- Patent Abstracts of Japan JP 2004065408 A Such a method is known from Patent Abstracts of Japan JP 2004065408 A. This is detected by means of a sensor impermissible movement of the drum or the container during the rest period between the start and the execution of the wash program. A similar process is disclosed in Patent Abstracts of Japan JP 10179978A. With the aid of a motion sensor or acceleration sensor on the top of the tub, a detected movement is detected as a child located in the drum. However, it is necessary for the child in the drum to move.
- the invention is therefore an object of the invention to improve the safety and protection of a child located in the drum.
- the achievable with the invention advantage is that with a very reliable detection of a child in the drum of a washing machine ensures a high level of security and a possible risk is avoided.
- Another advantage of the invention is that the provision of the method is very simple and inexpensive, since existing sensors and / or detection devices for the laundry weight or imbalances can be used.
- the method is advantageously characterized by the fact that a child resting or sleeping in the drum is awakened and animated to move. This is done in a simple manner in that after starting the washing program or after pressing a start button in a first phase, water, in particular cold water, is admitted into the tub and thus into the drum.
- a child asleep or resting in the drum is thus awakened or frightened by the sunken water, so that it will move due to the unpleasant wet feeling. Since in this first phase the drum is not yet moved by the drive, a determined movement leads to the termination of the preset washing program.
- movements of the drum in particular cyclical weighing movements, can be provided during the first phase of the washing program in order reliably to induce a child in the drum to move, whereby a risk of injury is precluded.
- the amount and temperature of the introduced water is limited so that a child in the drum can not drown or otherwise be endangered.
- the amount of water corresponds to only a subset of the intended for a wash washing liquid.
- the duration for this first phase of the washing program is such that at the beginning of the first phase for example 30 sec. the water is admitted and then for a preset time, for example 60 sec. is waiting until the second phase, which is the actual Washing program includes, begins.
- a preset time for example 60 sec. is waiting until the second phase, which is the actual Washing program includes, begins.
- the entire first phase for example 90 sec. a possible movement of the washing unit or the drum is detected, wherein upon detection of a movement caused by a child, the second phase is not started.
- the first phase is terminated or stopped immediately after detection, whereby the first phase shortened to shorten the time in which a child is in the drum or tub.
- unnecessary anxiety of a child should be avoided if possible.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Waschmaschine mit einem Gehäuse, einem in dem Gehäuse schwingbeweglich angeordneten Waschaggregat, welches eine drehbewegliche Trommel zur Aufnahme von Wäsche und/oder Waschflüssigkeit enthält, sowie einer Auswerteeinheit und einem Sensor zur Erfassung einer Bewegung des Waschaggregats, wobei nach einer durch die Auswerteeinheit erkannten unzulässigen Bewegung während einer ersten Phase des Waschprogramms die Fortsetzung des Waschprogramms verhindert wird, wobei während der ersten Phase des Waschprogramms die Trommel in einer Ruheposition steht oder zyklisch pendelartig bewegt wird.The invention relates to a method for operating a washing machine with a housing, a housing arranged to vibrate movable washing unit, which includes a rotatable drum for receiving laundry and / or washing liquid, and an evaluation unit and a sensor for detecting a movement of the washing unit, wherein a detected by the evaluation unit impermissible movement during a first phase of the washing program, the continuation of the washing program is prevented, wherein during the first phase of the washing program, the drum is in a rest position or is cyclically oscillated.
Ein derartiges Verfahren ist aus der Schrift Patent Abstracts of Japan JP 2004065408 A bekannt. Hierbei wird mit Hilfe eines Sensors eine unzulässige Bewegung der Trommel oder des Behälters während der Ruhezeit zwischen dem Starten und der Ausführung des Waschprogramms erfasst. Ein ähnliches Verfahren ist in Patent Abstracts of Japan JP 10179978 A offenbart. Mit Hilfe eines Bewegungssensors oder Beschleunigungssensors auf der Oberseite des Laugenbehälters wird eine erfasste Bewegung als ein in der Trommel befindliches Kind erkannt. Hierbei ist es jedoch erforderlich, dass sich das in der Trommel befindliche Kind bewegt.Such a method is known from Patent Abstracts of Japan JP 2004065408 A. This is detected by means of a sensor impermissible movement of the drum or the container during the rest period between the start and the execution of the wash program. A similar process is disclosed in Patent Abstracts of Japan JP 10179978A. With the aid of a motion sensor or acceleration sensor on the top of the tub, a detected movement is detected as a child located in the drum. However, it is necessary for the child in the drum to move.
