Definitions
- the present invention refers to a container for washing aid according to the preamble of claim 1 and to an household appliance according to the preamble of claim 2
- Such treatments usually performed in the domestic environment by suitable household appliances, like washing machines, have to be individually adapted to the fabric articles to be treated in order to reach optimal results.
- a wrong treatment set with the aid of the treatment programs, may damage the treated fabric articles or even making them no more usable.
- the optimal program for treating a fabric article depends in particular from several characteristics of the article itself, like the type of fabric or the color.
- the user In the Bosch-Siemens system the user must put the articles inside one at a time trough the opening in order to allow the machine to read the information.
- the machine cannot know what washing aid, in particular detergent, is used by the user.
- the main aim of the invention is that of avoiding or reducing to minimum the above cited practical disadvantages, so allowing the user not to worry about the problems related to the domestic treatment of fabric articles.
- Figure 1 shows a front view of a domestic washing machine according to the invention.
- Figure 2 shows the upper part of the washing machine according to fig. 1.
- FIG 3 shows four clothes to be treated and an electronic device with an antenna, which is part of the tags attached to some articles to be washed.
- Figure 4 shows a non-metallic container with the articles to be treated.
- Figure 5 shows the washing machine of fig. 1 with the container of fig. 4 placed on the top.
- Figure 6 shows the washing machine of fig. 1 with an improved box of a washing aid, in particular detergent, placed on the top.
- Figure 7 shows the washing machine of fig. 1 with the container of fig. 4 placed on the top, wherein the improved box of a washing aid, in particular detergent, has been added to the articles to be washed.
- a washing aid in particular detergent
- FIG 1 there is shown the front view of a domestic washing machine according to the invention.
- the reference number 1 indicates a washing machine according to the invention.
- the reference number 2 indicates the non-metallic upper part, or top, of the casing of said washing machine 1.
- the reference number 3 indicates the control panel and the display of said washing machine 1.
- the reference number 5 indicates an antenna located inside the top 2.
- the reference number 4 indicates the active region of said antenna 5.
- FIG 2 there is shown the top 2 of the washing machine 1.
- the reference number 6 indicates an electronic controller connected to the antenna 5.
- FIG 3 there is shown a tag 7, containing an electronic device (transponder) constituted by a microchip 8 and a receiving and transmitting antenna.
- the reference number 9 indicates, as an example, two articles without tag to be treated.
- the reference number 10 indicates, as an example, two articles with tag to be treated.
- FIG 4 there is shown a non-metallic container 11, empty on the left, and with the articles to be treated 9 and 10 inside, on the right.
- FIG 5 there is shown the washing machine 1 on the top of which it is placed the container 11 with the articles to be treated. As it can be seen the articles to be treated are inside the active region 4 of the electronic device which is inside the washing machine.
- washing machine 1 on the top of which it is placed a container 12 (box) of washing aid, in particular detergent for washing machines, that, in an innovative manner, is also provided with a transponder.
- a container 12 box of washing aid, in particular detergent for washing machines, that, in an innovative manner, is also provided with a transponder.
- FIG 7 there is shown the washing machine 1, on the top of which it is placed the container 11, containing the articles to be treated, to which the improved box 12 of washing aid, in particular detergent, has been added, since it is also provided with a transponder.
- the container 11 containing the articles to be treated, to which the improved box 12 of washing aid, in particular detergent, has been added, since it is also provided with a transponder.
- the transponder contained in the tag 7 is an electronic device, consisting of a microchip 8 with an antenna 5; the microchip contains a memory; the transponder has no supply, but it is activated by a signal received by the antenna 5, and is then able to transmit the information stored in its memory.
- the antenna 5, lying inside the top of the washing machine cabinet, is connected to an electronic controller 6, and, since the top of the washing machine is non-metallic, the active field of the antenna 5 extends to a determined region indicated with 4, also outside the top 2.
- the articles 9, 10 to be treated are located, together with the detergent 12 to be used, into a container 11, made of non-metallic material (like e.g.
- the relative transponders are activated by the signal coming from the antenna 5 contained inside the top of the washing machine.
- the transponders of the articles to be treated and of the box of washing aid, in particular a detergent send to the antenna 5 the relative stored information: for instance the type of fabric, the weight or type of the article (e.g. shirt or table-cloth), the maximal treatment temperature, the required washing aid, the number of treatments the article has already undergone, propensity of the article to lose its color or raveling, etc.
- the controller of the washing machine is therefore able to select the optimal treatment program. If the controller detects incompatibility between different articles (e.g. wool together with white cotton), or between articles and washing aid, in particular detergent, contained in the box provided with a transponder, it provides for signaling it to the user by means of a suitable display device located on the control panel 3. It signals also the resulting weight of the articles 9, 10 to be treated.
- the controller may also be connected to a sensor which measures the resistivity of the washing liquid, and, among other things, it measures also the hardness of the water drawn at the moment of the washing, in order to better dosing the washing aid, in particular detergent.
- the electronic controller 6 is also able to write in the microchip memory, for instance increasing of one unit the number of the treatments undergone by the articles, each time that said articles are put inside the container 11. This incremental number will give information about the wear of the article and will be considered, from time to time, in order to select the more convenient treatment program.
- the information about the propensity of the articles to lose their color or raveling is valuable for a good operation of the machine; e.g. in the case of raveling, for the evaluation of the probability that the filter of the washing or drying machine gets obstructed after a determined number of treatments of the articles.
- the user put firstly in the container 11 only the articles provided with transponder, and afterward, on the basis of the communication made by the washing machine, about the weight and the type (consistent with the characteristics of the articles provided with a transponder) of the articles which can be still added, the user adds correspondingly other articles without transponder.
- the washing machine performs anyway the check of the absorption capacity of the articles inside the drum (see for more details the already cited documents EP 0 649 932A1 and EP 0 787 848 A1), from which the controller can determine with a good approximation the weight and the type of the fabrics which are washed.
- the controller finds a weight substantially different and/or incompatibilities that it could not determine before, as for instance the presence of silk articles, which have reduced absorption capacity, together with articles with high absorption capacity (like e.g. sponge-towels), or vice versa, it provides for signaling the fact to the user, and/or for modifying in any case the washing program for taking into account the new information.
- the washing program adjusts itself in respect of the one initially selected, and changes the washing phases as a consequence of the actual situation found in the basin. This is possible on the basis of the performed measures concerning the washing liquid resistivity and the water quantities loaded in the initial phase of the treatment of the articles to be washed.
- the system according to the invention can help the user avoiding possible mistakes and taking also the presence of articles without transponder into account.
