Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for feeding detergents in dishwashers using a two-part metering chamber arranged on the inside of a hinged loading door, which can be locked by a flap with a controllable trigger mechanism.
  • Dishwashers generally use a soaking process to clean the dishes, i.e. the actual cleaning agent is fed from a dosing chamber to the washing container at the beginning of the heating process by triggering an actuating flap or the like after the completion of a pre-rinsing cycle, which usually takes place without cleaning agent.
  • the ion exchanger is backwashed, that is to say the very hard water present after the regeneration is removed from the dishwasher.
  • a washing machine of the top loading type has become known, which has a pivotable lid on the top, which is provided on the underside with a detachable metering chamber.
  • This metering chamber contains a chamber for receiving a cleaning agent and has an inlet opening on one end face, which corresponds to an outlet opening of an inlet pipe for water in the washing machine when the lid is closed.
  • the dosing chamber has a flap connected via a film hinge, with which the chamber can be closed and which forms the bottom of the dosing chamber when closed and with the lid closed. After opening the flap, detergent can be poured into the chamber.
  • the chamber has a pre-chamber divided by partitions, which on the one hand has the inlet opening and on the other hand Openings in the partitions are connected to the chamber.
  • the cleaning agent poured into the chamber lies on the flap, which forms a lateral outlet opening with the metering chamber.
  • water has to be introduced into the dosing chamber via the inlet opening, whereby the cleaning agent is then rinsed out together with the water into the washing machine via the outlet opening.
  • the invention is based on the object of specifying a device of the type described at the outset which, in a user-friendly manner, allows detergent to be metered in additionally for a pre-rinse cycle without additional control elements being required. According to the invention, this is achieved in that the first chamber is provided with an outlet opening which is effective in the operating position of the loading door when the flap is closed and which is incorporated into parts of the flap.

It is expedient to design the chambers 2 and 3 so that the total amount of cleaning agent usually used is applied to the chambers 2 and 3 in a ratio of 2 : 1 is divided by the size of the chambers.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Zuführen von Reinigungsmitteln bei Geschirrspülern unter Verwendung einer an der Innenseite einer klappbaren Beschickungstür angeordneten zweiteiligen Dosierkammer, die durch eine Klappe mit steuerbarem Auslösemechanismus abschließbar ist.The invention relates to a device for feeding detergents in dishwashers using a two-part metering chamber arranged on the inside of a hinged loading door, which can be locked by a flap with a controllable trigger mechanism.

Bei Geschirrspülmaschinen wird zum Reinigen des Geschirrs im allgemeinen ein Einlaugenverfahren verwendet, d.h. das eigentliche Reinigungsmittel wird aus einer Dosierkammer durch Auslösen einer Betätigungsklappe oder dergl. nach Abschluß eines Vorspülganges, der meist ohne Reinigungsmittel erfolgt, zu Beginn des Aufheizvorganges dem Spülbehälter zugeführt. Vor dem Zuführen von Frischwasser für den Vorspülgang erfolgt eine Rückspülung des Ionenaustauschers, also das Entfernen des nach dem Regenerieren vorliegenden sehr harten Wassers aus dem Spüler.Dishwashers generally use a soaking process to clean the dishes, i.e. the actual cleaning agent is fed from a dosing chamber to the washing container at the beginning of the heating process by triggering an actuating flap or the like after the completion of a pre-rinsing cycle, which usually takes place without cleaning agent. Before the fresh water for the pre-rinse cycle is supplied, the ion exchanger is backwashed, that is to say the very hard water present after the regeneration is removed from the dishwasher.

Da ein Vorspülgang mit Zugabe von Spülmitteln sicher mehr Wirkung hat als ein solcher ohne Spülmittel, wurde bereits vorgeschlagen, der Maschine vor diesem Vorspülgang ein Reinigungsmittel beizugeben. In vielen Fällen geschieht dies dadurch, daß man ein Reinigungsmittel am Boden des Spülbehälters deponiert. Dies ist nicht sehr bedienungsfreundlich. Man hat deshalb auch schon vorgeschlagen, zusätzlich zum verschließbaren Dosierbehälter für das Reinigungsmittel eine Mulde oder dergl. vorzusehen, in die Reinigungsmittel für einen Vorspülgang eingegeben wird, das durch das Schließen der Beschickungstür des Spülers in den Spülbehälter gekippt wird. Diese Art der Zugabe hat den Nachteil, daß unter Umständen ein beträchtlicher Anteil des Spülmittels beim Rückspülen des Enthärters mit ausgewaschen und abgepumpt wird.Since a pre-rinse with the addition of detergents certainly has more effect than one without detergent, it has already been proposed to add a detergent to the machine before this pre-rinse. In many cases, this is done by depositing a cleaning agent on the bottom of the washing compartment. This is not very easy to use. It has therefore also been proposed to provide a trough or the like in addition to the closable dosing container for the cleaning agent, into which cleaning agent is introduced for a pre-rinse cycle, which is tilted into the washing container by closing the loading door of the dishwasher. That kind of encore has the disadvantage that, under certain circumstances, a considerable proportion of the detergent is washed out and pumped out when the softener is backwashed.

