Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for operating a washing machine and to a washing machine.
  • the invention relates to a method for operating a washing machine with a tub for holding water, a drum rotatably mounted in the tub for holding laundry, a motor for driving the drum and a control or regulating device, the method comprising a pre-ironing phase for pre-ironing the laundry in the drum, and to the corresponding washing machine.
  • the pre-ironing phase the laundry is de-creased by being exposed to steam.
  • the pre-ironing phase ensures that the laundry is de-creased.
  • the level of creasing subjectively perceived by a user of the de-creased laundry i.e. laundry that has undergone the pre-ironing phase
  • this form of de-creasing is very energy-intensive, because the desired effect can only be achieved with high temperatures and long exposure times.
  • the invention therefore addresses the problem of providing a method for operating a washing machine and a washing machine which minimizes or avoids the degree of creasing of laundry with minimal energy consumption.
  • the advantages that can be achieved with the invention are not only the prevention or minimization of the formation of wrinkled textiles in a washing process, but also the fact that this leads to a significant reduction and minimization of ironing effort.
  • the process is optimized so that the laundry is wearable again after a relatively short processing time.
  • the laundry is one or more textiles such as shirts or blouses.
  • the invention relates to a method for operating a washing machine with a tub for holding water, a ribless drum rotatably mounted in the tub for holding laundry, a motor for driving the drum and a control or regulating device, wherein the method has a pre-ironing phase for pre-ironing the laundry in the drum, in which steam is fed into the drum and in which the drum is set into a right-left pendulum movement with the aid of the motor, the pendulum rhythm of which is controlled or regulated with the aid of the control or regulating device in such a way that the drum is at least temporarily untouched by the laundry.
  • the laundry can include one or more textiles.
  • the textile(s) such as one or more shirts are made to fly by the pendulum rhythm.
  • the steam can flow through the laundry and be kept in suspension.
  • the significantly reduced lying times or breaks prevent or reduce the formation of creases, which mainly occur when the laundry is left lying for long periods.
  • the barrier-free drum which is ribless and has no laundry lifters, ensures that the laundry flies along a perfect trajectory.
  • a ribless drum is a drum that does not have a rib or driver inside. However, it can have other elevations and/or depressions that do not have the shape of the plate-shaped rib or driver.
  • the drum preferably the drum shell, preferably has depressions and/or elevations other than a rib. It preferably has honeycombs, each of which is designed as an elevation or depression.
  • the pre-ironing phase can be implemented, for example, using a selectable "pre-ironing" option that treats the laundry after a wash program has been completed in order to minimize the subsequent ironing effort.
  • the "pre-ironing" option is preferably stored in the washing machine and can be selected by the user together with a wash program stored in the washing machine.
  • the pre-ironing phase can be carried out using a washing program stored in the washing machine, in which laundry is refreshed and de-creased while dry, so that the laundry is wearable again after the program has been completed.
  • a washing program is stored in the washing machine with the name "Refresh" and can be selected by the user.
  • That the drum is at least temporarily untouched by the laundry is preferably understood to mean that the laundry does not touch the drum for a predetermined time, but rather floats in the drum without touching it. This prevents the laundry from resting on the drum. This floating state of the laundry is achieved in particular by the combination of the ribless drum, the pendulum movement of the drum and the introduction of steam.
  • the control or regulating device controls or regulates the pendulum rhythm depending on the type of laundry.
  • the trajectory of the laundry depends on the weight of the laundry and therefore also on the type of laundry.
  • Relatively heavy types of laundry, such as jeans, are preferably operated with a higher pendulum deflection than relatively light types of laundry. This ensures that the laundry items are always kept in a certain floating state.
  • the control or regulating device can, for example, determine the type of laundry based on the washing program selected and started. For example, the washing programs stored in the washing machine are each assigned a type of laundry.
  • the washing program "Whites 60°C” or “Cottons 90°C” is assigned the type of laundry cotton
  • the washing program “Delicates 30°C” is assigned the type of laundry shirt and/or blouse.
  • the control or regulating device can also prompt the user to enter the type of laundry via a keyboard or touch display before starting the washing program and/or to select a type of laundry displayed by the washing machine.
  • the control or regulating device controls or regulates the pendulum rhythm in such a way that it is varied depending on a period of time.
  • the residual moisture of the laundry varies over the period of time.
  • the variation in the residual moisture over the period of time can have been determined using model tests, so that a predetermined variation in the pendulum rhythm over the period of time is stored in the control or regulating device.
  • the control or regulating device controls or regulates the pendulum rhythm depending on the residual moisture of the laundry.
  • the trajectory of the laundry depends on the residual moisture, and the pendulum rhythm is adjusted to the residual moisture in order to to achieve the optimal flight path.
  • the steaming causes the laundry to become heavier during the pre-ironing phase and the residual moisture in the laundry increases. This increase in weight has a preferential effect on the deflection of the pendulum rhythms.
  • control or regulating device controls or regulates the pendulum rhythm in such a way that the heavier the type of laundry, the greater the pendulum deflection of the pendulum rhythm. This further optimizes the trajectory of the laundry, taking into account the type of laundry and its dependent weight.
  • control or regulating device preferably controls or regulates the pendulum rhythm in such a way that the pendulum deflection of the pendulum rhythm is greater the longer the period of time.
