- the laundry to be treated is introduced inside the drum. By rotary movements, including reversing rotational movements of the drum, the introduced laundry is raised by means of ribs on the inside of the drum and then falls due to gravity back down to the starting position.
- the laundry introduced into the drum can be wetted and flowed through by the washing liquor present in the tub, wherein dirt is released from the laundry.
- the liquor acts on the introduced laundry via holes in the jacket of the drum. So there is a constant exchange of liquor of the tub to the interior of the drum and the interior of the drum back to the tub instead.
- the inside of the drum fleet is effective.
- a liquor bottoms or a sump of dilute liquor which forms during a rinsing process which excludes a washing process, is formed.
- the fleet outside the drum is also referred to as a dead fleet.

- the CH 327 248 A Although already created a way to drain the introduced laundry by a held by spring force on an outer surface of the drum cover ring lifts at sufficiently high speed from the outer surface and releases openings through which wash or flushing liquid can escape, but this is Dewatering can not be regarded as sufficiently effective, since only a few openings are opened to a narrow edge of the drum during dewatering or spinning throughout.
- the spatial relationship between the bezel and the drum is undefined as the bezel lifts away from the outer surface of the drum; In particular, it can not be ruled out that the cover ring then rotates or shifts against the drum. Therefore, the configuration according to CH 327 248 A not to be regarded as the basis of a real washing machine.
- US 20070028654 A1 a washing machine with the drum, which has on its jacket holes for the drainage of the drum and on which an elastic band is arranged as a closure element for the holes.
- the holes may be due to a force acting on the closure element centrifugal force by Rotation of the drum is caused to be closed, opened.
- the closure element is a ring of ferromagnetic material arranged around the jacket of the drum.
- an electromagnet is arranged, which acts upon appropriate control of the ring, so as to open or close the holes.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a domestic appliance, in particular for a washing process, which allows to maintain a small volume of liquor for a washing process, thereby enabling effective dewatering of the laundry. It should be a drum in the order of magnitude, as with currently common front-loader household appliances in the present case, can be used.

- the drum in a first speed range enclosing the speed zero
- the drum in a
- each hole a separate closure element or respective pluralities of holes common closure elements.
- At least the shell of the drum is made of ferromagnetic stainless steel, stainless steel being generally known material for making drums for domestic appliances.
- This is a favorable condition that on the outside of the shell of the drum closure elements made of a hard magnetic material can be attached, which during operation of the drum in the first speed range stuck to this and dissolve in operation in the second speed range of this.

- Such moldings and films are generally commercially available and are used in particular as characteristics that are attached to moldings made of sheet steel such as motor vehicle bodies. These moldings and films are more or less readily deformable, in particular easily bendable, and thus can well adapt to surfaces that can be unwound in a plane. They also adhere very well to such surfaces due to the surface contact.
- These plastic parts or plastic films can be formed very easily thermally, in particular by injection molding. In such a production process, the hard magnetic particles can be introduced and aligned fairly accurately in a suitable manufacturing step so that a component with quasi-installed permanent magnetism is produced.
- the fasteners are advantageously associated with a space at the back of Mit viderippen, since this area is not actively used anyway for the discharge of liquid in a spin process.
- the number of closure elements should correspond to the number of selected driving ribs of the drum. Since the driver ribs are usually evenly distributed over the circumference of the drum, this also means that the closure elements each have an equal circumferential length relative to the shell of the drum.
- deviating dimensions are also possible within the scope of the invention.
- the drum is surrounded by a tub, which receives liquid emerging from the drum.
- a tub in the invention at least not permanently actively involved in the washing process, it can be provided that the tub is firmly connected to the housing of the household appliance and is decoupled relative to the oscillating mounting of the drum with respect to the housing.

- this is a washing machine or a washer-dryer.
- the illustrated drum according to the invention with the closure elements can also be used for this purpose. It is only necessary to ensure that the closure elements are not only in the position of the second speed range in position, but also at a lower speed range, as the first speed range accordingly. It is therefore an example automatically triggering, latching position of the holes of the drum releasing position of the closure elements provided.
