Description

Cartridge and water-conducting household appliance with a detergent dosing system for a cartridge

The invention relates to a cartridge according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a water-conducting household appliance with a Reinigungsmitteldosiersystem.

The majority of household dishwashers currently in use, for example, has an adding device for receiving one or more cleaning agents which are added to the washing liquor during the course of a washing cycle for cleaning the items to be sorted in the dishwasher. Usually, the detergent stored in the adding device is completely discharged into the washing compartment during the rinsing cycle and mixed with the rinsing water circulated therein. The addition device is sized in size so that just the required amount of detergent for a rinse cycle can be filled. The user of the dishwasher is therefore forced to fill in the adding device the amount of detergent required for the rinse cycle at the beginning of each rinse cycle. This handling is inconvenient for the user of the dishwasher. Moreover, such dishwashers have the problem that the amount of cleaning agent introduced into the adding device may vary from user to user, but also from one rinse to another. On the one hand, an incorrectly metered amount of cleaning agent can lead to unsatisfactory scavenging results if the cleaning agents have been dispensed too low and, on the other hand, a waste of cleaning agents and thus environmental pollution if too large an amount of cleaning agent has been dispensed.

Addition devices which add the amount of cleaning agents stored therein at once to the rinsing liquor still do not permit the implementation of more complex rinsing programs. Thus, it may be useful, for example, in certain situations, to meter in the detergent at different times of the wash liquor. Addition devices configured to receive a single detergent dose can not support such complex rinse cycles.

The use of a container or a cartridge in a detergent dosing system involves the problem that during removal of the container or the cartridge from the detergent dosing system, any remaining cleaning agent may escape. Depending on the substances contained in them, leakage of the cleaning agents could endanger the health of the persons in contact with the cleaning agent.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a cartridge and a water-conducting household appliance, which do not have the above-mentioned disadvantage. It is a further object of the invention to specify a detergent dosing system.

This object is achieved by a cartridge according to the invention with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments will be apparent from the dependent claims.

The cartridge according to the invention for use in a detergent dosing system of a water-conducting household appliance, in particular a domestic dishwasher, has at least one detergent dispenser with a receiving space for receiving at least one cartridge, wherein the cartridge has separate chambers for receiving at least one cleaning agent. It is inventively provided that the chambers are at least with at least one open and at least once again closable closure in combination. Since the cartridge only has to be opened once when it is inserted into a detergent dosing system and only has to be closed once when it is removed from a detergent system, it is preferably provided that the closure is designed for a single opening and a one-time closure.

It is preferably provided that the closure for the automatic opening and closing during insertion or removal of the cartridge is formed in a Reinigungsmitteldosiersystem. The closure serves during the Storage and transport so that the stored in the cartridge detergent can not leak unintentionally. The closure is opened at the moment in which the cartridge is inserted into the detergent dispenser of the detergent dosing system, so that a metered addition of the detergent to the rinsing liquor is possible during the further operation of the dishwasher. The openable closure can eg be arranged in the direction of gravity at the bottom, ie at the bottom of the cartridge, when the cartridge is in the installed position in the detergent dosing system. As a result, the complete emptying of the cartridge is facilitated in its installed position, whereby no detergent remains unused in the cartridge. It can be ensured that no detergent can escape from the cartridge after removal from the detergent dosing system. A structurally particularly simple design and inexpensive to manufacture cartridge results when the apparent closure is formed by a membrane, a film or an elastomer. If the cartridge is made of a plastic, for example, then the cartridge can be manufactured together with the reveal closure by a two-component injection process in one step.

Preferably, a cartridge according to the invention has at least one closure which, when the cartridge is inserted into the detergent dosing system, is arranged corresponding to an opening means of the detergent dosing system so that the openable closure is brought into an open position, in which the cleaning agent, in particular by the detergent dosing system, is in one Rinse cycle is zugebbar.

The cartridge according to the invention is provided with an openable closure which, on insertion into the detergent dosing system, is apparently self-evident and automatically closable when the cartridge is removed from the detergent dosing system. The apparent closure is disposed upon insertion of the cartridge into the detergent dosing system, corresponding to a cannula of the detergent dosing system, so as to penetrate the apparent seal. The cannula is stationary in the detergent dosing system. In this way, cleaning agent can be introduced into the detergent dosing system via the cannula during a rinsing cycle and metered into the rinsing liquor by the latter. On the other hand, the cartridge is out of the Removed detergent dosing, so closed due to the elastic properties of the apparent closure caused by the cannula opening, that leakage of any remaining therein residues of detergent is prevented. This is provided with the simplest means an at least once again closable closure.

