Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a domestic clothes washing machine with washing agents flushing-in device having split flushing liquid flow.
  • the various agents are taken up by means of a jet of water directed in turn onto one of the different sections.
  • the jet is oriented by means of mechanical directing devices, which are not very reliable, or, preferably, by generating different jets suitably oriented by means of solenoid valves, each of which produces a specific jet.
  • the conjoint generation of the first and the second jet, which are caused to interfere in a first intersection zone, makes it possible to obtain a fourth jet (with dispersed flows), having an orientation intermediate between those of the first and second jets, and which can be used for taking-up bleaching agent from a third compartment, while the dispersed flows pour into the compartment containing the washing detergent, emptied in a previous stage of the washing cycle, and into the washing tub.
  • the fifth jet may be used for taking up fabric softening substances, generally in liquid phase, from a fourth compartment, while the dispersed flows pour into the two compartments for containing the detergent for the main wash and the pre-wash.
  • the aim of the present invention is to eliminate these drawbacks to a great extent and to improve the efficacy of the entire washing operation.
  • the invention solves the problem of reducing to a minimum the dispersed flows which affect the containers of detergent, such that the likelihood of entrainment of residual detergent in the course of the subsequent stages of bleaching and fabric softening is reduced to a minimum and practically eliminated, and the efficacy of the two treatments is ensured and obtained, among other things, with a reduced use of bleaching and fabric softening substances.
  • the device comprises a group of solenoid valves 1, 2, 3 fed with water from a pipe E, connected to the water supply network.
  • the outlet channels 5, 6 of the solenoid valves 2 and 3 terminate respectively in two delivery nozzles 10, 11 of equal cross-section which, according to the pressure of the water supply network, provide equal outlet flow rates.
  • the outlet channel 4 of the solenoid valve 1 has a bifurcation 7 which divides it into two channels 41, 42 terminating in two delivery nozzles, respectively 8 and 9, having a cross-section equal to that of the nozzles 10, 11 such that the flow rates emerging from the different nozzles are equal.
  • the nozzle 8 is oriented in such a way as to inject its flow into a delivery channel 141, passing into an intersection node 12.
  • the nozzle 9 is oriented in such a way as to inject its flow into a delivery channel 142, passing into a second intersection node 13.
  • the nozzle 10 is oriented in such a way as to inject its flow into a delivery channel 15, passing through the node 12.
  • the nozzle 11 is oriented in such a way as to inject its flow into a delivery channel 16, passing through the node 13.
  • This flow is collected by a delivery channel 17, oriented precisely in the intermediate direction.
  • the dispersed flows impose a certain order of use, and therefore of generation, of the flows emerging from the different channels, such that the dispersed flows irrigate containing compartments from which the agents have already been taken up and in which only residues are present.
  • the flow emerging from the delivery channel 18 may be used for taking up a fabric softener from its container.
  • the dispersed flows emerging from the delivery channels 142 and 16 are respectively conveyed directly into the washing tub and onto the main wash detergent container, already emptied.
  • the volume of liquid used for taking up the fabric softener (generally in liquid phase) is a modest fraction of the entire volume of liquid delivered, and the dispersion flow which affects the main wash detergent container, already emptied, is an even more modest fraction, to obvious advantage, since the likelihood of unwanted residues of detergent being taken up and conveyed into the washing tub is reduced.
  • the symbols EV, CHAN, PW, WW, RIN, BLE, SOFT indicate respectively the solenoid valves (EV), the delivery channels (CHAN), the various containers for pre-wash (PW), main wash (WW), bleaching (BLE), fabric softening (SOFT) agents and the rinsing stage (RIN).
  • Figures 3 and 4 show a preferred embodiment of the take-up device shown diagrammatically in Figure 1 .
  • this consists of a flattened box-like body 20 ( Fig. 3 ) preferably obtained by injection-moulding of plastics material and closed at the top by a lid (not illustrated, in order to allow the inside of the box-like body 20 to be seen) heat-welded or fixed by snap fastening or screws onto the box-like body.
  • a pull-out sliding drawer 21 Arranged beneath the box-like body is a pull-out sliding drawer 21 ( Fig. 4 ), known per se and currently used in domestic washing machines.
  • the compartment 22 is intended to contain pre-wash detergent, the compartment 23 main wash detergent, the compartment 25 bleaching agent and the compartment 25 a fabric softener.
  • the various compartments are provided with a discharge opening, respectively 26, 27, 28, 29, in case formed by a reverse siphon, through which the liquid for transporting the washing agents is discharged into an underlying collecting funnel (not illustrated and known per se) and thence conveyed into the washing tub.
  • the box-like body 20 has three inlet pipes 4, 5, 6 (the elements functionally equivalent to those of Figure 1 are identified by the same reference numbers) which are connected to the outlet of the solenoid control valves 1, 2, 3.
  • the pipe 4 has a bifurcation 7 which divides it into two pipes 41, 42.
  • the different pipes terminate in the outflow nozzles 8, 9, 10, 11, which define two intersection nodes at which the base plate of the box-like body has a pair of openings 30, 31 which, in a known manner, form a so-called "free air path".
  • one or both of the pipes terminate in the gasket of the load opening, so as to irrigate directly the contents of the drum housed in the washing chamber.
  • the collecting channels 15, 16 Aligned in the direction of the nozzles 10 and 11 are formed the collecting channels 15, 16 which open respectively into two sections 34, 35 lying above the compartments 22 and 23 of the drawer 21.
  • the bottom of the sections 34, 35 has openings 36 which discharge the liquid admitted into the sections into the underlying compartments, distributing it uniformly, so as to bring about the efficient take-up of the detergent contained therein.
  • the collecting channels 17 and 18 Aligned in a direction intermediate to that of the nozzles 8, 10 and 9, 11 respectively are formed the collecting channels 17 and 18 which open respectively into two sections 37, 38 lying above the compartments 24 and 25 of the drawer 21.
  • the bottom of these sections also has openings which discharge the liquid present therein into the underlying compartments 24, 25 in order to take up the washing agents contained therein (bleaching agent and fabric softener).
  • the flow rate of the various flows may be defined by the same solenoid valves 1, 2, 3, suitably sized.
  • All the flow rates of liquid emerging from the solenoid valves may be equal to one another, providing for a suitable orientation of the collecting channels 17, 18 which takes account of the vectorial composition of the quantity of motion of the two flows which intersect each other.
  • the number of solenoid valves used may be more than three, or provision may be made for the division of the flow emerging from more than one solenoid valve and for interference between more than two pairs of flows.
