Filter contamination degree measurement apparatus include at least one measuring transmitter.Measuring transmitter is used to produce (specific) measurement signal.Especially, measurement signal can be applied on filter or filter by measuring transmitter It is other.For example, measuring transmitter can on the filter apply measurement signal or to sending measurement on the direction of filter Signal.
Measurement signal is set to, and is affected by the state of filter.Resulting signal particularly claims herein It is detection signal.In other words, detection signal is produced by the state of measurement signal and filter.The state of filter was particularly related to The filter contamination degree of filter.
Filter contamination degree measurement apparatus include at least one detector.Detector is set to, and obtains at least one and detects Signal.The pollutional condition of filter state, particularly filter can be derived by detection signal.
The first embodiment of air cleaning unit of the invention, filter contamination degree measurement apparatus include at least one The individual evaluation module for determining filter contamination parameter according at least to detection signal.Evaluation module can be used for according to filter Pollution parameters determine filter contamination degree.First, evaluation module at least assesses detection signal and thereby determines that filter contamination Parameter.Preferably, filter contamination parameter can be calculated by measurement signal and detection signal.Alternately or extraly may be used In assessment to obtain the difference between measurement signal and detection signal and thus derive filter contamination parameter.
Filter contamination degree is can then determine from the filter contamination parameter for determining.Filter contamination degree can be special Show, if need cleaning filter or change filter.In a preferred embodiment, filter contamination degree can be with For example be given with percentage.Here, 0% represents untainted state, 100% represents the shape that filter (at the latest) should be changed State.
Filter contamination degree can be in a different manner derived from filter contamination parameter in principle.Preferred real Apply in mode, evaluation module includes at least one comparison module.Comparison module can be used in by filter contamination parameter with least One filter contamination reduced parameter for storing in memory compares.Evaluation module can be provided for according to comparative result Determine filter contamination degree.For example, filter contamination reduced parameter can be limiting value.Filter contamination for determining is joined Number exceedes the situation of the limiting value, and filter contamination degree can indicate that:Need to change or clean filter.If filter Pollution parameters are not above limiting value, and filter contamination degree can indicate that:Without changing or cleaning filter.Preferably, Multiple filter contamination reduced parameters can be stored for example in memory in graph form.Test result based on before, Each comparing filter contamination parameter can be at least set to correspond to a filter contamination degree.By the filter contamination that will be determined Parameter is compared with filter contamination reduced parameter, it may be determined that corresponding current filter contamination degree.
A kind of air cleaning unit of the invention preferred embodiment in, measuring transmitter can set Put for producing electric measurement signal.Preferably, voltage generator can be set, and the voltage generator is used to produce voltage to believe Number.Detector can be preferably used for the electric detection signal of detection.Preferably, detector can be current measurer.Accordingly Device only need to small structure space.
Preferably, measuring transmitter could be arranged to for electric measurement signal to be applied to by contact component (anlegen) on filter.By identical contact component, detector can preferably obtain detection signal.Holding meanss can Filtering is corresponded to the first electrode comprising the first filter contact corresponding to filter according to implementation method and at least one Other electrodes of another filter contact of device.

Fig. 5 show in a schematic another embodiment of air cleaning unit of the invention 5.With schematical side Formula, sets measuring transmitter 27 and detector 28 in air duct 22.Preferably, measuring transmitter 27 and detection Device is set in the housing.Measuring transmitter 27 is used to produce measurement signal and be sent up to the side of filter 23.Preferably, Measurement signal is the acoustical signal with multiple pings.Alternately, measurement signal can also be optical signal.
Measurement signal is reflected by filter 23 at least in part.The signal of reflection is examined as detection signal by detector 28 Survey.Measurement signal and detection signal can be in an appropriate form forwarded to assessment mould by detector 28 and measuring transmitter 27 Block 29.
Evaluation module 29 preferably can calculate filter 23 (namely surface of filter 23) by the run time of signal The distance between with measuring transmitter 27 or with detector 28.Filter and measuring transmitter 27 or with detection The distance between device 28 (and adjoint arrival time) is reduced with the increase of pollution.
Evaluation module 29 can have comparison module 34, and the distance in order to determine is stored with preferably in memory 36 Distance versus curve compare.These point or these sections it is related to filter contamination degree so that for example determine away from The filter contamination degree (Y%) of the determination of filter 23 is capable of determining that in the case of (Xcm).By comparing operation, therefore The real-time filter contamination degree of filter 23 can be determined by the distance determined.
The filter contamination degree of determination can for example be forwarded to the indicator 8 of housed device 1,10 by output module 37.
Additionally or alternatively property ground, can be provided for the sound letter that detection sends in another (unshowned) implementation method Number or optical signal detector.
Finally, Fig. 6 shows the flow chart of the embodiment of the method for running air cleaning unit.The following examples It is related to the embodiment shown in Fig. 3 and 4.The embodiment however can in a straightforward manner be transformed to the embodiment according to Fig. 5.
In first step 601, filter contamination degree measurement apparatus 26 are started first.For example, this can regulation when Between terminate after, particularly housed device 1, after 10 run time terminates, by using person it is manually operated such as Carried out during the startup of housed device 1,10.
Then produced voltage signal and be applied to electrode 30.1 by measuring transmitter 27 is preferred in step 602, On 30.2.Then flowed as the process of detection signal or by filter 23 by the preferred measurement of detector 28 in step 603 Dynamic electric current.Step 602,603 especially can simultaneously be carried out.
In step 604, voltage and the electric current of measurement that the assessment of evaluation module 29 applies.In the way described before, first The resistivity of filter 23 can be calculated and then the resistance value from calculating determines filter contamination degree.
Finally, filter contamination degree can be shown by indicator 8 in step 605.It is merely able in simple cases Display whether to need to change or clean filter 23.Alternately, real-time filter contamination degree can be shown and/or by reality When filter contamination degree assessment possibility need change or clean filter 23 time point.
