Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of clothes processing equipment, and particularly relates to a washing machine imbalance detection method, a detection system and a washing machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the washing process of a drum washing machine, the weight, material, and uniformity of the clothes in the drum will have various influences on the control of the washing machine, and a good imbalance detection algorithm is crucial to more effectively control the washing machine to complete the washing task under various load conditions.

[0003] In a conventional control algorithm, the motor drive board detects the imbalance (OOB) value (original value) of the load in the drum and transmits it to the upper computer. The upper computer will limit the maximum speed of the washing machine during spinning according to the received data and the pre-set OOB value range (different OOB value ranges correspond to different maximum speeds). The smaller the OOB value, the greater the allowable maximum speed.

[0004] The disadvantage of this conventional control algorithm is that the control algorithm is rough and does not distinguish the weight of the load in the drum. The same OOB value will exhibit different degrees of imbalance when the weight of the load in the drum is different, the corresponding eccentric weight is different, and the pressure on the drum wall during drum rotation will also be different. In order to ensure the stability of the washing machine, the structural firmness of the washing machine needs to be improved, the maximum speed of the drum is reduced, the cost is increased, and the performance is reduced. That is, the control precision is low, a large design margin is required, and the structure of the whole machine is required to be high.

[0005] In order to improve the control precision, a load weight parameter is added to the control algorithm, that is, the motor drive board detects the size of the load in the drum (original value). First, the load weight is processed in high, medium and low grades (the higher the gear, the greater the load weight); in each gear state, the OOB value range is designed according to the conventional control algorithm, and the maximum speed of the washing machine during spinning is limited in each OOB value range.

[0006] The disadvantages of this general control algorithm are:

[0007] (1) Load weight grading, even if the data is uniformly processed in each load weight range, the same eccentric weight will still exhibit different imbalance (OOB) values due to different load weights in each load weight range.

[0008] (2) consistency is not good, the original value of the load weight in the washing machine cylinder is not equal to the load weight, and the original value of the imbalance (OOB) of the load in the washing machine cylinder is not equal to the eccentric weight; different washing machine models (structural differences, motor model differences, etc.) need to set the imbalance (OOB) value range in each load weight sub-range, and set the corresponding highest speed.

[0009] (3) Any measurement has errors, so near the critical point of different gears, the actual gear and the measured gear may be misaligned, which may cause over-tightening or over-loosening, which can only increase the design margin to solve the problem, which reduces the control accuracy and sacrifices the performance of the whole machine.

[0010] In the same gear, the OOB values of low weight and high weight loads still have a large deviation, and there is a large misalignment between gears, which affects the final spin-drying process control effect. SUMMARY

[0039] A preset correspondence table of eccentric load weight and rotation speed threshold value;

[0040] According to the fitted eccentric load weight, the corresponding rotation speed threshold value is obtained by querying the correspondence table.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, the control module is specifically used for:

[0042] When entering the dehydration procedure, the motor rotation speed corresponding to the selected dehydration gear is obtained;

[0057] In view of the technical problem of complex calculation of the eccentric load weight of the washing machine, the washing machine imbalance detection method, detection system and washing machine are provided, the eccentric load weight m is calculated according to the total load weight M and the load eccentric weight original value B, and then the corresponding rotation speed threshold is obtained, so that the technical problem of complex calculation of the eccentric load weight of the washing machine is solved, and the competitiveness of the washing machine is improved. Next, the washing machine imbalance detection method, detection system and washing machine of the present application will be described in detail in combination with the drawings.

[0058] The washing machine adopts the washing machine imbalance detection method of embodiment one. Specifically, the washing machine imbalance detection method of embodiment one is executed by the controller of the washing machine.

[0059] Embodiment one,

[0060] The washing machine imbalance detection method of the present embodiment mainly includes the following steps, as shown in Figure 1

[0061] Step S1: obtaining the total load weight M and the load eccentric weight original value B.

[0062] The total load weight M in the washing machine drum can be obtained through the weighing function of the washing machine. Before the washing task, the motor is briefly rotated and stopped, the reverse electromotive force generated by the motor is detected, and the size of the reverse electromotive force reflects the size of the total load weight M.

[0063] The total load weight M in the washing machine drum is collected by the motor drive board.

[0064] Moreover, the load eccentric weight original value B is also detected by the motor drive board.

[0065] Step S2: fitting the eccentric load weight m according to the total load weight M and the load eccentric weight original value B.

[0066] Step S3: obtaining the corresponding rotation speed threshold according to the eccentric load weight m.

[0067] The rotation speed threshold is the maximum rotation speed of the motor during dehydration.

[0068] This step specifically includes the following steps, as shown in Figure 2

[0069] Step S3-1: presetting the corresponding table of the eccentric load weight and the rotation speed threshold.

[0070] The eccentric load weight and the rotation speed threshold have a corresponding relationship, the smaller the eccentric load weight, the greater the rotation speed threshold. The corresponding table of the eccentric load weight and the rotation speed threshold is preset and saved.

