TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of washing machine control, in particular to a pulsator washing machine washing control method based on a high-power variable frequency motor. BACKGROUND

[0002] The high-power variable frequency pulsator washing machine mainly relies on a variable frequency motor to achieve precise control of the speed and torque by adjusting the motor frequency, and takes into account efficient washing and energy saving and noise reduction. The prior art with publication number CN117684351A discloses a control method and device for a pulsator washing machine and a pulsator washing machine. The method includes determining the target water level when the pulsator washing machine is washing clothes, then performing the water inlet operation, controlling the speed of the motor to rise to the maximum speed value corresponding to the state of no spraying water flow in the pulsator washing machine, and running according to the value. During this process, it is detected whether the pulsator washing machine has reached the critical state of no spraying water flow and spraying water flow, if so, it is detected whether the electrical parameters of the motor exceed the electrical parameter threshold, if so, the motor is controlled to continue running at the maximum speed value to perform the cleaning operation, if not, the motor is controlled to run faster, and then the cleaning operation is performed. The prior art solves the technical problems of uneven detergent dissolution, incomplete washing of clothes, water splashing, and overloading of the motor in the prior art, which leads to reduced service life of the washing machine and poor user experience.

[0003] However, although the high-power pulsator washing machine has stronger cleaning power and can maintain good cleaning effect on large clothes and more clothes, continuous high-power operation not only increases power consumption, but also may cause greater friction between clothes, increasing the wear of clothes. A smaller power may not be able to ensure good cleaning effect when large clothes or a large number of clothes are washed at the same time, so how to control the power consumption of the pulsator washing machine while ensuring the cleaning effect and wear degree of the clothes is a problem to be solved. SUMMARY

The constraint condition includes a control parameter constraint condition, such as a variable frequency motor speed in a set speed interval, a direction conversion period in a set conversion period interval, etc.; a final water quality turbidity in a set turbidity interval, a water quality turbidity change rate (speed, acceleration) in a set change rate (speed, acceleration) interval, a clothes wear degree in a set wear degree interval, a scheme energy consumption in a set energy consumption interval, and a washing time in a set washing time interval, etc.

[0018] Further, the scheme optimal water quality turbidity change rate data is obtained by the following steps:

[0019] For each washing scheme, the washing machine is controlled to wash clothes of the corresponding washing clothes type according to the corresponding scheme optimal control parameter data;

[0020] The corresponding water quality turbidity change rate data is obtained to generate the corresponding scheme optimal water quality turbidity change rate data.

[0021] Further, the scheme obtains the water quality turbidity change rate data of the clothes type by the following steps:

When cleaning according to the autonomously selected cleaning program, steps S5-S6 are no longer executed, but the water quality turbidity change data over time and the water quality turbidity change rate data of the clothes to be cleaned are obtained according to the optimal control parameter data of the autonomously selected initial cleaning program, and it is judged whether the cleaning capacity is excessive or insufficient by comparing the water quality turbidity change rate data of the clothes to be cleaned with the set turbidity change rate threshold value. If it is excessive, the frequency control speed of the variable frequency motor is reduced, and if it is insufficient, the frequency of the variable frequency motor is increased to increase the speed. The current water quality turbidity is obtained through the water quality turbidity change data over time, and the current water quality turbidity is compared with the set cleaning completion turbidity threshold value to judge whether the clothes are clean, so as to dynamically extend or reduce the cleaning time. Finally, the cleaning time needs to meet the constraint condition, i.e. within the set cleaning time interval.

[0057] Referring to Figure 1 A washing control method of a pulsator washing machine based on a high-power variable frequency motor, comprising the following steps:

[0058] S1, according to the type of clothes to be washed, set multiple groups of control parameters to generate multiple washing schemes, each type of clothes to be washed corresponds to the proportion of each material of the clothes to be washed.

[0059] Among them, the type of clothes to be washed is the proportion of all materials of clothes to be washed by the pulsator washing machine at the same time, further, the type of clothes to be washed can be a single material of clothes, that is, the proportion of a certain material of clothes is 1, or it can be a mixture of multiple materials of clothes, that is, the clothes to be washed by the pulsator washing machine contain multiple materials of clothes; further, the proportion of each material of clothes of the type of clothes to be washed can be set by obtaining the proportion of the material of clothes commonly washed together in each season.

[0060] The control parameters are obtained by testing the motor frequency, motor speed, pulsator speed, and rotation direction conversion period of the high-power variable frequency motor and the pulsator when the pulsator rotates to generate various water flow patterns.