The number of open closures of the cartridge corresponds in one embodiment to the number of cleaning agents stored in the cartridge or to a number of chambers receiving the cleaning agents.

The at least one cleaning agent is stored in respective chambers of the cartridge, further comprising a venting chamber operatively connected to the chambers. The storage of different cleaning agents in different chambers has the advantage that in a certain section of a rinsing cycle only that cleaning agent needs to be added, which is actually necessary for this rinsing section. Of course, it is possible that during a certain portion of a rinsing cycle, several of the cleaning agents are added simultaneously. Furthermore, it is possible to arrange a plurality of cleaning agents in a common chamber of the cartridge. The ventilation chamber ensures that in the respective, detergent receiving chambers with increasing emptying no negative pressure can occur, which would be a detrimental to a dosing of detergent in the wash liquor.

In this case, provision is made in particular for the ventilation chamber to be in operative connection via ventilation channels, which are provided in a common cover closing off the individual chambers, with which the chambers receiving the cleaning agent are operatively connected. If the cartridge is arranged in the detergent dosing system, the lid is arranged in the direction of gravity at the top. This ensures that with increasing emptying of the respective chambers of the cartridge air can flow into the chambers and the leakage or metering of the respective cleaning agent is simple and precise vornehmbar.

The cartridge may further comprise at least one conveying device with which at least one cleaning agent, in particular via the detergent dosing system, For example, in the washing compartment of the dishwasher is eligible. The conveyor may be formed, for example, in the form of a pump. However, the promotion of the cleaning agent in the washing compartment of the dishwasher can also take place by utilizing gravity, the conveyor in this case forms the function of a valve which allows or prevents the leakage of detergent from the respective chambers of the cartridge. In particular, it is possible to provide a number of conveyors corresponding to the number of cleaning agents.

To prevent incorrect insertion of the cartridge in the detergent dispenser, the housing of the cartridge has a mechanical coding, formed for example. By projections or guides. The coding is designed such that the cartridge can be inserted into the detergent dispenser in only one way, the predetermined way. In this way it is ensured that the apparent closure can be arranged corresponding to the opening means of the detergent dosing system.

The cartridge may have any suitable shape. Preferably, however, it is provided that the housing of the cartridge has a longitudinal extent along a main axis. This may be e.g. a quarter-shaped body with a longitudinal axis, for example, along the width, act, which is much longer than all other axes (along the depth and the height). But it may also be a cone, truncated cone, cylinder, pyramid or truncated pyramidal basic body with a major axis.

It is preferred that the major axis is longer than minor axes of the housing with one of the above basic shape of the cartridge, for example by the factor at least 1, 5. Furthermore, the base body may preferably have an extension along a first minor axis, eg along the height, and an extension along a second minor axis, eg along the depth, wherein the extent along the first minor axis is substantially longer than the extent along the second minor axis For example, by a factor of 5 to 10, preferably 5. A particularly good handling of the cartridge and an appropriate volume of respective cleaning agent arise when the housing of the cartridge has a quarry-shaped basic shape with a depth of about 25 mm, a width of about 200 mm and a height of about 125 mm. In particular, the preferred total number z of rinsing cycles between 20 and 40, preferably 30, rinsing cycles can be realized with such dimensions.

In a preferred embodiment it is provided that the chambers of the cartridge along the main axis are arranged side by side. That is, in a cartridge having a square basic shape and extending in the direction of the main axis, the division into chambers leads to chamber dimensions in which the dimension of a chamber is the number of chambers corresponding proportion of the width, while for all chamber an equal depth and Height is given.

Finally, it is preferably provided that at least one of the chambers comprises at least one of the following ingredients: alkali carriers, e.g. Caustic, complexing and dispersing agents; e.g. polymers; Enzymes such as amylase, protease or lipase; Bleaching agent, e.g. hydrogen peroxide; Bleach activator, and surfactants, such as e.g. nonionic surfactants. Furthermore, a biocidal fluid can be additionally stored. In particular, biocides can be stored against bacteria (bactericides), against fungi (fungicides), against germs (microbicides), against viruses (virucides) and also against algae (algicides), the addition of which can lead to unpleasant odor developments by e.g. Biofilm formation during longer periods to stop.

