Hereinafter, with reference to Figure 22 and Figure 23 the control method according to cloth apparatus of the present invention is described.
Cloth apparatus can move under two mode of operations usually.A mode of operation is to carry out the original function of cloth apparatus, promptly carries out the clothes drying operation.Another mode of operation is to carry out the operation (being called for convenience's sake, " renovation operation " hereinafter) that is used to eliminate the fold on the clothes.Renovating operating period, the fold on eliminating clothes, also can carry out sterilization, deodorizing, preventing to produce static in the clothes clothes, and the clothes of shaking up.The control method that is used for drying operation generally includes hot-air supply step and cooling step.These steps are used equally in traditional cloth apparatus, therefore are not described in detail.The control method that is used to renovate operation will be described in detail steam supplied below particularly including steam supplied.
The cloth apparatus control method that is used to renovate operation comprises to the steam supplied (SS5) of cylinder supply steam with to the hot-air supply step (SS7) of cylinder supply hot-air.Preferably, carry out cylinder heating steps (SS3) before in steam supplied (SS5).In addition, the control method that is used for renovating operation also comprises to steam generator and supplying water to produce the water supply step (SS1) of the necessary steam of steam supplied (SS5).
Preferably, carry out water supply step (SS1) before at cylinder heating steps (SS3).In addition, preferably, also be included in the cooling step (SS9) of the chilling roll that hot-air supply step (SS7) carries out afterwards according to control method of the present invention.Preferably, also be included in the water (being the surplus water in the steam generator) that will remain in the steam generator that steam supplied (SS5) carries out afterwards according to control method of the present invention and be discharged to outside water agglomeration step.(will be described in detail this water agglomeration step hereinafter.) can utilize the additional heater that is installed in the cylinder that cylinder is heated; Yet, preferably only use hot air heater.
To control step to each now is described in detail.
Cylinder heating steps (SS3) is that cylinder is heated to predetermined temperature makes it possible to more effectively carry out the smoothing wrinkle of clothes in next step (being steam supplied (SS5)) step.Cylinder heating steps (SS3) is performed predetermined periods (T_pre-T_pump).At this moment, cylinder is rotated, and preferably is reversed.More preferably, cylinder is overturn off and on.Upset is to make cylinder with about 50rpm or lower speed rotation, so that clothes can not be attached to the inwall of cylinder.In the technical field of upset under the present invention is known, therefore is not described in detail.
Preferably, after the water supply of having carried out scheduled time slot (T_pump) to steam generator, the moment that the water level in steam generator arrives high water level begins cylinder heating steps (SS3).In addition, preferably, at the moment of beginning cylinder heating steps (SS3) operation steam heater.This is just to produce because steam moves back one period scheduled time at steam heater.
In addition, preferably, the termination of cylinder heating steps (SS3) is approximately consistent with the moment that steam produces.In fact, stopped cylinder heating steps (SS3) before preferably in steam is fed to cylinder.This be because, when continuously cylinder being heated, the internal temperature of cylinder excessively raises when the moment (promptly in steam supplied (SS5)) that produces at steam, the steam potential evaporation that the result is fed in the cylinder becomes gas.
Steam supplied (SS5) is to make the step that the smoothing wrinkle of clothes is mainly carried out to cylinder supply steam.Steam supplied (SS5) is performed scheduled time slot (T_steam).At this moment, cylinder is rotated, and preferably is reversed.More preferably, cylinder is overturn off and on.By pre-determining and set up the period (T_steam) that steam supplied (SS5) is performed based on test such as the factor of the amount of waiting to dry object.In steam supplied (SS5), the water level in the steam generator has reduced.Therefore, preferably when detecting low water level, supply water to steam generator.In this case, supply water to steam generator serially, up to detecting high water level.Yet preferably, the water level in steam generator carries out the scheduled time slot water supply in (for example about 3 seconds) to steam generator before arriving high water level, to improve the efficiency of heating surface.If the water level that supplies water in steam generator to steam generator arrives high water level, must a large amount of water be heated so.Therefore, the supply of steam is interrupted predetermined periods, and the supply that recovers steam after the water boiling.Yet when steam generator having been carried out the water supply in scheduled time slot (for example 3 seconds), steam produced in about 1 second.Therefore, can almost supply steam in the cylinder continuously.
In addition, preferably, for example repeat upset in the steam supplied (SS5) off and on and periodically in 3 seconds mode of about per minute.In steam supplied (SS5), cylinder can be overturn continuously.Yet, in this case, be fed to steam in the cylinder and can be discharged to the outside at once and do not stay in the cylinder.This is to be driven simultaneously by single-motor because of blower unit and cylinder, and therefore, when cylinder rotated, blower unit also moved, thereby steam is discharged outside the cylinder.Therefore, preferably in steam supplied (SS5), cylinder is rotated off and on, make the rotational time of cylinder less than the dwell time of cylinder.
