- the invention relates to a domestic appliance in a preferred embodiment as a washing machine, washer dryer comprising the further features of the preamble of claim 1, a flow of a liquid, such as wash liquor, occurring during a washing process on a tubular heating element.
- a tubular heater with individual heating pipes is the most frequently used type of heating in a domestic appliance, such as a washing machine or washer-dryer, in order to heat the washing liquor to a suitable temperature in a particular phase of the operation of the washing machine so that the detergent dissolved in the liquor is suitable Can have an effect.
- a domestic appliance such as a washing machine or washer-dryer
- the laundry placed in a washing drum also has an effect on the movement acting on it, usually through a reversing movement of the washing drum in order to achieve an optimal cleaning result.
- the tubular heater is housed in a washing machine with a substantially horizontally aligned axis of the washing drum below the washing drum but still inside a tub, which almost completely surrounds the washing drum, suitable and known fixing means for the tubular heater including its individual heating pipes being provided.
- suitable and known fixing means for the tubular heater including its individual heating pipes being provided.
- the distance between the respective walls of the suds container in relation to the washing drum is kept very small so that the suds enclosed by the suds container are essentially inside the washing drum with its perforated drum casing.
- an exception must be made at the bottom of the tub, where the fixed tubular heater is located, in order to meet the space requirements of the tubular heater and for at least the same amount of liquid surrounding it, such as wash liquor.
- This space surrounding the tubular heating element within the tub is also referred to as a heating element pocket, such a heating element pocket often having an asymmetrical structure.
- a heating element pocket such a heating element pocket often having an asymmetrical structure.
- a washing machine comprising a tubular heater, which has a structure corresponding to the above description, is for example from DE 44 35 095 A1 known.
- EP 1 857 584 A2 discloses a laundry treatment machine which comprises a tub, a laundry drum rotatably mounted therein and a plate heat exchanger.
- the plate heat exchanger is located in the area of the floor and is used to heat the liquid.
- a flap is arranged on the tub to allow liquid to flow past the heat exchanger in the washing mode and air in the drying mode.
- the tubular heating element calcifies and lint often accumulates in the space surrounding the tubular heating element, which can pass through the drum holes at high speeds during washing operations, as well as reversing washing operations. These lint cannot be completely removed from this space during the washing-out of wash liquor, since a certain minimum volume of caustic must always remain in the space surrounding the tubular heating element.
- the tubular heater does not only have an undesirable calcification, but also lint remains on the tubular heater with its heating pipes or lint deposits around the tubular heater, so that its efficiency and service life decrease.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a solution in relation to the area of the tubular heater and its heating pipes in a known domestic appliance such as a washing machine and washer dryer, after which the calcification in question and the lint deposition are avoided as far as possible.
- a washing drum which can be rotated about an essentially horizontally oriented axis and which is located in a tub which surrounds the washing drum essentially on all sides, with reference to a region between one in the circumferential direction extending jacket of the drum and a bottom wall of the tub, which is to be regarded as the bottom, there is a tubular heating element with heating tubes, the tubular heating element being surrounded by a liquid, such as wash liquor, at least when the domestic appliance is in operation, this liquid preferably being predetermined by the tubular heating element in a predetermined manner
- Operating phases can be heated, and a flow in the liquid is formed and, in some cases, a radiant panel can be used between the tubular heating element and the bottom of the tub.
- At least one flow-influencing region is formed between the tubular heating element and the bottom of the tub, which is designed such that it blocks part of the flow of the liquid in an area under the heating pipes and in an area in which the heating pipes are diverted, at least one area influencing the flow being formed on the bottom of the tub or on a radiant panel which is inserted between the tubular heating element and the bottom of the tub.
- the design of the radiant sheet according to the invention also means that the heating pipes can be flowed through with a total flow with increased flow speed. This means that the flow velocity of the liquid, such as lye, is increased compared to a situation without the design of the radiant sheet according to the invention. With increased wall shear stress between the alkali and the heating surface, the fluff and lime particles can be torn away or their deposition can be prevented.
- the radiant sheet in the sense of the invention, it has proven to be advantageous that the radiant sheet has at least one flow-influencing region in the immediate vicinity of at least one of the heating pipes.
- a more specific further development in the sense of the invention consists in that on both sides of a hypothetical line of symmetry, which can be aligned in particular parallel to the axis of rotation of the drum, the radiant panel has the areas influencing the flow.
- the at least one flow-influencing region of the radiant sheet has a fold, such as in particular with the formation of a triangular cross section.
- the at least one flow-influencing area of the radiant sheet has a raised edge.
- the at least one flow-influencing region of the radiant sheet has a deep-drawing.
- the radiant panel as such can be detachably or non-detachably connected to the tub at the bottom area thereof. If a tub is made of plastic, the radiant panel can be added during its manufacturing process, such as injection molding, for an inseparable connection to the tub.
- the invention also includes the fact that it is not necessary to use a separate radiant panel. The effects of a radiant sheet must then be simulated.
