Definitions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Blocks can be of any shape and size, e.g. B. by casting.
  • blocks do not dust and cannot leak on the one hand and must be transported in easily stackable packaging on the other hand.
  • block-shaped detergents can be produced in a way that is clearly different from competitive products.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a grinder preferably a grater disk that is adequate for the shredding of soap
  • 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.
  • metering is also advantageous at the point at which the block-shaped detergent is fed piece by piece to the comminution device.
  • magazines are preferred in which the detergent blocks are sorted, e.g. B.
  • 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.
  • the metering is only regulated by the drive power supplied to the comminution device.
  • Fig. 1 shows a block diagram with the successive stations in the manufacture and processing of detergent blocks.
  • the starting product 1 is produced for transport, storage, etc. in the form of blocks 2. It arrives in a magazine 3 as a block form.
  • the blocks 2 are passed on from the magazine 3 into a mill or another comminution device 4.
  • Devices 3 and 4 can be combined as magazine grinder 5. Any number, e.g. B. several daily rations of detergent blocks.
  • the single block arrives in a shredder 4 and is there, for. B. with a rasp, processed into small chips easily dissolvable in the dispenser of a washing machine.
  • the detergent can be introduced directly along the path 6 or via a dispersion unit 7 into the washing-in chamber of a washing machine 8.
  • An injector or nozzle system is preferably used as the dispersing unit 7.
  • Fig. 2 shows the basic structure of an inventive Detergent dosing device with a magazine 3 containing detergent blocks 9, with a mill 4 to be driven by a motor 10, with a dispersing unit 7 supplied with water 11 and with the washing machine 8.
  • the detergent blocks 9 are fed to the magazine 3 in the direction of arrow 12 from above, they arrive fine divided from the mill 4 in the direction of the arrow 13 to the dispersing unit 7 and from this in the direction of the arrow 14 into the dispenser of a washing machine 8.
  • the shape of the detergent blocks 9 is not of critical importance. For example, cylinder or square bars are possible. Depending on the performance of the magazine mill 5 or depending on the needs of the downstream washing machine 8, blocks with weights of 50 to 5000 g can be provided. The size of the detergent blocks 9 also depends on whether an application is intended for private or commercial use.
  • FIG. 3 shows three different magazine types 3a, 3b and 3c.
  • the detergent blocks 9 are individually one above the other in a magazine shaft 15.
  • punches 16 as in FIGS. 3a and 3c, or metering wheels 17 as in FIG. 3b can be provided.
  • the magazines 3a and 3b meter the respective due detergent block 9 into a downstream comminution device 4, a comminution device, in particular a comminution press 18, is already integrated into the magazine 3c in the manner of a magazine mill 5 (FIG. 1).
  • the comminuted detergent particles pass along the lines 14a and 14b to the induction chamber 19 Washing machine 8.
  • the block dosing device according to the invention can be used both for household washing machines and for commercial laundry systems. As in the case of known metering devices for powdery or liquid detergents, in this case also several washing machines can be switched simultaneously to a metering device consisting of magazine 3, mill 4 and optionally dispersion unit 7 within an overall control of the laundry system. Methods and machines that are listed in the German industry standard DIN 24 100 parts 1 and 2 can also be used for shredding.
