  • a central, separate from the household appliance energy management device can be provided, which can receive and process the information about the cost of electrical energy.
  • Such an energy management system can then deliver control commands to individual household appliances, on the basis of which the respective operating process is initiated, specifically at a time that was previously determined taking into account the energy costs.
  • the starting time is set here automatically or user-independent, either by means of an internal control device of the household appliance or by the aforementioned energy management device.
  • This intelligent determination of the start time is usually in a power saving mode of the household appliance, which must be activated by the user. This means that the user must first insert the material to be treated via the opening in the device housing in the interior of the household appliance. Then the user must close the lid and activate the energy saving mode.
  • the household appliance or the energy management device now determines the optimal or most favorable time for the start of the operating process, namely completely independent of the user.
  • the household appliance is switched to the so-called standby mode and only fully activated when the operating process is to be initiated.
  • the example of a washing machine this can be done as follows: The user opens the door (cover) of the washing machine and puts the laundry items in the laundry drum. The user then selects a particular wash program and puts the washer into sleep mode. The washing machine or the energy management device now determines the optimal time for the start of the washing process, taking into account the received information about the future course of the price of electrical energy, the washing machine itself is switched to standby mode to wait for the start of the washing process save electrical energy. The washing machine is then activated at the predetermined time and the washing process started.
  • a sensor which is supplied independently of other components of the household appliance - in particular independent of a main power supply of the household appliance - with electrical energy and in principle can be operated independently of whether the household appliance is activated or not.
  • a sensor is to be provided with which the monitoring of the lid with regard to unattended opening is also possible when the household appliance is disabled or is in standby mode, ie when the power supply of the household appliance is turned off.
  • the WO2001 / 91315 A1 describes an energy self-sufficient high-frequency transmitter with an electromechanical transducer. Energy generated by the electromechanical transducer, for example when opening or closing windows and doors, is used to radiate an identification and sensor signal over a radio frequency transmitter.
  • a sensor system is known, with a transmitter for wireless transmission of state or sensor signals and with a voltage generator, such as a piezoelectric element, for converting non-electrical energy into electrical energy.
  • the energy for operating the sensor system and the transmitter can be provided from the mechanical movement of the device to be monitored.
  • the voltage generator can serve as a sensor at the same time.
  • the DE 100 56 494 describes a home appliance that communicates with a distributed network and receives control information over the network from a service provider. The control information is evaluated and implemented at the location of the household appliance.
  • An inventive household appliance is designed for the treatment of a good.
  • the household appliance has a device housing, which has an opening through which the material to be treated can be inserted or introduced into an interior of the household appliance.
  • a lid is movably mounted, which serves to close the opening.
  • a status signal can be generated, which contains information about a state of the lid or which characterizes the state of the lid.
  • the status signal can be received by a receiving unit.
  • the sensor comprises an electrical pressure transducer element, on which an electrical voltage can be tapped, wherein the sensor is designed to generate the state signal as a function of the electrical voltage.
  • the receiving unit has a data memory with a first state counter, which is used for counting opening operations of the lid, and having a second state counter for counting closing operations of the lid.
  • the first state counter may then be incremented when the status signal signals the opening of the lid.
  • the second state counter can then be incremented when the status signal signals the closing of the lid.
  • an electrical pressure change element which generates an electrical voltage due to the mechanical pressure. Depending on this voltage, the state signal can then be generated, which contains the information about the state of the lid.
  • Such an electrical pressure change element has the particular advantage that it can generate the electrical voltage with which then the sensor powered and the status signal can be generated. If the sensor is supplied-in particular exclusively-with the electrical voltage of the pressure-converting element, this sensor is independent of a supply voltage of the household appliance-that is, energy-autonomous-and can therefore also be operated when the power supply of the household appliance is deactivated or this is in standby mode.
  • the pressure-changing element enables a reliable and effective determination or monitoring of the condition of the lid.
  • the sensor thus generates a status signal which contains information about the state of the lid.
  • this status signal characterizes a locking state of the cover, that is, contains information as to whether the cover is locked or unlocked in its closed position.
  • the electrical pressure change element can be installed for example in a mechanical locking device. Then, the electrical pressure transducer element generates when locking and unlocking - ie when applying a mechanical pressure - electrical voltage, based on which then the condition signal can be generated, with which the unlocking or locking of the lid is signaled.
