Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for controlling a washing machine, a control unit for carrying out this method and a washing machine which contains this control unit.
  • washing machines with a controller for running a washing program are well known. Attempts are made to optimize the washing result by means of specific specifications.
  • washing machines with automatic dosing devices for detergents in powder or liquid form have been developed.
  • these washing machines need, in addition to the known pre-selections such as program selection (hot, easy-care or colored laundry) and temperature selection (30 ° C, 40 ° C, 60 ° C or 90 ° C), further parameters (specification of the degree of soiling of the laundry to be washed, such as light, medium or strong and hardness of the water) in order to be able to calculate the amount of detergent to be added.
  • Another proposal for simple operation of a washing machine with good use of the detergent is that the essential constituents of a detergent - as in a modular system - be metered individually into the laundry, the type and quantity of the respective components being based on the specifications set on the control panel of the machine, in particular on the choice of program.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a method for an individual control of a washing program which also works with conventional detergents, shows significantly improved washing results and can effectively prevent possible overdoses in a simple manner.
  • This object is achieved by a method for controlling a washing machine, at least part of the washing program being controlled as a function of information which is read from at least one external data carrier.
  • washing program is understood to mean a sequence of individual washing processes (prewash, main wash, rinsing, spinning, etc.) according to previously performed specifications by the user, such as a program, textile and / or temperature preselection.
  • external data carrier describes here and below an exchangeable information medium, the information of which is read via a suitable device can be used to influence the program control in a targeted manner
  • the essential information that can be read from a corresponding external data carrier depending on the detergent used is primarily detergent-dependent information, such as the reversals, heating processes and the dosage of the detergent to be added.
  • detergent-dependent reversals can be carried out for the first time in accordance with the method according to the invention. This means that information about which individual reversing should be selected at which point in the washing program sequence is to be fed to the program control via the external data carrier.
  • the data for a certain reversal can be determined depending on the temperature of the wash liquor. In this way, a gentler mechanical action on particularly delicate laundry can be ensured.
  • This method according to the invention makes it possible for the first time for a detergent manufacturer to add an external data carrier to his detergent and in this way, for example, influence the exposure times according to his ideas, which leads to a significantly improved washing effect.
  • the information received from the external data carrier is dependent on preset and / or measured parameters, in particular on a program, textile and / or temperature preselection, on the degree of soiling, on the water hardness determined and / or on the amount of water or laundry in the drum.
  • the temperature specification contains the temperatures 30 ° C, 40 ° C, 60 ° C and / or 90 ° C and the program selection information on the type of laundry to be washed, in particular information on whether the laundry to be washed is a cook - Easy-care or delicate laundry deals.
  • the information received from the external data carrier can, however, also depend on at least one washing machine-specific property.
  • the program sequence of the washing machine can be influenced for the first time by both the washing machine manufacturer and the detergent producer. This influencing takes place by simply feeding the respective external data carrier without the user having to set additional properties of the detergent or other parameters by hand.
  • the washing program can be controlled in a more targeted manner in accordance with the requirements of the detergent and the possibilities of the washing machine, which is shown in an improved washing result with a reduced amount of detergent in comparison with conventional washing machines of the prior art.
  • the first thing to think about is rinsing or spinning.
  • Detergent dosing represents a simple case of such a program influencing by washing machine manufacturers and detergent producers.
  • the detergent producer has to inform the program control at what time and how much detergent has to be added to the drum.
  • information about water hardness, the amount of water drawn and the amount of laundry are required.
  • the user communicates the specifications to the program control using suitable devices (e.g. switches on a control panel).
  • suitable devices e.g. switches on a control panel.
  • the additional information such as the amount of water and laundry in the washing machine, is determined in a manner known per se using suitable devices or measures.
  • the water hardness can either be determined by a sensor or preset by the installer when the machine is set up.
  • the respective amount of detergent to be added can be determined from the external data carrier. This determination can either be carried out using an algorithm stored on the data carrier, but it is equally possible to read this value using a correspondingly multidimensional table.
  • the washing machine manufacturer only has to ensure in the fixed part of the washing program that the amount of detergent read is metered into the drum at the requested time.
