Abstract

Only washing machines or dishwashers which feed the rinsing water directly to the drain have hitherto been known. Statistical investigations have shown that approximately 25 % of private drinking-water consumption is used for washing machines and a further 25 % for toilets. Approximately 10 % of drinking water is required for rinsing, inter alia for dishwashers, and cleaning. The invention makes it possible to convey the washing liquor of washing machines and dishwashers into the drain, as hitherto, and to store the rinsing water completely or partially and utilise it in a secondary way for toilets. These machines have an electronic control technique which allows the manual preselection of the rinsing cycle, starting from which the rinsing water is to be stored, or which, depending on temperature or soiling, automatically feed the rinsing water no longer to the drain, but via a second waste-water connection to a collecting tank. This is designed as a large-volume toilet cistern. The invention can be employed for washing machines and dishwashers for domestic and industrial use.

Description

Bisher sind nur Waschmaschinen und Geschirrspülmaschinen be­ kannt, die das Spülwasser direkt dem Abfluß zuführen. Stati­ stischen Erhebungen zufolge werden ca. 25% des privaten Trinkwasserverbrauchs für Waschmaschinen sowie weitere 25% für WC verwendet. Für Spülen, u. a. für Geschirrspülmaschinen, und Putzen werden ca. 10% des Trinkwassers benötigt.So far, only washing machines and dishwashers are knows that feed the rinse water directly to the drain. Status According to statistical surveys, around 25% of private Drinking water consumption for washing machines and another 25% used for toilet. For rinsing, etc. a. for dishwashers, and cleaning about 10% of the drinking water is required.

Die Erfindung ermöglicht es, die Waschlauge wie bisher in den Abfluß zu fördern und das Spülwasser ganz oder teilweise zu speichern und sekundär für WC zu nutzen. Diese Maschinen weisen eine elektronische Steuerungstechnik auf, die manuell durch Vorwahl des gewünschten Spülganges oder automatisch durch Messung der Temperatur oder der Verschmutzung des Spülwassers dessen Speicherung über einen zusätzlichen Ab­ wasseranschluß in einem Auffangbehälter regelt. Der Behälter kann als großvolumiger WC-Spülkasten ausgeführt sein.The invention makes it possible to wash the washing liquor in as before to promote the drain and the rinse water in whole or in part to save and use secondary for toilet. These machines have electronic control technology that is manual by preselecting the desired rinse cycle or automatically by measuring the temperature or the pollution of the Rinsing water its storage via an additional Ab regulates the water connection in a container. The container can be designed as a large-volume toilet cistern.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen darin, daß ein großer Teil des für Waschmaschinen und Geschirrspülma­ schinen benötigten Trinkwassers sekundär für WC genutzt und damit der Wasserverbrauch für die Toilettenspülung wesent­ lich eingeschränkt wird. Damit fällt auch weniger Abwasser an, wodurch sich das zu entsorgende Volumen verringert. Das Spülwasser aus Waschmaschinen hat mit seinem Restgehalt an Lauge auch eine bessere reinigende und keimtötende Wirkung als reines Trinkwasser.The advantages achieved with the invention are that a large part of that for washing machines and dishwashing machines drinking water needed for toilets and so the water consumption is essential for flushing the toilet is restricted. This means that less waste water falls which reduces the volume to be disposed of. The Rinsing water from washing machines has a residual content Alkali also has a better cleaning and germicidal effect as pure drinking water.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel wird nachfolgend für eine Waschma­ schine mit manueller Vorwahl des gewünschten Spülganges, ab welchem das Spülwasser gespeichert werden soll, beschrieben: Die Waschmaschine weist eine elektronische Steuerung, ein elektromagnetisches 3-Wegeventil für 2 Abwasserleitungen und eine Bedieneinheit mit einem zusätzlichen Schalter auf. An embodiment is shown below for a washing machine machine with manual preselection of the desired wash cycle to which the rinse water should be stored: The washing machine has an electronic control electromagnetic 3-way valve for 2 sewage pipes and an operating unit with an additional switch.  

