Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a laundry washing machine and to a method for selecting washing modes of a laundry washing machine.
  • Laundry washing machines comprise a user control interface by means of which it is possible to control the operation of the laundry washing machine, select a washing program from a plurality of washing programs (for example wool, cotton) and, for the selected washing program, select washing options (for example with or without spin, with or without prewash) and adjust washing parameters (for example the temperature value or the rpm/min of the spin).
  • a washing program for example wool, cotton
  • washing options for example with or without spin, with or without prewash
  • washing parameters for example the temperature value or the rpm/min of the spin.
  • a user control interface of a known laundry washing machine comprises a plurality of pushbuttons and one or more knobs, through some of which it is possible to select the washing program and through others of which it is possible to select washing options and through others of which it is possible to set washing parameters.
  • the plurality of selection buttons and knobs in addition to occupying an undesirably large space on the housing of the laundry washing machine, requires a plurality of electromechanical switching components requiring maintenance, and does not allow having a unique aesthetic design for a line of laundry washing machines with basic models (with fewer functions and options) and advanced models (with more functions and options).
  • a further requirement is that of further improving the control ergonomics of the washing machine.
  • a laundry washing machine comprises:
  • the selection ring surrounds, closing within itself, the entire user control interface, which is free of input means or of displaying means externally to the selection ring.
  • a method for selecting washing modes of a washing machine comprises:
  • the structuring of the display and the selection/adjustment according to the three program/parameter/value selection levels/modes further allows associating the respective and only possible sub-selections to each washing program and to each parameter, thus preventing the occurrence of doubts in the user if a certain option is or is not available or activatable/deactivatable for a specific washing program.
  • a laundry washing machine 1 comprises:
  • the selection ring 13 surrounds, closing within itself, the entire user control interface 7, which is free of input means or of displaying means externally to the selection ring 13.
  • a method for selecting washing modes of a laundry washing machine 1 comprises:
  • the structuring of the display and the selection/adjustment according to the three program/parameter/value selection levels/modes further allows associating the respective and only possible sub-selections to each washing program and to each parameter, thus preventing the occurrence of doubts in the user if a certain option is or is not available or activatable/deactivatable for a specific washing program.
  • the program icons 10 are arranged and displayable in a highlighted manner in a program region 15 radially external to the display 9, extending as an arc of a circle adjacent to (but radially internal with respect to) the selection ring 13.
  • the program icons 10 are arranged and displayable in a highlighted manner, spaced apart from each other, in a single circumferential row.

In other words, the circumferential row of the parameter icons 11 is arranged as a continuation of the circumferential row of program icons 10.
  • the program icons 10, as well as the parameter icons 11, illuminate one after the other on rotating the selection ring 13, allowing the user to uniquely identify which washing program or which washing parameter is currently ready to be selected/confirmed by the activation of the confirmation button 14.
  • the laundry washing machine 1 is configured to execute one or more (each combination is provided) of the following washing programs:
  • the laundry washing machine 1 is configured to execute the washing programs with one or more (each combination is provided) of the following parameters:
  • the confirmation button 14 allows confirming the selection of the washing program made by rotating the selection ring 13, and switching from the program selection mode to the parameter selection mode.
  • the confirmation of the washing program selection and the transition of the user control interface 7 from the program selection mode to the parameter selection mode occur both at the same time in response to a single activation of the confirmation button 14.
  • the confirmation button 14 allows confirming the selection of the washing parameter made by rotating the selection ring 13, and switching from the parameter selection mode to the adjustment mode.
  • the confirmation of the washing parameter selection and the transition of the user control interface 7 from the parameter selection mode to the setting mode occur both at the same time in response to a single activation of the confirmation button 14.
  • the display 9 forms a value displaying region 29, such as an LED or LCD displaying region, for displaying the value 12 of the selected washing parameters.

  • a predetermined maximum time period for example selected in the range from 45min to 75min, about 60, 59 min
  • keeping at least some of the values 12 of the washing parameters as selected by the user, but modifying the feeding time of a washing liquid and the heating time of the washing liquid and the handling/rotation time of the laundry container 3 with respect to the pre-set times for a normal (non-accelerated) run of the same washing program.
  • the user control interface 7 is configured so that, once set the accelerated mode, it allows the selection and setting of the washing program and of the washing parameter values limited to washing programs, washing parameters and values compatible with the reduced washing time.
  • This accelerated washing mode is activatable by means of the activation of a dedicated acceleration button 30 arranged in the display region 9 within the selection ring 13.
