- substantially dry or dry laundry items 7 are provided in the drum 2, and subsequently an aerosol having an average particle size in the range from 1 to 10 ⁇ m is produced in the water container 29 and passed into the drum 2 via the mist channel 16. At the same time or at least overlapping the drum 2 is moved so that the aerosol with all laundry items 7 comes into contact and a connection and detachment of contaminants can be done by mechanical means.
- the water 24 in the water tank 29 is added to a detergent not shown here as a detergent. Then this detergent can be taken into the mist and the produced fine mixture of detergent and water can be conveyed into the drum 2 for an improved cleaning effect.
- steps are done to solve soiling preferably before the start of a wash program.
- a movement program can be carried out.
- additional water is introduced into the drum via the dispenser tray, with washing aids usually placed in the dispenser tray being rinsed into the drum.
- the mist or the aerosol contained in it can also be used after completion of a washing program including a rinsing section in order to counteract the formation of wrinkles or to provide the items of laundry with other desired properties.
- Fig. 2 is a schematic representation of the presently relevant parts of a non-limiting second embodiment of a washing machine.
- the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment essentially by the arrangement of the water tank 29 and the fact that not only an ultrasonic nebulizer 18 is in the water tank 29, but also a heater 22 for generating steam from the water 24.
- a heater 22 for generating steam from the water 24 in the second Embodiment prepared an aerosol / vapor mixture.
- the temperature of this mixture may be adjusted by using a temperature sensor 26 and the controller 12 to control the heater 22 and the ultrasonic nebulizer 18 to produce a suitable aerosol / vapor mixture having a predetermined temperature.
- the meaning of certain reference symbols is not discussed separately below, they have the same meaning as for the first embodiment of FIG. 1.
- water in the water supply pipe 9 flows to a water tank 29 in which a heater 22 for generating steam, an ultrasonic nebulizer 18, a temperature sensor 26, and a water level sensor 23 are placed.
- the water level sensor 23 is used to monitor the water level and to cause a water supply under the influence of the three-way valve 10, since for the operation of radiator 22 and ultrasonic nebulizer 18, a certain water level must be maintained.
- a mist channel 16 in which a fan 19 is arranged, via a sleeve 27 into the interior of the drum 2.
- an aerosol / vapor mixture is conveyed in the drum 2 in the mist channel 16.
- cold mist generated by the ultrasonic nebulizer 18 can be mixed with steam such that an aerosol / vapor mixture of a certain temperature is formed, which meets the requirements of a laundry load (Type and quantity of the laundry items as well as of dirt) is tuned.
- the aerosol / vapor mixture enters the drum 2 and thus the laundry items 7 to be treated. On the items of laundry 7, soiling is released and removed due to the action of the aerosol / steam mixture.
- a mist return line 30 goes back to the water tank 29.
- the voltage necessary for activating the ultrasonic nebuliser 18 is conducted to the ultrasonic nebuliser 18 via a line, not shown here, wherein the line can be connected to a battery, a battery or the like.
- a method can thus be carried out in which additionally an aerosol / vapor mixture of the aerosol and a thermally formed water vapor is generated, the aerosol / vapor mixture is passed into the drum 2 and the laundry items 7 are treated with the aerosol / steam mixture.
