Description

PRALNI STROJ S TIPALOMWASHING MACHINE WITH TYPE

[0001] Predlagani izum se nanaša na pralni stroj, zlasti pralni stroj, ki se ga polni s sprednje strani, obsegajoč ohišje s pralno kadjo in v njej vrtljivo razporejen pralni boben, filter pralne vode in vsaj eno tipalo, ki zaznava nivo vode v pralnem stroju in/ali stopnjo umazanosti pralne vode in/ali podobne pralne parametre.[0001] The present invention relates to a washing machine, in particular a washing machine which is charged from the front side, comprising a housing with a washbasin and a rotatably mounted washing drum, a washing water filter and at least one sensor that detects the water level in the wash machine and / or degree of soiling of washing water and / or similar washing parameters.

[0002] Tipalo v pralnem stroju je namenjeno zaznavanju vsaj ene fizikalne količine v pralnem stroju. Tekom pranja perila v pralnem stroju se pralna voda umaže in tipalo zazna stopnjo umazanosti pralne vode ter s tem posledično vpliva na programske parametre pranja. Znani pralni stroji obsegajo tipala, ki so nameščena bodisi na pralni kadi, grelniku ali ohišju filtra. Posledica omenjene razporeditve tipala je sorazmerno majhna natančnost zaznavanja tipala. Poleg tega je otežena tudi montaža tipala, kar ima za posledico cenovno neugoden izdelek.[0002] The washing machine sensor is designed to detect at least one physical amount in the washing machine. During laundry washing in the washing machine, the washing water is dirty and the sensor detects the level of soiling of the wash water, and consequently affects the program parameters of the washing. Known washing machines include sensors located either on a washer, a heater or a filter housing. The consequence of this sensor arrangement is the relatively low accuracy of the sensing of the sensor. In addition, it is difficult to mount the sensor, which results in a price-friendly product.
