Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Einrichtung zum Parfümieren von Wäsche.The present invention relates to a method and a device for perfuming laundry.
Es ist bekannt, daß der Eindruck von Sauberkeit, insbesondere
bei Wäsche, nicht nur über die visuelle Wahrnehmung
wahrgenommen wird, sondern subjektiv auch durch die
Geruchswahrnehmung erfolgt.
Am Beispiel von Wäsche ist festzustellen, daß gut duftende
Wäsche einen weitaus reineren Eindruck macht, als nicht
duftende Wäsche. Daher ist es die weitläufige Praxis,
Wäsche mit einem Duftstoff zu parfümieren.It is known that the impression of cleanliness, especially in laundry, is not only perceived by visual perception, but also subjectively by the perception of smell.
The example of laundry shows that well-scented laundry makes a far purer impression than non-scented laundry. It is therefore common practice to perfume laundry with a fragrance.
Im privaten Bereich erfolgt die Wäscheparfümierung schon dadurch, daß herkömmlichen Waschmitteln ein Duftstoff beigegeben wird, oder aber daß im Nachwaschgang mit Hilfe eines Weich- und Duftspülmittels die Wäsche parfümiert wird.The perfuming of laundry takes place in the private area simply because conventional detergents have a fragrance is added, or that in the post-wash cycle the laundry with the help of a fabric softener and fragrance is perfumed.
Weiterhin ist es bekannt, der Wäsche im Wäschetrockner sogenannte Dufttücher beizugeben, welche mit einem Duftstoff versetzt sind, damit die Wäsche während des Trocknungsvorgangs diesen Duft annimmt.It is also known to wash the laundry in the tumble dryer add so-called scented towels, which with a Fragrance are added so that the laundry during of the drying process takes on this fragrance.
Im gewerblichen Bereich, z.B. in Großwäschereien,
bieten sich die oben genannten Parfümierungsmethoden
nicht an; einmal, da zum Teil Waschmittel verwendet
werden, die nicht parfümiert sind und weiterhin,
weil es wirtschaftlich zu teuer kommt.
Muß die Wäsche auch noch in einen relativ keimfreien
Zustand gebracht werden, so ist es jedem bekannt, daß nach
diesem Sterilisierungsprozess die Wäsche einen unangenehmen
Duft angenommen hat, wie er aus Krankenhäusern, Hotels,
Pflegeheimen und so weiter bekannt ist.The above-mentioned perfuming methods are not suitable in the commercial sector, for example in large laundries; firstly, because some detergents that are not perfumed are used, and still because they are too expensive economically.
If the laundry also has to be brought into a relatively germ-free state, it is known to everyone that after this sterilization process the laundry has taken on an unpleasant scent, as is known from hospitals, hotels, nursing homes and so on.
Bei den gewerblichen verwendeten Großtrocknern ist es wenig sinnvoll, zur Parfümierung der Wäsche Dufttücher zu verwenden, weil einmal die hier verarbeiteten Wäschemengen enorm sind und weiterhin die Trocknertemperaturen wesentlich höher sind, als bei Haushaltstrocknern, so daß sich der Duftstoff durch die Temperatur zersetzen würde.It is little in the commercial large dryers it makes sense to use scented towels to perfume the laundry, because once the amounts of laundry processed here are enormous and furthermore the dryer temperatures are much higher than in household dryers, so that the fragrance through the Temperature would decompose.
Die US-A-3,002,288 zeigt bereits einen Wäschetrockner mit Aerosol-Behälter, bei dem ein Duftstoff in den Raum der Wäschetrommel herum vorzugsweise am Ende des Trocknungsvorganges zur Wäscheparfümierung eingebracht wird, wobei die Dauer der Einwirkung des Duftstoffes nicht näher erläutert wird.US-A-3,002,288 already shows a tumble dryer Aerosol container in which a fragrance enters the room Laundry drum around preferably at the end of the Drying process for perfuming laundry is introduced, the duration of exposure to the fragrance is not closer is explained.
