Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Wäschetrockner oder Waschautomaten gemäss Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a clothes dryer or washing machines according to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Geräte werden verwendet, um Wäsche zu waschen oder zu trocknen. Sie sind ausgestaltet mit Mitteln, um der Wäsche Wasser zu entziehen. In Waschautomaten handelt es sich dabei in der Regel um ein Schleuderprogramm, bei welchem die Wäsche zentrifugiert wird. In Wäschetrocknern wird der Wäsche zum Entwässern normalerweise Trockenluft zugeführt.Such devices are used to do laundry wash or dry. They are designed with Means to remove water from the laundry. In washing machines it is usually a spin program, at which the laundry is centrifuged. In tumble dryers, laundry is usually used for dewatering Dry air supplied.

In beiden Fällen ist es wichtig, dass die Wäsche möglichst wenig zerknittert wird. Es stellt sich deshalb die Aufgabe, einen Wäschetrockner oder Waschautomaten bereitzustellen, bei dem die Wäsche bei der Entnahme möglichst wenig zerknittert ist.In both cases it is important to do the laundry is crumpled as little as possible. It turns out hence the task of a clothes dryer or washing machine Provide the laundry when it is removed is crumpled as little as possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird vom Wäschetrockner bzw. vom Waschautomaten gemäss Anspruch 1 erfülltThe tumble dryer or fulfilled by the washing machine according to claim 1

Erfindungsgemäss ist der Wäschetrockner bzw. Waschautomat also so ausgestaltet, dass nach dem Entzug von Wasser die Wäsche mit Dampf beaufschlagt wird. Es zeigt sich, dass hierdurch Knitter reduziert werden können, und zwar schon mit Dampfmengen, die im Vergleich zu der der Wäsche entzogenen Wassermenge gering sind.According to the invention, the tumble dryer or Washing machine designed so that after withdrawal water is applied to the laundry with steam. It shows that this can reduce creases, and even with amounts of steam compared to the amount of water extracted from the laundry is small.

Mit dem Dampf können die Wäsche und das Gerät gleichzeitig auch entkeimt werden. Vorzugsweise soll dabei die Temperatur der zu entkeimenden Teile mindestens 60°C erreichen. Hierzu ist, je nach Aufbau des Geräts, typischerweise eine Wassertemperatur von mindestens 70°C, in der Regel mindestens 80°C notwendig.With the steam, the laundry and the device can also be sterilized at the same time. Preferably, it should the temperature of the parts to be sterilized at least Reach 60 ° C. Depending on the structure of the device, typically a water temperature of at least 70 ° C, usually at least 80 ° C necessary.

Besonders zweckmässig wird die Erfindung bei Geräten eingesetzt, bei denen der Wäsche durch Zentrifugieren ("Schleudern") Wasser entzogen wird. Dabei entstehen Falten, die durch den Dampf wieder entfernt werden können. The invention is particularly useful in Appliances used in which the laundry is centrifuged ("Spin") water is withdrawn. This creates Wrinkles that are removed by the steam can.

Weitere bevorzugte Ausführungen sowie Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Ansprüchen sowie der nun folgenden Beschreibung anhand der Figur. Dabei zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 einen Schnitt durch einen stark vereinfacht dargestellten Waschautomaten.
    • Further preferred embodiments and advantages of the invention emerge from the dependent claims and the following description based on the figure. It shows:
  • Fig. 1 shows a section through a washing machine shown in a highly simplified manner.

    • Der in Fig. 1 dargestellte Waschautomat besitzt ein Gehäuse 1, in welchem eine Trommel 2 mit ungefähr horizontaler Drehachse angeordnet ist. Die Trommel 2 bildet das Gefäss zum Aufnehmen der zu waschenden Wäsche. Sie ist wasserdurchlässig und in einem wasserdichten Bottich 3 angeordnet. Zum Zuführen und Abführen von Wasser sind Leitungen 5, 6 vorgesehen, welche mit einem elektrisch gesteuerten Ventil 7 und einer Ablaufpumpe 8 versehen sind. Ein Motor 9 dient zum Drehen der Trommel.The washing machine shown in Fig. 1 has a housing 1 in which a drum 2 with approximately horizontal axis of rotation is arranged. The drum 2 forms the receptacle for the laundry to be washed. It is permeable to water and in a watertight tub 3 arranged. For supplying and removing water lines 5, 6 are provided, which with an electrical controlled valve 7 and a drain pump 8 provided are. A motor 9 is used to rotate the drum.

    Zum Steuern des Waschautomaten ist eine Steuerung 10 vorgesehen. Diese ist in der Lage, die oben erwähnten Komponenten aufgrund von Vorgaben des Benutzers in konventioneller Weise und durch Auswertung von Sensorik-Signalen zu steuern.To control the washing machine is one Control 10 provided. This is able to do the above mentioned components based on user specifications in a conventional manner and by evaluating sensor signals to control.

