Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improvements in/and related to devices for supplying detersives and additives to a washing machine.
  • conventional linen washing machines comprise a metering-dispenser assembly for supplying powder detersives, as well as additives and the like, into the machine washing basin.
  • the main object of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned drawbacks by providing an improved device for supplying detersives and additives to washing machines, which is adapted to assure a perfect metering of these substances or materials.
  • a main object of the present invention is to provide such an improved device for supplying detersives and additives to washing machines which is very flexible in operation, i.e. in the metering of the detersive materials.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such an improved device for supplying detersives and additives to washing machines which can be quickly and easily applied to a conventional washing machine without the need of modifying the working panel of these washing machines, that is without the need of forming openings through the working or top panel of the washing machine.
  • an improved device for supplying detersives and additives to washing machines characterized in that said device comprises a supplying drawer including a powder-detersive tray having a supplying propeller element, and an additive tray therefrom the liquid material is penumatically taken, by means of a membrane pump which is driven by pressurized water supplied by a load solenoid valve energized depending on a required dose, said detersive and additive being sent to the basin of the washing machine through a mixer apparatus.
  • the improved device for supplying detersives and additives to washing machines comprises a drawer 1 which is slidably engaged in a vessel 2 and being divided, by means of a vertical wall element 3, into two trays, respectively indicated at 4 and 5.
  • the tray 5 is so designed as to receive a given multiple dose of a so-called compact detersive, whereas the tray 5 is provided for receiving a concentrated additive.
  • a propeller supply element 6 is arranged, which is driven by an axial geared motor 7 connected to the rear wall of the vessel or housing 2 and including a plug-in joint 8 adapted to allow the supply device to operate exclusively with the drawer in its closed condition.
  • This propeller supply device will allow, through conventional mixing, breaking and propelling operations, to obtain very accurate doses and it will overcome possible drawbacks due to the hygroscopicity and heterogeneity of the detersive formulations.
  • This apparatus substantially comprises a chamber divided by a resiliently deformable membrane 12 on a side of which there is provided, in addition to the above mentioned check valve 10, a second check valve 13, with an outlet flow, whereas, on the opposite side, there is provided a perimetrical opening 14 for the inlet of pressurized water.
  • This pressurized water is supplied by a suitable solenoid valve 15 which conveys the water or liquid flow through a duct 16 to a mixing apparatus 17, and a further liquid flow, subdivided through a branch 18, into the above mentioned opening 14.
  • the pulsating flow sent into said chamber will cause the resilient membrane to reciprocate so as to suck the additive into the tray 5 during its depressurized condition, and so as to convey said additive, during its pushing condition, through the valve 13 and a duct 19 to the above mentioned mixer apparatus.
  • This mixer apparatus will receive, through the duct 20, the remaining water flow for recovering the additive and, through the propeller supplying element 6, it will aslo receive the desired detersive dose.
  • the above mentioned mixer apparatus will receive the detersive conveying water through the duct 16, the additive dose through the duct 19 and the remaining additive entraining water through the duct 20.
  • Said mixer apparatus will convey the received flows through the syphon 21 to the washing basin 22, of which there have been schematically illustrated the basket 23, as well as the pre-loading 24 and washing 25 levels.
