Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for carrying out rinsing programs in a dishwasher, in which a program selection by means of an operating device takes place and then depending on the filling state of at least one container for storing rinse aid and / or regenerating salt by the program control device either a standard program or a program adapted to combination products program is carried out, wherein the combination products in addition to a cleaning substance at least one softening substance and / or a rinse aid.
- multi-in-1 cleaners In addition to standard cleaners, dishwashers are increasingly offered combination products, so-called "multi-in-1" products.
- 2-in-1 cleaners contain a rinse aid substance
- 3-in-1 cleaners additionally contain a softening substance.
- 4-in-1 and 5-in-1 cleaners with other ingredients known. According to the manufacturer, users of such products and tap hardnesses of up to 21 ° d can refrain from using rinse aid or regenerating salt. In many cases, this leads to a poorer rinsing or drying result. In particular, the clear rinse effect of the combination products often does not reach the level of a separately dosed liquid rinse aid.
- the dishwasher requires different program sequences when using combination products and when using standard cleaners in order to achieve a satisfactory cleaning and drying result.
- these are, in addition to the suppression or reduction of the rinse aid and the Regenerierzyklen longer program life (especially in the drying program section), higher liquor temperatures in the rinse program section and reduced water changes (suppression of the second intermediate rinsing).
- the invention thus raises the problem to improve a method of the type mentioned in that in a simpler and safer way always the wash program is used, which is optimally adapted to the detergent used.
- the invention is based on the finding that it generally leads to better cleaning and drying results with a presumed incorrect operation when combination products are used in standard programs with salt and rinse aid supply than when standard cleaners are used in adjusted programs without salt and rinse aid supply. Consequently, there are advantages by presetting the dishwasher to a program adapted to combination products. On the one hand, this takes account of the fact that more and more combination products are being used. On the other hand, the filling of regenerating salt or rinse aid, which is deliberately made by the user, a much safer indication of the use of standard cleaner than it is the non-filling of these additives for the use of combination products.
- the device is already equipped with the program characteristics (see above) required for the use of combination products, the conditions which are impaired by the absence of salt and rinse aid can be compensated for when they are used.
- the information about the implementation of such a customized program can be signaled to the user via LED display.
- the filling of the reservoir for salt and / or rinse aid is necessary. This filling is detected by existing sensors in the containers and transmitted to the program control device. This certainly recognizes the user's desire for a standard program and executes this for a given number of program sequences. The sensing of the filling can be done by arranged in the reservoir float switch.
- the number of program sequences of the standard program ie the program sequences without adaptation to the use of a combination product is then determined by the program control device as a function of a sensory and / or determined by user inputs earliest exhaustion of the rinse aid or the regenerating salt. Since the dosing amount of the rinse aid is adjustable in most dishwashers and the regeneration time of the water softener depends on the nature of the tap water, the number of program cycles without adaptation can not be hard-coded. However, it can be calculated by the program control device, since the data necessary for this purpose are generally known. This includes the water hardness, which is known either by adjusting the controller or by sensors, as well as the amount of water taken during operation, which is measured by an impeller. In addition, the maximum intake amount of the salt container must be stored in a memory, then the program control device can calculate when there is no more salt in the reservoir.
- the amount of dosed rinse aid is preset at the factory or varied by the user. If, in addition, the receiving volume of the rinse aid storage container is known, the number of program sequences can also be calculated here after which the stock has been used up. The earliest exhaustion of one of the two additives will then be indicative of conversion to the basic program, ie. h., used on the customized program. When the salt container and the rinse aid reservoir are refilled, the number of program sequences is readjusted without adaptation by the program controller and then carried out.
- At least one deficiency indicator is switched on from the number of program sequences and switched off after a predetermined further number of program sequences without filling at least one container with rinse aid or regenerating salt.
