Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Wäschetrockner mit einer Steueranordnung zur Steuerung des Trockenvorgangs und einer Meßanordnung zum Ermitteln des Trockengrades der Wäsche während eines Haupttrockenvorgangs. Die Erfindung betrifft außerdem ein entsprechendes Verfahren zur Steuerung eines Wäschetrockners.The invention relates to a clothes dryer with a control arrangement for Control of the drying process and a measuring arrangement for determining the Degree of dryness of the laundry during a main drying process. The invention also relates to a corresponding method for controlling a clothes dryer.
Ein derartiger Wäschetrockner ist z.B. aus der DE 3642459 A1 bekannt. Dieser bekannte Wäschetrockner weist eine Meßanordnung auf, mittels derer der Trockengrad der zu trocknenden Wäsche ermittelt werden kann. Diese Ermittlung wird üblicherweise in mehreren Stufen (Feuchtestufen) durchgeführt. Bei dem aus der DE3642459A1 bekannten Wäschetrockner wird der Trockengrad mittels Messung der Leitfähigkeit der sich in der Trommel befindlichen Wäsche bestimmt. Es sind aber auch andere Verfahren, wie z.B. die Messung der Trommelaustrittstemperatur bekannt.Such a tumble dryer is e.g. known from DE 3642459 A1. This Known tumble dryer has a measuring arrangement by means of which the degree of dryness of the laundry to be dried can be determined. This determination is common carried out in several stages (humidity levels). In the from DE3642459A1 Known tumble dryers the degree of dryness by measuring the conductivity of the laundry in the drum. But there are also others Methods such as the measurement of the drum outlet temperature is known.
Mittels der bekannten Verfahren kann der Trockengrad der Wäsche nur bis zu einer Restfeuchte von ca. 2% ermittelt werden.By means of the known methods, the degree of dryness of the laundry can only be up to one Residual moisture of approx. 2% can be determined.
Wenn die Wäsche bis zu einem höheren Trockengrad getrocknet werden soll, erfolgt eine Nachheizung mit fester Nachheizzeit.If the laundry is to be dried to a higher degree of dryness, is done post-heating with a fixed post-heating time.
Dies hat jedoch den Nachteil, daß Beladungen von verschiedener Art und insbesondere von verschiedener Menge gleich lange nachgetrocknet werden, so daß am Ende des Nachtrockenvorganges unterschiedliche Beladungen verschieden stark getrocknet sind.However, this has the disadvantage that loads of different types and in particular of different amounts are dried for the same length of time, so that at the end of the After drying different loads are dried to different extents.
Es ist eine Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Wäschetrockner der eingangs genannten Art aufzuzeigen, welcher einen verbesserten Nachtrockenvorgang aufweist. Eine weitere Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, ein entsprechendes Verfahren zur Steuerung eines Wäschetrockners aufzuzeigen.It is an object of the invention to provide a clothes dryer of the type mentioned to show which has an improved post-drying process. Another The object of the invention is to provide a corresponding method for controlling a To show dryers.
Diese Aufgabe wird für den Wäschetrockner erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Steueranordnung die Nachheizzeit des Nachtrockenvorgangs in Abhängigkeit des zeitlichen Verlaufs des Haupttrockenvorgangs steuert.This object is achieved for the clothes dryer according to the invention in that the control arrangement the post-heating time of the post-drying process depending on the controls the course of the main drying process over time.
Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Wäschetrockner ist die Nachheizzeit somit nicht fest, sondern kann in Abhängigkeit des zeitlichen Verlaufs des Haupttrockenvorgangs variabel gesteuert. Dadurch ist eine individuelle Anpassung der Nachheizzzeit an die sich jeweils in der Trommel befindliche Wäscheart und Wäschemenge möglich. Der zeitliche Verlauf des Haupttrockenvorgangs wird mittels der Meßanordnung gemessen und von der Steueranordnung bei der Festlegung der jeweiligen Nachheizzeit berücksichtigt. Die Messung des Trockengrades der Wäsche kann sowohl kontinuierlich als auch stufenweise erfolgen.In the tumble dryer according to the invention, the reheating time is therefore not fixed. but can depend on the time course of the main drying process variably controlled. This enables the reheating time to be individually adapted to the the type and amount of laundry in the drum is possible. The The time course of the main drying process is measured by means of the measuring arrangement and by the control arrangement when determining the respective reheating time considered. Measuring the degree of dryness of the laundry can both done continuously as well as gradually.
