Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular to a control method and device for a dual-duct heat pump drying system and a washing machine. Background Art
[0002] In the field of heat pump drying technology, as consumers' requirements for drying efficiency and energy-saving performance continue to increase, the traditional single-duct drying system can no longer meet market demand. Therefore, the dual-duct heat pump drying system, with its independent dual heat source and duct design, has become an important development direction for improving drying efficiency and energy saving. This allows the left and right ducts to be independently or collaboratively controlled according to their respective load characteristics, further improving the flexibility and adaptability of the system.
[0003] In the dual-duct heat pump drying system, the selection of compressors and fans has a direct impact on the drying effect and energy consumption. There are many compressor and fan combination solutions on the market, such as dual fixed-frequency compressors with dual variable-frequency fans, one-side fixed-frequency compressors and one-side variable-frequency compressors with dual fixed-frequency fans, and mixed combinations of variable-frequency and fixed-frequency fans and compressors, all of which show different drying strategies and energy consumption characteristics. These solutions combine the flexible adjustment of variable-frequency technology with the stable output of fixed-frequency technology to achieve the optimal match of temperature, air volume and energy consumption during the drying process.
[0004] However, although the above scheme has achieved certain results in improving drying efficiency and energy saving, the specific control strategy and optimization method for the dual-duct heat pump drying system still needs in-depth research and innovation. In particular, how to formulate a more refined and intelligent drying control algorithm based on the characteristics of different compressor and fan combinations to achieve more efficient energy utilization and better drying performance is an important direction of current technological development.

[0077] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0078] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.
[0079] The present invention proposes a new control method for a dual-duct heat pump drying system. The method fully considers the working characteristics and advantages of different compressor and fan combinations, and realizes precise control and dynamic optimization of the drying process by optimizing the inlet and outlet air temperature cross judgment algorithm and the variable frequency fan and compressor frequency adjustment strategy. The implementation of this technology will significantly improve the energy efficiency ratio and drying efficiency of the dual-duct heat pump drying system, and achieve a more efficient, energy-saving and intelligent drying effect, while promoting the further development and innovation of heat pump drying technology. The following is a detailed description with reference to specific embodiments.
[0080] According to an embodiment of the present application, a dual-duct heat pump drying system control method is provided, referring to Figure 1 , methods include:
[0081] 101: After the drying mode of the equipment is turned on, the working power of each compressor and fan is determined according to the combination of the compressor and the fan in the dual-duct heat pump drying system.
[0082] The dual-duct heat pump drying system control provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied to a device provided with a dual-duct heat pump drying system, and the inlet and outlet of the left and right ducts of the dual-duct heat pump drying system are respectively provided with temperature sensors. The left and right ducts respectively form an air circulation passage with the inside of the device (for example, the clothes processing drum of a washing machine) through their respective inlets and outlets. It should be noted that the device can be any appropriate device such as a washing machine, a dryer, etc.
[0083] The combination of the compressor and the fan of the dual-duct heat pump drying system may include, but is not limited to: dual fixed-frequency compressors with dual variable-frequency fans, one side of the fixed-frequency compressor and one side of the variable-frequency compressor with dual fixed-frequency fans, a group of variable-frequency fans and variable-frequency compressors with a group of fixed-frequency fans and variable-frequency compressors, a group of fixed-frequency fans and variable-frequency compressors with a group of variable-frequency fans and fixed-frequency compressors, and other mixed combinations. Regardless of the combination, the inlet and outlet of the left and right ducts are respectively provided with temperature sensors, which can also be called temperature sensing bags. The structure of the temperature sensing bag is respectively provided for the inlet and outlet of the left and right ducts, which can measure and record the inlet and outlet temperatures in real time, so that the operating system of the equipment can calculate the inlet and outlet cross temperature difference according to the inlet and outlet temperatures, and efficiently and accurately control the operating frequency of the compressor and / or fan according to the inlet and outlet cross temperature difference. It should be noted that the above is only an exemplary list of four combinations of compressors and fans. In the actual implementation process, those skilled in the art can flexibly set the combination of compressors and fans in the dual-duct heat pump drying system according to actual needs.
