Description

AT 000 565 Ul 5 The invention relates to a device for cleaning soiled objects / for example soiled textiles or dishes, a charger for this, and a combination thereof. 10 For the daily washing or

Dishwashing work - or generally speaking cleaning processes - sometimes requires considerable expenditure of energy, water and cleaning agents. 15 The present invention therefore has the task of providing a device for cleaning soiled objects, for example soiled textiles or dishes create, with which it is possible to allow the cleaning process to be carried out from outside without manual intervention, that is to say quasi analogously to the cleaning processes taking place in a machine, with the massive and / or combined use of cleaning agents or aids can at least be largely avoided «25

This object is achieved according to the invention by the device according to claim 1. A preferred charger is specified in claim 22 and a combination of device and charger in claim 23. 30

The steps that are still necessary when cleaning soiled objects, for example soiled textiles or dishes, are therefore limited to filling a suitable container, for example a bucket 35 or a sink, with water of the desired temperature, the soiled objects, for example Put soiled textiles or crockery into the water and add the device according to the invention into the water to the objects. “The vibrations generated by the drive propagate in the water on all sides and act on the dirt particles in this way that 5 they detach from the surfaces to which they adhere.

The cleaning effect that can be achieved with the device according to the invention can optionally be supported by a suitable cleaning aid, for example a detergent or dishwashing detergent or the like.

Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims. 15 The vibrations are preferably generated by means of an unbalance weight driven by an electric motor, the electric motor and the thi-balance weight being arranged in the housing. This means that the housing of the device according to the invention carries the vibration or vibration generator together with the associated drive, so that the device according to the invention is a compact, essentially externally closed device which is easy to transport. 25 The vibrations are in the range of approx. 30-150 Hz, more precisely the JLni range of approx. 40-100 Hz and in particular at approx. 50 Hz. Vibrations below approx. 30 Hz only show an extremely little or no cleaning effect, whereas oscillations or vibrations of more than 150 30 Hz can already tend to attack particularly sensitive materials, in the case of textile fabrics, for example synthetic fibers or silk, in the case of dishes, for example, thin glasses or plates with a gold rim or the like, as is also known from ultrasound.

The housing is essentially spherical. Although other forms of the housing are also possible, the spherical shape should / should be preferred, since due to the lack of protrusions / edges or the like, damage or injury to the objects to be cleaned and here in particular to textile materials 5 There is no need to fear.

The spherical surface is preferably provided with a plurality of rib-like projections. The vibrations of the spherical housing generated by the drive are coupled more intensively to the surrounding water or the surrounding cleaning or washing liquid by these rib-like projections due to the increase in surface area: the rib-like projections are here curved and equidistant in an essentially S-shaped manner Running from the lower to the upper pole of the dome-shaped housing, in addition to further comparing the radiation characteristics, results in an optically particularly interesting 20 and also appealing exterior of the device according to the invention. A magnet which is independent of the magnet of the electric motor and which is preferably a permanent ring magnet is preferably arranged in the housing. It is known that magnets have an effect on water in such a way that lime in the water does not precipitate, or only to a minor extent, on lines / vessels, fibers or the like. The at least one permanent magnet thus influences the water surrounding the housing in such a way that the water becomes "softer", which together with the vibrations or oscillations results in particularly good cleaning or washing effects. If this combination of vibration and magnetism is possibly supplemented by oxygen enrichment, for example by oxygen tablets in the cleaning liquid or the like. 4 AT 000 565 Ul, washing and cleaning agents can be completely dispensed with under certain circumstances.

If the perraanent ring magnet is arranged in the region of the equatorial plane of the spherical housing, the maximum inside diameter of the housing is available for its accommodation. As a result, the magnet can be correspondingly large and powerful. be made. Furthermore, this arrangement of the magnet makes the housing self-aligning in the cleaning liquid or water. Finally, the upper end region of the electric motor can thereby be fixed in the manner of a bearing through the central opening of the magnet, and additional aids for this can be dispensed with. 15

The drive for the unbalance weight preferably also operates a pump component ♦ Kit this pump component, the water in which the device according to the invention is located can optionally be kept in motion or agitated, so that the discharge of dirt particles loosened by the vibrations is further improved .

