WASHING EQUIPMENT COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE ELECTRON TRAP FOR ELECTRONIZING WATER FOR WASHING OBJECTS, METHOD OF MONITORING AND CONTROLLING THE WASHING PROCESS IN A WASHING EQUIPMENT, MEMORY READ BY COMPUTER AND CORRESPONDING USESTechnical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of machines and equipment for washing objects, more specifically to a method for water electroenergization by electron trap for washing in washing equipment such as clothes washing machines, dishwashers and washing machines, of utensils in general.Introduction

[0002] The present invention relates to washing equipment for water electroenergization for washing objects and to a method for monitoring and controlling the washing process, wherein the equipment and method according to the invention perform the directed operation of at least one electron trap, modifying the physicochemical characteristics of the washing water entering a washing chamber of the washing equipment by means of sequestration of electrons (electroacidulation) or electron accumulation (or electroalkalinization) and concomitant reduction of the surface tension of the incoming wash water by controlling the electrical potential difference of the electron trap by means of a processor's output instructions generated in response to the input information received from one or more condition detectors of the objects to be washed, performing, in real time, the directed and controlled adaptation of the physical-chemical characteristics of the energized washing water to predetermined conditions for the objects to be washed, such as, but without limiting the invention, the conditions of dirt, turgidity, pH, presence of fat, softness, temperature, presence of solid bodies,weight, color, etc., reducing the amount of detergents, softeners and other products usually added to the washing water and, preferably, completely dispensing with the use of such chemicals. The present invention also relates to at least one computer-readable memory and the uses of electro-energized washing water in equipment for washing utensils in general.Fundamentals of the invention

[0003] Washing machines, also known as washer or laundry machine, are household appliances designed to wash clothes, sheets and other items made of fabric or non-woven material. A washer is a convenient tool that automates the process of washing clothes, saving time and effort compared to manual washing, essentially comprising a main housing within which the electronic and mechanical elements of the equipment are arranged.

[0004] The electronic elements comprise a central processing unit, which manages the various washing programs or cycles that can be selected from one or more control panels, depending on the type of clothing and the level of dirt. Some examples of cycles include quick wash, heavy wash, rinse, spin, dry, among others. Modern washing machines have digital controls or buttons that let you adjust settings such as water temperature, cycle length and spin speed. Some newer models have connectivity features that allow the user to control the washing machine through a smartphone app, as well as devices to automatically adjust wash, rinse and spin cycle times and times depending on conditions detected by smart sensors.

[0005] The electronic elements also include load sensors, scales, water level sensors, dirt level sensors, timers that, together, can automatically adjust the washing cycle and the amount of water required.

[0006] In addition, washers may also include electric motors, water heating systems, drying systems, valves, switches, microswitches, buttonpanels, water pumps, lights and other light signals, alarms, sound signals, fans, blowers, electrical resistances etc.

[0007] The mechanical elements include, among others, a washing drum, where the clothes are placed for washing, in which the drum rotates during the washing cycle to agitate the clothes and remove dirt, detergent dispensers that regularly have compartments for dispensers for detergent, fabric softener and bleach, as well as filters, belts, pulleys, doors, covers, etc.

[0008] A dishwasher is an appliance designed to automate the task of washing dishes, cutlery, pans, glasses and other kitchen utensils. It offers a convenient way to clean kitchen utensils efficiently and save time, essentially comprising a main housing within which the electronic and mechanical elements of the equipment are arranged.

[0009] Dishwashers basically comprise the same electronic elements as clothes washers, while mechanical elements comprise compartments, shelves and baskets where the utensils to be washed are arranged.

[0010] A dishwasher's cycles include a variety of wash cycles that vary in water temperature, time and intensity, as well as a drying cycle that uses hot air to dry utensils, reducing the need for manual drying by hand, example. Modern dishwashers have digital controls or buttons that allow you to select cycles, adjust the water temperature and, in some cases, program delayed starts, as well as devices to automatically adjust the cycles and wash and dry cycle times depending on the conditions detected by smart sensors.[Oil] Other similar equipment for washing objects generally has the same characteristics mentioned above, and may vary in size, power, types of objects to be washed and chemicals used for washing and / or drying.

[0012] The three types of equipment for washing have one essential characteristic in common, which is the use of detergents, softeners anddryers, which contribute to several environmental problems.

[0013] A first problem arising from the use of chemical products is water pollution. Detergents, fabric softeners and dryers often contain chemicals that can be harmful to aquatic ecosystems. When the water used to wash clothes, kitchen utensils and other objects is discharged into the sewage system, these chemical substances can end up polluting rivers, lakes and oceans, affecting aquatic life and damaging water quality.

[0014] Another problem is the excessive use of water, since excessive use of detergents, softeners and drying agents can result in the need to rinse the objects to be washed more often to remove chemical residues. This increases water consumption and, in areas with limited water resources, can be a significant problem.

[0015] Furthermore, most detergents, fabric softeners and dryers are sold in plastic packaging, which can contribute to plastic pollution, as they are often disposed of inappropriately and can end up polluting the environment.

[0016] Finally, it is worth mentioning that the manufacture and transport of detergents, softeners and drying agents consume natural resources and contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the production of these products often involves chemicals that are harmful to the environment.

[0017] It should be noted, however, that the state of the art does not provide for versatile and economical solutions that take advantage of the properties and advantages provided by electron traps as agents that allow the alteration of the physicochemical properties of fluids, such as, for example, alteration pH and surface tension, characteristics that, in combination and at the correct intensity and dosage, can adapt the washing water to the type and intensity of dirt in a versatile and economical way.

[0018] An electron trap according to the present invention, promotes theelectroenergization of fluids such as water for washing and / or rinsing in a controlled manner, being able to provide both acidulation and al kal in ization of the fluid in process, adapting to the type of application and to the objects to be washed, in addition to allowing the reduction of the surface tension of the fluid, in which the water for washing eliminates the use of surfactants, in addition to optimizing flow conditions and reducing infrastructure and energy costs.State of the art

[0019] Known prior art solutions for washing machines can be verified in prior art documents such as the United States patent document number US20100095715A1, entitled "A washing machine" or "A washing machine", which refers to a washing machine comprising an ozone generator, in which, according to the summary of said document, the microorganisms accumulated inside the detergent dispenser (5) are eliminated, leaving the hygienic washed clothes and also the washing machine (1) are ready to start the next washing program in a more hygienic way, which is achieved by introducing ozone gas directly into the detergent dispenser (5).

[0020] In this specific case, despite the use of ozone to eliminate microorganisms that may be present in the detergent dispenser and in the softener compartment, which can result in water savings, the US20100095715A1 solution does not provide for the reduction or even elimination of detergents or fabric softeners, resulting in the aforementioned damage to the environment. Furthermore, the solution described in US20100095715A1 does not reveal or suggest any real-time monitoring or control of the washing process that could, based on the soiling condition, adapt the amount of water or the use or not of more or less chemical additives.

[0021] Another pertinent document is the United States patent document number US20140014145A1, entitled "Electrolysis device and related detergentless washing machine" or "Electrolysis device and corresponding detergent-free washing machine" which discloses and describes, according to its summary, an electrolysis device for producing alkaline water from water, including an electrolysis container, a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a bipolar membrane element and at least one cation exchangeable membrane within the electrolysis vessel. The bipolar membrane element has a cationexchangeable side and an anion-exchangeable side, with the cationexchangeable side being closer to the negative electrode than the anion- exchangeable side. The at least one cation exchangeable membrane is disposed between the anion exchangeable side of the bipolar membrane element and the positive electrode so as to define an alkaline chamber between the bipolar membrane element and the cation exchangeable membrane. An ion exchange resin is associated with the container, whereby the flow of water through the container and the ion exchange resin produces alkaline water in the alkaline chamber. Furthermore, according to the text on screen, several options and modifications are possible, including, in addition to the washing machine, a dishwasher.