- a home appliance shown here only with the present essential details has initially according to Fig. 1 a substantially horizontally oriented drum 1, which is on one of the operating side of the household appliance opposite side, so with a closed drum side wall with centrally attached thereto axis (not shown), preferably mounted swinging relative to the housing of the domestic appliance and is driven.
- the drum side wall (not shown), which is directed to the operating side of the domestic appliance, has a substantially circular opening (not shown), which is adapted to the frame of the opening door of the domestic appliance.
- a conventional sleeve is inserted to the drum 1, then to this opening, leading to the frame of the opening door.
- a shell 2 of the drum has perforations or holes 3, which are distributed uniformly over the drum shell 2, as a certain structure, distributed.
- driving ribs 4 On the inside of the drum 1, driving ribs 4, here preferably three driver ribs 4, which are angularly distributed approximately equal to the axis center, are mounted. These ribs 4 have in the simplest case a smooth, closed surface. There are also special modifications possible, leading to training, such as scoop ribs 4, which are known per se. In the present case, the cross-sectional profile of the driver ribs 4 is approximately triangular, wherein the projecting towards the center of the axis center may be rounded.
- the ribs 4 may consist of a plastic and are with its back insoluble with the inside of the shell 2 of the drum 1, z. B. by welding or bonding, connected.
- closure elements 6 are mounted, which may correspond to the number of driver ribs 4 used.

- the mentioned closure elements 6 are adapted to the most circular cross-sectional shape of the drum 1, in particular then able to deliver an adhesive closure of the outside of the shell 2, if they are formed from a flexible material having a hard magnetic property.
- the holes 3 of the shell 2 can be closed in a liquid-tight manner by means of the closure elements 6.
- the closure elements 6 are formed from a plastic material into which hard magnetic particles are incorporated and aligned by taking into account a corresponding production step and then a plastic molded part is created with these hard magnetic particles enclosed. It can also be appropriate plastic films, possibly also multi-layered, are used, which are then connected by gluing or networking with each other. In this case, the mentioned hard magnetic particles are introduced.
- the assignment of the ferromagnetic material to the drum 1 and the assignment of the hard magnetic material to the flap-like segments 6 is not binding for the disclosed teaching; It is also a reverse assignment possible, although the assignment described here for practical reasons is preferred.
- This effect can be achieved by suitable choice of the shapes of the closure elements 6 or the distribution of the hard magnetic material in the closure elements 6, possibly also by the provision of thickenings, ballast weights or the like on the Closure elements 6, varies and adapted to the requirements of each case.
- the closure elements 6 can close the jacket 2 in a liquid-tight manner.
- the holes 3 of the shell 2 are opened.
- the closure elements 6 can thus open in any case with respect to their closing the holes 3 of the shell 2 position.
- the holes 3 are then released.
- this connecting to the other end of a closure element 6 may be provided, see. Fig. 4 .
- the transition from the position closing the holes 3 to the position releasing the holes 3 is effected by the centrifugal force counteracting the magnetic forces between the closure elements 6 and the jacket 2 during rotation of the drum 1.
- a first speed range including the zero speed is provided for the actual washing process.
- the closure elements 6 take their the holes 3 of the shell 2 occlusive position.
- the closure elements 6 In a second speed range, which is provided in particular for the spin of laundry between the washing process and a rinsing or completion of the washing process, the closure elements 6 each take their holes 3 releasing position. In this case, it is considered that in the presence of the second speed range, the centrifugal force acting on the closure elements 6 is greater than the magnetic force acting between the closure elements 6 and the shell 2.
- the described construction of the drum 1 with its closure elements 6, which can close the holes 3 of the drum shell 2 is in the FIGS. 1 to 4 shown.
- the drum 1 is still surrounded by a housing 7, which as Lye container 7 is called, but no lye or wash liquor receives in the actual washing process, but only takes over the function, in a spin process in which the holes 3 are released by opening the closure elements 6, absorb the leaking liquor or liquid and for a To collect discharge by a pump (not shown).
