Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Haushaltsgerät zum Behandeln von Wäsche.The invention relates to a household appliance for treating laundry.
Bei Haushaltsgeräten zum Behandeln von Wäsche strömen im Haushaltsgerät zum Behandeln von Wäsche verschiedene Arten von Fluiden beziehungsweise verschiedene fluidartige Substanzen. Die Fluide können bei Trockner im Wesentlichen aus Dampf bzw. Prozessluft bestehen. Bei Waschmaschinen umfassen die Fluide im Wesentlichen ein Wasser-Seifen-Gemisch. Beide Fluide, Dampf und/oder Prozessluft als auch das Wasser-Seifen-Gemisch werden bei Waschtrockner zum Reinigen und Trocknen verwendet. Weiterhin können die Fluide Weichspüler oder weitere dem Fachmann bekannte Wäschebehandlungsmittel umfassen.In household appliances for treating laundry, different types of fluids or different fluid-like substances flow in the household appliance for treating laundry. In the case of dryers, the fluids can essentially consist of steam or process air. In washing machines, the fluids essentially comprise a water-soap mixture. Both fluids, steam and/or process air as well as the water-soap mixture are used for cleaning and drying in washer-dryers. Furthermore, the fluids can include fabric softeners or other laundry treatment agents known to those skilled in the art.
Die Fluide werden üblicherweise in einer am Haushaltsgerät angebrachten Kammer, der sogenannten Einspülschale, miteinander vermengt und dann in der vermengten Art und Weise einem Behandlungsprozess beigegeben. Über Zuleitungen von der Einspülschale zu einem Behandlungsraum der Wäsche, werden die Fluide in den Behandlungsprozess eingespeist. Bei Haushaltsgeräten ohne einen Umpumpkreislauf erfolgt das Zuleiten des Fluids über einen Einspülkanal, der mit einem Laugenbehälter fluidtechnisch verbunden ist. Der Einspülkanal kann das Fluid dabei über eine Öffnung in einer Manschette, auch Dichtungsring genannt, in den Laugenbehälter leiten und/oder direkt in den Laugenbehälter leiten, wenn der Einspülkanal direkt an den Laugenbehälter angebunden ist.The fluids are usually mixed with one another in a chamber attached to the household appliance, the so-called dispenser bowl, and then added to a treatment process in the mixed manner. The fluids are fed into the treatment process via feed lines from the dispensing bowl to a treatment room for the laundry. In household appliances without a circulation circuit, the fluid is supplied via a flushing-in channel which is fluidically connected to a tub. The flushing channel can guide the fluid through an opening in a collar, also called a sealing ring, into the tub and/or directly into the tub if the flushing channel is connected directly to the tub.

Bei Reinigungs- und/oder Trocknungsvorgängen kann sich an dem Schauglas, aufgrund der gekrümmten oder trichterförmigen Form, Wäsche verfangen kann, so dass der Strömungsweg des Fluids negativ beeinflusst wird. Des Weiteren ist die Wäsche, die sich in diesem Bereich verfängt, zumindest zeitweise von dem weiteren Reinigungs- und/oder Trocknungsvorgang ausgeschlossen, wodurch ein Ergebnis des Reinigungs- und/oder Trocknungsvorgang negativ beeinflusst wird.During cleaning and/or drying processes, laundry can get caught on the sight glass due to the curved or funnel-shaped shape, so that the flow path of the fluid is adversely affected. Furthermore, the laundry that gets caught in this area is at least temporarily excluded from the further cleaning and/or drying process, as a result of which the result of the cleaning and/or drying process is negatively influenced.
Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ein Haushaltsgerät zum Behandeln von Wäsche bereitzustellen, bei dem Vermieden wird, dass sich die zu behandelnde Wäsche während eines Reinigungs- und/oder Trocknungsvorgangs im Bereich des Schauglases derart sammelt, dass der Strömungsweg des Fluids unbeeinflusst ist und ein Reinigungs- und/oder Trocknungsvorgang gewährleistet werden kann, bei dem sich keine Wäsche im Bereich des Schauglases sammelt und so zu einem positiven Ergebnis des Reinigungs- und/oder Trocknungsvorgangs beiträgt.It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a household appliance for treating laundry in which the laundry to be treated is prevented from collecting during a cleaning and/or drying process in the area of the sight glass in such a way that the flow path of the fluid is unaffected and a cleaning and/or drying process can be guaranteed in which no laundry collects in the area of the sight glass and thus contributes to a positive result of the cleaning and/or drying process.