[0071] Step S3-2: according to the fitted eccentric load weight, querying the corresponding table to obtain the corresponding rotation speed threshold.​​

[0072] By designing S3-1-S3-2, the threshold speed corresponding to the eccentric load weight can be obtained simply, directly and quickly.

[0073] Step S4: In the dehydration process, the motor speed is controlled to be not more than the threshold speed.

[0074] In this step, the following steps are included, see Figure 3 .

[0075] Step S4-1: When entering the dehydration process, the motor speed corresponding to the selected dehydration gear is obtained.

[0076] The motor speed corresponding to different dehydration gears is different.

[0077] Step S4-2: When the corresponding motor speed exceeds the threshold speed, the dehydration gear is lowered until the motor speed corresponding to the dehydration gear does not exceed the threshold speed.

[0078] When the motor speed corresponding to the selected dehydration gear exceeds the threshold speed, the dehydration gear is lowered by one gear. If the motor speed corresponding to the lowered gear still exceeds the threshold speed, the dehydration gear is continuously lowered until the motor speed corresponding to the dehydration gear does not exceed the threshold speed, and then the dehydration is started.

[0079] By designing steps S4-1-S4-2, the dehydration gear is adjusted in time so that the motor speed corresponding to the dehydration gear does not exceed the threshold speed, avoiding that the large motor speed affects the safe operation of the washing machine.

[0080] In the process of the washing machine running, the motor drive board will continuously detect the related data of the load in the drum and transmit them to the controller. The controller will transmit control instructions to the motor drive board according to the collected data according to the control process to control the motor to run.

[0081] The washing machine imbalance detection method of the embodiment obtains the total load weight M and the load eccentric weight original value B, fits the eccentric load weight m according to the total load weight M and the load eccentric weight original value B, obtains the corresponding threshold speed according to the eccentric load weight m, and controls the motor speed to be not more than the threshold speed in the dehydration process. Therefore, the washing machine imbalance detection method of the embodiment does not need to divide the load weight into gears during the working process of the washing machine, directly fits the eccentric load weight m according to the total load weight M and the load eccentric weight original value B, obtains a relatively accurate eccentric load weight m, and then directly determines the threshold speed of the washing machine during dehydration according to the size of the eccentric load weight m, limits the motor speed of the washing machine during dehydration, and solves the technical problem that the eccentric load weight of the washing machine in the prior art is complex to calculate. The eccentric load weight can be obtained simply and accurately.

[0082] In some embodiments of the application, in step S2, the eccentric load weight m is calculated according to the following formula.

[0083] m = (k1*M + b)*B + a; (5)

[0084] where k1, b, and a are fitting constants.

[0085] After obtaining the total load weight M and the load eccentric weight original value B of the washing machine using the motor drive board, the eccentric load weight m is calculated according to the above formula (5).

[0086] The above formula (5) can simply and accurately describe the relationship between the eccentric load weight m and the total load weight M and the load eccentric weight original value B. The eccentric load weight m is directly calculated using the formula, which is simple and convenient.

[0087] The derivation process of formula (5) is as follows:

[0088] In the working process of the washing machine, the greater the load weight in the drum of the washing machine, the greater the load weight original value collected by the motor drive board. When the uniform load in the drum is constant, the greater the eccentric weight, the greater the load eccentric weight original value collected by the motor drive board.

[0089] A ∝ M; (A is proportional to M) (1)

[0090] B ∝ m; (M is constant, B is proportional to m) (2)

[0091] A represents the total load weight original value, B represents the load eccentric weight original value, M represents the total load weight (including the uniform load weight and the eccentric load weight), and m represents the eccentric load weight.

[0092] When the total load weight M is constant, the eccentric load weight m can be represented as:

[0093] m = k*B + a; (3)

[0094] where k is the load eccentric weight original value coefficient, and a is a constant.

[0095] When the total load weight M changes, the value of k changes, and the change relationship is represented as:

[0096] k = (k1*M) + b; (4)

[0097] where k1 is a fitting coefficient, and b is a constant.

[0098] Substituting formula (4) into formula (3) gives:

[0099] m = ((k1*M) + b)*B + a;

[0100] That is, m = (k1*M+b)*B+a; (5)

[0101] In some embodiments of the present application, the calculation process of fitting constants k1, b, and a is as follows:

[0102] When the total load weight takes different values and the eccentric load weight takes different values (different weight eccentric blocks can be used), the washing machine runs the weighing detection and the eccentric detection to obtain the corresponding load eccentric weight original values when the total load weight takes different values and the eccentric load weight takes different values. Then, the curve and the corresponding formula are fitted according to the obtained data to obtain the values of k1, b, and a.

[0103] Through the above process, the values of constants k1, b, and a can be simply, conveniently, and accurately obtained.

