Definitions

  • the invention relates to a washing machine with a housing and a tub located therein for receiving washing liquid, with a arranged in the upper region of the machine housing Waschschein Textilkasten which is connected via a water supply line for rinsing detergent or additive from the Waschstoffein Textilkasten with the tub in conjunction, said Ein Hugheskasten next to a receiving compartment for washing and / or adding means further comprises at least one connection for feeding liquid washing or adding agent from an external metering device.
  • the invention thus raises the problem of providing a washing machine which can be operated immediately for an external liquid detergent addition.
  • the essential advantage that results in a washing machine as a result of a factory pre-assembled connecting element is that the washing machine can be coupled to an external liquid detergent feed at any time. Elaborate reworking of the device by mounting a conversion kit is eliminated.
  • an adapter connecting element is provided, which has outwardly on the device wall, such as the rear wall, at least one protruding connection piece to which a hose for feeding liquid detergent or other means of addition, for example, impregnating agent or softener, can be connected.
  • the connector further includes a continuous channel which begins at the nozzle and enters the interior of the Ein Albanykastens within the washing machine.
  • the nozzle In proper operating position, the nozzle is arranged higher than the entry point on Ein Albanykasten, so that there is a gradient to Ein Fashionkasten over the extension region of the connecting element.
  • the formation of the slope has the advantage that in particular the Ein Cypruskasten also allows a loading of the detergent through a drawer. Because when the water level rises in the Ein Cypruskasten, is prevented by the sloping backwards to the rear wall slope distance that may emerge unwanted liquid from the channels at the back of the machine housing. The gradient is therefore set from the level that an automatic leakage of washing liquid or rinsing liquid from the dispenser can not be done.
  • the arrangement also has the advantage that the channel or channels at the entry point are at least partially flushed out by the water introduced into the dispenser, so that the channels can not be adhered or blocked by residual amounts of detergent or admixture.
  • the connecting element comprises several, for example, six channels, each one associated with the channel and on the outside of the housing wall have protruding connection piece.
  • the channels enter at the bottom of the wall of the Ein Hamptonkastens.
  • the nozzles provide a connection of several external liquid pump.
  • this adapter with six channels establishes the connection between the rear wall and the dispenser.
  • the connection to the dispenser is made via a round spigot with the appropriate number of duct outlets and a molded seal that covers the entire circumference of the spigot.
  • the Ein Hugheskasten has on the outside of the wall a several millimeters long connecting piece to compensate for tolerances between the position of the housing wall, for example, rear wall, and the position of the Ein Hugheskastens.
  • the connecting element is formed from a plastic molding, in which the individual channels are formed.
  • the plastic molded part has a rectangular shape, in which the cross-sectionally also rectangular shaped channels are arranged.
  • the channels are U-shaped, wherein at least two channels are arranged side by side lying on the bottom side down further U-shaped channels are formed, wherein the open channels are provided with a cover. Due to this design, it is possible that the connecting element formed as an adapter can be made of a plastic molded part whose shape is simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
  • the connecting element in the course of its extension from the housing wall, has a horizontally extending section, adjoined by a section extending under an inclination, which merges into a horizontal section extending to the dispensing box.
  • the inclined portion prevents the involuntary leakage of washing liquid from the dispenser box or machine housing. Furthermore, it is achieved that, after the dosing process, the remaining amount of detergent or adding agent remaining in the channel flows out of the channel into the dispenser box.
  • a holding element configured as a bayonet closure is integrally formed on the rear wall side.
  • the holding element as such consists of two mutually rotationally offset arranged rectangular plate elements, which correspond to a pre-cut in the rear wall rectangular opening.
  • the plate elements are arranged parallel to each other at a distance, wherein in the mounted state of the connecting element, the front plate rests on the rear wall and the rear plate engages behind portions of the rear wall.
  • the connecting element is inserted through the rear wall in such a way that first the rear plate is pressed through the rectangular opening in the rear wall, wherein then upon rotation of the connecting element, the self-clamping by the front and the rear Plate takes place in which the entire connecting element is rotated by an angle of about 5 to 30 °.
