  • EP 1 942 223 and from US-A1-5 502 988 Aulagen are known to wash laundry automatically.
  • the plant after EP 1 942 223 includes a manipulator that separates laundry, recognizes its type and feeds it to a washing machine, a dryer and an ironing machine.
  • inflatable hangers which serve to store laundry (see, for example, the document CH-A-336 180 ).
  • the task is to further simplify the washing process for the user.
  • a changeable in shape hanger is provided, which is attached to the laundry before the laundry is washed. The laundry is then washed with the hanger. Thereafter, the shape of the hanger is changed to accommodate the following operations. These steps include at least one drying, ironing and / or storage period during which the garment is left on the hanger.
  • the invention also relates to a clothes hanger for carrying out the method, which has a plurality of chambers which can be charged separately with air and / or which is designed to change its volume depending on the temperature.
  • the invention further relates to a system comprising such hangers and a washing machine and a manipulator.
  • the manipulator is configured to supply laundry items applied to the clothes hangers to the washing machine and to remove them again and to change the shape of the clothes hanger after removal.
  • the first and the second part each form at least one chamber which can be charged separately with air.
  • the support part 2 forms exactly one chamber 12, while the volume part 3 forms two chambers 13, 14, wherein the chamber 14 is arranged on the outside of the chamber 13.
  • a hook 4 is arranged, on which the hanger can be hung with or without laundry on a rod or the like.
  • the chambers 12 and 13 are each associated with a valve 5, 6, through which the respective chamber can be selectively inflated and vented.
  • the chamber 14 forms at least part of the surface of the hanger 1 and has a plurality of openings 15 towards the outside. It is connected to a connecting piece 7, through which air or steam can be blown in and then discharged through the openings 15 back to the garment.
  • At least one bracket 17 may be provided, with which the laundry item, in particular during washing, can be held.
  • the hanger can be further provided with a machine-readable mark 18.
  • this is a mark that can be read out by means of radio waves, for example in the form of an RF-ID tag.
  • the hanger after Fig. 1 and 2 For example, consists of plastic, wherein the chambers 12, 13 and 14 are formed by welded plastic films.
  • the following describes how the laundry items can be washed.
  • the method described here can be carried out both manually and automatically.
  • the hanger 1 is attached to the laundry.
  • One or preferably more of the buttons of the shirt are closed and the end portions of the support member 2 inserted into the sleeves of the shirt, so that the hanger in the shirt fits well.
  • the support part 2 and its chamber 12th at least partially inflated, so that the support part 2 provides the necessary rigidity for anchoring the hanger.
  • brackets 17 can be used to attach the hanger to the laundry.
  • the laundry with the hanger 1 can be introduced together with other items of laundry in a washing machine.
  • the chamber 13 of the volume part 3 is preferably largely emptied so that it does not unnecessarily take up volume in the washing machine.
  • the laundry After washing the laundry, the laundry is removed with his hanger of the washing machine.
  • the shape of the hanger 1 is adapted to the requirements of the following process steps. These process steps include at least one drying, ironing and / or storage period.
  • the volume of the garment hanger is increased to reduce wrinkling.
  • the volume of the hanger can be increased for the same reason, but in this case, for reasons of space, an enlargement to only a portion of the maximum possible volume is conceivable.
  • air is e.g. injected into the chamber 13 of the volume part 3. If the volume has to be transferred to a later step, e.g. be reduced again after ironing and before storage, the air can be at least partially drained again. In general, so the volume of the hanger during the process by inflation and / or air deflation can be varied.
  • the laundry may be dried on the hanger 1.
  • dry air is blown through the nozzle 7, which flows through the chamber 14 and exits through the openings 15.
  • To this Way can be blown through the hanger 1 dry air into the laundry, so that the drying time can be significantly reduced.
  • a suitable drying cabinet with connections for the nozzles 7 can be provided.
  • the drying oven has a dry air generator, with which warm, dry air is blown through the connections in the hanger 1 and thus in the laundry items.
  • the hanger 1 can be left in the laundry.
  • the hanger is thereby inflated to a fairly large volume to minimize wrinkling to a minimum.
  • 15 air can be introduced into the laundry through the nozzle 7, the chamber 14 and the openings again.
  • the air should have a high vapor content, which smoothes wrinkles.
  • Fig. 3 and Figure 4 shows a plant which is capable of automatically carrying out the process.
