技术领域

背景技术
随着生活水平的提高，人们对衣物处理的要求也在不断的提高，仅通过洗衣机、熨斗等对衣物进行处理已经不能满足人们的需求。一种利用蒸汽对衣物进行护理的衣物护理机应运而生。衣物护理机通常包括护理箱体以及蒸汽发生器，蒸汽发生器产生的蒸汽通入到护理箱体内，对护理箱体内的衣物进行护理。其中，蒸汽发生器通常包括锅炉以及加热器，加热器加热锅炉内的水产生蒸汽。锅炉内通常设置有水位检测传感器检测水位高度。
现有衣物护理机的锅炉内一般采用浮球式液位计，浮球式液位计包括浮球和滑杆，浮球套装在滑杆上。在锅炉内的水位变化时，浮球随着水位沿滑杆上下移动。浮球的磁铁对滑杆内的干簧管产生磁性吸合，把液面位置变化转换成电信号。
但是，由于浮球和滑杆均浸没在锅炉内的水中，在锅炉加热水后，不可避免产生水垢，水垢沉淀在浮球内孔和滑杆表面，导致浮球与滑杆之间的摩擦力增大，使得浮球滑动受阻，甚至出现卡死的情况，导致水位检测不准甚至失效，进而导致衣物护理机不能正常工作。

具体实施方式
现有衣物护理机的锅炉内一般采用浮球式液位计，但是由于浮球和滑杆 均浸没在锅炉内的水中，在锅炉加热水后，不可避免产生水垢，水垢沉淀在浮球内孔和滑杆表面，导致浮球与滑杆之间的摩擦力增大，使得浮球滑动受阻，甚至出现卡死的情况，导致水位检测不准甚至失效，进而导致衣物护理机不能正常工作。
有鉴于此，本申请提供一种衣物护理机，其采用电容式液位计监测锅炉内的水位，在一实施例中，锅炉内绝缘安装一电容极体，锅炉与电容极体形成电容，控制电路板上设置电容检测芯片检测锅炉与电容极体之间的电容量，控制电路板上的处理器根据电容量控制供水泵的开启和闭合，也就是说，处理器根据锅炉和电容极体之间的电容量判断锅炉内是否缺水，进而控制供水泵是否进行供水，结构简单，且由于水垢相对水的介电常数较小，对锅炉检测影响很小，能够克服锅炉水垢对水位检测结果的影响，提高检测可靠性。
下面详细描述本申请的实施例，所述实施例的示例在附图中示出，其中自始至终相同或类似的标号表示相同或类似的元件或具有相同或类似功能的元件。下面通过参考附图描述的实施例是示例性的，旨在用于解释本申请，而不能理解为对本申请的限制。
参照图1至图5，本申请实施例提供一种衣物护理机，其包括：电容极体31、锅炉2、供水机构4以及控制电路板5；电容极体31绝缘固定在锅炉2内，且电容极体31与锅炉2均导电；供水机构4与锅炉2连通；控制电路板5上集成有电容检测芯片51和处理器52，电容检测芯片51分别与电容极体31、锅炉2电连接，电容检测芯片51用于检测电容极体31和锅炉2之间的电容量并发送给处理器52，以使处理器52根据电容量控制供水机构4的工作状态。
其中，电容极体31可以是片结构，电容极体31也可以是板结构，电容极体31还可以是柱状结构，在此对电容极体31的具体形状不做限定。电容极体31可以导电，例如，电容极体31可以是金属件，再例如，电容极体31也可以是半导体件，在本申请实施例中，电容极体31为金属柱。电容极体31的绝缘固定在锅炉2内，也就是说，电容极体31与锅炉2固定连接，且电容极体31与锅炉2绝缘不导电；并且，电容极体31位于锅炉2内部。
锅炉2作为产生蒸汽的容器，其内部用于容纳净水。锅炉2可以是圆柱形容器，锅炉还可以是矩形容器，本申请在此对锅炉2的具体形状不做限定， 本领域技术人员可以根据实际安装空间进行设置。锅炉2可以导电，例如，锅炉2可以采用金属制成，再例如，锅炉2也可以采用半导体制成，在本申请实施例中，锅炉2为金属炉体。