In a further preferred embodiment, the vibration drive is a vibrating armature motor which, together with the associated energy supply and control, is arranged in the watertightly closed but openable housing. Vibrating armature motors have fewer wear parts than normal electric motors with a rotor and stator and therefore have a long service life.Furthermore, the vibrating armature motor can also generate the vibratory movements of the housing that are advantageous for dftn cleaning processes, since the pendulum or vibrating armature generates certain vibrations during operation can pass on the surrounding housing. In contrast to normal electric motors, vibrating armature motors also easily withstand the temperatures of 959C and more in Kocfcwasch conditions. 5 AT 000 565 ul

The combination is particularly preferred in such a way that not only are the vibrations of the housing generated by means of the vibrating armature motor / but the vibrating armature motor also drives its diaphragm pump. This membrane pump can be used to generate a certain liquid flow in the washing liquid, with which the cleaning effect can be intensified if necessary. In addition to the ripples of the water surface generated by the oscillations or vibrations 10 and the associated introduction of oxygen into the water, the membrane pump also moves or mixes deeper water, which thus favors the oxygen input to the water surface even in deeper water layers .

If there is a porous component in the outlet opening of the Kem-bran pump in the manner of an air stone, such as is used in aquaristics for the fine bubbling of air into the water, the finest air bubbles are introduced into the water with each pump cycle the membrane pupupe.

The energy supply for oscillation or vibration generation is preferably provided by a plurality of accumulators.

According to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the rechargeable batteries are charged without contact via an induction coil. This induction coil is located in the interior of the housing around a receiving chamber which extends into the interior of the housing and is connected to the Ak-35 accumulators with the interposition of appropriate control and regulating electronics. To charge the accumulators, the housing is combined with a corresponding inductive transmitter and the energy 6 AT 000 565 Ul radiated by the transmitter is absorbed by the induction coil through the housing wall and converted into a charging voltage or a charging current for the accumulators. The housing therefore does not have to be opened in order to recharge or recharge used batteries 5. For this reason, the housing can also be completely closed under certain circumstances, i. H. glued watertight, sprayed or the like, so that any water ingress into the housing is prevented with certainty. 10th

The inductive transmitter is located in a charger which is formed by a housing provided with a base, a columnar extension being formed on a surface of the housing opposite the base, the outer cross-section of which is the inner cross-section of the receptacle of the device housing essentially freely fits together, furthermore an inductive transmitter coil is arranged in the extension. By simply plugging the device housing onto the Lsde-20 device, the extension coming to rest in the receiving chamber, inductive transmitter de charger and inductive pick-up coil in the device come into close proximity and the batteries can be recharged. Furthermore, this combination represents the "quiescent state" of the erfin-25 fertilizer according to the device. * The spherical housing is held securely on the extension of the charger housing and is also visually attractive and due to the permanent recharging activity it is Device always ready for use. 30 According to a further preferred embodiment, the energy supply is switched on without contact when the housing is immersed in the washing liquid. This is achieved, for example, in that on the outer surface of the housing, which is exposed to the washing liquid, two 35 contact electrodes, which are adjacent to one another and are closely spaced from one another, and which then connect the load current to the consumer or consumers 7 AT 000 565 Ul via a downstream amplifier circuit / if there is the same potential between them due to the surrounding washing liquid. It is therefore not necessary to provide a manually operated switch within the housing. 5

In the housing, a chamber for a cleaning aid such as a detergent, a stain remover, a detergent, a fragrance, an oxygen carrier in uranium film or the like can also be formed. 10th

