Definitions

  • the invention relates to a water supply control and a washing machine.
  • the invention relates to a water supply control for wet washing with an automatic washing machine, which has a tub for holding water, a washing drum rotatably mounted in the tub for holding laundry, and a circulation system for conveying the water from a first area of the tub to a second area of the tub Having the tub and a sensor device for sensing a filling level of the water in the tub, and a corresponding washing machine.
  • the document DE 10 2014 106275 A1 discloses a water supply controller according to the preamble of independent claim 1.
  • the invention therefore faces the problem of providing a water supply control and an automatic washing machine that have an improved washing effect. According to the invention, this problem is solved by a water supply control with the features of patent claim 1 and a washing machine with the features of Patent claim 8 solved.
  • Advantageous refinements and developments of the invention result from the following dependent claims.
  • the advantages that can be achieved with the invention consist not only in an optimized distribution of the water intake quantity in the water intake process of wet washing, but also in a time saving.
  • the water that is available is sucked up, so that items of laundry in an area close to the base of the drum are also soaked through.
  • the circulation system supports the distribution of the water when the water level has dropped to the level of the lower edge of the washing drum, in that a so-called sump liquor, i.e. the lye in the sump from this point onwards, is fed directly into the laundry via the circulation system is sprayed.
  • the washing machine can be a pure washing machine or a combination device such as a washer-dryer. Information on position and direction relates to the operating position of the washing machine.
  • the filling level at the lower edge of the washing drum therefore represents a switch-on threshold value. That is, if the filling level of the water in the tub drops from the predetermined filling level to a filling level equal to or less than the switching-on threshold value, the flooding system is activated.
  • water is understood to mean water that can also contain detergents in addition to pure water. It can therefore also be a lye in particular.
  • the fill level is sensed using a pressure sensor as a sensor device, which is positioned at a predetermined height in the tub. As a result, a change in pressure from a level above the lower edge of the washing drum to a level equal to or lower than the lower edge of the washing drum can be sensed. The flooding system is then controlled depending on the pressure.
  • the fill level is sensed using a temperature sensor as a sensor device, which is positioned at a predetermined height in the tub.
  • the flooding system is controlled as a function of temperature.
  • the sensor device is preferably positioned in a sump of the tub.
  • the sump is a lower area of the tub.
  • the fill level in millimeters of water column is preferably determined using the sensor device positioned in the sump.
  • the flooding system is only switched off again after it has been switched on according to b) if a fill level of the water is sensed which is less than a predetermined switch-off threshold value.
  • the predetermined turn-off threshold is a level that is in the sump.
  • the predetermined turn-off threshold is preferably in the range of 0 to 147 Pa (0 to 15 mmHg), more preferably in the range of 0 to 98 Pa (0 to 10 mmHg), still more preferably in the range of 0 to 49 Pa (0 to 5 mmHg).
  • the invention also relates to an automatic washing machine, which has a tub for holding water, a washing drum rotatably mounted in the tub for holding laundry and a circulation system for conveying the water from a first area of the tub to a second area of the tub, a sensor device for sensing a filling level of the water in the tub and a control device which is designed and set up to control a water supply control according to one or more of the embodiments described above.
  • the statements made about the water supply control apply equally to the washing machine and vice versa.
  • the sensor device is preferably a pressure and/or temperature sensor. More preferably, the sensor device is arranged in the sump of the tub.
  • the pressure sensor can be an analog pressure sensor that determines a pressure that forms in an air trap.
  • the flooding system is preferably designed to convey water from a lower area of the tub into an upper area of the tub.
  • That Flooding system preferably comprises a flooding pipe connected to the lower portion of the tub, wherein the flooding pipe is further connected to a flooding pump adapted to pump the water into a bypass line where it is pumped out at the top of the tub.
  • the water is sprayed into the upper area of the tub by means of a nozzle which is arranged at one end of the bypass line.
  • the washing machine has a tub 1 for holding water (not shown) and a washing drum 2 rotatably mounted in the tub 1 for holding laundry 6 .
  • the tub 1 is coupled to a water inlet which has a dispenser box 7 and a hose 8 connecting the dispenser box 7 and the tub 1 .
  • the tub 1 is coupled to a drain device 4 via which water can be removed from the tub 1 .
  • the drain device 4 has a drain pipe 41 which is connected to a drain pump 42 which is designed to pump water into the drain line 43 which usually opens into a sewer. Furthermore, a sensor device 5 is arranged in the lower area of the tub 1, based on the operational set-up position of the washing machine, the so-called sump 11, so that a level of water in the tub 1 can be determined.
  • the washing machine also has a circulation system 3 which is designed to convey water from a lower area of the tub 1 into an upper area of the tub 1 .
  • the flooding system 3 has a flooding pipe 31 which is connected to the lower area of the tub 1 .
  • the circulation pipe 31 is also connected to a circulation pump 32, which is designed to pump water into the circulation line 33, where it is sprayed into the laundry 6 in the upper area of the tub 1, for example by means of a nozzle (not shown).
  • the automatic washing machine has a control device (not shown) which is designed and set up to control a water supply.
  • water is supplied to the tub 1 via the flushing-in dispenser 7 and the hose 8, as indicated by the in 1 shown arrow indicated.
  • FIG. 2 shows an enlarged partial representation of the in 1 washing machine shown in section II.
  • an amount of water is supplied to the tub 1 so that a predetermined fill level h 2 is reached, which is above a lower edge of the washing drum 3 .
  • the flooding system 3 is switched off.
  • the laundry 6 absorbs water until the water drops from the predetermined fill level h 2 to a fill level h 1 , which is at the lower edge of the washing drum 3 . From this filling level h 1 , the laundry 6 no longer touches any water and can therefore no longer absorb any.
  • the controller (not shown) is designed and set up to control the drainage system 3 depending on the pressure in such a way that water is absorbed by the laundry 6 by suction until the filling level h 1 is reached and from this level the drainage system 3 is switched on so that the water is conveyed from the lower area of the tub 1 to the upper area (not shown) of the tub 1 so that the laundry 6 can absorb water. If the water level is below a predetermined switch-off threshold value, for example a level h 3 +49 Pa (5 mm water column), the level h 3 corresponding to a position of the sensor device 5 in the tub 1, the flooding system 3 is switched off.
  • a predetermined switch-off threshold value for example a level h 3 +49 Pa (5 mm water column
  • Figures 3a and 3b show a time course of a fill level and a switching state in the flooding system during a water intake period of in 1 and 2 washing machines shown.
  • water is supplied to the tub until the predetermined level h 2 is reached.
  • the flooding system is switched off, with the unit of the circuit status in the flooding system being chosen arbitrarily.
  • the laundry in the washing drum sucks up the water until the water drops to the fill level h 1 , so that one can also speak of a negative slope. Then the filling level of the water in the tub is so low that the laundry cannot absorb the water.
  • the flooding system When the water has dropped from the filling level h 2 to the filling level h 1 , the flooding system is switched on, so that the filling level of the water in the tub is reduced relatively quickly. As soon as a level of 49 Pa (5 mmWs) is sensed, the flooding system is switched off. The level of water in the tub rises to a level greater than 49 Pa (5 mmWc).