Bei der vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung nach Anspruch 2 steuert die
Steueranordnung die Nachheizzeit in Abhängigkeit der Trocknungsdauer zwischen
wenigstens zwei vorgebbaren Feuchtestufen. Vorzugsweise sind dies die zwei während
des Trockenprozesses zuletzt erfassten Feuchtestufen, z.B. die Feuchtestufe 2%
Restfeuchte und die Feuchtestufe 10% Restfeuchte.In the advantageous embodiment of the invention according to claim 2 controls
Control arrangement the post-heating time depending on the drying time between
at least two predeterminable moisture levels. These are preferably the two during
of the drying process last recorded moisture levels, e.g. the
Bei der vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung gemäß Anspruch 3 wird die Nachheizzeit von der Steueranordnung aus der Trocknungsdauer zwischen wenigstens zwei Feuchtestufen berechnet. Diese Berechnung geht vorzugsweise von einer normierten Nachheizzzeit für die einzelnen Trockenprogramme, z.B. "Schranktrocken" und "Bügelfeucht" aus. Die normierte Nachheizzeit ist die Nachheizzeit, welche bei einer Normbeladung zu dem gewünschten Trockengrad des jeweiligen Trockenprogramms führt. Gleichzeitig weist eine derartige Normbeladung auch eine normierte Trocknungsdauer zwischen den einzelnen Feuchtestufen auf. Die Steueranordnung überprüft nun, ob bei dem jeweiligen Trockenvorgang eine Abweichung von der normierten Trocknungsdauer auftritt und berechnet, falls dies der Fall ist, einen Korrekturfaktor. Mittels dieses Korrekturfaktors wird dann eine zu der jeweiligen Beladung passende korrigierte Nachheizzeit berechnet.In the advantageous embodiment of the invention according to claim 3 Post-heating time of the control arrangement from the drying time between at least calculated two moisture levels. This calculation is preferably based on a standardized reheating time for the individual drying programs, e.g. "Extra dry" and "iron damp". The standardized post-heating time is the post-heating time, which at a standard load to the desired degree of dryness of the respective Drying program leads. At the same time, such a standard load also has one standardized drying time between the individual moisture levels. The The control arrangement now checks whether there is any during the respective drying process Deviation from the normalized drying time occurs and calculated if this is the Case is a correction factor. This correction factor then turns one into appropriate corrected reheating time calculated for each load.
Bei der vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung gemäß Anspruch 4 weist die
Steueranordnung einen Speicher auf, in dem in Form einer Tabelle zu wenigstens zwei
Trocknungsdauern zwischen zwei Feuchtestufen jeweils eine Nachheizzeit gespeichert
ist. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist zur Bestimmung der individuellen
Nachheizzzeit keine Berechnung erforderlich. Vielmehr entnimmt die Steueranordnung
die jeweilige Nachheizzeit aus der gespeicherten Tabelle.In the advantageous embodiment of the invention according to
Gemäß der vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung nach Anspruch 5 steuert die Steueranordnung die Nachheizzeit so, dass ein vorgebbarer Minimalwert nicht unterschritten wird und gemäß der vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung nach Anspruch 6 so, dass ein vorgebbarer Maximalwert nicht überschritten wird.According to the advantageous embodiment of the invention according to claim 5 controls Control arrangement the post-heating time so that a predeterminable minimum value does not is undershot and according to the advantageous embodiment of the invention Claim 6 so that a predetermined maximum value is not exceeded.
