Description

Laundry care device with a program selection device

The present invention relates to a laundry care device with a program selection device.

During a laundry care process in a laundry care appliance, such as e.g. a washing machine or a tumble dryer, the laundry to be cared for is cleaned or dried. Heavily soiled laundry can contain unpleasant-smelling odors that correspond to olfactory-perceived substances, ie substances that can be perceived by the sense of smell and that leave an unpleasant impression on the user's perception. For example, to remove offensive smelling odors during the laundry care process, various chemicals such as e.g. Ozone supplied to laundry to deactivate unpleasant-smelling odors.

DE 10 2012 209 21 1 A1 describes a water-conducting domestic appliance with a nebulizing device for atomizing water in a water tank and with a treatment gas generator for generating treatment gas. It is the object underlying the invention to provide a laundry care device in which an advantageous laundry care process can be performed.

This object is achieved by articles having the features according to the independent claim. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the figures, the description and the dependent claims.

According to one aspect of the invention, the object is achieved by a laundry care device having a washing drum for receiving laundry, a tub for receiving the washing drum, a first feed element for supplying water mist in the tub, a second feed element for supplying ozone in the tub, and a third supply element for supplying an additive dissolved in the tub, the laundry care device a program selector for selecting a plurality of selectable laundry care programs, wherein the plurality of selectable laundry care programs includes a first selectable laundry service in which only one of the supply elements is activatable, and wherein the laundry care appliance comprises a laundry care controller for executing the selected first laundry service.

This achieves the technical advantage that the specific activation of only one of the feed elements during the first selectable laundry care cycle makes it possible to advantageously control the laundry care appliance as a function of the laundry care situation desired by the user of the laundry care appliance.

With a weak contamination of the laundry to be cared for and no strong odor load on the laundry, for example, only the first feed element can be activated to supply water mist to the tub. The water mist is used to moisten the laundry and can remove water-soluble contaminants without the addition of detergent. As a result, can be dispensed with the laundry care on a complete Wäschepflegegang including the addition of detergent, creating a resource-saving laundry care is possible.

With an odor load of the laundry to be cared for and no soiling of the laundry, for example, only the second feed element can be activated in order to supply ozone to the tub. By supplying ozone, an effective odor reduction of the laundry to be cleaned in the laundry care device can be achieved. The treatment of the laundry to be treated with ozone has proved to be advantageous in the deactivation of odor-active substances. Ozone is a strong oxidizing agent that can oxidize and deactivate odors, thereby achieving effective odor reduction in the laundry. Through the oxidation of unpleasant-smelling odors, the odorants are deactivated and can no longer be perceived by humans. As a result, the odors lose their unpleasant-smelling properties. If there is no contamination and no odor load of the laundry to be cared for example, only the third supply element can be activated to supply the additive to the tub. The additive is any type of substance that is added by the user of the laundry care device in addition to the main care product. In a washing process, the detergent added by the user, as the main care product, has the effect of ensuring effective cleaning of the laundry to be cared for. The main care product is usually added to the dispenser bowl and can be solved by supplied water to obtain wash liquor, which is used for the washing care process. The additive supplied by the third supply element does not correspond to the main care agent, that is to say the detergent, but is a substance which is added by the user in addition to the detergent during the laundry care process in order to achieve one or more further effects. The additive may comprise, for example, various flavorings or fragrances so that the laundry after the laundry care process has a pleasant smell for the user of the laundry care appliance. The perfume may be a liquid or gaseous perfume, such as a lavender flavor or other flavoring. The additive may comprise other substances, such as an impregnating agent, to achieve impregnation of laundry items. The additive may comprise a bleaching, disinfecting, coloring, or coating agent, or any other type of material added in addition to the main care agent during the laundry care process. Thus, if only the third supply element is activated in the case of an exclusive addition of the additive, a complete laundry cycle, including the addition of detergent, can be dispensed with, thereby enabling resource-saving addition of the additive. For this reason, the program control for the selection of a first selectable laundry care has proven to be advantageous because only one particular required for the present laundry care feed is activated.

Thus, the energy consumption, the water consumption, and the detergent consumption of the laundry care device can be reduced because often can be dispensed with a complete laundry care process, and for example, the addition of water may optionally be completely eliminated. In addition, shortening the duration of the laundry care process reduces the mechanical wear of the Laundry in the laundry care device, whereby the laundry to be cleaned can be worn longer by the user.

