Description

Prozessgesteuertes Haushaltgerät mit einem Anzeigedisplay für TexteProcess-controlled household appliance with a display for texts
Die Erfindung betrifft ein prozessgesteuertes Haushaltgerät mit einer Einrichtung, durch die dem Arbeitsprozess Zusatzmittel zugeführt werden können, deren Dosierung von einer Bedienungsperson vorgenommen werden muss, mit einem Mikrocomputer und mit einem Anzeigedisplay für Texte, in dem auch ein Anzeigefeld für die Anzeige der im Arbeitsprozess voraussichtlich erforderlichen Zusatzmittelmenge vorhanden ist. Ein derartiges Haushaltgerät ist aus der DE 39 32 170 A1 bekannt. Das dortige Anzeigefeld einer Wasch- oder Geschirrspülmaschine kann zwar, abgesehen von weiteren hier nicht näher zu berücksichtigenden Informationen, durch ihre Anzeige eine prognostizierte Waschmittel-Dosierungsempfehlung geben. Diese Prognose ist aber im Hinblick auf unterschiedlichste, im Markt befindliche Waschmittel lediglich als Durchschnittswert zu se- hen, was der Bedienungsperson selten klar ist. Folglich werden die meisten der automatisch ablaufenden Wasch- oder Spülprozesse mit einer fehlerhaften Wasch- oder Spülmittelzugabe betrieben. Der Kunde wird im allgemeinen ein Standard-Waschmittel verwenden, muss aber die Dosierungsempfehlung erst interpretieren lernen; er ist mit der angezeigten Dosierungsempfehlung nicht viel besser bedient, als mit den Angaben auf der Wasch- oder Spülmittelverpackung.The invention relates to a process-controlled household appliance with a device through which additives can be added to the work process, the metering of which must be carried out by an operator, with a microcomputer and with a display for texts, in which a display field for the display of the work process is also expected required amount of additive is present. Such a household appliance is known from DE 39 32 170 A1. The display field there of a washing machine or dishwasher can, apart from further information which is not to be taken into account here, give a forecast detergent dosage recommendation through its display. However, this prognosis can only be seen as an average value with regard to the most diverse detergents on the market, which is rarely clear to the operator. As a result, most of the automatic washing or rinsing processes are operated with an incorrect addition of washing or rinsing agent. The customer will generally use a standard detergent, but must first learn to interpret the dosage recommendation; it is not much better served with the dosage recommendation displayed than with the information on the detergent or dishwashing packaging.
Es kommt im Gegensatz dazu aber darauf an, für jedes von vielen unterschiedlichen Behandlungsprogrammen und Beladungsmengen die prozessual optimale Art und Menge des Behandlungsmittels dem Arbeitsprozess zur Verfügung zu stellen, was weder mit den Angaben auf den Verpackungen solcher Behandlungsmittel noch mit einer Anzeige der prognostizierten Waschmittelmenge gemäß DE 39 32 170 A1 möglich ist.In contrast, however, it is important to make the process-optimal type and amount of treatment agent available to the work process for each of many different treatment programs and load quantities, which is neither in accordance with the information on the packaging of such treatment agents nor with an indication of the forecast amount of detergent DE 39 32 170 A1 is possible.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einem Haushaltgerät Mittel dafür anzugeben, dass der Bedienungsperson eine für jeden individuellen Arbeitsprozess optimale Dosierempfehlung von Zusatzmitteln angezeigt wird, die nicht nur die Menge des zu verwendenden Zusatzmittels betrifft sondern auch die Auswahl des geeigneten Zusatz- mittels.The invention is therefore based on the object of specifying in a household appliance means that the operator is shown an optimal dosage recommendation for additives for each individual work process, which not only relates to the amount of the additive to be used but also to the selection of the suitable additive.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die Prozesssteuerung einen Arbeitsbereich aufweist, durch den Parameter des Arbeitsprozesses die Auswahl von für die im Arbeitsprozess erforderliche Art des Zusatzmittels beeinflussen können, und dass ein mit der Prozesssteuerung wirkverbundenes Anzeigefeld für die Art des Zusatzmittels vorhanden ist. Bei der Anwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen kann durch eine differenzierte Auswahl von Zusatzmitteln viel besser als bisher auf Unterschiede zwischen den einzelnen Arbeitsprozessen eingegangen werden. Dadurch wird der Behandlungserfolg verbessert und die zu behandelnden Gegenstände werden typgerechter und zu- standsoptimiert bearbeitet. Der Kunde wird durch erkennbar bessere Behandlungserfolge zufriedener und die Bindung an ein bestimmtes Zusatzmittel für einen jeweiligen Arbeitsprozess wird durch den wiederholten Hinweis auf die Sorte des Zusatzmittels in der Anzeige enger.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the process control has a work area through which parameters of the work process can influence the selection of the type of additive required for the work process, and that a display field for the type of additive that is operatively connected to the process control is available. When applying the measures according to the invention, a differentiated selection of additives can deal with differences between the individual work processes much better than before. As a result, the success of treatment is improved and the objects to be treated are processed in a type-appropriate and condition-optimized manner. The customer becomes more satisfied with noticeably better treatment successes, and the link to a specific additive for a particular work process is tightened by the repeated reference to the type of additive in the advertisement.
