Definitions
- the applicant has been developing and selling dosing devices, control devices and software for the operation of washing or cleaning systems, in particular in the field of commercial dishwashing and commercial laundry, for decades.
- a washing installation is understood to mean any installation which comprises at least one washing machine, ie in particular a domestic washing machine, or a commercial washing machine, in particular for washing textiles.
- a cleaning system is understood to mean any system which comprises at least one dishwasher, in particular a commercial dishwasher.
- At least one container containing a medium can be coupled to the washing or cleaning system.
- a medium is understood as meaning a detergent or a dishwashing detergent or a component of such an aforementioned agent. Any other medium to be used in connection with a washing or cleaning process in the washing or cleaning installation is also understood as a medium in the sense of the present patent application. For example, in the case of a system having a dishwashing installation, the medium can also be provided by a rinse aid.
- the medium is preferably in liquid form, a concentrate, or a solution. It is also covered by the invention if the medium is provided in powder or granular form.
- the container can be provided by a conventional container of any size and can be made of glass or plastic, for example.
- the container can be detachably coupled to a coupling point.
- the coupling point is part of the washing or cleaning system and is spatially assigned to it. It can be a coupling point that has a carrier or a receiving device for the container.
- a coupling point within the meaning of the present patent application can also be understood as a mounting position for the container at which the container is coupled to the washing and cleaning system, for example with the aid of a discharge device for the medium, for example a suction lance. The coupling point and thus the assembly position is then the place at which the suction lance is to be inserted into the container.
- the container includes a data carrier, for example an RFID tag.
- An information data record is written into the data carrier.
- the information data record is written, for example, when the container is filled with the medium.
- the information data record contains at least information about the type of medium, for example about the type of detergent, or the type of dishwashing detergent, or the type of cleaner, or the type of rinse aid, and also information about the volume of medium in the container .
- the container size is made available as part of the information data record in the data carrier.
- Such a system also includes a dosing device.
- the dosing device serves to dose the medium.
- a dosing device in the sense of the present application is understood in particular as a device as described in the German patent application DE 10 2011 119 021 A1 or in the DE 10 2011 108 396 , both of which are assigned to the applicants.
- the content of these previously known patent applications is hereby included in the content of the present application, also for the purpose of making reference to individual features.
- the dosing device essentially serves to determine dosing quantities in order to provide the medium in the desired quantity or concentration. Typically, it can be provided within the scope of the invention that the dosing device mixes the medium with water.
- the system also includes a pump arrangement which advantageously interacts with the dosing device.
- the Pump arrangement serves to supply the medium to a target container.
- the medium can thus be conveyed to at least one washing machine or to at least one dishwasher by means of the pump arrangement.
- the pump arrangement can serve both to discharge the medium from the respective container and to supply the medium, preferably mixed with water, to the target container.
- the system further includes a control unit.
- the control unit is connected to the pump arrangement and the dosing device and can control or respond to both.
- One or more washing or cleaning programs can be stored in the control unit, which—in a manner known per se—determine at what time and in what sequence which metered quantities of which medium are to be supplied.
- the system also includes a reading device, for example an RFID reader, with which the information data record can be read.
- the reading device can be part of the controller or can be arranged separately from the control unit and can communicate with the control unit.
- the information contained in the information data record can be made accessible to the control unit, at least in part.
- the system also includes a counting device for determining the volume of medium removed from the container.
- the counting device can record or determine the consumption quantity of the medium. The determination is based on the respective dosing process. A determination can only be made for the current dosing process, or possibly also cumulatively, that is to say summed up over many dosing processes.
- the consumption volume can be determined, for example, with the aid of the control information of the pump arrangement and the dosing device.
- the system has a device for flow measurement or flow rate determination, which directly measures the respective quantities consumed.
- a current filling level of the container can be calculated by the control unit, taking into account the volume removed.
- the control unit therefore knows the current fill level of the container.
- a writing device is also advantageously provided.
- This can be an RFID writing device, for example.
- the current filling level of the container can be written to the data carrier as information using the writing device.
- the container can take information about its own filling level with it.
- a control system arranged there with a reading device arranged there can read out the fill level information that is then current and use it further.
- the system enables the exchange of containers and flexible handling.
- flexible use is made possible, particularly in larger washing or cleaning systems with a number of washing machines or with a number of dishwashers, if containers have to be subjected to a different positioning.
- a vacancy is also referred to as the current fill level within the meaning of the present application.
