Definitions
- the invention relates to a water-conducting household appliance according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a make-of-conducting household appliance. Furthermore, the invention relates to a make-of-conducting household appliance.
- the majority of household dishwashers currently in use has an adding device for receiving one or more cleaning agents, which are added during the course of a rinsing cycle of the rinsing liquor for cleaning the sorted in the dishwasher items to be washed.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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. In detergent dosing systems in which several cleaning agents are stored in different chambers of a cartridge or storage containers, there is the problem that with a sensor-controlled addition of the detergent - depending on the degree of soiling of the rinsing liquor - the detergent may be exhausted at different times.

- the device for detecting the predetermined level is designed to determine the level of at least one, but not all, of the chambers.
- the detergent dosing system for dishwashers further comprises a second detection means for detecting the dosing operations performed since the insertion of the full cartridge; and an evaluation means which determines the level of the cleaning agent in the detergent dosing system from the information of at least the second detection means.
- the detergent dosing system uses an indirect procedure according to the first and the second variant.
- the first variant not all of the chambers of the detergent dosing system are monitored for their fill level, but only the monitoring in some of the chambers takes place. On the basis of this information determined can be closed to the global level of detergent in the detergent dosing.
- the device for detecting the predetermined fill level for detecting the fill level is formed exactly one chamber. This procedure ensures an economical and cost-effective design.
- the detergent dosing system has a detergent dispenser with a receiving space for receiving at least one cartridge containing the detergent, and the device for detecting the predetermined filling level is formed in the detergent dispenser and / or the cartridge.

The evaluation is based on a comparison of the coupled and outgoing light radiation.
- the light guide has a first coupling surface and a second coupling surface, wherein the light radiation from the light emitter can be coupled through the first coupling surface and the light radiation emerging from the light guide can be coupled out by the first or the second coupling surface. If the light radiation emerging from the light guide is coupled out through the first coupling surface, then the light transmitter and the light receiver can be formed as a structural unit.
- the light guide may be formed, for example, as a rod, wherein the reflection properties of the light guide are utilized. If the light radiation emerging from the light guide is coupled out through the second coupling surface, the light transmitter and the light receiver are formed separately from one another.
- the light guide can be formed, for example, as a helix, through which the light radiation is directed.
- the light emitter and the light receiver are arranged in the detergent dispenser.
- the light guide is arranged in the cartridge in which the cleaning agent is located.
- light emitter or light receiver and light guide are arranged to each other such that the Lichtein- and light extraction described above can be done.
- a mechanism is preferably provided which ensures that the cartridge can only be inserted into the detergent dispenser in one way, so that the function of the detection device can be ensured. This can be ensured, for example, by a mechanical coding on the cartridge, for example a projection and a corresponding recess on the detergent dispenser, and vice versa.

- the second detection means detects the number of dosing operations and / or the volume each discharged from the detergent dosing system. Based on these parameters, a precise determination of the level is possible. By a permanent comparison of a predetermined level with the calculated level, the decision can be made as to whether the signal is to be given, with which the user is signaled that an exchange of the cartridge is necessary or imminent.
- the detergent dosing system is provided in one embodiment with a transponder, wherein the information stored in the transponder information can be read by the first detection means for further evaluation.
- the cartridge can be provided with a code, in particular a bar code, for recognizing the new or full cartridge, wherein the information stored in the transponder can be read out by the first detection means for further evaluation.
- the first detection means has a receiving device which can read out the information stored in the transponder as it approaches the receiving device.
- the system can work in a passive way, ie the transponder attached to the cartridge does not require a self-sufficient power supply.
- the necessary energy for reading out is the Transponder supplied by the receiving device as soon as it is in the working field.
- the first detection means may for this purpose have a bar code reader which is arranged in the detergent dosing system, so that an automatic readout of the information contained in the bar code takes place as soon as the cartridge is inserted into the detergent dosing system.
- the bar code reader can also be arranged on another assembly of a dishwasher, so that, for example, the user must pass the cartridge past the bar code reader before inserting the cartridge into the detergent dosing system.
- a structurally particularly simple construction of the device for detecting a predetermined fill level of the cleaning agent results when the volume of the detergent stored in the plurality of chambers is dimensioned such that a total of z flushing cycles can be carried out and each of the cleaning agents is used up with the zth flush cycle is.
- This procedure ensures that the cartridge no longer contains any cleaning agents when replaced.
- This state is achieved, in particular, by virtue of a further development of the invention in each rinse cycle, in which a percentage of the at least two cleaning agents is dosed by the dosing system. It can be provided that the total number z of rinsing cycles when consuming multiple cartridges can be variable and is dependent on the respective rinsing cycles performed. In this variant, it is ensured that, regardless of the number of, detergent-storing chambers, a single device for detecting the level (one of the chambers) is sufficient to give reliable information about an empty cartridge or about a possible number of dosing ,