In einer besonders vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist das Anzeigefeld für die Art des Zusatzmttels durch einen Speicherbereich der Prozesssteuerung ansprechbar, in dem Informationen über Arten, Sorten, Formen, Wirksamkeiten und/ oder weitere in den zu steuernden Arbeitsprozessen zu berücksichtigende Merkmale der Zusatzmittel gespeichert sind. Dies optimiert die Auswahl der Zusatzmittel endgültig.In a particularly advantageous development of the invention, the display field for the type of additive can be addressed by a memory area of the process control in which information about types, types, forms, efficacies and / or further characteristics of the additive to be taken into account in the work processes to be controlled are stored. This finally optimizes the choice of additives.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist ebenfalls eine weitere Ausbildung der Erfindung, bei der die Pro- zesssteuerung eine Verknüpfung enthält, die bestimmten Arbeitsprozessen jeweils passende Arten und/oder Sorten von Zusatzmitteln aus dem Speicherbereich zuordnet und beim Aufrufen solcher Arbeitsprozesse diese Merkmale der Zusatzmittel oder Teile davon sowie die erforderliche Menge der Zusatzmittel zur Anzeige bringt. Solche Merkmale können beispielsweise Markennamen und/oder Artennamen von Zusatzmitteln sein, bei Waschmitteln beispielsweise „Feinwaschmittel", „Colorwaschmittel", „Vollwaschmittel" oder ähnliches bzw. „Persil", „Ariel", „Omo" usw., die der Bedienungsperson geläufig werden können und eine gewisse persönliche Beziehung aufbauen helfen.A further embodiment of the invention is also particularly advantageous, in which the process control contains a link that assigns suitable types and / or types of additives from the memory area to specific work processes, and when these work processes are called up, these features of the additives or parts thereof and the indicates the required amount of additives. Such features can be, for example, brand names and / or type names of additives, in the case of detergents, for example, “mild detergent”, “color detergent”, “heavy duty detergent” or the like or “Persil”, “Ariel”, “Omo”, etc., which are familiar to the operator can and help to build a certain personal relationship.
Zweckmäßigerweise enthält in einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung die Prozesssteuerung einen Eingabebereich, der zur Eingabe mindestens eines der Merkmale des Zusatzmittels geeignet ist. Dazu eigenen sich sowohl eine separate oder umschaltbare, vorhandeneIn a development of the invention, the process control expediently contains an input area which is suitable for inputting at least one of the features of the additive. A separate or switchable, existing one is suitable for this

Für die Dosierempfehlung sollte die Verknüpfung für die Menge des erforderlichen Zusatzmittels relevante Variable eines aufgerufenen Arbeitsprozesses berücksichtigen. Dies sind insbesondere die Menge des zu behandelnden Gutes, die entweder von Hand oder von einer automatischen Erfassungseinrichtung ermittelt werden kann, sowie gegebenen- falls von den Standard-Arbeitsprozessen von Hand eingestellte abweichende Arbeitstemperaturen oder Wasserstandveränderungen. Dadurch ist die Optimierung an alle individuellen Abwandlungen von in der Prozesssteuerung vorhandenen Arbeitsprozessen anpassbar. Von besonderem Vorteil ist auch eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung, bei der die Variable eine Aussage über einen bestimmten Zustand der im Haushaltgerät zu bearbeitenden Gegenstände enthält. Ein solcher Zustand kann der Verschmutzungsgrad von zu reinigenden Gegenständen sein, der von Hand eingestellt oder von einer automatischen Erfassungseinrichtung erkannt werden kann, oder die innere Beschaffenheit von einer Wärmebehandlung zu unterziehenden Gegenständen, dies nur als einige Beispiele.For the dosing recommendation, the linkage should take into account relevant variables of a called work process for the amount of additive required. These are in particular the amount of the goods to be treated, which can be determined either by hand or by an automatic detection device, and any if different working temperatures or water level changes are set by hand from the standard work processes. As a result, the optimization can be adapted to all individual modifications of work processes present in the process control. A further development of the invention is particularly advantageous, in which the variable contains a statement about a specific state of the objects to be processed in the household appliance. Such a condition can be the degree of soiling of objects to be cleaned, which can be set by hand or recognized by an automatic detection device, or the internal nature of objects to be subjected to heat treatment, just as a few examples.
