Description

洗衣机 技术领域
本发明涉及一种洗衣机。
背景技术
以往,在洗衣机中,已知一种在上面板设置水平仪的洗衣机(参照例如,专利文献1)。当洗衣机设置于设置场所时,如果洗衣机没有被水平设置,水平仪没有表现出水平状态,则安装作业人员或用户会调整设置于箱体的底面四角处的腿部的高度。
在设置洗衣机时,例如有可能发生如下情况:一个腿部悬空而其他三个腿部着地,结果洗衣机仍然不倾斜而保持在几乎水平的状态。这时,安装作业人员、用户不容易注意到洗衣机处于这样的状态。这样,在洗衣机设置成不稳定的状态下直接进行洗涤运转的情况下,特别是在洗涤脱水桶旋转时,箱体会发生向悬空的腿部一方倾斜后又复原的摆动,可能会发生由这样的箱体倾斜摆动引起的噪音等不良情况。

在洗涤过程和漂洗过程中,在洗涤脱水桶24内蓄有水的状态下,波轮26向右方向和左方向旋转。洗涤脱水桶24内的洗涤物通过由波轮26的旋转而发生的水流等的作用,被清洗或者漂洗。
在中间脱水过程和最终脱水过程中,洗涤脱水桶24和波轮26一体地高速旋转。洗涤物通过在洗涤脱水桶24中发生的离心力的作用而被脱水。需要说明的是,在中间脱水过程和最终脱水过程中,在洗涤脱水桶24内的洗涤物的单侧偏离大的情况下,当洗涤脱水桶24上升到规定的脱水转速时,外桶20可能会大幅摆动。控制部101根据作用于加速度传感器80的动加速度判定该外桶20的摆动的大小,在发生超过允许大小的摆动的情况下,中止洗涤脱水桶24的旋转的启动,通过波轮26的旋转等进行将洗涤脱水桶24内的洗涤物解开的解开动作。
烘干过程中,首先进行内部空气循环烘干过程,接着进行外部空气导入烘干过程。内部空气循环烘干过程中,烘干装置50进行循环烘干动作,由此暖风在循环风路50a与外桶20之间循环。通过烘干风的循环,洗涤脱水桶24内的温度迅速上升。波轮26进行旋转,洗涤物一边被搅拌一边被循环的暖风烘干。当洗涤脱水桶24内的温度继续上升,水分从洗涤物蒸发而使得暖风中含有大量水分时,切换为外部空气导入烘干过程。外部空气导入烘干过程中,通过烘干装置50进行排风烘干动作,向循环风路50a导入外部空气,并且从循环风路50a排出一部分循环的暖风。由于从洗涤物蒸发的水分有效地从外桶20内排出到箱 体10外,外桶20内变得容易除湿,因此促进了洗涤物的烘干。
那么,当全自动洗干一体机1设置于设置场所时,例如,由于一个腿部17从地板等的设置面悬空而其他三个腿部17触及设置面,结果可能会发生全自动洗干一体机1不倾斜而保持大致水平状态的情况。例如,在右前侧的调整腿17a的腿部17的高度比左前侧的调整腿17a的腿部17的高度低的情况下,右前侧的腿部17容易成为从设置面悬空的状态,相反,在左前侧的腿部17的高度比右前侧的腿部17的高度低的情况下,左前侧的腿部17容易成为从设置面悬空的状态。
此外,即使前后左右的四个腿部17的高度相等,在为了调整全自动洗干一体机1的高度等而将各个腿部17载置于调整块等调整构件上的情况下,当一个调整构件比其他的调整构件低时,本该载置于该调整构件的腿部17容易成为从设置构件的设置面悬空的状态。这样,在全自动洗干一体机1设置得不稳定的状态下进行洗涤运转等时,当洗涤脱水桶24旋转时,箱体10可能会发生向悬空的腿部17倾斜后又复原的摆动并发生因这样的箱体10倾斜摆动而引起的噪音等不良情况。
因此,在本实施方式的全自动洗干一体机1中,除了洗涤运转、洗涤烘干运转以及烘干运转,还能进行设置模式的运转。在全自动洗干一体机1设置于设置场所之后,为了确认全自动洗干一体机1的设置状态,由安装作业人员或用户(以下,称为“用户等”)进行设置模式的运转。
