US 2004/0000177 A1 discloses a device of this type, which comprises a container in which the detergent is stored, a window through which said detergent is supplied, and a first motor that causes said window to open. Said device also comprises a axis disposed beneath said container and in series with said window, and coiled means in said axis acting as a worm gear. A second motor causes the rotation of said axis, rotating said means connected to said axis so that as said means rotate a certain amount of detergent is supplied through said window. To achieve this it is necessary that the first motor opens said window, both motors having to control. - It is an object of this invention to provide a device for supplying detergent in a home appliance, in order to dose the quantity of detergent supplied.
- The inventive device for supplying detergent is used in a home appliance. Said appliance comprises a reception chamber where the device is disposed, and a washing chamber that is connected to said reception chamber and where the detergent is supplied. Said device comprises a container disposed on the washing chamber where the detergent used in said appliance is stored, a window through which said detergent is supplied to said washing chamber, and operating means connected to said container by means of which said supply is made possible.
- The window is disposed in the container, said container comprising a wall in its interior that delimits an area of supply around said window connected to the rest of said container, with the detergent disposed in said area of supply being supplied through said window. The operating means cause the rotation of said container, said container being able to move from a rest position to an active position so that in said position it activates the window when it is facing the washing chamber, thereby supplying detergent to said washing chamber by gravity.
- Thus, by means of the rotation of the container, detergent is supplied to the washing chamber of the home appliance, said supply being dosed by regulating said rotation.
- These and other advantages and characteristics of the invention will be made evident in the light of the drawings and the detailed description thereof.

Fig. 8 is a first embodiment of the axis of the device ofFig. 1 . -
Fig. 9 is a view in section of a second embodiment of the axis of the device ofFig. 1 . - In
Figure 1 is shown an embodiment of a device 1 for supplying detergent, said detergent being any type of gel or powder detergent, for example. Said device 1 is used in ahome appliance 10 that can be, for example, a washing machine or dishwasher, said device 1 being disposed in a reception chamber 2 of saidappliance 10, shown infigure 2 . Saidappliance 10 also comprises a washing chamber (not shown in the figures) connected to said reception chamber 2 by a connecting conduit not shown in the figures, said washing chamber receiving the detergent supplied by said device 1. - The device 1 comprises a
container 4 where the detergent supplied by said device 1 is stored, saidcontainer 4 being disposed in the reception chamber 2 of theappliance 10. Said device 1 also comprises awindow 5 disposed on the perimeter surface of saidcontainer 4, preferably close to thefront end 4a of saidcontainer 4, with the detergent stored in saidcontainer 4 being supplied to the washing chamber through saidwindow 5, when saidwindow 5 is facing said washing chamber. - The device 1 also comprises operating means 6 and 7 connected to the
container 4, by means of which the supply of detergent is made possible, with saidoperating means axis 7 and amotor 6 that causes the rotation of saidaxis 7. Saidaxis 7 is connected or can be connected to thecontainer 4, with the rotation of saidaxis 7 causing the rotation of saidcontainer 4, thereby causing thewindow 5 to face the washing chamber of thehome appliance 10. - As the
window 5 is preferably next to thefront end 4a of thecontainer 4, in order to facilitate the supply of detergent stored next to the rear end 4b of saidcontainer 4, saidcontainer 4 can be conical, being disposed horizontally in the reception chamber 2 of thehome appliance 10, with the diameter of saidfront end 4a being greater than the diameter of said rear end 4b. Thecontainer 4 can also be cylindrical, being disposed in the reception chamber 2 either at an angle or horizontally, comprising in the latter case a plurality ofchannels 45 that extend longitudinally as a worm gear in saidcontainer 4, as shown infigure 3 . When disposed at an angle, saidcontainer 4 is inclined in such a way that the detergent disposed next to the rear end 4b can fall towards thefront end 4a, and therefore towards thewindow 5, by gravity. - The
container 4 comprises at least onewall 40 in its interior that delimits an area ofsupply 50 around thewindow 5, said area ofsupply 50 being connected to the rest of saidcontainer 4. Initially, saidcontainer 4 is in a rest position Pr, passing through an active position Pa when it rotates, with saidwindow 5 facing the washing chamber in said active position Pa. Thus, when thecontainer 4 passes through said active position Pa, the detergent disposed in the area ofsupply 50 is supplied by gravity to said washing chamber through saidwindow 5. When the detergent used is a type of gel, preferably saidwindow 5 is oval-shaped, with the smaller diameter of saidwindow 5 being longitudinal to saidcontainer 4, thereby preventing the accumulation of gel in saidwindow 5 when saidcontainer 4 moves to said rest position Pr. - As shown in
