Description

Detecting operating parameters of a treatment room of a

household appliance

The invention relates to a method for detecting operating parameters of a treatment chamber of a household appliance, wherein a self-sufficient sensor is arranged on the household appliance, during an operating sequence of the household appliance by means of the autarkic sensor at least one operating parameter of the treatment room is measured and generated by the sensor Measurement data are sent wirelessly. The invention also relates to a system that is set up to carry out the method. The invention further relates to a method for creating a menu sequence. The invention is particularly advantageously applicable to methods for detecting operating parameters of a cooking chamber of a cooking appliance.

A domestic appliance is known in which at least one sensor and a communication module are integrated and which is set up to transmit data of the household appliance, including measurement data generated by the at least one integrated sensor, to a device-external instance via the communication module. The data transmitted to the external device can be used to link an operation of the household appliance with the operation of other such household appliances, for example to enable a user to propose a coordinated operation of several household appliances. However, many household appliances today still have no communication module, so that their connection to other household appliances is not possible.

It is the object of the present invention to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art, at least in part, and in particular to provide a possibility to also tune operation of household appliances not equipped with communication modules to operation with other domestic appliances.

This object is achieved according to the features of the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims, the description and the drawings. The object is achieved by a method for detecting operating parameters or operating parameter values of a treatment chamber of a domestic appliance, in which

an autonomous sensor is arranged on the household appliance,

during a mode of operation of the household appliance, at least one operating parameter of the treatment room is measured by means of the self-sufficient sensor, and measurement data generated by the autonomous sensor are sent wirelessly to an appliance-external entity,

- transmit the measured data via the external device to an external database and store it there as reference data, and

- In addition to the operating sequence associated operating settings sent to the database and stored there linked to the measurement data.

This method has the advantage that a course or temporal behavior of the at least one operating parameter of the treatment room in the database can be stored as a reference for the following operating processes under the same operating settings and can also be called up or used for operational planning with other loads, if the Domestic appliance itself can not communicate with the database and thus can not provide even real-time data of the operating parameters to a device external instance. In turn, an operational plan for future operations may include high accuracy home appliances that are designed as non-networkable devices due to their age or equipment.

Thus, the method does not serve treating treated material, but for receiving a reference measurement. The method may thus also be referred to as a method for acquiring reference operating parameters, and the operating sequence may be referred to as a reference operating procedure. In particular, the method does not serve for the regulation of operating parameters during an operating procedure and can thus also be regarded or referred to as a regulation-free method.

The fact that the database is an external database means that the database is not integrated into the household appliance or the sensor. Such a database may be, for example, in a user terminal (eg a smartphone, a tablet PC, a laptop, a desktop, a so-called "wearable" such as a SmartWatch etc.), on a network server (eg a server of the manufacturer of the household appliance) and / or in a computer network such as the so-called "cloud". The database can be integrated into the device-external instance to which the sensor transmits its measurement data. Thus, the device external instance may be a smartphone that has the database. In an additional or alternative development, the device-external database is present in a further device-external instance (for example, a network server of the manufacturer of the household appliance), the measurement data then being received by the device-external entity which receives the measurement data transmitted by the sensor. be forwarded to the database.

A self-sufficient sensor is understood to be a sensor which is operable independently of the household appliance and can be removed from the household appliance. In particular, this sensor is used only for measuring reference measurement data and not for measuring operating parameters during treatment of a material to be treated. Such a sensor has in particular at least one sensor element for measuring the at least one operating parameter and a communication unit as well as an energy supply for supplying the sensor with electrical energy. The power supply may comprise a battery or a rechargeable battery. The sensor can also have at least one data processing device for processing the sensor signals generated by the at least one sensor element. The data processing device can transmit the sensor signals, e.g. Digitize, format and / or edit content.

It is a development that the at least one operating parameter has at least one parameter from the group:

- temperature,

- Humidity,

- chemical concentration

includes.

The sensor is a wirelessly communicating sensor, ie, its communication unit is designed or set up for wireless communication. The communication unit can be a radio-based communication unit which, for example, transmits data according to the Bluetooth standard, the WLAN standard, etc. The communication unit may transmit measurement data and, if appropriate, other data (for example via an operating system). condition of the sensor) and may optionally also be adapted to receive data (for example, control commands).