- the deficiency indicators for salt and / or rinse aid are switched on when first commissioning the device and shortly before the corresponding registered vacancy of the reservoir. By filling the container they are deactivated again. If the user uses a combination product and therefore purposely refrains from filling the storage containers, the displays are switched off again by the program control device after a predetermined further number of program sequences, which should be between two and five, or preferably only flashing on program start or at the end of the program switched off during program execution.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Durchführung von Spülprogrammen in einer Geschirrspülmaschine, bei dem eine Programmauswahl mittels einer Bedieneinrichtung erfolgt und anschließend in Abhängigkeit vom Füllzustand mindestens eines Behälters zur Bevorratung von Klarspülmittel und/oder Regeneriersalz durch die Programmsteuereinrichtung entweder ein Standardprogramm oder ein an Kombinationsprodukte angepasstes Programm ausgeführt wird, wobei die Kombinationsprodukte neben einer Reinigungssubstanz mindestens eine Enthärtungssubstanz und/oder eine Klarspülsubstanz enthalten.The invention relates to a method for carrying out rinsing programs in a dishwasher, in which a program selection by means of an operating device takes place and then depending on the filling state of at least one container for storing rinse aid and / or regenerating salt by the program control device either a standard program or a program adapted to combination products program is carried out, wherein the combination products in addition to a cleaning substance at least one softening substance and / or a rinse aid.
Neben Standardreinigern werden für Geschirrspülmaschinen vermehrt Kombinationsprodukte, sogenannte "Multi-in-1 "-Produkte angeboten. 2-in-1-Reiniger enthalten neben dem Reinigungsmittel eine Klarspülsubstanz, 3-in-1-Reiniger zusätzlich noch eine Enthärtungssubstanz. Es sind außerdem noch 4-in-1- und 5-in1-Reiniger mit weiteren Inhaltsstoffen bekannt. Laut Herstellerangaben kann der Anwender bei solchen Produkten und Leitungswasserhärten von bis zu 21 °d auf die Verwendung von Klarspüler bzw. Regeneriersalz verzichten. In vielen Fällen führt dies zu einem schlechteren Spül- bzw. Trocknungsergebnis. Insbesondere der Klarspüleffekt der Kombinationsprodukte erreicht häufig nicht das Niveau eines separat dosierten flüssigen Klarspülers. Deshalb besteht der Wunsch, durch Programmanpassung bessere Spülergebnisse zu erreichen, siehe beispielsweise
Prinzipiell benötigt die Geschirrspülmaschine unterschiedliche Programmabläufe bei Verwendung von Kombinationsprodukten und bei Verwendung von Standardreinigern, um ein zufriedenstellendes Reinigungs- und Trocknungsergebnis zu erzielen. Bei Verwendung von Kombinationsprodukten sind dies neben der Unterdrückung oder Verringerung der Klarspülmittelzufuhr und der Regenerierzyklen längere Programmlaufzeiten (vor allem im Trocknungs-Programmabschnitt), höhere Flottentemperaturen im Klarspül-Programmabschnitt und reduzierte Wasserwechsel (Unterdrückung des zweiten Zwischenspülens).In principle, the dishwasher requires different program sequences when using combination products and when using standard cleaners in order to achieve a satisfactory cleaning and drying result. When using combination products, these are, in addition to the suppression or reduction of the rinse aid and the Regenerierzyklen longer program life (especially in the drying program section), higher liquor temperatures in the rinse program section and reduced water changes (suppression of the second intermediate rinsing).
Bei den Geschirrspülmaschinen gemäß
Es besteht deshalb der Wunsch, bei Verwendung von Kombinationsprodukten eine automatische Programmanpassung anzubieten. In der
Aus der
Der Erfindung stellt sich somit das Problem, ein Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend zu verbessern, dass auf einfachere und sichere Weise immer das Spülprogramm verwendet wird, welches an das verwendete Reinigungsmittel optimal angepasst ist.The invention thus raises the problem to improve a method of the type mentioned in that in a simpler and safer way always the wash program is used, which is optimally adapted to the detergent used.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem durch ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden Unteransprüchen.According to the invention, this problem is solved by a method having the features of patent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention will become apparent from the following subclaims.
