  • the US 2016 330 572 A1 describes a wireless data transmission device between sensors that are attached to the driver in the drum of a tumble dryer.

  • the laundry items collide with the laundry carrier and in this way generate an acceleration pulse, which is detected by the acceleration sensor.
  • the degree of loading can then be determined from the type and level of such a sensor signal. A variation over several different speeds increases the accuracy of the measurement.
  • At least two electrodes are used as conductivity sensors, which are arranged on at least one laundry carrier so that the conductivity can be measured between them.
  • the two electrodes can also be used on different laundry carriers be arranged. If the measured conductivity between the electrodes is comparatively low, it can be concluded that there are no damp items of laundry between them.
  • the loading of the drum with damp laundry items can be determined based on corresponding sensor signals.
  • the counter electrode of the conductivity sensor is arranged on the same laundry carrier or a different laundry carrier.
  • a drum shell of the drum is used as the counter electrode of the conductivity sensor.
  • a clothes dryer is particularly preferred in which the control device is set up to determine laundry moisture and/or load of laundry items on the basis of the sensor signals measured by the conductivity sensor and/or air humidity sensor.
  • the control device is set up to determine laundry moisture and/or load of laundry items on the basis of the sensor signals measured by the conductivity sensor and/or air humidity sensor.
  • the drum will be filled differently. This influences the laundry load when the drum rotates, and the speed of rotation of the drum also influences the laundry load. If the drum rotates at a constant speed, the amount of laundry produced depends on the amount of laundry items and the moisture content of the laundry. When the drum rotates, areas of the drum casing and the laundry carriers come into contact with the laundry items at different times.
  • the sensor signals of the acceleration sensor are evaluated so that the sensor signals measured by the conductivity sensor and/or air humidity sensor are assigned to the position of the laundry carrier can be.
  • one of the measuring axes of the acceleration sensor is arranged parallel to the rotation axis of the drum, so that from the two values Acceleration in the other two directions can be inferred from the angular position of the drum and thus the position of the relevant laundry carrier.
  • the strength of these sensor signals at this position can be used to determine the load of laundry items and their moisture content.
  • the temporal periodicity of the measured sensor signals can also be used, particularly if the rotational speed of the drum is known.
  • At least two sensors of the sensor arrangement are based on the same measuring principle and are arranged along the laundry carrier. This further improves the accuracy of the determination of laundry moisture and load of laundry items that is possible with the invention.
  • Laundry carriers are generally arranged essentially parallel to an axis of rotation of the drum, so that the term “along the laundry carrier” is to be interpreted to mean that the arrangement is essentially parallel to the axis of rotation of the drum.
  • the sensors are at a distance from one another at least in the direction of the laundry carrier, this distance generally being determined based on projections of the locations of the sensors onto an imaginary axis that runs parallel to the axis of rotation of the drum.
  • Three sensors along the laundry carrier therefore define two distances, namely a first distance d 1 between a first sensor and a second sensor and a second distance d 2 between the second sensor and a third sensor.
  • the distances d 1 and d 2 can be the same or different. This applies accordingly to the case of four or more sensors for further distances d n (n>2).
  • the measuring principle is selected from the physical properties of temperature, humidity, pressure and/or conductivity, so that at least two sensors are each a temperature sensor, air humidity sensor, pressure sensor, conductivity sensor or any combination of these.
  • sensors there may be a pair of temperature sensors and a pair of humidity sensors.
  • the optionally used temperature sensor is a micromechanical temperature sensor which consists of an n-conducting silicon crystal which is manufactured using planar technology.
  • multiple sensors are used as sensors, which are based on several measuring principles at the same time.
  • Such space-saving dual or triple sensors are known per se.
  • the at least two sensors of the tumble dryer are preferably modular components with a size in the range of 2-4 x 2-4 x 0.5-1.5 mm 3 each.
  • the sensors are generally designed as micromechanical sensors. Since micromechanical sensors are particularly small elements, i.e. require little installation space, two or more sensors can be combined, creating a dual sensor or a triple sensor, for example. For this purpose, the sensor can in particular have a modular structure.