It is a development that the sensor has a cable as an antenna. This results in the advantage that, when the sensor is arranged in a treatment chamber of the domestic appliance, the cable can be guided outwards through a door gap between a door closing the treatment chamber and a housing of the household appliance. This in turn improves a data transmission from the sensor to a device-external instance receiving the measurement data of the sensor.

It is a development that the sensor has at least one operating element. This simplifies the implementation of the method for a user. It is a development that the operating element is set up to record and send measured data by actuating the operating element. This can also be described as activation of the sensor. The sensor may be configured to terminate acquisition and transmission of the measurement data (which may also be referred to as deactivating the sensor) when a predetermined amount of time has been reached or exceeded, when a critical operating condition of the sensor has been reached, or in the near future is achieved and / or when the actuator is activated again when the sensor is activated. It is also a further development that the operating element is set up to switch the sensor on by actuation or switch it off, without measuring values being transmitted by switching on. The transmission of the measured values can be initiated remotely, in particular in this case, for example, at the direction of a user terminal equipped with an application for carrying out the method. In particular for this case, a communication unit of the sensor can be set up both for transmitting and for receiving data. Also, the termination of the recording and generation of measurement data can be done remotely. The sensor can thus be designed in a variant generally as a remotely controllable sensor.

It is a further development that the sensor has a display device (for example a small lamp) which lights up in the activated state of the sensor. The sensor can also have a display device which indicates a critical operating state of the sensor. The display device for displaying the critical operating state can correspond to the display device for displaying the activated state. For example, the display device in the switched-on, non-critical operating state permanently lit, flashing with reaching a critical operating state.

It is a further development that the sensor is set up to transmit the measured data to the device-external instance by means of a point-to-point (P2P) connection or by integration into a home network. This can be implemented in such a way that the sensor is logically connected to a corresponding device or remote station before it is activated or used. For example, the sensor may be coupled via a so-called "pairing" to a user terminal such as a smartphone or a network access point (such as a router, e.g., a wireless router) and then automatically sends its measurement data to the user terminal or network access point. The user terminal or the network access point can then be used to forward the measurement data to the user database. If the database is integrated in the user terminal, the measurement data can be stored by the user terminal directly in the user database. The sensor can thus be configured in a development as a network-capable sensor. For this purpose, the sensor can be assigned a network address in a further development.

The operational settings stored for the reference operation may be entered by a user, for example via an application program e.g. a user terminal, by means of which the user can perform the method. The operating settings stored in the database are also reference settings. By linking the operating settings with the measured data, these can be stored and read in a simple manner as a data record in the database.

In one possible sequence of the method, a user opens an application program ("app") provided for the course of the procedure at his user terminal and switches on a remotely controllable self-sufficient sensor. In the following, a data connection between the sensor and the user terminal is automatically established, since the sensor and the user terminal have previously performed a pairing procedure (for example when the sensor is first set up). Subsequently, the user arranges the sensor on the treatment room and turns on the household appliance with desired operating settings. The user also enters these operating settings via the application program on the user terminal. The order is whether the user is first the operating settings on the user terminal are on and then only makes the operating settings on the household appliance, or vice versa, irrelevant. Subsequently, the user activates the reference measurement procedure via the application program, whereupon the user device instructs the sensor to dissipate operating parameters via its at least one sensor unit and to wirelessly transmit corresponding measurement data to the user terminal. The measured data, linked to the entered operating settings, are transmitted by the user terminal to the database, where they are stored. The measured data stored in the database can be used below as reference data for operation of the household appliance with the operating settings set by the user. The measuring procedure can be ended automatically after a given period of time or via the application program by a user interaction. It is particularly advantageous if the measurement data of a measurement procedure transmitted to the user terminal are initially stored completely in the user terminal and then only transferred to the database together with the operational settings. A user can perform the procedure for several different operations (for example, by varying the selected operating settings).

It is an embodiment that the operating settings comprise manually set operating settings such as an operating mode, a setpoint temperature, a target state of the treatment product, etc.

It is an embodiment that the operating settings include some sort of cooking program (e.g., steaming vegetables, frying fish or meat, etc., especially with automatically varied operating parameters). Thus, the advantage is achieved that a program function of household appliances can also be included in an operational plan.

