Description

There is the method for the washing machine of pressure sensor for operation and suitable for the method Washing machine
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of for the method for washing machine of the operation with pressure sensor and suitable for the method Washing machine.The invention particularly relates to a kind of washing machine, the washing machine have alkali liquor container, the cylinder for receiving washings, For the drive motor of cylinder, the hydrostatic pressure measured of liquid, aqueous height for being determined as in alkali liquor container The position state of the pressure sensor, control device and the vibrational system for being used to determine washing machine in washing machine run duration of p With at least one state sensor of behavior, the vibrational system includes alkali liquor container, cylinder and drive motor, and is related to one Plant and be applied to the washing machine for carrying out the method.
The content of the invention
It is important that alap water requirement for washing machine operation.Additionally, in the case of using less water, disappearing The less electric energy of consumption is used for the required water for washing process of heating.On the other hand, the water yield for being used must be enough Many, it is possible thereby to be sufficiently used for soaking and washing washings to be washed.It is important, therefore, that understanding as precisely as possible What water requirement for a collection of clothing to be washed and also providing was sufficiently used for washing free bleachinges and dyeing liquid measure.
When in program control washing machine by for the species sum of the water yield needed for washing and washings to be washed Amount preferably should so optimize the wetting stage when being matched so that every batch of clothing with it is mutually coordinating herein, in alkali liquor container In other words the water yield in cylinder (hereinafter also referred to as " laundry drum ") before actual washing process with the time as short as possible Completely and homogeneously soak.Additionally, the water yield used for wetting should be reproducible, thus especially also ensure heat energy It is brought into renewablely in water.
Thus, the purpose for soaking the stage (also referred to as " wetting phase ") is to provide the optimal water yield for washing process And with regard to the information of useful load.Therefore, the wetting stage is very important for each washing procedure.In order to carry For the optimal water yield, during cylinder is reversed and/or in inactive state, generally consider pressure value come for being analyzed place Reason.
For example it is known that in the following way realize wetting, it is determined that the water yield be flowed into comprising clothing cylinder neutralization The cylinder that rotation is made after the drenched stage stops.Water then drains off from washings, until it reaches almost stable state, described State can according to hydrostatic pressure nearly constant for water or only the slight pressure value for changing proving.Then according to The degree that pressure when cylinder remains static increases determines whether saturation is with water for washings.
In order to adjust during wetting stage and washing stage used in washing machine liquid, aqueous (generally comprises clean Water or washing alkali liquid, the washing alkali liquid be used for clean surfactant to be used) packed height, electromagnetism is usually used Formula water-level regulator (level sensor), the level sensor (is also abridged below in use for measuring hydrostatic pressure For " pressure ") pressure sensor in the case of control water conveying.
Additionally, the running status not allowed below known in washing machine, the running status may cause to damage or extremely The service life for causing washing machine less is reduced.For example, only when guaranteeing that heater is sunk in washing alkali liquid, just should make Heater for heating washing alkali liquid runs.Otherwise, in fact it could happen that heater is overheated and is thus damaged.Another example It is to avoid rotary dehydration or dehydrator to start when cylinder is also sunk in washing alkali liquid or water.This may cause for cylinder Drive motor is damaged or is at least resulted in the service life of the drive motor and reduces.
Packed height in washing machine is sensed generally by means of relatively high-resolution analog pressure sensor.Pressure is passed Sensor sense as sinking to for balancing gate pit it is in horizontal plane, isolation, filling with the pressure produced by the pipe of air, its In, the pressure is relevant with the filling liquid level in the alkali liquor container of washing machine.May with the filling liquid level that the measuring system determines It is due to reasons in structure but inaccurate.For example, when air is penetrated in balancing gate pit, packed height is because of washing machine The rotation of cylinder and be identified as too low.When being calibrated in the case of for example not divulging information in pressure system, recognize too high Packed height can be attributed to the calibration for having an error of pressure sensor.
Installation of the hydrostatic pressure force value by measured by pressure sensor with corresponding washing machine and with the washing machine Condition is relevant.The inclination of the possible deflected condition of such as washing machine, i.e. washing machine and horizontal plane may affect hydrostatic pressure Measurement.Other influence factor may being affected by the possible deflected condition of washing machine again, being particularly likely to strengthen is that alkali lye holds The shape and size of device and pressure sensor pressure isolation point (Druckabschlusspunkt) (" air drop ").This Outward, there is the specific behavior of utensil, the behavior is by the driving being respectively present for cylinder, spring, friction shock absorber etc. Motor draws.These behaviors also affect the behavior of whole vibrational system, the vibrational system generally include alkali liquor container, cylinder and Drive motor, and thus affect to pass through measurement of the pressure sensor to hydrostatic pressure.Thus go out again, for hydrostatic pressure The impact of measurement it is relevant with the type and quantity of washings in the rotating speed of cylinder and possible rotation direction and cylinder.Most Afterwards, according to the current latched position of commonly used friction shock absorber changing the position of vibrational system, the friction damping Device changes during washing process generally according to loading, the water yield, rotation direction etc..
These factors affect the position state of vibrational system, so as in the analyzing and processing of the pressure value by measured by pressure sensor In be likely to occur error or inaccuracy.When water level is measured, the influence factor mentioned before is not considered so far.In order to obtain by Hydrostatic pressure measured by pressure sensor as far as possible accurately and therewith in view of the convictive value of water level, probable value Obtain it is desirable that, not only sensing qualitatively but also quantitatively the effect of these influence factors and correspondingly to by pressure sensor institute The measurement of the pressure value of measurement is modified.
