Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for the wet treatment of, in particular, laundry according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • washing machines with larger quantities of linen are mechanically loaded and unloaded.
  • the washing machines may be so-called continuous washing machines which have a drum which can be driven in rotation about a preferably horizontal longitudinal central axis.
  • the laundry is washed in a single pass and optionally subjected to further treatments.
  • the laundry during the wet treatment in the longitudinal direction (called passage direction) is transported through the drum.
  • the laundry is unloaded from the drum and transferred to a subsequent dewatering device.
  • the washed laundry is freed from a large part of the still bound treatment liquid (bound liquor).
  • the rinsing in the dewatering device can take place.
  • washing machines In commercial laundries and washing machines are used in a only a single chamber having (short) drum.
  • the loading and unloading of the washing machine can be done both from the same front side and from different end faces.
  • Dewatering and / or rinsing in the washing machine washed laundry can be done in a separate dewatering device, in so-called washing-spin-washing machines but also in the drum, in which the washing takes place.
  • a reloading of the washing machine in the drainage device can then be omitted.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a method for easy and reliable monitoring of the wet treatment of particular laundry.
  • a method for achieving this object comprises the measures of claim 1. Accordingly, at least one imaging device is used during loading and / or unloading of the laundry items. As a result, especially the loading and / or unloading process of the washing machine and possibly also the drainage device can be monitored.
  • the imaging device not only detects the presence of laundry, but it can also be a visual or visual laundry detection, preferably as image recognition, take place. This leads to a much more reliable monitoring and detection of the laundry than was possible with the previously used sensors.
  • the laundry is detected visually at least during loading and / or unloading of the washing machine by the imaging device, which can also be referred to as an image recognition device or image-forming device.
  • the imaging device can also be referred to as an image recognition device or image-forming device.
  • the imaging device images that to allow conclusions about the loading and / or unloading by a corresponding electronic evaluation.
  • the type of laundry is determined by the imaging device, in particular during loading and / or unloading of the washing machine or the drum thereof. This is preferably the color and / or structure of the laundry. This makes it possible to draw conclusions about the type of laundry and / or whether it is colored or white laundry.
  • the required wash program can be set automatically or monitoring whether an operator has selected the correct wash program.
  • individual images, image sequences or image sequences recorded by the at least one imaging device can be stored for quality control or quality monitoring.
  • the laundry before and / or behind the drum of the washing machine and optionally before the dewatering device is detected by the at least one imaging device.
  • a loading chute in front of the drum and behind the drum a discharge chute.
  • the laundry, which enters the drum via the loading chute and / or the laundry which is unloaded from the drum via the unloading chute is detected continuously, preferably continuously, or visually and / or figuratively at certain time intervals. This allows conclusions to be drawn on the loading and / or unloading.
  • the method may be developed in such a way that at least one imaging device detects a loading-side starting region and / or a discharge-side end region of the drum.
  • the respective imaging device looks almost onto or into the beginning region and / or end region of the drum.
  • it can be determined how the laundry behaves in the loading area and / or unloading area. For example, it can be recognized whether laundry blockages are present in the loading or unloading area.
  • By observing the discharge area of the drum it can be determined whether the respective laundry item has been completely unloaded from the drum, in particular the last chamber thereof.
  • Another advantageous embodiment of the method provides to detect the loading of the drainage device by at least one imaging device. This makes it possible to determine whether the entire laundry to be unloaded from the washing machine has been transferred to the dewatering device. So it can be ensured that not individual items of laundry only partially enters the drainage device are what would cause the destruction of the same at the start of the drainage device.
  • the same imaging device is used to detect the loading of the dewatering device, which is also used to detect the discharge of the washing machine.
  • the imaging device can be designed such that it detects both the unloading of the washing machine and the loading of the drainage device.
  • the imaging device in a controlled manner, so that it is directed either to the rear discharge area of the washing machine or to the starting area of the dewatering press and generates corresponding images.
  • the imaging device at the loading end of the washing machine can also be controlled such that it generates images of different areas in front of the washing machine, for example the area of the loading chute or the first treatment chamber of the drum of the washing machine.
  • the method may be developed so that the detection of the laundry by the at least imaging device in response to a presence of laundry detecting sensor starts and / or stopped. In this way, it is possible to take the respective imaging device only when needed in operation or make a switch between different imaging devices, in particular at the beginning and at the end of the drum.
  • the individual images, image sequences or also a film-yielding image sequences are recorded or generated by the at least one imaging device.
  • images, image sequences or films are stored, for example, in a database.
  • the stored images or films can be used to document the loading and / or unloading process or the washing process.
  • the stored images or films can then be used in any complaints for cause research or serve for quality control or quality assurance. It is also conceivable to compare the images or image sequences or image sequences (films) recorded by the at least one imaging device with computer-aided image evaluations with previously stored images or films and, in the case of deviations, to inform the operator station, for example, so that countermeasures can be taken if necessary.
  • a suitable and required washing program on the basis of the information captured by the at least one imaging device, such as images of the laundry.
  • the at least one imaging device such as images of the laundry.
  • the color and / or structure or fabric type of the laundry are used.
  • the imaging device is ideally one which captures and generates colored images. This can be avoided, for example, that white linen is treated as coloreds. It is also recognizable whether a laundry item contains not only white linen, but also coloreds or vice versa.
