Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a household appliance comprising a control unit.
  • the program duration is determined by the user or is recorded in the memory of a control unit.
  • the user can select the desired program (short, economic, cotton, delicate etc.) by the program buttons of the household appliance.
  • the duration of the program can also vary according to each program. The user can know approximately when his/her items would be washed or dried according to the selected program. Accordingly, he/she can select the short or long duration economic program depending on when he/she needs his/her items.
  • the program duration appears on the screen when the program is selected.
  • the control unit stops the program until the voltage reaches the limit values if the mains voltage is outside of certain voltage values.
  • the reason for this is that the elements which are disposed in the household appliance can malfunction or operate with bad performance when actuated at low voltage or high voltage. The user thinks that the household appliance operates for a longer time than required, that it has malfunctioned and satisfaction from the appliance decreases when the program is stopped thus for some time depending on the mains voltage.
  • Document DE 10 2008 056 412 A1 relates to a household appliance, particularly a household dishwasher (GS), washing machine, clothes dryer, or the like, that comprises one or more electrical components (LT, HZ1) of an air drying device (STE) and/or fluid heating device (DLE) that are connected to an electrical energy supply network (EN), wherein at least one control/ monitoring unit (HE) is provided to detect a possible deviation ([Delta]U, [Delta]f) of the respective actual value (UI, fl) of at least one characteristic (U, f) of the electrical energy supply network (EN) from a target value (UN; fN). Based on the respective detected deviation ([Delta]U, [Delta]f) of the actual value (UI, fl), the control/monitoring unit produces at least
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a household appliance wherein the program duration can be regulated.
  • the household appliance realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises a panel providing the user to select the program desired to be actuated by at least one button and a control unit that provides the program to be performed according to the program steps and durations.
  • the program steps and durations are recorded in a memory by the producer.
  • the control unit operates by being supplied with the mains voltage and controls the mains voltage values. Oscillations may occur in the mains voltage.
  • the control unit stops the program if the mains voltage is outside of predetermined limit voltage values in order to prevent the household appliance from being damaged. Meanwhile, the control unit continues controlling the mains voltage and actuates the program again when the mains voltage reaches to between the limit voltage values.
  • the steps and durations for each selected program are prerecorded in the memory by the producer. Consequently, the user can select programs with different durations depending on when he/she will need his/her items and can know approximately when the program will end upon selecting the program suitable for the properties of his/her items.
  • the control unit furthermore, defines as the stopping time the duration elapsed between when the program is stopped depending on the variation in the mains voltage and the time when the mains voltage reaches limit voltage values.
  • the control unit regulates the program steps and durations again according to the stopping time.
  • the variation amount in the total program duration depending on the stopping time is controlled such that neither the user will be disturbed nor the performance of the household appliance is lowered.
  • control unit shortens the program duration or the step durations depending on the stopping time.
  • control unit cancels at least one of the program steps depending on the stopping time.
  • control unit records the step wherein the program is stopped in the memory when the mains voltage is detected to be lower than the lower limit voltage or higher than the upper limit voltage and continues the program from the beginning of the stopped step when the stopping time ends.
  • control unit records the step wherein the program is stopped in the memory when the mains voltage is lower than the lower limit voltage or higher than the upper limit voltage and continues the program from the next step when the stopping time ends.
  • the program duration is shortened by comparing with a limit stopping time prerecorded in the memory thereof by the producer.
  • the household appliance comprises at least one sensor that detects the amount, dirt level, temperature and humidity state of the items.
  • the control unit evaluates the data received from the sensors at the end of the stopping time and regulates the program steps and durations accordingly.
  • the user when change is made in the program steps and durations depending on the stopping time, the user is informed of the change that is made by a display.
  • the household appliance of the present invention is a washing machine in an embodiment of the present invention.
  • the household appliance of the present invention is a dryer in another embodiment of the present invention.
  • the household appliance of the present invention is a dishwasher in another embodiment of the present invention.
  • the household appliance (1) of the present invention comprises a panel (4) whereon at least one button is disposed allowing to select the programs, a memory (2) wherein the program steps and program duration (tp) are recorded by the producer and a control unit (3) that measures the mains voltage (Vcc), stopping the program if the mains voltage (Vcc) is outside of the limit voltages (Vlow-Vup) recorded in the memory (2) thereof ( Figure 1 ).
  • the household appliance (1) is operated according to a program comprising steps such as washing, rinsing, spin-drying and/or drying. While some household appliances (1) have only one program, in some household appliances (1) various programs are present like short, economic, delicate, intensive with different program durations (tp) depending on different factors such as the number of steps and the temperature to be reached. The user can select different programs depending on properties of his/her items and the time he/she needs them. The number of steps in the programs and their durations (tp) also show variability.
