Detailed Description

The inventor finds that in the idle process of the air compressor, the bus current of the motor of the air compressor can be increased along with the rotating speed, in the loading process after the rotating speed is stable, the bus current can be increased according to a parabolic curve, and reaches the maximum value of the bus current at a pressure value, after the pressure value, the bus current can be reduced, and the bus current can be greatly reduced before the surge point, and the slope can be greatly increased. Meanwhile, in the continuous pressure increasing process of the air compressor, the air quantity at the air outlet is continuously reduced, the reduction amplitude has a fixed slope, and when the slope fluctuates greatly, the air compressor enters a surge area. However, if the bus current drops greatly and/or the slope fluctuates greatly, the surge is not necessarily generated, and if the bus current drops greatly or the slope fluctuates greatly, the problem of false alarm is generated, so the invention also introduces the reference quantity of real-time vibration monitoring, and only 3 reference quantities are simultaneously provided, the real-time control is performed, thereby accurately monitoring and preventing the surge of the air compressor, and the air compressor is always in the optimal working condition.