- the bottom of this tub made of plastic should have a flow-influencing geometry, as can be achieved with a separately constructed radiant panel, preferably the plastic in the area of the replicated radiant panel is a high-temperature-resistant plastic.
- the latter measure is intended to ensure that the heat radiation, which can otherwise be oriented in a suitable manner so as not to damage the plastic of conventional design, now withstands this thermal load.
- the bottom of the suds container should have a flow-influencing geometry, as can also be achieved with a separately constructed jet plate.
- the geometry influencing the flow in the bottom of this tub includes that at least one area affecting the flow is provided in the immediate vicinity of at least one of the heating pipes.
- the flow-influencing regions can be formed on both sides of a hypothetical line of symmetry in the base of the tub, these regions having a configuration similar to that of alternative designs of a separately configured radiant sheet.
- it has to be taken into account, which is a certain limitation that no shape may be used in which an inadmissible opening of the tub made of metallic material would occur. In the event of a fault, however, no problems are to be expected with regard to the thermal radiation of a tubular heater and of its heating pipes.
- Fig. 1 are already entered in an essential sectional view of a household appliance, such as a washing machine, all the parts from which the invention is based.
- a washing drum 2 can thus be rotated about an essentially horizontally oriented axis 1 of the washing drum 2.
- a jacket 4 of the washing drum 2 is at a radius R from this center of rotation or axis 1.
- the axis of rotation is oriented essentially perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.
- the washing drum 2 is essentially surrounded on all sides by a tub 3 which can hold a liquid, such as washing liquor 8. Since the Fig.
- Fig. 1 is directed to the most important features of the invention, it is dispensed with the proportion of the wash liquor, which is located within the washing drum 2, with.
- the main focus is on an area 6, which is located between the circumferentially extending jacket 4 of the washing drum 2 and a bottom wall 5 of the tub 3 to be regarded as the bottom 5.
- this area 6 there is a tubular heating element with heating pipes 7 and 7 ', the tubular heating element with heating pipes 7 and 7' being surrounded by the previously named liquid, such as wash liquor 8, when the domestic appliance is operating here.
- This liquid, such as lye is operated by the tubular heater with its heating tubes 7 and 7 ', as in predetermined operating phases. heated up.
- a flow 9 forms in the liquid 8, which is initially represented by a large number of arrows.
- a radiant panel 10 is used, which is initially used during the operation of the radiator with the heating tubes 7 and 7' to radiate heat radiated from the tub, in particular the bottom 5 keep the tub 3 away, especially since it is usually economical to make the tub from plastic, which can be sensitive to heat.
- the Fig. 1 also shows one of several drivers 11, which are located on the inside of the drum shell 4 of the laundry drum 2.
- Arrows 12 are entered in relation to the driver shown, which show the direction in which items of laundry placed in the laundry drum and the soapy water taken up are transported during operation of the washing machine. It can be seen that the flow 9 is directed opposite to the transport direction 12.
- the carrier 11 By transporting the laundry via the carriers 11, the latter is constantly raised and possibly falls back again, depending on the rotational speed which the washing drum 2 is taking up.
- the wash liquor is scooped by the movement of the laundry and the driver, which then emerges again from the drum and flows back in the gap between the tub shell and the drum, which causes the flow 9 of the wash liquor 8, which Fig. 1 illustrated.
- pipes 7 and 7 'of the tubular heating element calcify and lint often accumulates in the space or area 5 surrounding the tubular heating element, which fluff away from the laundry when the laundry is moved vigorously during washing operations detach and step out through the drainage holes of the washing drum.
- These lint can combine with the lime released from the wash liquor, especially at higher temperatures, and can be deposited in very stable layers on the heating pipe of the radiator.
- the concentration of fluff, especially in area 5 is also favored by the fact that fluff cannot be completely removed from area 5 when washing liquor 8 is being pumped out.
- the lime and lint composite material accumulating on the heating pipe can lead to heat build-up during operation of the tubular heating element, reduce efficiency and reduce its service life.
- the radiant panel 10 is to be structured such that part of the flow 9 of the liquid 8 is to be blocked in an area 13 and 13 'under the heating pipes 7 and 7' and in an area , in which the heating pipes are located, must be diverted.
- the Fig. 1 already a distribution of the flow 9, which was achieved with the measure according to the invention.
- the special design of the radiant sheet 10 also means that the heating pipes 7 and 7 'can be flowed around with a total flow 9 with increased flow speed, to which the narrowed areas 13 and 13' contribute and which can also be explained after taking into account the relevant flow laws after the invention was created .
- the radiant panel 10 In order to achieve the narrowed areas 13 and 13 ', it is necessary for the radiant panel 10 to have at least one flow-influencing area 14 and 14' in the immediate vicinity of at least one of the heating pipes 7 and 7 '.
- a radiant panel is designated 20.
- Flow-influencing regions are provided which are formed by a respective unfolding 24 and 24 '.
