As mentioned above, each part of drive unit 120 is by microcomputer 100 controls.
Hereinafter, will the running of the common drying machine of said structure be described.
The user at first packs clothing into the hothouse 5 of cylinder 1 with drying clothes.The user shuts door closure and selects drying mode from press key input device 103.Select signal to be transfused to microcomputer 100 accordingly with drying mode.Microcomputer 100 identifications and the drying mode of selecting the corresponding drying machine of signal.If the user has selected drying mode, microcomputer 100 can head roll motor driver 118.When Rolling motor drive unit 118 was driven, the belt that twines along belt grooves 2 rotated by other drive source driving, therefore, and cylinder 1 rotation.
Microcomputer 100 is to fan drive device 121 input control signals, thus the driving blower motor.If blower motor is driven, just running of blower fan 17.Blower fan 17 is discharged air outside the hothouse through flock pipe 15.If the air in the hothouse 5 is discharged from, extraneous air is just introduced in the hothouse 5 through air supply pipe 12.
Simultaneously, microcomputer 100 drives heater driving device 124.Therefore, the air that heater driving device 124 heating are introduced when the air of introducing passes warm-air pipe 20, will improve the temperature of introducing air.Because the control of heater driving device 124, microcomputer 100 drives valves, with control via gas nozzle 22 gas supplied amounts, and the ignition operation of control spark plug 26.When microcomputer 100 by-pass valve controls and spark plug 26, the air themperature of introducing hothouse 5 is controlled basically.Know clearly it, if gas injects mixing tubes 24 via gas nozzle 22, the gas that sprays into is lighted by spark plug 26, then burning.At this moment, along with the burning of air, produce heat energy.Heat energy heats the air of introducing in the hothouse 5, thereby produces hot-air.

In other words, as shown in Figure 7, heater driving device 208 comprises the output according to operate as normal checkout gear 230, carries out the PNP transistor Q1 of switching manipulation, a NPN transistor Q2 by microcomputer 200 controls, and the relay 330 of a driving heater 42.This PNP transistor Q1, relay 330 and NPN transistor Q2 series connection.
Have only when two switching device Q1 and Q2 connect, electric current just can affact on the relay 330, drives heater 42 then.
Hereinafter, will the course of work of the drying machine of said structure be described.
Fig. 8 is a flow chart, is used for explaining the stable driving work of drying machine heater of the present invention.
Referring to Fig. 8, user's cylinder 44 of at first clothing being packed into is to carry out cloth drying.The user closes door closure, and selects drying mode by press key input device 201.Select signal to be input in the microcomputer 200 accordingly with drying mode.Microcomputer 200 is discerned the drying mode of drying machine according to selecting signal, and output roller drives signal to Rolling motor drive unit 206.When the Rolling motor (not shown) started, drum driven belt 54 rotated, and correspondingly, cylinder 44 was rotated.
Microcomputer 200 drives signal with blower motor and outputs to blower motor drive unit 207.Fan assembly 30 drives signal work according to blower motor, and the running of fan motor assembly 30 drives blower fan 31.When blower fan 31 was driven, the air in the cylinder 44 was discharged into blast pipe 34 through flock filter 36.
Be discharged from air cylinder 44 time point preceding and after, microcomputer 200 outputs to heater driving device 208 with the heater-driven signal.NPN transistor Q2 shown in Figure 7 switches to on-state according to the heater-driven signal.At this moment, the PNP transistor Q1 of heater driving device 208 keeps off-state.Therefore, although the heater-driven signal is exported from microcomputer 200, heat driven device 208 is cisco unity malfunction still.
Simultaneously, if blower fan 31 begins to drive, speed detector 300 detects the rotating speed correspondent frequency signal (S100) with blower fan 31.Frequency 310 is converted to detected frequency signal and detected frequency signal corresponding voltage signal (S110).Comparator 320 compares (S120) with this voltage signal and a critical value.If voltage signal is greater than critical value, comparator 320 is exported a low signal, thereby connects PNP transistor Q1 (S130).When PNP transistor Q1 connects and microcomputer 200 when the heater-driven signal is input to NPN transistor Q2, form from supply voltage Vdd to transistor Q1 and the current path of Q2 and relay 330.Therefore, heater 42 operate as normal.Simultaneously, if voltage signal is not more than critical value, then 320 of comparators are exported a high signal, thereby make NPN transistor Q2 keep off-state (S140).Therefore, although microcomputer 200 is input to the NPN transistor Q2 of heater driving device 208 with the heater-driven signal, 330 current path disconnects from supply voltage Vdd to relay.As a result, heater 42 cisco unity malfunctions.In other words, though blower fan 31 rotating speeds are increased to when being higher than established standards, comparator 320 is exported the heater-driven signals, and when blower fan 31 rotating speeds were lower than this established standards, comparator 320 can be exported the driving of a signal cut heater 42 again.Along with from supply voltage Vdd to transistor Q1, Q2 with the formation of the current path of relay 330, if heater driving device 208 operate as normal, then heater 42 is driven, thereby produces the necessary heat energy of dry work.
When blower fan 31 was discharged cylinder 44 with air, outside air was inhaled into cylinder 44 via air supply pipe 46.Because the heat that the heater 42 in air supply pipe 46 porch produces, when air when external environment is introduced cylinder 44, be heated to design temperature.That is, the air that under the suction of blower fan 31, is introduced into, before it was admitted to cylinder 44, heater 42 heated it.
After introducing cylinder 44, air absorbs moisture from clothing, flow to exhaust passage 45 through steam vent 43 then.Blower fan drives according to the operation of fan assembly 30, and under the suction of blower fan 31, the moisture that is comprised in the air is discharged in the external environment.After air flows to exhaust passage 45, be discharged into external environment via blast pipe 34.The suction of blower fan 31 makes air discharge by steam vent 43 from cylinder 44.The air that flock filter 36 purifies by steam vent 43, thus the contaminant particles that is comprised in the air (for example the end of a thread of clothing and fine hair) can not be sent to fan assembly 30.
Simultaneously, microcomputer 200 has a plurality of step values that are provided with according to the type and the aridity thereof of object to be dried, and, by electrode detection device 38 detected values and these step values are compared, discern the aridity of current object.For example, for the cotton material, microcomputer 200 has five steps, and the temperature difference of each step is 1 ℃.And, can set suitable temperature to each step.Therefore, if detected value is corresponding with step 2, microcomputer 200 will think object aridity not enough.
