Definitions

  • the invention relates to a washing machine with a tub in a swingably mounted in or on a support device with a rotatably mounted drum with an at least approximately horizontal axis of rotation, which is driven by a motor, a sensor device for detecting the position and / or the position and the movement of the Laugen essenceers, a balancing device with at least three chambers, which are distributed annularly arranged on at least one end wall of the drum and a control device which is adapted to control based on the detected imbalance (mu) an injection device for filling one or more chambers with water to At least almost compensate for the detected imbalance in rotating drum.
  • Known drum washing machines have a tub suspended in the housing suspended in the tub, in which a horizontally rotatable drum is mounted.
  • the tub is due to the laundry or imbalance in vibration, the best intercepted due to the resilient suspension and additional damping or not transferred to the housing or the floor.
  • the swing of the tub must be monitored so that at the risk of excessive vibration, the washing motion or the spin cycle can be stopped so that no damage caused by a collision of the tub with the housing or other component.
  • the laundry weight or an imbalance can be determined on the basis of the vibration behavior, so that compensatory measures, such as a redistribution of the laundry, can be made.
  • a washing machine which comprises a horizontally rotating drum in a swinging tub.
  • the drum contains on an end wall balancing chambers, in which, depending on the imbalance position, liquid is injected to compensate for the imbalance.
  • the water is supplied at high pressure in each case to three valves by means of a pumping system, which in turn are controlled by the control device or, if necessary, switched.
  • Each valve is followed by a line which directs the water to a respective balancing chamber associated Auswuchthunt. Due to the large number of valves to be controlled, the arrangement is quite complex.
  • a washing machine which comprises a horizontally rotating drum in a swinging lyophilized container.
  • the drum contains at its two opposite end faces each Auswuchthuntn in the in Depending on the imbalance situation, liquid is injected to compensate for the imbalance.
  • the unbalance vector is detected and evaluated independently at the end faces.
  • the water is supplied by means of a pumping system with high pressure to a valve, which in turn is controlled by the control device or, if necessary, switched.
  • the valve is followed by a nozzle, which strongly bundles the water jet for injection into the selected chamber.
  • the DE 196 14 721 A1 discloses a washing machine comprising water-fillable drum fins mounted on the inside of the tub to compensate for imbalance.
  • the water is passed through an injection line through the tub wall into the interior of the tub, wherein the inlet of the water takes place by means of a controlled valve.
  • the DE 40 20 554 A1 discloses the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a washing machine with a balancing device, which is simpler compared to the known Auswothermtern and causes a reliable unbalance compensation.
  • the achievable with the invention advantages are that with an active, controlled component, here the pump, the precise injection takes place in the individual chambers, wherein the drum rotates during the injection.
  • the control device is also very simple, since no complicated monitoring in the water supply are necessary.
  • the injection of balancing masses takes place here by means of a metering pump, which combines the function of conveying and targeted injection by a fast repetitive reaction capacity.
  • the injection device comprises a reservoir, which can be filled by means of a water supply device already present in the washing machine to form a free flow path.
  • the requirements of the DVGW regulation for avoiding the re-contamination of the water supply network
  • An additional level monitoring ensures the uninterrupted water supply to the pump.
  • the pump is designed as a piezo-driven diaphragm pump.
  • This pump has an extremely fast response, so the precise valve function can be provided by the pump alone.
  • the pump is designed as a permanently controlled pump with movable diaphragm on the pressure side.
  • the precise injection is achieved through openings in the aperture, which are placed as needed in front of the pressure outlet of the pump.
  • the diaphragm comprises a rotating disk, which is very easy to move even when the pressure line is under pressure.
  • the injector further has a nozzle which, together with the pump, impart a valve function under the action of pressurized water, which is designed to inject a precise quantity of water into the respective chambers to be acted upon with water.
  • the interaction of the pump and the nozzle causes the controlled and exact metering of the injection quantity into the compensation chambers.
  • a balancing device with chambers is attached to each of the two end faces of the drum, each of which is assigned its own separate, controllable pump with nozzle.
  • the injection device comprises a water supply device, and a valve for a precisely controlled metering of the respective amount of water to be injected into the corresponding chamber, wherein the water supply device is adapted to supply the pressurized water from the supply network to a valve ,
  • a pump instead of a pump, the injection device comprises a water supply device, and a valve for a precisely controlled metering of the respective amount of water to be injected into the corresponding chamber, wherein the water supply device is adapted to supply the pressurized water from the supply network to a valve ,
  • This version without a pump is particularly simple and reliable.
  • the washing machine comprises a nozzle which is designed to inject the water through an opening into the corresponding chamber. Due to the adapted design of nozzle geometry in conjunction with the existing water pressure, a very precise metering he injected amount can be provided.
  • the Fig. 1 shows in a sketched view of a washing machine 1 in operating position, which comprises a support device 2 or a housing with a swingably mounted therein tub 4.
  • the tub 4 is mounted by means of indicated spring elements 8, 9 swinging in the housing 2 supporting and damped by means of dampers 10, 11 with respect to its movement.
  • a rotatable drum 3 is arranged with an at least approximately horizontal axis of rotation 6.
  • the drum 3 is drivable with a motor 25, so that the rotational movement is provided during washing or spinning. It can be seen that the spring elements 8, 9 and the dampers 10, 11 support the tub 4 on the bottom side in the support device 2.
  • the position or direction data refer to the operational installation position of the washing machine 1.
  • a balancing device 18 is mounted, which consists of several, can be filled with water chambers 16.
  • the individual chambers 16 can each be filled with water by means of the injection device 17, wherein the filling takes place when the drum 3 is rotated.
  • the drum 3 can be operated after the imbalance compensation at a high speed, for example when spinning, without now vibrations are transmitted to the tub 4.
  • the control device 5 controls the program sequence of a user-selected wash program and the injector 17 to compensate for the imbalance.
  • Fig. 2 schematically shows the injection device 17, which includes a pump 14, which sucks in water from the reservoir 20 via a supply line 15 and delivers to the nozzle 13.
  • the pump 14 acts in conjunction with the nozzle 13 as a valve, the precise, from the control device 5 (FIG. Fig. 1 ) predetermined amount of water is injected into the relevant balancing chambers 16 of the balancing device 18.
  • the water supply device 19 of the washing machine comprises at least one inlet valve 19a, here symbolically sketched as a faucet, wherein in the line to the reservoir 20, a free flow path 21 is provided to provide security against back-pollution of the supply network.
  • Fig. 3 shows schematically a version with controlled valve 34.
  • This valve is supplied via a switched by the feeder 19 path with pressurized water from the supply network. The valve is then opened and closed as required, depending on which chamber 16 is in the effective range of the nozzle 13, which is connected downstream of the valve.
  • an opening is arranged, through which the water from the nozzle 13 enters the interior of the suds container 4 to the chambers 16 on the drum 3.
  • the nozzle 13 is mounted at a predetermined distance from the container wall 4b, so that a free flow path 21 is provided.
  • a closure device 31 is provided, which can be actuated by means of an electric actuator.
  • a collecting device 33 is provided below the nozzle 13, which is adapted to catch at the opening 30 passed over water and selectively fed into the tub 4 or an emergency overflow of the washing machine 1.
