Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the exemplary embodiments may be embodied in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these example embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The drawings are merely schematic illustrations of the present application and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and thus a repetitive description thereof will be omitted.
Preferred embodiments of the present application will be further elaborated below with reference to the drawings of the present specification.
Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a structure of a washing machine according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the washing machine includes at least a cabinet 10, a dehydrating tub 20, a motor driving device 30, a door 40, and a drain pump 50. Wherein, the liquid crystal display device comprises a liquid crystal display device,
the dehydrating tub 20 includes an outer tub and an inner tub rotatably fixed inside the outer tub. The door 40 is pivotally provided to the cabinet 10 for opening or closing the inner tub.
In the dehydration process, a controller of the washing machine sends a dehydration instruction to the motor driving device 30, the motor driving device 30 drives the motor to drive the inner barrel to rotate, holes which are distributed at intervals are formed in the inner barrel, when the inner barrel rotates, the clothes in the inner barrel generate centrifugal force, and the moisture in the clothes is thrown out of the holes of the inner barrel under the action of the centrifugal force, so that the clothes are dehydrated.
The drain pump 50 communicates with the outer tub. The drainage pump mainly comprises a motor, an impeller, a water inlet and a drainage outlet. The water in the outer barrel enters the drainage pump through the water inlet, the motor drives the impeller to rotate at a high speed, the water in the drainage pump obtains energy under the action of inertial centrifugal force by virtue of the impeller rotating at a high speed, the water in the drainage pump is discharged from the water outlet, after the water in the pump is discharged, the central part of the impeller forms a vacuum area, the washing water in the outer barrel enters the impeller under the action of water pressure and atmospheric pressure, and the motor drives the impeller to continuously rotate, so that continuous drainage is realized. Wherein, the water outlet is communicated with the impeller through a water outlet pipe, and the height of the water outlet cannot be too high or too low. When the water outlet is placed too low, a siphon phenomenon occurs, and when the water outlet is placed too high, a phenomenon of no water discharge or overtime of water discharge occurs.
Because the residual detergent in the washing water will generate foam, when excessive foam remains in the washing water and the water quantity in the drainage pump is small, the water-air mixing phenomenon will occur at the impeller, at this time, the water-air mixture will strike the pump cavity and the impeller rotating at high speed, resulting in larger drainage noise, and because the air is not easy to be discharged, the drainage performance of the drainage pump will be reduced, and the cleanliness of the dehydrated object is reduced. Worse, in the latter half of the dehydration process, if the dehydrated matter still contains more water, the phenomenon of dehydration with water will occur, and the dehydration performance of the washing machine will be seriously affected. The dehydration phenomenon with water is a phenomenon that water thrown out from a dehydrated object rotates along with the rotation of a dehydration barrel, so that the water cannot be smoothly discharged.
The dehydration control method of the application carries out dehydration control through the load capacity, the rotation speed of the dehydration barrel, the dehydration speed of the dehydrated object and the drainage time sequence, and aims to improve the dehydration performance and the cleanliness of the dehydrated object after dehydration.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a dehydration control method of a washing machine according to an embodiment of the present application. The control method is specifically performed by a controller of the washing machine, and in this embodiment, the washing machine dehydrating method includes at least the following steps S210 to S240.
Step S210, responding to the dehydration instruction, and acquiring the load capacity in the dehydration barrel.
The dehydration instruction may be issued after the user activates a designated dehydration button, or may be automatically triggered in a series of laundry cleaning processes, illustratively, after the rinse phase is completed, the dehydration phase will be entered. After the controller of the washing machine sends out a dehydration instruction, the washing machine controls the motor driving device to drive the inner barrel to rotate so as to enter a dehydration process for dehydration. After entering the dehydration process, conventionally, a drainage pump is started to drain until reaching a set water level, and after the drainage pump is drained to the set water level, a weighing program can be operated to obtain the load capacity in the dehydration barrel. The load amount is a load amount of a driving device of the washing machine. The greater the weight of the dehydrated object and its contained moisture, the greater the load. The load in the dewatering barrel can be obtained by weighing the output signals of the driving device. The output signal of the driving device can be an electromotive force signal of the motor, a motor speed feedback signal, a motor current and the like.