[0022] It should be noted, however, that the teachings of document US20140014145A1 do not offer conditions for creating an electron trap. His teachings involve low voltage values and high frequency values, providing simple electrolysis. As an obvious consequence of this solution, the water undergoes a change in temperature that may be undesirable for the respective washing cycle, in addition to resulting in high electricity consumption. Furthermore, his teachings rely on grounding the flow of water, which prevents the formation of an electron trap. Finally, it is notable that themethod and apparatus provided by US20140014145A1 offer less versatility of applications and less control conditions on the part of its user, in addition to not having any real-time monitoring or control of the washing process that could, from the dirt condition, adapt the amount of water and / or the use or not of more or less chemical additives.

[0023] There are many advantages of using electron traps for the most diverse applications, among which we mention the saving of energy consumption (compared to the use of simple electrolysis alone), reduction of water consumption in washing and rinsing cycles, ease adaptation in various practical systems, both continuously and in batches, simple and economical domestic or commercial application, high processing speed, as well as a clean and sustainable process.

[0024] Thus, taking into account the teachings of the state of the art, there is clearly a demand for equipment and method for water electroenergization for washing objects in washing equipment, more specifically equipment and method capable of altering the physical- chemicals of the wash water by means of an electron trap to promote the removal or addition of electrons from the wash water, including changing the pH and concomitantly reducing the surface tension of the wash water, reducing the amount of detergents, softeners and other products usually added to the washing water and even eliminating the use of such products, in addition to resulting in much less water use.

[0025] Therefore, the material now disclosed aims to solve such problems through a system and method for water electroenergization for washing objects in washing equipment by subjecting the washing and / or rinsing water to an electron trap.Objectives of the invention

[0034] The detailed description below makes reference to the attached drawings in which, by way of non-limiting illustration, embodiments of the present invention are represented. These modalities are described in order to allow one skilled in the art to reproduce their results. Other modalities resulting from structural, hydraulic, mechanical, logical, electrical, and electronic changes are possible and can be realized without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The following detailed description should therefore not be understood in a restrictive or limiting way.

[0035] To facilitate understanding and organize the details of the present invention, the following description will be divided into topics according to the objectives of the invention.Equipment (100)

[0036] A washing equipment for water electroenergization for washing objects or simply equipment (100), according to the invention, essentially comprises at least one washing chamber (110); at least one electron trap (200); at least one processor (300) or computing system or processing circuit configured to control the equipment (100) comprising at least one memory that stores information and computer-executable instructions, whereinexecution of the instructions performs one or more steps of monitoring and control of the washing process in washing equipment; and at least one trained neural network, wherein the trained neural network is configured to, from input information generated by at least one condition detector (400) of the objects to be washed (500), generate processor output instructions (300) which, according to the neural network machine learning model, promotes the change in the electrical potential of the electron trap (200) according to the predetermined ideal conditions for the objects to be washed (500). Furthermore, the processor (300) can also generate output instructions for changing one or more parameters of one or more washing cycles, such as, but without limiting the invention, the wash water input flow rate, the total volume of washing water to be supplied to the washing chamber (110), the temperature of the washing water inside the washing chamber (110), the time of each washing cycle, in particular, the time of the first washing cycle washing ("soaking"), the eventual repetition of one or more of the equipment cycles (100), addition of one or more chemicals, etc. It should be noted that the equipment (100) of the invention must perform washing tasks, preferably, but without limiting the invention, without the use of any additional chemical products, since the use of an electron trap (200) provides the unprecedented flexibility of acidifying or al kal in izing the washing water, associated with the reduction, through electroenergization, of the surface tension of the washing water, the which, together, makes the washing water a powerful surfactant with the pH ideally adjusted, in real time, to the dirt conditions received from one or more condition detectors (400) of the objects to be washed (500). It should also be noted that acidulation is especially advantageous in at least one cycle of the equipment (100), for example, but without limiting the invention, in the softening cycle of the objects to be washed (500) when these are clothesor the like, reducing and, preferably, but without limiting the invention, dispensing with the use of softeners.

[0037] In the context of the present invention, the term "washing water" refers, preferably, but without limiting the invention, to water in its fluid state, whether previously treated or not, and may also alternatively comprise mineral water, emulsions, concentrates, pulps, extracts, emulsions, ointments, creams, pastes, gels and the like, as long as they have sufficient fluidity for movement in pipes and are, preferably, but without limiting the invention, capable of flowing under the gravitational effect and / or are pumpable. It should be noted that the washing water has an initial condition of initial fluid (Fl), before and during its passage through the electron trap (200), and a final condition of final fluid (FF), after its passage through the electron trap (200) and complete electroenergization according to the applied parameters, that is, with more or fewer electrons than the initial fluid (Fl) and with the surface tension reduced in relation to the initial fluid (Fl).

[0038] In the context of the present invention, the term "objects to be washed" refers, broadly, to any and all inanimate objects that will be washed and / or decontaminated and / or sterilized in the equipment (100) of the invention.

[0039] In the context of the present invention, the term "washing chamber" refers to the component or region or part of the equipment (100) where the objects to be washed (500) are arranged and which will receive the electro-energized washing water. A washing chamber (110) must therefore be a drum or container or tank which may be any container lined with suitable insulating material or manufactured from suitable insulating material, capable of allowing the greatest possible ionization time of the final fluid (FF) after passing through the electron trap (200), without running the risk of causinggrounding and consequent charge leakage. It should be noted that the dielectric nature of the container in no way alters the condition of availability for immediate use of the final fluid (FF).

[0040] In the context of the present invention, the term "wash cycle" refers to one or more cycles or usual programs for washing equipment (100) of the nature treated here, which usually vary in terms of water temperature, time and intensity. For washing machines, the cycles may comprise, for example, but without limiting the invention, soaking, washing, quick washing, heavy washing, rinsing, softening, rinsing again, spinning, drying, etc. In the case of dishwashers, the cycles may comprise, for example, but without limiting the invention, cycles of spraying washing water, washing itself, rinsing, drying, etc.

[0041] In the context of the present invention, the term "electron trap" refers to a device for electroenergization of fluids provided with a housing (201), at least one cathode (210) connected to at least one internal electrode (220) arranged inside the housing (201), at least one anode (230) connected to at least one external electrode (233) arranged in a cutout in the housing (201) and at least two energy sources (240, 250) connected to the circuit comprising cathode (210), internal electrode (220), anode (230) and external electrode (233), as represented especially in Figure 1.

[0042] The housing (201) of the electron trap (200) is composed of at least one outer layer (202) of dielectric material, an intermediate layer (203) of electrically conductive material and an inner layer (204) of dielectric material. The outer (202) and inner (204) layers are intended to isolate the intermediate layer (203) of electrically conductive material from contact with the surface, with other electrically conductive materials, or with the initial fluid (IF) to be energized by the equipment (100), wherein this initial fluid (IF) is, preferably,but without limiting the invention, water, more specifically wash water. The housing (201) in question may be a simple housing and / or a tube and / or part of the piping that will carry the washing water into the washing chamber (110). The housing (201) must contain insulation (234) at its ends to prevent electrical contact with the piping or any other component of the equipment (100) that is made of conductive material and / or with insufficient dielectric strength in relation to the characteristics of the application and which may, eventually, allow the transmission of electrical current based on a certain voltage / current, and also avoid contact with other conductive and / or grounded objects. In general, the elements described here can also be solid and covered by appropriate insulating layers, such as polymers, paints, coatings and other forms suitable for insulation under the conditions described and required by the invention.