A corresponding treatment of the laundry to be nourished with water mist, ozone or additive can be carried out before, during or after a conventional laundry care process with moist or dry laundry in the washing drum.

A laundry care appliance is understood to mean a device which is used for laundry care, such as e.g. a washing machine, or a tumble dryer. In particular, such a laundry care appliance is understood as a household laundry care appliance. So a laundry care device, which is used in the context of household management, and is treated with the laundry in normal household quantities.

In an advantageous embodiment of the laundry care device, the first supply element is designed to generate the water mist.

Thereby, the technical advantage is achieved that generated by the production of water mist through the first feeding element, the water mist specifically at the time and the tub, where it is needed. The first feeder can also be disabled if no water mist is needed. For generating the water mist, e.g. an ultrasonic generator with e.g. a piezo crystal can be used.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the laundry care device, the second supply element is designed to generate the ozone.

Thereby, the technical advantage is achieved that by the generation of ozone by the second feed element, the ozone is generated specifically at the time and supplied to the tub, where it is needed. The second feeder can be deactivated when no ozone is needed. Since ozone has a short half-life and decomposes very rapidly in air at room temperature, storage of ozone, eg in a cartridge, is not advantageous. To generate ozone, the second supply element may comprise an ozone generator. In a further advantageous embodiment of the laundry care device, the third supply element is designed to supply as additive a perfume, an impregnating agent, a dyeing agent, a coating material or a mixture of the aforementioned substances to the tub. Thereby, the technical advantage is achieved that the third supply element may contain one or more of additives that can be delivered in addition to the conventional detergent to the laundry in the washing drum. The additives do not serve as a laundry detergent during a laundry care process, but cause an additional effect on the laundry. A fragrance causes, for example, an effective scenting the laundry with a pleasant smell, whereby an unpleasant odor of the laundry can be covered, and the user of the laundry care device can remove the laundry to be nursed with a pleasant smell. An impregnant or coating is added to certain items of laundry to render the surface of the items more resistant. For example, this can lead to an improvement in the stability of leather for sensitive materials. The dyeing material makes it possible, for example, to color the items of laundry.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the laundry care device, the third supply element comprises an additive receiving container for receiving the additive.

Thereby, the technical advantage is achieved that an effective absorption of an advantageous amount of the additive is achieved in the feed by the additive receiving container, whereby the third supply element can supply the required amount of additive during several laundry care operations to the tub without refilling additive in the additive receiving container again must become.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the laundry care device, the laundry care device comprises an ozone line, wherein the second feed element is designed to supply the ozone through the ozone line to the tub directly as an ozone-air mixture. As a result, the technical advantage is achieved that by supplying the ozone in the tub as an ozone-air mixture odor reduction of the laundry is achieved even with dry laundry, which can be dispensed with the implementation of an unnecessary washing with washing liquor. If the laundry has only unpleasant odors, but no intensive cleaning needs, then the laundry to be cared for can be added in a dry state in the washing drum. The ozone-air mixture can be supplied as gas through the ozone line of the washing drum. As a result, an effective odor reduction of the laundry is effected in the washing drum, without a laundry care process must be carried out with a wet washing process.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the laundry care appliance, the laundry care appliance comprises an additive dispensing line, wherein the third feed element is designed to supply the additive directly to the suds container through the additive dispensing line.

Thereby, the technical advantage is achieved that can be supplied by the supply of the additive through the additive discharge line of the additive directly to the tub and the laundry in the washing drum. The delivery of the additive to the washing drum by the additive discharge line has the advantage that the additive does not have to be passed through the first supply element. This type of dispensing is advantageous when the half-life of the additive is low, and therefore must be quickly supplied to the laundry, or when the additive is not suitable to be supplied as an additive-containing water mist to the tub.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the laundry care device, only the first supply element can be activated in the first selectable laundry care cycle to supply a first amount of water mist to the tub or only the second supply element can be activated to supply a second amount of ozone to the tub, or is exclusive the third supply element activatable to supply a third amount of additive to the tub. As a result, the technical advantage is achieved that by the exclusive activation of a single feed element by the program selector, the feed element can be specifically activated, which is required in the specific laundry care situation. As a result, the first, second or third feed element can be activated in such a way that only the specific amount of water mist, ozone or additive feeds to the tub which is required.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the laundry care appliance, the plurality of selectable laundry care programs comprises a second selectable laundry care cycle in which only two of the supply elements can be activated, wherein the laundry care cycle control is designed to execute the selected second laundry care cycle.

