Detailed Description
To facilitate an understanding of the present application, the present application will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the present application are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. This application may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.
Referring to fig. 1, a heat dissipation control method of a heating apparatus includes step S100, step S200, and step S300.
And step S100, acquiring temperature data of different positions of the heating equipment.
Specifically, each temperature data is obtained by real-time detection of a thermopile provided to the heating device. The type of the heating device is not exclusive, and the heating device may be a cooking appliance such as a steam box, an oven or an electric cooker that performs cooking by heating, or a device that performs other functions by using a heating function. In order to facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the heating device is explained as an oven, and it is to be understood that the oven in the embodiments described below may be replaced by various heating devices. The oven is a sealed electric appliance for baking food or drying products, can cook wheaten food and the like by adopting the oven, is more and more widely used in daily life of people, and brings great convenience to cooking operation of people. The oven heats at its inside heating device of in-process of culinary art, can lead to the heating of each device different degree in the oven, when the temperature that generates heat surpassed certain temperature, will damage each components and parts or produce serious influence to the life of components and parts. Therefore, the oven is generally provided with heat dissipation devices such as a heat dissipation fan and the like to cool the oven, so that the temperature rise of the oven is reduced, and all components in the oven work in a reasonable temperature state. In this embodiment, detect the infrared radiation of oven through the thermopile, obtain the temperature data of different positions in the oven, the surface temperature data of different components and parts in the oven promptly, then combine holistic temperature data to carry out the analysis, carry out heat dissipation control to heat abstractor such as radiator fan, realize the radiating purpose to the oven.
It should be noted that in one embodiment, the thermopile is a matrix infrared thermopile. The matrix infrared thermopile is a temperature data acquisition device based on the Seebeck effect, and because infrared rays are radiated from the surface of any object, the radiation power is increased along with the increase of the surface temperature. After infrared rays radiated by components of an oven of an induction chip (equivalent to a thermocouple) of the thermopile can be converted into voltage signals with different sizes according to the radiation energy, and surface temperature data of the corresponding components can be obtained after further analysis and processing are carried out according to the voltage signals. In the actual working process, the working state and the characteristics of each component in the oven are different, so that the surface temperature data obtained according to the infrared radiation detection are also inconsistent.
Further, referring to fig. 2, the temperature data obtained by collecting the temperature data of different positions of the oven by using the matrix infrared thermopile according to an embodiment is totally 100 temperature data from T0-0 to T9-9, and each temperature data represents a different position point in the oven. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the thermopile may also collect other amounts of temperature data according to the type of the oven, the number of different components in the oven, and the like, as long as it can reasonably represent different temperature changes generated in the operating process of the oven.
And S200, when at least one piece of temperature data meets the corresponding preset starting condition, controlling a heat dissipation device of the heating equipment to be started for heat dissipation, and analyzing the temperature data of different positions of the heating equipment in real time.
Specifically, after the thermopile acquires temperature data to obtain surface temperature data (i.e., temperature data of different positions) of different components in the oven, the controller analyzes each temperature data with a corresponding preset opening condition, and if one of the temperature data meets the preset opening condition corresponding to the temperature data, it indicates that the oven needs to perform heat dissipation operation at the time. At the moment, the controller sends an opening control signal to the heat dissipation device of the oven to control the heat dissipation device to be opened and operated, and the oven is subjected to heat dissipation operation. When the oven begins to carry out the heat dissipation operation, the controller still receives the thermopile and detects the temperature data that obtains in real time to carrying out of oven different positions to each temperature data that obtains detects carries out further analysis, so that in time stop the heat dissipation operation when temperature data reduces to the certain degree, avoid lasting the extravagant electric energy of heat dissipation.
It should be noted that the thermopile collects the surface temperature of each component in the oven when acquiring the temperature data of the oven, and it can be understood that the thermopile is disposed at a position capable of receiving infrared radiation from all components in the oven. In one embodiment, because there is a difference in performance and the like of each component in the oven, the lowest use temperature and the highest use temperature and the like that can be allowed by each corresponding component may also be different. Therefore, the controller stores corresponding preset starting conditions for each temperature data, and after the temperature data are acquired, each temperature data and the corresponding preset starting conditions are compared and analyzed to judge whether each temperature data meets the corresponding preset starting conditions.