Gemäß einem Aspekt wird die erfindungsgemäße Aufgabe durch ein Haushaltsgerät zum Behandeln von Wäsche gelöst. Das Haushaltsgerät zum Behandeln von Wäsche umfasst ein Gehäuse, mit einer Gehäuseoberseite und einer Gehäuseunterseite, sowie einen Laugenbehälter, der im Gehäuse angeordnet ist. Weiterhin umfasst das Haushaltsgerät einen Aufnahmebehälter, der im Laugenbehälter angeordnet ist, eine Öffnung, die am Gehäuse ausgebildet ist und durch die der Aufnahmebehälter beladbar und entladbar ist, sowie eine Gerätetür zum Verschließen der Öffnung, wobei die Gerätetür ein Fensterelement umfasst. Ein Dichtungsring ist am Gehäuse ausgebildet und an einem Öffnungsrand im Wesentlichen umrandend angeordnet, wobei die Gerätetür in einem geschlossenen Zustand an dem Dichtungsring abdichtend anliegt und wobei der Dichtungsring mindestens eine Dichtungsöffnung aufweist, durch die Fluide strömen. Das Haushaltsgerät weist des Weiteren zumindest ein Aufnahmeelement auf, das im Bereich des Fensterelements angeordnet ist, wobei das mindestens eine Aufnahmeelement über mindestens eine Verbindungseinheit lösbar an dem Fensterelement koppelbar ist.According to one aspect, the object according to the invention is achieved by a household appliance for treating laundry. The household appliance for treating laundry comprises a housing with a housing top and a housing bottom, and a tub that is arranged in the housing. Furthermore, the domestic appliance comprises a storage container which is arranged in the tub, an opening which is formed on the housing and through which the storage container can be loaded and unloaded, and an appliance door for closing the opening, the appliance door comprising a window element. A sealing ring is formed on the housing and arranged bordering an opening edge substantially, wherein the appliance door in a closed state on the sealing ring rests sealingly and wherein the sealing ring has at least one sealing opening through which fluids flow. The household appliance also has at least one receiving element, which is arranged in the area of the window element, wherein the at least one receiving element can be detachably coupled to the window element via at least one connecting unit.
Durch das mindestens eine Aufnahmeelement kann gewährleistet werden, dass ein für Wäsche schonendes Abprallen oder Abstoßen an dem Aufnahmeelement erfolgt, sodass die Wäsche, die durch die Rotationsbewegung eines im Laugenbehälter angeordneten Aufnahmebehälters bewegt wird und unter anderem in den Bereich des Fensterelements gelangt, wieder in den Aufnahmebehälter zurückgeführt wird. Des Weiteren kann über den gesamten Reinigungs- und/oder Trocknungsvorgang eine konstante Qualität bei einer Fluidzuführung über die Dichtungsöffnungen im Dichtungsring gewährleistet werden.The at least one receiving element can ensure that the laundry bounces or repels gently on the receiving element, so that the laundry, which is moved by the rotational movement of a receiving container arranged in the tub and, among other things, reaches the area of the window element, returns to the Receptacle is returned. Furthermore, constant quality can be ensured over the entire cleaning and/or drying process when fluid is supplied via the sealing openings in the sealing ring.
Bei einer Waschmaschine wird der Aufnahmebehälter als Waschtrommel bezeichnet. Bei einem Waschtrockner kann es der Aufnahmebehälter und/oder die Waschtrommel sein. Damit im Folgenden die Beschreibung der Ausführungsbeispiele möglichst einfach gehalten werden kann, wird lediglich eine Waschmaschine beschrieben. Jedoch ist nicht ausgeschlossen, dass es sich genauso gut um einen Waschtrockner handeln kann.In a washing machine, the receptacle is called the washing drum. In the case of a washer-dryer, it can be the receptacle and/or the washing drum. So that the description of the exemplary embodiments can be kept as simple as possible below, only one washing machine is described. However, it cannot be ruled out that it could just as easily be a washer-dryer.
Das Fensterelement weist eine in Richtung des Aufnahmebehälters teilweise trichterförmige Form auf, wobei das Fensterelement einen oberen Bereich aufweist und der obere Bereich des Fensterelements der Gehäuseoberseite zugewandt ist, und wobei das Aufnahmeelement in dem oberen Bereich des Fensterelements angeordnet ist.The window member has a partially funnel shape toward the receptacle, the window member having an upper portion and the upper portion of the window member faces the housing top, and the receiving member is disposed in the upper portion of the window member.