As a result, the technical advantage is achieved that are activated by the selection of the second Wäschepflegegangs and the resulting activation of two feed elements, the feed elements that are essential for the implementation of the laundry care process. By eliminating the activation of the unneeded third feed element, unneeded resources, such as e.g. Water and energy can be saved, and the duration of the laundry care process can be reduced.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the laundry care device in the second selectable laundry care only the first and second feed element can be activated to supply water mist and ozone to the tub, or are only the first and third feed element activated to supply water mist and the additive to the tub, or are only the second and third feed element activatable to supply ozone to the tub and to supply the additive to the tub after the supply of ozone in the tub. As a result, the technical advantage is achieved that can be dispensed with the exclusive activation of the first and second feed element on the supply of the additive in the tub. This is particularly advantageous when in the Wäschepflegegang only a moistening and odor reduction of the laundry should be performed.

Moreover, it is advantageous that can be dispensed with the supply of ozone in the tub in the exclusive activation of the first and third feed. This is particularly advantageous if the laundry to be cared for has no unpleasant odors, so that the addition of ozone is not necessary. In this case, water mist may be supplied to the laundry through the first supply member to wet the laundry. In the exclusive activation of the third feed element and the supply of the additive can be made possible by the wet laundry improved uptake of the additive, whereby an advantageous laundry care process is achieved.

Moreover, it is advantageous that the sequential and exclusive activation of the second and third feed element can be dispensed with the addition of water to the laundry, since no water mist is supplied through the first supply element to the tub, whereby a dry laundry care process can be performed. The second supply element supplies ozone to the tub, whereby an effective odor removal of unpleasant odors in the laundry is achieved. However, since ozone is a strong oxidizing agent which can also deactivate the additive, the third feeding element is activated after the second feeding element, whereby the additive is introduced into the tub only after the ozone. Thereby, much of the ozone in the tub can be deactivated, whereby the subsequently added additive is not deactivated by the ozone, and an effective treatment of the liberated from the unpleasant odors laundry can be performed.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the laundry care device, the program selection device is designed to activate the first supply element to supply water mist to the tub, and to activate the second supply element after the supply of the water mist to supply the ozone separately to the tub. As a result, the technical advantage is achieved that an effective moistening and odor removal of the laundry in the washing drum is made possible by the sequential supply of water mist and ozone in the tub. By moistening delicate laundry fibers, such as silk, a gentle cleaning by the water mist can first be carried out before ozone is added to the laundry for odor reduction in a second step. As a result, delicate laundry fibers can be spared.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the laundry care appliance, the program selection device is designed to activate the first supply element in order to supply water mist to the tub and to activate the third supply element after the supply of the water mist in order to supply the additive separately to the tub.

As a result, the technical advantage is achieved that the sequential supply of water mist and additive in the tub effective release of the additive is achieved in the laundry. Some additives can develop their full effect on the laundry only in combination with moisture. Thus, the initial moistening of the laundry by the supply of water mist by the first feeding element serves to prepare the feeding of the additive through the third feeding element.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the laundry care appliance, the plurality of selectable laundry care programs comprises a third selectable laundry care cycle in which only three of the supply elements are activatable, wherein the laundry care cycle controller is adapted to execute the selected third laundry cycle and wherein the program selection device is configured to supply the second supply element more active to supply ozone to the tub, and after the supply of ozone to activate the first feeder element to supply water mist to the tub, and to activate after the supply of water mist, the third supply element to supply the additive to the tub. As a result, the technical advantage is achieved that an effective laundry care is made possible by the sequential supply of ozone, water mist and additive in the tub in the third laundry care aisle. For heavily soiled or heavily soiled laundry items, the activation of all three feed elements may be required. The initial addition of ozone by the second feed element causes effective odor reduction of optionally dry laundry. By the subsequent addition of water mist through the first feeding a moistening of the laundry can be achieved and also effectively removed by the water mist, the ozone from the tub, or washed out, are. Characterized the amount of ozone in the tub is reduced in the subsequent addition of the additive by the third feed, whereby an effective supply of the additive to the laundry is ensured without the additive is optionally deactivated by still existing ozone.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the laundry care appliance, at least one of the feed elements comprises a feed valve, wherein the feed valve is designed to separate at least one of the feed elements from the tub in a first position and to connect at least one of the feed elements to the tub in a second position. and wherein the laundry care controller is configured to activate the second position of the supply valve of the at least one activated supply element in order to connect the activated at least one supply element to the tub during execution of the selected laundry care cycle.

