Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein wasserführendes Hausgerät, insbesondere ein Wäschebehandlungsgerät zum Waschen und/oder Trocknen von Wäsche. Speziell betrifft die Erfindung das Gebiet der Waschmaschinen und Waschtrockner.The invention relates to a water-conducting domestic appliance, in particular a laundry treatment appliance for washing and / or drying laundry. Specifically, the invention relates to the field of washing machines and washer-dryers.

Aus der DE 20 2006 019 468 U1 ist eine Anordnung mit einer Einspülschale und einem Schalengriff für eine Waschmaschine bekannt. Hierbei weist der Schalengriff eine Grifföffnung auf, durch die ein Benutzer mit einer Hand greifen kann, um die Einspülschale an dem Schalengriff aus einem Gehäuse der Waschmaschine zu ziehen.From the DE 20 2006 019 468 U1 an arrangement with a Einspülschale and a shell handle for a washing machine is known. Here, the tray handle has a handle opening through which a user can grasp with one hand to pull the dispenser tray on the tray handle from a housing of the washing machine.

Aus der US 2006/0075790 A1 ist eine Waschmaschine bekannt. Die bekannte Waschmaschine weist einen Waschmittelbehälter, ein Gehäuse und ein Filter auf. Der Waschmittelbehälter ist auf einer Seite der Maschine angeordnet. Über Rohre wird ein Luftstrom aus der Waschmaschine geführt. Der Waschmittelbehälter befindet sich hierbei bezüglich des Luftstroms zwischen den Rohren, so dass der Luftstrom durch das Filter des Waschmittelbehälters strömt.From the US 2006/0075790 A1 is a washing machine known. The known washing machine has a detergent container, a housing and a filter. The detergent container is arranged on one side of the machine. A stream of air is routed out of the washing machine via pipes. The detergent container is in this case with respect to the air flow between the tubes, so that the air flow flows through the filter of the detergent container.

Bei einer Waschmaschine ist es denkbar, dass Ozon eingesetzt wird, um das Wasch- bzw. Reinigungsergebnis zu verbessern. Dazu kann zum Beispiel Ozon in einen Laugenbehälter oder dergleichen der Waschmaschine eingelassen werden, um dort in Kontakt mit der zu behandelnden Wäsche zu kommen. Dabei besteht das Problem, dass im Allgemeinen eine gasdichte Ausgestaltung der Waschmaschine nicht zulässig ist, andererseits aber auch das Austreten von Ozon aus der Waschmaschine nicht erwünscht und gegebenenfalls auch nicht zulässig ist. Speziell könnte das Ozon über die Einspülschale entweichen.In a washing machine, it is conceivable that ozone is used to improve the washing or cleaning result. For this purpose, for example, ozone can be introduced into a tub or the like of the washing machine in order to come into contact there with the laundry to be treated. There is the problem that in general a gas-tight design of the washing machine is not allowed, but on the other hand, the leakage of ozone from the washing machine is not desirable and possibly also not allowed. Specifically, the ozone could escape through the dispenser tray.

In der in der Fig. 1 dargestellten Stellung ist die Einspülschale 3 vollständig in das Gehäuse 2 eingeschoben. Je nach Ausgestaltung der Einspülschale 3 kann diese in der eingeschobenen Stellung auch etwas aus dem Gehäuse 2 herausstehen.The domestic appliance 1 has a housing 2 and an induction bowl 3. The housing 2 is usually designed in several parts and composed of different components. Here, the housing 2 may comprise a shell housing 4, in which the dispenser shell 3 can be inserted. In the in the Fig. 1 shown position, the dispenser 3 is completely inserted into the housing 2. Depending on the design of the dispenser shell 3, this can also protrude somewhat out of the housing 2 in the inserted position.

Die Einspülschale 3 weist eine oder mehrere Kammern 5 auf, die zum Aufnehmen von Wäschebehandlungsmitteln dienen. Beispielsweise kann ein pulverförmiges Wäschebehandlungsmittel, insbesondere ein Vollwaschmittel, ein flüssiges Wäschebehandlungsmittel, insbesondere ein Weichspüler, oder auch ein anderes Behandlungsmittel, insbesondere ein Imprägniermittel, in die Kammer 5 eingefüllt werden.The dispenser tray 3 has one or more chambers 5, which serve to receive laundry treatment means. For example, a pulverulent laundry treatment agent, in particular a heavy-duty detergent, a liquid laundry treatment agent, in particular a softener, or also another treatment agent, in particular an impregnating agent, can be introduced into the chamber 5.

Die Einspülschale 3 weist einen Schalengriff 6 auf. Eine Vorderseite 7 der Einspülschale 3 ist hierbei an dem Schalengriff 6 ausgestaltet. Die Einspülschale 3 kann auch mehrteilig ausgestaltet sein. Beispielsweise kann der Schalengriff 6 mit einem die Kammer 5 umschließenden Behälterteil zusammengesteckt sein.The dispenser tray 3 has a tray handle 6. A front side 7 of the dispenser 3 is in this case configured on the tray handle 6. The dispenser 3 can also be designed in several parts. For example, the shell handle 6 may be plugged together with a container part enclosing the chamber 5.

