[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a washing method, in particular for washing machines and dishwashers, using electrodes immersed in direct contact with water.

0002

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is common knowledge that in standard washing and dishwashing machines, the role of activating the detergent is an electric heating element that operates on a 220 volt mains power supply. The element is immersed in water and the temperature is raised to 90xC. The capacity of this heating element is typically on the order of 2000 watts. However, the use of this heating element poses considerable risks and also generates lime, which sometimes reduces the technical effectiveness and leads to damage to the heating element itself.

[0003] The above heating elements have a high power consumption rate at the circulating level and require the installation of a consensus and a safety thermostat. Also, with this method, deterioration of the fabric is unavoidable, thus reducing its robustness and lifespan.

0004

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to replace the conventional heating element with a heating element immersed in a washing liquid.
By using one or more metal electrodes, the molecules of even cold water are instantly agitated, and the water and detergent are instantly assimilated and mixed, so the detergent does not harden on fabrics and can be completely physiologically decomposed. The goal is to create a new washing method.

[0005] Another object is to connect these electrodes to a pilot winding, preferably consisting of two wound inductances, the primary winding of which is connected to a reduced potential difference, the first in a counterclockwise direction and the second in a clockwise direction. It is to connect to a magnetoresistive type transformer.

Still another object is to adjust the temperature of the water used for washing using a standard thermostat and heating it to the desired temperature by varying the shape and dimensions of these electrodes and the pilot magnetoresistive transformer. It is to make it possible to do.

[0007] The above and other objects are achieved by a washing method which is the subject of the present invention, as will be explained in more detail below, which method comprises one or more metal electrodes immersed in a washing liquid. It is preferably connected to a pilot reluctance type transformer, disconnected from the main power supply and coupled to a reduced pressure, and operated at 50 volts or less.

[0008]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Other objects and advantages will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate how the invention may be carried out. The voltage of the mains feeder 1 is interrupted by a general double-pole switch 2 for feeding the primary winding of a transformer 3, preferably of the pilot reluctance type, for example 220 volts.

This transformer 3 consists of a stack of double C-shaped plates, the cross-section of the outer arm is smaller than the cross-section of the central arm, and consists of two windings of copper wire, the primary winding being under reduced pressure. It consists of two opposite windings connected parallel to each other at different potentials.

Output line 4 from transformer 3 is, for example,
Power is supplied to the two electrodes 8 immersed in the washing liquid 9 at a low voltage of about 48 volts. In the figure, 5 is a washing machine, 6 is a container or tank, and 7 is a drum.

[0011]

[Effects of the Invention] According to the washing method that is the subject of the present invention,
It saves about 30% of the amount of detergent used in a single wash cycle, saves more than 70% of electrical energy, and at the same time uses a low pressure of 48 volts.
Due to the vacuum connection from the mains power, the wash cycle is completely safe.

[0012] The dimensions of the immersed electrodes vary depending on the dimensions of the clothes and dishes to be accommodated, but the dimensions and the distance between the electrodes do not significantly affect energy consumption or cleaning performance.

[0013] Although the present invention has been described as an example using schematic drawings, the effects of the present invention will not change even if the accessories and the like are changed within the scope of the invention. In practicing the invention, shapes and dimensions may vary depending on specific requirements. The electronic parts of the washing machine are
Configurable for low pressures to increase inductive equipment capacity and reduce leakage. Technical details can be replaced by other technically equivalent parts without departing from the scope of protection of the claims.
