Definitions
- the present invention relates to a household appliance for treating laundry.
- Filter units used for filtering fluids are used in household appliances for treating laundry.
- the household appliance can Carry out cleaning and / or drying processes.
- the laundry is received in a receptacle of the household appliance.
- the receiving container is moved during the cleaning and / or drying process with the introduction of mechanics essentially around an axis of rotation.
- the laundry received in the receptacle is moved and simultaneously mixed with a fluid.
- the fluid mainly consists of a water-soap mixture, also known as wash liquor, and during the drying process, it mainly consists of steam or process air.
- the fluids also mix with particles that are released from clothing.
- the particles can be dust and / or dirt particles, for example.
- fibers in particular microplastic fibers, which, among other things, contained in fleece garments, from laundry. In this case, the main focus is on the fibers, which are increasingly detached from the laundry during these processes. In order to achieve good cleaning or drying success or to provide environmentally friendly cleaning and / or drying processes, these fibers must be removed from the fluids again.
- the filtering can take place before a pumping process of the fluid. If the fluid is no longer required for the respective process, the fluid is pumped off and passed into a drain line. In the area of this drain line, the fluid is also passed through a filter insofar as it has not already been filtered before this area.
- Filter systems in washing machines that are equipped with pumping units are, among other things, from the script US 2013/0312201 A1 known.
- This document describes a washing machine with a pumping unit, in which the wash liquor is pumped into a pumping unit, also called a recirculation system, by means of a pump unit and is pumped through a filter unit. The filtered fluid is then returned to the washing process directed.
- the filter unit has a filter and a measuring unit. The measuring unit measures a flow rate or flow rate of the wash liquor and recognizes from the measured values whether the filter is clogged. If this is the case, the washing machine then stops the pumping process. In order to be able to continue the washing process, a new washing solution is added to the washing process.
- a filter unit in washing machines with pumping systems, in which the filter unit is composed of two filters.
- the first filter is designed as a wide-mesh filter and the second filter as a narrow-mesh filter.
- the wash liquor flows through the first filter when the wash liquor is led into a drain line.
- the wash liquor flows through the second filter when the wash liquor is fed into the pumping system.
- the object of the invention is achieved by a household appliance for treating laundry, the household appliance being a receptacle for Includes laundry and the receptacle is rotatably received in the household appliance.
- the household appliance according to the invention comprises a drive unit for driving the receptacle, a control unit for controlling the drive unit, a pump unit for pumping around and / or pumping out the fluid present during a cleaning and / or drying process in such a way that the fluid passes through a filter unit in a filter phase for filtering fibers detachable from the laundry essentially during the cleaning and / or drying process, the control unit being designed such that the receiving container is in a rest position in the filter phase.
- the cleaning process essentially comprises at least one washing phase, at least one rinsing phase and at least one filter phase, the rinsing phase further comprising at least one spinning sequence and at least one rinsing sequence.
- the filter phase starts up after a washing and / or rinsing phase, preferably after almost every washing and / or rinsing phase, preferably after every washing and / or rinsing phase.
- the drying process preferably essentially comprises at least one spin phase and at least one drying phase. It is therefore a further advantage of the embodiment according to the invention that the filter phase after a spinning sequence and / or phase and / or drying phase, preferably after almost every spinning sequence and / or phase and / or drying phase, preferably after each spinning sequence and / or phase and / or drying phase takes place.
- the filter phase advantageously takes place before a washing and / or rinsing and / or drying phase or in an interruption of the washing and / or rinsing and / or drying phase, preferably in almost every interruption of the washing and / or rinsing and / or Drying phase, preferably in each interruption of the washing and / or rinsing and / or drying phase.
- the fibers removed from the laundry in the last phase can be removed from the cleaning and / or drying process , whereby the fibers do not get back into the following phases of the cleaning and / or drying process.
- the interruptions can be used for filter phases so that there is no extension of the cleaning and / or drying process.
