Definitions

  • the invention relates to a domestic appliance, especially to a dryer for textiles or a washing machine.
  • a problem is that the steam unit needs to be supplied by fresh water which has to be free from lime and other contaminations.
  • the condense water from the condensation in a dryer can not be used because it contains foreign matters and dirt which is cumulated during the condensation process in the condensate reservoir. If such water would be used dirt and other foreign matters would be brought again into the textile, which is not desirable.
  • the water reservoir can be arranged preferably in an upper region or in the lower region within the domestic appliance.
  • the water reservoir and the condensate reservoir can be hydraulically connected. In this case it is possible that a filter element is arranged between the water reservoir and the condensate reservoir.
  • the water reservoir can have a venting element which is in fluidic connection with the condensate reservoir or with the reception slot for the condensate reservoir.
  • the water reservoir can be equipped with a sensor device for detecting the water level in the water reservoir.
  • the domestic appliance can have means for displaying the level in the water reservoir detected by the sensor device.
  • the means for displaying can be integrated in the control panel of the domestic appliance. They can also be integrated in a front region of the water reservoir, i. e. in the water reservoir itself.
  • An alternative embodiment is characterized in that the means for displaying are integrated in the bottom region of the domestic appliance.
  • a preferred embodiment of the domestic appliance has means for preventing the activation of the steam unit if the sensor device detects a water level in the water reservoir which is below a defined minimum level.
  • a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the water reservoir has a coating with an antibacterial effect.
  • the water reservoir can be held in the domestic appliance by quick releasing means. This is also helpful in the production process of the appliance and in case of service, for example when the water reservoir hast to be changed or cleaned.
  • an outlet tube for fluids contained inside the water reservoir can be provided at the water reservoir.
  • this outlet tube it is possible to empty the water reservoir. Additionally it can be used to clean the water reservoir by directing cleaning fluid through the water reservoir, for example by filling the cleaning fluid into the filling device and by removing it through the outlet tube.
  • the water reservoir is located in an upper or lower interspace in the domestic appliance.
  • FIG 1 a home dryer 1 for drying textiles is shown wherein the drying of the textiles occurs in a well known manner.
  • the textiles (not depicted) are placed in a drum 16.
  • the dryer 1 is designed as a dryer of the condensation type. I. e. is has a condensate reservoir 8 in which water is collected which is extracted from the wet textiles.
  • a hot or superheated steam process is carried out in the dryer 1.
  • I. e. hot or superheated steam is applied to the textiles in the drum 16 of the dryer.
  • a steam unit 2 is arranged within the dryer 1 for the production of hot steam,
  • the steam unit 2 needs water. This must be as clean and contamination-free as possible. Therefore a separate water reservoir 3 is arranged in the dryer 1 which can be removed from the dryer 1. Not depicted quick releasing means are supplied to hold the water reservoir 3 in position during use.
  • the dryer 1 has a reception slot 5 in which not only the water reservoir 3 but also the condensate reservoir 8 is arranged.
  • the water reservoir 3 is arranged in the upper region 6 of the dryer. Is would also be possible to locate it in another region of the dryer 1, e. g. in the lower region 7.
  • the water reservoir 3 and the condensate reservoir 8 are arranged side by side, i. e. adjacent to another.
  • a hydraulic connection 9 is supplied so that water from the condensate reservoir 8 can be transferred to the water reservoir 3.
  • a - not depicted - filter element is positioned in the hydraulic connection 9.
  • the water reservoir 3 has a filling device 11 for filling in water 4 into the water reservoir 3. Furthermore, the water reservoir 3 has a venting element 10,
  • a recessed grip 17 is arranged in the front of the water reservoir 3 to facilitate the handling of the water reservoir 3.
  • an antibacterial coating is used in the inner of the water reservoir 3 it can be made sure that not algae will appear. This is especially reasonable if usual tap water is used.
  • FIG 4 shows another example of a water reservoir 3 useable in domestic appliances 1 according to the invention, especially in the home dryer 1 shown in FIG 5 .
  • This water reservoir 3 is provided with a filling device 11 to fill water into the water reservoir 3.
  • FIG 7 shows the above mentioned filling device 11 in detail.
  • the filling device 11 comprises a movable filling baffle 23.
  • a filter element 24, for example a sieve is placed in front of the filling baffle 23.
  • This filter element 24 is designed to be arranged inside the filling baffle 23 to clean the water filled into the water reservoir 3 through the filling baffle 23, for example by removing contaminants like dirt particles.