  • the status signal includes information about an opening state of the lid.
  • the status signal may include information about whether the lid is closed or opened.
  • the pressure-change electric element is arranged such that the electric voltage is generated by opening (opening the opening) and closing the lid (covering the opening).
  • the status signal then signals the opening and closing of the lid, that is, the opening operation or the closing operation of the lid.
  • the electrical pressure conversion element may for example be installed in a frame of the device housing, in which the opening is formed. Then the electrical Druckjunelement absorbs pressure forces that arise when opening the lid (relief of the lid) and when closing the lid (load). This has the advantage that the lid is unattended Opening can be monitored, in particular in standby mode after the activation of the energy saving mode by the user.
  • the sensor is particularly preferably embodied as a battery-free or energy-autonomous sensor, which is supplied solely with the electrical voltage of the electrical pressure-change element to generate the state signal.
  • the sensor By dispensing with an electrical energy store and an energy supply from a power supply unit of the household appliance, the sensor is thus supplied solely with the electrical voltage, which is generated by means of the electrical pressure change element - in particular when closing and when opening the lid.
  • the sensor is thus designed to be energy self-sufficient, which avoids restrictions by wired power supply or batteries.
  • the status signal can thus also be generated when the household appliance is in standby mode or its power supply is switched off. It also saves electrical energy, because the sensor is virtually self-powered with the electrical voltage of the electrical pressure transducer element.
  • the electrical pressure-conversion element can be a piezoelectric sensor element which utilizes the piezoelectric effect to generate the electrical voltage by means of a corresponding crystal or a corresponding ceramic.
  • the electrical pressure transducer element may in particular also be an electrodynamic transducer, in which the applied pressure shifts a permanent magnet and an induction coil against each other, whereby the electrical voltage is induced in the induction coil.
  • the status signal is a radio signal or a radio datagram:
  • the sensor includes a transmitter, which is designed for wireless transmission of the status signal to the receiver unit, while the receiver unit has a receiver for wirelessly receiving the status signal.
  • the sensor can operate on the principle of batteryless radio technology by directly from the electrical voltage of the electrical Druckdorfffleelements the radio datagram is generated and sent, which includes the information about the opening or closing of the lid.
  • the sensor is thus completely - mechanically and electrically - decoupled from the receiving unit, which can be integrated, for example, in a control device of the household appliance. It is therefore unnecessary to use a wired data transmission channel with the associated disadvantages in terms of cost and valuable space.
  • radio signal can be transmitted simultaneously to an external or separate from the household appliance energy management system or an energy management device.
  • This energy management device then receives the information about the state of the lid and can take this information into account when generating the control command to start the operating process.
  • the transmitter can be designed, for example, for transmitting the status signal in an ISM frequency band (Industrial, Scientific and Medical Band).
  • the receiving unit-namely the receiver of the receiving unit- can also be designed to receive the status signal in the same ISM band.
  • the UHF frequency range is used here, for example 433 MHz to 440 MHz or 868 MHz to 870 MHz or 888 MHz to 889 MHz or 902 MHz to 928 MHz.
  • the status signal may be a radio signal or a radio datagram, which contains the information about the state of the lid, namely signals in particular the opening and closing of the lid.
  • the status signal may be a digitally coded signal. For example, OOK modulation (on-off keying) can be used.
  • the status signal may also include a specific identifier (ID).

If it is determined by the control device that the lid has been opened in between, the initiation of the operating process is prevented. In the embodiment with the data memory including the first and the second state counter, this may be such that the control device reads out the states of the two state counters and determines whether the cover is open or not based on a comparison of the two state counters.

  • the receiving unit 10 can also have the function of a trigger: If the condition signal is received by the receiver 12, which signals the opening of the lid 8, the receiver 12 - for example, at said first output - provide a trigger signal, due to which an electrical switch is closed, via which the household appliance 2 is supplied with electrical energy or coupled to the electrical power grid. After opening the lid 8 in standby mode or in energy saving mode thus the household appliance 2 is activated.
  • the user has the possibility of changing the previously selected settings, for example the selected operating program. That the receiver 12 outputs the trigger signal for activating the power supply of the household appliance 2, is in Fig. 1 illustrated by an arrow 19. Due to this trigger signal, an electrical switch can be closed, which connects a power supply unit of the household appliance 2 with the electrical power grid.
