Definitions
- the invention relates to a dispensing device - in particular a toilet spooler - with an electromechanically induced release of preparations, in particular in a toilet bowl
- compositions are of relevance to a variety of applications
- the dosage of flowable substances is of increasing importance, which is primarily due to the exact and needs controlled dosage of the corresponding active ingredients, which on the one hand protects the environment by conserving resources and avoiding over- and overdoses, on the other hand, the efficiency of the drugs so dosed is optimized
- toilet winder are one or Mehrcrobehaltmsse that are hung in the toilet bowl so that when winding the toilet bowl with water a Drug delivery from the toilet winder into the toilet bowl takes place
- a major disadvantage of this toilet winder is that the dosage depends essentially on the respective local flow conditions in the toilet bowl during the winding process.
- the flow conditions can be very different depending on the type of toilet and the positioning of the toilet spooler in or on the toilet bowl occur, for example, that in some types of toilet no drug release from the toilet bobbin winder, since the toilet bobbin spooling is not or not sufficiently covered with water and the metering mechanism of the toilet spooler is thus not triggered
- the release of the active ingredients from such toilet wipers is usually carried out by the penetration of rinsing water through openings in the toilet winder, wherein the drug substances are salaried and discharged at the outlet of the rinsing water through appropriate Aust ⁇ ttso réelleen from the toilet winder and washed away Depending on the arrangement of the toilet -Spulers in the toilet this is through the often locally very different Stromungsverhaltmsse the Spulementaustritts from the edge of the toilet flows through the toilet at different levels, which can be realized only a diffuse release of the active ingredients
- the rinsing water flow is usually influenced by the introduction of a toilet spooler as a result of the changed flow conditions.
- the rinsing water flow is often influenced in such a way that splash water is sprayed upwards from the toilet bowl, so that rinsing water comes out of the toilet bowl or can come in contact with the user when using the toilet, which is regularly perceived as unpleasant
- the object of the invention is therefore to realize an electrically betnebene Abgabevurnchtung, in particular a toilet winder, with the lowest possible energy consumption or the longest possible Batte ⁇ elebensdauer
- the object is achieved with a dispensing device - in particular a toilet winder - according to the features of claim 1
- the dispensing device according to the invention - in particular a toilet spooler for dispensing at least one preparation into the interior of a toilet bowl - comprises a dosing device, at least one container which can be coupled to the dosing device for storing at least one preparation, a dispensing element for dispensing preparation, the dispensing element being connected via a line communicating with the container is connected and the bottom of the container is arranged in the direction of gravity above the discharge opening of the discharge element, so that between the container bottom and the discharge opening of the delivery element a height difference .DELTA.h is formed, wherein in the coupled state of container and Dosiergerat the line at least partially in Gravity direction runs above the level of the filling level of the preparation, so that in the direction of flow of the preparation through the line against the direction of gravity a height difference of .DELTA.H is formed on the dosing device with

- the preparations to be dosed may have a pH of between 2 and 12, depending on the intended use, all components of the WC-Spulers that come into contact with the preparations should have a corresponding acid and / or alkali resistance by a suitable Mate ⁇ alaus angles largely chemically inert, for example against nonionic surfactants, enzymes and / or fragrances
- the dosing device is substantially watertight, ie the dosing device is functional even when fully enclosed with liquid
- multicomponent epoxy, and acrylate casting compounds such as methacrylate esters, urethane-metha and cyanoacrylates or two-component Mate ⁇ alien can be used with polyurethanes, silicones, epoxy resins
- a significant advantage of the invention is to be seen in the separation of the WC-Spulers in a dosing and in a coupled with the dosing device container, whereby the toilet spooler can be used flexibly for a variety of applications and can be easily adapted
- the number of mandrels formed on the metering device corresponds to the number of chambers of the container
- a plurality of mandrels are connected to a conduit. This means that at least preparations from two different chambers of the container are guided via a conduit. Of course, it is also possible that all the mandrels are connected to a single conduit
- each of the spikes is connected to a separate line
- each line is connected to a separate dispensing element.
- the delivery elements are any kind of devices which are suitable for delivering a preparation to the environment of the dosing device
- the delivery elements may, for example, be selected from the group of nozzles, valves, spray heads, drop dispensers, foam spray heads, piezo elements, porous elements, wick systems, capillary systems, nebulizers, ultrasonic vaporizers, ionization nebulizers, etc
- Electrically controllable nozzles, valves, atomizers, spray heads, piezo elements, sintered plates, porous elements, wick systems and the like are particularly suitable for dispensing active compound preparation into the air
- the dispensing elements can have the same or different spray cone shapes when dispensing the preparations. For example, it is conceivable that one dispensing element produces a jet with a rather punctiform application surface, while another dispensing element produces a flat application field. Of course, various combinations of different spray cone shapes are conceivable
- the dispensing element can be so movably arranged on the toilet spooler that the user can align the spray cone that can be generated by the dispensing element to a desired application field.
- the dispensing element can have means that allow the spray cone shape to be adjusted
- the delivery member may further provide means for electrostatically charging drug droplets, thereby improving wetting, adherence and / or distribution of the agent on a surface and / or in the air
- the dispensing elements may be configured such that one or more active ingredients are dispensed from one another in different directions.
- dispensing element movably on the bracket of the toilet spooler.
