Definitions

  • the invention relates to a washing machine with a controller, which is designed to wash the laundry by means of several different washing programs, wherein the washing programs differ in their duration and in at least one washing parameters.
  • Washing machines normally provide the user with a number of different classes of washing programs. For example, there is a washing program for cooking linen, one for 60 ° wash, one for 40 ° wash, one for 40 ° sports wash and one for 30 ° wash, each with and without spin (centrifugation). Normally, each of these classes is assigned a washing program. These washing programs differ in one or more parameters, e.g. in the temperature or in the course of temperature and / or in the duration of individual program sections.
  • washing machines which allow the user to set the time for the start of the program or the end of the program.
  • the controller of the device starts the washing program associated with the selected class at the set time.
  • the controller calculates the start time from the expected duration of the program so that the program will finish at the specified time.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a washing machine of this type which is able to improve its operation with regard to a specific destination, for example, in that it consumes less energy or causes less costs.
  • the washing machine has a controller. This is designed to wash the laundry by means of several different washing programs. At least some of the washing programs differ in their duration, and the washing programs differ in at least one washing parameter. This washing parameter may be e.g. to the temperature, the temperature profile or the number and / or duration of individual program phases act.
  • the washing machine has an input device, which is configured to input the desired time for the program start or the program end of the wash program.
  • the input device has the necessary hardware and / or software.
  • the control of the apparatus is basically configured to provide a washing program to be performed based on the inputted class, and to set the starting time based on the inputted time and to start the washing program to be performed at this starting time.
  • the device is able, based on the specifications of the user (class of the program, time of program start or end) in the washing programs that meet these requirements to select the one that is optimal in terms of the target size.
  • the target variable is dependent on the water consumption of the respective washing program, in particular (in the mathematical sense) a strictly monotonous function of water consumption.
  • the target size can be, for example, water consumption.
  • the target variable is dependent on the power consumption of the respective washing program, in particular (in the mathematical sense) a strictly monotonous function of power consumption.
  • the target size can be, for example, equal to the power consumption or electricity costs.
  • washing programs may differ gradually, e.g. in the period of an operating phase, which can be determined by the controller in a certain range (for example, 5 to 60 minutes) with virtually any desired fine resolution, or the washing programs can be discreetly distinguished, i. the controller may choose between some predetermined parameter values (e.g., 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes).
  • the different washing programs in a class may differ, in particular, from their temperatures or temperature profiles, from their pause times between process phases, from amounts of water, from the number of individual operating phases and / or from their drum rotary movements.
  • Fig. 1 some components of a washing machine are shown, which may be of interest in the present case.
  • the device has a drum 1 for receiving the laundry.
  • the drum 1 is driven by a drum drive 2 for rotation.
  • Via a valve 4 the device is supplied via a mixing chamber 5 water, wherein 5 detergent can be mixed in the mixing chamber.
  • the drum 1 is associated with a heater 6, with which the process water can be heated.
  • a pump 7 serves to drain wastewater.
  • a controller 8 controls the components of the device.
  • the controller 8 is connected to an input and output device 9, via which the user selects operating parameters of the washing machine and receives information about the status of the machine or a running washing program.
  • Fig. 2 shows details of the control 8.
  • the controller 8 is connected to the input and output device 9.
  • the controller 8 also receives signals from various sensors 10 of the device. These may in particular be temperature sensors for measuring the temperature of the process water, level sensors for measuring the water levels at at least one point of the device or other sensors.
  • the controller 8 controls the heater 6, the drum drive 2, the various valves 4 of the device, the various pumps 7 of the device, and any other actuators.
  • the controller 8 has a microprocessor 12 which operates in accordance with a program stored in a memory 14.
  • a list 15 of the available programs is stored in the memory 14.
  • controller has a clock 16, via which the microprocessor receives the current time of day and possibly the day of the week.
  • the controller 8 is configured to wash the laundry in the drum 1 according to one of several washing programs. Each washing program defines a set of parameters according to which the components of the appliance are controlled.
  • each washing program determines which operating phases comprise the washing process (eg prewashing, main washing, rinsing, centrifuging), how long the operating phases last and how often they are repeated (eg, none, one or two pre-rinse phases), when fresh water is supplied, when Wastewater is pumped, which is to be achieved for temperatures or temperature profiles of the process water by operating the heater 6, as the drum drive 2 is to be operated in the different operating phases and how to control the other actuators of the device.
