- FIG. 4 show s schematically a household appliance according to a fourth embodiment of the piesent invention
- the basic idea of the present invention is to realize a household appliance which under usual operating conditions, is equipped w ith functions of conventional type, l e having common standaid progiams how ever with the pecuhai featuie of being alreadyscannedt or prea ⁇ anged for the execution of additional oi sophisticated functions performances or operating programs
- said additional functions, performances or programs can be obtained through a data input to the household apparatus (for example by physical connection or through an infrared or radio-frequency system) from an electronic device being external and optional, capable of supplying the control system of the apparatus with the necessary 7 information for the purpose
- the control system of the household apparatus is at least partially electronic and compnses a microcontrollei. duly programmed and having memory means, within which information for the execution of the va ⁇ ous functions of the household appliance are codified (the fact that the control system of the household appliance is of the electronic type, should not be considered as a limit to the invention, since such a characte ⁇ stic is framed under the current natural evolution of control systems for household appliances, subject to an increasingly change from electromechanical to electronic technology)
- Such a control system can obviously be interfaced with the above mentioned external electronic device, whose purpose is to ensure an easiei management of the complex usage procedures of the apparatus for the user Therefore, the control system of the household appliance according to the invention has to be associated with a proper interfacing module, being cost-effective and simple to leahze which forms an optional accessory for the apparatus itself
- the control panel of the household apparatus according to the in ention has anywav a conventional appearance, and therefore comprises classic knobs, push-buttons.
- a first condition consists in splitting its possible functions (or piogiams) in basic or standard functions ( or programs) and additional functions (or progiams)
- Basic functions are the ones conventionally performed by a conventional middle- class household appliance
- a freezei reference can be made for example to a push-button and a rapid fieezmg pilot lamp, a tempeiatuie setting knob and an alarm pilot light (dangeious tempeiatuie )
- a typical program selectoi a tempeiature setting knob, a spin speed selector and pushbuttons foi various options (prewash.
- additional functions oi programs according to the invention may be as follows With lefeience to a baking ov en said additional functions may be leahzed by the possibility of dv namicalh changing the heating elements configuration dunng the cooking piocess. so determining a large number of new progr ams being diffeient from the basic ones which allow to obtain proper tempeiature profiles associated with specific recipes, or the possibility for the special instance of o eni> equrpped w ith mixed cooking sy stems (foi example mfiaied - macow aves). to best set the cooking contribution associated w ith each one of such sv stems and a ⁇ o ⁇ d the tiouble for the usei of planning determined operation sequences
- an additional function may be foi instance the opportunity of managing a file for the preserved food w rth advice foiecast to the user when a given food is approaching the expire date for its consumption.
- additional functions may include for instance the possibility of performing washing during scheduled time periods of low-cost energy, or the possibility of performing the washing during the scheduled times of lower energy consumption, thus planning the daily energy consumption and avoiding possible blackouts due to an overflow of the value of the maximum installed power for the household environment where the apparatus is in use.
- the control system of the apparatus is prearranged or preset to allow the use of all its programs or functions, I e both the conventional or standard ones and the additional ones as provided according to the invention.
- the instructions which allow the household apparatus to perform its conventional functions, through the controls normally provided in the appliance itself are duly codified in the permanent memory means associated with the microcontroller of the control system.
- a software or data is codified which allows the control system to manage the parameters associated with the additional functions - duly controlled by an external device
- Such parameters being related to the additronal functions, selected through the likely optional external device, can be stored from time to time, l e depending upon the selected additional function, within temporary memories (RAM or E " PROM) of the control system
- RAM random access memory
- PROM PROM
- the basrc v ersion of the household appliance according to the invention is capable of performing the conventionally known functions associated to it. but its cost is not penalized if compared to a conventional middle-class household appliance
- the electronic control system of the household appliance being based on a microcontroller, provides for the possibility of receiving from the outside, in a codified form proper values or data concerning the operating parameters (temperatuie timing, thermal gradient and active thermal-load configuration values, etc ). for exploiting all its additional potentialities, as indicated for instance m the previous examples of a baking oven a freezer, and washing- machine
- this pre-arrangement does not entail any significant additional costs, as it can be obtained by the simple choice of a micropiocessor which is capable of communicating outside
- any microprocessor with a standard asynchronous senal line (ELA - RS232) and adequate memoiy area also allowing a softw are management of the additional functions or programs would be suitable
- Microcontrolleis of this kind can be easilv found on the market at low cost (typically not over 2 or 3 OS Dollars)
- a proper module should be provided foi interfacing the control sy stem of the household applrance wrth the abov e external electronic device
- Such an interfacing module consrsts of a proper adapter of a limited complexity and cost whrch v an rn function of the natuie and complexity of the external electronic de ice How ev er it should be highlighted that also this adapter can be av ailable as an option
- an ideal electronic device for performing the above function is represented for instance by a Personal Computer.
