Definitions

  • the invention relates to a laundry treatment appliance comprising a treatment room for receiving laundry, a steam generator, which can be fed via a source of water by a pump with water, a line connecting the steam generator with the treatment chamber, and an inlet for introducing steam into the treatment room.
  • the invention also relates to a method for treating laundry in such a laundry treatment appliance.
  • the DE 103 02 866 A1 describes a clothes dryer with a laundry drum and arranged at an air outlet and / or a loading opening of the laundry drum spraying device for spraying at least one additive in the laundry drum, and a control device for controlling the drying process.
  • the delivery rate of the fan can be reduced, the air flow can be switched off or the conveying direction can be reversed.
  • water vapor can be generated by heating water.
  • the DE 34 08 136 A1 describes a process for treating textile material such as fibers, textiles, hides, furs and the like, in which the material is treated with a liquid mist and dried by supplying warm air, wherein the liquid mist is formed by atomizing the liquid by means of a gas jet.
  • a gas jet a steam jet can be used.
  • the liquid is sucked directly from a container via a suction nozzle to the atomizing device, wherein the atomizing device is advantageously designed as a gas jet / liquid pump.
  • the invention was in particular the object of providing an improved laundry treatment device with a steam generator.
  • the invention relates to a laundry treatment appliance comprising a treatment room for receiving laundry, a steam generator which can be supplied with water via a water source by a pump, a conduit connecting the steam generator to the treatment room, and an inlet for introducing steam in the treatment room.
  • a nebulizer device is additionally connected via lines to the treatment space between the steam generator and the treatment room via a switching valve, wherein the Nebulizer is able to mix the vapor treatment agent in the form of an aerosol.
  • the switching valve it is possible to introduce only the generated water vapor or the mixture of the treatment agent aerosol and the generated water vapor in the treatment room.
  • the invention has the advantage that, in contrast to the methods and devices of the prior art, water vapor is not used alone as a treatment agent, but rather as a carrier medium for other, usually not be applied via steam media, for example in the household textile care.
  • the generated vapor is preferably 100% water and should be condensable in the presence of condensation nuclei. In general, it will therefore be so-called saturated steam, which is preferably heated.
  • saturated steam which is preferably heated.
  • the temperature of the steam can be selected depending on the application and treatment and the corresponding steam generator can also be selected or adjusted accordingly.
  • the steam generator is preferably arranged outside the treatment room and connected via a line to the interior of the treatment room.
  • the steam generator may be in the simplest case a device for generating hot water or a closed heated vessel or a pressure pipe system.
  • nebulizer for the treatment agent is preferably outside the treatment room, so that steam and Agent aerosol first mixed and can be introduced as a mixture in the treatment room.
  • nebulizer all known
  • Nebulizers for liquids or solid substances may be spray nebulizers, pressure nebulizers, ultrasonic nebulizers or even a Venturi nozzle.
  • the nebulizer is connected via a line to the interior of the treatment room, preferably so that the line that carries the steam, even outside the treatment room on the line that leads the treatment agent aerosol hits, so that both to to combine a mixture. Now, if this mixture is introduced into the treatment room, the aerosol particles in the steam serve as condensation nuclei, and small homogeneous water droplets are formed in the vapor stream, which consist of water and the atomized treatment agent.
  • the steam flow is conducted past the suction area of the nozzle at a high speed.
  • the to be atomized treatment agent is sucked from a reservoir and entrained finely atomized in the steam.
  • liquid substances from the fields of textile cleaning, textile care, health, wellness, cosmetics and other areas in the laundry treatment appliance can be applied to the material to be treated.
  • solid substances can be aerosolized or atomized, for example, dispersed as fine powders in the vapor.
  • the speed of the steam flow and thus the amount of substance to be atomized can be regulated. This can be done in the simplest case by switching the steam outlet paths. Equally, this can also be done via a regulation of the water supply to the steam generator or via a control of the evaporator capacity.
  • the treatment room of the laundry treatment appliance if it is a washing machine, the tub, and, if it is a conventional tumble dryer, the drum. It is advantageous to choose the supply air flow for the steam and the aerosol treatment agent so that the mixture distributed as evenly as possible in the treatment room.
  • this inlet can in Area of the drum rear wall, or in the area between the dryer heater and the drum rear wall. Likewise, however, steam generation and atomization of the medium in the vapor stream can also take place directly in the area between the dryer heater and the drum rear wall.
  • the inlet is located directly on the treatment room designed as a laundry drum, in particular in the region of a sleeve, or in the case of a washing machine or a washer-dryer also in the area between the tub and the laundry drum.
  • the inlet for the mixture can also be selected so that it is passed through the wash liquor present in the tub or by the incoming fresh water. This offers the advantage that a treatment agent can be supplied in this way via steam during the washing process to the laundry to be treated.
  • the treatment agent is advantageously provided in a storage container for a single or multiple use, wherein this container may be configured as a replaceable cartridge or as a refillable container.
  • An advantage of the invention lies in the use of steam as a carrier medium for nebulized or atomized substances, which are otherwise difficult to disperse evenly in a laundry to be treated.
  • steam mixed with a treatment agent aerosol is passed through the wash water, even low concentrations of treatment agent can be evenly distributed in the wash water and applied even after washing.
  • This can in particular circumvent the disadvantage that contained in the detergent fragrances and the like within the washing or rinsing are largely flushed out of the material to be treated or evaporate quickly due to low boiling temperatures during the treatment in the dryer and thus the material to be treated no lasting Give scent.
  • the material to be treated is usually a laundry or dry matter, which is treated in a household laundry treatment device, ie usually all laundry Types of textiles and fabrics.
  • the laundry treatment appliances for which the present invention is suitable are in particular washing machines, dryers and washer-dryers.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows the structure of a laundry treatment appliance.
  • FIG. 1 illustrated is the treatment room 1 of a laundry treatment appliance 100, which is connected to a water source 2.
  • the treatment room 1 is here a rotatable laundry drum 1, which receives the material to be treated, in particular laundry or dry material.
  • a line 6 passes water through a pump 3 in a steam generator 4. There, steam is generated, which can be introduced under pressure via a switching valve 5 and through a line 7 through the inlet 11 into the treatment tank 1.
  • This inlet 11 is arranged directly on the treatment tank 1; In the case of a washing machine, the inlet 11 could be arranged in a sleeve which seals a gap between a closed door and the treatment room 1, so that the steam from the inlet 11 can enter the laundry drum 1 directly.
  • a nebulizer 9 in this case in the form of a venturi 9, which is fed via the line 8 and via the switching valve 5 with the steam.
  • a line 12 At the suction side of the Venturi nozzle 9 is a line 12 which sucks 10 treatment agent from a reservoir.
  • the atomized treatment agent is also supplied via the line 13 via the inlet 11 to the treatment vessel.
  • the switching valve 5 it is possible to introduce only steam via the line 7 in the treatment vessel, or to introduce steam, which was mixed with the treatment agent aerosol by means of the venturi 9, via line 13.
  • This embodiment is particularly advantageous because it allows both the advantages of conventional steam treatment, as well as the additional application of other treatment agents in the form of aerosols, which are formed in particular by the Venturi principle.
