Abstract

A speed control system of a fan motor of an air conditioner is disclosed. A speed control system of a fan motor of an air conditioner comprises: an inverter having a power output terminal connected to a single-phase power input terminal of the fan motor which has a single-phase stator including a main coil and a sub coil, an induction rotor and a permanent magnet rotor installed between the stator and the induction rotor; and a three-phase driving motor connected to the power output terminal of the inverter and driving a compressor of an air conditioner by power received from the inverter.

Claims (24)

1. A speed control system of a fan motor of an air conditioner comprising:

an inverter having a power output terminal connected to a single-phase power input terminal of the fan motor which has a single-phase stator including a main coil and a sub coil, an induction rotor and a permanent magnet rotor provided between the stator and the induction rotor, the inverter configured to control a speed of the fan motor; and

a three-phase driving motor connected to the power output terminal of the inverter and driving a compressor of an air conditioner by power received from the inverter,

wherein both the three-phase driving motor of the compressor and the single-phase fan motor are directly connected to the inverter.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the fan motor receives single-phase power from the power output terminal of the inverter that supplies three-phase power to the three-phase driving motor.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the number of poles of the fan motor is three times greater than the number of poles of the three-phase driving motor that drives the compressor.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the number of poles of the three-phase driving motor of the compressor and the number of poles of the fan motor are six and eighteen, four and twelve, or two and six, respectively.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the three-phase driving motor is a three-phase brushless direct current (BLDC) motor.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the three-phase driving motor is a three-phase induction motor.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the three-phase driving motor is a three-phase hybrid induction motor (HIM).

8. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a controller that outputs a control signal to control the inverter in order to vary a compression capacity of the compressor according to an indoor temperature and a desired temperature of a user.

9. A speed control system of a fan motor of an air conditioner comprising:

an inverter having a power output terminal connected to a three-phase power input terminal of a fan motor which has a three-phase stator including a three-phase balancing coil, an induction rotor and a permanent magnet rotor provided between the stator and the induction rotor, the inverter configured to control a speed of the fan motor; and

a three-phase driving motor connected to the power output terminal of the inverter and driving a compressor of an air conditioner by power received from the inverter,

wherein both the three-phase driving motor of the compressor and the single-phase fan motor are directly connected to the inverter.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the fan motor receives three-phase power from the power output terminal of the inverter that supplies three-phase power to the three-phase driving motor.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the number of poles of the fan motor is three times greater than the number of poles of the three-phase driving motor that drives the compressor.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the number of poles of the three-phase driving motor of the compressor and the number of poles of the fan motor are six and eighteen, four and twelve, or two and six, respectively.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the three-phase driving motor is a three-phase BLDC motor.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the three-phase driving motor is a three-phase induction motor.

15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the three-phase driving motor is a three-phase HIM(hybrid induction motor).

16. The system of claim 9 , further comprising:

a controller that outputs a control signal to control the inverter in order to vary a compression capacity of the compressor according to an indoor temperature and a desired temperature of a user.