- an almost triangular cross section is achieved, which is the representation of the radiant sheet 10 with the flow-influencing regions 14 and 14 'of the Fig. 1 can be assigned in an easily recognizable manner.
- the radiant panel 20 is shown only in the area that is important in the context of the invention with regard to its design becomes. Otherwise, it can be detachably connected to the bottom 5 of the layer container 3, such as by a screw connection or permanently, such as by riveting or gluing.
- tub 3 is made of plastic and there is an inseparable connection to the tub, it is also possible to connect the radiant panel 10 or 20 of the tub 3 in one manufacturing process, for example by injection molding. The plastic area of the tub then holds the radiant panel through adhesive forces.
- a radiant panel is designated 30. Areas influencing the flow are provided which are formed by a respective upstand 34 and 34 'of the radiant sheet. When using this radiant sheet on the bottom 5 of the tub 3, a sharp transition is achieved, which leads to a locally very strong flow at a very high speed. The blasting off and the removal of lime particles and fluff is greatly promoted.
- the radiant panel 30 is only shown with regard to its design in the area that is important in the context of the invention. The possible mounting options are the same as for 2 a) described.
- a radiant panel is designated 40.
- Flow-influencing regions are provided which are formed by a respective deep drawing 44 and 44 ', that is to say as a result by deep drawing.
- the flow-influencing region can be formed by a respective bead. This is accompanied by a favorable shape for influencing the flow in the sense of the invention, so that the blasting off and the removal of lime particles and fluff can also be achieved to the desired extent.
- the radiant panel 40 is shown with respect to its design only in the area important within the scope of the invention. The possible mounting options are the same as for 2 a) described.
- the exemplary embodiments described can also be implemented in that a radiant panel is not used as such. Then the bottom 5 of the tub 3 must have a flow-influencing geometry which is equivalent to that used with the radiant sheet, for example in the configurations according to FIG 2 a) to 2 c) equals. It is possible to design the tub from plastic or from metallic material or from sheet metal. Will plastic as Starting material selected, the plastic material should be changed in the area of the heating pipes so that the thermal radiation emitted by the heating pipes in the event of a fault does not lead to serious functional damage to the plastic material of the tub.
- the simulation of a shape is similar to the variants of 2 a) to 2 c) make sure that no breaks or passages are formed in the base 5 of the tub. It is therefore the choice of the material of the tub to match the shaping options in order to achieve an optimal flow-influencing geometry.
- the flow-influencing region 14, 14 'described in all the embodiments of the invention or the flow-influencing structure present with it can extend over the entire length or also over part lengths of the tubular heating element with the heating tubes 7 and 7', in particular in this regard should arrive that areas of the tubular heating element that are particularly at risk of calcification are taken into account.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Hausgerät in bevorzugter Ausbildung als Waschmaschine, Waschtrockner umfassend die weiteren Merkmale des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1, wobei bei einem Waschvorgang an einem Rohrheizkörper eine Strömung einer Flüssigkeit, wie Waschlauge auftritt.The invention relates to a domestic appliance in a preferred embodiment as a washing machine, washer dryer comprising the further features of the preamble of claim 1, a flow of a liquid, such as wash liquor, occurring during a washing process on a tubular heating element.
Ein Rohrheizkörper mit einzelnen Heizrohren stellt bei einem Hausgerät, wie Waschmaschine oder Waschtrockner, die am häufigsten zum Einsatz kommende Art einer Heizung dar, um Waschlauge in einer jeweiligen Phase des Betriebs der Waschmaschine auf eine geeignete Temperatur aufzuheizen, damit das in der Lauge gelöste Waschmittel seine Wirkung entfalten kann. Hinzukommend zur Wirkung von Temperatur und Waschmittel wirkt auch noch auf die in einer Waschtrommel eingebrachte Wäsche, die auf diese einwirkende Bewegung ein, meist durch eine reversierende Bewegung der Waschtrommel, um ein optimales Reinigungsergebnis zu erzielen.A tubular heater with individual heating pipes is the most frequently used type of heating in a domestic appliance, such as a washing machine or washer-dryer, in order to heat the washing liquor to a suitable temperature in a particular phase of the operation of the washing machine so that the detergent dissolved in the liquor is suitable Can have an effect. In addition to the effect of temperature and detergent, the laundry placed in a washing drum also has an effect on the movement acting on it, usually through a reversing movement of the washing drum in order to achieve an optimal cleaning result.
