Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of washing appliances, and in particular to a mini washing machine and a motor stall detection method and device thereof. Background Art

[0002] Washing machines are essential appliances in modern households, bringing numerous conveniences to people's lives. Currently, most households use large-capacity washing machines, designed to wash the entire family's laundry. However, washing clothes together, such as underwear and baby clothes, poses the risk of cross-contamination. Washing individual or small items of clothing also wastes water and electricity. Consequently, a growing number of users are opting for mini washing machines specifically for these specialized garments.

[0003] Because mini washing machines are relatively small, simple components are used to prevent internal components from taking up too much space for washing clothes. For example, brushless DC water pumps are used as circulation and drainage pumps. However, these brushless DC water pumps do not provide feedback, preventing the washing machine from detecting their true operating conditions. Consequently, if the brushless DC water pump encounters a blockage or other issues during operation, failure to shut down the motor promptly and quickly could damage the motor and the washing machine. Summary of the Invention

[0019] Furthermore, when the mini washing machine performs a rinsing program, if the number of pauses of the circulating pump reaches a set number and the total working time reaches a preset time, the mini washing machine stops working.

[0020] Furthermore, the real-time detection of the working voltage of the DC brushless water pump of the mini washing machine further includes the steps of:

[0021] When the mini washing machine performs a rinsing program, the voltage of the mini washing machine's circulating pump is detected in real time during the intermittent working period.

[0022] Furthermore, the method of determining whether the voltage detected when the DC brushless water pump of the mini washing machine is working is greater than the reference voltage corresponding to the motor of the mini washing machine during the working program currently executed includes the following steps:

[0023] It is determined whether the voltage of the circulation pump of the mini washing machine during each intermittent working time when the mini washing machine performs the rinsing program is greater than the reference voltage corresponding to the circulation pump during each intermittent working time when the mini washing machine performs the rinsing program.

[0044] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be noted that, under the premise of no conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0045] In the subsequent description, suffixes such as "module," "component," or "unit" used to represent elements are only used to facilitate the description of the present invention and have no specific meaning. Therefore, "module," "component," or "unit" can be used interchangeably.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] A method for detecting stalled rotation of a mini washing machine motor, such as Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0048] S1. Obtain the working program currently executed by the mini washing machine. Generally, the full washing process sequence of the mini washing machine is water filling program, washing program, dehydration program, rinsing program, and dehydration program. Users can also select different programs to wash clothes at different stages according to actual needs, such as selecting the rinsing program to rinse clothes and the dehydration program to dehydrate clothes.

[0049] S2. Real-time detection of the voltage of the DC brushless water pump of the mini washing machine when it is working; specifically, the detection of the working voltage includes the following steps:

[0050] The motor drive current is collected through the current detection resistor connected to the DC brushless water pump power supply circuit to obtain the sampling voltage;

[0051] The sampled voltage is amplified by an analog signal to obtain a voltage amplification signal;

[0052] The voltage amplified signal is sampled by AD to obtain the voltage of the DC brushless water pump of the mini washing machine when it is working.

[0053] like Figure 2 The following diagram shows a sampling circuit for a brushless DC water pump without a feedback signal. Current sampling is performed through the R4 current detection resistor, converting the motor drive current into a sampled voltage value. Assuming R4's resistance is 0.3Ω and the normal operating current of the brushless DC water pump is I=800mA, the voltage across R4 is 0.3*0.8=0.24V. For a single-chip microcontroller, 0.24V is too low, so the sampled voltage needs to be amplified by an operational amplifier U1.2 and then sampled through the MCU's AD port. In this embodiment, the circuit is a low-end current detection operational amplifier circuit. The circuit design is such that: R7=R8, R5=R6. When the sampling resistor of R4 is output to the MCU after passing through the op amp: Uout=(I*R4)*(R8 / R5). Assuming R8 / R5=10, then Uout=0.24*10=2.4V, meaning that during normal operation, the MCU sampling voltage is 2.4V. This circuit analyzes the current status of brushless DC water pumps (such as drain pumps and circulation pumps) without signal feedback by detecting the operating current of the water pump. Depending on the operating conditions of the washing machine's water circuit at different stages, when the brushless DC water pump is stalled, the current sensing resistor generates different voltages depending on the pump's operating current, thereby determining the pump's current operating status.

