Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a device for equipping laundry in a water-conducting household appliance.
  • Clothing has already been impregnated in the prior art, for example with fragrances.
  • the commercial equipping of fabrics with finishing or finishing substances is already known in the art.
  • Previous commercial finishing processes are batched or padded.
  • fabrics in a larger amount of treatment solution (long liquor) are brought into contact with the active ingredients.
  • the degree of extraction (percentage of active substance deposited on the textile) depends strongly on the affinity of the active ingredient for the fiber.
  • ready-made textiles can also be treated in a batch process. The treatment in batch process takes longer, because due to the long liquor and the relatively low degree of separation, the deposition rate is low.
  • Cyclodextrins are cyclic oligosaccharide compounds having a toroidal structure with a central cavity. Cyclodextrins are able to trap apolar organic compounds in this cavity. This property has led to them being used today in, for example, air freshener sprays. The cyclodextrin derivatives contained in these products bind the compounds responsible for unpleasant odors. At the same time, they also serve as carriers of fragrances.
  • Microcapsules are mostly substantially spherical structures, which have a shell and an interior exhibit. In this interior substances can be included. Microcapsules usually have a diameter ranging from nanometers to ⁇ 1mm. They have a shell, which consists for example of a film-forming polymer, in which finely dispersed, liquid or solid phases may be included. The shell material can consist of many different types of chemical compounds.
  • the DE 601 19 356 T2 discloses an apparatus for treating fabrics in a tumble dryer and mentions cyclodextrins as odor neutralizers and as perfume boosters. These and many more substances are made according to the teachings of DE 601 19 356 T2 used for tissue conditioning and enclosed for this purpose with a membrane which prevents the escape of liquids, but not the escape of gases. When operating a dryer liquid evaporates due to the action of heat and can escape from the membrane casing and thus in the dryer and thus also in distribute the laundry contained therein. Disadvantages of this type of laundry equipment are that no large volumes of equipment substances get on the laundry and that not all equipment substances are suitable for vaporizing. For example, microcapsules and cyclodextrins should be distributed as a liquid.
  • DE 10 2005 046 163 discloses a method and a device, in particular a tumble dryer, in which, in addition to the laundry items to be treated another textile piece is used as a filter. This filter serves to absorb the vapors and substances exiting from the other items of laundry. Such a dryer or washer-dryer is not suitable for equipping the textile pieces located therein.
  • the DE 100 36 850 A1 discloses a device for dispensing a liquid product into the interior of a dishwashing or washing machine.
  • This is a simple mechanical spraying device with a reservoir and a nozzle, which is suitable for spraying liquids.
  • no compressed gas atomizer is used, but the container is compressed mechanically and so the liquid is driven through the nozzle and atomized.
  • Such an atomizer produces an aerosol which forms very large droplets, causing stains on laundry items.
  • EP 143 14 43 A1 discloses a clothes dryer, which is equipped with an ultrasonic atomizer, with which substances, for example fragrances to be introduced into the laundry drum.
  • an ultrasonic nebulizer is capable of producing very fine aerosols, it is comparatively inadequate to disperse microdisperse fluids, such as a microcapsule suspension, in a room. Incidentally, it is unsuitable to deliver larger amounts of liquid in the shortest possible period.
  • EP 0 676 497 discloses a method of spraying perfume oil on laundry by means of a pressurized spray nozzle. For this purpose, the perfume is sprayed onto the already dried laundry, while the drum continuously circulates to distribute the fragrance evenly. Also disclosed is a spraying device which is mounted in the filler cap of the dryer. This method has the disadvantage that the When the drum is moved around the drum, it is sprayed unevenly with the fragrance, which in turn causes staining.
  • WO 03/023122 A1 also discloses methods of equipping textiles with finishing substances by spraying them into a drum as it rotates. Here, however, a movement below the application speed is meant.
  • de 10 2006 003 416 A1 discloses a laundry treating machine having a device for deodorizing clothes.
  • a component with a spray nozzle is provided in the sealing collar of the laundry drum, which can deliver an active ingredient (eg cyclodextrins) as a spray into the interior of the drum.
  • an active ingredient eg cyclodextrins
  • it is provided to move the drum during spraying so that a tumbling around the existing laundry in the drum is guaranteed.
  • this has the disadvantage that the laundry items are at different distances from the spray nozzle during this fall. This leads to staining.
  • the present invention thus relates to a device for cleaning, drying and / or care of laundry, comprising a housing, a treatment container, in particular a movable drum with a contact speed and a treatment room for receiving a laundry, a door with which the treatment container closed and a nebulizer having a receptacle containing equipment composition, and a dispenser communicating with the treatment space, which nebulizer is capable of delivering the equipment composition to the treatment room via the dispenser.
  • a control unit with an associated control program ensures that the equipment composition is delivered to the treatment room while the drum is being moved at least at the application speed.
  • the invention further relates to a method for applying a finishing composition to a laundry in a home appliance for laundry care having a moving drum at a landing speed and with a sputtering device, wherein a laundry is provided in the drum and the finishing composition is applied to the laundry by spraying over the sputtering device while the drum is being moved at or above the application speed.
  • An advantage of the method according to the invention is the original equipment of garments in contrast to fabric panels, in particular of conventional ready-made goods, or the retrofitting of such ready-made goods, when the equipment substances are consumed.
  • Another advantage of the invention is the avoidance of equipment substance losses and environmental pollution from wastewater containing equipment. Batching in a washing machine would result in equipment losses of over 50%. In the present invention, it is much lower, less than 10%.
  • the device according to the invention is a household appliance, in particular a water-conducting household appliance, which is a washing machine or a washer-dryer.
  • a washing function For the contacting of the laundry with the equipment composition a washing function is used. Compressed air or ultrasonic techniques or a combination of both are used to spray the equipment composition.
