건조기 펌프 제어방법 {Dryer and Method of controlling for Dryer pump}Dryer pump method {Dryer and Method of controlling for Dryer pump}

본 발명은 수위센서를 적용한 건조기 펌프 제어방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a dryer pump control method using a water level sensor.

종래의 의류 건조기는 의류가 건조됨에 따라 생기는 수분이 배수로를 따라 응축수통에 저장되고, 센서가 저장된 물의 적정 높이를 감지하면 펌프를 작동시켜 배수구로 물을 빠지게 하였다. 그런데, 상기의 의류건조기는 센서가 반복적으로 작동하면서 펌프를 구동시킴에 따라 센서의 수명이 줄어들게 되는 문제점이 있었다.In the conventional clothes dryer, the moisture generated as the clothes are dried is stored in the condensate bucket along the drainage path, and when the sensor senses an appropriate height of the stored water, the pump is operated to drain the water into the drain. However, the clothes dryer has a problem that the life of the sensor is reduced as the sensor is repeatedly operated to drive the pump.

본 발명은 전술한 문제를 해결하기 위한 것으로, 센서의 사용빈도를 줄여 센서의 수명을 연장하고, 갑작스런 물의 증가에 따른 누수를 방지할 수 있는 건조기 펌프 제어방법을 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.An object of the present invention is to provide a method for controlling a dryer pump that can reduce the frequency of use of a sensor to extend the life of the sensor and prevent leakage due to a sudden increase in water.

전술한 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 발명의 건조기 펌프 제어방법은 센서가 응축수통의 수위를 감지하는 제1단계와, 상기 수위에 의해 배수가 필요하다고 판단되면 펌프가 작동하고, 배수가 완료되었거나 배수가 필요하지 않은 경우 펌프를 오프하는 제2단계와, 상기 펌프가 오프된 후 제1대기시간이 경과하면 정해진 시간 동안 펌프가 작동된 후 오프되는 제3단계와, 상기 펌프가 오프된 후 제2대기시간이 경과하면 정해진 시간 동안 펌프가 작동된 후 오프되는 제4단계를 포함하되, 상기 제2대기시간은 상기 제1대기시간보다 긴 것을 특징으로 한다.Dryer pump control method of the present invention for achieving the above object is the first step of the sensor to detect the water level of the condensate tank, and if it is determined that drainage is necessary by the water level, the pump is operated, drainage is completed or drainage A second step of turning off the pump if not necessary; a third step of turning off the pump for a predetermined time when the first waiting time elapses after the pump is turned off; and a second waiting after the pump is turned off. When the time elapses, a fourth step of turning off after the pump is operated for a predetermined time, characterized in that the second waiting time is longer than the first waiting time.

또한, 본 발명의 건조기 펌프 제어방법은 상기 제3단계의 펌프 작동시간보다 제4단계의 펌프 작동시간이 짧은 것을 특징으로 한다.In addition, the dryer pump control method of the present invention is characterized in that the pump operating time of the fourth stage is shorter than the pump operating time of the third stage.

또한, 본 발명의 건조기 펌프 제어방법의 상기 제2단계 내지 제4단계 중에 도어열림 또는 건조완료시, 상기 제1단계로 리턴되는 것을 포함한다.The method may further include returning to the first step when the door is opened or completed during the second to fourth steps of the dryer pump control method of the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, and the same parts as in the prior art will be referred to the related art, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

본 발명의 건조기 펌프 제어방법은 센서가 응축수통의 수위를 감지하는 제1단계와(S10), 상기 수위에 의해 배수가 필요하다고 판단되면 펌프가 작동하고, 배수가 완료되었거나 배수가 필요하지 않은 경우 펌프를 오프하는 제2단계(S20)와, 상기 펌프가 오프된 후(S20) 제1대기시간(W1)이 경과하면(S30) 정해진 시간 동안 펌프가 작동된 후 오프되는 제3단계(S40)와, 상기 펌프가 오프된 후(S40) 제2대기시간(W2)이 경과하면(S50) 정해진 시간 동안 펌프가 작동된 후 오프되는 제4단계(S60)를 포함하되, 상기 제2대기시간(W2)은 상기 제1대기시간(W1)보다 긴 것을 특징으로 한다.
In the dryer pump control method of the present invention, the sensor detects the water level of the condensation water tank in the first step (S10), and when it is determined that drainage is required by the water level, the pump is operated and drainage is completed or drainage is not necessary. After the pump is turned off (S20) and the first waiting time (W1) has elapsed (S30), the pump is operated for a predetermined time and then turned off (S20). And after the pump is turned off (S40), if the second waiting time (W2) has elapsed (S50) includes a fourth step (S60) is turned off after the pump is operated for a predetermined time, the second waiting time ( W2) is longer than the first waiting time W1.

도 1은 본 발명의 건조기 펌프 제어방법에 따른 순서도이다.1 is a flow chart according to the dryer pump control method of the present invention.

본 발명의 건조기의 동작과 건조기 펌프 제어방법에 대해 설명하면 다음과 같다.Referring to the operation of the dryer of the present invention and a dryer pump control method as follows.

