DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DISCLOSURE

(12) In order that the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present disclosure can be understood more clearly, a further detailed description of the present disclosure will be given below in connection with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other if there is no conflict.

(13) In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present disclosure. However, the present disclosure can also be implemented in other manners than those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present disclosure is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

(14) A compressor and an refrigeration device, according to certain embodiments of the present disclosure, are shown broadly in FIGS. 1-7 and will be described as follows in details with reference to the figures.

(15) As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a compressor 1, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, is used with a refrigeration device 100 (shown in FIG. 8). The refrigeration device includes a coupling assembly 110 and a frequency converter 10 connected to one end of the coupling assembly. The compressor 1 includes a first shell. The compressor 1 further includes a permanent magnet motor 20 that is set in the first shell and connected to the other end of the coupling assembly. The permanent magnet motor 20 has a critical rotation speed designated by n0. The permanent magnet motor 20 further includes a plurality of poles, and the number of the poles is designated by P. The permanent magnet motor 20 has a winding 206. When the winding 206 of the permanent magnet motor 20 is in a star connection, a busbar voltage of the frequency converter 10 is designated by Udc, a no-load back-EMF coefficient of the permanent magnet motor 20 is designated by E0, when a preset rotation speed of the permanent magnet motor 20 is set to n1, a direct axis inductance of the permanent magnet motor 20 is designated by Ld, and an output current of the frequency converter 10 is designated by I1, a relationship between the E0, the P, the I1, the Ld, the n1, and the Udc satisfies (E0−P×I1×Ld)×n1≥0.6 Udc, wherein n1<n0, and n0−n1≤1 r/s. When the winding 206 of the permanent magnet motor 20 is in the star connection, a rotation speed of the permanent magnet motor 20 is less than the n0.

(16) The critical rotation speed of the permanent magnet motor 20 of the compressor 1 provided by the present disclosure is n0. When the winding 206 of the permanent magnet motor 20 is in the star connection, the rotation speed of the permanent magnet motor 20 is less than n0. When the winding 206 of the permanent magnet motor 20 is in an angle connection, the rotation speed of the permanent magnet motor 20 is greater than n0. Under the premise that the winding 206 of the permanent magnet motor 20 is in the angle connection, by properly setting a relationship between the E0, the P, the I1, the Ld, the n1 and the Udc to enable these parameters to satisfy (E0−P×I1×Ld)×n1≥0.6 Udc, the permanent magnet motor 20 can achieve high efficiency performance at both low speeds and high speeds. As a result, the purpose of higher performance of the product in the entire frequency band can be achieved. Furthermore, by properly setting the preset rotation speed n1, the relationship between the critical rotation speed n0 and the rotation speed n1 can satisfy n1<n0, and n0−n1≤1 r/s. When the rotation speed n1 is close to the critical rotation speed n0, the permanent magnet motor 20 with the winding 206 in the star connection mode has a certain field weakening angle, and the performance of the permanent magnet motor 20 decreases as the rotation speed increases. When the rotation speed of permanent magnet motor 20 is greater than the critical rotation speed n0 and is very close to the critical rotation speed n0, the permanent magnet motor 20 with the winding 206 in an angle connection mode has a weak magnetic field, and the performance of the permanent magnet motor 20 increases as the rotation speed increases. As a result, it can be ensured that, near the critical speed n0, the permanent magnet motor 20 has a certain depth of the weak magnetic field when the winding 206 is in the star connection; and it can be also ensured that, near the critical speed n0, the permanent magnet motor 20 has a certain range, in which the rotation speed of the permanent magnet motor 20 increases without causing magnetic field weakening, when the winding 206 is in the angle connection. Thus, if it is desirable to switch the connection mode of the winding 206 of the permanent magnet motor 20, the switching operation is smoother, the impact can be greatly reduced, the transition is more stable, the product's operating energy efficiency is improved, and the product's performance and market competitiveness are improved. For example, the unit of the critical rotation speed n0 is rps, the unit of the busbar voltage Udc is V, the unit of the no-load back-EMF coefficient E0 is V/rps, the unit of the preset rotation speed n1 is rps, the unit of the direct axis inductance Ld is H, and the unit of the output current I1 is A.

(17) In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the number of selector switches 40 can be 6, namely S1, S2, S3, S4, S5 and S6. The permanent magnet motor 20 is powered by the frequency converter 10, and 6 selector switches 40 are set in the coupling assembly. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, when S1, S2, and S3 are on, and S4, S5, and S6 are off, the winding 206 of the permanent magnet motor 20 is in the star connection. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, when S1, S2 and S3 are off, S4, S5 and S6 are on, the winding 206 of the permanent magnet motor 20 is in the angle connection.

(18) In one embodiment of the present disclosure, optionally, a value range of the n0 is n0≥40 r/s.

(19) In the embodiment, by properly setting the value range of the critical rotation speed n0 to n0≥40 r/s, when the rotation speed of the permanent magnet motor 20 is within the critical rotation speed n0, the efficiency of the star connection winding 206 of permanent magnet motor 20 is in a declining mode, and the efficiency of the angle connection winding 206 of the permanent magnet motor 20 is in a rising mode, thereby ensuring that the product has higher performance in the entire frequency band. At the same time, if the winding 206 connection method of the permanent magnet motor 20 is switched in the above region, the switching is smoother, the impact can be greatly reduced, the transition is more stable, the product's operating energy efficiency is improved, and the product's performance and market competitiveness are improved.
