Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a washer wherein problems arising due to any water leakage are solved in a simple way and hence safe operating conditions are provided.
  • a household appliance which comprises a flow meter having a switch, and a control unit providing the separate control and shutting of the electro-magnetic valves in situations wherein any water flow is detected during a washing cycle although there is no water feed from the mains.
  • Patent No US2004200512 a washing appliance is described wherein the water filling process is controlled by a control system.
  • the control system provides a safety alarm to be sounded in situations wherein there is no water fill or overfill above the predetermined level and appropriate actions to be taken such that the washing appliance and external environment will not be damaged.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a washer wherein problems arising due to any water leakage or water overflow are provided to be solved by a safety algorithm run in a simple way.
  • the washer realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention is explicated in the attached claims.
  • the washer of the present invention comprises a detector detecting the water level in the tub, and a switch which is located at the lower portion of the body and which serves to measure the water level collected at the base of the body in any water leakage situation.
  • the switch is connected to the detector parallelly.
  • the safety algorithm which is run by the control unit when the water level in the tub increases, is enabled to be run also in situations wherein water is filled to the lower portion of the body.
  • the switch ends being connected directly to the detector ends through the cable tree, a separate socket is not occupied on the control unit.
  • the detector or switch is provided to function even if either one of them malfunctions, the operating one overtaking the defected one's function as well.
  • the detector is a sensor.
  • the control unit runs the safety algorithm in the situation wherein the frequency value generated by the detector remains under a certain frequency value predetermined by the producer. Since no signal can be generated in a short-circuit situation, the control unit starts to run the safety algorithm.
  • the detector is a water level switch which is triggered depending on the water level.
  • the control unit runs the safety algorithm, which is run by the detector in situations wherein the water level in the tub reaches the overflow level, since the switch is connected to the detector parallelly.
  • Figure 2 - is the schematic view of the detector and the switch in an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Figure 3 - is the schematic view of the detector and the switch in another embodiment of the present invention.
  • the washer (1) comprises a body (2), a tub (3) wherein items to be washed are disposed and the washing process is performed, a valve (4) with flow control connected between the water mains and the water inlet hose on the outside of the body (2), providing the water to be taken from the mains in a controlled way and to be cut off automatically in an error situation such as water leakage, a detector (5) measuring the water level in the tub (3), a switch (6) located at the lower portion of the body (2), serving to measure the water level collected at the lower part of the body (2) in a water leakage situation from any area such as the water inlet hose and tub (3), and a control unit (7) controlling the water level in the tub (3) according to the data detected by the detector (5) and providing appropriate actions to be taken in order to evacuate the water filled at the base of the body (2) depending on the triggering of the switch (6).
  • the detector (5) is connected to the control unit (7) and the switch (6) is parallelly connected to the detector (5).
  • the detector (5) or the switch (6) detects an error concerning the water level, one common algorithm is operated.
  • the signal required to run the safety algorithm is transmitted to the control unit (7) by the detector (5).
  • the safety algorithm comprising steps such as closing the valve (4), evacuating the water by operating the pump, stopping the heater and the motor, and hence safe operating conditions are provided for the washer (1).
  • the control unit (7) runs the safety algorithm, which is run by the control unit (7) in order to control the water level in the tub (3), when the problem of water collecting at the lower portion of the body (2) is confronted, as well.
  • the safety algorithm By means of the safety algorithm being run in a similar way, actions such as closing the valve (4), evacuating the water by operating the pump, stopping the heater and the motor are taken and hence safe operating conditions are provided for the user and the washer (1).
  • the switch (6) is not directly connected onto the control unit (7) and therefore, a separate socket is not used on the control unit (7) for this process.
  • the safety algorithm which is run by the control unit (7) in the situation wherein the water level in the tub (3) increases, can also be run when the problem of water collecting at the base of the body (2) is confronted; therefore, no revision on the software is required.
  • the solution of the problem of water collecting at the base of the body (2) is realized in an economical way.
  • the detector (5) is a sensor.
  • the float located at the lower portion of the body (2) closes the open contact of the switch (6) by ascending.
  • the detector (5) short circuits since the switch (6) is connected to the detector (5) parallelly. Since the water level detector (5) that short circuits cannot generate frequency, the output is 0 Hz.
  • the control unit (7) assumes the water level in the tub (3) as the overflow level and operates the safety algorithm.
  • the detector (5) is a water level switch which is triggered depending on the water level.
  • the switch (6) is connected to the overflow level contact of the detector (5) parallelly. Since the switch (6) is connected to the detector
  • the safety algorithm which is run by the triggering of the detector (5), is run by the control unit (7) when water fills the lower portion of the body (2) during the operation of the washer (1), as well.
  • the float located at the base of the body (2) closes the open contact of the switch
  • the detector (5) short circuits since the switch (6) is connected to the detector (5) parallelly.
  • the control unit (7) runs the security algorithm as if the detector (5) detected a water level increase in the tub (3) also in this short circuit situation occurring in any problem of water collecting at the base of the body (2).
  • the problem of water collecting at the lower portion of the body (2) is solved without requiring an element that causes incremental costs.
  • the washer (1) of the present invention is a dishwasher or a washing machine.
