Abstract

In a laundry drum, a liquid diverter includes a driver having a driver interior and a run-off ramp therein. The driver interior receives liquid scooped and lifted by the drum during rotation thereof. The driver discharges scooped liquid in its lifted position into the drum interior. The run-off ramp is oriented horizontally or has a descending gradient when the drum rotation axis is orientated in a direction deviating from horizontal and when the drum is in a rotary position in which the driver is in its highest position, and thereby, permits, in all of the drum's rotation directions, a flow of scooped liquid on the run-off ramp in a direction of a rising part of the rotation axis when in the driver's lifted position. The liquid is conducted into only part of the drivers in a case of low liquid level as a result of the inclination.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine im wesentlichen zylindrische Wäschetrommel mit wenigstens einem Mitnehmer, die bei ihrer Drehung Flüssigkeit in das Innere des wenigstens einen Mitnehmers schöpft und anhebt, wobei der wenigstens eine Mitnehmer die geschöpfte Flüssigkeit in einer angehobenen Position in das Innere der Wäschetrommel abgibt.The invention relates to a substantially cylindrical laundry drum with at least a driver, the liquid in their rotation into the interior of the at least one The driver scoops and lifts, the at least one driver scooping the scooped one Dispenses liquid into the interior of the laundry drum in a raised position.

Zur besseren Befeuchtung der Wäsche während des Waschvorgangs ist es seit längerer Zeit üblich, die Wäschetrommel mit Flüssigkeitshebeeinrichtungen zu versehen, die im Verlauf ihrer Drehung von unten Flüssigkeit schöpfen, anheben und in einer angehobenen Position auf die Wäsche im Inneren der Wäschetrommel abregnen. In der Regel werden dazu Mitnehmer verwendet, die üblicherweise ohnehin zum Wenden der Wäsche im Inneren der Wäschetrommel vorgesehen sind. Die Flüssigkeit, die beispielsweise Waschlauge oder Spülwasser sein kann, wird durch Schöpfeinrichtungen in die Mitnehmer geleitet, von diesen angehoben und in einer angehobenen Position in das Wäschetrommelinnere abgeregnet. Die Schöpfeinrichtungen sind in der Regel im Bereich der Mitnehmer im Trommelmantel angeordnet und schöpfen die Trommel außen benetzende Flüssigkeitsmengen durch Öffnungen im Mantel und/oder in den Stirnflächen der Trommel in die Mitnehmer.For better moistening of the laundry during the washing process it has been for a long time Time usual to provide the laundry drum with liquid lifting devices, which in the Draw liquid in the course of its rotation from below, lift and in a raised Rain the position on the laundry inside the drum. Usually Carriers are used for this purpose, which are usually used to turn the laundry anyway are provided inside the laundry drum. The liquid, for example Wash liquor or rinse water can be scooped into the driver guided, raised by these and in a raised position into the interior of the laundry drum rained. The scoops are usually in the area of Drivers arranged in the drum jacket and scoop the drum wetting outside Amounts of liquid through openings in the jacket and / or in the end faces of the drum in the carriers.

Eine derartig eingerichtete Wäschetrommel ist beispielsweise aus der DE 37 12 118 A1 bekannt. Das damit durchzuführende Verfahren kann problemlos bei zylindrischen Wäschetrommeln mit waagrecht ausgerichteter Drehachse eingesetzt werden, bei denen die Wäschetrommel entlang ihrer gesamten Tiefe zwischen den Stirnflächen von Flüssigkeit benetzt wird. In diesem Fall kann über die gesamte Länge eines Mitnehmers Flüssigkeit in sein Inneres geschöpft und über die gesamte Tiefe der Wäschetrommel abgeregnet werden.A laundry drum set up in this way is known, for example, from DE 37 12 118 A1 known. The process to be carried out in this way can be carried out without problems with cylindrical washing drums with a horizontally aligned axis of rotation, where the Wash drum along its entire depth between the end faces of liquid is wetted. In this case, liquid can flow over the entire length of a carrier scooped inside and rained down the entire depth of the laundry drum become.

