Detailed Description
In the following description, for purposes of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth such as particular system structures, techniques, etc. in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and devices are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.
The following describes in detail embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, not limitation.
One embodiment of the present invention provides a control device for a dishwasher, as shown in fig. 1 to 5, the control device including:
a rotation speed detection device 3 configured to detect a rotation speed of the spray arm 1 of the dishwasher;
the magnet 2 is arranged on the spray arm 1;
a magnetic field generating device 4 configured to generate a magnetic field into which the magnet 2 enters to obtain a thrust force that facilitates rotation of the spray arm 1; and
a processor 5 configured to:
acquiring a rotating speed;
determining that the rotating speed is lower than a preset rotating speed;
the magnetic field generating device 4 is controlled to generate a magnetic field.
The dishwasher in the embodiment of the application is provided with the spray arm 1, the spray arm 1 rotates and sprays water in the process of implementing the dish washing function of the dishwasher, and tableware to be washed is washed, so that the tableware is washed; still be equipped with controlling means among this dish washer, this controlling means can detect the rotation speed of spray arm 1 to promote spray arm 1 rotatory when the rotation speed of spray arm 1 is less than the predetermined rotational speed, avoid dish washer because of spray arm 1 rotation speed descends to lead to it to wash inhomogeneously, and then avoid dish washer's cleaning performance to reduce. In particular, the control means comprise a rotation speed detection device 3, a magnet 2, a magnetic field generation device 4, a processor 5 and optionally a memory. The rotation speed detection device 3, the magnetic field generation device 4, and the memory may be electrically connected to the processor 5. The magnet 2 may be provided at the end of the spray arm 1, and the rotation speed detecting device 3 may be provided at the inner peripheral wall of the dishwasher for detecting the rotation speed of the spray arm 1. The magnetic field generating device 4 may generate a magnetic field that when the magnet 2 located on the spray arm 1 is rotated into the generated magnetic field, a boosting force provided by the magnetic field is obtained to facilitate the rotation of the spray arm 1. The rotating speed detection device 3 detects and acquires the rotating speed of the spraying arm 1 of the dish washing machine and then transmits the rotating speed value to the processor 5, the processor 5 can compare the acquired rotating speed with the preset rotating speed, and according to the comparison result, if the detected rotating speed of the spraying arm 1 is higher than or equal to the preset rotating speed, the spraying arm 1 rotates smoothly, the washing effect of the dish washing machine can be ensured, and the processor 5 does not need to control the magnetic field generation device 4; if the detected rotating speed of the spray arm 1 is lower than the preset rotating speed, it is shown that the rotation of the spray arm 1 is blocked at the moment, the cleaning effect of the dish-washing machine is reduced, the processor 5 needs to control the magnetic field generating device 4, so that the magnetic field generating device 4 generates a magnetic field with the same polarity as the magnet 2, according to the principle that like poles repel each other, the spray arm 1 with the magnet 2 can be repelled by the magnetic field to apply thrust after entering the magnetic field, the spray arm 1 can accelerate the rotating speed under the action of the thrust, and the cleaning effect of the dish-washing machine is improved. The preset rotational speed may be stored in the processor 5 or alternatively in a memory for retrieval by the processor 5. The control device is simple in structure and easy to control, and can effectively solve the problem that the cleaning effect of the dish-washing machine is reduced due to the fact that the rotation of the spray arm 1 is blocked and the rotating speed is reduced.
In the embodiment of the present application, the processor 5 is further configured to:
the strength of the generated magnetic field is determined from the rotational speed.
It can be understood that the dishwasher can achieve the optimal cleaning effect when the spray arm 1 rotates at the expected rotating speed, if the rotating speed of the spray arm 1 during actual working is lower, the difference between the rotating speed and the expected rotating speed is larger, and at the moment, the magnetic field generating device 4 should generate a magnetic field with stronger magnetic field intensity to apply thrust to the spray arm 1 to improve the rotating speed; conversely, if the difference between the rotating speed of the spray arm 1 during actual operation and the expected rotating speed is smaller, the magnetic field generating device 4 may generate a magnetic field with relatively weak magnetic field strength to apply thrust to the spray arm 1 to raise the rotating speed. In order to achieve the desired rotational speed, the spray arm 1 is rotated at different rotational speeds, and correspondingly different magnetic fields exert thrust on the spray arm. The memory is prestored with corresponding relation data of the rotating speed and the magnetic field intensity of the spray arm 1, the processor 5 is used for calling out corresponding magnetic field intensity data according to the detected rotating speed, and sending a control instruction to the magnetic field generating equipment 4 according to the called out magnetic field intensity data to enable the magnetic field generating equipment to generate corresponding magnetic field intensity.