Der Rohrheizkörper ist bei einer Waschmaschine mit im Wesentlichen horizontal ausgerichteter Achse der Waschtrommel unterhalb der Waschtrommel aber noch innerhalb eines die Waschtrommel im Wesentlichen fast vollständig umgebenden Laugenbehälters untergebracht, wobei geeignete und grundsätzlich bekannte Fixiermittel für den Rohrheizkörper samt seiner einzelnen Heizrohre vorgesehen sind. Der Abstand der jeweiligen Wände des Laugenbehälters in Bezug auf die Waschtrommel wird sehr gering gehalten, damit die vom Laugenbehälter eingefasste Lauge sich in Wesentlichen im Inneren der Waschtrommel mit deren gelochtem Trommelmantel befindet. Am Boden des Laugenbehälters, wo sich der fixierte Rohrheizkörper befindet, muss jedoch eine Ausnahme gemacht werden, um dem Raumbedarf des Rohrheizkörpers sowie für eine mindestens denselben umgebenden Flüssigkeitsmenge, wie Waschlauge, gerecht zu werden. Dieser den Rohrheizkörper umgebende Raum innerhalb des Laugenbehälters wird auch mit Heizkörpertasche bezeichnet, wobei eine solche Heizkörpertasche oft einen unsymmetrischen Aufbau hat. Aus Sicherheitsgründen befindet sich immer Flüssigkeit, wie Lauge, in dem den Rohrheizkörper umgebenden Raum, damit auch bei Start eines Waschprogramms, wenn der Laugenbehälter noch nicht bestimmungsgemäß mit Lauge aufgefüllt ist, kein Durchbrennen der Rohre des Rohrheizkörpers auftreten kann. Der Rohrheizkörper wird sozusagen immer von einem Laugensumpf umgeben,The tubular heater is housed in a washing machine with a substantially horizontally aligned axis of the washing drum below the washing drum but still inside a tub, which almost completely surrounds the washing drum, suitable and known fixing means for the tubular heater including its individual heating pipes being provided. The distance between the respective walls of the suds container in relation to the washing drum is kept very small so that the suds enclosed by the suds container are essentially inside the washing drum with its perforated drum casing. However, an exception must be made at the bottom of the tub, where the fixed tubular heater is located, in order to meet the space requirements of the tubular heater and for at least the same amount of liquid surrounding it, such as wash liquor. This space surrounding the tubular heating element within the tub is also referred to as a heating element pocket, such a heating element pocket often having an asymmetrical structure. For safety reasons, there is always liquid, such as lye, in the space surrounding the tubular heater, so that even when one starts Washing program, if the tub is not yet properly filled with alkali, the tubes of the tubular heater cannot burn out. The tubular heater is always surrounded by a lye sump, so to speak
Eine Waschmaschine umfassend einen Rohrheizkörper, welche einen der vorstehenden Beschreibung entsprechenden Aufbau aufweist, ist beispielsweise aus
Ferner wird in
Bei ständigen Waschvorgängen tritt der Nachteil auf, dass der Rohrheizkörper verkalkt und sich in dem, den Rohrheizkörper umgebenden, Raum vielfach Flusen ansammeln, die bei Waschvorgängen, wie auch reversierenden Waschvorgängen, mit hohen Drehzahlen durch die Trommellöcher hindurch treten können. Diese Flusen können bei Abpumpvorgängen von Waschlauge nicht vollständig aus diesem Raum entfernt werden, da ja stets ein gewisses Mindestvolumen an Lauge in dem den Rohrheizkörper umgebenden Raum verbleiben muss. Leider weist daher der Rohrheizkörper nicht nur eine unerwünschte Verkalkung auf, sondern es bleiben auch Flusen an dem Rohrheizkörper mit seinen Heizungsrohren kleben bzw. Flusen lagern sich den Rohrheizkörper umgebend ab, so dass dessen Wirkungsgrad und dessen Lebensdauer sinken.In the case of constant washing processes, the disadvantage arises that the tubular heating element calcifies and lint often accumulates in the space surrounding the tubular heating element, which can pass through the drum holes at high speeds during washing operations, as well as reversing washing operations. These lint cannot be completely removed from this space during the washing-out of wash liquor, since a certain minimum volume of caustic must always remain in the space surrounding the tubular heating element. Unfortunately, therefore, the tubular heater does not only have an undesirable calcification, but also lint remains on the tubular heater with its heating pipes or lint deposits around the tubular heater, so that its efficiency and service life decrease.
Es wird noch angegeben, dass Hausgeräte, wie Waschmaschinen und Waschtrockner, aus Gründen, um die Wärmestrahlung von einem bestimmten Bereich fernzuhalten, ein Strahlblech benachbart zu dem Rohrheizkörper sowie seine zugehörigen Heizrohren aufweisen können. Ein solches Strahlblech ist auch bereits in der
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht daher darin, bei einem bekannten Hausgerät, wie Waschmaschine, Waschtrockner eine Lösung in Bezug auf den Bereich des Rohrheizkörpers und dessen Heizungsrohren zu schaffen, wonach die in Rede stehende Verkalkung sowie die Flusenablagerung möglichst weitestgehend vermieden wird.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a solution in relation to the area of the tubular heater and its heating pipes in a known domestic appliance such as a washing machine and washer dryer, after which the calcification in question and the lint deposition are avoided as far as possible.
