Description

一种根据干衣机出筒空气温度变化调节冷凝介质量的方法 技术领域
本发明属于干衣机技术领域，具体地说，涉及一种根据干衣机出筒空气温度变化调节冷凝介质量的方法。
背景技术
干衣机通常具有容纳待烘干织物的筒以及与筒空间相通的冷凝装置。过程空气经过加热后与筒内的潮湿织物相遇，蒸发织物中的水分，变得潮湿。湿热的过程空气接着进入冷凝装置。在冷凝装置中，过程空气与温度较低的冷凝介质发生热交换，于是其中的水分被冷凝而从过程空气中分离出来。在干衣机的整个烘干过程中，冷凝装置附近空气的含水量是变化的，因而整个工作过程中干衣机对冷凝装置需求的功率也不相同。如果采用传统干衣机中保持冷凝装置整个工作过程功率不变的工作方式，势必会造成冷凝装置功率的浪费，从而浪费了资源。
申请号为201410479955.X的中国专利公开了一种干衣机及其烘干方法，具体公开了：其中干衣机包含控制装置，容纳待烘干织物的桶，与桶空间相通的冷凝装置，其中冷凝装置包含冷凝介质供应装置，所述方法包含至少根据冷凝介质的温度确定烘干过程中冷凝介质供应的节奏。本发明还公开了在烘干过程中，控制装置持续检测桶内织物信息的变化和/或参与烘干的过程空气的信息变化，并根据桶内织物信息的变化和/或参与烘干的过程空气的信息变化调整冷凝介质供应的节奏。该专利着重介绍了一种根据冷凝介质的温度来调节冷凝介质供应节奏的方法，采用此办法存在的问题是：一、冷凝介质的温度变化是通过干衣机出筒空气散热导致的，通过冷凝介质的温度变化来反应烘干过程显得不直接；二、冷凝介质特别是选用水作为冷凝介质时的比热容较大，因此，冷凝介质的温度反应不够灵敏，进一步的影响了整个冷凝介质供应调节的精确性。
为了降低水的消耗，现有冷凝干衣机对冷凝进水的控制，作出如下改进，根据时间节点对进水进行通断控制，例如烘干开始后，以进水15秒，停止进水5秒循环的方式进行控制。但这种方式没有考虑织物湿度的影响，单一的减少水的供应量反而使冷凝不充分，干燥时间变长，能耗变大。
有鉴于此特提出本发明。
发明内容
本发明要解决的技术问题在于克服现有技术的不足，提供一种根据干衣机出筒空气温度变化调节冷凝介质量的方法。
为解决上述技术问题，本发明采用技术方案的基本构思是：
一种根据干衣机出筒空气温度变化调节冷凝介质量的方法，包括如下步骤：
S1、干衣开始，检测干衣机出筒空气温度，确定出筒空气温度达到设定温度值；
S2、计算自干衣开始至出筒空气温度达到该设定温度值的时间值；
S3、至少根据步骤S2中计算的时间值确定冷凝介质的供应节奏；
S4、以步骤S3中确定的冷凝介质的供应节奏供应冷凝介质。
进一步的，在干衣机启动直至干衣机出筒空气温度达到所述设定温度值的过程中关闭供应冷凝介质。
进一步的，步骤S3中冷凝介质供应的节奏包括至少两个周期，每个周期至少包括根据所述时间值确定的供应冷凝介质的时长。
进一步的，干衣机出筒空气温度达到所述设定温度值的时间值越大，至少一周期供应冷凝介质的时间越长。
进一步的，步骤S3中冷凝介质供应的节奏包括至少两个周期，每个周期包括根据所述时间值确定的供应冷凝介质的单位时长和间隔。
进一步的，干衣机出筒空气温度达到所述设定温度值的时间值越大，至少一周期内开启冷凝介质供应的单位时长占该周期的时间比例越大。
进一步的方案为，本发明将出筒空气温度达到设定温度值后的干衣过程分为至少两个阶段，包括第一阶段和最后阶段，冷凝介质供应的节奏还随着干衣阶段的变化而发生变化。
进一步的，根据出筒空气温度的变化速率划分干衣阶段，测定干衣机出筒空气温度的变化速率小于干衣机设定的变化速率为第一阶段，干衣机出筒空气温度的变化速率大于干衣机设定的变化速率为第二阶段，每个阶段包括供应冷凝介质的单位时长和间隔。
进一步的，当干衣机出筒空气温度的变化速率小于设定的变化速率时，增大供应冷凝介质的单位时长，当干衣机出筒空气温度的变化速率大于设定的变化速率时，减小供应冷凝介质的单位时长。
进一步的，干衣机出筒空气温度达到所述设定温度值的时间值越大，初始供应冷凝介质的时长与后期供应冷凝介质的时长的比例越大。
本发明干衣机包括控制装置、加热装置，容纳待烘干织物的筒、与筒空间相通的冷凝装置和检测出筒空气温度的温度检测装置，其中冷凝装置包含冷凝介质供应装置，控制装置被设置成可根据上述方法控制干衣机的运行。
干衣机启动后，控制装置控制加热装置工作，向筒内提供加热的空气，加热空气与筒内织物热交换后，织物中水分蒸发形成水蒸气，从筒内排出，温度检测装置检测出筒空气温度，控制装置根据检测的出筒空气温度控制冷凝介质供应装置的开闭。
