Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1, one or more embodiments of the present invention can specifically provide a non-contact measuring device for a household appliance, which may include, but is not limited to, a first exciting unit 100, a first feedback unit 200, a signal detecting unit 300, a result generating unit 400, and the like.
As shown in fig. 1, and may be combined with fig. 2. The first excitation unit 100 is configured to generate a first excitation signal. The first pumping unit 100 includes an inverter AC, a first capacitor, which is a resonant capacitor C11 for generating resonance in the present invention, a first inductor L11, and a first state switching module KT 1. The resonant capacitor C11, the first inductor L11 and the first state switching module KT1 are all connected in series with the inverter AC; the first inductor L11 forms a first resistor R11 when the loop is in operation. The inverter AC is specifically configured to generate an alternating current signal, forming a first excitation signal via the resonant capacitor C11. Wherein, the first state switching module KT1 is used to control whether the first excitation unit 100 generates the first excitation signal, and the first state switching module KT1 in this embodiment is a relay: the first state-switching module KT1 generates the first pumping signal when it is closed, and the first state-switching module KT1 does not generate the first pumping signal when it is open. The first inductor L11 is used to emit a first excitation signal when the first excitation signal is generated.
The first feedback unit 200 is configured to generate a first mutual inductance with the first excitation unit 100 under the action of the first excitation signal. The first feedback unit 200 includes a second capacitor C12, a first feedback inductor L12, and a thermistor R12. It can be understood that the second capacitor C12, the first feedback inductor L12 and the thermistor R12 in this embodiment are connected in series to form a loop, and the first mutual inductance varies with the resistance of the thermistor R12 in the first feedback unit 200. Of course, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated circuit configuration, and the second capacitor C12 and the first feedback inductor L12 may be connected in parallel. It is understood that the first mutual inductance may increase as the resistance of the thermistor increases, or the first mutual inductance may decrease as the resistance of the thermistor increases, because the thermistor used in the embodiments of the present invention may be a positive temperature coefficient thermistor or a negative temperature coefficient thermistor.
The signal detection unit 300 is configured to detect a first electrical signal on the first excitation unit 100 for measuring a first mutual inductance. The first electrical signal in the present invention may be a voltage signal or a current signal I11In order to simplify the circuit structure, the present invention takes voltage signal detection as an example. The signal detection unit 300 in fig. 1 includes a diode D1, a resistor R1, and a resistor R2 connected in series, and the entire signal detection unit 300 is connected in parallel with the inverter AC and the resonant capacitor C11. The resistor R1 and the resistor R2 perform a voltage dividing function, and the voltage signal between the resistor R1 and the resistor R2 is used as the first electrical signal in this embodiment.
The result generation unit 400 is used to determine the temperature of the environment in which the thermistor R12 is located, from the first electrical signal. The result generation unit 400 of the present invention may be integrated on a controller of the home appliance, i.e., the present invention can implement the function of the result generation unit 400 through the home appliance controller.
It can be understood that, the relationship between the first electrical signal and the temperature of the environment where the thermistor R12 is located, the present invention can form the corresponding relationship between the voltage value and the temperature value into a voltage-temperature relationship table by means of product testing, and can use the voltage to calculate the relationship between the voltage value and the temperature value-the temperature relationship table is stored in the household appliance chip, and the corresponding voltage value U is detectedtdThe corresponding temperature value T can then be detected by means of a table lookup to determine the temperature of the environment in which the thermistor R12 is located. Alternatively, the invention may establish in advance a functional relationship between the voltage value and the temperature value, for example, T ═ f1(Utd). The corresponding voltage value U can be detectedtdAnd then, directly determining the temperature value T by a function calculation mode. F for different household appliances or different equipment parameters1(x) The present invention is not described in detail, which is often different.
As shown in fig. 2, the measuring apparatus with temperature measuring and ranging functions includes, but is not limited to, a first exciting unit 100, a first feedback unit 200, a second exciting unit 101, a second feedback unit 201, a signal detecting unit 300, and a result generating unit 400. The connection relationship, functions and principles among the first excitation unit 100, the first feedback unit 200, the signal detection unit 300 and the result generation unit 400 are as described above, and thus are not described in detail.
The second excitation unit 101 in the present invention is used for generating a second excitation signal. The second excitation unit 101 shown in fig. 2 shares the inverter AC and the resonant capacitor C11 with the first excitation unit 100.
The second excitation unit 101 includes an inverter AC, a resonant capacitor C11, a second inductor L21, and a second state switching module KT2 connected in series. The second state-switching module KT2 is used to control whether the second pumping unit 101 generates the second pumping signal, and the second state-switching module KT2 is also a relay. The second inductor L21 is used to emit a second excitation signal when the second state-switching module KT2 is closed. The inverter AC, which is connected in series with the resonant capacitor C11, is used to generate an alternating signal which is used to form the second excitation signal when measuring the distance or which is used to form the first excitation signal when measuring the temperature.
The second feedback unit 201 is configured to generate a second mutual inductance with the second excitation unit 101 under the action of the second excitation signal, a distance d to be measured is provided between the second feedback unit 201 and the second excitation unit 101, and the distance d to be measured and the second mutual inductance are in a negative correlation. Therefore, the larger the second mutual inductance value detected by the invention is, the smaller the distance value to be measured is; the smaller the detected second mutual inductance value is, the larger the value of the distance to be measured is; and the second mutual inductance is also detected by detection of the electrical signal.