    Bei einem typischen Waschvorgang wird Wäsche in die Trommel 2 eingebracht. Diese wird unter Zugabe von Wasser und Waschmitteln und unter Drehen der Trommel 2 gewaschen. Dabei wird soviel Wasser 11 in den Bottich 3 eingefüllt, dass sich zumindest der untere Teil der Trommel im Wasser befindet und die Wäsche benetzt wird. Zum Aufheizen des Wassers auf eine gewünschte Waschtemperatur ist am Boden des Bottichs 3 eine Heizung 12 vorgesehen.A typical washing process is laundry introduced into the drum 2. This is done by adding Water and detergent and while rotating the drum 2 washed. There is so much water 11 in the tub 3 filled that at least the lower part of the drum in the water and the laundry is wetted. To the Heating the water to a desired washing temperature a heater 12 is provided at the bottom of the tub 3.

    Nach dem Waschen wird, soweit der Benutzer dies verlangt hat, die Wäsche geschwungen, d.h. es wird der Wäsche durch schnelles Drehen der Trommel 2 Wasser entzogen.After washing, as far as the user this has required swinging the laundry, i.e. it will the laundry by quickly turning the drum 2 water withdrawn.

    Nach dem Schleudern wird die Trommel 2 langsam abwechslungsweise in beide Richtungen gedreht ("reversiert"). Da die Trommel eine im wesentlichen horizontale Drehachse besitzt, wird dabei die Wäsche aufgelokkert. After spinning, the drum 2 becomes slow alternately rotated in both directions ("reversed"). Because the drum is essentially horizontal The laundry is loosened.

    Nach dem Schleudern der Wäsche wird in den Bottich 2 wieder Wasser eingelassen, und zwar so, dass die Wäsche dabei nicht benetzt wird. In dem in Fig. 1 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist hierzu eine separate zweite Zufuhrleitung 13 mit Steuerventil 14 vorgesehen, die in einen unteren Bereich des Bottichs 3 mündet. Es wird soviel Wasser eingelassen, dass die Heizung 12 bedeckt ist, der Wasserpegel 14 jedoch noch unterhalb der Trommel 2 liegt.After spinning the laundry is in the Tub 2 let in water again, so that the laundry is not wetted. In the in Fig. 1st The illustrated embodiment is a separate one second supply line 13 provided with control valve 14, which opens into a lower area of the tub 3. So much water is let in that the heating 12 is covered, but the water level 14 is still below the Drum 2 lies.

    Sodann wird das Wasser mit der Heizung 12 aufgeheizt, und zwar mindestens auf 40°C, vorzugsweise auf mindestens 70°C, so dass es zu einer Dampfentwicklung im Bottich 3 kommt. Der Dampf dringt in die Trommel 2 ein und beaufschlagt die Wäsche.Then the water with the heater 12 heated, at least to 40 ° C, preferably to at least 70 ° C so that there is a generation of steam comes in vat 3. The steam penetrates the drum 2 and loads the laundry.

    Während der Bedampfung der Wäsche wird die Trommel vorzugsweise weiter reversiert, so dass die Wäsche möglichst gleichmässig bedampft wird. Dabei glätten sich Knitter. Gleichzeitig werden die Wäsche, die Trommel 2 und der Bottich 3 entkeimt, was insbesondere dann wichtig ist, wenn die Wäsche nur mit 40°C oder weniger gewaschen wurde. Dabei wird weniger Wasser und Energie benötigt als bei konventionellen Entkeimungsprogrammen.During the steaming of the laundry Drum preferably reverses further so that the laundry is vaporized as evenly as possible. Smooth it out themselves creases. At the same time, the laundry, the drum 2 and the vat 3 sterilizes, which is particularly important then is when the laundry is only washed at 40 ° C or less has been. Less water and energy is needed than with conventional disinfection programs.

    Wenn eine effiziente Entkeimung gewünscht wird, sollten die zu entkeimenden Teile mindestens eine Temperatur von 60°C erreichen. Hierzu muss das Wasser am Boden des Bottichs 3 je nach Konstruktion und Grösse des Geräts in der Regel auf mindestens ca. 70°C, oftmals sogar auf mindestens 80°C, aufgeheizt werden.If efficient disinfection is required the parts to be sterilized should have at least one Reach temperature of 60 ° C. To do this, the water on Bottom of the vat 3 depending on the construction and size of the Device to at least about 70 ° C, often even be heated to at least 80 ° C.