Falls nun die Drehachse der Wäschetrommel schräg ausgerichtet ist, kann es vorkommen, daß die Wäschetrommel nur an einem Ende in die Flüssigkeit eintaucht und nicht über ihre gesamte Tiefe von Flüssigkeit benetzt wird, so daß nur in einem beschränkten Schöpfbereich Flüssigkeit in den Mitnehmer geschöpft werden kann. Dieses Problem ergibt sich insbesondere dann, wenn der Flüssigkeitsstand in einem die Trommel umgebenden Laugenbehälter niedrig ist, wie es zur Verringerung des Wasserverbrauchs allgemein angestrebt wird. Die Mitnehmer enthalten dann möglicherweise nur in einem Abschnitt Flüssigkeit, die im Inneren der Wäschetrommel nur über einem kleinen Bereich abgeregnet werden kann. In der Regel wird in solchen Fällen die Flüssigkeit zum Großteil in der Nähe des weiter unten gelegenen Endes der schrägen Wäschetrommel abgeregnet werden und dort an der Wäschetrommelrückwand entlanglaufen ohne auf die Wäsche zu regnen. Die Beregnung der Wäsche in der Wäschetrommel über deren Tiefe ist daher bei schräggestellten Wäschetrommeln sehr ungleichmäßig, so daß ungünstig in der Wäschetrommel verteilte Wäschestücke unter Umständen nicht oder schlecht beregnet werden.If the axis of rotation of the laundry drum is now inclined, it can happen that the laundry drum is only immersed in the liquid at one end and not is wetted by liquid over its entire depth, so that only in a limited Scoop area liquid can be scooped into the driver. This problem arises in particular when the liquid level in a surrounding the drum Suds container is low, as is common to reducing water consumption is sought. The carriers may then only contain one section Liquid inside the drum only over a small area can be rained down. As a rule, in such cases the liquid becomes largely rained near the lower end of the sloping laundry drum and run along the back of the laundry drum without looking at the laundry to rain. The irrigation of the laundry in the laundry drum over its depth is therefore very unevenly with inclined laundry drums, so that unfavorable in laundry items distributed in the laundry drum may not rain or may not rain well become.

Zusätzlich tritt das Problem auf, daß die Mitnehmer zusammen mit der Trommel eine Schrägstellung einnehmen, die während der Trommeldrehung über eine waagerechte Ausrichtung bei halbhoher Position in der oberen Position wieder gleich ist wie in der unteren Position, so daß die angehobene Flüssigkeit im Inneren der Mitnehmer in dem unten gelegenen Abschnitt zurückgehalten wird, in den sie beim Schöpfen geleitet wurde.In addition, there is the problem that the drivers together with the drum Take an inclined position, which during the rotation of the drum over a horizontal Alignment at the half-high position in the upper position is the same as in the lower position Position so that the raised liquid inside the driver in the bottom is held in the section to which it was directed when scooping.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Wäschetrommel der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei der die geschöpfte Flüssigkeit mit Mitnehmern mit herkömmlicher Form schnell über einen großen Bereich der Wäschetrommel abgeregnet werden kann.The object of the present invention is a laundry drum of the type mentioned Way of creating, in which the scooped liquid with carriers with conventional Form can be quickly de-energized over a large area of the laundry drum.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Wäschetrommel gelöst, bei der der wenigstens eine Mitnehmer in seinem Inneren wenigstens eine Ablauframpe aufweist, die bei einer gegenüber der Waagrechten abweichenden Ausrichtung der Wäschetrommeldrehachse in einer Drehstellung der Wäschetrommel, in der sich der wenigstens eine Mitnehmer in seiner höchsten Stellung befindet, waagrecht ausgerichtet ist oder ein Gefälle in die Richtung aufweist, in der die Drehachse der Wäschetrommel ansteigt, so daß die geschöpfte Flüssigkeit in beiden Drehrichtungen der Wäschetrommel in einer angehobenen Position auf der wenigstens einen Ablauframpe in die Richtung fließt, in der die Drehachse der Wäschetrommel ansteigt.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a laundry drum in which the at least a driver has at least one drain ramp inside, which with an orientation of the axis of rotation of the laundry drum that differs from the horizontal in a rotary position of the laundry drum, in which the at least one Carrier is in its highest position, is level or a slope has in the direction in which the axis of rotation of the laundry drum rises, so that the scooped liquid in both directions of rotation of the laundry drum in a raised Position on the at least one drain ramp in the direction in which the The axis of rotation of the laundry drum rises.

