For the sake of understanding, a specific application scenario of the embodiment of the present application is first described below.
The vacuum cleaner provided by the embodiment of the application comprises but is not limited to an upright vacuum cleaner, a horizontal vacuum cleaner, a handheld vacuum cleaner, an automatic vacuum cleaner (such as a sweeping robot) and the like. The basic structure of the dust collector comprises a power component (a fan motor and a ground brush motor), a cleaning component (a ground brush), a fan for generating suction force and sucking sundries from the air inlet and a dust collecting component. The power component drives the cleaning component to rotate at a certain rotating speed and provides suction force required by sucking the garbage. Clean the part and be connected with dust collecting component directly or through inlet air channel, when cleaning the part when rotating, with rubbish from the air intake inhale extremely under the effect of the suction force that the fan provided finally collect dust collecting component to realize rubbish and clean.
Alternative embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the flowchart of a method for controlling a vacuum cleaner according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The control method of the dust collector provided by the embodiment of the application comprises the following steps:
s1, when the air inlet is blocked, executing a breathing process;
in a specific embodiment of the present invention, the fan control unit is preset with a first rotation speed threshold, where the first rotation speed threshold is greater than or equal to a normal working rotation speed of the fan, and the normal working rotation speed is a rotation speed of the fan when the air inlet is not blocked. In practical applications, step S1 specifically includes:
s11, detecting the rotating speed of the fan;
in the embodiment of the present invention, the method for detecting the rotational speed of the fan is not limited, and fig. 3 shows a working schematic diagram of the motor, where the diagram includes three stators and a rotor, the three stators are respectively provided with a coil A, B, C, the coil B, C is in an energized state, and the coil a is not energized, and at this time, the position of the coil a can be a basis for detecting the rotational speed of the rotor. Specifically, the rotor speed, i.e., the fan speed, may be calculated according to the formula ω — 2 pi n, where n denotes the rotational speed and ω is the angular speed. The angular velocity ω can be obtained by calculating according to a formula v ═ ω × r and a formula ∈ ═ BLv, where ∈ is an electromotive force, B is a magnetic induction intensity (determined by a magnet on the rotor), L is a length of a wire on the coil, and v represents a velocity at which the wire perpendicularly cuts a magnetic field line, that is, a linear velocity at the radius r. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the fan includes an impeller and a motor, and the fan rotation speed is the motor rotation speed.
And S12, when the rotating speed of the fan reaches the first rotating speed threshold value, judging that the air inlet is blocked.
In practical application, when the dust collector works, the motor drives the impeller to rotate, the impeller applies work to air, the air in the dust collection barrel is pumped out, pressure difference is formed between the interior of the barrel and the atmospheric pressure, and therefore objects around the air inlet are sucked into the dust collection barrel. When the air inlet is blocked, the air amount in the dust collection barrel is reduced, the rotating speed of the fan is gradually increased from the normal working rotating speed at the moment until the air inlet is completely blocked by the object, the object and the air cannot enter the dust collection barrel, the dust collection barrel is in a vacuum state, the fan is equivalent to no load at the moment, and the rotating speed reaches the highest. It should be noted that the rotation speed of the fan and the suction force are in direct proportion, and in the process of gradually increasing the rotation speed of the fan, the suction force is also increased, and an object at the air inlet may be sucked into the dust collecting barrel, so that, preferably, the first rotation speed threshold is greater than the normal operation rotation speed when the fan is not blocked, which can improve the control accuracy and avoid the above-mentioned sudden suction.
S2, the breathing process comprises: firstly, controlling the fan to reduce the rotating speed; then controlling the fan to increase the rotating speed;
in an embodiment of the invention, when a blockage of the air inlet is detected, a breathing process is performed in order to eliminate the blockage. Specifically, step S2 includes:
s21, reducing the power supply current of the fan to reduce the rotating speed of the fan;
specifically, the manner of reducing the power supply current of the fan is not limited, and for example, the output current of the power supply may be controlled to be reduced; or directly stopping power supply to the fan. Preferably, when the rotating speed of the fan reaches the first rotating speed threshold value, the fan control unit powers off the fan, and at the moment, the rotating speed of the fan is gradually reduced based on inertia and may be finally reduced to zero, so that the shutdown is realized.
It should be noted that, in the process of reducing the power supply current of the fan, the rotating speed is smaller and smaller, and the suction force is also smaller and smaller, so that the blockage can fall off by reducing the rotating speed of the fan, thereby eliminating the blockage.