- the writing device of the system according to the invention can also write the information on the data carrier that the container is empty or completely empty.
- Such information can be used, for example, for later refilling of the container.
- the invention encompasses systems that continuously write the current filling level as information on the data carrier. Such a continuous or constant writing of the filling level information to the data medium can take place, for example, immediately after the end of each dosing process or alternatively also at the beginning or during each dosing process.
- the fill level can be managed as a kind of account on the data carrier, and each individual metered quantity consumed in the case of a metering process can be booked directly on the RFID tag in the manner of an account debit.
- control unit can calculate a current fill level of the container, taking into account the volume removed, and a writing device is provided by means of which the current fill level can be written to the data carrier as information.
- the system also includes an alternative embodiment in which the control unit does not necessarily have to be able to calculate the current fill level of the container, but can further process information about how large the volume removed, i.e. the amount of medium dosed by the dosing device.
- the information about the volume removed can, for example, be information about the last volume removed in each case. Further processing can then be carried out by the control unit, for example in such a way that this value is stored and possibly summed up or forwarded to the writing device.
- the writing device does not write the information about the current filling level as information on the data carrier, but information about the volume removed, either as an individual quantity of the withdrawn volume, or as a cumulative total volume, writes to the data carrier.
- this information is also stored on the data carrier of the container.
- the data carrier can be read out by the control unit in question be, and the control unit can receive information about the current, actual level.
- the writing device writes the current filling level as information on the data carrier when the container is removed from the coupling point.
- an operator the user, is required to log off the container from the system when a container is removed from the coupling point, and to ensure that the writing device writes the current filling level onto the data carrier.
- this registration can also take place automatically each time the container is removed from the coupling point.
- the last-described system enables simplified handling, which in particular - even when using several containers - manages with just one reading device or one writing device.
- the user is required to register containers with the control or to register them.
- the current filling level of each container is noted on the respective data medium.
- an association between the container and the coupling point is advantageously established. This can be done, for example, by assigning a reading device to the coupling point, which read device immediately recognizes that a container with a corresponding data carrier is coupled to the corresponding coupling point. In this case, the reading device assigned to the coupling point can also transmit this information directly to the controller—possibly also automatically.
- a data carrier with information about the coupling point is also arranged at the coupling point.
- a mobile reader for example a mobile RFID reader
- an operator can, after coupling the container to the respective coupling point, both read the container with the data carrier attached there and scan the associated coupling point with the data carrier arranged there, so that in the Control automatically an assignment of the respective container to the respective coupling point can be made.
- a system is also included in which the operator has to register and deregister packs, ie containers.
- a user interface can be assigned to the controller, ie an interface by means of which it can communicate with the operator.
- the user can—possibly also manually—inform the controller that a specific container is being coupled to a specific coupling point or has been decoupled from it.
- the container is first scanned past a RFID reader, which may also be permanently installed, i.e. not mobile, and the controller then recognizes that a new container is to be connected to the system and asks the user individually at which coupling point, for example to which suction lance, the container that has just been scanned is to be connected or has been connected.
- the user can then identify the coupling point, for example suction lance No. 3, individually, for example manually.
- a corresponding procedure can be carried out when registering a container from the system. It can then be provided, for example, that the user, when detaching the container from the respective coupling point, again brings the container to the—permanently installed—read/write unit, and in this way deregisters the container.
- the invention also includes writing further information into the data carrier of a container with the aid of the writing unit, which states that the container is "in the service”.
- An identification of the "master”, ie the washing or cleaning system to which the container is connected, can also be written into the data carrier of the container.
- Such plant identification or system identification can also be made using an ID number of the control unit.
- the invention relates to a system for managing a washing or cleaning system, and in particular for detecting the consumption of a medium in a washing or cleaning system, according to claim 1.
- the object of the invention is in turn to provide a system that enables intelligent, in particular largely automated, process control and management of a cleaning or washing system.
- the system comprises at least one container which can be detachably coupled to a coupling point of the washing or cleaning system.
- a medium is located in the container, ie a detergent or cleaning agent or a component thereof or an agent used in a washing or cleaning process.
- the container includes a data carrier, for example an RFID tag.
- An information data record is written into the data carrier. This contains at least information about the type of medium, for example about the chemical used.
- the information data record is written directly or indirectly into the data carrier.
- a direct inscription can, for example, include the name of the medium being contained directly, ie directly readable by a control unit.
- Indirect writing of information about the type of medium is understood in the context of the application if, for example, a coding or article number or the like is used that allows the system to be controlled, for example by a comparison, or with the help of other sources of information, to identify the type of medium.
