Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of household appliances, and particularly relates to a temperature regulation method, device, equipment and medium. Background Technology

[0002] As living standards continue to improve, people's demands for quality of life are also increasing, and this demand is particularly evident in household appliances. Taking dryers as an example, current heat pump dryers use a condenser in the heat pump system to heat air and send it into the drying drum containing clothes. The humid air that has drawn moisture from the clothes is sent back to the evaporator for dehumidification. The dehumidified air is then heated again by the condenser and sent into the drying drum.

[0003] However, in practice, it has been found that this heat pump dryer mainly consists of a compressor, a condenser, and an evaporator. During the heating and drying process, the compressor generates heat to dry the clothes. Although this type of heat pump dryer has the advantage of energy saving, in order to ensure equipment safety, the heating and drying temperature of the dryer is limited, which in turn limits the drying speed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the technical problems of limited heating temperature and limited drying speed in existing heat pump dryers, and provides a temperature regulation method, device, equipment and medium.

[0022] When the temperature parameter is lower than the corresponding third preset threshold, the heater is turned on and the induced draft valve is turned off in the second preset mode, so as to use the heat generated by the compressor and the heater to adjust the heating temperature of the home appliance.

[0023] In this embodiment of the invention, the number of temperature parameters is not limited. When there are multiple temperature parameters, and all of the multiple temperature parameters are lower than the corresponding third preset threshold, the heater can be turned on and the induced draft valve can be turned off in this mode. In this case, the household appliance uses the compressor and heater to generate heat to adjust its own heating temperature, thereby achieving the corresponding heating and drying effect.

[0024] In some embodiments, the operating mode is a third preset mode, and the step of adjusting the heating temperature of the home appliance by correspondingly opening and closing the heater and the induced draft valve in the home appliance according to the temperature parameter in the operating mode further includes:

[0025] When the temperature parameter is lower than the corresponding fourth preset threshold, the heater is disconnected and the induced draft valve is closed in the third preset mode, so as to use the heat generated by the compressor during operation to adjust the heating temperature of the home appliance.

[0026] In this embodiment of the invention, the number of temperature parameters is not limited. When there are multiple temperature parameters, if all of the multiple temperature parameters are lower than the corresponding fourth preset threshold, the heater can be disconnected and the induced draft valve can be closed in this mode. In this case, the home appliance only uses the heat generated by the compressor to adjust its own heating temperature, thereby achieving the corresponding heating and drying effect.

[0027] In some implementations, determining the operating mode of the home appliance includes:

[0028] Acquire ambient temperature and humidity data, as well as temperature and humidity data from the aforementioned home appliances;

[0029] Based on the ambient temperature and humidity data and the temperature and humidity data in the home appliance, the current operating mode of the home appliance is determined.

[0030] In this embodiment of the invention, by analyzing the ambient temperature and humidity data and the temperature and humidity data of the home appliances, the current working mode of the home appliances can be accurately determined, which helps to improve the accuracy of the equipment temperature regulation.

[0031] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention provide a temperature regulating device, comprising:

[0032] An acquisition module is used to acquire temperature parameters of a home appliance, wherein the temperature parameters are used to characterize the temperature parameters of a target component in the home appliance.

[0033] The adjustment module is used to control the opening and closing of the heater and the induced draft valve in the home appliance according to the temperature parameters, so as to adjust the heating temperature of the home appliance.

[0034] According to the temperature parameters of the target component in the home appliance, the present invention controls the opening and closing of the heater and the air vent in the home appliance accordingly, thereby intelligently and conveniently adjusting the heating temperature of the home appliance, achieving the effect of rapid heating and drying, which helps to improve the convenience and safety of temperature adjustment and enhances the user experience.

[0044] In view of the technical problems of limited heating temperature and limited drying speed in existing heat pump dryers, this invention provides a temperature regulation method, device, equipment and medium, which controls the opening and closing of the heater and air valve in the household appliance according to the temperature parameters and working mode of the appliance, so as to regulate the heating temperature of the appliance and achieve the corresponding heating and drying effect.

[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0046] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0047] The temperature regulation method provided in this specification will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0048] Please see Figure 1This is a structural schematic diagram of a household appliance provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The illustrated home appliance 10 includes a power module 101, an electronic control system 102, a compressor 103, an induced draft valve 104, and a heater 105, and optionally, a relay 106. The power module 101 supplies power to the home appliance 10, and the electronic control system 102 controls target components within the appliance, such as controlling the opening and closing of the heater 105 and the induced draft valve 104. The electronic control system 102 also monitors the operation of the compressor 103 and controls the on / off state of the relay 106. Furthermore, the electronic control system 102 can collect and acquire temperature parameters of the target components within the appliance, including but not limited to the exhaust temperature of the compressor 103, the condensing temperature of the condenser (also known as a heat exchanger, not shown), and the heating temperature of the heater 105.

