Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Abfüllen und Dosieren von Reinigungsmitteln gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1. Eine solche Vorrichtung ist aus FR-A-2 574 061 bekannt.The invention relates to a device for filling and dosing detergents according to the preamble of claim 1. Such a device is known from FR-A-2 574 061.

Bisher war es üblich, im Rahmen der Gebäudereinigung die notwendigen Reinigungsmittel jeweils in handhabungsgerechten Kleinbehältern in großen Stückzahlen zu bevorraten, Behälter für Behälter zu verbrauchen und anschließend wegzuwerfen. Dies ist aufgrund der großen anfallenden Müllmenge nicht mehr umweltgerecht. Es wurde daher bereits dazu übergangen, die Reinigungsmittel in größeren Behältern anzuliefern, zu bevorraten und entsprechend handhabungsgerechte Mengen in wiederverwendbare Kleinbehälter umzufüllen. Auch dabei fällt bei einem entsprechend hohen Verbrauch an Reinigungsmitteln eine große Restmullmenge bedingt durch die weggeworfenen Vorratsbehälter an. Ein weiterer Schritt zu einer umweltgerechteren Lösung wurde getätigt, indem die Reinigungsmittel in konzentrierter Form in Vorratsbehältern angeliefert und daraus unter entsprechender Verdünnung mit 'Wasser in handhabungsgerechte Kleinbehälter abgefüllt wurden. Dies ist problematisch, da es dabei zu Fehldosierungen und Fehlanwendungen kommen kann.Until now, it was customary to store the necessary cleaning agents in large quantities in small containers suitable for handling, to consume containers for containers and then to throw them away. Due to the large amount of waste generated, this is no longer environmentally friendly. It has therefore already begun to deliver the cleaning agents in larger containers, to store them and to fill them into reusable small containers in accordance with the appropriate handling quantities. Here too, with a correspondingly high consumption of cleaning agents, a large amount of residual waste arises due to the discarded storage containers. A further step towards a more environmentally friendly solution was made by delivering the cleaning agents in a concentrated form in storage containers and filling them with appropriate dilution with water in small containers suitable for handling. This is problematic since incorrect dosing and incorrect use can result.

Eine Verbesserung wird insoweit gemäß WO-A-91 14 647 erreicht. Dort ist es jedoch erforderlich, im Bedarfsfall jeweils durch Betätigung eines Druckknopfes eine Verbindung zur Wasserversorgung herzustellen.In this respect, an improvement is achieved according to WO-A-91 14 647. There, however, it is necessary, if necessary, to establish a connection to the water supply by actuating a push button.

Davon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zum Abfüllen und Dosieren von Reinigungsmitteln anzugeben, mit der auf einfache und sichere Weise eine gebrauchsgerechte Verdünnung der Reinigungsmittelkonzentrate und deren Abfüllung in handhabungsgerechte Kleinbehälter möglich ist, wobei das Wasser zur Verdünnung einer Trinkwasserleitung entnehmbar sein soll.Proceeding from this, the invention has for its object to provide a device for filling and dosing detergents, with which a simple and safe dilution of the detergent concentrates and their filling in small containers suitable for handling is possible, the water for the dilution of a drinking water pipe should be removable .

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Kennzeichnungsteil des Anspruches 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Demnach ist es vorgesehen, Vorratsbehälter für Reinigungsmittelkonzentrate unterhalb einer in Arbeitshöhe angebrachten Arbeitsplatte anzuordnen, wobei jeder Behälter mit einer Dosiereinrichtung verbunden, jede Dosiereinrichtung ihrerseits mit einem Druck-Wasser-Anschluß versehen und jeder Dosiereinrichtung ein oberhalb der Arbeitsplatte ausmündender Auslaßstutzen nachgeordnet ist, aus dem von der Dosiereinrichtung aus Konzentrat und Wasser angemischtes Reinigungsmittel gebrauchsfertig entnehmbar ist.This object is achieved by the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1. Accordingly, it is provided to arrange storage containers for detergent concentrates below a worktop mounted at working height, whereby each container is connected to a metering device, each metering device in turn is provided with a pressurized water connection, and each metering device is followed by an outlet nozzle opening above the worktop, from which the dosing device made of concentrate and water mixed detergent is ready to use.

