Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for treating laundry according to the preambles of claims 1, 14 and 24. Furthermore, the invention relates to apparatus for the treatment of laundry according to the preambles of claims 9, 20 and 31.
- Laundry especially laundry, such as flat linen, moldings or laundry rolls are usually washed and then dried.
- the washing is usually done in a washing machine with a rotating drum.
- these are often designed as elongated, rotatable drivable drums for the formation of so-called continuous washing machines.
- the laundry items are constantly circulated together with a treatment liquid and thereby washed.
- the drying also takes place mainly in commercial laundries in a dryer with a rotating drum.
- the laundry items are circulated in the drum as a result of the rotating drive of the drum and the flow generated by preferably hot drying air.
- the known washing machines and dryers have proven in practice, especially in commercial laundries, although they have certain disadvantages, such as the constant movement of the laundry items in the drums leads to mechanical stress on the laundry items and the movement of the laundry items in the drums energy-consuming is.
- the invention has for its object to provide methods and apparatus for the treatment of laundry, especially laundry, which allow the greatest possible protection of the laundry and are efficient.
- a method for achieving this object comprises the measures of claim 1. Accordingly, it is provided to spray the laundry, in particular laundry, in the spread state with a liquid and / or to spray and thereby wash. That can happen without a spinning drum. Also, it is not necessary to continuously circulate the laundry items in the liquid serving for washing. As a result, the method according to the invention enables gentle and energy-saving washing while the laundry items are at rest.
- the laundry or laundry items are sprayed and / or sprayed with pressurized liquid and thereby penetrate the laundry of the pressurized liquid.
- pressurized liquid jets can be pressurized liquid jets, liquid mist and / or liquid cones.
- the spraying or spraying of the laundry items takes place with such an intensity that the laundry is washed hydrodynamic laundry.
- the laundry or laundry items can also be completely or partially immersed in a liquid.
- these are sprayed and / or sprayed liquids collected in a collecting container.
- the laundry or laundry items are then at least during a part of their treatment both sprayed or sprayed and at least in parts by the liquid, in particular the same liquid, moves, preferably pulled.
- the liquid jets are preferably produced by nozzles, in particular high-pressure nozzles or high-pressure spray nozzles.
- the energy or momentum of the relatively high velocity and / or pressurized fluid results in a relative movement, preferably cavitation and / or microjets, between the fluid and the laundry which is more intense than that of conventional washing machines by the rotating drum generated relative movement between the liquid used for washing and the laundry.
- the method it is provided to spray the laundry items in the spread and / or resting state with liquid jets at least one liquid and / or spray and optionally through a bath with liquid, preferably the same liquid to move therethrough. It is particularly advantageous to penetrate the laundry items with the at least one liquid in a spread out or extended state lying on at least one conveyor and / or at rest.
- the laundry items need to carry out relative to the conveyor, in particular a top run, on which they rest, no movement, so that they are unmoved on the upper run of the conveyor or rest.
- the nozzles for generating the liquid jets can therefore be arranged stationarily above the upper strand of the conveyor.
- An advantageous embodiment of the method provides that the at least one liquid is sprayed and / or sprayed onto a free side, preferably an upper side, of the items of laundry and at least a portion of this liquid is derived from the laundry items from an opposite side, preferably a lower side becomes. It has proven to be expedient to form a liquid-permeable conveyor belt carrying the laundry items to be washed.
- the jets of liquid impinging on the top of the laundry items at high speed and under pressure can not only be unhindered by the Laundry items, but also pass through the upper strand of this supporting conveyor or flow through it and thereby generate a hydrodynamic cavitation, which acts on the laundry and / or rinsing action. This is preferably done by high momentum high pressure liquid jets.
- disinfecting with ultrasound and peracetic acid takes place according to a preferred embodiment of the method, although it may also be a process which can be protected by itself. It is advantageous to carry out this disinfection of the laundry items in a liquid bath with the peracetic acid, wherein preferably for disinfection the laundry items are transported through the liquid bath.
- the liquid bath is vibrated by ultrasound.
- the peracetic acid can reach all parts of the fabric of the laundry.
- the disinfection can be done with a lower peracetic acid concentration in the disinfection bath, if this is caused by at least one sonotrode or the like in ultrasonic vibrations. Above all, the disinfection can also be done faster, so that the disinfection does not increase the duration of the washing process.
- the better effect of the peracetic acid in the disinfecting liquid is based primarily on the fact that the ultrasonic disinfection with peracetic acid, a hydrodynamic, acoustic gravity is exerted on the laundry to be disinfected in the disinfecting liquid.
- the disinfection in the ultrasonic bath or disinfecting bath can be carried out more rapidly and, above all, with a reduced peracetic acid concentration in the water, in particular sterile water.
- An advantageous development of the method provides that after and / or during washing at least a portion of the liquid bound in the laundry or in the laundry is removed. As a result, dirt bound by the liquid is separated from the liquid or carried along by the liquid upon removal of the liquid from the laundry. Thus, the subsequent wet treatment becomes more effective. This is especially true if, prior to rinsing a part, especially a large part of the liquid bound in the laundry of the same is mechanically and / or pneumatically separated.
- the method is provided to wash the laundry in a prewash zone and a final wash zone and to rinse in at least one rinse zone, preferably a domestic water rinse zone and a fresh water rinse zone.

