Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for operating a spinning machine with a drum, in which in a spin phase laundry in the drum is thrown and a weight of the laundry in the drum at several times in the spin phase is determined.
  • the EP 2 056 079 A2 describes a method for operating a spinning machine with a drum according to the preamble of claim 1 and a spinning machine according to the preamble of claim 8.
  • the EP 2 607 542 A2 describes a method of operating a spinning machine with a drum in which in a spin phase laundry is spun in the drum and a weight of the laundry in the drum at several times in the spin phase is determined.
  • the weight (or inertia) of the laundry and the drum and the rotational speed of the drum are measured at two different successive times. From this, the force acting on the drum is calculated.
  • This calculated force value is then compared with a reference force value.
  • the rotation of the drum is stopped when the calculated force value exceeds the reference force value.
  • the spin phase is terminated when a weight difference between two weights determined at two different times is less than a predetermined weight difference. Because the weights are measured at two different times in the spin phase and the weight difference is determined therefrom, the weight difference is independent of a weight determined before a washing or spinning process. Rather, the weight difference is a measure of a current amount of dewatering, from which it can be deduced whether the laundry should continue to be thrown or the spin phase can be terminated.
  • the achievable with the present invention consist in addition to the adaptation of the spin time to the dewatering amount in the achievement of repeatable residual moisture regardless of the spin speed.
  • shorter spin times can be achieved, which is the case with a washing machine or a tumble dryer leads to shorter overall program times.
  • both the laundry due to lower mechanical stress and wrinkling and the spinner are spared. This results in particular in the spin machine to a lower mechanical load and thus a longer life.
  • the residual moisture content of the laundry can be influenced via a drainage profile.
  • the spin phase is preferably a final spin phase, i. a spin phase after which a washing program is completed and / or after which the laundry is provided for final drying, for example for a dryer or for hanging the laundry.
  • the laundry may not only be laundry of fabric such as clothing, bedding or curtains but also other items to be washed such as floor mats or flip-flops.
  • the two different times are consecutive times at which the weight of the laundry is determined.
  • the respective weights are preferably determined continuously until the end of the spin phase at times, between which a constant or one of the last determined weight difference and / or dewatering amount dependent period of time.
  • a period of time which is in each case between two consecutive times of the plurality of times is constant. That is, the weight is determined at regular intervals.
  • the times at which the weight is determined in the spin phase are predetermined and stored in a software of the spinner.
  • the time interval which is in each case between two successive times of the plurality of times, is set dependent on the determined weight difference.
  • the smaller the weight difference the less water is spewed out of the laundry. Over the spin duration, the proportion of water bound in the wash decreases. Therefore, the smaller the determined weight difference, the smaller the distance between the two consecutive times. That The more the spin phase approaches its end, the more often the weight difference is determined.
  • a speed at which the drum is rotated in the spin phase is constant.
  • the constant speed is one maximum spin speed of the spinner.
  • a defined dewatering quotient can be achieved depending on the laundry and load.
  • a speed at which the drum is rotated in the spin phase is increased stepwise.
  • the speed is increased stepwise up to the maximum spin speed of the spinner.
  • the machine and laundry protection can be increased compared to conventional methods.
  • a rotational speed of the drum is adjusted in dependence on a measurement of an imbalance of the drum.
  • the speed of the drum may possibly be reduced and, at the same time, the spin-drying time may be extended depending on the residual moisture.
  • the laundry can always be adjusted to the same final moisture content or residual alkalinity.
  • the determination of the weight of the laundry in the drum is started in the spin phase. More preferably, the determination of the weight of the laundry in the drum in the spin phase is started when the drum is rotated at a speed equal to or greater than a predetermined speed.
  • the predetermined speed is, for example, the maximum spin speed of the spinner when the rotational speed of the drum in the spin phase is constant.
  • the invention further relates to a spinning machine having a rotatable drum for receiving laundry, a motor for rotating the drum, a sensor means for determining the weight of the laundry in the drum and a control device for controlling a spin phase, which is arranged a spin phase according to the above Control method in one or more of its embodiments.
  • Sensor means for determining the weight of the laundry in the drum or correspondingly designed weighing systems are known. For example, in the EP 1 760 186 A2 a weighing system described.
  • the spinning machine can be a machine used in the commercial sector or a domestic sling machine.
  • the spinner can only be designed for spinning like a laundry centrifuge.
  • the spinner may be designed for washing and spinning laundry such as a washing machine.
  • the spinner may also be a combination device of a washing / spinning and / or drying machine.
  • Fig. 1 shows a method according to the invention over time.
  • the weight of the laundry located in the drum of the spinner is plotted against time.
  • the course of the weight is shown by the curve G.
  • the speed 2 of the drum is increased, so that the drum is rotated in the spin phase at a predetermined speed.
  • the measurement of the weight of the laundry in the drum begins at predetermined times 3.
  • a period of time, which is in each case between two consecutive times 3, is constant. If a weight difference between two consecutive times of 3 detected weights is less than a predetermined weight difference, the weight measurement is terminated. This is the case at the measuring end t e.
  • the end of the spin phase coincides with the end of measurement t e.
  • the rotational speed of the drum 2 at the measuring end t e is set to 0 Umin -1 to terminate the spin-extraction phase.
  • Fig. 2 shows a partial excerpt Fig. 1 who in Fig. 1 is indicated by II.
  • a first weight G1 and second weight G2 of the laundry in the drum is determined.
  • a measuring period t m is between the two consecutive first and second times 3 1 and 3 2 .
  • the spin phase and the determination of the weight of the laundry in the drum are therefore continued. If a determined weight difference is smaller than the predetermined weight difference ⁇ GS, the spin phase is ended; this is in Fig. 2 but not the case.
