Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for assessing a hygiene state of a water-conducting household appliance, in particular a domestic appliance for the care of
- the invention also relates to a corresponding water-conducting domestic appliance as well as a method for assessing a
- Hygiene state of a water-conducting household appliance in particular a household appliance for the care of laundry.
- a water-bearing household appliance such as a washing machine, other washing equipment for the care and / or cleaning of laundry items or dishes of a coffee machine or other beverage preparation machine, it may come under specific installation and / or operating conditions to form a biofilm.
- a biofilm can, for example, in the Einticianschale a
- Washing machine can be easily recognized by a user and it can be a
- Washing machine by a user virtually not be noticed and is only noticed when an unpleasant odor has arisen.
- Water supply in particular a hose, and / or a container, in particular a tub, and an electrical detection device.
- Detection device is coupled to the water supply and / or the container, in particular tub, and it is designed to perform a capacitance measurement. It is also used to assess a state of hygiene of the
- a water supply is understood to mean one or more components which can lead or guide water or an aqueous solution.
- the device ensures a very robust method of measurement, especially in a humid environment.
- the detection device has two conductive electrodes which are connected to the water guide and / or the container, in particular the Lye containers are arranged. These are in particular plate-like.
- the capacitive measurement can be carried out particularly advantageous. In addition, a corresponding mechanically stable attachment is guaranteed.
- the electrodes are preferably arranged on an outer side of the water guide and / or the container, in particular on a rear wall of the suds container. As a result, they are accessible for maintenance and the like. Furthermore, this arrangement in a domestic appliance for the care of laundry no space between the tub and an existing drum for receiving
- the electrodes are arranged adjacent to a bearing of a tub. This is a particularly advantageous place, as in the area of the bearing of the tub very often unwanted impurities form. The detection of this contamination is thus ensured very quickly.
- the detection device is designed for the assessment of a property of a biofilm formed on the water guide and / or on the container, in particular on the tub, depending on a measured capacitance.
- a characterization of a biofilm formed on the water guide and / or on the container, in particular on the suds container can be carried out as a function of the measurement frequency, depending on a spectrum of the capacitance measured by the detection device.
- the detection device has a control unit, whereby a defined spectrum of the measurement frequency can be generated.
- a characteristic characterizing the biofilm is the composition of the biofilm and / or the thickness of the biofilm and / or the volume density of the biofilm.
- the device ensures that a simple, robust and inexpensive way of measuring moisture-containing coverings without direct contact with this medium can be carried out.
- Biofilm quality allows a very fast and reliable statement about the extent to which the biofilm has already developed and to what extent more or less comprehensive cleaning measures are required.
- the phenomenon is exploited that biofilms remain wet for a while after being wetted with water and therefore are electrically conductive.
- This conductivity can be determined by the capacitance between the two conductive plates representing the electrodes.
- the measured capacity allows conclusions to be drawn on the coherently wetted area and thus on the areal density of the biofilm.
- the images of a spectrum that is, the measurement of the capacitance as a function of the measurement frequency, also allows statements about additional properties, such as the type and / or the thickness and / or the volume density of the biofilm. Low frequencies up to a few megahertz can be included in the frequency spectrum and used for the measurement.
- the control unit which may include a microprocessor, provided that this frequency control and
- the invention relates to a water-conducting domestic appliance, in particular a domestic appliance for the care and / or cleaning of laundry items or dishes, such as a washing machine or a dishwasher, or a
- Beverage preparation machine with a device according to the invention or an advantageous embodiment thereof.
- the invention relates to a method for assessing a hygiene state of a water-conducting domestic appliance, in which an electrical detection device of the domestic appliance with a water supply and / or a container, in particular a tub, the domestic appliance is electrically coupled and dependent on a capacitance measurement by the detection device of the hygiene state of the
- Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view of an embodiment of a domestic appliance according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is a schematic rear view of a tub of a device according to the invention with a detection device
- Fig. 3 is a schematic sectional view through the tub according to
- Fig. 1 is a front view of a washing machine 1 is shown.
- the washing machine 1 comprises a drum 2 for receiving the laundry items.
- the drum 2 which is rotatable about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the figure, has a front loading opening 3, via which the items of laundry can be introduced into the drum 2 and taken out.
- the washing machine 1 comprises a tub 4, which surrounds the drum 2 in regions.
- the washing machine 1 moreover also comprises an induction bowl 5 and an operating device 6.
- the washing machine 1 comprises a device 7, which is designed to assess a hygiene state of the tub 4.
- the device 7 will be explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.
- Fig. 2 is a schematic view of the tub 4 shown from the rear. It is thus a rear wall 8, which is opposite to the feed opening 3 shown.
- the Rear wall 8 is beyond the outside, which faces away from an inner volume 9 of the drum 2 and also of the tub 4.
- the device 7 comprises in addition to the tub 4, an electrical detection device 10. This is designed for capacitance measurement. It comprises two plates as electrodes 1 1 and 12, which are formed on the rear wall 8.
- the plate-like electrodes 1 1 and 12 are connected via signal lines 13 and 14 to a control and evaluation unit 15.
- the capacitance measurement by the detection device 10 makes it possible to make a statement about the hygiene state of the tub 4, in particular about the presence of a biofilm 16 (FIG. 3), as it is on an inner side 17 of the tub 4, in particular in the region of a bearing 18 can train.
- a biofilm 16 FIG. 3
- the unit 15 includes a microprocessor 19. The capacitance measurement conclusions on the contiguous wetted surface and thus on the
- Material composition of the biofilm 16 and / or the thickness of the biofilm 16 and / or the volume density of the biofilm 16 can be determined.
- the described embodiment can be applied mutatis mutandis to other water-bearing household appliances.
