing is executed and the opening degree of the electric expansion valve 5 is not changed.

次に、圧縮機2のオン/オフを切り換えた際の電磁弁4及び電動式膨張弁5の動作例について、図4を中心に、図1〜図3を参照しながら説明する。   Next, operation examples of the electromagnetic valve 4 and the electric expansion valve 5 when the compressor 2 is switched on / off will be described with reference to FIGS.

タイミングt1において、庫内温度Tisがオン設定温度Ton以上になると、圧縮機2が起動されるとともに、電磁弁4が開かれて冷媒流路12aが開放される。また、電磁弁4の開弁に応答して、PID演算に基づく電動式膨張弁5の開度調整が開始され、冷凍サイクル内を循環する冷媒の流量が調整される。これら圧縮機2の運転、電磁弁4の開弁及び電動式膨張弁5の開度調整は、庫内温度Tisがオン設定温度Ton以下となっても、オフ設定温度Toffを上回っている期間は継続的に実行される。   When the internal temperature Tis becomes equal to or higher than the on-set temperature Ton at the timing t1, the compressor 2 is started, the electromagnetic valve 4 is opened, and the refrigerant flow path 12a is opened. Further, in response to the opening of the solenoid valve 4, the opening adjustment of the electric expansion valve 5 based on the PID calculation is started, and the flow rate of the refrigerant circulating in the refrigeration cycle is adjusted. The operation of the compressor 2, the opening of the electromagnetic valve 4, and the opening adjustment of the electric expansion valve 5 are performed while the internal temperature Tis is equal to or lower than the on-set temperature Ton. It is executed continuously.

そして、庫内の温度が低下し、タイミングt2において、庫内温度Tisがオフ設定温度Toffに達すると、圧縮機2の運転が停止されるとともに、電磁弁4が閉じられて冷媒流路12aが閉鎖される。また、電磁弁4の閉弁に応答して、電動式膨張弁5への電動弁駆動信号EVの出力が停止され(駆動パルス数をゼロの状態とする)、電動式膨張弁5の開度調整が中断される。その結果、電動式膨張弁5の開度は、開度調整が停止された際の開度のままとなり、以後、開度調整が再開されるまで、その状態が維持される。   Then, when the internal temperature decreases and the internal temperature Tis reaches the OFF set temperature Toff at timing t2, the operation of the compressor 2 is stopped, the electromagnetic valve 4 is closed, and the refrigerant flow path 12a is opened. Closed. Further, in response to the closing of the electromagnetic valve 4, the output of the electric valve drive signal EV to the electric expansion valve 5 is stopped (the number of drive pulses is zero), and the opening degree of the electric expansion valve 5 is increased. Adjustment is interrupted. As a result, the opening degree of the electric expansion valve 5 remains the same as the opening degree when the opening degree adjustment is stopped, and thereafter the state is maintained until the opening degree adjustment is resumed.

その後、庫内の温度が上昇し、タイミングt3において、庫内温度Tisが再びオン設定温度Tonに達すると、圧縮機2の運転が再開されるとともに、電磁弁4が開かれる。このとき、電動式膨張弁5の開度調整も再開されるが、再開時点での電動式膨張弁5の開度は、開度調整を停止した際の開度(タイミングt2時点での開度)になっているため、圧縮機2の運転を再開した後の電動式膨張弁5の開度の増減は、開度調整を停止した際の開度を始点として開始されることになる。   Thereafter, when the internal temperature rises and the internal temperature Tis reaches the on-set temperature Ton again at timing t3, the operation of the compressor 2 is resumed and the electromagnetic valve 4 is opened. At this time, the adjustment of the opening degree of the electric expansion valve 5 is also resumed. However, the opening degree of the electric expansion valve 5 at the time of resumption is the opening degree when the adjustment of the opening degree is stopped (the opening degree at the timing t2). Therefore, the increase / decrease in the opening degree of the electric expansion valve 5 after restarting the operation of the compressor 2 is started from the opening degree when the opening degree adjustment is stopped.

このため、上記の際の電動式膨張弁5の操作量は、PID演算により導出される目標開度から開度調整を停止した時点での開度を差し引いたものとなり、従来のように全閉の状態から目標開度に遷移させる場合に比べて、電動式膨張弁5の操作量を格段に小さくすることができる。従って、電動弁駆動信号EVの駆動パルス数を少なく留めることができ、圧縮機2のオン/オフ切り換えに伴う駆動パルス数の消費量を大幅に削減することが可能になる。   For this reason, the operation amount of the electric expansion valve 5 at the time described above is obtained by subtracting the opening when the opening adjustment is stopped from the target opening derived by the PID calculation, and is fully closed as in the prior art. The amount of operation of the electric expansion valve 5 can be remarkably reduced as compared with the case where the target opening degree is changed from this state. Therefore, the number of drive pulses of the electric valve drive signal EV can be kept small, and the consumption of the number of drive pulses accompanying the on / off switching of the compressor 2 can be greatly reduced.