[0043] It should be noted that electrical conductive materials and dielectric or electrical insulating materials are widely known in the art, including, but not limited to, copper, stainless steel, graphite, graphene, aluminum and the like, in the case of conductors, and PP, PE, polymers, compomers, ceromers, ceramics, glasses, and the like in the case of dielectrics.

[0044] The electron trap (200) is constructed to form a module housed in a suitable casing, box or fairing (101), which can be portable, but is preferably fixed. This fairing can even be the housing itself (201), housing the other constituent elements of the electron trap (200) in casings coupled to the housing (201), as can be seen in a non-limiting way in Figure 2.

[0045] As it is modular, the electron trap (200) can be arranged in any position or section of one or more equipment pipes (100), according to the needs of each system construction, as can be seen especially in Figure 3.

[0046] The external electrode (233) must be located between the internal and external part of the tube, in a cutout in the casing (201), remaining partially inserted, so as to have 5 to 80%, preferably 15 to 70%, preferably 20 to 60% of its volume arranged inside the carcass (201). The position of the cutout must be such that it guarantees the correct positioning of the external electrode (233) in relation to the internal electrode (220), this position being preferably diametrically opposite to that of the internal electrode (220). Furthermore, the external electrode (233) has free surfaces and / or rounded ends, both upstream and downstream of the flow, which, together with its partial insertion, increases its hydrodynamic characteristics, reducing friction between the external electrode and the initial fluid (IF). It should be noted that the electroenergization of the washing water occurs through the passage of the washing water as initial fluid (IF) through the electron trap (200) where it contacts the electrodes (220, 233), and is therefore also a function of the contact time, in which some prior art solutions teach the reduction of the internal diameter of the electron trap (200) in relation to the diameter of the supply pipe. However, for applications that demand continuous flow, for example, in equipment (100) built in the form of washing machines or dishwashers, flow reductions and / or retentions are not desired. The present invention provides an electron trap (200) with an internal diameter essentially close to the internal diameter of the fluidic circuit in the interface regions with it, which, together with the other characteristics of the electron trap (200) of the invention, in addition to guarantee the perfect electroenergization of the washing water to make it a final fluid (FF), without compromising its flow.

[0047] The external electrode (233) must be painted or coated with an electrical insulating material in the portion that projects outside the housing(201), in the regions of direct contact between the external electrode (233) and the housing (201) and, also, in the part facing the inside of the housing (201), the latter of which, for example, may be without or even with a smaller amount of insulating material than the rest of the external electrode (233).

[0048] The inner layer of the tube (204) may also be without or even with a smaller amount of insulating material than that of the outer layer (202) to facilitate the direction of the flow of electrons in the electron trap (200). The external layer (202) or external part of the tube or housing (201) must be completely isolated, preventing electron leakage. The aforementioned effect refers to the "Leyden bottle" principle.

[0049] The cathode (210) of the system (100) is composed of an inner layer (211) of electrically conductive material and is covered by an outer layer (212) of dielectric material that is intended to isolate the inner layer (211) from contact with the surface, with other electrically conductive materials, or with the washing water (Fl) to be energized by the electron trap (200) of the equipment (100). In the preferred embodiment illustrated in Figure 1, said cathode (210) is connected to at least one internal electrode (220). The elements described here may also be solid and covered by appropriate insulating layers, such as polymers, paints, coatings and other forms suitable for insulation under the conditions described and required by the invention.

[0050] The internal electrode (220), similar to the cathode (210), is composed of an internal layer (221) of electrically conductive material and is covered by an external layer (222) of dielectric material for proper insulation. The internal electrode (220) is arranged inside the housing (201), electrically isolated from it, being at a distance (d) from the inner wall of the tube that is equivalent to a value of 0 to 20%, preferably 1 to 10%, preferably 2 to 5% of the diameter (or internal measurement) of the casing (201). The internalelectrode (220) has free surfaces and / or rounded ends, both upstream and downstream of the flow, which increases its hydrodynamic characteristics, reducing friction between the external electrode and the fluid. The elements described here may also be solid and covered by appropriate insulating layers, such as polymers, paints, coatings and other forms suitable for insulation under the conditions described and required by the invention.

[0051] The anode (230) comprises an inner layer (231) of electrically conductive material and is coated by an outer layer (232) of dielectric material which is intended to isolate the inner layer (231) from contact with the surface or water, wash to be energized by the equipment (100). The anode (230) may or may not be in electrical contact with the housing (201) upon its insertion into it.

[0052] In one embodiment of the invention, both the anode (230) connected to the external electrode (233) and the cathode (210) connected to the internal electrode (220) are isolated from the housing (201). However, it is also possible for the anode (230) and / or the cathode (210) to be in electrical contact with the housing (201), depending on the needs and demands of the application.

[0053] The electrodes (220, 233) must be made of conductive material with characteristics suitable for the voltage and electrical current of electrical energy sources (240, 250) and such that it does not contaminate the washing water, preferably, but not limited to materials based on oxides to increase electroenergization performance, through the function of directed and controlled semiconductors. Materials can also be considered, but not limited to materials such as stainless steel, they can also be coated with stainless steel surface treatments, in addition to ceramic materials, metal oxides, graphenes, fullerenes and other suitable materials.

[0054] It is worth mentioning that the electron trap (200) must be electrically isolated from the fairing (101) and also from the structure and elements of the fluidic circuit by means, for example, of appropriate insulation known in the prior art, in which housing (201) should preferably be a ceramic tube or similar insulating material, with a smooth surface and mechanical and abrasion resistance.

[0055] The electron trap (200) also comprises two energy sources (240, 250), with adjustable voltage, preferably direct current with pulsed current, being a positive source (240) for electron sequestration (electroacidulation) and a negative source (240) (250) for the accumulation of electrons (electroalkalinization).

[0056] The power sources (240, 250) are switchable and connected in the circuit with a set of switches or switches (241, 251), and the circuit also comprises a set of diodes (242, 252) to ensure the correct direction of flow of current according to the source (240, 250) switched / selected to feed the electron trap (200) and, thus, avoid reverse currents during the electroenergization process, enabling complete ionization according to parameterization. It should be noted that one or more of the diodes (242, 252) may eventually be replaced by non-contact spark devices or "spark gaps", preferably arranged close to the cathode (210) and anode (230).

[0057] The electroenergization conditions are essentially given by the type of source (240, 250), the voltage and current applied by the source (240, 250) to the circuit and the operating time of the electron trap (200). The choice of these three parameters is made according to the type and intensity of the electroenergization which, in the case of the present invention, occurs automatically and in real time by submitting, at each reading, input information provided by at least one condition detector. (400) of the objectsto be washed (500), to the machine learning model configured to provide output instructions in response to the reception of this input information, wherein the output instructions are associated unambiguously and in real time with each reading of input information provided by at least one condition detector (400) of the objects to be washed (500), changing the electric field intensity of the electron trap (200) according to predetermined ideal values, so that the electron trap (200) promotes the electroacidulation or electroalkalinization of the wash water, transforming it into a wash fluid suitable for its intended use.

[0058] The selection of the source (240, 250), the command for the voltage and current values of the sources (240, 250) and the control of the operating time of the sources (240, 250) are functions executed and controlled by the processor (300), which assigns each operation instruction a predetermined triple source / voltage-current / time protocol, according to the output instructions of the trained neural network. Each instruction is equivalent to an ionization condition appropriate, in real time, to the dirt conditions of the objects to be washed (500). It should be noted that, in an alternative embodiment of the invention, the choice of parameters may be unique for one or more washing cycles, for example, when the soiling conditions of the objects to be washed are known in advance (500). It should also be noted that, in an alternative embodiment of the invention, the user can make the choice of parameters himself.