Thereby, the technical advantage is achieved that is achieved by the control of the supply valve of the at least one feed element by the Wäschepflegesteuerung, that the water mist, the ozone or the additive is delivered in the advantageous amount and at an advantageous time to the laundry. It has proved to be advantageous that the additive is added only after a certain time interval after the addition of ozone to the tub in order to avoid deactivation of the additive by the ozone. Thus, by the Wäschepflegesteuerung an effective activation or deactivation of the supply valve of the at least one feed element can be achieved. In a further advantageous embodiment of the laundry care device, the program selection device comprises a rotary wheel, a joystick, a touch-sensitive screen or a smart device for selecting a plurality of selectable laundry care programs. This achieves the technical advantage that an effective selection of a laundry care program by the user of the laundry care appliance is achieved by the rotary knob, the joystick, the touch-sensitive screen or the smart device, such as a connected smart phone or laptop. Further embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the drawings and will be described in more detail below.

FIG. 1 shows a schematic illustration of a laundry care appliance; FIG. and

Fig. 2 is a schematic representation of an arrangement of feeding elements in a laundry care device. Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a general laundry care device 100, such as a washing machine. In the case of a washing machine, the laundry care apparatus 100 may comprise a storage container 101, into which detergent may be introduced. The washing liquor required for the laundry care process is formed when water is supplied to the storage container 101 and mixes there with the detergent. The interior of the laundry care device 100 comprises a tub 103 in which the generated wash liquor is received. A quantity of laundry may be introduced into a washing drum 105, which is at least partially introduced into the tub 103. The laundry care device 100 comprises a first supply element 107, which is designed to supply water mist to the tub 103. For this purpose, water is introduced into the first supply element 107 and, for example, by an ultrasonic atomizer with piezoelectric Crystal, fine drops of water are produced, through which a mist of water drops is formed.

The laundry care device 100 comprises a second supply element 109, which is designed to supply ozone to the tub 103. The second delivery member 109 may include an ozone container, such as an ozone container. an ozone cartridge, to supply ozone to the tub 103. The second supply element 109 may include an ozone generator configured to generate ozone, wherein the generated ozone is supplied to the tub 103. The laundry care device 100 comprises a third supply element 11, which is designed to supply an additive to the tub 103. The third feeding member 11 may comprise an additive receiving container, such as e.g. an additive cartridge, to store the additive and to supply the additive to the tub 103 as needed.

The laundry care device 100 further comprises a program selection device 1 13, through which a user of the laundry care device 100 can select a plurality of selectable laundry care programs. The majority of the selectable laundry care programs comprises selectable laundry operations, in which the first, second or third supply element 107, 109, 1131 can be activated by selecting the user. The information for activating the first, second or third feed element 107, 109, 11 1 1 are transmitted via a selection line 1 15 to a Wäschepflegegangsteuerung 1 17. The Wäschepflegegangsteuerung 1 17 is connected via a first control line 1 19 to the first feed element 107, via a second control line 121 to the second feed element 109 and via a third control line 123 to the third feed element 1 1 1, to be activated feed elements 107, 109 , 1 1 1 in the context of the selected Wäschepflegegangs by the Wäschepflegegangsteuerung 1 17 to activate. Depending on the selected by the program selection device 1 13 Wäschepflegegangs the Wäschepflegegangsteuerung 1 17 can activate none, one, two or three of the feed element 107, 109, 1 1 1 either simultaneously or in succession. Fig. 2 shows a schematic representation of an arrangement of feeding elements in a laundry care device 100, such as a washing machine, with a tub 103, with a rotatably mounted washing drum 105 for receiving laundry 125, and with a collar 127 in the tub 103. In Fig 2, a circulation system for the care of the laundry 125 is shown. In a first step, air is passed from the tub 103 via an air line 129 to an ozone removing device 131. The ozone eliminator 131 may comprise an activated carbon filter which removes any ozone present in the air, for example, by deactivation by conversion into carbon dioxide. Moreover, the ozone removing device 131 may be configured to remove ozone and other odorants from the laundry care device 100 if the aforementioned substances are present. The ozone removing device 131 may be in contact with the outside air through an opening portion 133, thereby enabling air exchange with the environment. The cleaned air is then fed through a fan feed line 135 to a fan 137, which supplies the air via a fan discharge line 139 to the second feed element 109.