Die angehobene Flüssigkeit kann so im Mitnehmer auf der Ablauframpe in einen Abschnitt fließen, in den aufgrund des eingeschränkten Schöpfbereichs keine Flüssigkeit geschöpft werden konnte, und von dort in das Wäschetrommelinnere abgeregnet werden. So kann unabhängig vom Schöpfbereich der Innenraum der Wäschetrommel im wesentlichen entlang seiner gesamten Länge und insbesondere auch an seinem weiter oben gelegenen Ende beregnet werden. Vorteilhafterweise weist die wenigstens eine Ablauframpe ein Gefälle von wenigstens 5° Grad auf, wenn der wenigstens eine Mitnehmer sich im Verlauf der Wäschetrommeldrehung in seiner höchsten Stellung befindet. Dadurch wird das Ablaufen beschleunigt, so daß in der kurzen Zeit, in der sich der Mitnehmer in einer oberen Stellung befindet, eine große Flüssigkeitsmenge abgeregnet werden kann.The lifted liquid can flow into a section in the driver on the discharge ramp flow in which no liquid due to the restricted scoop area could be scooped, and from there to the interior of the laundry drum. So the interior of the laundry drum can essentially regardless of the scoop area along its entire length and in particular also on its higher one Be irrigated at the end. The at least one discharge ramp advantageously has a gradient of at least 5 ° degrees when the at least one driver is in the Course of the laundry drum rotation is in its highest position. This will the expiration accelerates, so that in the short time in which the driver is in a is in the upper position, a large amount of liquid can be drained.

Bereits eine in der höchsten Stellung des Mitnehmers waagrecht ausgerichtete Ablauframpe kann den Flüssigkeitstransport innerhalb des Mitnehmers in seiner Längsrichtung verbessern, da sich die angehobene Flüssigkeit verteilen und schließlich an den Stellen abregnen kann, an denen Öffnungen vorgesehen sind. In diesen Fällen kann vorgesehen sein, daß zum Schöpfen und Abregnen die Trommeldrehzahl erniedrigt wird, um die Zeit zu verlängern, in der die Flüssigkeit im Mitnehmer sich verteilen und abregnen kann. Ferner kann die Ablauframpe kurz ausgeführt werden, so daß die Flüssigkeit schnell deren Ende erreichen und dort nach unten in das Wäschetrommelinnere abregnen kann. Durch eine in der oberen Stellung waagerecht ausgerichtete Ablauframpe wird bei schrägen, zylindrischen Wäschetrommeln in jedem Fall bereits verhindert, daß die angehobene Flüssigkeitsmenge in einem unten gelegenen Abschnitt des Mitnehmers zurückgehalten wird.Already a horizontally aligned drain ramp in the highest position of the driver can transport liquid within the driver in its longitudinal direction improve, since the raised liquid spread and eventually in the places can rain, where openings are provided. In these cases it can be provided be that for scooping and raining the drum speed is reduced by the time to extend, in which the liquid in the driver can distribute and rain. Further the discharge ramp can be carried out briefly, so that the liquid quickly Reach the end and rain down there into the inside of the drum. By A drain ramp aligned horizontally in the upper position is cylindrical drums in any case already prevents the raised Amount of liquid retained in a portion of the driver located below becomes.

Weiterhin kann aufgrund der im Inneren des Mitnehmers angeordneten Ablauframpe der Mitnehmer äußerlich weitgehend unabhängig vom Verlauf der innen liegenden Ablauframpe gestaltet werden. Insbesondere kann die äußere Form der Mitnehmer den Anforderungen an die Bewegung der Wäsche in der Trommel angepaßt werden, ohne daß die Funktion des Flüssigkeitstransports in Mitnehmerlängsrichtung oder der Beregnung davon beeinflußt wird. Die Mitnehmer können so auch mit ihrer herkömmlichen Form mit gleichbleibender Höhe gestaltet werden.Furthermore, due to the discharge ramp arranged inside the driver, the External driver largely independent of the course of the internal drain ramp be designed. In particular, the external shape of the driver can meet the requirements can be adapted to the movement of the laundry in the drum without the Function of the liquid transport in the longitudinal direction of the driver or the irrigation thereof being affected. The drivers can also with their conventional shape constant height can be designed.