- the rest position of the receptacle is controlled in such a way that the receptacle takes place along a predetermined braking curve in accordance with a predefinable reduction in speed.
- This control gently brakes the receptacle. This in turn benefits the laundry to be treated, since less frictional forces occur between the receptacle and the laundry and thus fewer fibers are released from the laundry.
- Another aspect of the invention is that the fluid present in the cleaning and / or drying process flows after passing through the filter unit into a drain line and / or into a recirculation line for returning the fluid to the cleaning and / or drying process.
- the filtered, environmentally friendly fluid which is almost free of microfibers, can thus be fed directly into the drain line and / or pumped into the recirculation line in order to be used in the further or new cleaning and / or drying process.
- a storage element is preferably arranged after the filter unit.
- the storage element serves to store the filtered fluid, regardless of the further use.
- the storage element is advantageously designed to store the fluid present in the cleaning and / or drying process after flowing through the filter unit and to guide the fluid via the pump unit to the drain line and / or the recirculation line.
- the fluid can be collected in the storage element. It can then be pumped into either the drain line or the recirculation line. If the fluid is to be pumped into the drain line, one pumping operation is sufficient with which the fluid collected in the storage element is to be separated. If the fluid is intended for recirculation, the filtered fluid can be kept there until a further phase of the cleaning and / or drying process starts or a new cleaning and / or drying process is initiated. Furthermore, it can be checked whether the stored fluid is sufficient for a further washing and / or drying process or whether new fluid has to be added to the filtered fluid, so that sufficient fluid for a further phase of the cleaning and / or drying process or a new cleaning - And / or drying process is present.
- the object is achieved by a method for filtering fibers of laundry which are produced in a household appliance for treating laundry.
- the household appliance comprises a receptacle for laundry, the receptacle being rotatably mounted in the household appliance, a drive unit for driving the receptacle, a control unit for actuating the drive unit, a pump unit for pumping around and / or pumping out the fluid present during the cleaning and / or drying process in this way that the fluid through a filter unit for filtering fibers detaching themselves substantially during the cleaning and / or drying process, the control unit being designed such that the receiving container is stopped in the filter phase for filtering the fluid.
- the stopping of the receptacle is advantageously controlled in such a way that the receptacle is braked along a predetermined braking curve in accordance with a predeterminable reduction in speed.
- the filter phase is preferably carried out after one of the phases carried out in the cleaning and / or drying process, the cleaning process essentially comprising a washing process which essentially comprises at least one wetting phase, at least one washing phase, at least one rinsing phase, at least one filter phase and at least one spinning phase , wherein the spinning phase comprises at least one spinning sequence and a rinsing sequence, and wherein the drying process essentially comprises at least one spinning phase and at least one drying phase.
- the filter phase is advantageously carried out before one of the phases carried out in the cleaning and / or drying process.
- immediate filtering Before one of the phases of the cleaning and / or drying process it is ensured that in a subsequent phase of the cleaning and / or drying process few or almost no fibers are introduced.
- the filter phase is carried out while the cleaning and / or drying process is interrupted.
- this interruption can be used for a filter phase, so that at least one additional filter phase, which would prolong the cleaning and / or drying process, can be omitted and thus shortening or not extending the process.

- a pivotable dryer door 9 is arranged on the dryer front wall 6 of the household appliance 1.
- a washer-dryer can also be read under a household appliance 1 for laundry care, but a detailed explanation is dispensed with below.
- the fluid in dryers is mostly air or process air.
- FIG. 3 is a schematic view of a household appliance for treating laundry with a circulation principle. This is a schematic interior view of a washing machine.
- the washing care device 1 comprises a recirculation unit 10, a receptacle 11 for holding laundry, also referred to as a washing drum, and a tub 12 for holding washing liquor.
- the receptacle 11 is rotatably received in the tub 12.
