The effect of present embodiment then, is described with reference to Fig. 4 to Fig. 8.Fig. 4 is the general flowchart of a series of operation action of scrubbing-and-drying unit.At first, after cylinder 7 water fillings, make cylinder 7 rotatings, clean action (step S1) with the rotating speed of about 46rpm.
Then, carry out centre dehydration after, the rinsing action is carried out in water filling once again, but in the middle of the rotating speed of cylinder 7 in the dehydration be about 1200rpm, the rinsing action is and same about 46rpm (step S2) is moved in cleaning.
Then, carry out final dewatering with the about 1700rpm of rotating speed after, make compressor 27 and fan 24 actions, send warm braw to cylinder 7, with about 46rpm rotating, carry out removal moisture drying and move (step S3).
Fig. 5 is illustrated in a series of action shown in Figure 4, and control circuit 42B is that IGBT48 switches and controls the flow chart of the processing of driving power voltage to short-circuit unit.Clean in action, the rinsing action, with about 46rpm rotating (step S11: be), then IGBT48 keeps cut-off state, the not short circuit of input side of full-wave rectifying circuit 45 as if cylinder 7.That is, boost action is not carried out (step S12).
When centre dehydration and final dewatering action make cylinder 7 high speeds rotate like that (step S13: be), in order to make IGBT48 (between the zero passage of voltage waveform (zero cross) point) repeatedly (for example 2 times) conducting in the half period of AC supply voltage, apply pulse signal (short circuit pulse) to grid, make the input side short circuit (step S14) of full-wave rectifying circuit 45.
That is, make the input side short circuit of IGBT48 conducting and full-wave rectifying circuit 45 after, reactor 44 therebetween can be accumulated electromagnetic energy, IGBT48 then flows through reactor 44 with the corresponding electric current of the energy of accumulating, thereby carries out boost action if end then.
At this moment, even the time of IGBT48 conducting is long,, limited by the voltage that 1 short circuit can be boosted because the electromagnetic energy that reactor 44 is accumulated is saturated.But, in the half period of AC supply voltage, carry out short circuit if repeatedly make the IGBT48 conducting, then can booster voltage be risen according to this number of times.
In addition, in the present embodiment, detect alternating current, but in the commercial ac power source, owing to voltage, electric current homophase, so the zero crossing of alternating current is consistent with the zero crossing of alternating voltage by current sensor 52.
In addition, when cleaning, rinsing action do not make cylinder 7 rotatings and dehydration action that cylinder 7 is rotated at a high speed like that (step S13: deny), judge whether to flow through big electric current (for example, more than the consumed power 600W) (step S15) by compressor 27 actions.
If flow through big electric current (step S15: be, for example in drying action, by when the indoor air conditioning function that send cold wind moves, there is the rotating speed of compression motor 28 to rise, the situation that refrigerant pressure rises etc.), then IGBT48 conducting in the half period of AC supply voltage makes the input side short circuit (step S16) of full-wave rectifying circuit 45.
This occasion is not a boost action, but improves the action (the higher harmonic restraining braking is done) of the power factor of power supply.
Fig. 6 is the sequential chart of representing from the stroke that cleans to dehydration, and the flow process of stroke ratio Fig. 4 is more detailed.Before the feedwater beginning, the weight of reading washings, carry out the rinsing action before, spray feedwater and middle dehydration are carried out 2 times repeatedly.
Fig. 7 presentation graphs 5 carries out the variable condition of power supply when control supply voltage like that, as the operating condition of scrubbing-and-drying unit, is to dewater and make compressor 27 actions, the situation that amounts to about 650W (AC supply voltage 105V) of input power.
Shown in Fig. 7 (a), when IGBT48 kept in cut-off state, output current was that the DC voltage of 295V is because the influence of output current and line impedence is reduced to 230V under zero the state.
