Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for washing curtains of all kinds, e.g. Vertical slats, curtains and the like according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such facilities are mainly used in the service sector of home care.
- Devices for washing vertical slats in the hanging state are known and basically consist of a washing container standing on the floor with supply devices and a spray head which is suspended at the upper end of the vertical slats and connected to the washing container via feed lines.
- the spray head and the slats pushed together on the block are covered by a film tube to protect the environment.
- the washing liquid is conveyed from the washing tank via the feed line to the spray head, where it emerges under pressure and hits the fins.
- the washing liquid runs down inside the film tube and is collected via a drip pan or directly from the washing container and made available again for the washing process.
- Different types of spray heads are now known.
- EP 352 496 B1 shows a nozzle assembly that is hooked into the running rail. This nozzle assembly is designed as a flat plate, has a large number of horizontal supply channels and vertical nozzle bores and is arranged between the curtain and the running rail, so that the jets of detergent hit slats from above.
- this nozzle assembly cannot be manufactured or cannot be used due to the small space between the slats and the running rail.
- This spray device is placed on top of the vertical slats so that the detergent jets hit the vertical slats laterally. This spray device is quite compact and solid.
- Another disadvantage is the structural width of the individual nozzle strips. This width, in conjunction with the invariable width of the spray device, leads to a relatively small free space between the two nozzle strips. This makes it difficult to wash vertical slats with a larger width.
- a major disadvantage of washing devices with spray devices that can be placed on them is that they can only be used for vertical slats. This means that curtains and drapes cannot be washed due to the lack of overlay.
- the invention eliminates the disadvantages of the prior art mentioned.
- the spray device is placed on the slats or carried by an external holding device alone.
- This holding device which can consist of a height-adjustable telescopic rod or an operable suction holder, finally eliminates the risk that the running track will tear out of its anchoring or that the relatively thin rollers for the curtains will tear off because of the wet condition of the curtains and the relatively heavy Spray device with the two supply hoses and the film tube have a considerable mass and use the brackets excessively.
- the dimensional coordination between the width and the height of the nozzle strips is also of great advantage.
- the screw connection for the separate line connection and its arrangement on the front side which is only possible with conventional spraying devices, required a width / height ratio of 1: 1.
- the use of an adapter for each end connection or the direct side connection to the nozzle strips allows a free design of the width of the nozzle strip. This considerably widens the space between the nozzle strips, which also makes it possible, for example, to wash vertical fins with a larger width.
- the invention will be further illustrated by an exporting ⁇ approximate example below.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic illustration of a washing machine with a collecting trough
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a spray device
- FIG. 1 shows a partial view of the spray device
- FIG. 1 shows a side view of the spray device
- FIG. 1 shows a side view of the spray device
- FIG. 1 shows a first nozzle in cross section
- FIG. 2 shows a second nozzle in cross section
- FIG. 9 shows a nozzle bar in longitudinal section
- FIG. 10 shows a nozzle bar in plan view.
- the washing machine consists according to Fig. 1 in the main of a washing tank 1, a collecting pan 2, and a spray device 3.
- a pump 4 is located in the washing tank 1 is connected via a supply line 5 with the spraying device 3, while a rear ⁇ pipe 6 from the Catch pan 2 leads to washing container 1.
- a curtain 7 is pushed together on a block on a track, not shown.
- a film tube 8 um- envelops the curtain 7 and the spray device 3, is gathered up above the spray device 3 and hangs below with the curtain 7 in the collecting pan 2.
- the spray device 3 is designed so that it can be inserted above the curtain 7 pushed together to form a block.
- a spraying device 3 of Fig. 2 bi s 5 of two of spaced apart top plates 9 with clotting ⁇ Ger width and greater length, the dimensions of which are matched to the expected dimensions of the curtain block. Between them, the two top plates 9 form a slot 10 which extends over the length. At one end, both top plates 9 are held together by a holding plate 11.
- the two upper plates 9 and the holding plate 11 can be designed ⁇ integrally.
- a nozzle strip 12 is attached, which has inwardly directed nozzles and which also extends over the length of the top plates 9. Both nozzle strips 12 are at the end where the holding plate
- the connector 13 is preferably via an adapter 14 with the end face of each nozzle bar
- the connecting piece 13 can also be connected directly to the inner sides of the nozzle strips 12. In the area in the middle between the two nozzle strips 12, the connecting piece 13 carries a downward-directed line connection 15 for the supply line 5. Thus, only one supply line 5 supplies both nozzle strips 12.
