The embodiment of the application provides a method for detecting faults of an exhaust device of an electric cooker, wherein the exhaust device can be positioned at the top of the electric cooker and comprises the following steps: the electric cooker comprises an air inlet channel, a fan, a controllable valve (for example, a controllable rotary valve) and a first driving motor, wherein the air inlet channel is communicated with an external space and the internal space of the electric cooker; the inner part of the electric cooker can be provided with a temperature sensor for detecting the inner temperature of the electric cooker in real time; as shown in fig. 1, the method may include steps S101-S102:
s101, in the working process of the electric cooker, when the internal temperature reaches a preset temperature value, controlling the first driving motor to operate so as to drive the fan to rotate, and controlling the controllable valve to be opened;
s102, detecting the change condition of the internal temperature, and judging whether the exhaust device has a fault according to the change condition of the internal temperature.
In the exemplary embodiment of the application, it is known that the time for cooking porridge by the electric cooker at the present stage needs to be long, and the main reason is that the porridge is easy to overflow when boiling, so that the porridge can not be kept in a boiling state all the time, and the time for cooking the porridge is long. In order to realize the purpose of quickly cooking porridge, an exhaust device can be additionally arranged at the top of the rice cooker and mainly comprises a fan, a controllable valve and an air inlet channel. The controllable valve can be closed at ordinary times to prevent the heat inside the rice cooker from losing.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the preset temperature value may satisfy: 90-92 ℃. In order to prevent the porridge in the electric cooker from overflowing, the exhaust device can be started when the temperature reaches the preset temperature.
In the exemplary embodiment of the application, the top of the electric cooker can be provided with a temperature sensor, and the quality of the top exhaust device can be judged according to the change condition of the internal temperature of the electric cooker detected by the top temperature sensor. Specifically, top temperature sensor sets up in one side that electric rice cooker a kind of deep pot lid orientation culinary art chamber, and top temperature sensor is just right with inlet air channel's gas outlet to guarantee, when exhaust apparatus trouble, top temperature sensor can the very first time feedback temperature unusual.
As shown in fig. 2, it is the temperature variation curve detected by the temperature sensor on the top of the electric cooker in the whole process of cooking porridge. When the top exhaust device works normally, the exhaust device is opened when water is about to boil (for example, 90 ℃), and if the exhaust device is normal, the top temperature of the internal space of the electric cooker can be quickly reduced from 90 ℃ to about 70 ℃, and the temperature can be gradually maintained at about 70 ℃ in the exhaust process. When the exhaust at the top is damaged, the temperature at the top will remain the same or continue to rise. Therefore, the change condition of the internal temperature (such as the top temperature) of the electric cooker is judged after the exhaust device is started, and whether the exhaust device fails or not can be judged quickly and accurately.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the determining whether the exhaust apparatus is malfunctioning according to the variation of the internal temperature may include:
when it is detected that the internal temperature gradually decreases from the preset temperature value, it may be determined that the exhaust apparatus is likely to be normal;
when it is detected that the internal temperature is maintained within the preset temperature floating range, or the internal temperature continues to rise, it may be determined that the exhaust apparatus is malfunctioning.
In the exemplary embodiment of the present application, for example, when it is detected that the internal temperature gradually decreases from 90 ℃ (further, after decreasing to the first temperature, the internal temperature is maintained within the floating range of the first temperature, such as at about 70 ℃), it can be basically determined that the exhaust apparatus is normally operated, and the exhaust function is performed, and thus it can be determined that the exhaust apparatus is likely to be normal (but it is not excluded that the controllable valve is only partially opened and cannot be fully opened, and that the fan is normally operated to take cool air and the controllable valve cannot be opened, which are faults). When the internal temperature is kept unchanged (for example, kept at about 90 ℃) or continuously rises, the fault of the exhaust device can be indicated, the power of the rice cooker can be immediately reduced, the porridge is prevented from overflowing, and a fault alarm can be given out.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, when it is determined that the exhaust apparatus may be normal, a rate of decrease of the internal temperature within a preset time period is detected, and it is determined whether the exhaust apparatus is actually normal according to a magnitude of the rate of decrease.
In the exemplary embodiment of the present application, it is known that when the controllable valve is only partially opened and cannot be fully opened, if the fan works normally, the internal temperature of the rice cooker is also lowered, and the internal temperature tends to gradually decrease. In addition, when the controllable valve can not be opened, and the fan normally works, the fan can bring cool air in due to work, so that the internal temperature of the electric cooker is reduced, and the trend that the internal temperature is gradually reduced is presented. Moreover, when the controllable valve is opened, the fan fails and can not rotate, and the controllable valve is communicated with the external space, so that the internal hot gas is diffused outwards, the internal temperature of the electric cooker is reduced, and the trend that the internal temperature is gradually reduced is presented. Therefore, when it is detected that the internal temperature gradually decreases from the preset temperature value, it cannot be directly determined that the exhaust apparatus is completely normal, but only possible to be normal. However, the above-mentioned fault phenomenon is not a state where the controllable valve is fully opened and the fan is normally operated, and although the function of cooling and radiating heat is also achieved, the cooling effect is significantly reduced, that is, the reduction rate of the internal temperature is significantly reduced, compared with the normal case of the exhaust device. Therefore, it is possible to determine whether the exhaust apparatus is actually normal or not, based on the magnitude of the rate of decrease.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the determining whether the exhaust apparatus is actually normal according to the magnitude of the rate of decrease may include:
when the rate of decrease is greater than or equal to a preset rate of decrease threshold, it may be determined that the exhaust apparatus is indeed normal;
when the rate of decrease is less than the rate of decrease threshold, it may be determined that the exhaust apparatus is actually malfunctioning.