Finally, a memory chip, in particular in the form of a ROM (read-only memory) for a weighing program can be arranged in the housing. 15 Further details, aspects and advantages of the present invention result from the following description of embodiments with reference to the drawing. 20 Fs shows:

6 is a perspective view of a charger for use with one of the embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 4; and 5

FIG. 7 shows a perspective illustration of a combination of the charger from FIG. 6 with one of the embodiments from FIGS. 1 to 4. 10 A device according to the invention, designated overall by 2 in the drawing, for cleaning contaminated objects 1, for example of textiles or tableware, has a housing formed from an upper spherical cap 4 and a lower spherical cap 6. 8 15, the two domes 4 and 6 being connected to one another in the region of the equatorial plane by a watertight screw connection 10 or another watertight and possibly also releasable connection. In the interior of the housing 8 20 defined by the domes 4 and 6 there is, in addition to an electric motor 12, a number of energy supply units, for example two batteries 14 and 16, from which the electric motor 12 is supplied with electrical energy. The position of the electric motor 12, the energy supply units 14 and 16 25 and other associated components is achieved by means of support webs and ribs present in the lower cap 6, some of which are provided with the reference numerals 18 to 22.

When the upper cap 30 is removed from the lower cap 6, the interior of the housing 8 is accessible if necessary, for example to replace used batteries with fresh ones, or to use rechargeable batteries instead of batteries for recharging can also be removed or recharged on site using a housing-35 charging socket. Furthermore, with the upper spherical cap 4 removed, a 9 AT 000 565 ul electrical switch can be actuated / uro the electric motor 12 switched on * and off.

Instead of a 5 switch inside the housing 6 for sin * and switching off the electric motor 12, a potential-controlled switch in the form of two mutually spaced contacts can be seen on the outside of the housing 8 / for example on the outer circumference of the lower cap 6 are provided, then when immersing the device 2 according to the Invention into the wash water from the more or less conductive wash water the contact between the 'two contact surfaces is made and the electric motor 12 begins to run virtually automatically. If the housing 8 of the device 2 is then removed again 15 from the wash water / the electric motor 12 switches off automatically. This embodiment will be explained in more detail with reference to FIG. 5.

The batteries 14 and 16 can also be charged from the outside, ie without having to open the housing 8. This embodiment is described with reference to Figures 3, 4, 6 and 7.

An Ex-25 center 26 is arranged on an output shaft 24 of the electric motor 12. The lower free end of the output shaft 24 in FIG. 1 is held in a correspondingly formed support bearing 28 * When the electric motor 12 and thus the output shaft 24 rotate, the eccentric 26 arranged thereon in a rotationally fixed manner produces vibratory or vibratory movements which are caused by that Housing 8 are transferred to the surrounding water * The shaking or vibrating wool propagate on all sides in the water and causes corresponding shaking or vibrating movements on the fibers of the textile materials or the dirt particles adhering to them, or on the dishes or the like. sedentary or adhering dirt. The speed of the engine is in a range from about 1,800 to 9,000 revolutions per minute, more precisely from etWr: Mi30 to 6,000, in particular in a range from about 3,000 revolutions per minute. With the speeds indicated above, vibrating frequencies of the eccentric 26 from about 30 to 150 Hz can be achieved. Frequencies below 30 Hz and above 150 Hz have shown no or only poor cleaning results in practice, whereas Rütte 1 frequencies of approximately 40 to 100 Hz and in particular of approximately 50 Hz achieved the best results. 10th

The vibration or shaking movement of the housing 6 also leads to an oxygen enrichment of the water by movement of the water surface and thus to a further improved cleaning effect. 15

L as well as in the Ausgestaitungsform of FIG. 2 to be described in the housing 8, a receiving chamber 30 for a cleaning aid can be formed in the housing 8, which then has a corresponding hole 32 in the wall of the housing 6 the Auluaiuuekeuuiuer 30 gradually leaves and passes into the water. Examples of such auxiliary substances are a generally customary detergent, a stain remover, a rinse or gloss agent, a * fragrance, an oxygen-releasing granulate or the like. The reason for using such auxiliaries is that without their use, especially in the case of textile materials, the typical smell of freshly washed laundry is missing after the cleaning process, which many people find very pleasant.

