Abstract

A program-controlled washing machine or dishwasher incorporates a storage container for a liquid detergent or another cleaning agent and a motor-driven dispensing pump through which the detergent or other agent is supplied to the washing or rinsing water. The machine features a monitoring device which registers the consumption or the supply of the detergent. A display or signalling device is activated in the event of a failure in the detergent supply. ADVANTAGE - The operator of the machine is alerted if the automatic supply of detergent has failed.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine programmgesteuerte Wasch- oder Geschirrspülmaschine nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a program-controlled washing or Dishwasher according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Aus der DE-OS 34 47 303 ist eine programmgesteuerte Waschmaschine bekannt, die mit einem als Schublade ausgebildeten, im Blendenbereich der Maschine untergebrachten Waschmittel-Einspülkasten und mit einem an anderer Stelle der Maschine angeordneten Vorratsbehälter für flüssige Wasch- und Pflegemittel ausgerüstet ist. Über eine motorisch angetriebene Dosierpumpe werden die genannten Mittel dem Wasch- bzw. Spülwasser der Maschine automatisch zugeführt. Dem Vorratsbehälter ist eine Füllstandsüberwachung zugeordnet, über die sowohl dessen Leerzustand als auch dessen Vollzustand dem Benutzer der Waschmaschine im Blendenbereich der Maschine zur Anzeige gebracht wird.From DE-OS 34 47 303 is a program-controlled washing machine known, with a trained as a drawer, in the panel area detergent dispenser box with one on the machine liquid storage container arranged elsewhere on the machine Detergent and care products is equipped. About a motor driven dosing pump, the agents mentioned are the washing or Rinse water is automatically fed to the machine. The reservoir is a level monitoring assigned, via which both Empty state as well as its full state to the user of the washing machine is displayed in the aperture area of the machine.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe, durch geeignete Maßnahmen bzw. Mittel sicherzustellen, daß dem Benutzer einer Wasch- oder Geschirrspülmaschine der in Rede stehenden Art angezeigt wird, wenn in der automatischen Zuführung der flüssigen Wasch- und Pflegemittel eine Störung vorhanden ist und demgemäß keine Wasch- und Pflegemittelzuführung zum Wasch- oder Spülwasser der Maschine stattgefunden hat. The object of the invention is to take suitable measures or means ensure that the user of a washing machine or dishwasher of the type in question is displayed when in the automatic Addition of liquid detergents and care products has a problem is and accordingly no detergent and care agent supply to the detergent or The machine has rinsed.  

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, die Wasch­ und Spülmaschine der eingangs genannten Art mit einer den Verbrauch bzw. die Zuführung der Wasch- und Pflegemittel erfassenden Überwachungseinrichtung und einer Anzeige- bzw. Signaleinrichtung auzurüsten, die bei einem Ausfall der Wasch- und Pflegemittelzuführung aktiviert wird. Durch diese Maßnahmen wird dem Benutzer der Wasch- oder Geschirrspülmaschine angezeigt bzw. zur Kenntnis gebracht, wenn keine automatische dosierte Zuführung der Wasch- und Pflegemittel zum Wasch­ bzw. Spülwasser der Maschine erfolgt ist. Die Messung des Wasch- und Pflegemittelverbrauchs kann dabei qualitativ oder quantitativ in Relation zu einem vorgegebenen Wasch- und Pflegemittelverbrauch vorgenommen werden. Die zum Ansprechen der Anzeige- bzw. Signaleinrichtung erforderliche Steuergröße kann durch Messung des Motorstromes, Drehmomentes oder der Drehzahl des Dosierpumpen-Antriebsmotors ermittelt werden. Die Registrierung der Füllstandsabnahme bei einem programmgemäßen Dosiervorgang könnte auch durch einen dem Vorratsbehälter zugeordneten Füllstandssensor erfaßt werden, durch den bei einer Störung in der automatischen Wasch- und Spülmittel-Dosierung die Anzeige- bzw. Signaleinrichtung ausgelöst wird. Es wäre auch denkbar, die genannte Überwachungseinrichtung so auszulegen, daß bei einem nicht durchgeführten Dosiervorgang der Fortgang des Wasch- bzw. Spülprogrammes automatisch gestoppt wird.To achieve this object, the washing is proposed according to the invention and dishwasher of the type mentioned with a consumption or the supply of detergents and care products Monitoring device and a display or signal device in the event of a failure of the detergent and care agent supply is activated. Through these measures, the user of the washing or Dishwasher displayed or brought to know if none automatic dosing of detergents and care products to the wash or rinsing water from the machine. Measurement of washing and Care product consumption can be qualitative or quantitative Relation to a given consumption of detergents and care products be made. The to address the display or The control variable required can be determined by measuring the Motor current, torque or the speed of the Metering pump drive motor can be determined. Registration of the Level decrease during a scheduled dosing process could also detected by a level sensor assigned to the reservoir by which in the event of a fault in the automatic washing and Detergent dosage the display or signaling device is triggered. It would also be conceivable for the monitoring device mentioned above interpret that in a not performed dosing Progress of the washing or rinsing program is automatically stopped.
