Definitions
- the present invention refers to an improved kind of clothes washing or drying machine, preferably of the type intended for use in households, adapted to perform washing or drying cycles that are in a particular manner intended to adhere to and comply with the user's preferences in as close as possible manner.
- Clothes washing machines are generally known in the art as being washing appliances that are capable of performing working cycles, i.e. washing programmes, in accordance with operating instructions that are entered each time by the user.
- clothes washing machines of this kind are not capable of providing any indication relating to some of the operating or process parameters that are a consequence of the particular control settings, i.e. the particular commands entered by the user, so that the latter is practically in a position in which he/she has to set the controls almost "blindly", in the sense that he/she has to rely solely upon his/her ability in setting the controls in a properly accurate manner based on his/her being more or less familiar with the ways and modes of operation of the machine.
- an inconsistence may exist if a command is entered for the machine to perform an intensive washing programme at a very low temperature of the washing liquor, since an intensive washing programme is specifically intended for use in connection with heavily soiled washloads that require being generally handled with hot water, i.e. at a very high temperature of the washing liquor.
- washing woollens - which is largely known to require a special cycle involving particular process parameters - at a very high temperature of the washing liquor, which is certainly not the ideal one for handling woollens.
- Still another example relates to the economy of the selected cycle.
- a given washing result on a given washload may be obtained both with a prolonged washing cycle performed at a low temperature and with a quicker, shorter washing cycle performed at a much higher temperature and, therefore, at a much higher cost.
- the ability to select in a proper manner in such case is by no means unimportant, since the user might be in a position as to decide to select either one or the other of these cycles depending on his/her own particular preference and the particular circumstances existing at the moment; for example, under normal circumstances a user is quite likely to decide to select the most economic one between the two cycle options, whereas the quickest, i.e. shortest cycle would be the preferred option in certain other cases, notwithstanding the higher cost penalty.
- the final process parameters of the machine eg. the spin-extraction speed, the washing temperature, the type of clothes in the washload, and so on
- additional information which - as appropriately processed by the control unit of the machine - contributes to a more accurate definition of the washing cycle to be performed.
- Machines of this kind can certainly be considered as a significant improvement, since they actually enable the user to at least partly define the desired priorities.
- the user fails to be appropriately informed in advance on which effects his/her settings or selections will actually bring about, i.e. which results can ultimately be expected from the particular selection made by him/her, so that he/she is practically unable to intervene in order to modify the settings accordingly, in the case that these turn out to be inappropriate in view of his/her preferences, priorities or requirements at that particular moment.
- a clothes washing machine comprises a plurality of variables that can be commanded, i.e. controlled in a variety of manners so as to take different, independently selectable states.
- the variables that will be considered here are the information pieces entered by the user concerning both the characteristics and properties of the clothes loaded in the machine for washing and some operating modes and parameters of the machine itself.
- variable "1) type of fabrics” can take following states corresponding to the different nature of the fabrics constituting the washload:
- variable "2) Type of washing process to be performed can be selected according to one of following distinct states:
- Each control for each state of each variable is connected to a central control, storage and processing unit (not shown) that is adapted to perform an identification of each combination being set, i.e. selected by the user through the controls commanding said variables.
- said control unit Upon having so selected the desired settings for the states of the various variables, said control unit identifies which one among the C possible combinations has been selected.
- This identification and recognition process can be most easily be carried out using largely known data processing techniques and means.
- control, storage and processing unit is also provided with a memory, in which there are stored C groups or sets of distinct data.
- Each one of these groups or sets of data comprises all machine instruction statements (parameters) that must be used by a common operating programme to carry out a distinct washing cycle.
- Each one of these groups or sets of data further comprises, eg. in a separate storage register, a respective one of said combinations C.
- the machine in turn proposes a cycle involving:
- the machine will propose a 60-min. washing cycle with a slightly higher water usage (in view of making rinses shorter), while the performance data change as follows:
- the machine will answer by proposing a 70-min. washing cycle with a water usage of 70 litres and following performance data:
- the present invention is fully applicable to other laundry machines, such as clothes dryers, provided that the variables and the related states being set or selected refer to programming modes and schemes that are typical of these machines (eg. type and amount of clothes in the drying load, final moisture content or degree of dryness desired, and so on).
- the corresponding user data will be such as to generate indications that are effective in enabling the user to come to an appropriate final selection of the instructions to be entered, eg. the time required to complete the cycle, the energy usage, and the like).