In addition to the vibrations of the housing 8 generated by the motor 12 or the eccentric 26, the washing or cleaning performance of the device 2 according to the invention is improved or intensified by the fact that the motor 12 generates a magnetic field during operation. It is known that magnets have a positive effect on water since they are in 11 AT 000 565 Ul

Able to influence limescale in the water so that the water is " softer " which, together with the vibrations or vibrations of the housing δ, results in particularly good washing or cleaning belt effects.

The embodiment of FIG. 2 takes advantage of this fact. FIG. 2 shows a longing representation corresponding to FIG. 1 through a further embodiment of a device 2 according to the invention. The same reference numerals as in FIG. 1 designate the same parts and there is no further description.

According to FIG. 2, a magnet 34, which is independent of the magnet of the motor 12, is arranged in the area of the screw connection 10. The magnet 34 is a permanent ring magnet, which is supported with its outer circumference on the inner surface of the lower cap 6 below the screw 10. The outer circumference of the magnet 34 can be glued to the inner wall of the lower cap 6 in the mutual contact area. Furthermore, a flange 36 of the upper cap 4 in the screwed state according to FIG. 2 can press from above onto the upper surface of the ring magnet 34 in the edge region thereof, so that the ring magnet 34 is securely held together with the curve 25 of the lower cap 6. The ring magnet 34 has a central opening 38, which supports the electric motor 12 together with retaining webs 4Q, so that the electric motor 12 is securely held between the retaining webs 40, the central opening 38 of the ring magnet 34 and the lower bearing 28 . Spaces 42 and 44 remaining above and below the ring magnet 34 then serve to accommodate appropriately dimensioned energy supply elements, that is to say batteries or accumulators. Since the ring magnet 34 is grounded in the area of the screw connection 10 between the upper cap 4 and the lower cap 6 and thus in a range of the maximum diameter of the housing 8, the ring magnet 34 can be correspondingly large and thus 12 AT 000 565 Ul powerful, i.e. a strong magnetic field can be designed. 2 is somewhat below the exact equatorial plane of the housing 8 / it acts through its weight self-aligning 5 on the housing 8 such that it is always aligned in the washing or cleaning liquid so that the Axis of rotation or output shaft 24 of the motor 12 is perpendicular. Finally, the ring magnet 34 can be dimensioned so that its weight counteracts the buoyancy of the housing 10 so that it remains just submerged in the washing or cleaning liquid.

A further embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4. 3 shows a central vertical section along line III-III in FIG. 4 and FIG. 4 shows a central horizontal section along line ZV-IV in FIG. 3. The same or corresponding parts from FIGS. 1 and 2 are shown in FIG 3 and 4 provided with the same reference numerals and 20 there is no further detailed description thereof.

In the embodiment according to FIGS. 3 and 4, the device 2 again comprises the spherical housing 8, whereby, in contrast to the embodiment according to FIG. 1, the housing B is essentially closed on the circumference, ie not from an upper and a lower spherical cap consists. In the interior of the housing 8 there is an oscillating armature motor 46, which is essentially formed from a horseshoe-shaped core 48 with two legs 50 and 52, an excitation coil $ 4 being wound around the leg 52. A permanent magnet 56 is arranged laterally to and at a distance from the oscillating armature motor 46. The permanent magnet 55 is in this case carried by a spring plate 58, which has the 35 angled shape shown in FIG. 6 with a short leg, which carries the permanent magnet 56, and a long leg, which in a suitable holder 60 13 AT 000 565 Ul is fixed to the material of the housing 8. The long leg is still connected to a pump bellows 62 of a diaphragm pump 64. The pump bellows 62 is drawn in a watertight manner over a recess or recess SS formed in the wall of the housing 8 from FIG. 5, the bottom surface of the recess 66 having a bore 68 having.

