Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine automatisch gesteuerte Waschmaschine mit einer im Maschinenraum frontseitig angeordneten Einspüleinrichtung für Wäschebehandlungsmittel, die eine von vorn zugängliche Schublade mit mindestens einem Behälter für pulverförmige, flüssige oder gelförmige Wäschebehandlungsmittel enthält, und mit einer Einrichtung zum automatischen Zuführen jedes bevorrateten Wäschebehandlungsmittels in den Behandlungsprozess.The invention relates to an automatically controlled washing machine having a front in the machine room arranged Spülung for laundry treatment containing a front accessible drawer with at least one container for powdered, liquid or gelatinous laundry treatment agent, and with a device for automatically supplying each stored laundry treatment agent in the treatment process.

Eine solche Waschmaschine ist aus der US 2005/0229652 A1 bekannt. Dort ist eine Waschmaschine beschrieben, die Einspülkammern für pulverförmiges Waschmittel und Einsätze für flüssiges Waschmittel aufweist. Die Einsätze können in die vorhandenen Einspülkammern eingesetzt werden.Such a washing machine is out of the US 2005/0229652 A1 known. There is described a washing machine having Einspülkammern for powdered detergent and inserts for liquid detergent. The inserts can be used in the existing Einspülkammern.

Eine solche Waschmaschine ist auch aus der DE 34 03 622 A1 bekannt. Darin ist in Zugrichtung einer Schublade hinter fest im Körper der Schublade eingebauten, notorischen Waschmittelkammern, die zum Befüllen mit einzelnen Dosen von Waschpulvern oder Waschflüssigkeiten oben offen und von oben mittels Wasserstrahlen ausspülbar sind, ein ebenfalls fest eingebauter Vorratsraum für flüssige Wäschebehandlungsmittels angeordnet, der nach dem Aufbrauchen des Vorrats wieder befüllt werden muss. Dazu ist im Deckelbereich des Vorratsraumes eine Füllöffnung vorgesehen. Bei jeder Bewegung der Waschmittel-Schublade in eine Position zum Befüllen der Kammern wird mittels einer an der Schublade und ihrem Gehäuse angebrachten Mechanik eine bestimmte Dosis des bevorrateten Wäschebehandlungsmittels aus dem Vorratsraum in eine Dosierkammer befördert, von wo sie während eines darauf folgenden Waschprogrammablaufs mittels Wasser in den Laugenbehälter der Waschmaschine überführt werden kann.Such a washing machine is also from the DE 34 03 622 A1 known. It is in the direction of a drawer behind fixed in the body of the drawer built, notorious detergent compartments that are open for filling with individual doses of washing powders or washing liquids and rinsed from above by means of water jets, also a permanently installed storage space for liquid laundry treatment means arranged according to Exploitation of the stock must be refilled. For this purpose, a filling opening is provided in the lid region of the storage space. With each movement of the detergent drawer to a position for filling the chambers, a certain dose of the stored laundry treatment agent is conveyed from the storage room into a metering chamber by means of a mechanism attached to the drawer and its housing, from where it during a subsequent wash program sequence by means of water in the tub of the washing machine can be transferred.

Außerdem ist aus DE 34 03 628 A1 eine Waschmaschine bekannt, in deren Schublade überhaupt nur fest eingebaute Vorratsräume für flüssige Wäschebehandlungsmittels angeordnet sind. Beide Waschmaschinen sind für den heutigen modernen Markt zu starr auf die Anwendung einer bestimmten Art von Wäschebehandlungsmitteln eingerichtet. Außerdem sind Reinigungen der bekannten Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtungen sehr schwierig und unterbleiben sehr oft oder werden zu selten durchgeführt, so dass Reste von Wäschebehandlungsmitteln zurück bleiben, die nach einiger Zeit bakterizid und fungizid verunreinigt werden, was die Wäsche und die Benutzungsperson belastet.Besides, it is off DE 34 03 628 A1 a washing machine known in the drawer only permanently installed storage rooms are arranged for liquid laundry treatment agent. Both washing machines are too rigid for today's modern market to use a particular type of laundry treating agent. In addition, cleaning of the known Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtungen are very difficult and remain very often or become rarely carried out so as to leave behind residues of laundry treatment products that become bactericidally and fungicidally contaminated after some time, which incriminates the laundry and the user.

