The present invention utilizes motor because load is different, determine whether interior bucket floats thereby starting power is different, when interior bucket does not float, motor not only will drive the interior bucket rotation that the water rotation also will drive engagement when starting, this needs bigger starting power just can finish, equally, after interior bucket floats, motor only need drive the rotation of water and clothing and get final product, this moment, motor only needed the power of less startup to get final product, the starting power that calculate front and back is subtracted each other, and whether bucket floats in can determining according to the variation of difference.For preventing error, this programme also further adopts repeatedly the starter motor running, calculates the test mode of mean power, thereby guarantees the accurate of test result.This programme has prolonged the life-span of motor for washer greatly, and the problem of having avoided motor to carry out work when interior bucket does not float has reduced power consumption and the caloric value of motor.Utilize shake current program to overcome interior bucket upper spline groove and driving shaft upper spline gear meshing power, quickened the come-up of interior bucket.This programme test process is simple, does not need to increase new equipment, helps computer program controller of washing machine to understand the ascending and descending condition of current interior bucket, for fully-automatic washing control provides convenience.
Description of drawings
The structural representation of keg float washing machine in Fig. 1 prior art.
The deterministic process schematic diagram of Fig. 2 embodiments of the invention 1.
The specific embodiment
As shown in Figure 1, because washing machine is the float bowl-type structure, air chamber 2 is arranged at interior bucket 1 bottom, when washing machine inflow, if the buoyancy of the water generates of advancing is not enough to the clothing of interior bucket and the inside is floated, the spline 3 on the interior bucket is in engagement with the spline gear 4 on the motor shaft always, if starter motor running work this moment, motor not only will drive water in the bucket and clothing running in the impeller drive, but also barrel running together in will driving, desired power is very big.If continue water inlet, when the buoyancy of the water generates that enters is enough big, in the time of the clothes of interior bucket and the inside being floated, the spline of interior bucket bottom breaks away from the spline gear on the motor shaft, the floating free floating condition that is of interior bucket.At this moment motor only need drive water in the bucket and clothing running in the impeller drive, and the resistance of motor will obviously diminish, and barrel required power of running will diminish in the driven by motor.Therefore, under the same conditions, motor with the load difference, starting power is just different, loads when big, the starting power of motor is just big, on the contrary, load hour, the starting power of motor is just little.If interior bucket is floating, even there is water constantly to inject, motor is under the constant situation of loading, and starting power also can remain unchanged substantially.As long as at this moment measure the variation of electric motor starting power, whether bucket floats in just can judging.
This programme is set the initial priming level of motor, the initial priming level of motor be meant one not only can alleviate the heating of motor but also guarantee to intake this water level the time in the bucket water level that can not float.The initial priming level of this motor need be lower than the water level that washing machine is set, and this height of water level can change according to the size of washing machine drum, need record in advance according to different washing capacities, generally is 2 or 3 water levels.The computer program controller drive motors is rotated with the set time in a clockwise direction, and electric current and voltage when measuring electric motor starting calculate the power of motor when starting.The motor clockwise direction rotates, and is that current can flow in bucket with clockwise direction, therefore adopt starter motor to rotate in a clockwise direction, can reduce the influence of extraneous factor to motor, reduce the situation of motor overheating because in most washing machines during water filling.Behind the certain interval of time, this generally is set at 1000ms-1500ms at interval, continuing drive motors rotates the same time under same condition, calculate its starting power simultaneously, the average power content that utilizes back one to measure then deducts the average power content of measuring for the first time, and whether bucket floats in can determining according to the size of difference.Because bucket does not float (this is a special setting) in during initial priming level, so the load of motor this moment is big, and corresponding starting power is also big.Motor because the water filling of washing machine does not stop in the measuring process always, two kinds of situations at this moment just may occur when rotating for the second time:
1, not enough interior bucket is floated because the water in the washing machine increases, the power of motor value that calculate this moment increases to some extent, deducts primary performance number gained missionary society greater than 0 with secondary performance number, barrel does not float in promptly showing.
2, the water of being on the increase in the washing machine can float interior bucket, this moment, the rotation of motor only need drive the rotation of water and clothing, alleviated load greatly, therefore the power during electric motor starting is less than for the first time or performance number last time, with the second time performance number deduct for the first time or last time performance number gained difference can show that promptly interior 1 barrel floats less than 0.The groundwork process and the principle of Here it is this programme.
For reducing the error of above-mentioned deterministic process, can repeat above-mentioned steps 2-3 time, whether bucket floats in judging according to final average result.When the water in the washing machine arrives water level and when barrel whether floating can't determine in, then stop into water, computer program controller of washing machine can move shake current program, be that drive motors is with the engagement force between left rotation and right rotation 3-5 circle cogs with bucket in overcoming and outer bucket at a slow speed, bucket come-up in helping, in this process, continue to calculate in a manner described the starting power value, and the starting power value of calculating compared with the performance number of front as minuend, barrel whether float in determining with same judgment mode.If result of determination for floating, then continues to be filled to water level, enter next washing procedure.If result of determination be interior bucket still for floating, then computer program controller sends warning message and notifies user or attendant.Above-mentioned shake current program can be moved 2-3 time, floats with bucket in guaranteeing.
Accurate for guaranteeing the result who records, when for the first time occur difference less than 0 as a result the time, the minuend that is about to this moment is when fixing minuend, the performance number of calculating all goes to subtract fixedly minuend later on, as twice of continuous appearance or above difference all less than 0 o'clock, the information that bucket floats in providing.
Embodiment 1:
As shown in Figure 2, be the workflow of this programme, at first washing machine inflow is to the initial priming level of motor, and then with fixing acceleration, starter motor detects the electric current I and the voltage U of motor at this moment, utilizes P=U*I to calculate the starting power of this motor.For the measurement result of preparation is provided, can repeat said process 2-3 time, utilize the average power content after Pn=1/N ∑ Pi obtains calculating several times, with the time interval double counting said process of 1200ms 2-3 time, by beginning for the second time, the average power content of once calculating before at every turn utilizing the average power content of calculating later to deduct, be Pn-(Pn-1)<0 o'clock (n for which time measures), bucket floats in determining, record minuend Pn-1 conduct at this moment is minuend fixedly, and then move above-mentioned process of measurement 2-3 time, the electric motor starting power that at every turn records is all subtracted each other with fixing minuend Pn-1, and when two times result occurring all less than 0 the time, bucket floats in then concluding, this moment, washing machine continued moisturizing to water level, entered next washing procedure.
When Pn-(Pn-1)>0, bucket does not float in judging, continue above-mentioned motor rotation program when water level arrives water level and barrel whether floats in still can not determine, then stop water filling, operation shake current program, the operation computational process of then carrying out a front after the current program is once shaken in every execution, when the emergent power difference less than 0 the time, rerun computational process once or twice, bucket floats in determining with the identical difference result of twice or three times, and the washing machine moisturizing is to water level then.When whether bucket floated in aforesaid way also can't be determined, computer program controller sent warning message to user or attendant.
