Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for washing laundry in a single-walled countercurrent washing machine, wherein the laundry is subjected in a number of successively in a conveying direction working chambers each one of these associated treatment step, wherein the washing liquor used for this purpose led in countercurrent to the laundry through the working chambers is, and wherein during a treatment step, the intended working chamber is reversely pivoted about an axis of rotation. It further relates to a single-wall countercurrent washing machine suitable for carrying out the method.
  • a so-called countercurrent washing machine In the industrial washing of laundry, in which on the one hand a comparatively large amount of laundry is to be treated, on the other hand comparatively complex impurities are to be safely removed from the laundry, a so-called countercurrent washing machine can be used.
  • a countercurrent washing machine as for example from the DE 198 12 386 A1 is known, usually comprises a number of in a conveying direction for the laundry successive working chambers. These working chambers, which are pivotable about a common axis of rotation, are each adapted to receive a particular amount of laundry and to perform a chamber specific treatment step, such as a prewash, a main wash, or a rinse.
  • the working chambers are reversibly pivoted about their common axis of rotation, that is rotated at an angle of less than 360 °, for example by 300 °.
  • the laundry is intensively moved in the wash liquor, supported by carrier ribs arranged on the respective chamber wall.
  • the countercurrent washing machine may comprise a conveyor spiral passing through the working chambers.
  • the transport device causes the further transport of the laundry in the next following working chamber.
  • the first working chambers seen in the conveying direction of the laundry are usually designed as pre-washing chambers, the subsequent working chambers as washing chambers and the last working chambers seen in the conveying direction as rinsing chambers.
  • the washing liquor is usually conducted through the working chambers counter to the conveying direction of the laundry.
  • the wash liquor is fed at the output end for the laundry in the countercurrent washing machine and flows through holes in the transport device against the conveying direction of the laundry through the working chambers.
  • the wash liquor is then withdrawn.
  • a particularly high washing and rinsing performance is a design target. It is desirable to achieve a reliable washing result with the least possible use of washing water and detergents in terms of a particularly high washing and rinsing performance.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a method for washing laundry in a countercurrent washing machine of the type mentioned above, with which a particularly high washing and rinsing performance and thus in particular a comparatively low water requirement can be achieved.
  • a particularly suitable for carrying out the method countercurrent washing machine should be specified.
  • this object is achieved in that each pivoting cycle part of the washing liquor located in this working chamber is separated or skimmed over the pivotal movement of the working chamber spent in an upper area of this working chamber and from there again the remaining wash liquor is added.
  • the invention is based on the consideration that for a particularly high washing or rinsing capacity available in the respective working chamber fleet should be exploited to a particularly high degree. Therefore, the adhering to the laundry to be washed soiling should be solved with a particularly high efficiency of the laundry and brought into the wash liquor or emulsified into it.
  • a high transfer rate of the contaminants into the wash liquor is basically possible by providing a comparatively high amount of wash liquor, ie a comparatively large amount of water.
  • a comparatively high differential speed between wash water and laundry fibers should be provided, since such a high differential speed due to the shearing effect on the Fiber passing water in conjunction with detergents causes a particularly favorable separation of the contaminants from the respective fiber.
  • a comparatively high differential speed between laundry and water is already achieved in existing systems in that the laundry is lifted out of the washing liquor via the entrainment means within the respective working chamber and thrown back from an elevated position into the washing liquor.
  • An additional increase in the mechanical contributions to the washing effect is now achieved by additionally still transported in the respective working chamber, a part of the liquor in a position above the laundry to be treated and is poured from there using the gravitational acceleration on the laundry to be treated.
  • Such an increase in the efficiency or the flushing performance can be provided both in the actual washing of the laundry provided working chambers, ie in prewash or wash chambers, as well as in designed for rinsing the laundry working chambers or rinsing chambers.
  • the intermediate storage of the part of the wash liquor is advantageously carried out in a number of outside the drum wall arranged scoop pockets.
  • the stated object is achieved in that at least one working chamber has a number of scoop pockets which communicate with the interior of the respective working chamber on the wash liquor side in such a way that, in a starting position, a part of the wash liquor present in this working chamber the respective scoop pocket overflows, is conveyed in this scoop pocket on the pivoting movement of the working chamber in an upper space region of the working chamber and flows back from there into the interior of the working chamber.
  • the scoop pockets are advantageously arranged in each case on the outside of a drum wall defining the associated working chamber.
  • the quantitative extent of the additionally achievable via the scoop pockets wash contribution or traceable to the scoop pockets increases in efficiency or washing performance are mainly due to the geometric dimensions of the scoop pockets, especially compared to the dimensions of the working chambers and the usual operating conditions in the treatment of Washing liquor, in particular by their flow rate.
  • a particularly far-reaching increase in efficiency can be achieved by distributed in an advantageous embodiment of a working chamber distributed over its circumference about eight to twelve, preferably ten, siphon pockets.
  • the or each scoop pocket is expediently limited in the circumferential direction of the associated working chamber by a pair of chamber plates, which form an opening angle of 10 ° to 20 °, preferably of about 15 °, based on a predetermined by the rotation axis vertex.
  • the scoop pockets are, seen in the rest position of the associated working chamber, advantageously arranged substantially in the lower outer area.
  • the further transport of the laundry from a working chamber in the next in the conveying direction following working chamber can be done by any suitable means.
  • a transport spiral which passes through the working chambers sequentially is provided for the further transport of the laundry.
  • the advantages achieved by the invention are in particular that an additional contribution to the differential speed between the wash liquor and laundry is provided by the enabled by the scoop pockets lifting a portion of the wash liquor to a position above the laundry and the subsequent pouring of this part of the wash liquor ,
  • the mechanical contribution to the washing result ie the detachment of impurities from the fibers as a result of a shearing effect caused by passing wash liquor, is significantly increased in comparison to known countercurrent washing systems.
  • the wash liquor which in the meantime has been lifted and poured from the elevated position onto the laundry, can be assigned a new, radial speed contribution which, with a suitable geometrical design, is effectively increased compared to the prevailing axial velocity contribution, for example increased by a factor of 6 to 8.
  • the washing or rinsing performance can be increased by up to 60% with all the resulting savings, for example for the wash water used.
  • the countercurrent washing machine 1 comprises in the exemplary embodiment thirteen working chambers 2, which are arranged successively in a symbolized by the arrow 4 conveying direction x for laundry.
  • the first working chambers 2 seen in the conveying direction x are in the exemplary embodiment designed as prewash chambers 6.
  • the seven further working chambers 2 following in the conveying direction x are designed as actual washing chambers 8 and form the washing zone of the countercurrent washing machine 1.
  • the last three working chambers 2 designed as rinsing chambers 10 adjoin the latter in the conveying direction x, and the rinsing zone of the countercurrent washing machine 1 follows form. Deviating from this embodiment, of course, any other appropriate number of working chambers 2 may be selected.