[0084] After the drying mode of the equipment is turned on, the compressor and fan start-up need to be combined with the combination of the compressor and the fan after startup to flexibly adjust the working power of the compressor and the fan. The combination of the compressor and the fan in the dual-duct heat pump drying system is different, and the adjustment rules for the working power of the compressor and the fan are also different. The operating system of the equipment has preset adjustment rules corresponding to various combinations, so after determining the combination, the adjustment rules for the working frequency of the compressor and the fan can be determined. The operating system can preset the working frequency values of the high, medium, and low frequency gears corresponding to the compressor and the fan respectively. When adjustment is required later, the gear to be adjusted is determined and the compressor or fan is adjusted to the working frequency of the gear to be adjusted.
[0085] For example: when the combination of the compressor and the fan of the dual-duct heat pump drying system is a combination of dual fixed-frequency compressors and dual variable-frequency fans, the variable-frequency fans on both sides are adjusted to run at high frequency (for example, higher than the set frequency); when the combination of the compressor and the fan of the dual-duct heat pump drying system is a combination of a fixed-frequency compressor on one side and a variable-frequency compressor on one side with dual fixed-frequency fans, the variable-frequency compressor on one side is adjusted to run at high frequency; when the combination of the compressor and the fan of the dual-duct heat pump drying system is a combination of a group of variable-frequency fans and variable-frequency compressors with a group of fixed-frequency fans and variable-frequency compressors, the variable-frequency fans and variable-frequency compressors on one side are adjusted to run at high frequency; when the combination of the compressor and the fan of the dual-duct heat pump drying system is a combination of a group of fixed-frequency fans and variable-frequency compressors with a group of variable-frequency fans and fixed-frequency compressors, the variable-frequency fans and variable-frequency compressors on both sides are adjusted to run at high frequency.
[0086] An exemplary dual-duct heat pump drying system structure diagram is shown in FIG. Figure 2 The dual-duct heat pump drying system is a dual-fixed-frequency compressor with a dual-variable-frequency fan. Figure 2 It can be seen that the inlet and outlet of the left and right air ducts are respectively provided with temperature sensors (specifically including two air outlet temperature sensing packages and two air inlet temperature sensing packages). The dual-duct heat pump drying system with a fixed-frequency compressor on one side and a variable-frequency compressor on the other side and dual fixed-frequency fans is similar to it.
[0087] Another exemplary dual-duct heat pump drying system structure diagram is shown in FIG. Figure 3 The dual-duct heat pump drying system is a set of variable frequency fans and variable frequency compressors with a set of fixed frequency fans and variable frequency compressors. Figure 3 It can be seen that the inlet and outlet of the left and right air ducts are also equipped with temperature sensors (including two outlet temperature sensing packages and two inlet temperature sensing packages). A dual-duct heat pump drying system with a set of fixed-frequency fan variable-frequency compressor and a set of variable-frequency fan fixed-frequency compressor is similar to it.
[0088] It should be noted that the number of temperature sensors installed at the air outlet and air inlet of the left and right channels of the dual-duct heat pump drying system is not limited to one, and 2 or 3 temperature sensors can be installed at each outlet, and even the number of temperature sensors installed at each outlet can be different, so as to ensure that the temperature of the air duct inlet and outlet is actually collected.
[0089] The structure provided in this optional embodiment of arranging sensors at the dual-channel inlet and outlet of the dual-duct heat pump drying system has low structural complexity and low cost.
[0090] 102: After entering the drying and heating mode, the first inlet and outlet air temperature crossover temperature difference is calculated based on the measurement values of the temperature sensors set at the inlets and outlets of the left and right air ducts.
[0091] The temperature sensors set at the inlet and outlet of the two channels can detect the temperature value, and the signals fed back by the temperature sensors are all electrical signals. An operating system is set in the settings, and the electrical signals uploaded by each temperature sensor of the operating system are analyzed to obtain the temperature value based on the electrical signals uploaded by each temperature sensor. The temperature values of the two inlets and two outlets are calculated according to the preset calculation rules to obtain the first inlet and outlet temperature cross temperature difference.
[0092] An exemplary method of calculating the first inlet and outlet air temperature cross temperature difference through four sensor temperature values may be:
[0093] The temperature difference between the inlet of the first air duct and the outlet of the second air duct, and the temperature difference between the inlet of the second air duct and the outlet of the first air duct are calculated, and the average value of the two temperature differences is determined as the first inlet and outlet air temperature crossover temperature difference.
[0094] 103: When the first inlet and outlet air temperature crossover temperature difference is less than the first preset temperature value, adjust the operating power of the variable frequency compressor and / or the variable frequency fan according to the first preset rule, and switch to the internal circulation drying mode.
