Embodiment Construction

[0035] The figures show a liquid pump 1 with a front chamber 2 and a main chamber 3 . The liquid pump 1 is provided here as a condensate pump in the washing and drying installation W. The washing and drying device W may especially be a spin dryer or a clothes dryer.

[0036] The antechamber has an inlet 4 for injecting liquid in the form of condensate K. The condensed water K may have foreign substances such as fluff and hair and washing treatment aids dissolved therein such as detergent residues. The antechamber 2 has a passage opening 5 in its bottom, which communicates the antechamber 2 with the main chamber 3 . The through opening 5 is deeper than the injection opening 4 . If the passage opening 5 is not closed, condensation water K located in the antechamber 2 can flow through the passage opening 5 into the main chamber 3 .

[0037] The main chamber 3 has a drain opening 6 on its side walls at the level of the bottom for draining condensate K. The outlet opening 6 ca...

Abstract

The domestic appliance W is equipped with a liquid pump 1, wherein the liquid pump 1 has a pre-chamber 2 and a main chamber 3, wherein the pre-chamber 2 has a filling opening 4 for filling liquid K; the pre-chamber 2 and the main chamber 3 are connected to one another via a passage opening 5 which lies at a lower point than the filling opening 4; the main chamber 3 has an outlet opening for discharging the liquid K and a pressure opening 8 which is connected to an air pump 7; a valve element 9 is arranged in or with the main chamber 3, which valve element 9 is controlled by the filling level and is set up and arranged to close the passage opening 5 when a maximum filling level hmax is reached in the main chamber 3; wherein at least one filling-level sensor 10 is arranged on or in the pre-chamber 2, by means of which filling-level sensor 10 the reaching of an activation level (ha) in the pre-chamber 2 can be sensed; and wherein the liquid pump 1 is set up to activate the air pump 7 for a defined time period when the activation level ha is reached.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a domestic appliance, in particular a washing and drying appliance, which has a liquid pump, in particular a condensate pump. Background technique [0002] In the document JP 2010-35685A a liquid pump for conveying condensate in domestic appliances is disclosed. The liquid pump is a rotary lobe pump and has a chamber with a liquid level sensor. When the level of condensate in the chamber reaches a determined height, the liquid pump is activated for a determined duration in order to convey the accumulated condensate out of the chamber. [0003] Condensate water pumps are used in clothes dryers, which pump condensate water evaporated from the laundry to be dried and then condensed in the condenser into a condensate liquid container. The condensed liquid container can deliver condensed water to a drain or to wash parts of the dryer. However, condensate typically has foreign matter - such as lint, hair or detergent residue, etc....