Dabei ist es möglich, verschiedene Reinigungsmittelkonzentrate für unterschiedliche Reinigungsaufgaben - wie beispielsweise Bodenreinigung, Fensterreinigung und dergleichen - vorzusehen und über jeweils getrennte Dosiereinrichtungen die entsprechend verdünnten Reinigungsmittel herzustellen. Das erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene Rückschlagventil sorgt dafür, daß beim Auftreten eines Unterdruckes im Wasserversorgungssystem nicht an sich zu dosierendes Reinigungsmittel in das Wasserleitungssystem abgesaugt wird. Es ist also abolut sichergestellt, daß trotz eines gegebenenfalls vorgesehenen Anschlusses an das Trinkwassernetz eine Verunreinigung desselben in jedem Fall unterbunden wird. Dabei ist die Vorrichtung besonders einfach bedienbar, wobei gleichzeitig ein exakt dosiertes Reinigungsmittel der gewünschten Art - also beispielsweise ein Boden- oder Fenster-Reiniger - erhalten wird.It is possible to provide different cleaning agent concentrates for different cleaning tasks - such as floor cleaning, window cleaning and the like - and to produce the correspondingly diluted cleaning agents via separate metering devices. The check valve provided according to the invention ensures that when a negative pressure occurs in the water supply system, detergent which is not itself to be metered is sucked into the water pipe system. It is absolutely guaranteed that, despite a connection to the drinking water network that may be provided, contamination of the drinking water network is prevented in any case. The device is particularly easy to use, and at the same time an exactly metered cleaning agent of the desired type - for example a floor or window cleaner - is obtained.

Durch die Ausgestaltung der Vorrichtung nach Anspruch 2 in Form eines Regales oder Schrankes erhält die Vorrichtung den Charakter einer aufgeräumt aussehenden und geordneten Abfüllstation.The design of the device according to claim 2 in the form of a shelf or cabinet gives the device the character of a tidy-looking and orderly filling station.

Die Ansprüche 3 bis 6 kennzeichnen vorteilhatte Weiterbildungen der Vorrichtung betreffend den Auslaßstuzen, die Arbeitsplatte und den Druck-Wasser-Anschluß.Claims 3 to 6 characterize advantageous developments of the device relating to the outlet nozzle, the worktop and the pressurized water connection.

Durch die Ausgestaltung der Vorrichtung nach Anspruch 7 wird ein besonders großes Vorratsvolumen für Reinigungsmittelkonzentrat geschaffen, so daß sich die Zahl der erforderlichen Anlieferungsvorgänge an Reinigungsmittelkonzentrat erheblich reduziert.By designing the device according to claim 7, a particularly large supply volume for detergent concentrate is created, so that the number of required delivery processes of detergent concentrate is considerably reduced.

Weiterhin kann günstigenweise gemäß Anspruch 8 eine Druckminderungseinrichtung vorgesehen sein, welche es ermöglicht, den optimalen Dosierdruck im Bereich zwischen 2,5 und 3,5 bar einzustellen. Dies ist insbesondere dann wichtig, wenn, wie dies in größeren Unternehmen der Fall ist, ein relativ hoher Druck in der Wasserleitung herrscht.Furthermore, a pressure reducing device can advantageously be provided, which makes it possible to set the optimum metering pressure in the range between 2.5 and 3.5 bar. This is particularly important if, as is the case in larger companies, there is a relatively high pressure in the water pipe.

Gemäß Anspruch 9 kann der Druckminderungseinrichtung eine Druckanzeigeeinrichtung bzw. eine Druckeinstelleinrichtung zugeordnet sein, um einen bestimmten, optimalen Druck einzustellen und anzuzeigen.According to claim 9, the pressure reduction device can be assigned a pressure display device or a pressure setting device in order to set and display a specific, optimal pressure.

Um zu verhindern, daß bei einem Platzen des Hochdruckschlauches das unter Druck stehende Wasser ungebremst ausläuft, kann am Anfang des Hochdruckschlauches entsprechend Anspruch 10 eine Schlauchplatz-Sicherungseinrichtung angeordnet sein, wie sie z.B. für Waschmaschinen bekannt ist.In order to prevent the pressurized water from leaking unchecked when the high-pressure hose bursts, a hose location safety device can be arranged at the beginning of the high-pressure hose, as is e.g. is known for washing machines.

Gemäß Anspruch 11 ist zur Verhinderung der unbefugten Entnahme von Reinigungsmittel-Vorratsbehälten vorgesehen, daß der Unterschrank mit absperrbaren Türen versehen ist.According to claim 11 is provided to prevent unauthorized removal of detergent storage containers that the base cabinet is provided with lockable doors.