In the exemplary embodiment of the present application, a large drop rate threshold value may be set, and when the detected drop rate is greater than or equal to the drop rate threshold value, it may be determined that the exhaust apparatus is indeed normal; conversely, when the rate of decrease is less than the rate of decrease threshold, it may be determined that the exhaust device does fail. Further, since the drop rate is reduced, but the temperature is not completely not dropped, it is described that the fan is still blowing cool air inward, or the controllable valve is in an open state, and hot air is still exhausted from the outside, and therefore, when the drop rate is smaller than the drop rate threshold, it may be determined that the fan side fails (may include the fan and the first driving motor) or the controllable valve side fails (may include the available valve and the second driving motor, for example), specifically, that part of the exhaust apparatus fails, and the determination may be performed by the following scheme. The controllable valve can be directly controlled by a main control unit of the electric cooker or can be driven and controlled by a motor, for example, the exhaust device can also comprise a second driving motor for driving the controllable valve. When the controllable valve is directly controlled by the main control unit of the electric cooker, the fault of the controllable valve can be determined after the fault of one side of the controllable valve is judged, and when the controllable valve is controlled by the second driving motor, the fault of the controllable valve or the fault of the second driving motor can be further judged after the fault of the other side of the controllable valve is judged. In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the exhaust apparatus may further include a second driving motor for driving the controllable valve; the method may further comprise:
when it is determined that the exhaust apparatus is actually out of order, the first driving motor may be controlled to stop operating to stop the fan and to detect the rate of decrease of the internal temperature within a preset time period again;
when the re-detected decrease rate decreases (i.e., the decrease of the internal temperature per unit time period decreases, and even it is possible that the internal temperature does not decrease, i.e., the decrease decreases to 0), it may be determined that the first drive motor and the fan are normal, and the second drive motor or the controllable valve is malfunctioning;
when the re-detected rate of decrease is unchanged, it may be determined that the first drive motor or the fan is malfunctioning, the second drive motor is normal, and the controllable valve may be normal.
In the exemplary embodiment of the present application, when the first driving motor or the fan fails, since the fan may not be in an operating state, the current drop rate is not affected after the fan is stopped, and if the second driving motor or the controllable valve fails, the fan is stopped and then the cool air is stopped from being input to the inside, which inevitably affects the current drop rate. Therefore, when the redetected decrease rate decreases, it is determined that the change in the operating state of the fan affects the current temperature decrease rate, and therefore, it can be determined that both the fan and the first driving motor are normal (the fan can be normally operated, and the decrease rate of the internal temperature is high when the fan is not stopped), and accordingly, it may be a failure of the second driving motor or the controllable valve. When the redetected reduction rate is not changed, it is indicated that the internal temperature is still reduced at the original reduction rate, that is, the change of the working state of the fan does not affect the current temperature reduction rate, and therefore, it can be determined that a controllable valve is inevitably maintained at the temperature reduction rate, that is, the controllable valve is in an open state, so that the internal heat is always transmitted outwards, and therefore, it can be determined that the second driving motor is normal (can drive the controllable valve to open), and the controllable valve is possibly normal (because the controllable valve is partially opened or fully opened, it cannot be determined, and when the controllable valve is partially opened, it is indicated that the controllable valve is possibly stuck in the middle of opening and also belongs to a fault state of the controllable valve).
In the exemplary embodiment of the present application, the above embodiment scheme can quickly and accurately determine whether the first driving motor or the fan fails or whether the second driving motor or the controllable valve fails according to the determination of the internal temperature drop rate in combination with the control of the fan operation state.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, how to further determine whether the controllable valve is partially opened or fully opened may be implemented by the following scheme.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the method may further include: when the controllable valve is determined to be possibly normal, the rotation angle of the second driving motor can be detected, the rotation angle of the controllable valve is judged according to the rotation angle of the motor, and the controllable valve is judged to be in a partially opened state or a fully opened state according to the rotation angle of the controllable valve; the controllable valve may be determined to be malfunctioning when the controllable valve is in a partially opened state, and may be determined to be normal when the controllable valve is in a fully opened state.