In the embodiment of the present application, the processor 5 is further configured to:
and gradually increasing the magnetic field intensity until the rotating speed reaches a desired rotating speed, wherein the desired rotating speed is greater than or equal to the preset rotating speed.
When the magnetic field is required to be opened to accelerate the spray arm 1, the mode of gradually increasing the magnetic field intensity can be adopted, the condition that the dishwasher has potential unexpected faults due to the fact that the magnetic field intensity of the magnetic field generating equipment 4 is increased rapidly is avoided, and the processor 5 can control the magnetic field generating equipment 4 to gradually increase the magnetic field intensity in a slow-advancing mode until the expected rotating speed is reached, and the generation of the magnetic field is stopped.
In the embodiment of the present application, the rotation speed detection device 3 includes at least one of a hall sensor and a proximity switch, that is, the hall sensor or the proximity switch is disposed in the dishwasher to detect the position of the spray arm 1, and acquire the rotation speed of the spray arm 1. The rotation speed detecting device 3 is preferably a unipolar hall sensor in this embodiment because the hall sensor has advantages of high sensitivity, small size, and the like, and a hall sensing surface of the hall sensor faces the magnet 2 (e.g., S pole shown in the figure) and forms a hall sensing range S1 having an operating point and a release point.
When the magnet 2 on the spray arm 1 rotates to the position near the Hall sensor and reaches an action point, the Hall sensor outputs a low level; when the magnet 2 on the spray arm 1 moves away from the hall sensor and reaches the release point, the hall sensor outputs a high level. In addition, the number of the hall sensors may correspond to the number of the magnets 2, and in this embodiment, the number of the magnets 2 may be 2, so that the number of the hall sensors is also 2, and the final output pulse signal of the hall sensors is as shown in fig. 4, where T1 is the time when the magnet 2 passes through the hall sensing range S1 when the shower arm 1 rotates, that is, the time when the rotation speed detection device 3 outputs a low level; t2 is the time of the half rotation of the spray arm 1, and the range of the half rotation of the spray arm 1 is S2, so that the rotation speed V of the spray arm 1 becomes S1/T1 or S2/T2.
In an embodiment of the present application, the processor 5 is further configured to:
determining the position of the spray arm 1 according to the rotating speed signal obtained from the rotating speed detection device 3;
and controlling the magnetic field generating device 4 to generate a magnetic field under the condition that the spray arm 1 is determined to enter a preset position in the magnetic field.
It will be appreciated that the speed detection device 3 has a working range when in the working state, and when the spray arm 1 with the magnet 2 rotates into the working range, the speed detection device 3 can detect the rotation speed and send a corresponding speed signal to the processor 5. The processor 5 may determine the rotational speed of the spray arm 1 from the received rotational speed signal. In addition, the processor 5 may also determine (or estimate) the position of the spray arm based on the rotational speed signal and the rotational speed of the spray arm. Specifically, when the spray arm 1 approaches the rotation speed detection device 3, the rotation speed detection device 3 generates a rotation speed signal (e.g., a high level signal) in response to the approach of the spray arm 1. The processor 5, upon receiving the rotational speed signal, may determine the current position of the spray arm 1. In addition, processor 5 may also determine the rotational speed of spray arm 1 based on the frequency of the received rotational speed signal (i.e., the number of rotational speed signals per unit time), knowing the rotational speed and the position of spray arm 1 at a time (e.g., the time at which rotational speed signal generation by rotational speed detection device 3 is triggered), processor 5 may determine or estimate the position of spray arm 1 after that time.
The determination or estimation of the position of the spray arm 1 during the rotation is advantageous for the adjustment of the magnetic field generating device 4.
