Definitions
- the present invention relates to a control method for drying machines to distinguish problems causing temperature increase in the machine and inform the user properly so that the necessary precautions are taken.
- a fluff filter also known as a door filter or a fibre filter.
- the fluff filter should be cleaned by the user after each drying process.
- a filter known as a condenser where the fibres escaping from the fluff filter are collected. Clogging of the filters cause reduction in performance of the machine, increase in the energy consumption and a prolonged drying period. Furthermore, clogging of the filters may cause the drying machine to heat suddenly and excessively, which may damage the machine in the long term, pose a risk of fire, damage the laundry inside the drum and/or cause the user to experience sudden temperature when she/he opens the door.
- Patent document no. US2008072450A1 discloses a clogging detection system for drier. According to this document, in order to determine the clogging in an air passage, temperature values of the heater and air passage are used. However, system disclosed in this document cannot distinguish the situations when there is problem with fan motor and when the clogging occurs.
- EP3299512A1 a control method for laundry drying machine and a laundry drying machine. According to this document, in order to determine plugging of a lint filter, a difference between the compressor outlet temperature and the drum outlet temperature is used. Although one reason for said temperature difference is plugging of the lint filter, it is not the only reason. Therefore, method of this document cannot determine the filter plugging correctly.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a control method to detect and distinguish problems occurring in the drying machines and causing temperature increase.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a control method to inform the user about the problem occurred so that the necessary precautions are taken.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a reliable control method.
- a filter also known as fluff filter and condenser. Clogging of these filters cause reduction in performance of the machine, increase in the energy consumption and a prolonged drying period. Furthermore, clogging of the filters may cause the drying machine to heat suddenly and excessively, which may damage the machine in the long term, pose a risk of fire, damage the laundry inside the drum and/or cause the user to experience sudden temperature when she/he opens the door. Apart from clogging of said filters, reasons as malfunctioning of a motor of the machine may cause a temperature increase; and failing to respond the specified problem at the right time may result in machine damage. Accordingly, with the present invention, there is provided a control method to inform the user about the problem occurred so that the necessary precautions are taken, in case an unexpected temperature increase occurs.
- the control method according to the invention is for use in a drying machine as defined in claim 1.
- the user initiates a drying program via e.g. a control panel of the drying machine by choosing one of the stored drying programs and determining the parameters regarding the drying process.
- the drying program may comprise a drying phase during which the drying process is performed and a cooling phase during which a temperature of the machine and the laundry is decreased after completion of the drying process, wherein after completion of the drying phase and the cooling phase, a finishing mode is adopted during which the motor and the heater are turned off/stopped.
- the drying phase is initiated as well, and the motor and the heater are activated.
- the first measurement unit measures a temperature of the heater in a first period which may be e.g.
- the control unit compares the temperature value measured by the first measurement unit with a first threshold value, and repeats this process as long as the temperature value is below the first threshold value. If the control unit detects that temperature value measured by the first measurement unit is equal to or above the first threshold value, it allows the heater to be turned off and compares the temperature value measured by the first measurement unit with the first threshold value after a first time period. If the control unit detects that temperature value measured by the first measurement unit is below the first threshold value following said comparison, it compares periodically the temperature values measured by the first measurement unit with a second threshold value, thereby controlling whether a temperature of the heater decreases below the second threshold value.
- the drying program (the drying phase) is continued such that the heater is turned off and the motor is in operation; and when it is detected that the temperature of the heater has decreased below the second threshold value, the heater is re-activated and the program is resumed on. If it is detected that the temperature values measured by the first measurement unit are equal to or above the first threshold value, the control unit detects whether the temperature values measured by the second measurement unit have decreased or not. Said detection process can be performed by the control unit by comparing the temperature values measured by the second measurement unit with each other. For example, the control unit is able to receive temperature values measured by the second measurement unit and compare them with a previous temperature value periodically.
- control unit may comprise a memory unit so that a received measurement value can be compared with a previous temperature value that is stored at the memory unit.
- the control unit may comprise a memory unit so that a received measurement value can be compared with a previous temperature value that is stored at the memory unit.
- the control unit turns off the heater and a cooling phase is carried out.
- the warning unit provides a filter clogged warning when the program is completed.
- temperature of the motor and the heater is monitored, and a reason for a temperature increase occurred in the machine is determined by evaluating a change in the temperature values. Therefore, the user can be informed that the generated temperature is due to a motor failure or the filter being clogged, and thus, the user cleans the filter or calls a technical service in case of a motor error to eliminate the error.
