Definitions

  • the invention relates to a household appliance, in particular a washing machine or a dishwasher, with a tub for receiving the laundry, with a fresh water supply for supplying fresh water, with a water tank for temporarily storing process water and water conveying means for supplying process water from the water tank into the tub.
  • the invention also relates to the combination of a first household appliance of this type with a second, condensate water-producing domestic appliance (see EP-A-1 548 173 ).
  • EP909848 and EP2397062 describe household appliances, in particular washing machines or dishwashers, with a water tank for temporary storage of process water and with water conveyors for supplying process water from the water tank into the tub. Such a water tank makes it possible to reduce the water consumption, for example by not slightly discarded rinsing water of one of the last rinsing phases of a first washing process is not discarded, but is used for pre-rinsing in a next washing process.
  • EP1548173 describes a combination of washing machine and dryer, which are hydraulically coupled by a line.
  • the household appliance has in addition to the supply of fresh water via a condensate water supply for supplying condensate water in the water tank.
  • the condensate water supply is designed so that it the supply of condensate water "from the outside", i. from outside the device, e.g. via a condensate connection accessible from the outside of the device.
  • condensate water can be supplied to the apparatus, as e.g. in a tumble dryer, a dehumidifier or other household appliance.
  • the water tank anyway provided in the device and its water-conveying means are used, only a few additional components are required.
  • the household appliance is preferably a washing machine. But it can also be a dishwasher or possibly another type of household appliance.
  • the invention also relates to the combination of a first household appliance, which is equipped with the aforementioned condensate water supply, with a second, condensate water-producing household appliance.
  • the second household appliance is connected to the condensate water supply of the first household appliance. In this way, the condensate water from the second household appliance can be reused as fresh water in the first household appliance.
  • the second household appliance is preferably a tumble dryer or a dehumidifier. In such devices regularly falls to a useful amount Condensate water on. In addition, they are often operated in the same room as a washing machine.
  • FIG. 1 shows a washing machine together with a second home appliance.
  • a washing machine 1a as the first household appliance and a second household appliance 1b are shown.
  • the second household appliance may be, for example, a tumble dryer.
  • the washing machine has a tub 2, in which a drum 3 is arranged for receiving the laundry.
  • the apparatus has a fresh water supply 4 with valve 5, which supplies water to a mixing chamber 6, in which in a known manner detergent, e.g. can be introduced into a mixing drawer 7.
  • the water From the mixing chamber 6, the water enters the tub 2. From there it can be discharged via a sump 8.
  • a drain pump 10 connected to the sump 8 into a drain pipe 11 connected to the sewer.
  • the drain pipe 11 is shown outside the housing of the device 1a, but it can also be arranged within the same. In any case, it is considered in the present context as part of the device 1a.
  • a first tank pump 12 is provided with which process water from the sump 8 via a Connecting line 34 can be promoted in a water tank 14.
  • the process water passes through a second tank pump 15 (normally switched off in this process).
  • the second tank pump 15 forms a water conveyor to convey the water via a riser 16 from the water tank 14 back into the tub 2.
  • the first tank pump 12 is operated to prevent a direct return flow into the sump 8, so that the water via the line 16 is pumped into the mixing chamber 6 and can flow from there into the tub 2.
  • process water from a post-rinse phase of a washing process with the first tank pump 12 can be conveyed into the water tank 14. Then, the washing process is completed and the material to be cleaned is removed from the tub 2. Thereafter, in a next washing process, in which new material is washed, the process water, for example, in a prewash or main wash, from the water tank 14 with the second tank pump 15 via the mixing chamber 6 to the tub 2 is supplied. In this way, the water consumption can be greatly reduced.
  • the household appliance is thus designed to drain rinse water from a first washing process into the water tank 14 and to feed rinse water from the water tank 14 back to the tub 2 in a second, later washing process.
  • the device now also has a condensate water supply 20.
  • This includes a condensate water connection 21, which is arranged for example on the outside of the device or easily accessible inside the device.
  • the condensate water connection 21 is such that a second household appliance 1b can be connected, for example, with a suitable hose or tube 22.
  • the second household appliance 1 b is such that condensate water is produced during its operation.
  • the second domestic appliance 1 b may be a tumble dryer or a dehumidifier as used in laundry drying, and the condensed water precipitated from the air or laundry becomes the hose or tube 22 and thus the condensate water supply 20 supplied to the first household appliance 1a.
  • the condensate water passes to a feed branch 24, from which a first line 25 leads to the water tank 14 and a second line 26 to the outflow 11. Depending on requirements, the condensate water can thus be supplied to the water tank 14 or the drain 11.
  • a switching valve For switching between the first line 25 and the second line 26, for example, a switching valve can be used.
  • another solution is provided by at least a portion of the second conduit 26 is higher than the first conduit 25, so that the condensate water, as far as possible, flows due to gravity through the first conduit 25 and thus into the water tank 14. If this is made impossible, for example by a valve closing the first line 25, or by damming the condensate water in the first line 25 in another way, the condensate water drains via the second line 26 and is thus discharged into the drain.
  • an overflow valve 28 is advantageously arranged, which closes the condensate water supply in imminent overfilling of the water tank 14. Otherwise, when overfilling the water tank 14, the water would flow via the riser 16 and the connecting line 34 into the pump 12 and thus into the sump 8, which is undesirable.
  • the overflow valve 28 has a float 29, which is pivotally or otherwise vertically movable in the water tank 14 and carries a valve body 30 which is pressed at increasing water level in a valve seat and closes the overflow valve.
  • the spill valve may also be e.g. be designed as an electromagnetically operable valve, which is controlled by a level sensor 31.
  • the level sensor 31, which serves to detect an impending overfilling of the water tank 14, may e.g. be arranged in the water tank 14, in the first conduit 25 or on the riser 16. He can e.g. optically, pressure-controlled or electrically configured (via resistance measurement) or be actuated via a float.
  • the first domestic appliance 1a may have a controller 32 which is electrically connected to the second domestic appliance 1b in order to control and in particular interrupt the supply of condensate water from the second domestic appliance 1b.
  • the controller 32 e.g. when the water tank 14 is full, stop the supply of additional condensate water, and turn it back on only when condensate water is needed.
  • the tank 14 may also be configured such that a highest point of the connecting pipe 34 between the water tank 14 and the sump 8 is higher than the highest point of the second pipe 26 (not shown). In this case, the condensate water drains automatically via the second line 26 before water can flow from the tank 14 via the connecting line 34 into the sump.
  • a vent line 33 is provided. This connects in the illustrated embodiment, the water tank 14 with the Mixing chamber.
  • the vent can also be done in other ways.
  • the second domestic appliance 1 b is preferably arranged above the first household appliance 1 a (ie, higher than the first domestic appliance 1 a), so that the condensate water flows into the first domestic appliance 1 a due to gravity. Otherwise, however, a pump may be provided for conveying the condensate water from the second to the first household appliance.
  • the first household appliance 1a is preferably designed as a washing machine. However, it can also be a dishwasher. Even with dishwashers, water tanks may be provided for temporary storage of process water, cf. eg WO 2005/051157 , These water tanks can basically be fed in the manner described above with condensate water from a second household appliance. The above description applies accordingly also for dishwashers.
