In order to solve the problem that the air duct cleanliness of the washing and drying machine in the prior art is difficult to directly detect, the application provides a method for detecting the air duct cleanliness of the washing and drying machine, the washing and drying machine comprises a fan, please refer to fig. 2, and the method provided by the application comprises the following steps:
s10: and acquiring a first preset corresponding relation between the temperature of the fan and the running time when the washing and drying machine heats and dries.
The first corresponding relation in the application can comprise the corresponding relation between the temperature of the fan and the running time when the washing and drying machine is used for heating and drying in a clean state; the preset first relation has the effects that a reference standard is established, the cleanliness of the air duct of the washing and drying machine in different states is evaluated by taking the reference standard as a reference, the air duct is in a clean state, for example, the air duct can be in a state after the washing and drying machine is just purchased, or in a state after the washing and drying machine is thoroughly cleaned by workers, foreign matters are not accumulated in the air duct of the washing and drying machine in the clean state, and germs are not bred. And starting the fan of the washing and drying machine to work in the state, and synchronously starting timing, wherein the running time is the temperature of the fan at each moment in the process from starting to shutting down, and the temperature of the fan can be detected by an infrared temperature sensor or a temperature sensing bulb is arranged at the fan to detect the temperature of the fan. The first corresponding relationship between the temperature at the fan and the operation time may be the temperature at the fan corresponding to different operation times after the fan starts to work in the primary air-drying task, for example, the temperature at the fan is 10 ℃ at the initial temperature in the primary air-drying task, 15 ℃ after 1 hour, 25 ℃ after 2 hours, and so on. The first corresponding relation between the temperature at the fan and the operation time can also be a corresponding relation between the temperature change rate at the fan and the operation time, for example, the temperature acceleration of the temperature at the fan in the first minute after the fan is started is 5 ℃/min, the temperature acceleration of the temperature at the fan in the second minute is 10 ℃/min, the corresponding relation between the temperature change at the fan and the operation time can be represented by a first temperature-time curve, the temperature at the fan at different operation times can be displayed in a curve mode, for example, the temperature at the fan corresponding to different operation times during heating and drying can be counted, the collected operation time and the temperature data at the fan can be fitted into a straight line, and therefore, a user can conveniently and visually check the corresponding relation between the operation time and the temperature.
S20: and acquiring a second corresponding relation between the temperature of the fan and the running time when the current washing and drying machine heats and dries.
In the present application, the second corresponding relationship and the first corresponding relationship, that is, the corresponding relationship when the air duct is in a clean state, may be the same or similar corresponding relationship. Preferably, the same correspondence relationship is adopted, for example, the temperatures at the fans corresponding to different times in different operation times or the temperature change speeds at the fans corresponding to different times in different operation times may be adopted. It should be noted that, in order to improve the detection accuracy, when the air duct is in a clean state, the amount of the laundry in the drum of the washing and drying machine should be the same as or similar to the amount of the laundry currently in the drum of the washing and drying machine, and the water content of the laundry should be the same as or similar to the water content of the laundry, that is, the load in the washing and drying machine corresponding to the first corresponding relationship is the same as the load in the washing and drying machine corresponding to the second corresponding relationship, and the first corresponding relationship and the second corresponding relationship are preferably both corresponding to the corresponding relationship between the temperature at the fan and the operation time when no laundry is loaded in the drum.
S30: and determining the cleanliness of the current air duct according to the first corresponding relation and the second corresponding relation.
In this embodiment, after the first corresponding relationship and the second corresponding relationship are determined, the relationship between the temperature of the fan and the operation time in the clean state and the corresponding relationship between the temperature of the fan and the operation time in the current state are known, if the two corresponding relationships are the same or close, the cleanliness of the air duct is high, and if the two corresponding relationships differ far, the cleanliness of the air duct and the cleanliness of the clean state are far, the dirty and blocked condition is serious, cleaning is required, and generally, when the air duct is in the dirty and blocked state, the air speed is reduced, and the temperature rise of the temperature of the fan is slow. When the method provided by the application is used, the clean state of the air channel in the washing and drying machine can be checked without disassembling the washing and drying machine, so that a user can conveniently arrange time for cleaning the air channel correspondingly.
Preferably, in some optional embodiments, the first correspondence relationship comprises: and when the washing and drying machine is heated and dried, the temperature of the fan is at a first temperature change rate in each cycle.
