Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/032181
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An allocation control system for using an allocation component of a refrigerating appliance to fill a container, and an operating method therefor. The allocation control system comprises a transmitter (214) configured to generate an energy beam (218) and a scanning component (230) configured to selectively guide the energy beam (218) along a scanning path comprising a plurality of scanning positions. A receiver (216) detects the energy beam (218) reflected by a container or liquid at each of the plurality of scanning positions, and a controller determines the height of the container or liquid at each of the plurality of scanning positions at least partially on the basis of a time for the energy beam (218) to travel between the transmitter (214) and the receiver (216).