Ein weiteres Verfahren ist aus der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift DE 42 25 769 A1 bekannt. Hierbei wird das in der Trommel befindliche Gewicht mit Hilfe eines Gewichtssensors vor dem Programmstart erfasst, wobei bei einer Überschreitung eines oberen Grenzwertes das Waschprogramm nicht gestartet bzw. eine Alarmmeldung ausgegeben wird. Dieses Verfahren ist jedoch nur für Waschmaschinen bis maximal 4,5 oder 5 Kg Trockenwäsche geeignet. Bei größeren Waschmaschinen für beispielsweise 8 Kg Trockenwäsche kann mit diesem Verfahren jedoch nicht mehr unterschieden werden, ob sich zulässiges Wäschegewicht oder ein Kind in der Trommel befindet, da das Gewicht eines Kindes im Bereich des zulässigen Trockengewichts bzw. Nassgewichts der Wäsche liegt.Another method is known from German patent application DE 42 25 769 A1. In this case, the weight in the drum is detected by means of a weight sensor before the program start, wherein when exceeding an upper limit, the washing program is not started or an alarm message is issued. However, this procedure is only suitable for washing machines up to a maximum of 4.5 or 5 kg dry laundry. For larger washing machines, for example, 8 kg of dry laundry, however, can no longer be distinguished with this method, whether permissible weight of laundry or a child is in the drum, since the weight of a child is in the range of dry weight or wet weight of the laundry.
Der Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Sicherheit und den Schutz für ein in der Trommel befindliches Kind zu verbessern.The invention is therefore an object of the invention to improve the safety and protection of a child located in the drum.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem durch ein Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Waschmaschine mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.According to the invention, this problem is solved by a method for operating a washing machine having the features of patent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and modifications of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.
Der mit der Erfindung erreichbarer Vorteil besteht darin, dass mit einer sehr zuverlässigen Erkennung eines Kindes in der Trommel einer Waschmaschine eine hohe Sicherheit gewährleistet und eine mögliche Gefahr vermieden wird. Ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung ist, dass die Bereitstellung des Verfahrens sehr einfach und kostengünstig ist, da bereits vorhandene Sensoren und/oder Erfassungseinrichtungen für das Wäschegewicht oder Unwuchten verwendet werden können. Das Verfahren zeichnet sich in vorteilhafter Weise dadurch aus, dass auch ein in der Trommel ruhendes oder schlafendes Kind geweckt und zu einer Bewegung animiert wird. Dies geschieht auf einfache Weise dadurch, dass nach dem Starten des Waschprogramms bzw. nach Betätigen einer Starttaste in einer ersten Phase Wasser, insbesondere kaltes Wasser, in den Laugenbehälter und somit in die Trommel eingelassen wird. Ein in der Trommel schlafendes oder ruhendes Kind wird somit durch das eingelassene Wasser geweckt bzw. derart erschreckt, dass es sich aufgrund des unangenehmen nassen Gefühls bewegen wird. Da in dieser ersten Phase die Trommel noch nicht durch den Antrieb bewegt wird, führt eine ermittelte Bewegung zum Beenden des voreingestellten Waschprogramms. In einer zweckmäßigen Ausgestaltung können während der ersten Phase des Waschprogramms auch Bewegungen der Trommel, insbesondere zyklische Wiegebewegungen, vorgesehen werden, um ein in der Trommel befindliches Kind zuverlässig zu einer Bewegung zu verleiten, wobei eine Verletzungsgefahr ausgeschlossen ist.The achievable with the invention advantage is that with a very reliable detection of a child in the drum of a washing machine ensures a high level of security and a possible risk is avoided. Another advantage of the invention is that the provision of the method is very simple and inexpensive, since existing sensors and / or detection devices for the laundry weight or imbalances can be used. The method is advantageously characterized by the fact that a child resting or sleeping in the drum is awakened and animated to move. This is done in a simple manner in that after starting the washing program or after pressing a start button in a first phase, water, in particular cold water, is admitted into the tub and thus into the drum. A child asleep or resting in the drum is thus awakened or frightened by the sunken water, so that it will move due to the unpleasant wet feeling. Since in this first phase the drum is not yet moved by the drive, a determined movement leads to the termination of the preset washing program. In an expedient embodiment, movements of the drum, in particular cyclical weighing movements, can be provided during the first phase of the washing program in order reliably to induce a child in the drum to move, whereby a risk of injury is precluded.