In addition, what the present inventor carried out studies show that, the position of clothes changes during the cylinder rotation continuously in the cylinder, and when cylinder stopped, clothes was positioned at the anterior place approximately down of cylinder, promptly near the door.Yet the sprinkling direction of nozzle is difficult to change, and therefore, nozzle is fixed to the following front portion of pointing to cylinder.For this reason, preferably clothes is placed on the sprinkling direction of nozzle, promptly is placed on the following anterior place of cylinder.Therefore, preferably one short period of index drum rotation, make clothes can be placed on the sprinkling direction of nozzle, therefore, can be in clothes in steam supplied (SS5) with a large amount of vapor absorption.
Hot-air supply step (SS7) is to dry the step of the clothes of being got wet a little by steam once more to the cylinder supply hot-air that hot air heater produced.Hot-air supply step (SS7) is performed one section preset time (T_dry).At this moment, cylinder does not overturn.Equally by pre-determining and set up the period (T_dry) that hot-air supply step (SS7) is performed based on experiment such as the factor of the amount of object to be dried.Preferably, the water that will remain in the steam generator after hot-air supply step (SS7) finishes is discharged to a box.At this moment, the temperature height of the surplus water in the steam generator.Therefore, not at once the surplus water in the steam generator to be discharged to a box, but the discharge of surplus water in the steam generator is postponed scheduled time slot (T_delay).When the temperature in the steam generator was lower than predetermined temperature (Temp_crit), the surplus water in the steam generator was discharged to a box.(following these details are described.)
Cooling step (SS9) is the step that makes object cooling to be dried, and the temperature of object to be dried is supplied in the step (SS7) at hot-air and raise.Cooling step (SS9) is performed one section preset time (T_cooling).At this moment, cylinder does not overturn.Equally by pre-determining and set up the period (T_cooling) that cooling step (SS9) is performed based on experiment such as the factor of the amount of object to be dried.Though can be to cylinder supply cold air in cooling step (SS9), the temperature of object is not high relatively.Therefore, object is kept one section preset time of current former state, this is simple but preferred.
With reference to Figure 22 and Figure 23 the method for control pump is described hereinafter.
The pump in accordance with the present invention control method comprises: wait to be fed to the water supply step (S100 and S200) that the steam generator of the steam of cylinder supplies water to generation, and will remain in the water agglomeration step (S300) that the water in the steam generator gathers together.Certainly, water supply step (S100 and S200) preferably includes initial water supply step (S100) and keeps the water level of the water level in the steam generator to keep step (S200).On the other hand, preferably carry out water agglomeration step (S300) by pump.More preferably, water is gathered the detachable watering that is connected to steam generator.
Now each step is described in detail.
As mentioned above, water supply step (S100 and S200) preferably includes initial water supply step (S100) and keeps the water level of the water level in the steam generator to keep step (S200).Pump is along side's rotation clockwise, with supply water to steam generator (S1).When the water level in the steam generator arrived high water level (S3), pump stopped, and steam heater bring into operation (S5).
Along with the operation of steam heater, water is heated, to produce steam.Water in the steam generator reduces along with the discharge of the steam that is produced.Therefore, the water level in the steam generator is detected, and when the water level in the steam generator arrived low water level, pump was rotated in a clockwise direction, with supply water to steam generator (S9 and S11).At this moment, as previously mentioned, supply water to steam generator serially, until detecting high water level.Yet, preferably, steam generator carried out one period scheduled time (for example, about 3 seconds) water supply is to improve the efficiency of heating surface.
On the other hand, when the steam supply time (T_steam) of scheduled time slot when passing (S7), steam heater stops (S13), and postpones scheduled time slot (T_delay) (S15).The reason that postpones scheduled time slot (T_delay) is to make the temperature of the surplus water in the steam generator farthest to reduce.Subsequently, when the temperature in the steam generator is lower than safe temperature (Temp_crit) (S17), pump rotates scheduled time slot (for example, about 30 seconds) in the counterclockwise direction, to assemble remaining water (S25) from steam generator.Yet, when the temperature in the steam generator is higher than safe temperature (Temp_crit), does not directly assemble surplus water, but take safety measures from steam generator.For example, whether the water level in the steam generator is lower than high water level and is carried out definite (S19).When the water level in determining steam generator was lower than high water level, pump was rotated in a clockwise direction scheduled time slot (for example, about 5 seconds), with supply water again to steam generator (S21).On the other hand, when the water level in determining steam generator was not less than high water level, the temperature in the steam generator was compared (S23) with safe temperature (Temp_crit).When the temperature in the steam generator is lower than safe temperature (Temp_crit) (S23), pump rotates scheduled time slot (for example, about 30 seconds) in the counterclockwise direction, to assemble surplus water (S25) from steam generator.On the other hand, when the temperature in the steam generator was higher than safe temperature (Temp_crit), this process finished, and pump does not rotate from steam generator in the counterclockwise direction assembles surplus water (S27).Certainly, after having postponed scheduled time slot, the temperature in the steam generator can compare with safe temperature, and when having satisfied above-mentioned requirements, can assemble surplus water from steam generator.Here, safe temperature (Temp_crit) is meant the maintained maximum temperature of reliability of pump.For example, safe temperature is about 60 degree.
