- FIG. 3 shows a flowchart for explaining an operation of the level measuring device 17 according to a possible embodiment of the invention.
- the flowchart is illustrated by steps S1 to S8, to which the following keywords are assigned:
- step S1 the level measuring device 17 starts the process. This can be done for example when switching on the water-conducting household appliance 1 or after a warm start. As a result, the user is informed early about the current operating state.
- a start can be made at the beginning of a program run to check whether a proper program execution is possible. As a result, it can also be checked whether a user has filled or filled in one or more laundry treatment agents 10 in sufficient quantity.
- a start can also be made at the end of a program run in order to inform the user about the operating state after the program execution, in particular a washing program.
- step S2 the measurement of the level of at least one chamber 9 of the shell 6 takes place.
- the filling level 1 1 is detected by means of the float 16 of the float switch 15. This detection can be done discretely, ie in steps.
- two threshold values for the filling level 11 and the current level are provided. If the measured level is not sufficient to allow a proper program flow of the water-bearing household appliance 1 and thus the filling level 11 is below a first threshold, then the level is set to "empty". If the filling level 1 1 indicates a level that is sufficient only for a few program runs, especially for about one or two program runs, then the level is set to "almost-empty". The filling level 1 1 lies between the first and a second threshold.
- the level is sufficient for a larger number of program runs, especially for more than two program runs, so that the level is set to "full".
- step S3 it is checked whether the level indicates an empty state. If so, which is illustrated in FIG. 3 by the arrow labeled "1", then the process proceeds to step S4.
- step S4 the control device 18 of the fill level measuring device 17 controls the light-emitting means 20 so that a red LED lights up. In addition, a fast flashing of the LED is caused. Since the luminous means 20 or a light outlet 24, 25 is arranged in the region of the panel 8 of the shell 6, a user can intuitively grasp that a filling or filling of a laundry treatment agent 10 in at least one chamber 9 of the shell 6 is required.
- step S4 ends in step S8. In this case, the method S8 is terminated with an error code, so that after a certain time, a renewed start with the step S1. If it is decided in step S3 that the level is not "empty”, then in the direction indicated by "0", i.e. in the direction indicated by "0" in FIG. with step S5, continued.
- step S5 it is decided whether the level is "almost empty”. If yes, then continue with step S6.
- step S6 the control device 18 activates a yellow "LED" of the luminous means 20, causing a slow flashing. This signals to a user that, while there is no error and program execution is possible with respect to the existing laundry treating agent 10, but shortly, ie, approximately one or two further program runs, filling or filling of at least one laundry treating agent 10 with respect to a chamber 9 is required. The process ends in step S8, terminating the process without error.
- step S5 If the decision in the step S5 is denied, then the process proceeds to the step S7. In this case, the level is equal to "full". Thus, a green
- the stocked laundry treatment agent 10 is sufficient for a larger number of further program runs, so that no
- the operation of the water-conducting household appliance is also facilitated by the fact that the level may be difficult to estimate.
