Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine automatisch gesteuerte Waschmaschine mit einem Laugenumwälzsystem, bei dem am Boden eines Wäschebehandlungsraumes mittels einer Pumpe Lauge abgeführt und über eine Rohrleitung oberhalb der im Behandlungsraum befindlichen Wäsche diesem wieder zugeführt wird, welche Waschmaschine femer an eine Frischwasserzuleitung angeschlossen ist, die durch ein Ventil geöffnet oder geschlossen werden kann, das durch eine zur Feststellung eines in der Förderrichtung der Pumpe vorhandenen Volumenstromes geeignete Sensoreinrichtung steuerbar ist. Eine solche Waschmaschine ist durch die DE-A-43 32 225 bekannt. Bei dieser Waschmaschine ist zum ständigen Durchfluten der in der Waschtrommel befindlichen Wäsche mittels Wasch- oder Spüllauge am Boden des Laugenbehälters ein Laugenumwälzsystem angeschlossen. Dieses besteht aus einer Rohrleitung, in deren Zuge eine Laugenpumpe und eine Sensoreinrichtung angeordnet sind. Durch die Sensoreinrichtung wird das Vorhandensein einer Strömung in der Rohrleitung erfaßt. Die Sensoreinrichtung gibt in Abhängigkeit vom Vorhandensein oder Nichtvorhandensein einer Strömung in der Rohrleitung ein entsprechendes Signal an das im Zuge der Frischwasserzuleitung angeordnete Ventil ab, wodurch entweder die Frischwasserzufuhr eingeleitet oder gesperrt wird. Auf diese Weise wird die Waschmaschine stets nur mit der unbedingt notwendigen Wassermenge versorgt.The invention relates to an automatically controlled washing machine with a lye circulation system, at the bottom of a laundry treatment room by means of a Pump liquor discharged and via a pipe above that in the treatment room laundry is fed back to this, which washing machine further on a fresh water supply line is connected, which is opened by a valve or can be concluded by a to determine one in the conveying direction suitable pump device is controllable the existing volume flow. Such a washing machine is known from DE-A-43 32 225. With this washing machine is for constant flooding of the laundry in the washing drum a lye circulation system at the bottom of the tub using washing or rinsing water connected. This consists of a pipeline, in the course of which a drain pump and a sensor device are arranged. Through the sensor device the presence of a flow in the pipeline is detected. The sensor device gives depending on the presence or absence of a flow in the Pipeline a corresponding signal to the arranged in the course of the fresh water supply Valve off, whereby either the fresh water supply is initiated or blocked becomes. In this way, the washing machine is always only with the absolutely necessary Amount of water supplied.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Waschmaschine der eingangs beschriebenen Art so weiterzubilden, daß die Steuerung der Frischwasserzufuhr möglichst mit bereits ohnehin schon an der Waschmaschine vorhandenen Sensorelementen erfolgen kann.The invention has for its object a washing machine of the type described Art in such a way that the control of the fresh water supply as possible sensor elements already present on the washing machine already take place anyway can.
Die Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe gelingt nach der Erfindung dadurch, daß im Zuge der Rohrleitung ein durch den in der Rohrleitung herrschenden Volumenstrom betätigbarer Körper angeordnet ist, der in Abhängigkeit von dem Vorhandensein oder dem Nichtvorhandensein des Volumenstromes in die Meßstrecke eines Trübungssensors ragt bzw. diese freigibt, durch welchen Trübungssensor das Ventil in seine Öffnungs- oder Schließstellung gesteuert ist. Somit braucht in der Rohrleitung nur ein einfaches mechanisches Teil eingebaut zu werden, wohingegen für die aufwendigere sensorische Erfassung der für die Trübungsmessung des Spülwassers sowieso vorhandene Trübungssensor herangezogen wird.The object is achieved according to the invention in that in the course of Pipeline can be actuated by the volume flow prevailing in the pipeline Body is arranged, depending on the presence or absence of the volume flow protrudes into the measuring section of a turbidity sensor or this releases through which turbidity sensor the valve in its opening or Closed position is controlled. Thus, only a simple mechanical one is required in the pipeline Part to be installed, whereas for the more complex sensory detection the turbidity sensor, which is available anyway for the turbidity measurement of the rinsing water is used.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Körper als Schwebekörper ausgebildet und in einem senkrecht verlaufenden Bereich der Rohrleitung angeordnet Bei einer solchen Anordnung nimmt der Schwebkörper aufgrund der Schwerkraft seine Ruhelage selbsttätig ein. Es bedarf somit keiner gesonderten Mittel für eine Rückführung des Schwebekörpers in seine Ruhestellung.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the body is a floating body formed and arranged in a vertical region of the pipeline With such an arrangement, the float takes its due to gravity Rest position automatically. There is therefore no need for separate funds for repatriation of the float in its rest position.
Dadurch, daß der Schwebekörper nach Art eines mit einem Stößel versehenen Ventiltellers ausgebildet ist, wobei der Stößel in der Ruhelage des Schwebekörpers in die Meßstrecke des Trübungssensors ragt und der Ventilteller an einem Ventilsitz anliegt, wird in der Ruhelage des Schwebekörpers die Rohrleitung vollständig abgesperrt. Damit führt das Auftreten auch eines sehr kleinen Volumenstromes bereits zu einem Verstellen des Schwebekörpers. Es ergibt sich hierdurch eine sehr höhe Empfindlichkeit der Einrichtung.The fact that the float in the manner of a valve plate provided with a plunger is formed, the plunger in the rest position of the float in the Measuring section of the turbidity sensor protrudes and the valve plate lies against a valve seat, the pipeline is completely shut off when the float is at rest. In order to the occurrence of even a very small volume flow leads to an adjustment of the float. This results in a very high sensitivity of the device.