锅炉2上设置有进水口22，供水机构4与进水口22连通，供水机构4通过进水口22向锅炉2内注入净水，以产生水蒸汽。
控制电路板5上集成有电容检测芯片51和处理器52，电容检测芯片51分别与电容极体31、锅炉2电连接。如此，电容极体31和锅炉2形成电容的两个电极，且锅炉2内的介质为电容两个电极之间的介质。电容检测芯片51用于检测电容极体31和锅炉2的电容量。
当锅炉2内没有水或者水量较少时，电容极体31和锅炉2之间为空气，由于空气的介电常数较小，此时，电容检测芯片51检测的电容极体31和锅炉2之间的电容量较大。当锅炉2内注入一定量的水时，电容极体31和锅炉2之间为水，由于水的介电常数较大，此时，电容检测芯片51检测的电容极体31和锅炉2之间的电容量较小。
在处理器52接收到电容检测芯片51检测的电容量时，处理器52比较接收到的电容量与预先存储在电容量阈值，若接收到的电容量小于电容量阈值，则说明锅炉2中具有一定量的水，此时无需向锅炉2内注入水；而在接收到的电容量大于电容量阈值时，说明锅炉2中没有水，此时需要向锅炉2中注入水；则处理器52控制供水机构4开启，以向锅炉2内注入水。
由此，本申请实施例提供的衣物护理机，在锅炉2内绝缘固定一电容极体31，锅炉2和电容极体31分别与控制电路板5上集成的电容检测芯片51电连接，如此，锅炉2和电容极体31形成电容器件，电容检测芯片51检测该电容器件的电容量，并发送给控制电路板51上集成的处理器52，处理器52根据电容检测芯片51检测的电容量控制供水机构4的工作状态，在一实施例中，处理器52在电容检测芯片51检测的电容量高于电容量阈值时控制供水机构4向锅炉2内注入水。本申请实施例的衣物护理机结构简单，且水垢相对水的介电常数较小，对锅炉2和电容极体31的电容量影响较小，不会造成对水位检测结果造成实质性的影响，使得本申请实施例的衣物护理机工作状态更加稳定可靠。
在一实施例中，在锅炉2的顶端设置有安装口21，电容极体31绝缘安 装在安装口21上。如图4所示，锅炉2为矩形储水容器，在锅炉2的顶端设置安装口21，一方面锅炉2的顶端为水平面，方便安装；另一方面，为防止锅炉2内的水沸腾溢出，锅炉2内的水距离顶面具有一定间隔，在顶面设置安装口21可以降低密封性能，有利于简化结构。并且，电容极体31绝缘安装在安装口21上，连接简单方便。
其中，电容极体31绝缘连接的方式可以有多种，例如，电容极体31的外侧设置有绝缘套，绝缘套与安装口21固定连接；再例如，电容极体31和安装口21之间通过绝缘胶粘接，连接方式简单可靠。
在一种可能的实现方式中，电容极体31通过一连接座32绝缘安装在安装口21上。在一实施例中，本实现方式的衣物护理机还包括连接座32和第一线缆53，连接座32设置有穿线通道321；连接座32的一端绝缘安装在安装口21上，连接座32的另一端与电容极体31固定连接；第一线缆53的一端与电容极体31电连接，第一线缆53的另一端穿过穿线通道321与电容检测芯片52电连接。
其中，连接座32可以采用绝缘材质制成，例如，连接座32可以采用耐高温塑胶或者橡胶等非金属材料制成，如此，连接座32的顶端可以直接与安装口21固定连接，而无需额外设置绝缘连接结构，如此，有利于降低简化锅炉2的安装结构。
连接座32可以为圆柱状结构，其中心设置有穿线通道321，以使第一线缆53可以穿过。连接座32的顶端与安装口21固定连接，例如，连接座32的顶端与安装口21过盈连接，再例如，连接座32的顶端与安装口21粘接；又例如，参照图4，连接座32与安装口21螺纹连接，即，连接座32的顶端设置有外螺纹，而安装口21设置有内螺纹，连接座32的外螺纹与安装口21的内螺纹螺纹连接，实现连接座32与安装口21的固定连接，连接方式简单可靠稳定。
