Abstract
Description
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 einem Anzeigedisplay für Texte, in dem auch ein Anzeigefeld für die Anzeige der im Arbeitsprozess voraussichtlich erforderlichen Zusatzmittelmenge vorhanden ist, wobei die Prozesssteuerung einen Arbeitsbereich aufweist, durch den Parameter des Arbeitsprozesses die Auswahl von für die im Arbeitsprozess erforderliche Art des Zusatzmittels beeinflussen können, und wobei ein mit der Prozesssteuerung wirkverbundenes Anzeigefeld für die Art des Zusatzmittels vorhanden ist, welches durch einen Speicherbereich der Prozesssteuerung ansprechbar ist, in dem Informationen über Arten, Sorten, Formen, Wirksamkeiten und/oder weitere in den zu steuernden Arbeitsprozessen zu berücksichtigende Merkmale der Zusatzmittel gespeichert sind.The invention relates to a process-controlled domestic appliance with a device by which the working process additives can be supplied, the dosage must be made by an operator, with a microcomputer and a display display for texts, in which a display panel for displaying the expected in the work process Amount of additive is present, wherein the process control has a workspace through which parameters of the work process can influence the selection of required for the working process type of additive, and wherein a functionally connected to the process control display panel for the type of additive is present, which by a memory area the process control is responsive, are stored in the information about types, varieties, shapes, efficiencies and / or other to be considered in the work processes to be considered features of the additives.
Ein solches prozessgesteuertes Haushaltgerät geht hervor aus der
Aus der
Aus der
Das dortige Anzeigefeld einer Wasch- oder Geschirrspülmaschine kann zwar, abgesehen von weiteren hier nicht näher zu berücksichtigenden Informationen, durch ihre Anzeige eine prognostizierte Wäschmittel-Dosierungsempfehlung geben. Diese Prognose ist aber im Hinblick auf unterschiedlichste, im Markt befindliche Waschmittel lediglich als Durchschnittswert zu sehen, 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 local display panel of a washing machine or dishwasher may, apart from other information not to be considered here in more detail, give by their display a predicted detergent dosage recommendation. This prognosis, however, is to be regarded as an average value with regard to the most diverse detergents available on the market, which the operator is rarely aware of. Consequently, most of the automatic washing or rinsing processes are operated with a faulty detergent or rinse aid. The customer will generally use a standard detergent, but must first learn to interpret the dosage recommendation; he is served with the indicated dosage recommendation not much better than with the information on the detergent or detergent 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
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 Zusatzmittels.The invention is therefore based on the object in a household appliance means that the operator is displayed for each individual working process optimal dosage recommendation of additives, which not only affects the amount of additive to be used but also the selection of the appropriate additive.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass bei einem prozessgesteuerten Haushaltgerät der eingangs beschriebenen Gattung die Prozesssteuerung einen Eingabebereich enthält, der zur Eingabe mindestens eines der Merkmale des Zusatzmittels geeignet ist.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that in a process-controlled domestic appliance of the type described above, the process control contains an input area which is suitable for inputting at least one of the features of the additive.
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 zustandsoptimiert 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.In the application of the measures according to the invention can be discussed much better than before on differences between the individual work processes by a differentiated selection of additives. As a result, the treatment success is improved and the objects to be treated are processed in a type-specific and condition-optimized manner. The customer becomes more satisfied by the noticeably better treatment results and the binding to a specific admixture for a particular work process is narrowed by the repeated reference to the type of admixture in the advertisement.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist eine weitere Ausbildung der Erfindung, bei der die Prozesssteuerung 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.Particularly advantageous is a further embodiment of the invention, in which the process control includes a link that assigns certain working processes each appropriate types and / or varieties of additives from the storage area and calling up such processes these features of the additives or parts thereof and the required amount of Additive displays. Such features may be, for example, brand names and / or type names of additives, for detergents such as "mild detergent", "color detergent", "heavy duty detergent" or "Persil", "Ariel", "Omo" etc., which are familiar to the operator can help build a personal relationship.
Zweckmäßigerweise enthält gemäß 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, vorhandene Tastatur, ein Chipkartenleser für vom Waschmittelhersteller ausgegebene Chipkarten oder eine Scanvorrichtung, durch die ein Barcode einer Verpackung für das Zusatzmittel eingelesen werden kann. Bei intemetfähigen Haushaltgeräten ist auch eine Download-Funktion für Zusatzmittel-Daten denkbar.Conveniently, according to the invention, the process controller includes an input area suitable for inputting at least one of the features of the additive. For this purpose, both a separate or switchable, existing keyboard, a smart card reader issued by the detergent manufacturer chip cards or a scanning device through which a barcode packaging of the additive can be read. For home-enabled household appliances, a download function for additive data is also conceivable.
Die zusätzliche Anzeige eines der Merkmale im Rahmen der Dosierempfehlung kann der Name des Zusatzmittels sein. Es kann auch die Form des Zusatzmittels betreffen.The additional indication of one of the features in the dosing recommendation may be the name of the additive. It may also relate to the form of the additive.
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 gegebenenfalls 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.For the dosing recommendation, the link should take into account relevant variables of a requested work process for the amount of additive required. These are, in particular, the amount of material to be treated, which can be determined either manually or by an automatic detection device, and optionally manual operating temperatures or water level changes set by the standard work processes. As a result, the optimization is adaptable to all individual modifications of existing in the process control work processes.
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.Of particular advantage is also a development of the invention, in which the variable contains a statement about a particular state of the objects to be processed in the household appliance. Such a condition may be the degree of soiling of articles to be cleaned, which may be manually adjusted or detected by an automatic detection device, or the internal nature of articles to be heat treated, this being only 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.
