Abstract

The invention relates to a method for carrying out a rinsing programme in a domestic dishwasher, said method comprising at least the programme steps washing and clear rinse, which can optionally be preceded by a pre-rinse programme step, separated by an intermediate rinse programme step and followed by a drying programme step, characterized in that a combination preparation, which apart from a cleaning substance also contains a clear rinsing substance, is metered thereto. In order to obtain satisfying results with respect to the drying performance even without using any additional rinsing agents, the combination preparation is added from the same metering device during the clear rinse programme step.

Description

Verfahren zur Durchführung eines Spülprogramms Method for carrying out a washing program
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Durchführung eines Spülprogramms in einer Haushaltsgeschirrspülmaschine, wobei das Verfahren mindestens die Programmabschnitte Reinigen und Klarspülen enthält, gegebenenfalls unter Vorschaltung eines Vorspül- Programmabschnitts, unter Zwischenschaltung eines Zwischenspül-Programmabschnitts und unter Nachschaltung eines Trocknungs-Programmabschnitts, und wobei im Reinigungs- Programmabschnitt ein Kombinationspräparat, welches neben einer Reinigungssubstanz eine Klarspülsubstanz enthält, zudosiert wird.The invention relates to a method for carrying out a washing program in a domestic dishwasher, wherein the method contains at least the program sections cleaning and rinsing, optionally with upstream of a pre-rinse program section, with the interposition of a Zwischenspül program section and downstream of a drying program section, and wherein cleaning - Program section a combination preparation, which contains a rinse aid in addition to a cleaning substance, is metered.
Geschirrspülmaschinen, welche sowohl für die Verwendung von herkömmlichen Reinigern als auch für Kombinationspräparate angepasst sind, sind aus der DE 100 49 489 A1 , aus der DE 102 20 839 A1 , aus der DE 102 30 567 A1 und aus der EP 1 362 547 A2 bekannt. Bei den Kombinationspräparaten handelt es sich um sogenannte "2in1"- und "3in1 "-Tabletten, welche neben dem Reinigungsmittel zusätzlich Klarspüler (2in1 ) oder Klarspüler und Regeneriersalzersatzstoffe (3in1 ) enthalten. Dabei arbeiten einige Präparate nach dem Carry- Over-Prinzip, bei dem sich bereits zu Beginn des Spülprogramms der Klarspüler in einer überdosierten Menge auflöst und wo dann die tatsächlich benötigte Menge durch Verschleppung und Adhäsion am Spülgut bis in den Klarspülgang gelangen soll. Bei anderen Präparaten ist der Klarspüler in Form einer wachsumhüllten Perle integriert, wobei sich das Wachs temperatur- oder pH-Wert-abhängig erst im Klarspülgang auflösen und den Klarspüler freigeben soll. Die aus der DE 100 49 489 A1 , aus der DE 102 20 839 A1 und aus der DE 102 30 567 A1 bekannten Geschirrspülmaschinen sind an die Verwendung solcher Präparate dadurch angepasst, dass Mittel zum Sperren der Klarspülerzufuhr aus der meist in der Gerätetür angeordneten Dosiervorrichtung vorhanden sind.Dishwashers, which are adapted both for the use of conventional cleaners and for combination preparations, are known from DE 100 49 489 A1, from DE 102 20 839 A1, from DE 102 30 567 A1 and from EP 1 362 547 A2 , The combination preparations are so-called "2in1" and "3in1" tablets, which in addition to the detergent also contain rinse aid (2in1) or rinse aid and regenerating salt substitutes (3in1). Some preparations work according to the carry-over principle, in which the rinse aid dissolves in an overdosed amount already at the beginning of the rinsing program and where then the actually required amount is to be transferred to the rinse cycle by carry-over and adhesion to the items to be washed. In other preparations, the rinse aid is integrated in the form of a wax-coated bead, the wax should dissolve depending on the temperature or pH-dependent only in the final rinse and release the rinse aid. The dishwashers known from DE 100 49 489 A1, from DE 102 20 839 A1 and from DE 102 30 567 A1 are adapted to the use of such preparations in that means for blocking the rinse aid supply from the usually arranged in the appliance door metering device available are.
In Programmen, in welchen bereits im Reinigungs-Programmabschnitt hohe Spülflüssigkeitstemperaturen herrschen, arbeiten die vorgenannten Präparate nicht zufriedenstellend, weil der in den Tabletten enthaltene Klarspüler bereits in der Spülflüssigkeit gelöst und am Ende des Programmabschnitts mit der Flüssigkeit entleert wird. Das Fehlen des Klarspülers im abschließenden Klarspül-Programmabschnitt verursacht deshalb ein schlechtes Trocknungsergebnis. Dieses Problem wird gemäß der DE 10 2004 043 657 A1 dadurch gelöst, dass im Klarspül-Programmabschnitt eine geringe Menge Klarspüler aus einer dafür vorgesehenen Dosiereinrichtung zugegeben wird. Für den Anwender ist die Notwendigkeit, flüssigen Klarspüler auch dann in das entsprechende Dosiergerät einzufüllen, wenn er ein Kombinationspräparat mit Klarspülsubstanz verwendet, nur schwer nachvollziehbar. Es kommt deshalb zu Bedienungsfehlern. Der Erfindung stellt sich somit das Problem, ein Verfahren zur Durchführung eines Spülprogramms zu offenbaren, welches auch ohne zusätzliches Klarspülmittel zufriedenstellende Trocknungsergebnisse erreicht.In programs in which high rinsing liquid temperatures already prevail in the cleaning program section, the abovementioned preparations do not work satisfactorily because the rinse aid contained in the tablets is already dissolved in the rinsing liquid and emptied with the liquid at the end of the program section. The absence of the rinse aid in the final rinse program section therefore causes a poor drying result. This problem is solved in accordance with DE 10 2004 043 657 A1 by adding a small amount of rinse aid from a metering device provided for this purpose in the rinse aid program section. For the user, the need to fill liquid rinse aid in the appropriate dosing device even if he uses a combination preparation with rinse aid, difficult to understand. It therefore comes to operating errors. The invention thus presents the problem of disclosing a method for carrying out a washing program which achieves satisfactory drying results even without additional rinse aid.

Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden Unteransprüchen.Patent claim 1 solved. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention will become apparent from the following subclaims.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Zudosierung des Kombinationspräparates im Klarspül- Programmabschnitt wird ein verbessertes Trocknungsergebnis erreicht. Die im Präparat lo enthaltene Reinigerkomponente beeinflusst das Reinigungsergebnis und dasThe inventive metered addition of the combination preparation in the final-rinse program section results in an improved drying result. The cleaner component contained in the preparation lo influences the cleaning result and the
Trocknungsergebnis überraschend nicht, d. h., es bleiben keine Rückstände auf dem Spülgut. Dies ist insbesondere dann der Fall, wenn die zudosierte Menge des Kombinationspräparats im Klarspül-Programmabschnitt geringer als im Reinigungs-Programmabschnitt ist.Drying result surprisingly not, d. h., there are no residues on the dishes. This is the case in particular when the added amount of the combined preparation in the final-rinse program section is lower than in the cleaning program section.
Eine einfache Dosierung ist möglich, wenn ein flüssiges oder gelförmiges Kombinationspräparat i5 verwendet wird. In diesem Fall kann eine aus der früheren deutschen Patentanmeldung 10 2005 059 343 der gleichen Anmelderin bekannte Dosiereinrichtung verwendet werden.Simple dosing is possible when a liquid or gel combination product i 5 is used. In this case, a metering device known from the earlier German patent application 10 2005 059 343 of the same Applicant can be used.

20 Bleichkomponente aufbewahrt werden kann. In vorteilhafter Weise sollte das Gerät eine Bedieneinrichtung besitzen, mit der sowohl "normale" Spülprogramme als auch sogenannte "2in1"- oder "3in1 "-Programme für Kombinationspräparate wählbar sind. Eine solche Geschirrspülmaschine ist aus der DE 102 20 839 A1 hinreichend bekannt und wird deshalb nicht näher beschrieben. Bei einer solchen Geschirrspülmaschine wird ein an sich bekanntes20 bleach component can be stored. Advantageously, the device should have an operating device with which both "normal" irrigation programs and so-called "2in1" or "3in1" programs for combination preparations can be selected. Such a dishwasher is well known from DE 102 20 839 A1 and is therefore not described in detail. In such a dishwasher, a known per se
2s Spülprogramm mit den Abschnitten "Vorspülen", "Reinigen", "Zwischenspülen", "Klarspülen" und "Trocknen" durchgeführt. Im Reinigungs-Programmabschnitt wird dem Spülbehälter, wie in der deutschen Patentanmeldung 10 2005 059 343 beschrieben, zunächst ein Reinigungsmittel, anschließend ein Bleichmittel zugeführt. Beide Mittel können mehrmals in kleinen Portionen zudosiert werden. Wird als Reinigungsmittel ein Kombinationspräparat verwendet, welches2s Rinse program with the sections "Pre-rinse", "Cleaning", "Intermediate rinse", "Rinse" and "Drying" performed. In the cleaning program section, the washing container, as described in the German patent application 10 2005 059 343, initially a cleaning agent, then fed to a bleaching agent. Both remedies can be dosed several times in small portions. Is used as a cleaning agent, a combination preparation, which
30 neben der Reinigersubstanz ein Klarspülmittel ("2in1"), manchmal sogar zusätzlich noch eine Enthärtungssubstanz ("3in1") oder noch andere Substanzen enthält, so kann der Benutzer durch Wahl der "2in1 "-Taste oder der "3in1 "-Taste die Zugabe von Klarspülmittel aus einer ebenfalls bekannten Klarspülmittel-Dosiereinrichtung unterdrücken. In diesem Fall wird dem Spülbehälter im Klarspül-Programmabschnitt eine weitere Menge des Kombinationspräparates aus der dafür vorgesehenen Dosiereinrichtung zugeführt. Dabei ist die zudosierte Menge im Klarspül-Programmabschnitt geringer als im Reinigungs-Programmabschnitt. 30 in addition to the detergent substance a rinse aid ("2in1"), sometimes even additionally contains a softening substance ("3in1") or other substances, the user can by adding the "2in1" button or the "3in1" button the addition of rinse aid from a likewise known rinse aid dispenser suppress. In this case, the rinsing container in the rinse program section another amount of the combination preparation supplied from the dedicated metering device. The amount added in the rinse program section is less than in the cleaning program section.