图5是表示本实施方式的设置模式的运转的控制处理的流程图。图6的(a)至(d)是表示本实施方式的摆动时箱体10倾斜方向的告知的一例的图,图6的(e)是表示本实施方式的无法调整的告知的一例的图。
当根据规定的操作开始设置模式的运转时,控制部101使驱动马达31旋转,使未收容洗涤物的状态的洗涤脱水桶24以比脱水时的转速小的转速、希望是比发生洗涤脱水桶24的纵向共振的转速小的转速向一个方向旋转(S1)。这时,与脱水时相同,波轮26与洗涤脱水桶24一体旋转。
在所有四个腿部17都触及设置面的情况下,由于箱体10处于稳定的状态,因此在洗涤脱水桶24旋转时,箱体10几乎不会发生倾斜摆动。另一方面,在 一个腿部17悬空的情况下,箱体10处于不稳定的状态,因此随着洗涤脱水桶24的旋转,会发生箱体10向悬空的腿部17侧倾斜后又复原的摆动。即,在右前侧的腿部17悬空的情况下,箱体10以向右斜前方倾斜的方式摆动,在左前侧的腿部17悬空的情况下,箱体10以向左斜前方倾斜的方式摆动,在右后侧的腿部17悬空的情况下,箱体10以向右斜后方倾斜的方式摆动,在左后侧的腿部17悬空的情况下,箱体10以向左斜后方倾斜的方式摆动。悬空的腿部17与设置面之间的间隙越大,箱体10能倾斜的量换言之即角度越大,则箱体10这样的倾斜摆动越大。
这里,外桶20处于被吊棒21悬吊的状态,因此,不容易与箱体10一起倾斜,能向箱体10倾斜的方向大致水平地移动。因此,在箱体10发生倾斜摆动时,外桶20大致水平地摆动,因此在装配于外桶20的加速度传感器80上,动加速度几乎不作用于作为垂直方向的Y轴方向,根据摆动的方向,动加速度作用于X轴方向和Z轴方向。即,当箱体10以向右斜前方倾斜的方式摆动时和箱体10以向左斜后方倾斜的方式摆动时,在加速度传感器80上,动加速度作用于Z轴方向,动加速度几乎不作用于X轴方向和Y轴方向。
此外,当箱体10以向左斜前方倾斜的方式摆动时和箱体10以向右斜后方倾斜的方式摆动时,在加速度传感器80上,动加速度作用于X轴方向,动加速度几乎不作用于Z轴方向和Y轴方向。作用于X轴方向和Z轴方向的最大的动加速度与箱体10倾斜摆动的大小相关,箱体10倾斜的摆动越大,则最大的动加速度越大。
当洗涤脱水桶24旋转时,控制部101通过加速度传感器80采样X轴方向和Z轴方向的加速度数据(S2)。控制部101进行加速度数据的采样直到经过了采样时间(S3:是)。采样时间例如设定为洗涤脱水桶24旋转数次的长度。
接着,控制部101提取X轴方向的加速度数据的最大值和Z轴方向的加速度数据的最大值(S4)。由于被采样的加速度数据中包括正值和负值,因此被提取的最大值是绝对最大值。控制部101判定X轴方向和Z轴方向中的任一方向的加速度数据的最大值是否超过分别与其对应的第一阈值(S5)。第一阈值通过实验等来确定,是当箱体10发生超过允许大小的倾斜摆动时,加速度数据的超过最大值的值。
在X轴方向和Z轴方向中的任一方向的加速度数据的最大值没有超过分别与其对应的第一阈值的情况下(S5:否),即箱体10没有发生超过允许大小的倾斜摆动的情况下,控制部101使驱动马达31停止而使洗涤脱水桶24停止(S6)。
另一方面,在X轴方向和Z轴方向中的任一方向的加速度数据的最大值超过分别与其对应的第一阈值的情况下(S5:是),即在箱体10发生超过允许大小的倾斜摆动的情况下,控制部101判定这些最大值是否超过了分别与其对应的第二阈值(S7)。第二阈值通过实验等来确定,是即使通过调整腿17a进行调整,箱体10倾斜的摆动也无法平息至允许大小时,加速度数据的超过最大值的值。
