Description

A WASHING MACHINE CONNECTED TO A LAUNDRY DRYER AND THE CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
The present invention relates to a household appliance comprising a washing machine connected to a laundry dryer wherein the condensate tank and the detergent dispenser are cleaned, and relates to the control method thereof.
In laundry dryers, water condensing during the drying process is collected in a condensate tank or directly discharged. Microbial accumulation occurs in the condensate tank depending on the humidity and temperature values of the environment, and a biofilm forms on the walls of the condensate tank. It is determined that bacteria at the level of log 4 - 5 are formed in the water stored in the condensate tank. In case this water is taken into the washing machine, bacteria are carried both into the washing machine and onto the laundry loaded into the washing machine. Microbial contamination is eliminated during the washing process performed with high temperature programs or high alkalinity powder detergents in the washing machine. However, if the user uses liquid detergent and low temperature programs, microorganisms cannot be eliminated and a hygiene risk arises both in the washing machine and in the washing process since dirty water is taken into the washing machine. Similarly, microbial accumulation occurs in the detergent dispenser of the washing machine depending on the humidity and temperature values of the environment, and a biofilm forms on the walls of the detergent dispenser. Microorganisms and biofilm accumulated in the condensate tank and the detergent dispenser cause both a bad odor and a bad appearance.
In the state of the art, the user is recommended to run a tub cleaning program once a month in order to clean residues such as lime in washing machines. In said tub cleaning program, the washing process is performed with various chemicals at high temperature in order to dissolve the residues in the washing machine, remove the same from the surface, and also carry out disinfection with high temperature application. In the state of the art, the washing machine is operated empty with the tub cleaning program and the washing water is heated to high temperature values and the inside of the washing machine is washed. By means of the tub cleaning program, hot water reaches the drum, the bellows, the discharge line, the drum jet line, if any, certain regions of the tub, and the heater; however, the detergent dispenser cannot be cleaned with the tub washing program since the hot water is not directed to the detergent dispenser. Hygienic washing or washing machine cleaning programs with the effect of temperature are widely used.
The state of the art United States Patent Application No. US2011185511 discloses the heating of the washing water in the washing machine by benefiting from the temperature of the water condensed in the laundry dryer and the improvement of the washing performance and the reduction of energy consumption.
The aim of the present invention is the realization of a household appliance comprising a washing machine connected to a laundry dryer wherein the condensate tank and the detergent dispenser are cleaned, and the realization of a control method thereof.
The household appliance realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, is a laundry dryer and a washing machine connected to the laundry dryer, and comprises a washing tub and a detergent dispenser which are provided in the washing machine; a condensate tank provided in the laundry dryer wherein the water condensed in the drying process is stored; a tub cleaning program wherein the washing water is heated to at least 60°C; and a delivery mechanism, one end of which opens to the condensate tank and the other end to the washing tub, which enables the water in the washing machine to be delivered to the condensate tank when the tub cleaning program is run. By means of the present invention, the water used in the tub cleaning program in the washing machine is enabled to be sent to the condensate tank via the delivery mechanism, and the condensate tank is cleaned, providing hygiene.
The tub cleaning program is used to clean residues such as lime, and in the tub washing program, by performing the washing process preferably together with tub cleaning chemicals at high temperature, the residues in the washing machine are dissolved and removed from the surface and moreover, disinfection is carried out by high temperature application. In this embodiment of the present invention, the washing machine is operated empty and the washing water is heated to high temperature values - at least 60°C and preferably 70°C - according to the tub cleaning program, and the inside of the washing machine is washed. Moreover, some of the high-temperature water used for the tub washing program is sent to the condensate tank via the delivery mechanism, and the inside of the condensate tank is cleaned with high-temperature water.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the delivery mechanism comprises a pump which is connected to the washing machine water line and which directs the water, a valve which is disposed on the water line, a first delivery line, one end of which is connected to the washing machine water line and the other end opening to the condensate tank in the laundry dryer, and a second delivery line which enables the water leaving the condensate tank to return to the washing tub of the washing machine. In this embodiment of the present invention, the inlet of the first delivery line is located at the bottom, and the inlet of the second delivery line is located at the top of the condensate tank such that the high-temperature water can effectively clean all the surfaces of the condensate tank. Moreover, in this embodiment of the present invention, the valve is a multiport valve, and the water heated in the tub cleaning program for a time predetermined by the manufacturer is directed to either the washing tub or the condensate tank. In another embodiment of the present invention, the hot water can be directed to both the washing tub and the condensate tank at the same time. In the embodiment of the present invention, the first delivery line and the second delivery line are hoses.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the delivery mechanism comprises a third delivery line, one end of which is connected to the washing machine water line and the other end opening to the detergent dispenser in the washing machine. In this embodiment of the present invention, the water heated for the tub cleaning program is directed from the washing tub to the detergent dispenser in a controlled manner via the valve by means of the third delivery line. The water sent to the detergent dispenser returns to the washing tub through the existing tub inlet hose. In another embodiment of the present invention, the water heated in the tub cleaning program is sent to the washing tub, the condensate tank and the detergent dispenser via the valve. By means of the present invention, the water used in the tub cleaning program in the washing machine is sent to both the condensate tank and the detergent dispenser, thus enabling the condensate tank and the detergent dispenser to be cleaned, providing hygiene.
In an embodiment of the control method of the present invention, the control method is suitable for the household appliance described above, and comprises the steps of heating the water in the washing tub to 70°C and above when the user selects the tub cleaning program, and delivering the heated water to the condensate tank via the first delivery line by opening the valve.
In another embodiment of the control method of the present invention, the control method is suitable for the household appliance described above, and comprises the steps of heating the water in the washing tub to 70°C and above when the user selects the tub cleaning program, and delivering the heated water to the detergent dispenser via the third delivery line by opening the valve.
In yet another embodiment of the control method of the present invention, the control method is suitable for the household appliance described above, and comprises the steps of heating the water in the washing tub to 70°C and above when the user selects the tub cleaning program, and delivering the heated water both to the condensate tank and the detergent dispenser by opening the valve.
By means of the present invention, the water heated in the tub cleaning program is used to clean the inside of the washing machine, and by making use of its heat, biofilm and microorganisms accumulated on the walls of the condensate tank and detergent dispenser are removed, providing hygiene.