  • This trigger signal can also trigger other functions in the household appliance 2.
  • an optical display device can be controlled with which the opened state of the lid 8 is optically signaled to the user.
  • FIGS. 2a to 2c are shown flowcharts of a method according to an embodiment of the invention. It illustrates Fig. 2a a flow chart of the operation of the sensor 9, which is installed in the frame of the device housing 5. Fig. 2b illustrates a flowchart of the operation of the receiving unit 10, 10 ', and Fig. 2c FIG. 2 illustrates a flow chart of the operation of the control device 4 of the household appliance 2.
  • a step S101 the lid 8 is opened by the user.
  • the electric pressure converting element induces the electric voltage, and the status signal which is a radio signal is generated and includes the identification of the sensor 9 and the information that the lid 8 has been opened.
  • This status signal is generated and sent out in a step S102.
  • the lid 8 is closed by the user.
  • the electrical voltage is induced at the electrical pressure transducer element, and the transmitter of the sensor 9 generates the status signal in step S104, which now also contains information in addition to the specific identifier that the cover 8 has been closed.
  • the process then returns to the first step S101 when the lid 8 is opened again.
  • step S201 the state counters 17, 18 are first reset in the receiving unit 10, 10 '(a reset of the state counters 17, 18 takes place). This reset is performed in step S201.
  • step S202 the receiver 12 of the receiving unit 10, 10 'receives a status signal of the sensor 9.
  • step S203 the receiver 12 first selectively decodes the status signal with respect to the identifier and checks whether the identifier originates from the sensor 9 or not. If the check of the received identifier indicates that it does not match a stored, specific identifier, then the method returns to a step S201 ', in which the receiver 12 continuously checks the frequency range used for the presence of a status signal.
  • step S204 the receiver 12 checks whether the received status signal signals a closing or an opening of the lid 8. If a closure of the lid 8 is signaled, the receiver 12, by means of the logic unit 14, causes the second state counter 18 to be incremented, namely in a step S205. Then, the process returns to step S201 'in which the receiver 12 monitors whether or not there is a status signal. If it is determined in step S204 that the received status signal signals an opening of the lid 8, the first state counter 17 of the data memory 15 is incremented in a step S206.
  • step S207 the said trigger signal is output by the receiver 12, so that the control device 4 is supplied with electrical energy is supplied and the household appliance 2 is activated. Then the process returns to step S201 '.
  • the automatic switch-on function or the delivery of the trigger signal can be dispensed with, and the method can immediately return to step S201 'without the step S207 being carried out.
  • step S301 the control device 4 of the household appliance 2 is activated from the standby mode. This activation can either be due to the trigger signal (see step S207) or due to a signal of the energy management device 3 or timed.
  • the control device 4 also receives a control command that the operation process should be started.
  • the method now proceeds to a step S302, in which the control device 4 reads out the states of the state counters 17, 18 from the data memory 15.
  • the control device 4 checks whether the lid 8 has been opened or not. If the cover 8 is opened, the method ends in a step S304, in which the control device 4 detects an unsafe condition of the cover 8.
  • step S303 indicates that the lid 8 is closed, the operating process of the household appliance 2 is started in a further step S305. The method then ends or returns to step S302.
  • a system 1 in which the sensor 9 requires neither a power supply nor a wiring or a transmitter for the generation of radio messages.
  • the solution is particularly low maintenance and durable.
  • the monitoring of the state of the lid 8 is ensured even when completely switched off household appliance 2.
  • the receiving unit 10, 10 ' can only be operated by means of batteries and / or double-layer capacitors. This allows a remote controlled activation of the household appliance 2 from the standby mode with a subsequent possible automatic start of the operating process also the safety requirements.
  • the monitoring - and possibly also an indication - of the state of the lid 8 is also completely switched off household appliance 2 by the remote, located in radio range Energy management device 3 possible, which may have appropriate compatible receiving unit 10 'has.
  • the described system 1 comprising the sensor 9 and the receiving unit 10 and / or 10 'can also be used outside the application described here of the smart grids. Namely, the proposed system can also be used for a conventional monitoring of the locking state of the lid 8 both in the activated and in the standby state of the household appliance 2 - during the execution of washing or drying processes or during the standby mode.
  • the power supply for the receiving unit 10 could be done in this case via the low-voltage power supply of the controller and control electronics module.