  • operating phases comprise the washing process
  • how long the operating phases last and how often they are repeated eg, none, one or two pre-rinse phases
  • each program is assigned a unique program number (Prg.), A class (Kl.), A process duration (t), a target variable (Z) and several operating parameters (Params.).
  • the class K1 of a program describes eg the washing effect (strong, weak), the approximate temperature range as well as further basic parameters (eg with / without spin), which from the user's point of view are of importance.
  • Programs of the same class are suitable for the same textiles and have essentially the same effects on the textiles. For example, there is a class which is displayed to the user as "40 ° spin wash sports wash” which includes multiple wash programs of varying durations. In the longer washing programs, slightly lower temperatures are used, and the laundry is treated longer, resulting in an approximately equally good washing effect.
  • Another class, eg "cooking laundry” in turn comprises various programs that differ in their process duration.
  • the temperature of the water is brought at least once to a relatively high value, but in the shorter programs, this high temperature is maintained for a relatively long time, while in the longer programs, the high temperature is maintained for less, but compensated Washed the laundry longer. Further examples of parameters in which the programs of a class may differ are described later.
  • washing programs of this type are known to those skilled in the art.
  • Another distinguishing feature of the classes is, for example, the centrifugal (centrifugal) effect, so that a first class for coloreds 40 ° with intensive sling program, a second class for coloreds 40 ° with a light sling program and a third class for coloreds 40 ° without slings Can be provided, etc.
  • the target size Z of a program is a scalar quantity that should be optimized. This may, for example, be the energy consumption or the water consumption of the respective washing program. Further examples of the target size will also be described later.
  • Per wash program is in the execution after Fig. 2 at least one such target Z is stored in the list 15. However, the target variable can also be calculated by the microprocessor 12 from the parameters of the washing program, in which case it need not be stored in the list 15.
  • the process duration t corresponds to the typical or expected duration of the respective washing program.
  • the user When the user wishes to perform a washing operation, he first selects at the input and output device 9 the class of washing program which he wishes to use. This is done by operating one or more input devices.
  • the user has the option of specifying the desired time for the start of the program or the end of the program. If it does not specify such a time, the controller 8 starts the program immediately. In this case, the automatic, optimized selection described below will be omitted, and instead a fixed standard washing program will be used from the user-selected class.
  • the program selection takes place in the following steps.
  • the controller 8 adds at this time the process time t, which is associated with the standard program of the selected class, so as to estimate the end of the program apparently desired by the user. For example, if again the input is at 11:30 pm and the user indicates the time of program start as 6:00, then the controller first determines the process time t of the default program associated with the selected class. If this is e.g. 75 minutes, the controller calculates from this the apparently desired time of program end as 7:15 clock or the duration D as 7 hours, 45 minutes.
  • the controller 8 After the controller 8 has calculated the time duration D, it determines in the list 15 all those washing programs whose process duration t is not greater than the time duration D and which belong to the class entered by the user.
  • the controller 8 From the programs thus determined, the controller 8 now determines the program which has the best target variable Z. If the target variable Z corresponds, for example, to the expected energy requirement in kilowatt hours, the controller 8 selects that washing program whose target variable Z has the lowest value.
  • the controller would determine the washing program 3 in this way, since this has the lowest energy requirement of 1,050 kWh of the programs 1 - 3 determined.
  • the controller 8 calculates the start time for the effective program start to which the washing program should be started. This time controller 8 determines from the expected process duration t of the determined wash program such that the wash program ends within a certain tolerance period before the target time derived from the user input (i.e., the apparently desired end time of the program).
  • the tolerance period is advantageously at most 20 minutes, in particular at most 10 minutes.
  • the end time derived from the user input corresponds to the current time of user input plus the available time period D.
  • the controller keeps the laundry treatment means of the device off until the mentioned start time is reached. Then the determined washing program is carried out so that it is ready shortly before or at the finish time.
  • the target quantity may also be a suitable function, eg a weighted sum, of two or more of these target values.
  • each target with several target sizes, e.g. the energy consumption, the water consumption, the mentioned organic index as well as the mentioned laundry load index.
  • the input and output device 9 can be designed in this case so that it is possible for the user to select the target size to be optimized.
  • the controller selects that washing program from the determined washing programs, which is optimal with respect to the selected target variable.
  • the programs of a class may also differ in several of the mentioned parameters.
  • a plurality of predefined washing programs are stored in the list 15 for each class.
  • a suitable algorithm is provided which calculates an optimal washing program from a plurality of conceivable washing programs of the respective class.