- FIGS. 1 to 4 describe schematically different operating states during a washing process.
- Fig. 1 is the drum 1 in the closed holes 3 by means of the closure elements 6 position.
- Laundry items 8 are introduced, which are surrounded by a wash liquor 9.
- This speed range can also be referred to as a speed range in which a system speed is not exceeded and in which the closure elements 6 rest clearly on the casing 2 or close the holes 3 thereof. It can be clearly seen that a significantly smaller volume of wash liquor is present in the drum 1 than is the case with conventional washing drums in which the wash liquor extends into the region of the liquor container 7.
- a spinning process is shown, which is triggered by the program of the domestic appliance after a washing process or after a rinse.
- the drum 1 rotates in a second speed range, which is 500U / min to 1400U / min, in particular at 800U / min or higher.
- the liquid taken up in the washed laundry (not shown) is ejected.
- the closure elements 6 are partially unfolded to the outside, so have detached from the jacket 2, as in compliance with the second speed range, the centrifugal force exceeds the effective between the closure elements 6 and the drum 1 magnetic force.
- the drum rotates thereby with a slip speed safely exceeded speed n.
- the holes 3 of the shell 2 are therefore more or less released and thrown from the laundry liquid can emerge unhindered from the jacket 2 and over the Lye container 7 are discharged.
- Fig. 3 is a transition state shown, which occurs after the spin.
- the rotational speed n of the drum 1 decreases, so that the centrifugal force acting on the closing elements 6 decreases and the magnetic force acting between the closing elements 6 and the drum 2 predominates.
- the application speed is fallen below.
- This tendency is in Fig. 3 each shown with an arrow a for the transition state of the closure elements 6.
- the liquor 9 introduced into the drum 1 is no longer capable of thermal connection to a heating rod possibly located in the tub 7, it is necessary to heat up the liquid or liquor added to the drum 1 beforehand and then directly into the drum 1 to contribute.
- a water heater can be used.
- other heating systems such as inductive heating or heat waves capable of acting into the interior of the drum 1, may also be used.
- the heating process is carried out outside of the drum 1, the liquid can be flushed in, for example, via the sleeve which is indirectly located between the opening door and the drum 1 and formed from an elastomer.
- tub 7 does not participate in the washing operation, it is possible to separate the tub 7 from the swinging support of the drum 1 with respect to to store on the housing of the household appliance. It is also important to note that the tub 7, which just does not participate in the washing process, is relatively free in the dimensioning and so for other purposes, eg. B. for buffering rinse water or liquor 9, can be used. Also special procedures, such as a particularly intensive washing process, can be suitably realized.
- the closing elements 6 are to be brought into a position releasing the holes 3 of the drum 1 even at low speeds, as in the first speed range.
- the stops which fix the closure elements 6 in the open position are suitable for further development.

Bei diesem Stand der Technik wird es als nachteilig angesehen, dass für den Waschvorgang mehr Flotte bzw. Wasser mit Waschmittel in die Anordnung von Laugenbehälter und Trommel eingeleitet werden muss, als für den eigentlichen Waschvorgang erforderlich ist. Ferner ist auch mehr Wasser für einen Spülvorgang zu- und abzuführen, um die Waschflotte geeignet verdünnen und abführen zu können.In this prior art, it is considered disadvantageous that for the washing process more liquor or water must be introduced with detergent in the arrangement of tub and drum, as required for the actual washing process. Furthermore, more water for a flushing process and remove, to dilute the wash liquor suitable and can dissipate.

Es soll eine Trommel in einer Größenordnung, wie bei derzeit üblichen Frontlader-Hausgeräten vorliegend, eingesetzt werden können. Der Aufwand für das Abführen von Flüssigkeit beim Schleudern der Wäsche soll gering gehalten werden können.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a domestic appliance, in particular for a washing process, which allows to maintain a small volume of liquor for a washing process, thereby enabling effective dewatering of the laundry. It should be a drum in the order of magnitude, as with currently common front-loader household appliances in the present case, can be used. The effort for the discharge of liquid when spinning the laundry should be kept low.