Der Erfindung liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, dass es bei einer angenommenen Fehlbedienung grundsätzlich zu besseren Reinigungs- und Trocknungsergebnissen führt, wenn Kombinationsprodukte in Standard-Programmen mit Salz- und Klarspülerzufuhr eingesetzt werden, als wenn Standardreiniger in angepassten Programmen ohne Salz- und Klarspülerzufuhr verwendet werden. Demzufolge ergeben sich Vorteile durch eine Voreinstellung der Geschirrspülmaschine auf ein an Kombinationsprodukte angepasstes Programm. Hierdurch wird einerseits der Tatsache Rechnung getragen, dass vermehrt Kombinationsprodukte verwendet werden. Andererseits ist das Einfüllen von Regeneriersalz oder Klarspülmittel, welches vom Benutzer bewusst vorgenommen wird, ein wesentlich sichereres Indiz für die Verwendung von Standardreiniger als es das Nichteinfüllen dieser Zusätze für die Verwendung von Kombinationsprodukten ist. Sollte der Benutzer einen Wechsel des Reinigertyps bei gefüllten Behältern vornehmen, wird zwar trotz der Verwendung von Kombinationsprodukten der Enthärter regeneriert und Klarspülmittel zugegeben, dies bewirkt aber kein nachteiliges Reinigungs- und Trocknungsergebnis, wie es bei Durchführung eines angepassten Programms ohne gleichzeitige Verwendung von Kombinationsreiniger der Fall wäre.The invention is based on the finding that it generally leads to better cleaning and drying results with a presumed incorrect operation when combination products are used in standard programs with salt and rinse aid supply than when standard cleaners are used in adjusted programs without salt and rinse aid supply. Consequently, there are advantages by presetting the dishwasher to a program adapted to combination products. On the one hand, this takes account of the fact that more and more combination products are being used. On the other hand, the filling of regenerating salt or rinse aid, which is deliberately made by the user, a much safer indication of the use of standard cleaner than it is the non-filling of these additives for the use of combination products. If the user makes a change in the type of detergent in filled containers, despite the use of combination products, the softener is regenerated and rinse aid added, but this does not cause adverse cleaning and drying results, as is the case with a customized program without simultaneous use of combination cleaner would.
Wenn das Gerät bereits im Auslieferungszustand mit den für die Verwendung von Kombinationsprodukten notwendigen Programmcharakteristika (s. o.) ausgestattet ist, können bei deren Einsatz die durch Fehlen von Salz und Klarspüler verschlechterten Bedingungen ausgeglichen werden. Die Information über die Durchführung eines solchen angepassten Programms kann dem Benutzer per LED-Anzeige signalisiert werden. Wenn nun der Anwender einen Standard-Reiniger ohne Klarspüler- oder Enthärter-Zusätze verwenden möchte, wird das Befüllen der Vorratsbehälter für Salz und/oder Klarspülmittel notwendig. Diese Befüllung wird durch in den Behältern vorhandenen Sensoren erkannt und an die Programmsteuereinrichtung übermittelt. Diese erkennt sicher den Wunsch des Anwenders nach einem Standardprogramm und führt dieses für eine vorgegebene Anzahl von Programmabläufen aus. Die Sensierung der Befüllung kann durch in den Vorratsbehältern angeordnete Schwimmerschalter erfolgen.If the device is already equipped with the program characteristics (see above) required for the use of combination products, the conditions which are impaired by the absence of salt and rinse aid can be compensated for when they are used. The information about the implementation of such a customized program can be signaled to the user via LED display. Now, if the user wants to use a standard cleaner without rinse aid or softener additives, the filling of the reservoir for salt and / or rinse aid is necessary. This filling is detected by existing sensors in the containers and transmitted to the program control device. This certainly recognizes the user's desire for a standard program and executes this for a given number of program sequences. The sensing of the filling can be done by arranged in the reservoir float switch.
Es ist vorteilhaft, wenn das Standardprogramm nur bei Befüllung des Salzbehälters und des Klarspülmittel-Vorratsbehälters ausgeführt wird. Hierdurch wird berücksichtigt, dass nur das Vorhandensein beider Zusätze bei Verwendung eines Standardreinigers ein zufriedenstellendes Reinigungs- und Trocknungsergebnis gewährleistet.It is advantageous if the standard program is executed only when filling the salt container and the rinse aid reservoir. This takes into account that only the presence of both additives when using a standard cleaner ensures a satisfactory cleaning and drying results.
