Detailed Description
In view of the technical problem that the drying speed of a heat pump clothes dryer is limited in the prior art, the embodiment of the invention provides a clothes dryer control method, a device, a clothes dryer and a medium.
For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and the claims of the present invention and the above figures are used for distinguishing between similar objects and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used may be interchanged where appropriate such that the embodiments of the invention described herein may be implemented in sequences other than those illustrated or otherwise described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
Hereinafter, a dryer and a dryer control method provided in the embodiments of the present specification will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, a schematic structure of a heat pump clothes dryer according to the prior art is shown. The heat pump clothes dryer as shown in fig. 1 includes: compressor 101, radiator fan 102, condenser 103, evaporator 104, fan 105, heater 106, drying tub 107, and air duct 1000. The heat dissipation fan 102 is used for dissipating heat and reducing temperature of the compressor 101. Arrows in the drawing indicate the direction of air flow, and the air flows in the air duct 1000 to dehumidify and dry the laundry in the drying tub.
In practical applications, the heat pump dryer requires two cycle phases. First, air circulation: the impeller of the cooling fan 102 supplies power to blow high-temperature (temperature) and low-humidity (temperature) air into the clothes drying barrel 107, and after the air is changed into medium-temperature and high-humidity air, impurities such as filings are filtered through a filter screen (not shown), and after the impurities are cooled and dehumidified through the evaporator 104 and the condenser 103 respectively, the air changed into high-temperature and low-humidity air again flows into the impeller. Second, refrigeration cycle: the high-temperature refrigerant gas of the compressor 101 is discharged into the condenser 103, the condenser 103 exchanges heat with low-temperature and low-humidity air, after the temperature of the air rises, the refrigerant flows into the evaporator 104, heat in the air is absorbed/recovered in the expander 104, and simultaneously, the high-temperature and high-humidity air is refrigerated, so that wet moisture in the air is condensed and discharged, and then the refrigerant flows into the compressor 101. The two stages are continuously circulated, and finally, the moisture in the clothes is removed, so that the drying function/effect of the clothes dryer is realized.
As can be appreciated, the operation control logic of the heat pump dryer is specifically: after the heat pump dryer is started, a motor (not shown) rotates the blower 105 and the drying tub 107 (which may also be referred to as a drum). After a preset period of time G1 (e.g., 1 minute) has elapsed, the compressor 101 is started, and the air cycle and the refrigeration cycle for drying the clothes are started. In this process, the discharge temperature of the compressor 101 and the air temperature in the drying tub 107 are continuously increased. When the discharge temperature of the compressor 101 reaches the first preset temperature T1, the compressor heat radiation fan 102 is started to radiate heat to the compressor 101, so that the heat pump system is maintained within the safe operating temperature of the compressor 101. After the compressor radiator fan 102 is started, if the discharge temperature of the compressor 101 is reduced to the second preset temperature T2, the compressor radiator fan 102 is turned off and stops operating. The heat pump dryer system detects the air humidity in the dryer tub 107, and after the humidity reaches a preset humidity S1 (typically 55%), the compressor 101 stops running, and after the fan 105 continues to run for a period of time G2 (e.g., 1 minute min), the heat pump dryer is stopped.
It can be seen that the heat pump clothes dryer has the following problems in the clothes drying process: the heat pump system has slow heating time and long clothes drying time; the heat dissipation fan is used for cooling the compressor, so that the cost is high; the tightness of the system is better, but the clothes drying time is long, the multi-working mode is not supported, and the functional mode is single.
