Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for operating a household appliance, in particular a fully integrated household appliance, for example in the embodiment of a dishwasher, in which by means of a knock sensor a user-side acoustic knock signal input detected and the detected signal is evaluated by an evaluation.
  • Domestic appliances in the context of the invention are in particular dishwashers, washing machines and dryers.
  • Such household appliances can be designed as so-called fully integrated household appliances, d. H. they are front equipped with a decorative plate and / or the like to adapt to a furniture program.
  • fully integrated household appliances are generally designed without handles.
  • a door opening mechanism is provided, which may be designed, for example, electrically operated.
  • knock sensor To initiate such a door opening mechanism, it is known from the prior art to use a so-called knock sensor. This is used to detect user-side acoustic knock signal inputs, wherein the detected signal is evaluated by an evaluation and then a triggering of the door opening mechanism is effected.
  • domestic appliances of the type described above have proven themselves in everyday practice. By simply tapping, for example, against the front decorative panel of the household appliance, a user can operate the door opening mechanism, whereby an opening of the household appliance without conventional door handles or handles is possible in a simple manner.
  • the object of the invention is to further develop the previously known from the prior art method and to expand the range of applications.
  • the invention proposes a method for operating a household appliance, in particular a fully integrated household appliance in which by means of a knock sensor detects a user-side acoustic knock signal input and the detected signal is evaluated by an evaluation unit, wherein the evaluation unit on identification of a first predetermined Signal sequence a first action and upon identification of a second predetermined signal sequence, a second action is initiated.
  • the evaluation unit can distinguish between predefinable signal sequences and causes a corresponding action depending on the detected signal sequence.
  • Such an action may be, for example, the operation of the door opening mechanism.
  • the essential innovation according to the method according to the invention is that, in contrast to the prior art, not only an action by the evaluation unit is feasible. Rather, it is provided according to the invention that a plurality of different actions can be initiated by the evaluation unit, specifically as a function of the knock signal input detected by the knock sensor.
  • predefinable signal sequences are known which, when they are detected by the knock sensor, result in a specific, specifiable action by the evaluation unit.
  • the inventive method is insofar extended in its scope of application over the prior art in an advantageous manner, which allows the user additional control options and thus improved comfort in the convenience of the household appliance.
  • a possible first action that can be performed by the evaluation unit is, according to a feature of the invention, the activation of a signal output device for the purpose of signal output.
  • the triggering of the signal output device takes place as a first action in response to a detection of a first presettable signal sequence by the knock sensor.
  • the signal output device for example, information about the operating state of the household appliance is output.
  • information about the operating state of the household appliance is output.
  • a simple user-side acoustic knock signal input can be queried in this way the operating state of the household appliance, in the simplest case, for example, the expected operating time in the case of operation.
  • a signal output device for example, a speaker is used, by means of which an acoustic information is output.
  • a loudspeaker instead of a loudspeaker, of course, other signal output devices can also be used, also in combination with a loudspeaker.
  • Other signal output devices may be, for example, optical signal output devices, such as LEDs.
  • a second action is carried out, for example the activation of a door opening mechanism. If, therefore, a second predefinable signal sequence is detected on the part of the knock sensor, the evaluation unit does not control the signal output device. Rather, the door opening mechanism is actuated in response to the detection of the second predeterminable signal sequence.
  • the first predefinable signal sequence is generated by a simple knock and the second predefinable signal sequence by a double knock.
  • a simple knocking occurs on the user side, this leads to the exercise of a first action, for example to control a signal output device for the purpose of signal output.
  • a twofold knock occurs on the user side, this twofold knocking is detected by the knock sensor as the second predefinable signal sequence, with the result that a second action differentiable for the first action is performed by the evaluation unit, for example the control of the door opening mechanism for the purpose of opening the door.
  • the signal output device is used according to a further feature of the invention in particular to inform the user about the operating state of the household appliance. It can be provided for this purpose, for example, that the user is informed, which rinsing or drying program is currently performed by the household appliance, how long the remaining program duration is still to be expected and / or if there is a fault.
  • acoustically and / or visually perceptible signal output devices are possible as signal output devices, for example loudspeakers and / or illuminant devices.
  • a loudspeaker coded sound sequences can also be output, ie sound sequences which can be assigned to a corresponding content on the user side.
  • the invention further relates to a household appliance, in particular a fully integrated household appliance, with a knock sensor, an evaluation unit, a signal output device and a door opening mechanism, which is suitable and intended for carrying out the method described above.
  • FIG. 1 shows the method according to the invention in a schematic flow diagram.
  • FIG. 1 Detect a household appliance 1.
  • This household appliance 1 is, for example, an automatic dishwasher. This is designed in a conventional manner and provides a washing room for receiving dishes to be cleaned. The washing compartment is accessible via a feed opening, which is designed to be closable by means of a door. To open the door, a door opening mechanism 6 is provided, which may be driven by an electric motor, for example.
  • the household appliance 1 has a known from the prior art knock sensor 2.
  • the knock sensor 2 is the detection of a user-side acoustic knock signal input.
  • the knock sensor 2 is communicatively coupled to an evaluation unit 4, which is represented by the in FIG. 1 symbolized arrow 3 is symbolized.
  • the evaluation unit 4 is evaluated by the detected signal.
  • the household appliance 1 further has the already mentioned door opening mechanism 6 and a signal output device 8, for example in the embodiment of a loudspeaker. Both the door opening mechanism 6 and the signal output device 8 are in communication with the evaluation unit 4, which is in FIG. 1 is indicated graphically by the arrows 5 and 7.
  • the evaluation unit 4 When the first predeterminable signal sequence is identified by the evaluation unit 4, a first action is initiated by the latter, for example the signal output device 8 is triggered, in correspondence with the communication path according to arrow 7. If, on the other hand, the evaluation unit 4 identifies a second predeterminable signal sequence, then the action takes place a second action by the evaluation unit 4, for example, the control of the door opening mechanism 6 in accordance with the communication path according to arrow 5.
  • a user-side simple knocking can be provided. As soon as such a simple knocking is detected by the knock sensor 2 and evaluated by the evaluation unit 4, an evaluation of the signal output device 8 takes place on the part of the evaluation unit 4.
  • a second predetermined signal sequence may be given by a user-side double knock.
  • the user of the household appliance 1 can thus cause a signal output via the signal output device 8 or by a double knock opening of the household appliance 1 by activating the door opening mechanism 6 by a simple knock.
  • the signal output device 8 is, for example, a loudspeaker. This is at a control by the evaluation unit 4 corresponding acoustic
  • Signals out for example in the form of precoded sound sequences.
  • the signal output via the signal output device 8 is preferably carried out for the purpose of informing the user of the household appliance 1 about the operating state of the household appliance 1.
