Definitions
- the invention relates to washing machines and dishwashers, particularly for the household, with an improved distributor in order to facilitate the filling and dosing of the cleaning agent in powder form and other substances in powder form which are used in these washing machines and dishwashers.
- This invention applies to any washing and dishwashing machine, be it for crockery or for fabric parts, for which substances are used in powder form, but it is clear that the most advantageous application takes place in laundry washing machines. Therefore, in the course of the description reference is made to a front loading laundry washing machine, it being assumed that the described and claimed with the obvious expedient changes also apply to laundry washing machines for loading from above and for dishwashers.
- Laundry washing machines with a drawer which can be pulled out from the outside are known, the drawer mentioned having a plurality of sub-compartments into which the washing powder and the other substances which are used in the various phases of the washing cycle are filled.
- the drawer is closed again after it has been filled and the washing cycle begins, which, between the various processes which take place by means of various circuits and devices which are not described in any more detail and which are known in the prior art, provides for a water jet to selectively trickle down over the sub-compartments mentioned, and these Substances in powder form are washed away and gravity-fed into the washing container.
- This occurrence of lump formation is based on three basic causes: the first reason is that these lumps already exist in the original container and are only transferred to the machine's storage container; the second reason is that the relatively large amount of detergent, which can also be stored for a long time, exerts pressure on the lower layers of the supply, which also causes the formation of lumps by the natural adhesion and compressibility of the washing powder; the third reason, which favors the two previously mentioned, is due to the increased moisture generated by the washing machine and slowly entering the storage container, which greatly increases the formation and hardening of the lumps.
- the detergent When the detergent is dosed automatically one after the other, it is poured into the above-mentioned shaft, but existing hard lumps quickly block the above-mentioned shaft and therefore impede any kind of controlled removal of the detergent.
- the filling process which is carried out by the user, is currently subject to errors in the metering and in particular in the intentional overdosing, which occurs in the unclear belief that a larger amount of detergent results in better washing quality.
- the generic US-A-25 98 227 is known.
- This document discloses a metering device for powdery substances, in which the powdery substances are stored in a storage container.
- the metering device has an agitator with which the powder is fed to a drum of a washing machine with the screw screw arranged at an outlet. With this agitator, lump formation, particularly in the edge area of the storage container, cannot be avoided.
- the figures show a section of a washing machine, consisting of a washing container 1, a work surface 2, a storage container 3 for washing powder, a lid 4 for said storage container, a funnel 5, which is arranged on the bottom of said storage container and is suitable by gravity to feed detergent dispenser 6 arranged below it.
- the storage container 3 contains a plurality of movable elements 7 for crushing the lumps of detergent, the said movable elements preferably being wheels similar to the cutting wheels, each of which is cylindrical in shape and provided with a plurality of outer arms 8 and radial arms 9 which hold the said outer arms 8 and transfer the motion to it.
- the said movable elements are preferably arranged with axes running parallel to one another and are paired with one another in such a way that their axes are at a distance from one another which is smaller than the length of the radial arms 9.
- Said movable elements can rotate, and upon rotation the outer arms of each pair of elements engage in one another, engaging with one another like a pair of gearwheels which transmit the movement to one another, in such a way that all said movable elements move simultaneously and synchronously.
- the rotary movement is transmitted from a suitable drive device 10, which is arranged outside the storage container, to one of these movable elements, which also transfers the rotation to the others.
- Said drive device can exist in different functional configurations: for example it can be an electric motor which is connected to the axis of a certain movable element which also transfers the rotary movement to the other movable elements; or it can also be an electric motor which acts on suitable gears which are connected to the axes of the said movable elements, which in this case move autonomously and are not carried along by a certain element; or it can also be a simple electric rotary actuator which acts with its adjusting arm on a gear wheel which is connected to one of the movable elements; or it can also be a device that is connected to other rotary components of the washing machine, such as. B. the rotary motor of the drum, and which transmits the rotary movement, possibly via suitable deflections, to an axis of a specific movable element.
- the above-mentioned movable elements can take on a wide variety of shapes and arrangements if they are only able to perform their function effectively, which consists in stirring the lumps of detergent and thus to shred.
- You can e.g. B. have the form of rotating brushes in which the radial elements rotate in different planes so as not to interfere with each other, or they consist of real wheels 12 which are provided with a plurality of closed wings 13.
- the torque required for their movement must be greater, but this can easily be achieved with suitable reduction gears between the drive device 10 and the axes of rotation of the said vanes.
- the said movable elements are at least partially arranged in the vicinity of the inlet opening 14 of the funnel 5, as shown in FIG. 1A.
- a hinged lid 4 is provided in the working surface of the washing machine, through which the user can fill the washing powder into the storage container described.
- a network with sufficiently narrow meshes or a stiff filter element 16 with sufficiently small holes is advantageously arranged in the area of the feed opening of the aforementioned storage container, so that when the detergent is filled in, the user himself intervenes and crushes possible lumps and crushes them into powder, which is therefore can easily pass through said filter element 16.
- the washing machine is to be built over with another body, for example with a tumble dryer, as is increasingly the case, the detergent can of course no longer be filled in from above.