In this embodiment, the heating and drying operation of the washing and drying machine is a continuously and cyclically repeated process, so the operation time of the washing and drying machine may be composed of a plurality of cycles, any cycle may be, for example, the time when the drum of the washing and drying machine is normally installed once and reversely rotated once, the washing and drying machine continuously repeats the forward rotation and the reverse rotation of the drum during the drying of the laundry, the cycle may also be any preset time duration, for example, five minutes is set as one cycle, the temperature at the blower is detected every five minutes, so as to determine the temperature variation value of the blower in each cycle as the first variation, or one cycle may be the time when the air is blown out from the blower to return to the blower. The first variation may be the temperature at the fan at the end of the cycle minus the temperature at the fan at the beginning of the cycle, the temperature at the fan may be collected every other cycle, and the end point of one cycle may be the start point of another cycle. The first rate of temperature change is the rate of temperature change, i.e., how quickly the temperature increases or decreases, during any cycle. If the air duct is in a clean state, the temperature of the fan of the washing and drying machine will rise quickly, and when the air duct is partially blocked, the rising speed of the temperature of the fan will be reduced. The inventor of this application discovers through long-time experiments, the washer-dryer is under the temperature environment of difference, fan department temperature value receives ambient temperature's influence, but in the course of the work of washer-dryer heating stoving, the change volume and the change speed of fan department temperature are not big with ambient temperature relation, consequently be used in the clean state washer-dryer first temperature change rate in each cycle as reference data, can shield the influence of different ambient temperature to washer-dryer fan department temperature, make reference data irrelevant with ambient temperature, thereby the clean state in accurate aassessment washer-dryer wind channel.
Preferably, in some optional embodiments, the second correspondence relationship includes: when the washing and drying machine is heated and dried, the temperature of the fan is at a second temperature change rate in each cycle period.
In this embodiment, the first corresponding relationship and the second corresponding relationship are the same type of data, so when the first corresponding relationship includes a first temperature change rate of the temperature at the fan in each cycle, the second corresponding relationship is a second temperature change rate similar to the first temperature change rate, the two data are obtained by the same method, and preferably, the environmental conditions and the number and weight of the clothes in the washer dryer are the same or similar when the first temperature change rate and the second temperature change rate are obtained. The first temperature change rate and the second temperature change rate are the same type of data, and the acquisition methods are the same, so that the influence of the ambient temperature on the detection data can be shielded, namely the detection data is irrelevant to the ambient temperature, the evaluation result of the air duct cleanliness is more objective and accurate, the first temperature change rate and the second temperature change rate exist in any cycle period of the temperature at the fan, the first temperature change rate and the acquisition time are different from the acquisition time of the second temperature change rate, and other environmental conditions are the same or similar, so that the air duct cleanliness state when the first temperature change rate acquisition time is determined can be determined. It should be noted that the preset drying time period for heating and drying by the washing and drying machine may be the same as or different from the current drying time period for heating and drying by the washing and drying machine, and preferably, the drying time period is the same as, and the drying time period is composed of a plurality of cycle periods.
Preferably, in some optional embodiments, determining the cleanliness of the air duct according to the first corresponding relationship and the second corresponding relationship includes: and determining the cleanliness of the current air duct according to the first temperature change rate and the second temperature change rate of the temperature at the fan in each cycle. In this embodiment, the temperature at the fan corresponds to a first temperature change rate and a second temperature change rate in each cycle period, where the first temperature change rate represents a rate at which the temperature at the fan changes with the operating time when the air duct is in a clean state, and the second temperature change rate represents a rate at which the temperature at the fan changes with the operating time at the present moment, and when the air duct is in different cleanliness degrees, rates at the fan and the operating time are different, the more serious the air duct is blocked, that is, the lower the cleanliness degree of the air duct is, the lower the flow rate of the air flow is, the longer the time required for the air flow to start from the fan to return to the fan is, so that the temperature of the air flow is easier to be reduced, and the lower the temperature of the air flow returns to the fan, so that the temperature rise rate of the temperature at the fan is slower, and after the first temperature change rate when the air duct is in a clean state is obtained, the air duct cleaning device can be used as a detection standard, the filth blockage condition of the current air duct can be determined by comparing the difference value of the second temperature change rate and the first temperature change rate, namely the cleanliness condition of the air duct, a user does not need to disassemble the washing and drying machine to observe the cleanliness of the air duct, and the user can conveniently arrange the time for cleaning the air duct.
Preferably, in some optional embodiments, determining the current cleanliness of the air duct according to the first temperature change rate and the second temperature change rate of the temperature at the fan in each cycle includes:
acquiring the number of cycle periods with the first temperature change rate larger than the second temperature change rate as a first statistical value;
determining the cleanliness of the air duct according to the first statistical value;
wherein the first statistical value is inversely proportional to the cleanliness of the air duct.
Because the temperature rise speed at the fan is lower when the air duct is dirty and blocked, for any circulation period, when the air duct is dirty and blocked, namely the cleanliness is not high, the second temperature change rate is lower than the first temperature change rate generally, the dirty and blocked condition is more serious, namely the cleanliness of the air duct is lower, the circulation periods that the first temperature change rate is higher than the second temperature change rate are more, and therefore the cleanliness of the air duct can be evaluated by counting the first statistical value, and the quantitative analysis of the cleanliness of the air duct is realized.