本发明根据检测的出筒空气温度达到设定温度值的时间值确定冷凝介质的第一供应节奏，根据出筒空气温度的变化速率确定冷凝介质的的第二供应节奏，干衣机通过第一供应节奏和第二供应节奏配合供应冷凝介质。
干衣开始至出筒空气温度达到设定温度值，为干衣前期阶段，该阶段控制装置控制冷凝介质供应装置关闭，不提供冷凝介质，该前期阶段的时长影响冷凝介质供应的多少，时间越长，说明织物内的水分越多，后续供应冷凝介质的时间越长；当出筒空气温度升高到设定温度值后，控制装置间隔控制冷凝介质供应装置的开闭对出筒空气中的水分进行冷凝，由于进入筒内的空气热量大多被织物中的水分吸收，出筒空气温度变化较小，即出筒空气温度的变化速率小于设定的变化速率，此时蒸发的水量也最多，此阶段延长供应冷凝介质的时长；随着干衣的进行，织物内水分越来越少，出筒空气温度的变化速率大于设定的变化速率，此阶段缩短供应冷凝介质的时长，延长冷凝介质供应装置的供应间歇。
本发明的冷凝介质优选为冷凝出筒空气中水分的冷却水。
采用上述技术方案后，本发明与现有技术相比具有以下有益效果：本发明干衣机可根据出筒空气温度的变化，调节供应冷凝介质单位时间供应量，因此既可保证干衣效率，同时避免冷凝介质的浪费。
下面结合附图对本发明的具体实施方式作进一步详细的描述。
附图说明
附图作为本发明的一部分，用来提供对本发明的进一步的理解，本发明的示意性实施例及其说明用于解释本发明，但不构成对本发明的不当限定。显然，下面描述中的附图仅仅是一些实施例，对于本领域普通技术人员来说，在不付出创造性劳动的前提下，还可以根据这 些附图获得其他附图。在附图中：
图1是本发明实施例干衣机控制装置的功能模块示意图；
图2是本发明实施例冷凝介质以及干衣机出筒空气温度随时间变化的曲线示意图；
图3是本发明另一实施例冷凝介质以及干衣机出筒空气温度随时间变化的曲线示意图。
需要说明的是，这些附图和文字描述并不旨在以任何方式限制本发明的构思范围，而是通过参考特定实施例为本领域技术人员说明本发明的概念。
具体实施方式
为使本发明实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚，下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图，对实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述，以下实施例用于说明本发明，但不用来限制本发明的范围。
本发明干衣机具有箱体和装于箱体内且容纳待烘干织物的筒。筒的进风口和出风口分别与加热装置以及冷凝装置连通。鼓风装置连接于加热装置和冷凝装置之间，从而促使空气在筒、加热装置以及冷凝装置之间流通，同时，筒的出风口上还装有温度检测装置以获得出筒空气温度。
冷凝装置包含空气通道和冷凝介质供应装置，其中冷凝介质供应装置包含与空气通道热传导地关联的冷凝介质路径和装于冷凝介质路径上的供应元件。供应元件的开启与关闭受控制装置的控制。温度检测装置与控制装置电连接，从而可将检测到的温度信息发送给控制装置。
其中，在冷凝装置的一种具体实施方式中，冷凝介质为冷却水，供应元件为水阀，冷凝介质路径在空气通道外部的部分为输水管道，在空气通道内的部分可以没有独立管道，直接沿着空气通道内壁向下延伸，或者在空气通道内向下喷洒。
在干衣过程中，加热装置加热空气由鼓风装置送入筒内，与其中的潮湿织物接触后蒸发织物中所含水分。湿热的空气随后进入冷凝装置的空气通道，在其中与冷凝介质路径内的冷凝介质发生热交换，于是出筒空气的温度降低，其中的水分被冷凝而从出筒空气中分离。随后，变得干燥的冷凝后空气再次进入加热装置，经加热后进入下一次循环，以此逐渐将水分从织物中分离。
在上述干衣过程中，冷凝介质的供应由供应元件确定，并受控制装置的控制。供应元件按一定的节奏开启/关闭。
本发明根据干衣机出筒空气温度变化调节冷凝介质量的方法，包括如下步骤：
S1、干衣开始，检测干衣机出筒空气温度，确定出筒空气温度达到设定温度值；
S2、计算自干衣开始至出筒空气温度达到该设定温度值的时间值；
S3、至少根据步骤S2中计算的时间值确定冷凝介质的供应节奏；
S4、以步骤S3中确定的冷凝介质的供应节奏供应冷凝介质。