在X轴方向和Z轴方向中的任一方向的加速度数据的最大值没有超过分别与其对应的第二阈值的情况下(S7:否),控制部101将通知需要调整全自动洗干一体机1的设置状态的告知音输出给蜂鸣器93(S8)。告知音例如可以是“噼——、噼——……”这样的间歇的蜂鸣音。
进而,控制部101根据X轴方向和Z轴方向的加速度数据,判定摆动时箱体10的倾斜方向(S9)。即,在箱体10向右斜前方倾斜的情况下,Z轴方向的加速度数据的最大值变得比X轴方向的加速度数据的最大值大,并且最初采样的Z轴方向的加速度数据取正值。
此外,在箱体10向左斜前方倾斜的情况下,X轴方向的加速度数据的最大值变得大于Z轴方向的加速度数据的最大值,并且最初采样的X轴方向的加速度数据取负值。进而,在箱体10向左斜后方倾斜的情况下,Z轴方向的加速度数据的最大值变得大于X轴方向的加速度数据的最大值,并且最初采样的Z轴方向的加速度数据取负值。进而,在箱体10向右斜后方倾斜的情况下,X轴方向的加速度数据的最大值大于Z轴方向的加速度数据的最大值,并且最初采样的X轴方向的加速度数据取正值。
控制部101根据S9中的倾斜判定结果,将摆动时箱体10倾斜的方向告知于显示部92的剩余时间显示部92a(S10)。该告知中,如图6的(a)至(d)所示,使用剩余时间显示部92a的两个七段LED。剩余时间显示部92a相当于本发明的第二告知部。
在箱体10向右斜前方倾斜的情况下,如图6的(a)所示,右侧的七段LED点亮以表示箱体10的右前角,在箱体10向左斜前方倾斜的情况下,如图6的(b)所示,左侧的七段LED点亮以表示箱体10的左前角。此外,在箱体10向左斜后方倾斜的情况下,如图6的(c)所示,左侧的七段LED点亮以表示箱体10的左后角,在箱体10向右斜后方倾斜的情况下,如图6的(d)所示,右侧的七段LED点亮以表示箱体10的右后角。
通过这些剩余时间显示部92a中的显示,用户等能掌握摆动时箱体10倾斜的方向即悬空的腿部17的位置。用户等在作为前侧的左右调整腿17a的腿部17的任意一个悬空着的情况下,调整这些调整腿17a的高度以使悬空的腿部17触及设置面。在后侧的左右的腿部17悬空着的情况下,在悬空着的腿部17与设置面之间插入偏心件等间隔件。通过这些调整能使全自动洗干一体机1的设置状态稳定。
在S8中的通过蜂鸣器93进行的告知开始之后,洗涤脱水桶24仍继续旋转。与S2至S5相同,控制部101进行X轴方向和Z轴方向的加速度数据的采样(S11、S12),提取X轴方向的加速度数据的最大值和Z轴方向的加速度数据的最大值(S13),判定任意一个最大值是否超过了与其对应的第一阈值(S14)。在用户等所进行的调整不充分,任意一个最大值超过与其对应的第一阈值的期间(S14:是),控制部101重复S11至S14的处理。在此期间,继续由蜂鸣器93和显示部92进行告知。此时,随着超过第一阈值的加速度数据的最大值变小,控制部101像从“噼——、噼——……”到“噼、噼……”那样缩短蜂鸣器93的发音周期即音长。
当用户等所进行的调整完成,任意一个最大值不超过与其对应的第一阈值时(S14:否),即当超过允许大小的箱体10倾斜的摆动已经平息时,控制部101使蜂鸣器93和显示部92停止告知(S15)。这时,控制部101也可以在使蜂鸣器93停止告知之前,使蜂鸣器93输出“劈”这样的比告知初期更长的音。然后,控制部101使驱动马达31停止而使洗涤脱水桶24停止(S6)。