[0049] Optionally, the relay 106 can be used to protect the heater 105. For example, when the current flowing through the relay is large (such as exceeding a preset current), the heater 105 can be disconnected to protect the heater 105 from damage.

[0050] In practical applications, the household appliances involved in this invention can provide heating temperature to achieve heating and / or drying effects. The household appliances may include, but are not limited to, clothes dryers, air conditioners, air coolers, and electric heaters.

[0051] Please see Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart of a temperature regulation method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 The method shown is applied to household appliances, and the method includes the following implementation steps:

[0052] S201. Obtain the temperature parameters of the home appliance, wherein the temperature parameters are used to characterize the temperature of the target component in the home appliance.

[0053] The temperature parameters described in this invention refer to temperature parameters used to describe any one or more target components constituting the home appliance. These may include, but are not limited to, the exhaust temperature of the compressor, the heating temperature of the heater, and the condensing temperature of the heat exchanger, specifically the condensing temperature of the condenser. The number of temperature parameters is not limited; there may be one or more.

[0054] S202. Based on the temperature parameters, control the opening and closing of the heater and the induced draft valve in the household appliance to adjust the heating temperature of the household appliance.

[0055] In one embodiment, the present invention can directly control the opening and closing of the heater and the induced draft valve in the household appliance according to the temperature parameters. For example, when the heating temperature of the heater exceeds a preset temperature threshold, the heater can be disconnected.

[0056] In another embodiment, the present invention may determine the operating mode of the home appliance before step S202.

[0057] The home appliance described in this invention supports multiple operating modes, which can be set according to the user's actual needs. These modes may include, but are not limited to, a first preset mode, a second preset mode, and a third preset mode. Taking a clothes dryer as an example, the first preset mode involved in this invention can be a rapid drying mode, the second preset mode can be a quick drying mode, and the third preset mode can be a regular drying mode. The rapid drying mode involved in this invention refers to an operating mode with a high drying speed or efficiency (e.g., drying speed / efficiency exceeding the corresponding first preset speed / efficiency). The quick drying mode refers to an operating mode with a moderate drying speed or efficiency (e.g., drying speed / efficiency lower than the corresponding first preset speed / efficiency, but exceeding the corresponding second preset speed / efficiency). The regular drying mode refers to an operating mode with a low drying speed or efficiency (e.g., drying speed / efficiency lower than the corresponding second preset speed / efficiency), etc., and this invention does not limit these modes.

[0058] In one specific embodiment, the present invention can receive user interaction instructions, which are used to indicate the desired operating mode of the home appliance. Accordingly, the present invention can obtain the operating mode of the home appliance by parsing the user interaction instructions.

[0059] In another specific embodiment, the present invention can acquire ambient temperature and humidity data and temperature and humidity data in the home appliance (e.g., temperature and humidity data of a clothes dryer). Furthermore, the present invention can analyze the ambient temperature and humidity data and the temperature and humidity data in the home appliance to determine the operating mode of the home appliance. Specifically, the present invention can analyze the magnitude relationship, difference data, or any data among any temperature or humidity data in the ambient temperature and humidity data and the temperature and humidity data in the home appliance to determine the corresponding operating mode. For example, when the temperature data in the ambient temperature and humidity data is large (e.g., greater than a preset temperature), a third preset mode can be selected, such as the regular drying mode of a clothes dryer. When the humidity and temperature data in the ambient temperature and humidity data are average (e.g., within the preset temperature and humidity range, but below the preset temperature), a second preset mode can be selected, such as the fast drying mode of a clothes dryer; conversely, a first preset mode can be selected, such as the ultra-fast drying mode of a clothes dryer. The present invention is not limited to this.

[0060] In an optional embodiment, when the humidity data in the ambient temperature and humidity data is greater than the preset humidity, it indicates that the air is humid, and the heater or the home appliance can be turned off.

[0061] Then, in step S202, the present invention can control the opening and closing of the heater and the induced draft valve in the home appliance according to the temperature parameter and in the determined working mode, so as to adjust the heating temperature of the home appliance.

[0062] In one specific embodiment, when the temperature parameter exceeds the corresponding first preset threshold, the present invention can disconnect the heater and open the air duct in the working mode. At this time, the home appliance can use the heat generated by the compressor to adjust the heating temperature of the home appliance. In other words, in this case, the home appliance uses the compressor to achieve heating and drying effects. For example, a clothes dryer only uses the compressor to dry clothes.

[0063] In practical applications, the number of temperature parameters is not limited; there can be one or more. Typically, in this embodiment, there is usually only one temperature parameter. When there are multiple temperature parameters, if multiple temperature parameters exceed their corresponding first preset thresholds, the heater can be disconnected and the induced draft valve opened in the operating mode. Furthermore, the order in which the multiple temperature parameters are judged is not limited.