In one example, the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generating device 4 may have a field strength range, and the field strength range that can affect the rotational speed of the spray arm 1 may be defined as an operating range. In order to save power consumption, it is desirable that the magnetic field generating device 4 is turned on to generate a magnetic field when the spray arm 1 is rotated to the operating range, and the magnetic field generating device 4 stops operating outside the operating range. Thus, a predetermined position may be set, which may be a predetermined position in the magnetic field (or working range). As described above, the processor 5 may determine or estimate the moment at which the spray arm 1 enters the predetermined position, and in this case, in the case where the spray arm 1 is rotated to the predetermined position, control the magnetic field emission device 4 to generate the magnetic field to urge the spray arm 1 to rotate. In one example, the processor 5 may control the magnetic field emission device 4 by way of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). Furthermore, the processor 5 may also determine the moment (or actual period) at which the magnetic field generating device 4 stops generating the magnetic field from the determination or estimation of the position of the spray arm 1.
In one embodiment, the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generating device 4 is at an angle to the spray arm 1 entering the magnetic field range, i.e., the center line of the magnetic field forms an angle with the spray arm 1. In this case, the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generating device 4 may be divided into two regions, a first half region that enters first and a second half region that enters later when the spray arm 1 rotates. It should be noted here that the first half area and the second half area are not necessarily equally divided. In one example, the first half area may be larger than the second half area. In another example, the first half area may be smaller than the second half area. When the spray arm 1 rotates to enter the first half area, the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generating device 4 is applied to the spray arm 1 (for example, a magnet at the end of the spray arm 1) to generate a reverse thrust which hinders the rotation of the spray arm 1, and when the spray arm 1 enters the second half area, a forward thrust which promotes the rotation of the spray arm 1 is obtained. That is, in this case, it is desirable that the magnetic field generating device 4 is turned on to generate the magnetic field when the shower arm 1 is rotated to the latter half region. In one example, the predetermined position may be a position where the shower arm 1 is located in a latter half region of the magnetic field. In another example, the predetermined position may be a position at which the spray arm 1 is about to enter the latter half of the magnetic field. In yet another example, to maximize the boosting effect of the magnetic field generator 4, the predetermined position may be the position at which the spray arm 1 is just entering the latter half of the magnetic field. The determination of the first half area and the second half area may be determined depending on the manner in which the installation angle (i.e., the magnetic field orientation) of the magnetic-field-generating device 4 is implemented.
As mentioned above, the processor 5 may determine the moment at which the magnetic field generating device 4 generates the magnetic field, in addition to which the processor 5 may determine the duration of maintaining the magnetic field. Specifically, the processor 5 may determine the region (range) of the magnetic field and the rotational speed of the spray arm 1. More specifically, when the shower arm 1 is rotated to a predetermined position (i.e., when the time at which the magnetic field is generated is determined), the processor 5 controls the magnetic field generating device 4 to generate the magnetic field. Since the range of the magnetic field is known, the time required for the spray arm 1 to rotate from the predetermined position to leave the range of the magnetic field can be determined, which can be the duration of the magnetic field. Accordingly, the processor 5 may also be configured to determine the duration of the magnetic field in the event that it is determined that the spray arm 1 has entered a predetermined position in the magnetic field; the magnetic field generating device 4 is controlled to generate a magnetic field and to maintain the magnetic field for a duration of time.
In another embodiment of the present application, the rotation speed detection device 3 is disposed in close proximity to the magnetic field generation device 4;
the rotation speed detection device 3 is configured to generate a first signal if the spray arm 1 rotates into a sensing range of the rotation speed detection device 3 and to generate a second signal if the spray arm leaves the sensing range;
the processor 5 is further configured to control the magnetic field generating device 4 to generate a magnetic field if the first signal is received, and to control the magnetic field generating device 4 to stop generating a magnetic field if the second signal is received.
In this embodiment, the rotational speed detection device 3 is disposed in close proximity to the magnetic field generation device 4, and the processor 5 in the above-described embodiment can be replaced with the detection state of the rotational speed detection device 3 to estimate the timing at which the shower arm 1 enters the predetermined position in the magnetic field.
