Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Waschmitteldosiervorrichtung einer Waschmaschine mit in einem Vorlagebehälter bereitgehaltenen Waschmittelvorrat und mit einer dem Vorlagebehälter zugeordneten Dosiermechanik zum Versorgen der Einspülkammer einer Waschmaschine.The invention relates to a detergent dosing device of a washing machine with a detergent supply kept in a storage container and with a dosing mechanism assigned to the storage container for supplying the washing-in chamber of a washing machine.
In der DE 37 21 381.4 wird eine Pulverdosiervorrichtung einer Waschmaschine zum Portionieren von Reinigungspulver aus einem Vorlagebehälter in einen Ausspülraum vorgeschlagen. Die bekannte Vorrichtung ist so ausgebildet, daß sie nicht nur einwandfrei rieselfähiges sondern auch Waschmittel mit Schollen, Klumpen oder dergleichen dosiert. Dazu werden ausreichend große Dosierlöcher im Boden des Vorlagebehälters, je ein mit Abstand unter den Dosierlöchern befestigter Auffangteller und eine im Raum zwischen der Unterseite des Bodens sowie den Auffangtellern bewegliche, die Tellerfläche im wesentlichen überstreichende Abstreifmechanik vorgesehen.DE 37 21 381.4 proposes a powder metering device of a washing machine for portioning cleaning powder from a storage container into a rinsing space. The known device is designed so that it doses not only free-flowing but also detergent with clods, lumps or the like. For this purpose, sufficiently large dosing holes are made in the bottom of the storage container, one collecting plate attached at a distance below the dosing holes and one in the space between the underside of the bottom as well as the scraper mechanism movable, essentially sweeping over the plate surface.
Neben dem Einsatz von Waschmitteln in pulverförmiger, flüssiger oder in pastoser Form besteht die Möglichkeit, Waschmittel in Blockform zu verwenden. Blöcke lassen sich in beliebigen Formen und Abmessungen, z. B. durch Gießen, herstellen. Beim Umgang mit Waschmittelblöcken ergeben sich erhebliche Vorteile, da Blöcke einerseits nicht stauben und nicht auslaufen können und andererseits in gut stapelbaren Verpackungen zu transportieren sind. Für die Ausbildung des Waschmittels in Blockform sprechen auch wettbewerbliche Gründe, da blockförmige Waschmittel sich deutlich unterschieden von Wettbewerbsprodukten herstellen lassen.In addition to the use of detergents in powder, liquid or pasty form, it is also possible to use detergents in block form. Blocks can be of any shape and size, e.g. B. by casting. When dealing with detergent blocks, there are considerable advantages, since blocks do not dust and cannot leak on the one hand and must be transported in easily stackable packaging on the other hand. There are also competitive reasons for the formation of the detergent in block form, since block-shaped detergents can be produced in a way that is clearly different from competitive products.
Ein Problem bei der Anwendung von Waschmittelblöcken besteht darin, daß die Blöcke nur mit großem Aufwand an Wasser und Zeit aufzulösen sowie in die Waschmaschinen einzuspülen sind. In der EP-OS 20 709 wird ein Verteiler für ein in Blockform vorliegendes Reinigungsmittel beschrieben. Dieses wird noch mit seiner Gußformschale in den dafür vorgesehenen Aufnahmebehälter gesetzt und bei Anwendung mit Wasser umspült. Zum Dosieren könnte zwar auch ein Gerät nach Art der oben genannten, auch Schollen oder Klumpen verarbeitenden Dosiervorrichtung verwendet werden, die in einer Waschmaschine nötige hohe Konzentration der Waschlauge ließe sich dadurch aber nicht ohne weiteres schnell genug einstellen.A problem with the use of detergent blocks is that the blocks can only be dissolved with great expenditure of water and time and can be washed into the washing machines. EP-OS 20 709 describes a distributor for a detergent in block form. This is still placed with its mold shell in the designated receptacle and washed around with water when used. A metering device of the type mentioned above, which also processes clods or lumps, could be used for metering, but the high concentration of the washing liquor required in a washing machine could not be adjusted quickly enough as a result.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Waschmitteldosiervorrichtung zu schaffen, die auch auf die Verarbeitung blockförmig vorgegebenen Waschmittels anwendbar ist und mit deren Hilfe sich die höchste im Programm gewünschte Waschlaugenkonzentration ebenso schnell wie bei Verwendung von Waschpulver einstellen läßt. Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung besteht für die eingangs genannte Waschmitteldosiervorrichtung mit in einem Vorlagebehälter bereitgehaltenem Waschmittelvorrat und mit einer dem Vorlagebehälter zugeordneter Dosiermechanik darin, daß der Vorlagebehälter als Magazin zur Aufnahme von Waschmittel in Blockform ausgebildet ist und daß als Dosiermechanik ein, dem Magazin nachgeschaltetes Zerkleinerungsgerät zum mechanischen Zerkleinern, insbesondere zum Mahlen, der Waschmittelblöcke vorgesehen ist.The invention has for its object to provide a detergent dosing device, which also applies to processing Block-shaped detergent can be used and with the help of which the highest wash liquor concentration desired in the program can be set just as quickly as when using washing powder. The solution according to the invention for the above-mentioned detergent dosing device with a detergent supply held in a storage container and with a dosing mechanism assigned to the storage container is that the storage container is designed as a magazine for holding detergent in block form and that a dosing device downstream of the magazine for mechanical shredding is used as the dosing mechanism , in particular for grinding, the detergent blocks is provided.
