Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for controlling the washing program of a washing machine with a manufactured in an injection molding plastic tub, with a rotatably mounted therein drum, which is driven by a motor with different washing and spin speeds, and with a control device for specifying the engine speeds and other program parameters. Moreover, the invention relates to a washing machine for carrying out such a method.
  • washing tubs and washing dryers increasingly use plastic tubs.
  • washing machines are known for example from DE 298 21 140 U1. It is also known to arrange for washing machines within the tub temperature sensors for controlling the wash liquor temperature
  • JP 04285591 A Patent Abstracts of Japan
  • a washing machine with a vertically rotatable drum within a container in which the drum is to be protected against deformation.
  • the rotating drum used in this washing machine can be softened by the action of hot water, causing it to deform during spinning. This is prevented by stopping the spinning process when the water temperature or drum temperature is exceeded.
  • JP 04117998 A Patent Abstracts of Japan
  • a washing machine with a horizontally rotatable drum within a container in which the drum is to be protected from deformation.
  • the rotating drum used in this washing machine can be softened by the action of hot water, causing it to deform during spinning. If the drum temperature is too high, the drum will be cooled by supplied air, slowly rotating the drum during cooling. After falling below the limit for the drum temperature of the spinning process is continued.
  • US Pat. No. 5,394,582 discloses a method for heating laundry in a washing machine, in which a plurality of sensors for detecting the liquor temperature or the heater temperature are evaluated. Here, the laundry and heater is protected from overheating.
  • Japanese Patent Application JP 2000279684 A discloses a washer-dryer with a drum rotating about a vertical axis, in which Ge Damage to the laundry during the drying process can be avoided.
  • the heated air is adjusted to its temperature by a control unit so that a specified value is maintained.
  • the low-priced materials used in plastic tubs allow only a limited load during spin, which, if exceeded, leads to permanent damage. This is especially true for mechanically heavily loaded areas, such as the back of the tub, in particular the transition from an injected bearing hub to the plastic or the connecting seam of two tub container halves.
  • the operating limits depend on the one hand on material parameters and the tub geometry. An influence of these sizes by larger wall thicknesses or higher value plastic would lead to rising costs and other functional disadvantages, such.
  • the invention thus raises the problem to disclose a method for controlling the washing program of a washing machine of the type mentioned, in which the restrictions imposed by the load limit of the tub material are minimized without changing the component geometry.
  • the material temperature is primarily influenced by the temperature of the wash liquor, the ambient temperature, the program duration, the frequency of use, the drum heater warming, the amount of water and the material heating due to mechanical stress, and today because of the low level of contamination the laundry washing programs are carried out with ever lower time and lye temperature specifications by the user, only extreme conditions (high material temperature and simultaneous high mechanical load) must be prevented.
  • a washing machine for carrying out the method according to the invention has a plastic tub produced in an injection molding process.
  • a drum for receiving laundry is rotatably mounted and is driven by a motor with different washing and spinning speeds.
  • the washing machine has a control device for specifying the engine speeds and other program parameters.
  • Such a washing machine is known for example from the aforementioned DE 298 21 140 U1 and therefore not shown by drawings or described in more detail.
  • Proposed is a direct or indirect temperature monitoring of particularly contaminated points of a plastic tub to reduce the occurrence of critical conditions (excessive material temperatures), the load or the temperature and thus to protect the tub. This can basically be done in two ways:
  • the particularly stressed and endangered points of a plastic tote container are determined.
  • a temperature-measuring sensor is mounted whose signal is detected and evaluated by a measuring and control unit.
  • changes are made in the washing process which leave the component temperature within the permissible range. Variations of this type may include speed reduction, program shortening, wash redistribution, fresh water feed, liquor temperature limit, and the like. ⁇ ., Which then leads simultaneously to a lower temperature or a lower temperature rise rate.
  • One or more sensors can also be placed elsewhere in the tub if the measurements allow reliable conclusions about the temperatures at the critical points.
