本発明は熱風により衣類等を乾燥する乾燥機の制御方法
に関するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for controlling a dryer that dries clothes and the like using hot air.
従来例の構成とその問題点
従来、衣類乾燥機は、北陸地方等の特殊な天候事情の地
域で多く使用されていたが、近年住宅事情の変化により
地域に関係なく一般家庭でも多く使用されるようになっ

イマーの過剰な時間設定によるエネルギーロスが大きい
、又乾燥する衣類の111に応じて、しわの発生防止・
アイロン仕上を行う等の目的で乾燥状態を自由に設定し
たいという要望である。Conventional configuration and its problems Traditionally, clothes dryers were often used in areas with special weather conditions such as the Hokuriku region, but due to changes in housing conditions in recent years, they are now often used in ordinary households regardless of region. It's starting to look like this. Under these circumstances, energy-saving and
Many requests have been raised in terms of usability. In other words, since dryers require a relatively large amount of thermal energy, there is a large energy loss due to excessive setting of the timer.
There is a desire to freely set the drying state for purposes such as ironing.
これらの要望に応える為に、乾燥状態を自動的に判定し
、乾燥機を制御する方法が数多く提案され、一部商品に
も組み込まれているがいずれも−長−短があり、多くの
問題点を持っているのが実状である。In order to meet these demands, many methods have been proposed to automatically determine the drying state and control the dryer, and some methods have been incorporated into some products, but each method has advantages and disadvantages and many problems. The reality is that we have points.
従来、提案されている方法の二つに、電極による衣類の
表面抵抗検知方法がある。この方法は、乾燥庫内に互い
に絶縁された一対の電極を設け、この対をなす電極によ
り衣類の表面抵抗を検知して乾燥状態を検知する方法で
ある。この方法は、衣類の表面状態を直接検知するので
確実な方法といえるが、乾燥庫内の衣類をまんべんなく
検知するには、数多くの電極対が必要となり、大変高価
となるので通常は一対の電極を設けであるにすぎない。Two methods that have been proposed so far include methods for detecting the surface resistance of clothing using electrodes. In this method, a pair of mutually insulated electrodes is provided in a drying cabinet, and the surface resistance of the clothing is detected by the pair of electrodes to detect the dry state. This method can be said to be a reliable method as it directly detects the surface condition of the clothes, but in order to evenly detect the clothes in the dryer, it requires a large number of electrode pairs, which is very expensive. It is merely a provision.
このため、衣類の量1種類が異なると、電極と衣類との
接触状態、接触頻度が異なって乾燥状態の判定を安定し
て行なうことがむつかしい。For this reason, if the amount of one type of clothing differs, the contact state and frequency of contact between the electrode and the clothing will differ, making it difficult to stably determine the dry state.
又、電極間には衣類が乾燥すると発生する静電気が印加
される為に、電極間抵抗を検知する電子回路の破壊等の
心配がある。Furthermore, since static electricity generated when clothes are dried is applied between the electrodes, there is a fear that the electronic circuit that detects the resistance between the electrodes may be destroyed.
又、他の従来例の方法としては、乾燥後から排出される
排気温度によって乾燥状態を判定する方法が提案されて
いる。しかし、この方法は、雰囲気温度の影響により検
出精度が大きく変わる。また、この欠点をなくする為に
、雰囲気温度を検知し、排気温度と雰囲気温度の差で判
定する方法も提案されているが、この方法は、温度検知
素子が2組必要となり価格が高くなるという欠点がある
。Further, as another conventional method, a method has been proposed in which the dry state is determined based on the temperature of the exhaust gas discharged after drying. However, the detection accuracy of this method varies greatly depending on the ambient temperature. Additionally, in order to eliminate this drawback, a method has been proposed that detects the ambient temperature and makes a determination based on the difference between the exhaust temperature and the ambient temperature, but this method requires two sets of temperature sensing elements and is expensive. There is a drawback.
発明の目的
本発明は上記欠点に鑑み、乾燥状態の検出が安定、且つ

より先の目的を達成しようとするものである。Structure of the Invention The present invention provides a method for controlling a dryer that determines the progress of drying based on the rate of change in the exhaust temperature of the dryer detected by an exhaust temperature detection device and the output of a timer that measures the drying time. This is what we are trying to achieve.
実施例の説明
以下本発明の一実施例について、図面を参照しながら説
明する。DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
第1図において、1は乾燥機の衣類等を通して排出され

