Definitions
- the invention relates to a washing machine of the simplest type operated with solar energy.
- Washing machines whose electrical energy requirements are covered in whole or in part by electrical energy generated by a solar cell are known, for example, from published patent application DE 19708861.
- the use of photovoltaically generated electrical energy is intended to reduce or avoid the removal of electrical energy from the grid.
- the object of the invention is therefore to improve the hygienic conditions in poor and underdeveloped countries, a device for washing Finding laundry and clothing that correspond to the energetic conditions, the technical skills and the financial framework.
- the washing machine consists of a housing with a perforated washing drum mounted therein with a loading access, which is driven by an electric motor arranged in the housing, a valve-provided water inlet and outlet and a solar collector for converting solar energy in photovoltaic cells into electrical energy for charging a battery that supplies the electric motor, and for converting solar energy into thermal energy for heating water circulating in a tube system.
- a simple control device is preferably arranged in the housing, which controls the drive of the electric motor only when the battery has sufficient charge for one or more washing and rinsing processes and a water supply with a temperature of 45 sufficient for one or more washing and rinsing processes up to 60 degrees Celsius in the tube system of the solar collector.
- the collectors for converting the solar energy into electrical or thermal energy are preferably arranged in a common frame element which integrates with the housing above the washing machine or from this is arranged separately, for example on the roof of a building.
- the housing access is preferably arranged on the lid and the washing drum access on the circumference of the drum. This avoids costly one-sided storage of the drum and a technically complex sealing of the front of the housing.
- FIG. 1 shows a side view of the washing machine according to the invention with the solar element which can be opened on the housing in the closed state;
- FIG. 2 shows a side view of the washing machine according to the invention with the solar element clipped on;
- Fig. 3 shows a longitudinal section through the washing machine according to the invention with the solar element opened.
- the washing machine consists of a housing 1 with a washing drum 2 mounted on both sides, an electric motor which causes the drum rotation via a belt 4, a control device 5, a rechargeable battery 6 which is charged by the photovoltaic part 7 of the hinged solar element 8, one in the solar element arranged tube system 9 with an inlet funnel 10, via which water can be felt in the tube system, a watercourse 11 leading into the drum and an outlet 12 arranged in the housing bottom.
- the washing machine according to the invention has the advantage over known, predominantly dependent on electrical and water supply systems, technically complex and demanding for the use of the advantage that it is available in countries without public electricity and water supply systems and a population with modest technical understanding and limited financial means to improve hygienic conditions can contribute.