It is also possible that the operating settings include a combination of a selected type of operating program with manually set operating settings. It is an embodiment that the method is performed with empty treatment room. This allows loading of independent measurement data as a reference in the database.

It is an embodiment that a treatment chamber of the household appliance is or will be charged before the start of the operation with reference material to be treated. This provides the further advantage that measurement data of a more realistic operating procedure can be recorded and fed into a planning process. Such reference treatment type can be given to a user or given individually by a user. The reference type of treatment may be, for example, water of a certain volume. It is a further development that then additionally the material to be treated (for example characterized by its type, its weight, etc.) linked to the measured values can be stored in the database.

It is an embodiment that the sensor is arranged in the treatment room of the household appliance. This allows a particularly accurate measurement of operating parameters within the treatment room. In addition, particularly inexpensive sensor elements such as thermocouples etc. can be used.

It is a case that a treatment room of the household appliance is or has been charged with reference material to be treated before starting the operation, and that the sensor is placed in the treatment room of the household appliance, further design that the sensor has a ("reference"") Recording or a filling container for the reference material to be treated. This has the advantage that a change in temperature of the reference material to be treated can be sensed particularly precisely, so that particularly realistic measurement data can be recorded and included in a planning process. In addition, advantageously direct measurements of the content of the recording can always be made with the same wall thicknesses and the same volume, etc., which increases the reproducibility of the measurements. The receptacle is therefore intended in particular for filling with a predetermined amount of liquid, for example water. A sensor element, for example a temperature sensor element, may be present on or in the receptacle. The sensor may have at least one further sensor element for sensing a property of an atmosphere of the treatment space, eg a temperature sensor element or a moisture sensor element. Such a sensor also solves the task independently.

It is an embodiment that the sensor is arranged outside the treatment chamber of the household appliance. This advantageously makes it possible to minimize or even completely avoid a stress on the sensor due to conditions prevailing in the treatment space, such as a high temperature and / or moisture or mechanical stresses. Such a sensor may, in particular, have a non-contact sensing element such as an IR sensor. The IR sensor can be designed, for example, as a thermopile, etc. In one type of application, the sensor can be fastened to a door opening the treatment room, in particular to a viewing window of the door, if present. The attachment may e.g. be implemented by at least one suction cup, hooks, etc.

It is an embodiment that the household appliance is a food treatment device and in the process

- The sensor is placed on a food treatment room of the food processing device and

at least temperature measurement data from the sensor are emitted during operation of the food processing device and at least (a) a food treatment mode associated with the operation and at least one set treatment parameter and / or (b) a set meal treatment program (possibly with at least one associated desired treatment parameter) are stored in the database.

Thus, when treating foods, it is advantageously possible to record typical operating settings as a reference and retrieve them later. Nominal treatment parameters may include, for example, a period of time (timer time), a setpoint temperature, a nominal heating output, such as a microwave power, a heating stage, etc.

It is a development that the food processing device has at least one of the fol lowing functionalities:

- an oven functionality,

a steam treatment functionality, a microwave functionality.

The food handling device may also be a fryer.

It is an embodiment that

the food treating appliance has an oven (for example, if the food treating appliance is a stove or a stand-alone oven), the food-handling room is a cooking space of the oven, and the food-handling mode is an oven mode, and in which

- An associated with the operation food handling mode in the form of an oven mode and an at least set Sollgarparameter be stored in the form of at least one set temperature and / or a set cooking program in the database.

The oven mode may include typical oven modes such as a subheat mode, a top heat mode, a combined bottom and top heat mode, a hot air mode, a grill mode, a recirculation mode, etc., if desired Additional functionalities such as a steam cooking mode, a microwave mode, etc. include.

It is a further development that moisture measurement data and / or concentration measurement data of predefined chemical substances detected by the sensor during an operating sequence of the food treatment device are transferred from the sensor to the database. The chemicals may be substances during a baking process or other food treatment process, the occurrence of which characterizes a particular condition of a food. Such substances may, for example, be substances released or exiting from a food during boiling and / or browning. A sensor unit integrated into the sensor for detecting the chemical substances can then be, for example, a tanning sensor.