Diese Aufgabe wird mittels eines Hausgerätes nach dem unabhängigen Patentanspruch gelöst. Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen sind in den abhängigen Patentansprüchen angegeben, wobei mehrere bevorzugte Weiterbildungen auch dann im Rahmen der Erfindung miteinander kombiniert werden können, wenn dies hierin nicht explizit angegeben ist.This object is achieved by means of a domestic appliance according to the independent claim. Preferred embodiments are specified in the dependent claims, wherein a plurality of preferred developments can also be combined with one another within the scope of the invention, if this is not explicitly stated here.
Demgemäß ist das erfindungsgemäße Hausgerät mit einer Trommel mit einem Mantel zur Aufnahme von Wäsche, insbesondere für einen Waschvorgang, wobei in das Innere der Trommel Flüssigkeit, wie Waschflotte oder Spülflüssigkeit einbringbar ist, sowie dass die Trommel in einem ersten Drehzahlbereich einschließend die Drehzahl Null, der insbesondere für den Waschvorgang vorgesehen ist und in einem zweiten Drehzahlbereich, der insbesondere für das Schleudern der Wäsche zwischen dem Waschvorgang und einem Spülvorgang vorgesehen ist, betreibbar ist, wobei die Trommel so beschaffen ist, dass in dem ersten Drehzahlbereich die Trommel die eingebrachte Flüssigkeit relativ dicht aufnimmt und in dem zweiten Drehzahlbereich Flüssigkeit aus dem Inneren der Trommel abführbar ist, insbesondere dadurch ausgezeichnet, dass die Trommel über ihren gesamten Mantel verteilte Löcher aufweist, deren jedem ein Verschlusselement zugeordnet ist, welches Verschlusselement das Loch beim Betreiben der Trommel im ersten Drehzahlbereich verschließt und beim Betreiben der Trommel im zweiten Drehzahlbereich freigibt.Accordingly, the domestic appliance according to the invention with a drum with a jacket for receiving laundry, especially for a washing process, wherein liquid, such as wash liquor or rinsing liquid can be introduced into the interior of the drum, and that the drum in a first speed range enclosing the speed zero, the is provided in particular for the washing process and in a second speed range, which is provided in particular for the spin of the laundry between the washing process and a rinsing, operable, wherein the drum is such that in the first speed range, the drum, the liquid introduced relatively dense In the second rotational speed range, fluid can be discharged from the interior of the drum, in particular characterized in that the drum has holes distributed over its entire jacket, each of which has a closure element assigned to it, which closure element drives the hole when operating d he drum closes in the first speed range and releases when operating the drum in the second speed range.