为了提高安装口21内螺纹的长度，提高连接座32与安装口21连接的稳定性，在锅炉2的顶壁设置一开口，在开口的外侧设置有一凸台，凸台设置有与开口同轴的通孔，此时，通孔和开口形成安装口21，也就是说，在锅炉2的顶壁的局部设置一凸台，而安装口21设置在该凸台处，如此有利于提高安装口21的长度，从而可以提高连接座32与安装口21螺纹连接的长度，进 而连接座32与安装口21连接的可靠性和稳定性。
连接座32的底端与电容极体31固定连接，例如，连接座32的底端与电容极体31通过螺钉固定连接，再例如，连接座32的底端与电容极体31卡接，又例如，连接座32的底端与电容极体31螺纹连接，在一实施例中，穿线通道321的底端设置有内螺纹，电容极体31的顶端设置有外螺纹，电容极体31与穿线通道321螺纹连接，连接方式简单可靠，且电容极体31的至少部分结构暴露于穿线通道321内，如此有利于第一线缆53与电容极体31电连接。
本实现方式通过设置连接座32使得电容极体31固定在锅炉2上，结构简单，连接方式可靠，并且，通过设置连接座32的长度即可限定电容极体31在锅炉2内的位置，结构简单，方便更换。
此外，本实现方式中，电容极体31通过第一线缆53与电容检测芯片51电连接，如此，控制电路板5可以安装在任意位置，提高控制电路板5安装的灵活性。控制电路板5可以安装在远离锅炉2的位置，避免锅炉2的高温影响控制电路板5的性能。
本申请实施例中，锅炉2与电容检测芯片51电连接，在一实施例中，衣物护理机还包括第二线缆54，第二线缆54的一端与锅炉2电连接，第二电缆54的另一端与电容检测芯片51电连接，如此，可以提高控制电路板5安装位置的灵活性。
为了实现锅炉2与第二线缆54的电连接，衣物护理机还包括电容极片25，电容极片25的一端与锅炉2固定连接，电容极片25的另一端与第二线缆54连接。例如，电容极片25的一端焊接在锅炉2的外侧，电容极片25的另一端设置有接线孔，以使第二线缆54固定在该接线孔内。此时，电容极片25位于锅炉2的外侧，易接触其他器件导致电容检测失误。
为此，本申请实施例的电容极片25设置有安装孔，如此，电容极片25可以套设在连接座32的外侧；继续参照图4，在连接座32一端的外侧设置有限位环322，也就是说，在连接座32的顶端设置一限位环322，限位环322的外径大于连接座32的外径。在连接座32与安装口21螺纹连接时电容极片25被夹设在限位环322和锅炉2侧壁之间。也就是说，当连接座32与安装口21螺纹连接时，电容极片25被压紧在限位环322和锅炉2的顶壁之间， 连接方式简单可靠，无需另外设置电容极片25的固定结构，有利于简化锅炉2的结构，而在本申请应用于相关技术中的锅炉时，无需更改现有锅炉的结构，只需设置一安装口21即可同时安装电容极体31和电容极片25，有利于降低成本。
此时，电容极体31和电容极片25之间形成电容器件，电容检测芯片51检测电容极体31和电容极片25之间的电容。
继续参照图2和图3，在一些实施例中，供水机构4包括供水管43、供水泵42以及净水箱41，供水泵42的进水端与净水箱41连通，供水泵42的出水端通过供水管43与锅炉2连通；处理器52与供水泵42电连接，处理器52能够根据电容量控制供水泵42的工作状态。
其中，净水箱41用于存储净水，其可以是任意形状的储水容器，例如，圆柱状、矩形状等，本领域技术人员可以根据实际安装空间设置净水箱41的形状。
