Abstract: An acceleration sensor for a household device which serves for levelling the appliance and also for weighing the material introduced into the appliance, for example on a laundry unit or crockery and furthermore, in particular for a linen treatment device, for monitoring imbalances. The sensor is based on the principle that a temperature profile, generated by a thermal source, for example, an immersion heater, in a sealed chamber which contains a gas, undergoes a displacement as a result of the acceleration, which is measured by temperature sensors arranged on a flat plate.

Abstract: The invention relates to an acceleration sensor for a household device (20) which serves for levelling the appliance and also for weighing the material introduced into the appliance, for example on a laundry unit or crockery and furthermore, in particular for a linen treatment device, for monitoring imbalances. The sensor is based on the principle that a temperature profile, generated by a thermal source, for example, an immersion heater (5), in a scaled chamber (6) which contains a gas, undergoes a displacement as a result of the acceleration, which is measured by temperature sensors arranged on a flat plate (4).

Abstract: A device detects properties of a textile in appliances for treating textiles is provided. The device is fitted into the appliance. Examples of appliances with which the device can be used include washing machines, laundry dryers, spin dryers, machines for dry cleaning, and machines for dying textiles. The device includes sending element and a receiving element respectively for sending and receiving electromagnetic radiation. The receiving element is connected to an evaluation circuit. The evaluation circuit evaluates the radiation reflected and/or transmitted by the textile to render properties and composition of the textile and filling level of the appliance.
