(57) Method for the programming-timing of electrical household machines, advantageously
dishwasher machines, the method being associated with a programmer-timer comprising
at least mechanical main cam means (11), with relative tracks, together with rotary
positioner motor means (13) for the definition of the cycles and specific functions
of the dishwasher machine, at least printed circuit means (15) being included and
having specialized multiple circumferential tracks, these printed circuit means cooperating
and being advantageously coaxial with the mechanical main cam means, these specialized
tracks of the printed circuit means being suitable to cooperate by sliding with brushes
(16) that transfer and receive current, the brushes being capable of a relative circumferential
movement in relation to the printed circuit means, the printed circuit means being
connected electrically to at least one electronic card, the motor means that drive
the main cam displacing that cam with a step-by-step movement to the desired function
and displace the relative brushes on the specific contact/contacts of the printed
circuit and then halt, the main cam thus displaced step-by-step activating the specific
power contact, the contacts on the printed circuit connecting together two or more
outputs of first electronic counter means with a plurality of outputs, each with determined
times, the summation of the connected outputs defining the overall time of halting
of the motor means driving the main cam and therefore the duration of the specific
function. Programmer/timer for electrical household machines, advantageously dishwasher
type machines, which comprises at least mechanical main cam means, with relative tracks,
together with rotary positioner motor means for the definition of the cycles and specific
functions of the dishwasher machine, at least printed circuit means being included
and having specialized multiple circumferential tracks, these printed circuit means
cooperating and being advantageously coaxial with the mechanical main cam means, these
specialized tracks of the printed circuit means being suitable to cooperate by sliding
with brushes that transfer and receive current, the brushes being capable of a relative
circumferential movement in relation to the printed circuit means, the printed circuit
means being connected electrically to at least one electronic card (18), the electronic
card including at least first electronic counter means with a plurality of specialized
outputs with determined times, the specialized tracks of the printed circuit including
specific segments (28) associated univocally with the circumferential position of
the main cam, the main cam advancing with a step-by-step movement, the circumferential
position of the main cam defining the specific function activated, the specific segments
of the specialized tracks connecting together two or more specialized outputs of the
first electronic counter means so as to determine the period of duration of the halting
between one step-by-step movement and another and therefore of the specific function.