供水泵42可以为现有的水泵，用于将净水箱41内的水抽至锅炉2内。供水管43可以是现有的金属管、塑料管等。
供水泵42的进水端与净水箱41连通，例如，净水箱41设置有出水口，供水泵42的进水端通过管道与净水箱41上的出水口连通。供水泵42的出水端与锅炉2连通，锅炉2的侧壁设置有进水口22，供水管43的两端分别与进水口22、供水泵42的出水端连通。
本实施例中，处理器52与供水泵42电连接，处理器52根据电容检测芯片51检测的电容极体31和电容极片25的电容量控制供水泵42的工作状态。在一实施例中，在锅炉2内没有水或者水位降低时，锅炉2与电容极体31之间为空气，处理器52确定电容极体31和电容极片25的电容量高于电容阈值，处理器52控制供水泵42开启，供水泵42将净水箱41内的水通过供水管43排入锅炉2内，保证锅炉2内的水处于预设水位，提高衣物护理机工作状态的稳定性。

其中，电加热管26可以是现有的管状电热元件，其可以安装在锅炉2的 底端的外侧，此时，锅炉2为金属炉体，电加热管26通过锅炉2传热进而加热锅炉2内的水，产生水蒸汽。或者，电加热管26安装在锅炉2内，例如，电加热管26通过安装法兰、安装座等密封安装在锅炉2内，此时，店集热管26直接加热锅炉2内的水而产生水蒸汽。
本实施例的电加热管26与处理器52电连接，处理器52在判断电容极体31和电容极片25的电容低于电容阈值时，也就是说，在锅炉2内的水在预设水位以上时，处理器52控制电加热管26开启而加热锅炉2内的水，以产生水蒸汽，对衣物进行蒸汽护理。
在本申请实施例中锅炉2为金属炉体，为了避免锅炉2与衣物护理机的其他金属器件连接而影响电容检测，锅炉2的外侧设置有固定壁24，即，在锅炉2的外侧固定一平板状的固定结构，用于支撑锅炉2。并且，本实施例的衣物护理机还包括支撑组件6，支撑组件6与固定壁24绝缘连接。也就是说，通过支撑组件6与固定壁24绝缘连接，将锅炉2悬置安装，避免锅炉2与其他金属器件接触而影响电容检测。
在一种可选的实现方式中，支撑组件6设置有多个，且支撑组件6沿固定壁24的周向间隔设置。其中，固定壁24沿着锅炉2的周向间隔设置，或者，沿着锅炉2的周向间隔设置多个固定壁24。如此，支撑组件6沿着固定壁24的周向间隔设置，如此使得锅炉2具有多个支撑位置，有利于提高锅炉2安装的稳定性。示例性的，在锅炉2的左右两侧分别设置一固定壁24，左右两侧的固定壁24分别绝缘连接一支撑组件6；再例如，在矩形的锅炉2的四个侧面分别设置固定壁24，如此在矩形的锅炉2的四个侧面分别连接一支撑组件6，提高锅炉2安装的可靠性。

绝缘支座62采用非金属的绝缘材质制成，例如，绝缘支座62采用橡胶制成。绝缘支座62为台阶结构，在一实施例中，绝缘支座62包括圆柱状的支撑台621和圆柱状的连接柱622，且连接柱622和支撑台621同轴，连接柱622的外径小于支撑台621的外径，如此在支撑台621的顶面形成支撑面。并且，过孔623贯穿连接柱622和支撑台621，并且，过孔623的直径小于支撑柱61的外径，如此，支撑台621可以安装在支撑柱61的顶端。
固定壁24上设置有固定孔，如此，连接柱622可以穿设在固定孔内，且连接柱622的顶端端面与固定壁24的顶面平齐，如此，连接柱622的顶端端面与固定壁24的顶面形成安装面，在该安装面上安装有绝缘垫片63。绝缘垫片63不导电，且绝缘垫片63设置有中间孔。
如此，螺钉64穿过绝缘垫片63的中间孔、绝缘支座62的过孔623与支撑柱61的螺纹孔611螺纹连接，从而实现固定壁24与支撑柱61的绝缘连接，结构简单，连接可靠。