排気温度の変化率と、タイマー3の出力とを入力とし、
この2つの情報により、乾燥の進行状態を判定する制御
装置である。In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a temperature detection device for the exhaust gas discharged through clothes, etc. of the dryer. 2 is a means for calculating the rate of change in the exhaust gas temperature detected by the exhaust gas temperature detection device 1, and in this embodiment, it includes a timer 3 for measuring drying time, and a distributor 4. It is composed of a storage device 5 and a subtractor 6. 7 inputs the rate of change of exhaust temperature and the output of timer 3,
The control device determines the progress of drying based on these two pieces of information.
次に上記方法で乾燥の進行状態を判定する具体的な方法
について述べる。Next, a specific method for determining the progress of drying using the above method will be described.
一般に乾燥の進行は第2図に示す様に、被乾燥物の温度
が上昇する予熱期間Yと、被乾燥物の温度がほぼ一定で
最も乾燥効率の良い期間の恒率乾燥期間にと、被乾燥物
に含まれた水分の大部分が奪われ再び被乾燥物の温度が

て消費されるので、温度はほぼ一定であるが最も効率良
く除湿が行なわれる。減率乾燥期間Gにおいては、与え
られる熱の消費は、蒸発潜熱に消費される割合が徐々に
減少し、温度−上昇に消費される割合が徐々に増加して
行く。この間の排気温度の上昇は負荷の量によって第3
図〜第5図の様になる。第3図は負荷が軽い場合、第4
図は負荷が中の場合、第5図は負荷が重い場合である。Generally, as shown in Figure 2, the progress of drying is divided into a preheating period Y during which the temperature of the material to be dried rises, and a constant rate drying period during which the temperature of the material to be dried remains almost constant and the drying efficiency is highest. The drying period is divided into a decreasing rate drying period G during which most of the moisture contained in the dried material is removed and the temperature of the dried material rises again. During the preheating period Y, the dried material is hardly dehumidified, and most of the applied heat is consumed to raise the temperature. During the constant rate drying period K, most of the applied heat is consumed as latent heat of vaporization, so dehumidification is performed most efficiently although the temperature remains almost constant. In the decreasing rate drying period G, the proportion of heat consumed by latent heat of vaporization gradually decreases, and the proportion consumed by temperature rise gradually increases. During this period, the rise in exhaust gas temperature can be as high as 3 depending on the amount of load.
It will look like Figure 5. Figure 3 shows that when the load is light, the 4th
The figure shows the case when the load is medium, and FIG. 5 shows the case when the load is heavy.
又この時の乾燥の進み具合は、第6図に示す様になる。The progress of drying at this time is as shown in FIG.
イは負荷が軽い場合9口は負荷が中の場合。A is when the load is light, and 9 is when the load is medium.
ハは負荷が重い場合である。ここで第3図〜第6図と第
6図より、乾燥率と排気温度の関係を図示すると、第7
図の様に負荷のいかんにかかわらずほぼ一つの相関線で
あられされる。C is a case where the load is heavy. Here, from Figures 3 to 6 and Figure 6, the relationship between drying rate and exhaust temperature is illustrated.
As shown in the figure, almost one correlation line is drawn regardless of the load.
つまり予熱期間、恒率乾燥期間、及び減率乾燥期間の温
度の上昇率は布の量・質、つ捷り乾燥の進行スピードと
相関がある。又雰囲気温度が変わった場合は、第8図の
様に雰囲気温度によって相関線は平行シフトした形とな
るが予熱期間、恒率乾燥期間、減率乾燥期間及び温度の
変化率は雰囲気温度に無関係である。In other words, the rate of increase in temperature during the preheating period, constant rate drying period, and decreasing rate drying period is correlated with the quantity and quality of the fabric and the speed at which twist drying progresses. If the ambient temperature changes, the correlation line will shift in parallel depending on the ambient temperature as shown in Figure 8, but the preheating period, constant rate drying period, lapse rate drying period, and rate of change in temperature are independent of the ambient temperature. It is.
よって、温度の変化率、つまり予熱期間、恒率乾燥期間
、もしくは減率乾燥期間の排気温度の上昇率を検出する
ことができれば、乾燥の進行スピードの判定が可能とな
り、雰囲気温度に関係なく、適切な乾燥状態にて機器を
停止する等の制御が可能となる。例えば上記予熱期間、
及び恒率乾燥期間の判定を、排気温度の変化率がある一
定値以下になるまでを予熱期間として判定し、排気温度