Etwas ganz anderes ist die Verwendung einer Einspülvorrichtung mit zwei Kammern gemäß DE-U-79 33 519, die durch einen gemeinsamen Deckel verschlossen sind. Der Deckel kann durch je eine aktive Betätigung in zwei verschiedene Offenstellungen gebracht werden, in denen jeweils eine der Kammern zum Ausspülen freigegeben wird.Something completely different is the use of a induction device with two chambers according to DE-U-79 33 519, which are closed by a common cover. The cover can be brought into two different open positions by an active actuation, in each of which one of the chambers is released for rinsing.

Durch die US-PS 38 05 562 ist eine Waschmaschine vom Topladertyp bekannt geworden, die an der Oberseite einen schwenkbaren Deckel aufweist, der an seiner Unterseite mit einer lösbaren Dosierkammer versehen ist. Diese Dosierkammer enthält eine Kammer zur Aufnahme eines Reinigungsmittels und besitzt an einer Stirnseite eine Einlaßöffnung, die bei geschlossenem Deckel mit einer Auslaßöffnung eines Zuflußrohres für Wasser in der Waschmaschine korrespondiert. Die Dosierkammer besitzt eine über ein Filmscharnier verbundene Klappe, mit der die Kammer verschlossen werden kann und die im geschlossenen Zustand und bei geschlossenem Deckel den Boden der Dosierkammer bildet. Nach Öffnen der Klappe kann in die Kammer Reinigungsmittel eingefüllt werden. Die Kammer besitzt eine durch Trennwände abgeteilte Vorkammer, die einerseits mit der Einlaßöffnung und andererseits über Öffnungen in den Trennwänden mit der Kammer verbunden ist. Das in die Kammer eingefüllte Reinigungsmittel liegt bei geschlossener Klappe und bei geschlossenem Waschmaschinendeckel auf der Klappe, die mit der Dosierkammer eine seitliche Auslauföffnung bildet. Um das Reinigungsmittel aus der Dosierkammer in die Waschmaschine zu bekommen, muß über die Einlaßöffnung Wasser in die Dosierkammer eingebracht werden, wodurch das Reinigungsmittel dann zusammen mit dem Wasser über die Auslauföffnung in die Waschmaschine ausgespült wird.From US-PS 38 05 562 a washing machine of the top loading type has become known, which has a pivotable lid on the top, which is provided on the underside with a detachable metering chamber. This metering chamber contains a chamber for receiving a cleaning agent and has an inlet opening on one end face, which corresponds to an outlet opening of an inlet pipe for water in the washing machine when the lid is closed. The dosing chamber has a flap connected via a film hinge, with which the chamber can be closed and which forms the bottom of the dosing chamber when closed and with the lid closed. After opening the flap, detergent can be poured into the chamber. The chamber has a pre-chamber divided by partitions, which on the one hand has the inlet opening and on the other hand Openings in the partitions are connected to the chamber. When the flap is closed and the washing machine lid is closed, the cleaning agent poured into the chamber lies on the flap, which forms a lateral outlet opening with the metering chamber. In order to get the cleaning agent from the dosing chamber into the washing machine, water has to be introduced into the dosing chamber via the inlet opening, whereby the cleaning agent is then rinsed out together with the water into the washing machine via the outlet opening.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs beschriebenen Art anzugeben, die es bedienungsfreundlich erlaubt, für einen Vorspülgang zusätzlich dosiert Reinigungsmittel zuzugeben, ohne daß zusätzliche Steuerelemente erforderlich sind. Gemäß der Erfindung wird dies dadurch erreicht, daß die erste Kammer mit einer in der Betriebsstellung der Beschickungstür bei geschlossener Klappe wirksamen Auslauföffnung versehen ist, die in Teile der Klappe eingearbeitet ist.The invention is based on the object of specifying a device of the type described at the outset which, in a user-friendly manner, allows detergent to be metered in additionally for a pre-rinse cycle without additional control elements being required. According to the invention, this is achieved in that the first chamber is provided with an outlet opening which is effective in the operating position of the loading door when the flap is closed and which is incorporated into parts of the flap.

