  • a user - after having loaded the crockery in the tub 3 of the machine 1 - selects a desired treatment program and causes the start thereof, for example by pushing a suitable button.

  • the number of pulses generated by the sensor in a unit of time is comprised on average in a range or determined range of values, which can be stored in the control system 17 (note that often the electrovalves for water loading used in the household electric appliances or the same impeller meter include a flow or pressure regulator, also having the function to make the water flow-rate stable; see for example EP 1456576 A).
  • the number of pulses in the time unit does not fall within the aforesaid range: think, for example, to a sensor 13 whose impeller - due to a damage of rotation pin or of the supports of the latter - rotates slowly and in a jerky way or on the contrary rotates too quickly, or to a fault of the detector of the rotation of the impeller.
  • the control system 17 keeps the loading valve 12 open until elapsing of a predetermined time interval , hereinafter referred to also as third time interval for simplicity, for example comprised between 40 and 80 seconds , preferably about 60 seconds.
  • the control system 17 controls the closing of the loading valve 12 and drives the motor of a treatment pump 4 to a first predetermined speed, preferably a speed lower than the normal washing speed.
  • a first predetermined speed preferably a speed lower than the normal washing speed.
  • the control system 17 monitors a signal characteristic of the operation of the motor of the pump 4 and evaluates this signal, by comparing it with a first threshold value. If the characteristic signal does not reach and/or does not exceed the first threshold value, the control system 17 controls a new opening of the valve 12 and then evaluates again the signal characteristic of the operation of the motor of the pump 4: when this characteristic signal reaches the first threshold value, the control system 17 control closing of the valve 12.
  • the aforesaid characteristic signal can be for example the amount of current absorbed by the motor of the pump 4, which is representative of its characteristic curve, and hence of its load. Of course, nothing prevents to monitor other controllable quantities of the motor, representative of the characteristic curve or of the load of the pump.
  • the motor of the pump 4 is a brushless motor, electronically controlled, i.e., a permanent magnet motor whose speed is controllable.
  • the control system 17 stops the treatment program (and so causes closing of the valve 12), after possible generation of at least one signalling for the user, through the device 15 and/or the device 16, and/or after generation of an error code, to be highlighted on occasion of a subsequent use of the machine.
  • One such circumstance may be considered indicative of the fact that the flow rate of water entering the machine 1 from the water supply mains is very low and implies excessively long times for the achievement of the volume of water required for execution of a treatment step.
  • the aforesaid further predetermined time interval can be for example comprised between 60 and 120 seconds, preferably between 40 and 80 seconds, and more preferably be of about 60 seconds.
  • the control system 17 drives the motor of the pump 4 to a second speed, preferably greater than the first speed, very preferably at the washing speed. Thereafter, the system 17 evaluates again the current absorption (or other characteristic signal) of the motor of the pump 4: if this signal reaches and/or exceeds a second threshold value, the system 17 controls prosecution of the treatment program in the usual way.
  • control system 17 controls a new opening of the valve 12, evaluates again the absorption (or other characteristic signal) and when this signal reaches the second threshold value - indicative of the achievement of at least a volume or level of water in the tub appropriate for the execution of the treatment - the control system 17 controls closuring of the valve 12 and controls continuation of the treatment program, in the usual way. It will be appreciated that, based on the experimental data stored in the control system 17, the latter is capable to know which value or range of values of current absorption that - at the washing speed of the motor of the pump 4 - corresponds to a water level in the tub which is deemed to be sufficient for the execution of an efficient treatment.
  • the control system 17 activates a signalling, by means of at least one of the visual signalling device 15 and the acoustic signalling device 16.
  • the visual signalling and the acoustic signalling are both activated. In this way, the user is immediately warned of a possible breakdown of the machine 1 due to a failure of its filling sensor 13 or to an anomalous condition of the water mains, such as the closing of a tap of the water fitting for connecting the machine or the absence of water in the mains.
  • the aforesaid first time interval has preferably a relatively short predetermined duration, indicatively not greater than one minute and preferably comprised between 10 and 30 seconds, more preferably of about 15 seconds.
  • the first load of water in a treatment program typically happens a few seconds after the start of the program itself: therefore, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, the warning concerning the anomalous condition occurs in any case after a relatively short time after the start of the program, when the user is presumably still nearby the machine 1.
  • control system 17 controls ending of the treatment program.
  • the second time interval has a predetermined duration which is greater than the first time interval, indicatively not greater than five minutes, preferably comprised between 200 and 250 seconds, most preferably about 220 seconds.
  • the control system 17 since having started the signalling of the anomaly, the control system 17 remains in a waiting condition for a given period, and continues to monitor the condition of the filling sensor 13 : if during this period - the aforesaid second time interval - there occurs the signal from the sensor 13, the treatment program can continue in the usual way; one such case may happen, for example, if the tap of the connection fitting of the machine 1, which was initially, closed, is opened by the user after the start of the visual and /or acoustic signalling.
  • the program is stopped by the control system 17, which sets itself in a state of quiescence.
  • stopping of the program involves the closing of the loading valve 12.
  • the stopping of the program also implies deactivation of the signalling means 15, 16: in a preferred embodiment, however, before stopping the program, the control system 17 generates an error code that is in any case visually and/or acoustically highlighted on occasion of a subsequent use of the machine.
  • the program is anyway stopped, if the absence of signal from the sensor 13 persists.
  • the absence of the signal from the sensor 13 may be possibly remedied during the second time interval.
  • this can be the case - already mentioned - of an initially closed tap of the fitting for connection to the water mains, or the case of a momentary jamming of the impeller of the sensor, due to any reasons.
  • the absence of signal that persists throughout the whole second time interval is instead indicative of circumstances such as a total absence of water in the water mains, or else of a failure of the sensor 13 so serious that emission of any signal is impeded, or still the accidental disconnection of the sensor 13 from a connector thereof.
  • the invention has been exemplified in relation to a water conducting household electric appliance using an impeller-type volumetric meter, but the invention is susceptible of use also in the case of other types of filling sensors, such as pneumatic-type sensors or optical-type sensors.
  • the filling sensor provided in accordance with the invention may be a sensor arranged on a supplying line that extends from one such internal reservoir internal of the household electric appliance to the treatment container thereof.