Weiterhin kann vorgesehen sein, daß ein Gehäuseoberteil des wenigstens einen Mitnehmers, das sich zwischen der wenigstens einen Ablauframpe und der Wäschetrommeldrehachse befindet, im wesentlichen parallel zur Wäschetrommeldrehachse verläuft und insbesondere an ihrem Ende Öffnungen aufweist, so daß eine in einer angehobenen Position von der wenigstens einen Ablauframpe auf das Gehäuseoberteil fließende Flüssigkeit auf ihm in die Richtung zurückfließt, in der die Wäschetrommeldrehachse abfällt, und dabei durch die Öffnungen in dem Gehäuseoberteil in das Innere der Wäschetrommel fließt. Die von der Ablauframpe fließende Flüssigkeit kann daher über einen Bereich verteilt abgeregnet werden, wobei durch die Anordnung von mehreren Öffnungen das Abregnen beschleunigt wird. It can further be provided that an upper housing part of the at least one driver, that between the at least one drain ramp and the laundry drum axis of rotation located, runs essentially parallel to the axis of rotation of the laundry drum and in particular has openings at its end so that one is in a raised position liquid flowing from the at least one discharge ramp onto the upper housing part flows back on it in the direction in which the drum rotation axis drops, and thereby through the openings in the upper part of the housing into the interior of the laundry drum flows. The liquid flowing from the discharge ramp can therefore be distributed over an area be rained down, with the arrangement of several openings, the raining down is accelerated.

Zwischen der wenigstens einen Ablauframpe und dem Gehäuseoberteil kann eine Trennwand angeordnet sein, die sich im wesentlichen quer zur Wäschetrommeldrehachse erstreckt. Auf diese Weise kann das Zurücklaufen begrenzt und der Bereich festgelegt werden, in dem die auf der Ablauframpe nach vorne geflossene Flüssigkeit durch das Gehäuseoberteil abregnet.Between the at least one drain ramp and the upper housing part, a Partition can be arranged, which is substantially transverse to the axis of rotation of the laundry drum extends. In this way, the runback can be limited and the area can be defined in which the liquid flowing forward on the discharge ramp through the Raining the upper part of the housing.

Zwischen der wenigstens einen Ablauframpe und dem Gehäuseoberteil kann auf der in Richtung abfallender Wäschetrommeldrehachse gelegenen Seite der Trennwand eine Kammer ausgebildet sein, in die Flüssigkeit geschöpft und aus der Flüssigkeit in einer angehobenen Position durch die Öffnungen des Gehäuseoberteils in das Wäschetrommelinnere abgegeben werden kann, wobei die Kammer auf der der Trennwand gegenüberliegenden Seite von einer Rückwand begrenzt wird, die wenigstens eine Öffnung zum Füllen mit Flüssigkeit aufweist. Dadurch kann der Platz zwischen der Ablauframpe und dem Gehäuse-oberteil als Schöpfkammer genutzt und die geschöpfte und angehobene Flüssigkeitsmenge vergrößert werden.Between the at least one drain ramp and the upper housing part on the in Direction of falling side of the washing drum axis of rotation of the partition Be formed, scooped into the liquid and out of the liquid in a raised position through the openings of the upper housing part into the interior of the laundry drum can be dispensed, the chamber on the opposite of the partition Side is delimited by a rear wall which has at least one opening to the Filling with liquid. This allows the space between the drain ramp and the upper part of the housing used as a scoop and the scooped and raised Amount of liquid can be increased.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsform kann die wenigstens eine Ablauframpe Öffnungen aufweisen, durch die angehobene Flüssigkeit bereits während des Ablaufens auf der wenigstens einen Ablauframpe hindurchtreten kann. Die zum Abregnen benötigte Zeit kann so verringert werden.In a further embodiment, the at least one drain ramp can have openings have, by the raised liquid already during the drain on the at least can pass through a drain ramp. The time it takes to rain can so be reduced.