- the tub 12 also has a feed opening 13 and a discharge opening 14 with a discharge line 14a.
- the recirculation unit 10 comprises a recirculation line 15 which connects the supply opening 13 fluidically with the discharge line 14a and thus with the discharge opening 14 connects.
- the recirculation unit 10 comprises a pump unit 16 connected to the recirculation line 15.
- the pump unit 16 is designed to pump or pump wash liquor through the discharge opening 13 out of the tub 12 into the recirculation line 15 of the recirculation unit 10 and the wash liquor out of the recirculation line 15 to pump the feed opening 13 into the tub 12 again.
- the pump unit 16 essentially has a pump drive 17a and at least one pump 17b.
- the pump drive 17a essentially drives the at least one pump 17b.
- the washing care device 1 comprises a induction device 18, which is connected to the tub 12 by a tubing line 19, in order to introduce fresh water into the tub 12, among other things.
- the household appliance 1 further comprises a drive unit 20 for driving the receptacle 11 and a control unit 21 for controlling the drive unit 20.
- the control unit 21 is connected to the drive unit 20 via a drive control line 22 and to the pump unit 16 via a control connection 23.
- the household appliance 1 has a drain line 25, which guides the wash liquor to a drain (not shown) if it is no longer used or is required.
- the drain line 25 is also fluidly connected to the discharge opening 14.
- a filter unit 27 is arranged in the area of the discharge line 14a and filters the wash liquor that flows or is pumped out of the discharge opening 14.
- the filter unit 27 can be arranged before or after the pump unit 16.
- the composition of the filter unit 27 can be chosen as desired, so that an optimal composition for the intended use can be made. In any case, the filter unit 27 should be selected so that the dust and dirt particles mentioned at the beginning and the fibers can be filtered out of the wash liquor.
- the recirculation line 15 and the drain line 25 are connected downstream of the filter unit 27, so that the fibers cannot get into one of these lines 15, 25.
- the control unit 21 determines which of the two lines 15, 25, recirculation line 15 or drain line 25, the wash liquor is ultimately pumped into. This can depend on the degree of soiling of the wash liquor or on a cleaning process.
- a cleaning process can comprise several phases, which are discussed in more detail below.
- a storage element 29 can be connected downstream of the filter unit 27.
- the storage element 29 can preferably be arranged in the recirculation unit 10.
- the recirculation line 15 can be formed in one piece or in several pieces, depending on the location at which the storage element 29 is arranged.
- the storage element 29 serves to store water and / or wash liquor which is not required for the current cleaning process or one of the phases of the cleaning process, or is collected there in order to be used for a further cleaning process.
- the storage element 29 can also be arranged in the region of the drain line 25 in order to collect the drain water there.
- a number of pumping-down processes can be reduced, since, for example, only one pumping-out has to be pumped out. This would contribute to a reduction in the cleaning time.
- the storage element 29 is arranged in front of the filter unit 27 and stores the water or the washing liquor, which comes from the tub 12 via the discharge opening 14 into the discharge line 14a, in front of the filter unit 27.
- a cleaning process essentially comprises at least one wetting phase, at least one washing phase, at least one rinsing phase and at least one filter phase.
- the rinsing phase is in turn broken down into at least one spinning sequence and at least one rinsing sequence. How often one of the above phases is run through is, among other things, depending on the amount of laundry to be cleaned and the degree of soiling of the laundry as well as on the selection of the cleaning program.
- the laundry is wetted with water or wash liquor. This can be done via injection nozzles (not shown) and / or via the induction line 19.
- the wetting phases can be repeated any number of times.
- the washing phase the laundry is circulated and washed with rotation of the receptacle 11.
- the laundry soaked in washing liquor is rinsed in the rinsing phase, so that the washing liquor is rinsed out of the laundry. This is usually done by several spinning and rinsing sequences.
