Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Haushaltsgerät mit einem Bauteil zum Führen oder Aufnehmen einer Waschlauge.The present invention relates to a household appliance with a component for guiding or receiving a wash liquor.
In Haushaltsgeräten, wie beispielsweise Waschmaschinen, kann Schaum entstehen. Der Schaum beim Waschen verschlechtert die Waschleistung. Beim Abpumpen
kann der Schaum auch eine Verschlechterung der Spülleistung verursachen. Außerdem kann der Schaum aus dem Haushaltsgerät austreten. Eine dichte Mischung von Luft und Waschlauge verringert zudem die Waschmechanik zwischen den einzelnen Wäschestücken. Im Sinnerschen Kreis, der eine Waschleistung beschreibt, spielt die Waschmechanik neben der Chemie, der Zeit und der Temperatur eine wichtige Rolle.In household appliances, such as washing machines, foam can arise. The foam during washing worsens the washing performance. When pumping
The foam can also cause a deterioration of the flushing performance. In addition, the foam can escape from the household appliance. A dense mixture of air and wash water also reduces the washing mechanics between the individual items of laundry. In the Sinner circle, which describes a washing performance, washing mechanics plays an important role alongside chemistry, time and temperature.
Bisher sind verfahrenstechnische Maßnahmen verwendet worden, um entstandenen Schaum beim Waschen, Schleudern oder Abpumpen zu entfernen. Diese Maßnahmen sind häufig mit einem Mehrverbrauch an Wasser und Zeit verbunden, so dass diese für die Umwelt oder den Kunden nicht von Vorteil sind.So far, procedural measures have been used to remove the resulting foam during washing, spinning or pumping. These measures are often associated with an increased consumption of water and time, so that they are not beneficial to the environment or the customer.

Durch die Anordnung der Beschichtung 103 in dem Laugenbehälter kann ein Entstehen von Schaum in dem Laugenbehälter unterdrückt werden, so dass ein Betrieb einer Heizung oder ein Wasserverbrauch verringert werden. Zudem können einzelne Programmabschnitte, wie beispielsweise vermehrtes Spülen, übersprungen werden.In a
Die Beschichtung 103 als Schauminhibitor kann beispielsweise in der Einspülschale 103, einem Entlüftungs- oder Zulaufschlauch angeordnet sein. Dadurch kann ein Schaumaustritt aus dem Haushaltsgerät 100 verhindert werden.The
Die Beschichtung 103 als Schauminhibitor kann beispielsweise in einer Pumpenkammer, einem Abpump- oder Ablaufschlauch angeordnet sein. Dadurch wird eine reduzierte Pumpenleistung verhindert, die durch Schaum verursacht sein kann.The
Durch das Haushaltsgerät 100 kann eine TCR ("Total Cost of Risk", auf Deutsch: Gesamtkostenrisiko)-Quote durch Schaum reduziert werden. Die Schaumentstehung im Inneren des Haushaltsgerätes 100 wird verringert. Technische Maßnahmen zur Schaumerkennung können verringert und die Leistung des Haushaltsgerätes erhöht werden. Zudem kann ein Austritt vom Schaum aus dem Haushaltsgerät 100 direkt verhindert werden.The

Claims (9)
- Household appliance (100) having a component (101) for guiding or receiving a washing liquor (107), wherein the component (101) has a coating (103) for reducing the surface energy of a contact surface (105) of the component (101) with the washing liquor (107), such that the coating (103) acts as a foam inhibitor, such that the coating (103) can prevent foam formation even as it arises, wherein the foam bubbles can be successfully destroyed and/or reduced in size when the surface tension of an indissoluble material of the coating (103) which comes into contact with the foam is less than the surface tension of the foam itself, characterised in that the component (101) is an outer tub for a washing drum.
- Household appliance (100) according to claim 1, characterised in that the coating (103) comprises silicone.
- Household appliance (100) according to claim 2, characterised in that the coating (103) is a silicone film.
- Household appliance (100) according to one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the coating (103) comprises polydimethylsiloxane.
- Household appliance (100) according to one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the coating (103) comprises a hydrophobic material.
- Household appliance (100) according to one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the coating (103) is painted onto the component (101).
- Household appliance (100) according to one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the coating (103) is formed by a foil which is adhered to the component (101).
- Household appliance (100) according to one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the coating (101) is arranged on a side wall of the outer tub.
- Household appliance (100) according to one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the coating (101) is arranged in a horizontal strip on the inside of the outer tub.
