Definitions

  • the invention is in the field of energy-saving and resource-saving, a working fluid (especially water) leading devices, such as in particular washing machines, washer-dryers or dishwashers.
  • washing liquid is to be understood as meaning a liquid process medium, for example the washing liquor in a washing machine and / or the corresponding rinsing water in subsequent rinsing cycles. Included with this term are also used in other liquid-conducting household appliances media, such as the cleaning and rinsing water of a dishwasher.
  • the invention relates to a device for temporary storage of operating fluid in a household appliance with a liquid storage with a tubular storage space into which the operating fluid enters through an inlet opening for temporary storage and from which the operating fluid, if necessary, exits from an outlet opening, and with a cleaning device.
  • the DE 10 2005 055 648 A1 describes a washing machine with a water storage, is controlled by providing information about the current energy costs of the heating process for the hot water in the water storage cost-optimized.
  • the DE 10 2009 028 357 A1 discloses a water storage in which, if necessary, washing liquor of a washing machine can be diverted through a filter to replace in a further program run a portion of the required fresh water.
  • the DE 10 2008 041 955 A1 describes a device for preheating the operating water for a water-conducting household appliance to extract heat energy from the surroundings of a heat accumulator and supply it to the process water.
  • the process water must be exposed to the increased ambient temperature over a comparatively long period of time and thus stored temporarily before it is fed into the domestic appliance.
  • the water storage is relatively large and has parallel to each other oriented partitions, which form a meandering flow channel for the process water.
  • a device for temporarily storing operating fluid in a household appliance of the type mentioned is known.
  • This device is used in particular for continuously removing insoluble contaminants from the operating fluid of a domestic appliance and, for this purpose, comprises an eddy-current separator.
  • the known device consists of a straight, cylindrical tube with a tangentially opening in the upper region inlet opening for the operating fluid to be cleaned, a mounted in the lower end of the pipe outlet to the expiry of the deposited dirt particles and also centrally located at the upper end of the pipe outlet, through which the depleted of debris operating fluid the Wirbelstromabscheider leaves.
  • the fear remains that the liquid storage is not in any case in a completely purified state and in particular deposits (for example, so-called. Biofilms) attach to the inner walls of the liquid reservoir.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a device for temporary storage of operating fluid in a household appliance, which ensures a comprehensive cleaning not only of the operating fluid, but in particular the deposit critical, come into contact with the operating fluid surfaces of the fluid reservoir, in addition to have the largest possible capacity for individually adaptable and optimized space.
  • the cleaning device comprises a cleaning agent that moves during the cleaning process between the inlet opening and the outlet opening of the tubular storage space.
  • An essential advantage of the invention consists in the fact that in the channel or tubular storage geometry extremely effective measures for water treatment or for internal cleaning of the memory can be used without complex precautions must be taken to ensure that actually reaches all areas of the memory to be cleaned become. In particular, it is not necessary to provide for additional mixing in the memory.
  • tubular in the context of the invention is to be interpreted as describing a storage space in which a flow direction is defined, along which the cleaning agent can flow from the inlet opening to the outlet opening, which storage space is elongated along the flow direction and in each case transversely extending to the flow direction is much less expanded than along the flow direction.
  • the shape of each such cross section is not fixed; in particular, such a cross-section need not necessarily be circular, elliptical or otherwise round.
  • the cleaning agent works relative to the inner walls of the memory or along and by the stored operating fluid, a comprehensive and intensive cleaning is guaranteed.
  • the liquid reservoir can then be at least partially emptied in order to remove the removed contaminants.
  • an amount of liquid can preferably be pumped off and disposed of, for example, into the sewage system.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention with regard to optimum utilization of available space and the provision of a particularly high storage volume provides that the tubular storage space has at least one turn between the inlet opening and the outlet opening.
  • a turn generally a bend, but also kink, a curvature, a bow, a loop and the like to understand.
  • the liquid storage of a flexible hose such as a hose made of rubber, bendable plastic or the like
  • the storage space of the liquid reservoir may particularly preferably be spirally wound and in this case have an increasing or increasing gradient in the vertical direction.
  • the inlet opening or the outlet opening is located in the spiral center and substantially perpendicular to the spiral surface.
  • liquid storage also a Having a meandering memory space, whereby a box-shaped outer contour of the memory is made possible at maximum exploited storage volume.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the cleaning agent is a cleaning gas which flows through the storage space between the inlet opening and the outlet opening.
  • the gas flow through the liquid reservoir can preferably be promoted by level differences or a gradient / increase of the liquid storage pipes or the storage space, without the need for additional conveyors for relative movement of the cleaning gas with respect to the walls of the storage space to be cleaned.
  • the cleaning gas is preferably introduced in the lowest level of the storage space.
  • a particularly effective cleaning is possible when the cleaning gas is ozone.
  • the cleaning agent comprise at least one mechanical cleaning body.
  • Such, also referred to as so-called pigs, components can achieve the memory inner surface particularly well according to the invention, since this is preferably designed with a constant cross-section pipe inside, and thus provide a particularly effective cleaning.
  • cleaning elements for example, brushes or balls come into question, which move during the cleaning process through the tubular storage space, for example, be pulled or pushed by a direct or indirect mechanical drive.
  • the non-branched, tubular / elongated design of the storage volume allows in an advantageous development of the invention also that the cleaning agent is formed by air surges and / or fluid pressure waves, which propagate along the tube longitudinal axis.
  • This cleaning method also referred to as "air-water rinsing" provides that at low pressure defined air and / or operating fluid surges (water pressure surges) are given into the memory, which propagate with high cleaning effect or between the inlet opening and the outlet opening hike.
  • FIG. 1 shows as an exemplary implementation of the present invention, a water-conducting household appliance in the form of a washing machine 1, in the housing 2 in a conventional manner, a tub 3 with a horizontally disposed therein rotatably mounted and not shown in detail washing drum 4 for receiving the treated ( to be washed or rinsed) laundry is arranged.
  • a device 7 according to the invention for temporarily storing operating liquid 8 - namely the wash liquor or the rinse water - with a tubular liquid storage 10.
  • the liquid storage 10 is as a substantially cylindrical tube 12 having a first end 14 and a second end 15 designed. The tube has in this embodiment, about halfway along only a single bend or turn 16.
  • the tube geometry in particular the length and cross-sectional area, as well as the course and the number of bends or sweeping of the tube 12 is adjusted according to the respectively required storage volume and the available space.
  • the inner tube volume thus dimensioned forms a storage space 17.
  • the storage space thus has a corresponding meander shape, depending on the number of turns 16.
  • an inlet opening 20 is provided into which an only suggestively shown, acted upon by a drain pump 21 and coming from the tub 3 drain line 22 opens.