Gegenüber dem Stand der Technik nach der
Es liegt im Rahmen der Erfindung, jedem Loch ein eigenes Verschlusselement oder jeweiligen Mehrzahlen von Löchern gemeinsame Verschlusselemente zuzuordnen. Dazu sind beispielsweise die jeweiligen funktionellen Vorteile abzuwägen gegen die jeweiligen konstruktiven Aufwände,It is within the scope of the invention to assign each hole a separate closure element or respective pluralities of holes common closure elements. To if, for example, the respective functional advantages are to be weighed against the respective design effort,
Für das Verschließen von den Löchern der Trommel für einen Waschvorgang hat es sich als besonders günstig erwiesen, dass mindestens der Mantel der Trommel aus ferromagnetischem nichtrostendem Stahl besteht, wobei nichtrostender Stahl allgemein ein zur Herstellung von Trommeln für Hausgeräte bekanntes Material ist. Dies ist eine günstige Voraussetzung dafür, dass auf der Außenseite des Mantels der Trommel Verschlusselemente aus einem hartmagnetischen Material angebracht werden können, welche beim Betrieb der Trommel im ersten Drehzahlbereich an dieser festhaften und sich im Betrieb im zweiten Drehzahlbereich von dieser lösen. Derart ist die Trommel im ersten Drehzahlbereich weitgehend flüssigkeitsdicht, im zweiten Drehzahlbereich aber flüssigkeitsdurchlässig. Somit ist zwischen den Verschlusselementen, die dem Kreisbogen des betreffenden Umfangsabschnitts der Trommel entsprechen, und der Trommel selbst eine Magnetkraft wirksam, so dass die Verschlusselemente die Löcher im Mantel der Trommel im ersten Drehzahibereich sicher verschließen können.For closing the holes of the drum for a washing operation, it has been found to be particularly favorable that at least the shell of the drum is made of ferromagnetic stainless steel, stainless steel being generally known material for making drums for domestic appliances. This is a favorable condition that on the outside of the shell of the drum closure elements made of a hard magnetic material can be attached, which during operation of the drum in the first speed range stuck to this and dissolve in operation in the second speed range of this. In this way, the drum is largely liquid-tight in the first speed range, but liquid-permeable in the second speed range. Thus, a magnetic force is effective between the shutter members corresponding to the circular arc of the respective peripheral portion of the drum and the drum itself, so that the shutter members can securely close the holes in the drum shell in the first speed range.
Sodann ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Verschlusselemente aus Kunststoffformteilen oder Kunststofffolien bestehen, wobei die Kunststoffteile eingelagerte hartmagnetische Partikel enthalten. Solche Formteile und Folien sind generell handelsüblich und werden insbesondere verwendet als Kennzeichen, die an Formteilen aus Stahlblech wie Kraftfahrzeugkarosserien angebracht werden. Diese Formteile und Folien sind mehr oder weniger gut verformbar, dabei insbesondere leicht verbiegbar, und können sich somit Oberflächen, die in eine Ebene abwickelbar sind, gut anpassen. Sie haften aufgrund des flächigen Kontakts dann auch sehr gut an solchen Oberflächen. Diese Kunststoffteile bzw, Kunststofffolien lassen sich thermisch, insbesondere durch Spritzgießen, sehr leicht formen Bei einem solchen Herstellungsprozess lassen sich die hartmagnetischen Partikel in einem geeigneten Herstellungsschritt ziemlich genau einbringen und ausrichten, damit ein Bauteil mit einem quasi eingebauten permanenten Magnetismus entsteht.Then it is advantageous if the closure elements made of plastic moldings or plastic films, wherein the plastic parts contain embedded hard magnetic particles. Such moldings and films are generally commercially available and are used in particular as characteristics that are attached to moldings made of sheet steel such as motor vehicle bodies. These moldings and films are more or less readily deformable, in particular easily bendable, and thus can well adapt to surfaces that can be unwound in a plane. They also adhere very well to such surfaces due to the surface contact. These plastic parts or plastic films can be formed very easily thermally, in particular by injection molding. In such a production process, the hard magnetic particles can be introduced and aligned fairly accurately in a suitable manufacturing step so that a component with quasi-installed permanent magnetism is produced.
Da es zur Lehre nach der Erfindung gehört, dass mit den Verschlusselementen nicht nur eine die Löcher des Mantels der Trommel verschließende Stellung einnehmbar sein soll, sondern auch eine die Löcher des Mantels der Trommel freigebende Stellung erreichbar sein soll, ist es erforderlich, dass die Segmente gegenüber der Trommel angelenkt sind. Dabei hat es sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, dass die Verschlusselemente jeweils an einer linienförmigen Befestigung am Mantel der Trommel gehaltert sind, wobei insbesondere die Befestigungen im Wesentlichen parallel zu einer Drehachse der Trommel ausgerichtet sind.Since it is part of the teaching of the invention that not only one of the holes of the shell of the drum closing position should be taken with the closure elements, but also reach the holes of the shell of the drum releasing position is to be, it is necessary that the segments are hinged to the drum. It has proven to be advantageous that the closure elements are each supported on a linear attachment to the jacket of the drum, in particular, the fasteners are aligned substantially parallel to a rotational axis of the drum.
