1 TARIFF A FILTRATION SYSTEM DEVELOPED FOR USE IN HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES. SYSTEM This invention is designed for use in household appliances and filters circulating water. It relates to a filtering system that includes multiple filters. The laundry in the washer and washer-dryer is fed with detergent water during washing. The drum is placed inside the boiler and rotated at variable speeds. It is washed inside. During the washing process, it is exposed to both mechanical and chemical effects. The fibers separated from the remaining laundry are washed away with the water discharged at the end of the washing process. The wastewater is discharged from the line to which the machine is connected. Separating lint and microfibers detached from textile products from wastewater using a filter device. This is known in the field of technology, especially for cleanable filter cartridges or disposable filter cartridges. Systems that include these are available in technology. In these systems, the solid waste that is intended to be filtered Filter elements with different pore openings suitable for the size are used. 15 After the filtration step, the textile fibers, detergent residue, dirt, and other waste are removed. It can accumulate on the surface of the filter. As the amount of accumulation increases, the active filtration area decreases. and the time required for the filtration process increases. These residues accumulate to a certain level. After reaching this point, the filtration process comes to a standstill. The active surface of the filter If the filter cartridge becomes clogged due to accumulations, its internal volume effectively remains at 20. It is not usable. It is only for cleaning the filter cartridge whose active surface area is full. The customer may frequently have to remove the filter from its location and clean it. Less Replacing a filter whose surfaces are clogged with a large amount of solid waste also releases plastic waste. Using clean water to wash the filter surface increases the filter's lifespan. On the other hand, it causes an increase in the amount of water used. The amount of water used is 25%. Increasing it does not offer an environmentally friendly solution either. An example of the prior art is the Turkish patent application TR 2019 / 20840. This can be shown. In the application in question, a drawer and a drawer placed inside the nest. located on it, a water inlet opening connected to the circulation line, and fibers in the water 2 a washing machine with a filter box that has at least one filter to ensure filtration It is explained. The purpose of this invention is to remove water that accumulates on the filter's upper surface without the need to draw water from the mains supply. particles are removed from the surface in each washing step, thus extending the filter's lifespan and The goal is to obtain a home appliance with effective filtration that extends its lifespan. 5 The subject of the invention is a household appliance; a housing, a tank located inside the housing, and a compartment inside the tank. a drum located inside the body, suitable for placing laundry inside, a circulation system that ensures the water taken from the boiler circulates through a circulation line a pre-filtered system with a water inlet area connected to a pump and circulation line. a primary filter and a secondary filter that filters out fibers from the water after the primary filter 10 It includes. The subject of the invention is a household appliance that advantageously processes the dirty water coming out of the primary filter. A primary line that allows the water coming from the primary filter to be transferred to the secondary filter; clean water from the primary filter to the secondary filter. a second line that allows the water to be transferred to the filter; the second line through which clean water passes is connected and allows water to be sprayed from multiple points onto the secondary filter below. a washing head; and the transfer of the water, which has been filtered through the secondary filter, back to the boiler. 15 It includes a third line that provides cleaning of the second filter surface with clean water. This prevents the filter surface from filling up from the inside before the filter itself, thus extending the filter's lifespan. It is extended. Because clean water from the first filter is used, it is also used in washing programs. The amount of water used will not change. Also, washing is done without taking water from the mains. No additional valve or pump is needed. 20 In one application of the invention, a housing and a filtering device are used within that housing. It includes a primary filter with a filter section. The filter section traps solid particles. This is achieved by using two filter structures, which traps microfibers and similar solid waste. Capacity is increased and filter lifespan and / or cleaning time is extended. In one application of the invention, a series of 25 units are placed in a straight line, inclined according to the direction of water flow. The filter section has a filter protrusion. The filter protrusions are relative to each other. The position affects the filtration performance. Parallel or cross arrangement of water flow. The filtering performance is checked by changing the order of the filter protrusions. The number and aperture of filters can be changed to alter the filtering performance. This allows for the desired result. The filtration capacity can be adjusted by adjusting the filtration protrusions. 