- the system includes a dosing device, a pump assembly, and a control unit.
- the system also includes a reading device and a counting device.
- control unit is able to calculate a current fill level of the container, in particular taking into account the volume removed.
- control unit is at least able to determine that the container has been completely emptied. A complete emptying of the container can be determined in any way.
- a writing unit is also provided.
- the writing unit is able to write information onto the data carrier.
- the writing device is at least designed to write information on the data carrier that this container has already been subjected to a connection to the system. This information is preferably written to the data carrier by the writing device when it is initially coupled to the system. The moment the container is registered with the system, a corresponding write process can take place.
- the system can - in the course carrying out the writing process, marking the data carrier to indicate that it has been connected or coupled to the system - assume that the container contains a certain amount of medium.
- the system can then calculate or at least determine when the container has been emptied, for example on the basis of the package size information received and taking into account the measurement of the metered amounts and their summation.
- information can be written to the data carrier by means of the writing device, to which system the container has been coupled.
- the controller can ensure or check that only those containers are connected to it that also contain written information that they are connected to the respective system. In this way, operating errors and mix-ups can be avoided.
- the information data record contains information about the filling level of the container.
- the information about the current filling level is advantageous in order to carry out or check an automated method for recording consumption.
- the control unit is in possession of the information about the filling level of the container.
- the controller acquires this ownership as a result of the transmission of information about the filling level of the container via a separate path, independently of the process of reading out the information data record.
- the operator information about the container size manually via the Make interface, the user interface, known to the controller.
- the controller can also have information about the fact that only packs of a certain size are permitted for coupling. In this case, the controller can assume that the container connected to it has a specific container size.
- information about the current filling level of the container when the container is removed from the coupling point can be written into the data carrier by means of the writing device.
- Such a writing process can either take place automatically, each time the container is taken or removed from the coupling point.
- the operator has to initiate such a writing process manually.
- the writing device can write information onto the data carrier that this container has been disconnected from the system.
- a type of usage history can be stored on the data carrier on the container itself. This enables a further improved, largely automated process management and control of a system according to the invention.
- Containers that contain this information in writing on the data carrier can also be used particularly flexibly.
- the invention relates to a container for receiving the medium and for use in a system for detecting the consumption of the medium in a washing or cleaning installation or for use in a system for managing a washing or cleaning installation.
- the object of the invention is to specify a container that can be used in a system that enables intelligent and largely automated process control and management of a cleaning system or a washing system.
- the invention solves this problem with a container having the features of claim 9.
- At least one item of information is written in the data carrier on the container.
- This information can be processed by the system, in particular by the control unit of the system.
- hose load factor is a variable that enables a calculation of maintenance intervals for a metering pump, in particular an interval for changing a hose of a hose pump.
- the hose load factor depends on the chemicals. Depending on the type of medium, different hose load factors can be of interest.
- the controller can automatically initiate a change of a hose of a peristaltic pump and, for example, inform an operator that maintenance is necessary.
- the information about the number of dosing processes can be used by the control unit of the system for statistical purposes, for example, in order to determine and improve the service life of containers.
- Information about the number of times the container has been filled can be of particular importance in a multi-way concept for containers. For example, it can be provided that a container must not exceed a specific number of filling processes.
- Information about other product properties such as viscosity, density, permitted temperature, processing range, etc. of the medium can be used by the control unit of the system to optimize the process control or at least to design it safely or to ensure it. For example, if the permissible temperature processing range is known, an emergency shutdown can take place if there are operational risks due to the measurement of a temperature outside the permissible range.
- control unit of the system can adapt the processing.
- Information about the expiry date of the medium or a best before date of the chemical can also be taken into account by the control unit.
- the controller can also issue appropriate warnings, for example.
- the information is stored in the data carrier in encoded or encrypted form. This enables protection against unauthorized access and against unauthorized manipulation of the information.
- the data carrier is an RFID tag.
- the invention further relates to a suction lance according to claim 11.
- the object of the invention is to provide a suction lance which is suitable for use in a system for managing a washing or cleaning installation or in a system for recording the consumption of a medium in a washing or cleaning installation.
- a reading device is assigned to the suction lance.
- the reading device can be an RFID reader, for example.
- This reading device can also include a writing device with which the data set on the container can be addressed and additional information can be written on the data medium on the container.
- the reading device is advantageously arranged directly on the suction lance.