Auch die DE-A-2 823 351 zeigt bereits ein Verfahren zum Konditionieren und Trocknen von Wäsche, bei dem verschiedene Behandlungsstoffe während des Trocknungsvorganges wiederholt eingebracht werden, wobei die Rotation der Trommel unterbrochen wird, sowie das Warmluftgebläse zur Vermeidung von Verlusten des Duftstoffes durch Lufttransport abgeschaltet wird. Dabei wird das Eindüsen des Konditioniermittels auf 10 bis etwa 100 Sprühphasen aufgeteilt, wobei die Dauer einer Sprühphase zwischen einer und zehn Sekunden betragen kann.DE-A-2 823 351 already shows a method for Conditioning and drying laundry in which various Treatment agents repeated during the drying process be introduced, the rotation of the drum interrupted as well as the warm air blower to avoid losses the fragrance is switched off by air transport. Here the conditioner is injected to 10 to about 100 Spray phases divided, the duration of a spray phase can be between one and ten seconds.
Nachteil bei den bisher eingesetzten Verfahren zum parfümieren von Wäsche innerhalb eines Wäschetrockners ist, daß das Einbringen des Duftstoffes zwar am Ende des Trocknungsverfahrens stattfindet, dort jedoch noch relativ hohe Temperaturen herrschen, die sich oberhalb von 60° Celsius bewegen, wodurch durch eine Zersetzung des Duftstoffes durch diese hohen Temperaturen die Verfahren nicht effizient genug sind, oder der Verbrauch des Duftstoffes entsprechend hoch ist, und die Dauer des Parfümierverfahrens dementsprechend lange dauert.Disadvantage with the previously used methods for perfuming of laundry inside a tumble dryer is that Introducing the fragrance at the end of the Drying process takes place, but there is still relatively high Temperatures prevail that are above 60 ° Celsius move, by decomposing the fragrance through these high temperatures make the processes not efficient enough are, or the consumption of the fragrance is correspondingly high, and the duration of the perfume process is accordingly long lasts.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren und eine Einrichtung vorzuschlagen, welches es erlaubt, Wäsche mit einem handelsüblichen Duftstoff zu versetzen, ohne die oben genannten Nachteile in Kauf nehmen zu müssen.The object of the present invention is a method and to propose a facility that allows washing with to put a commercial fragrance without the above to have to accept the disadvantages mentioned.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Hauptanspruches 1 genannten Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved by the im characterizing part of the main claim 1 mentioned features solved.
Wesentliches Merkmal der Erfindung ist, daß der Duftstoff nach dem Trocknungsvorgang in den Trockner eingesprüht wird, um sich so im Wäschegewebe zu verteilen, wobei dies bei einer Temperatur von 60° Celsius in weniger als 3 Minuten erfolgt. Das Einsprühen geschieht hierbei mit einer durch Druckluft beaufschlagten Sprühdüse.An essential feature of the invention is that the fragrance after the drying process is sprayed into the dryer to itself so to distribute in the laundry fabric, this at a Temperature of 60 ° Celsius takes less than 3 minutes. The spraying is done with compressed air acted upon spray nozzle.
Wesentlicher Vorteil ist, daß als Duftstoff nun handelsübliches Parfümöl in konzentrierter Form verwendet werden kann. Das bietet auch den Vorteil, daß die Duftrichtung beliebig ausgewählt werden kann, so daß auch eigene Duftkreationen verwendet werden können. So ist man in der Wahl der Duftrichtung nicht herstellergebunden, wie es z.B. bei Verwendung eines parfümierten Waschmittels der Fall wäre. A major advantage is that the fragrance is now commercially available Perfume oil can be used in a concentrated form. The also offers the advantage that the fragrance direction is arbitrary can be selected so that your own fragrance creations can be used. So you are in the choice of Fragrance not tied to the manufacturer, e.g. at Using a perfumed detergent would be the case.
Weiterhin bietet das erfindungsgemässe Verfahren den Vorteil, daß die Parfümierung der Wäsche am Ende des Trocknungsvorgangs erfolgt, d.h. daß das Parfüm erst am Ende des Reinigungsprozesses in die Wäsche eingebracht wird, und der Duft sich lange in der Wäsche hält.Furthermore, the method according to the invention offers the Advantage that the perfuming of the laundry at the end of Drying process takes place, i.e. that the perfume first introduced into the laundry at the end of the cleaning process and the fragrance stays in the laundry for a long time holds.
Wichtig ist, daß das Parfümöl erst dann eingesprüht wird, wenn die Temperatur im Trockner auf einen Wert unter 60°C heruntergeregelt wurde. Damit ist sichergestellt, daß sich das Parfümöl nicht zersetzt und unwirksam wird, wie es bei zu hoher Temperatur erfolgen würde.It is important that the perfume oil is then sprayed in when the temperature in the dryer reaches a value was reduced below 60 ° C. This ensures that the perfume oil does not decompose and becomes ineffective, as is done at too high a temperature would.