Der wenigstens eine Mitnehmer kann weiterhin in Längsrichtung mehrere aneinander anschließende Abschnitte aufweist, die jeweils eine Ablauframpe aufweisen. Vorteilhafterweise erstrecken sich die aneinandergereihten Abschnitte zusammen über die gesamte Tiefe der Wäschetrommel. In diesem Fall werden die einzelnen Ablauframpen, die sich in einem bestimmten, von der Wäschetrommelneigung und dem gewünschten Ablaufgefälle abhängigen Winkel von der Grundfläche des Mitnehmers nach oben erstrecken, kürzer, so daß durch mehrere aufeinanderfolgende Ablauframpen die Bauhöhe des Mitnehmers verkleinert werden kann.The at least one driver can furthermore have a plurality of one another in the longitudinal direction has subsequent sections, each having a drain ramp. advantageously, the lined up sections extend together over the entire Depth of the laundry drum. In this case, the individual drain ramps that are in a certain one, from the inclination of the drum and the desired drainage gradient dependent angle extend upward from the base of the driver, shorter, so that the height of the driver by several successive deceleration ramps can be reduced.

In Figur 1 ist in teilweiser, perspektivischer Darstellung ein Mitnehmer 1 ohne Gehäuseoberteil 3 zur Verwendung in einer erfindungsgemäßen Wäschetrommel 7 dargestellt, wobei der Mitnehmer 1 im beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel zwei gleichartige, hintereinander angeordnete Abschnitte der dargestellten Art aufweist. Die Grundfläche des Mitnehmers 1 ist ausgespart, um das Hineinleiten von Flüssigkeit 9 durch Schöpfvorrichtungen im Wäschetrommelmantel zu ermöglichen. Im inneren des Mitnehmers 1 ist eine Ablauframpe 2 angeordnet, die sich in einem flachen Winkel nach oben erstreckt und unterhalb der sich eine Kammer A befindet, in die in einer unteren Stellung des Mitnehmers 1 im Laufe der Wäschetrommeldrehung Flüssigkeit 9 geschöpft wird. Die Schöpfvorrichtungen können herkömmlicher Art sein und sind nicht dargestellt. Auf der Oberseite der Ablauframpe 2 ist ungefähr in der Mitte des Abschnitts eine Trennwand 4 angeordnet, die sich im wesentlichen senkrecht zu der Grundfläche des Mitnehmers 1 nach oben erstreckt. An dem rückwärtigen Ende des dargestellten Abschnitts des Mitnehmers 1 ist eine senkrechte Rückwand 5 mit Öffnungen 6 angeordnet, die zusammen mit der Trennwand 4, der Oberseite der Ablauframpe 2 und dem in Figur 1 nicht dargestellten Gehäuseoberteil 3 eine Kammer C begrenzt. Durch die Öffnungen 6 gelangt beim Schöpfen Flüssigkeit 9 in die Kammer C. Auf der der Rückwand 5 abgewandten Seite der Trennwand 4 befindet sich eine Kammer B, die ebenfalls von der Oberseite der Ablauframpe 2 und dem in Figur 1 nicht dargestellten Gehäuseoberteil 3 begrenzt wird. Am vorderen Ende des dargestellten Abschnitts schließt sich entweder ein weiterer Abschnitt mit seiner Rückwand 5 oder ein Stirnboden der Wäschetrommel 7 an.In Figure 1 is a driver 1 without an upper housing part in a perspective view 3 for use in a laundry drum 7 according to the invention, the driver 1 in the described embodiment two identical, one behind the other arranged sections of the type shown. The footprint of the Driver 1 is recessed to the introduction of liquid 9 through scooping devices to allow in the drum drum. Inside the driver 1 is one Arranged ramp 2, which extends upwards at a flat angle and below which there is a chamber A, in the lower position of the driver 1 liquid 9 is scooped in the course of the washing drum rotation. The scoop devices can be conventional and are not shown. On the top a ramp 4 is arranged approximately in the middle of the section, which are essentially perpendicular to the base of the driver 1 extends above. At the rear end of the illustrated section of the driver 1 is a vertical rear wall 5 with openings 6, which together with the Partition 4, the top of the drain ramp 2 and that not shown in Figure 1 Upper housing part 3 limits a chamber C. Through the openings 6 passes Scoop liquid 9 into the chamber C. On the side of the wall facing away from the rear wall 5 Partition 4 is a chamber B, which is also from the top of the drain ramp 2 and the upper housing part 3, not shown in Figure 1, is limited. On the front At the end of the section shown, either another section is included its rear wall 5 or an end face of the laundry drum 7.