[0059] It should also be noted that, due to the continuous correction in real time of the ionization conditions for the preparation of the washing water to be used for washing, there may be an intense variation in these ionization conditions, for example, according to the filling the washing chamber (110) with electro-energized washing water.

[0060] In the equipment (100) according to the invention, electroenergization can be used both for the sequestration of electrons (positive direction - electroacidulation) with the selection of the positive source (240) and for the accumulation of electrons (negative direction - electroalkalinization) with the selection of the negative source (250), making it possible to obtain the exact quantity of ions with the desired charges (positive or negative direction) or, even, promoting possible adjustments and corrections to the ion levels of the washing water in the process (mixed or alternating direction) to obtain a final fluid (FF) with the desired characteristics, predetermined according to the application and purpose intended for its energization.

[0061] In the context of the present invention, the term "electron sequestration" means that, in the case of the energized fluid, the negative ions migrate to the positive pole of the electric current of constant polarity immersed in the fluid, causing a desired excess of hydrogen ions (H) or cations and the consequent increase in the acidity of the fluid, here called electroacidulation. The source selected in this case is the positive source (240).

[0062] In the context of the present invention, the term "electron accumulation" means that, in the case of the energized fluid, the positive ions migrate to the negative pole of the electric current of constant polarity immersed in the fluid, causing a desired excess of hydroxyl ions (OH ) or anions and the consequent increase in the alkalinity of the fluid, here called electroalkalinization. The source selected in this case is the negative source (250).

[0063] According to the invention, the intensity of the electroacidulation is done through the output instructions of the processor (300) which willinstruct the selection of one or more among two or more possibilities that will be assigned by the processor (300) to the protocol(s). corresponding triplet(s).

[0064] It should be noted that, regardless of the use of a direct current or alternating current electrical energy source, the practical tests complementary to the studies of the present invention make it clear that the higher the applied voltage, the better and more intense the harmonization of the flow of energy, resulting electrons within the fluid. The choice of the intensity of the electric current follows the same reasoning, that is, the greater the applied current, the more uniform the flow of electrons.

[0065] These considerations, however, should not be understood as limiting the applications of the present invention, since the choice of electrical voltage and current levels will depend on the type of fluid chosen, the conditions and characteristics of the fluid, the container or reservoir through which it is applied, contained, any objects totally or partially immersed in it and other conditions that may influence the dielectric characteristics of the set.

[0066] That said, the use of both low voltages and currents and high voltages and currents must be considered, with the use of pulsed direct current being preferred, but without ruling out the option of pulsed alternating current. For high voltage generating sources, we have the Van der Graaf source or trivial sources, with the capacity to generate unilateral pulsed or non-pulsed currents. Electrical voltages can vary within a range of 0.1 V to 1 GV, preferably following the range between 50 and 300 kV, more preferably a range around 150 kV. The frequency of the electrical pulses can be from 60 Hz to 1 x 1015Hz, preferably between 60 and 1 kHz.

[0067] Power sources (240, 250) are suitable sources of electrical energy according to the invention are sources of direct or pulsed alternating currentthat must enable electrical potential differences between 1 kV and 100 GV, preferably, but not limited to a range between 0.1 V and 10 GV. The choice of voltage will essentially depend on the type of fluid to be energized, the intended energization time and the presence or absence of objects immersed in the fluid, in addition, of course, to the dielectric properties of the equipment and its components and, eventually, the container. The values cited here should not be understood as limiting the scope of the invention, and may be higher or lower than indicated, depending on the necessary electroenergization conditions.

[0068] Suitable electrical energy sources (240, 250) according to the invention are pulsed direct or alternating current sources that must enable electrical currents between 1 pA and 1 kA, preferably, but not limited to a range between 1 mA and 100 A. The choice of electric current intensity will essentially depend on the type of fluid (F) to be energized, the intended energization time and the presence or not from objects immersed in the fluid (F). The electrical energy sources (240, 250) can be powered by the existing power grid or by alternative sources such as solar panels, wind towers, etc. The values and citations should not be understood as limiting the scope of the invention, and may be higher or lower than indicated, depending on the necessary electroenergization conditions.

[0069] The operating time of the electron trap (200) may vary according to the output instructions of the processor (300) and thus depending on the instructions for executing one or more of the wash cycles according to the detector readings, condition (400). Therefore, the time can vary from a few milliseconds to a few seconds, with the fluid flow being a direct function of the time equivalent to the triple protocol instructed by the processor (300) or even the triple protocol chosen by the consumer at the interface (320).

[0070] It is especially important to highlight that the electrical voltage applied to the initial fluid (IF) at this stage must be concomitant with the materials used in the electron trap (200), and such that it overcomes the dielectric strength of the insulation in the desired locations, to allow flow and subsequent trapping (after removal from grounding) of electrons inside it, promoting the trapping of electrons inside the fluid and, thus, the electroenergization of the aqueous formulation.

[0071] In the case of positive targeting or electron sequestration, a positive differential is created and the consequent acidulation of the fluid. In this type of process, the electrostatic sensitivity of the final fluid (FF) occurs between the positive charges of the fluid and the electrons.

[0072] In the case of negative direction or accumulation of electrons, a negative differential is created and the consequent alkalin ization of the fluid. In this type of process, the electrostatic sensitivity of the final fluid (FF) occurs between the electrons in the fluid and positive charges.

[0093] A "set of input information", according to the invention, is a set of data acquired and / or transmitted and / or stored by and in one or more of the components of the equipment (100) of the invention, preferably comprising, but without limiting the invention, one or further input information from the reading of one or more condition detectors (400) of the objects to be washed (500), wherein this input information is received by the processor (300) of the equipment (100) of the invention. It should be noted that the condition detectors (400) detect the condition of one or more of the objects to be washed (500) alone and / or together with the washing water already present in the washing chamber (110) of the equipment (100).

[0094] A set of input information comprises one or more information on the physical-chemical characteristics of the washing water together with theobjects to be washed (500) to determine, in real time, the soiling conditions of the objects to be washed (500), being acquired continuously or intermittently at predetermined intervals, from one or more condition detectors (400) and transmitted to the processor (300), preferably comprising, but without limiting the invention, information about: a.

Eventually, depending on the type of equipment (100), the weight of the load and / or the volume of the load and / or the quantity of objects to be washed (500); and i. Color.

[0095] A "output instruction set", according to the invention, comprises output instructions generated by the processor (300) in response to input information processed by the machine learning model of the invention, more specifically comprising instructions for changing the electric field of the electron trap (200), defining the electroenergization conditions, essentially, by the type of source (240, 250), the voltage and current applied by the source (240, 250) to the circuit and the operating time of the electron trap (200). The choice of these three parameters is made according to the type and intensity of the electroenergization which, in the case of the present invention, occurs automatically and in real time.

[0096] Furthermore, the output instructions also comprise instructions for changing one or more parameters of one or more wash cycles such as, but without limiting the invention, the inlet flow rate of the wash water, the total volume of water of washing to be supplied to the washing chamber (110), the temperature of the washing water inside the washing chamber (110), the time of each washing cycle and other cycles of the equipment (100), in particular, the time of the first washing cycle ("soak"), the possible repetition of one or more of the cycles, the possible addition of one or more chemical products, etc., remembering that the equipment (100) of the invention was designed to carry out cleaning tasks, washing, preferably, but without limiting the invention, without the use of any additional chemical products, since the use of an electron trap (200) provides the unprecedented flexibility of acidifying or alkalinizing the washing water, associated with the reduction, through electroenergization, of the surface tension of the washing water, the which, together, makes the washing water a powerful surfactant with the pH ideally adjusted, in real time, to the dirt conditions received from one or more condition detectors (400) of the objects to be washed (500).