继续参照图1和图2，本申请的衣物护理机还包括机壳11以及位于机壳11内的内胆12，内胆12和机壳11的底部形成安装空间14，安装空间14内安装有锅炉2、控制电路板5以及供水机构4；锅炉2设置有蒸汽出口23，蒸汽出口23与内胆12之间设置有蒸汽管道。
其中，机壳11和内胆12均为前侧开口的壳体结构，机壳11位于内胆12的外侧，用于保护内胆12，内胆12内具有容纳衣物的空间，内胆12内侧防水。在内胆12和机壳11的外侧安装有门体13，门体13可以打开或者关闭，门体13与内胆12形成护理空间。在内胆12的顶部设置有挂衣杆121，用于挂设衣物122。锅炉2的顶壁设置有蒸汽出口23，蒸汽出口23与内胆12之间设置蒸汽管道，以将锅炉2产生的蒸汽通入到内胆12中，对衣物122进行护理。
在机壳11和内胆12的底部形成安装空间14，为锅炉2、控制电路板5以及供水机构4提供安装位置，一方面可以保护这些结构，另一方面还可以避免这些结构外露影响衣物护理机的美观性。
在一种可能的实施例中，衣物护理机还包括安装在安装空间14内的废水排出机构7，以将内胆12中的废水排出外内胆12外侧。其中，废水排出机 构7包括废水管71、废水泵72以及废水箱73；废水管71的一端与内胆12的废水槽连通，废水管71的另一端与废水泵72的进水端连通，废水泵72的出水端与废水箱73连通。
其中，内胆12内设置有废水槽，以使废水汇聚。废水管71的一端与废水槽连通，废水管71的另一端与废水泵72的进水端连通，并且，废水泵72的出水端与废水箱73连通，如此，废水泵72将内胆12中的废水抽吸至废水箱73中存储，避免废水外溢影响用户体验度。
综上所述，本申请实施例提供的衣物护理机至少具有以下优点：
1、本申请实施例提供的电容极体31和电容极片25均为固定部件，无运动部件，避免因运动配合面产生水垢而导致水位检测失效的情况，提高检测的准确度，有利于提高产品使用寿命。
2、由于水垢的介电常数与水的介电常数相差很大，对电容检测的影响很小，本申请的电容极体31和电容极片25能够克服锅炉2内表面结构的不利情况，不需要刻意限制使用纯净水，有利于节约资源，提高用户体验度，拓展了衣物护理机的适用性。
3、本申请的电容极体31和电容极片25结构简单，安装紧凑，方便拆换，维修方便，成本低。
4、本申请的电容检测芯片51和处理器52集成在控制电路板5上，且控制电路板5安装在锅炉2外侧，控制电路板5远离锅炉2，避免锅炉2的高温影响控制电路板5及其上集成的电子器件。
在以上描述中，参考术语“一个实施例”、“一些实施例”、“示例”、“具体示例”、或“一些示例”等的描述意指结合该实施例或示例描述的具体特征、结构、材料或者特点包含于本申请的至少一个实施例或示例中。在本说明书中，对上述术语的示意性表述不必须针对的是相同的实施例或示例。而且，描述的具体特征、结构、材料或者特点可以在任一个或多个实施例或示例中以合适的方式结合。此外，在不相互矛盾的情况下，本领域的技术人员可以将本说明书中描述的不同实施例或示例以及不同实施例或示例的特征进行结合和组合。
最后应说明的是：以上各实施例仅用以说明本申请的技术方案，而非对其限制；尽管参照前述各实施例对本申请进行了详细的说明，本领域的普通 技术人员应当理解：其依然可以对前述各实施例所记载的技术方案进行修改，或者对其中部分或者全部技术特征进行等同替换；而这些修改或者替换，并不使相应技术方案的本质脱离本申请各实施例技术方案的范围。