Der Schalengriff 6 weist einen Eingriff 8 auf, vor dem von der Vorderseite 7 her gesehen ein Griffbereich 9 gebildet ist. Der Griffbereich 9 ist in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel von einer Filtervorrichtung 10 verschlossen. Die Filtervorrichtung 10 umfasst einen Rahmen 11 und eine in dem Rahmen 11 angeordnete Füllung 12. Der Rahmen 11 umschließt die Füllung 12. Hierbei ist die Filtervorrichtung 10 über ein Lager 13 schwenkbar angeordnet. Die Filtervorrichtung 10 kann um das Lager 13 in einer Öffnungsrichtung 14 geschwenkt werden.The shell grip 6 has an engagement 8, in front of which, seen from the front side 7, a grip region 9 is formed. The grip region 9 is closed by a filter device 10 in this exemplary embodiment. The filter device 10 comprises a frame 11 and a filling 12 arranged in the frame 11. The frame 11 encloses the filling 12. In this case, the filter device 10 is pivotably arranged via a bearing 13. The filter device 10 can be pivoted about the bearing 13 in an opening direction 14.

Oberhalb der Filtervorrichtung 10 ist ein Erfassungselement 15 mit einem Stift 16 angeordnet. Der Stift 16 kann in ein Gehäuse 17 des Erfassungselements 15 eingeschoben werden. Beispielsweise kann das Erfassungselement 15 die Funktionsweise eines Tasters haben, so dass bei hinein gedrücktem Stift 16 ein Stromkreis geschlossen ist. Das Erfassungselement 15 ist beispielsweise mit einer Steuerung des wasserführenden Hausgeräts 1 verbunden.Above the filter device 10, a detection element 15 is arranged with a pin 16. The pin 16 can be inserted into a housing 17 of the detection element 15. For example, the detection element 15 may have the function of a button, so that when pushed in pin 16 a Circuit is closed. The detection element 15 is connected, for example, to a controller of the water-conducting domestic appliance 1.

Beim Öffnen der Filtervorrichtung 10 in der Öffnungsrichtung 14 wird nach einem gewissen Schwenkwinkel der Stift 16 in das Gehäuse 17 gedrückt, wodurch das Erfassungselement 15 betätigt wird. Hierdurch ist eine Verstellung der Filtervorrichtung 10 erfassbar. In dieser Stellung der Filtervorrichtung 10 kann der Benutzer die Einspülschale 3 durch Eingreifen mit einer Hand in den Griffbereich 9 aus dem Gehäuse 2 herausziehen.When opening the filter device 10 in the opening direction 14, the pin 16 is pressed into the housing 17 after a certain pivot angle, whereby the detection element 15 is actuated. As a result, an adjustment of the filter device 10 can be detected.

In das Lager 13 kann eine Schraubfeder integriert sein, die die Filtervorrichtung 10 in der in der Fig. 1 dargestellten geschlossenen Stellung hält.In the bearing 13, a helical spring may be integrated, the filter device 10 in the in the Fig. 1 illustrated closed position holds.

Im Betrieb des wasserführenden Hausgeräts 1 kann Ozon oder ein anderes, vergleichbar wirkendes Gas eingesetzt werden, um einen Behandlungs- oder Reinigungserfolg zu verbessern. Hierbei muss gewährleistet sein, dass kein oder nur eine unbedenkliche Menge des Ozons aus dem Gehäuse 2 austritt. Andererseits darf das Gehäuse 2 auch nicht vollständig abgedichtet sein, da sich beispielsweise elektrische Komponenten im Gehäuse 2 befinden.In the operation of the water-bearing domestic appliance 1, ozone or another, comparably acting gas can be used to improve a treatment or cleaning success. It must be ensured that no or only a harmless amount of ozone escapes from the housing 2. On the other hand, the housing 2 may not be completely sealed, since, for example, electrical components are in the housing 2.