Mit diesem Schalter kann der gewünschte Spülgang gewählt werden, ab welchem das Spülwasser gespeichert werden soll. Die elektronische Steuerung ist so ausgelegt, daß mit Wahl eines beliebigen Spülganges alle nachfolgenden Spülgänge dieses Waschzyklus nicht mehr dem Abfluß sondern durch das 3-Wegeventil dem Auffangbehälter zugeleitet und gespeichert werden. Dieser Behälter ist an der Wand befestigt und dient als großvolumiger WC-Spülkasten. Am Behälter befinden sich 4 oder 5 Anschlüsse für die Zu- und Ableitungen:With this switch the desired rinse cycle can be selected from which the rinse water should be stored. The electronic control is designed so that with choice any subsequent rinse cycle all subsequent rinse cycles this washing cycle is no longer the drain but by the 3-way valve fed to the collecting tank and stored become. This container is attached to the wall and serves as a large-volume toilet cistern. There are 4 on the container or 5 connections for the supply and discharge lines:

  • 1. Ein Anschluß für die Zuleitung des Spülwassers von der Wasch- oder Geschirrspülmaschine. Sollen beide Haushaltma­ schinen angeschlossen werden, sind 2 Anschlüsse notwendig, in beide Zuleitungen wären in diesem Fall Rückschlagventile einzusetzen. Der Austritt des Spülwassers im Behälter ist so angeordnet, daß ein Leerlaufen des Behälters durch Leckstel­ len in der Leitung oder über die Maschine nicht möglich ist.1. A connection for the supply of the rinse water from the Washing machine or dishwasher. Should both household 2 connections are necessary, check valves would be in both supply lines in this case to use. This is how the rinsing water escapes in the tank arranged that the container runs dry due to leakage len in the line or over the machine is not possible.
  • 2. Ein Anschluß für die mit einem Kugelventil verschlossene Fallrohrleitung zum Spülbecken. Die WC-Spülwassermenge kann durch das Kugelventil gut dosiert werden.2. A connection for the closed with a ball valve Down pipe to the sink. The amount of toilet flushing water can can be dosed well through the ball valve.
  • 3. Ein Anschluß für die Überlaufleitung, die größer als die Zuleitung dimensioniert und im Behälter tiefer als letztere angeordnet ist, um mit Sicherheit bei vollem Behälter zuge­ leitetes Spülwasser abzuführen. Der Überlauf ist zwischen Kugelventil und WC-Spülbecken in die Fallrohrleitung einge­ bunden, so daß überschüssiges Spülwasser durch das WC ab­ fließen kann.3. A connector for the overflow line that is larger than that Supply line dimensioned and deeper in the tank than the latter is arranged to with certainty when the container is full to drain the rinsing water. The overflow is between Ball valve and toilet sink in the down pipe bound so that excess rinse water from the toilet can flow.
  • 4. Ein Anschluß für Trinkwasser mit Schwimmerschaltung, wie bei Spülkästen üblich. Damit wird ständig ein Mindestwasser­ stand im Auffangbehälter und die WC-Spülung gesichert. Im Behälterdeckel befindet sich eine Entlüftungsöffnung für den Druckausgleich beim Füllen und Leeren des Behälters. Der Auffangbehälter hat ein Fassungsvermögen von ca. 100 l, steht aber auch in anderen Baugrößen und geometrischen Bau­ formen für verschiedene Einbauverhältnisse und Anwendungsbe­ dingungen zur Verfügung.4. A connection for drinking water with float circuit, such as usual for cisterns. This is a constant minimum water stood in the container and the toilet flush secured. There is a ventilation opening in the container lid for pressure equalization when filling and emptying the container. The collecting container has a capacity of approx. 100 l, is also available in other sizes and geometric construction shapes for different installation conditions and applications conditions available.
