The dispensing reservoir comprises a watertight, hermetically sealed tray (3) of large capacity, partially or totally removable with respect to a cavity (4) defined in the upper casing (1) and it has a drain hole (5) for the passage of fabric softener to the drawer (2) with the intermediation of a gear pump (12), in addition to incorporating a portion adjacent to the tray (3) which forms part of the casing (1) which includes electrical components to operate a motor (7) which, through a transmission and by means of magnetized plates (11-14), determines the rotation of the pump (12) positioned in the removable tray (3) to push the fabric softener to the drawer (2).
Description
- The present invention relates to a fabric softener dispensing reservoir which is found inside the upper casing of an electrical appliance.
- An object of the invention is that the dispensing reservoir is incorporated in an internal cavity of the electrical appliance and that it is provided with a removable portion consisting of a tray, and of a portion adjacent to the removable tray, which forms an integral part of the casing, wherein the means of activation and electronics are found which operate the drive means that guide the fabric softener stored in the reservoir to a mixing compartment or drawer with water wherefrom the cleaning products are supplied to the washing drum.
- Another object of the invention is that the dispensing reservoir allows the storage of a considerable quantity of fabric softener in order to avoid the manual filling operation of the mixing compartment (drawer) before each wash, and that the tray is partially or totally removable for its occasional filling or for its cleaning, and that the tray is removed without needing to disconnect the drive means.
- The lids of electrical appliances constitute casing components which have conventionally been mounted for aesthetic purposes, and with the practical purpose of avoiding the entry of humidity therein. Traditionally, the lids consist of fibreboard panels and, as a subsequent development, they are coated with plastic material or with laminate coating to guarantee their waterproofing.
- In order to provide greater consistency to the lids and avoid deformations, the incorporation of reinforced ribs with metal strips perpendicular to the plane of the lid which is laterally finished in brackets is envisaged; that is the case of the lid for electrical appliances envisaged in
invention patent ES 2 167 249. The means which guarantee the connection of the lid to its frame is the object of a series of certificates of addition to this patent, see invention patents ES 2 170 693, ES 2 170 694, ES 2 170 695 and ES 2 170 696. - Next, the possibility of using the lid for functions which are complementary to the covering function are envisaged; this is the case of the Spanish Utility Model U 200202442 which shows a lid with a hollow body equipped with a portion susceptible of housing electronic components and which has a closed compartment designed to house filling material which performs counterweight functions.
- On the other hand, the same applicant of the present invention is also holder of the Spanish patent P 200102871, which discloses a fabric softener reservoir integrated in the upper lid which has a removable drawer to introduce the fabric softener and a large inclined internal base cavity which has a drain hole whereby the fabric softener is guided to the inside of the cleaning product mixing drawer with water. The passage of fabric softener to the washing drawer requires the previous opening of a bypass valve and it is facilitated by a pump operated manually by an external handle.
- The fabric softener dispensing reservoir for electrical appliances object of this invention is positioned in the cavity defined in the lid or upper casing of the electrical appliance and is fundamentally constituted by two differentiated parts:
- A removable portion consisting of a tray which stores a considerable quantity of fabric softener in order to avoid the manual filling of the mixing compartment (drawer) before each wash and which supplies the fabric softener to the drawer, positioned below the reservoir, wherein the cleaning products are conventionally introduced.
The dispensing reservoir is equipped with drive means, to dispense the fabric softener stored in the removable portion or tray to the mixing compartment (drawer), consisting of an electric gear pump disposed in the removable tray. - A portion adjacent to the removable tray, which forms an integral part of the upper casing, wherein the means of activation and electronics to operate the pump are positioned.
- In this way, it is achieved that the mixing compartment or drawer receives fabric softener when the pump is operated and that the supply of fabric softener from said mixing compartment or drawer to the washing drum is performed in the established program phase without the need for any manual intervention.
- The tray is partially or totally removable for its occasional filling, as well as for its cleaning by the user, in a convenient manner and with no risks. It should be emphasized that the tray is removed with no need to disconnect the pump, since its motor remains in the upper casing, adjacent to the removable tray and transmits the movement via a magnetized plate towards another magnetized plate belonging to the gear pump positioned in the removable tray, which means there is no mechanical/electrical connection between pump and motor.
- The pump body has an inlet in correspondence with a tray drain hole whereby the fabric softener penetrates, guided towards a pair of drive gears of the pump which are responsible for facilitating the measured discharge of the fabric softener through a discharge opening to the drawer.
- In order to facilitate the insertion or removal of the tray to/from the lid, it has lateral guides with a locking system which ensures it is totally closed, or the partially open position of the tray can be set to introduce the fabric softener liquid through a window defined in a lid (optional) which covers the tray on its upper part, or the tray can be totally removed for its cleaning.
- The tray is equipped with a certain inclination to allow the fabric softener to concentrate in the proximities of the tray drain hole for its passage to the mixing compartment (drawer) with the aid of the pump. The gear pump will supply the electrical appliance's drawer with the necessary and exact dose of fabric softener at the right time according to the wash program.
- It complementarily has a non-return stop valve in the pump's discharge opening outlet to avoid undesired leaking of liquid.
- To complement the description being made and with the object of helping towards a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, in accordance with a preferred example of practical embodiment thereof, a set of figures is attached as an integral part of the description, wherein the following has been represented with an illustrative, non-limitative character:
