Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The invention relates to a laundry treatment device comprising a housing defining a treatment chamber, wherein the treatment chamber is for receiving laundry to be treated, wherein at least one treatment unit is provided, which is movable relative to the housing and designed for treating the laundry put into the treatment chamber. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the context of laundry treatment devices, it has been disclosed, inter alia, devices in which laundry can generally be treated individually. Generally, in the respective devices a movable treatment unit is provided with which the put-in laundry is subjected to a respective treatment in at least one treatment step. In some cases, the laundry treatment device is designed in a manner similar to a cabinet, wherein the laundry to be treated is hung in the inner space of the laundry treatment cabinet for treatment.

[0003] For example, WO 2020 / 084315 A1 discloses a laundry treatment device designed as a laundry treatment cabinet, the housing of which forms a treatment chamber in the inner space into which the laundry to be treated can be put in individually. In the treatment chamber a treatment unit is provided, which is movable vertically within the treatment chamber and has a flexible steam head. The laundry to be treated is stretched in the treatment chamber for smoothing, wherein the steam head of the treatment unit comes into contact with the laundry during the treatment. Furthermore, on the opposite side of the steam head treatment brushes are also provided, which come into contact with this side of the laundry, respectively, during the treatment of the laundry. The laundry treatment cabinet is designed as a standable or mountable device. SUMMARY

[0004] From the above-mentioned prior art, it is now the task of the present invention to provide a laundry treatment device with which the treatment of the respective laundry can be realized in as compact a manner as possible.

[0005] This task is solved by the technical solution of the invention. The subsequent technical solutions of the invention each give advantageous further developments of the invention.

[0006] According to the invention, the laundry treatment device comprises a housing defining a treatment chamber. Here, the treatment chamber is for receiving laundry to be treated, wherein at least one treatment unit is provided, which is movable relative to the housing and designed for treating the laundry put into the treatment chamber. Thus, in the laundry treatment device according to the invention, the housing forms a treatment chamber into which the laundry to be treated can be introduced for treatment of the laundry there. Here, the treatment is carried out by at least one treatment unit, which is movable relative to the housing for this purpose.

[0007] The technical teaching now included by the present application is that the housing is provided with a suspension device for suspending the laundry treatment device. In other words, the housing of the laundry treatment device of the present application has a device by which the housing and thus the laundry treatment device can be suspended.

[0008] Here, this embodiment of the laundry treatment device has the advantage that a compact device can be provided by which laundry can be treated. Since the laundry treatment device of the present application is configured to be suspended in a suitable place and there to perform the treatment of the respective laundry. Thus, the necessity of the user to provide a separate storage space for the laundry treatment device is eliminated. Overall, a laundry treatment device is realized which can be arranged in a compact manner and method.

[0009] In the sense of the present application, the laundry treatment device of the present application has an extension in the width direction which is only slightly higher than the extension of a conventional clothes hanger. Thereby, on the one hand, it is ensured that the laundry placed in can be treated over its entire width, on the other hand, since the laundry treatment device is only slightly higher in the width direction than the extension of a clothes hanger, it can be accommodated in a wardrobe or the like.

[0010] According to the present application, the "depth direction" refers to an orientation along an axis along which the laundry treatment device is suspended. The "width direction" refers to a direction along an axis which extends perpendicularly to the depth direction and horizontally. Finally, the "height direction" refers to an orientation along an axis which is perpendicular to the depth direction and oriented vertically.

[0011] Unlike the embodiments of the present application, the laundry treatment device of WO 2020 / 084315 A1 is configured as a standable or mountable device, for which, due to the dimensions of the device, the user must provide a suitable standing or mounting place when in use and when not in use.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present application, the at least one treatment unit is arranged on each side of the treatment chamber in the depth direction and can be moved from a parked position to a moved-out position relative to the housing, respectively. In particular, the at least one treatment unit is positioned directly below the housing in the height direction in its respective parked position and sinks relative to the housing during the movement from the parked position to the moved-out position. Alternatively, however, it is also conceivable within the framework of the present application that the at least one treatment unit is located inside the housing and thus in the region of the treatment chamber.

[0013] Preferably, the respective standstill position and the respective removal position are at a distance from one another in the height direction, such that the at least one treatment unit moves at least almost completely along the laundry put into the treatment chamber when moving between the positions. Thereby, it is ensured that a treatment of the laundry in the treatment chamber as complete as possible is achievable by the at least one treatment unit moving between the positions. Here, however, the standstill position can be chosen such that an upper region of the laundry is intentionally exposed, for example a collar region of the laundry.

[0014] Furthermore, according to another configuration possibility of the present application, at least one drive unit is provided, by means of which a movement of the at least one treatment unit in at least one movement direction can be initiated. The drive unit is preferably designed as an electric motor, by means of which the at least one treatment unit can be driven to move relative to the housing. In principle, the at least one drive unit can be arranged on the housing side or also on the at least one treatment unit side.

[0015] Within the framework of the present application, the at least one treatment unit is fixed to the housing, in particular by means of a rope or wire, wherein a movement of the at least one treatment unit relative to the housing in at least one movement direction takes place via the at least one drive unit by winding or unwinding the rope or wire. Correspondingly, a relative movement is achieved by means of a rope or wire system. Alternatively, in the sense of the present application, a guidance of the at least one treatment unit on the housing can also take place by means of a guide rail, wherein the at least one drive unit can then intentionally move the at least one treatment unit in the guide rail.

[0016] In an extension of the two configuration possibilities described above, the at least one drive unit is designed such that the at least one treatment unit is returned from the respective removal position to the respective standstill position, whereas a movement of the at least one treatment unit from the respective standstill position to the respective removal position can take place on the basis of a gravitational force acting thereon. Thus, in this case, the at least one drive unit is only provided for bringing the at least one treatment unit from a removal position below it in the vertical direction back into an upper standstill position, whereas a downward movement of the at least one treatment unit from the standstill position into the removal position takes place on the basis of the mass of the at least one treatment unit. This allows a simple construction of the at least one drive unit to be achieved.

[0017] In another embodiment of the application, processing units are arranged on both sides of the treatment chamber in the depth direction, wherein these processing units are each coupled to the housing and can be moved relative to the housing. Thus, in order to treat the laundry items placed in the treatment chamber, the laundry items can be acted upon from both sides, so that the treatment of the laundry items is optimized. The processing units can each be provided with at least one separate drive unit, or at least one common drive unit can be provided for both processing units. It is particularly preferred that the processing units on both sides of the treatment chamber are always moved parallel to one another, so that both sides of the laundry items located between them are always acted upon during the treatment.

[0018] In an extension of one or more of the above variants, the at least one processing unit is provided on the side facing the treatment chamber with at least one processing element, in particular at least one treatment brush. The at least one processing element is provided for contact with the laundry items placed in the treatment chamber. By means of the at least one processing element, a smoothing of the placed laundry items can be achieved. The processing element embodied as a treatment brush is preferably designed as a rotatable circular brush. In combination with the above-mentioned variant in which the downward movement of the at least one processing unit is caused by gravity, the rotational speed of the individual treatment brush and thus the force in the direction of the laundry items to be treated is matched to the mass of the at least one processing unit, so that the processing unit can still be moved completely into the removal position.

[0019] As an alternative or in addition to the above-mentioned embodiments, the at least one processing unit is provided on each side facing the treatment chamber with at least one heating and / or ventilation device, wherein the at least one heating and / or ventilation device is used to direct heat and / or air in the direction of the treatment chamber. Thus, in particular in combination with the above-mentioned variant provided with at least one processing element, a better smoothing of the placed laundry items is achieved by simultaneous heating or drying of the placed laundry items. If processing units are provided on both sides of the treatment chamber, the heating and / or ventilation device can be provided on one of the processing units, or a corresponding unit can also be provided on both processing units.

[0020] Further alternatively or additionally, the at least one processing unit is provided on each side facing the treatment chamber with at least one spraying device, wherein the at least one spraying device is used to deliver a liquid in the direction of the treatment chamber. The liquid can be water vapor and / or a fragrance. This embodiment is preferably implemented by one or both of the above-mentioned variants, so that the smoothing of the placed laundry items can be further improved.

[0021] According to one configuration possibility of the application, at least one sensor system is provided, by means of which at least one parameter in the region of the treatment chamber can be detected. Here, the at least one sensor system can have, for example, a laser by means of which the size of the laundry put into the treatment chamber can be detected. Alternatively or additionally, the respective sensor can also detect the drying time required by the laundry or the amount of liquid or water vapor used for treating the laundry by means of UV light. Here, the UV light can also be used to kill bacteria, if necessary. Further alternatively or additionally, the moisture in the region of the treatment chamber or on the laundry can also be detected by means of the respective sensor in order to adapt the operation of the heating and / or ventilation device provided, if necessary, or the spray device provided, if necessary, accordingly.

[0022] Finally, it can also be detected by means of the sensor whether the laundry treatment device is in a horizontal plane in order to take countermeasures, if necessary, in the event of a deviation from the horizontal plane. It is therefore conceivable within the scope of the application that the treatment brush is adjusted selectively by the drive motor when a deviation of the laundry treatment device from the horizontal is detected, so that the laundry treatment device is moved back into the horizontal plane.

[0023] In an expansion of the application, the housing comprises two housing parts which are arranged parallel on both sides of the treatment chamber in the depth direction. Thus, a suitable construction of the laundry treatment device can be achieved with low weight.

[0024] According to one advantageous embodiment of the application, the suspension device is designed as a through-opening in the housing for suspending the laundry treatment device on a clothes rail. In this way, a particularly compact installation of the laundry treatment device can be achieved in that the laundry treatment device is suspended on a clothes rail of a wardrobe or a separate clothes rail. However, alternatively, the suspension device can also be designed as a device with which a suspension on a hook, for example a hat hook or the like, can be achieved.

[0025] In an expansion of the above-mentioned embodiment, in conjunction with the division of the housing into two housing parts, the housing parts are provided with through-openings which extend coaxially to one another, which together form a through-passage. In this way, the through-passage can be achieved in an advantageous manner in a simple manner.

[0026] Alternatively or additionally, a conveying device is provided, which is designed for fastening on a clothes rail. Here, the conveying device comprises a drive device and a conveying element, which connects at least one depositing position adjacent to the treatment chamber, the treatment chamber and an output position adjacent to the treatment chamber to one another. When the drive device drives the conveying element, the conveying element conveys laundry arranged in the adjacent input position into the treatment chamber and / or conveys laundry present in the treatment chamber from the treatment chamber to the adjacent output position. In an advantageous manner, it is thereby possible to achieve an automatic feeding of the laundry treatment device and an extraction of the already treated laundry from the laundry treatment device. The conveying element can be designed according to the type of a belt or a chain, which is driven when conveying takes place. Here, if necessary, additional measures need to be implemented in order to achieve a lifting or removal of the housing of the laundry treatment device from the clothes rail during the supply of laundry to the treatment chamber or also during the removal from the treatment chamber. Furthermore, the conveying device can also have a plurality of consecutive depositing positions and / or a plurality of consecutive output positions.

[0027] One embodiment of the application is to provide a clamping device in the region of the passage, which serves to clamp the housing on the clothes rail. Thereby, it is ensured in an advantageous manner that the laundry treatment device according to the application remains horizontal on the clothes rail, in particular during the treatment of the deposited laundry.

[0028] The application is not limited to the specific combination of features of the technical solution of the application. Furthermore, there is also the possibility to combine individual features, as long as they are from the technical solution of the application, the following description of the preferred embodiments of the application or directly from the figures. The reference of the claims to the figures by using reference signs should not limit the scope of protection of the application. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0035] Figure 1 A schematic view of a laundry treatment device 1 designed according to a first embodiment of the present application is given. The laundry treatment device 1 comprises a housing 2 having two parallel housing parts 3 and 4, wherein the housing parts 3, 4 are rigidly connected to each other and define a middle treatment chamber 5 of the laundry treatment device. In the present case, a laundry 6 is placed in this treatment chamber 5 and thus between the two housing parts 3 and 4, which is to be treated by the laundry treatment device 1.

[0036] The housing parts 3 and 4 are each provided with a through opening 7 or 8, which are arranged coaxially to each other and jointly form a suspension device in the form of a through passage 9 for a (in the present case only schematically shown) clothes rail 10. Here, the clothes rail 10 is in the present case preferably a clothes rail of a wardrobe, wherein the laundry treatment device 1 is suspended on the clothes rail 10. The laundry 6 is also suspended on the clothes rail 10, which is done by means of a suspension device 11 in the form of a clothes hanger.

[0037] In Figure 1 a coordinate system with an x-direction, a y-direction and a z-direction is shown, wherein the z-direction corresponds to a depth direction, in which the clothes rail 10 is also oriented, and in which the two housing parts 3 and 4 define the middle treatment chamber 5. In contrast, the x-direction corresponds to a horizontal width direction and the y-direction corresponds to a vertical height direction. As Figure 1 is shown, the laundry treatment device 1 is designed in the x-direction with an extension, which is slightly larger than the extension of the suspension device 11 and the width of the laundry 6 placed thereon in this direction. However, the extension of the laundry treatment device in the x-direction is chosen to be only slightly larger, in order to be able to place the laundry in the wardrobe.

[0038] Furthermore, a treatment unit 12 or 13 is connected below each housing part 3 or 4 in the y-direction, which is located at the height of the respective housing part 3 or 4 in the z-direction. Thus, the two treatment units 12 and 13 are placed on both sides of the treatment chamber 5. Here, each individual treatment unit 12 or 13 can be moved from a parked position Figure 1 as shown, in the y-direction into a respective moved-out position, wherein the movement is shown in Figure 2 is shown. For this purpose, each individual treatment unit 12 or 13 is coupled with the respective housing part 3 or 4 by means of two rope systems 14 and 15 or 16 and 17, wherein the movement of the respective treatment unit 12 or 13 from the parked position to the moved-out position takes place based on the mass of the respective treatment unit 12 or 13 and the respective effective gravitational force.

[0039] In contrast, in order to move the treatment units 12 and 13 back into their respective rest positions, drive units 18, 19, 20 and 21 are provided in the housing parts 3 and 4 in the region of the rope systems 14 to 17, by means of which the respective ropes of the rope systems 14 or 15 or 16 or 17 can be wound up. Here, the drive units 18 to 21 are designed as electric motors. Here, not only the transfer of the treatment units 12 and 13 from the rest position to the moved-out position, but also the return of the treatment units 12 and 13 from the respective rest position to the respective moved-out position is effected in parallel or in parallel, so that the treatment units 12 and 13 are always moved in parallel or in parallel.

[0040] By means of these treatment units 12 and 13, the treatment of the laundry 6 between them takes place during their movement between the above-mentioned positions. For this purpose, the treatment units 12 and 13 are provided on the respective side facing the treatment chamber 5 with different elements, as is shown for the treatment unit 12 in Figure 3 Figure 3 It can be seen that the treatment unit 12 comprises a plurality of treatment elements in the form of treatment brushes 22, 23 and 24, which are designed as rotatable circular brushes. These treatment brushes 22, 23 and 24 can be rotated by a drive unit, not further shown here, wherein the direction of rotation is chosen such that a force is exerted on the laundry 6 in the y-direction and away from the hanger device 11. Here, the rotational speed and the force are matched to the mass of the treatment unit 12, so that the treatment unit 12 can reach the moved-out position from its rest position under the influence of gravity on its own.

[0041] In addition to the treatment brushes 22, 23 and 24, a plurality of heating and ventilation devices 25, 26 and 27 are provided on the side of the treatment unit 12 facing the treatment chamber 5, by means of which air and, if necessary, also heated air can be directed in the direction of the treatment chamber 5 in order to dry the laundry 6 located there. In addition, a spraying device 28 is provided, which is used to spray a liquid, for example in the form of water vapor and / or additional fragrance, in the direction of the treatment chamber 5. Here, the treatment unit 13 is designed as a mirror image of the treatment unit 12 and thus has the same elements on the side facing the treatment chamber 5.

[0042] In addition, in Figure 2 ​On the housing part 3, a plurality of sensors 29 and 30 are also shown, which can comprise lasers here, by means of which the dimensions of the laundry 6 to be treated can be detected, for example, for controlling the heating and ventilation devices 25 to 27. Furthermore, one of the sensors 29 and 30 can also be designed to determine the fabric properties of the laundry 6, for example, by means of UV light. Furthermore, sensors can be provided in terms of the treatment units 12 and 13 to detect the moisture in the treatment chamber 5 and thus also the moisture of the laundry 6. Such sensors can also be integrated with the heating and ventilation devices 25 to 27, for example, here.

[0043] One of the two sensors 29 and 30 can also be provided for detecting the horizontal position of the laundry treatment device 1 in order to be able to take countermeasures if the position of the laundry treatment device 1 deviates from the horizontal. This can be in the form of a corresponding control of the drive units of the treatment brushes 22 to 24, for example, in order to thereby achieve a position compensation of the laundry treatment device 1. Alternatively or additionally, however, clamping devices can also be provided in the region of the openings 7 and 8, by means of which the housing parts 3 and 4, respectively, can be clamped to the clothes rail 10.

[0044] Furthermore, the laundry treatment device 1 can also be provided with a control device (not further shown here), by means of which the operation of the laundry treatment device 1 can also be programmed, for example, to start the treatment of the laundry 6 at a predetermined time. It is also conceivable here, for example, that the laundry 6 placed in is purposefully preheated only by means of the heating and ventilation devices 25 to 27, for example, in order to preheat the laundry only in winter.

[0045] Furthermore, from Figure 4 and Figure 5 a view of a laundry treatment device 31 according to a second configuration possibility according to the application is derived. This laundry treatment device 31 largely corresponds to the previous variants according to 1 to 3 in that the laundry treatment device 30 also has housing parts 32 and 33 by means of which the laundry treatment device 32 is suspended on the clothes rail 10, and the treatment units corresponding to Figures 1 to 3 the variants according to 1 to 3 are coupled to these housing parts. In this case, however, the latter are not further shown.

[0046] Unlike the previous variants according to Figures 1 to 3 the laundry treatment device 32 additionally comprises a conveying device 34 by means of which the laundry to be treated can be guided automatically individually between the housing parts 32 and 33 into the treatment chamber there and can also be guided out of this treatment chamber again after the treatment has been completed. The conveying device 34 comprises a conveying element 35 in the form of a belt, into which the laundry to be treated can be hung with its suspension means 11 at a placing position, as Figure 5As shown. The belt is then selectively driven by a drive mechanism (not shown further here) to sequentially transfer the garments between placement positions, between placement positions in adjacent processing chambers and processing chambers, and between processing chambers and adjacent output positions. In other respects, according to Figure 4 and 5 The configuration possibilities correspond to those based on Figures 1 to 3 Variations of [the original text], therefore please refer to the above description in this regard.

[0047] The configuration of the present invention can be used to provide compact garment processing devices.
