Definitions

  • the invention relates to a washer-dryer and a method for operating a washer-dryer.
  • the invention relates to a washer-dryer with a drum for receiving laundry, a fan for blowing process air during a drying process, a control and / or regulating device for controlling and / or regulating operating sequences and a display for displaying a message.
  • lint can form, which is deposited in the drum, in a tub and / or in a condensation duct of the washer-dryer.
  • a lint removal program is offered for removing the lint, which is designed to remove the lint from the washer-dryer, according to a prior art that is not documented in print.
  • a user of the washer-dryer is informed that the lint removal program can be selected. If the user carries out several drying processes but still does not use the lint removal program, more and more lint will accumulate in the washer-dryer, which can lead to poorer drying performance and increased energy consumption and, in the worst case, to clogging of the washer-dryer.
  • the user usually cannot assess how much lint has deposited and when it is necessary to carry out the lint removal program. Since it is also possible that the user reads the instructions for use only partially or not at all, there is also the risk that the lint removal program is used too seldom or not at all and that lint accumulates over a longer period of time. The accumulation of lint can dry out and severely obstruct the flow of air. Due to the reduced air circulation, the drying process or drying process is drawn out and the energy consumption increases significantly as a result.
  • the DE 39 30 727 A1 deals with the evaluation of a differential pressure in the air duct and the DE 40 34 273 A1 deals with the cooling time of the heater.
  • the invention thus presents the problem of providing a washer-dryer and a method for operating a washer-dryer in which lint is removed from the washer-dryer in good time.
  • the advantages that can be achieved with the invention are, in addition to providing the user with the information on using the lint removal program on the washer dryer itself, that the information message for lint removal is displayed depending on the use of the fan that is linked to a drying process. This ensures that the user is informed in good time before there is too much lint in the washer dryer and a malfunction can occur.
  • the control and / or regulating device is designed to evaluate a running time of the fan and to control and / or regulate the display in such a way that it displays a message with information depending on the running time of the fan, a lint removal program to start.
  • the lint removal program is designed to remove lint from the washer-dryer.
  • the user receives a request to use the lint removal program in the display of the washer-dryer, which is tailored to his usage habits.
  • This avoids an excessive accumulation of lint, which can lead to a disruption in the drying process.
  • drying performance can be improved and energy consumption can be reduced.
  • clogging of the washer-dryer can be avoided.
  • the lint removal program designed to remove lint from the washer dryer is preferably a program designed to rinse lint out of the washer dryer.
  • the running time of the blower represents the time in which the blower is or was in operation.
  • control and / or regulating device is designed to evaluate a running time of the fan
  • control and / or regulating device is designed to count the running time of the blower and to compare it with a predetermined threshold value.
  • the display shows the message when the running time of the fan is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold value.
  • the control and / or regulating device is preferably designed to control and / or regulate the display in such a way that it displays the message with the information to start the lint removal program when the running time of the fan is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold value is. It is assumed here that, in a washer-dryer, after a predetermined running time, which corresponds to the predetermined threshold value, such lint has accumulated in the washer-dryer that it should be removed.
  • the display preferably shows the message on and / or after the end of a washing and / or drying program. That is, the control and / or regulating device is preferably designed to control and / or regulate the display in such a way that it displays the message at and / or after the end of a washing and / or drying program. This has the advantage that the user can start the lint removal program immediately after the washing and / or drying program has ended. More preferably, the display shows the message at and / or after the end of the drying program or the control and / or regulating device is preferably designed to control and / or regulate the display in such a way that it displays the message at and / or after the end of the Drying program.
  • control and / or regulating device is designed to block the start of a program stored in the washer-dryer that differs from the lint removal program when the message is displayed, until the display of the message is confirmed by a user and / or the lint removal program is carried out has been. This means that the user must acknowledge the displayed message before further operation of the washer-dryer is possible. This ensures that the user has read and / or perceived the message.
