Fig. 2 represents to come according to the degree of superheat that is installed in the motor in the general washing machine working method of crossing the thermal cut-out part of work;
Fig. 3 is the schematic block diagram that is used to prevent the device of motor overheating in washing machine of the present invention; And
Fig. 4 is a flow chart, is used for explaining the method that prevents motor overheating according to the present invention at washing machine.
Below want the most preferred embodiment of the present invention shown in the detailed description of the drawings.
As shown in Figure 3, be used in washing machine prevent that according to of the present invention the device of motor overheating from comprising power unit 23, controller 22, button input and display part 21, rotor position detection part 24 is crossed thermal cut-out part 25, generator 26, and connector 27.
Power unit 23 provides power supply for various piece.The controller 22 that comprises microprocessor and various circuit is controlled a corresponding operation according to what the user selected by key input signal, and drives ancillary equipment.Rotor position detection part 24 detects the position of the rotor that is used to drive generator 26, and the signal of respective rotor detection position is provided to controller 22.Rotor position detection part 24 adopts a Hall element.The effect of crossing thermal cut-out part 25 is switches, and it cuts off the power supply that offers rotor position detection part 24 during generator 26 is overheated.Crossing thermal cut-out part 25 is thermal protectors, and carries out on/off by its bi-metal plate.Controller 22 detects the fault that produces owing to the action of crossing thermal cut-out part 25 in the rotor position detection part 24.Here in generator 26, installed a BLDC motor.
The working method that is used to prevent the device of motor overheating according to of the present invention in washing machine below will be described.
As shown in Figure 3, detected rotor-position signal produces and drives signal in the Hall element of controller 22 according to rotor position detection part 24.BLDC motor with drive generator 26, when the temperature of the coil in being wound on the BLDC motor met or exceeded predetermined temperature owing to the overload of washing/dehydrating cycle period of washing machine or fault, the bi-metal plate of crossing thermal cut-out part 25 will cut off circuit.
At this moment, the power supply that slave controller 22 offers rotor position detection part 24 has just been cut off in the action of opening circuit of crossing thermal cut-out part 25.This power supply is the dc voltage that comes from the AC voltage transitions by controller 22.
Be cut off if offer the power supply of rotor position detection part 24, the Hall element of rotor position detection part 24 is with regard to cisco unity malfunction.
As a result, the holding wire Ha of Hall element, Hb, Hc will become mutually the same state, just high or low state.Controller 22 detects this state, and determines because fault has appearred in the generator 26 overheated Hall elements of rotor position detection part 24 that make.
Because the BLDC motor overheating of generator 26 when having caused Hall element to break down, BLDC motor and ancillary equipment just quit work, and the BLDC motor is no longer generated heat when detecting.If the fault of Hall element is owing to the BLDC motor overheating causes, button input and display part 21 just show that this fault is for user's identification.
Below to the method that prevent motor overheating in washing machine of the present invention be described with reference to Fig. 4.
To determine at first whether washing machine has occurred overload or fault (S101 and S102) in the key-input operation by user's selection key input and display part 21 in washing machine washing/dehydrating cycle period.When overload or fault appear in washing machine, detect the fault (S103) that is fixed on the Hall element on the BLDC motor by controller 22.
If controller 22 has detected this fault, cross thermal cut-out part 25 and just cut off the power supply that offers Hall element, thereby cut off BLDC motor and ancillary equipment (S104).Button input and display part 21 demonstrate fault at this moment, so that user's identification (S105).
As mentioned above, according to the present invention, be used in washing machine prevent that this devices and methods therefor of motor overheating has following advantage.
Because rotor position detection part and cross the thermal cut-out part and all be installed within the BLDC motor of generator just can reduce the quantity and the length thereof of power line.So just reduced number of connectors, thereby reduced manufacturing cost and improve assembly process.In addition, if owing in the circulation of the washing/dehydrating of washing machine, overload taking place or fault breaks down.The user can identify fault so that handle easily by button input and display part.So just provide reliability of products for the user.
Obviously, those skilled in the art can be used in washing machine prevent that the device of motor overheating from making various changes and modification to of the present invention under the condition that does not break away from spirit and scope of the invention.Therefore, in the scope of claims, covered this class change of the present invention and modification and equivalent scheme thereof.