以上のように、本実施の形態によれば、凝縮器3と蒸発器6の間に電磁弁4を設けた上で、圧縮機2の運転を停止するときには、電磁弁4を閉じるとともに、電動式膨張弁5の開度を圧縮機2の運転を停止したときの開度で維持し、圧縮機2の運転を再開するときには、電磁弁4を開くとともに、電動式膨張弁5の開度制御を圧縮機2の運転を停止したときの開度から開始するため、圧縮機2の運転を停止したときの庫内温度の上昇を防止しながら、圧縮機2を停止した際の電動式膨張弁5の全閉動作、及び圧縮機2を起動した際の電動式膨張弁5の開弁動作を不要とすることができる。   As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the operation of the compressor 2 is stopped after the electromagnetic valve 4 is provided between the condenser 3 and the evaporator 6, the electromagnetic valve 4 is closed and the electric motor is operated. The opening degree of the expansion valve 5 is maintained at the opening degree when the operation of the compressor 2 is stopped, and when the operation of the compressor 2 is resumed, the electromagnetic valve 4 is opened and the opening degree control of the electric expansion valve 5 is performed. Is started from the opening when the operation of the compressor 2 is stopped, so that the electric expansion valve when the compressor 2 is stopped while preventing the rise in the internal temperature when the operation of the compressor 2 is stopped 5 and the opening operation of the electric expansion valve 5 when the compressor 2 is started can be made unnecessary.

このため、圧縮機2のオン/オフを切り換える都度、電動式膨張弁5の開度を大きく変更する必要がなくなり、駆動パルス数の消費量を大幅に削減することができる。従って、電動式膨張弁5の長寿命化を図ることが可能になり、ひいては、冷凍・冷蔵ショーケースの信頼性を向上させることが可能になる。   For this reason, it is not necessary to largely change the opening degree of the electric expansion valve 5 each time the compressor 2 is switched on / off, and the consumption of the number of drive pulses can be greatly reduced. Therefore, it is possible to extend the life of the electric expansion valve 5 and to improve the reliability of the freezing / refrigerating showcase.

尚、上記実施の形態においては、電磁弁4を電動式膨張弁5の上流側(凝縮器3と電動式膨張弁5の間)に設けるが、電磁弁4の配置位置は、凝縮器3と蒸発器6の間であれば、特に限定されるものではなく、電磁弁4を電動式膨張弁5の下流側(電動式膨張弁5と蒸発器6の間)に設けることもできる。   In the above embodiment, the electromagnetic valve 4 is provided on the upstream side of the electric expansion valve 5 (between the condenser 3 and the electric expansion valve 5). If it is between the evaporators 6, it will not specifically limit, The electromagnetic valve 4 can also be provided in the downstream of the electric expansion valve 5 (between the electric expansion valve 5 and the evaporator 6).

また、上記実施の形態においては、説明の便宜上、温度制御部10と過熱度制御部11を別々の制御部として構成したが、これらを一体化して単一のマイクロコンピュータ等から構成することもできる。その場合、温度制御部10から過熱度制御部11に向けての電磁弁4の開閉を示す情報(電磁弁駆動信号SV)の伝達は、マイクロコンピュータの内部処理で行うようにすればよい。   Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the temperature control part 10 and the superheat degree control part 11 were comprised as a separate control part for convenience of explanation, these can also be integrated and comprised from a single microcomputer. . In that case, transmission of information (solenoid valve drive signal SV) indicating opening / closing of the electromagnetic valve 4 from the temperature control unit 10 toward the superheat degree control unit 11 may be performed by internal processing of the microcomputer.

さらに、上記実施の形態においては、電磁弁駆動信号SVを過熱度制御部11に出力することで、電磁弁4の開閉状態を過熱度制御部11に伝達するが、必ずしも電磁弁駆動信号SVを用いる必要はなく、電磁弁4の開閉状態を示す信号であれば、他の信号を過熱度制御部11に出力するようにしてもよい。   Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the solenoid valve drive signal SV is output to the superheat degree control unit 11 so that the open / close state of the solenoid valve 4 is transmitted to the superheat degree control unit 11, but the solenoid valve drive signal SV is not necessarily transmitted. There is no need to use it, and other signals may be output to the superheat degree control unit 11 as long as they indicate the open / closed state of the solenoid valve 4.

また、上記実施の形態においては、電動式膨張弁5の開度をPID制御する場合を例にとって説明したが、制御方法は、P(比例)制御でも、PI(比例積分)制御、PD(比例微分)制御であってもよい。   In the above embodiment, the case where the opening degree of the electric expansion valve 5 is controlled by PID has been described as an example. However, the control method is P (proportional) control, PI (proportional integral) control, PD (proportional). Differentiation) control may be used.
