Definitions

  • the invention relates to a domestic dishwasher with a housing in which a rinsing container is arranged, and with at least one metering device arranged within the housing for the program-controlled addition of an active substance into the rinsing container.
  • the invention relates to a method for dosing detergent and bleach in the washing of a domestic dishwasher with a housing and at least one arranged within the housing metering device for separate storage and dispensing of the liquid or pasty detergent and the liquid or pasty bleach, wherein the metering device For this purpose, it is equipped with storage containers which have a capacity beyond that required for a single rinsing process amount of the detergent or bleaching agent and wherein the capacity of the reservoir are different.
  • Household dishwashers are generally known (EP 1 329 187 A2 ), whose metering systems are suitable for the storage of a larger amount of liquid rinse aid, in which case a fraction of this amount is metered into the washing container in each washing program.
  • metering systems are known ( DE 199 28 040 A1 ), in which also liquid aftertreatment agents can be stored.
  • These metering systems additionally have a receiving chamber, in which detergent in the form of powder or tablets is filled in each case for a rinse and which is then emptied by the program control during the corresponding program step in the washing.
  • Another disadvantage is that the dosage of the cleaner is made by the user himself with a rough estimate of the actual amount required (when using powder) or without any possibility of variable dosage (when using tablets).
  • a dishwashing machine with a metering device is known in which larger amounts of so-called basic chemicals can be stored.
  • the bleaching agent necessary for the rinsing process is generated here in the form of gaseous active chlorine in a microreactor.
  • the use of chlorine gas leads to unpleasant odors, in larger quantities chlorine gas is even poisonous.
  • the dosing chamber has a variable volume.
  • the EP 0423044 B1 describes a arranged for example on the door of a dishwasher distributor for a liquid product with a reservoir.
  • the US 2002/0088502 discloses a metering device for metering a liquid product into a dishwasher with a storage container.
  • the WO 03/027377 A1 describes a Vorratsdosier réelle for installation in a washing machine or a dishwasher, which has a plurality of storage containers.
  • the invention thus presents the problem of disclosing a domestic dishwasher of the type mentioned, which allows a storage of larger amounts of detergent and thus possibly their automatic dosing with improved handling of the domestic dishwasher. According to the invention, this problem is solved by a domestic dishwasher with the features of claim 1.
  • the invention also has the problem of disclosing a method of dosing such a cleaner in which the refilling operation is simplified. According to the invention, this problem is solved by dosing the detergent and the bleaching agent in quantities within a washing program whose ratio corresponds to the ratio of the capacity of the storage container.
  • the achievable with the present invention consist in addition to a simplification of the operation is that the amount of detergent automatically the degree of contamination of the dishes, the degree of filling and / or the selected wash program can be adjusted.
  • the separate storage of cleaning and bleaching component has the advantage that they can be added at different times and in different amounts and then unfold their optimal effect in each program section.
  • the storage containers are arranged in the upper region of a device door closing the rinsing container. This facilitates their filling.
  • the storage containers are thermally insulated from the washing container. This prevents the components from being exposed too much to the temperature fluctuations in the washing container, which could impair their effect.
  • first and second sealing element is in each case coupled to one another in such a way that closing of a transition opening causes an opening of an outlet opening and opening of a transition opening causes a closing of an outlet opening.
  • the sealing elements may be suitably electromotive or electromagnetically movable.
  • the second sealing elements are arranged in the impingement region of the liquid jet. As a result, a cleaning of the sealing elements is achieved and thus ensures their sealing seat.
  • the capacity of a dosing chamber is a fraction of a maximum amount of active ingredient added in a rinsing program.
  • a variable for example, the degree of contamination of the dishes, the degree of filling and / or the respective selected wash program adapted amount of active ingredient are fed to the rinsing process by repeated actuation of the metering device.
  • the storage containers have different capacities. This can take into account the fact that in a rinsing process less bleach is needed as a cleaning agent. This is advantageously the method for dosing detergent and bleach according to claim 11 a. The fact that within a wash program, the detergent and the bleaching agent are metered in amounts whose ratio corresponds to the ratio of, capacity of the reservoir, it is ensured that both reservoirs are always empty at the same time and therefore can be refilled in a single step.
  • FIG. 1 is the front of a household dishwasher 1 shown. This has in a known manner a washing container 2, which is opened to the front and therefore by a hinged door 3 is closed.
  • the figure shows the machine with the door closed 3, which is why the behind, in FIG. 2 indicated Speller 2 in FIG. 1 is not visible.
  • the upper portion of the door 3 may carry a control panel 4, in which then rotary selector switch 5 and / or push buttons 6 for selecting a program and also display devices 7 are shown for displaying user information. Inside the control panel, the device control 8 and other electrical and electronic components are arranged, which is symbolized by the dashed box.