进一步的，为了确保干衣筒内的织物尽快的达到所需要的温度，在干衣开始时，也即在出筒空气温度达到设定温度值之前，先不进行水的供应，因为此阶段干衣筒内的织物处于升温阶段，蒸发的水分较少，此时供应水，势必会影响到干衣筒内织物的升温速率，不利于整个干燥周期的蒸发。
对应于上述方法，如图1所示，作为能够实现上述方法的一个实施例如下：干衣机的控制装置包括存储模块202、记录模块201、对比模块203与执行模块204。存储模块202存有步骤S1中的设定温度值，记录模块201用于记录干衣机出筒空气温度达到设定温度值的时间，存储模块202还存有若干对应一定时间区间的控制程序，所述控制程序用来控制冷凝介质供应的节奏，对比模块203用于将记录模块201记录的干衣机出筒空气温度达到设定温度值的时间值与存储模块202中存有的时间区间进行比较，前面的时间值落入到哪个区间，对应的控制程序就控制执行模块204执行相应的冷凝介质供应的节奏。
在具体操作时，干衣机将步骤S1中的设定温度值定为50℃，冷凝介质选用水。其中，如图2、3所示，干衣机出筒空气温度达到设定温度50℃的时间值t2越大，说明织物内的水分越多，供应冷凝水的时间将延长一些(参阅图3)。达到这一设定温度的时间值t1越小，t1＜t2，说明织物内的水分越少，供应冷凝水的时间将缩短一些(参阅图2)。
步骤S3中冷凝介质供应的节奏包括两个周期，每个周期包括根据所述时间值确定的供应冷凝介质的单位时长和间隔，对应为图2、3中所示的冷凝介质开和冷凝介质关。干衣机出筒空气温度达到所述设定温度值的时间值越大，第一周期内开启冷凝介质供应的单位时长占该周期的时间比例越大。
本发明的原理：
干衣空气进入干衣机,与织物中的水分产生热交换，织物中的水分蒸发，进入空气，使空气湿热。在冷凝式干衣机中，湿热空气进入冷凝器，与冷凝介质产生热交换，空气温度降低，湿度饱和，于是空气中的水分冷凝成液态被分离。如果织物中的水分较多，出筒空气会因为进筒空气的大部分热量被水分吸收而出筒空气温度升高缓慢。但尽管温度较低，而实际水蒸 气含量大。如果织物中的水分较少，出筒空气会因为进筒空气的热量被水分吸收少而出筒空气温度升高较快，但实际水蒸气含量少。所以可以根据出筒空气的升温速度，对冷凝介质供应量进行调整，以能更快的对蒸发出的空气进行冷凝。
在整个干衣机工作的过程中出筒温度是逐渐升高的，织物内的水分是逐渐减少的，因此可以根据干燥过程的不同阶段，再细化调整冷凝水的供应时间。干衣机工作一段时间后，进入干衣筒内的空气热量大多被织物中的水分吸收，出筒温度变化较慢，此时蒸发的水量也最多，此时在一个周期内，供应冷凝水的时间要比较长。干燥后期，随着织物内水分的减少，干衣机出筒温度升高速率加大，此时供应冷凝水的时间减少即可实现干衣机出筒空气中水分的冷凝。
具体为：干衣开始至出筒空气温度达到设定温度值，为干衣前期阶段，该阶段控制装置控制冷凝介质供应装置关闭，不提供冷凝介质，该前期阶段的时长影响冷凝介质供应的多少，时间越长，说明织物内的水分越多，后续供应冷凝介质的时间越长；当出筒空气温度升高到设定温度值后，控制装置间隔控制冷凝介质供应装置的开闭对出筒空气中的水分进行冷凝，由于进入筒内的空气热量大多被织物中的水分吸收，出筒空气温度变化较小，即出筒空气温度的变化速率小于设定的变化速率，此时蒸发的水量也最多，此阶段延长供应冷凝介质的时长；随着干衣的进行，织物内水分越来越少，出筒空气温度的变化速率大于设定的变化速率，此阶段缩短供应冷凝介质的时长，延长冷凝介质供应装置的供应间歇。
本发明根据出筒空气温度的变化速率划分干衣阶段，测定干衣机出筒空气温度的变化速率小于干衣机设定的变化速率为第一阶段，干衣机出筒空气温度的变化速率大于干衣机设定的变化速率为第二阶段，每个阶段包括供应冷凝介质的单位时长和间隔。
当干衣机出筒空气温度的变化速率小于设定的变化速率时，增大供应冷凝介质的单位时长，当干衣机出筒空气温度的变化速率大于设定的变化速率时，减小供应冷凝介质的单位时长。
进一步的，干衣机出筒空气温度达到所述设定温度值的时间值越大，初始供应冷凝介质的时长与后期供应冷凝介质的时长的比例越大(参阅图3)。
以上所述仅是本发明的较佳实施例而已，并非对本发明作任何形式上的限制，虽然本发明已以较佳实施例揭露如上，然而并非用以限定本发明，任何熟悉本专利的技术人员在不脱离本发明技术方案范围内，当可利用上述提示的技术内容作出些许更动或修饰为等同变化的等效实施例，但凡是未脱离本发明技术方案的内容，依据本发明的技术实质对以上实施例所作的任何简单修改、等同变化与修饰，均仍属于本发明方案的范围内。
