Abstract

The application relates to a process for controlling and/or regulating a washing machine which contains a continuously working washing-level sensor. It is thereby possible to set a plurality of washing levels which each depend on the quantity of bound liquor and on the washing program (segment). An optimum washing operation thereby becomes possible.

Description

Beschreibungdescription

Verfahren zur Steuerung u:d/oder Regelung eines Waschautomaten (Zusatz zu DBP . ... ... (deutsche Patentanmeldung P 33 29 346.5 vom 13.08.1983) Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Steuerung und/oder Regelung eines Waschautomaten nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.Method for controlling and / or regulating a washing machine (add to DBP. ... ... (German patent application P 33 29 346.5 from August 13, 1983) The invention relates to a method for controlling and / or regulating an automatic washing machine the preamble of claim 1.

Ein derartiges Verfahren ist aus dem Hauptanspruch DBP . ... ... (deutsche Patentanmeldung P 33 29 346.5) bekanllt. Bei dem dort beschriebenen Verfahren wird zunächst diejenige Wassermenge bestimmt, die zum Befeuchten der zu waschenden Wäsche benötigt wird. Diese Wassermenge wird gebundene Flotte genannt. Anschließend wird die wäbrend eines Waschprogrammabschnitts benötigte Wassermenge Zugeführt, die von der Menge der gebundenen Flotte abhängt Der drfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, zu dem gattungsgemäßen Verfahren eine weitere Ausbildung anzugeben Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale. Zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen sind den Unteransprüchen entnchmbar.Such a method is from the main claim DBP. ... ... (German Patent application P 33 29 346.5) known. In the process described there, first of all, the amount of water used to moisten the laundry to be washed is determined is needed. This amount of water is called the bound liquor. Then will the Amount of water required during a washing program section Supplied, which depends on the amount of the bound liquor The underlying task is to provide a further training for the generic method This object is achieved by the characterizing part of the claim 1 specified features. Appropriate refinements can be found in the subclaims.

Die Erfindung beruht @uf der Erkenntnis, daß es unter Verwendung eines kontinuierlich arbeitenden Niveaufühlers (Wasserstand.vmesser) möglich ist, die Menge de. gebundenen Flotte zu ermitteln, z.B. gemäß dem in der Hauptanmeldung beschricbenen Verfahren, und die bei einem Waschprogramm uiid/oder Waschprogrammabschni tt erforderli cheii Waschniveaus zu kontrollieren und gegebeneiifa lls zu korrigieren, z.I3. durch einen Wasserzulauf oder durch Abpumpen einer überschüssigen Wassermenge. Durch ein Auswerten der Waschniveaus ist in vorteilhafter Weise ein optimaler Waschvorgang möglich.The invention is based on the knowledge that using a continuously working level sensor (water level meter) is possible that Amount de. to determine the bound fleet, e.g. according to the description in the main application Process, and the necessary for a wash program / or wash program section Check the washing level and correct it if necessary, e.g. I3. by a water inlet or by pumping out an excess amount of water. Through a Evaluating the washing level is an optimal washing process in an advantageous manner possible.

Ein kontinuerlich arbeitender Niveaufühler beruht beispielsweise auf einem kontinuierlich arbeitenden Druckmesser, welcher den Wasserdruck in der Waschtrommel ermittelt. Dem gemessenen Wasserdruck wird dann ein Waschniveau zugeordnet. Ein solcher Druckmesser enthält z.B. eine durch Druck bewegbare Membran, deren Auslenkungen die Induktivität einer Spule ändern.A continuously operating level sensor is based on, for example a continuously working pressure gauge, which shows the water pressure in the washing drum determined. A wash level is then assigned to the measured water pressure. A Such a pressure gauge contains, for example, a diaphragm that can be moved by pressure, its deflections change the inductance of a coil.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Bei der Ausführung eines Waschprogramms wird zunächst die Menge der gebundenen Flotte bestimml, z.B. gemäß dem in der hauptanmeldung beschriebenen Verfahren. Das dazu erforderliche untere Waschniveau wird durch den erwähnten kontinuierlich arbeitenden Niveaufühler ausgewertet, z.B. mit Hilfe eines Mikroprozessors, der auch den Ablauf des Waschprogramms steuert und/oder regelt. Nach Maßgabe der Menge der gebundenen Flotte und/oder des Waschprogramms werden nun die für jeden Waschprogrammabschnitt benötigten Wassermengen und/oder Waschniveaus berechnet, z.B. anhand von experimetall ermittelten Werten, die in dem Mikroprozessor gesreeichert sind. Durch einen eventuell erforderlichen Wasserzulauf oder durch Abpumpen einer überschüssigen Wassermezige ist es möglich, die berechnete Wassermenge ujid/oder das berechnete Waschniveau einzustellen und somit einen optimalen Waschvorgang zu ermöglichen. Dadurch wird insbesondere eine Verschwendung von Wasser, Energie sowie Waschmitteln vermieden.The invention is illustrated below using an exemplary embodiment explained in more detail. When running a washing program, the first thing to do is to measure the amount the bound fleet, e.g. according to the one described in the main application Procedure. The lower washing level required for this is continuous through the aforementioned working level sensor is evaluated, e.g. with the help of a microprocessor that also controls and / or regulates the course of the washing program. According to the quantity the bound liquor and / or the washing program are now those for each washing program section required amounts of water and / or washing levels are calculated, e.g. based on experimetall determined values that are saved in the microprocessor. Maybe by one required water supply or by pumping out an excess water mezige is it possible to ujid / the calculated amount of water / or the calculated washing level set and thus enable an optimal washing process. This will in particular, waste of water, energy and detergents is avoided.