A porous component 70 is held in the recess 66, for example a type of lava stone or a so-called air stone, as it is also used in aquariums.

The control 66, control and charging electronics, not shown in the drawing 15, is arranged diametrically opposite in the interior of the housing 8 on a circuit board 72. The pole dome of the housing 8 adjacent to the circuit board 72 can be made transparent in this case. For example, a transparent dome is molded onto the remaining opaque material of the housing 8 in the manufacture of the housing 8. An LED 74 or another light-emitting element can then be provided on the circuit board 72, with which the ready-to-operate shaft and / or the state of charge of the batteries 14 and 16 can be displayed, as is shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 , 25 in addition to the accumulators 14 and 16 in this embodiment 2, two further accumulators 76 and 73 are provided. The service life of the device according to the embodiment forms in FIGS. 6 and 7 is thereby practically doubled compared to that of FIG. 1. 30th

The oscillating armature motor 46 diametrically opposite is in the interior of the housing 8 on a corresponding support projection 80, which projects as a closed-walled cylinder into the interior of the housing 8, an inductor coil 82. The closed-walled cylindrical space defined by the support projection 80 serves as 14 AT 000 565 Ul nahraekammer 84 for a charger according to the invention to be described in more detail below.

A ring of hemispherical projections 86 is formed around the recess 66 in which the porous component 70 5 is located.

The operation and mode of operation of the embodiment according to FIGS. 3 and 4 is further explained below with reference to the drawing.

When the energy supply from the accumulators 14, 16, 76 and 78 is activated by a switch - to be explained in more detail - to the oscillating armature motor 46, 15 the control electronics arranged on the circuit board 72, via the excitation coil 54, the polarity of the two legs 50 and 52 changed cyclically, so that the permanent magnet 56 arranged on the spring plate 58 is also cyclically moved up and down in FIG. 3, since it is alternately attracted and repelled by the 20 legs 50 and 52. This upward and downward oscillating movement of the permanent magnet 56 in FIG. 3 is transmitted to the long leg of the spring plate 58 guided in the holder 60, so that the pump bellows 62 of the diaphragm pump 54 in FIG. 3 also has an upward and downward stroke - or performs pumping movements. Via the bore 68, these movements of the pump bellows 62, which act in the sense of volume enlargement and reduction, act on the recess 66. Because of the porous component 70, air in the form of finely distributed bubbles escapes from the recess 66 into the surrounding water as a result of these pump movements together with the oscillations or vibrations generated by the oscillating armature motor 46, the cleaning effect is considerably improved by the device 2.

Since, due to the weight of the porous component 70, the housing 8 tends to constantly align itself in the washing liquid so that it adjusts to the position according to FIG. 3, where the porous component 70 is furthest down lies, the ring of hemispherical projections 86 is arranged around the recess 66; As a result of these projections 86, the free surface of the porous component 70 expelling the air bubbles does not come into direct contact with an object to be cleaned underneath or the bottom surface of a washing container, so that the air bubble outlet from the porous component 70 is not prevented. In addition to the emergence of air bubbles from the porous component 70, the pumping movement of the bellows 62 generates a certain flow of liquid out of the porous component 70. The air outlet from the porous component 70 together with the liquid flow out of the recess 66 or the porous component 70 in connection with the vibrations of the entire housing 8 generated by the oscillating armature motor 46 produce the desired washing or cleaning effect in the washing liquid.

