METHOD FOR INTRODUCING DETERGENTS AND ASSOCIATED WASHING MACHINE

摘要

To reduce detergent losses, the aim of the invention is to provide a method that can be implemented using few material resources, that does not require any additional energy and that permits detergents to be introduced into a programmable washing machine by means of a detergent-liquid mixture flowing onto the preferably cylindrical drum body (13) of a washing drum (4). To achieve this, the washing drum (4) is rotatably mounted about an at least approximately horizontal axis (14) in a tub (3) and the drum body (13) is provided with orifices (9). The detergent-liquid mixture flows in a stream (12) against the rotating drum body (13) in such a way that the stream (12) hits an area (15) of the drum body (13) at an oblique angle, said area lying in the upper quadrant of the cylindrical form of the drum. The washing drum (4) is driven in the preferred rotational direction (8) in such a way that the drum body (13) is displaced against the oncoming stream (12).