Aus der DE 10 2007 050 920 B3 geht eine Waschmaschine mit einer Einspülschublade mit einem Aufnahmefach für eine Kartusche für ein flüssiges oder zähflüssiges Behandlungsmittel hervor. Bei Abwesenheit einer solchen Kartusche kann dieses Aufnahmefach als herkömmliches Einspülfach für Waschpulver genutzt werden.From the DE 10 2007 050 920 B3 A washing machine with a Einspülschublade with a receptacle for a cartridge for a liquid or viscous treatment agent out. In the absence of such a cartridge, this receptacle can be used as a conventional Einwülfach for washing powder.

Aus der EP 2 003 237 A1 geht eine Waschmaschine mit einer Schublade hervor. In einem vorderen Teil weist diese Schublade herkömmliche Einspülkammern für die Zugabe von festen oder flüssigen Behandlungsmitteln pro Waschgang und in einem hinteren Teil Vorratsbehälter für Behandlungsmittel in Mengen für mehrere Waschgänge auf. Diese Vorratsbehälter können fest integriert oder als Kartuschen entnehmbar sein.From the EP 2 003 237 A1 goes out a washing machine with a drawer. In a front part of this drawer has conventional Einspülkammern for the addition of solid or liquid treatment agents per wash and in a rear reservoir of treatment agent in amounts for several washes on. These reservoirs can be firmly integrated or removed as cartridges.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Waschmaschine der eingangs genannten Art so auszugestalten, dass die Benutzungsperson sich einerseits flexibel für eine oder eine andere Art von Wäschebehandlungsmitteln entscheiden kann.The invention is therefore based on the object, a washing machine of the type mentioned in such a way that the user can decide on the one hand flexible for one or another type of laundry treatment.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch das kennzeichnende Merkmal des Anspruches 1 in der Weise gelöst, dass die Schublade im Wesentlichen aus einem Führungsrahmen besteht, der eine frontseitige Handhabe und mindestens eine fensterartige Ausnehmung aufweist zur Aufnahme eines einsetzbaren Behälters für Wäschebehandlungsmittel. Dadurch können die Behälter nach Belieben der Benutzungsperson aus dem Führungsrahmen entnommen bzw. durch einen anderen, an die fensterartige Ausnehmung angepassten Behälter ersetzt werden.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the characterizing feature of claim 1 in such a way that the drawer consists essentially of a Guiding frame consists, which has a front handle and at least one window-like recess for receiving a usable container for laundry treatment agent. As a result, the containers can be removed at the discretion of the user from the guide frame or replaced by another, adapted to the window-like recess container.

In einer Ausbildungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Waschmaschine hat der eingesetzte Behälter einen eine Einzeldosis umfassenden Vorrat an flüssigem oder pulverförmigem Wäschebehandlungsmittel. Ein entnommener Behälter ist daher ohne weiteres gut zu reinigen; er kann dazu sogar in eine Geschirrspülmaschine gelegt werden.In one embodiment of the washing machine according to the invention, the container used has a supply of liquid or powdered laundry treatment agent comprising a single dose. A removed container is therefore easy to clean easily; he can even be placed in a dishwasher.

In einer anderen vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der einsetzbare Behälter für einen mehrere Dosen umfassenden Vorrat an flüssigem bzw. gelförmigem Wäschebehandlungsmittel ausgebildet. Zum Ergänzen des Vorrats kann dann beispielsweise ein Behälter entnommen und durch einen vollen ersetzt werden. Hierfür eröffnet sich sogar die Möglichkeit, dass der einsetzbare Behälter eine handelsfähige Kartusche ist, die mit einem Vorrat an flüssigem bzw. gelförmigem Wäschebehandlungsmittel befüllt ist. Auf diese Weise kann die Benutzungsperson völlig ungefährdet durch eine etwa entstehende Verschmutzungsgefahr den Vorrat von jedem Behandlungsmittel ergänzen. Die leere Kartusche wird entnommen und durch eine gefüllte ersetzt. Leere Kartuschen können sogar auf dem Wege einer Kreislaufwirtschaft wieder verwendet werden.In another advantageous embodiment of the invention, the insertable container is designed for a multiple-dose supply of liquid or gel laundry treatment agent. To supplement the stock then, for example, a container can be removed and replaced by a full. For this purpose, even the possibility opens that the usable container is a marketable cartridge, which is filled with a supply of liquid or gel laundry treatment agent. In this way, the user can complete the supply of any treatment agent completely safe by any resulting risk of contamination. The empty cartridge is removed and replaced with a filled one. Empty cartridges can even be reused in a circular economy.

Vorteilhafterweise ist der Führungsrahmen gegenüber der Handhabe winkelstabil abgestützt und weist die fensterartige Ausnehmung an ihrem Rand einen nach unten gerichteten Flansch auf. Dadurch ist der an sich sehr flache Führungsrahmen dennoch sehr stabil und kann viele gefüllte Behälter tragen, ohne sich zu Verformen.Advantageously, the guide frame relative to the handle is angularly stable supported and has the window-like recess at its edge a downwardly directed flange. As a result, the very flat guide frame is still very stable and can carry many filled containers without deforming.

