Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for estimating the load of clothes in a household tumble dryer, such dryer being provided with a contact band or strip for moisture measuring circuit.
- a known tumble dryer is composed by the following components: a rotating drum actuated by an electric motor aimed at containing a certain amount of clothes inside; a heating element that heats the air to be blown inside the drum according to a predefined number of heating power levels; an air channel that conveys air either outside the appliance (vented dryer) or to a condenser (condensing dryer); two temperature sensors that measure the air temperature before entering the drum and the air temperature at the drum outlet; at least a contact strip normally used to measure the conductivity or resistivity of wet clothes; an optional spray nozzle used, in some dryer, to spray water and/or chemical substances on dry clothes in order to refresh them; a control unit that is able to read the actual value of the temperature sensors and of the other available sensors, including the conductivity value of the clothes and it is able to store the values in some memory registers
- the algorithm disclosed by such document is based on the comparison, after a predetermined fixed drying time has elapsed, of the actual measured voltage (across contact strips or the like) and a predetermined voltage limit, in order to assess whether a small or large load signal has to be generated within the central process unit of the dryer.
- This known method has the drawback of not providing reliable signals on loads due to the determination of a single minimum value of conductivity. Moreover this method can only distinguish between a large or small load signals, giving therefore only a very rough possibility of adjusting the drying cycle on the basis of load size. Then, in order to increase the reliability of such rough assessment, the above document teaches to check the load estimation value by comparing it to a load signal generated by monitoring air flow temperature, therefore increasing the complexity and cost of the estimation system.
- an electrical parameter linked to the degree of clothes dryness for instance the area under the curve conductivity/time, slope of such curve, time interval between two predetermined values of dryness or delay time for reaching a predetermined dryness, it is possible not only to discriminate among different values of load sizes, but also to carry out such estimation also near the end of the drying process.
- Another advantage of the method according to the present invention is to allow the designer building an experimental relationship between conductivity target values and actual loads of clothes on the basis of input humidity target values chosen by the user.
- the method according to the invention can be used also in the so called refresh cycle where the clothes are loaded dry in the dryer drum.
- the refresh cycle it is necessary to spray water and/or chemical substances in order to reach a fixed value of humidity. If the spray flow is constant the voltage signal shape, read by the strip of the moisture measuring circuit, is strictly related to fabric mass. A big load needs more time than a smaller one to achieve the same value of humidity content.
- the method according to the invention allows to exactly evaluating the amount of water and/or chemical used in a refresh cycle for each type of load (small, medium, big). This allows a water/chemicals/time saving.
- the gist of the present invention is to use not only the voltage value but also the information related to its change vs. time, i.e. slope, derivatives, integral, time gap and all other voltage signal shape characteristics.
- Figures 5 to 8 describe different relationships between fabric mass and voltage signal shape during a refresh cycle where water is prayed onto the clothes.
- the same considerations apply to drying cycle too.
- the voltage signal shape is strictly related to fabric mass but of course it decreases instead of growing up.
- the voltage value is decreasing but the behaviour of big loads is different from the behaviour of small ones.
- the time A or B elapsed between two fixed voltage values is proportional to a certain load, the shorter the time, the smaller the load.
- the experimental diagram of figure 10 shows how the method according to the invention can discriminate not only among different load sizes (and therefore not only between "low” and "high"), but also among different final humidity values requested by the user, linking for instance the voltage curve vs. ideal values for interrupting the drying cycle, taking automatically into account the preference of the user and actual load of clothes in the dryer.
- the strip conductivity threshold value for a certain target humidity of the clothes is strictly related to the actual load. Without a precise load assessment according to the present invention, there is the risk that for a small load the drying process is interrupted too early, therefore giving unsatisfactory drying results.
- the algorithm inputs are:
- the output data obtained by any known shape analysis, could be compared using a look up table or a regressor approach.
- the final output is the fabric load estimation.
- the "Shape analysis” stops and the "delta_time_alfa” could be processed by a regressor or a look up table in order to find the fabric load mass.