Durch die Erfindung wird erreicht, daß der Einspülkammer der Waschmaschine trotz Verwendung der vorteilhaften Lieferform von Waschmittelblöcken stets nur fein zerteiltes und daher im Wasser leicht aufzulösendes Waschmittel, insbesondere in Pulver-, Granulat- oder Schnitzelform, zuzuleiten ist. Je nach Typ des Waschmittels, des Zerkleinerungsgerätes oder der Aufgabe in der Waschmaschine kann dem Zerkleinerungsgerät noch eine Dispergiereinheit nachgeschaltet werden, derart, daß das zerkleinerte Waschmittel bereits angelöst oder aufgelöst in die Einspülkammer der Maschine gelangt.With the invention it is achieved that despite the use of the advantageous delivery form of detergent blocks, the detergent dispenser of the washing machine is always only finely divided and therefore easy to dissolve in the detergent, in particular in powder, granule or schnitzel form. Depending on the type of detergent, the shredder or the task in the washing machine, the shredder can be followed by a dispersion unit such that the shredded detergent is already dissolved or dissolved in the washing-up chamber of the machine.
Gemäß weiterer Erfindung wird als Zerkleinerungsgerät eine Mühle, vorzugsweise eine dem Zerkleinern von Seife adäquate Raspelscheibe, mit einem der gewünschten Dosierung entsprechend beaufschlagten Antriebsmotor vorgesehen. Ein wesentlicher Vorteil dieser Art der Steuerung besteht darin, daß die Zufuhr fein verteilten Waschmittels zur Einspülkammer der Waschmaschine gerade an der Stelle des Produktlaufs vorgenommen wird, an der die außerhalb der Maschine günstige Blockform in die innerhalb der Maschine günstige Feinteilchenform umgewandelt wird. Grundsätzlich ist eine Dosierung aber auch an der Stelle vorteilhaft, an der das blockförmige Waschmittel stückweise dem Zerkleinerungsgerät zugeführt wird. Im letzteren Fall werden Magazine bevorzugt, in denen die Waschmittelblöcke sortiert, z. B. in einem Schacht einzeln übereinander, liegen und mit einem Schieber oder einem Schrittschaltwerk dem Bedarf entsprechend dem Zerkleinerungsgerät zugeführt werden. Das Magazin selbst kann schließlich auch vorteilhaft, raumsparend an seinem Ausgang bereits mit einem Zerkleinerungsmittel ausgestattet werden, so daß das Zerkleinerungsgerät letztlich in das Magazin integriert ist.According to a further invention, a grinder, preferably a grater disk that is adequate for the shredding of soap, is provided as a shredding device with a drive motor that is loaded with the desired dosage. A major advantage of this type of control is that the supply of finely divided detergent to the washing-up chamber of the washing machine is precisely at the point of the product run is carried out at which the block shape which is favorable outside the machine is converted into the fine particle form which is favorable inside the machine. Basically, however, metering is also advantageous at the point at which the block-shaped detergent is fed piece by piece to the comminution device. In the latter case, magazines are preferred in which the detergent blocks are sorted, e.g. B. individually in a shaft one above the other, and are fed with a slider or a stepper according to the need according to the shredder. Finally, the magazine itself can also be advantageously equipped with a comminution means at its exit in a space-saving manner, so that the comminution device is ultimately integrated into the magazine.
In einem einfachsten Fall wird die Dosierung lediglich durch die dem Zerkleinerungsgerät zugeführte Antriebsleistung geregelt. In diesem Fall kann es genügen, die Waschmittelblöcke auf den Eingang einer Raspel bzw. Mühle aufzulegen und dieses Gerät mit einer solchen Geschwindigkeit anzutreiben, daß gerade die gewünschte Menge an Waschmittel in Teilchenform pro Zeiteinheit an die Einspülkammer der Waschmaschine geliefert wird.In the simplest case, the metering is only regulated by the drive power supplied to the comminution device. In this case, it may be sufficient to place the detergent blocks on the entrance of a grater or grinder and to drive this device at such a speed that the desired amount of detergent in particle form per unit of time is delivered to the washing-up chamber of the washing machine.