[0095] When the first inlet and outlet temperature cross temperature difference is less than the first preset temperature value, it is determined that the drying temperature is reached and the mode is switched to the internal circulation drying mode. Step 102 is executed repeatedly, and it is determined whether the first inlet and outlet temperature cross temperature difference is less than the first preset temperature value, until the first inlet and outlet temperature cross temperature difference is less than the first preset temperature value, step 103 is executed.
[0096] The first preset temperature value may be expressed as T1. The first preset temperature value may be flexibly set by those skilled in the art, and is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0097] Different combinations of compressors and fans in the dual-duct heat pump drying system result in different first rules for adjusting the working power of the compressors and fans. The operating system of the device has preset first preset rules corresponding to various combinations, so after determining the combination, the first preset rules for the working frequencies of the compressors and fans can be determined, and the working power of the variable frequency compressor and / or variable frequency fan can be adjusted according to the determined first preset rules.
[0098] By adjusting the working power of the variable frequency compressor and / or the variable frequency fan according to the first preset rule, the drying temperature of the dual-duct heat pump drying system can be maintained within a specific drying temperature range without affecting the drying efficiency.
[0099] 104: Calculate a second inlet and outlet air temperature crossover temperature difference based on the measurement values of the temperature sensors arranged at the inlets and outlets of the left and right air ducts.
[0100] The second inlet and outlet air temperature cross temperature difference can be calculated in the same manner as the first inlet and outlet air temperature cross temperature difference, which will not be described in detail here.
[0101] After calculating the second inlet and outlet temperature cross temperature difference, determine whether it is less than the second preset temperature value; if it is less than, it is determined that the drying end has been reached, and the operating power of the variable frequency compressor and / or variable frequency fan can be reduced to save energy and reduce wear on drying items such as clothes. If it is not less than the second preset temperature value, repeat step 104 until the second inlet and outlet temperature cross temperature difference is less than the second preset temperature value, and execute step 105. The second preset temperature value can be expressed as T2, and the second preset temperature value can be flexibly set by those skilled in the art, and there is no specific limitation on this in the embodiments of the present application.
[0102] 105: When the second inlet and outlet air temperature crossover temperature difference is less than the second preset temperature value, adjust the operating power of the variable frequency compressor and / or the variable frequency fan according to the second preset rule until the drying condition is met and the drying is completed.

Temperature sensors are installed at the inlet and outlet of the drying, cooling or heat exchange system, and the inlet and outlet temperatures are measured and recorded in real time. Not only that, the temperature difference is judged based on the cross temperature of the inlet and outlet temperatures, and the frequency method of the variable frequency fan and / or compressor is controlled. The control method can automatically adjust the drying strategy according to the different compressor (fixed frequency / variable frequency) and fan (fixed frequency / variable frequency) configurations of the left and right air ducts to achieve precise temperature and humidity control. To achieve the expected drying and dryness determination purposes.
[0134] According to an embodiment of the present application, a dual-duct heat pump drying system control method is provided, referring to Figure 5 , the method comprising:
[0135] 501: After the drying mode of the equipment is turned on, the variable frequency compressor is adjusted to run at high frequency, and the dual fixed frequency fans and fixed frequency compressor are adjusted to run at fixed frequency.
[0136] The dual-duct heat pump drying system control method provided in this embodiment is applied to equipment equipped with a dual-duct heat pump drying system, and the inlet and outlet of the left and right ducts are respectively provided with temperature sensors.

The variable frequency compressor on one side is adjusted to run at a high frequency, and the dual fixed frequency fans and fixed frequency compressor are adjusted to run at a fixed frequency to enter the drying and heating mode to dry and heat the washing machine drum.
[0138] 502: After entering the drying and heating mode, the first inlet and outlet air temperature crossover temperature difference is calculated based on the measurement values of the temperature sensors set at the inlets and outlets of the left and right air ducts.
[0139] Execute step 502 to dry and heat the inner drum of the washing machine, and calculate the first inlet and outlet air temperature crossover temperature difference at a specific time interval, and determine whether the first inlet and outlet air temperature crossover temperature difference is greater than or equal to a first preset temperature value T1;

Temperature sensors are respectively installed at the inlet and outlet of the drying, cooling or heat exchange system, and the inlet and outlet temperatures are measured and recorded in real time. Not only that, the temperature difference is judged according to the cross temperature of the inlet and outlet, and the frequency method of the variable frequency fan and / or compressor is controlled.