[0097] According to the invention, the output instructions of the processor (300) will define the intensity of electroacidulation or electroalkalinization, by selecting one or more of two or more possibilities that will be assigned by the processor to the triple protocol(s). corresponding(s). It should also be noted that the size (capacity) of the pipes and any intermediate containers of the equipment (100) and the flow rate of the initial fluid (Fl) also influence the intensity of the ionization resulting from the final fluid (FF), since, as the larger the pipe and / or flow, the greater the number of electrons to be sequestered or accumulated. Furthermore, the construction characteristics such as the thickness, the material used and the electricalinsulation of the electron trap components (200) also influence the final result, therefore, the capacity values indicated above are only a reference.

[0098] An electron trap according to the present invention enables the electroenergization of fluids in a controlled manner, being able to provide both acidulation and a I ka I in ization of the fluid in process, adapting to the type of application and the objects to be washed (500) at which it is intended, also allows the concomitant reduction of the surface tension of the fluid, preferably eliminating the use of detergents, softeners, bleach and drying agents, in addition to optimizing flow conditions and reducing infrastructure and energy costs. This reduction must be understood as the decrease in the surface tension of the initial fluid (Fl) in the process until reaching values of surface tension of the final fluid (FF) lower than those of the initial fluid (Fl), under similar pressure and temperature conditions.

[0099] The preferred (ideal) positioning of an electron trap (200) in the fluidic circuit is as close as possible to the washing chamber (110). In this way, electrical losses are reduced and the effects of electroenergization and reduced surface tension are maintained for as long as possible.

[0100] However, it should be noted that the number of electron trap modules (200), as well as the length of the fluidic circuit and the number of piping components, depends on the conditions of each application, for example, in a washing machine, or dishwasher or other similar domestic or industrial washing machine.

[0101] For cases where incoming wash water or starting fluid (Fl) is distributed to larger sections of piping and / or greater distances, or depending on the size of the washing chamber (110), it may be necessary to provide more electron traps (200) along the pipeline, at distances that will depend not only on the characteristics of the electron trap (200) such as voltage, current andapplication time, but also the characteristics of the initial fluid (Fl), the final fluid (FF), the dirt conditions of the objects to be washed (500) etc. The main parameters to consider in relation to fluids (Fl, FF)) are density, viscosity and temperature, with characteristics such as pipe diameter, pressure and flow required or intended, etc. being determinants of the fluidic circuit.

[0102] Furthermore, as is known in the art, it may also be necessary to install additional fluid pumps to maintain pressure and compensate for pressure losses that usually occur due to the friction of water or aqueous solution with the internal walls of the pipe.Operation of the equipment (100) of the invention

[0103] The equipment (100), according to the invention, comprising at least one washing chamber (110); at least one electron trap (200); at least one processor (300) or computing system or processing circuit configured to control the equipment (100) comprising at least one memory that stores information and computer-executable instructions, wherein execution of the instructions performs one or more steps of monitoring and control of the washing process in washing equipment; and at least one trained neural network, wherein the trained neural network is configured to, from input information generated by at least one condition detector (400) of the objects to be washed (500), generate processor output instructions (300) which, according to the neural network machine learning model, promotes the change in the electrical potential of the electron trap (200) according to the predetermined ideal conditions for the objects to be washed (500), stored in at least at least one database of the processor (300) of the invention and / or, optionally, on at least one central server of the invention. Furthermore, the processor (300) can also generate output instructions for changing one or more parameters of one or more wash cycles such as, for example, butwithout limiting the invention, the wash water input flow rate, the total volume of wash water to be supplied to the wash chamber (110), the temperature of the wash water inside the wash chamber (110), the time of each wash cycle, in particular, the time of the first wash cycle washing ("soaking"), the possible repetition of one or more of the equipment cycles (100), the possible addition of one or more chemical products, etc. It should be noted that the equipment (100) of the invention must perform washing tasks, preferably, but without limiting the invention, without the use of any additional chemical products, since the use of an electron trap (200) provides the unprecedented flexibility of acidifying or alkalinizing the washing water, associated with the reduction, through electroenergization, of the surface tension of the washing water, the which, together, makes the washing water a powerful surfactant with the pH ideally adjusted, in real time, to the dirt conditions received from one or more condition detectors (400) of the objects to be washed (500).

[0104] Once the objects to be washed (500) are arranged in the washing chamber (110), the operator starts the operation of the equipment (100) by activating the processor (300) through an interface (320) of the control unit (310), in which the processor (300) releases the initial fluid input (Fl) from the water supply source (FA) connected to at least one water inlet pipe (120) of the equipment (100), in which the washing water in its initial fluid state (Fl) enters the electron trap. It should be noted that this release of the initial fluid (IF) from the water supply source (FA) can be through a solenoid or mechanical valve with manual or electrical actuation or similar, in a manner known in the prior art for equipment (100) of the nature discussed here.

[0105] It is to be noted that the electron trap (200) can be triggered by the processor (300) according to a predetermined initial triple protocol ofsource / voltage-current / time and / or by selecting one or more wash cycles, pre-programmed by the operator, but, preferably, but without limiting the invention, the initial fluid (Fl) can pass through the electron trap (200) still turned off or not yet energized, entering the washing chamber (110) in the form of a first final fluid (FF1), unchanged in relation to the initial fluid (Fl), and wetting the objects to be washed (500), generating a first condition of washing water contaminated with dirt from at least part of the objects to be washed (500), referred to here as the contaminated fluid (FC), being represented especially by Figure 4 of the attached drawings.

[0106] At least one condition detector (400), preferably a first condition detector (401) located in the lowest part of the washing chamber (110) and interconnected with the processor (300) by means of a detection wiring (410), performs the first measurement of the dirt condition of the contaminated fluid (FC), in this case a first contaminated fluid (FC1), sending as input information the results of the readings of one or more physical quantities of the first contaminated fluid (FC1) to the processor (300), informing the processor (300), for example, but without limiting the invention, the turgidity and / or softness and / or the presence of fat and / or fatty acids and / or the pH and / or the initial temperature and / or the presence of solid bodies and / or the color and / or, eventually, depending on the type of equipment (100), the volume and / or weight of the first contaminated fluid (FC1) and / or the volume of the load and / or the quantity of objects to be washed (500), thus determining a first dirt condition of the first contaminated fluid (FC1).

[0107] It is to be noted that the measurement of the soiling condition of the first contaminated fluid (FC1) by a first condition detector (401) can be repeated several times while the first final fluid (FF1) is filling the washing chamber (110). These readings can be taken intermittently at predeterminedintervals or continuously, and the activation of the electron trap (200) by the processor (300) can be done in the first stage, that is, before the contaminated fluid level (FC) reaches the second condition detector (402).

[0108] The trained neural network of the processor (300) processes the input information provided by the first condition detector (401), comparing it to the predetermined ideal conditions, providing, in response to the input information provided by the first condition detector (401), output instructions promoting the activation of the electron trap (200), more precisely, its energization and, thus, the electroenergization of the initial fluid (Fl) according to the electrical potential necessary to establish the triple corrective protocol of the first dirt condition of the first contaminated fluid (FC1), through acidulation or alkalinization of the initial fluid (Fl) by the electron trap (200) so to generate a second final fluid (FF2) which, upon entering the washing chamber (110), will promote the change in the physicochemical characteristics of the first contaminated fluid (FC1) and, as the volume of the second final fluid (FF2) increases inside the washing chamber (110) containing the objects to be washed (500), a second contaminated fluid (FC2) will be obtained.