In order to solve the problems, the embodiment of the invention provides a clothes dryer, a clothes dryer control method and a clothes dryer control device. Fig. 2 is a schematic structural view of a clothes dryer according to an embodiment of the present invention. The clothes dryer may refer to a clothes dryer for drying clothes only, a drying and washing integrated machine for drying clothes and washing clothes, or other devices for drying clothes, and the like, and the invention is not limited. The dryer as shown in fig. 2 includes: the clothes dryer comprises a heater 100, a compressor 200, a clothes drying barrel 300, a first heat exchanger 500 (specifically, a condenser in this example), a second heat exchanger 400 (specifically, an evaporator in this example), a fan 600, an air inlet valve 700 and an air outlet 800 formed on the clothes drying barrel 300. Optionally, the air intake valve 700 is specifically mounted on the air inlet 710, which may be disposed between the first heat exchanger 500 and the blower 600. The air inlet valve 700 is used for introducing air to accelerate the drying speed and drying efficiency of the dryer, wherein the air introduced by the air inlet valve 700 is heated by the heater 100 and then is sent into the clothes drying barrel 300 for drying clothes, and the specific working principle is described below. An exhaust valve 810 can be further arranged on the exhaust port 800, and the exhaust valve 810 can be automatically opened when the clothes dryer operates, so that the exhaust port 800 is in an opening state; on the contrary, after the clothes drying process of the clothes dryer is finished or the clothes dryer is stopped, the exhaust valve 810 can be automatically closed, so that the exhaust port 800 is in a closed state, and sundries in the air are prevented from entering the clothes dryer.
In practice, please refer to fig. 3, which shows a side view of a dryer in different orientations. As shown in fig. 3, the air inlet valve 700 is an air inlet valve on the base of the dryer, and the air inlet 710 of the air inlet valve is communicated with the fan 600 and the first heat exchanger 500 on the base. The air outlet 800 is an air outlet on the drying tub 300 (which may also be called a drum), and the air outlet/air outlet valve 810, which communicates with the air duct of the front support, is connected through a hose, i.e., the air outlet 800 is connected to the rear of the dryer through a hose, so that the wet air in the drying tub can be discharged from the rear of the dryer.
Wherein the compressor 200, the first heat exchanger 500, the fan 600, the heater 100, the laundry drying tub 300, and the second heat exchanger 400 are sequentially connected. The air inlet valve 700 (and the air inlet 710 thereof) is disposed between the first heat exchanger 500 and the blower 600, for introducing air, thereby accelerating the drying efficiency of the dryer. Optionally, the clothes dryer further comprises an air duct 1000, the above components in the clothes dryer are connected through the air duct 1000, arrows in the air duct 1000 in the drawing indicate the direction of air flow, and air flows in the air duct 1000 to dehumidify and dry clothes in the clothes drying barrel. The air outlet 800 is used for discharging the wet air formed after the clothes are dried in the clothes drying drum 300, and the wet air carries heat to reduce the temperature parameter of the target components in the clothes dryer, so as to avoid damage to the clothes dryer.
In specific application, the clothes dryer has the following working principle: when the compressor 200 is started to operate, air can be sent into the first heat exchanger 500 to be heated, optionally, when the air inlet valve 700 is opened, air introduced through the air inlet valve 700 is driven to circulate through the fan 600, the air is heated again by the heater 100 and sent into the clothes drying barrel 300 to be dried, wet air in the clothes drying barrel after drying is sent back into the second heat exchanger 400 to be dehumidified, the dehumidified air is sent into the first heat exchanger 500 again to be heated, the working flow of the components is repeated, and clothes drying is performed by recycling the air until clothes drying is finished. Optionally, when the air outlet 800 is in an open state (i.e. the air outlet valve 810 is opened), the wet air in the clothes drying tub can be discharged through the air outlet 800, so as to reduce the temperature parameters of the corresponding components in the clothes dryer, such as the temperature of the clothes drying tub, the temperature of the compressor, etc., to ensure that the clothes dryer is not damaged.
Fig. 4 is a schematic flow chart of a clothes dryer control method according to an embodiment of the invention. The method as shown in fig. 4 is applied to the dryer in fig. 2, and includes the following implementation steps:
s401, after the clothes dryer runs for a preset time, monitoring temperature parameters of the clothes dryer, wherein the temperature parameters are used for representing temperature parameters of target components in the clothes dryer.