[0054] In one embodiment, the working procedures currently executed by the mini washing machine include water filling procedure, washing procedure, rinsing procedure, and dehydration procedure. At present, the spray device of the drum washing machine is generally set on the sealing window gasket, and the number can be set to be multiple.

[0055] In order to make those skilled in the art understand the present invention more clearly, Figure 3As shown, a method for detecting motor stall during water inflow is exemplarily described, which may include the following steps:

[0056] S21, obtaining that the current working program executed by the mini washing machine is the water filling program;

[0057] S22, collecting the motor drive current through a current detection resistor connected to the circulation pump power supply circuit to obtain a sampled voltage;

[0058] S23, amplifying the sampled voltage through an analog signal to obtain a voltage amplification signal;

[0059] S24. Perform AD sampling on the voltage amplified signal to obtain the voltage of the DC brushless water pump of the mini washing machine when it is working.

[0060] When the washing machine executes the water filling cycle, the circulating pump draws water from the bottom of the outer drum and quickly sprays it onto the clothes in the inner drum. This allows the detergent-mixed wash water to be evenly and quickly applied to the clothes, quickly and evenly soaking them. This speeds up the detergent's ability to fully saturate the clothes and significantly reduces pre-wash preparation time. In this embodiment, when the mini washing machine executes the water filling cycle, the circulating pump stops operating if its operating time reaches a preset duration. During this period, the voltage of the circulating pump is monitored in real time.

[0061] When the washing machine performs a rinse cycle, the circulating pump draws water from the bottom of the outer drum and sprays it onto the clothes in the inner drum, ensuring that the wash water is evenly applied to the clothes. This spraying during the rinsing process reduces the machine's workload and saves water and electricity. In this embodiment, when the mini washing machine performs a rinse cycle, the circulating pump stops operating if its operating time reaches a preset duration. During the rinse cycle, the voltage of the mini washing machine's circulating pump is monitored in real time within the preset duration.

[0062] Because the rinsing process is lengthy, intermittent operation can be configured to reduce the workload of the circulating pump. For example, the circulating pump can be set to operate for a time period of t1, then rest for a time period of t2, then resume operation for a time period of t1, and so on. The specific intermittent operation schedule can be configured based on actual needs. In this embodiment, when the mini washing machine is executing the rinse cycle, if the number of intermittent cycles reaches a set number and the total operating duration reaches a preset time period, the circulating pump stops operating. During the intermittent operation period, the voltage of the circulating pump is monitored in real time.

[0063] At present, some drum washing machines adopt the upper drainage method and use a drainage pump to drain water. In order to make people in this field understand the present invention more clearly, Figure 4 As shown, a method for detecting motor stall during drainage is exemplarily described, which may include the following steps:

[0064] S31, obtaining that the current working program executed by the mini washing machine is a dehydration program;

[0065] S32, collecting the motor drive current through a current detection resistor connected to the drain pump power supply circuit to obtain a sampled voltage;

[0066] S33, amplifying the sampled voltage through an analog signal to obtain a voltage amplification signal;

[0067] S34. Perform AD sampling on the voltage amplified signal to obtain the voltage of the DC brushless water pump of the mini washing machine when it is working.

[0068] S37. When the mini washing machine executes the spin cycle, the water level sensor detects the water level in the outer drum. If the detected water level is less than a preset level, S39. The drain pump is controlled to stop. When the mini washing machine executes the spin cycle, the voltage of the drain pump is detected in real time as the water level continuously decreases to the preset level.

[0069] In one embodiment, the mini washing machine's operating program also includes a cleaning program. At the end of a wash cycle, while the washing machine is performing the cleaning program, the circulating pump sprays detergent foam onto areas of the washing machine, such as the window lining and door glass, to reduce residual detergent foam and the likelihood of subsequent bacterial growth, achieving an antibacterial effect. In this embodiment, when the mini washing machine is performing the cleaning program, the circulating pump stops operating if its operating time reaches a preset duration. During the cleaning program, the voltage of the circulating pump is monitored in real time within the preset duration. During the cleaning program, the water level sensor detects the water level in the outer drum. If the collected water level data is less than the preset water level, the drain pump stops operating. During the cleaning program, the voltage of the drain pump is monitored in real time as the water level continues to decrease to the preset level.

[0070] S3. Determine whether the detected voltage of the DC brushless water pump of the mini washing machine when it is working is greater than the reference voltage corresponding to the motor of the mini washing machine when the working program is currently executed.