Nach dem Erkennen eines Kindes aufgrund einer Bewegung der Trommel in einer Ruhephase sind als Maßnahmen optische oder akustische Alarmmeldungen oder ein selbständiges Entriegeln oder Öffnen des Bullauges, denkbar.After detecting a child due to a movement of the drum in a resting phase as measures optical or audible alarms or autonomous unlocking or opening the porthole, conceivable.
Die Menge und die Temperatur des eingelassenen Wassers ist derart begrenzt, dass ein in der Trommel befindliches Kind nicht ertrinken kann oder anderweitig gefährdet wird. Hierfür ist es zweckmäßig, dass die Menge des Wassers nur einer Teilmenge der für einen Waschgang vorgesehener Waschflüssigkeit entspricht.The amount and temperature of the introduced water is limited so that a child in the drum can not drown or otherwise be endangered. For this purpose, it is expedient that the amount of water corresponds to only a subset of the intended for a wash washing liquid.
Es versteht sich von selbst, dass in dieser ersten Phase des Waschprogramms keine mit Waschmittel versetzte Lauge in den Laugenbehälter eingelassen wird. In einer vorteilhaften Ausführung wird während der ersten Phase dem eingelassenen Wasser kein Waschmittel zugesetzt. Hierfür wird das Wasser unter Umgehung des Waschmitteleinspülkastens bzw. unter Umgehung des Waschmittelfachs oder Waschmittelfächer im Waschmitteleinspülkasten eingelassen.It goes without saying that in this first phase of the washing program no lye mixed with detergent is introduced into the tub. In an advantageous embodiment, no detergent is added to the introduced water during the first phase. For this purpose, the water is admitted, bypassing the Waschmitteleinspülkastens or bypassing the detergent compartment or detergent compartments in Waschmitteleinspülkasten.
Die Dauer für diese erste Phase des Waschprogramms ist so bemessen, dass zu Beginn der ersten Phase für beispielsweise 30 sek. das Wasser eingelassen wird und danach für eine voreingestellte Zeit, beispielsweise 60 sek. gewartet wird, bis die zweite Phase, die das eigentliche Waschprogramm beinhaltet, beginnt. Während der gesamten ersten Phase, beispielsweise 90 sek. wird eine mögliche Bewegung des Waschaggregats bzw. der Trommel erfasst, wobei bei Erkennung einer durch ein Kind verursachten Bewegung die zweite Phase nicht gestartet wird.The duration for this first phase of the washing program is such that at the beginning of the first phase for example 30 sec. the water is admitted and then for a preset time, for example 60 sec. is waiting until the second phase, which is the actual Washing program includes, begins. During the entire first phase, for example 90 sec. a possible movement of the washing unit or the drum is detected, wherein upon detection of a movement caused by a child, the second phase is not started.
Es ist auch denkbar, dass in diesem Fall die erste Phase sofort nach der Erkennung beendet bzw. abgebrochen wird, wodurch sich die erste Phase verkürzt, um die Zeit, in der sich ein Kind in der Trommel oder Laugenbehälter befindet, zu verkürzen. Somit sollen unnötige Angstzustände eines Kindes möglichst vermieden werden.It is also conceivable that in this case the first phase is terminated or stopped immediately after detection, whereby the first phase shortened to shorten the time in which a child is in the drum or tub. Thus, unnecessary anxiety of a child should be avoided if possible.
Da sich die Bewegung des Waschaggregats bzw. der Trommel aufgrund des einfließenden Wassers deutlich von einer von einem Kind verursachter Bewegung unterscheidet, werden Fehlinterpretationen vermieden.Since the movement of the washing unit or the drum due to the inflowing water differs significantly from a movement caused by a child, misinterpretations are avoided.
In einer zweckmäßigen Ausgestaltung wird zur Erfassung der Bewegung ein Wegsensor verwendet, der in der Regel zwischen Waschaggregat und Gehäuse angeordnet ist. Die Erfassung kann auch durch andere Mittel bereitgestellt werden, wie beispielsweise Drehzahl-, Bewegungs-, Beschleunigungs-, Druck-, Kraft- oder Verwindungssensoren (Dehnungsmessstreifen).In an expedient embodiment, a displacement sensor is used to detect the movement, which is usually arranged between the washing unit and the housing. Detection can also be provided by other means, such as speed, motion, acceleration, compression, force, or torsion (strain gauge) sensors.
In zweckmäßiger Weise wird die Ermittlung bzw. Erkennung, ob sich ein Kind in unzulässiger und gefährlicher Weise in der Trommel befindet, von einer Auswerteeinheit durchgeführt.Conveniently, the determination or recognition of whether a child is in an inadmissible and dangerous manner in the drum, carried out by an evaluation unit.