The temperature parameter of the present invention refers to a temperature parameter for describing any one or more target components constituting the clothes dryer, and may include, but is not limited to, for example, an exhaust temperature of a compressor in the clothes dryer, an air temperature in a drying tub, a heating temperature of a heater, and a condensing temperature of a heat exchanger, and in particular, a condensing temperature of a condenser, etc. The number of the temperature parameters is not limited, and may be one or more.
The invention is energy-saving, and the temperature parameter of the clothes dryer can be continuously monitored after the clothes dryer runs for a preset time, for example, the temperature parameter of the clothes dryer is collected according to a preset time interval, and the like.
In an alternative embodiment, the present invention may also determine the operation mode of the dryer before or after step S401.
The clothes dryer supports multiple working modes, and can be set according to actual requirements of users. For example, the present invention is described with respect to the operation modes supported by the clothes dryer including a quick drying mode (which may be also referred to as an intelligent quick drying mode) and an energy saving mode (which may be also referred to as an energy saving and environment protecting mode), but is not limited thereto.
In a specific embodiment, the present invention may receive a user interaction instruction, where the user interaction instruction is used to indicate an operation mode that the clothes dryer needs to enter. Correspondingly, the invention can obtain the working mode of the clothes dryer by analyzing the user interaction instruction.
In still another specific embodiment, the invention can acquire environmental temperature and humidity data and temperature and humidity data in the clothes dryer, further the invention can analyze the environmental temperature and humidity data and the temperature and humidity data in the clothes dryer to determine the working mode of the clothes dryer, and particularly the invention can analyze the magnitude relation, the difference data, or any data and the like between any temperature data or humidity data in the environmental temperature and humidity data and the temperature and humidity data in the clothes dryer to determine the corresponding working mode. For example, when the temperature data in the environmental temperature and humidity data is larger (for example, larger than a preset temperature), the energy-saving mode can be selected. When the humidity data and the temperature data in the environmental temperature and humidity data are smaller (for example, less than or equal to a preset temperature), a quick drying mode of the clothes dryer can be selected to be entered.
S402, corresponding clothes drying control is carried out on an air inlet valve and/or a heater in the clothes dryer according to the monitored temperature parameter.
Specifically, the invention can correspondingly control the air inlet valve and/or the heater in the clothes dryer in the working mode according to the monitored temperature parameter.
In a specific embodiment, the working mode is a preset first mode, for example, a quick drying mode, or other user-defined working modes. The invention can repeatedly execute the following steps under the preset first mode until the clothes drying is finished: when the temperature parameter of the clothes dryer is in a first range, opening the air inlet valve, and keeping the heater continuously heated, so that the temperature parameter of the clothes dryer continuously rises; and stopping heating of the heater when the temperature parameter of the clothes dryer is in the second range so as to reduce the temperature parameter of the clothes dryer. Wherein the upper threshold of the first range is less than or equal to the lower threshold of the second range.
In another embodiment, the operation mode is a preset second mode, such as an energy saving mode, or other user-defined operation modes. The invention can repeatedly execute the following steps under the preset second mode until the clothes drying is finished: stopping heating by the heater and keeping the air inlet valve closed when the temperature parameter of the clothes dryer is in a third range, wherein the temperature parameter of the clothes dryer continuously rises; and opening the air inlet valve when the temperature parameter of the clothes dryer is in the fourth range so as to reduce the temperature parameter of the clothes dryer. Wherein the upper threshold of the third threshold is less than or equal to the lower threshold of the fourth range.
The first range, the second range, the third range and the fourth range related to the present invention are all set by system customization, and the first range, the third range, the second range and the fourth range may be the same or different, which is not limited by the present invention. The clothes drying speed and the clothes drying efficiency of the preset first mode and the clothes drying efficiency of the preset second mode are different, and the clothes drying speed or the clothes drying efficiency of the preset first mode is better than the clothes drying speed or the clothes drying efficiency of the preset second mode.
The judging mode of the clothes drying end of the invention can be specifically as follows: and when the air humidity in the clothes drying barrel in the clothes dryer reaches the preset humidity, the end of drying the clothes can be determined. Further alternatively, the present invention may stop the operation of the compressor in the dryer and close the air inlet valve after detecting/judging that the air humidity in the drying tub in the dryer reaches a preset humidity.