Dadurch wird eine erhöhte Sicherheit des Trockenvorgangs erzielt. Es wird gewährleistet, daß z.B. bei fehlerhaften Meßwerten der Meßanordnung trotzdem eine hinreichende Genauigkeit des eingestellten Trockengrades erreicht wird.This increases the safety of the drying process. It will ensures that e.g. in the case of incorrect measured values of the measuring arrangement, one nevertheless sufficient accuracy of the set degree of dryness is achieved.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird für das Verfahren dadurch gelöst, dass die Steueranordnung die Nachheizzeit des Nachtrockenvorgangs in Abhängigkeit des zeitlichen Verlaufs des Haupttrockenvorgangs steuert.The object of the invention is achieved for the method in that the Control arrangement the post-heating time of the post-drying process depending on the controls the course of the main drying process over time.
Ein schematisch dargestelltes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung in den Figuren 1 und 2 näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

- a block diagram of a measuring and control arrangement of the clothes dryer
Fig 1 zeigt schematisch einen elektrischen Wäschetrockner 1, der nach dem
Trommelprinzip arbeitet. Der Wäschetrockner 1 weist ein Gehäuse 2 auf, in dem eine
zur Aufnahme der Wäsche vorgesehene drehbare Trommel 3 angeordnet ist. Die
Trocknungsluft wird über ein nicht dargestelltes Gebläse mit Hilfe einer ebenfalls nicht
dargestellten Heizvorrichtung erwärmt und in die Trommel 3 eingeleitet. Die
Trocknungsluft erwärmt und trocknet innerhalb der Trommel 3 die Wäsche und wird
wieder aus der Trommel 3 ausgeblasen. An der Vorderseite 4 des Gehäuses 2 befindet
sich eine Beladungstür 5, welche zur Beladung geöffnet und zum Trocknen geschlossen
werden kann. An dem inneren Umfang der Trommel 3 sind verteilt drei
Wäschemitnahmerippen 6a, 6b und 6c angeordnet. Die drei Wäschemitnahmerippen
6a, 6b und 6c dienen zum Transport und zur Umwälzung der Wäsche während des
Trockenvorgangs. Gleichzeitig sind die Wäschemitnahmerippen 6a und 6b als
Meßelektroden für eine in Fig. 2 näher dargestellte Meßanordnung 10 vorgesehen. Der
Wäschetrockner 1 weist im oberen Teil Bedienelemente 7 sowie eine
Anzeigevorrichtung 8 auf.Fig. 1 shows schematically an
Die in Fig. 2 dargestellte Meßanordnung 10 ist zur elektronischen Messung der
Feuchtigkeit bzw. des Trockengrades der sich in der Trommel 3 befindlichen Wäsche
vorgesehen. Hierzu wird mittels der Meßanordnung 10 der Widerstand der Wäsche
während des Trockenvorgangs gemessen. Da feuchte Wäsche einen geringeren
elektrischen Widerstand als trockene Wäsche hat, kann aus der Widerstandsmessung
der Trockengrad der Wäsche ermittelt werden.The
In dem Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Wäschemitnahmerippen 6a und 6b als
Meßelektroden ausgebildet und elektrisch mit einer Widerstandsmeßschaltung 11
gekoppelt. Die Widerstandsmeßschaltung 11 mißt den elektrischen Widerstand
zwischen den beiden Wäschemitnahmerippen 6a und 6b, der durch den Trockengrad der
sich zwischen den Wäschemitnahmerippen 6a und 6b befindlichen Wäsche bestimmt
wird. Als Steueranordnung ist eine Steuerschaltung 12 vorgesehen. Die
Widerstandsmeßschaltung 11 ist mit der Steuerschaltung 12 gekoppelt und liefert an
die Steuerschaltung 12 als Meßsignal 13 den gemessenen Widerstandswert. Die
Steuerschaltung 12 wertet das Meßsignal 13 kontinuierlich oder in vorgebbaren
Zeitabständen aus und liefert Steuersignale 14 zur Ablaufsteuerung des weiteren
Trockenvorgangs an verschiedene andere Komponenten des Wäschetrockners 1,
insbesondere an das nicht dargestellte Gebläse und die nicht dargestellte
Heizvorrichtung. Die Steuerschaltung 12 berechnet auch die für den jeweiligen
Trockenvorgang optimale Nachheizzeit. Mittels der Meßanordnung 10 kann der
Feuchte- bzw Trockengrad der Wäsche nur bis zu einer Restfeuchte von 2% bestimmt
werden. Danach wird der Trockenvorgang noch während der von der Steuerschaltung
12 berechneten Nachheizzeit weiterbetrieben. Für die Berechnung der Nachheizzeit
berücksichtigt die Steuerschaltung 12 den zeitlichen Verlauf des Haupttrockenvorgangs.