  • the program control requests, based on the measured temperature of the
  • Wash liquor information from the external data carrier about the upcoming heating process.
  • the final temperature to be reached and the duration of the heating process are returned.
  • Dwell times at a certain temperature can also be specified in this way; in this case the end temperature is equal to the measured start temperature. This option is particularly important for detergents containing enzymes.
  • the detergent manufacturer can determine the most suitable temperature profiles for a particular detergent during a washing program depending on the user-defined specifications (program, textiles and / or temperature selection).
  • the washing machine manufacturer only has to ensure that the specifications can be implemented in accordance with the information from the external data carrier. All machine-dependent parameters that influence this implementation, such as the size of the laundry drum, the fill level of the wash liquor and the output of the heating elements only need to be taken into account by him (and not by the detergent producer).
  • a sensible data sharing is also possible when influencing reversing in a targeted manner.
  • the detergent manufacturer specifies which reversal has to be carried out at which point in the washing program sequence, in addition depending on the measured temperature of the detergent solution, according to the set specifications (in particular the choice of textiles and / or program).
  • these specifications of the detergent producer should disregard all washing machine-dependent parameters. In the event of a pause between the clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation of a reversing, this can be done using a time specification that describes the contact time of the entire laundry with the wash liquor. The washing machine manufacturer must therefore ensure that the entire amount of laundry is in contact with the alkali for the prescribed time in accordance with the determined degree of filling comes, although the level of the wash liquor wets only part of the laundry at a standstill.
  • the detergent manufacturer determines on the external data carrier how often the wash liquor on the textile surface has to be replaced.
  • the detergent producer also expediently specifies the period within which this exchange must take place. In this way, it is up to him to influence the degree of mechanical impact on the laundry.
  • the washing machine manufacturer must take into account the washing machine-dependent parameters - such as the relationship between drum radius and drum depth, arrangement and size of the drum ribs - ensure that, depending on the amount of wash liquor and laundry, these requirements of the detergent producer, if necessary in the appropriate time, are implemented.
  • the data of the program steps described above should be independent of one another. This has the advantage that the washing program can be influenced more individually and thus the detergent can be metered more appropriately.
  • the program control calls up the entire part of the detergent-dependent washing program depending on the set specifications (program, textile and / or temperature selection and / or degree of soiling), i.e. Data about the pre. Main and / or after wash.
  • the information originating from the external data carrier represents a sequence of the detergent-dependent program steps described above in detail, such as reversing, heating processes and detergent dosing, which are synchronized over time.
  • detergent-independent program steps such as adding water or pumping out the wash liquor, must also be specified by the external data carrier in order to ensure that the corresponding part of the wash program runs completely. Subsequently, it is sufficient to follow the procedure that is fixed in the program control
  • This embodiment particularly illustrates the various possibilities of influencing the program control, starting from influencing individual program steps in a special area of a washing program to completely controlling an entire washing program by the external data carrier.
  • the washing machine can "adjust" to individual characteristics of an individual detergent; the times when a "universal” detergent has to adapt to different washing machines from various manufacturers are finally over.
  • the external data carrier is an electronically readable storage medium, in particular a chip card, a magnetic card or a CD.
  • the external data carrier can either be added to each package; However, there are also conceivable options for distributing the external data media to the customer at a central location (e.g. at the checkout) on request. It would also be possible to design this data carrier in such a way that the customers associated it with the corresponding detergent from the manufacturer. This means free advertising space for the detergent producers.
  • the present invention further relates to a control unit for carrying out the methods described above, this control unit having at least one suitable device by means of which the information stored on the external data carrier can be read.
  • suitable device also includes transponder systems that use a contactless system Allow reading of information. These systems are preferably used where malfunctions due to contamination are to be excluded.
  • the present invention also relates to a washing machine which contains one of the control units described above.
  • This washing machine can have at least one dosing device for detergents, the dosing being carried out on the basis of information stored on an external data carrier
  • the washing machine according to the invention can have three dosing devices for detergents, the dosing being carried out on the basis of information stored on three different external data carriers.
  • a suitable interface can be provided for each data carrier.
  • These three dosing devices allow the inclusion of a full detergent, a color detergent and a mild detergent.