- the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor with the laundry lying thereon can also be guided at least in regions through the collecting container with washing liquid. In this way, the laundry, which has been spread out on the belt conveyor, is additionally transported through the spraying and / or spraying liquid in the collecting container, in particular pulled through. This leads to an intensification of the laundry.
- the liquid collected in the collecting container can be recovered and / or reused. This takes place by transporting back the liquid, in particular process liquid, counter to the treatment direction of the laundry, for example to the beginning of the apparatus, in particular the washing zone thereof.

- Another embodiment of the method makes it possible to determine the residual moisture and / or the temperature of the laundry from at least one sensor directed at the laundry to be dried.
- the residual moisture and / or the temperature of the laundry are preferably determined by the at least one sensor without contact, for example with an infrared sensor or an infrared camera.
- the at least one measured value which is preferably determined continuously or at regularly successive time intervals, allows conclusions to be drawn about the degree of drying of the laundry. Accordingly, the method can be controlled, for example by changing the intensity of the drying of the laundry by means of the individual drying devices and / or changing the transport speed of the laundry through the dryer, ie past the successive drying devices. It is also conceivable to switch off or switch on individual drying devices on the basis of the measurement results.

- the method is provided to carry out the wet treatment, in particular at least the washing and rinsing, and the subsequent drying with a plurality of successive conveyors.
- the conveyors immediately adjoin one another so that they form a continuous transport route.
- the transport speed of the conveyors in the area of wet treatment and in the drying area is expediently coordinated, for example synchronized.
- the washed and rinsed and optionally disinfected items of laundry are thus transported in an uninterrupted passage through the wet treatment area and the drying area, in particular at the same transport speed.
- the laundry items remain spread out on the conveyor, even if the further transport takes place with several successive conveyors.
- a further embodiment of the method provides that the dried laundry items in their expanded state from the conveyor in the dryer directly to a feed conveyor a subsequent laundry treatment device, preferably a folding machine or a defect to pass.

This can be done manually, but also with an input machine, as is common, for example, from shortages. In order for the laundry items are automatically placed individually and in the extended state on the beginning of the conveyor for passing the laundry items through the wet treatment and the dryer.
- the method described above can be integrated in particular in a processing line for feeding the laundry items for wet treatment and further treatment of the laundry items after drying, for example by folding and / or mangling.
- Such an integration is therefore particularly simple and advantageous possible because the laundry items lying in the spread state on a conveyor wet and dried.
- the laundry items are usually further processed, in particular mangled and / or folded.
- the feeding of spread laundry items to the conveyor in the field of wet treatment is particularly easy with the available input machines possible, but can also be done easily manually by operators before the conveyor of the wet treatment.