- Figures 5 and 5A show a drawer with a handle 51 and a flat bottom 52, on which a structure 53 is arranged, which forms sub-compartments and is open at the top and bottom, said structure under the action of the horizontal pressure caused by a suitable element 54 is exerted, slides horizontally on said plane in order to penetrate over the storage container, and is held above suitable by drawer guides 55 which prevent it from falling down.
- the method of operation is as follows: the user pulls out the drawer 52, which contains said sub-compartment construction, fills the washing powder into the sub-compartments and, by acting on said element 54, only presses the construction 53 and not the drawer inside.
- the sub-compartments, which are open on the floor, continue to reach the space above the storage container 3 and let the detergent drain into it, then the construction 54 is pulled out again and the procedure described can be repeated until the storage container is filled.
- 6 shows another way of filling the storage container: in this case, the drawer consists of several elements 61 which are shaped as sub-compartments, are telescopically connected and end at the handle 62.
- the user opens when the handle 62 is pulled out the various elements 61 up to their maximum capacity; the detergent is poured onto the container, which consists of all the above elements, and the handle is inserted. In this way, the elements are telescopically pushed into one another, their total internal volume being significantly reduced, and the amount of detergent reduced by this closing process is thereby poured into the storage container.
- FIG. 7 shows another version of a detergent filling device:
- a handle 70 is connected in an articulated manner to an open fork 71 which holds a bellows 72, the lower edges of which close the vertical detergent supply opening 74.
- the user simply lifts the handle 70 mentioned, which in turn lifts the fork 71, which extends and takes the bellows 72 with it.
- the washing powder filled into the horizontal opening 75 slips on the bellows and falls through the vertical feed opening 74 into the storage container.
- FIGS. 11 and 11A A particularly effective and functional of these variants is shown in FIGS. 11 and 11A;
- the filling compartment 110 for washing powder has an open bottom, but which can be closed by a plurality of adjoining bulkheads 111, which can rotate about respective horizontal axes.
- the aforementioned bulkheads are articulated on a single arm 112, to which a further inner bulkhead 113 is articulated, the rear end 114 of which is provided with mutually aligned and rotatable guide means, e.g. B. two small hooks 115 and 116.
- the hooks mentioned are inserted in a fixed horizontal guide 117 which is arranged in the direction from front to back and ends in a downward curvature 118 at the rear.
- the spatial arrangement of the components is such that, when the drawer is opened, the bulkheads are rotated so that they lie essentially in the horizontal plane and thus together form a closed bottom of the drawer onto which the washing powder is filled .
- a useful improvement of the invention is to provide the user with the ability to be notified when the detergent fill is running low, ie when the reservoir needs to be refilled. This is particularly useful in view of the fact that after a certain period of use, the average user will no longer get the detergent into the machine every time they are washed to fill and therefore not knowing when this will end.
- the improvement is to provide a weight sensor located below and outside of the reservoir, as shown in FIG. 8.
- the storage container 3 is supported by one or more springs 81 which rest on a support 82 which is fastened to the housing of the machine (not shown).
- the storage container is therefore not rigidly connected to the machine, but rather is inserted into a container or vertical guides 83 which allow it to move slightly vertically, depending on the opposing forces of its weight with the detergent filling contained therein and the upward thrust caused by the aforementioned Springs 81, which are compression springs.
- An arm 88 is actuated beneath said storage container, which actuates a microswitch 85, whereby, after suitable adjustment of the various elements, the storage container rises more and more when it is emptied, until, when empty, it is raised to a point at which said arm 88 triggers microswitch 85.
- this switch operates in two different ways: it turns on an outside light and / or audible indicator that warns the user that the reservoir is empty, and it operates the machine control circuit by disabling its operation until the Storage container is filled with detergent again.
- a special type of metering device for the washing powder is therefore proposed which is significantly less susceptible to the ingress of moisture, the device mentioned being designed as described below with reference to FIG. 9: instead of feeding an opening below by falling, through which the detergent enters the washing container, the detergent storage container 3 feeds an underlying recess 90 which contains a screw 91 which can be rotated about a horizontal axis and whose outlet end 92 abuts an essentially vertical line 93. Said screw is rotated by a suitable small motor 94, the function of which can typically be controlled by the programming of the washing machine.
- the possibly penetrating moisture does not prevent the powder, even if it is slightly moistened, from still being able to be fed into the washing container, since the metering and the separation of the powder are no longer effected by gravity but by the rotational movement of the coils of said screw takes place, which "cut off" the exact amount of powder required and at the same time, by separating it from the rest of the powder, feeds it into said line 93 and from there into the washing container.
- a variant of the device just illustrated, to which FIG. 10 relates, is to replace the small motor 94 for driving the screw with a mill 100 which is driven by a water flow which flows from a suitable line 101 onto the blades the mill mentioned is directed, and wherein the rotary shaft of the mill, possibly via suitable gear, preferably reduction gear, is connected to the rotary shaft of the screw.
- the amount of detergent to be added to each cycle depends on the number of rotations of the screw and thus on the number of rotations of the mill mentioned and ultimately on the amount of water used, which can be controlled by opening the aforementioned electrovalve for a suitable period of time .