The second supply element 109 includes an ozone generator for generating ozone. The generated ozone can be supplied through an ozone line 141 directly to the tub 103 as an ozone-air mixture. The generated ozone may also be first supplied to the first supply member 107 through another ozone line 143, and the first supply member 107 may generate water mist to obtain an amount of ozone-containing water mist in the first supply member 107. The amount of the ozone-containing water mist is supplied to the tub 103 from the first supply member 107 through a water mist supply line 145, and the supply of the ozone-containing water mist into the tub 103 is controlled by a supply valve 147. Thus, by the ozone line 141 or the further ozone line 143, a supply of ozone in the tub 103 either as ozone air or as an ozone-water mist mixture possible. An ozone-containing water mist, or an ozone-air mixture can oxidize in the tub 103 due to the presence of ozone odors in the tub 103 and thus disable it. This causes effective reduction of undesirable odors in the laundry 125. The second delivery element 109 may be deactivated if the second delivery element 109 is not activated in the user-selected laundry care pathway. In the case of deactivation of the second supply element 109, no ozone, but only water mist is supplied through the first supply element 107 to the tub. The first delivery member 107 may be deactivated if the first delivery member 107 is not activated in the user-selected laundry care gear. In the case of deactivation of the first feed element 107, no water mist, but only ozone is supplied to the tub 103, if the second feed element 109 is activated. If neither the first supply element 107 nor the second supply element 109 are activated, neither water mist nor ozone is supplied to the tub 103.

If the second supply element 109 is activated, the amount of ozone generated can be determined depending on the laundry load, the type of laundry or the odor load of the laundry. For loading, laundry, and odor-dependent ozone treatment, existing metering systems may be provided in the laundry care device 100, such as e.g. Flow, pressure, odor or ozone sensors are used. Alternatively, even offline determined ozone concentration curves can be used to determine an advantageous amount of ozone generated by the second feed element 109 and the tub 103 is supplied.

The laundry care apparatus further comprises a water supply device 149 which is configured to supply water to the first supply element 107 via a water supply line 151 in order to ensure the generation of a sufficient amount of water mist by the first supply element 107.

The laundry care appliance further comprises a third feed element 11, which may comprise an additive receptacle for receiving an additive, and wherein the third feed element 11 is formed, the additive either directly through an additive discharge line 153 to the tub 103, or the additive to the tub 103 supplied indirectly through the water supply line 151 through the first feed element 107 and through the water mist feed line 145 as a water mist additive mixture. For example, the additive may include a fragrance to provide the laundry 125 with a fragrance. As a result, a pleasant smell of the laundry 125 for the user of the laundry care device 100 is achieved. The additive may comprise any substance which causes a user-desired effect in the wash 125, such as an impregnant or a coating agent.

The water supply pipe 151 includes a three-way valve 155 connected to the third supply member 11 by a first portion 157 of the water supply pipe 151, and to the first supply member 107 by a second portion 159 of the water supply pipe 151. The three-way valve 139 is connected to the water supply device 149 through a third portion 161 of the water supply pipe 151.

In a first valve setting of the three-way valve 155, an additive amount may be supplied from the third supply member 11 through the first portion 157 and through the second portion 159 of the water supply pipe 151 to the first supply member 107.

In a second valve setting of the three-way valve 155, an amount of water may be supplied from the water supply device 149 through the third portion 161 and through the second portion 159 of the water supply pipe 151 to the first supply member 107. In this case, no additive is supplied to the first feed element 107.

The third supply element 11 may alternatively be connected to the tub 103 by an additive discharge line 153 in order to supply the additive directly and optionally in a dry state to the tub 103.

By program selection device 1 13 for selecting a plurality of laundry care programs, either none, one, two or three of the feed elements 107, 109, 1 1 1 can be activated. As a result, a program-specific delivery of water mist, ozone and / or additive to the laundry 125 can be achieved in the washing drum 105 and thus the amount or type of substance delivered are specifically adapted to the washing situation. This is what it is for example possible with non-polluted and not odor-loaded laundry, for example, the first and second feed element 107, 109 turn off, and only one additive through the third supply element 1 1 1 to the tub 103 supply. Thus, by the inventive selection of the laundry care program effective wetting of the laundry with water, a reduction of unpleasant odors in the tub 103 or a supply of an additive to the laundry 125 can be ensured.

All of the features explained and shown in connection with individual embodiments of the invention may be provided in different combinations in the article according to the invention in order to simultaneously realize their advantageous effects.

The scope of the present invention is given by the claims and is not limited by the features illustrated in the specification or shown in the figures.
