Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Pumpe mit einem elektronisch kommutiertem Motor für eine Umfluteinrichtung oder Ablaufeinrichtung in einer Waschmaschine, umfassend einen Laugenbehälter zur Aufnahme von Waschflüssigkeit zum Behandeln von Behandlungsgut innerhalb des Laugenbehälter, wobei das Verfahren zumindest eine Waschphase hat, bei der sich im Laugenbehälter Waschflüssigkeit befindet, wobei zum Ende der Waschphase mittels der Ablaufeinrichtung aus dem Laugenbehälter heraus gefördert wird.The invention relates to a method for operating a pump with an electronically commutated motor for a Umfluteinrichtung or drain device in a washing machine, comprising a tub for receiving washing liquid for treating laundry within the tub, wherein the method has at least one washing phase, in the Lye container washing liquid is, being promoted to the end of the washing phase by means of the drainage device out of the tub.
Zum Waschen von Wäsche in einer Trommelwaschmaschine wird die Wäsche in der drehenden Trommel bewegt, wodurch die Benetzung bzw. Durchfeuchtung der Wäsche mit der Waschflüssigkeit und die Waschmechanik bewirkt werden. Hierbei befindet sich Wasser im Laugenbehälter bzw. in der Trommel, wobei durch die Bewegung der Wäsche der Schmutz ausgespült wird. Um die Waschlauge möglichst vollständig mit der Wäsche in Verbindung zu bringen, ist es bekannt, die Wäsche und einem Teil der Waschflüssigkeit mittels Trommeldrehung aus dem unteren Bereich anzuheben, so dass die in der Trommel befindlichen Wäschestücke von oben mit Waschflüssigkeit berieselt werden bzw. mit der Waschflüssigkeit durchmischt werden. Nach dem Waschen wird die Waschflüssigkeit abgepumpt, wobei durch ein sogenanntes Zwischenschleudern die Waschflüssigkeit aus der Wäsche aufgrund der auftretenden Zentrifugalkraft aus der Wäsche ausgetrieben wird.For washing laundry in a drum washing machine, the laundry is moved in the rotating drum, whereby the wetting of the laundry with the washing liquid and the washing mechanism are effected. In this case, there is water in the tub or in the drum, wherein the dirt is flushed out by the movement of the laundry. In order to bring the wash as completely as possible in connection with the laundry, it is known to raise the laundry and a portion of the washing liquid by means of drum rotation from the lower region, so that the laundry items located in the drum are sprinkled from above with washing liquid or with the Washing liquid are mixed. After washing, the washing liquid is pumped, wherein the washing liquid is expelled from the laundry due to the centrifugal force occurring from the laundry by a so-called intermediate centrifuging.
Nachteilig ist es hierbei, dass bei stark saugfähiger Wäsche beim Anschleudern viel Wasser aus der Wäsche austritt, das nicht vollständig von einer konstant angetriebenen Pumpe der Ablaufeinrichtung abgepumpt werden kann. Um den unerwünschten Effekt des sogenannten Wassermantels zu vermeiden, wird das Schleudern unterbrochen, bis die Waschflüssigkeit im Laugenbehälter einen vorgegebenen Pegel unterschritten hat. Danach wird das Schleudern wieder aktiviert. Nachteilig ist hierbei, dass sich das gesamte Waschprogramm verlängert und aufgrund der wiederholten Schleuderhochläufe eine erhöhte mechanische Belastung für die Wäsche stattfinden kann.The disadvantage here is that in strongly absorbent laundry when spinning much water exits the laundry, which can not be completely pumped by a constantly driven pump drainage. In order to avoid the undesirable effect of the so-called water jacket, the spinning is interrupted until the washing liquid has fallen below a predetermined level in the tub. Thereafter, the spin is activated again. The disadvantage here is that extends the entire wash program and due to the repeated spin ramps increased mechanical stress on the laundry can take place.

Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zu Grunde, ein Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Pumpe bereitzustellen, bei dem ein optimaler Betrieb eines wasserführenden Gerätes erreicht wird.The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a method for operating a pump, in which an optimal operation of a water-conducting device is achieved.