In another embodiment, the lowest use temperature and the highest use temperature of each component and the surface temperature which can be reached by each component in the use process of the oven can be combined, the same preset opening condition is set for different temperature data, after the controller receives each temperature data, each temperature data is directly analyzed with the same preset opening condition, as long as one temperature data meets the preset opening condition, the fact that the oven needs to be subjected to heat dissipation operation is indicated, and the control operation of the heat dissipation device of the oven can be achieved through the method.
And step S300, when at least one piece of temperature data obtained through analysis does not meet the corresponding preset closing condition, controlling the heat dissipation device to keep the motor rotating speed running when the heat dissipation device is started. And returning to real time to analyze the temperature data of different positions of the heating equipment.
specifically, when the controller controls the heat dissipation device to be started to perform heat dissipation operation on the oven, the temperature data acquisition operation of the thermopile on the oven is not stopped, and the controller can receive each temperature data sent by the thermopile in real time. At this time, since the heat dissipation device is already in the on heat dissipation state, the controller will determine whether heat dissipation is required to be stopped according to the received temperature data. And analyzing each temperature data obtained after the heat dissipation device is started with the corresponding preset closing condition, and as long as one temperature data does not meet the corresponding preset closing condition, the controller continues to keep the heat dissipation device started and keeps the same motor rotating speed to operate so as to realize the heat dissipation operation of the oven. It should be noted that, for the case that the rotating speed of this type of motor is kept unchanged, the motor suitable for the heat sink is an alternating current motor, and the rotating speed is not adjustable in the operation process. It can be understood that the scheme can also be applied to the fact that the motor of the heat dissipation device is a direct current motor, but the rotating speed of the direct current motor cannot be adjusted in the operation process, and the direct current motor all operate at the same rotating speed.
It can be understood that when the controller controls the heat dissipation device to operate at a stable rotation speed, the controller also receives temperature data of different positions of the oven detected and sent by the thermopile in real time. And analyzing the temperature data of different positions of the oven in real time, judging whether the condition that at least one temperature data does not meet the corresponding preset closing condition still exists, if so, controlling the heat dissipation device to maintain the same motor rotating speed for heat dissipation operation until all the temperature data meet the corresponding preset closing condition.
Further, similar to the preset turn-on condition, in an embodiment, since there is a difference in performance and the like of each component in the oven, the lowest use temperature and the highest use temperature and the like that can be allowed by each corresponding component may also be different. Therefore, the controller stores corresponding preset closing conditions for each temperature data, and after the temperature data are acquired, each temperature data and the corresponding preset closing conditions are compared and analyzed to judge whether each temperature data meets the corresponding preset closing conditions.
in another embodiment, the lowest use temperature and the highest use temperature of each component and the surface temperature that each component can reach during the use of the oven may be combined, the same preset closing condition is set for different temperature data, after the controller receives each temperature data, each temperature data is directly analyzed with the same preset closing condition, and as long as one of the temperature data does not meet the preset closing condition, it indicates that the oven still needs to perform the heat dissipation operation.
In one embodiment, after step S100, the method further comprises: and when the temperature data do not meet the corresponding preset starting conditions, returning to obtain the temperature data of different positions of the heating equipment.
specifically, when the controller performs an operation of determining whether the heat dissipation device needs to be turned on to dissipate heat according to each received temperature data, a situation that each temperature data does not satisfy a preset turn-on condition may occur. At this moment, it is shown that all components in the oven do not reach the requirement of heat dissipation, the corresponding controller does not need to open the heat dissipation device, and only needs to receive and analyze temperature data in real time, so as to respond in time when the temperature changes.
In one embodiment, after step S200, the method further comprises: and when the temperature data obtained by analysis all meet the corresponding preset closing conditions, controlling the heat dissipation device to stop heat dissipation, and returning to obtain the temperature data of different positions of the heating equipment.
Specifically, when the heat dissipation device is turned on to dissipate heat, and the controller continues to analyze the received temperature data and the corresponding preset closing condition, a situation that each temperature data meets the corresponding preset closing condition may occur. At this moment, the surface temperature of each component in the oven is reduced under the heat dissipation operation of the heat dissipation device, the normal working temperature requirement is met, the heat dissipation operation does not need to be continued, and at this moment, the controller sends a closing control signal to the heat dissipation device to control the heat dissipation device to stop running. And after the heat dissipation device stops running, the controller still continuously receives and analyzes the temperature data, analyzes the obtained temperature data and the corresponding preset starting condition, and starts the heat dissipation device again for heat dissipation operation when one temperature data meets the starting condition.