- the dispensing element and the sprue cone of the preparation can thereby be purposefully aligned by the user in order to wet a defined application field in or on the toilet with preparation
- the dispensing element or elements are advantageously configured in such a way that a defined dispensing amount of at least one active ingredient preparation is applied to the toilet bowl independently of the positioning of the toilet bowl and defined in the interior of a toilet bowl.
- Advantages of such an embodiment include the more specific exposure of toilet bowl surfaces
- the pan may be wetted with an adherent reducing agent, while an active ingredient may be reduced on the walls funnel-shaped from the pan to the edge of the toilet of limescale is applied
- control unit generates a control signal for the release of active ingredient preparation when a Spulwasserauslosung takes place and a control signal to terminate the drug release when the flow through the toilet bowl is finished with rinsing water
- inventive WC-Spulers derive the first delivery amount and at least the second delivery amount of the same or different drug formulations
- the first delivery quantity and at least the second delivery quantity are released at mutually different points in time
- a control unit in the sense of this application is a device that is suitable, the
- control unit may be a programmable microprocessor.
- a plurality of dosing programs are stored on the microprocessor, which can be selected and executed in accordance with the container coupled to the WC spooler. It is of course also conceivable that the dosing programs are manually retrievable by the user
- the control unit is also preferably arranged on the outside of the toilet bowl, from where it can be operated by the user in a simple way, especially when the user sits on the toilet
- control unit may comprise a dosing program for introducing at least two mutually different active compound preparations into a toilet bowl or into the environment of the toilet bowl, at least two different active substance preparations being released on at least two consecutive times ti and t 2 , wherein at least one preparation of active ingredient is introduced into the interior of a toilet bowl
- An essential advantage of such a dosing program is, inter alia, an optimized cleaning performance by the most precise control of possible chemical reactions by a corresponding time delayed release of the corresponding preparation or preparations, of which some, but not exhaustive examples are listed in the table below
- a further advantage is then to be seen that a controlled release of one or more different fragrances is also possible, which at least reduce a sense of the sense of smell.
- a method known from the prior art of clocking and the pulse-like delivery of fragrance can be used Habituation can also be reduced by dispensing successive, different fragrances
- the WC-Spuler before or during the Abspulvorgangs dosed an antifoam in the toilet bowl causes excessive foaming before or during the Abspulvorgangs a floating of toilet paper on this foam, so that the toilet paper is not properly rewound with the rinsing water This is often perceived by consumers as unsightly
- the defoamer before or during the unwinding process excessive foaming can be prevented and a safe removal of the toilet paper can be ensured
- Additional or alternative to the defoamer can also be cellulose-dissolving Substances are added
- the dispensing element and at least the first preparation are configured such that a foam is formed when the preparation is released into the environment
- a foam can include and minimize bad smells particularly well through its pore and cell structure.
- the foam can also be applied to the surface of the toilet bowl as a so-called "anti-caking" coating to adhere to metabolic waste products to reduce these surfaces
- the sensor unit may comprise one or more active and / or passive sensors for the qualitative and / or quantitative detection of mechanical, electrical, physical and / or chemical variables, which are passed as control signals to the control unit

- a vibration sensor may be configured to receive body sound at a toilet bowl
- the sensor unit can be designed in its simplest conceivable embodiment as a tilt, push or push button
- the senor is configured in such a way that the detection of a winding process is realized without substantially influencing the flow conditions in a toilet bowl.
- ultrasound sensors can be used for this purpose
- a dosing process to which a defined amount of a preparation is dispensed is less than 20 seconds, preferably less than 10 seconds, In particular, preferably less than 5 seconds lasts by a dose as short as possible in a preparation is delivered to the environment, the dosing may be drafty for the next Dosie ⁇ ntervall available and ensure an effective delivery of preparation even with a constant use of a toilet
- the energy source can be, for example, a battery, a power supply, solar cells or the like
- a container is understood to mean a packaging material which is suitable for wrapping or holding together preparations and which can be coupled to the dosing apparatus for dispensing the preparation
- Vorratsbehalter are separated from each other to prevent premature mixing of the drug fluids They may be physically separate or formed as separate compartments in a contiguous body
- the container usually has a full volume of ⁇ 5,000 ml, in particular ⁇ 1 000 ml, preferably ⁇ 500 ml, more preferably ⁇ 250 ml, most preferably ⁇ 50 ml
- the invention is particularly suitable for dimensionally stable containers such as cups, cans, cartridges, cartridges, bottles, canisters, cans, boxes, drums
- a container may also comprise a plurality of chambers which are fillable with different compositions from each other and it is also conceivable that a plurality of containers to a unit, for example, a cartridge is arranged
- the outlet opening of the container is formed counter to the direction of gravity at the head of the container, so that in the use and coupling position of the container gravity-induced no outflow from the Auslasso réelle can be done
- the head-side arrangement of the Auslasso réelle also has the advantage that in the position of use no Flusstechniksaaule is present above the opening, whereby a simpler and safer sealing the Auslasso réelle compared to the dosing device can be realized
- the container which can be coupled to the toilet winder is closed by a closure means
- the closure means interacts with the mandrel of the metering device such that a seal is formed between the mandrel and the closure means when coupling the metering device and the container
- the seal may in particular be a rotary and / or translatory seal
- the seal may in particular be selected from the group of radial shaft seals, labyrinth seals, sliding seals, stuffing boxes, piston rings, bellows, burst seals, axial shaft seals and / or rotary unions
