Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to a clothes dryer. BACKGROUND

[0002] The clothes dryer is a device for quickly drying wet clothes. The clothes dryer comprises a cabinet and a door body. The cabinet is provided with a feeding opening, and the door body is used to open or close the feeding opening. When the clothes dryer is working, the door body must be kept closed to ensure that hot air does not leak out, thereby ensuring the drying effect. When the clothes dryer stops working, the user needs to open the door to take out the clothes. Since the door is generally tightly closed to ensure the drying effect during drying, the user generally needs to use a large pulling force to open the door.

[0003] At present, the door opening and closing of the clothes dryer usually adopts a mechanical or electronic switch. When the door opening and closing is a mechanical switch, the user needs to pull the door opening and closing device with a certain pulling force. When the door opening and closing is an electronic switch, the electronic switch comprises a sensor and a control circuit. When the user approaches the clothes dryer, the sensor detects the presence of the user and automatically opens the door through mechanical transmission.

[0004] However, when the door opening and closing is a mechanical switch, the user needs to have a certain arm strength. For special groups with poor arm strength, it is difficult to open the door body. In addition, since the size of the pulling force needs to be estimated by oneself, too small or too large pulling force will bring discomfort. For users who pursue smooth experience, the experience is not good.

[0005] When the door opening and closing is an electronic switch, the control algorithm is complex, and the fuzzy algorithm adopted in the prior art has the problems of inaccurate operation logic and insufficient control precision. If the precision is to be improved, a large amount of single-chip machine resources needs to be consumed. The PID control is not suitable for a nonlinear and time-varying control system.

[0006] Therefore, the present application provides a clothes dryer. SUMMARY

[0111] The dryer further includes a drying drum 12, which is arranged in the cabinet 1, wherein the drying drum 12 is rotatably arranged in the cabinet 1.

[0117] At present, the opening of the door body of the clothes dryer requires a certain arm strength of the user, and for special groups with poor arm strength, there is a certain difficulty in opening the door body. In addition, since the pulling force needs to be estimated by the user, too small or too large will bring discomfort to the user, and the experience of the user who pursues smooth experience is poor. Alternatively, the clothes dryer often misjudges the opening intention of the user to cause the door to be opened when it is not needed to be opened.

[0118] Therefore, the clothes dryer further comprises an auxiliary door opening module 4, wherein the auxiliary door opening module 4 is arranged in the cabinet, and the auxiliary door opening module 4 is used to apply an air thrust to the door body to unlock the door body and the door lock.

[0127] In some embodiments of the present application, the power source can be a pump body, wherein the power source can be a small pump.

[0128] In some embodiments of the present application, the pressure reducing device is a pressure reducing valve.

[0129] In some embodiments of the present application, the pressure regulating device is a proportional pressure regulating valve. Figures 5-6 The auxiliary switch module further comprises a pressure sensor 46, the pressure sensor 46 is arranged on the box body, and the pressure sensor 46 is used to detect the interaction force F0 between the door body and the box body.

[0130] The auxiliary switch module further comprises a first air pressure sensor 471 and a second air pressure sensor 472.

[0131] The first air pressure sensor is used to detect the pressure value of the air between the pilot port of the relay valve and the pressure regulating device, and the pressure value detected by the first air pressure sensor is recorded as a pilot pressure.

[0132] The second air pressure sensor 472 is used to detect the pressure value of the air between the air outlet of the relay valve and the pressure channel, and the pressure value detected by the second air pressure sensor 472 is recorded as an output pressure.

[0138] By monitoring the interaction force F0 between the door body and the cabinet and controlling the pressure regulating device to increase the pressure or to keep the pressure unchanged when the interaction force F0 decreases and the interaction force F0 is less than the first preset interaction force, the pilot valve can generate air with a certain pressure to apply force to the door body to open the door body. By monitoring the interaction force F0 between the door body and the cabinet, it can be determined whether the user has an intention to open the door, and when the interaction force F0 decreases, it is proved that the user does have some action on the door body, and when the interaction force F0 is less than the first preset interaction force, it is proved that the user does have an intention to open the door. Therefore, when the interaction force F0 decreases and the interaction force F0 is less than the first preset interaction force, the pressure is increased or kept unchanged, and the pilot valve outputs air, which can avoid the door from being opened when it is not needed to be opened due to misjudgment of the user's intention to open the door, thereby improving the accuracy of the intention to open the door and improving the user experience.

In this way, the moisture of the clothes in the clothes containing cavity is carried away by the drying airflow, so that the moisture on the clothes is separated from the clothes, so as to realize the drying of the clothes.