[0109] At least one second condition detector (402), also interconnected with the processor (300) by means of detection wiring (410), but located in a different position and, preferably, slightly above the first condition detector (401), performs a second measurement of the dirt condition of the contaminated fluid (FC), in this case a second contaminated fluid (FC2), sending as input information the results of the readings of one or more physical quantities of the second contaminated fluid (FC2) to the processor (300), informing the processor (300), for example, but without limiting the invention, the turgidity and / or softness and / or the presence of fat and / orfatty acids and / or the pH and / or the initial temperature and / or the presence of solid bodies and / or the color and / or, eventually, depending on the type of equipment (100), the volume and / or weight of the second contaminated fluid (FC2) and / or the volume of the load and / or the quantity of objects to be washed (500), thus determining a second dirt condition of the second contaminated fluid (FC2). It should be noted that the input information for the second contaminated fluid (FC2) can be provided by either the second condition detector (402) or the first condition detector (401) or even by both condition detectors (401, 402), and in the latter case, it can be done an interpolation by the trained neural network.

[0110] It should be noted that the measurement of the soiling condition of the second contaminated fluid (FC2) by a second condition detector (402) can be repeated several times as the second final fluid (FF2) is filling the washing chamber (110), which also applies to the case of the first condition detector (401) sending its measurements together with those of the second condition detector (402). These readings can be taken intermittently at predetermined intervals or continuously, and the parameters of the triple corrective protocol applied to the electron trap (200) by the processor (300) can be kept constant until the next step, but they can also be changed as the readings of the condition detectors (401, 402) change.

[0111] The trained neural network of the processor (300) processes the input information provided by the second condition detector (402) and / or the first condition detector (401), comparing it to the predetermined ideal conditions, providing, in response to the input information provided by the second condition detector (402) and / or the first condition detector (401), output instructions promoting the activation of the electron trap (200), more precisely, the its energization and, thus, the electroenergization of the initialfluid (Fl) according to the electrical potential necessary to establish the triple corrective protocol of the second dirt condition of the second contaminated fluid (FC2), through acidulation or al kal in ization of the initial fluid (Fl) by the electron trap (200) in order to generate a third final fluid (FF3) which, upon entering the washing chamber (110), will promote the change in the physicochemical characteristics of the second contaminated fluid (FC2) and, at the same time, As the volume of the third final fluid (FF3) increases within the washing chamber (110) containing the objects to be washed (500), a third contaminated fluid (FC3) will be obtained.

[0112] At least a third condition detector (403), also interconnected with the processor (300) by means of detection wiring (410), but located in a different position and, preferably, slightly above the second condition detector (402), performs a third measurement of the dirt condition of the contaminated fluid (FC), in this case a third contaminated fluid (FC3), sending as input information the results of the readings of one or more physical quantities of the third contaminated fluid (FC3) to the processor (300), informing the processor (300), for example, but without limiting the invention, the turgidity and / or softness and / or the presence of fat and / or fatty acids and / or the pH and / or the initial temperature and / or the presence of solid bodies and / or the color and / or, eventually, depending on the type of equipment (100), the volume and / or weight of the contaminated third fluid (FC3) and / or the volume of the load and / or the quantity of objects to be washed (500), thus determining a third dirt condition of the third contaminated fluid (FC3). It should be noted that the input information of the third contaminated fluid (FC3) can be provided by both the third condition detector (403) and the second condition detector (402) and, even, eventually, by the first condition detector condition (401) or, even, by all three conditiondetectors (401, 402, 403), in which case it can be done, in the latter case, an interpolation by the trained neural network.

[0113] The trained neural network of the processor (300) processes the input information provided by the third condition detector (403) and / or the second condition detector (402) and / or the first condition detector (401), comparing them at predetermined ideal conditions, providing, in response to input information provided by the third condition detector (403) and / or the second condition detector (402) and / or the first condition detector (401), output instructions promoting the activation of the electron trap (200), more precisely, its energization and, thus, the electroenergization of the initial fluid (Fl) according to the electrical potential necessary to establish the triple corrective protocol of the second dirt condition of the third contaminated fluid (FC3), through the acidulation or alkalinization of the initial fluid (Fl) by the electron trap (200) in order to generate a third final fluid (FF3) which, upon entering the washing chamber (110), will promote the change of the physicalchemicals of the third contaminated fluid (FC3) and, as the volume of the fourth final fluid (FF4) increases within the washing chamber (110) containing the objects to be washed (500), a new contaminated fluid will be obtained and so on, until an nthdirt condition of an nthcontaminated fluid (FCn) by at least an nthcondition detector (400-n) and the electroenergization of the initial fluid (Fl) to obtain an nthfinal fluid (FFn).

[0114] It is to be noted that the nthcondition detector (400-n), as well as the other condition detectors (401, 402, 403,) may comprise at least one maximum level sensor which, in combination with one or more of the other condition detectors (401, 402, 403), informs the processor (300) that the maximum fluid volume and / or weight predicted for the equipment (100) has been reached, in which the processor (300) will generate the outputinstruction to the entry of the initial fluid (Fl) from the water supply source (FA) connected to at least one water inlet pipe (120) of the equipment (100).

[0115] Therefore, depending on the readings obtained by the condition detectors (400) regarding turgidity and / or softness and / or the presence of fat and / or fatty acids and / or pH and / or the initial temperature and / or the presence of solid bodies and / or the color and / or volume of the load and / or the quantity of objects to be washed (500), the interruption of filling the washing chamber (110) can occur based on the reading of any one of the condition detectors (401, 402, 403, 400-n), which characterizes another of the advantages of the equipment (100) of the invention: water saving!

[0116] After completing the last electroenergization stage and / or reaching the maximum volume of fluid and / or load inside the washing chamber (110), the processor (300) will generate instructions regarding the load's residence time ("sauce") depending on the predetermined ideal conditions, any rotation cycles ("washing") of the washing chamber (110), completion of these steps and disposal of the nthcontaminated fluid (FCn) in the form of a waste fluid (FD), the disposal being carried out either by gravity or by means of at least a first waste pump (330) and a first suction and outlet pipe (331), the release of the waste fluid being carried out by activating a solenoid or mechanical valve with manual or electrical drive, or similar, in a manner known in the art for equipment (100) of the nature discussed here.

[0117] After discardingthe waste fluid (FD), there may be a need to repeat the cycle described above one or more times and / or intersperse these cycles with soaking, agitation, rinsing and / or centrifugation and / or other cycles appropriate to achieving the predetermined ideal conditions.

[0118] The steps described above must also be carried out in other cycles of the equipment (100), such as, but without limiting the invention, inadditional washing cycles, softening cycles and other cycles that require total or partial filling of the cleaning chamber, washing with a washing fluid.

[0119] It should be noted that the electron trap (200) of the equipment (100), when electroenergizing the washing water, promotes the electrorepulsion of fats and fatty acids in general, due to the electrostatic effect intensified by the electron trap (200), for example, with the sequestration of electrons stored in the washing water in its contaminated fluid (FC) state within the washing chamber (110) and the objects to be washed (500), forcing a separation of oil and water and, as the fats and fatty acids are less dense than the wash water, the fats and fatty acids will float on the surface of the wash water.

[0120] That said, as the fats and fatty acids will float, it may be necessary to use at least a second disposal pump (340) and a second suction and outlet pipe (341) to remove the floating fatty material, eventually in combination with a centrifuge cycle, in addition to the installation of filters before the entry of the second waste pump (340).

[0121] It is also worth noting that the equipment's electron trap (200), by reducing surface tension, will promote the flocculation and sedimentation of dirt, increasing the possibility of dirt accumulating in the lower or lowest part of the washing chamber (110), it may be necessary, in addition to the first waste pump (330) and the first suction and outlet piping (331), to install filters before the entry of the first waste pump (330).

[0122] It is important to highlight that the equipment (100) of the invention can, in the same washing cycle, promote only the acidulation or only the al kal in ization of the final fluid (FF) that will enter the washing chamber (110), and it is also possible to alternate between the acidulation and alkalinization of the final fluid (FF), depending on the input informationprovided to the processor (300) by at least one of the condition detectors (400).