In Figur 2 ist eine erfindungsgemäße Wäschetrommel 7 mit geneigter Drehachse 8 im Schnitt dargestellt. Aufgrund der Trommeineigung taucht die Wäschetrommel 7 nur mit ihrem rechten Ende in die Flüssigkeit 9 ein. Dementsprechend wird abhängig davon, wie weit die Wäschetrommel in die Flüssigkeit 9 eintaucht, der Mitnehmer 1 beim Schöpfen nur über einen Teil seiner Länge mit Flüssigkeit 9 gefüllt. Beim niedrigeren Flüssigkeitsstand S1 werden nur die Kammern C und A des weiter unten gelegenen, rechten Abschnitts mit Flüssigkeit 9 gefüllt. Beim Flüssigkeitsstand S2 werden dagegen zusätzlich in einem allerdings geringeren Maß die Kammern A und C des weiter oben gelegenen, linken Abschnitts mit Flüssigkeit 9 gefüllt. Die Kammern A werden durch Öffnungen im Wäschetrommelmantel gefüllt, wohingegen die Kammern C durch die Öffnungen 6 in den Rückwänden 5 gefüllt werden, wobei die Rückwand 5 des rechts gelegenen Abschnitts gleichzeitig Teil des rechten Stirnbodens der Wäschetrommel 7 ist. FIG. 2 shows a laundry drum 7 according to the invention with an inclined axis of rotation 8 in Section shown. Due to the inclination of the drum, the laundry drum 7 only dives its right end into the liquid 9. Accordingly, it depends on how as far as the laundry drum is immersed in the liquid 9, the driver 1 when scooping filled with liquid 9 only over part of its length. At the lower fluid level S1 becomes only the chambers C and A of the right section below filled with liquid 9. With the liquid level S2, however, in addition to a lesser extent, however, chambers A and C of the one on the left above Section filled with liquid 9. The chambers A are through openings in the laundry drum jacket filled, whereas the chambers C through the openings 6 in the Back walls 5 are filled, the rear wall 5 of the right section is at the same time part of the right front floor of the washing drum 7.

Im Verlauf der weiteren Wäschetrommeldrehung hebt nun der Mitnehmer 1 die geschöpfte Flüssigkeit 9 an. Im beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel wird der Abregnungsvorgang anhand des anderen, in seiner höchsten Stellung dargestellten Mitnehmers 1 beschrieben, wobei dieser Vorgang bereits früher einsetzen und sich abhängig von der Trommeldrehzahl auch bis nach Überschreiten der höchsten Stellung fortsetzen kann. In einer oberhalb des halben Trommeldurchmessers befindlichen Stellung beginnt nun in den Kammern A befindliche Flüssigkeit 9 wegen dem sich einstellenden Gefälle auf der Ablauframpe 2 nach links zu fließen. Am Ende der Ablauframpe 2 fließt es nach unten in der Kammer B auf das mit Öffnungen versehene Gehäuseoberteil 3. Auf der Innenseite des Gehäuseoberteils 3 fließt die Flüssigkeit 9 wieder nach rechts zurück, wobei sie durch die Öffnungen im Gehäuseoberteil 3 in das Innere der Wäschetrommel 7 verteilt abregnet. Eine in den Kammern C befindliche Flüssigkeit 9 regnet wie bei den üblichen Schöpfmitnehmern direkt durch die Öffnungen in dem Gehäuseoberteil 3 in das Wäschetrommelinnere ab.In the course of the further rotation of the laundry drum, the driver 1 now lifts the scooped one Liquid 9 on. In the described embodiment, the de-energizing process based on the other driver 1 shown in its highest position described, this process starting earlier and depending on the Drum speed can continue until the highest position is exceeded. In a position above half the drum diameter now begins in the chambers A liquid 9 because of the gradient on the Flow ramp 2 to flow to the left. At the end of drain ramp 2, it flows down into the chamber B onto the top of the housing with openings 3. On the inside of the upper housing part 3, the liquid 9 flows back to the right again, whereby it distributed through the openings in the upper housing part 3 into the interior of the laundry drum 7 rains out. A liquid 9 located in the chambers C rains as in the usual ones Ladle drivers directly through the openings in the upper housing part 3 into the interior of the laundry drum from.

Durch die erfinddungsgemäße Lösung kann auf diese Weise auch bei eingeschränktem Schöpfbereich in Trommelachsrichtung das Trommelinnere über die gesamte Tiefe beregnet werden.The solution according to the invention can be used in this way even with limited Scoop area in the direction of the drum axis sprinkles the inside of the drum over the entire depth become.