Wenn der einsetzbare Behälter einen unterbrochenen oder umlaufenden Kragen aufweist, der sich bei eingesetztem Behälter auf dem Rand der fensterartigen Ausnehmung abstützt, ist er einerseits sehr sicher im Führungsrahmen gehalten, lässt sich andererseits aber auch sehr leicht aus dem Führungsrahmen entnehmen.If the insertable container has a broken or circumferential collar which is supported on the edge of the window-like recess when the container is inserted, it is on the one hand very securely held in the guide frame, but on the other hand can also be very easily removed from the guide frame.

Der Führungsrahmen 19 ist in nicht näher dargestellter Weise in einem Paar von Führungsleisten innerhalb der Gehäuseschale der Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung 8 longitudinal geführt. In den Führungsrahmen 19 sind zwei Behälter 11 und 12 eingehängt, von denen der Behälter 11 für eine Einzeldosis von pulverförmigem Wäschebehandlungsmittel vorgesehen ist und der Behälter 12 für eine Einzeldosis von flüssigem Wäschebehandlungsmittel. Damit die Flüssigkeit beim Befüllen des Behälters 12 mit Wasser aus dem Behälter abfließen kann, ist ein notorischer Saugheber 13 im Behälter 12 angeordnet. Zum Ausspülen des Behälters 11 hat dieser einen seitlichen Auslass (hier nicht näher dargestellt), der den Inhalt des Behälters auf einen Boden der Gehäuseschale der Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung 8 entlässt.An embodiment of a drawer according to the invention shows Fig. 2 , Therein, the Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung 8 - as in the cited prior art - the entire depth of the machine housing 1 a. The under a serving for supplying fresh water cover plate according to arrow 23 slidingly arranged drawer 9 has a guide frame 19 which is fixedly connected to the front side handle plate 10. Of the Guide frame 19 is guided in a manner not shown in a pair of guide rails within the housing shell of Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung 8 longitudinally. In the guide frame 19, two containers 11 and 12 are hung, of which the container 11 is provided for a single dose of powdered laundry treatment agent and the container 12 for a single dose of liquid laundry treatment agent. So that the liquid can flow out of the container during the filling of the container 12 with water, a notorious siphon 13 is arranged in the container 12. For rinsing the container 11, this has a lateral outlet (not shown in detail here) which discharges the contents of the container onto a bottom of the housing shell of the detergent dispensing device 8.

Hinter dem Behälter 11 ist eine Magnetventilgruppe 14 angeordnet, die vom Netzanschlussstutzen 15 an der Rückwand 1.2 des Gehäuses 1 zugeführtes Wasser in die Behälter 11 und 12 führen. Ausgespültes Wäschebehandlungsmittel wird über nicht dargestellte Leitungen in den Laugenbehälter 2 überführt.Behind the container 11, a solenoid valve group 14 is arranged, which lead from the mains connection piece 15 to the rear wall 1.2 of the housing 1 supplied water into the container 11 and 12. Rinsed laundry treatment agent is transferred via lines not shown in the tub 2.

Entlang der rechten Längsseite der Schublade 9 und in ihrem vorderen Bereich sind Vorratsbehälter 16, 17 und 18 in den Führungsrahmen 19 eingehängt, die rundherum geschlossen sind bis auf eine Ausnahme: im vorderen Bereich hat jeder Vorratsbehälter in seiner Deckfläche eine Nachfüllöffnung 20, die mittels eines Schiebers 21 verschlossen bzw. geöffnet werden kann.Along the right longitudinal side of the drawer 9 and in its front area are reservoir 16, 17 and 18 mounted in the guide frame 19, which are closed all around except for one exception: in the front area each reservoir has in its top surface a refill 20, by means of a Slider 21 can be closed or opened.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine Ansicht von oben auf die aus der Gehäusehöhlung der Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung 8 entnommene Schublade 9. Sie hat eine vorn angebrachte Griffplatte 10, an der sie aus der Höhlung gezogen und in diese Höhlung wieder eingeschoben werden kann. An den seitlichen Rändern 22 des Führungsrahmens 19 ist sie (hier nicht dargestellt) durch in der Höhlung angebrachte Führungsleisten longitudinal geführt. Der Führungsrahmen 19 hat fünf unterschiedlich große und geformte, fensterartige Ausnehmungen 23 bis 27, die zum Einhängen von irgendwelchen Behältern vorgesehen sind, die dasselbe Profil aufweisen wie die Ausnehmungen. In diese Ausnehmungen können - wie weiter unten noch erläutert ist - Behälter unterschiedlichster Art eingehängt werden. Nach dem Einhängen aller Behälter sind die Ränder dieser Ausnehmungen 23 bis 27 - beispielsweise wie durch die strichpunktierten Linien angedeutet - überdeckt. Fig. 3 shows a view from above of the removed from the housing cavity of Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung 8 drawer 9. It has a front-mounted handle plate 10, where it can be pulled out of the cavity and inserted into this cavity again. At the lateral edges 22 of the guide frame 19, it is (not shown here) longitudinally guided by mounted in the cavity guide rails. The guide frame 19 has five different sized and shaped, window-like recesses 23 to 27, which are provided for suspending any containers having the same profile as the recesses. In these recesses can - as explained below - containers of all kinds are hung. After hanging all containers, the edges of these recesses 23 to 27 - for example, as indicated by the dash-dotted lines - covered.