If detergent remains in the washing water in the inner tub after the rinsing is completed, the washing water may foam.
Step S220, determining a rotating speed control strategy of the washing machine according to the load quantity; and step S230, predicting the dehydration speed according to the rotation speed control strategy.
The dehydration rate is related to the amount of load. Specifically, when the load amount is small, the water content is small, and the dehydration speed is high. When the load is large, the water content is large, and the dehydration speed is slow. Therefore, a rotation speed control strategy corresponding to the load amount can be selected or formulated according to the load amount.
In one embodiment, the washing machine has a first dewatering stage and a second dewatering stage, the first dewatering stage having a lower rotational speed than the second dewatering stage; the determining a rotational speed control strategy of the washing machine according to the load amount may include: and determining the dehydration times of intermittent dehydration in the first dehydration stage according to the load amount, and controlling the dehydration barrel to dehydrate for the dehydration times at preset dehydration intervals.
Specifically, intermittent dehydration is an advanced dehydration stage before the rotational speed is raised. The intermittent dehydration is used for avoiding the phenomenon of dehydration with water after the rotation speed is increased. In one embodiment, the load may be divided into a small load, a medium load, and a large load according to the magnitude of the load amount. When the obtained load amount is a small load, the pre-dehydration may not be performed. When the obtained load is a medium load, a first dehydration number may be set, and when the obtained load is a large load, a second dehydration number may be set, wherein the second dehydration number is greater than the first dehydration number. Therefore, on one hand, the dehydration time length when the load is a medium load or a small load can be reduced, and on the other hand, the dehydration performance when the load is a large load can be improved.
In one embodiment, the intermittent dehydration is periodic dehydration, if one dehydration cycle includes a ramp-up phase and a ramp-down phase after the ramp-up phase, thereby enabling the dehydration tub to maintain the completion of the pre-dehydration process at a low speed, in which case, the dehydration speed of the ramp-up phase may be predicted to be greater than that of the ramp-down phase, thereby controlling the dehydration tub to drain in the ramp-up phase, and controlling the dehydration tub to drain at a first preset time interval in the ramp-down phase. In further embodiments, batch dewatering may also involve a steady-rate process. The steady speed process is used to stabilize the rotational speed to reduce power consumption, or to perform a program such as eccentric detection. The intermittent dehydration may be provided with an upper rotational speed limit and a lower rotational speed limit. The lower limit value of the rotating speed can be any value between 90 and 100rpm, and the upper limit value of the rotating speed can be any value between 350 and 400rpm, so that the rotating speed is controlled in a lower range, and the phenomenon of dehydration with water is avoided.
The rotational speed control strategy is a method for controlling the rotational speed of the dewatering tub. In one embodiment, the speed control strategy may be expressed in terms of a speed control curve. Wherein the horizontal axis of the rotation speed control curve is time, and the vertical axis is the rotation speed of the dewatering barrel.
Further, the dehydration speed is also related to the rotation speed of the dehydration tub. It is easily understood that the dehydration speed in the initial stage of dehydration will be greater than the dehydration speed in the later stage of dehydration, and the dehydration speed at the time of rapid rise of the inner tub will be higher than the dehydration speed at the time of deceleration of the inner tub. Wherein, the dehydration speed is the water loss of the to-be-dehydrated matters in the inner barrel in unit time.
And step S240, determining a drainage strategy according to the dehydration speed to reduce foam in the washing water in the dehydration barrel, wherein the drainage strategy comprises a drainage interval.