Hierdurch wird erreicht, daß einerseits das Vorspülmittel richtig dosiert ist und andererseits weitgehend gewährleistet ist, daß das Reinigungsmittel seinem eigentlichen Zweck ohne größere Verluste zugeführt wird. Mit der Einarbeitung der Auslauföffnung in Teile der Klappe wird erreicht, daß die Vorrichtung selbst alle notwendigen Elemente für ein Zweilaugenverfahren aufnimmt, so daß auf Veränderungen z. B. an der Innenwandung der Behältertür verzichtet werden kann. Vorteilhaft ist es, die Auslauföffnung derart zu gestalten und auszurichten, daß das Reinigungsmittel in einem Strahl etwa parallel zur Innenfläche der Beschickungstür ausläuft. Dadurch rieselt in der Betriebsstellung der Beschickungstür das Reinigungsmittel entlang der Beschickungstür zum Boden des Spülbehälters, so daß wenig Reinigungsmittel in den eigentlichen Sumpf gelangt. Die Klappe ist zweckmäßig so gestaltet, daß sie die zweite Kammer mit ihrer Innenseite dicht abschließt, so daß während eines Vorspülganges das meist pulverförmige Reinigungsmittel für den Hauptspülgang nicht benetzt wird.This ensures that, on the one hand, the pre-rinse agent is dosed correctly and, on the other hand, it is largely ensured that the detergent is used for its actual purpose without major losses. With the incorporation of the outlet opening in parts of the flap it is achieved that the device itself takes up all the necessary elements for a two-eye process, so that changes to z. B. can be dispensed with on the inner wall of the container door. It is advantageous to design and align the outlet opening in such a way that the cleaning agent is in a jet approximately parallel to the Inner surface of the loading door runs out. As a result, in the operating position of the loading door, the cleaning agent trickles along the loading door to the bottom of the rinsing container, so that little cleaning agent gets into the actual sump. The flap is expediently designed such that it seals the inside of the second chamber so that the mostly powdered cleaning agent for the main wash cycle is not wetted during a pre-wash cycle.

when closed, a dosing chamber for detergents.

Dosierkammern sind meist in der Tiefe der Beschickungstür von Spülern an deren Innenseite befestigt. Die Dosierkammer besteht aus einem Unterteil 1, in das Kammern 2 und 3 eingeformt sind. Mit dem Unterteil 1 ist über Scharnierböcke 4 ein Klappdeckel 5 verbunden, der durch eine nicht gezeichnete Feder in der Offenstellung gehalten wird. Der Deckel 5 trägt an seiner Innenseite einen Dichtrahmen 6, der mit dem Rand der Kammer 2 übereinstimmt und im geschlossenen Zustand diese abdichtet. In den Deckel 5 ist ferner eine Ausnehmung 7 eingearbeitet, durch die hindurch ein Riegel 8 mit Teilen des Deckels 5 so in Eingriff kommt, daß der Deckel entgegen der Kraft der nicht gezeichneten Feder in der aus Fig. 2 ersichtlichen Verschlußstellung gehalten wird. Der Riegel 8 kann durch geeignete Steuerelemente, wie Zugmagnete oder Bimetallstreifen, ausgelöst werden, so daß die Feder den Deckel 5 in eine Offenstellung bringt. In den Deckel 5 ist ferner eine Auslauföffnung 9 eingearbeitet, die der Kammer 3 zugeordnet ist und durch die das in die Kammer 3 eingefüllte Reinigungsmittel dann auslaufen kann, wenn die Dosierkammer mit der Beschickungstür in die Betriebslage gebracht wird, wobei der Deckel 5 etwa senkrecht und damit parallel zur Innenfläche der Beschickungstür zu liegen kommt.Dosing chambers are usually attached to the inside of the loading door of dishwashers. The dosing chamber consists of a lower part 1, into which chambers 2 and 3 are molded. A hinged cover 5 is connected to the lower part 1 via hinge brackets 4 and is held in the open position by a spring (not shown). The lid 5 carries on its inside a sealing frame 6, which coincides with the edge of the chamber 2 and seals it in the closed state. In the lid 5, a recess 7 is also incorporated, through which a bolt 8 engages with parts of the lid 5 so that the lid is held against the force of the spring, not shown, in the closed position shown in FIG. 2. The bolt 8 can be triggered by suitable control elements, such as pull magnets or bimetallic strips, so that the spring brings the cover 5 into an open position. In the lid 5, an outlet opening 9 is also incorporated, which is assigned to the chamber 3 and through which the detergent filled into the chamber 3 can leak when the metering chamber is brought into the operating position with the loading door, the lid 5 being approximately vertical and so that it lies parallel to the inner surface of the loading door.

Die Dosierkammer mit den beiden Kammern 2 und 3 ist im übrigen so gestaltet, daß in die Kammer 3 für den Vorspülgang eine wesentlich kleinere Menge an Reinigungsmittel eingegeben werden kann. Vorteilhaft ist es, die Kammer 3 um mehr als 30 % kleiner zu gestalten als die Kammer 2. Es ist zweckmäßig, die Kammern 2 und 3 so zu gestalten, daß die üblicherweise eingesetzte Gesamtmenge an Reinigungsmittel auf die Kammern 2 und 3 im Verhältnis von 2:1 durch die Größe der Kammern aufgeteilt wird.The dosing chamber with the two chambers 2 and 3 is designed so that a much smaller amount of detergent can be entered into the chamber 3 for the pre-rinse cycle. It is advantageous to make the chamber 3 smaller by more than 30% than the chamber 2. It is expedient to design the chambers 2 and 3 so that the total amount of cleaning agent usually used is applied to the chambers 2 and 3 in a ratio of 2 : 1 is divided by the size of the chambers.