  • the door 3 is as in FIG. 2 recognizable, formed from a door outer panel 9 and a door inner panel 10.
  • the inner door panel 10 is provided with a folded edge 11 so that a closed hollow body 12 is formed by the assembly of outer panel 9 and inner panel 10.
  • a closed hollow body 12 is formed by the assembly of outer panel 9 and inner panel 10.
  • the middle door area is in a known manner (see, eg. EP 1 329 187 A2 ) a so-called KombiDosier réelle 13, which is suitable for receiving a powder or tablet-shaped cleaner for a rinse and for receiving rinse aid for several rinses.
  • a salt vessel may be provided which receives the regeneration salt necessary for the regeneration of a softening device.
  • a further metering device 15 is arranged according to the invention.
  • the further metering device 15 is for program-controlled dispensing of liquid or pasty detergent 16 and liquid or pasty bleach 17 (s. FIG. 3a and b ) suitable.
  • the active ingredient components in two different containers 18 and 19 are stored separately from each other.
  • the incompatible in liquid and / or pasty formulations incompatible components enzyme / alkalinity and bleaching agent are first mixed in the washing and can there unfold their full effect.
  • the further metering device is provided as a supplement to the combination metering device 13, so that the user can choose between conventional powder or tablet cleaner and liquid components.
  • a less convenient embodiment may dispense with the combination metering device 13, in which case the metering device 15 has to be expanded by a chamber for rinse aid (not shown).
  • the metering device 15 consists, as in FIG. 3 it can be seen from the two reservoirs 18 and 19 with integrally formed metering chambers 20 and 21, which in each case a closure device 22 and 23 is associated. It can be made as a one-piece plastic component, in which case a common housing 24 is divided by means of a partition wall 25 in the two containers 18 and 19. Alternatively, a separate structure of both containers 18 and 19 is possible.
  • the metering device 15 is inserted into the cavity 12 between outer panel 9 and inner panel 10. In this case, the storage containers 18 and 19 are surrounded by a thermal insulation layer 26 at least on the side directed toward the washing container 2. Alternatively, all of the container walls may be made of a heat-insulating material (not shown).
  • the outlet openings 27 and 28 for metering the media 16 and 17 are formed as channels 29 (s. FIG. 2 ), which penetrate the inner door panel 10 approximately at the level of the access flaps 30 to 32 of the salt vessel 14 and the Kombi dosing device 13.
  • the filling openings are also formed as channels 33 and project through the folded edge 11 of the inner door panel 10, so that the containers 18 and 19 are easy to fill with a slightly open door unit 3.
  • a mechanism not shown in the drawings can ensure that the Door is held in this slightly open position, so that the user has to free both hands free.
  • the locking means consist of plungers 34 and 35, respectively rods 36 and 37 of electromagnets 38 and 39 between a first, in FIG. 3a shown position and a second, in FIG. 3b shown position are movable.
  • the upper ends 34.1 and 35.1 of the plunger 34 and 35 are rounded and thus form upper sealing surfaces through which the transition openings 40 and 41 between the reservoirs 18 and 19 and the metering chambers 20 and 21 are closed, as in FIG. 3b shown.
  • the lower ends 34.2 and 35.2 are also rounded and form lower sealing surfaces, with which the inputs of the channels 29 and thus the outlet openings 27 and 28 can be closed to the washing container 2, see FIG.
  • the plunger 34 is lowered and closes with its lower sealing surface 34.2 the outlet opening 27.
  • the reservoir 18 is opened to the metering chamber 20 and consequently the metering chamber 20 is filled.
  • the plunger 34 is then lifted, so that the upper sealing surface 34.1 closes the transition opening 40 and prevents the media 16 from running in the metering chamber 27.
  • the lower sealing surface 34.2 is thereby removed from the channel inlet and releases the outlet opening 27.
  • the dosage of bleach 17 from the reservoir 19 by means of the closure device 23 is analogous.
  • the outlet openings 27 and 28 should be placed so that they are struck by a spray through one of the spray arms (eg, the middle, not shown), thereby allowing the spray jets to clean the sealing seat between the outlet and metering chambers 20 and 21, respectively , The sprays can even partially wash out the metering chamber 20 or 21.
  • the metering chambers 20 and 21 are also dimensioned so that their capacity is only a fraction of a maximum in a washing program metered amount of active ingredient.
  • the detergent consumption can be optimized depending on the load, pollution-dependent or program-dependent, for example by measuring the turbidity of the liquor by means of a corresponding turbidity sensor (not shown).
  • the subsets can be supplied to the washing container at different time intervals of the washing program.
