Definitions

  • the invention relates to a front-loading laundry treating machine such as washing machine, washer-dryer or dryer, comprising a housing, with a closable by a door substantially circular housing opening, and arranged in the housing, a substantially cylindrical container for receiving the laundry to be treated with a substantially circular A container opening, a nozzle for injecting water and a device for generating steam, comprising a radiator, an inlet opening and a steam outlet opening, which can be injected via the nozzle in the region of the edge of the container opening into the interior of the container, wherein the laundry treatment machine comprises at least one tank in which the water can be stored, which can be conveyed via the pump to the inlet opening of the steam generating device.
  • a front loadable laundry treatment machine with a container for receiving the laundry to be treated.
  • the machine comprises a steam generator which evaporates water supplied by a pump, the energy being provided for evaporation by means of a radiator.
  • the washing machine has a device for spraying or introducing water into the tub, in which case the water to be introduced is passed through the steam generator.
  • the water to be evaporated is stored in a tank that can be filled by the water inlet.
  • the washing machine disclosed herein includes a steam generator for treating the laundry with steam.
  • a container is arranged in the upper region of the washing machine, in which a predetermined amount of water is admitted.

  • the inflow is directly connected to the water supply and is controlled by a valve.
  • the steam exit is controlled via an outlet valve to provide sufficient vapor pressure within the steam generator. When opening the outlet valve, a great deal of steam flows out due to the high pressure, which entrains droplets from the container. However, droplets are undesirable in the treatment of laundry with steam because they moisten the laundry unevenly.
  • the main advantage of the laundry treatment machine according to the invention is that the steam generating device and pump can be arranged very compact and small building within the device housing, since the water for steam generation does not have to be stored in the complete amount within the steam generating device.
  • the tank for the storage of water is in this case formed as a functional component, which is additionally designed in particular for the Wasserein Hughesung for the common nozzle.
  • only a few hoses to connect between the be suitable components are laid, which is both space-saving and easy to install.

  • the container has a volume in the range between 150 ml to 400 ml. With these dimensions, sufficient steam for the aftertreatment or additional treatment for a laundry load of 1 to 3 kg can be generated at a low electrical power.
  • the tank for the water inlet comprises a siphon, which acts as a valve to prevent steam from escaping through the supply line into the dispenser box due to an overpressure in the steam generator.
  • a siphon acts as a valve to prevent steam from escaping through the supply line into the dispenser box due to an overpressure in the steam generator.
  • siphon and the overflow are formed as web-shaped projections on at least one tank wall.
  • these two functional parts are provided as integral parts of the tank in a simple manner.
  • the tank consists of two joined shells, wherein the projections are arranged on an inner side of one or both shells.

  • the tank is designed as a flat hollow body, which is mounted edgewise in the area behind the front wall or a front-side support member of the housing.
  • the tank for the available space within the machine housing is optimally formed or shaped.
  • the nozzle is designed for the connection of two lines, wherein a line for the supply of steam and a line for the supply of water is intended. This reduces branching to a single, already existing component.