30 3 In one application of the invention, a water inlet area is connected to a circulation line at one end, and the other end... At one end, the water inside the casing passes through without being filtered, connected to the first line. the water outlet area and the second stage where the water passes after filtration within the housing. It includes a primary filter with a second water outlet connected to the line. The first water outlet This area is where water containing more solid particles exits, and the second water outlet area is 5. This is where the water, which contains fewer solid particles after filtration, exits. This ensures that both the dirty water and the water itself are treated properly. Relatively clean water is also separated and can be used to clean the secondary filter. In one application of the invention, the water in the circulation line initially reaches a primary chamber. It has a second chamber filled with water that has been largely purified from solid waste, and it connects the first chamber with the second chamber. The primary filter has a filter section that separates the second chamber. The invention is a 10 In this application, the volume of the first room and the second room can be equal, or they can have different configurations. They can also be selected in different sizes. With a two-chamber design, the water can be separated into dirty and clean sections. Separation is ensured, and the desired filtering feature is achieved by adjusting the volume in the rooms. It can be selected. In one application of the invention, 15 devices are configured to be attached to and removed from a detergent dispenser. A secondary filter is included. The secondary filter can be inserted into and removed from its slot inside the detergent dispenser. Because it can be positioned in this way, the user can remove the secondary filter from its slot whenever desired. You can remove it for cleaning or replace it with a new one. In one application of the invention, a certain distance will be maintained between the secondary filter and the invention. deployed, clean water from the second line passes through multiple points to the secondary filter 20 It has a washing head that allows for spraying. Thanks to the washing head, secondary The filter's outer surface in particular is cleaned. This ensures that the outer surface of the secondary filter is also cleaned. This prevents the filter section from becoming clogged with solid particles. Filtering and washing. Since both steps are performed simultaneously, the usage time of the programs remains unchanged. In one application of the invention, the base surface of the washing head facing the secondary filter is 25 There are a number of deployed spray nozzles. Thanks to these spray nozzles... This ensures effective cleaning of the secondary filter, especially when the water comes from a line. After being dispersed inside the washing head, the solution is sprayed out thanks to these nozzles. In one application of the invention, only the clean water coming from the second line during the rinsing step Second line 30 controls the water flow so that it is directed to the washing head. 4 It has a diverter valve located on it. This allows for rinsing only. In this step, the water is directed to clean the filter. Thus, rinsing is performed. Filtration takes place up to the rinsing step, and only less solids are removed during the rinsing step. Cleaning is achieved by using water with particles. In one application of the invention, the filtered water is discharged after the filtration process is complete. 5 a drain pump that will enable this and a drain line connected to this drain pump It is located there. Thus, the filtered water coming from the circulation line can be used whenever desired. The discharge is ensured from the household appliance. The subject matter of the invention is a household appliance such as a washing machine, dryer, or washer / dryer. Available. 10 The household appliance created to achieve the purpose of this invention is shown in the attached document; Figure 1 is a schematic showing the filtering steps in a household appliance according to an application of the invention.

Primary filter (8) and secondary filter (12) It forms a filtration system that enables the water in the pipeline to be filtered. Referring to Figure 1, the device that enables the dirty water coming out of the primary filter (8) to be transferred to the secondary filter (12). 20 transfer of clean water from a first line (9) and primary filter (8) to secondary filter (12) There is a second line (10) that provides. As can be seen better in Figure 6, The second line (10) through which clean water passes is connected to the secondary filter (12) below it. a washing head that allows water to be sprayed from multiple points (11) There is clean water coming from this washing nozzle (11) and dirty water coming from the first line (9). It is filtered by passing through a secondary filter (12) and this filtered water is again passed through a third line (13) 25 It is transferred to the boiler (2). The third line (13) is especially for a detergent box (16) inside. the water passing through the secondary filter (12) in the housing is fed back into the boiler (2) It provides. From here, the water is given back to the circulation line (7) by the circulation pump (5). It passes through the circulation valve (6) into the drum (1) or to the primary filter (8). Circulation 7 Circulating water directed to the drum (1) by valve (6) is also passed through drum nozzle(s) (61). The water is transferred into the drum (1). The circulation valve (6) controls the flow in the circulation line (7). by directing the water to the filtration system for filtration when needed. while providing, directing the laundry to the drum nozzle (61) when necessary for washing It transfers the necessary water. The second line (10) is directly connected to the washing head (11) 5 as well as the washing head (11) and the detergent box (16) are washed It may be connected to a sprinkler cover. An integrated extension of the sprinkler cover is secondary. You can form the washing head (11) so that the filter (12) is located on it. Rain cover It can also extend over the detergent dispenser. Referring to Figure 3; the primary filter (8) is a housing that forms the main body of the primary filter (8) 10 (81) and this housing (81) contains a filter section (85) that performs filtration. Within