Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a device for washing economically and ecologically garments or dishes, which comprises hydraulic, electric and electronic components, and is able to be connected to a hydraulic plant in which hot and cold domestic water circulates in order to feed a washing electric appliance, such as a washing machine or a dishwasher, domestic or industrial.
  • a washing electric appliance such as a washing machine or a dishwasher
  • the device according to the invention is able to be connected to a water loading tube of the electric appliance, so as to use the hot domestic water when the washing program of the appliance requires the water to be heated, for example to a temperature of more than 30°C.
  • washing appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers, domestic or industrial, take the cold water for washing directly from a hydraulic plant, and then heat it inside them according to the pre-set washing program.
  • the cold water is normally heated electrically by means of a resistance housed in a collection tank provided inside the appliance.
  • Purpose of the present invention is to achieve a device that is simple and economical to make, easily installed or integrated into plants already present, and which allows to reduce or cancel energy consumption of the appliance due to heating the water.
  • the Applicant has devised, tested and embodied the present invention to overcome the shortcomings of the state of the art and to obtain these and other purposes and advantages.
  • a device comprises a hydraulic unit able to be connected on one side to respective hot water and cold water pipes of a hydraulic plant and, on the other side, to an appliance which is to be fed with the water, such as a washing machine, a dishwasher or suchlike.
  • the hydraulic unit comprises at least mixing means able to selectively mix the hot water and the cold water upstream of the feed to the appliance.
  • the device according to the invention also comprises an electronic unit disposed in cooperation with the hydraulic unit and comprising at least a programmed or selectively programmable command unit.
  • the command unit is able to command the mixing means in order to selectively modulate the mixing of the water, according to the programming data set in said unit.
  • water is supplied to the appliance already heated to different and specific temperatures, using the hot water arriving from the hydraulic plant.
  • This reduction in consumption also promotes a reduction in the environmental impact for the production of electric energy.
  • the device according to the invention comprises a container of limited size, inside which both the hydraulic unit and the electronic unit are disposed.
  • the device according to the invention is easily and conveniently installed in domestic environments too, or in limited spaces, for example under a sink, etc.
  • the electronic unit also comprises an interface unit able to allow a user to interact with the command unit in order to effect the selective manual programming thereof.
  • the electronic unit comprises a connection unit able to detect the programming parameters of the appliance and to import them into the command unit so as to provide an automatic regulation of the mixing according to the program being used in the appliance.
  • a device 10 according to the present invention is applied to washing appliances, such as washing machines, dishwashers or suchlike, to allow to wash garments or dishes economically and ecologically.
  • the device 10 comprises a box-like container 11, inside which a hydraulic unit 12 and an electronic unit 13 are disposed in cooperation with each other.
  • the box-like container 11 is made of metal material and has sizes equal to about 220 mm in height, 165 mm in width and 90 mm in thickness.
  • the box-like container 11 comprises a lid, of a substantially known type and not shown in the drawings, which allows selective access inside the box-like container 11.
  • the lid can be provided with washers able to allow an airtight positioning thereof on the box-like container 11.
  • the container comprises attachment means to attach it to a wall, such as flukes, fins or other of a substantially known type.
  • the hydraulic unit 12 is disposed inside the box-like container 11 and in this case comprises (fig. 2):
  • the electronic unit 13 is disposed inside the box-like container 11 in cooperation with the hydraulic unit 12 and in this case comprises (figs. 1 and 3):
  • the electronic command card 31 substantially consists in this case of seven electric circuits (fig. 4), each having the following functions:
  • the electronic card 31 has a state-of-machine memory, and every time the device 10 is switched on, it will recall the program previously set. This allows the user to limit operations on the device 10 to switching on and off only, if he/she always does the washing in the same way.
  • the operating procedures reported here refer to the case where the device 10 is applied to a washing machine.
  • the first operating procedure refers to the case where the washing machine is set with a pre-wash program.
  • the device 10 is switched on by pressing the button 35.
  • the button 35 lights up, for example red, to signal that the device 10 is actually switched on.
  • the electronic card 31 commands the following configuration n° 1:
  • the electronic card 31 commands the following configuration n° 2:
  • the pre-wash program is selected by pressing the button 33 until the LED 37 lights up.
  • the device 10 will be in said configuration n° 1.
  • the electronic card 31 commands the following configuration n° 4:
  • the electronic card 31 When the washing machine is loaded with water for the second time, the electronic card 31 will maintain the device 10 in configuration n° 4.
  • the device 10 also comprises button 36 which allows a configuration of the device 10 to feed water for a program to wash delicate garments.
  • the button 36 lights up, for example orange, to signal that the program has actually been set.
  • the electronic card 31 commands that, during the first two loads of water, hot water and cold water, therefore luke-warm, simultaneously flow into the washing machine.
  • the electronic card 31 After the second load of water into the washing machine, and for all subsequent loads, the electronic card 31 commands configuration n° 2 of the device 10.
  • the second operating procedure concerns the case where the washing machine is set with a washing program.
  • the device 10 is switched on by pressing the button 35.
  • the button 35 lights up, for example red, to signal that the device 10 is actually switched on.
  • the electronic card 31 commands configuration n° 1.
  • the electronic card 31 commands configuration n° 2.
  • the wash program is selected by pressing the button 33 until the LED 39 lights up.
  • the device 10 will be in configuration n° 1.
  • the contacts of the flow sensor 21 close, sending a signal to the electronic card 31 which, during the first loading of water into the washing machine, and for a time of about 60 seconds, commands configuration n° 3, to discharge the initially cold water arriving from the domestic hot water distribution system.
  • the electronic card 31 commands configuration n° 4, so as to make the hot domestic water flow into the washing machine.
  • the cold water electro valve 27 is also commanded to open, so that, during the first loading of water, both hot water and cold water, therefore luke-warm, flow simultaneously into the washing machine.
  • the electronic card 31 After the first load of water into the washing machine, and for all subsequent loads, the electronic card 31 commands configuration n° 2.
  • the third operating procedure concerns the case where the washing machine is set to do a cold wash program.
  • the device 10 is switched on by pressing the button 35.
  • the button 35 lights up, for example red, to signal that the device 10 is actually switched on.
  • the electronic card 31 commands configuration n° 1.
  • the electronic card 31 commands configuration n° 2.
  • the cold wash program is selected by pressing the button 33 until the LED 39 lights up.
  • the device 10 will be in configuration n° 2.
  • the electronic unit 13 is provided with a connection unit, connected via cable, or wireless, to the appliance, in order to detect the programming parameters of the appliance and to import them into the command unit 31. In this way it is possible to provide an automatic regulation of the mixing of the water, according to the program in use in the appliance.