  • the washer-dryer also has a running time counter which is designed to count an operating time of the fan during which the fan is switched on.
  • the running time counter is linked to a switch-on time of the fan.
  • the runtime counter can be integrated into the control or regulating device or designed separately.
  • the control and / or regulating device is designed to reset the running time counter to a predetermined initial value after the lint removal program has been carried out.
  • the predetermined output value is preferably zero.
  • the control and / or regulating device can be designed to implement the resetting to the predetermined initial value by deleting an operating time counted by the runtime counter or by setting it to zero.
  • the phrase "running time counter which is designed to count the operating time of the fan" means a running time counter which is designed to count the operating time in hours, minutes and / or seconds.
  • the washer-dryer also has a memory which is designed to store the running time of the fan after each washing and / or drying program has been carried out and / or to store the predetermined initial value after the lint removal program has been carried out.
  • the control and regulating device is preferably designed to activate the fan exclusively during a drying process for drying the laundry in the drum. That is, the control and regulating device is preferably designed to control and / or regulate the fan in such a way that the fan is deactivated during a washing process for washing the laundry in the drum.
  • the washer-dryer can be a washer-dryer with heat pump technology, condenser technology, exhaust air technology or solar technology. It then has the corresponding components required for the respective technology.
  • the washer-dryer is preferably a washer-dryer with condenser technology.
  • the washer-dryer then preferably has, in addition to the tub with the drum and the fan, condenser technology in the form of a condenser and a heating element through which process air flows during a drying process in order to dry laundry in the drum.
  • Fig. 1 shows a flow chart of the method according to the invention for operating a washer-dryer.
  • step 10 the user has selected a drying process
  • step 20 the user has selected a washing and drying process.
  • step 30 is carried out in which a runtime counter of the washer-dryer is queried, which is designed to count an operating time of a fan of the washer-dryer.
  • Step 30 is followed by a step 40 in which the operating time of the fan counted by the running time counter is set to a predetermined threshold value is compared, which is, for example, 30 hours, and it is determined whether the queried counted operating time is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold value.
  • step 40 is followed by a step 70 in which the interrogated counted operating time is stored in a memory of the washer-dryer. If so, ie the queried counted operating time is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold value, step 40 is followed by a step 50 in which a display of the washer dryer is controlled and / or regulated in this way by a control and / or regulating device of the washer dryer is that it displays a message with information to start a lint removal program that is designed to remove lint from the washer-dryer. Step 50 is followed by a step 60 in which it is determined whether the lint removal program is being carried out.
  • step 60 If not, i.e., it is determined in step 60 that the lint removal program is not being carried out, a return is made to step 40. If so, i.e. it is determined in step 60 that the lint removal program is being carried out, the interrogated counted running time is deleted, i.e. set to zero, and step 70 is passed, in which the running time set to zero is stored.
  • Fig. 2 shows a washer-dryer according to the invention.
  • a washer-dryer with condenser technology is shown, ie the washer-dryer has, in addition to a tub 1 with a drum 11, condenser technology in the form of a condenser 3, a heating element 5 and a fan 6 through which process air 7 flows during a drying process in order to be in the Drum 11 located laundry (not shown) to dry.
  • the washer-dryer can also have other components if it is a washer-dryer with heat pump technology, exhaust air technology or solar technology.
  • the washer-dryer has a control and / or regulating device 2 for controlling and / or regulating operating sequences and a display 4 for displaying a message.
  • the control and / or regulating device 2 is designed to evaluate a running time of the fan 6 and to control and / or regulate the display 4 in such a way that it displays a message with information on a lint removal program as a function of the running time of the fan 6 designed to remove lint from the washer-dryer.
  • the control and / or regulating device has a running time counter 21 which is designed to count an operating time of the fan 6.
  • the washer-dryer also has a memory 8 which is designed to store the operating time counted by the running time counter 21.