Das Hausgerät 1 weist eine freie Belüftung des Behandlungsbereichs auf. Beispielsweise kann der Behandlungsbereich innerhalb eines Laugenbehälters ausgestaltet sein. Das wasserführende Hausgerät 1 weist dann eine freie Laugenbehälterbelüftung auf. Hierbei kann ein Gasfluss von Gasen aus dem Behandlungsbereich über die Einspülschale 3 aus dem Gehäuse 2 heraus auftreten, wie es durch die Pfeile 18, 19, 20 veranschaulicht ist. Der Gasfluss tritt hierbei über die gasdurchlässige Füllung 12 der Filtervorrichtung 10 auf. Ansonsten ist das Gehäuse 2 im Bereich der Einspülschale 3 zumindest im Wesentlichen abgedichtet. Wird beispielsweise der Laugenbehälter mit ozonhaltiger Luft befüllt, dann gelangt ein Teil des Ozons auch in das Schalengehäuse 4.The household appliance 1 has a free ventilation of the treatment area. For example, the treatment area can be configured within a tub. The water-bearing domestic appliance 1 then has a free liquor tank ventilation. In this case, a gas flow of gases from the treatment area via the dispenser tray 3 out of the housing 2 may occur, as illustrated by the arrows 18, 19, 20. The gas flow occurs here via the gas-permeable filling 12 of the filter device 10. Otherwise, the housing 2 is at least substantially sealed in the region of the dispensing tray 3. If, for example, the tub is filled with ozone-containing air, then part of the ozone also enters the shell housing 4.

Neben dem natürlichen Zerfall des Ozons, der von der Zeit und von Reaktionen mit Oberflächenverunreinigungen wie beispielsweise Fetten oder Biofilmen abhängt, gibt es weitere Möglichkeiten des kontrollierten Ozonabbaus. Neben anderen geeigneten Katalysatormaterialien und Temperaturen von etwa 300°C ist Aktivkohle ein einfaches, aber wirksames Mittel zum Ozonabbau. Dabei wird die Aktivkohle zu gasförmigem Kohlendioxid abgebaut.In addition to the natural decay of ozone, which depends on time and reactions with surface contaminants such as fats or biofilms, there are other possibilities of controlled ozone depletion. In addition to other suitable catalyst materials and temperatures of about 300 ° C, activated carbon is a simple, but effective means of ozone depletion. The activated carbon is degraded to gaseous carbon dioxide.

Bei dem in der Fig. 1 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel wirkt die Filtervorrichtung 10 zum einen als Filter. Zum anderen hat die Filtervorrichtung 10 die Funktion einer verschließenden Klappe für die durch den Eingriff 8 gebildete Griffmulde des Schalengriffs 6. Die luftdurchlässige Füllung 12 kann in Form eines Vlieses, eines offenporigen Schaums oder eines Gitters ausgestaltet sein. Die Füllung 12 besteht aus einem Ozon abbauenden Material oder ist mit einem solchen beschichtet. In Frage kommen Substanzen, wie zum Beispiel ein geeigneter Katalysator zum Abbau des Ozons oder Aktivkohle. Bei geschlossener Einspülschale 3 ist auch die über die Federkraft geschlossene, durch die Filtervorrichtung 10 gebildete Klappe 10 geschlossen, so dass ein Luftaustausch aus dem Laugenbehälter ausschließlich über die Füllung 12 der Filtervorrichtung 10 stattfindet.In the in the Fig. 1 illustrated embodiment, the filter device 10 acts as a filter. On the other hand, the filter device 10 has the function of a closing flap for the recessed grip formed by the grip 8 of the shell handle 6. The air-permeable filling 12 may be configured in the form of a nonwoven, an open-cell foam or a grid. The filling 12 is made of or coated with an ozone-depleting material. In question come substances such as a suitable catalyst for the degradation of ozone or activated carbon. When the dispenser shell 3 is closed, the flap 10, which is closed by the spring force and formed by the filter device 10, is closed so that an air exchange takes place from the tub exclusively via the filling 12 of the filter device 10.

Wenn der Benutzer während der Zufuhr von Ozon in den Behandlungsbereich die Filtervorrichtung 10 zurückdrückt und das Erfassungselement 15 betätigt wird, dann unterbricht die Steuerung des wasserführenden Hausgeräts 1 in vorteilhafter Weise die weitere Zufuhr von ozonhaltiger Luft in den Laugenbehälter. Hierdurch gelangt auch kein Ozon mehr in die Einspülschale 3. Zum Unterbrechen der Ozonzufuhr kann auch ein anderer geeigneter Mechanismus bzw. eine elektrische Schaltung dienen.If the user pushes back the filter device 10 during the supply of ozone into the treatment area and the detection element 15 is actuated, the control of the water-conducting domestic appliance 1 advantageously interrupts the further supply of ozone-containing air into the tub. As a result, no more ozone enters the dispensing bowl 3. To interrupt the ozone supply can also serve another suitable mechanism or an electrical circuit.

Das Vorhandensein der zusätzlichen, Ozon abbauenden Filtervorrichtung 10 verhindert somit zuverlässig den unkontrollierten Austritt von Ozon aus dem Gehäuse 2 des wasserführenden Hausgeräts 1, ohne dass die notwendige Belüftung des Laugenbehälters behindert wird.The presence of the additional, ozone-depleting filter device 10 thus reliably prevents the uncontrolled escape of ozone from the housing 2 of the water-bearing domestic appliance 1, without the necessary ventilation of the tub is obstructed.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf die beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt.The invention is not limited to the described embodiments.
