Embodiment Construction

[0059] exist figure 1 The washing machine 1 is shown in schematic section in FIG. The washing machine 1 includes a housing 2 and a drum unit 3 . The drum unit 3 has a cup-shaped tub 4 and a cylindrical drum 5 . The drum 5 is supported rotatably about a cylinder axis (hereinafter referred to as drum axis 6 ) in the tub 4 . On one of the end faces of the drum, the drum 4 has a drum opening 7 and the drum 5 has a drum opening 8 . The tub opening 7 and the drum opening 8 at least partially cover each other and here form the loading and unloading opening 9 of the drum unit 3 . It is used to load laundry into the drum 5 or to unload them from the drum 5 . Furthermore, the drum unit 3 is articulated in the housing 2 in a pivotable manner about a pivot axis 10 .

[0060] The tub 4 contains water or so-called "wash liquor" (a mixture of water and additives, often detergents) when the washing machine 1 is in operation. The drum 5 has recesses (not shown in detail) in its circumfer...

Abstract

A washing machine has a housing and a drum unit with a cup-like tub and a cylindrical drum, which is rotatably mounted in the tub about its cylinder axis. The tub and the drum open out at the end face in a loading and unloading opening of the drum unit. The drum unit can be tilted about a tilt axis that is perpendicular to the cylinder axis, between a loading and unloading position, wherein the loading and unloading opening points obliquely upward, and a wash position for a wash cycle. The housing has a displaceable front wall coupled with the drum unit. The front wall is formed with a breakthrough that covers the loading and unloading opening of the drum unit, and a door is articularted on the front wall for closing both the breakthrough and the loading and unoading opening. According to the method, at the launch of a wash program sequence, the drum unit is tipped from the loading and unloading position into the wash position.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a washing machine, especially a washing machine for personal household use. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for operating such a washing machine. Background technique [0002] Washing machines generally have a cylindrical drum that is mounted rotatably about its drum axis in a tub that is often cup-shaped. When the washing machine is in operation, laundry to be cleaned is arranged in the drum. Apart from the loading and unloading openings (which are often arranged on the front sides of the drum), the tub surrounds the drum here. When the washing machine is in operation, the loading and unloading opening is closed by means of a door. [0003] During operation, a washing program sequence, often with several program steps (also referred to as "courses"), is carried out by the washing machine. Thus, in the program step known as the washing process, the tub and the drum are partially filled with so-called "wash li...