figures 4 and5 , thewall 40 can comprise a first configuration in which it comprises a cross section with a substantially L-shaped form facing thewindow 5 along its entire length. When saidcontainer 4 passes through the active position Pa, the detergent disposed in the area ofsupply 50 is supplied through thewindow 5. Due to the dimensions ofsaid wall 40 and to the fact that said area ofsupply 50 is connected to the rest of thecontainer 4, when saidcontainer 4 is in said active position Pa, at least part of the detergent stored in said rest of thecontainer 4 moves to said area ofsupply 50, with the amount of detergent supplied dependent upon the time for which saidcontainer 4 remains in said active position Pa, dosing the supply of detergent. - With reference to
figures 6 and7 , thewall 40 can comprise a second configuration in which it also comprises a section 40' next to the cross section with the substantially L-shaped form of the first configuration, said section 40' being substantially parallel to the surface of thecontainer 4. When saidcontainer 4 passes through the active position Pa, the detergent disposed in the area ofsupply 50 is supplied through thewindow 5, and due to the dimensions ofsaid wall 40, when saidcontainer 4 is in said active position Pa no more detergent is disposed in said area ofsupply 50. When it moves to the rest position Pr and as said area ofsupply 50 is connected to the rest of saidcontainer 4, part of the detergent stored in said rest of thecontainer 4 moves to said area ofsupply 50, with more detergent being supplied through saidwindow 5 when saidcontainer 4 moves to said active position Pa. In this way, every time thecontainer 4 passes through said active position Pa the detergent disposed in the area ofsupply 50 is supplied, with the total amount of detergent supplied depending on the number of times (number of turns) that saidcontainer 4 passes through said active position Pa. - In the second configuration of the
wall 40, depending, for example, on the concentration of detergent used, it is useful that a greater or smaller amount of detergent be disposed in the area ofsupply 50. To achieve this, thecontainer 4 may comprise agate 46 that can tilt in relation to anend 41 ofsaid wall 40 and which delimits anopening 47 of connection between said area ofsupply 50 and the rest of saidcontainer 4. The size of said opening 47 can be modified by tilting saidgate 46 in relation to saidend 41, thereby regulating the amount of detergent that moves to said area ofsupply 50, and therefore, dosing the supply of detergent. Preferably saidgate 46 is accessible from the exterior of thehome appliance 10, allowing saidgate 46 to be operated manually in a simple way. In place of thegate 46, saidcontainer 4 may comprise a movable cover (not shown in the figures) accessible from the exterior in order to cover thewindow 5, with the regulation of the supply of detergent being dependent upon the opening of said cover. The detergent is supplied through the area of saidwindow 5 that does not cover said cover, the size of said area being open to modification by means of moving said cover. - In a normal situation, when the
home appliance 10 is not running, thecontainer 4 is in the rest position Pr. To ensure that the detergent disposed in saidcontainer 4 is not affected by external factors such as dampness, the device 1 comprises aseal 8 connected to saidcontainer 4 and which covers thewindow 5 of saidcontainer 4 in said rest position Pr. Saidseal 8 can tilt by gravity in relation to an axis ofrotation 80 next to saidwindow 5 so that when saidcontainer 4 rotates and moves to the active position Pa, saidseal 8 tilts to uncover saidwindow 5, thereby enabling the supply of detergent through saidwindow 5. - With reference to
figure 8 , the device 1 comprises asemi-circular piece 9 fixed to theaxis 7 and which rotates in conjunction with thecontainer 4, with saidsemi-circular piece 9 comprising a substantially straight perimeter section 9'. Detection means (not shown in the figures) disposed in said dosing device 1 detect whether said perimeter section 9' is in a certain position, thereby determining if saidcontainer 4 is in the rest position Pr or in the active position Pa, or not. - In a first embodiment shown in
figure 7 , theaxis 7 comprises an end 7' with a substantially polygonal form, with said end 7' being housed in the rear end 4b of thecontainer 4, and with the rotation of saidaxis 7 causing, therefore, the rotation of saidcontainer 4. Saidcontainer 4 can comprise acover 42 on thefront end 4a, with saidcontainer 4 able to be released from saidaxis 7 by saidcover 42, with saidcontainer 4 able to be removed from the reception chamber 2, with detergent being introduced in saidcontainer 4 by the opening of saidcover 42, although it can also comprise a closed body with detergent in its interior, being replaced by anew container 4 that comprises a closed body with detergent in its interior, after being released fromsaid axis 7 and removed from said reception chamber 2. - In a second embodiment shown in
figure 9 , theaxis 7 passes through thecontainer 4 and is fixed to saidcontainer 4 all the way along the length of saidcontainer 4, with the rotation of saidaxis 7 causing the rotation of saidcontainer 4, and preventing the possible rolling movement of saidcontainer 4 when it rotates. Saidcontainer 4 cannot be released from saidaxis 7, detergent being introduced in said container through an access hatch not shown in the figures.
