¡¡¡¡Under the efforts of the institute leaders, a new
specialty ¡°household appliances¡±, which belongs to the discipline
of ¡°electrical machinery and electrical equipment¡± was set up on the
basis of a traditional major electric automation after the approval
of China Light Industry Ministry and State Household Appliance Bureau.
This specialty is geared to the needs of the light industry and household
appliance industry, training talents for this newly born industry
of our country. After 17 years of continuous construction and development,
it has gradually become a characterized specialty with its features,
advantages, and a teachers group of reasonable knowledge and age frame,
profound theoretical base, creativity and hard¡ªworking spirit. A research
institute which has great influence on discipline development, economic
construction, social science and technology development was built
up. A series of accomplishments were achieved in teaching and scientific
research, most of which even reached the domestic advanced level.
In view of these successes, it was appraised as the ministerial key
discipline in 1997 by the experts¡¯ panel from China Light Industry
Association. In 2000, experts from Henan Province set it as a provincial
key subject.
¡¡¡¡Leaders from the department and institute both attached great importance
to the building and development of this discipline. With more money
invested and favorable policies provided, a good working environment
has been formed. Till now, the institute has invested 560,000RMB in
the main experiment equipment for this discipline and 940,000RMB in
experiment equipment which can show the advantages of this department.
The total areas of all the laboratories is 2200©O. Since 1988 the total
investment in equipment has amounted to 3.2 million yuan and 2.5 million
yuan since 1994. There are 75 computers at its disposal.
¡¡¡¡Currently, there are 45 teachers and researchers, 23 professors
and associate professors, 36 masters and in¡ªservice masters, forming
a well¡ªstructured academic group with high academic levels. The specialty
of electrical machinery and equipment has its obvious professional
features and advantage of combining production study and research
together. There are four sections concerning the information and intelligent
control. The first section mainly studies and develops household networking
central controller. The study of the second section aims mainly at
improving the intelligent household appliances and enabling them to
communicate with the net by using the technology of combining fuzzy
controller with neuron network. The third section involves in the
household information network model on the basis of general computer
technology. It uses field bus distributed intelligent control theory
to solve the special technical problems in household network and assign
relative communication agreement. The fourth section focuses on the
improvement of household appliances¡¯ testing level by digital technology
and electronic products, largely household appliances¡¯ EMC research
and their reliability technology research. Among the above four sections,
fuzzy control and informational household appliances, with great advantages,
have reached a high level in China and made a great difference in
this field both at home and abroad. The fuzzy control section is highlighted
and supported by the State Planning Committee, Science and Technology
Committee of the state and province. For three years, this key scientific
and technological project has received continuous financial support
, which will be carried on in the next 3 years.
¡¡¡¡For years, it always adheres to the priority position of discipline
building and follows the international trend of this discipline. By
attaching equal importance to teaching and research, it makes some
breakthroughs in scientific research. A complete scientific research
system has been formed and significant achievements have been attained
in fuzzy control technology and research of information household
appliances. In recent years, teachers in this specialty have published
more than 160 papers in academic journals both domestic and abroad
and made some research achievements, some of which filled the country¡¯s
blank in that field. Since 1997, this discipline has gained more than
5 million scientific research funds. There are 15 major researchers
working on the research of fuzzy control technology of household appliances.
It was they who have made achievements in the mere 2 years from 1997
to 1999, one of which¡ªrefrigerator fuzzy controller¡ªwas awarded second
prize of Henan Science and Technology Achievement in 1999. Based on
this discipline, the department set up a ¡°Fuzzy Control Technology
Center¡± sponsored by the State Planning Committee. Adhering to the
guiding ideology of combining production, study and research, the
department found a high and new technology enterprise ¡°Zheng Zhou
Hua Yi Science and Technology Development Corporation¡±. By transporting
the latest research achievements to large enterprises like Henan Xin
Fei Corporation and Tinan Jin Xiao Ya Corporation, it not only industrialized
the research achievements, but also gained good economic and social
profits¡ªbringing about more than 2 million benefits.
¡¡¡¡In order to adapt to the development of modern control technology
and to be in accordance with the demands for intelligent household
appliances, this discipline established ¡°intelligent sensor and controller
research room¡±. After 10 years¡¯ development, it has invented many
intelligent sensors as washing machine¡¯s cloth qualities and quantity
sensor, digital resonance water level sensor, infrared turbidity sensor,
and relevant intelligent sensor detector which not only took the place
of imported products and filled in the domestic blank in this field,
but also contributed to the escalation of household appliances in
China.