The second feedback unit 201 includes a third capacitor C22, a second feedback inductor L22, and a resistor R22. In the invention, the third capacitor C22, the second feedback inductor L22 and the resistor R22 may be connected in series to form a loop, but the invention is not limited to the circuit structure, and the third capacitor C22 and the second feedback inductor L22 may be connected in parallel.
The signal detection unit 300 may further be configured to detect a second electrical signal on the second excitation unit 101 for measuring a second mutual inductance. The second electric signal in the invention is a voltage signal or a current signal I21. In order to simplify the circuit structure, the present invention still takes the voltage signal detection as an example. The signal detection unit 300 in fig. 2 may include a diode D1, a resistor R1, and a resistor R2 connected in series, and the entire signal detection unit 300 may be connected in parallel with the inverter AC and the resonant capacitor C11. The present embodiment may use the voltage signal between the resistor R1 and the resistor R2 as the second voltage signal.
The result generation unit 400 may also be used to determine the distance to be measured from the second electrical signal. It can be understood that, the relationship between the second electrical signal and the distance to be measured, the invention can form a relationship table by the corresponding relationship between the voltage value and the distance value in a product test mode, and store the relationship table in the household appliance chip, and when the corresponding voltage value U is detectedtdThen, the corresponding distance value d (the distance to be detected) can be detected by a table lookup manner, so as to realize the function of detecting the distance between the second excitation unit 101 and the second feedback unit 201. Alternatively, the invention may also be implemented to establish a functional relationship between the voltage value and the distance value, e.g. d ═ f2(Utd). The corresponding voltage value U can be detectedtdAnd then, directly determining the distance value d by means of function calculation. F for different household appliances or different appliance parameters2(x) The present invention is not described in detail, which is often different.
It can be understood that the parameter ranges of the first inductor L11, the first feedback inductor L12, the second inductor L21 and the second feedback inductor L22 in the present invention may all be 5uH to 100uH, the parameter ranges of the resonant capacitor C11, the second capacitor C12 and the third capacitor C22 may all be 10nF to 500nF, and the parameter range of the thermistor R12 may be 0 to 100K Ω. The frequency range of the alternating current signal generated by the inverter AC is 10KHz to 1MHz, and for example, 50KHz to 300KHz may be preferable.
It should be understood that the temperature measuring device and the distance measuring device provided by the present invention can be used separately. The invention can provide a device integrating the temperature measurement function and the distance measurement function, and can also provide a non-contact temperature measurement device or a non-contact distance measurement device independently.
As shown in fig. 3, the first inductor L11 and the second inductor L21 are located on the same plane. The first inductor L11, the first feedback inductor L12, the second inductor L21 and the second feedback inductor L22 provided by the invention can be a PCB etched coil structure, and certainly, a metal sheet structure can be used for reducing the cost.
It will be appreciated that the present invention can provide a domestic appliance including, but not limited to, a non-contact measuring device in any embodiment of the invention. Wherein the household appliances comprise at least one of electric baking pan, pressure cooker, electric cooker and other household appliances.
As shown in FIG. 4, for the electric baking pan as an example, the non-contact measuring device may include a first exciting unit and a second exciting unit disposed on the bottom plate of the electric baking pan, and a first feedback unit and a second feedback unit disposed on the cover of the electric baking pan. Specifically, the first inductor L11 and the second inductor L21 are both disposed on the bottom plate of the electric baking pan, and the first feedback inductor L12 and the second feedback inductor L22 are both disposed on the cover of the electric baking pan. The first inductor L11 and the first feedback inductor L12 are disposed opposite to each other in the vertical direction, and the second inductor L21 and the second feedback inductor L22 are disposed opposite to each other in the vertical direction. When the cover of the electric baking pan and the bottom plate of the electric baking pan are close to or far away from each other, the invention can determine the distance between the bottom plate and the cover (namely the thickness of food in the electric baking pan) and the temperature on the cover (the temperature of the upper surface of the food in the electric baking pan) by only detecting the voltage value.
As shown in fig. 5, taking a pressure cooker as an example, the non-contact measuring device may include a first exciting unit and a second exciting unit disposed on a body of the pressure cooker, and a first feedback unit and a second feedback unit disposed on a cover of the pressure cooker. Specifically, the first inductor L11 and the second inductor L21 are both disposed on the pressure cooker body, and the first feedback inductor L12 and the second feedback inductor L22 are both disposed on the pressure cooker cover. After the pressure cooker is pressurized, the pressure cooker cover drives the first feedback inductor L12 and the second feedback inductor L22 to be away from the inductor L11 and the second inductor L21 respectively.
As shown in fig. 6, and may be combined with fig. 2, the present invention can provide a non-contact measuring method for a home appliance based on the same inventive concept as the above-mentioned non-contact measuring device. The non-contact measurement method may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following steps.

And step 40, determining the temperature of the environment where the thermistor is located according to the first electric signal. Namely, the relation between the first electric signal, the first mutual inductance, the resistance value of the thermistor and the temperature is utilized to realize the temperature measuring function of the temperature measuring device.
The invention is carried out after the distance measurement is carried outDuring temperature measurement, a plurality of voltage-temperature relation tables (or functions T ═ f) can be arranged in the household appliance chip in advance1(Utd) Different voltage-temperature dependence tables (or functions T ═ f)1(Utd) Corresponding to different distances d. That is, in step 40, a corresponding voltage-temperature relationship table (or function T ═ f) is called according to the current distance d (the distance to be measured)1(Utd) Then the voltage-temperature relationship table (or function T ═ f) is used1(Utd) As a basis for determining the temperature of the environment in which the thermistor is located.
As shown in fig. 7, the non-contact measuring method for the home appliance may be performed as follows.