[0071] S4. If the detected voltage of the brushless DC water pump during operation is greater than the reference voltage corresponding to the motor of the mini washing machine during the current operation program, it is determined that the brushless DC water pump of the mini washing machine is stalled, and the brushless DC water pump of the mini washing machine is controlled to reach a target speed.

[0072] When the washing machine executes the water-injection cycle, the circulation pump speed is set to a first speed, such as 3000 r / min, to ensure that the wash water mixed with detergent is evenly and quickly sprayed onto the clothes, allowing them to be quickly and evenly soaked, accelerating the detergent's penetration into the clothes and shortening the pre-washing preparation time. At this time, the circulation pump corresponds to a first reference voltage when the mini washing machine executes the water-injection cycle. S25: Determine whether the operating voltage of the mini washing machine's circulation pump during the water-injection cycle is greater than the first reference voltage corresponding to the circulation pump during the water-injection cycle. S26: If so, determine that the circulation pump of the mini washing machine is stalled. S27: Control the circulation pump of the mini washing machine to reach a target speed, such as setting the target speed to 0, or setting another target speed value based on actual conditions.

[0073] When the washing machine performs a rinse cycle, the circulation pump speed is set to a second speed, such as 1000 r / min, to ensure that wash water is evenly sprayed on clothes. This increased spraying during the rinse cycle can reduce the washing machine's workload and save water and electricity. At this time, the circulation pump corresponds to a second reference voltage when the mini washing machine performs a rinse cycle. A determination is made as to whether the operating voltage of the circulation pump during the rinse cycle is greater than the second reference voltage corresponding to the circulation pump during the rinse cycle. If so, the circulation pump is determined to be stalled, and the circulation pump is controlled to reach a target speed, such as 0, or another target speed value as appropriate.

[0074] When the washing machine is performing a rinse cycle and the circulation pump is set to work intermittently, the system determines whether the voltage of the circulation pump during each intermittent working time of the mini washing machine is greater than the reference voltage corresponding to the circulation pump during each intermittent working time of the mini washing machine during the rinse cycle. If so, the circulation pump of the mini washing machine is determined to be blocked, and the circulation pump of the mini washing machine is controlled to reach the target speed, such as setting the target speed to 0, or setting another target speed value according to the actual situation.

[0075] When the mini washing machine is executing a spin cycle, the drain pump speed is set to a third speed, such as 3000 r / min. At this point, the drain pump corresponds to a third reference voltage when the mini washing machine is executing a spin cycle. S35: Determine whether the voltage of the drain pump during operation is greater than the third reference voltage corresponding to the drain pump during the spin cycle. S36: If so, determine that the drain pump of the mini washing machine is stalled. S38: Control the circulation pump of the mini washing machine to reach a target speed, such as setting the target speed to 0 or setting another target speed value based on actual conditions.

[0076] When the washing machine is performing a wash cycle, the circulation pump speed is set to a fourth speed, such as 3000 r / min, to ensure that wash water can be evenly and quickly applied to areas of the washing machine where detergent foam is likely to remain, such as the window lining and door glass, thereby reducing residual detergent foam. At this time, the circulation pump corresponds to a fourth reference voltage when the mini washing machine is performing a wash cycle. A determination is made as to whether the operating voltage of the circulation pump during the wash cycle is greater than the fourth reference voltage corresponding to the circulation pump during the wash cycle. If so, the circulation pump of the mini washing machine is determined to be stalled, and the circulation pump is controlled to reach a target speed, such as 0, or another target speed value as appropriate.

[0077] When the mini washing machine is executing a wash cycle, the drain pump speed is set to a fifth speed, such as 3000 r / min. At this point, the drain pump corresponds to a fifth reference voltage. A determination is made as to whether the operating voltage of the drain pump during the wash cycle is greater than the fifth reference voltage corresponding to the drain pump during the wash cycle. If so, the drain pump is determined to be stalled, and the circulation pump of the mini washing machine is controlled to reach a target speed, such as 0, or another target speed value as appropriate.

[0080] An acquisition unit 101 is used to acquire the working program currently executed by the mini washing machine;

[0082] The judgment unit 103 is used to judge whether the voltage detected when the DC brushless water pump of the mini washing machine is working is greater than the reference voltage corresponding to the motor of the mini washing machine during the working program currently executed. If so, it is determined that the DC brushless water pump of the mini washing machine is blocked and the DC brushless water pump of the mini washing machine is controlled to reach the target speed.