- the suction lance also advantageously has an electrical or electronic interface for the purpose of connection to the control unit of a system for recording consumption or for managing a washing or cleaning system.
- the designated in its entirety with 10 system for detecting the consumption of a medium of a washing or cleaning system which can also be called a system for managing a washing or cleaning system, will first be explained using an exemplary embodiment in which according to 1 just a washing machine 42 connected.
- the washing machine shown schematically can be a conventional household washing machine or a conventional commercial textile washing machine.
- the invention also encompasses systems in which several washing machines or, alternatively, one or more dishwashers are provided as target containers.
- the embodiment of 1 shows a controller 11, a dosing device 13, three different containers 22, 23, 24, a pump 43, optionally a flow meter 44, an RFID read/write device 47, and an interface (the so-called user interface) 49.
- the controller 11 is shown only schematically, in the form of a circuit diagram. It includes at least one processor or one computing unit.
- the control unit 11 is connected to the aforementioned elements via electrical lines shown schematically. In fact, they can be signal lines or control lines, which can typically be designed with two or more wires. Over the indicated lines can also be used to transmit operating voltages for the individual participants 12, 43, 44, 49, 47 of the system.
- the controller 11 is connected to the motor 12 of the dosing device 13 via a connecting line 51 and to the pump 43 via a connecting line 45 . It is also connected to the flow measuring device 44 via a connecting line 46 and to the user interface 49 via a connecting line 50 and finally to the RFID read/write device 47 via a connecting line 48 .
- the RFID tag 31, 32, 33 is permanently connected to the container 22, 23, 24.
- the data carrier 31, 32, 33 can also be provided by another medium from which the stored information can be read electronically or optically.
- the data carrier is advantageously writable or rewritable in order to also be able to write information into the data carrier using the RFID writing device 47 .
- the data carrier is preferably arranged on a wall of the container 22, 23, 24.
- the container 24 can be brought to the associated coupling point 39 according to a variant of the invention.
- the RFID reader 47 can then communicate with the RFID tag 33 .
- This communication can either take place automatically, for example by the reading device 47 constantly or periodically sending out signals or receiving signals from the RFID tag 33, or alternatively it can be user-controlled.
- the reading device 47 can recognize the RFID tag 33 as such, and can recognize or read out the information, in particular about the type of container and the size of the container, and forward it to the controller 11 .
- information about the container size, ie about the amount of medium 27 in the container 24, and about the type of medium can be output and, for example, encoded via the connecting line 48 to the control unit 11 can be transmitted.
- the control unit 11 thus receives the information that the container 24 containing the medium 27 with a specific fill level 30 has been coupled to the coupling point 39 and thus to the suction lance 36 of the connecting line 21 .
- a corresponding coupling process is carried out successively with the containers 23 and 22 .
- the controller 11 can address the dosing device 13 via the motor 12 .
- the dosing device 13 comprises - as in 1 indicated only schematically - an input disc 14 and a Output disk 15.
- the output disk 15 can be rotated by the motor 12 about the axis of rotation 53, which is indicated only schematically, relative to the fixed input disk 14.
- Three inlets 16, 17, 18 for the three different media are arranged on the input disk.
- an inlet for a rinsing agent for example water, is additionally provided.
- the pump 43 can also be activated by the control unit 11 and can ensure, for example by generating a negative pressure, that a corresponding quantity, i.e. a certain volume, of medium is pumped out of the respective container 22 through the corresponding connecting line 19, 20, 21 , 23, 24 is discharged out, and the dosing device 13 happens.
- the pump 43 also ensures that the medium, possibly together with added water, is thereby supplied to the washing machine 42 through the connecting line 41 .
- the control unit 11 can determine the respective dosing quantity from the control signals of the pump 43 or, additionally or alternatively, also from the motor control signals, in conjunction with information about the rotational position of the output disk 15 .
- At least one flow measuring device 44 can also be provided, which determines the flow quantities and transmits them directly to the control unit 11 .
- the control unit 11 preferably has a counting device 61 as a component. This does not have to be in the form of a separate physical unit, but can be present as part of a processor in control unit 11 or just as an algorithm in control unit 11 . In any case, the counting device is used to determine the consumption values of the individual media in the connected containers.
- control unit 11 can transmit a signal via the control line 48 to the RFID writing device, which causes the writing device 47 to write into the corresponding RFID tag 31, 32, 33 on the corresponding container 24, 23, 22 write information about the current fill level.
- the device 47 is designed as a combined RFID reading and writing device.