- the laundry is moved back and forth in the receptacle 11 and thereby experiences friction caused by the rotation of the Receptacle 11 or the wash liquor or the water is formed.
- This removes the dust and dirt particles from the laundry, but fibers, in particular microplastic fibers, are also removed from the laundry. These fibers are harmful to the environment and contaminate the cleaning process.
- the dust and dirt particles and the fibers are filtered out of the wash liquor or the water discharged through the discharge opening 14 by the filter unit 27.
- the filter phases mentioned above are provided for this.
- the water and / or the wash liquor which is located in the tub 12, is pumped by the pump unit 16 through the filter unit 27.
- the receptacle 11 is in a rest position during the filter phase, i.e. no mechanism or other kinetic energy acts on the receptacle 11.
- no new washing liquor or water is introduced into the tub 12 via the induction line 19.
- the control of the receptacle 11 takes place via the control unit 21.
- the receptacle 11 is preferably braked along a predetermined braking curve according to a predeterminable reduction in the speed into the rest position.
- the braking does not occur abruptly, so that very high frictional forces can act on the laundry.
- the braking preferably takes place as slowly as possible, since this results in the least friction between the laundry and the receptacle 11. However, an unnecessary extension of the cleaning process should be avoided.
- a filter phase advantageously takes place after a washing and / or rinsing phase.
- fibers which have been released from the laundry in the upstream washing and / or rinsing phase can be removed immediately from the cleaning process, so that, for example, a better cleaning result can be achieved.
- the more often a filter phase takes place the less fiber is the wash liquor or the water.
- a filter phase is preferably carried out after almost every washing and / or rinsing phase or even after every washing and / or rinsing phase. It is important that a reasonable amount of filter phases should be selected so that the cleaning result is optimal, but the duration of the cleaning process does not increase indefinitely.
- the filter phase takes place before the washing and / or rinsing phase or in an interruption of the washing and / or rinsing phase.
- This has the advantage that the cleaning process does not have to be interrupted to implement at least one filter phase in the cleaning process.
- Applying the filter phase before a washing and / or rinsing phase has the advantage that the wash liquor or the water that is required for the subsequent phase is filtered immediately before reuse or further use and is therefore particularly freshly prepared in the subsequent phase is initiated.
- the filter phase can preferably be carried out in almost every, preferably every interruption of the washing and / or rinsing phase.
- FIG. 4 is a schematic view of a household appliance 1 for treating laundry with a circulation principle.
- This is a schematic interior view of a dryer B, with individual components of the dryer being shown in a very simplified manner.
- the household appliance 1 in Fig. 4 also comprises a receptacle 31 for laundry.
- the dryer B further comprises a filter unit 33 which is arranged in a recirculation circuit of a recirculation unit 35.
- the predominant fluid flowing during the drying process is air. This can contain moisture particles or be vaporous.
- the fluid is fed from the receptacle 31 through a discharge opening 36 into a discharge line 36a and pumped through the filter unit 33 by means of a pump unit 37.
- dust particles and / or fibers that detach from the laundry during the drying process are released from the fluid.
- the fluid is pumped back into the receiving container 31 via at least one recirculation line 39 via a feed opening 40.
- the discharge opening 36 is thus fluidly connected to the supply opening 40. Furthermore, a storage element 45 can be connected downstream of the filter unit 33. Analogously to the storage element 29, the filtered fluid is also stored in the storage element 45 for a new or further drying process. If it is no longer required, the fluid can be removed from the drying process via a drain line 44.
- the pump unit 37 is controlled via a control unit 41.
- the control unit 41 controls likewise a drive unit 43, the drive unit 43 driving the receptacle 31.
- the pump unit 37 comprises at least one pump 38a and one pump drive 38b.
- a drying process essentially comprises at least one spin phase and at least one drying phase.
- the laundry contained in the receptacle 31 releases moisture. This moisture is pumped out of the receptacle 31 of the dryer B via a discharge opening 36.