Fig. 1 zeigt ein Blockbild mit den aufeinanderfolgenden Stationen beim Herstellen und Verarbeitungen von Waschmittelblöcken. Das Ausgangsprodukt 1 wird für den Transport, die Lagerung usw. in Form von Blöcken 2 hergestellt. Als Blockform gelangt es in ein Magazin 3. Aus dem Magazin 3 werden die Blöcke 2 in eine Mühle oder ein sonstiges Zerkleinerungsgerät 4 weitergeleitet. Die Geräte 3 und 4 können als Magazin-Mühle 5 kombiniert werden. In dem Magazin 3 kann eine beliebige Anzahl, z. B. mehrere Tagesrationen, von Waschmittelblöcken bevorratet werden. Aus dem Magazin 3 gelangt der einzelne Block in ein Zerkleinerungsgerät 4 und wird dort, z. B. mit einer Raspelscheibe, zu kleinen in der Einspülkammer einer Waschmaschine leicht aufzulösenden Schnitzeln verarbeitet. Je nach Rezeptur der Waschmittelblöcke bzw. nach Form der Produktschnitzel kann das Waschmittel direkt längs des Weges 6 oder über eine Dispergiereinheit 7 in die Einspülkammer einer Waschmaschine 8 eingebracht werden. Als Dispergiereinheit 7, kommt vorzugsweise ein Injektor- oder Düsensystem infrage.Fig. 1 shows a block diagram with the successive stations in the manufacture and processing of detergent blocks. The

Die Waschmittelblöcke 9 werden dem Magazin 3 in Pfeilrichtung 12 von oben zugeführt, sie gelangen fein zerteilt aus der Mühle 4 in Pfeilrichtung 13 zu der Dispergiereinheit 7 und aus dieser in Pfeilrichtung 14 in die Einspülkammer einer Waschmaschine 8.Fig. 2 shows the basic structure of an inventive Detergent dosing device with a
Im Rahmen der Erfindung ist die Form der Waschmittelblöcke 9 nicht von entscheidender Bedeutung. Es kommen beispielsweise Zylinder- oder Vierkantstangen infrage. Je nach Leistungsfähigkeit von Magazin-Mühle 5 bzw. je nach Bedarf der nachgeschalteten Waschmaschine 8 können Blöcke mit Gewichten von 50 bis 5000 g vorgesehen werden. Die Größe der Waschmittelblöcke 9 richtet sich auch danach, ob eine Anwendung im privaten oder im gewerblichen Bereich vorgesehen ist.In the context of the invention, the shape of the
Fig. 3 zeigt drei verschiedene Magazintypen 3a, 3b und 3c. In allen drei Fällen liegen die Waschmittelblöcke 9 einzeln übereinander in einem Magazinschacht 15. Zum Dosieren können seitlich bewegte Stempel 16, wie in Fig. 3a und 3c, oder Dosierräder 17 wie in Fig. 3b vorgesehen werden. Während die Magazine 3a und 3b den jeweils fälligen Waschmittelblock 9 in ein nachgeschaltetes Zerkleinerungsgerät 4 dosieren, wird in das Magazin 3c nach Art einer Magazin-Mühle 5 (Fig. 1) bereits ein Zerkleinerungsgerät, insbesondere eine Zerkleinerungspresse 18, integriert. Die zerkleinerten Waschmittelteilchen gelangen längs der Linien 14a bzw. 14b zu der Einspülkammer 19 einer Waschmaschine 8.3 shows three
Die erfindungsgemäße Blockdosiervorrichtung läßt sich sowohl für Haushaltswaschmaschinen als auch für gewerbliche Wäschereianlagen einsetzen. Ebenso wie bei bekannten Dosiereinrichtungen für pulverförmiges oder flüssiges Waschmittel lassen sich in diesem Fall auch mehrere Waschmaschinen zugleich auf eine aus Magazin 3, Mühle 4 und gegebenenfalls Dispergiereinheit 7 bestehende Dosiervorrichtung innerhalb einer Gesamtsteuerung der Wäschereianlage schalten. Für das Zerkleinern können ferner Verfahren und Maschinen zur Anwendung gelangen, die in der deutschen Industrienorm DIN 24 100 Teil 1 und 2 aufgeführt sind.The block dosing device according to the invention can be used both for household washing machines and for commercial laundry systems.
