Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for treating laundry in a household washing machine with a foam-forming liquor, comprising at least one washing process and at least one rinsing process.
  • the detergents used in conventional washing machines are based on surfactants. Due to their amphiphilic molecular structure, these washing-active substances are able to form a thin layer on the water surface and thereby lower the surface tension of the water.
  • the surfactants are also those which give the water the ability to foam.
  • the reduction of the surface tension of the aqueous phase by addition of surfactants at the interface water / air has the consequence that the introduction of air, such as by mechanics entry when rotating a laundry drum, air bubbles are generated and can be partially stabilized by the formation of a surface layer without coalescing too fast.
  • the basis for the formation of foam is thus a dispersion of air in wash liquor.
  • the foams produced during washing are usually metastable foams which have a certain but limited lifetime. The lifetime is influenced by different quantities, for example by the type of surfactant, its concentration, the intensity of the air intake, the diameter of the resulting bubbles. If the life of the foam is very short, it is called an unstable foam.
  • spherical foams Two types are further distinguished: spherical foams and polyhedral foams. In a foaming liquid such as a wash liquor, both types usually occur, wherein the polyhedra foam is located above the ball foam.
  • US 5,768,730 describes a washing machine with a foam sensor and a device controlled by this sensor which automatically adds an antifoaming agent.
  • foam can certainly also have beneficial effects.
  • foam dampens laundry during washing, and thus the mechanical input can be reduced despite a continuous rotary movement of the drum. This allows smoother washing for delicate fabrics such as wool and silk.
  • conventional wool washing processes long service lives are generally provided in which the drum is hardly moved at all to keep the mechanical effect on the laundry as low as possible.
  • the invention had the object of providing a method for treating laundry, which on the one hand allows utilization of the desired properties of foam during washing, without having the disadvantages, which brings a foaming with it.
  • the inventive method for treating laundry in a household washing machine with a foam-forming liquor comprises at least one washing process, is used in the foam-forming liquor, and at least one rinsing process and is characterized in that for controlling the amount of foam during the washing process, a foam-promoting agent in a predetermined amount automatically added and automatically added a foam-inhibiting agent in a predetermined amount before completion of the rinsing process.
  • This method has the great advantage that due to the chemical control of the foaming the respective washing program does not have to be changed or only minimal. This avoids time-consuming waiting times that were previously necessary to remove foam. At the same time, this process also makes it possible to utilize the positive properties of foam formation.
  • This method is particularly suitable for household washing machines with an automatic dosing device.
  • the amount of foam formed is monitored by a sensor.
  • foam sensors are already known in the prior art.
  • pressure sensors but also particularly suitable are optical sensors and the like.
  • a specific foam level can be predetermined by the setting of a foam threshold, so that upon reaching, falling short of or exceeding a foam threshold, signals can be emitted in each case so that a corresponding measure can be taken.
  • the sensor monitors the amount of foam and, when it falls below the foam threshold value, sends a signal to a control unit, which enables the automatic addition of a foam-promoting agent.
  • a foam-inhibiting agent is added.
  • foam threshold values for different washing programs.
  • these foam threshold values are already entered into the mentioned control unit or it is pre-programmed.
  • the threshold value is in turn coupled to a signal which allows the metered addition of one of the foam-promoting or foam-inhibiting or foam-stabilizing agents mentioned.
  • a foam-inhibiting agent is added to eliminate the foam formed as completely as possible. In this way, the problem is avoided that by clogging the gap between the drum and the tub adhering foam is prevented from spinning intended water.
  • foaming, foam stabilizing and antifoaming agents which can be used according to the invention are already known in the prior art.
  • Foaming agents include all agents which promote foaming, while foaming agents are understood to mean those which prevent foaming or destroy existing foam.
  • Foaming agents also include foam stabilizing agents.
  • foaming agents for example, the same surfactants can be used, which are already present in conventional detergents. That is, as a foam-promoting agent, among other things, the detergent used in a desired wash program is considered. To form a desired amount of foam, the detergent can be metered in differently, for example by adjusting a certain concentration or by adding it gradually or continuously until the required total amount is reached.
  • the B. adaptationsstoffs which usually contains surfactants can be moved at the same time the drum so that the mechanics effect some air entry is made and the foam can form.
  • a foam-promoting agent can be added in addition to sufficient even with little movement and mechanics To form foam.
  • the antifoaming agent may, in addition to this main function, have other functions supporting the rinsing process, such as a lowering of alkalinity, complexing, flocculation and the like.
  • the foam-forming liquor is an aqueous solution of water and treating agents used to treat the laundry during the washing process. Treating agents include conventional detergents, detergency aids, additives and the foam promoting and antifoaming agents. When rinsing the fleet is gradually replaced by fresh water.
  • the household washing machine has one or more containers for receiving the above-mentioned means, as well as a metering device for the automatic addition of the agent during the washing and rinsing process.
  • these agents can be refilled or emptied by the user as needed.
  • the containers can also be designed as disposable cartridges or refillable cartridges.
  • An existing in modern household washing machines control device can be provided to control the method according to the invention with a suitable control program, which performs the method steps.
  • a subset of a foam-forming detergent is added to a laundry during a washing process.
  • foam is built up by the rotating drum at a predetermined speed, usually at the normal washing speed, which is 55 rpm in commercial washing machines.
  • the amount of foam is monitored continuously via a foam sensor, thus roughly setting a given foam level.
  • the fine adjustment of the amount of foam is achieved via defined additions of foam-promoting, foam-stabilizing and / or foam-inhibiting agents. This can be done both with and without changing the other device parameters.
  • the foam is removed again by adding a foam-inhibiting agent. This can be both with and done without changing the other device parameters. As a result, short and water and energy-saving procedures are achieved.
  • the present invention enables rapid and efficient foam generation / stabilization and removal, as well as energy and water saving laundry treatment.
