In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting of the invention.

It should be further noted that, for the convenience of description, only some but not all of the relevant aspects of the present invention are shown in the drawings. Before discussing exemplary embodiments in more detail, it should be noted that some exemplary embodiments are described as processes or methods depicted as flowcharts. Although a flowchart may describe the operations (or steps) as a sequential process, many of the operations can be performed in parallel, concurrently or simultaneously. In addition, the order of the operations may be re-arranged. The process may be terminated when its operations are completed, but may have additional steps not included in the figure. The processes may correspond to methods, functions, procedures, subroutines, and the like.

Example one

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a control method of a dryer according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the embodiment is applicable to a case where a load temperature in a cooling stage is judged when the dryer finishes operating, and the method may be performed by a control device of the dryer, and the device may be implemented in software and/or hardware. The method specifically comprises the following steps:

and S110, acquiring the current compressor exhaust temperature when the clothes dryer is in a cooling stage.

The current temperature of the exhaust port of the compressor may be measured by arranging a temperature sensor at the compressor of the dryer, or may be other devices that can measure the temperature in the prior art, which is not limited in this embodiment.

Specifically, after the dryer finishes a drying process of the load, the load enters a cooling stage in the dryer, that is, the load passes through a heating stage to be cooled, so that when a user takes out the load from the dryer, the load is prevented from being scalded due to overhigh temperature of the load.

The load can be clothes, bedding, shoes, hats and other articles needing drying in daily life, and the quantity or the weight of the load is generally determined according to the actual throwing of a user.

Further, before obtaining the current compressor exhaust temperature when the clothes dryer is in the cooling stage, the method further comprises the following steps: collecting a sample compressor discharge temperature at which a plurality of loads transition from a heating phase to a cooling phase; and counting the temperatures of the sample compressor exhaust ports, and acquiring the load temperature corresponding to the temperature of each sample compressor exhaust port to generate a load temperature determination table.

It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the load temperature in the dryer is determined according to the compressor exhaust temperature of the dryer, and the determination is performed on the premise that the compressor exhaust temperature and the load temperature obtained through statistics are in a positive correlation relationship, that is, a one-to-one correspondence relationship between the compressor exhaust temperature and the load temperature can be shown in the load temperature determination table.

S120, determining the load temperature in the clothes dryer according to the current compressor exhaust port temperature, and determining an operation instruction corresponding to the load temperature according to the load temperature.

The operation instruction corresponding to the load temperature is used for controlling the clothes dryer to execute corresponding operation, namely, the clothes dryer can be controlled to continue cooling the load, and the clothes dryer can also be controlled to stop cooling the load, wherein the specific operation is determined by the load temperature.

On the basis of the above embodiment, the load temperature may be determined by looking up the load temperature corresponding to the current compressor discharge port temperature in the load temperature table from the load temperature determination table.

Specifically, after the load temperature is determined, the load temperature is compared with a preset load barrel discharging temperature, and if the load temperature is greater than the preset load barrel discharging temperature, an operation instruction corresponding to the load temperature is determined as a cooling instruction; and if the load temperature is less than or equal to the preset load barrel outlet temperature, determining that the operation instruction corresponding to the load temperature is a cooling stop instruction.

The preset load outlet temperature can be automatically set by the clothes dryer according to a self-defined proper temperature, or can be selectively set by a user according to the requirement of an actual load, and the clothes dryer can be connected with a far-end server, so that after big data statistics is carried out through the far-end server, intelligent recommendation is carried out on the current load by the current user.

And S130, controlling the clothes dryer to respond to the operation instruction.

Specifically, if the operation instruction corresponding to the load temperature is determined to be a cooling instruction, the clothes dryer is controlled to cool the load according to the cooling instruction; and if the operation instruction corresponding to the load temperature is determined to be a cooling stop instruction, controlling the clothes dryer to stop cooling the load according to the cooling stop instruction.

It should be noted that, the cooling time of the general clothes dryer in the cooling stage is automatically set, and although a long cooling time may be set, it cannot be guaranteed that the load temperature can reach below the preset load tub temperature at the end of the cooling time.

Specifically, the cooling time of the clothes dryer in the cooling stage is determined, and if the cooling time is greater than the preset cooling time, the clothes dryer is controlled to stop cooling the load.

Further, after the dryer stops cooling the load, the method further includes: and controlling the clothes dryer to send drying end prompt information to a user when the clothes dryer is determined to stop cooling the load.

The clothes dryer can send drying end prompt information through a user terminal bound with the clothes dryer, the user terminal can be a smart phone, a tablet personal computer and the like, and the user terminal is bound with the clothes dryer through a communication network and the like.

The drying end prompt information can include identification information of the clothes dryer, drying end time and other information, can be displayed on the user terminal in a prompt box or other forms, and can also give prompt tones to prompt in a sound mode through the user terminal.