- the writing device can therefore both read and write to RFID tags 31, 32, 33.
- the invention also includes systems in which a reading device for the data carriers 31, 32, 33 and a writing device for the data carriers 31, 32, 33 are formed by different components.
- the corresponding RFID tags 31 , 32 , 33 can be read out automatically by the unit 47 whenever a container 22 , 23 , 24 has been brought to a corresponding coupling point 37 , 38 , 39 .
- the reading process of the RFID tags 31, 32, 33 is user-controlled, for example by interacting with the interface 49.
- the interface 49 can, for example, contain a display, as well as a keyboard, a touch screen or another possibility for an operator to transmit information to the controller.
- the writing process i.e. the writing of the RFID tags 31, 32, 33 by the RFID writing device 47, can take place in different ways according to the invention:
- the RFID tag 31, 32, 33 can be written to every time the medium has been dosed. This approach can be used, for example, to constantly debit sales from an RFID medium bulk account, so to speak
- the system 10 has only a single reading and writing device 47 with which the data carriers 31, 32, 33 can be read out together.
- the read/write device 47 has a sufficiently large reception area to monitor all coupling points 37, 38, 39 to determine whether or not there are containers at them, and to read out the RFID tags 31, 32, 33 located there to be able to
- automated registration and deregistration of the individual containers at the controller 11 of the system 10 is thus advantageously already possible in that the container 22, 23, 24 is brought to the corresponding coupling point.
- a logoff is preferably also carried out automatically here when the corresponding container is taken or removed from the coupling point.
- the coupling points 37, 38, 39 and/or the individual suction lances 34, 35, 36 are each assigned their own RFID read/write devices.
- These permanently arranged read/write devices 54a, 54b, 54c are each connected to the controller 11 via a connecting line 48a, 48b, 48c. So here is already an assignment of the individual RFID read/write units 54a, 54b, 54c to the individual coupling points 37, 38, 39 have been made.
- the RFID reading device 54a can read out the information content of the RFID tag 33 directly. Then, after transmission of a corresponding signal from the reading device 54a via the connecting line 48a, the controller 11 knows immediately which coupling point, namely the coupling point 39, the container 24 is assigned to.
- FIG. 3 finally shows a further exemplary embodiment of a system 10 according to the invention, in which a reading/writing device 55 is arranged centrally.
- the stylized hand of a user indicates that a container 24 with the RFID tag 33 must be brought close to the read/write device 55 in order to register the container with the controller 11 and/or to register it.
- the container to be registered must still be assigned to the respective coupling point 37, 38, 39. This assignment can in turn be user-controlled.
- FIG. 4 Evidence of the embodiment of 4 an exemplary embodiment of a suction lance 36 according to the invention is shown.
- This can be in the form of a suction pipe and can be connected to a hose line 58 via a coupling 57, for example.
- the Hose line 58 of the embodiment of 4 can, for example, the connecting line 21 of the embodiment of 1 are equivalent to.
- a reading device 54a is attached directly to the suction lance 36 .
- the reading device 54a is preferably an RFID reading device. This is also preferably designed as an RFID writing device 54a at the same time.
- the device 54a is connected by means of an electrical or electronic interface 62 via an electrical connecting line 56, which is 4 is indicated only schematically, and which preferably runs along the hose line 58, or runs at least in sections along the hose line 58, with which in 4 controller 11 of the system 10, not shown, is connected.
- an electrical connecting line 56 which is 4 is indicated only schematically, and which preferably runs along the hose line 58, or runs at least in sections along the hose line 58, with which in 4 controller 11 of the system 10, not shown, is connected.
- the interface 62 can be designed, for example, as a plug, or screw, or clamp connection, and in any case enables data transmission via the connecting line 56.
- the reading/writing device 54a is preferably arranged on such a section of the suction lance 36 which usually does not protrude into the medium.
- FIG. 5 Evidence of the embodiment of figure 5 is shown in a schematic representation of an embodiment of a container according to the invention.
- the container 24a has a vessel wall 60 which provides an interior space in which the medium 27a is located.
- a lid 59 closes the container 24a.
- the lid can be removed or partially opened, or at Need to be pierced by a suction lance 36.
- the cover can be formed from a thin film, for example, or have a predetermined passage point for the suction lance.
- the information or preferably the plurality of information is preferably written into the RFID tag 33a in the course of filling the container 24a with the medium 27a.
- the controller can calculate a maintenance interval and display this to the operator.
