Patent number: 9829226Abstract: An object of the present invention is to maintain a heating amount constant when a compressor is heated at the time of shutdown of the compressor, regardless of the influences of production tolerance and environment variations. An inverter control unit causes an inverter to generate a high-frequency AC voltage having a de-energized section in which a voltage applied from the inverter to a motor is zero between a section in which the voltage is positive and a section in which the voltage is negative. At this time, the inverter control unit detects a value of a current flowing to the inverter in a detection section residing from immediately before a start of the de-energized section to immediately after an end of the de-energized section, and causes the inverter to generate a high-frequency AC voltage adjusted according to the detected current value.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2011Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Kazunori Hatakeyama, Takuya Shimomugi, Shinya Matsushita, Shinsaku Kusube, Tsutomu Makino

Patent number: 9829234Abstract: A heat pump device includes an inverter control unit outputting PWM signals to an inverter; a current detection unit detecting a current value flowing in the inverter and outputting the current value after reducing a current value having a first frequency or higher in detected current value; and a drive-signal stop unit that, when the current value output from the current detection unit is equal to or larger than an interruption level, stops output of PWM signals to the inverter. Particularly, the inverter control unit generates a voltage command value such that the voltage command value becomes a value equal to or larger than a lower limit determined according to the first frequency and generates PWM signals based on generated voltage command value and a carrier signal, thereby causing a voltage output time to the motor to be a predetermined time or longer.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2011Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Kazunori Hatakeyama, Syota Kamiya, Kenta Yuasa, Shinya Matsushita, Shinsaku Kusube, Tsutomu Makino

Patent number: 9772131Abstract: A heat pump device capable of efficiently and reliably preventing a liquid refrigerant from stagnating in a compressor an air conditioner, a heat pump water heater, a refrigerator, and a freezing machine including the heat pump device. The configuration is such that, when the compressor is under operation standby, a high-frequency voltage synchronizing with a carrier signal is supplied to the compressor motor to carry out the locked energization of the compressor motor.