The drainage strategy is determined based on the difference in dewatering rates of the different weight loads during the dewatering process. The drain strategy is a method of drain control by intermittently turning on or off the drain pump, and a time interval for turning on or off the drain pump is determined according to a dehydration speed and a drain speed. When the drain pump is intermittently closed, the drain speed is reduced, the drain pump stores water, and the stored washing water also comprises water of the washing water backflow of the rising section of the drain pipe. After a period of water storage, the water drainage is started again, firstly, foam floating on the washing water is brought out of the washing machine, and secondly, the drainage pump is always filled with water, so that smooth water drainage is facilitated, and foam in the washing water in the dewatering barrel is reduced.
Illustratively, in this embodiment, the drainage strategy may be to control the dewatering tub to keep the drainage pump open during the speed-up phase where the dewatering speed is high to smoothly drain water, and to control the dewatering tub to intermittently close or remain closed during the speed-down phase where the dewatering speed is low, so that the dewatering speed matches the drainage speed to prevent the phenomenon of semi-gas and semi-water in the drainage pump.
According to the application, the step control is firstly carried out according to the magnitude of the load quantity, the rotational speed control strategy is determined by utilizing the water content difference of the loads with different weights, and then the drainage strategy corresponding to each load quantity is formulated by utilizing the dehydration speed difference in the dehydration process in the rotational speed control strategy corresponding to each load quantity, so that the fine control of the load of each load quantity is realized, the semi-water and semi-air state is avoided, the smooth discharge of the washing water in the dehydration barrel is facilitated, and the cleanliness of the dehydrated object is improved.
In one embodiment, after predicting the dehydration speed according to the rotational speed control strategy, the method may further include the steps of: a dewatering speed is detected to modify the drainage strategy based on the detected dewatering speed. Specifically, the dewatering speed can be obtained through the flow rate in the water inlet pipe of the drainage pump, the obtained dewatering speed is compared with the predicted dewatering speed, and the drainage strategy is further modified according to the comparison result.
In one embodiment, the washing machine has a first dewatering stage and a second dewatering stage, the first dewatering stage having a lower rotational speed than the second dewatering stage. The second dehydration stage comprises a speed increasing stage and a speed stabilizing stage; the drainage strategy includes: in the rising stage with higher dehydration speed, controlling the dehydration barrel to drain water; in the speed stabilization stage, the dewatering barrel is controlled to drain at a second preset time interval, so that the dewatering speed is matched with the drainage speed, and the phenomenon of semi-water and semi-gas in the drainage pump is avoided. Wherein the first dehydration stage is preceded by the second dehydration stage, the dehydration speed of the steady stage can be predicted to be lower than that of the deceleration stage in the first dehydration stage, and therefore, the second preset time interval can be set to be greater than the first preset time interval.
In one embodiment, the washing machine includes a drain pump for draining the washing water thrown out of the dewatering tub; after determining the drainage strategy according to the dehydration speed, the dehydration control method of the washing machine further includes: detecting a water level in the drain pump; and when the water level is lower than the set water level threshold, closing the drainage pump to store water. Therefore, the water vapor filling of the drainage pump can be further guaranteed, and the phenomenon of semi-water and semi-gas is prevented.
Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a dehydration control method according to still another embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 3, in this embodiment, the dehydration control method of a washing machine includes the steps of:
step S301, responding to a dehydration instruction, and draining water to a set water level;
step S302, controlling the rotation of the dewatering barrel to shake off under the condition that the water level of the dewatering barrel is reduced to a preset water level so as to uniformly distribute the load;
step S303, obtaining the load capacity and the eccentric capacity in the dewatering barrel;
step S304, judging whether the eccentric amount meets the requirement, if yes, executing step S305, and if not, executing step S302;
step S305, judging whether the load is greater than a first threshold; if not, go to step S307; if yes, go to step S306;
step S306, judging whether the load is larger than a second threshold, wherein the second threshold is larger than the first threshold, and if not, executing step S308; if yes, go to step S309;
step S308, medium load, executing a second rotating speed control strategy;
step S309, the third rotational speed control strategy is executed for heavy load.