S22, when the rotating speed of the fan is reduced to a second rotating speed threshold value, increasing the power supply current of the fan to increase the rotating speed of the fan, wherein the second rotating speed threshold value is smaller than the normal working rotating speed of the fan;
specifically, when the fan speed is controlled to be increased from a decreasing speed according to the second speed threshold, the fan control unit needs to detect the fan speed in real time, and the detection principle still refers to fig. 3, after the fan control unit controls the motor to be powered off, the A, B, C coils are not powered, at this time, in the process of inertial stop of the rotor, a back electromotive force is generated to the coils A, B, C, and the speed of the rotor, that is, the fan speed, can be detected by detecting the back electromotive force and the position of the rotor corresponding to any one of the three stators. The specific calculation method can be calculated by the method provided by the prior art, and is not described in detail herein.
The second rotation speed threshold may be zero, or may be slightly greater than zero and much smaller than the normal operating rotation speed of the fan. If the second rotation speed threshold is not zero, the second rotation speed threshold is used as the initial rotation speed when the fan supplies power again, the rotation speed is gradually increased, and compared with the rotation speed increase from zero, the power supply time can be shortened, namely, the time for the fan to increase the rotation speed can be reduced; further, energy loss can be reduced.
In another possible implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention, a method for controlling a rotation speed of the fan to change from a reduction to an increase may include: and when the time length for reducing the power supply current of the fan reaches a preset time threshold, improving the power supply current of the fan to improve the rotating speed of the fan.
In this implementation, the transition of the fan speed is controlled by a preset time threshold. As shown in fig. 4, the fan control unit does not need to detect the fan speed, but controls whether to increase the supply current of the fan according to a preset time threshold (0.5 second). In the embodiment of the invention, the timing is started from the power failure of the fan, and the power can be supplied to the fan again when the preset time threshold is reached. Preferably, the preset time threshold is smaller than the time required by the fan from the start of power failure to the reduction of the rotating speed to zero.
In practical application, the dust collector further comprises a main controller, when the fan is powered off, the fan control unit outputs a fan abnormal signal to the main controller, the main controller outputs an enable signal and a rotating speed control signal to the fan control unit, and the fan control unit controls the fan to be powered on again to improve the rotating speed based on the enable signal and the rotating speed control signal. Here, there are at least the following three ways to control the fan to increase the rotation speed:
in a first possible mode, the power is supplied by the normal working power of the fan, and the normal working power refers to the output power of the fan when the air inlet is not blocked. Specifically, when power is supplied again, the input current of the fan is not changed under the condition of constant voltage, that is, the input current is the normal operating current of the fan, and the output power of the fan is not changed. It will be appreciated that this is a way of restoring the operating state prior to the power outage, and that the blockage may be subsequently removed by performing a number of such breathing processes.
In a second possible mode, power is supplied with preset restart power, and the restart power is greater than the normal working power of the fan. Specifically, the output power of the fan is controlled to be increased to the restart power. In practical application, when power is supplied again, the input current of the fan can be increased under the condition of constant voltage, so that the output power of the fan is increased, the suction force is larger, and the blockage is eliminated. It will be appreciated that the fan control unit automatically selects an upshift restart upon re-powering. Of course, the upshift restart may be manually selected, for example, by pressing a key to select a high-gear rotation speed after power supply.
In a third possible way, the fan speed may be increased by increasing the first speed threshold, so as to eliminate the blockage. Specifically, before the fan control unit detects whether the air inlet is blocked, the first rotation speed threshold value is reset, so that the current first rotation speed threshold value is larger than the first rotation speed threshold value set at the previous time. The fan speed increases with time based on the inherent mechanical characteristics of the fan, and thus the greater the first speed threshold, the longer the power supply time, and the higher the fan speed, the greater the suction force. In this manner, the power supply at the normal operating power or the preset restart power can be selected.
And S3, if the air inlet is still blocked, circularly executing the breathing process.
In practical application, the fan control unit detects the rotating speed of the fan in real time, and after the fan is powered up again each time, if the rotating speed of the fan is detected to still reach the first rotating speed threshold value, the situation that a blockage does not fall off or is not sucked into the dust collection barrel is indicated, and at the moment, the breathing process needs to be executed repeatedly.
Further, the fan control unit is also set with a preset cycle number, and the control method further comprises: and S4, if the cycle number of the breathing process reaches the preset cycle number, the fan control unit controls the fan to be powered off completely, namely the rotating speed of the fan is reduced to zero, and manual cleaning is carried out. The preset cycle number can be set arbitrarily according to actual requirements, for example, 4 times or 5 times.
It should be noted that, in each execution of the breathing process, only one parameter, namely the preset cycle number of the breathing process, may be changed, and one or more of the preset restart power, the first preset threshold, the preset cycle number, and the like may also be changed to eliminate the blockage.
Finally, the control method of the dust collector provided by the embodiment of the invention firstly controls the fan to reduce the rotating speed when the dust collector is detected to be blocked, then automatically controls the fan to increase the rotating speed, and repeats the processes continuously and circularly until the blockage is eliminated, so that the blockage does not need to be cleaned manually, and the use is more convenient; further improving the user experience.