It all is illustrative examples that Figure 22 and water supply time (T_pump) shown in Figure 23, steam produce time (T_pre), steam supply time (T_steam), drying time (T_dry), cool time (T_cooling), time delay (T_delay), flip-flop transition and pump operation time, and above-mentioned special time can suitably change according to the amount of the capacity of cloth apparatus or object to be dried.
Hereinafter, will be described another embodiment of cloth apparatus control method according to the present invention with reference to Figure 24.
This embodiment is identical with previous embodiment on basic principle; Yet, provide this embodiment more effectively to carry out the generation of steam.
Steam is fed to (SS5) in the cylinder in steam supplied.Yet,, also need to make the required time of water boiling even when steam generator moves.For this reason, steam does not produce at once.Move steam generator before it is therefore preferable that in steam is fed to cylinder.Yet for the sake of security, preferably, the heater of operation steam generator when the water level in steam generator arrives low water level.
On the other hand, the moment (promptly beginning the moment of the operation of hot air heater) of beginning cylinder heating steps (SS3) can be after the operation of steam generator.Yet consider the thermal capacity of the water in the steam generator, preferably, move hot air heater when the water level in steam generator arrives high water level or when the heater of steam generator is opened.
At this moment, hot air heater can the rated capacity operation.Yet preferably, hot air heater is with the capacity operation less than rated capacity.For example, when the rated capacity of hot air heater was 5400W, preferably, hot air heater was with only about half of (being 2700W) operation of rated capacity.This is because therefore the also operation in cylinder heating steps (SS3) of the heater of steam generator, when hot air heater moves with rated capacity, needs to increase the general power that offers cloth apparatus.
Simultaneously, water supply step (SS1), i.e. water supply to steam generator stops when the water level in steam generator arrives high water level usually.Yet, preferably after the beginning of supplying water, promptly after the operation of pump begins,, execute one section preset time of next step (for example, 90 seconds) no matter whether the water level in the steam generator arrives high water level.This be because, when since steam generator detect high water level unusually and not the time, the water in the steam generator overflows in cylinder.It is therefore preferable that and after scheduled time slot passes, carry out next step.
In addition, cylinder heating steps (SS3) stops when steam generator produces steam usually.Yet (for example, 5 minutes) execute next step afterwards preferably, at the fixed time.This is because though the unusual possibility of hot air heater is very low usually, for the sake of security, preferably carry out afterwards next step at the fixed time.Simultaneously, be difficult to determine whether steam generator has produced steam.It is therefore preferable that before cylinder heating steps (SS3) is in steam is fed to cylinder and stopped.
The experimental result that the present inventor carried out shows that renovation operation according to the present invention has the effect of eliminating and preventing the fold on the clothes, though this effect there are differences according to the garment type (for example type of clothing materials) and the wettability of clothes.The example of object to be dried can be the clothing of being crossed by the washing machine rotary dehydration.Yet this object is not limited to clothing.For example, when eliminating the fold of having worn on about one day clothes, promptly eliminate and dried and a little during the fold on the clothes of fold, the present invention is particularly useful by cloth apparatus according to the present invention.In other words, cloth apparatus according to the present invention can be used as a kind of fold cancellation element.
Hereinafter, with reference to Figure 25 the another embodiment of cloth apparatus control method according to the present invention is described.
As previously mentioned, renovation operation according to the present invention has the effect of eliminating fold from clothes.In addition, what the present inventor carried out studies show that, the renovation operation has the effect of to a certain extent clothes being carried out sterilization and shaking up.The operation that is used to carry out the cloth apparatus of this function consists essentially of steam supplied and hot-air supply step (baking step).Yet, preferably suitably change steam supply time and hot-air supply time according to purpose.
Steam supply time when for example, clothes being carried out sterilization and hot-air supply time are preferably long than steam supply time and hot-air supply time when eliminating fold from clothes.Steam supply time when on the other hand, shaking up clothes and hot-air supply time preferably steam supply time and the hot-air supply time when eliminating fold from clothes are short.Consider the amount of clothes, can come suitably to determine Best Times based on test.
Cloth apparatus and control method thereof with above-mentioned structure have following effect.
At first, the present invention has and effectively prevents or eliminate pleat on the object to be dried that has dewatered The effect of wrinkle or fold. In addition, the present invention has the effect of object being carried out sterilization and deodorizing.
Secondly, the present invention has the fold effectively eliminated on the drying clothes or fold and need not The effect of flatiron.
Be apparent that for those of ordinary skills, do not deviating from spirit of the present invention or model In the situation of enclosing, can make in the present invention various modifications and variations. Therefore, the present invention covers Modifications and variations of the present invention, as long as these modifications and variations drop on claim and are equal to In the scope of thing.