- warm air usually gets into the receptacle 31 in order to dry the damp laundry.
- fibers detach from the laundry. Similar to the waking process, these fibers must be removed from the drying process. The fibers as well as the air, which contains moisture particles, is pumped through the filter unit 33.
- the receptacle 31 is in a rest position during a filter phase in the drying process.
- a filter phase can preferably take place after a spinning and / or drying phase, preferably after almost every, preferably after every spinning and / or drying phase. It is also conceivable here that the filter phase takes place before the spinning and / or drying phase, preferably before almost every, preferably before each spinning and / or drying phase.
- the filter phase can also take place in an interruption of the drying process, preferably in almost every interruption, preferably in every interruption.
- the fluid After flowing through the filter unit 27, 33, it is conceivable in both the cleaning process and the drying process that the fluid is either in the drain line 25, 44, insofar as there is one, or in a recirculation line 15, 43, which is arranged in the recirculation unit 10, 35 is being pumped.
- the recirculation line 15, 43 directs the fluid back into the receiving container 31 and is used there for the continuation of the cleaning or drying process. If the fluid is no longer required for the currently running cleaning or drying process or if the cleaning or drying process has already ended, the fluid can be stored in a storage element 29, 45 for a new drying process or can be temporarily stored.
- a recirculation unit 10, 35 requires less fluid for a cleaning or drying process, since the already existing fluid, that is to say the fluid already in the cleaning or drying process, is filtered and then pumped back into the cleaning or drying process becomes. With a washing machine A, this means less water and / or detergent consumption. With a dryer B, for example, less warm or hot process air has to be generated, which saves energy costs.
- the cleaning process for a washing machine A is started, water and a mixture of water and detergent flows into the container and wets the laundry there. With pumping systems, the laundry can be wetted several times. It is also conceivable that a filter phase already takes place after several wetting phases. The washing phase is coupled after the wetting phase. The receptacle 11 rotates so that the laundry is circulated repeatedly. In addition to the dust and dirt particles, this process also removes fibers from the laundry.
- a filter phase can advantageously be carried out after a washing phase, after almost every washing phase or after each washing phase, in order to remove the fibers from the cleaning process.
- the wash liquor flows through the discharge opening 14 from the suds container 12 into the discharge line 14a.
- the pump unit 16 pumps the wash liquor to or through the filter unit 27, in which, among other things, the fibers are filtered out of the wash liquor.
- the wash liquor is then either pumped into the storage element 29 and stored there until it is required for the current or a further cleaning process.
- the wash liquor returns via the recirculation unit 10 into the receiving container 11 or into the suds container 12. If the wash liquor is no longer suitable for further use for various reasons, it can also be pumped into the drain line 25 after it has passed through the filter unit 27.
- the receptacle 11 Before the filter phase takes place, the receptacle 11 must be stopped so that it is in a rest position, ie the receptacle 11 no longer moves. Now it is the case that the receptacle 11 moves in the upstream phase, here the washing phase. Abrupt braking, as in a comparative blender that essentially moves into two positions "on” or “off”, should be avoided, since this will detach further fibers from the laundry, as already described in detail above. It is therefore advantageous if the receptacle 11 is braked along a predetermined braking curve according to a predeterminable reduction in speed. The slower the braking, the less fibers are released from the laundry.
- the moist laundry is circulated in the receptacle 31 and subjected to warm air, process air.
- Fibers from the laundry The mixture of moist air and fibers is pumped out of the receptacle 31 and pumped to the filter unit 33. There, the mixture of moist air and fibers is filtered and can either be used further in the same way as the cleaning process described above or can be pumped into the drain line 44. For further use it is necessary that the moisture is extracted from the air or the air is dried.
- a filter phase advantageously takes place after one of the above-mentioned phases of the cleaning or drying process. However, it is also conceivable that the filter phase takes place after almost every phase or after every phase of the cleaning or drying process.
