Fig. 3 shows the schematic block diagram of the control system of heater according to an embodiment of the invention.
As shown in Figure 3, the control system of heater according to an embodiment of the invention, comprising: central processing unit 302, memory 304, blower fan current sensing means 314, fan control module 310, heater control module 306, blower fan 312, heater 308, display unit 316; Central processing unit 302 is respectively by the operation of heater control module 306 and fan control module 310 control heater 308 and blower fan 312, memory 304 is used for storing the information such as the operation of blower fan 312 and heater 308, blower fan current sensing means 314 is used for detecting blower fan 312 running current, fan control module 310 controls blower fan 312 and runs, heater control module 306 control heater 308 runs, blower fan 312 is lowered the temperature for giving heater 308, heater 308 produces heat for carrying out heating, and display unit 316 shows the information such as fault.
The course of work is as follows: heater 308 is when design, and the minimum current value A0 needing measurement blower fan 312 to run also is stored in memory 304; Operationally, central processing unit 302 first controls blower fan 312 and runs heater, and then blower fan current sensing means 314 detects blower fan electric current, when blower fan electric current is greater than A0, could start heater 308; Real-Time Monitoring blower fan electric current in the operation of heater 308, when blower fan electric current is less than A0, closes heater 308 immediately.This process specifically comprises the following steps:
S0: heater 308 is when design, and the minimum current value A0 needing measurement blower fan 312 to run also is stored in memory 304;
S1: heater 308 starts: when heater 308 starts, central processing unit 302 first controls blower fan 312 and runs, and then blower fan current sensing means 314 detects blower fan electric current, when blower fan electric current is greater than A0, restarts heater 308.
S2: heater 308 runs: operationally, blower fan current sensing means 314 Real-Time Monitoring blower fan electric current, when blower fan electric current is less than A0, central processing unit 302 controls to cut out heater 308 heater 308 immediately, and sends fault message to display unit 316.
S3: heater 308 stops: when heater 308 stops, central processing unit 302 first controls to cut out heater 308, and controls to close blower fan 312 again after blower fan 312 continues to run a period of time (such as 3 minutes, can set according to actual conditions).
Simultaneously, in step sl, if after central processing unit 302 controls fan operation, blower fan current sensing means 314 (such as 3 minutes at the appointed time, can set according to actual conditions) the blower fan electric current that detects all is less than A0, then and central processing unit 302 sends fault message to display unit 316.
In the technical scheme of above-described embodiment, the testing result of blower fan current sensing means 314 also can directly issue heater control module 306, carried out the operation of control heater 308 according to the testing result of blower fan current sensing means 314 by heater control module 306, and without the need to by central processing unit 302; The testing result of blower fan current sensing means 314 can use the method for comparison to realize with comparing of minimum current A0, also can directly use hardware circuit to realize; Data in memory 304 can leave in the memory of heater 308 self, also can leave in can with other devices of heater 308 communication, such as external controller, line control machine, remote controller, mobile phone, intelligent terminal etc., remote network service device etc.
In addition, those skilled in the art it will be appreciated that, the heater mentioned in the present invention can be the electric heater that indoor apparatus of air conditioner uses, also can be the electric heater in gas furnace, wall-hung boiler, warm-air drier, every need by blower fan to the use scenes that heater dispels the heat all be applicable to the present invention propose heater control program.
More than be described with reference to the accompanying drawings technical scheme of the present invention; consider in prior art it is by automatically recovering temperature controller and temperature controller with manual reset realizes overheat protector; but owing to automatically recovering the existence of temperature controller and temperature controller with manual reset own temperature protection error; make in actual use; when protecting generation, or damage may can be caused to other components and parts of surrounding.Therefore, the present invention proposes a kind of control program of new heater, certain value can be reached at the air quantity of blower fan, heater is restarted when namely can effectively dispel the heat to heater, and in the running of heater, carrying out the start and stop of control heater work by detecting the running current of blower fan, effectively prevent heter temperature too high and the element device of surrounding is caused to the problem of damage, improve the security that heater uses.
The foregoing is only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, be not limited to the present invention, for a person skilled in the art, the present invention can have various modifications and variations.Within the spirit and principles in the present invention all, any amendment done, equivalent replacement, improvement etc., all should be included within protection scope of the present invention.