[0061] In one embodiment, when setting the control parameters of different washing schemes, the Navier-Stokes equation can be referred to:

[0062]

[0063] ρ is the density of water, v is the water flow velocity vector, p is the water pressure, μ is the dynamic viscosity of water, and f is the driving force of the pulsator;

[0064] By controlling the frequency of the high-power variable frequency motor to control the rotational acceleration, angular velocity and steering sequence of the pulsator, the spatio-temporal distribution of f is adjusted, so that different water flow patterns can be generated: strong turbulence: high angular velocity, high Reynolds number, which can be used to peel off stains; laminar flow: low angular velocity, low Reynolds number, which can be used to reduce the entanglement of clothes.

[0065] For example, the motor frequency can be set to 70-100 Hz, the motor speed to 420-600 RPM, the impeller angular velocity to 44.0-62.8 rad / s, and the forward-reverse switching period to 0.5 s to generate a high-frequency water hammer effect, impact the deep part of the fiber, and improve the cleaning effect on the clothes, especially for oil stains.

[0066] The motor frequency can be set to 50-70 Hz, the motor speed to 300-420 RPM, the impeller angular velocity to 9.4-18.8 rad / s, and the forward-reverse switching period to 1-1.5 s to form a large range of reciprocating water flow, which is suitable for high-intensity detergent dissolution and removal of common stains, and is suitable for general dirty fabrics such as cotton bedding and towels.

[0067] The motor frequency can be set to 15-30 Hz, the motor speed to 90-180 RPM, the impeller angular velocity to 31.4-44.0 rad / s, the one-way duration to 1-2 s, and the rotation stop ratio to 1:1.2-2 to simulate the effect of hand washing, which can balance cleaning and wear;

[0068] The impeller is driven to rotate at different angular velocities and rotation sequences by a high-power variable frequency motor, which can ensure sufficient angular velocity of the impeller when there are many clothes and the weight is large, provide strong turbulent flow and water hammer effect, and ensure the cleaning effect of large and large clothes. Then, according to the set multiple cleaning clothes types, the water turbidity change rate data and the clothes wear degree data of different control parameters in each cleaning stage are tested, and the preliminary control parameters that make the water turbidity change rate data fastest and the clothes wear degree smallest in each cleaning stage during the test process of each cleaning clothes type are obtained. The control parameters used in each cleaning stage correspond to the water flow pattern, which can ensure good cleaning effect and low wear rate when cleaning clothes of the corresponding type, so as to analyze the optimal control parameter data of each cleaning scheme on the basis of the preliminary control parameters, reduce the analysis amount and difficulty during analysis.

[0069] S2, obtaining the optimal control parameter data of each cleaning scheme, the optimal water turbidity change rate data, and the clothes type cleaning water turbidity change rate data of the scheme when cleaning clothes of other cleaning schemes.

[0070] Further, the optimal control parameter data is obtained by the following steps:

[0071] A1, for each cleaning scheme, the impeller washing machine is controlled according to the corresponding control parameters to clean the clothes of the corresponding cleaning clothes type.

[0072] A2, based on optical sensors or turbidity sensors, obtain the water quality turbidity change data in the drum of the pulsator washing machine over time, and first and second derivatives of the water quality turbidity change data are taken to calculate the water quality turbidity change speed data and the water quality turbidity change acceleration data over time, respectively; the corresponding clothes wear data is obtained by collecting the fiber scraps in the washing liquid (weighing / counting), measuring the weight loss / color change using standard abrasive cloth blocks, etc., and the pulsator washing machine power change data over time is obtained by directly reading the electric energy meter or by a power meter, and the energy consumption data when the cleaning clothes turbidity meets the cleaning completion turbidity threshold is obtained through calculation and analysis, to generate the scheme water quality turbidity change rate data, the scheme clothes wear data and the scheme energy consumption data;

[0073] Wherein, the detection of water quality turbidity in the drum of the pulsator washing machine based on optical sensors or turbidity sensors is a known common sense in the prior art, and is directly applied without change, so no specific description is made in this technical solution, and it will not cause any trouble in this technical field.

[0074] A3, based on the scheme water quality turbidity change rate data, the scheme clothes wear data and the scheme energy consumption data of each cleaning scheme, a target function is constructed, which simultaneously satisfies the maximum scheme water quality turbidity change rate data, the minimum scheme clothes wear data and the minimum scheme energy consumption data, and the control parameters corresponding to each cleaning clothes type are solved under the constraint conditions to generate the scheme optimal control parameter data of each cleaning scheme;

[0075] Wherein, the constraint conditions include control parameter constraint conditions, such as the speed of the variable frequency motor in the set speed range, the direction conversion period in the set conversion period range, etc.; the final water quality turbidity in the set turbidity range, the water quality turbidity change rate (speed, acceleration) in the set change rate (speed, acceleration) range, the clothes wear degree in the set wear degree range, the scheme energy consumption in the set energy consumption range, the cleaning time in the set cleaning time range, etc.