However, the method is not limited to food treatment devices, but can also be used for other household appliances, for example for laundry care appliances, refrigerators, dishwashers, etc. io

It is an embodiment that, based on the measured data measured by the sensor, further sensor data belonging to the operating sequence are extrapolated. This provides the advantage that the time taken by the sensor to record the measurement data can be shortened. Also, there is the advantage that the sensor only needs to be used in operating parameter areas which preclude damage to the sensor in the treatment room. In addition, energy can advantageously be saved in this way. The extrapolated sensor data describe a further course of the measured operating parameters at least approximately. For example, upon reaching a predetermined critical threshold value of at least one operating parameter (for example, a critical temperature threshold value), the sensor outputs an indication to a user that the measurement procedure should now be ended and the household appliance should be switched off. Alternatively or additionally, the sensor can be remotely instructed upon reaching the threshold to terminate the measurement process and / or turn off. The extrapolation can be carried out in particular by means of a device-external instance, for example by means of a comparison with characteristic curves and / or by a formulaic calculation. The device-external instance can be a user terminal equipped with an application program for carrying out the method. The extrapolated sensor data are stored together with the measured sensor data in the database.

The method described above can also be carried out using a plurality of, in particular different, self-sufficient sensors, which are arranged on the same treatment space. In this case, the measured data of all these sensors are advantageously stored together in the database. The operating settings only need to be entered once by a user for the measurement data of the multiple sensors.

The object is also achieved by a system comprising at least one self-sufficient sensor and a database for carrying out the method as described above. The system may be analogous to the method and provides the same advantages.

It is an embodiment that the system further has a user interface that can be coupled to the database in terms of data technology and that is set up to To record inputs of a user for feeding a menu sequence and of food handling devices to be used for preparing the respective food with desired operating settings,

to check whether, in the database filled according to the method described above, measurement data are available for at least one food processing device with the desired operating settings,

if so, based on the associated measurement data, instructions for the operation of the at least one food processing device together with other instructions relating to the menu sequence can be provided to a user in chronological sequence.

This can also be called "Guided Cooking". The user interface can be, for example, a user terminal equipped with a corresponding application for carrying out the method.

In one possible application example, an operation of the plurality of household appliances can be timed to one another in such a way that a user can create a desired and predetermined menu or sequence of dishes by him particularly easily and in a short time. The measurement data (such as a temperature profile and / or a moisture profile in the food treatment room for a desired operating procedure) determined by a food treatment method by means of the self-sufficient sensor can be used, for example, automatically to estimate a probable period of time for food treatment. This estimated period of time can be integrated into a work instruction for the user to create the menu. If the food processing device is, for example, an oven, the time taken for the completion of a food to be cooked can be estimated with high accuracy by the measured temperature profile. Knowing this period of time, a user can be given an indication as to when he should have finished other foods of the selected menu in order to be able to serve a particular course of the menu with freshly prepared foods.

The object is further achieved by a method for creating a menu sequence in which Inputs of a user for feeding a menu sequence and of food preparation devices to be used for the preparation of the respective food are recorded with desired operating settings,

- check whether, in the database filled according to the method described above, measurement data are available on at least one food processing device with the desired operating settings,

if so, based on the associated measurement data, instructions for the operation of the at least one food processing device together with other instructions relating to the menu sequence are provided to a user in chronological sequence.

The method can be configured analogously to the method and / or system described above and has the same advantages.

The method can generally be used for any combination of household appliances, for example for operational planning taking into account cooking appliances, refrigerators and / or dishwashers.

The above-described characteristics, features and advantages of this invention, as well as the manner in which they are achieved, will become clearer and more clearly understood in connection with the following schematic description of an embodiment which will be described in more detail in conjunction with the drawings.

Fig. 1 shows a system with a self-sufficient sensor and a database;

FIG. 2 shows a possible start of a method for detecting operating parameters of a treatment room of a domestic appliance;

3 shows a possible start of a method for creating a menu sequence.