另一方面,在S7中,在X轴方向和Z轴方向中的任一方向的加速度数据的最大值超过分别与其对应的第二阈值的情况下(S7:是),控制部101通过显示部92的剩余时间显示部92a进行通知,告知无法通过由调整腿17a实现的调 整等一般的调整来进行调整(S16)。如图6的(e)所示,剩余时间显示部92a中显示与无法调整的错误对应的错误代码。然后,控制部101使驱动马达31停止而使洗涤脱水桶24停止(S6)。需要说明的是,由剩余时间显示部92a显示的错误代码通过用户所进行的规定的取消操作而被删除。
这样,当洗涤脱水桶24停止时,设置模式的运转结束。
<实施方式的效果>
根据本实施方式,在设置模式的运转中,在检测出因全自动洗干一体机1的设置状态而导致的箱体10在洗涤脱水桶24旋转时的倾斜摆动且该摆动超过允许大小的情况下,通过蜂鸣器93进行告知。由此,用户等能掌握全自动洗干一体机1处于不稳定的设置状态,能进行调整以使其成为稳定的设置状态。
此外,根据本实施方式,在设置于箱体10的底面的四个腿部17当中,前侧的两个腿部17设置为可调整高度的调整腿17a。由此,在任何一个腿部17未触及设置面而使得全自动洗干一体机1处于不稳定的设置状态的情况下,通过调整作为调整腿17a的腿部17的高度,能容易地进行调整以使所有腿部17成为触及设置面的状态。
进而,根据本实施方式,在蜂鸣器93的告知开始之后洗涤脱水桶24仍继续旋转且检测出箱体10倾斜摆动,超过允许大小的摆动已经平息时停止告知。由此,进行了调整的用户等能容易地掌握已将全自动洗干一体机1调整为稳定的设置状态这一情况。
进而,根据本实施方式,在检测箱体10倾斜的摆动中使用加速度传感器80,并且加速度传感器80以加速度传感器80的相互正交的X轴方向和Z轴方向成为水平方向的方式装配于外桶20。而且,根据在洗涤脱水桶24的旋转中通过加速度传感器80检测出的作用于X轴方向的加速度和作用于Z轴方向的加速度,判定摆动时箱体10倾斜的方向,通过剩余时间显示部92a进行与箱体10倾斜的方向对应的告知。由此,用户等能在摆动时知道箱体10倾斜的方向,因而能掌握悬空的腿部17等成为不稳定的主要原因的位置,容易将全自动洗干一体机1调整为稳定的设置状态。
<变更例1>
图7是变更例1的全自动洗干一体机1的俯视剖视图。
在上述实施方式中,加速度传感器80装配于外桶20。相对于此,本变更例中,加速度传感器80装配于箱体10。例如,如图7所示,加速度传感器80装配于箱体10的右前角部的内侧。装配于箱体10的状态下的加速度传感器80的三个轴的方向与装配于外桶20的情况相同。
本变更例中,在设置模式的运转中,在使洗涤脱水桶24旋转并进行确认有无发生箱体10倾斜的摆动的控制处理之前,进行确认所设置的全自动洗干一体机1的箱体10有无倾斜的控制处理。
图8是表示变更例1的设置模式的运转的控制处理的流程图。图9的(a)至(d)是表示变更例1的箱体10的倾斜方向的告知的一例的图,图9的(e)是表示变更例1的无法调整的告知的一例的图。需要说明的是,图8中,省略了S1之后的处理。
以下,对在设置模式的运转中追加的控制处理进行说明。
当设置模式的运转开始时,控制部101从加速度传感器80获取X轴方向、Y轴方向以及X轴方向的加速度数据(S21)。此时的加速度数据为静止加速度即重力加速度的加速度数据,Y轴方向的加速度数据成为与箱体10相对于水平方向的倾斜角度相应的值,X轴方向和Z轴方向的加速度数据成为与箱体10的倾斜方向对应的值。因此,控制部101根据获取到的Y轴方向的加速度数据,求出箱体10的倾斜角度,根据获取到的X轴方向和Z轴方向的加速度数据,求出箱体10的倾斜方向(S22)。
