Definitions
- the invention relates to a washing machine and a device for controlling the drum drive motor of such a machine.
- the invention overcomes this drawback.
- the machine comprising means for controlling the speed of rotation of the drum to a setpoint supplied by a programmer, the difference between the actual speed of the drum and the setpoint speed is used to detect the imbalance.
- No particular detection means are therefore provided for unbalances because it is the same means and the same signal which ensures unbalance detection and speed regulation.
- This earlier request 71 308 also corresponds to the situations provided for in paragraphs 3 and 4 of Article 54 EPC and cannot (Article 56 EPC) be taken into account for the assessment of inventive step. It is only enforceable for the following designated states: DE-GB-IT.
- the invention relates to a washing machine comprising a servo-control of the speed of the drum drive motor to a setpoint supplied by a programmer as well as means for detecting unbalances in the drum, which is characterized in that the unbalances are detected, during the acceleration of the motor, by the servo error signal, that is to say the difference between the actual speed of rotation of the drum and its speed instructions.
- the invention also relates to a washing machine comprising a servo-control of the speed of the drum drive motor to a setpoint supplied by a programmer as well as means for detecting imbalances in the drum, which is characterized in that the unbalances are detected by the servo error signal, that is to say the difference between the actual speed of rotation of the drum and its set speed, and in this that it includes a microprocessor for slaving and detecting unbalances.
- the assembly is such that the servo-control is of average precision so that said deviation, or error signal, has a non-negligible value.
- the precision of the regulation is 3 rpm, that is to say that a difference between the actual rotation speed and the set speed is only detected if it exceeds 3 rpm .
- the error signal it is also possible to choose an engine power which is not excessively excessive.
- the speed is measured using a tachometer generator driven by the engine and the analog signal supplied by this generator is applied to the input of a microprocessor in which, after conversion into digital form, it is compared to digital speed setpoint signals to regulate.
- the microprocessor is also such that if the difference exceeds a determined value at the start of a spin phase, a speed decrease command is produced to stop the rotation or decrease the speed so as to remove the unbalance.
- the washing machine comprises an electric motor 10 supplied with alternating current by means of a switching power supply comprising, in a manner known per se, a controlled switch 11 such as a triac and a circuit for control of this switch.
- a controlled switch 11 such as a triac
- the motor is supplied with direct current.
- the speed of rotation of the motor 10 for driving the drum of the machine is a function of the power received by this motor, that is to say of the duration of closure of the switch 11 during a given period. .
- This given period is for example an alternation or a half-alternation of the alternating current.
- the switch 11 being a triac, it is such that as soon as it has received a conduction control pulse on its trigger 13, it remains conductive until the current passing through it passes through the value zero .
- the duration of closure of the switch 11 then depends only on the instant of its closure during a half-period of the alternating current. This instant is commonly expressed as a phase shift angle 0 relative to the start of the half-cycle, the end of the half-cycle corresponding to 180 0 (FIG. 2).
- control pulses of the triac 11 are delivered by an interface circuit 12 receiving its input signals from the output 14 of a microprosser 15 into which all the programming instructions of the machine have been introduced.
- This microprocessor 15 has an input 16 receiving the analog signal supplied by a tachometer generator 17 driven by the motor shaft 10.
- the speed setpoint instructions for the motor 10 are stored in digital form and are compared with the digital signals of real speed, obtained after an analog-digital conversion (carried out inside the microprocessor 15) of the signals supplied by the generator 17, in order to control the speed of the motor 10 to the programmed reference speed.
- the microprocessor is thus programmed to calculate the difference s, or error signal, between the set speed V c and the actual speed V r : and this difference is converted, thanks to a table introduced into the memory of the microprocessor 15, into an angle 0 making it possible to close the switch 11 at each half-wave at an instant such that the error signal is minimized, the real speed being thus brought as close as possible to the set speed.
- each speed signal is expressed by a binary number, or word, of 8 bits.
- the speed is thus measured using 256 elements. Since the drum can rotate at 750 rpm, an increment of speed corresponds to 3 rpm. In other words, the precision of the regulation is 3 revolutions / min.
- the error signal s calculated in the microprocessor 15 is also used to detect unbalances during the acceleration of the rotation of the motor. If, during this acceleration, the error signal s exceeds a limit value s M the engine is slowed down and it is commanded to carry out a release operation and then resume its acceleration. If an unbalance is again detected, a release operation is again ordered. However, the engine is completely stopped by three unsuccessful attempts, that is to say after three tests having shown that the error signal exceeds the limit value s M. In fact, experience has shown that after three stripping operations, the probability that the laundry will be distributed irregularly, and thus cause imbalances, is practically negligible.
- the various elements of the control being such that the error signal is not too weak, the unbalance is always detectable under good conditions. In fact, if the quality of the regulation is too high, even in the event of an imbalance, the error signal can be very weak. On the contrary by choosing a quality of regulation which is not too important, the error signal s will keep a measurable value, easily exploitable for the detection of imbalances.
- FIG. 3 is a simplified flowchart showing part of the programming of the microprocessor 15.
- the diamonds correspond to comparisons and the rectangles to operations carried out.
- This flowchart being an integral part of the present description, it is not necessary to describe it in detail.
- the operation corresponding to the diamond 20 "speed increase” consists in determining whether, on the one hand, the speed of the motor increases and, on the other hand, whether this speed is between 50 rpm (speed which corresponds to lava ge) and 150 rpm. It is only in the event of a positive response to this question that the comparison is made between the error signal s and the limit value b ⁇ M (diamond 21). In the example ⁇ M is of the order of 30 revolutions / min.