[0195] Specifically, referring to Figures 8-10In the embodiment, the drying device is arranged in the lower air duct 113, and the drying device comprises a condenser 142 and an evaporator 141. The condenser 142 is arranged on the side of the evaporator 141 close to the upper air inlet 121 of the drying cylinder 12. The condenser 142 is used to heat the air in the drying air duct 11 to form a high-temperature drying air flow.

The specific type, size, resolution, etc. of the display are not limited, and those skilled in the art can understand that the display can be changed in performance and configuration as needed.

[0201] The display can be used to display the control panel of the clothes dryer 100 or the running information of the clothes dryer 100. The clothes dryer displays the running information of the clothes dryer, such as the running time of the clothes dryer and the running program of the clothes dryer.

[0202] Wherein, whether to open the door body of the clothes dryer can be operated through the control panel, when it is needed to open, the controller controls the power source to work, the pressure regulating device to increase pressure or maintain pressure, and the relay valve to output air with pilot pressure and act on the door body, so that the door body is opened.

[0206] Reference Figures 11-20In some embodiments of the present application, the controller is configured to obtain an actual pressure value F2' through the pilot pressure or the output pressure.

[0207] The difference between the preset interaction force F2 and the actual pressure value F2' is defined as an error e.

[0208] The error change rate measured after a preset interval is defined as ec;

[0209] According to the error e and the error change rate ec, the proportional adjustment term ΔP, the integral adjustment term ΔI and the differential adjustment term ΔD are obtained in sequence through the fuzzy control logic and the inverse fuzzy control logic.

[0210] The proportional adjustment term ΔP, the integral adjustment term ΔI and the differential adjustment term ΔD are substituted into the PID control to obtain an output u.

[0211] According to the value of the output u, the energization states of the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve are controlled, and the pressure increasing, pressure maintaining or pressure reducing of the pressure regulating device is controlled through the energization states of the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve.

The pilot pressure detected by the first air pressure sensor is the pressure in the pipeline between the pilot port of the relay valve and the pressure regulating device, and the output pressure detected by the second air pressure sensor is the pressure in the pipeline between the air outlet of the relay valve and the pressure channel. According to the pressure and the cross-sectional area of the corresponding pipeline, the pressure in the corresponding pipeline is obtained.

Based on the fuzzy grade of the error and the fuzzy grade of the error change rate, the corresponding proportional adjustment term Δ is obtained through the third logic. The fuzzy grade of the integral adjustment term Δ and the fuzzy grade of the differential adjustment term Δ Figure 17 The third logic is the corresponding relation in the table.

[0249] The fuzzy inference further comprises a fourth logic.

[0252] According to the membership relation corresponding to the error e, the error change rate ec and the proportional adjustment term Δ , the first fuzzy output quantity up1 is obtained through the fourth logic.

[0253] According to the membership relation corresponding to the error e, the error change rate ec and the integral adjustment term Δ , the second fuzzy output quantity ui1 is obtained through the fourth logic.

[0254] According to the membership relation corresponding to the error e, the error change rate ec and the differential adjustment term Δ , the third fuzzy output quantity ud1 is obtained through the fourth logic.

[0255] In this embodiment, the calculation of the proportional adjustment term Δ is taken as an example, and the calculation of the integral adjustment term Δ and the differential adjustment term Δ is the same as the calculation of the proportional adjustment term Δ , which is not described here.

[0256] In this embodiment, E=10, A1=10, B1=10, C1=10, D1=10, a=4, b=3, e=8 and ec=8.8 are defined.

[0257] According to the first logic operation, y=(a / E)·e=(4 / E)·e=(4 / 10)·8=3.2 is obtained, and y is rounded to 3.

[0258] According to the second logic operation, z = (b / A1) ec = (3 / A1) ec = (3 / 10) 8.8 = 2.64, z is rounded to 3.

[0259] According to the membership relation of the universe of discourse of the error change rate fuzzy grade and the error change rate fuzzy subset, when y is 3, the error e activates the fuzzy grade PB, the membership is 0.5, and the error e activates the fuzzy grade PS, the membership is 0.5. When z is 3, the error change rate ec activates the PB, the membership is 1, and the unactivated membership does not participate in the operation.

[0260] According to the membership relation of the universe of discourse of the error e, the error change rate ec, and the proportional adjustment term ΔKp, the fourth logic operation is used to obtain the first fuzzy output quantity up1. Figure 17 According to the error e and the error change rate ec, it can be known that the fuzzy grade of the proportional adjustment term ΔKp is NB, the fuzzy grade of ΔKp is NM. According to the membership relation of the universe of discourse of the error e, the error change rate ec, and the proportional adjustment term ΔKp, the fourth logic operation is used to obtain the first fuzzy output quantity up1.

[0261] The fourth logic operation further includes: taking the intersection of e and ec, which means taking the smaller value of the two values.