Ein gesonderter Ventilsitz in der Rohrleitung läßt sich dadurch vermeiden, daß der Umfangsrand des Ventiltellers einen konisch ansteigenden Verlauf aufweist und die Rohrleitung zumindest im Bereich der Ruhelage des Schwebekörpers in gleicher Weise konisch verlaufend ausgebildet ist.A separate valve seat in the pipeline can be avoided by the peripheral edge of the valve plate has a conically increasing course and the pipeline at least in the area of the rest position of the float in the same way conical is progressive.
Zweckmäßigerweise ist in der Rohrleitung ferner ein den Verstellweg des Schwebekörpers begrenzender Anschlag vorgesehen, dessen Lage so gewählt ist, daß beim Anliegen des Schwebekörpers an dem Anschlag der Stößel die Meßstrecke des Trübungssensors vollständig freigibt.The adjustment path of the float is also expedient in the pipeline limiting stop is provided, the position of which is selected so that when in contact of the float on the stop of the plunger the measuring section of the turbidity sensor fully releases.

- the formation of a sensor device using a turbidity sensor.
Im Laugenbehälter 1 der Waschmaschine ist eine Waschtrommel 2 drehbar gelagert.
Darin liegen Wäschestücke 3, die durch Mitnehmer 4 beim Drehen der Trommel 2 angehoben
werden und wieder herabfallen. Dadurch findet ein ständiges Umschichten der
Wäschestücke statt, wodurch diese stets in neuen Richtungen von Wasch- oder Spüllauge
durchflutet werden. Die Wasch- oder Spüllauge wird über eine Frischwasserzuleitung
5 und einen Waschmittelbehälter 6 in den Laugenbehälter 1 eingeführt. Zum
Steuern der Frischwasserzufuhr dient ein Ventil 7 in der Frischwasserzuleitung 5. Das
Ventil 7 wird zu diesem Zweck von einer Steuereinrichtung 8 der Waschmaschine
gesteuert.A
Zum ständigen Durchfluten der Wäsche mit Wasch- oder Spüllauge ist am Boden des
Laugenbehälters 1 ein Laugenumwälzsystem angeschlossen. Dieses besteht aus einer
Rohrleitung 9, in deren Zug eine Laugenpumpe 10, eine Heizeinrichtung 11 und eine
Sensoreinrichtung 12 angeordnet sind.For constant flooding of the laundry with washing or rinsing water is at the bottom of the
Suds container 1 connected to a suds recirculation system. This consists of a
Gemäß der in Fig. 2 gezeigten Ausführungsvarianten weist die Sensoreinrichtung 12 einen
in der Rohrleitung 9 angeordneten Schwebekörper 13 auf. Der Schwebekörper 13
ist nach Art eines mit einem Stößel 14 versehenen Ventiltellers 15 ausgeführt. Der Umfangsrand
16 des Ventiltellers 15 ist konisch ansteigend ausgebildet. Die Rohrleitung 9
ist zumindest in dem der Ruhelage des Schwebekörpers 13 entsprechenden Bereich in
der gleichen Weise konisch ansteigend ausgebildet. Damit kann sich der Ventilteller 15
in der Ruhelage, d.h. bei Nichtvorhandensein eines Volumenstromes, in der Rohrleitung
9 mit seinem Umfangsrand 16 satt an der Innenwand der Rohrleitung 9 anlegen.According to the embodiment variants shown in FIG. 2, the
Am Außenumfang der Rohrleitung 9 ist ein Trübungssensor 17 angebracht. Zumindest
in diesem Bereich besteht die Rohrleitung 9 aus lichtdurchlässigem Material, so daß ein
vom Sendeteil des Trübungssensors 17 ausgesandter Lichtstrahl 18, welcher die Meßstrecke
des Trübungssensors 17 darstellt, durch die Rohrleitung 9 hindurch zum Empfangsteil
des Trübungssensors 17 gelangen kann.A
Der Durchmesser des Ventiltellers 15 ist so auf den Innendurchmesser der Rohrleitung 9
abgestimmt, daß der Ventilteller 15 in Bezug auf die Lage der Meßstrecke des Trübungssensors
17 so an der Innenwand der Rohrleitung 9 zur Anlage kommt, daß sein
Stößel 14 noch in den Lichtstrahl 18 des Trübungssensors 17 ragt und diesen unterbricht.
Dadurch kann vom Trübungssensor 17 ein entsprechendes Steuersignal an die
Steuereinrichtung 8 abgegeben werden, durch das das Ventil 7 von der Steuereinrichtung
8 aufgesteuert wird. Damit wird solange Frischwasser zugführt, bis die Pumpe 10
Wasser in die Rohrleitung 9 pumpen kann.The diameter of the
Der in der Rohrleitung 9 einsetzenden Volumenstrom hebt den Ventilteller 15 und zieht
dadurch der Stößel 14 aus der Meßstrecke, d.h. aus dem Lichtstrahl 18. Nun trifft der
Lichtstrahl 18 auf den Empfangsteil des Trübungssensors 17 und löst ein Steuersignal
aus, durch das das Ventil 7 wieder gesperrt wird. Somit wird der Waschmaschine nur die
für einen Waschvorgang unbedingt notwendige Wassermenge zugeführt.The volume flow set in the
Der bei modernen Waschmaschinen ohnehin vorhandene Trübungssensor 17 wird also
außer zur Trübungsmessung während des Spülvorganges der Waschmaschine auch zur
Steuerung der Frischwasserzufuhr herangezogen. Somit kann ein gesondertes Sensorelement
für die Steuerung der Frischwasserzufuhr eingespart werden.The