  • the control unit (3) stops the program when the mains voltage (Vcc) is outside of the limit voltages (Vlow-Vup), that is when the mains voltage (Vcc) falls below the lower limit voltage (Vlow) or when the mains voltage (Vcc) goes above the upper limit voltage (Vup). Meanwhile, the control unit (3) continues to control the mains voltage (Vcc). The control unit (3) restarts the program when the mains voltage (Vcc) is again within the limit voltages (Vlow-Vup). The control unit (3) provides the program to only operate between limit mains voltage values (Vlow-Vup), thus the elements of the household appliance (1) providing to actuate the program are prevented from being affected by high or low voltage.
  • the control unit (3) furthermore, records as the stopping t
  • the control unit (3) stops the program upon detecting that the mains voltage (Vcc) is outside of limit voltage values (Vlow-Vup) and does not actuate the program until the mains voltage (Vcc) reaches the range of the limit values (Vlow-Vup). Meanwhile, the stopping time (ts) elapsed is calculated by the control unit (3).
  • control unit (3) shortens the duration of program steps and/or the program duration (tp) depending on the stopping time (t s ).
  • the control unit (3) shortens the program duration (tp) by comparing the program stopping time (t s ) with at least one limit stopping time (t slimit ) prerecorded in the memory (2) thereof by the producer. For example, the control unit (3) shortens the program by as much as the limit stopping time (t slimit ) if the stopping time (t s ) is more than the limit stopping time (t slimit ). Or the control unit (3) shortens the program by as much as the stopping time (t s ) if the stopping time (t s ) is less than the limit stopping time (t slimit ).
  • the control unit (3) cancels the program steps prerecorded in the memory (2) by the producer according to the stopping time (t s ).
  • the control unit (3) cancels the second main washing step and/or the drying step if the stopping time (ts) is between a first limit stopping time (t slimit1 ) prerecorded in the memory (2) by the producer and a second limit stopping time (t slimit2 ) prerecorded in the memory (2) by the producer.
  • control unit (3) changes the process parameters of the program steps prerecorded in the memory (2) by the producer according to the stopping time (t s ). For example, in a household appliance (1) which is a washing machine, the spin-drying speed and/or duration is changed in the spin-drying step. In the household appliance (1) which is a dishwasher, the drying temperature is changed in the drying step.
  • control unit (3) determines the step wherein the program is stopped depending on the mains voltage (Vcc) and starts the program from the beginning of the stopped step depending on the stopped step and the stopping time (t s ) when the mains voltage (Vcc) goes between limit voltages (Vlow-Vup). For example, in a household appliance (1) which is a washing machine, if the program is stopped at the beginning of the washing step, it is started from the washing step while restarting at the end of stopping time (t s ).
  • the control unit (3) determines the step wherein the program is stopped depending on the mains voltage (Vcc) and starts the program from the next step depending on the stopped step and the stopping time (t s ) when the mains voltage (Vcc) goes between limit voltages (Vlow-Vup). For example, in the household appliance (1) which is a dishwasher, if the control unit (3) stops the program in pre-washing step depending on the mains voltage (Vcc), the program is started from the main washing step at the end of the stopping time (t s ). In another embodiment wherein the household appliance (1) is a washing machine, if the control unit (3) stops the program in the softening step, the control unit (3) provides to go directly to the spinning step.
  • the household appliance (1) comprises at least one sensor (5) that detects the states such as amount, dirt level, temperature and humidity.
  • the control unit (3) readjusts the program, that was stopped due to the mains voltage (Vcc) being outside the limit values (Vlow-Vup), at the end of the stopping time (t s ) according to the data received from the sensors (5).
  • the control unit (3) regulates the program steps while restarting the program after stopping it according to the mains voltage (Vcc). For example, if the program is stopped in the drying step and if the data received from the sensors (5) show that the items are already dry during the stopping time (t s ) when the program is to be restarted, then the program is ended directly without passing to the drying step.
  • the household appliance (1) comprises a display (6) that shows the program duration (tp) and informs the user when the program duration (tp) is changed according to the stopping time (t s ) ( Figure 1 ).
  • the display (6) informs the user about the change in the program duration (tp) by means of a writing or by a glowing light appearing thereon.
  • the household appliance (1) is a dishwasher.
  • the household appliance (1) is a washing machine.
  • the household appliance (1) is a laundry dryer.
