A laundry washing machine and method utilize a fluid property sensor to sense a fluid property of a fluid during a wash cycle to sense the level of detergent remaining in a load and control a rinse operation performed thereafter based upon the sensed fluid property. In some instances, the fluid property may be sensed while the load is being spun at a rate sufficient to cause fluid to be released from the load such that the sensed fluid property is based at least in part on fluid that was previously absorbed into the load. In addition, in some instances, the fluid property may be sensed during a spin phase of a wash cycle to selectively cause a wash cycle to selectively revert to an additional rinse phase when required, or otherwise proceed directly to the remainder of the spin phase to complete the wash cycle.

Abstract

A laundry washing machine and method automate the selection of various operational settings for a wash cycle based in part on color composition data collected from a load of articles using a color detection sensor. In some instances, the capture of color composition data is triggered by detected weight changes sensed by a weight sensor as the load of articles is added to a wash tub, and is based in part on the detection of a stable weight in the wash tub for at least a predetermined duration. In addition, in some instances, color compensation data may be used to characterize a load of articles based in part on a color decision algorithm that assigns pixels in the color compensation data to different color categories.

Abstract

A power control system includes a current sensor and a control unit. The current sensor is coupled to a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) and is configured to monitor a current profile of the PMSM. The control unit is coupled to the PMSM and a magnetic bearing system. The control unit receives signals associated with the current profile of the PMSM and controls power provided by a main power supply to the PMSM in a first operating mode. In response to detecting a power failure of the main power supply, the control unit determines an estimated rotation speed of the PMSM according to the current profile of the PMSM and generates a first output voltage to power the magnetic bearing system in a second operating mode different from the first operating mode. A value of the first output voltage is generated based on the estimated rotation speed of the PMSM.

Abstract

An energy-saving control method includes obtaining a demand instruction configured to indicate an energy-saving operation and a performing time slot of the energy-saving operation. The energy-saving operation is determined based on load data of a power grid and is configured to reduce a load of the power grid. The method further includes transmitting a first control message configured to control an authorized device to perform the energy-saving operation in response to detecting that time reaches the performing time slot, and transmitting a second control message configured to control the authorized device to stop performing the energy-saving operation in response to detecting that time is outside the performing time slot.

Abstract

The harmonic gear device includes a rigid internal gear, a flexible external gear and a wave generator. The rigid internal gear is an annular component having internal teeth. The flexible external gear is an annular component having external teeth and configured on an inner side of the rigid internal gear. The wave generator is configured on an inner side of the flexible external gear and flexes the flexible external gear. The harmonic gear device is configured to deform the flexible external gear along with the rotation of the wave generator with the rotation shaft as a center, so that some of the external teeth mesh with some of the internal teeth. The flexible external gear thus rotates relative to the rigid internal gear according to the difference in the number of teeth between the flexible external gear and the rigid internal gear.

Abstract

The present application relates to the field of refrigeration, and provides door assembly and refrigeration equipment. The door assembly includes: a door leaf, including a first door body and a second door body, where the first door body is configured to be rotatably connected to an installation part, and the second door body is configured to move toward an opening side or a hinged side of the first door body with respect to the first door body to switch between a sealing position and an avoidance position; the door leaf is configured to switch between a closing state in which the second door body is in the sealing position and an opening state; the second door body is in the avoidance position when the door leaf is switched between the closing state and the opening state. When the door leaf is in a closing state, the second door body is in the sealing position to ensure the sealing effect of the door leaf. When the door leaf needs to be opened or closed, the second door body is in the avoidance position to prevent the movement of the door leaf from being interfered. When the door assembly is applied to a refrigerator, the dependence of a traditional refrigerator on a flipping beam can be changed, and the defect of inflexible division of storage space of a box body can be avoided.