Nach der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass bei einem Hausgerät in bevorzugter Ausbildung als Waschmaschine, Waschtrockner, mit einer um eine im Wesentlichen horizontal ausgerichtete Achse drehbaren Waschtrommel, die sich in einem die Waschtrommel im Wesentlichen allseitig umgebenden Laugenbehälter befindet, wobei bezogen auf einen Bereich zwischen einem in Umfangsrichtung sich erstreckenden Mantel der Trommel und einer als Boden anzusehender unteren Wand des Laugenbehälters ein Rohrheizkörper mit Heizrohren befindlich ist, wobei mindestens im Betrieb des Hausgerätes der Rohrheizkörper von einer Flüssigkeit, wie Waschlauge, umgeben ist, wobei diese Flüssigkeit bevorzugt durch den Rohrheizkörper in vorbestimmten Betriebsphasen aufheizbar ist, und eine Strömung in der Flüssigkeit sich ausbildet und wobei fallweise zwischen dem Rohrheizkörper und dem Boden des Laugenbehälters ein Strahlblech einsetzbar ist. Es nun vorgesehen ist, dass zwischen dem Rohrheizkörper und dem Boden des Laugenbehälters mindestens ein strömungsbeeinflussenden Bereich ausgebildet ist, welcher derart ausgebildet ist, dass er ein Teil der Strömung der Flüssigkeit in einem Bereich unter den Heizrohren blockiert und in einen Bereich, in dem die Heizrohre befindlich sind, umleitet, wobei mindestens der eine strömungsbeeinflussende Bereich am Boden des Laugenbehälters oder an einem Strahlblech, welches zwischen dem Rohrheizkörper und dem Boden des Laugenbehälters eingesetzt ist, ausgebildet ist.According to the invention, it is provided that in a household appliance in a preferred embodiment as a washing machine, washer-dryer, with a washing drum which can be rotated about an essentially horizontally oriented axis and which is located in a tub which surrounds the washing drum essentially on all sides, with reference to a region between one in the circumferential direction extending jacket of the drum and a bottom wall of the tub, which is to be regarded as the bottom, there is a tubular heating element with heating tubes, the tubular heating element being surrounded by a liquid, such as wash liquor, at least when the domestic appliance is in operation, this liquid preferably being predetermined by the tubular heating element in a predetermined manner Operating phases can be heated, and a flow in the liquid is formed and, in some cases, a radiant panel can be used between the tubular heating element and the bottom of the tub. It is now provided that at least one flow-influencing region is formed between the tubular heating element and the bottom of the tub, which is designed such that it blocks part of the flow of the liquid in an area under the heating pipes and in an area in which the heating pipes are diverted, at least one area influencing the flow being formed on the bottom of the tub or on a radiant panel which is inserted between the tubular heating element and the bottom of the tub.
Dadurch, dass bei einem Behandlungsvorgang im Hausgerät, wie Waschen bei einer Waschmaschine durch das ständige Anheben von Wäschestücken über Mitnehmer im Inneren der Trommel, Flüssigkeit bzw. Lauge wieder aus den Löchern der Trommel austritt und eine ständige Strömung, zwischen dem Trommelmantel und dem Laugenbehälter verursacht wird, die auch im Bereich der Heizungsrohre der Rohrheizkörpers wirksam ist, wird erfindungsgemäß es erreicht, dass die Strömung im Bereich der Heizungsrohre verstärkt wird, indem eine Strömung, die ohne die erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen im Bereich unter den Heizungsrohren auftreten würde, blockiert wird. Im Ergebnis wird die Kalk und Flusenablagerung im Bereich der Heizungsrohre des Rohrheizkörpers wirksam unterbunden.Due to the fact that during a treatment process in the household appliance, such as washing in a washing machine, by constantly lifting laundry items via drivers inside the drum, liquid or alkali escapes from the holes in the drum and causes a constant flow between the drum jacket and the tub which is also effective in the area of the heating pipes of the tubular heating element, it is achieved according to the invention that the flow in the area of the heating pipes is increased by a flow which would occur under the heating pipes without the measures according to the invention, is blocked. As a result, the lime and lint deposits in the area of the heating pipes of the tubular heater are effectively prevented.
Es hat sich gezeigt, dass die nach der Erfindung erfolgende Ausbildung des Strahlblechs auch bedingt, dass die Heizungsrohre mit insgesamt einer Strömung mit erhöhter Strömungsgeschwindigkeit beströmbar sind. Damit ist gemeint, dass die Strömungsgeschwindigkeit der Flüssigkeit, wie Lauge, gegenüber einer Situation ohne die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung des Strahlblechs erhöht ist. Es können also mit erhöhter Wandschubspannung zwischen Lauge und Heizungsoberfläche die Flusen und Kalkpartikel weggerissen werden bzw. deren Ablagerung verhindert werden.It has been shown that the design of the radiant sheet according to the invention also means that the heating pipes can be flowed through with a total flow with increased flow speed. This means that the flow velocity of the liquid, such as lye, is increased compared to a situation without the design of the radiant sheet according to the invention. With increased wall shear stress between the alkali and the heating surface, the fluff and lime particles can be torn away or their deposition can be prevented.