In one embodiment, the preset on condition is that a difference between the temperature data and the corresponding preset temperature threshold is greater than or equal to the corresponding preset on temperature, the preset off condition is that a difference between the temperature data and the corresponding preset temperature threshold is less than or equal to the preset off temperature, and the preset on temperature is greater than the preset off temperature.
Specifically, in this embodiment, each temperature data acquired by the thermopile has corresponding preset temperature data, and when a difference analysis is performed according to the acquired temperature data and a corresponding preset temperature threshold as a determination condition for turning on and a determination condition for turning off, each temperature data has different preset turning-on conditions and preset turning-off conditions. When the analysis is performed, each temperature data needs to be analyzed with the corresponding preset opening condition and the preset closing condition respectively.
For example, referring to fig. 3, in a specific embodiment, the preset turn-on condition is that a difference between the temperature data and the corresponding preset temperature threshold is greater than or equal to a preset turn-on temperature a, and the preset turn-off condition is that a difference between the temperature data and the corresponding preset temperature threshold is less than or equal to a preset turn-off temperature B. Wherein, T (0,0), T (a, b), etc. respectively represent each acquired temperature data, and TF (0,0), TF (a, b), etc. respectively represent a preset temperature threshold corresponding to each temperature data.
In one embodiment, the preset on condition is that the temperature data is greater than or equal to the corresponding preset temperature, and the preset off condition is that the temperature data is less than the corresponding preset temperature.
Specifically, in this embodiment, the working performance of each position (i.e., each component) in the oven is directly analyzed to obtain a critical temperature representing that each component needs to dissipate heat or stop dissipating heat, and when determining whether a preset turn-on condition or a preset turn-off condition is satisfied, the temperature data and the corresponding critical temperature need to be analyzed. When the temperature data is greater than or equal to the corresponding critical temperature, heat dissipation is required, and when all the temperature data are less than the corresponding critical temperature, heat dissipation is not required. Similarly, for different temperature data, the corresponding critical temperatures are inconsistent, that is, the corresponding preset temperatures are inconsistent. It can be understood that, in the scheme of this embodiment, the condition that the preset starting condition is met is that the temperature data is greater than or equal to the corresponding preset temperature, and the condition that the preset starting condition is not met is that the temperature data is less than the corresponding preset temperature; if the preset closing condition is met, the temperature data is smaller than the corresponding preset temperature, and if the preset closing condition is not met, the temperature data is larger than or equal to the corresponding preset temperature.
In one embodiment, the preset on condition is that the temperature data is greater than or equal to the preset temperature data, and the preset off condition is that the temperature data is less than the preset temperature data.
Specifically, in this embodiment, it is further possible that when analyzing the temperature data, all the temperature data are analyzed at a critical temperature, which is similar to the above embodiments in principle that the temperature data are respectively analyzed at the corresponding preset temperatures, and the difference is that the preset temperatures corresponding to the temperature data are the same value, that is, the preset temperature data Tc. The corresponding temperature numbers meet the preset starting condition that all the temperature data are greater than or equal to the preset temperature data Tc, and do not meet the preset starting condition that all the temperature data are less than the preset temperature data Tc; when the temperature data meet the preset closing condition, the temperature data are smaller than the preset temperature data Tc, and when the temperature data do not meet the preset closing condition, the temperature data are larger than or equal to the preset temperature data Tc.
According to the heat dissipation control method of the heating equipment, the thermopile is arranged in the heating equipment, temperature data of different positions of the heating equipment can be collected through the thermopile, and then analysis is carried out according to the temperature data. When one of the temperature data meets the preset opening condition, the heat dissipation device in the heating equipment is controlled to be opened for heat dissipation, the thermopile collects and analyzes the temperature data of different positions of the heating equipment in real time in the process, the heat dissipation device can be kept opened as long as the temperature data of one of the positions does not meet the preset closing condition, the heat dissipation is carried out by the current motor rotating speed operation until all the detected temperature data meet the corresponding preset closing condition. Through the scheme, the heating equipment can be comprehensively subjected to heat dissipation control operation according to the temperature data of each position inside the heating equipment, accurate temperature rise control can be realized under different heating modes of the heating equipment, the condition of uneven heat dissipation is avoided, the service life of each component in the heating equipment is ensured, meanwhile, the motor of the heat dissipation device can be prevented from being started and stopped frequently, and the service life of the motor is prolonged effectively. Compared with the traditional heat dissipation control method, the method has the advantage of strong heat dissipation reliability

The temperature data acquisition module 100 is used for acquiring temperature data of different positions of the heating device.

