Abstract
A lifting device for a dishwashing machine includes an electrical drive mechanism constructed to move a dishware receptacle of the dishwashing machine between a start position and an end position. A detection unit detects a current draw of the electrical drive mechanism over a travel distance of the dishware receptacle in the dishwashing machine, and an identification unit identifies a status of the lifting device on the basis of the current draw of the electrical drive mechanism detected over the travel distance.
Claims17
A lifting device for a dishwashing machine, comprising:
- an electrical drive mechanism constructed to move a dishware receptacle of the dishwashing machine between a start position and an end position;
- a detection unit configured to detect a current draw of the electrical drive mechanism over a travel distance of the dishware receptacle in the dishwashing machine;
- and
- an identification unit configured to identify a status of the lifting device on the basis of the current draw of the electrical drive mechanism detected over the travel distance.
A dishwashing machine, comprising:
- a washing container;
- a dishware receptacle configured for arrangement in the washing container;
- and
- a lifting device comprising an electrical drive mechanism constructed to move the dishware receptacle between a start position and an end position, a detection unit configured to detect a current draw of the electrical drive mechanism over a travel distance of the dishware receptacle in the washing container, and an identification unit configured to identify a status of the lifting device on the basis of the current draw of the electrical drive mechanism detected over the travel distance.
A method for operating a lifting device for a dishwashing machine, comprising:
- detecting a travel distance of a dishware receptacle in the dishwashing machine as the dishware receptacle is moved by an electrical drive mechanism of the lifting device between a start position and an end position;
- detecting a current draw of the electrical drive mechanism over the travel distance;
- and
- identifying a status of the lifting device on the basis of the current draw of the electrical drive mechanism detected over the travel distance.
