The invention preferred forms
Now will be in detail with reference to specific embodiments of the invention, the example of each specific embodiment is shown in the drawings.When possibility, identical Reference numeral is used to refer to same or similar parts in institute's drawings attached.
Fig. 3 illustrates the control circuit according to the dryer of an embodiment.With reference to figure 3, with the control circuit that describes in detail according to the dryer of preferred embodiment.
As shown in Figure 3, the control circuit according to the dryer of this embodiment comprises sensing circuit and microcomputer 60.This sensing circuit based on the output pulse signal that contacts of clothing.This microcomputer 60 is determined the oven dry ratio of clothing based on the pulse signal of exporting, and controls the whole drying and processing of this dryer.
Sensing circuit comprises electrode sensor 30, comparator 40 and photoelectrical coupler 50.Voltage signal corresponding to impedance phase that electrode sensor 30 outputs produce when contacting clothing with this electrode sensor 30.Comparator 40 is made comparisons this voltage signal and predetermined standard voltage, and the output comparative result.The signal output pulse signal that photoelectrical coupler 50 is exported based on this comparator 40.
According to the above-mentioned syndeton of sensing circuit, the output stage of electrode sensor 30 is connected with the anti-phase terminal (-) of comparator 40.(R2 is connected predetermined normal voltage and is connected with the noninverting terminal (+) of comparator 40 with R3 by voltage grading resistor.In addition, the output stage of comparator 40 is connected with the optical transmitting set of photoelectrical coupler 50, and this optical transmitting set is light emitting diode, and the concentrator of photoelectrical coupler 50 is connected with the input of microcomputer 60, and this concentrator is phototransistor.
Preferably when the clothing of drying fully contacts with electrode sensor 30, the normal voltage of comparator 40 is pre and is lower than the voltage level that the opposite end at this electrode senses.That is, if fully oven dry of clothing then produces the voltage signal less than this normal voltage, although and have between clothing and the electrode sensor 30 to contact and also do not generate the pulse signal of being exported by microcomputer 60.
Sensing circuit according to the present invention proposes a kind of oven dry ratio method for sensing of novelty, and the method is determined the oven dry ratio with the contact quantity of clothing rather than with directly contacting quantity.In addition, can not use by using the direct contact method of electrode sensor 30, so that it can use auxiliary DC power (5V) and the ground connection of separating with the motor drive circuit that comprises phase inverter according to sensing circuit of the present invention.According to being provided with photoelectrical coupler 50 in the sensing circuit of the present invention, so that electrode sensor 30 and microcomputer 60 electric insulations.
More specifically, when cylinder 3 rotations and clothing contact with electrode sensor 30, generate with at voltage signal corresponding to the impedance phase of two electrode tips generations of this electrode sensor 30, and this voltage signal is input to the anti-phase terminal (-) of this comparator 40.
Therefore, comparator 40 is made comparisons the voltage signal of electrode sensor 30 with the predetermined standard voltage that is input to non-negative terminal (+).If because the not fully clothing of oven dry and input voltage signal greater than predetermined standard voltage, the then high signal of comparator 40 outputs.
Based on the high signal by these comparator 40 outputs, the optical transmitting set utilizing emitted light of photoelectrical coupler 50.Thereby, led to by this photoconduction as the phototransistor of concentrator, and pulse signal is transferred to microcomputer 60.
That is, no matter when not the contact with clothing electrode sensor 30 of oven dry once just produces a pulse signal.If this clothing is completely dried and exports the voltage signal that is lower than normal voltage, although then clothing contacts with electrode sensor 30 and also do not produce pulse signal.
60 pairs of microcomputers for example in 1 minute the time per unit by the number count of the pulse signal of photoelectrical coupler 50 outputs, and use the number of pulses (number of pulses/1 minute) of this time per unit to determine the oven dry ratio of clothing and dry the deadline.
More specifically, the ratio of the clothing of oven dry is not higher fully, and then the number of pulses of time per unit is more.The ratio of the clothing of oven dry is higher fully, and then the number of pulses of time per unit is fewer.As a result, the number of pulses of predetermined time per unit is used as the predetermined value input, and if the number of pulses of measured time per unit reach this predetermined value, determine that then oven dry finishes.
On the other hand, the applicant tests, wherein based on the kind of clothing and the number of pulses of takeoff time per unit.Fig. 4 is the count results according to the number of pulses of the time per unit of each experiment, and Fig. 4 is the curve map that the count value of per minute pulse signal is shown.
With reference to figure 4, most clothings are moist during initial oven dry, thereby larger with the number of pulses that contacts time per unit between the electrode sensor 30 based on clothing.Oven dry is performed and drying clothes is increasing along with leading, and the number of pulses of time per unit tails off.
Target oven dry ratio is variable according to the oven dry type of for example pressing dried (Iron), sunshine (Light) and conventional oven dry.As a result, search and predetermined number of pulses of drying the time per unit of ratio corresponding to target in system.That is, if during baking tail off with the number of pulses that contacts time per unit between the electrode sensor 30 based on clothing and reach predetermined value, determine that then clothes drying finishes.
For example, if be 0 (zero) corresponding to the predetermined value of normal mode, then the number of pulses of time per unit reaches 0 and can determine that number of pulses reaches target oven dry ratio, and this expression clothes drying is finished.