控制部101判定求出的倾斜角度是否大于第一角度(S23)。第一角度是达到允许的倾斜角度的阈值的角度。如果全自动洗干一体机1大致水平地设置,倾斜角度不比第一角度大(S23:否),则控制部101移至S1,使洗涤脱水桶24旋转。
另一方面,如果倾斜角度大于第一角度(S23:是),则控制部101判定倾斜角度是否大于第二角度(S24)。第二角度是即使进行调整腿17a的调整也无法使倾斜角度达到第一角度以下的角度。
在倾斜角度不大于第二角度的情况下(S24:否),控制部101使蜂鸣器93 输出通知需要修正全自动洗干一体机1的倾斜的告知音(S25)。告知音例如可以是与S8中的告知音相同的音,即“噼——、噼——……”这样的间歇的蜂鸣音。进而,控制部101使显示部92的剩余时间显示部92a显示(S26)箱体10的倾斜方向。
在该告知中,如图9的(a)至(d)所示,使用了剩余时间显示部92a的两个七段LED。例如,箱体10的倾斜方向被分为前后左右四个方向。在S22中求出的箱体10的倾斜方向被包括在前方向中的情况下,如图9的(a)所示,两个七段LED点亮以表示箱体10的前侧,在箱体10的倾斜方向被包括在后方向中的情况下,如图9的(b)所示,两个七段LED点亮以表示箱体10的后侧。此外,在箱体10的倾斜方向被包括在左方向中的情况下,如图9的(c)所示,左侧的七段LED点亮以表示箱体10的左侧,在箱体10的倾斜方向被包括在右方向中的情况下,如图9的(d)所示,右侧的七段LED点亮以表示箱体10的右侧。通过这些剩余时间显示部92a中的显示,用户等能掌握箱体10的倾斜方向。用户等通过调整作为前侧的左右的调整腿17a的腿部17的高度,使得箱体10成为大致水平的状态。
控制部101获取Y轴方向的加速度数据(S27),求出箱体10的倾斜角度(S28),判定求出的倾斜角度是否大于第一角度(S29)。在用户等所进行的调整不充分而倾斜角度大于第一角度的期间(S29:是),控制部101重复S27至S29的处理。在此期间,继续由蜂鸣器93和显示部92进行告知。此时,随着超过第一角度的倾斜角度变小,控制部101像从“噼——、噼——……”到“噼、噼……”那样缩短蜂鸣器93的发音周期即音长。
当用户等所进行的调整完成,箱体10的倾斜角度变为第一角度以下时(S29:否),控制部101使蜂鸣器93和显示部92停止告知(S30)。这时,控制部101也可以在使蜂鸣器93停止告知之前,使蜂鸣器93输出“劈———”这样的比告知初期长的音。然后,控制部101移至S1,使洗涤脱水桶24旋转。
另一方面,在S24中,在倾斜角度大于第二角度的情况下(S24:是),控制部101通过显示部92的剩余时间显示部92a进行告知,通知无法通过由调整腿17a实现的调整等一般的调整来进行调整(S31)。如图9的(e)所示,剩余时间显示部92a中显示与无法调整的错误对应的错误代码。然后,控制部101 移至S1,使洗涤脱水桶24旋转。需要说明的是,由剩余时间显示部92a显示的错误代码通过用户所进行的规定的取消操作而被删除。
本变更例中,由于在箱体10装配有加速度传感器80,因此当随着洗涤脱水桶24的旋转而发生箱体10倾斜的摆动时,在加速度传感器80上,动加速度也作用于Y轴方向。因此,本变更例中,在S2至S5和S11至S14中,控制部101进行X轴方向、Y轴方向以及Z轴方向的加速度数据的采样,提取X轴方向的加速度数据的最大值、Y轴方向的加速度数据的最大值以及Z轴方向的加速度数据的最大值,判定任意一个最大值是否超过了与其对应的第一阈值。
