Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011045762A1] A household appliance (1), particularly for treating textile items, comprising a cabinet (2), a rotatable member (3) rotatably mounted in the cabinet (2), a reversible dynamoelectric machine (5), operatively coupled to the rotatable member (3) for causing rotation thereof, and control means (7, 21) for driving the reversible dynamoelectric machine (5) during the operation of the household appliance (1). The control means (7, 21) are suitable for driving the reversible dynamoelectric machine (5) to generate a driving torque, with the aim of bringing the rotatable member (3) to acquire and/or maintain substantially determined rotational speeds. The control means (7, 21) are further configured for driving the reversible dynamoelectric machine (5) with the aim of performing, during the treatment cycle, steps for controlled braking of the rotation of the rotatable member (3), where during the controlled braking steps, the reversible dynamoelectric machine (5) generates electric energy. According to the invention, the household appliance (1) comprises circuit means (24-26) for recovering and making usable the electric energy generated by the reversible dynamoelectric machine (5) during the controlled braking steps.