- the opening for equipping the detergent dispenser 1 1 can be arranged in the region of an aperture of the dishwasher or the inner door of the door.
- the advantage of the arrangement according to Fig. 2 is a more convenient insertion and removal of the cartridge for the user.
- 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 dimensioned according to the volume required during a predetermined number of dosing operations.
- the volume of the various cleaning agents is sized in the chambers 51 a to 51 e such that after a certain number of metering operations, preferably between 20 and 40, more preferably about 30, all of the chambers 51 a to 51 e simultaneously and substantially completely are emptied.
- the total number of dosing operations when the cartridge is consumed depends on the type of rinsing cycles performed. In order to meet the different requirements, for each selectable in the dishwasher program a certain dosage is specified or determined by sensors. For weakly soiled dishes, a lower dosage is selected, while for heavily soiled items a higher dosage of cleaning agents is provided. To ensure that each of the detergents is used up with the same rinse cycle, the percentage of each detergent component added to the rinse liquor during a dosing operation is the same. This allows an economical use of the available resources, since an exchange of the cartridge takes place only when it is completely emptied.
- the flow time in which the detergent by opening the reveal closure for further processing from the cartridge are routed, depending on the number of straight Dosing process since inserting a new, full cartridge varies.
- the flow time of the cleaning agents is determined by the formula

