Abstract:
A washing machine comprising: a washing tub (10) wherein a rotatably drum (20) is mounted, adapted to contain garments to be washed, a washing fluid comprising water and one or more detergent substances to be delivered into the tub (10) and the drum (20); an outlet conduit (40) connected, through its end portion (50), to the tub (10) for conveying the washing fluid outside of the tub (10); a recirculation circuit (60) comprising a first conduit (61), a recirculation pump (62) and a second, conduit (63), wherein: the first conduit (61) connecting the end portion (50) of the outlet conduit (40) to the recirculation pump (62); the second conduit (63) allowing a connection between the recirculation pump (62) and the tub (10); the recirculation pump (62) is configured to draw the fluid from the tub (10) through the first conduit (61) and to feed the fluid back in the tub (10) through the second conduit ( 63 ).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for scenting laundry (20) boused inside a drum ( 11 ) of a machine ( 10.10' ) fur treating laundry (20), wherein said machine comprises a tub ( ! 2) that houses the drum (11). and wherein the laundry is subjected to the action of a scent agent, the method comprising the step of delivering the scent agent onto the laundry by means of steam. I he present invention also relates to a scent agent dispenser ( 1 ) adapted lo be placed into a rotary drum (11) of a machine ( 10. 10" ) for treating laundry (20), in particular a washing or washing/drying machine, said dispenser comprising a casing which defines n cavity that houses at least one absorbing element (4) adapted to be imbibed with a liquid scent agent, and comprising one or more holes (5) in the easing through which the scent agent Ls put in contact with the outside of the cavity, (hu.s delivering the scent agent, wherein said casing is made of polypropylene loaded with calcium carbonate in a variable percentage m weight between 30% and 50%, in particular of 40%. and wherein the absorbing element (4) ts made of foam polyurethane or sponge, so that the dispenser (1) can be used in a drum of a washing or washing/drying machine ( 10, 10") during a step of treating laundry (20) by means of steam (20). The present invention further relates to a kit and a combination comprising such a dispenser and a vvashing or washing/drying machine.
Abstract:
A method for drying laundry placed in a rotating drum (2) of a household drying appliance (1), said drum (2) comprising: i) a front part (21) that faces a door (3) of the household appliance (1), when said door is set in a closed position; ii) a base (22) opposite said front part (21); iii) a side wall (23) that encloses an axis of rotation of the drum (2). The method comprises the stage of carrying out a drying process (B) for drying the laundry which implements a procedure that is repeatedly carried out and, in turn, comprises the stages of: -directing a flow of air inside the drum (2) through an opening (20) in the drum (2), said opening (20) being located in said front part (21) or in said base (22) of the drum (2); -rotating said drum (2) at a first speed of rotation so as to push the laundry items towards the side wall (23) of the drum (2) and facilitate entry of the air into a central zone (24) of the drum (2); -rotating said drum (2) at a second speed of rotation that is higher than the first speed of rotation, so as to push the laundry items towards the side wall (23) of the drum (2) more energetically than in the stage of rotating the drum (2) at the first speed of rotation, this making it possible to improve the entry of the air in the central zone (24) of the drum (2); -rotating said drum (2) at a third speed of rotation, said third speed of rotation being lower than the first speed of rotation, so as to make it possible to dry the laundry items located at said opening (20) in the drum (2). The stage of directing a flow of air inside the drum (2) takes place, at least in part, at the same time as the stage of rotating said drum (2) at the first, the second and the third speed of rotation.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for controlling operating parameters in a condensation-type clothes dryer or washing/drying machine, as well as to a clothes dryer or washing/drying machine using said method. In particular, a pressure sensor installed in the well that collects the condensed water measures the pressure of the fluid, i.e. water or air, depending on whether the well is full or empty. The method controls the time intervals for activating the well drain pump and generates alarms indicating the machine status for signalling that the tray must be emptied and/or an air filter must be cleaned in accordance with the pressure value detected.