The invention further comprises a household appliance carrying water, in particular a domestic dishwasher with a detergent dosing system, and characterized in that the detergent dosing system has a detergent dispenser with at least one receiving space for receiving at least one cartridge with at least one openable closure and opening means are arranged such that at least one inserted Cartridge, the at least one closure is brought into an open position. In this case, the detergent dosing system can be formed adjacent to a washing compartment of the dishwasher in the interior of the dishwasher. The detergent dispenser has a receiving space for at least one cartridge containing at least one cleaning agent, wherein the stored amount of cleaning agent is greater than the amount required for a rinsing cycle. The detergent dosing system provides exactly the amount of detergent needed for a rinse cycle. The detergent dosing system according to the invention thus comprises as main components a detergent dispenser stationarily arranged in the dishwasher and also a cartridge containing at least one detergent.

The opening means of the detergent dosing system takes on the task of exposing the access to the cartridge as soon as it has been inserted into the detergent dispenser of Reinigungsmitteldosiersystems. Incidentally, the same advantages are associated with it, as already explained above.

The opening means of the detergent dosing system according to the invention is formed by a cannula, wherein the openable closure is arranged upon insertion of at least one cartridge into the detergent dosing system corresponding to the cannula, so that the closure of the at least one cartridge is penetrated by the latter. It goes without saying that in the case of a plurality of closable closures, a corresponding number of correspondingly arranged cannulas is provided, which in each case effect a penetration of the relevant closure. Regardless, it can also be provided that a plurality of opening means, in particular cannulas, are assigned to an openable closure. Thus, for example, the volume flow in a certain time beiflussed without special control.

In order to ensure a corresponding mounting of the at least one cartridge to the opening means of the detergent dispenser, a holding device for holding and fixing the position of the cartridge is included in the detergent dosing system. The holding device is formed in one embodiment by a receptacle on a lid of the detergent dispenser, which is movable between an open position and a closed position, in particular pivotable, and closes the receiving space in the closed position. This ensures in addition to the proper, positionally correct mounting of the cartridge for easier insertion and replacement of an empty cartridge. The receptacle can be formed, for example, by retaining lugs formed on the cover L-shaped, with first portions of the retaining tabs extending approximately perpendicularly away from a main face of the cover and on the ends of the first facing away from the main face Sections are arranged to these approximately perpendicular second sections, while facing away from the first sections ends facing each other.

The detergent dosing system may further comprise a positioning device for positioning the at least one cartridge in the detergent dispenser, which forces a predetermined seating of the cartridge in the detergent dosing system when the cartridge is disposed in the receiving space. By means of the device for positioning the at least one cartridge, it is possible to ensure that the intended corresponding arrangement of apparent closures and opening means of the detergent dispenser is maintained. This ensures the metered addition of the cleaning agent as intended.

In a further embodiment, it is provided that the detergent dosing system has at least one, with the washing compartment in operative connection, outlet through which a fixed amount of detergent the wash liquor is supplied during a rinse cycle, wherein the at least one outlet is provided on the detergent dispenser , It is expedient if the at least one outlet is provided on the housing section of the detergent dispenser, which is arranged in the direction of gravity below the receiving space. In this case, a number of outlets can be provided, which corresponds to the number of detergent stored in the cartridge or the number of the detergent receiving chambers.

The at least one outlet of the detergent dosing system opens into a metering chamber which is in operative connection with the cleaning agent. This means that the metering chamber via the opening means or the cannula, and possibly a controllable valve o. Ä. connected to the cleaning agent. The metering chamber may be associated with a conveyor, with which the detergent is fed from the cartridge to the washing compartment. The conveyor is expediently arranged in the metering chamber. The dosage can be made for example by a pump. Alternatively, the delivery via gravity and the dosage on the determination of a flow time can be done. This variant forces the apparent shutter to be located lower in the direction of gravity when the Cartridge is in the installed position in the detergent dosing system, which is otherwise a preferred arrangement.

The detergent dosing system according to the invention may further comprise at least one further chamber for a solid detergent. The provision of such a further chamber has the advantage that the operation of the dishwasher can be ensured even if the at least one cartridge no longer contains cleaning agents and the user has no further filled cartridge at hand.