Based on the control method of the dust collector provided by the embodiment, the embodiment of the application also provides the dust collector. Referring to fig. 5, the cleaner includes: the air conditioner comprises an air inlet 50, a fan 51 and a fan control unit 52, wherein the fan 51 is used for generating suction force and sucking objects from the air inlet 50, and the fan control unit 52 is used for executing a breathing process when detecting that the air inlet is blocked, and the breathing process comprises the following steps: firstly, controlling the fan to reduce the rotating speed, and then controlling the fan to increase the rotating speed; and if the air inlet is blocked, circularly executing the breathing process.
In the specific embodiment of the present invention, the fan control unit 52 is preset with: and the first rotating speed threshold value is greater than the normal working rotating speed of the fan. In practical application, when the dust collector works, the motor drives the impeller to rotate, the impeller applies work to air, the air in the dust collection barrel is pumped out, pressure difference is formed between the interior of the barrel and the atmospheric pressure, and therefore objects around the air inlet are sucked into the dust collection barrel. When the air inlet is blocked, the air amount in the dust collection barrel is reduced, the rotating speed of the fan is gradually increased from the normal working rotating speed at the moment until the air inlet is completely blocked by the object, the object and the air cannot enter the dust collection barrel, the dust collection barrel is in a vacuum state, the fan is equivalent to no load at the moment, and the rotating speed reaches the highest. It should be noted that the rotation speed of the fan and the suction force are in direct proportion, and in the process of gradually increasing the rotation speed of the fan, the suction force is also increased, and an object at the air inlet may be sucked into the dust collecting barrel, so that, preferably, the first rotation speed threshold is greater than the normal operation rotation speed of the fan, which can improve the accuracy of the control method and avoid the above-mentioned sudden suction.
Further, the fan control unit 52 includes a detection circuit 520, a fan controller 521, and a motor drive circuit 522. The detection circuit 520 is configured to detect the rotational speed of the fan and send the rotational speed to the fan controller 521.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the method for detecting the rotational speed of the fan by the detection circuit 520 is not limited, and reference may be specifically made to a method for calculating the rotational speed of the fan in the prior art, which is not described herein again. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the fan includes an impeller and a motor, and the fan rotation speed is the motor rotation speed.
The fan controller 521 is configured to execute a breathing process when the fan speed reaches the first speed threshold, where the breathing process includes: the fan is controlled to reduce the rotating speed firstly, and then the fan is controlled to increase the rotating speed.
In an embodiment of the invention, when a blockage of the air inlet is detected, a breathing process is performed in order to eliminate the blockage. Specifically, the fan controller 521 is configured to: when the fan speed reaches the first speed threshold, sending a speed reduction signal to the motor drive circuit 522; the motor drive circuit 522 is configured to: receives the rotation speed reduction signal and reduces the supply current of the fan 51.
In practical applications, the reduced speed signal includes the situation that the input voltage is zero or the output current is reduced. In the embodiment of the present invention, when the motor driving circuit 522 stops inputting the voltage to the fan, the fan speed gradually decreases based on inertia, and may eventually decrease to zero, so that the shutdown is realized.
It should be noted that, in the process of reducing the rotating speed of the fan, the rotating speed is smaller and smaller, and the suction force is also smaller and smaller, so that the blockage can fall off by reducing the rotating speed of the fan, and the blockage is eliminated.
The fan controller 521 is further configured to control the motor driving circuit 522 to increase the supply current of the fan to increase the rotation speed when the rotation speed of the fan is reduced to a second rotation speed threshold, where the second rotation speed threshold is smaller than the normal operating rotation speed of the fan.
Specifically, when the fan controller 521 controls the fan rotation speed to be changed from a reduced rotation speed to an increased rotation speed according to a second rotation speed threshold, the detection circuit 520 needs to detect the fan rotation speed in real time, please refer to fig. 3 for the detection principle, when the fan controller 521 controls the fan to be powered off, the A, B, C coils are not powered, at this time, in the process of the inertial stop of the rotor, a back electromotive force is generated to the coils A, B, C, and the rotation speed of the rotor, that is, the fan rotation speed, can be detected by detecting the back electromotive force and the position of the rotor corresponding to any one of the three stators. The above specific calculation method can be calculated by a method improved in the prior art, and is not described in detail here.
The second rotation speed threshold may be zero, or may be slightly greater than zero and much smaller than the normal operating rotation speed when the fan is not blocked. If the second rotation speed threshold is not zero, the second rotation speed threshold is used as the initial rotation speed when the fan is powered up again, and the rotation speed is gradually increased, so that the power supply time can be shortened, namely, the time required by the fan for increasing the rotation speed can be reduced compared with the case of increasing the rotation speed from zero; further, energy loss can be reduced.