Im Fall biegsamer Verschlusselemente, wie es bei Verschlusselementen aus besagten hartmagnetischen Kunststoffformteilen oder Kunststofffolien der Fall sein kann, können in sich unbewegliche Befestigungen wie Klebe- und Nietverbindungen genügen. Die Befestigungen sind in vorteilhafter Weise einem Raum an der Rückseite von Mitnehmerrippen zugeordnet, da dieser Bereich ohnehin nicht aktiv für das Abführen von Flüssigkeit bei einem Schleudervorgang nutzbar ist. Somit gelangt man auch zu der bevorzugten Dimensionierungsvorschrift, dass die Anzahl der Verschlusselemente der Anzahl der gewählten Mitnehmerrippen der Trommel entsprechen sollte. Da die Mitnehmerrippen meist gleichmäßig über den Umfang der Trommel verteilt sind, führt dies auch dazu, dass die Verschlusselemente jeweils eine gleiche Umfangslänge bezogen auf den Mantel der Trommel aufweisen. Es sind jedoch im Rahmen der Erfindung auch davon abweichende Dimensionierungen möglich.In the case of flexible closure elements, as may be the case with closure elements made of said hard magnetic plastic moldings or plastic films, immovable fastenings such as adhesive and rivet joints can be sufficient. The fasteners are advantageously associated with a space at the back of Mitnehmerrippen, since this area is not actively used anyway for the discharge of liquid in a spin process. Thus, one also comes to the preferred dimensioning rule that the number of closure elements should correspond to the number of selected driving ribs of the drum. Since the driver ribs are usually evenly distributed over the circumference of the drum, this also means that the closure elements each have an equal circumferential length relative to the shell of the drum. However, deviating dimensions are also possible within the scope of the invention.
Es hat sich als günstig und bevorzugt erwiesen, dass die durch die Verschlusselemente freigebende Stellung der Löcher des Mantels der Trommel durch jeweilige Anschläge oder Zugelemente festlegbar ist.It has proven to be favorable and preferred that the position of the holes of the shell of the drum releasing the closure elements can be fixed by respective stops or tension elements.
Im Falle biegsamer Verschlusselemente, die sich im ersten Drehzahlbereich flächig und haftend an die Außenseite des Mantels der Trommel anlegen, erfolgt beim Drehen der Trommel außerhalb des ersten Drehzahlbereiches die Ablösung der Verschlusselemente vom Mantel nicht vollständig, so weit dies die Befestigungen der Verschlusselemente erlauben, sondern graduell und beginnend an einem von der jeweiligen Befestigung weitest entfernten freien Ende. Dabei wickelt sich ein Verschlusselement nach und nach von dem Mantel ab und gibt somit, entsprechend der Drehzahl der Trommel und der daraus resultierenden Zentrifugalkraft die im ersten Drehzahlbereich noch vollständig bedeckte Fläche des Mantels mehr oder weniger frei. Dieser Effekt kann durch geeignete Wahl der Formen der Verschlusselemente oder der Verteilung der hartmagnetischen Materials in den Verschlusselementen, gegebenenfalls auch durch das Vorsehen von Verdickungen, Ballastgewichten oder dergleichen auf den Verschlusselementen, variiert und den Anforderungen jedes Einzelfalls angepasst werden.In the case of flexible closure elements, which bear flat and adhering to the outside of the shell of the drum in the first speed range, the detachment of the closure elements from the jacket is not complete when turning the drum outside the first speed range, as far as the fasteners allow the fasteners, but gradually and starting at a free end far from the respective attachment. In this case, a closure element gradually wraps itself off the jacket and thus gives, corresponding to the rotational speed of the drum and the resulting centrifugal force, the surface of the jacket which is still completely covered in the first speed range, more or less freely. This effect can be achieved by suitable choice of the shapes of the closure elements or the distribution of the hard magnetic material in the closure elements, optionally also by the provision of Thickening, ballast weights or the like on the closure elements, varies and adapted to the requirements of each case.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführung des erfindungsgemäßen Hausgeräts ist die Trommel von einem Laugenbehälter umgeben, welcher aus der Trommel austretende Flüssigkeit aufnimmt.In a preferred embodiment of the household appliance according to the invention, the drum is surrounded by a tub, which receives liquid emerging from the drum.