Das Fensterelement weist durch seine strömungsoptimierte Form viele Bereiche auf, an bzw. in denen sich Kleidungsstücke bei der Rotation der Waschtrommel sammeln können. Bevorzugt sammelt sich die Wäsche jedoch bei Kontakt mit dem Fensterelement in der teilweise trichterförmigen Form des Fensterelements, die in der Regel in einem oberen Bereich des Fensterelements ausgebildet sind. Das Fensterelement kann durchsichtig sein, aber auch ein vollverkleidetes Fensterelement ist denkbar, wie es bei verschiedenen Trocknergeräte im Einsatz ist. Weiterhin kann gewährleistet werden, wenn keine mechanische Kraft auf den Aufnahmebehälter wirkt, dass das Fluid nahezu von der Geräteoberseite auf die Wäsche abgegeben werden, welche sich in einem Bereich des Aufnahmebehälters sammelt, der der Gehäuseunterseite zugewandt ist, sodass das Fluid mit Hilfe der Schwerkraft möglichst viel Wäsche benetzen kann.Due to its flow-optimized shape, the window element has many areas where items of clothing can collect when the washing drum rotates. Preferably, however, the laundry collects upon contact with the window member in the partially funnel-shaped shape of the window member, which is typically formed in an upper portion of the window member. The window element can be transparent, but a fully clad window element is also conceivable, as is used in various drying devices. Furthermore, it can be ensured when no mechanical force acts on the receptacle that the fluid is almost of the Top of the device are released on the laundry, which collects in an area of the receptacle, which faces the underside of the housing, so that the fluid can wet as much laundry as possible with the help of gravity.
Vorzugsweise ist an dem Aufnahmeelement ein Zusatzelement zum Einbringen von Wäschebehandlungssubstanzen anbringbar, wobei das Zusatzelement fluidtechnisch mit dem Aufnahmeelement verbunden ist.An additional element for introducing laundry treatment substances can preferably be attached to the receiving element, the additional element being fluidically connected to the receiving element.
Mit dem Zusatzelement können verschiedene Wäschebehandlungssubstanzen dem Reinigungs- und/oder Trocknungsvorgang zugegeben werden, die das Reinigungs-und/oder Trocknungsergebnis verbessern. Je nach Kleidungstück kann beispielsweise eine andere Wäschebehandlungssubstanz von Vorteil sein.With the additional element, different laundry treatment substances can be added to the cleaning and/or drying process, which improve the cleaning and/or drying result. Depending on the item of clothing, a different laundry treatment substance can be advantageous, for example.
Das Anbringen des Zusatzelements kann ähnlich zu dem Anbringen des Aufnahmeelements erfolgen. Das Anbringen könnte beispielsweise über Rast- und/oder Steckverbindungen erfolgen. Es sind aber auch andere Anbring- beziehungsweise Befestigungsmöglichkeiten denkbar, die gewährleisten, dass das Zusatzelement während eines Reinigungs- und/oder Trocknungsvorgang fest verankert bleiben. Das Zusatzelement ist einfach in dem Haushaltsgerät integrierbar, durch einfaches Anbringen an dem Aufnahmeelement und kann bei Bedarf auch schnell und unkompliziert wieder entnommen werden. Des Weiteren kann das Zusatzelement als zusätzlicher Blocker bzw. schonendes Wäscherückführelement dienen, da durch das Zusatzelement gewährleistet werden kann, dass sich keine Kleidungsstücke in diesem Bereich des Fensterelements sammeln kann.The attachment of the additional element can take place similarly to the attachment of the receiving element. The attachment could be done, for example, via latching and/or plug-in connections. However, other attachment or attachment options are also conceivable, which ensure that the additional element remains firmly anchored during a cleaning and/or drying process. The additional element can be easily integrated into the household appliance by simply attaching it to the receiving element and can also be removed again quickly and easily if required. Furthermore, the additional element can serve as an additional blocker or gentle laundry return element, since the additional element can ensure that no items of clothing can collect in this area of the window element.