Die Aufgabe wird durch ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1, durch ein mechatronisches System gemäß Anspruch 8 und durch eine Waschmaschine gemäß Anspruch 9 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungen ergeben sich aus den jeweils abhängigen Ansprüchen.The object is achieved by a method having the features of
Beim erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren ist es vorgesehen, dass die Förderleistung der Pumpe in Abhängigkeit des erfassten Pegels der Waschflüssigkeit im Behandlungsbehälter variiert wird. Dadurch kann anhand des Programms, das einen Behandlungsablauf in der Waschmaschine definiert, die Förderleistung der Pumpe gezielt beeinflusst bzw. vorgegeben werden, sodass der Behandlungsablauf nicht oder kaum auf die Eigenschaften der Pumpe angepasst werden muss.In the method according to the invention, it is provided that the delivery rate of the pump is varied as a function of the detected level of the washing liquid in the treatment container. As a result, based on the program that defines a treatment procedure in the washing machine, the delivery rate of the pump can be specifically influenced or specified, so that the treatment process does not have to be adapted or hardly adapted to the properties of the pump.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausführung wird bei Überschreitung eines vorgegebenen oberen Pegels der Waschflüssigkeit im Laugenbehälter Behandlungsbehälter die Förderleistung der Pumpe zumindest zeitweise erhöht, gegenüber der Nennförderleistung. Dieser auch als Boostbetrieb bezeichnete Zustand ermöglicht es, eine Pumpe mit einer kleineren Nennförderleistung zu verwenden, die für den normalen Dauerbetrieb vollkommen ausreicht. Für die zeitlich begrenzte, erhöhte Belastung ist die Pumpe bzw. der Motor der Pumpe geeignet bzw. die zeitliche Begrenzung ist so bemessen, dass keine Zerstörung der Pumpe bzw. des Motors eintritt.In an advantageous embodiment, when a predetermined upper level of the washing liquid in the tub treatment container is exceeded, the delivery rate of the pump is at least temporarily increased, compared to the nominal delivery rate. This state, also known as boost mode, makes it possible to use a pump with a smaller nominal delivery capacity, which is perfectly adequate for normal continuous operation. For the time-limited, increased load, the pump or the motor of the pump is suitable or the time limit is such that no destruction of the pump or the motor occurs.
Hierbei ist es vorteilhaft, dass beim Unterschreiten eines unteren Grenzwertes die Förderleistung der Pumpe vermindert wird, gegenüber der Nennförderleistung. Dadurch kann die Zeit des Boostbetriebs verkürzt werden, wenn der Pegel vor Ablauf der maximal zulässigen Zeit für diesen Überlastbetrieb dies zulässt.It is advantageous that falls below a lower limit, the capacity of the pump is reduced, compared to the nominal flow rate. As a result, the time of the boost operation can be shortened if the level before the expiration of the maximum allowable time for this overload operation permits.
In einer zweckmäßigen Ausführung erfolgen die Erhöhung und/oder die Verminderung der Förderleistung stufenweise. Beispielsweise kann bei einer einfachen Ausführung der Boostbetrieb mit der 1,2 bis 2 - fachen Nennförderleistung erfolgen.In an expedient embodiment, the increase and / or the reduction of the delivery rate are gradual. For example, in a simple embodiment, the boost mode can be carried out with 1.2 to 2 times the nominal delivery rate.
In einer anderen zweckmäßigen Ausführung erfolgen die Erhöhung und/oder die Verminderung der Förderleistung kontinuierlich. Somit kann ein bedarfsweise angepasster Boostbetrieb bereitgestellt werden, bei dem sich der Überlastungsfaktor während des Boostbetriebs verändert, je nach Bedingungen bzw. Flüssigkeitspegeln, die sich im Behandlungsbehälter einstellen.In another expedient embodiment, the increase and / or the reduction of the delivery rate are carried out continuously. Thus, an on-demand boost mode may be provided in which the overload factor varies during the boost operation, depending on the conditions or levels of liquid present in the treatment vessel.
Beim Einsatz des Verfahrens in einer Waschmaschine, die innerhalb des Laugenbehälters eine horizontal oder geneigt drehbar gelagerte Trommel umfasst, die mittels eines Motors angetrieben wird, und das Verfahren eine Schleuderphase zum Entwässern der Wäschestücke umfasst, ist es vorteilhaft, dass die Förderleistung während der Schleuderphase in Abhängigkeit des erfassten Pegels der Waschflüssigkeit innerhalb des Laugenbehälters erhöht oder vermindert wird. Kurz nach Beginn der Schleuderphase muss sehr schnell eine erhöhte Flüssigkeitsmenge aus dem Laugengebehälter herausgefördert werden, damit sich kein sogenannter Wassermantel zwischen der Trommelwand und der Laugenbehälterwand durch mitgerissene Flüssigkeit bildet. Durch das Erhöhen der Förderleistung zu Beginn der Schleuderphase wird dieser Effekt vermieden.When using the method in a washing machine, which comprises within the tub a horizontally or inclined rotatably mounted drum, which is driven by a motor, and the method comprises a spin phase for dewatering the laundry, it is advantageous that the capacity during the spin phase in Depending on the detected level of the washing liquid is increased or decreased within the tub. Shortly after the start of the spin phase an increased amount of liquid must be very quickly conveyed out of the suds container so that no so-called water jacket between the drum wall and the suds container wall is formed by entrained liquid. Increasing the capacity at the beginning of the spin phase avoids this effect.
Insgesamt ist es zweckmäßig, den vorgegebenen Zeitraum, in dem die Förderleistung der Pumpe erhöht wird, auf eine Zeit zu begrenzen, die im Bereich von 3 bis 15 Sek. liegt. Ferner muss sichergestellt sein, dass sich einem Boostbetrieb eine Phase anschließt, die mindestens 5 - mal so lang ist, wie der Boostbetrieb, wobei in dieser Phase der Motor abgeschaltet oder mit Nennleistung betrieben wird. Solche verhältnismäßig kurze thermische Überlastphasen führen nicht zu Schäden des Motors.Overall, it is expedient to limit the predetermined period in which the delivery rate of the pump is increased to a time which is in the range of 3 to 15 seconds. It must also be ensured that a boost operation is followed by a phase that is at least 5 times longer than the boost mode, during which phase the motor is switched off or operated at nominal power. Such relatively short thermal overload phases do not cause damage to the motor.
