Problems solved by technology

Considering only the operation of said type of appliance, said multi-function converter can indeed have considerable advantages, however, its disadvantages are also obvious, and this is because it still requires a pressure switch, which is placed separately somewhere nearby. place and connected, and the pressure switch is used as a water pressure converter in said type of appliance

Embodiment Construction

[0012] The multifunctional converter MPT of the present invention is designed for appliances using water in the tank ( figure 1 ).

[0013] The multifunctional converter MPT has a temperature converter TT and a turbidity converter TurbT, both of which are fixed on a first side of an electrically insulating mounting bracket MS. This side of the mounting bracket MS is secured by using a seal s and a fixing mechanism ( figure 1 not shown in ) is pressed against the outer tank surface at the bottom of the tank t.

[0014] On a first portion of said first side of the mounting bracket MS a transparent housing TH is fixed in a waterproof manner. The transparent housing TH covers the temperature transducer TT, the turbidity transducer TurbT, and the wires W leading them along the mounting bracket MS.

[0015] The turbidity converter TurbT is implemented in a known manner by means of a light-emitting diode LED and a light detector LP, wherein the light detector LP is used to detect ...

Abstract

A multipurpose transducer for an appliance using water, like a washing machine, a dishwasher or a hot-water tank converts physical parameters like water temperature, cleanness and pressure in said appliance into electric signals. It is provided with a temperature transducer (TT), a turbidity transducer (TurbT) and a pressure transducer (PT), all of them being fixed on an electrically insulating mounting support (MS). The pressure transducer (PT) is made as an uncompensated strain gauge in a thick film technology. The temperature transducer (TT) made as a termistor is also manufactured in the thick film technology. The multipurpose transducer (MPT) of the invention requires less work steps to be manufactured, mounted and connected in the appliance of said type than earlier transducers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a multi-converter for appliances using water, such as washing machines, dishwashers or hot water tanks, in fact, in the application described, the multi-converter converts the physical Parameters such as water temperature, cleanliness, and pressure are converted into electrical signals. Background technique [0002] Converters are mounted in a known manner waterproof and separate from each other on the bottom or wall of the tank of a washing machine or dishwasher, said converters being intended to convert the physical parameters of the water in the tank into electrical parameters during the washing process. Signal. Typically, these parameters are temperature, turbidity and pressure. [0003] Typically, in such appliances, a simple thermostatic switch is used as the temperature switch, which detects that the temperature of the water in the appliance compartment exceeds a preset value during the wash, and the appliance control ...