Von besonderem Vorteil ist die Anwendung der Erfindung und ihrer Ausführungsbeispiele bei einem Haushaltgerät, das eine Waschmaschine ist, bei der das Zusatzmittel ein Waschmittel und die Gegenstände Wäschestücke sind. Hier kann die Optimierung der Waschmittel-Dosierung zu einem großen Fortschritt in den Ergebnissen der art- und zu- standsabhängigen Behandlung von Wäschestücken führen.Of particular advantage is the use of the invention and its exemplary embodiments in a household appliance which is a washing machine in which the additive is a detergent and the articles are laundry items. Here the optimization of the detergent dosage can lead to great progress in the results of the type and condition-dependent treatment of items of laundry.
Dort können die Arten der Waschmittel bestimmte Anwendungsziele, die Sorten bestimmte Hersteller, die Formen bestimmte Darreichungszustände (Pulver, Flüssigkeit oder Tabletten) und die Wirksamkeit bestimmte Rezepturen betreffen. Anwendungsziele sind die unterschiedlichsten Behandlungsprogramme, die für jeweils spezifische Wäscheposten (Weiß-, Bunt-, Wolle-, Fein-Wäsche u.s.w.) eingerichtet sind und deren Parameter zusätzlich teilweise veränderlich sind.There, the types of detergents can relate to specific application goals, the types to specific manufacturers, the forms to certain dosage states (powder, liquid or tablets) and the effectiveness to certain formulations. The application goals are a wide variety of treatment programs that are set up for specific items of laundry (white, colored, wool, delicates, etc.) and whose parameters can also be changed in some cases.
Für diese Merkmale der Zusatzmittel können entsprechende Speicherbereiche vorgesehen sein, die zum Zwecke der Berechnung der Dosierempfehlung aus dem Speicher ausgelesen werden und in diesem Speicher auch aktualisiert werden können. Letzteres kann durch händische Eingabe, durch Scannen von Informationsbeschriftungen (z.B.Corresponding memory areas can be provided for these features of the additive, which are read from the memory for the purpose of calculating the dosage recommendation and can also be updated in this memory. The latter can be done by manual input, by scanning information labels (e.g.

Es zeigenBarcode labels on packaging), by reading a memory chip card in a card reader that is installed in the household appliance or can be temporarily connected to it, or by connecting to a service point via a data network, e.g. can be transferred to the process control via the Internet. The invention is explained below on the basis of exemplary embodiments shown in the drawing. Show it
Fig. 1 die Frontansicht eines Bedienungsfeldes für eine Waschmaschine mit einem Text-Anzeigefeld, Fig. 2 bis 6 mehrere vergrößert dargestellte, unterschiedliche Beispiele für eine durch das Anzeigefeld gegebene Dosierempfehlung.1 is a front view of a control panel for a washing machine with a text display panel, Fig. 2 to 6 several enlarged examples, different examples of a given by the display panel dosage recommendation.