Da ein Laugenbehälter bei der Erfindung jedenfalls nicht dauernd aktiv in den Waschvorgang eingebunden ist, kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Laugenbehälter fest mit dem Gehäuse des Hausgerätes verbunden ist und gegenüber der schwingenden Lagerung der Trommel in Bezug auf das Gehäuse entkoppelt ist. Somit ergeben sich konstruktive Vereinfachungen betreffend der Anbringung des Laugenbehälters in Bezug auf das Gehäuse des Hausgerätes.Since a tub in the invention, at least not permanently actively involved in the washing process, it can be provided that the tub is firmly connected to the housing of the household appliance and is decoupled relative to the oscillating mounting of the drum with respect to the housing. Thus, there are constructive simplifications regarding the attachment of the tub in relation to the housing of the household appliance.
Im Rahmen einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführung des erfindungsgemäßen Hausgeräts ist dieses eine Waschmaschine oder ein Waschtrockner.Within the scope of a particularly preferred embodiment of the domestic appliance according to the invention, this is a washing machine or a washer-dryer.
Da ein Hausgerät in der Ausbildung als Waschtrockner eine auf dem Markt für Hausgeräte begehrte Variante darstellt, soll auch noch aufgezeigt werden, dass die erläuterte, erfindungsgemäße Trommel mit den Verschlusselemente auch hierfür einsetzbar ist. Es ist lediglich hierfür Sorge zu tragen, dass die Verschlusselemente nicht nur bei Vorliegen des zweiten Drehzahlbereiches in ihrer Stellung festlegbar sind, sondern auch bei einem geringeren Drehzahlbereich, wie dem ersten Drehzahlbereich entsprechend. Es ist also eine beispielweise automatisch auszulösende, einrastende Stellung der die Löcher der Trommel freigebenden Stellung der Verschlusselemente vorzusehen.Since a domestic appliance in the form of a washer-dryer represents a variant sought after in the market for household appliances, it should also be pointed out that the illustrated drum according to the invention with the closure elements can also be used for this purpose. It is only necessary to ensure that the closure elements are not only in the position of the second speed range in position, but also at a lower speed range, as the first speed range accordingly. It is therefore an example automatically triggering, latching position of the holes of the drum releasing position of the closure elements provided.

Ein hier nur mit den vorliegend wesentlichen Einzelheiten dargestelltes Hausgerät weist zunächst gemäß
Im Falle biegsamer Verschlusselemente 6, die sich im ersten Drehzahlbereich flächig und haftend an die Außenseite des Mantels 2 der Trommel 1 anlegen, erfolgt beim Drehen der Trommel 1 außerhalb des ersten Drehzahlbereiches die Ablösung der Verschlusselemente 6 vom Mantel 2 nicht vollständig, so weit dies die Befestigung 5' der Verschlusselemente 6 erlaubt, sondern graduell und beginnend an einem von der Befestigung 5' weitest entfernten freien Ende. Dabei wickelt sich ein Verschlusselement 6 nach und nach von dem Mantel 2 ab und gibt somit, entsprechend der Drehzahl der Trommel 1 und der daraus resultierenden Zentrifugalkraft die im ersten Drehzahlbereich noch vollständig bedeckte Fläche des Mantels 2 mehr oder weniger frei. Dieser Effekt kann durch geeignete Wahl der Formen der Verschlusselemente 6 oder der Verteilung der hartmagnetischen Materials in den Verschlusselementen 6, gegebenenfalls auch durch das Vorsehen von Verdickungen, Ballastgewichten oder dergleichen auf den Verschlusselementen 6, variiert und den Anforderungen jedes Einzelfalls angepasst werden.In the case of