Das Verfahren ist nicht auf die Erkennung eines Kindes in einer Trommel oder Laugenbehälter beschränkt, sondern ist ebenso zur Erkennung von Haustieren geeignet, beispielsweise Hunde, Katzen, Kaninchen u.s.w, die sich in unzulässiger Weise in der Trommel oder Laugenbehälter befinden.The method is not limited to the detection of a child in a drum or tub, but is also suitable for detecting pets, such as dogs, cats, rabbits u.s.w, which are located in the drum or tub in an inadmissible manner.

Wie in Fig. 1 schematisch dargestellt, ist das Waschaggregat bzw. der Laugenbehälter 2 über Federn 3 am Gehäuse 1 bzw. an nicht näher beschriebenen tragfähigen Teilen des Gehäuses 1 schwingbeweglich aufgehängt. Das Waschaggregat enthält im wesentlichen einen Laugenbehälter 2 mit einer in dem Laugenbehälter 2 drehbar angeordneten Trommel 16, die über eine Antriebseinheit, beispielsweise Motor mit Riemenantrieb angetrieben wird. Die Stoßdämpfer 4 dienen zur Vermeidung von Schwingungen bei Unwucht der drehenden Trommel 16. Über einen Wegsensor 6 werden neben der Erkennung einer Unwucht oder des Beladungszustandes auch Bewegungen des Waschaggregats bzw. der Trommel 16 erfasst. Über die Verbindungsleitung 7 erhält die Auswerteeinheit 5 alle vom Wegsensor 6 erfassten Werte. Ein Waschmitteleinspülkasten 15 dient zur Aufnahme und zur vorbestimmten Abgabe der für ein Waschprogramm erforderlichen Menge Waschmittel. Eine Beladungsöffnung 17 wird nach dem Einfüllen der Wäsche und vor dem Starten eines ausgewählten Waschprogramms geschlossen.As shown schematically in Fig. 1, the washing unit or the
In Fig. 2 ist beispielhaft im Zeitverlauf das Waschprogramm schematisch dargestellt. Während der Ruhephase 8 ist die Waschmaschine ausgeschaltet bzw. der Benutzer hat noch kein Waschprogramm gestartet. Zum Zeitpunkt t=5 wird die Starttaste betätigt 9 und somit die erste Phase 10 des Waschprogramms aktiviert. Während dieser ersten Phase 10 sind Mittel, beispielsweise ein Wegsensor 6 und eine Auswerteeinheit 5, zur Erfassung einer Bewegung des Waschaggregats oder der Waschtrommel 16 aktiviert. Zusätzlich wird zu Beginn 9 der ersten Phase Wasser, insbesondere kaltes Wasser, in den Laugenbehälter 2 bzw. in die Trommel 16 eingelassen. Diese Dauer des Wassereinlaufs und die Wassermenge ist dabei so bemessen, dass ein in der Trommel 16 befindliches Kind zuverlässig nass und dadurch geweckt bzw. beunruhigt und somit zu einer Bewegung animiert wird, andererseits keine Gefahr durch Ertrinken, Unterkühlen für das Kind besteht. Wird in der ersten Phase 10 keine unzulässige Bewegung des Waschaggregats bzw. des Laugenbehälters 2 ermittelt, schließt sich nach dem Beenden der ersten Phase 10 zum Zeitpunkt t=8 die zweite Phase 12 an, die das eigentliche vom Benutzer ausgewählte Waschprogramm umfasst. Die zweite Phase 12 mit dem Waschprogramm, welches durch Wasch- Spül- und Schleuderzyklen starke Trommelbewegungen beinhaltet, läuft bis zu seinem vorgesehenen Ende 13 vollständig ab.In FIG. 2, the washing program is shown schematically by way of example over time. During the resting
In Fig. 3 ist beispielhaft im Zeitverlauf der Programmabbruch 14 dargestellt. Hierbei wurde während der ersten Phase 10 eine Bewegung des Waschaggregats 2 ermittelt, was zu einem vorzeitigen Programmabbruch 14 zum Zeitpunkt t=8 führt. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, dass zum Zeitpunkt t=7 unmittelbar nach dem Ermitteln einer unzulässigen Bewegung die erste Phase 10 vorzeitig abgebrochen 14a und somit beendet wird. Nach der Erkennung einer unzulässigen Bewegung und nach dem Programmabbruch 14, 14a kann die Ausgabe einer akustischen oder optischen Alarmmeldung 18 erfolgen, und/oder die Beladungsöffnung 17 selbständig entriegelt oder geöffnet werden.In Fig. 3 the program abort 14 is exemplified over time.
