Description
Vorrichtung zum Glätten von Wäsche Device for smoothing laundry
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Haushaltsgerät zum Glätten von Wäsche, umfassend eine Vorrichtung zum Erwärmen von Wasser, wobei die Vorrichtung wenigstens einen Wassertank, ein Heizelement, einen Wasserzulauf, sowie einen Dampfaustritt um- fasst.The present invention relates to a household appliance for straightening laundry, comprising a device for heating water, the device comprising at least one water tank, a heating element, a water inlet, and a steam outlet.
Haushaltsgeräte zum Glätten von Wäsche sind im Stand der Technik bekannt. Dabei werden die meisten Vorrichtungen zum Glätten von Wäsche unter Verwendung von heißem Wasserdampf eingesetzt. Hierzu wird Wasser in einem Wassertank bereitgehalten und durch ein Heizelement erhitzt. Der entstehende Wasserdampf verlässt die Vorrichtung über Öffnungen an der Unterseite und durchdringt das Bügelgut. Alle Vorrichtungen zum Glätten von Wäsche, die mit Dampf arbeiten, weisen den Nachteil auf, dass sie zum Verkalken neigen. Dies tritt insbesondere an den Stellen auf, die stark erwärmt werden, wie das Heizelement, sowie an Stellen, die sich verengen und von Wasser durchströmt werden.Domestic appliances for straightening laundry are known in the art. Most devices are used to smooth laundry using hot steam. For this purpose, water is kept in a water tank and heated by a heating element. The resulting water vapor leaves the device through openings at the bottom and penetrates the ironing material. All devices for smoothing laundry that work with steam have the disadvantage that they tend to calcify. This occurs in particular at the points that are heated strongly, such as the heating element, as well as in places that narrow and are traversed by water.
Hiervon ausgehend ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Vorrichtung zum Glätten von Wäsche zur Verfügung zu stellen, die die genannte Kalkproblematik reduziert oder vermeidet.On this basis, it is an object of the present invention to provide a device for smoothing laundry available, which reduces or avoids the mentioned Kalkproblematik.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch ein Haushaltsgerät zum Glätten von Wäsche mit den Merkmalen gemäß Patentanspruch 1. Vorteilhafte Aus- und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung, welche einzeln oder in Kombination miteinander eingesetzt werden können, sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.This object is achieved by a household appliance for smoothing laundry with the features according to claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention, which can be used individually or in combination with each other, are the subject of the dependent claims.
Das erfindungsgemäße Haushaltsgerät zum Glätten von Wäsche baut auf gattungsgemäßen Haushaltsgeräten dadurch auf, dass der Wasserzulauf Kunststoff umfasst. Dadurch wird ein gegenüber dem Stand der Technik deutlich verbesserter Kalkschutz erzielt. Es konnte nämlich überraschenderweise gezeigt werden, dass ein Wasserzulauf, der eine Kunststoffoberfläche aufweist, erheblich weniger oder gar nicht zur Verkalkung neigt.
Von Vorteil ist es dabei, wenn der Kunststoff Silikon umfasst. Vorteilhaft ist auch die Verwendung anderer Kunststoffe wie z.B. von halogeniertem Polyethylen, insbesondre Po- lytrifluorchlorethylen oder Polytetrafluorethylen, von Polyvinylcarbazol, Polyacrylnitril, Phenolformaldehydharz, Silikonharz, chloriertem Polyether oder höheren Polyolefinen, wie z.B. Polypropylen, Polyvinylidenchlorid oder Polyisobutylen. Diese Kunststoffe weisen zudem den Vorteil auf, dass die stark wärmedämmend und von hoher Temperaturbeständigkeit sind.The household appliance according to the invention for straightening laundry builds on generic household appliances in that the water inlet comprises plastic. As a result, over the prior art significantly improved scale protection is achieved. It could be surprisingly shown that a water supply having a plastic surface, significantly less or not at all tends to calcification. It is advantageous if the plastic comprises silicone. Also advantageous is the use of other plastics such as halogenated polyethylene, in particular polytrifluorochloroethylene or polytetrafluoroethylene, of polyvinylcarbazole, polyacrylonitrile, phenolformaldehyde resin, silicone resin, chlorinated polyether or higher polyolefins, such as polypropylene, polyvinylidene chloride or polyisobutylene. These plastics also have the advantage that they are highly thermally insulating and high temperature resistance.
Als besonders vorteilhaft hat sich erwiesen, wenn der Wasserzulauf ein metallisches Zulaufrohr umfasst, welches an seiner Innenseite eine Kunststoffbeschichtung umfasst. Die- se bevorzugte Ausführungsform weist den Vorteil auf, dass einerseits die Vorzüge eines metallischen Zulaufrohrs genutzt werden können, die z. B. darin bestehen, dass metallische Zulaufrohre eine hohe Stabilität aufweisen, und kostengünstig in großer Form und Vielfalt hergestellt werden können. Dadurch, dass hierbei das metallische Zulaufrohr auf der Innenseite eine Kunststoffbeschichtung umfasst, können die Vorzüge des metalli- sehen Zulaufrohrs mit einem vorteilhaftem Kalkschutz der Kunststoffbeschichtung kombiniert werden.It has proven to be particularly advantageous if the water inlet comprises a metallic inlet tube which comprises a plastic coating on its inside. This preferred embodiment has the advantage that, on the one hand, the advantages of a metallic inlet tube can be used, which are, for. Example, consist in that metallic inlet pipes have a high stability, and can be produced inexpensively in great shape and diversity. The fact that in this case the metallic inlet pipe comprises a plastic coating on the inside, the advantages of the metallic inlet pipe can be combined with an advantageous limescale protection of the plastic coating.
Von besonderem Vorteil ist es dabei, wenn das Haushaltsgerät zum Glätten von Wäsche eine Dampfstation ist. Diese Geräte neigen erfahrungsgemäß sehr stark zum Verkalken, weil in ihnen häufig größere Mengen von Wasser erhitzt werden, um Dampf zu erzeugen. Ein chemisches Entkalken von Bügeleisen oder Dampfstationen ist äußerst problematisch, weil durch die Verwendung von Säure innere Beschichtungen zerstört werden können. Verwendung von völlig kalkfreiem Wasser ist ebenfalls problematisch, da auch dies innere Beschichtungen zerstören kann. Somit muss eine Mischung aus destilliertem Was- ser und Leitungswasser gewählt werden. Die aufgezeigte Kalkproblematik wird in diesen Geräten durch die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung in vorteilhafter weise realisiert.It is particularly advantageous if the household appliance for smoothing laundry is a steam station. These devices have been shown to be very susceptible to calcification because they often heat larger quantities of water to produce steam. A chemical descaling of irons or steam stations is extremely problematic because the use of acid can destroy internal coatings. Use of completely lime-free water is also problematic since this too can destroy internal coatings. Thus, a mixture of distilled water and tap water must be chosen. The indicated Kalkproblematik is realized in these devices by the device according to the invention in an advantageous manner.
Durch das erfindungsgemäße Haushaltsgerät zum Glätten von Wäsche wird ein gegenüber dem Stand der Technik deutlich verbesserter Kalkschutz bei gleichzeitig vergrößerter Gestaltungsfreiheit erzielt.
Weitere Vorteile und Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung werden im Folgenden anhand von zwei Ausführungsbeispielen sowie unter Bezugnahme auf die beiliegenden Zeichnungen erläutert.By means of the household appliance according to the invention for straightening laundry, a limescale protection which is significantly improved over the prior art is achieved while at the same time providing greater freedom of design. Further advantages and embodiments of the invention are explained below with reference to two exemplary embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.