An einer Seite des Bedienungsfeldes 1 einer Waschmaschine ist gewöhnlicherweise die Griffplatte 2 einer Waschmittelschublade angeordnet, die für die Erfindung keine Bedeu- tung hat. Das Bedienungsfeld 1 hat zwei Tasten 3 und 4 für die elektrische Verbindung der Waschmaschine mit dem Stromnetz „Ein" und für die Inbetriebsetzung des gewählten Arbeitsprozesses „Start". Das Anzeigedisplay 5 wird rechts und links von je einer Spalte von Tasten 6 bis 9 und 10 bis 13 flankiert. Im Anzeigedisplay 5 selbst sind mehrere Felder mit unterschiedlichen Formaten zum Anzeigen eines Standard-Arbeitsprozesses (Feld 14 mit z.B. „Bunt 40°C", Feld 15 mit z.B. „Abbruch", Feld 16 mit z.B. „Beladung max 6 kg",The handle plate 2 of a detergent drawer is usually arranged on one side of the control panel 1 of a washing machine, which has no significance for the invention. The control panel 1 has two buttons 3 and 4 for the electrical connection of the washing machine to the power supply "on" and for the start-up of the selected work process "start". The display 5 is flanked on the right and left by a column of buttons 6 to 9 and 10 to 13. In the display 5 itself there are several fields with different formats for displaying a standard work process (field 14 with e.g. "colorful 40 ° C", field 15 with e.g. "abort", field 16 with e.g. "load max 6 kg",
Feld 17 mit einer Balkenanzeige für die aktuell eingebrachte Menge (in %-Werten von der möglichen Maximalmenge) von zu behandelndem Gut und Feld 18 mit z.B. „Waschmitteldosierung: 60%" angeordnet. Dabei sind die Felder 14 und 15 im gezeigten Anzeigestatus den daneben liegenden Tasten 6 und 10 zugeordnet. In anderen, hier nicht gezeigten Anzeigestatussen können auch die anderen Felder (z.T. anders aufgeteilt) jeweils daneben liegenden Tasten zugeordnet sein.Field 17 with a bar graph for the current quantity (in% of the possible maximum quantity) of the goods to be treated and field 18 with e.g. "Detergent dosage: 60%" is arranged. Fields 14 and 15 in the display status shown are assigned to the keys 6 and 10 next to them. In other display statuses not shown here, the other fields (in some cases differently divided) can also be assigned to keys next to them ,
Die einfache Anzeige „Waschmitteldosierung 60%" entspricht in etwa dem, was der Stand der Technik heute schon bietet. In Fortbildung des Standes der Technik schlägt die Erfindung nun vor, was im folgenden erläutert wird. Das in Fig. 2 dargestellte Anzeigedisplay empfiehlt für den im Feld 14 angezeigten Arbeitsprozess „Fein 40°C" = Feinwäsche mit 40°C Waschtemperatur und einer maximalen Beladung von 2 kg (Feld 16) die Verwendung eines Feinwaschmittels und eine Dosierung von 60% (Feld 18, bezogen auf die maximale Aufnahmekapazität der zutreffenden Waschmittelkammer, nicht dargestellt). Zusätzlich zeigt der Anzeigebalken 19 im Feld 17 in analoger Weise eine aktuelle Belademenge der in die Waschmaschine eingebrachtenThe simple display "detergent dosing 60%" corresponds approximately to what the prior art already offers. In a further development of the prior art, the invention now proposes what is explained below. The display shown in FIG. 2 recommends for the Working process indicated in field 14 "Fine 40 ° C" = delicates with a washing temperature of 40 ° C and a maximum load of 2 kg (field 16), the use of a mild detergent and a dosage of 60% (field 18, based on the maximum absorption capacity of the applicable Detergent chamber, not shown). In addition, the display bar 19 in the field 17 shows in an analogous manner a current loading quantity of the washing machine
Wäsche von etwas mehr als 60% (von maximal 2 kg) an.Wash a little more than 60% (maximum 2 kg).
Das Feld 14 in Fig. 3 zeigt einen Arbeitsprozess „Bunt 40°C" = Buntwäsche mit 40°C Waschtemperatur an. Bei aktueller Beladung von rund 60% von maximal 6 kg (ca. 3,5 kg) Trockenwäsche wird im Feld 18 die Verwendung von 2 Stück Persil Tabs (Tabletten) empfohlen. Dies kann deshalb erfolgen, weil durch eine frühere geeignete Eingabe in dieThe field 14 in FIG. 3 shows a work process "colorful 40 ° C" = colored laundry with a washing temperature of 40 ° C. With current loading of around 60% of a maximum of 6 kg (approx. 3.5 kg) dry laundry is in field 18 The use of 2 pieces of Persil Tabs (tablets) is recommended, this can be done because of an earlier appropriate entry in the
Prozesssteuerung dokumentiert wurde, dass im betreffenden Haushalt Persil-Wasch- tabletten benutzt werden. Durch Betätigen der Taste 13 kann die Bedienungsperson - beispielsweise für den Fall, dass im Haushalt zur Zeit keine Persil Tabs zur Verfügung stehen - eine andere Waschmittelempfehlung wählen, z.B. „Colorwaschmittel" wie in Fig. 6. Die Dosierempfehlung heißt hier bei „Persil Tabs": 2 Stück oder bei „Color- waschmittel": 70%.Process control was documented that Persil washing tablets are used in the household concerned. By pressing the button 13, the operator can choose a different detergent recommendation, for example in the event that there are currently no Persil tabs in the household, for example “color detergent” as in Fig. 6. The dosage recommendation here is for "Persil Tabs": 2 pieces or for "Color Detergent": 70%.