- the coupling piece 17 ⁇ is designed as a connecting part between the retaining plate 11 and a suction holder 18, and is preferably before ⁇ from a round bar which is bent to unequal length legs.
- This suction holder 18 consists of an adjustable suction cup 19 and a connecting piece 20 which is adjustable in one plane.
- Fig. 6 shows a modified spray device 3, the bent of two retaining plates 21, each with a horizontal top surface 22 and a vertical back storage 23. Both holding plates 21 are aligned at a distance parallel to each other and hold on one end face by a cross-connecting plate 24 together quantitative ⁇ .
- the Resulting between two holding plates 21 ⁇ ne distance is formed as a slit 25 having a defined width, fen to one end face of ⁇ and is covered on the opposite front side by the binding sheet Ver ⁇ 24th
- each side 23 of the holding plate 21 there is a nozzle strip 26 which extends over the entire length of the spray device 3 and is connected to the supply line 5 leading to the washing container 1 via a connection element (not shown) in the area of the connecting plate 24.
- a connection element (not shown) in the area of the connecting plate 24.
- two nozzle strips 26 are arranged opposite one another in the spray device 3, at the same height and at a predetermined height distance from the upper side 22 of the holding plate 21.
- the nozzle strips 26 preferably have a rectangular cross section. The resulting space above the nozzle strips 26 between the nozzle strips 26 and the holding plate 21 is covered to the inside of the spray device 3 by an aperture 27.
- the nozzle strips 12, 26 of both embodiments of the spray device 3 have nozzles 28 in the inner wall facing the lamellae, which are arranged in a horizontal row and at equal intervals.
- the row of nozzles 28 of the two opposite nozzles ⁇ strips 12, 26 are thus directed towards one another in the same way.
- each nozzle 28 consists of a nozzle opening 29 and a notch 30, the notch 30 being arranged on the outer side and the nozzle opening 29 on the inner side of the inner wall of the nozzle strip 12, 26.
- the notch 30 has the shape and the external dimen ⁇ solutions of a side-milling cutter for the involute toothing and is inserted with this Evolventenfräer in the puncture process. Accordingly, the notch shows a plan view of an elliptical shape (FIG. 10) with a sharp-edged spout, the shape of an involute in cross section (FIG. 9) and a circular section shape in longitudinal section (FIGS. 7 and 8).
- the notches 30 are placed so that the longitudinal axis of the ellipse perpendicular to the horizontal duri ⁇ fenden nozzle bar 12 is aligned 26th
- the nozzle opening 29 is introduced in the region of the lowest point of the notch 30, the position being able to be exactly in the center or, as can be seen from FIG. 8, in the immediate vicinity above or below the center of the notch 30.
- the depth of the circular section takes up the greater part in comparison to the depth of the nozzle opening 29 in the inner wall of the nozzle bar 12, 26.
- the nozzle opening 29 is elliptical in cross-section and conical in depth; Main axis of the ellipse of the nozzle opening 29 in the same direction as the main axis of the ellipse of the notch 30
- the mode of operation of the entire slat washing machine is generally known.
- the pump 4 conveys washing liquid or Spülmati ⁇ ness from the Waschbehalter 1 via supply line 5 to the spraying device 3, where it emerges under pressure and up to the pushed-together curtain to block applies.
- the washing or rinsing liquid runs down the curtain and is returned either directly or via the collecting ⁇ pan 2 to the washing container. 1 This cycle is maintained for a predetermined unit of time.
- the spray device 3 is inserted between the curtain 7 and the track so that the rollers with their retaining webs protrude through the slot 10, 25 of the top plates 9, 22.
- the coupling piece 17 is inserted at one end into the coupling 16 and at the other end into the connector 20 of the suction holder 18 and fastened.
- the suction holder 18 is then placed at a sufficient distance from the spray device 3 on the glass pane which is always in the vicinity or on another smooth wall surface, for example the ceiling, and is attached with negative pressure.
- the height of the spray device 3 is balanced so that it is in the space between the running rail and the upper end of the curtain 7 and solely by the force the suction holder 18 is worn. Due to the difference ⁇ Liche leg length of the coupling piece 17 and the pivotable connection piece 20 at the suction holder 18, the adaptation to any location is possible.
- the film tube 8 is then pulled over the curtain 7 and the spray device 3 in a known manner.