In the exemplary embodiment of the present application, since the rotation angle of the second driving motor is directly related to the opening angle of the controllable valve, by detecting the rotation angle of the second driving motor (i.e., the rotation angle of the driving shaft of the second driving motor, which can be specifically calculated by the number of rotation turns of the driving shaft, i.e., the number of rotation turns × 360 °) during the starting process of the secondary exhaust device, the opening angle of the controllable valve can be accurately calculated according to the rotation angle and the reduction ratio of the second driving motor, and the opening angle is compared with a preset full opening angle (i.e., the opening angle when the controllable valve is completely opened), it can be determined whether the controllable valve is in a partially opened state or a fully opened state.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the second driving motor may be a stepping motor, and the opening angle of the controllable valve may be determined by the number of steps of the stepping motor, so that it may be determined whether the controllable valve is in a partially opened state or a fully opened state.
In the exemplary embodiment of the present application, when it is determined that the first driving motor is failed or the fan is failed, it may be determined whether the first driving motor is failed or the fan is failed, based on the magnitude of the operating current of the first driving motor.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the method may further include: when the first driving motor or the fan is determined to be in fault, the first driving motor can be controlled to be started, the working current of the first driving motor is detected, when the working current of the first driving motor is larger than or equal to a preset first current threshold value, the first driving motor can be determined to be normal, and the fan is determined to be in fault; when the working current of the first driving motor is smaller than or equal to a preset second current threshold, determining that the first driving motor is in a fault;
wherein the first current threshold is greater than the second current threshold.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the first current threshold may be a preset larger current value, and the second current threshold may be a preset smaller current value.
In an exemplary embodiment of the application, when the working current of the first driving motor is greater than or equal to a preset first current threshold, it is indicated that the first driving motor can normally operate, but a locked-rotor phenomenon occurs, which may be a fan failure, for example, if the fan is jammed, the first driving motor cannot drive the fan to rotate, so that a locked-rotor current greater than or equal to the first current threshold is generated. When the working current of the first driving motor is smaller than or equal to the second current threshold, the working current of the first driving motor is very small and cannot be started normally, so that the first driving motor can be judged to be in a fault.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, after it is determined that the exhaust apparatus is malfunctioning according to whether the internal temperature is maintained within the floating range of the preset temperature or the internal temperature continues to rise, it may be further determined whether the first driving motor or the fan is malfunctioning or the second driving motor or the controllable valve is malfunctioning by the following scheme.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the exhaust apparatus may further include a second driving motor for driving the controllable valve; the method may further comprise: when it is determined that the exhaust apparatus is malfunctioning, it is determined that there is a possible malfunction:
the second drive motor fails or the controllable valve fails, and the controllable valve is in a fully closed state currently; and the number of the first and second groups,
the first drive motor is failed or the fan is failed, and the fan is currently in a stopped state.
In the exemplary embodiment of the present application, if the internal temperature is maintained within the floating range of the preset temperature, or if the internal temperature continuously rises, it indicates that the fan does not blow cool air inwards, and the controllable valve does not open to transfer heat outwards. Therefore, the fan side (including the first driving motor and the fan) and the controllable valve side (including the second driving motor and the controllable valve) both have faults, but whether the first driving motor is in fault or the fan is in fault in the fan side, and whether the second driving motor is in fault or the controllable valve is in fault in the controllable valve side can be judged in detail through the following scheme.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the method may further include:
detecting the working current of the first driving motor, and when the working current of the first driving motor is greater than or equal to a preset first current threshold, determining that the first driving motor is normal and the fan is in failure; when the working current of the first driving motor is smaller than or equal to a preset second current threshold, determining that the first driving motor is in a fault; wherein the first current threshold is greater than the second current threshold; and/or the presence of a gas in the gas,
detecting the working current of the second driving motor; when the working current of the second driving motor is greater than or equal to a preset third current threshold value, it can be determined that the second driving motor is normal, and the controllable valve is blocked; when the working current of the second driving motor is less than or equal to a preset fourth current threshold, determining that the second driving motor is in a fault; wherein the third current threshold is greater than the fourth current threshold.
In an exemplary embodiment of the application, when the working current of the first driving motor is greater than or equal to a preset first current threshold, it is indicated that the first driving motor can normally operate, but a locked-rotor phenomenon occurs, which may be a fan failure, for example, if the fan is jammed, the first driving motor cannot drive the fan to rotate, so that a locked-rotor current greater than or equal to the first current threshold is generated. When the working current of the first driving motor is smaller than or equal to the second current threshold, the working current of the first driving motor is very small and cannot be started normally, so that the first driving motor can be judged to be in a fault.
In the exemplary embodiment of the application, when the working current of the first driving motor is greater than or equal to the second current threshold and is less than the first current threshold, it can be determined that the first driving motor and the fan are both normal, at this time, it can be determined that an air inlet channel used for blowing air to the inside by the fan is possibly blocked, and a user can be reminded to dredge the air inlet channel.