In other possible implementation manners of the embodiment of the present invention, the fan controller 521 is further configured to: when the time length of the reduced rotating speed of the fan reaches a preset time threshold value, the motor driving circuit 522 is controlled to increase the power supply current of the fan so as to increase the rotating speed of the fan.
In this implementation manner, the change of the rotation speed is controlled by the preset time threshold, and the detection circuit 520 only needs to control the power supply to the fan 51 by the preset time threshold (0.5 second) without detecting the rotation speed of the fan, that is, the timing is started from the power failure of the fan, and when the preset time threshold is reached, the power supply to the fan 51 can be resumed. Preferably, the preset time threshold is smaller than the time required for the fan 51 to reduce the rotation speed to zero from the power-off state.
In practical application, the vacuum cleaner further includes a main controller 53, when the fan 51 is powered off, the fan controller 521 outputs a fan abnormal signal to the main controller 53, after the main controller 53 receives the fan abnormal signal, the main controller 53 outputs an enable signal and a rotation speed control signal to the fan controller 521, and the fan controller 521 controls the motor driving circuit 522 to supply power to the fan 51 and controls to increase the rotation speed of the fan based on the enable signal and the rotation speed control signal.
Wherein, fan abnormal signal includes: and the rotating speed of the fan is reduced to a second rotating speed threshold value or the rotating speed reduction time of the fan reaches the preset time threshold value. The rotational speed control signal includes: the normal working power or the preset restarting power of the fan is larger than the normal working power. In some implementations of specific embodiments of the present invention, the fan controller 521 is configured to control the motor driving circuit 522 to supply power at a preset restart power. Specifically, when power is supplied again, the input current of the fan is increased under the condition of constant voltage, so that the output power of the fan is increased to make the suction force larger, and the blockage is eliminated. It will be appreciated that upon re-powering, an upshift restart may be automatically set. Of course, the upshift may be manually restarted, for example, after power supply, the high-gear rotation speed is manually selected by pressing a key.
In other embodiments, the fan controller 521 is configured to control the motor driver circuit 522 to supply power at the normal operating power of the fan. Specifically, when power is supplied again, the input current of the fan is not changed under the condition of constant voltage, namely, the normal working current of the fan before power failure is input. It will be appreciated that this is a way of restoring the operating state prior to the power outage, and that by performing the breathing process a number of times the blockage can be removed.
In other embodiments, the fan controller 521 may increase the fan speed by increasing the first speed threshold to eliminate the blockage. Specifically, when the detection circuit 520 detects whether the air inlet is blocked every time, the first rotation speed threshold is reset, so that the current first rotation speed threshold is greater than the previously set first rotation speed threshold. The fan speed increases with time based on the inherent mechanical characteristics of the fan, and thus the greater the first speed threshold, the longer the power supply time, and the higher the fan speed, the greater the suction force. In this manner, the power supply can be selected to be performed at the normal operation power or the preset restart power.
Further, the fan controller 521 is also configured to: and if the air inlet is still blocked, circularly executing the breathing process. Specifically, after the blower controller 521 executes a breathing process (i.e. a period of power off and power supply), the detection circuit 520 detects whether the blower speed reaches the first speed threshold, and if the blower speed still reaches the first speed threshold, it indicates that the blockage does not fall or is sucked into the dust collecting bucket, and at this time, the breathing process needs to be executed repeatedly.
Further, the fan controller 521 is set with a preset number of cycles, and the fan controller 521 is further configured to: when the cycle number of the breathing process reaches the preset cycle number, the fan 51 is controlled to be powered off completely, namely the rotating speed of the fan is controlled to be reduced to zero, and then the blockage is cleaned manually. The preset cycle number can be set arbitrarily according to actual requirements, for example, 4 times or 5 times.
It should be noted that, in each execution of the breathing process, only one parameter, namely the preset cycle number of the breathing process, may be changed, and one or more of the preset restart power, the first preset threshold, the preset cycle number, and the like may also be changed to eliminate the blockage.
Finally, when the air inlet is blocked, the dust collector provided by the embodiment of the invention firstly controls the fan to reduce the rotating speed, then automatically controls the fan to increase the rotating speed, and repeats the processes continuously and circularly until the blockage is eliminated, so that the blockage can be automatically cleaned, and the dust collector is convenient to use; further improving the user experience.
Finally, it should be noted that: the embodiments in the present description are described in a progressive manner, each embodiment focuses on differences from other embodiments, and the same and similar parts among the embodiments are referred to each other. The system or the device disclosed by the embodiment corresponds to the method disclosed by the embodiment, so that the description is simple, and the relevant points can be referred to the method part for description.