Specifically, in response to a dehydration instruction, a drainage flow is entered, and firstly, a drainage pump is started to drain redundant water in a dehydration barrel until a preset water level is reached. And then, under the condition that the water level of the dewatering barrel reaches a preset water level, starting the motor to drive the dewatering barrel to rotate so as to shake off the load at the rotating speed of 0-80 rpm. Then, the eccentricity detection can be performed when the rotating speed reaches 90rpm, and the weighing is performed under the condition that the eccentricity is smaller than or equal to the preset eccentric upper limit value, so that the load capacity in the dewatering barrel is obtained, and the stepping control is further performed according to the load capacity. The first threshold and the second threshold are used for grading the load amount, and specific values of the first threshold and the second threshold can be specifically determined according to the implementation situation. Taking a 10kg capacity washing machine as an example, the first threshold may be 3kg, the second threshold may be 6kg, that is, the small load may be a load of less than 3kg, the medium load may be a load of 3-6kg, and the large load may be a load of 6-10 kg. And then executing a rotating speed control strategy corresponding to the load capacity.
It should be noted that, when the eccentricity is detected in step S304, the eccentricity detection may not be performed any more in the following step if the eccentricity meets the requirement, so as to shorten the dehydration time. If the eccentricity is not in accordance with the requirement, uniform distribution can be performed, if the number of times of uniform distribution exceeds the preset number of times, overrun alarm can be performed, or the rotation speed is changed to continue uniform distribution treatment, and the method is not limited.
Fig. 4 is a timing diagram of a first rotational speed control strategy when the load is a small load in accordance with an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 4, when the load is a small load, the rotational speed control strategy is controlled in t1 and t2 phases. the rotational speed in the t1 stage is lower than the rotational speed in the t2 stage. And (3) performing operations such as pre-draining to a preset water level, uniformly loading, weighing the load and the like in the stage t 1. And then, the rotating speed is increased to spin-dry the clothes in the stage t2, so that the dehydration time of a small load with low water content can be shortened. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first rotational speed control strategy corresponds to the first drainage strategy shown in the graph of fig. 4 as follows: at the stage t1, opening a drainage pump to drain water uninterruptedly; at stage t2, intermittent drainage is performed at first drainage intervals. The reason is as follows: in the stage t1, the water content is high in the dewatering initial stage, the pre-drainage is performed to a preset water level, the water drainage speed is high when the machine rotates during weighing and even loading, in the stage t2, the water content is reduced, intermittent drainage is performed to perform 'water storage-drainage' circulation, so that the water in the drainage pump is kept full, the probability of semi-water and semi-gas conditions is reduced, the phenomenon of dewatering after the rotation speed is increased is reduced, and the cleanliness of a dewatered object is improved, and the dewatering efficiency is improved.
Fig. 5 is a timing diagram of a third rotational speed control strategy when the load is a heavy load according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 5, when the load is a large load, the third rotational speed control strategy performs the t1 phase, the t2 phase, and the t3 phase in stages. In order to reduce the complexity of the control, the rotational speed control strategy at the t1 stage in fig. 5 may be identical to that at the t1 stage in fig. 4, and the rotational speed control strategy at the t3 stage in fig. 5 may also be identical to that at the t2 stage in fig. 4. In further embodiments, the segment control may also be performed by rotational speed.
As can be seen from comparing fig. 4 and 5, in the case where the load is a large load, intermittent dehydration at the t2 stage as shown in fig. 5 is added. Intermittent dehydration is used for advanced dehydration, so that the phenomenon of dehydration with water in the subsequent high-speed stage due to a large load with large water content is avoided. In this example, the number of intermittent dehydration was 3. In the case of the medium load, the number of intermittent dehydration may be set to 1-2 times. The number of intermittent dehydration can also be determined according to practical conditions. It should be noted that the third drainage strategy corresponding to the third rotational speed control strategy may be as follows: at the stage t1 in FIG. 5, the drain pump is opened to perform uninterrupted drainage; and performing intermittent drainage in a t2 stage and a t3 stage. Therefore, the water in the drainage pump is kept full, and the probability of half water and half gas conditions is reduced.
