Laundry treatment machine

For washing laundry machines are known in which the Washing liquor is passed in a continuous cycle through the laundry container. A well-known machine at the washing liquid is moved by a screw that is in one in the middle of the Washing vessel arranged cylinder works is so constructed that the cylinder surrounding the screw on the inside with a single or multi-start nut thread is provided The thread direction is opposite to that of the screw thread. Depending on the direction of rotation, the lye can be sucked off at the bottom and from above onto the laundry clumped together in the washing tub sprayed or, if the suds level is high enough, vacuumed at the top and printed from below into the washing vessel.

their known washing device with a laundry container, durcn the washing liquid together with air by means of a pump is driven through, the laundry container is designed so that it is conical in the direction of the liquid flow tapered and with an intermediate floor perforated over the entire surface is equipped, under which the washing liquid with the Air taken in by it is sucked off by a capsule pump and through a tube over the entire surface of the also in the washing container bundled laundry sq is passed that air is entrained. But these machines are by theirs Structure and because of its mode of action for the treatment of small quantities of laundry made from crease-sensitive fabrics.

The invention relates to a laundry treatment machine for washing, Rinsing and / or drying laundry. According to the invention, a shower device for applying lye to items of laundry suspended on hangers or similar devices is arranged above the highest possible lye level. the end Items to be washed that are susceptible to creasing are subjected to this Way treated extremely gently, as there is no compression or strong mechanical stress. The laundry itself does not lie in that either. Detergent solution, it is supplied with a shower device with a low mechanical component, namely the pressure of the water jets, wetted by the lye and cleaned.

Both for washing and rinsing, but especially for drying The laundry treatment machine is designed in such a way that

builds that shower device and devices for hanging the laundry pieces are arranged in a closed laundry treatment room. In the washing and rinsing process, any spray water is retained, and in the washing and drying process, ineffective heat dissipation from the walls of the wash liquor or drying air to the surrounding space is significantly reduced. A pleasing and practical dimensional shape of the machine according to the invention may then be created when the laundry treatment space as a fla ^r cher, beschickbarer from the front side, is formed with a door-to-occlusive closet .. The lower ^ edge of the door is located above the front upper The suds container can therefore be used with simple means. ^Eg; Magnetic seals on the door. A pressure-tight seal is not necessary because the door only has to hold back splash water. The door can be fitted with a mirror on the front. A light arranged above the door and switch and control devices attached below it, including a socket, give the machine a design that matches the character of the installation room

An embodiment of the invention is constructed so that a over a lower area of the Laundry treatment room, a filter, a pump and the shower device leading and controlled by appropriate control and regulation devices is installed. the collected in the lower area of the laundry treatment room The amount of lye is sucked in by the umpire and passed through a filter, which is advantageously arranged in front of "the pump, transported to the German" ¥ ön there it runs on the ia laundry hand-

Items of laundry hung up in a lung-fringed manner, taking with them the loosened dirt particles, thus completing the cycle. With this lye circulation system, the dirt particles loosened from the laundry are separated in the filter, so that only clean lye is applied to the laundry. The dirt particles have to be removed from the filter body from time to time. For this purpose, a valve body carrying the filter body can be arranged to change the flow direction in the filter in the lye circulation system . For the washing process, the lye is introduced into the valve body at a point that is The lye is conveyed through the filter by the pump and leaves the valve body cleaned at the connection point to the shower device.

The filter body can be removed from the valve body to clean the filter can be removed after opening a cover closing the valve body. Because the valve body is in an easily accessible place in the lower area of the laundry treatment room is arranged, removing and cleaning causes no inconvenience and is without disturbing soiling or pollution of machine and space. The valve body but can also be adjustable for cleaning the filter, so that cold water coming from the mains is on the clean side of the filter and enters the sewer via the side on which the dirt particles have accumulated. The water flowing in under pressure therefore cleans the filter thoroughly if necessary. If the valve body with a removable lid, through the opening the required amount of detergent in the valve body before the washing process

be filled. The detergent is then on the clean Filter side and is carried away by the circulating lye. It can of course also be given directly to the laundry treatment room will. - -

Through an overflow connected to the sewer the highest possible lye level in the lye container is specified. Leakage of the Viaschiauge due to the not pressure resistant closing door is made impossible from the start. The shower device can be designed as a rotating slot nozzle be. A particularly uniform application can thereby be achieved of the items to be washed with the detergent solution. The shower device can also be moved for the same purpose Be equipped with nozzles. Purely for the treatment of those who are less sensitive to creasing and even heavily soiled fabrics, the device for hanging up the items of laundry can be adjusted beforehand Move amplitude up and down. The items to be washed lead the way a movement corresponding to the movement when washing by hand in the lower area, which also serves as a suds container of the laundry treatment room.

In preferred embodiments of the invention, washed, and then rinsed laundry in the same laundry treatment room to be dried. Also laundry washed elsewhere that only needs to be dried, this can be done in such a Machine are introduced. Pure drying air circulation Inlet and outlet openings can be found in the washing treatment room be arranged. The drying air can preferably from

In the case of an embodiment of the type described last, it is also possible the drying device also simultaneously or alone as Use space heating. '

While the machine does not have the features described above for can be used advantageously, there is another Advantage when this is combined with a hand wash basin and its installations to a.

The same applies to those who are not ait a hand basin combined machine. With a washing column the puncture parts of the laugenural system and the drying device be arranged at least partially below the hand wash basin.

the lye reaches the laundry not shown in the figure into the tub 8, the lower part of the laundry treatment room 1. From there, the lye is sucked off by the pump 6 and conveyed back to the shower device 2 through the filter 3. At the beginning of the washing process, warm water is generated from a water heater 21 by opening the hot water valve 9 given into the Ural river system. An Ihermostat 12 monitors the Suds temperature. Through "overflow 16 is the largest possible circulation range in lye circulation system is determined by the fact that the Inlet opening is arranged at a corresponding height. The overflow 16 is directly connected to the sewer line 15. For cleaning purposes of the filter, the adjustment device 14 for the valve body carrying the filter body preferably simultaneously actuated with the filter cleaning valve 10. Through the Adjustment of the valve body changes the direction of flow in the filter body upside down and flushed the dirt particles retained by the filter directly into the sewer '15. At The end of the washing process or the individual rinse cycles will be Drain valve 1t opened, which also opens into the sewer line 15.