Ein Frequenzumrichter zur Bestromung zumindest eines elektronisch kommutierten Motors zum Antrieb einer Pumpe zur Förderung von Waschflüssigkeit in einem wasserführenden Gerät ist auch vorgesehen, der dazu eingerichtet ist, für einen vorgegebenen Zeitraum dem Motor eine erhöhte elektrische Leistung in Form einer erhöhten Spannung, Strom und/oder Frequenz zuzuführen, die dazu geeignet ist, für den vorbestimmten Zeitraum eine erhöhte Förderleistung der Pumpe zu bewirken, wobei der vorgegebene Zeitraum für die erhöhte elektrische Leitung dem Frequenzumrichter zugeführt werden kann. Dadurch kann eine entsprechende bereits vorhandene Pumpe mit einer einfachen Modifizierung des Umrichters für einen die Flüssigkeitsförderung bedarfsorientierten Betrieb eingerichtet werden.A frequency converter for energizing at least one electronically commutated motor for driving a pump for conveying washing liquid in a water-conducting device is also provided, which is adapted for a given period of time the motor increased electrical power in the form of increased voltage, current and / or Supply frequency which is adapted to cause an increased flow rate of the pump for the predetermined period of time, wherein the predetermined period for the increased electrical conduction can be supplied to the frequency converter. Thereby, a corresponding existing pump can be set up with a simple modification of the converter for a demand-oriented operation of the liquid delivery.
Die Erfindung betrifft ferner ein mechantronisches System, umfassend einen Frequenzumrichter wie vorstehend beschrieben und zumindest einen Motor zum Antrieb einer Pumpe, wobei der Motor ein permanentmagneterregter Synchronmotor ist. Das mechatronische System stellt eine optimale Funktion des Motors für den bedarfsorientierten Pumpenbetrieb bereit, weil die Komponenten und das Schaltverhalten aller Komponenten im Frequenzumrichter optimal auf die Eigenschaften des Motors abgestimmt sind.The invention further relates to a mechantronic system comprising a frequency converter as described above and at least one motor for driving a pump, wherein the motor is a permanent magnet synchronous motor. The mechatronic system provides optimum engine function for on-demand pump operation because the components and switching behavior of all components in the frequency converter are optimally matched to the characteristics of the engine.
In einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung umfasst das mechatronische System einen weiteren elektronisch kommutierten Motor zum Antrieb einer weiteren Pumpe, wobei der Frequenzumrichter dazu eingerichtet ist, für einen vorbestimmten Zeitraum einen der beiden Motoren mit erhöhter elektrischer Leistung zu versorgen, und den jeweils anderen Motor mit höchstens Nennleistung zu versorgen. Damit wird eine zu hohe Belastung des Frequenzumrichters vermieden, wenn jeweils nur einem einzigen Motor die erhöhte elektrische Leistung zugeführt wird. Somit können alle Komponenten des für zwei Motoren vorgesehenen Frequenzumrichters auf Nennlast ausgelegt werden, ohne dass es zu Überhitzungsschäden kommt.In an advantageous development, the mechatronic system comprises a further electronically commutated motor for driving a further pump, wherein the frequency converter is adapted to supply one of the two motors with increased electrical power for a predetermined period, and the other motor with at most rated power supply. This avoids overloading the frequency converter if only one single motor is supplied with the increased electrical power. Thus, all components of the designed for two motors frequency converter can be designed for nominal load, without causing overheating damage.
Die Erfindung betrifft ferner eine Waschmaschine mit einem Laugenbehälter zur Aufnahme von Waschflüssigkeit zum Behandeln von Wäsche, einer im Laugenbehälter horizontal drehbar gelagerte Trommel, einem Motor zum Drehen der Trommel, einem Heizkörper, einer Ablaufeinrichtung umfassend ein mechatronisches System wie vorstehend beschrieben, einer Wasserzulaufeinrichtung und einer Steuereinrichtung zum Steuern der einzelnen Phasen des ausgewählten Waschprogramms, und ferner zumindest einen Sensor zur Erfassung bzw. Ermittlung des Flüssigkeitspegels innerhalb des Laugenbehälters, der mit der Steuereinrichtung in Wirkverbindung steht, wobei die Steuereinrichtung mit dem Frequenzumrichter zur Ansteuerung des Motors für die Pumpe in Wirkverbindung steht und dafür eingerichtet ist, den Zeitraum für die dem Motor zugeführte erhöhte elektrische Leistung dem Frequenzumrichter zuzuführen, während der Schleuderphase in Abhängigkeit des erfassten Pegels der Waschflüssigkeit innerhalb des Laugenbehälters.