Bei einem gemäß Feld 14 in Fig. 4 gewählten Arbeitsprozess „Bunt 60°C" wird - falls eine solche Waschmittelart und -sorte eingegeben war - wegen der höheren Wirksamkeit trotz höherer Waschtemperatur (60°C) als in Fig. 3 oder 6 von der WaschmittelsorteIn a working process selected according to field 14 in FIG. 4, “Colorful 60 ° C.”, if such a type and type of detergent was entered, because of the higher effectiveness, despite the higher washing temperature (60 ° C.) than in FIG. 3 or 6, the washing places
„Persil Megaperls" nur 50% Dosierung empfohlen, obwohl der Anzeigebalken 19 ausweist, dass etwa 70% von maximal 6 kg Wäsche - also etwas mehr als 4 kg - geladen sind. Diese Unterschiede sind im Speicherbereich für alle gespeicherten Waschmittelarten und -Sorten hinterlegt, so dass der Waschmittelrechner differenzierte Empfehlungen in die Anzeige leiten kann."Persil Megaperls" only 50% dosage recommended, although the display bar 19 shows that about 70% of a maximum of 6 kg laundry - a little more than 4 kg - are loaded. These differences are stored in the storage area for all stored detergent types and types, so that the detergent calculator can make different recommendations in the display.
Bei einem gewählten Arbeitsprozess „Weiß 75°C" für die Bearbeitung von Weißwäsche bei einer Waschtemperatur von 75°C gemäß Fig. 5 kann seitens des Waschmittelrechners guten Gewissens die Benutzung von „Vollwaschmittel" empfohlen werden. Diese Empfehlung wird angezeigt, wenn keine besonderen Eintragungen für bestimmte Waschmittelsorten im Speicherbereich vorhanden sind. Sind allerdings Waschmittelarten und -Sorten für die Gattung „Vollwaschmittel" im Speicherbereich hinterlegt, dann bietet der Rechner eine am häufigsten gewählte Sorte an, z.B. Vizir (ein flüssiges Vollwaschmittel), errechnet aus den dafür hinterlegten Eigenschaften die erforderliche Dosierung und leitet diese Empfehlung an die Anzeigeeinrichtung weiter. Da fast 90 % der maximalen Beladung (über 5 kg) erkannt und eine verhältnismäßig hohe Waschtemperatur für stark zu behandelnde Wäsche gewählt wurde, ist die Dosierempfehlung mit 80% schon höher als in den anderen Beispielen.In the case of a selected working process “white 75 ° C.” for processing white laundry at a washing temperature of 75 ° C. according to FIG. 5, the detergent calculator can recommend the use of “full detergent” with a clear conscience. This recommendation is displayed if there are no special entries for certain types of detergent in the storage area. However, if types and types of detergent for the "heavy-duty detergent" category are stored in the storage area, the computer offers a most frequently selected type, e.g. Vizir (a liquid heavy-duty detergent), calculates the required dosage from the properties stored for this purpose and passes this recommendation on to Since almost 90% of the maximum load (over 5 kg) has been recognized and a relatively high washing temperature has been selected for laundry that is to be treated heavily, the recommended dosage of 80% is already higher than in the other examples.
Bei dem Beispiel gemäß Fig. 6 ist die Dosierempfehlung bei der Wahl von „Colorwasch- mittel" für Buntwäsche mit 40°C Waschtemperatur mit 70% für die erkannte Beladung gemäß Balken 19 angemessen. In the example according to FIG. 6, the dosing recommendation is appropriate when selecting “color detergent” for colored laundry with a washing temperature of 40 ° C. and 70% for the detected load according to bar 19.