the enclosure (81), preferably sloped in the direction of water flow, at the same level There is a filter array projection (851). The primary filter (8) also has a circulation at one end. a water inlet area (82) connected to the line (7), water inside the containment (81) at the other end a first water outlet area (83) connected to the first line (9) where it has passed through sufficient filtration 15 and the second line (10) through which the water inside the housing (81) passes after filtration is completed It includes a second water outlet area (84) connected to it. Thus, the incoming water is separated. is provided. A primary chamber (86) in which solid waste is located and water first reaches the primary filter (8) a second chamber filled with clean water that is almost free of solid waste (87) 20 It is located. The filter section (85) between the first room (86) and the second room (87) is the first room. (86) and separate the second chamber (87). With a certain flow rate, to the primary filter (8) Some of the water that enters, which contains solid waste, moves through the first chamber (86). By doing so, the water leaves the primary filter (8) from the first water outlet area (83). Meanwhile, the first Some of the water passing through the room (86) flows into the second room (87). The first room (86) and 25 Thanks to the filter section (85) between the second chamber (87), solid particles in the water are removed A relatively larger amount of it is kept in the first room (86). Thus, the first water containing relatively more solid particles in room (86) from the first water outlet area (83) while evacuation was provided, the second room (87) contained a second, relatively less solid particle. Water is transferred from the water outlet area (84) to the washing head (11). 30 8 In one application of the invention, the primary filter (8) is positioned inclined against the direction of water flow. Depending on the distance and length between the filtering protrusions (851) the first chamber (86) It creates a whirlpool effect in the water flowing through it, and this effect directs the water. Whirlpool kept inside (81) by the effect of the first room (86) by the filter section (85) There are particles and solid waste that pass into the second chamber (87) unaffected by this vortex. 5 Water rich in solid waste particles comes out of the first water outlet area (83). As can be seen in Figure 5, the secondary filter (12) where secondary filtration is performed is preferably detergent. The box (16) is positioned in a slot that can be inserted and removed. The invention In its structure, the secondary filter (12) is a microfilter and the microplastics in the fibers It can be filtered. Especially the 10 that are processed in the washer and washer / dryer. Fibers detached from the laundry mix with the washing water. This happens in the washing water circulation line. (7) first to the primary filter (8) and then to the secondary filter (12) inside the detergent box (16) It is passed through and freed from the fibers inside. In one aspect of the invention, The secondary filter (12) may also contain an activated carbon filter. In this way, microorganisms are removed. By adsorbing onto the carbon surface on the activated carbon filter, it remains in the waiting period for 15 minutes. This can help prevent the formation of odors. Referring to Figures 6 and 7, the secondary filter (12) should be placed at a certain distance from the other filter. placed, clean water from the second line (10) to the secondary filter (12) at more than one point There is a washing head (11) that allows spraying. Immediately next to the secondary filter (12) This washing head (11) is positioned on a rectangular prism 20 It is shaped in such a way that the water that enters it exits the bottom from multiple points. It enables the sending / spraying of the secondary filter (12). The active ingredients that accumulate on the surface are removed from the surface with each washing step. Since it is removed, the effective use of internal volume and the filter lifespan are increased. Washing a series of 25 deployed on the base surface (111) facing the secondary filter (12) of the header (11). There are spray nozzles (112). These spray nozzles (112) are located on the base surface (111) It is distributed and ensures that the secondary filter (12) is cleaned by spraying. Thus, the secondary filter (12) is cleaned without drawing water from the network. As can be seen in Figure 2, another example of a different construction of the invention is simply... 30 minutes of clean water from the second line (10) flows into the washing head (11) during the rinsing step. on the second line (10) which controls the water flow so that it can be directed. 9 There is a deployed diverting valve (14). Thanks to this, only the stopping process During this process, the secondary filter (12) is washed with clean water. In this configuration, the main When the filtration step is activated at the end of the washing step, the output from the primary filter (8) purified water does not go to the washing head (11), before the washing head (11) The deployed diverting valve (14) directs the water flow to the diverting path (15) 5 by directing and recovering the water to the detergent box (16) and from there to the third line (13) (2) It is transferred underneath. At the end of the rinsing steps, the filtering step comes into play. By opening the clean water diverting valve coming from the second line (10), the water is directed to the washing head (11) It directs and the secondary filter (12) is washed. In a structure of the invention, the direction The valve (14) can be selected as a three-way valve. 10 In another configuration of the invention, the filtered water is discharged after the filtration process is complete. a drain pump (3) which will enable the discharge and a drain connected with this drain pump (3) a household appliance as in any of the above claims characterized by line (4).