  • a retaining element designed as a latching element is integrally formed on the connecting element, wherein the retaining element here consists of a disk-shaped ring, on the circumference of which rib rings are formed, which correspond with a pipe connection piece attached to the flushing-in back wall with at least one locking ring on the inner wall side.
  • the connecting pieces are integrally formed on the front plate element under an angular position. This training allows a disability-free approach of hoses that can be easily put on or put on the one hand or deduct.
  • the openings of the connecting piece can be provided with a cover or cap, which prevents dirt from entering the channels.
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view of a washing machine 1 with a rotatably mounted in a tub 2 drum 3, which is in operative connection with an electric motor, not shown.
  • a dispenser 4 in which, for example, a drawer, not shown, may be arranged in the upper region of the machine housing 5 provided.
  • the dispenser 4 is connected to a water supply line with the interposition of a solenoid valve and a control device in connection.
  • the detergent feed takes place via an external feed, which provides the liquid detergent in the dispenser 4.
  • two metering pumps 6 are provided, which are controlled by the control device of the washing machine, and are connected via a line or lance 8 to a separate detergent reservoir 7, wherein the lance 8 projects into the respective container 7.
  • the pump 6 is connected on the pressure side to the dispenser 4, wherein at least one hose 9 is arranged in the rear wall region 10 of the machine housing 5.
  • the connecting element 13 is formed from a plastic molding, in which the individual channels 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 12.4, 12.5 and 12.6 are formed.
  • the plastic molded part as shown in FIG. 5, has a rectangular shape in which the channels 12.1 to 12.6, which are likewise rectangular in cross-section, are arranged.
  • the channels 12.1 to 12.6 here are U-shaped, wherein at least two channels are arranged side by side lying on the bottom side 16 down further U-shaped channels are formed.
  • the open channels 12.1 to 12.3 and 12.4 to 12.6 are each provided with a cover 17.1 and 17.2, so that the space is closed.
  • FIGS. 1 see in particular from FIG. 1, but also from FIGS.
  • the connecting element 13 has a substantially horizontally extending first section 18, to which an inclination takes place extending portion 19 connects, which merges into a substantially flush for Ein Hugheskasten 4 extending third section 20. Due to this design, in particular a damming height to the rear wall 10 is provided, which prevents self-draining of the Ein Cypruskastens 4.
  • a holding element 21 designed as a bayonet closure is integrally formed on the connecting element 13 on the rear wall side.
  • the holding element 21 in this case consists of two mutually rotationally offset arranged rectangular plate members 22 and 23, which correspond to a pre-cut in the rear wall 10 rectangular opening 24.
  • the plate members 22 and 23 are arranged parallel to each other at a distance, wherein in the mounted state of the connecting element 13, shown in Figures 2 and 3, the front plate 22 rests on the rear wall 10, and the rear plate 23 the edge of the opening 24th in the rear wall 10 engages behind.
  • the holding element 25 is formed from a disk-shaped ring 26, on the circumference of rib rings 27 are formed, which correspond to FIG. 3 with an attached to the Ein Hugheskastenschwand 11 pipe socket 28 with at least one locking ring 29 on the inner wall 30.
  • the connecting element 13 it goes without saying that the holding element 25 is first threaded through the rear wall 10 to the point where the disk-shaped ring 26 engages with its rib rings 27 in the attached pipe socket 28 and locks in such a way that the rear plate 23 is threaded through the rear wall opening 24.
  • the connecting element 13 is rotated by a certain angular amount, for example 5 to 30 °, so that the rear plate 23 engages behind the rear wall 10, wherein the front plate 22 so rests on the rear wall 10, so that the bayonet lock is locked ,
  • the connecting element 13 is thus firmly integrated in the machine housing 5.
  • connection pieces 14.1 to 14.6 then rest on the rear wall 10 in such a way that they each extend at an angular position so that the connecting pieces 14.1 to 14.6 project obliquely out of the housing wall 10. It is clear in this situation that now easily up to six hoses 9 can be recognized without them hindering when plugging.
  • the non-used connection pieces 14.1 to 14.6 can be covered with a cap, not shown, so that no dust in the unused channels 12.1 to 12.6 can penetrate.
