Definitions

  • the invention relates to a Ein Hughesvorrauma for flushing detergent or treatment agents in a washing machine and a washing machine with such a dispenser.
  • Known Ein Schweizervoriquesen have a container which defines at least one chamber with a bottom and side walls.
  • the chamber is suitable and equipped to absorb detergent. It is further provided that the detergent can be flushed out of the chamber with a liquid.
  • a means for distributing the liquid is provided, with which distributed over several locations, the liquid can be flushed into the chamber to flush detergent from the chamber.
  • Such a distribution means has for the flushing of the liquid in the chamber usually one or more nozzles.
  • a dish rack for a dishwasher is known that is provided with a coating that effects a water distribution for improved drying.
  • the invention has for its object to improve a dispenser to the effect that the detergent is rinsed as completely as possible from the chamber.
  • the surfaces of the soil are hydrophobic and the surfaces of the side walls of a chamber are hydrophilic. Further, it is possible that the floor and the surfaces have different roughnesses, the floor having a lower roughness than the side walls. This can be an instrument to produce the different hydrophobic or hydrophilic properties of the floor and the side walls. Hydrophobic refers in this context to a poor wettability of the surface with water, while hydrophilic means a good wettability of the surface with water.
  • the side walls of a chamber of a dispenser according to the invention can have a groove as a transition region to the bottom. In this groove, it also often leads to residues of detergent residues. To reduce this, the area of the groove with the low roughness is designed.
  • the chamber of the flushing device consists of a plastic material, wherein the roughness is impressed into the surface of the material itself. This is easily provided by the injection molding tool itself having the predetermined roughness for the respective surfaces.
  • the different roughness of the surfaces can also be produced by additional coatings or the like.
  • the roughness of the soil is less than or equal to 1 micron.
  • the roughness of the soil is less than or equal to 0.1 microns. Detergent residues can adhere only slightly to this extremely smooth floor, so that rinsing is even further improved.
  • the roughness of the side walls is advantageously carried out greater than 3 microns. This ensures that the water on the side walls does not drain off too quickly and provides a surface wetting. This prevents detergent residues from adhering to the sidewalls. With detergent residues already attached, the water can creep along the surface, releasing the detergent residue. To improve the effect, a roughness of greater than or equal to 4 ⁇ m is used.
  • the object is also achieved with a washing machine with a dispenser, as described above.
  • washing machine W is externally constructed as a known from the prior art washing machine.
  • a known for a washing machine of the front loader type door T via a washing drum of the washing machine W for filling or removal of the laundry is accessible.
  • a control and display panel B is provided in an area above the door T in an area above the door T in an area above the door T in an area above the door T in an area above the door T in an area above the door T is on the front of the washing machine W a control and display panel B is provided on which various control buttons and display elements are provided. By pressing the buttons, the washing machine W can be controlled. In particular, a program selection is possible.
  • the dispenser E is provided at the usual place in washing machines in the upper left corner on the front side of the washing machine W.
  • the directions refer to the operating position of the washing machine W.
  • the dispenser E includes a container 3, which can be pulled out in the manner of a drawer to fill the detergent in chambers of the container 3.
  • the essence of the dispenser E which is located within the washing machine W, is in Fig. 2 shown.
  • the essential parts are formed by an extendable container 3, a distribution means 2 and a housing (not shown).
  • the container 3 is arranged as a displaceable part below the distribution means 2.
  • the container 3 (see in particular Fig. 3 ) has three chambers 3A, 3B, 3C, wherein all three chambers 3A, 3B, 3C are suitable and adapted for filling of detergents.
  • the chamber 3A or the chamber 3B are provided for receiving detergents or powdery detergents for a main wash or pre-wash.
  • the detergent container 3C is provided for receiving liquid fabric softener.
  • the chamber 3C is provided in a front area of the container 3, while the chambers 3A, 3B are arranged side by side in the middle and rear area.
  • the bottom 31 of the chamber 3A and the chamber 3B is inclined backwards.
  • the chambers 3A and 3B are bounded by a bottom 31 and side walls 32.
  • a back wall is not provided. Due to the lack of back wall, it is possible that liquid that has been flushed into the chambers 3A, 3B, on the rear side of the container 3 from the chambers 3A, 3B runs out to get into the tub or in the washing drum.
  • the distribution means 2 is intended to flush water at different locations into the chambers 3A, 3B, 3C.
  • the distribution means 2 is designed so that water can be flushed into each chamber separately.
  • the distribution of the liquid in the respective sections 2A1, 2A2, 2A3 via a so-called water switch (not shown), which in turn is controlled by the controller of the washing machine W as a function of the wash program.
  • the first section of the distribution means 2A is associated with the first chamber 3A and is divided into three sections.
  • a number of nozzles 24, 25, 26 are provided, via which the liquid can be flushed into the chamber 3A.
  • the nozzles 24, 25, 26 are aligned so that the water can be sprayed against sidewalls 32 and the floor 31.
  • the surface of the bottom 31 of at least the first chamber 3A is designed to be hydrophobic, so that liquids roll off the bottom 31 and hardly have the opportunity to wet the bottom 31.
  • the surface of the groove-shaped transition region 33 is at least partially also made hydrophobic.
  • the side walls 32 of at least the first chamber 3A are made hydrophilic, so that liquids wet the side walls 32 well and spread well on the side walls 32. Only in a directly adjacent to the bottom 31 transition region of the side walls 32, which is formed as a groove 33, and the side walls 32 may be made hydrophobic in this area.
  • the hydrophobization of the floor 31 or the hydrophilization of the side walls 32 is achieved by different roughnesses of the bottom 31 and the side walls 32.
  • the bottom 31 has, for example, an average roughness with a depth of less than or equal to 0.1 ⁇ m, while the average roughness of the side walls 32 is approximately 4 ⁇ m.
  • the different degrees of roughness can be achieved by a corresponding surface of the tools used to make the container 3. It is also possible to achieve the different roughness values or the different wettability for water by coatings of the surfaces or the like.
  • the aftertreatment of the surfaces after the production of the container 3 is conceivable, for example by chemicals or mechanical processing, such as grinding or polishing.
  • the groove-shaped transition region 33 is likewise provided with a low roughness, here of less than or equal to 0.1 ⁇ m depth, so that the surface is also in this region is adjusted hydrophobic.
  • the low roughness of the bottom 31 or the transition region 33 is achieved by a very smooth mold for the injection molding.
  • the higher roughness for the sidewalls 32 is achieved by bringing the tool to the desired roughness, as described above, in this area by means of a polish or so-called polish.