[0104] For example, under experimental conditions, the following operations are performed:

[0105] When the total load weight M is the empty bucket weight, under different weights of the eccentric block, that is, the eccentric load weight m takes different values, for example, m is 200g, 400g, 600g, … , 1600g, respectively; the washing machine runs the weighing detection and the eccentric detection to test the size of the corresponding load eccentric weight original value B when M is the empty bucket weight and m takes different values. Then, the uppermost curve in formula (1) and the corresponding curve formula are fitted according to the tested data. Figure 4

[0106] When the total load weight M is 3Kg, when the eccentric load weight m takes 200g, 400g, 600g, … , 1600g, respectively; the washing machine runs the weighing detection and the eccentric detection to test the size of the corresponding load eccentric weight original value B when M is 3Kg and m takes different values. Then, the second curve in formula (2) and the corresponding curve formula are fitted according to the tested data. Figure 4

[0107] When the total load weight M is 6Kg, when the eccentric load weight m takes 200g, 400g, 600g, … , 1600g, respectively; the washing machine runs the weighing detection and the eccentric detection to test the size of the corresponding load eccentric weight original value B when M is 3Kg and m takes different values. Then, the third curve in formula (3) and the corresponding curve formula are fitted according to the tested data. Figure 4

[0108] When the total load weight M is 9Kg, when the eccentric load weight m takes 200g, 400g, 600g, … ​​​, 1600g; the washing machine running weight detection and eccentric detection, test out the corresponding load eccentric weight original value B size when M = 3Kg, m takes different values; then according to the test data fitting out the 4th curve in the formula (1) and the corresponding curve formula. Figure 4

[0109] When the total load weight M = 12Kg, when the eccentric load weight m takes 200g, 400g, 600g, … , 1600g; the washing machine running weight detection and eccentric detection, test out the corresponding load eccentric weight original value B size when M = 3Kg, m takes different values; then according to the test data fitting out the 5th curve in the formula (1) and the corresponding curve formula. Figure 4

[0110] Using the five curves and the corresponding curve formula, the values of k1, b and a can be obtained.

[0111] Therefore, M takes different values (such as empty barrel weight-3kg-6kg-9kg-12kg), and different weight eccentric blocks are selected, that is, m takes different values (200g-400g-600g-…-1600g), the washing machine running weight detection and eccentric detection process is tested to obtain the B value corresponding to different values of M and m; according to the obtained data, each curve in the formula (1) and the curve formula are fitted to obtain the formula coefficients and the values of k1, b and a. Figure 4

[0112] In the control of the drum washing machine, the unbalance (OOB) detection algorithm is a very important link. The present application proposes a new unbalance (OOB) detection algorithm suitable for the unbalance detection of the drum washing machine, so that the drum washing machine can more effectively complete the washing task under different load conditions.

[0113] The washing machine unbalance detection method of the embodiment fits the load weight original value A into the actual load weight (i.e. the total load weight M), and fits the OOB value (i.e. the load eccentric weight original value B) under different load weight positions into the OOB fitting value (i.e. the eccentric load weight m) suitable for the load range in the drum, which is convenient for the whole machine debugging, has high design precision, is applicable to modularization, has high portability and can be standardized for application in different models of drum washing machines and replacement of different computer boards. The program debugging is convenient, has high precision and modular design, and has high portability.

[0114] ​​​The washing machine imbalance detection method of the embodiment, through experimental simulation test, fits the load weighing original value A in the washing machine drum into the actual load weight value (i.e. total load weight M), and then matches and fits the eccentric load weight value with the load out-of-balance (OOB) value (i.e. load eccentric weight original value B) to obtain the OOB fitting value (i.e. eccentric load weight m). In the actual load working process of the washing machine, the load weight is not required to be divided into gears, and the maximum speed of the washing machine during spin-drying is directly limited according to the size of the OOB fitting value.

[0115] The washing machine imbalance detection method of the embodiment fits the load weighing original value A and the OOB original value (i.e. load eccentric weight original value B, which is machine language) into the total load weight M and the eccentric load weight m which are easier to read. The fitting idea of the load weighing original value A into the actual weight value (i.e. total load weight M) changes the machine language into weight which is easier to read. The load weighing original value A and the OOB original value (i.e. load eccentric weight original value B) are fitted into the total load weight M and the eccentric load weight m which have practical significance.

[0116] The washing machine imbalance detection method of the embodiment has the following technical effects:

[0117] (1) The load weighing original value and the OOB original value are fitted into the total load weight M (kilograms: KG) and the eccentric load weight m (grams: G) which have practical significance according to the proportional relationship, which is convenient for intuitive debugging and modular application of the whole machine.

[0118] (2) Different washing machine models, structures, motors and other factors will affect the size of the load weighing original value A and the OOB original value, but the output data after the fitting algorithm processing of the application is the direct eccentric load weight m, which eliminates the influence of uniform load weight and the influence of different machine structures, and can be standardized applied among different machine models.

[0119] (3) Since the output data of the fitting algorithm of the application is standardized, when the computer board of different manufacturers is replaced or upgraded, the complicated debugging process is avoided.

[0136] The working process of the specific washing machine imbalance detection system has been described in detail in the above washing machine imbalance detection method, and will not be repeated here.