  • the imaging device After a certain period of time in which the imaging device no longer detects any discharged laundry, automatically start the dewatering device. This procedure is based on the knowledge that the entire discharged laundry must be in the dewatering device if, over a certain period of time, the imaging device has not detected any items of laundry.
  • the time period is chosen to be greater than occasional breaks in the flow of laundry when unloading the washing machine. If no laundry passes through the unloading chute for an extended period of time, a complete unloading of the laundry load can be assumed. After this period of time, the last items of laundry must also have been loaded into the dewatering device so that the dewatering device can be started without the risk of damaging individual items of laundry.
  • a further refinement of the method is conceivable in which, based on the images or image sequences recorded by the respective imaging device, it is determined by an automatic comparison by, for example, electronic image processing with previously recorded images or image sequences, whether the loading and / or unloading process has begun or has begun. finished. It is thus determined by deviations of recorded at different times images, image sequences or image sequences, whether deviations are present. Out of such deviations can not only the beginning or the end of the loading and unloading process are determined, other information can be derived from it, for example, blockages inside the drum.
  • a further advantageous refinement of the method provides for an automatic indirect determination of the amount of laundry to be determined with images acquired by the respective imaging device over a specific period of time.
  • the images supplied by the respective imaging device allow, in particular, if they are evaluated over a certain period evaluated, a computational laundry determination. From this it is possible to draw conclusions as to whether the whole laundry item has been unloaded from the washing machine and it is also possible to form laundry items with a certain amount of laundry when loading the washing machine. Even malfunctions, such as blockages of the laundry at the beginning or at the end of the drum of the washing machine, can be determined. The same procedure can be followed when loading the dewatering device and / or when unloading the washing machine in order to automatically determine whether the entire batch of laundry has been discharged from the last treatment chamber.
  • a camera for example a digital camera, is preferably used as the imaging device.
  • this is a color camera or digital color camera.
  • black-and-white cameras allow the color of the laundry to be determined by light / dark discrimination, color cameras, especially digital color cameras, are more suitable because it is also possible to determine which color the respective laundry items have.
  • the figures show different apparatus for washing and dewatering laundry. Such devices are commonly referred to as washes.
  • the washing machine is used to wash the laundry by the post.
  • the washing machines shown in the figures are so-called continuous washing machines 10, which are usually used in commercial laundries.
  • the dewatering devices may be a dewatering press 11 (FIG. Fig. 1 to 4 ) or a laundry centrifuge 12 (spin).
  • the continuous washing machine 10 has an elongated drum 13 with a cylindrical drum shell.
  • the drum 13 is rotationally driven about a horizontal longitudinal central axis 14. Depending on the mode, the drum 13 is driven in different directions. For unloading the drum 13 is driven in a different direction than for washing.

Accordingly, the images taken by the camera 22 can be used for the automatic selection of the washing program, namely for coloreds or for white laundry. Alternatively, the images of the laundry 24 taken by the camera 22 during the loading operation may serve to control the operator-set wash program, namely, colored laundry or white laundry. If a deviation emerges, a control which accesses the photos of the item of laundry 24 taken during the loading of the continuous washing machine 10 gives a warning signal. In the same way, a warning signal can be given by the controller if, for example, colored laundry items 24 are present in laundry bag 25, in which white laundry is supposed to be located so that a white wash can cause discoloration of the white laundry.
  • the camera 22 associated with the loading end 17 of the continuous washing machine 10 can also control and illustrate the washing flow when loading the continuous washing machine 10. It can also be recognized as blockages. In addition, it can be determined when the loading hopper 18 is empty and thus the loading process is completed.
  • the camera 22 In order to observe the interior of the first treatment chamber 15 better, it may be provided to adjust the camera 22 in the inclination and / or position. This adjustment can be made automatically when the camera 22 detects the end of the loading process when the loading hopper 18 is empty. The camera 22 is then changed in position so that it can take pictures of the interior of the first chamber 15. If the camera 22 determines that the laundry item washed in the first treatment chamber 15 has been reloaded into the subsequent treatment chamber 15, ie the first treatment chamber 15 can be loaded again with a subsequent laundry item, the camera 22 is automatically returned to the initial position for monitoring the Loading process and in particular for taking pictures of the laundry item 24 of the next laundry item.

This reloading is observed by the camera 26 between the discharge end 20 of the continuous washing machine 10 and the dewatering press 11.
  • an amount of laundry may be detected by an electronic evaluation, which allows conclusions to be drawn as to whether the last treatment chamber 15 is completely discharged or not. If this is not the case, a corresponding signal is given to the operator. If the amount of laundry detection indicates that the laundry item is unloaded and / or the camera 26 determines that the unloading chute 21 is empty for a certain period of time, this indicates that the unloading operation is over.
  • the dewatering press 11 is expediently switched on only when the images of the laundry recorded by the camera 26 show that no laundry item 24 has been discharged from the last treatment chamber 15 of the continuous washing machine 10 for a certain time and no laundry item 24 is left in the laundry room Unloading chute 21 is located, especially all laundry items 25 of the laundry costs are completely in the dewatering press 11.
  • the monitoring and visual identification of the laundry items 24 during loading and unloading of the continuous washing machine 10 or the dewatering press 11 can take place simultaneously by the cameras 22 and 26.