Als Haupttrockenvorgang wird die Zeit bezeichnet, während derer die Meßanordnung
10 den Feuchtegrad der Wäsche bestimmen kann.
Die Berechnung der Nachheizzzeit kann z.B. dadurch erfolgen, daß die Steuerschaltung
12 die tatsächliche Trockendauer zwischen zwei vorgebbaren Feuchtestufen ermittelt.
Dies sind vorzugsweise die beiden letzten Feuchtestufen, z.B. die Feuchtestufen 2%
Restfeuchte und 10% Restfeuchte. Die tatsächliche Trockendauer wird mit einer
Normdauer verglichen und daraus ein Korrekturfaktor berechnet. Die Normdauer ist
diejenige Zeitdauer, welche eine Normbeladung bei dem jeweils eingestellten
Trockenprogramm als Trockenzeit zwischen den beiden obigen Feuchtestufen benötigt.
Mit diesem Korrekturfaktor wird dann die für das jeweilige Trockenprogramm
vorgesehene normierte Nachheizzeit so umgerechnet, daß man eine zu der jeweiligen
Beladung passende korrigierte Nachheizzeit erhält. Dabei ist die normierte Nachheizzeit
die Nachheizzeit, welche bei der Normbeladung den für das jeweilige
Trockenprogramm gewünschten Trockengrad liefert. Diese Berechnung wird
nachfolgend anhand eines Beispiels erläutert:In the exemplary embodiment, the
The post-heating time can be calculated, for example, by the
Für ein Trockenprogramm "schranktrocken" haben die Meßanordnung 10 und die
Steuerschaltung 12 für eine 5kg Beladung nach Norm eine Normdauer zwischen den
beiden letzten Feuchtestufen von 10 min ermittelt. Als normierte Nachheizzeit für diese
Normbeladung wurde ein Wert von 20 Minuten festgelegt.For a drying program "cabinet dry" have the measuring
Im Betrieb wird nun für eine Beladung von z.B. 2.5 kg eine tatsächliche Dauer von 5 Minuten zwischen den beiden letzten Feuchtestufen gemessen. In diesem Fall würde bei einer linearen Korrektur der Korrekturfaktor 0.5 betragen und dementsprechend die tatsächliche Nachheizzeit auf 10 Minuten reduziert. Es sind jedoch auch nichtlineare Korrekturverfahren möglich.In operation, a load of e.g. 2.5 kg an actual duration of 5 Minutes measured between the last two moisture levels. In this case a linear correction, the correction factor is 0.5 and accordingly the actual reheating time reduced to 10 minutes. However, they are also non-linear Correction procedure possible.
Alternativ könnte die Steuerschaltung 12 auch einen Speicher aufweisen, in dem eine
Tabelle abgelegt ist, deren Parameter die Dauer zwischen den beiden letzten
Feuchtestufen und die Dauer der Nachheizzeit sind.Alternatively, the
Zusätzlich ist es vorteilhaft, daß die Steuerschaltung 12 für die Nachheizzeit je einen
minimalen und/oder einen maximalen Wert berücksichtigt, der unabhängig von der
berechneten Nachheizzeit nicht unter- bzw. überschritten werden darf. Derartige
Maximal- und Minmalwerte können ebenfalls in einem Speicher der Steuerschaltung
12 abgelegt werden.In addition, it is advantageous that the
