By considering the initial load in the determination of the imbalance, it is thus possible to distinguish between a torque due to the initial load and the torque due to the imbalance.
  • the starting point is a washing program comprising a plurality of process sections, which has at least one washing process and one spinning operation, the washing process serving to clean and / or rinse laundry and smaller by operation at a low speed of the laundry drum, in particular one speed as the usual spin speed, characterized.

For example, an energy and / or a power can be calculated from the measured values for the phase currents for determining the imbalance, as will be explained in more detail below.
  • a very robust and exact determination of the imbalance can be achieved if, at least at a predetermined time after the initiation of the centrifugal operation, an electrical energy output to the drive motor since a predetermined earlier time, in particular since the start of the centrifugal operation, from the measured values for the phase current is calculated. Then the imbalance can be determined depending on the value of the energy. For the calculation of the energy, the amplitude of the AC voltage applied to the phase string is preferably also used. This embodiment takes advantage of the fact that the electrical energy absorbed by the drive motor depends on the imbalance or the distribution of the laundry items within the laundry drum.
  • the relationship is that the greater the imbalance or the more irregular the distribution of the laundry items on the inner wall of the laundry drum, the greater the load or the torque of the drive motor and thus the energy absorbed by the drive motor. If an initial loading of the laundry drum is known - it can be determined, for example, at the beginning of each washing process - then it can be deduced from the calculated energy on the load of the drive motor due to the uneven distribution of the laundry items in the laundry drum. For calculating the energy, the measured values of the strand flow determined since the start of the spinning operation can be stored, and the energy delivered to the drive motor since the start of the spinning operation can then be calculated from the stored measured values for the strand current.

  • an instantaneous power output to the drive motor can be calculated from the measured values for the phase current and preferably also from the amplitude of the AC voltage applied to the phase string exploited the fact that the greater the imbalance of the laundry drum, the more more power is absorbed by the drive motor. At a predetermined point in time after the start of the spinning operation, therefore, the power can be calculated and compared with reference values stored in a memory.

  • a progression of the electrical power delivered to the drive motor in the spin mode can be determined over time, and the unbalance can be determined as a function of a gradient or a gradient of this profile.
  • the slope of the course of the power can also be compared with reference values stored in a memory, and the unbalance can be determined depending on the result of this comparison.
  • the course of the power can also be evaluated for the duration of one revolution of the laundry drum, and depending on this course, the position of the imbalance in the laundry drum can be determined or an uneven distribution of the laundry within the laundry drum can be detected. It takes advantage of the fact that the imbalance of the laundry drum can be detected by means of a fluctuation in the course of the power for the duration of one drum revolution. The variation of this course then represents a direct measure of the distribution of imbalance in the laundry drum.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé qui vise à déterminer un balourd dans un tambour de lavage 3 d'un lave-linge 1 en mode essorage. Selon le procédé de l'invention, le tambour de lavage 3 est entraîné par un moteur d'entraînement 5. Sur des fils de phase 7, 8, 9 du moteur d'entraînement 5 sont appliquées des tensions électriques alternatives respectives U12, U23, U13, au moyen d'un onduleur 26, et ce à partir d'une tension continue Uz d'un circuit intermédiaire. Dans au moins l'un des fils de phase 7, 8, 9, on mesure un courant électrique de fil I1, I­2, I3. De plus, avant le commencement du mode essorage, on détermine une charge initiale du tambour de lavage et/ou une énergie fournie au moteur d'entraînement et intégrée pendant une opération de lavage, notamment dès le début d'une opération de lavage précédant le mode essorage. Le balourd est déterminé en fonction de valeurs de mesure pour ce courant de fil I1, I2, I3, et en fonction de la charge initiale et/ou de l'énergie intégrée pendant l'opération de lavage. En particulier, on peut déterminer une courbe d'une énergie E électrique fournie au moteur d'entraînement 5 depuis le début de l'opération d'essorage en fonction du temps t, et un gradient ΔE/Δt de cette courbe V1, V2 peut servir de base à la détermination du balourd. L'invention concerne en outre un dispositif d'entraînement correspondant 2 ainsi qu'un lave-linge 1.