くは恒率乾燥期間の終りまでの時間により乾燥終了時間
を予測して機器を停止したり、減率乾燥期間の排気温度
の上昇率つまシ変化率と乾燥時間とにより乾燥の終了を
判定することが出来る。Therefore, if it is possible to detect the rate of change in temperature, that is, the rate of increase in exhaust temperature during the preheating period, constant rate drying period, or lapse rate drying period, it will be possible to determine the speed of drying progress, regardless of the ambient temperature. Control such as stopping the equipment in an appropriate dry state becomes possible. For example, the above preheating period,
The constant rate drying period is determined as the preheating period until the rate of change in the exhaust gas temperature becomes less than a certain value, and then the rate of change in the exhaust gas temperature becomes less than a certain value and again becomes greater than a certain value. The period until the end of the constant rate drying period is judged as the constant rate drying period, and the drying end time is predicted based on the time until the end of the preheating period or the constant rate drying period and the equipment is stopped, or the rate of increase or change in exhaust temperature during the decreasing rate drying period is determined. Completion of drying can be determined based on the drying time and the drying time.
又、第7図と第8図におけるAの点、つまり恒率乾燥期
間から減率乾燥期間へと移る時点での乾燥率は約90%
であるから、乾燥の状態を検知し、乾燥機を制御するの
は実質的には減率乾燥期間において行なえばよい。Also, the drying rate at point A in Figures 7 and 8, that is, the time when the constant rate drying period changes to the decreasing rate drying period, is approximately 90%.
Therefore, it is sufficient to detect the drying state and control the dryer substantially during the lapse rate drying period.
そこで、減率乾燥期間の排気温度の変化率と乾燥時間を
測定するタイマーの積で乾燥の進行状態を判定する方法
であれば、つまり
t−可T≧C・・・・・・ ■
t:時間 T:排気温度
C:定数

となる0■式の意味は、負荷かりに時間tをかけること
により負荷のいかんにt
かかわらず、一定の値Cとの比較により乾燥率の判定を
行なうものである。つまり第3図〜第6図において各々
tO’dtO値が一定の時の乾燥率はtlぼ一定となる
。Therefore, if there is a method of determining the progress of drying based on the product of the rate of change in exhaust gas temperature during the lapse rate drying period and a timer that measures the drying time, that is, t-possible T≧C... ■ t: Time T: Exhaust temperature C: If it is determined that the drying has ended or is in a certain drying state when it is constant, the progress state of drying can be determined without having to judge the preheating period, constant rate - drying period, or lapse rate drying period. The meaning of the formula 0.0 is that by multiplying the load by the time t, the drying rate is determined by comparing it with a constant value C, regardless of the load. That is, in FIGS. 3 to 6, when the tO'dtO value is constant, the drying rate is approximately constant tl.
又、恒率乾燥期間終了までの時間tkにより機器の停止

じる。よってタイマーのカウントのスタート時を、排気
温度の変化率がある一定値以下になる時、つまり恒率乾
燥期間のスタート時とすることにより、より正確な判定
を行なうことができる。In addition, according to the method of determining the time to stop the equipment based on the time tk until the end of the constant rate drying period, that is, if the operating time of the dryer is 1a, then 1 = f (tk), then the time at the end of drying It becomes possible to freely select the drying state. or,
If we assume that the count start of the timer that measures t in the formula and tk above is when the dryer starts operating, then when the dryer is operated continuously, the temperature of the dryer body will be the same as the first time even if the load is the same. Since there is a large difference in the second time, there will be some errors in the progress of drying due to the large difference in the length of the preheating period. Therefore, more accurate determination can be made by setting the timer to start counting when the rate of change in the exhaust gas temperature becomes less than a certain value, that is, when the constant rate drying period starts.

現用能である。Note that the method of determining the rate of change in exhaust gas temperature and calculations with respect to time can be easily and inexpensively realized using microcomputers, which have become available at low cost in recent years. In other words, the timer, distributor, storage device, subtracter, and control device in FIG. 1 can be implemented by a 1+ microcomputer for real/current use.