Die Anzahl der Programmabläufe des Standardprogramms, d.h. der Programmabläufe ohne Anpassung an die Verwendung eines Kombinationsproduktes wird dann von der Programmsteuereinrichtung abhängig von einem sensorisch und/oder durch Benutzereingaben ermittelten frühesten Aufbrauch des Klarspülmittels oder des Regeneriersalzes ermittelt. Da in den meisten Geschirrspülern die Dosiermenge des Klarspülmittels einstellbar ist und der Regenerier-Zeitpunkt des Enthärters von der Beschaffenheit des Leitungswassers abhängig ist, kann die Anzahl der Programmabläufe ohne Anpassung nicht fest programmiert werden. Sie kann aber von der Programmsteuereinrichtung berechnet werden, da die hierfür notwendigen Daten in der Regel bekannt sind. Dazu gehört die Wasserhärte, die entweder durch Einstellung der Steuerung oder durch Sensoren bekannt ist, sowie die während des Betriebs aufgenommene Wassermenge, die durch einen Flügelradzähler gemessen wird. Zusätzlich muss in einem Speicher die maximale Aufnahmemenge des Salzbehälters abgelegt sein, dann kann die Programmsteuereinrichtung errechnen, wann kein Salz mehr im Vorratsbehälter vorhanden ist.The number of program sequences of the standard program, ie the program sequences without adaptation to the use of a combination product is then determined by the program control device as a function of a sensory and / or determined by user inputs earliest exhaustion of the rinse aid or the regenerating salt. Since the dosing amount of the rinse aid is adjustable in most dishwashers and the regeneration time of the water softener depends on the nature of the tap water, the number of program cycles without adaptation can not be hard-coded. However, it can be calculated by the program control device, since the data necessary for this purpose are generally known. This includes the water hardness, which is known either by adjusting the controller or by sensors, as well as the amount of water taken during operation, which is measured by an impeller. In addition, the maximum intake amount of the salt container must be stored in a memory, then the program control device can calculate when there is no more salt in the reservoir.
Die Menge des dosierten Klarspülmittels wird werkseitig voreingestellt oder durch den Anwender variiert. Wenn zusätzlich das Aufnahmevolumen des Klarspülmittel-Vorratsbehälters bekannt ist, kann auch hier die Zahl der Programmabläufe errechnet werden, nach denen der Vorrat aufgebraucht ist. Der früheste Aufbrauch eines der beiden Zusatzstoffe wird dann als Indiz zur Umstellung auf das Grundprogramm, d. h., auf das angepasste Programm verwendet. Bei einer erneuten Befüllung des Salzbehälters und des Klarspülmittel-Vorratsbehälters wird die Anzahl der Programmabläufe ohne Anpassung von der Programmsteuerung neu ermittelt und diese dann durchgeführt.The amount of dosed rinse aid is preset at the factory or varied by the user. If, in addition, the receiving volume of the rinse aid storage container is known, the number of program sequences can also be calculated here after which the stock has been used up. The earliest exhaustion of one of the two additives will then be indicative of conversion to the basic program, ie. h., used on the customized program. When the salt container and the rinse aid reservoir are refilled, the number of program sequences is readjusted without adaptation by the program controller and then carried out.
Es ist insbesondere vorteilhaft, wenn vor dem Erreichen des letzten Programmablaufs aus der Anzahl der Programmabläufe mindestens eine Mangelanzeige eingeschaltet und nach einer vorgegebenen weiteren Anzahl von Programmabläufen ohne Befüllung mindestens eines Behälters mit Klarspülmittel oder Regeneriersalz ausgeschaltet wird. Die Mangelanzeigen für Salz und/oder Klarspüler werden bei Erstinbetriebnahme des Gerätes und kurz vor dem entsprechend registriertem Leerstand der Vorratsbehälter eingeschaltet. Durch die Befüllung der Behälter werden sie wieder deaktiviert. Wenn der Anwender ein Kombinationsprodukt verwendet und deshalb vorsätzlich das Auffüllen der Vorratsbehälter unterlässt, werden die Anzeigen von der Programmsteuereinrichtung nach einer vorgegebenen weiteren Anzahl von Programmabläufen, die zwischen zwei und fünf liegen sollte, wieder ausgeschaltet oder nur beim Programmstart oder beim Programmende vorzugsweise blinkend eingeschaltet und während des Programmablaufs ausgeschaltet. Die Anzeige kann auch zusätzlich durch eine separate Bedieneinrichtung vom Anwender ausschaltbar gestaltet sein.It is particularly advantageous if, before reaching the last program sequence, at least one deficiency indicator is switched on from the number of program sequences and switched off after a predetermined further number of program sequences without filling at least one container with rinse aid or regenerating salt. The deficiency indicators for salt and / or rinse aid are switched on when first commissioning the device and shortly before the corresponding registered vacancy of the reservoir. By filling the container they are deactivated again. If the user uses a combination product and therefore purposely refrains from filling the storage containers, the displays are switched off again by the program control device after a predetermined further number of program sequences, which should be between two and five, or preferably only flashing on program start or at the end of the program switched off during program execution. The display can also be designed to be switched off by a separate control device by the user.