根据本变更例,检测出全自动洗干一体机1安装后的状态下的箱体10的倾斜量,在该倾斜量超过允许的倾斜量的情况下由蜂鸣器93进行告知。由此,用户等能掌握箱体10处于倾斜状态,能通过调整作为调整腿17a的腿部17的高度等,消除箱体10的倾斜。
需要说明的是,本变更例中,蜂鸣器93相当于本发明的第三告知部。
<其他的变更例>
加速度传感器80装配于外桶20的装配位置不局限于上述实施方式的位置,加速度传感器80装配于箱体10的装配位置也不局限于上述变更例1的位置。总之,只要能检测箱体10倾斜的摆动,加速度传感器80既可以装配于外桶20或者箱体10的任何位置,也可以装配于外桶20和箱体10以外的部分。
此外,加速度传感器80装配于外桶20或者箱体10时的加速度传感器80的X轴方向、Y轴方向以及Z轴方向的朝向不局限于上述实施方式和上述变更例1的朝向。例如,如图10的(a)和(b)各自所示,加速度传感器80也可以以X轴方向为前后方向、Z轴方向为左右方向、Y轴方向为上下方向的方式装配于外桶20或箱体10。这种情况下,在图5所示的设置模式的运转的S9的处理中,控制部101在最初采样的Z轴方向和X轴方向的加速度数据分别取正值和负值的情况下,判定箱体10向右斜前方倾斜,同样地在Z轴方向和X轴方向的加速度数据都取负值的情况下,判定箱体10向左斜前方倾斜,同样地在Z轴方向和X轴方向的加速度数据分别取负值和正值的情况下,判定箱体10向左斜后方倾斜,同样地在Z轴方向和X轴方向的加速度数据都取正值的情况下, 判定箱体10向右斜后方倾斜。
进而,上述实施方式中,四个腿部17当中,前侧两个腿部17被作为调整腿17a。但是,只要至少一个腿部17被作为调整腿17a即可,例如,可以只将四个腿部17当中的一个作为调整腿17a,也可以将后侧两个腿部17作为调整腿17a,还可以将四个腿部17全部作为调整腿17a。此外,也可以不将四个腿部17中的任何一个作为调整腿17a。这种情况下,使用隔片等间隔件来调整腿部17的高度。
进而,上述实施方式中,通过加速度传感器80来检测洗涤脱水桶24旋转时的箱体10倾斜的摆动。但是,只要能检测上述摆动,也可以使用其他检测部,例如摆动传感器。
进而,上述实施方式中,在箱体10发生超过允许大小的倾斜摆动时通过蜂鸣器93所发出的蜂鸣音进行告知。但是,在发生上述摆动时,也可以由来自扬声器(未图示)的声音进行告知或通过显示部92中的显示进行告知。同样地,箱体10的倾斜量超过允许的倾斜量的情况下的告知也可以由来自扬声器的声音进行告知或通过显示部92中的显示进行告知。
进而,上述实施方式中,与摆动时箱体10的倾斜方向对应的通知通过显示部92的剩余时间显示部92a中的显示来进行。但是,该告知也可以由来自扬声器的声音来进行。同样地,与全自动洗干一体机1已安装的状态下的箱体10倾斜时的倾斜方向对应的告知也可以由来自扬声器的声音来进行。
进而,上述实施方式中,示出了将本发明应用于搭载了衣物的烘干功能的全自动洗干一体机1的例子。但是,本发明也能应用于没有搭载衣物的烘干功能的全自动洗衣机。此外,本发明也能应用于在外桶内配置有构成内桶的横轴型滚筒的滚筒式洗衣机和在滚筒式洗衣机中搭载了衣物的烘干功能的滚筒式洗干一体机。
除此之外,本发明的实施方式可以在技术方案所示的技术思想的范围内适当地进行各种变更。