The coupling of the oscillations or vibrations generated by the housing 8 can be further intensified in that at least the lower ball half of the housing, ie where the porous component is arranged, is provided with a count of ribs or webs. This amplifies the transmission of vibrations from the housing to the surrounding washing liquid. This design of the ribs or webs will be discussed in more detail with reference to FIG. 7. The washing effect is further intensified by the magnetic field generated by the excitation coil 54 and the permanent magnet 56 and emitted by the housing 8. This magnetic field can be intensified if necessary by arranging one or more strong permanent magnets at suitable locations inside the housing 8. 16 AT 000 565 ul

The use of the oscillating armature motor 46 instead of the electric motor 12 still has the significant advantage / that oscillating armature motors, in contrast to electric motors formed from the rotor and stator, are insensitive to hit effects / so that they can also be used in the field where temperatures of 60eC and more are to be expected, i.e. heavily soiled when washing or cleaning. Objects. 10 As already mentioned above / it is an advantageous embodiment of the present invention to provide a way with which the energy supply for either the electric motor 12 in the embodiments according to FIG. 1 or 2 or for the 3 and 4 automatically switches on when the device 2 or the housing 9 comes into contact with the washing or cleaning fluid. Fig. 5 shows such a possibility. 20 On the outer wall of the housing 8, two contact electrodes 88 and 90 are arranged close to each other, but electrically isolated from each other in the open air. The contact electrodes 88 and 90 are followed by an amplifier circuit made up of two transistors 92 and 94 in a 25 Darlington switching configuration. Here, the collector / emitter path of the transistor 94 is connected between a positive voltage supply and ground, the resistance denoted by R being the load resistor formed by the electric motor 12 or the oscillating armature motor 46. If the housing 8 of the device 2 is generally immersed in water or a cleaning liquid, a potential equalization takes place between the two contact electrodes 88 and 90 such that the positive voltage applied to the contact electrode 88 is also applied to the 35 contact electrode 90, which causes the transistor 92 and also the transistor 94 are turned on and the load current can flow. As soon as the device 2 or housing 17 AT 000 565 Ul 8 is removed therefrom from the water and there is more moisture between the contact electrodes 88 and 90, the contact electrode 90 is separated from the positive potential of the contact electrode 88, which Block Transisto-5 xen 92 and 94 and the load current through transistor 94 is interrupted. This advantageously creates a possibility for the device 2 to switch itself on whenever it comes into contact with the washing or cleaning liquid. It is therefore not necessary 10 to provide a switch to be watertight on the outside of the housing 8 or to divide the housing 8 into two calottes which can be separated from one another in order to be able to actuate a switch arranged in the interior of the housing 8 if necessary. 15

For recharging the batteries 14, 16, 76 and 78, the recording comb 84 is used together with the induction coil 82. Figures 6 and 7 show an embodiment of such a charger and a combination of 20 charger and washing or cleaning device. 'w

According to FIGS. 6 and 7, the charger 96 consists of a case which in the example is rectangular in shape and has a base area 100, a column-shaped extension 104 being formed on an area 102 facing away from the base area 100. In the embodiment of the charger 96 shown in FIG. 6, the extension 104 has a circular cylinder shape, the outer diameter of the extension 104 being adapted to the inside diameter of the receiving chamber 84 of the housing 30 8 in such a way that the extension 104 is free of play in the air Receiving chamber 84 can be inserted. Also, the length of the extension 104 is dimensioned such that it essentially corresponds to the depth of the receiving chamber 84. 35 Inside the extension 104 is an induction coil, which serves as an inductive transmitter. If the housing 8 with its receiving chamber 84 is placed on the charger 96 18 AT 000 565 Ul in such a way that the extension 104 comes to rest in the receiving chamber 84, the inductive transmitter coil is inside the extension 104 and the coil 82 acting as a receiver coil Outside of the receiving chamber 84 in the neighborhood of 5 bars.