In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present invention, taking the temperature parameter of the clothes dryer including the air humidity in the clothes drying barrel of the clothes dryer or the exhaust temperature of the compressor as an example, several implementations of the clothes dryer control method in the embodiments of the present invention are described in the quick drying mode and the energy saving mode of the clothes dryer, respectively, and are not limiting to the embodiments of the present invention.
For a first preset mode:
after the clothes dryer is started, the motor drives the fan and the clothes drying barrel to rotate, and meanwhile, the heater is started to heat circulating air, so that the air inlet valve is closed. After a predetermined period of time (e.g., 1 min), the compressor is started, and as the heater is started, the temperature in the drying tub (drum) and the exhaust temperature of the compressor are continuously increased. When the temperature in the drying tub rises to a first range T11 (e.g., about 50-60 c), the intake valve opens and the heater continues to start heating. Because the intake valve is opened, the heat of the clothes dryer system leaks out from the exhaust port, and the temperature in the clothes dryer barrel generally maintains or slowly rises. When the temperature in the drying tub continues to rise to a second range T12 (e.g., 60-65 c), or the discharge temperature of the compressor rises to a corresponding preset second range T12 (e.g., a safe temperature range, greater than 90 c), the heater stops heating.
Further, since the heater stops heating, the temperature in the drying tub and the exhaust temperature of the compressor are rapidly reduced, and when the temperature in the drying tub (or the exhaust temperature of the compressor) is reduced to be within a corresponding first range, for example, the temperature in the drying tub is reduced to 50-60 ℃, or the exhaust temperature of the compressor is reduced to 85-90 ℃, the heater restarts heating. In the clothes drying process, the heater is continuously and circularly started or stopped to heat by detecting the temperature in the clothes drying barrel or the exhaust temperature of the compressor until the clothes drying is finished. When the air humidity in the clothes drying barrel reaches a preset humidity S1 (for example, 50% -55%), the compressor in the clothes dryer stops running, and the air inlet valve is closed. After the fan continues to run for a period of time (e.g., 1 minute), the dryer is shut down.
For the second preset mode:
after the clothes dryer is started, the motor drives the fan and the clothes drying barrel to rotate, and meanwhile, the heater is started to heat circulating air, so that the air inlet valve is closed. After a predetermined period of time (e.g., 1 min), the compressor is started, and as the heater is started, the temperature in the drying tub (drum) and the exhaust temperature of the compressor are continuously increased. When the temperature in the clothes drying barrel rises to a first range (for example, about 50-60 ℃) or the exhaust temperature of the compressor rises to a first range (generally, more than 85 ℃) which corresponds to the preset range, the heater stops heating, and the air inlet valve is closed. The temperature in the drum and the discharge temperature of the compressor generally maintain or slowly rise due to the heater stopping heating. When the temperature in the drying tub continues to rise to a second range (e.g., 60-65 c), or the discharge temperature of the compressor rises to a corresponding preset second range (e.g., a safe temperature range, greater than 90 c), the intake valve is opened.
Further, since the heater stops heating and the air inlet valve is opened, the temperature in the clothes drying barrel and the exhaust temperature of the compressor are rapidly reduced, and when the temperature in the clothes drying barrel (or the exhaust temperature of the compressor) is reduced to be within a corresponding first range, for example, the temperature in the clothes drying barrel is reduced to 50-60 ℃, or the exhaust temperature of the compressor is reduced to 85-90 ℃, and the air inlet valve is closed again. In the clothes drying process, the air inlet valve is continuously and circularly opened or closed by detecting the temperature in the clothes drying barrel or the exhaust temperature of the compressor until the clothes drying is finished. When the air humidity in the clothes drying barrel reaches a preset humidity S1 (for example, 50% -55%), the compressor in the clothes dryer stops running, and the air inlet valve is closed. After the fan continues to run for a period of time (e.g., 1 minute), the dryer is shut down.