Therefore, the application carries out step control on loads with different weights, thereby shortening the dehydration time when the load capacity is smaller; when the load capacity is large, intermittent dehydration is utilized to carry out advanced dehydration, and corresponding drainage strategies are set according to different drainage speeds, so that the drainage pump is kept full of water in the dehydration process, the drainage performance is improved, and the probability of dehydration with water in a subsequent high-speed stage is reduced.
Fig. 5a is an enlarged view of stage t2 in fig. 5. In this embodiment, by finely controlling the drainage, a better drainage effect is achieved. Specifically, fig. 5a shows a rotational speed control method with three intermittent dehydration, wherein each intermittent dehydration includes four sections, namely a first section t2-1 with smooth rotational speed, a second section t2-2 with increased rotational speed, a third section t2-3 with decreased rotational speed, and a fourth section t2-4 with further decreased rotational speed. In this embodiment, the drain pump is kept on for periods t2-1 and t2-2, the drain pump is turned off for period t2-3, and the drain pump is intermittently turned on for period t2-4. Specifically, t2-1 is an eccentric detection stage, and the drainage pump is always started; t2-2 is a step of increasing the speed from 90rpm to 350rpm or 400rpm, the unit time of the load in the step is the largest in drainage amount, and the drainage pump is always started; t2-3 is an initial deceleration stage, the drainage amount is reduced, the drainage pump is firstly closed for a period of time, and when the drainage pump stops working, washing water in an ascending section on the drainage pipe flows back under the action of gravity, so that the drainage pump is full of water, a semi-water semi-air state is not caused, and dewatering with water is avoided; and a speed-reducing stage after t2-4, wherein the drainage pump is started alternately according to a certain time sequence, namely, drainage is performed, and dehydration with water caused by water-vapor mixing state is avoided. It should be noted that the critical rotation speed for distinguishing the period t2-3 from the period t2-4 is determined according to the drainage speed and the dehydration speed, and preferably, the drainage speed is equal to the dehydration speed at the rotation speeds of the period t2-3 and the period t2-4.
Fig. 5b is an enlarged view of stage t3 in fig. 5. As shown in fig. 5b, after entering the stage t3, the rotation speed of the dewatering drum is increased stepwise until reaching the set target rotation speed of 1200rpm. Each rise can be divided into a rise speed stage t3-1, an initial stage t3-2 for maintaining the rotating speed and a stable stage t3-3 for maintaining the rotating speed. Wherein, the dehydration speed of the load at the t3-1 stage is the fastest, and the drainage pump is always started. the drainage amount in the stage t3-2 is reduced, the drainage pump is closed, and when the drainage pump stops working, washing water in the ascending section on the drainage pipe flows back under the action of gravity, so that the drainage pump is full of water, a semi-water and semi-air state is not caused, and dehydration with water is avoided; the draining pump is started alternately according to a certain time sequence in the stage t3-3, namely, the draining is performed, and the dehydration with water caused by the water-vapor mixing state is avoided. Thus, an improvement in dewatering performance can be achieved.
In one embodiment, a dehydration speed detection device may be further provided, and the drainage strategy may be modified according to the detected dehydration speed, so as to modify the predicted dehydration speed under special conditions such as abnormal water content caused by special clothes types, so as to achieve the matching of the dehydration speed under special conditions and the drainage speed, and further avoid the semi-water and semi-air state in the drainage pump, further avoid the occurrence of the dehydration phenomenon with water, and ensure the dehydration performance.