Bezüglich der Gestaltung des Strahlblechs im Sinne der Erfindung hat sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, dass das Strahlblech in unmittelbarer Nähe mindestens einer der Heizungsrohre, mindestens einen strömungsbeeinflussende Bereich aufweist.With regard to the design of the radiant sheet in the sense of the invention, it has proven to be advantageous that the radiant sheet has at least one flow-influencing region in the immediate vicinity of at least one of the heating pipes.
Eine konkretere Weiterbildung im Sinne der Erfindung besteht darin, dass beidseitig einer hypothetischen Symmetrielinie, die insbesondere parallel zu der Drehachse der Trommel ausrichtbar ist, das Strahlblech die strömungsbeeinflussenden Bereiche aufweist.A more specific further development in the sense of the invention consists in that on both sides of a hypothetical line of symmetry, which can be aligned in particular parallel to the axis of rotation of the drum, the radiant panel has the areas influencing the flow.
Es wurde herausgefunden, dass es Alternativen gibt, wie bei dem Strahlblech nach der Erfindung der strömungsbeeinflussende Bereich ausgebildet werden kann.It has been found that there are alternatives as to how the flow-influencing region can be formed in the radiant panel according to the invention.
Nach einer ersten Alternative ist vorgesehen, dass der mindestens eine strömungsbeeinflussende Bereich des Strahlblechs eine Auffaltung, wie insbesondere unter Ausbildung eines dreieckförmigen Querschnitts, aufweist.According to a first alternative, it is provided that the at least one flow-influencing region of the radiant sheet has a fold, such as in particular with the formation of a triangular cross section.
Nach einer zweiten Alternative ist vorgesehen, dass der mindestens eine strömungsbeeinflussende Bereich des Strahlblechs eine Aufkantung aufweist.According to a second alternative, it is provided that the at least one flow-influencing area of the radiant sheet has a raised edge.
Nach einer dritten Alternative ist vorgesehen, dass der mindestens eine strömungsbeeinflussende Bereich des Strahlblechs einen Tiefzug aufweist.According to a third alternative, it is provided that the at least one flow-influencing region of the radiant sheet has a deep-drawing.
Jedoch ist die Erfindung grundsätzlich so angelegt, dass es auch noch weitere Alternativen gibt, die sich erschließen, wenn die grundsätzlich beanspruchte Lehre sowie die bis dahin aufgezählten Beispiele berücksichtigt werden.However, the invention is fundamentally designed in such a way that there are also other alternatives which become apparent when the teaching claimed in principle and the examples listed up to that point are taken into account.
Das Strahlblech als solches kann lösbar oder unlösbar mit dem Laugenbehälter an dessen Bodenbereich verbunden sein. Wenn ein Laugenbehälter aus Kunststoff besteht, kann bei dessen Herstellungsvorgang, wie Spritzgießen, das Strahlblech für eine unlösbare Verbindung mit dem Laugenbehälters beigefügt werden.The radiant panel as such can be detachably or non-detachably connected to the tub at the bottom area thereof. If a tub is made of plastic, the radiant panel can be added during its manufacturing process, such as injection molding, for an inseparable connection to the tub.
Zur Erfindung gehört jedoch auch, dass es nicht erforderlich ist, ein separates Strahlblech verwenden zu müssen. Die Wirkungen eines Strahlblechs sind dann nachzubilden.However, the invention also includes the fact that it is not necessary to use a separate radiant panel. The effects of a radiant sheet must then be simulated.
Ist vorgesehen, dass ein Laugenbehälter aus Kunststoff besteht, so soll der Boden dieses aus Kunststoff ausgebildeten Laugenbehälters eine strömungsbeeinflussende Geometrie aufweisen, wie sie mit einem separat ausgebildete Strahlblech erreichbar ist, wobei bevorzugt der Kunststoff im Bereich des nachgebildeten Strahlblechs ein hochtemperaturfester Kunststoff ist. Durch die letztere Maßnahme soll erreicht werden, dass die Wärmestrahlung, die ansonsten geeignet ausrichtbar ist, um den Kunststoff herkömmlicher Ausbildung nicht zu schädigen, nunmehr dieser thermischen Belastung standhält.If it is provided that a tub is made of plastic, the bottom of this tub made of plastic should have a flow-influencing geometry, as can be achieved with a separately constructed radiant panel, preferably the plastic in the area of the replicated radiant panel is a high-temperature-resistant plastic. The latter measure is intended to ensure that the heat radiation, which can otherwise be oriented in a suitable manner so as not to damage the plastic of conventional design, now withstands this thermal load.