According to this state, shown in Fig. 7 (b), make IGBT48 in the half period of AC supply voltage after the conducting 1 time (S16 is corresponding with step), the power-factor improvement of alternating current, higher hamonic wave also reduces, and DC voltage rising is to 265V.
And shown in Fig. 7 (c), making IGBT48 in the half period of AC supply voltage after 2 conductings (S14 is corresponding with step), DC voltage rising is to 295V.This occasion, the conducting of IGBT48 regularly are at the 0.6m of the 2m that begins from zero crossing after second between second, and 0.3m between the second conducting of 2m after second again.
The maximum speed of accessible rotary drum electrical motor 5 during Fig. 8 (a) expression dc source voltage change, along with supply voltage uprises, maximum speed also rises.Thereby the time of dehydration running, dry operating can shorten.
In addition, Fig. 8 (b) expression makes voltage change equally, and the rotating speed that makes rotary drum electrical motor 5 is the consumed power of the inverter circuit 34 of 1200rpm certain hour.
This occasion is judged as along with supply voltage uprises, and consumed power reduces, and is reduced to 223W from 240W, and slip is 7.6%.
According to above present embodiment, the rotation speed change of the control parameter rotary drum electrical motor 5 when control circuit 42B turns round according to dehydration makes the number of times of short circuit between the input terminal of full-wave rectifying circuit 45 by IGBT48 in change during the zero passage timing of the voltage waveform of AC power.
Thereby, the electromagnetic energy that can effectively utilize reactor 44 to accumulate, the dc source boost in voltage that rectification circuit 45 is exported.
Thereby, the rotating speed of dehydration running intermediate roll motor 5 is further risen, improve dewatering efficiency, suppress current drain, realize economizing electrification.
When control circuit 42B carried out 2 short circuits during the zero passage timing of above-mentioned voltage waveform, in the high more timing of the wave amplitude of voltage waveform, short circuit duration was short more, therefore can reduce the distortion of AC current waveform, improves power factor.In addition, can realize constituting the protection of the IGBT35 of inverter circuit 34.
In addition, even control circuit 42B in the occasion of running and drive compression machine 27 of dewatering, is the variation of output current according to the parameter of controlling compressor 27 also, change the number of times of short circuit between the input terminal that makes rectification circuit 45 by IGBT48.
Thereby, in the occasion of big current direction compressor 23, can improve power factor, reduce higher hamonic wave, dc source voltage is risen, suppress current drain.

At this moment, final dewatering divided for 4 stages carried out, and the maximum speed of the rotary drum electrical motor 5 in each dehydration action is set for according to 400rpm, 700rpm, 950rpm, 1700rpm and risen gradually.
Figure 10 represents the processing details corresponding with the step S14 of Fig. 5.Whether the setting of judging rotating speed is more than 950rpm (step S21), if (be) further to judge whether more than 1450rpm (step S22) more than 950rpm.If (be) that then 3 output short-circuit pulses (step S23) make 3 short circuits of input terminal of rectification circuit 45 in the half period of AC supply voltage, dc source voltage is further boosted more than 1450rpm.
In addition, among the step S22, rotating speed is as if not enough 1450rpm (N=0), and is then same with the 1st embodiment, 2 output short-circuit pulses (step S25).In addition, step S22 medium speed is because the middle dehydration of cleaning in the action is 1200rpm as threshold value with 1450rpm.
According to the 2nd above embodiment, control circuit 42B rotating speed along with rotary drum electrical motor 5 when dewatering running improves, and increases the number of times of short circuit between the input terminal that makes rectification circuit 45, therefore, dc source voltage is further risen, improve the rotating speed of motor 5.
(the 3rd embodiment)
Figure 11 is the 3rd embodiment, and the part different with the 2nd embodiment is described.Figure 11 is the figure suitable with Figure 10, and the step S21A of step of replacing S21, S22, the content of the judgement among the S22A are different.