  • control or regulating device preferably controls or regulates the pendulum rhythm in such a way that the pendulum deflection of the pendulum rhythm is greater the greater the residual moisture of the laundry. This also ensures that the laundry is always kept in a predetermined floating state. The residual moisture increases during the pre-ironing phase and over time due to the steaming of the laundry, which therefore becomes increasingly heavier.
  • control or regulating device determines the residual moisture as a function of time. This increase is generally linear and depends on the type of laundry.
  • the steam is fed into the drum from below, based on the correct operating position of the washing machine. This means that the laundry is passed through by the warm air flowing in from below, further supporting its floating state in the drum.
  • control or regulating device controls or regulates a maximum pendulum deflection of the pendulum rhythm as a function of a maximum speed of the drum at which the drum is rotated during the pre-ironing phase.
  • the maximum speed is preferably in the range of 60 to 120 min -1 .
  • a relatively high steam temperature is not necessary, particularly for textiles with a high synthetic content, as the creasing of the laundry is largely reduced by the pendulum rhythm.
  • the disordered fiber state or creases are brought back to their original order by the laundry floating in the drum during the pre-ironing phase.
  • a steam temperature of ⁇ 50°C is sufficient to de-crease the laundry.
  • a steam temperature of ⁇ 50°C is preferred during the pre-ironing phase. Due to this relatively low temperature, no condensation occurs on the door inspection glass of the washing machine in the case of a front loader with a door inspection glass. This is particularly important for dry laundry from Advantage of the freshening process because no water stains will form on it. Furthermore, less energy is required for steaming the laundry during the pre-ironing phase.
  • a steam module can be used to generate the steam.
  • the steam can be generated by a heating element that is arranged underneath the drum and is designed to generate steam during the pre-ironing phase using an immersion heater principle. This is achieved, for example, by controlling or regulating the water level in the tub during the pre-ironing phase.
  • the invention further relates to a washing machine with a tub for holding water, a ribless drum rotatably mounted in the tub for holding laundry, a motor for driving the drum and a control or regulating device which is set up and designed to control or regulate a method according to one or more of the embodiments described above.
  • the washing machine can be designed as a washing machine or as a combination device such as a washer-dryer.
  • the preferred embodiments and advantages described for the method apply accordingly to the washing machine.
  • Fig.1 shows a partial cross-sectional view of a washing machine according to the invention.
  • the washing machine has a tub 1 for holding water (not shown), a ribless drum 2 rotatably mounted in the tub 1 for holding laundry 8 and a motor 3 for driving the drum 2.
  • the washing machine also has a detergent dispenser 6, which can optionally contain a treatment agent such as washing powder, and which is connected to the tub 1 so that water can be let into the tub 1 and the drum 2 via it.
  • the drum 2 has a plurality of drum openings (not shown) for flow.
  • the washing machine also has a drain device 5 in order to be able to remove the water 7 from the tub 1.
  • the drain device 5 has a drain pipe 5a which connects the tub 1 to a drain pump 5b, which in turn is connected to a drain line 5c, which usually opens into a sewer.
  • the washing machine has further comprises a control or regulating device 4 which is designed to control or regulate the motor 3, a water inlet and outlet, an execution of a washing program and the like.
  • the laundry 8 can also be treated for de-creasing using a washing program in which the dry laundry 8 placed in the drum 2 by the user is steamed by directing steam into the drum and in which the drum 2 is set into a right-left pendulum movement with the aid of the motor 3, the pendulum rhythm of which is controlled or regulated with the aid of the control or regulating device 4 in such a way that the drum 2 is at least temporarily untouched by the laundry 8.
  • Fig.2 shows a in which in Fig.1 shown washing machines as a diagram in chronological order.
  • the individual phases within the washing program Wp are shown on the time axis t.
  • the program sequence Wp shown here comprises a detection phase Er, a washing phase Wa, a rinsing phase Sp, a spinning phase Sc and a pre-ironing phase Vb.
  • the laundry item is detected in the detection phase Er by detecting the load of laundry in the drum. Water is then let in via the detergent drawer, which may cause any treatment agent stored therein, such as washing powder, to be let into the tub.
  • a heating-up section Hz in which the water is heated by means of a switched-on heating element in the washing machine to a temperature that is specified by the control or regulating device of the selected washing program Wp.
  • the heating element is switched off and a so-called post-wash section Na follows.
  • this post-wash section Na the laundry is moved by means of a rotating drum, during which the water cools down.
  • the washing phase Wa is ended by pumping out, whereby the drainage device, in particular the drainage pump, is activated.
  • the laundry can also be spun so that the water mixed with the treatment agent is removed from the laundry.
  • the rinsing phase Sp during which water is again let into the tub and the laundry is moved in it to rinse the laundry.
  • the rinsing water is pumped out, followed by the final spin Sc to drain the laundry.
  • the drum is rotated at a higher speed than the washing process, at which the laundry lies against the drum shell and the water is spun out of the laundry through the drum openings due to centrifugal force.
  • the drainage device is here activated so that the water is removed from the tub.
  • steam is fed into the drum and the drum is set in a right-left pendulum motion with the help of the motor, the pendulum rhythm of which is controlled or regulated with the help of the control or regulating device in such a way that the drum is at least temporarily untouched by the laundry. This de-creases the laundry.
