Definitions

• the present invention relates to an adding device for dishwashers for a particular tablet-shaped cleaning or rinsing agent with a fillable storage chamber for receiving a particular tablet-shaped cleaning or rinsing agent, and a dishwasher with such an adding device.
• a pulverulent or tablet-shaped cleaner can be filled in the respectively required amount before the beginning of a cleaning program in a designated storage chamber of a dosing with open door.
• the cleaning or rinsing agent located in the pantry when opening the lid of the pantry in the dishwasher.
• Today's pantries for receiving cleaners are usually designed so that they rely mainly on the flushing of the chamber wells with water to flush the cleaning or rinsing agent completely out of the pantry. This can be done for example via a special design of the spray arms or a shower head or the dishwasher indirectly via flushing rinse water.
• a lid of a storage chamber which can be opened by a folding mechanism can only partially open, in particular if the pivoting movement of the lid is determined, for example, by protruding parts of dishes, such as handles of cups or the like, is hampered. This can cause that the lid opens only partially, with the result that the storage chamber of the adding device is only partially accessible from the interior of the washing compartment. In particular, in such a case, there is the danger that the pantry is not completely flushed out during an ongoing cleaning and / or washing program due to insufficient flushing of the chamber wells.
• the problem may arise in particular that the detergent tablet can not escape unhindered into the rinsing chamber due to an incompletely opened lid of the storage chamber, for example because the opening between the chamber wall and the lid is smaller as the dimensions of the detergent tablet. This creates the problem that after the end of the program of the cleaning or rinsing program incompletely dissolved residues of the detergent tablet remain in the pantry.
• a dishwasher in which in a front door a cleaning receiving receiving device is installed, which has an addition opening with a lid.
• the feeding device has a bowl-shaped housing which is fully open against the washing compartment of the dishwasher and to which a lid is horizontally mounted on the cover of the dishwasher.
• a spring is installed, which endeavors to open the lid.
• the lid of the feed device is associated with a dish rack of the dishwasher as a stop, which allows pivoting of the lid from its closed position to its open position by approximately 30 °.
• the present invention has for its object to provide a dispenser for dishwashers with a fillable pantry for receiving a particular tablet-shaped cleaning or rinsing agent so that remain after program end of a cleaning and / or rinse as possible no cleaner residues in the pantry. It is another object of the present invention to provide a corresponding dishwasher. The object is achieved by an adding device for dishwashers according to the features of patent claim 1 and by a dishwasher according to the features of patent claim 12.
• the supply chamber of the dishwasher dispensing device according to the invention which can be filled, in particular, with a tablet-type detergent or dishwashing agent, is arranged and shaped such that, in the operating position of the adding device in the dishwashing machine, the cleaning or flushing agent can escape unhindered in the direction of gravity into the washing compartment from the storage chamber.
• the storage chamber is mounted in or on a dishwasher door, which closes the flushing chamber to the outside, or an integral part of such a door.
• the storage chamber forming a detergent well is preferably arranged and formed on the inside of the door such that in the operating position when the door is closed the particular tablet-shaped cleaning or rinsing agent can escape almost vertically into the washing compartment of the dishwasher.
• the adding device is geometrically shaped and arranged such that the cleaning or rinsing agent due to its Gravity straight and unhindered falls into the sink.
• an optimal, reliable cleaner addition can be achieved in the device.
• the adding device is geometrically shaped and arranged such that in the filling position of the storage chamber a trough is formed to receive the cleaning or rinsing agent.
• the storage chamber is preferably formed in or on the door of the dishwasher, wherein in the operating position of the adding device, a plane along which the door inner side opening of the storage chamber extends, is inclined in the direction of the washing compartment.
• the storage chamber is preferably arranged in or on the dishwasher door in a transition of the inside of the door between a control panel area arranged in the door and a remaining area of the door.
• the operating device area of a dishwasher door is characterized in particular by the fact that it generally requires a greater door depth as a result of the arrangement of electronic assemblies and switches in comparison to the remaining area of the dishwasher door.
• a particularly advantageous embodiment of the adding device according to the invention provides that the storage chamber is arranged in or on the dishwasher door such that when the door is open and in a fully extended for filling purposes Spülkorb the dishwasher, the pantry not completely or partially covered by the washing in the filling direction of the pantry is. According to this embodiment, therefore, the trough of the storage chamber for receiving the cleaning or rinsing agent outside the Spülkorb-extract is placed with the dishwasher door open, so that the pantry unhindered for filling purposes is accessible. In addition, such a placement of the storage chamber prevents the risk of contamination of the storage chamber during the loading process of the dishwasher.
• a rinsing basket of the dishwasher in particular a lower basket of the dishwasher, is designed for the same purpose such that when the door is open and when the rinse basket is fully extended the storage chamber is not completely or partially covered by the rinse basket in the filling direction of the storage chamber ,
• the length of the washing basket is adapted in accordance with these conditions or has approximately corresponding recesses or other geometric shapes so as not to cover the storage chamber in the filling position in the filling direction. This prevents in the same way that, for example, liquid soiled residues from the dishes, which is loaded into the dishwasher, dripping into the pantry.