사용자가 드럼 내에 건조하고자 하는 의류를 넣고 작동 버튼을 누르면, 제어부에서는 모터 및 히터 및 드럼 및 팬의 구동을 지시하게 된다. When the user puts clothes to be dried in the drum and presses an operation button, the control unit instructs the driving of the motor, the heater, the drum, and the fan.

의류의 가열 및 건조 과정시, 고온 고습한 공기가 응축기에 응축되어 발생된 응축수는 응축수통에 유입되어 저장된다. During the heating and drying of clothes, condensate generated by hot and humid air is condensed in the condenser and stored in the condensate container.

이와 같은 상태에서, 센서가 응축수통의 수위를 감지한다.(S10)In this state, the sensor detects the water level of the condensate bottle.

상기 수위에 의해 만수위인지 배수가 필요하다고 판단되면 (S10) 정해진 시간 동안 펌프가 작동되고, 배수가 완료되었거나 배수가 필요하지 않은 경우 펌프는 오프된다.(S20)If it is determined that the water level is drained by the water level (S10), the pump is operated for a predetermined time, and the pump is turned off when the drainage is completed or the drainage is not necessary. (S20)

이때, 상기 펌프의 작동 시간은 펌프의 용량 또는 응축수통의 크기에 따라 실험에 의해 정해질 수 있다.At this time, the operating time of the pump may be determined by experiments depending on the capacity of the pump or the size of the condensate bottle.

상기 펌프가 오프된 후,(S20) 제1대기시간(W1)이 경과했는지의 여부를 판단한다.(S30) After the pump is turned off (S20), it is determined whether the first waiting time (W1) has elapsed. (S30)

상기 제1대기시간(W1)이 경과한 후,(S30) 정해진 시간 동안 펌프가 작동된 후 오프된다.(S40) After the first waiting time W1 has elapsed (S30), the pump is operated and then turned off for a predetermined time (S40).

이때, 상기 제1대기시간(W1)이란 펌프가 작동되지 않고 대기하고 있는 시간을 의미한다.In this case, the first waiting time (W1) refers to the time that the pump is idle without waiting.

상기 펌프가 오프된 후(S40), 상기 제2대기시간(W2)이 경과했는지의 여부를 판단한다.(S50)After the pump is turned off (S40), it is determined whether the second waiting time (W2) has elapsed. (S50)

상기 제2대기시간(W2)이 경과한 후,(S50) 정해진 시간 동안 펌프가 작동된 후 오프된다.After the second waiting time W2 has elapsed (S50), the pump is turned off after being operated for a predetermined time.

도 2에서 보는 것과 같이, 건조가 진행될수록 응축수통에 있는 물의 양은 점점 줄어들기 때문에, 상기 제2대기시간(W2)은 상기 제1대기시간(W1)보다 길게 구성되는 것이다.As shown in FIG. 2, as the drying proceeds, the amount of water in the condensate bottle gradually decreases, so that the second waiting time W2 is configured to be longer than the first waiting time W1.

상기 펌프의 동작은 응축수통에 채워진 물이 비워질 때까지 작동되도록 구성된다.The operation of the pump is configured to operate until the water filled in the condensate bottle is emptied.

또한, 상기 제2단계(S20) 내지 제4단계(S60) 중 도어가 열리거나 건조가 완료되었다고 판단이 되면, 상기 제1단계(S10)로 리턴된다.In addition, when it is determined that the door is opened or the drying is completed in the second step (S20) to the fourth step (S60), it is returned to the first step (S10).

또한, 상기 도어 열림 또는 건조 완료는 의류의 상태에 따라, 사용자의 선택에 따라 좌우될 수 있다.In addition, the door opening or drying completion may depend on the user's selection, depending on the state of the clothing.

또한, 상기 제3단계(S40)의 펌프 작동시간보다 제4단계(S60)의 펌프 작동시간이 짧도록 구성되는 것이 바람직하다.In addition, the pump operating time of the fourth step (S60) is preferably configured to be shorter than the pump operating time of the third step (S40).

또한, 본 발명의 배수완료는 펌프의 작동시간에 의해 결정하는 것을 포함한다.In addition, the completion of drainage of the present invention includes determining by the operating time of the pump.

즉, 본 발명은 센서의 감지를 최소화하여 센서의 수명에 대한 신뢰도를 높일 수 있고, 정해진 시간에 따라 펌프가 작동하므로 갑작스런 물의 증가에 따른 누수를 방지할 수 있다.
That is, the present invention can minimize the detection of the sensor to increase the reliability of the life of the sensor, the pump is operated according to a predetermined time can prevent the leakage due to the sudden increase in water.

상술한 바와 같이, 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예를 참조하여 설명하였지만, 해당기술분야의 당업자는 하기의 특허청구범위에 기재된 본 발명의 사상 및 영역으로부터 벗어나지 않는 범위 내에서 본 발명을 다양하게 수정 또는 변형하여 실시할 수 있다. As described above, although described with reference to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, those skilled in the art various modifications or variations of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention described in the claims below Can be carried out.
