  • the domestic appliance 100 is designed to pump liquor liquid which has been removed from the fluid container 101, as required, back into the fluid container 101, in order to make the liquid again available to a washing process.
  • the FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of a pumping device 103.
  • the pumping device 103 includes a drive 105, which is designed for example as a brushless DC motor (BLDC motor).
  • the drive 105 is powered by a power supply 108.
  • the drive 105 is connected to a first impeller 107 and a second impeller 109.
  • the first impeller 107 and the second impeller 109 in this case have a common drive axis 106, wherein in each case between the drive 105 and each impeller, ie between the drive 105 and the first impeller 107 and between the drive 105 and the second impeller 109 are each arranged on the common drive axle 106, a first freewheel drive 119 and a second freewheel drive 121.
  • the first freewheel drive 119 and the second freewheel drive 121 which are respectively assigned to the first impeller 107 and the second impeller 109, are designed such that the rotation of the common drive axle 106 by the drive 105 in a first rotational direction drives only the first impeller 107, wherein the second impeller 109 is not driven by its associated freewheel drive 121.
  • the drive 105 is operated in a second rotational direction opposite to the first rotational direction, and the common drive shaft 106 connected to the drive 105 is moved in the corresponding second rotational direction, only the second impeller 109 becomes operated via the drive 105.
  • the first impeller 107 is arranged by means of the first freewheel drive 119 on the common drive axle 106, this does not rotate with rotation in the second direction of rotation. Consequently, depending on the direction of rotation, with which the drive 105 drives the common drive axle 106, only one of the two impellers, ie either the first impeller 107 when driving the common drive axle 106 in a first direction of rotation or the second impeller 109 when driving the common Drive axle 106 in the opposite or the second direction of rotation, operated.

  • a second fluid connection 126 of the Suction chamber 124 of the pumping device 103 realized with the second pressure chamber 115 of the pumping device 103. Since the second impeller 109 is located within the second pressure chamber 115, the rotation of the second impeller 109 causes a flow of the liquor liquid in the second conveying direction out of the second pressure chamber 115 as a consequence. For example, the liquor liquid can subsequently be supplied to a washing process in the domestic appliance 100 again.
  • the function of the pumping device 103 and the conveying direction of the pumping device 103 can be controlled.
  • a common filter device for the first fluid connection 125 to the first pressure chamber 113 and for the second fluid connection 126 to the second pressure chamber 115 is arranged.
  • This filter device may, for example, have different passage openings for the first and the second fluid connection.
  • the filter device can be replaced.
  • the replaceable filter device can be designed here as a limescale filter, as a lint filter, foreign body trap or as any other filter device.
  • the pump device 103 has a closure 123 for cleaning or maintenance of the pump device 103.

  • Such a closure 123 allows improved accessibility of the first impeller 109 to cleaning or to Maintenance purposes. It would also be conceivable, for example, to arrange a further closure on the pump device 103 in order to allow access to the second impeller 109 within the second pressure chamber 115.
  • independent and independently arranged fluid connections between the fluid container 101 and the first pressure chamber 113 and the second pressure chamber 115 may be provided.
  • the household appliance 100 is particularly susceptible to disturbances caused by blockages. In the event of contamination or clogging of the pumping device 103 thus not necessarily both fluid connections are blocked and consequently not both pressure chambers disturbed. As a consequence, both operating states would not fail and limited operation of the household appliance 100 would still be possible.
  • both the fluid connection for the first pressure chamber 113 and the fluid connection for the second pressure chamber 115 each have interchangeable filter devices. These are arranged to be accessible to users of the household appliance.
  • the filter devices have properties that allow a user to easily remove them from the domestic appliance 100, for example by a plug or a screw connection, and to replace a clogged or defective filter device with new filter devices.
  • the filter devices are manually interchangeable without having to use a special tool for this purpose.