According to the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, the temperature of the exhaust port of the current compressor is obtained when the clothes dryer is in a cooling stage; determining the load temperature in the clothes dryer according to the current temperature of the air outlet of the compressor, and determining an operation instruction corresponding to the load temperature according to the load temperature; and controlling the clothes dryer to respond to the operation instruction. The problem of load conglomeration that the load is more among the prior art leads to is great to load temperature detection error, and the load is less probably leads to the sensor to detect the too dry problem that the load probably dries of lagging load to realize succinctly timely carrying out accurate judgement to the load temperature, with the accurate termination of confirming the dryer cooling process of accuracy, practice thrift the cost simultaneously.

Example two

Fig. 2A is a flowchart of a control method of a clothes dryer according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The present embodiment is optimized based on the above embodiments.

Correspondingly, the method of the embodiment specifically includes:

s210, collecting sample compressor exhaust port temperatures when a plurality of loads are converted from a heating stage to a cooling stage.

S220, counting the exhaust port temperatures of the sample compressors, and acquiring the load temperature corresponding to the exhaust port temperature of each sample compressor to generate a load temperature determination table.

Fig. 2B is a graph illustrating a relationship between a discharge temperature of a compressor and a temperature of a load-tap according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 2B, it can be seen that, in the cooling stage after the heating is stopped, both the compressor exhaust port temperature and the load barrel exhaust port temperature are reduced, and there is a positive correlation between the load barrel exhaust port temperature and the compressor exhaust port temperature, so that the load temperature corresponding to the compressor exhaust port temperature of each sample can be obtained by counting the sample compressor exhaust port temperatures to generate the load temperature determination table.

It should be noted that, because the compressor exhaust port temperature and the load temperature in the cooling stage of the clothes dryer are not completely consistent, the sample compressor exhaust port temperature in the load temperature table may be equal to or lower than the compressor exhaust port temperature actually collected in the sample. For example, the lowest value T1 of the compressor outlet temperature corresponding to the load outlet barrel temperature falling below the safety limit is determined according to a lot of tests, the compressor outlet temperature limit T2 may be determined according to T1 (T2 ≦ T1), i.e., the compressor outlet temperature limit T2 is generated to correspond to the load outlet barrel temperature to generate a load temperature determination table for storing in the memory of the dryer.

And S230, acquiring the current compressor exhaust temperature when the clothes dryer is in a cooling stage.

And S240, confirming the load temperature corresponding to the current compressor exhaust temperature from the load temperature determination table.

And S250, if the load temperature is higher than the preset load discharging temperature, determining that the operation instruction is a cooling instruction.

And S260, controlling the clothes dryer to cool the load according to the cooling instruction.

According to the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, based on the prior art that the heat pump type clothes dryer can improve the efficiency of the heat pump system, some temperature sensors are arranged at positions such as the exhaust of a compressor and the outlet of a condenser to detect the state of the drying process of the heat pump type clothes dryer, and the heat pump system is correspondingly controlled to work according to the temperature value and the temperature change of a monitoring point. In this embodiment, the temperature sensor is arranged at the exhaust port of the compressor of the clothes dryer, so that the temperature of the exhaust port of the compressor is detected, and the temperature value of the exhaust port of the compressor is used for indirectly monitoring the load temperature in the drum clothes dryer.

EXAMPLE III

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a control method of a clothes dryer according to a third embodiment of the present invention. The technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention is further optimized on the basis of the embodiment. The method of the embodiment specifically includes:

S330, acquiring the current compressor exhaust temperature when the clothes dryer is in a cooling stage.

And S340, confirming the load temperature corresponding to the current compressor exhaust temperature from the load temperature determination table.

And S350, if the load temperature is less than or equal to the preset load discharging temperature, determining that the operation instruction is a cooling stop instruction.

And S360, controlling the clothes dryer to stop cooling the load according to the cooling stop instruction.

On the basis of the embodiment, in the cooling stage after the drying of the clothes dryer is finished, whether the load meets the barrel discharging requirement can be determined by judging whether the current temperature of the air outlet of the compressor is lower than the temperature limit value T2 of the air outlet of the compressor, and if the current temperature of the air outlet of the compressor is lower than the temperature limit value T2 of the air outlet of the compressor, the cooling is finished, and a user is reminded of finishing the drying; if the current compressor discharge temperature is above the compressor discharge temperature limit T2, cooling continues until the current compressor discharge temperature is below the compressor discharge temperature limit T2, or a set upper cooling time limit (e.g., 15min) is reached.

Further, a cooling time of the dryer in the cooling stage may be determined, and if the cooling time is greater than a preset cooling time, the dryer is controlled to stop cooling the load.

And S370, when the clothes dryer is determined to stop cooling the load, controlling the clothes dryer to send drying end prompt information to a user.

According to the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, the load temperature is indirectly judged by utilizing the temperature of the exhaust port of the compressor to determine the end point of the cooling stage of the clothes dryer, compared with the logic that the temperature sensor is arranged at the position of the outlet barrel of the clothes dryer, the logic of the outlet barrel of the clothes dryer is the same and simple, and in addition, compared with the clothes dryer without the end of the load temperature judgment, the embodiment of the invention is more friendly and has better user experience.