[0262] According to the intersection relation of e and ec, if the fuzzy grade of e is PB, e = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.5, 1} and the fuzzy grade of ec is PB, ec = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1}, according to the fuzzy control logic, the unactivated membership does not participate in the operation, and the corresponding operation result of taking the intersection of e and ec is 0.5. The fuzzy grade of ΔKp is NB, ΔKp = {1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}, and the intersection of ΔKp and 0.5 is {0.5, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}.

[0263] If the fuzzy grade of e is PS and the fuzzy grade of ec is PB, at this time, e = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.5, 1, 0.5, 0}, ec = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1}, according to the fuzzy control logic, the unactivated membership does not participate in the operation, and the corresponding operation result of taking the intersection of e and ec is 0.5. The fuzzy grade of ΔKp is NM, ΔKp = {0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}, and the intersection of ΔKp and 0.5 is {0.5, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}.

[0264] If the fuzzy grade of e is PS and the fuzzy grade of ec is PB, at this time, e = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.5, 1, 0.5, 0}, ec = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1}, according to the fuzzy control logic, the unactivated membership does not participate in the operation, and the corresponding operation result of taking the intersection of e and ec is 0.5. The fuzzy grade of ΔKp is NM, ΔKp = {0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}, and the intersection of ΔKp and 0.5 is {0.5, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}. ​​​The intersection with 0.5 gives {0, 0.5, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}.

[0265] Finally, the union of the two results is taken to obtain the first fuzzy output up1, i.e., {0.5, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0} U {0, 0.5, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0} = {0.5, 0.5, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}. The union U represents taking the larger value of the two values. The first fuzzy output up1 = {0.5, 0.5, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}.

[0266] Since the first fuzzy output up1 obtained above is a fuzzy quantity, the control of the controlled object cannot be completed, and a proportional adjustment term △ is obtained through the inverse fuzzy control logic.

[0267] Using the barycentric method, an intermediate value Q is calculated according to the first fuzzy output up1, and an eighth logic operation is performed on the intermediate value Q and the maximum boundary value B1 of the proportional adjustment term △ to obtain the first fuzzy output up1.

[0268] up1 = {0.5, 0.5, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}, and Q is calculated by the barycentric method as .

[0269] The fifth logic operation includes: △ = (B1 / c)·Q = (10 / 3)·(-2.5) = -8.33, i.e., △ = -8.33.

[0270] Similarly, the integral adjustment term △ and the differential adjustment term △ can be obtained through the above logic.

[0271] The proportional adjustment term △ , the integral adjustment term △ , and the differential adjustment term △ are brought into the PID control to obtain the output u. According to the positive or negative value of the output u, the energization states of the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve are controlled, and the pressure regulating device is controlled to increase, maintain, or decrease the pressure through the energization states of the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve.

[0272] In the present application, the error e and the error change rate ec are fuzzified, and the first fuzzy output up1, the second fuzzy output ui1, and the third fuzzy output ud1 are obtained after fuzzy reasoning. The proportional adjustment term △ The second fuzzy output ui1 is de-fuzzified to obtain the integral adjustment term Δ The third fuzzy output ud1 is de-fuzzified to obtain the differential adjustment term Δ The output u is calculated by PID control, and the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve are controlled to be powered on or powered off according to the value of the output u, so as to control the pressure regulating device to increase, decrease or maintain the pressure. The application avoids the complex modeling process and the influence of items such as friction that cannot be accurately modeled by using a fuzzy algorithm, does not depend on the accurate mathematical model of the controlled object, simplifies the system complexity, and makes the control of the auxiliary door opening module more simple.

[0273] In this embodiment, the PID control includes: the controller controls to calculate the output u (k) at this time after a preset interval, and u (k) is the value of the output u calculated after the kth counting.

[0274] The proportional constant , the integral constant and the differential constant are set in advance. The error e and the error change rate ec are calculated multiple times and counted.

[0275] The proportional constant is added to the proportional adjustment term Δ to obtain the proportional term , the integral constant is added to the integral adjustment term Δ to obtain the integral term , and the differential constant is added to the differential adjustment term Δ to obtain the differential term .

[0276] In this embodiment, the proportional term is multiplied by the error e of the kth time to obtain the proportional parameter. The integral term is multiplied by the sum of the errors e of the first time to the kth time to obtain the integral parameter. The differential term is multiplied by the difference between the error of the kth time and the error of the (k-1)th time to obtain the differential parameter.

[0277] The proportional constant , the integral constant and the differential constant are constants, and the proportional constant , the integral constant and the differential constant are set as fixed values, that is, when the output u is calculated, the proportional constant , the integral constant and the differential constant does not change with the error e.

[0278] the proportional constant , the integral constant and the differential constant The values of the proportional constant, the integral constant and the differential constant can be preset by the user in the controller.

