Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Waschmaschine mit einem Laugenbehälter zur Aufnahme von Lauge, mit einer an den Laugenbehälter angeschlossen Abflussleitung, die einen Auffangbehälter mit einer verschließbaren Öffnung aufweist, weiterhin mit einer der Abflussleitung nachgeschalteten Laugenpumpe, und mit einem am Laugenauslassstrang angebrachten Notentleerungsschlauch.The invention relates to a washing machine with a lye container for receiving lye, with a discharge line connected to the tub, which has a collecting container with a closable opening, further with a drain pipe downstream drain pump, and with a Laugenauslassstrang attached emergency drain hose.

Durch den verschließbaren Notentleerungsschlauch kann Lauge aus dem Laugenauslassstrang abgelassen werden, der so zumindest teilweise entleert wird, z. B. zum Zugriff auf den Auffangbehälter für Reparaturen oder zur Wartung.Through the closable emergency emptying hose leach can be drained from the Laugenauslassstrang, which is at least partially emptied, z. B. to access the container for repairs or maintenance.

Bei bekannten Waschmaschinen ist ein separater Notentleerungsschlauch am Laugenauslassstrang befestigt, typischerweise durch Aufstecken auf einen Siphonstutzen der Abflussleitung und folgendes Fixieren, z. B. mittels einer Schlauchklemme (siehe Z.B. EP 0 33 5454 A2 ). Typischerweise wird der Notentleerungsschlauch im normalen Betrieb entweder an seinem freien Ende durch einen separaten Stopfen normal verstöpselt. Bei einer anderen bekannten Anordnung hat der Stopfen an dem in die Abflussleitung mündenden Ende des Notentleerungsschlauchs eine diese Mündung ausfüllende Verdickung, die mit dem Stopfen über einen elastischen Stab verbunden ist und verhindert, das in Verschlussstellung des Stopfens Waschmittelreste und/oder unlösliche Bestandteile aus der Lauge den Notentleerungsschlauch verstopfen können. Der separate Stopfen kann bei Bedarf am Notentleerungsschlauch befestigt sein.In known washing machines a separate emergency discharge hose is attached to the Laugenauslassstrang, typically by plugging on a Siphonstutzen the drain line and the following fixing, z. B. by means of a hose clamp (see ZB EP 0 33 544 A2 ). Typically, the emergency evacuation hose is normally stoppered at its free end by a separate plug during normal operation. In another known arrangement, the stopper at the end of the emergency evacuation hose opening into the discharge line has a thickening filling this mouth, which is connected to the stopper by means of an elastic rod and prevents, in the closed position of the stopper, detergent residues and / or insoluble constituents from the liquor can plug the emergency drain hose. The separate plug may be attached to the emergency drain hose as needed.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Möglichkeit zur Notentleerung der Laugenabflussleitung einer Waschmaschine bereitzustellen, die eine vereinfachte Montage und Logistik sowie einen sichereren Betrieb ermöglicht.The invention has for its object to provide a way to emergency emptying the liquor drain line of a washing machine, which allows for simplified assembly and logistics and safer operation.

Erfindungsgemäß ist die eingangs beschriebene Waschmaschine dadurch ausgebildet, dass der Notentleerungsschlauch und die Abflussleitung ein einstöckiges Teil sind. Dadurch kann vorteilhafterweise die Zahl der Bauteile reduziert werden, da der separate Notentleerungsschlauch und die Befestigungsmittel entfallen. Es ergibt sich eine Kostenreduzierung durch Vereinfachung der Montage sowie bei der Logistik durch eine verringerte Lagerhaltung. Weiterhin wird die Möglichkeit einer Leckage durch Lockern oder Abfallen des Notentleerungsschlauch ausgeschlossen.According to the invention, the washing machine described at the outset is formed in that the emergency emptying hose and the drainage pipe are a single-storey part. As a result, advantageously, the number of components can be reduced, since the separate emergency emptying hose and the fastening means are eliminated. This results in a cost reduction by simplifying the assembly as well as in logistics by a reduced storage. Furthermore, the possibility of leakage by loosening or falling off the emergency emptying hose is excluded.

Der Notentleerungsschlauch wird günstigerweise durch eine Öffnung in einer Sockelblende nach außen geführt.The emergency drain hose is conveniently led out through an opening in a plinth panel.