Gemaß Anspruch 12 kann schließlich noch vorgesehen sein, daß z.B. zwei der Vorratsbehälter miteinander verbunden und über eine gemeinsame nachgeordnete Dosiereinrichtung anzapfbar. Hierdurch ist es z.B. möglich, einem Allzweckreiniger, der in einem Behälter untergebracht ist und als solcher in entsprechender Verdünnung auch eingesetzt wird, ein Glanzmittel zuzusetzen, um so einen gebrauchsfertigen Glanzreiniger zu erzeugen.According to claim 12 it can finally be provided that e.g. two of the storage containers are connected to one another and can be tapped via a common downstream metering device. This makes it e.g. it is possible to add a rinse aid to an all-purpose cleaner, which is housed in a container and is used as such in a corresponding dilution, in order to produce a ready-to-use gloss cleaner.

Weitere Merkmale, Einzelheiten und Vorteile der Erfindung sind der nachfolgenden Beschreibung entnehmbar, in der ein Ausführungsbeispiel des Erfindungsgegenstandes anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnung näher erläutert wird.Further features, details and advantages of the invention can be gathered from the following description, in which an exemplary embodiment of the subject matter of the invention is explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawing.

Die beiliegende Zeichnung zeigt eine erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung in schematischer, perspektivischer Darstellung.The accompanying drawing shows a device according to the invention in a schematic, perspective representation.

Die Vorrichtung zum Abfüllen und Dosieren von Reinigungsmitteln gemäß der Zeichnung weist einen mit einem Regalboden 1 versehenen Unterschrank 2 auf, dessen Oberseite eine Arbeitsplatte 3 bildet. Die Arbeitsplatte 3 ist auf ihrer Oberseite mit einer dünnen Edelstahlabdeckung (nicht gezeigt) versehen. Der besseren Übersichtlichkeit halber sind die Türen des Unterschrankes 2 weggelassen.The device for filling and dosing detergents according to the drawing has a base cabinet 2 provided with a shelf 1, the top of which forms a worktop 3. The worktop 3 is provided on its top with a thin stainless steel cover (not shown). For the sake of clarity, the doors of the base cabinet 2 have been omitted.

Auf dem Unterschrank 2 ist ein Aufsatz 4 angeordnet, der einen im wesentlichen allseitig geschlossenen Kasten 5 aufweist, der über seitliche Wangen 6 mit deutlichem Abstand oberhalb der Arbeitsplatte 3 angeordnet ist. Zwischen dem Kasten 5, den Wangen 6 und der Arbeitsplatte 3 ist somit ein Abstellbereich für handhabungsgerechte Klein-Reinigungsmittelbehälter geschaffen.On the base cabinet 2 there is an attachment 4 which has a box 5 which is essentially closed on all sides and which is arranged above the worktop 3 at a considerable distance via lateral cheeks 6. Between the box 5, the cheeks 6 and the worktop 3, a storage area for handling small detergent containers is created.

Ergänzend ist zu erwähnen, daß der Aufsatz 4 mit einer als Arbeitsplatte fungierenden Platte zwischen den Unterseiten der Wangen 6 auch losgelöst vom Unterschrank 2 als Wand- oder Tischgerät eingesetzt werden kann.In addition, it should be mentioned that the top 4 with a plate acting as a worktop between the undersides of the cheeks 6 can also be used detached from the base cabinet 2 as a wall or table device.

Im Kasten 5 sind drei Dosiereinrichtungen 7 eingebaut, die jeweils über geeignet geführte Schläuche 8 mit jeweils einem der auf dem Regalzwischenboden 1 stehenden Vorratsbehälter 9 für verschiedene Reinigungsmittelkonzentrate verbunden sind. Weiterhin sind die Dosiereinrichtungen 7 gemeinsam über eine Steckkupplung 10 mit einem Hochdruckschlauch 11 als Druck-Wasser-Anschluß verbunden, der zu einem üblichen Wasserleitungsanschluß (nicht dargestellt) führt. Weiterhin führt von den Dosiereinrichtungen 7 jeweils ein als Schlauch 12 ausgebildeter Auslaßstutzen nach unten aus dem Kasten 5 heraus, wobei die Schläuche 12 oberhalb der Arbeitsplatte 3 im Stellbereich für die Klein-Reinigungsmittelbehälter ausmünden. Die innerhalb des Kastens 5 angeordneten Dosiereinrichtungen 7 sind weiterhin über jeweils einen Druckknopf 13 von der Außenseite des Kastens 5 her betätigbar. Jeder Druckknopf ist dabei einem bestimmten Reinigungsmittel - z.B. Boden- oder Fensterreiniger - zugeordnet.In box 5, three metering devices 7 are installed, each of which is connected via suitably guided hoses 8 to one of the storage containers 9 for different cleaning agent concentrates standing on the intermediate shelf 1. Furthermore, the metering devices 7 are connected together via a plug-in coupling 10 to a high-pressure hose 11 as a pressure-water connection, which leads to a conventional water line connection (not shown). Furthermore, each of the dosing devices 7 is designed as a hose 12 outlet port down out of the box 5, the hoses 12 opening above the worktop 3 in the setting area for the small detergent containers. The metering devices 7 arranged inside the box 5 can also be actuated from the outside of the box 5 by means of a push button 13. Each push button is a specific cleaning agent - e.g. Floor or window cleaner - assigned.