The detergent dosing system is preferably arranged such that it can only be reached by an operator when the door is open. Thus, the detergent dosing system is arranged according to a variant in a side wall of the washing compartment between an upper basket and a lower basket of the dishwasher. Alternatively, the detergent dosing system can be arranged on a door of the dishwasher which is designed to be pivotable relative to the washing compartment. The training takes place in this variant on the door such that a placement of the detergent dispenser with the cartridge from the front side of the door takes place. The assembly can take place in the region of a panel of the door or an inner door of the door of the dishwasher.

The invention further comprises a detergent dosing system.

The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. Show it:

1 shows a dishwasher according to the invention with a cleaning agent metering system, which is arranged in a container wall,

FIG. 2 shows a top view of a detergent dosing system according to the invention for arrangement in the container wall of the dishwasher, FIG.

3 shows a cross section through the detergent dosing system shown in FIG. 3, and FIG 4 shows an exemplary embodiment of a cartridge for use in a detergent dosing system according to the invention.

Fig. 1 shows a dishwasher 1 according to the invention, which has a pivotally mounted on a housing 2 door 3. The door 3 is shown in the figure in its open position. In a closable by the door 3 Spülraum 4 dish racks 5, 6 are arranged in a known manner. A detergent dosing system 10, comprising a detergent dispenser 1 1 and a cartridge 50, which contains at least two separately stored detergent, is arranged in a container wall 7 of the housing 2. FIG. 1 shows the preferred arrangement of the detergent dosing system 10 between the upper basket 5 and the lower rack 6. The detergent dispenser 1 1 accommodating the cartridge 50 is arranged in a section of the container wall 7 close to the door opening in order to insert and remove the cartridge 50 in or out of the detergent dispenser 1 1 to facilitate the user.

FIGS. 2 and 3 show a plan view and a cross section through the detergent dosing system 10 as used in the dishwashing machine of FIG. 1. FIG. 2 shows the detergent dispenser 1 1 arranged in the container wall. This comprises a housing 12 and a relative to the housing 12 pivotally mounted cover 14. If the lid 14, as shown in Fig. 3, in its open position, the cartridge 50 can be inserted from the washing chamber 4 forth in the lid 14. The lid 14 has for holding and fixing via two symmetrically arranged retaining tabs 17, which have an L-shaped configuration and are adapted to the size of the cartridge 50, so that the retaining tabs 17 engage around the cartridge 50 after insertion. On the lid 14, a support surface 30 is further formed, so that the cartridge 50 comes to rest in a defined position. By closing the lid 14, the cartridge is placed in a receiving space 15 of the detergent dispenser 1 1 and pressed by any existing lugs and / or projections on the housing of the detergent dispenser in its final position.

As can be clearly seen from the cross-sectional illustration of FIG. 3, the outer circumference of the housing 12 of the detergent dispenser 11 has a fold. Of the Umbug serves to receive a seal 32 which is inserted between the fold and the container wall 7. In this way, the penetration of water or moisture in the direction of the back of the container wall 7 is prevented.

In addition to the receptacle for the cartridge, the detergent dispenser 1 1 has a chamber 27 for receiving a solid detergent. At the fixed

Cleaning agent may be, for example, a 3-in-1 tab, which in the

Chamber 27 is inserted when in the receiving space 15 no or empty

Cartridge 50 is included. The provision of the chamber 27 for receiving a solid

Detergent makes it possible to use the dishwasher even when the cartridge 50 is empty and no filled cartridge is available.

As can be seen in FIG. 3, the chamber 27 has an opening 31, which communicates with the surroundings of the dishwasher. The opening 31 may be connected for this purpose via channels, not shown in the figures, which extend on the back of the container wall 7, with the environment. The detergent dosing integrated so that the functionality of a so-called "expansion opening", which serves for the derivation of the resulting pressure in the washing compartment when the dishwasher z. B. is opened during a rinse cycle with already heated rinse liquor by the user and closed again. The overpressure arising at this moment can then be discharged via the chamber 27 and the opening 31 to the environment.

