Washing machine and textile washing and rinsing method

Abstract

A textile rinsing method in a washing machine, the washing machine including a tub, a rotating basket within the tub and a water spraying device, the method comprising stopping the basket, admitting a predetermined fresh water quantity, storing the predetermined fresh water quantity in the tub, spraying the textiles by means of the water spraying device, draining and centrifuging the remaining liquid in the tub and determining the number of semi-rinses. The method may be carried out in a washing machine including a tub and a rotating basket within the tub, wherein the washing machine comprises a pumping system, and a set of spraying means, including a directional valve, a conduction hose, a tub cover and, be it a hose with a plurality of holes or a nozzle and deflector or dispenser box, wherein by means of the directional valve, the pumping system is capable of leading through the conduction hose a determined quantity of fresh water stored in the tub to the, be it a hose with a plurality of holes or a nozzle and deflector or dispenser box, wherein any of the afore are capable of directing the water towards the basket.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention refers to washing machines and textile washing methods, particularly textile rinsing methods in a washing machine, which avoids water waste, improves textile rinsing effect and obtains less textile wear.[0002]PRIOR ART DESCRIPTION[0003]The present invention provides a washing machine and an improved textile rinsing method in washing machines.[0004]The rinsing methods known in prior art are carried out by deep rinse methods or by spray methods or combination of the same.[0005]In a deep rinse phase, water is admitted in a tub to predetermined levels. The textiles are agitated in the fresh water by an agitator or propeller, and the water is later drained and the textiles centrifuged.[0006]In a spray rinse phase, the basket is rotated at a constant determined speed, while fresh water is admitted and sprayed to the textiles, which adhere against the base and walls of the basket due to the basket's rotation.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0006]In a spray rinse phase, the basket is rotated at a constant determined speed, while fresh water is admitted and sprayed to the textiles, which adhere against the base and walls of the basket due to the basket's rotation. Fresh water penetrates the textile's layers, taking away a certain amount of detergent and filth of the textile being washed. The remaining liquid is continuously drained. The phase is usually completed by means of rotating the basket at a high speed, in which a large part of the remaining water in the textiles is extracted by centrifuge force. Since agitation during spray rinse is eliminated, and since there is almost no friction between the agitator and the textiles during spray rinse, the wear of textiles is less.

[0036]Additionally, another object of the invention is providing a washing machine that may achieve the afore-mentioned objects by means of different configurations in the washing machine.

Problems solved by technology

However, in the method disclosed by the patent, water is sprayed while rotating the basket, therefore an entire removal of detergent and soil is not achieved.

Therefore an entire removal of detergent and soil is not achieved.

Therefore an entire removal of detergent and soil is not achieved.

Furthermore, the patent sprays fresh water to the clothes, however, does not centrifuge the clothes to free the cloth of the water within.

This has proven to be ineffective, since water which contains detergent and filth is being recycled.

The afore, does not achieve a complete removal of detergent and filth in the textiles.

It has been observed that controlling time and water depending on the amount of cloth, does not achieve an efficient removal of detergent and dirt in the cloths.

It has been observed that controlling time and water depending on the amount of cloth does not achieve an efficient removal of detergent and filth in the cloth.

These steps are repeated a predetermined number of times. As in the other prior art disclosed, the patent discloses how to spray water while rotating the basket, and therefore, does not achieve a complete removal of detergent and filth in the cloth.

As in the other prior art disclosed, the patent discloses how to spray water while rotating the basket, and therefore, does not achieve a complete removal of detergent and filth in the cloth.

However, when using the combination of rinses, said patents obtained the disadvantage of requiring high quantities of water, and therefore an efficient reduction of used water by the washing machine was not obtained.

Rotating the basket while spraying the cloth, as is disclosed by prior art, causes a dehydration of the cloth.

Even with a low rotation speed, a certain centrifuge force is done, causing the dehydration of the cloth.