Es ist vorteilhaft, wenn der Notentleerungsschlauch mit seinem freien Ende auf einen im Gehäuse integrierten Stopfen dichtend aufsteckbar ist. Günstigerweise ist der Stopfen, der vorteilhafterweise als angeformter Stutzen vorliegt, in der Sockelblende, und dort am Besten in einer Seitenwand, integriert. Dabei ist die Form des Stopfens nicht eingeschränkt, sondern kann beispielsweise zylinder-, kugel- oder kegelstumpfförmig sein. Auch kann der Stopfen Dichtelemente, wie z. B. O-Ringe usw., aufweisen. Bei Bedarf kann eine Arretierungsmöglichkeit des Notentleerungsschlauchs mit dem Stopfen vorgesehen sein, beispielsweise eine Verschraubung oder ein Bajonettverschluss. Diese vorteilhafte und allgemein bisher nicht bekannte Ausgestaltung des Stopfens ist grundsätzlich auch unabhängig davon realisierbar, welcher Art der Anschluss des Notentleerungsschlauchs ist.It is advantageous if the emergency emptying hose with its free end is sealingly attachable to an integrated stopper in the housing. Conveniently, the plug, which is advantageously present as a molded neck, in the base panel, and there best in a side wall, integrated. The shape of the plug is not limited, but may for example be cylindrical, spherical or frustoconical. Also, the plug sealing elements, such. B. O-rings, etc., have. If necessary, a possibility for locking the emergency emptying hose with the stopper may be provided, for example a screw connection or a bayonet lock. This advantageous and generally hitherto unknown design of the plug is basically also independent of what type of connection of the emergency emptying hose.

Der Notentleerungsschlauch kann an jedem Teil der Abflussleitung, einschließlich des Auffangbehälters, befestigt sein.The emergency drain hose may be attached to any part of the drain line, including the catch tank.

Der Auffangbehälter kann die Funktion z. B. einer Grobkörperfalle und / oder eines Flusenfiltergehäuses übernehmen und lässt sich günstigerweise über die Sockelblende öffnen. Die Position des Auffangbehälters in der Abflussleitung kann nach Bedarf gewählt werden. Zur einfachen Montage und Volumenreduzierung ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Auffangbehälter nicht separat in der Abflussleitung angeordnet ist, sondern in die Pumpe integriert ist, günstigerweise als Pumpen(vor)kammer. Bei blockierter Pumpe kann der Auffangbehälter / die Pumpenkammer nach vorheriger Notentleerung geöffnet und geräumt werden.The collecting container can perform the function z. As a coarse body trap and / or a lint filter housing and can be conveniently opened on the plinth panel. The position of the catch tank in the drain line can be selected as needed. For ease of assembly and volume reduction, it is advantageous if the collecting container is not arranged separately in the drain line, but is integrated into the pump, conveniently as a pump (vor) chamber. When the pump is blocked, the collecting container / pump chamber can be opened and evacuated after previous emergency emptying.

Über eine Zuführleitung 8 wird, wie durch den Pfeil 9 angedeutet, Lauge 6 zugeführt und füllt den Laugenbehälter 1 bis zur einer Höhe NV. Die Lauge besteht entweder nur aus Wasser oder aus einem Gemisch von Wasser und Waschhilfsmittel.Via a supply line 8, as indicated by the arrow 9, liquor 6 is supplied and fills the tub 1 to a height NV. The lye consists either only of water or of a mixture of water and washing aid.

Lauge 6, die sich am Boden des Laugenbehälters 1 befindet, kann durch eine Abflussleitung 12 und eine nachgeschaltete Laugenpumpe 13 in hier nicht näher dargestellter Weise über eine Abpumpleitung 14 in der durch den Pfeil 15 angedeuteten Richtung nach außen befördert werden. In der Abflussleitung 12 ist ein separater Auffangbehälter 16 für Flusen und / oder Fremdkörper mit einer verschließbaren Öffnung 17 integriert.Lye 6, which is located at the bottom of the tub 1, can be conveyed through a drain line 12 and a downstream drain pump 13 in a manner not shown here via a pumping line 14 in the direction indicated by the arrow 15 to the outside. In the drain line 12, a separate collecting container 16 for lint and / or foreign matter is integrated with a closable opening 17.