  • the system has a manipulator 21, which has a movable robot arm 22 on a turntable 23 in the embodiment shown.
  • a gripping device 24 is arranged, which is able to detect the hangers 1, for example on the hook 4.
  • a device of this kind is in EP 1 942 223 described and need not be explained here.
  • the system shown further comprises a washing machine 25.
  • a washing machine 25 This is in particular a drum washing machine, in which the items of laundry with the hangers in an unordered manner, ie not in suspended form, are cleaned.
  • the illustrated plant has a drying cabinet 26, which may be equipped with a dry air generator of the type described above, so that laundry items can be dried by blowing dry air through the hangers in the laundry items.
  • the system may also comprise further processing devices 32, such as e.g. an ironing device, have.
  • the ironing device preferably has a steam generator to blow in the manner described above for ironing steam through the hangers in the respective laundry item.
  • the steam generator can also be arranged in the drying cabinet. Due to the sequence of steam and subsequent hot air for drying a separate ironing function can be omitted.
  • FIG. 3 Schematically represented in Fig. 3 an entrance area 27 for laundry to be washed and a laundry exit area 28.
  • the laundry in the entrance area 27 is already provided with hangers 1 and is lined up in an orderly form, for example on a clothes rail 29, from where the manipulator 21 can detect them in a simple manner.
  • the plant may additionally or alternatively be designed so that it is able to seize or separate disorderly items of laundry, as in EP 1 942 223 is described.
  • the presence of the hanger 1 and its design and, where appropriate, the nature of the garment arranged thereon can detect the system by reading the electronic marker 18 of the hanger. Again, this can be done on the in EP 1 942 223 referenced techniques.
  • the valves 5 and 6 are connected to a loading and / or venting device, which is exemplified in the present example as a port 30 on the gripping device 24.
  • the loading and / or venting device can also be a stationary device, to which the manipulator 21 feeds the respective item of laundry.
  • the positions of the valves 5, 6 and the port 16 may be e.g. be detected automatically by locating the electronic marker 18 and / or by image processing.
  • the volume part 3 is preferably completely deaerated while the carrier part 2 is inflated.
  • hangers may be arranged on all or only part of the laundry items. For the handling of laundry items without hangers turn on the in EP 1 942 223 referenced techniques.
  • the laundry item is removed from the manipulator 21 of the washing machine 25, and the volume of the hanger 1 is increased by air is blown into the chamber 13 with the loading and / or venting device. Then the laundry item is fed by the manipulator 21 to the drying cabinet 26, the nozzle 7 is connected to the dry air generator, so that it can be dried in the manner described above.
  • the laundry After drying, the laundry can be ironed, for example.
  • the manipulator 21 removes the laundry article from the drying cabinet 26 and brings it to the ironing device 32, where the laundry article can be ironed by means of steam in the manner described above.
  • the manipulator 21 brings the laundry item to the dispensing area 28.
  • the volume of the clothes hanger can be at least partially reduced so that the space required is less.
  • the shape and size of the hanger according to Fig. 1 and 2 can be adapted to the respective requirements, ie different types of hangers can be provided.
  • hangers of different sizes can be provided for different sizes of items of laundry.
  • chambers and valves can be provided on the hanger, so that the shape of the hanger can be varied in a more targeted manner.
  • Hangers of other shapes may e.g. be provided for pants.
  • Such hangers may e.g. Clamps for attachment to the waistband have, as well as a volume part, which is able to fill the buttocks and / or thigh area of the pants.
  • the volume of the hanger 1 was varied in the embodiments described so far by the supply or discharge of air. However, it is also conceivable that the hanger is designed to change its volume, depending on the temperature, so to speak, automatically.
  • the chamber 3 hermetically sealed and filled with a suitable amount of a substance with boiling or sublimation between 50 ° C and 100 ° C, for example, ethyl alcohol (boiling point 78 ° C). If the laundry is washed at 40 or 60 ° C, the ethyl alcohol remains liquid and the volume of the chamber 3 is low. If the hanger is then placed in the drying cabinet, in which a temperature of eg 80 ° C prevails, the alcohol evaporates and the Volume of the chamber 3 is larger, so that creasing is counteracted.
  • a suitable amount of a substance with boiling or sublimation between 50 ° C and 100 ° C for example, ethyl alcohol (boiling point 78 ° C). If the laundry is washed at 40 or 60 ° C, the ethyl alcohol remains liquid and the volume of the chamber 3 is low.