1 shows a system with a self-sufficient sensor 1 and a database 2. The sensor 1 has

a sensor element in the form of a temperature sensor 3 for measuring a temperature, a communication unit 4 (eg a Bluetooth or a WLAN module) for the wireless transmission of data with a device-external instance G,

a data processing device 5 connected or coupled to the temperature sensor 3 and the communication unit 4 for processing sensor signals of the temperature sensor 3 into measurement data and for transmitting the measurement data to the communication unit 4 and for receiving control commands by the communication unit 4 and controlling the sensor 1 based on received control commands,

- A power supply in the form of a battery 6 or similar for supplying the sensor 1 with electrical energy and

- A button 7 for switching on and off of the sensor 1.

on.

The sensor 1 can be inserted here by way of example in a cooking chamber R of a baking oven B. The data transmitted and received by the sensor 1 through the communication unit 4 can thereby penetrate a viewing window of a door (not shown). The door is thus transparent to the frequency band used for data transmission.

The device-external instance G may be a user terminal such as a smartphone, a tablet PC, a laptop, a desktop, a wearable, etc. In particular, a switched-on sensor 1 can automatically link with the device-external instance G in terms of data technology, for example, when a so-called "parking" process with the user terminal has been carried out when the sensor 1 is put into operation for the first time. Data sent out by the sensor 1 are thus received by the device-external instance G and can be stored there, buffered and / or forwarded to a further device-external instance G2. The further device-external instance G2 can be, for example, a network server or the so-called "cloud". The device-external instance G can be equipped or provided with an application program A, which is set up to carry out the method described above.

The database 2 can be present in the device-external instance G and / or-as shown-in the further device-external instance G2. The connection of the device-external instance G with the further device-external instance G2 can also be established or provided by means of the application program A. 2 shows a possible sequence of a method for detecting a cooking chamber temperature of the cooking chamber R of the oven B. It is assumed that the sensor 1 and the device external instance G have previously gone through a "pairing" process, the automatic data technology coupling of the sensor 1 with the device external instance G with activated sensor 1 allowed.

To carry out the method, a user can switch on the sensor 1 in a first step S1 by actuating the button 7. As a result, the sensor 1 is automatically coupled to the device-external instance G, in particular if the application program A is opened or activated there for carrying out the method.

In a second step S2, the user enters via the application program A operating settings of the oven B, for example, a baking oven mode such as a hot air mode, etc. and a target cooking space temperature.

In a third step S3, the user inserts the sensor 1 in the cooking chamber R. The cooking chamber R is in particular - except for the sensor 1 - empty.

In a fourth step S 4, the user adjusts the operating settings at the oven B, which he has also entered into the application program A.

The steps S1 to S4 may be performed in any order.

When the oven B is switched on, in a fifth step S5 the user starts a measuring process on the application program A, for example by actuating a start field. When the start field is actuated, the device external instance G sends a control command to the sensor 1, which is received via the communication module 4 and instructs the data processing device 5 to receive sensor signals via the temperature sensor 3, to convert them into measurement data, and to convert these measurement data via the communication method - to send 4 dul. The transmitted measurement data are received by the device external instance G and buffered there. The measured data show a progression of the oven temperature for the selected operating settings. In a sixth step S6, the measuring process is ended, for example on the basis of reaching a predetermined time duration, on the basis of reaching a predetermined temperature threshold value and / or on termination by the user via the application program A.

At the end of the measuring process, in a seventh step S7, the measured data, together with the entered operating settings, are transferred from the device-external instance G to the database 2 and stored there linked.

3 shows a possible sequence of a method for creating a menu sequence.

In a step S8, a user uses a user interface (e.g., a user terminal, not shown) by opening a program to create a menu sequence and inputs a desired menu order indicating food to be prepared and household appliances to be used therefor.

In a step S9, the user enters in the context of this program that he wants to operate the oven B with operating settings for which measured data are stored in the database 2.

In a step S10 it is checked whether in the database 2 filled according to the above method measurement data are present for at least one food processing device (B) with the desired operating settings,

If so, in a step S1 1 the measurement data stored in the database 2 are retrieved by the program based on the associated measurement data and used to estimate a time duration of a cooking process under these operating settings.

In a step S12, this period of time is used by the program to give the user instructions or instructions for the oven B (for example, times for loading the oven with food and / or for removing the food from the oven), which the operation of the oven B tunes to other actions or instructions for the preparation of the menu sequence. Of course, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment.