    Die Bedampfung dauert vorzugsweise zwischen 5 und 20 Minuten. Danach wird die Heizung 12 abgeschaltet und das Wasser wird abgepumpt. Nach einer Abkühlphase (während der die Wäsche weiter reversiert werden kann) ist der Vorgang beendet und die Tür des Waschautomaten kann freigegeben werden.Steaming preferably lasts between 5 and 20 minutes. The heater 12 is then switched off and the water is pumped out. After a cooling phase (during which the laundry can be reversed further) the process is finished and the door of the washing machine can be released.

    All diese Abläufe werden von der Steuerung 10 kontrolliert und überwacht. All of these processes are controlled by the controller 10 controlled and monitored.

    Es zeigt sich, dass mit der hier beschriebenen Vorrichtung Knitter reduziert werden können, insbesondere in Mischgeweben und synthetischen Geweben, sowie bei besonders feinfadigen Geweben, z.B. Kaschmir. Dennoch wird der Wassergehalt der Wäsche durch die Bedampfung nicht übermässig erhöht, insbesondere wenn die Wäsche mit Schleuderzahlen von höchstens 1000 min-1 geschleudert wurde.It has been shown that the device described here can reduce creases, in particular in blended fabrics and synthetic fabrics, and also in particularly fine-thread fabrics, for example cashmere. Nevertheless, the water content of the laundry is not excessively increased by the vaporization, especially if the laundry was spun with a maximum spin speed of 1000 min -1 .

    Die zum Bedampfen benötigte Wassermenge ist gering. Um den Wasserverbrauch zu minimieren, kann auch Spülwasser aus dem letzten Spülgang in einem geeigneten Ausweichgefäss zurückbehalten und zum Bedampfen wieder in den Bottich 3 gepumpt werden. In diesem Fall kann die Zufuhrleitung 13 für Frischwasser entfallen.The amount of water required for steaming is low. To minimize water consumption, too Rinse water from the last rinse in a suitable one Retain the reserve tank and put it back in for steaming the tub 3 are pumped. In this case, the supply line 13 for fresh water.

    Im dargestellten Beispiel wird die Heizung 12, welche auch beim Waschen zum Heizen des Wassers verwendet wird, als Bedampfungseinrichtung eingesetzt. Es ist jedoch auch denkbar, eine separate Bedampfungseinrichtung bereitzustellen, die z.B. ausserhalb des Bottichs 3 angeordnet werden kann.In the example shown, the heating 12, which is also used for heating the water during washing is used as a vaporization device. It However, a separate vapor deposition device is also conceivable to provide e.g. outside the vat 3 can be arranged.

    Nebst dem Glätten von Knittern kann mit der hier beschriebenen Bedampfung, wie bereits erwähnt, auch eine Entkeimung durchgeführt werden. Es kann deshalb sinnvoll sein, die Bedampfung im Rahmen eines Hygieneprogramms auch nur zur Entkeimung an der leeren Trommel durchzuführen.In addition to smoothing creases, the Evaporation described here, as already mentioned, also disinfection can be carried out. It can therefore Steaming should make sense as part of a hygiene program also only for disinfection on the empty drum perform.

    Obwohl Waschautomaten das bevorzugte Anwendungsgebiet der Erfindung sind, kann die Erfindung auch bei Wäschetrocknern eingesetzt werden. Diese Geräte besitzen normalerweise ebenfalls eine Trommel, die als Gefäss für die Wäsche dient und in welche Trockenluft zum Trocknen der Wäsche eingeführt wird. Auch hier kann nach dem Trocknen die Wäsche bedampft werden, wobei ein separater Dampferzeuger vorzusehen ist. Dieser erzeugt Dampf, der in die Trommel eingeblasen wird. Dabei wird die Wäsche vorzugsweise wiederum bewegt, um eine gleichmässige Bedampfung sicherzustellen. Vorzugsweise wird der Dampf von unten in die Trommel eingeblasen, so dass er durch die Wäsche hindurch treten muss.Although washing machines are the preferred area of application of the invention, the invention can also be used in tumble dryers. Own these devices usually also a drum that acts as a vessel for the laundry and in which dry air for Drying the laundry is introduced. Here, too, can drying the laundry can be steamed, with a separate Steam generator is to be provided. This creates steam, which is blown into the drum. Doing the laundry preferably in turn moved to an even one Ensure vaporization. Preferably the steam blown into the drum from below so that it passes through the laundry has to pass through.

    Auch bei Wäschetrocknern können mit der Erfindung Knitter reduziert werden, insbesondere bei feinfadigen Geweben, z.B. Kaschmir, und es kommt zu einer Entkeimung. Gleichzeitig wird die Trocknung vergleichmässigt, d.h. der Trocknungsgrad ist über die ganze Wäsche ungefähr homogen.The invention can also be used in tumble dryers Wrinkles can be reduced, especially with fine-thread Fabrics, e.g. Cashmere and it comes to one Disinfection. At the same time, the drying is evened out, i.e. the degree of drying is all over the wash approximately homogeneous.