[0076] Further, the scheme optimal control parameter data of each cleaning scheme can be obtained by adjusting the parameters based on the preliminary control parameters.

[0077] Further, the scheme optimal water quality turbidity change rate data is obtained by the following steps:

[0078] B1, for each cleaning scheme, the pulsator washing machine is controlled according to the corresponding scheme optimal control parameter data to clean the clothes of the corresponding clothes type;

[0079] B2, the corresponding water quality turbidity change rate data is obtained to generate the corresponding scheme optimal water quality turbidity change rate data.

[0080] Furthermore, the solution obtains data on the rate of change in turbidity of water used for washing different types of clothing through the following steps:

[0081] C1. For each cleaning program, the pulsator washing machine is controlled to clean the types of clothes to be cleaned by other cleaning programs according to the optimal control parameter data of the corresponding program.

[0082] C2. Obtain the water turbidity change rate data for each type of clothing under each cleaning scheme, and generate the corresponding water turbidity change rate data for each type of clothing under each scheme.

[0083] S3. For each cleaning scheme, calculate and process the error and variance of the turbidity change rate data of the water quality for each type of clothing and the optimal turbidity change rate data of the scheme, and generate the scheme-specific cleaning error data and scheme-specific cleaning error variance data for each type of clothing, including the following steps:

[0084] S3.1. For each cleaning scheme, the first and second derivatives of the turbidity change rate data of the water quality for the clothing type and the optimal turbidity change rate data of the scheme are respectively obtained to obtain the turbidity change rate feature, the turbidity change acceleration feature, the optimal turbidity change rate feature, and the optimal turbidity change acceleration feature of the water quality for the clothing type. This generates the turbidity feature vector for the clothing type and the optimal turbidity feature vector, i.e., the turbidity feature vector for the clothing type = (turbidity change rate feature, turbidity change acceleration feature), and the optimal turbidity feature vector = (optimal turbidity change rate feature, optimal turbidity change acceleration feature).

[0085] S3.2 Calculate the error vector between the turbidity feature vector of the water quality for all the cleaning schemes of this cleaning scheme and the optimal water quality turbidity feature vector of the scheme, and generate the error vector of the scheme for the cleaning of clothing type.

[0086] S3.3 Calculate the error norm of the cleaning error vector for each clothing type for each scheme to generate cleaning error data for each clothing type.

[0087] S3.4. Based on the same cleaning plan, calculate the error variance of the clothing type cleaning error data for all plans and generate the clothing type cleaning error variance data for the plan.

[0088] S4. Select the cleaning scheme with the smallest variance in cleaning error data for the corresponding type of clothing as the initial cleaning scheme, and clean the clothing to be cleaned. Obtain the turbidity change rate data of the water quality of the clothing to be cleaned, including the following steps:

[0089] S4.1, compare the cleaning error variance data of all program-to-clothing types for all cleaning programs, and obtain the minimum program-to-clothing type cleaning error variance data;

[0090] S4.2, set the cleaning program corresponding to the minimum program-to-clothing type cleaning error variance data as the initial cleaning program; wherein the initial cleaning program is a cleaning program that the drum washing machine executes by default when performing cleaning.

[0091] In one embodiment, the user can also independently select a cleaning program before the drum washing machine starts cleaning, so that the drum washing machine performs cleaning according to the independently selected cleaning program. When cleaning according to the independently selected cleaning program, steps S5-S6 are no longer executed, but the water turbidity change data over time and the water turbidity change rate data of the clothes to be cleaned are obtained according to the optimal control parameter data of the initial independently selected cleaning program, the cleaning capacity is judged by comparing the water turbidity change rate data of the clothes to be cleaned with the set turbidity change rate threshold value, and the frequency control speed of the variable frequency motor is reduced if the cleaning capacity is excessive, or the frequency of the variable frequency motor is increased if the cleaning capacity is insufficient; the current water turbidity is obtained through the water turbidity change data over time, and the current water turbidity is compared with the set cleaning completion turbidity threshold value to judge whether the clothes are clean, so as to dynamically extend or reduce the cleaning time, and finally the cleaning time needs to meet the constraint condition, i.e. within the set cleaning time interval.

[0092] S4.3, the drum washing machine performs cleaning for a set test duration according to the optimal control parameter data of the initial cleaning program, and obtains the water turbidity change rate data of the clothes to be cleaned. The clothes to be cleaned are one or more clothes that the user actually wants to clean using the drum washing machine.