Vorteilhafterweise weist das Aufnahmeelement einen innenliegenden Kanal und zumindest eine Düse auf, wobei der Kanal zum Befördern eines Fluids und die Düse zum Verteilen des Fluids geeignet ist.The receiving element advantageously has an internal channel and at least one nozzle, the channel being suitable for conveying a fluid and the nozzle being suitable for distributing the fluid.
Der innenliegende Kanal leitet das Fluid zielgerichtet zu einem Einsatzort, an dem das Fluid benötigt wird. Durch die Düse wird das Fluid in den Reinigungs- und/oder Trocknungsvorgang eingeleitet.The internal channel directs the fluid to a location where the fluid is needed. The fluid is introduced into the cleaning and/or drying process through the nozzle.
Vorzugsweise ist die Düse bewegbar ausgebildet. Dadurch kann die Düse auf den jeweiligen Reinigungs- und/oder Trocknungsvorgang eingestellt werden. Die Düse könnte beispielsweise auch in Abhängigkeit eines Reinigungs- und/oder Trocknungsprogramms und/oder während eines Reinigungs- und/oder Trocknungsprogramms automatisch vom Haushaltsgerät verstellt werden und verschiedene Positionen einnehmen.The nozzle is preferably designed to be movable. As a result, the nozzle can be adjusted to the respective cleaning and/or drying process. The nozzle could, for example, also be automatically adjusted by the household appliance as a function of a cleaning and/or drying program and/or during a cleaning and/or drying program and assume different positions.
Alternativ zu der oben beschriebenen beweglichen Düse, ist die Düse in einer alternativen Ausführungsform im Wesentlichen unbeweglich ausgebildet. Durch die unbewegliche Düse kann gewährleistet werden, dass die Düse kontinuierlich in einer bevorzugten Ausgabeposition das Fluid in den Aufnahmebehälter abgibt und ein Verstellen der Düse nahezu unmöglich ist.As an alternative to the movable nozzle described above, in an alternative embodiment the nozzle is designed to be essentially immovable. The stationary nozzle can ensure that the nozzle continuously delivers the fluid into the receiving container in a preferred dispensing position and that it is almost impossible to adjust the nozzle.
Vorzugsweise ist ein Verbindungselement an dem Aufnahmeelement ausgebildet, wobei das Verbindungselement in der mindestens einen Dichtungsöffnung derart angeordnet ist, dass das Fluid von der mindestens einen Dichtungsöffnung in das Aufnahmeelement strömt.A connecting element is preferably formed on the receiving element, the connecting element being arranged in the at least one sealing opening in such a way that the fluid flows from the at least one sealing opening into the receiving element.
Durch das Verbindungselement ist ein reibungsloser Übergang des Fluids in das Aufnahmeelement gewährleistet, so dass das Fluid von der Dichtungsöffnung in den innenliegenden Kanal des Aufnahmeelements strömen kann.The connecting element ensures a smooth transition of the fluid into the receiving element, so that the fluid can flow from the sealing opening into the internal channel of the receiving element.
Vorteilhafterweise ist das Verbindungselement mit einem Fluidsystem des Haushaltsgeräts fluidtechnisch verbunden. Das Fluid, dass beispielsweise bei einem Umpumpvorgang erneut in den Aufnahmebehälter geleitet werden soll und/oder das Fluid, dass aus einer Einspülschale des Haushaltsgeräts kommt, kann über das Verbindungselement in das Aufnahmeelement strömen und so in den Aufnahmebehälter geleitet werden.Advantageously, the connecting element is fluidically connected to a fluid system of the household appliance. The fluid that is to be routed again into the receptacle during a pumping process, for example, and/or the fluid that comes from a flushing bowl of the household appliance can flow via the connecting element into the receiving element and thus be routed into the receptacle.
Vorteilhafterweise ist die mindestens eine Dichtungsöffnung am Dichtungsring im Bereich der Gehäuseoberseite ausgebildet. Da das Aufnahmeelement in dem oberen Bereich des Fensterelements angeordnet ist, ist der Weg, den das Fluid von dem Fluidsystem des Haushaltsgeräts zu dem Aufnahmeelement zurücklegen muss, möglichst geringgehalten, wodurch weitere Leitsystem entfallen.Advantageously, the at least one sealing opening is formed on the sealing ring in the area of the upper side of the housing. Since the receiving element is arranged in the upper region of the window element, the path that the fluid has to travel from the fluid system of the household appliance to the receiving element is kept as short as possible, which means that further guidance systems are not required.