[0123] It should also be noted that acidulation is especially advantageous in at least one cycle of the equipment (100), for example, but without limiting the invention, in the softening cycle of the objects to be washed (500) when these are clothes or the like, reducing and, preferably, but without limiting the invention, dispensing with the use of softeners.

[0124] It is also important to note that the equipment (100) of the invention can, in different washing and / or rinsing cycles, promote only acidulation or only alkalin ization of the final fluid (FF), and it is also possible to alternate between acidulation and alkalinization in different wash and / or rinse cycle cycles, depending on the input information provided to the processor (300) by at least one of the condition detectors (400).Method of monitoring and controlling the washing process in equipment (100)

[0125] A method of monitoring and controlling the washing process in a washing equipment (100) of the invention comprises the following method steps:A. Introducing one or more objects to be washed (500) into a washing chamber (110) of a piece of equipment (100);B. Start the operation of the equipment (100) by activating the processor (300) automatically or through an interface (320) of the control unit (310);C. Release, through output instructions from the processor (300), the entry of an initial fluid (Fl) from a water supply source (FA) connected to at least one water inlet pipe (120) of the equipment (100);D. Pass the initial fluid (Fl) through at least one electron trap (200) of the equipment (100), still turned off or not yet energized, allowing the initial fluid (Fl) to enter the washing chamber (110) in the form of a first final fluid (FF1), unchanged in relation to the initial fluid (Fl), and wetting the objects to be washed (500), generating a first contaminated washing water condition, in the form of a first contaminated fluid (FC1), with the soiling of at least part of the objects to be washed (500);E. Carry out, by means of at least one condition detector (400), preferably a first condition detector (401) interconnected with and instructed by the processor (300), a first measurement of the soiling condition of the first contaminated fluid (FC1), sending as input information the results of readings of one or more physical quantities of the first contaminated fluid (FC1) to the processor (300), determining a first dirt condition of the first contaminated fluid (FC1);F. Submitting the input information provided by the first condition detector (401) to a trained neural network of the processor (300), comparing the input information to predetermined ideal conditions stored in the processor memory (300);G. Provide, in response to input information provided by the first condition detector (401), output instructions promoting the activation of the electron trap (200) and the electroenergization of the initial fluid (Fl) according to the electrical potential necessary to establish a triple corrective protocol for the first dirt condition of the first contaminatedfluid (FC1), through acidulation or alkalinization of the initial fluid (Fl) by the electron trap (200) in order to generate a second final fluid (FF2) which, when entering the washing chamber (110) will promote changes in the physical-chemical characteristics of the first contaminated fluid (FC1);H. Carry out, by means of at least one second condition detector (402) interconnected with and instructed by the processor (300), a second measurement of the dirt condition of the second contaminated fluid (FC2), sending as input information the results of the readings of one or more physical quantities of the second contaminated fluid (FC2) to the processor (300), determining a second dirt condition of the second contaminated fluid (FC2);I. Submit the input information provided by the second condition detector (402) to the trained neural network of the processor (300), comparing the input information to predetermined ideal conditions stored in the processor memory (300);J. Provide, in response to input information provided by the second condition detector (402) and / or the first condition detector (401), output instructions promoting the activation of the electron trap (200) and the electroenergization of the initial fluid (Fl) according to the electrical potential necessary to establish a triple corrective protocol for the second dirt condition of the second contaminated fluid (FC2), through acidulation or alkalinization of the initial fluid (Fl) by the electron trap (200) in order to generate a third final fluid (FF3) which, upon enteringthe washing chamber (110), will promotethe change in the physical-chemical characteristics of the second contaminated fluid (FC2);K. Repeat steps E to J until an nthdirt condition of an nthcontaminated fluid (FCn) detected by at least one nthcondition detector (400-n) and / or any of the condition detectors (401, 402, 403, 400-n), promoting the electroenergization of the initial fluid (Fl) to obtain an nthfinal fluid (FFn);L. Provide, through the processor (300), instructions regarding the charge residence time depending on the predetermined ideal conditions, any rotation cycles ("washing") of the washing chamber (110), completion of these steps and disposal of the nthcontaminated fluid (FCn) in the form of a waste fluid (FD); and / orM. Repeat steps A to L for a new cycle of the equipment (100) that requires filling the washing chamber (110) with a washing fluid.

[0126] The steps A and B mark the beginning of the method of monitoring and controlling the washing process in a washing equipment (100) of the invention, remembering that a washing process, according to the invention, comprises all steps and cycles of the equipment (100) necessary to carry out the task of washing and / or sanitizing and / or sterilizing one or more of the objects to be washed (500).

[0127] Step C allows the initial fluid input (IF) from a water supply source (FA) connected to at least one water inlet pipe (120) of the equipment (100), in which the washing water in its initial fluid state (Fl) enters the electron trap. It should be noted that this release of the initial fluid (IF) from the water supply source (FA) can be through a solenoid or mechanical valve with manual orelectrical activation or similar, in a manner known in the state of the art for equipment (100) of the nature discussed here.

[0128] In step D the initial fluid (Fl) passes through the electron trap (200) which may or may not be activated by the processor (300), depending on the programming of the different cycles of the equipment (100), preferably, but without limiting the invention, the trap of electrons (200) turned off during this step.

[0129] The first measurement performed in step E feeds the processor (300) with the results of readings, in the form of input information, of one or more physical quantities of the first contaminated fluid (FC1) to the processor (300), informing the processor (300), for example, but without limit the invention, the turgidity and / or the softness and / or the presence of fat and / or fatty acids and / or the pH and / or the initial temperature and / or the presence of solid bodies and / or the color and / or, eventually, depending on the type of equipment (100), the volume and / or weight of the first contaminated fluid (FC1) and / or the volume of the load and / or the quantity of objects to be washed (500), thus determining, a first dirt condition of the first contaminated fluid (FC1). It is to be noted that the measurement of the soiling condition of the first contaminated fluid (FC1) by a first condition detector (401) can be repeated several times while the first final fluid (FF1) is filling the washing chamber (110). These readings can be taken intermittently at predetermined intervals or continuously, and the activation of the electron trap (200) by the processor (300) can be done in the first stage, that is, before the contaminated fluid level (FC) reaches the second condition detector (402). Furthermore, the first condition detector (401) is interconnected with the processor (300) via a detection wiring (410), which may alternatively, but without limiting the invention, be wireless communication.

[0130] In step F the trained neural network of the processor (300) processes the input information provided by the first condition detector (401), comparing it to the predetermined ideal conditions, supplying in step G, in response to the input information provided by the first condition detector (401), output instructions promoting the activation of the electron trap (200), more precisely, its energization and, thus, the electroenergization of the initial fluid (IF) of according to the electrical potential necessary to establish the triple corrective protocol of the first dirt condition of the first contaminated fluid (FC1), through acidulation or al kal in ization of the initial fluid (Fl) by the electron trap (200) in order to generate a second final fluid (FF2) which, upon entering the washing chamber (110), will promote the change in the physicochemical characteristics of the first contaminated fluid (FC1) and, as the volume of the second final fluid (FF2) increases within from the washing chamber (110) containing the objects to be washed (500), a second contaminated fluid (FC2) will be obtained.