Es ist darauf hinzuweisen, daß die elektrischen Anschlüsse der Dosiereinrichtungen 7 in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellt sind.It should be noted that the electrical connections of the metering devices 7 are not shown in the drawing.

Bei der Anwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung wird einer der Schläuche 12 in einen auf der Arbeitsplatte 3 abgestellten Klein-Reinigungsmittelbehältet hineingesteckt. Bei einer Betätigung des entsprechend zugeordneten Druckknopfes 13 saugt die mit einer Pumpe versehene Dosiereinrichtung 7 jeweils entsprechende Mengen von Reinigungsmittelkonzentrat über den Schlauch 8 aus dem entsprechenden Vorratsbehälter und mischt Wasser aus dem Hochdruckschlauch 11 in einen auf das jeweilige Reinigungsmittel abgestimmten, exakt definierten Mischungsverhältnis zu. Sobald der Druckknopf 13 losgelassen wird, wird der Konzentrat- bzw. Wasserfluß unterbrochen und kein Reinigungsmittel mehr abgegeben.When using the device according to the invention, one of the hoses 12 is inserted into a small detergent container placed on the worktop 3. When the correspondingly assigned push button 13 is actuated, the metering device 7 provided with a pump sucks respective amounts of detergent concentrate through the hose 8 from the corresponding storage container and mixes water from the high-pressure hose 11 into a precisely defined mixture ratio that is matched to the respective detergent. As soon as the push button 13 is released, the concentrate or water flow is interrupted and no more detergent is dispensed.

Unterhalb des Regalzwischenbodens 1, der einen ersten Vorratsbereich 14 für die angeschlossenen Vorratsbehälter 9 bildet, ist ein weiterer Vorratsbereich 15 vorhanden, in dem nicht angeschlossene Vorratsbehälter 9' aufbewahrt werden können.Below the intermediate shelf 1, which forms a first storage area 14 for the connected storage containers 9 there is a further storage area 15 in which storage tanks 9 'which are not connected can be stored.

Am Anfang des Hochdruckschlauches 11 ist eine Schlauchplatz-Sicherungseinrichtung 18 angeordnet, welche im Falle einer Schlauchbeschädigung das Auslaufen von Wasser verhindert. Am Ende des Hochdruckschlauches 11 gesehen in Richtung auf die Vorrichtung zu ist ein Rückschlagventil 19 angeordnet, so daß zuverlässig verhindert wird, daß beim Auftreten eines Unterdruckes in dem Hochdruckschlauch 11 bzw. in dem vorgeschalteten Wasserleitungssystem Reinigungsflüssigkeit aus den Behältern 9 in das Frischwassersystem gelangt.At the beginning of the high-pressure hose 11 there is a hose location safety device 18 which prevents water from escaping in the event of hose damage. A check valve 19 is arranged at the end of the high-pressure hose 11 in the direction of the device, so that cleaning liquid from the containers 9 into the fresh water system is reliably prevented when a negative pressure occurs in the high-pressure hose 11 or in the upstream water line system.

Dem Rückschlagventil 19 ist eine Druckminderungseinrichtung 16 mit einer Druckanzeigeeinrichtung 17 nachgeordnet, so daß auch bei dem Vorherrschen eines relativ hohen Drucks im Wasserleitungssystem der optimale Dosierdruck eingestellt werden kann.The check valve 19 is followed by a pressure reducing device 16 with a pressure display device 17, so that the optimal metering pressure can be set even when a relatively high pressure prevails in the water supply system.