Bei der Ausbildung der strömungsbeeinflussenden Geometrie im Boden des Kunststofflaugenbehälters ist zu beachten, dass es hierzu erforderlich ist, in unmittelbarer Nähe mindestens eines der Heizungsrohre mindestens einen strömungsbeeinflussenden Bereich vorzusehen.When designing the flow-influencing geometry in the bottom of the plastic suds container, it should be noted that it is necessary to provide at least one flow-influencing area in the immediate vicinity of at least one of the heating pipes.
Dabei hat es sich gezeigt, dass es günstig ist, beidseitig einer hypothetischen Symmetrielinie im Boden des Laugenbehälters, die strömungsbeeinflussenden Bereiche auszubilden, wobei diese Bereiche eine ähnliche Ausgestaltung aufweisen, wie sie bei alternativen Ausbildungen eines separat ausgebildeten Strahlblechs vorliegen.It has been shown that it is expedient to form the flow-influencing regions on both sides of a hypothetical line of symmetry in the base of the tub, these regions having a configuration similar to that of alternative designs of a separately formed radiant sheet.
Ist vorgesehen, dass der Laugenbehälter aus einem metallischem Werkstoff, wie Metallblech, besteht, so soll der Boden des Laugenbehälters eine strömungsbeeinflussende Geometrie aufweisen, wie sie auch mit einem separat ausgebildeten Strahlblech erreichbar ist.If it is provided that the suds container consists of a metallic material, such as sheet metal, the bottom of the suds container should have a flow-influencing geometry, as can also be achieved with a separately constructed jet plate.
Bei einem Laugenbehälter aus metallischem Werkstoff ist auch vorgesehen, dass zur strömungsbeeinflussenden Geometrie im Boden dieses Laugenbehälters es gehört, dass in unmittelbarer Nähe mindestens eines der Heizungsrohre mindestens ein strömungsbeeinflussender Bereich vorgesehen ist.In the case of a tub made of metallic material, it is also provided that the geometry influencing the flow in the bottom of this tub includes that at least one area affecting the flow is provided in the immediate vicinity of at least one of the heating pipes.
Dabei hat es sich auch gezeigt, dass es günstig ist, wenn beidseitig einer hypothetischen Symmetrielinie im Boden des Laugenbehälters, die strömungsbeeinflussenden Bereiche ausbildbar sind, wobei diese Bereiche eine ähnliche Ausgestaltung aufweisen, wie sie bei alternativen Ausbildungen eines separat ausgebildeten Strahlblechs vorliegen. Es ist jedoch zu berücksichtigen, was eine gewisse Einschränkung darstellt, dass keine Formgebung verwendet werden darf, bei der eine unzulässige Öffnung des Laugenbehälters aus metallischem Material auftreten würde. Dafür sind jedoch im Fehlerfall keine Probleme in Bezug auf die Wärmestrahlung eines Rohrheizkörpers sowie von dessen Heizungsrohren zu erwarten.It has also been shown that it is advantageous if the flow-influencing regions can be formed on both sides of a hypothetical line of symmetry in the base of the tub, these regions having a configuration similar to that of alternative designs of a separately configured radiant sheet. However, it has to be taken into account, which is a certain limitation that no shape may be used in which an inadmissible opening of the tub made of metallic material would occur. In the event of a fault, however, no problems are to be expected with regard to the thermal radiation of a tubular heater and of its heating pipes.
Soweit die Erfindung durch auf den unabhängigen Anspruch rückbezogene, nicht selbständige Ansprüche weitergebildet wird, so soll es so sein, dass eine zunächst angegebene Kette von Rückbeziehungen nicht einschränkend in Bezug auf die insgesamt mitgeteilte Lehre zu sehen ist, soweit auch andere Kombinationen von Merkmalen von Ansprüchen sich als geeignet und ausführbar aus Sicht des Fachmanns ergeben.Insofar as the invention is further developed by claims that are non-independent and referenced to the independent claim, it should be the case that an initially specified chain of relationships is not restrictive with respect to the total communicated Teaching can be seen insofar as other combinations of features of claims are found to be suitable and executable from the perspective of the person skilled in the art.

