Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for dispensing products for dishwashers.
- the various washing are generally arranged in product boxes attached to the door. These boxes are closed by a tilting or sliding shutter which opens automatically or mechanically when the corresponding product has to to be used. Some products, especially detergents, are sometimes used in individual pods which are introduced directly in the tank by the user.
- the product boxes are relatively bulky and therefore significantly reduce the useful internal volume of the machine, especially since their fixing on the door requires profile it (especially for aesthetic reasons) in such a way that its convex profiled part surrounding the product boxes further decreases more this interior volume.
- fixing the product boxes inside the door increases the acoustic leakage of the machine operation and requires sealing means around these boxes.
- the products are filled with these boxes when the door is open, which forces the user to bend almost to ground level, this which is not ergonomic.
- the use of such boxes results in a increase in the cost price of the machines (electromagnet coil, seal sealing, screws, electrical wires, mechanical connection ).
- the present invention relates to a device for dispensing products for dishwashers that have a device for removing products from their boxes simple and easy to install, easy to access for the user, and which adapts more easily to different types of detergents and which has a reduced cost.
- the device according to the invention comprises at least one product container with manual or automatic filling attached to one at less of the upper baskets of the machine and cooperating with a device hydraulic product ejection, and it is characterized in that the device hydraulic is one of the reels in the dishwasher and that the container is tilting and tilting under the action of at least one of the water jets of the reel.
- the container (s) is (are) fixed (s) on the basket (s), on the front.
- the containers are fixed inside the basket. Also so advantageous, if the containers do not occupy the entire width of the front of the basket (s), we can accommodate in the remaining volume front of other accessories such as cutlery baskets.
- the invention is described below with reference to the fixing of product distribution devices on the upper basket of a dishwasher with front door fitted with an upper basket and a lower basket.
- the fixing of the product distribution devices can be do on one or more of the upper baskets, so that the user has to lean as little as possible to recharge these dispensing devices.
- the products in question belong to at least one of the following categories: detergent products, water softening products, rinses, disinfectants, deodorants or other products that can be used in a dishwasher. These products can be used in all forms: powder, liquid, gels, lozenges, pods, ...
- Dispensing containers can be connected to reservoir containers intended to receive reservations of certain products when these products are used in relatively small amounts for a cycle of washing and / or rinsing.
- the container-tanks are associated with a device for sampling and dosing of products which samples therefrom appropriate time the necessary quantity of products to transfer it into the corresponding dispensing containers.
- These tank-containers are, preferably also fixed on at least one of the upper baskets, in accessible places (on the facade, for example). However, given the user should access it less often than distribution, these tank-containers are not necessarily attached to the upper baskets, but can also be attached to the basket lower, or even under the tank.
- Such reservoir-containers are more particularly suitable to liquid products, and especially for those that are used in low quantities. In fact, liquid products are easy to take and dose automatically.
- the sampling device can then be a syringe. This sampling device can be actuated in different ways: by example mechanically when closing the machine door or when the upper basket is pushed back after filling it with dishes, or well by an electro-mechanical device (electromagnet, solenoid valve, piezoelectric vibrator, ).
- the invention uses hydraulic power, available throughout dishwasher.
- the embodiment of the device 23 for distributing products shown in Figures 1 to 3 includes a tilting container, the tilting, allowing the evacuation of the contents, is controlled by the jets of water from the spinning reel under the basket to which the container is attached.
- the dispensing device is filled by the user.
- the filled dispensing device is shown, just before its evacuation, and in Figure 3 this dispensing device is in evacuation position by a jet of water from the corresponding reel.
- the device 23 essentially consists of a container tilting 24 hooked, for example by clipping, to the upper basket 5, the exterior thereof, a hinged cover 25 and a hinged flap 26 on container 24.
- the container 24 has a U-shaped cross section widening towards the front (towards the user), the opening of which is directed towards the top (in the filling position, Figures 1 and 2), and then it swings around an axis 27 passing substantially through its center of gravity and parallel to the front face of the basket 5.
- the cover 25 swings around an axis 28, parallel to the axis 27, and passing through the container 24, near its bottom. This cover 25 is arranged so that in the “closed” position (FIGS. 2 and 3), it masks the opening of the container 24, without necessarily closing it.
- This cover 25 has, for example, an L-shaped cross section overturned, and has near the elbow of the "L” a beak 29 allowing its operation by the user, to clear the opening of the container 24 (figure 1) and to close it ( Figures 2 and 3).
- a latching device 30, fixed to the basket 5, keeps the cover 25 in the closed position by retaining the rear edge 31 of the cover, shaped so as to ensure this snap-in.
- the flap 26 is fixed in an articulated fashion at low clearance. the outside of the container 24. This flap 26 is articulated by one of its ends around an axis 32 parallel to axes 27 and 28 and fixed under the container 24.
- the flap 26 has, in cross section, a flared "V" shape. His travel is limited, on the one hand (figure 2) by the external lateral surface container, and secondly by a spout 33 projecting from the same lateral surface and surrounding the other end of the "V" (the one opposite to the end articulated at 32). In the "rest" position (in the absence of jets water), as shown in Figures 1 and 2, a spring (not shown) applies the flap 26 against the spout 33.
- the flap 26 has, on its face lower, near the elbow of the "V", a lug 34 resting on a fixed stop 35 (fixed to basket 5 for example), so as to block rotation in a first direction (clockwise in the drawing) container 24, which is blocked in the other direction of rotation by a spout 36 formed on the device 30, the front edge 37 of the container 24 abutting against this spout 36.
- the water jet 38 of the reel 39 (turning under the basket 5) is directed towards the rear face 40 of the flap 26. This has the effect of pressing the flap 26 against the lower part of the rear face of the container 24 ( Figure 2), thus releasing the lug 34 from the stop 35.
- the container 24 can then turn (clockwise on the drawing) under the effect of gravity and / or an appropriate spring (not shown). He turns until its rear face 37 abuts against the stop 35 ( Figure 3). In this stopped position, the plane of the opening of the container 24, which was previously ( Figures 1 and 2) horizontal, is vertical ( Figure 3).
- the jet of water from the reel 39 can then enter the container 24 and discharge it the product it contained. After washing the dishes, the user, after having opened the machine, turns (counterclockwise shows) the container 24 to its rest position, and the lug 34 comes snap into place with the stop 35, and thus keeps the container 24 in this Last Position.
