  • the technical advantage is achieved by a Filling and emptying the Wegsiphons be achieved with a liquid an air-impermeable and an air-permeable state of Wegsiphons.
  • a siphon is thus understood to mean a siphon that can be deliberately put into two states.
  • a household appliance is understood in particular to be a household appliance that is used for household purposes in households and, in particular, for cleaning or washing textiles such as laundry and clothing or also dishes and kitchenware.
  • This can be a household appliance such as a washing machine, a washer-dryer, a tumble dryer or a dishwasher.
  • the filter is designed as an activated carbon filter.
  • the filter is T-shaped to perform a filtered ventilation of the household appliance with outside air.
  • the technical advantage is achieved that ozone-containing air is prevented from escaping from the circulation.
  • moisture is prevented from escaping from the circuit and the filter can also be used to compensate for air pressure fluctuations in the circuit.
  • the ozone circuit comprises a mist generator in order to enrich the ozone stream with mist.
  • the mist generator has a tank for storing liquid for the generation of mist.
  • the embodiment can be implemented without additional actuators or sensors and takes place as far as possible with the use of existing components.

  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of an ozone circuit 103 in a household appliance 100.
  • the ozone circuit 103 is integrated into an air circuit in which a fan 106 sucks air, this enriches an ozone generator 101 and a mist generator 123 with ozone and mist and the enriched air into a tub 120 of the household appliance 100 transported.
  • the mist generator comprises a tank 111 which is filled with a liquid 113. If necessary, liquid can be refilled into the tank 111 of the mist generator 123 with a tank filling valve 115 arranged on the mist generator 123.
  • the refilling of liquid into the tank 111 is continuously necessary during normal operation of the mist generator 123, since liquid 113 is continuously introduced from the tank 111 into the ozone circuit 103 by the mist generation.
  • the mist generation usually takes place by means of a piezoelectric oscillator, which generates the mist by oscillating at a specific frequency in the liquid 113.
  • the fog generator 123 has a sensor for an upper level 117, which preferably cooperates with the tank filling valve 115.
  • the tank contents can always be kept at a defined level.
  • the tank drain valve 119 cooperates with a lower level sensor 121, which allows precise control of the tank drain valve 119.
  • the enriched with ozone and mist air in the tub 120 and the work space is brought into contact with the treated.
  • the air then flows out of the tub 120, wherein in addition a filter 105 is installed in the circuit 103.
  • this filter 105 consists of an activated carbon filter, which frees the air from excess ozone.
  • the filter 105 is T-shaped and thus provides a ventilation port 107 of the household appliance via a third outlet. Since the filter 105 is in the circuit 103, it also decomposes 100 ozone during the ozone production phase of the household appliance.
  • Fig. 2 shows a schematic representation of an ozone circuit 103 in a household appliance 100 with a switching siphon 207 in a bypass, wherein the tank 111 of a mist generator 123 and the switching siphon 207 are in a liquid-filled state.
  • the switching siphon 207 comprises an opening 109 which is connected via a hydraulic connection 209 to the tank 111 of the mist generator 123. Via the hydraulic connection 209, the switching siphon 207 can be filled with liquid 113 from the tank 111 or emptied.
  • the switching siphon 207 and the tank 111 are arranged so that their respective liquid levels are at the same height.
  • the liquid level in the switching siphon 207 can be controlled and controlled simultaneously with the liquid level in the tank 111 with existing means such as tank fill valve 115, tank drain valve 119, upper level sensor 117, and lower level sensor 121.
  • the switching of the siphon 207 between closed and open corresponds directly to the liquid level in the tank 111 of the mist generator 123.
  • the switching siphon 207 is in a liquid-filled state.
  • the bypass or switching siphon 207 is impermeable to air and forces the flow of air or ozone through the filter 105 to flow. The filter 105 is thus actually turned on.
  • Fig. 3 shows a schematic representation of an ozone circuit 103 in the household appliance 100 with a switching siphon 207 in a bypass, wherein the tank 111 of the mist generator 123 and the switching siphon 207 are in a liquid-depleted state.
  • the bypass or the siphon 207 is thus in an air-permeable state and allows the air and the ozone stream to bypass the filter 105 and to flow through the bypass.
  • This state is suitable, for example, in an operating mode of the household appliance, in which the ozone content in the circuit is to be increased.
  • the flow resistance of the filter 105 may be additionally increased and, for example, 20 times as high as the resistance of the open bypass.
  • Fig. 4 shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of an ozone circuit in a household appliance 100 wherein the switching siphon 207 is integrated into the tank 111 of a mist generator 123 and wherein the switching siphon 207 and the tank 111 are in a state filled with liquid 113.
  • the ozone generator 101 and the T-shaped filter 105 are arranged in parallel, wherein the ozone generator 101 is directly upstream of the switching siphon 207. Now, when air is sucked in by the fan 106 and brought into the circuit 103, so first part of the air is enriched with ozone.
  • Fig. 5 1 shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of an ozone circuit in a household appliance 100, wherein the switching siphon 207 is integrated in the tank 111 of a fog generator 123 and wherein the switching siphon 207 and the tank 111 are in a state deflated by liquid.

  • the siphon 207 is in an air-impermeable state.
  • the air must flow through the filter 105, freeing it of ozone.
  • an opening 109 is additionally arranged, through which liquid can be introduced or discharged into the siphon. The filter 105 is thus actually turned on.
  • Fig. 6B shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of a filter 105 in a household appliance 100, wherein the filter 105 is integrated into a hydraulically switchable siphon 207 and wherein the siphon 207 is in a liquid-depleted state.
  • the siphon 207 is in an air-permeable state.
  • the air does not flow through the filter 105, because the flow resistance through the air-permeable siphon 207 is considerably lower.
  • the filter 105 is thus virtually switched off.
  • Fig. 7A shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of a multi-stage siphon 207 in a household appliance 100, wherein the siphon 207 is in a liquid-depleted state.
  • a free breathing tube 701 with a ventilation opening 107 opens into a switching siphon 207 until just above the siphon bottom surface.
  • the respiratory tube 701 itself is designed as a filter 105, wherein the filtering effect is effected by radial passage through the filter wall of the respiratory tube 701.
  • the switching siphon 207 has an integrated bypass flow path on which allows it flowing air from the circuit 103 to flow around the breathing tube 701 side and exit from the siphon 207.
  • the switching siphon has an opening 109, which allows filling and emptying of the switching siphon 207 with liquid.
  • the ventilation opening 107 of the household appliance 100 and the diversion around the filter 105 are completely opened. In this state, for example, a mechanical ventilation through the ventilation channel outside an ozone operation can take place.