Preferably, in some optional embodiments, determining the current cleanliness of the air duct according to the first temperature change rate and the second temperature change rate of the temperature at the fan in each cycle includes:
and when the first temperature change rate of the N continuous circulation periods is greater than the second temperature change rate, the air duct is in a dirty blocking state. In the actual detection process, due to the fluctuation of the ambient temperature and the fluctuation of the voltage, when the air duct is still in a clean state, the second temperature change rate is smaller than the first temperature change rate, but the time for the situation is often short, but if the air duct is in a dirty and blocked state, the second temperature change rate is smaller than the first temperature change rate for a long time, so that the dirty and blocked situation of the air duct can be judged by judging the numerical value of N, preferably, the value of N is compared with the first threshold value, thereby eliminating the misjudgment caused by the fluctuation of the ambient temperature and the fluctuation of the voltage, and improving the judgment precision and the accuracy. Optionally, in the present application, the washing and drying machine is a drum washing and drying machine, the cycle period is a rotation period of the drum, and the rotation period may be a time of rotating the drum in a forward direction and a reverse direction.
A preferred embodiment of the present application is set forth below.
The observation shows that the temperature of the fan detected by the temperature sensing bulb rises sharply when the washing and drying machine is in a clean state and is gradually stabilized at the temperature in the early stage of drying until the preset temperature value is reached. In the later drying stage, the clothes are gradually dried, the heat exchange is reduced, and the temperature rises to a small extent.
When the air duct is dirty and blocked for drying, the temperature of the fan detected by the thermal bulb slowly rises and gradually stabilizes at a certain temperature in the early stage of drying. In the later drying stage, the clothes are gradually dried, the heat exchange is reduced, but because the air duct is dirty and blocked, the hot air is blocked, and the fan value cannot rise again.
At the beginning stage of drying, the temperature of the fan is higher and higher in a clean state, the change rate is higher and lower, the fan basically does not change when reaching a stable state, and the temperature change rate is slightly increased when clothes are dried. Under the condition of filth blockage, the temperature of the fan is slowly increased, the change rate is small and is in a descending trend, and the fan does not change when reaching a stable state until the end.
According to the principle, a large amount of experimental data are collected, and the change rate of the temperature when the clothes are dried is calculated and used for judging the dirty and blocked air channels.
When the washing and drying machine is heated and dried, the roller of the washing and drying machine rotates positively and negatively, and the positive rotation and the negative rotation are changed into a cycle period. Through data acquisition, when the air duct is in a clean state and the temperature change rate of the fan in each cycle period is analyzed and determined when the washing and drying machine heats and dries, and fitting is carried out, wherein i is k1t+c1(example: t ∈ [1,30 ]])、i=k2t+c2(example: t ∈ (30, 60)]) Wherein iThe first rate of change of temperature at the fan, t is the number of cycles 1, 2, 3 … n-1, n. I is constant in each cycle period, but the value of i is different constant for each cycle period.
At the beginning of the heating and drying of the current washing and drying machine, the electric heating is started, the roller rotates forwards and backwards, the forward rotation and the reverse rotation are a period, the controller collects the temperature value of the fan at the forward rotation and the reverse rotation every time from the beginning of the drying, and calculates the second temperature change rate of the temperature of the fan at every cycle, when the second temperature change rate meeting the continuous N cycles is smaller than the first temperature change rate, the drying air duct is considered dirty and blocked, the machine is stopped, the dirty and blocked fault is reported, and the user is reminded to clean the air duct. If the condition is not met, normal drying is continued.

The first corresponding relation between the temperature of the fan and the operation time can be the temperature of the fan corresponding to different operation time lengths of the fan after the fan starts to work in the primary air drying task, for example, the initial temperature of the fan in the primary air drying task is 10 ℃, the temperature of the fan is 15 ℃ after 1 hour, the temperature of the fan is 25 ℃ after 2 hours, and the like. The first corresponding relation between the temperature at the fan and the operation time can also be a corresponding relation between the temperature change rate at the fan and the operation time, for example, the temperature acceleration of the fan in the first minute after the fan is started is 5 ℃/min, the temperature acceleration of the fan in the second minute is 10 ℃/min, the corresponding relation between the temperature change at the fan and the operation time can be represented by a first temperature-time curve, the temperature at the fan in different operation times can be displayed in a curve mode, for example, the temperature at the fan in different operation times corresponding to heating and drying can be counted, the collected operation time and the temperature data at the fan can be fitted into a straight line, and therefore, a user can conveniently and visually check the corresponding relation between the operation time and the temperature at the fan.