Die Einwirkzeit ist kurz und beträgt etwa 2 - 3 Minuten.
In dieser Zeit läuft die Trocknertrommel, um so das
Parfüm gleichmässig in der Wäsche zu verteilen.
Anschließend kann die Wäsche wie gewohnt entnommen
und ausgeliefert werden.The exposure time is short and is about 2 - 3 minutes. During this time the dryer drum runs in order to distribute the perfume evenly in the laundry.
The laundry can then be removed and delivered as usual.
Dieses Verfahren ist sehr kostengünstig, da handelsübliches
hochkonzentriertes Parfümöl verwendet werden
kann, welches dann durch den Einsprühvorgang sehr fein
in der Wäsche verteilt wird. Dadurch ist es möglich,
daß z.B. für 50 kg Wäsche nur wenige Milliliter Parfümöl
ausreichen, um einen frischen Duft zu erzeugen.
Natürlich kann die Stärke des Wäscheduftes durch die
Einstellung der Einsprühmenge in weiten Grenzen
- je nach Belieben - varriert werden.This process is very cost-effective since commercially available, highly concentrated perfume oil can be used, which is then very finely distributed in the laundry by the spraying process. This makes it possible that, for example, for just 50 kg of laundry, only a few milliliters of perfume oil are sufficient to produce a fresh fragrance.
Of course, the strength of the laundry scent can be varied within wide limits - depending on your preference - by adjusting the spray quantity.
Zur Ausführung des Verfahrens wird eine Einrichtung vorgeschlagen, die mit Druckluft gespeist ist, und über eine Sprühdüse, die im Bereich des Deckels des Trockners angebracht ist, das Parfüm direkt in den Trocknerraum einsprüht. Erfindungsgemäß erfolgt die Zeit- und Duftmengensteuerung über eine elektronische oder mechanische Ablaufsteuerung vorzugsweise über eine SPS-Steuerung. Es ist auch vorgesehen, in Zukunft diese Parfümierungseinrichtung fest im Wäschetrockner zu integrieren und die Ablaufsteuerung für das Parfümieren als festen Bestandteil des Trocknerprogrammes vorzusehen. Diese Erweiterung des Trockners mit einer Parfümierungseinrichtung wäre mit relativ geringem Aufwand verbunden.A facility is used to carry out the procedure proposed that is fed with compressed air, and a spray nozzle in the area of the Lid of the dryer is attached to the perfume directly sprayed into the dryer room. According to the invention time and fragrance volume control via an electronic or mechanical sequence control, preferably via a PLC control. It is also planned to do this in the future Perfuming device firmly in the tumble dryer too integrate and the sequence control for perfuming To be provided as an integral part of the dryer program. This extension of the dryer with a perfume device would involve relatively little effort.

Menge Parfümöl geladen wird.The procedure follows as follows:
After the laundry has dried, the temperature
reduced to less than 60 ° in the drying room,
Meanwhile, the
Ist die gewünschte Temperatur im Trockenraum erreicht,
wird das Parfümöl eingesprüht, wobei die Trommel des
Trockners kontinuierlich umläuft, um so den Duftstoff
gleichmässig in der Wäsche zu verteilen.
Dieser Einwirkungs- und Verteilprozess dauert ca.
2 - 3 Minuten. Danach kann die trockene, parfümierte
Wäsche entnommen und wie gewohnt weiterverarbeitet werden.When the desired temperature in the drying room has been reached, the perfume oil is sprayed in, the drum of the dryer rotating continuously in order to distribute the fragrance evenly in the laundry.
This action and distribution process takes approx. 2-3 minutes. The dry, perfumed laundry can then be removed and processed as usual.
Durch die geringen Mengen verwendeten Parfümöls wurden in einem mehrmonatigen Versuch keine Hautirritationen festgestellt, die von der parfümierten Wäsche herrühren könnten. Allgemein wird die Idee von frischduftender Wäsche gut angenommen, die besonders in Großbetrieben, wie Krankenhäusern, Hotels, Altersheimen und so weiter, für einen frischen Duft sorgt. Due to the small amounts of perfume oil used no skin irritation in a test lasting several months found that come from the scented laundry could. Generally the idea of fresh scented Laundry well accepted, especially in large companies, like hospitals, hotels, retirement homes and so on, ensures a fresh fragrance.