Specifically, the controller 20 obtains temperature data of different positions of the oven; then, when at least one temperature data meets the corresponding preset starting condition, controlling the heat dissipation device 30 of the oven to be started for heat dissipation, and analyzing the temperature data of different positions of the oven in real time; and when at least one temperature data obtained by analysis does not meet the corresponding preset closing condition, controlling the heat dissipation device 30 to maintain the rotating speed of the motor running when the heat dissipation device is started, and returning to the real-time analysis of the temperature data of different positions of the oven.
each temperature data is detected in real time by the thermopile 10 provided in the oven. The oven is a sealed electric appliance for baking food or drying products, can cook wheaten food and the like by adopting the oven, is more and more widely used in daily life of people, and brings great convenience to cooking operation of people. The oven heats at its inside heating device of in-process of culinary art, can lead to the heating of each device different degree in the oven, when the temperature that generates heat surpassed certain temperature, will damage each components and parts or produce serious influence to the life of components and parts. Therefore, the oven is generally provided with the heat dissipation device 30 such as the heat dissipation fan to cool the oven, so as to reduce the temperature rise of the oven, and enable each component in the oven to work in a reasonable temperature state. In this embodiment, the infrared radiation of the oven is detected by the thermopile 10, so as to obtain temperature data of different positions in the oven, that is, surface temperature data of different components in the oven, and then the data is analyzed by combining the overall temperature data, so as to perform heat dissipation control on the heat dissipation devices 30 such as the heat dissipation fan, and achieve the purpose of heat dissipation of the oven.

At this time, the controller 20 sends an on control signal to the heat dissipation device 30 of the oven, so as to control the heat dissipation device 30 to be turned on and operated, thereby performing a heat dissipation operation on the oven.

Each temperature data obtained after the heat dissipation device 30 is turned on is analyzed with the corresponding preset turn-off condition, and as long as one of the temperature data does not satisfy the corresponding preset turn-off condition, the controller 20 continues to turn on the heat dissipation device 30 while maintaining the heat dissipation device 30 to operate at the current rotation speed. So as to realize the heat dissipation operation of the oven. It should be noted that, for the case that the rotating speed of this type of motor is kept unchanged, the motor suitable for the heat sink 30 is an ac motor, and the rotating speed is not adjustable during the operation. It can be understood that the solution can also be applied to a case where the motor of the heat dissipation device 30 is a dc motor, but the rotation speed of the dc motor is not adjusted during the operation process, and the dc motor operate at the same rotation speed.
in one embodiment, the thermopile is a matrix thermopile.

In the actual working process, the working state and the characteristics of each component in the oven are different, so that the surface temperature data obtained according to the infrared radiation detection are also inconsistent.
Further, referring to fig. 2, the temperature data obtained by collecting the temperature data of different positions of the oven by using the matrix infrared thermopile according to an embodiment is totally 100 temperature data from T0-0 to T9-9, and each temperature data represents a different position point in the oven. It is understood that in other embodiments, the thermopile 10 may also collect other amounts of temperature data according to the type of the oven, the number of different components in the oven, and the like, as long as it can reasonably indicate different temperature changes generated during the operation of the oven.
The heat dissipation control system of the oven is provided with the thermopiles in the oven, and can acquire temperature data of different positions of the oven through the thermopiles and analyze the temperature data according to the temperature data. When one of the temperature data meets the preset opening condition, the heat dissipation device in the oven is controlled to be opened to dissipate heat, the thermoelectric cell collects and analyzes the temperature data of different positions of the oven in real time in the process, the heat dissipation device can be kept opened as long as the temperature data of one of the positions does not meet the preset closing condition, the heat dissipation is carried out by the current motor rotating speed operation, and the temperature data obtained by detection meet the corresponding preset closing condition. Through the scheme, the oven can be comprehensively subjected to heat dissipation control operation according to the temperature data of each position inside the oven, accurate temperature rise control can be realized by the oven under different heating modes, the condition of uneven heat dissipation is avoided, the service life of each component in the oven is ensured, the motor of the heat dissipation device can be prevented from being started and stopped frequently, and the service life of the motor is prolonged effectively.