- the existing example of a rubber membranes close 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.
- 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.
- the cartridge 50 has a further chamber 52 which communicates with one or more ventilation channels 53.
- the one or more ventilation channels 53 in turn have a connection to the various chambers 51 a to 51 e. 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.
- the detergent dosing system has means for sensing the level of detergent in the cartridge to detect an empty or nearly empty cartridge. If the cleaning agent reaches a predetermined fill level in one or more of the chambers of the cartridge, eg if a predetermined number of flushing cycles is still possible, then this can be displayed to the user via an optical signal.
- the display device may be in a known manner, for example, on the outside of the door, such as the aperture, are. In the figures 4 to 6 different embodiments are shown, in which way a determination of a predetermined level of the cartridge is possible. Due to the above-described method of dosing the detergent stored in different chambers, it is possible to sense the level in only one of the chambers of the cartridge in order to obtain information about the level of the entire cartridge. In principle, it is possible to provide the devices described below for detecting a certain level in any number of chambers of the cartridge, unless the device for determining the level makes a global statement about the level of the detergent.
- the filling level is detected using an optical principle.
- a section of the detergent dosing system 10 is shown in a cross-sectional view.
- the cartridge 50 is located in a receiving space of the detergent dosing system formed by the detergent dispenser 11.
- the housing shape of the cartridge 50 is adapted to the shape of the housing 12 of the detergent dispenser 1 1.
- the arranged at the bottom of a housing stage of the housing 12 cannula 21 a of the chamber 51 a pierces the apparent closure 25 a of the cartridge 50 and projects into the chamber 51 a into it. Contrary to the drawing, the projecting into the chamber 51 a end of the cannula 21 a as close to the bottom of the cartridge 50 is arranged to avoid that a residue of detergent remains in the cartridge.
- the detection of a predetermined level of cleaning agent is carried out by using a transmitting receiving unit 60, which is arranged at the bottom of the housing 12 of the detergent dispenser 1 1.
- a light guide 61 such as a lens, terminates flush with the bottom of the housing 12.
- Corresponding to the light guide 61 is a, for example made of plastic or glass existing light guide 62, fixed in the housing bottom of the cartridge 50. If the cartridge 50, as shown in FIG. 4, is inserted in the detergent dispenser 11, a first coupling surface 63 of the light conductor 62 (which terminates flush with the bottom of the housing of the cartridge 50) adjoins the light-guiding element 61. In this way, light emitted by the transmitting / receiving unit 60 can be coupled into the light guide 62.
- the coupled light radiation reflected and fed back to the light receiver via the coupling surface 63.
- an evaluation in particular a comparison, of the coupled and uncoupled light radiation can be determined whether the second coupling surface 64 is located within the detergent or outside thereof. In these two cases, different refractive properties result on the second coupling surface 64, which are readily detectable by an evaluation unit.
- the light emitted from the light emitter light radiation can be coupled to a first coupling surface and coupled to a second coupling surface of the light guide.
- the second coupling surface is also formed in the bottom of the cartridge 50 in this variant.
- the length or height at which the light guide 62 projects upward into the cartridge 50 in the direction of gravity it can be determined at which level or volume of the cleaning agent a signal is to be emitted.
- a first electrode 70 is formed by the stored in the chamber 51 a detergent.
- a second electrode 71 which is formed by an electrically conductive material, for example, on the outer wall of the housing of the cartridge 50 or the cartridge facing wall of the detergent dispenser 1 1 is arranged.
- the housing wall 72 of the cartridge 50 lying between the first and second electrodes 70, 71 forms a dielectric of the capacitor.
- the detection of the level is carried out by evaluating the voltage applied between the first and the second electrode 70, 71, which varies depending on the level in the chamber 51 a. The variation results from the degree of overlap of the cleaning agent with the second electrode 71 of the capacitor. By comparing the measured voltage with a predetermined voltage, the falling below a predetermined level can be detected.
- the second electrode 71 may extend over the entire width of the chamber 51 a or over the entire Width of the cartridge and extend at any height of the cartridge. In particular, by the height in the direction of gravity upward can be determined at what time a voltage change should be detectable for the first time. Thus, the output of a signal at a predetermined level can be adjusted by the height of the second electrode.
- the detergent dosing system 10 is provided with an excitation means 80, e.g. a piezoelectric ultrasonic generator provided, which is arranged on the detergent dispenser 1 1 so that it can put the cleaning agent in the cartridge 50 in vibration.
- the resulting noise can be detected by an evaluation means, which e.g. is arranged outside the receiving space of the cartridge 50, detected and evaluated.
- an evaluation means which e.g. is arranged outside the receiving space of the cartridge 50, detected and evaluated.
- On the basis of the noise spectrum can be closed in a simple manner to the level of the detergent in the cartridge.
- Another, not shown in the figures, device for monitoring the level of detergent in the cartridge uses an indirect determination, by the dishwasher a detection means for detecting a full cartridge, e.g. a transceiver device of a transponder system or a bar code, as well as a detection means for detecting the dosing performed since the insertion of the full cartridge.
- the latter preferably records the number of metering operations and the volume of cleaning agent respectively discharged from the detergent metering system. From this information, the absolute level of the cleaning agent in the detergent dosing system can be determined in a simple manner.
- At least one housing wall of the cartridge 50 directed toward the washing compartment and / or the lid of the detergent dosing system 10 directed towards the washing compartment is made of an insulating material or else surrounded by an insulation.
- the insulation may be formed by a gas volume arranged in the cover or the respective housing section of the cartridge. 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).
- the detergent dispenser 1 1 may have a further chamber for receiving a solid detergent.
- the solid cleaning agent may be a 3-in-1 tab which is inserted into the further chamber if no or an empty cartridge 50 is contained in the receiving space. The provision of the further chamber 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.
- the further chamber may have an opening which communicates with the environment of the dishwasher.
