  • the parts container may be rotatable about a vertical axis.
  • the washing machine further has a tank for cleaning liquid, which is preferably water, to which a cleaning agent is added.
  • a pump is provided which sucks cleaning liquid from the tank and can supply via a connecting line to a washing unit, which may be at least one arranged near the parts container nozzle tube, a washing gun or a spray brush.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a washing device, which has a low energy consumption and in which the cleaning liquid automatically effectively freed of impurities, so that the cleaning liquid must be replaced only after a long period of use. This object is achieved by the features of claim 1.
  • the document US 6,090,276 A basically shows the rotating of the cleaning agent in front of a filter while the document US Pat. No. 7,303,908 B1 shows a two-way manifold whose outgoing lines open on the one hand in the washing device and on the other hand in a collecting container.
  • the invention provides that the housing has a circular cross-sectional shape.
  • the housing has the shape of a circular cylinder with an upper wall, which preferably has an opening in the middle, over which the outlet opening of the washing tub or the washing cubicle is located. Under the central opening of the upper housing wall, a coarse filter is arranged, in which the cleaning liquid is dropped, which has been injected onto the parts to be cleaned.
  • the cleaning liquid drains into the housing located in the tank at a distance above the bottom of the housing has a tank bottom wall with a central outlet opening for the cleaning liquid, which is connected by a line section with the suction port of the pump, the the bottom wall is arranged.
  • the space containing the pump is greatly heated by the operation of the pump.
  • the housing including its upper end wall is thermally insulated.
  • the bottom wall of the tank with the central exit opening for the cleaning fluid need not be thermally insulated.
  • the invention provides that in the connecting line a filter housing is turned on with a filter through which the pump presses the cleaning liquid. Downstream of the filter housing, a manifold is connected in the connecting line, from which a line branches, which leads through the wall of the housing into the tank and there introduces the detergent tangentially into the round tank, such that the cleaning agent in the tank in rotation is offset.
  • the cleaning liquid is supplied from the two-way manifold of the washing unit, wherein the enriched with dirt particles Cleaning fluid falls through the coarse filter into the tank.
  • the coarse filter Retains the coarse impurities, however, contains the cleaning liquid in the tank a variety of fine dirt particles, which are distributed in the tank.
  • the pump Upon completion of the wash, the pump continues to operate, and the two-way manifold now introduces the cleaning liquid laterally into the tank, thereby rotating the cleaning agent in the tank.
  • the floating in the cleaning liquid dirt particles are gradually transported to the center of the tank, where they accumulate over the suction port of the pump and are pumped by the pump into the filter housing and through the filter cartridge arranged therein.
  • the cleaning fluid heats up after 4.5 to 6 hours of pump operation to a temperature between about 48 ° C and 70 ° C, so that the washer requires no separate heating for the cleaning fluid.
  • the heat comes from the pump and its electric motor.
  • a metallic tube is connected, which is strongly heated in the pump room.
  • the tube preferably made of stainless steel, runs helically in order to extend the path of the cleaning fluid through the "heating tube" before it can be connected to the e.g. made of plastic connecting line connects.
  • the heating is enhanced when the further conduit leading into the tank is connected in the tank to a circular extending tube having a smaller inner diameter of about 3 to 10 mm and extending over at least half of the peripheral wall of the tank. It has been found in experiments that the cleaning liquid heats up all the more the same conditions the more the pipe extends in a circle. When extended over the entire circumference of the tank (near its peripheral wall), after the same duration of the process a significantly higher Temperature than in an extension of the tube only over half of the circumference.
  • the pump is preferably a centrifugal pump having a power of about 0.1 kilowatt to about 3.0 kilowatts, depending on the size of the tank, which preferably contains 30 to 200 liters of cleaning fluid.
  • the circular pipe is preferably made of stainless steel.
  • the washing device according to the invention consumes very little energy. While the pump frees the cleaning fluid highly effectively from all dirt particles while the washing mode is at rest, the cleaning fluid is heated without additional heating device.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show purely schematically a washing device, which has a heat-insulated housing 1, which contains a cylindrical peripheral wall 2, the is bounded above by a wall 3 with a central opening 4. Above the housing 1, a washing tub 5 is arranged, are washed in the dirty parts.
  • the housing 1 contains in its upper region a tank 6, which is bounded approximately at half the height by a non-insulated wall 7, which contains a central outlet opening 8 for the cleaning liquid.
  • the outlet opening 8 is connected by a pipe section 9 with the suction port of a pump 10, which is located in the space 11 below the tank 6.
  • the space 11 is closed by a bottom wall 12 and vented through slots 13 in the peripheral wall.
  • a helically extending stainless steel tube 28 which is heated in the pump room, which can be up to 65 ° C, is heated to a connecting line 14, which extends to a filter housing 15 in which a Filter cartridge 16 is arranged, through which the cleaning liquid is pressed.
  • the connecting line 14 leads to a manifold 17, where the line 14 branches into a line 18 and a line 19.
  • a valve can be arranged in order to release one or the other line with the aid of a control device.
  • the two valves can also be arranged a three-way valve.
  • the line 19 leads to a stopcock 20 for a washing gun 21, which is connected by means of a hose 22 to the stopcock.
  • the conduit 18 passes through the wall 2 of the tank 6 and contains at its end projecting into the interior of the tank 6 a nozzle 23.
  • a steel pipe 24 is connected, which extends at a small distance along the cylindrical peripheral wall. 2 of the housing 1 extends.
  • the tube 24 has a very small inner diameter of a few millimeters and is arranged horizontally in the tank 6. The tube 24 extends almost over the entire circumference of the wall 2.
  • the cleaning liquid enriched with dirt particles falls into a coarse filter 25, which is arranged below the opening 4. Fine dirt particles reach the tank 6 with the cleaning liquid.
  • FIG. 2 indicates that during the rotary movement of the cleaning liquid the foreign particles are conveyed to the center of the tank 6, from where they are sucked by the pump 10. These foreign particles are secreted in the filter cartridge 16.