Specifically, taking the example where the rotation speed detection device 3 is a hall sensor, the hall sensor sends out a first signal (for example, triggers the hall sensor to generate a low-level signal) when detecting that the shower arm 1 enters the hall sensing range, and the hall sensor sends out a second signal (for example, triggers the hall sensor to generate a high-level signal) when detecting that the shower arm 1 is away from the hall sensing range. Since the rotation speed detection device 3 and the magnetic field generation device 4 are disposed in close proximity (the sensing range of the hall sensor and the magnetic field range of the magnetic field generation device 4 can be adjusted to overlap each other (e.g., mostly overlap, completely overlap)), it can be considered that the shower arm 1 enters the range of the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generation device 4 when the processor 5 receives the first signal, and the shower arm 1 leaves the range of the magnetic field when the processor 5 receives the second signal. Thus, the processor 5 can determine, by the moment of receiving the first signal and the moment of receiving the second signal, the moment of generating the magnetic field and the moment of switching off the magnetic field by the magnetic field generating device 4, that is to say the moment and the duration of generating the magnetic field. In this way, the processor 5 may not need to estimate the position of the rotation of the spray arm 1 as in the above embodiments.
In this manner, it is also desirable that the magnetic field is turned on when the spray arm 1 is rotated to the latter half of the magnetic field to avoid the influence of the thrust reversal. The mounting positions of the magnetic field generating device 4 and the rotation speed detecting device 3 can be adjusted to achieve this object. Specifically, in one embodiment, the magnetic field generating device 4 and the rotation speed detecting device 3 may be arranged such that the spray arm 1 approaches the magnetic field generating device 4 first and then approaches the rotation speed detecting device 3 when rotating. That is, the shower arm 1 first enters the magnetic field range of the magnetic field generating device 4 and then enters the sensing range of the rotational speed detecting device 3 (e.g., hall sensor). The predetermined position in the above-described embodiment can be determined by adjusting the degree of overlap of the magnetic field range and the induction range. Specifically, when the hall sensor detects that the shower arm 1 is approaching and generates the first signal, the shower arm 1 is located at the predetermined position mentioned in the above embodiment, that is, at the point of coming into, just entering or already being located in the latter half region of the magnetic field generated by the magnetic-field generating device 4 (i.e., the region where the forward thrust is generated). In addition, when the hall sensor detects that the shower arm 1 is rotated away and generates the second signal, the shower arm 1 is located at a position away from the latter half of the magnetic field, for example, to be about to leave, just leave, or leave shortly. In this manner, the same effects as in the above-described embodiment can be achieved, but the processor 5 can be avoided from determining or estimating the position of the spray arm 1 at a future time, reducing the computational load of the processor.
In an embodiment of the present application, a magnetic field emission device includes: an electromagnetic coil for generating a magnetic field; and
and a magnetic field adjusting circuit 6 for adjusting the intensity of the magnetic field.
It can be understood that the electromagnetic coil is used in the present embodiment to generate the magnetic field, specifically, the electromagnetic coil is made by surrounding the coil on the outside of the soft iron rod, when the coil is electrified, the electromagnetic coil will induce the magnetic field according to the ampere rule, the electrifying direction determines the magnetic field direction, and since the magnet 2 on the spray arm 1 has the S pole facing the electromagnetic coil, the induced magnetic field is set to be the S pole facing the spray arm 1. When the rotating speed of the spray arm 1 is lower than the preset rotating speed, the processor 5 controls the electromagnetic coil to generate a magnetic field which is in repulsion with the magnet 2 to push the spray arm 1 to move. Further, because the magnetic field intensity generated by the electromagnetic coil can be realized by adjusting the magnitude of the current, a magnetic field adjusting circuit 6 for adjusting the magnetic field intensity is further arranged in the embodiment, the larger the current in the electromagnetic coil is adjusted by the magnetic field adjusting circuit 6, the stronger the magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic coil is, the larger the repulsive force between the magnetic field and the magnet 2 on the spray arm 1 is, and the more the rotating speed of the spray arm 1 is increased; similarly, the smaller the current in the electromagnetic coil is regulated by the magnetic field regulating circuit 6, the weaker the magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic coil is, the smaller the repulsive force between the magnetic field and the magnet 2 on the spray arm 1 is, and the relatively smaller the increase of the rotating speed of the spray arm 1 is.
In the embodiment of the present application, the magnetic field adjusting circuit 6 includes:
a power supply contact 61 for electrically connecting with a power supply source;
