Description

Washing installation The invention relates to a washing installation with several, preferably three washing machines arranged one behind the other, of which each consists of a heated, tubular shaped washing drum through which the liquor and laundry can be passed through.

Tubular washing machines and in-line washing systems are known, which are operated either continuously or only in batches. It will With the continuous washing system, the items to be washed are placed on one side in the washing drum continuously introduced, by means of a mechanical device through the drum passed through and washed.

and rinsed, the laundry is discharged at the other end of the drum.

In the batch washing system, the items to be washed become Example pre-washed in the first machine and by means of a mechanical device, e.g. tilting device, wet transported (turned over) into the second machine, in which the final wash takes place. From this machine, the laundry is also with a mechanically actuated device folded wet into the next machine. In the end the items to be washed arrive in the spin dryer, rinsed and wet.

The object of the invention is to create a washing system with which can be worked both continuously and in batches, and the from the Henköminlichen systems of this type by low water, detergent and Advantageously differentiates energy consumption.

This object is achieved in that between the individual washing machines have dewatering devices arranged for the laundry, which with the washing drums arranged on both sides, for example via conveyor belts or similar, and that that of the pressed laundry Liquor or the rinsing water in the standing in front of the respective dewatering device Washing drum can be introduced.

In a further embodiment of the inventive concept, each washing drum is tiltable towards the discharge end.

The possibility of tilting the washing drum results in the setting of a slight inclination of the drum during continuous washing, i.e. in a continuous process, while the washing drum is stored horizontally in the batch washing process and then tilted towards the discharge end to remove the laundry can be.

In both cases, both in the continuous and in the batch washing process, there is the advantage that the laundry is squeezed out, so only gets from one machine to the other with a small amount of liquor.

Furthermore, in this washing line during the continuous washing process items of the same type of laundry continuously one after the other and during the batch washing process on the other hand, different types of laundry (white laundry, Colored laundry, etc.) can also be washed and rinsed one after the other.

Another advantage of the arrangement according to the invention is that that the laundry is not only squeezed from one machine to another, but also at the end of the car wash rinsed and leaves pressed.

The individual washing machines can also work in countercurrent principle, by continuously adding clear water to one side of the drum and adding it the detergent and consumption of the resulting liquor after the washing process is discharged on the opposite side of the washing machine. The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. In the drawing Figures 1 and 3 each show a washing machine with a conveyor belt or similar; urd half drainage device in view, these parts at Aeininderreihun FIGS. 1 to 3 show the washing system according to the invention.

Each washing machine has a washing drum 1, which in the direction the discharge end of the laundry is tiltable.

In batch operation, the drum 1 is after the washing process Tilted into the inclined position for the purpose of emptying or discharging the laundry.

The laundry is the drum shown in Figure 1 of the drawing 1 supplied via a conveyor chute 2 and the like. With 3 is a detergent container denotes, from which via the line 4 is fed into the washing drum 1 detergent will.

This detergent mixes with the clear water that has passed through the Bedding 5 is fed to the discharge end of the washing drum 1. The heating of the drum 1 is expediently carried out with steam, which via line 6 in a double jacket or similar to the drum 1 is initiated.

The dirty liquor is discharged from the drum 1 via the line 7. The liquor can be fed to a sink or completely or can be partially regenerated by placing them in the associated washing drum 1 again is introduced.

There is a drainage device between each washing machine for the laundry, e.g. a throughfeed press 8, the press rollers of which are mounted relative to one another are adjustable. The connection between each dewatering device 8 and the washing machines arranged on both sides create transport devices, e.g. conveyor belts or similar 9, ok.

The liquor or water withdrawn from the pressed laundry can thereby be introduced into a washing drum in front of it via the line 11.

The pre-washed laundry is transported on the conveyor belt 9 or similar fed from the washing drum 1 of the dewatering device 8 (Fig. 1), pressed out and via the conveyor belt 10 or similar (FIG. 2) to the next washing drum 1 in which the main wash process is carried out.

From the washing drum 1 (Fig. 2) the items to be washed reach the Conveyor belt 9 or similar in the drainage device 8, where the laundry in turn pressed and on the conveyor belt 10 or similar (Fig. 3) in the next washing drum 1 is transported where the rinsing process takes place. In this case too, the Liquor withdrawn from laundry or the water via line 11 into the front of the dewatering device 8 horizontal washing drums 1 (Fig. 2 or Fig. 3) initiated.

Then the washed items are transported over the conveyor belt 9 or similar to the last dewatering device 8, which the laundry then rinsed and squeezed out.

The invention is by no means limited to that shown in the drawing Limited to three washing machines and three drainage devices. Much more it is within the scope of the invention, the number of these elements and thus also the to change individual work processes as required.

It is also easily possible to carry out the individual work processes to be programmed and controlled electronically.

Further savings in water, detergent and energy can be achieved through Regeneration of the liquor can be achieved.