[0064] In another specific embodiment, the operating mode is a first preset mode (e.g., the rapid drying mode of a clothes dryer). When the temperature parameter is lower than a corresponding second preset threshold, the present invention can activate the heater and open the air vent valve in the first preset mode. At this time, the appliance can utilize the heat generated by the simultaneous operation of the compressor and the heater to adjust the heating temperature of the appliance. In other words, in this case, the appliance uses the simultaneous operation of the compressor and the heater to achieve both heating and drying effects; for example, a clothes dryer simultaneously uses the compressor and the heater to dry clothes.

[0065] In practical applications, when there are multiple temperature parameters, if multiple temperature parameters are lower than their corresponding second preset thresholds, the heater and induced draft valve can be activated in this operating mode. The order in which the multiple temperature parameters are judged is not limited. For example, taking the temperature parameters as including the compressor's exhaust temperature and the condenser's condensing temperature, when the present invention determines that the compressor's exhaust temperature is lower than a preset first threshold T12-1 and the condenser's condensing temperature is lower than a preset second threshold T13-1, the present invention can activate the heater and open the induced draft valve. In this case, the household appliance can achieve heating and drying effects by simultaneously operating the compressor and the heater. The order in which the compressor's exhaust temperature and the condenser's condensing temperature are judged is not limited. For example, the compressor's exhaust temperature can be judged first, followed by the condenser's condensing temperature; or the condenser's condensing temperature can be judged first, followed by the compressor's exhaust temperature; or both can be judged simultaneously. The present invention does not impose any limitations on this.

[0066] The preset first threshold and the preset second threshold mentioned in this invention can be custom-set, such as experience values ​​set according to user experience. The preset first threshold and the preset second threshold can be the same or different, and this invention does not limit them.

[0067] In another specific embodiment, the operating mode is a second preset mode (e.g., the quick drying mode of a clothes dryer). When the temperature parameter is lower than a corresponding third preset threshold, the present invention can activate the heater and close the air intake valve in the second preset mode. In this case, the appliance can simultaneously utilize the heat generated by the compressor and the heater to adjust its heating temperature. In other words, in this situation, the appliance uses the simultaneous operation of the compressor and the heater to achieve both heating and drying effects; for example, a clothes dryer simultaneously uses both a compressor and a heater to dry clothes.

[0068] In practical applications, when there are multiple temperature parameters, if multiple temperature parameters are lower than the corresponding third preset threshold, the heater can be turned on and the induced draft valve can be turned off in this working mode. Furthermore, the order in which the multiple temperature parameters are judged is not limited. For example, taking the temperature parameters as including the compressor's exhaust temperature and the condenser's condensing temperature, when the present invention determines that the compressor's exhaust temperature is lower than the preset third threshold T22-2 and the condenser's condensing temperature is lower than the preset fourth threshold T23-2, the present invention can turn on the heater and turn off the induced draft valve. In this case, the household appliance can achieve heating and drying effects by simultaneously operating the compressor and the heater.

[0069] In another specific embodiment, the operating mode is a third preset mode (e.g., the conventional drying mode of a clothes dryer). When the temperature parameter is lower than the corresponding fourth preset threshold, the present invention can disconnect the heater and close the air vent valve in the third preset mode. In this case, the appliance can utilize the heat generated by the compressor to adjust its heating temperature. In other words, in this situation, the appliance only uses the compressor to achieve heating and drying effects; for example, a clothes dryer only uses the compressor to dry clothes.

[0070] In practical applications, when there are multiple temperature parameters, if multiple temperature parameters are lower than the corresponding fourth preset threshold, the heater and induced draft valve can be disconnected and closed in this operating mode. Furthermore, the order in which the multiple temperature parameters are judged is not limited. For example, taking the temperature parameters as including the compressor's exhaust temperature and the condenser's condensing temperature, if the present invention determines that the compressor's exhaust temperature is lower than the preset fifth threshold T32-3 and the condenser's condensing temperature is lower than the preset sixth threshold T33-3, the present invention can shut down the heater and close the induced draft valve. In this case, the household appliance only utilizes the compressor to achieve heating and drying effects.

[0071] It should be noted that, according to the present invention, when the heating temperature of the heater exceeds a preset temperature threshold, the heater can be disconnected, that is, the heating process can be stopped. The preset temperature threshold is a system-defined setting, for example, it can be a first preset threshold. Furthermore, the preset third threshold, the preset fourth threshold, the preset fifth threshold, and the preset sixth threshold mentioned in the present invention can all be system-defined settings, and the present invention does not impose any limitations on them.

[0072] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present invention, a clothes dryer is used as an example of the household appliance.
