Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Waschmittel-Einspülvorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a detergent dispenser according to the preamble of claim 1.
Waschmittel-Einspülvorrichtungen der in Rede stehenden Art sind bei Waschmaschinen allgemein bekannt. Die Waschmittel für die Vor- und Hauptwäsche sowie die Wäschenachbehandlungsmittel werden vor Starten des jeweiligen Waschprogramms in die dafür vorgesehenen Kammern der Waschmittel-Einspüleinrichtung eingefüllt. Die Einspülung der Mittel aus der entsprechenden Kammer erfolgt dann automatisch zu Beginn des jeweiligen Waschvorganges. Bei einer solchen Waschmittel-Einspülvorrichtung erkennt nun der Benutzer der Waschmaschine nicht so ohne Weiteres die Funktion der einzelnen Waschmittelkammern, so daß es vorkommen kann, daß eine Kammer befüllt wird, die bei einem bestimmten vorgewählten Waschprogramm dann gar nicht ausgespült wird. Dies kann z. B. der Fall sein, daß die Waschmittelkammer für die Vorwäsche mit einem Waschmittel befüllt wird, obwohl das vorgewählte Waschprogramm ohne Durchlaufen eines Vorwaschprogrammes abgearbeitet wird.Detergent dispensers of the type in question are generally known in washing machines. The detergents for the pre and main wash as well as the Laundry after-treatment agents are used before starting the the respective washing program in the designated compartments the detergent dispenser. The The agents are flushed in from the corresponding chamber then automatically at the beginning of the respective washing process. Detects in such a detergent dispenser now the user of the washing machine is not so easy the function of the individual detergent compartments so that it can happen that a chamber is filled, which at a certain pre-selected washing program is rinsed out. This can e.g. B. be the case that the Detergent dispenser for prewashing with a detergent is filled, although the pre-selected washing program is without Going through a prewash program.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es deshalb, den Waschmaschinen-Bedienenden einen eindeutigen Hinweis zu geben, welche Waschmittelkammer für ein bestimmtes vorgewähltes Waschprogramm mit einem Wasch- oder Wäschepflegemittel zu beladen ist.The object of the invention is therefore the washing machine operator to give a clear indication of which Detergent dispenser for a particular selected Wash program with a detergent or laundry care product too is loaded.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe gemäß der Erfindung ist dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 zu entnehmen. This object is achieved according to the invention characterizing part of claim 1.
Vorteilhafte weitere Ausgestaltungen des Gegenstandes der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous further refinements of the subject of Invention are specified in the subclaims.
Durch die Erfindung wird erreicht, daß den Waschmaschinen-Bedienenden angezeigt wird, welche Waschmittelkammer für ein bestimmtes Waschprogramm mit Waschmitteln gefüllt werden muß. Damit werden Fehler beim Beladen der Waschmittelkammern ausgeschlossen.The invention ensures that the washing machine operator which detergent compartment is displayed for a certain washing program filled with detergents must become. This eliminates errors when loading the Detergent compartments excluded.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird anhand einer
Zeichnung nachfolgend näher beschrieben.
Die Zeichnung zeigt in schematischer Darstellung einen als
Schublade ausgebildeten Waschmittel-Einspülkasten und eine
Waschmittelkammer gemäß der Erfindung in Einzeldarstellung.An embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to a drawing.
The drawing shows a schematic representation of a detergent dispenser box designed as a drawer and a detergent chamber according to the invention in individual representation.
Der als Schublade ausgebildete Waschmitteleinspülkasten 1,
der im Blendenbereich einer programmgesteuerten
Waschmaschine herausziehbar unterbringbar ist, hat mehrere
Kammern 2, 3, 4, 5 zur Aufnahme diverser Wasch- und
Wäschepflegemittel. Um der Bedienungsperson das Beladen der
einzelnen Waschmittelkammern zu erleichtern und dabei
Fehlbedienungen auszuschließen, ist es zweckmäßig, jeder
dieser Waschmittelkammern zur Identifikation ein
elektrisches Anzeigeelement zuzuordnen. Ein solches
Anzeigeelement kann z. B. auch auf der Bedienblende des
Gerätes für jede Waschmittelkammer eindeutig zuordenbar
angebracht sein. Dabei ist es von Vorteil, ein solches
Ahzeigeelement in Abhängigkeit des gewählten Waschprogramms
aktivierbar bzw. ansteuerbar auszubilden. Fig. 2 zeigt eine
solche Waschmittelkammer 6 mit einem zugeordneten
Anzeigeelement 7 in Einzeldarstellung. Als Anzeigeelemente
dienen an sich bekannte LED's, Lampen usw. Ein solches
Ahzeigeelement soll zwei Zustände haben, z. B. die Farben
rot" und
Die vorbeschriebene Benutzerführung zum Beladen der
einzelnen Waschmittelkammern könnte auch in ein
Bediendialogsystem (Display, Sprachsteuerung) eingebunden
werden. Bedienfehler beim Beladen der Waschmittelkammern
würden dann sofort erkannt und gemeldet werden.The detergent dispenser 1, which is designed as a drawer and can be pulled out in the panel area of a program-controlled washing machine, has
The above-described user guidance for loading the individual detergent compartments could also be integrated into an operating dialog system (display, voice control). Operating errors when loading the detergent compartments would then be recognized and reported immediately.
