  • the composition of such detergents and cleaning agents is usually complex; in addition to washing-active substances, so-called surfactants, they often also contain bleaches, enzymes, water softeners, etc.
  • surfactants in particular are of great importance, since they lower the surface tension at the water-fat interface and are therefore decisive for the optimal removal of soiling from textiles, for example.
  • anionic surfactants especially alkylbenzene sulfates, are used in particular.
  • greasy soiling is usually removed by the addition of surfactants to the soiling.

This drum, which tapers upwards, has several drainage holes in the upper part along its perimeter. For dewatering, an aqueous liquid is driven upwards and through the dewatering holes as the drum rotates due to centrifugal forces. Since the area around these drainage holes tends to become biologically contaminated, the detection device in the tub should emit light from the light source into the vicinity of the drainage holes and evaluate the reflected light.
  • the US 2013/0312202 A1 describes according to claim 1 a method for operating a laundry treatment device with a rotatable drum which at least partially defines a treatment chamber into which laundry items can be received for treatment according to an automated operating cycle, the method comprising: Receiving a weight signal indicating a weight of each item of laundry within the treatment chamber from a weight-determining device within the laundry treatment device; Receiving a volume signal, which indicates a volume of each item of laundry within the treatment chamber, from a volume-determining device within the laundry treatment device; and determining a qualitative load size of the laundry items in the treatment chamber based on both the weight signal and the volume signal.

  • Radiation permeability or “radiation permeable” is to be interpreted broadly. "Radiation-permeable” in the context of the invention can mean the permeability for radiation in the entire spectral wavelength range or also refer, for example, to one or more defined wavelength ranges of the spectrum, such as infrared radiation or UV radiation.
  • the drum is in motion while the method is being carried out, that is to say, for example, rotates or reverses.
  • the method can in principle also be carried out when the drum is at a standstill.
  • the method according to the invention additionally comprises the step (a) rotating the drum at a predetermined speed Dz.
  • the at least one radiation passage with a certain frequency ⁇ v S traverses a position which enables radiation to enter and exit the drum in step (b) of the method.
  • This position is also referred to below as the corresponding position.
  • the configuration of the at least one radiation passage is not restricted according to the invention. It can be a material cutout in the drum, but it can also be, for example, an inlay made of radiation-permeable material, for example made of quartz glass or a plastic. According to the invention, the radiation passage is generally arranged on a lateral drum wall.
  • the shape of the radiation passage is also not restricted according to the invention; it can be a circular hole, but it can also be an elliptical recess or a rectangular or perimeter-spanning annular inlay. Likewise, the size is essentially only limited by a size that is sensible or permissible for a given operation.
  • the at least one radiation passage serves to ensure that radiation from a radiation source can get into the interior of the drum and reflected radiation can get out of the drum again.
  • the drum rotates in step (a) at a speed Dz of 20 to 200 rpm, more preferably at a speed Dz of 40 to 80 rpm.
  • Step (b) of the method according to the invention provides that radiation from the at least one radiation source is emitted in a wavelength range from ⁇ 1 to ⁇ 2 .
  • the radiation is emitted continuously in step (b).
  • continuous means that the at least one radiation source of the spectrometer emits radiation without interruption while the method according to the invention is being carried out. In this way, it can be ensured that when the drum moves, irrespective of ⁇ v S, radiation is radiated into the interior of the drum when the at least one radiation passage is in the corresponding position.
  • the radiation is emitted with a predetermined radiation pulse frequency ⁇ v E in step (b)
  • the level of the pulse frequency is not restricted.
  • the drum rotates, for example at a speed Dz, it is preferable is that the radiation pulse rate ⁇ v E advantageously chosen so that it coincides with the frequency of ⁇ v s at which the at least one radiation passage passes through the corresponding position. Therefore, in a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, a connection is stored in the control device, which synchronizes the radiation pulse rate ⁇ E v with the dependent from the speed of the drum Dz frequency ⁇ v S. A predetermined starting position of the drum is preferably also taken into account.

If the drum rotates, for example, at a speed Dz, so that the at least one radiation passage with a frequency ⁇ v S passes through the position which enables radiation to enter and exit the drum in step (b) of the method according to the invention, the length of the Period of time ⁇ depend on this frequency. It applies here that the length of ⁇ can decrease with a higher frequency ⁇ v S, that is to say with an increasing speed Dz.
  • the length of the time period ⁇ can, however, also increase as the size of the at least one radiation passage increases. If, for example, the drum speed Dz remains the same, the at least one radiation passage is dimensioned larger, then ⁇ will also be larger, since radiation reflected from the inside of the drum can reach the at least one radiation detector over a longer period of time.
  • the length of the time period ⁇ will certainly also depend on the technical design of the radiation detector itself, with higher-quality radiation detectors, for example, being able to detect measurement signals with a high degree of accuracy even in comparatively short periods of time.
  • the length of the at least one time period ⁇ is particularly preferably in the range from 1 ms to 100 ms. However, ⁇ is very particularly preferably in the range from 1 ms to 10 ms.
  • the length of the time period ⁇ can, however, also be based on the Allan variance, for example.
  • the Allan variance sets the mean u of measurement signals, obtained in a first time interval i of length ⁇ , with the mean value u of the measurement signals obtained in a second time interval i + 1 of length ⁇ , and the number of time intervals M in accordance with the following formula (1) in relation.
  • the statistical noise of measurement signals can be reduced to 1 / f noise.