[0131] In stage H, at least one second condition detector (402), also interconnected with the processor (300) by means of a detection wiring (410), but located in a different position and, preferably, slightly above the first condition detector (401), performs a second measurement of the dirt condition of the contaminated fluid (FC), in this case a second contaminated fluid (FC2), sending as input information the results of the readings of one or more physical quantities of the second contaminated fluid (FC2) to the processor (300), informing the processor (300), for example, but without limiting the invention, turgidity and / or softness and / or the presence of fat and / or fatty acids and / or the pH and / or temperature initial and / or the presence of solid bodies and / or the color and / or, eventually, depending on the type of equipment (100), the volume and / or weight of the secondcontaminated fluid (FC2) and / or the volume of the load and / or the quantity of objects to be washed (500), thus determining a second dirt condition of the second contaminated fluid (FC2). It should be noted that the input information for the second contaminated fluid (FC2) can be provided by either the second condition detector (402) or the first condition detector (401) or even by both condition detectors (401, 402), and in the latter case, it can be done an interpolation by the trained neural network. It is also to be noted that measurement of the fouling condition of the second contaminated fluid (FC2) by a second condition detector (402) may be repeated several times as the final second fluid (FF2) fills the wash chamber (110)., which also applies to the case of the first condition detector (401) sending its measurements together with those of the second condition detector (402). These readings can be taken intermittently at predetermined intervals or continuously, and the parameters of the triple corrective protocol applied to the electron trap (200) by the processor (300) can be kept constant until the next step, but can also be changed as needed until the readings of the condition detectors (401, 402) change.

[0132] In stage I the trained neural network of the processor (300) processes the input information provided by the second condition detector (402) and / or the first condition detector (401), comparing it to the predetermined ideal conditions, supplying in step J, in response to input information provided by the second condition detector (402) and / or the first condition detector (401), output instructions promoting the activation of the electron trap (200), more precisely, its energization and, thus, the electroenergization of the initial fluid (Fl) according to the electrical potential necessary to establish the triple corrective protocol of the second dirt condition of the second contaminated fluid (FC2), through acidulation oralkal in ization of the initial fluid (Fl) by the trap of electrons (200) in order to generate a third final fluid (FF3) which, upon entering the washing chamber (110), will promote the change in the physicochemical characteristics of the second contaminated fluid (FC2) and, as the volume of the third final fluid (FF3) increases within the washing chamber (110) containing the objects to be washed (500), a third contaminated fluid (FC3) will be obtained.

[0133] The K step suggests repeating steps E to J, which can be repeated as many times as necessary, for example, but without limiting the invention, until the maximum possible level of fluid within the washing chamber (110) is reached and / or until all objects to be washed (500) are covered with washing fluid, passing, for example, through the reading of at least a third condition detector (403) and / or a second condition detector (420) and / or a first condition detector (410) and submitting its input information to the processor's neural network and so on, up to an nthstep or final step of filling the washing chamber (110). It is to be noted that the nthcondition detector (400-n), as well as the other condition detectors (401, 402, 403,) may comprise at least one maximum level sensor which, in combination with one or more of the other condition detectors (401, 402, 403), informs the processor (300) that the maximum fluid volume and / or weight predicted for the equipment (100) has been reached, in which the processor (300) will generate the output instruction to the entry of the initial fluid (IF) from the water supply source (FA) connected to at least one water inlet pipe (120) of the equipment (100). Furthermore, depending on the readings obtained by the condition detectors (400) regarding turgidity and / or softness and / or the presence of fat and / or fatty acids and / or pH and / or the initial temperature and / or the presence of solid bodies and / or the color and / or volume of the load and / or the quantity of objects to be washed (500), the interruption of filling the washing chamber(110) can occur based on the reading of any one of the condition detectors (401, 402, 403, 400-n), which characterizes another of the advantages of the equipment (100) of the invention: water saving!

[0134] In stage L the equipment (100) receives from the processor (300) instructions regarding the charge residence time depending on the predetermined ideal conditions, any rotation cycles ("washing") of the washing chamber (110), completion of these steps and disposal of the nthcontaminated fluid (FCn) in the form of a waste fluid (FD). After completion of the last electroenergization stage and / or reaching the maximum volume of fluid and / or load inside the washing chamber (110), the processor (300) will generate instructions regarding the load's residence time ("sauce") depending on the predetermined ideal conditions, any rotation cycles ("washing") of the washing chamber (110), completion of these steps and disposal of the nthcontaminated fluid (FCn) in the form of a waste fluid (FD), the disposal being carried out either by gravity or by means of at least a first waste pump (330) and a first suction and outlet pipe (331), the release of the waste fluid being carried out by activating a solenoid or mechanical valve with manual or electrical drive, or similar, in a manner known in the art for equipment (100) of the nature discussed here.

[0135] In stage M, after discarding the waste fluid (FD), there may be a need to repeat the cycle described above one or more times and / or intersperse these cycles with soaking, agitation, rinsing and / or centrifugation cycles and / or other suitable cycles to achieving the predetermined ideal conditions.

[0136] It should be noted that the steps described above must also be carried out in other cycles of the equipment (100) such as, for example, but without limiting the invention, in additional washing cycles, softening cyclesand other cycles that require full filling, or partial of the washing chamber with a washing fluid.

[0137] As previously described, the electron trap (200) of the equipment (100), by electroenergizing the washing water, promotes the electrorepulsion of fats and fatty acids in general, due to the electrostatic effect intensified by the electron trap (200), for example, with the sequestration of electrons stored in the washing water in its contaminated fluid (FC) state within the washing chamber (110) and the objects to be washed (500), forcing a separation of oil and water and, like fats and fatty acids are less dense than the wash water, fats and fatty acids will float on the surface of the wash water.

[0138] Therefore, as the fats and fatty acids will float, it may be necessary to use at least a second disposal pump (340) and a second suction and outlet pipe (341) to remove the floating fatty material, eventually in combination with a centrifuge cycle, in addition to the installation of filters before the entry of the second waste pump (340).

[0139] It is also worth noting that the equipment's electron trap (200), by reducing surface tension, will promote the flocculation and sedimentation of dirt, increasing the possibility of dirt accumulating in the lower or lowest part of the washing chamber (110), it may be necessary, in addition to the first waste pump (330) and the first suction and outlet piping (331), to install filters before the entry of the first waste pump (330).

[0140] It is important to highlight that the equipment (100) of the invention can, in the same washing cycle, promote only the acidulation or only the al kal in ization of the final fluid (FF) that will enter the washing chamber (110), and it is also possible to alternate between the acidulation and alkalinization of the final fluid (FF), depending on the input informationprovided to the processor (300) by at least one of the condition detectors (400).

[0141] It should also be noted that acidulation is especially advantageous in at least one cycle of the equipment (100), for example, but without limiting the invention, in the softening cycle of the objects to be washed (500) when these are clothes or the like, reducing and, preferably, but without limiting the invention, dispensing with the use of softeners.

[0142] It is also important to note that the equipment (100) of the invention can, in different washing and / or rinsing cycles, promote only acidulation or only alkalin ization of the final fluid (FF), and it is also possible to alternate between acidulation and alkalinization in different wash and / or rinse cycle cycles, depending on the input information provided to the processor (300) by at least one of the condition detectors (400).Memory read by computer

[0143] A memory read by a computer is a memory comprising a set of instructions that, when executed, carry out the method of monitoring and controlling the washing process in equipment (100) according to the invention.Uses of electro-energized washing water through an electron trap (200) of equipment (100)

[0144] The use of washing water electroenergized by means of an electron trap (200) of a washing equipment (100) of the invention may be the use of washing water in an equipment (100) configured to wash clothes. It should be noted that equipment (100) of the invention configured for washing clothes can be either equipment (100) with a top opening for feeding objects to be washed (500) (also known as "top loaders") and equipment (100) with a front opening for feeding objects to be washed (500) (also known as "frontloaders") and even equipment (100) with a combination of these forms of opening for feeding objects to be washed (500).

[0145] Other use of washing water electroenergized by means of an electron trap (200) of a washing equipment (100) of the invention may be the use of washing water in an equipment (100) configured for washing dishes.