Control circuit 42B detects the interchange input current (control parameter) that drives with power circuit 43 by current sensor 52, judges whether the virtual value of this electric current is 3 amperes [A] above (step S21A).If current effective value (is) further to judge whether it is (step S22A) more than 5 amperes more than 3 amperes.If more than 5 amperes (be), execution in step S23,3 output short-circuit pulses make 3 short circuits of input terminal of rectification circuit 45 in the half period of AC supply voltage.
If 5 amperes of less thaies (denying), execution in step S25,2 output short-circuit pulses.
That is, it is corresponding with the rotating speed height of rotary drum electrical motor 5 to drive the size of using the interchange input current in the power circuit 43, and therefore the situation of the 3rd embodiment also can obtain the effect same with the 2nd embodiment.
(the 4th embodiment)
Figure 12 is the 4th embodiment, and the part different with the 3rd embodiment is described.Figure 12 is the figure suitable with Figure 11, among the step S21B of step of replacing S21A, S22A, the S22B, replaces driving detects the input current (control parameter) of rotary drum electrical motor 5 with the interchange input current of power circuit 43 virtual value.This occasion disposes current sensor for example either party of the power source bus of inverter circuit 34 and gets final product.
Whether control circuit 42B judges the input current virtual value of rotary drum electrical motor 5 at (step S21B) more than 1.5 amperes, and current effective value is if (be) further to judge whether more than 2.2A (step S22B) more than 1.5 amperes.
Current effective value is if more than 2.2A (step S22B is), execution in step S23 then, 3 output short-circuit pulses.If 5 amperes of less thaies (denying), execution in step S25 then, 2 output short-circuit pulses.
That is, the size of the interchange input current of rotary drum electrical motor 5 is corresponding with the rotating speed of rotary drum electrical motor 5 height, and therefore the situation of the 4th embodiment also can obtain the effect same with the 3rd embodiment.
(the 5th embodiment)
Figure 13 is the 5th embodiment, illustrates and different parts such as the 3rd embodiment.Figure 13 is the figure suitable with Figure 11, in step S21C, the S22C of step of replacing S21A, S22A, detects the ac input power (control parameter) that drives with power circuit 43.
This occasion, the voltage sensor that disposes the instrumentation AC-input voltage as required gets final product.Whether control circuit 42B judge drives with the input power of power circuit 43 300 watts (W) more than (step S21C), and input power is as if (being) then further to judge whether at (step S22C) more than 500 watts more than 300 watts.
If more than 500 watts (be), if execution in step S23 then is 500 watts of less thaies (denying), then execution in step S25.
That is, drive with the size of the ac input power of power circuit 43 correspondingly with the rotating speed height of rotary drum electrical motor 5, so the situation of the 5th embodiment also can obtain the same effect with the 3rd embodiment etc.

In step S23A, S25A, change the timing of carrying out 2 short circuits.Figure 15 represents corresponding voltage, current waveform.In addition, short circuit pulse width and the 1st embodiment are same.
Among the step S25A, the 1st short circuit begun to be made as the 1.2m second that begins from the zero crossing of alternating voltage waveform, the 2nd short circuit begun to be made as the 1.0m that finishes since the 1st short circuit after second (with reference to Figure 15 (b)).On the other hand, among the step S23A, the 1st short circuit begun to be made as the 1.7m second that begins from the zero crossing of alternating voltage waveform, the 2nd short circuit begun to be made as the 1st short circuit finish the 1.0m of beginning after second (with reference to Figure 15 (c)).
Therefore that is, ac power frequency is the occasion of 60Hz, and 1/2 cycle became 8.33 seconds, and the wave amplitude of alternating voltage reaches peak value after begin from zero crossing 4.17 seconds.Therefore thereby during this period, the timing of beginning short circuit is slow more, and the current value of energising is big more in the reactor 44, can improve the effect of boosting (265V → 295V).
In addition, Figure 15 (a) is the situation that the 1st short circuit is begun be made as the 0.7m second that begins from zero crossing of usefulness relatively, and DC voltage becomes 235V.