On the other hand, if there is not clothing to be placed in the cylinder 3, this is called does not have load, and the clothes that then contacts with electrode sensor 30 may not exist.Even when cylinder 3 stopped because of the fault of system, the relative motion between electrode 30 and the clothing did not also exist, thereby does not produce pulse signal in the sensing circuit.
As a result, can by whether contact with clothing or clothing and sensing circuit between the quantity that contacts not have in the sensing roller 3 load and cut off the suspension status of the cylinder 3 that causes by motor locking mistake or motor belt 112.
Fig. 5 illustrates according to the sensed flow chart with control method that dryer is controlled of the oven dry ratio of the wherein clothing of an embodiment.
With reference to figure 5, will the control method that the dryer with above-mentioned sensing circuit according to the present invention is dried ratio by sensing be described now.
The first, when the user put into wet clothes cylinder 3 and presses starting command (S510), microcomputer 60 sensing starting commands also moved motor 10 with operation cylinder 3 and ventilation blower 13.
Heater 5 is moved, and the extraneous air that sucks by ventilation blower 13 is heated.After that, air is forced to suck swing roller 3 by aspirating air pipe 7.At this moment, be inhaled into the moisture of hot-air evaporation clothing of cylinder 3 with drying clothes.Thereby hot-air becomes the air of low temperature and high relative humidity, and passes through lint duct 8 and discharge duct 15 (S520) before being discharged from.
When during baking above process was repeated, microcomputer 60 received the pulse signal from sensing circuit, and to the number of pulses counting (S530) of time per unit.
Determine whether the number of pulses that time per unit is counted reaches predetermined value (S540).If the number of pulses that time per unit records reaches predetermined value, determine that then all processes that clothes drying is finished and dried finish (S550).
On the other hand, Fig. 6 illustrates whether to pass through in the sensing dryer flow chart of out of order control method according to the dryer of another preferred embodiment.
With reference to figure 6, will describe the control method that has the dryer of sensing circuit according to of the present invention in detail now.
When the user put into wet clothes cylinder 3 and presses starting command (S610), microcomputer 60 operation motors 10 also moved cylinder 3 and ventilation blower 13.
Therefore, heater 5 is moved, and the extraneous air heating to sucking by ventilation blower 13.This air is forced to suck swing roller 3 by aspirating air pipe 7.At this moment, be inhaled into the moisture of hot-air evaporation clothing of cylinder 3 with drying clothes.Thereby hot-air becomes the low temperature and high relative humidity air, and this air is discharged from by lint duct 8 and discharge duct 15.
Carry out the oven dry (S620) of using high temperature and oven dry hot-air by above process.
During baking, microcomputer 60 determines whether pulse signal is exported from sensing circuit.If pulse signal is output, then the number of pulses of 60 pairs of time per units of microcomputer is counted (S630).
When whether definite pulse signal was output, microcomputer 60 determined at for example the first rear 2 minutes scheduled time slot of oven dry starting whether pulse output (S640) is arranged.
Based on this result (S640), if pulse signal is output, determine that then dryer is normally carried out.Therefore, heater 5 and motor 10 keep operation to continue to carry out oven dry.Whether the number of pulses that definite during baking time per unit is counted reaches predetermined value, and this predetermined value is settle the standard (S645) that oven dry is finished.
Therefore, if the number of pulses of time per unit reaches predetermined value, then definite clothes drying is finished, so that all drying and processings finish (S680).
If do not have output of pulse signal at the first scheduled time slot after the oven dry beginning, then it determines that substantially fault is arranged in the dryer, thereby heater 5 stops (S650) under the state of motor 10 operations.
Preferably, if do not have output of pulse signal at the first scheduled time slot, then the operation of heater 5 is stopped to prevent that cylinder 3 interior temperature from raising.In addition, do not have pulse signal to represent that fault is arranged in the dryer, but it also may represent the simple sense failure of pulse signal, thereby motor 10 should continue operation.
Therefore, whether at for example oven dry beginning rear 8 minute second scheduled time slot have output of pulse signal, and again determine in the dryer whether fault (S660) is arranged if determining.
At this moment, if at the second scheduled time slot but not the first scheduled time slot senses pulse signal, then it does not represent not have load or be in the cylinder suspension status, thereby (S665) reset in the operation of heater 5.Therefore, number of pulses and the predetermined value of time per unit made comparisons, also determine whether the oven dry of clothing finishes (S645).
If do not have output of pulse signal at the second scheduled time slot, determine that then fault occurs substantially in dryer, thereby the operation of the operation of motor 10 and heater 5 is stopped to stop all baking steps (S670).At this moment, preferred output error message comes the display system mistake with the display unit by dryer.
That is, if do not have output of pulse signal at the second scheduled time slot, then determine not have load or be in the cylinder suspension status, and preferably all of halt system move to prevent accident such as damage of product or fire.
The novel sensing circuit that contacts quantity rather than the direct contact by using electrode sensor of use and clothing is provided as mentioned above.As a result, but whether the system failure is arranged in the sensing dryer, but and the also oven dry ratio of sensing clothing clothing during baking.
To those skilled in the art, obviously can do various modifications or variation to the present invention, and not deviate from the spirit or scope of the present invention.Thereby the present invention is intended to be encompassed in of the present invention various modifications and the variant that provides in the scope of claims and their equivalents.
