Abstract

Washing system for textile products and device for the implementation of the same, whose system consists of adding to the classic washing parameters, the pressure of pressurized water inside the drum of the washing machine with the aid of a motor pump unit ( 2) of high pressure, which takes water from the outlet (4) of said drum, through a filter (8) and which drives it through a high-pressure hose (9) towards a series of injectors (13) located in a collector-distributor (10) that is located in correspondence with the door of the washing machine.

Description

Washing system for textile products and device for the implementation of it.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a new washing system for textile products, commonly called "clothing", a system preferably applicable to industrial washing machines, but whose application can be made Extensive to any other type of washing machines.

The main object of the invention is introduce pressure water into the wash cycle, which will determine that the fibers of the fabric to be washed open, achieving a Greater cleaning and less water consumption.

The invention thus falls within the scope of the machinery for washing clothes, both industrial and domestic.

Background of the invention

As is known, current washing systems Automatic clothing base their effectiveness on a series of parameters that, from an immersion in water, they consist of an action mechanical rotation of the drum of the washing machine, in a given working temperature, in a scheduled time, and in the contribution of the complementary detergents, so that each of these parameters directly influence the results of the corresponding washing operation.

Depending on the amount of clothes to be washed, the amount of water to use is decisive, and the rest of the parameters depend on this amount of water, since the higher be the same, the greater the amount of detergent that is precise to incorporate to the water and greater the time of wash.

On the other hand, the lack of water, as well as the problem of environmental pollution that supposes the elimination of the residual water of washing - carrier of the detergents used - as well as the contamination that the production of the energy necessary for washing.

Although the works of research in the line of reducing water consumption in washing machines, the results obtained to date are very little satisfactory, especially in the field of washing machines industrial, where the aforementioned problem is of greater  intensity.

Description of the invention

The washing system that the invention proposes It constitutes a remarkable technical advance in this field, allowing a drastic reduction in the volume of water to consume in each wash, with the consequent and beneficial contribution in the rest of the parameters, that is, with a lower energy consumption, a lower detergent consumption and a considerable decrease in spills of water contaminated by detergent.

To do this - and more specifically the system which is recommended - maintaining conventional action techniques Mechanical rotation of the washing machine drum, the use of hot water and the incorporation of detergents appropriate, focuses its characteristics on the incorporation into the cycle of pressure water washing, so that the fibers are achieved of the tissue open, considerably facilitating the release of inlays or stains, so that with an amount of water  considerably the same results are achieved as with conventional washing systems.

This drastic limitation of water consumption It is also determined by the fact that the washing system pressure allows to dispense with the classic prewash phase or soak, as well as eliminate some rinsing.

Finally note that the reduction of all cited factors or parameters also entails a shortening in washing times, resulting in greater machine productivity

For the implementation of this system it has been planned incorporation into the washing machine in question a high pressure motor pump group that feeds a series of properly placed injector-diffusers and oriented to cover the largest indoor spray surface  of the hype.

In this sense the diffuser injectors will preferably be housed in the door of the washing machine by means of a housing diameter coinciding with the glass of said door, where they go embedded to avoid rubbing with clothes, relating said injectors with the motor pump group through a high hose pressure, and taking said motor pump the water from the bottom of the drum of the washing machine by passing it through a filter impurities to prevent clogging of the injectors.

Water filling of the washing machine can be carried also carried out using the pressure group itself, and by Mediation of a solenoid valve.

Optionally, the system can incorporate a self-washable filter that through a solenoid valve reverses the direction of water flow and sends the impurities to the drain.

The injectors will be properly located in a distributor, which is the one that is housed in the door frame of the washing machine.

Due to the small size of the device, the it may preferably be mounted as standard within the washing machine, or go outside as a unit autonomous.

Description of the drawings

To complete the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows, according to a representation schematic in perspective, a clothes washer equipped with the system wash that is the object of the present invention.

Figure 2.- Sample, also according to a schematic representation in perspective, the washing system of the invention, duly isolated, next to the one represented the drain solenoid valve of the washing machine drum, to show The machine system connection.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can be observed as, maintaining the basic general structure of any conventional washing machine, the system of the invention is based in incorporating said washing machine (1) of a motor pump group of high pressure (2), which draws water from a sleeve (3) drain duct (4) of the drum (5) of the washing machine located in the lower area of the same, more specifically immediately before from the drain pump (6) to the drain (7) -, sleeve (3) which is complemented by a second sleeve (3 '), being established between both sleeves (3 and 3 ') a filter of sediments (8) that eliminates impurities that may exist in the water from the drum (5) of the washing machine, ensuring the arrival of water clean the high pressure motor pump group (2).

This motor pump group (2) and through a high pressure hose (9) supplies water to a manifold-distributor (10) intended to be located in the interior of the drum (5), specifically at the level of its door (11), immediately inside it, fixation that can be taken to carried out with the collaboration of a perimeter plate (12) or by any other means deemed convenient, incorporating any case said distributor manifold (10) a plurality of injectors (13) oriented towards the inside of the form drum more suitable to achieve optimal diffusion of pressurized water affecting the maximum spray surface.

The aforementioned effect on the material textile pressure water, and the sponge of the fibers of fabric, makes the detachment of the spots look remarkably favored, which allows as previously said using a considerable amount of water minor, with the consequent impact on the level of consumption energy, detergent, etc.
