Embodiment Construction

[0041] In the example, figure 1 The domestic appliance 1 shown in is a laundry dryer. The domestic appliance 1 comprises a washing drum 2 in which laundry 3 is accommodated. The laundry 3 is dried in the domestic appliance 1 . The washing drum 2 can, for example, be mounted horizontally in the domestic appliance 1 , ie it can rotate about a horizontal axis of rotation. The washing drum 2 can be electrically coupled with the safety lead PE.

[0042] The washing 3 has an ohmic resistance which is at figure 1 is schematically symbolized by element 4 . That is, the laundry resistance 4 is not a component of the circuit, but a resistance of the laundry 3 . Wet laundry 3 has a small electrical resistance 4 and there is a relationship that the drier the laundry 3 is, the greater the electrical resistance 4 of the laundry is. The laundry resistance 4 is inversely proportional to the conductivity value of the laundry 3 .

[0043] It is now of interest to determine the laundry re...

Abstract

The invention relates to a household appliance 1 for drying laundry items 3, wherein the momentary level of dryness of the laundry items 3 is to be particularly reliably determined. A measuring device 5 is provided in the household appliance 1 for determining a measurement variable 4, Uw, correlated to the level of dryness of the laundry items 3. The measuring device 5 comprises two measurement electrodes 6, 7 spaced apart from each other and a circuit configuration 8 coupled to the measurement electrodes 6, 7, bringing about a current flow I through the measurement electrodes 6, 7, capturing an electrical laundry voltage drop Uw between the measurement electrodes 6, 7, and deriving the measurement variable 4, Uw, as a function thereof. A direction of the current flow I through the measurement electrodes 6, 7 is changed repeatedly. Galvanic effects at the measurement electrodes 6, 7 are thus prevented.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a household appliance for drying laundry. The domestic appliance comprises a measuring device for determining a measured variable which is relevant to the dryness of the laundry. The measuring device comprises two measuring electrodes arranged at a distance from one another, which are arranged in the domestic appliance in such a way that the measuring electrodes contact the laundry to be dried during operation of the domestic appliance. The measuring device also includes a circuit arrangement coupled to the measuring electrodes. The circuit arrangement can induce a current flow through the measuring electrodes, sense the laundry voltage falling between the measuring electrodes and derive a measured variable from the detected laundry voltage. The invention also relates to a method for determining a measured variable related to the dryness of laundry in a domestic appliance by means of a measuring device in which the laundry is d...