  • the small-scale design of micromechanical sensors also offers another decisive advantage. If micromechanical sensors are used, all sensors can carry out measurements at the same location. The sensor signals then all have a common local reference point. This allows parameters obtained from individual sensor signals to be correlated with one another particularly precisely.
  • the sensor arrangement comprising the at least one micromechanical sensor, the interface for wireless data communication and the Autonomous energy supply unit and, if necessary, the evaluation unit can be implemented in a particularly small installation space.
  • At least one sensor, for example a micromechanical sensor, of the sensor arrangement arranged in the laundry carrier is a pressure sensor with a membrane. Then, a pressure that the laundry items exert on the membrane when they come into contact with the laundry carrier can advantageously be transferred to the pressure element in the pressure sensor. This can also improve the determination of the load of laundry items on the drum. As the drum rotates, the items of laundry collide with the laundry carrier and in this way generate pressure on the laundry carrier, which can be detected by a pressure sensor. From the type and level of such a measurement signal, the degree of loading can then be determined in an alternative way.
  • At least one sensor is a pressure sensor, in particular a micromechanical pressure sensor, then in the event that the pressure sensor senses a sensor signal when the tumble dryer is switched off after items of laundry have been placed in the drum, the at least one sensor arrangement can transmit the evaluated sensor signal to the control device and initiate this to turn on the tumble dryer.
  • the present invention enables tracking of a drying program by evaluating sensor signals from sensors that are arranged in the direction of the laundry carrier or in the direction of the axis of rotation of the drum.
  • the process air flowing in a so-called process air duct enters the drum from behind after being heated by a heating device that is generally present in the tumble dryer.
  • the originally very warm and dry process air cools down and at the same time absorbs moisture from the laundry items being dried.
  • the laundry items are generally pushed forward toward an access door. The items of laundry closest to the incoming process air generally become the strongest dried.
  • At least three sensors are arranged along the at least one laundry carrier.
  • these sensors are based on the same measuring principle in order to be able to track the change in a property such as humidity in the direction of the axis of rotation or the laundry carrier as accurately as possible.
  • the sensors discussed herein are generally located on the surface of at least one laundry carrier. However, it can be provided to also arrange one or more sensors inside the laundry carrier(s), for example a temperature sensor to monitor the proper functioning of electronic components.
  • sensors arranged in the laundry carriers in the drum can optionally be arranged in the process air duct, for example at the drum inlet and/or at the drum outlet.
  • the sensors can be based on different measuring principles, e.g. temperature, humidity, pressure, although dual and triple sensors can also be used. These sensors, which are arranged outside the drum, can also contribute to better monitoring of a drying program.
  • a tumble dryer is also preferred in which the control device is set up to control the loading of the laundry on the basis of the sensor signals measured by the sensors and/or the local gradients of the sensor signals in the direction of the laundry carrier Drum with laundry items and/or to determine the degree of drying of the laundry items.
  • the control device is set up to control the loading of the laundry on the basis of the sensor signals measured by the sensors and/or the local gradients of the sensor signals in the direction of the laundry carrier Drum with laundry items and/or to determine the degree of drying of the laundry items.

  • the drum With the preferential entry of the process air on a rear wall of the drum, the laundry items are pushed towards a dryer door. Depending on the amount of laundry in the drum, only a front area of the drum can be filled at this drum entry.
  • the laundry items are dried more quickly at the drum inlet than at the drum outlet.
  • the invention makes it possible to detect this load- and moisture-dependent degree of filling and the moisture of the laundry items, i.e. their degree of dryness, as a function of the drum depth, i.e. as a function of a point along the laundry carrier.
  • the drying status of the laundry and the load quantity can be determined even more precisely and a drying program can therefore be designed more precisely.
  • the control device is set up to take into account the strength of the air flow entering the drum in order to determine the load of the drum with laundry items and/or the degree of drying of the laundry items.