Alle schalt- oder steuerbaren Einrichtungen, wie der Trommelantriebsmotor 10 und die Laugenpumpe 13, werden von einer Steuereinrichtung der Waschmaschine geschaltet oder gesteuert (nicht dargestellt).All switchable or controllable devices, such as the drum drive motor 10 and the drain pump 13, are switched or controlled by a control device of the washing machine (not shown).

Vor dem Auffangbehälter 16 befindet sich ein Notentleerungsschlauch 18, der im bestimmungsgemäßen Betrieb normal verstöpselt ist (Stopfen hier nicht dargestellt). Bisher bekannt sind separate Notentleerungsschläuche, die auf die Abflussleitung 12 aufgesteckt und dann fixiert werden. In dieser erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsform sind Abflussleitung 12 und Notentleerungsschlauch 18 durch eine einstückige Ausführung ineinander integriert. Dies kann z. B. durch eine gemeinsame Spritzguss-Herstellung geschehen.In front of the collecting container 16 there is an emergency emptying hose 18 which is normally plugged in during normal operation (plug not shown here). So far, separate emergency emptying hoses, which are plugged onto the drain line 12 and then fixed. In this embodiment of the invention are drain line 12 and emergency drain hose 18 integrated by a one-piece design. This can be z. B. done by a common injection molding production.

In Figur 2 führt, analog zu Figur 1, die Abflussleitung 12 in den Auffangbehälter 26 für Flusen und / oder Fremdkörper, in dem Grobteile verbleiben und über die verschließbare Öffnung 17 entnommen werden können. In dieser Ausführungsform ist der Auffangbehälter 26 als Pumpen(vor)kammer in die Laugenpumpe 13 integriert, wobei die Lauge 6 über den abpumpseitigen Stutzen 19 und über die Abpumpleitung (nicht dargestellt) weiter abgeführt werden kann.In FIG. 2 leads, analogously FIG. 1 , the drain line 12 into the collecting container 26 for fluff and / or foreign matter, remain in the coarse parts and can be removed through the closable opening 17. In this embodiment, the collecting container 26 as a pump (pre) chamber is integrated into the drain pump 13, wherein the liquor 6 via the pumping-side port 19 and the pumping line (not shown) can be further dissipated.

Der Notentleerungsschlauch 18 ist einstückig in den Ablaufschlauch 12 integriert bzw. an diesen angeformt. Durch diese bisher nicht bekannte Ausführungsform können vorteilhafterweise Montage- und Logistikosten gesenkt und die Betriebssicherheit erhöht werden.The emergency emptying hose 18 is integrally integrated in the drain hose 12 or molded onto it. By this hitherto unknown embodiment advantageously assembly and logistics costs can be lowered and the reliability can be increased.

Der Notentleerungsschlauch 18 wird durch eine Schlauchdurchführung in Form einer kreisförmigen Öffnung 22 in einer Gehäusewand 24 der Waschmaschine W, hier: im Bereich einer Sockelblende 21, nach außen geführt. In der gezeigten Betriebsstellung ist der Notentleerungsschlauch 18 zur Funktion der Notentleerung eingerichtet. Im Ablaufschlauch etwa noch befindliche Lauge 6 (nicht gezeigt) fließt durch den Notentleerungsschlauch nach außen ab, z. B. in einen separaten Auffangbehälter (nicht gezeigt), wie eine Schüssel oder ähnliches. Zum ordnungsgemäßen Betrieb der Waschmaschine W wird der Notentleerungsschlauch 18 verstöpselt, was in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel durch Aufstecken des freien Endes auf einen in der Sockelblende 21 seitlich integrierten Stopfen 23 geschieht. Die Integration des Stopfens 23 in eine Gehäusewand 20 der Waschmaschine W ergibt vorteilhafterweise ebenfalls eine Bauteilreduzierung, und damit unter anderem eine einfachere Herstellung, Montage und Logistik.The emergency emptying hose 18 is guided through a hose passage in the form of a circular opening 22 in a housing wall 24 of the washing machine W, here: in the region of a base panel 21, to the outside. In the operating position shown, the emergency emptying hose 18 is set up for the emergency emptying function. In the drain hose about lye still located 6 (not shown) flows through the emergency emptying hose to the outside, z. B. in a separate receptacle (not shown), such as a bowl or the like.