Inside the charger 96 or the housing. 98 there is corresponding electronics which can recognize the charge status of the batteries 14, 16, 76 and 78 and, in the case of detection that these batteries need recharging, activates the induction coil in the extension 104. This can optionally be indicated by a light-emitting diode 106 formed on the surface 102. The light-emitting diode 106 has, for example, red color, which indicates to the user 15 that a charging process is taking place. During the charging process, the emitted power from the transmitter coil in the continuation2 104 is received by the receiver coil 82, so that this coil 82 supplies a corresponding charging voltage or a charging current that is prepared and regulated accordingly by the electronics on the board 72 20 and then the Batteries 14, 16, 76 and 78 is supplied. The charge status of the rechargeable batteries can be checked or checked via LED 74 or another optical display means, as soon as the charging process is complete, another LED 108 can be activated on surface 25 1Ό2, for example with a green color, while the red one LSD 106 goes out, so that a user is optically clearly indicated that the charging process has been completed and the device 2 according to the invention is ready for use. 30 m

The use of the charger 96 according to the invention with inductive charging in the interior of the housing 8 offers the considerable advantage that, in contrast to the embodiment, for example according to FIGS. 1 and 2, the housing can be fully encapsulated from 35, thus no longer consists of two calottes to be joined together must exist. Leakage problems can thus be reliably avoided. 19 AT 000 565 Ul. Furthermore, in connection with the automatic switch-on and switch-off device according to FIG. 5, this makes handling and use extremely simple and remote controls can practically not occur. 5

FIG. 7 shows a combination according to the invention of the charger 96 and the device 2. FIG. 7 also shows the configuration of rib-like or web-like projections 110 / which are formed on the outer surface of the housing 8 from FIGS. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the projections 110 are curved in an S-shape and are equidistant / i.e. evenly spaced from the lower 2 around the upper pole of the housing 8. In addition to an interesting and optically appealing outer of the housing 15 8, the projections 110 increase the surface of the housing 8 so that the vibrations or vibrations coupling of. the housing 8 intensifies i3t to the surrounding washing or cleaning liquid. Furthermore, due to the spherical shape of the housing 8, there is an even 20 'vibration or oscillation radiation in all three axes without any disturbing interferences or deletions, so that the housing 8 is ultimately to be regarded as a spot or spot radiator. Fine as well as uniform vibration transmission is guaranteed here.

In addition to the charging and control electronics necessary for the charging process, there are further electronic components on the circuit board 72, for example a chip 30 with which a specific washing program can be carried out. The chip can be designed, for example, as a so-called ROM (read-only memory) and information contained in the ROM is able to vary the time, for example the speed of the motor 12 or the oscillation frequency of the oscillating-arm motor 46, and / or the energy supply to interrupt the motors 12 and 46 after a certain period of time to a 20 AT 000 565 Ul

Avoid deep discharge of the batteries. In the latter case, an additional deep ent 1 ades chut z electro technology can also be provided. 5 It goes without saying that the exemplary embodiments described above and shown in the drawing are to be understood as purely illustrative 2u. Modifications of this, as well as combinations of the illustrated embodiments, are of course possible without departing from the framework of the present invention. For example, the chambers 30 in FIGS. 1 and 2 can be dispensed with if the additional introduction of washing, rinsing or cleaning aids is not desired or necessary. Rice pie way can. Additional oxygen is introduced into the water by means of conventional oxygen tablets or granules containing oxygen, which are introduced together with the device 2 into the washing or cleaning liquid containing the objects to be cleaned contained therein. The feature of inductive charging can of course also be used in the embodiments of FIGS. 1 and 2, and likewise in the embodiments of FIGS. 3 and 4 an additional strong magnet can be arranged at a suitable point in the interior of the housing 8 , although the magnet of the 25 vibration arm motor 46 already generates a comparatively strong magnetic field. The shape or the course of the rib-like projections 110 is not limited to the S-shaped curved course shown in FIG. 7; the projections 110 can also run, for example, in a completely straight line 30 between the lower and the upper pole of the spherical housing 8. 21