Die
Es wurde festgestellt, dass bei ständigen Waschvorgängen der Nachteil auftritt, dass Rohre 7 und 7' des Rohrheizkörper verkalken und sich in dem den Rohrheizkörper umgebenden Raum bzw. Bereich 5 sich vielfach Flusen ansammeln, die sich bei heftiger Bewegung der Wäsche bei Waschvorgängen von der Wäsche ablösen und durch die Drainagelöcher der Waschtrommel hinaustreten können. Diese Flusen können sich speziell bei höheren Temperaturen mit dem aus der Waschlauge freiwerdenden Kalk verbinden und sich in sehr stabilen Schichten auf dem Heizrohr des Heizkörpers ablagern. Die Konzentration von Flusen, gerade im Bereich 5 wird auch noch dadurch begünstigt, dass bei Abpumpvorgängen von Waschlauge 8, Flusen nicht vollständig aus dem Bereich 5 entfernt werden können. Das sich am Heizrohr anlagernde Verbundmaterial aus Kalk und Flusen kann im Laufe des Betriebs des Rohrheizkörpers zu Wärmestau führen, den Wirkungsgrad verschlechtern und dessen Lebensdauer verringern.It was found that with constant washing processes the disadvantage arises that
Um diese Nachteile zu beheben, ist erfindungsgemäß ein besonderer, nicht vorgezeichneter Weg, eingeschlagen worden. Es wurde herausgefunden, dass das Strahlblech 10 gegenüber einer herkömmlichen, glatten Ausbildung, derart strukturiert auszubilden ist, dass ein Teil der Strömung 9 der Flüssigkeit 8 in einem Bereich 13 und 13' unter den Heizrohren 7 und 7' zu blockieren ist und in einen Bereich, in dem die Heizrohre befindlich sind, umzuleiten ist. Insofern zeigt die
Die besondere Ausbildung des Strahlblechs 10 führt auch dazu, dass die Heizungsrohre 7 und 7' mit insgesamt einer Strömung 9 mit erhöhter Strömungsgeschwindigkeit umströmbar sind, wozu die verengten Bereiche 13 und 13' beitragen und was auch unter Berücksichtigung einschlägiger Strömungsgesetzmäßigkeiten nach Schaffung der Erfindung erklärbar ist.The special design of the
Um die verengten Bereiche 13 und 13' zu erzielen, ist es erforderlich, dass das Strahlblech 10 in unmittelbarer Nähe mindestens einer der Heizungsrohre 7 und 7', mindestens einen strömungsbeeinflussenden Bereich 14 bzw. 14' aufweist.In order to achieve the narrowed
Es hat sich herausgestellt, dass beidseitig einer hypothetischen Symmetrielinie (die nicht zeichnerisch dargestellt ist), die insbesondere parallel zu der Drehachse 1 der Trommel 2 ausgerichtet wird, das Strahlblech 10 die strömungsbeeinflussenden Bereiche 14 und 14' aufweist.It has been found that on both sides of a hypothetical line of symmetry (which is not shown in the drawing), which is aligned in particular parallel to the axis of rotation 1 of the
Hinsichtlich der Realisierung des Strahlblechs konnte herausgefunden werden, dass es dafür verschiedene Alternativen a) bis c) gibt. Diese sind in
Im Figurenteil a) ist ein Strahlblech mit 20 bezeichnet. Es sind strömungsbeeinflussende Bereiche vorgesehen, die durch eine jeweilige Auffaltung 24 und 24' gebildet sind. Dabei wird ein nahezu dreieckförmiger Querschnitt erzielt, der sich der Darstellung des Strahlblechs 10 mit den strömungsbeeinflussenden Bereichen 14 und 14' der
Im Figurenteil b) ist ein Strahlblech mit 30 bezeichnet. Es sind strömungsbeeinflussende Bereiche vorgesehen, die durch eine jeweilige Aufkantung 34 und 34' des Strahlblechs gebildet sind. Bei Einsatz dieses Strahlblechs am Boden 5 des Laugenbehälters 3 wird ein scharfer Übergang erzielt, der zu einer lokal sehr starken Strömung mit sehr hoher Geschwindigkeit führt. Das Absprengen und der Abtransport von Kalkpartikeln und Flusen wird dadurch in hohem Maße begünstigt. Auch hier wird das Strahlblech 30 bezüglich seiner Ausbildung nur in dem im Rahmen der Erfindung wichtigen Bereich gezeigt. Die möglichen Befestigungsmöglichkeiten sind gleich, wie bei
Im Figurenteil c) ist ein Strahlblech mit 40 bezeichnet. Es sind strömungsbeeinflussende Bereiche vorgesehen, die durch einen jeweiligen Tiefzug 44 und 44', also im Ergebnis durch ein Tiefziehen, gebildet sind. Es kann beispielsweise durch eine jeweilige Sicke der strömungsbeeinflussende Bereich gebildet werden. Damit geht eine günstige Formgebung für die strömungsbeeinflussung im Sinne der Erfindung einher, so dass das Absprengen und der Abtransport von Kalkpartikeln und Flusen auch in erwünschtem Maße erreicht werden kann. Auch hier wird das Strahlblech 40 bezüglich seiner Ausbildung nur in dem im Rahmen der Erfindung wichtigen Bereich gezeigt. Die möglichen Befestigungsmöglichkeiten sind gleich, wie bei
In teilweiser Abweichung der insbesondere nach den
Ansonsten wird noch vermerkt, dass der in allen Ausführungsformen der Erfindung beschriebene strömungsbeeinflussende Bereich 14, 14' bzw. die damit vorliegende strömungsbeeinflussende Struktur über die Gesamtlänge oder auch über Teillängen des Rohrheizkörpers mit den Heizungsrohren 7 und 7' sich erstrecken kann, wobei es insbesondere darauf ankommen soll, dass besonders durch Verkalkung gefährdete Bereiche der Rohrheizkörpers berücksichtigt sind.Otherwise, it is noted that the flow-influencing
