  • a laundry treatment agent in particular a powdered detergent or a liquid detergent, can be provided in the flushing device 11, which, together with the water, can be present as a tub 12 configured treatment container 12 of the household appliance 1 passes.
  • a drum may be arranged.
  • the Venturi pump 10 is connected via a line 13 to the check valve 8.
  • the solenoid valve 9 is arranged in the line 13.
  • the Venturi pump 10 has a tubular base body 15.
  • the tubular base body 15 has an axial through bore 16.
  • the venturi pump 10 has a nozzle body 17.
  • the axial through-bore 16 of the Venturi pump 10 is connected to the flushing device 11.
  • the nozzle body 17 is inserted at a further end 19 of the main body 15 in this base body 15.
  • the tubular base body 15 at the end 19 has an internal thread 20 and the nozzle body 17 has a corresponding external thread 21, and the nozzle body 17 is screwed with its external thread 21 into the internal thread 20 of the tubular base body 15.
  • the nozzle body 17 is preferably only partially screwed into the base body 15, wherein an axial position of the nozzle body 17 with respect to the tubular base body 15 can be predetermined by a screw-in depth 22.
  • an O-shaped sealing ring 23 is provided which is presently arranged in a groove of the nozzle body 17.
  • the recess 24 is formed between the main body 15 and the nozzle body 17 inserted into the main body 15, wherein the recess 24 is connected via a lateral bore 25 in the main body 15 to the conduit 13.
  • the lateral bore 25 is connected via the solenoid valve 9 to an input side 26 of the water supply line 7 and thus to the check valve 8.
  • the nozzle body 17 has an axial suction bore 30, through which a suction side 30 of the Venturi pump 10 is formed.
  • the suction hole 30 discharges directly into the through hole 16 of the base body 15.
  • a straight path through the suction bore 30 and the through hole 16 is formed by the venturi pump 10.
  • a contaminated medium flowing from the liquid container 5 through the venturi pump 10 for example a lint-containing condensed water, can advantageously flow through the venturi pump 10 without the risk of the impurities from accumulating and thus clogging of the pump 10.
  • the nozzle body 17 has a nozzle outlet section 31.
  • the suction bore 30 opens at the nozzle outlet portion 31 into the through hole 16 of the main body 15. Further, the nozzle outlet portion 31 separates the outlet bore 30 from the recess 24 of the main body 15.
  • the nozzle outlet portion 31 is here designed thin-walled.
  • the nozzle outlet section 31 tapers at least in sections in the direction of the end 18 of the Venturi pump 10.
  • an annular gap 32 is formed between the nozzle outlet section 31 and the through-bore 16 and / or the recess 24, an annular gap 32 is formed.
  • a width 33 of the annular gap 32 is variable via the axial position of the nozzle body 17 with respect to the base body 15. In the present case, the width 33 of the annular gap 32 can be adjusted by the screw-in depth 22.
  • an insertion depth 22 is then varied. This can be done for example via a suitable actuator, in particular an electric motor drive. As a result, an adaptation to desired or given operating situations can be carried out continuously.
  • the liquid container 5 serves for the temporary storage of a liquid medium, in particular a condensed water.
  • the liquid container 5 may be completely or partially filled with condensate after a drying process. If the domestic appliance 1 is now operated for washing laundry, fresh water is passed through the venturi pump 10 via the check valve 8 and the solenoid valve 9. This fresh water flows from the recess 24 of the venturi pump 10 via the annular gap 32 in the through hole 16. This results in a negative pressure in the suction bore 30 of the venturi 10. This allows the suction of condensed water from the liquid container 5.
  • the sucked condensed water passes through the suction hole 30 in the through hole 16, where it mixes with the fresh water and passes together with this through the flushing 11 into the treatment tank 12. This reduces the need for fresh water.
  • the Venturi pump 10 can pass unhindered.
  • the venturi pump 10 is thus characterized by a high functionality, in particular resistance to contaminated liquids. It is particularly advantageous in this case that the fresh water serving as the driving medium is not guided centrally through the nozzle body 17, but over the recess 24 and the annular gap 32. In this case, an annular nozzle opening 32 is formed through the annular gap 32 through the nozzle exit section 31 and the recess 24.
  • the Venturi pump 10 also has the advantage that it works purely passive. There is thus no additional energy needed for pumping. Furthermore, a connection to a corresponding associated control or the like can be omitted. In addition, the Venturi pump 10 contains no moving parts, so that a high reliability over the life of the domestic appliance 1 and the device assembly 3 is ensured with the household appliances 1 and 2. In addition, the nozzle geometry can be changed in a simple manner by an axial adjustment of the nozzle body 17 with respect to the base body 15. This can be done over a wide range of adaptation to desired or given operating situations.