The integration of the expansion opening into the detergent dosing system and the possibility of being able to provide all cleaning agents and operating means for the operation of the dishwasher with the detergent dosing system result in a considerably simpler constructional design compared to conventional dishwashers. In particular, only one opening for the detergent dosing system 10 has yet to be provided in the washing compartment of the dishwasher. Other openings, as previously necessary to provide the expansion opening and / or the adding device, can be dispensed with. As a result, the manufacturing process of the dishwasher can be accomplished with fewer steps. Furthermore, eliminates the need for each of the openings for one of said functional parts to be provided with a complex seal. Overall, this makes it possible to produce a cheaper dishwasher.

An exemplary embodiment of the cartridge 50 according to the invention is shown in FIG. 4. The cartridge 50 has, by way of example only, five chambers 51 a, 51 b, 51 c, 51 d and 51 e for receiving a respective cleaning agent or a detergent mixture. The size of the individual chambers 51 a to 51 e is preferably dimensioned in accordance with the volume required during a predetermined number of rinsing cycles. Preferably, the volume of the various cleaning agents in the chambers 51 a to 51 e is dimensioned such that after a certain number of rinsing cycles, preferably between 20 and 40, more preferably about 30, all the chambers 51 a to 51 e are completely emptied. Each of the chambers 51a to 51e is provided with a shutter 25a to 25e, e.g. in the form of a membrane, a film or an elastomer. The e.g. consisting of a rubber membrane closes the individual chambers 51 a to 51 e sealingly, so that during storage and transport of the cartridge 50 no detergent can escape from them. When the cartridge 50 is inserted into the detergent dispenser 11, the membranes are pierced by cannulas 21 (see Fig. 3) arranged correspondingly in the detergent dispenser 11, so that detergent can be added to the washing compartment in accordance with a corresponding metering device. Due to the elastic properties of a membrane, a film or an elastomer is further ensured that the caused by stinging opening when removing the cartridge from the detergent dispenser 10 automatically closes again. This ensures that in normal handling of the cartridge may still not run out in this detergent residues.

The cartridge is preferably made of a plastic and has a width B of about 200 mm, a height H of about 125 mm and a depth of about 25 mm. With these dimensions, the volume of the various chambers can be dimensioned such that the desired 20 to 40 rinsing cycles can be carried out by means of a cartridge.

In addition to the chambers 51 a to 51 e, the cartridge 50 has a further chamber 52 which communicates with one or more ventilation channels 53. The ventilation channel or channels 53 in turn have a connection to the various chambers 51 a to 51 e on. In this way, it is ensured that with increasing emptying of the chambers 51 a to 51 e no negative pressure can build up in this, whereby the addition of cleaning agents would be difficult or falsified. The ventilation channels 53 are preferably located in a lid 54, which is applied after filling the individual chambers 51 a to 51 e with the respective cleaning agents on the housing of the cartridge. The cover 54 may have a pressure relief valve 55, which may be necessary for certain detergent components.

Since the detergent contained in the cartridge 50 are added only gradually to the washing compartment, more specifically the washing liquor circulated in the washing compartment, during a plurality of washing cycles, they are exposed to considerable absolute temperatures and temperature fluctuations with each washing cycle. In order to prevent the properties of the cleaning agents from changing over time, at least one housing wall 13 of the cartridge 50 directed towards the washing compartment and / or the lid 14 of the detergent dosing system 10 directed towards the washing compartment is made of an insulating material or else with surrounded by an insulation 33. As a result, a heat flow from the washing compartment in the direction of the detergent dosing system or the detergent stored in the cartridge is limited so that the long-term stability of the cleaning agent used is ensured. The insulation 33 may be formed by a arranged in the lid or the respective housing portion of the cartridge gas volume. This gas volume producing the insulation can be introduced during the production of the lid or the cartridge. The process used here is known as the gas internal pressure process (GID).

In the housing 12 of the detergent dispenser 1 1 further outlets 19 a to 19 e are provided. The outlets 19a to 19e each open into a metering chamber 20a to 2Oe. The metering chambers are in each case via the cannulas with an associated chamber of the cartridge in combination.

In each of the metering chambers, a conveying device, not shown, is arranged, which causes the conveying of a predetermined amount of cleaning agents in the washing compartment. The conveying of the cleaning agent can be done either exclusively by utilizing gravity. However, the conveyor may also be constructed according to the principle of a pump, so that are conveyed by a corresponding negative pressure detergent from the cleaning chamber into the metering chamber and by a corresponding pressure from the metering chamber 20a in the washroom.
