  • the invention also relates to a complete assembly, including not only the metering device itself but also a reserve of liquid product to be dispensed, which can be accommodated in a washing machine with vertical or front loading.
  • liquid detergent In a washing machine, in particular a washing machine, it is usual to add to the water directed to the tank, during the successive stages of a programmed washing cycle, various products or additives in the form of liquid or powder, such as: liquid detergent, fabric softener, detergent powder, etc.
  • the invention is more particularly concerned with the problem of storage and distribution of liquid detergent.
  • a liquid product dispenser for a washing machine comprising a liquid product reservoir and in relation to this reservoir, a metering device with a hollow body, movable along a substantially vertical axis between a rest position, making the reservoir communicate with the interior of the hollowed-out body for filling the latter, and a working position, making the interior of this body communicate with the space located downstream of the dispenser to release a dose of liquid product in the washing machine, said body being integral with a mobile magnetic core cooperating with an electromagnet mounted fixed, the excitation of which causes the passage from the rest position to the working position.
  • the present invention aims to eliminate all of these drawbacks, by providing a liquid product dispenser for a washing machine, with a reserve of liquid avoiding filling with each detergent, which makes it possible to dose accurately and distribute directly the quantities of product necessary for washing. , while allowing easy access to all the functional parts of the system so as to facilitate their cleaning if necessary.
  • the liquid product tank and the metering device located under the tank, constitute a removable assembly designed to be placed in a corresponding housing of a block or module. for dispensing washing products or additives, or for being extracted from said housing, while the electromagnet is mounted fixed in the block or distribution module.
  • the aforementioned housing comprises, to delimit the location of the metering device, a plastic wall providing electrical insulation and sealing against the electromagnet, while allowing the passage of the magnetic field for the attraction of the mobile core secured to the body mobile recess of the dispenser.
  • the removable nature of the reservoir greatly facilitates the introduction of the liquid detergent, and eliminates any additional filling device.
  • the liquid product dispenser according to the invention is designed to be installed in the upper part of a washing machine, above the tank or the drum of the machine, so that the product released by the dispenser reaches gravity in its area of use.
  • the dispenser being located directly below the tank, and also just above the tank of the washing machine to which it can be connected by a conduit of short length and large diameter, the risks of sticking, clogging and odors are eliminated.
  • the withdrawal of the tank being accompanied by that of the dispenser, it becomes easy to clean periodically the tank and also the doser by simple washing, if necessary, to prevent the usual problems of sticking or clogging.
  • the cleaning of the dispenser can be further facilitated by providing a separable connection, for example by screwing, between this dispenser and the bottom of the tank, thus allowing total access to the tank and also to the functional parts of the dispenser.