Wie vorab dargestellt, können die Verschlusselemente 6 den Mantel 2 flüssigkeitsdicht verschließen. Es ist jedoch auch vorgesehen, dass die Löcher 3 des Mantels 2 geöffnet werden. Im Bereich des beschriebenen Raumes 5 ist daher vorgesehen, dass Befestigungen 5' einerseits ortsfest in Bezug auf die Trommel 1 ausgerichtet sind und andererseits an jeweils einem Ende der Verschlusselemente 6 diese jeweils an dem Mantel 2 befestigen. Die Befestigungen 5' sind im bevorzugten Falle, dass die Verschlusselemente 6 biegsame Folien oder Formteile sind, lineare feste Verbindungen wie Klebungen oder Nietreihen; sie können auch Scharniere sein und in gewissem Umfange ein Verschwenken der Verschlusselemente 6 gegen den Mantel 2 am jeweiligen Ort einer Befestigung 5' erlauben. Die Verschlusselemente 6 können somit jedenfalls gegenüber ihrer die Löcher 3 des Mantels 2 verschließenden Stellung aufklappen. Die Löcher 3 sind dann freigegeben. Für die Begrenzung der die Löcher 3 freigebenden Stellung können Anschläge oder Zugelemente 10, ausgehend von dem Trommelmantel 3, diesen verbindend mit dem anderen Ende eines Verschlusselements 6, vorgesehen sein, vgl.
Der beschriebene Aufbau der Trommel 1 mit deren Verschlusselementen 6, die die Löcher 3 des Trommelmantels 2 verschließen können, ist in den

Da die in die Trommel 1 eingebrachte Flotte 9 keine thermische Verbindung zu einem im Laugenbehälter 7 evtl. befindlichen Heizstab mehr innezuhaben vermag, ist es erforderlich, in die Trommel 1 einzubringende, mit Waschmittel versetzte Flüssigkeit bzw. Flotte zuvor aufzuwärmen und sodann direkt in die Trommel 1 einzubringen. Zum Aufwärmen kann ein Durchlauferhitzer verwendet werden. Es können jedoch auch andere Heizsysteme, wie induktive Beheizung oder Wärmewellen, die in das Innere der Trommel 1 hineinzuwirken vermögen, eingesetzt werden. Wird jedoch außerhalb der Trommel 1 der Beheizungs-Vorgang vorgenommen, so kann die Einspülung der Flüssigkeit beispielsweise über die zwischen der Öffnungstür und der Trommel 1 mittelbar befindliche, aus einem Elastomer gebildete Manschette, erfolgen. Jedoch ist es auch möglich, wie in der
Da des Weiteren der Laugenbehälter 7 am Waschvorgang nicht teilnimmt ist es möglich, den Laugenbehälter 7 getrennt von der schwingenden Lagerung der Trommel 1 in Bezug auf das Gehäuse des Hausgerätes zu lagern. Dabei ist auch wichtig festzuhalten, dass der Laugenbehälter 7, welcher eben nicht am Waschvorgang teilnimmt, in der Dimensionierung relativ frei ist und so für andere Zwecke, z. B. zum Puffern von Spülwasser oder Flotte 9, herangezogen werden kann. Auch Spezialprozeduren, wie ein besonders intensiver Waschvorgang, können geeignet realisiert werden.Further, since the
Sofern das mit der vorab beschriebenen Trommel 1 ausgerüstete Hausgerät auch als Waschtrockner eingesetzt werden soll, so sind die Verschlusselemente 6 auch bei geringen Drehzahlen, wie bei dem ersten Drehzahlbereich, in eine die Löcher 3 der Trommel 1 freigebende Stellung zu bringen. Hierbei sind die Anschläge, die die Verschlusselemente 6 in der geöffneten Stellung festlegen, geeignet weiterzubilden.If the household appliance equipped with the previously described