[0279] In this embodiment, the formula of the PID control is as follows:

[0280]

[0281] k represents the calculation result of the kth time of the controller timing interrupt, k≥1, represents the value of the accumulation of all errors e from the 1st to the kth time of the computer, represents the error of the kth time, is a constant.

[0282] In this embodiment, the controller is configured to: after a preset time interval, perform operations according to the error e, the proportional term , the integral term and the differential term to obtain the value of the kth output u.

[0283] In this embodiment, the preset time interval can be set to 1 ms, that is, the controller timing interrupt and the calculation of u(k) are performed once every 1 ms.

[0284] When the output u is greater than 0, the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve are energized, and the pressure regulating device is pressurized.

[0285] The output u has a maximum value u1 and a minimum value u2, and it can be set that when u1>u>0, the controller controls the pressure regulating device to pressurize first and then maintain pressure. As the value of u becomes larger and larger, the proportion of pressurization becomes larger and the proportion of pressure maintenance becomes smaller. That is, the larger the value of u, the larger the proportion of pressurization and the smaller the proportion of pressure maintenance. The pressurization proportion and the pressure maintenance proportion can be represented by the pressurization time and the pressure maintenance time. When u=u1, the controller controls the pressure regulating device to be in a pressurization state all the time.

[0286] When the output u is equal to 0, the first electromagnetic valve is de-energized and the second electromagnetic valve is energized, and the pressure regulating device is pressurized. It can be set that when the output u is approximately equal to 0, it is considered that the output u is equal to 0 at this time.

[0287] When the output u is less than 0, the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve are de-energized, and the pressure regulating device is depressurized.

[0288] It can be provided that when u2

[0289] The proportion range of the pressure reduction proportion and the pressure maintaining proportion can be self-defined, or the pressure reduction proportion and the pressure maintaining proportion can be controlled to change uniformly through a linear function.

[0290] In some embodiments of the present application, when the difference between the pilot pressure detected by the first air pressure sensor and the output pressure detected by the second air pressure sensor is greater than a preset difference, the controller prompts that the relay valve is damaged and needs to be replaced or repaired in time.

[0291] In some embodiments of the present application, when the interaction force F0 is equal to 0, it indicates that the door body has been opened at this time, or the change range of F0 is less than or equal to F 定 , which indicates that the pulling force does not meet the requirements at this time, representing that the auxiliary door opening module is not needed to open the door at this time, and the door opening device needs to be cleared to 0 at this time, i.e., the door state flag is equal to 0, which represents that the door does not need to be opened at this time.

[0292] When the change range of F0 is greater than F 定 , it indicates that the auxiliary door opening module needs to be controlled to open the door at this time, and the door opening device needs to be set to 1 at this time.

[0293] The auxiliary door opening module is in a pressure reduction state when the door does not need to be opened, and the PID control is started to control the output force to meet the preset interaction force F2 when the door needs to be opened.

[0294] In some embodiments of the present application, the clothes dryer adopts a single-chip microcomputer as hardware, and the single-chip microcomputer interacts with a WIFI module through a UART serial port communication, so as to realize the bidirectional communication between the mobile phone terminal and the single-chip microcomputer. When the controller detects a relay valve fault, the controller transmits the information of the relay valve fault to the cloud and the mobile phone terminal through the WIFI module, so as to notify the user.

[0295] The controller can also transmit the state information of the door body opening or closing to the cloud and the mobile phone terminal through the WIFI module, so as to facilitate the user to check.

[0296] The user can issue a door opening flag through the mobile phone terminal software, transmit the door opening information to the controller through the cloud and the WIFI module, and control the automatic opening of the door body through the controller.

[0297] The IO output of the single-chip microcomputer is realized through the GPIO port, and then the opening and closing of the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve are controlled.

[0298] The application detects the pilot pressure between the relay valve pilot port and the pressure regulating device through the first air pressure sensor, converts the analog signal of the pilot pressure collected by the first air pressure sensor into a digital signal through an analog-digital converter, and then calculates the error e.

[0299] The output pressure between the air outlet of the relay valve and the pressure channel is detected through the second air pressure sensor, the analog signal of the output pressure collected by the second air pressure sensor is converted into a digital signal through an analog-digital converter, and then the error e is calculated.

[0300] The application detects the interaction force F0 between the door body and the box through the pressure sensor, and converts the interaction force F0 from an analog signal to a digital signal through an analog-digital converter.

[0301] The application combines fuzzy control logic with PID control, which can not only exert the advantages of fuzzy algorithm in nonlinear, time-varying and parameter uncertain systems, but also has the control advantages of high precision of PID control algorithm, ensuring the fast, accurate and stable output of the opening force of the auxiliary door opening module