In der Seitenansicht der Fig. 4 ist erkennbar, wie der Führungsrahmen 19 an der Griffplatte 10 angebracht ist. Zur Abstützung und Stabilisierung der Winkelstellung zwischen Führungsrahmen 19 und Griffplatte 10 ist eine seitliche Stützwange 28 angebracht. Entlang der Ränder der Ausnehmungen 23 bis 27 können nach unten gerichtete Flansche 29 einerseits die Ausnehmungen 23 bis 27 und andererseits den gesamten Führungsrahmen 19 stützen und stabilisieren. Der hier sichtbare Flansch 29 gehört zur Ausnehmung 23. Es versteht sich von selbst, dass die Flansche der anderen Ausnehmungen 24 bis 27 dahinter liegen und in der Ansicht der Fig. 2 durch den Flansch 29 verdeckt sind.In the side view of Fig. 4 it can be seen how the guide frame 19 is attached to the handle plate 10.

Along the edges of the recesses 23 to 27 downwardly directed flanges 29 on the one hand, the recesses 23 to 27 and on the other hand support the entire guide frame 19 and stabilize. The flange 29 visible here belongs to the recess 23. It goes without saying that the flanges of the other recesses 24 to 27 lie behind it and in the view of FIG Fig. 2 are covered by the flange 29.

Fig. 5 bis 8 zeigen einsetzbare Behälter, die für unterschiedlichste Zwecke vorgesehen sind. So kann der Behälter 30 in Fig. 5 beispielsweise für die Bevorratung einer Einzeldosis von pulverförmigem Wäschebehandlungsmittel vorgesehen und in die Ausnehmung 23 einsetzbar sein. Bei anderer Profilierung seiner Aufsichtfläche könnte er auch für andere Ausnehmungen vorbereitet sein, z. B. wie der Behälter 11 in Fig. 2 für die Ausnehmung 27 in Fig. 3. Der Behälter 30 hat einen umlaufenden Kragen 31, der beim Einhängen des Behälters 30 in die Ausnehmung 23 auf deren Rändern aufliegt. Der Kragen 31 kann auch, anders als hier dargestellt, teilweise unterbrochen sein oder auch nur aus einzelnen Laschen bestehen, die den Rand der Ausnehmung übergreifen. Dies gilt in gleicher Weise für alle anderen Behälter, die hier dargestellt oder nicht dargestellt sind. Fig. 5 to 8 show usable containers that are intended for a variety of purposes. Thus, the container 30 in Fig. 5 for example, provided for the storage of a single dose of powdered laundry treatment agent and be used in the recess 23. With other profiling of its surface, he could also be prepared for other recesses, z. B. as the container 11 in Fig. 2 for the recess 27 in Fig. 3 , The container 30 has a circumferential collar 31, which rests on the edges 23 when hanging the container 30 in the recess. The collar 31 may also be, unlike shown here, partially interrupted or even consist of individual tabs which engage over the edge of the recess. This applies equally to all other containers that are shown or not shown here.

Da alle einzeln bevorrateten Portionen von Wäschebehandlungsmitteln mittels von oben in die Behälter geführten Wassers ausgespült werden, haben die Behälter der Fig. 5 bis 7 eine Abflussöffnung, meistens in einer Seitenwand, aus der das auszuspülende Gemisch aus Wasser und Wäschebehandlungsmittel in den sammelnden Bodenbereich der Gehäuseschale der Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung 8 fließt und von dort zum Laugenbehälter 2 geführt wird.Since all individually stored portions of laundry treatment products are flushed out by means of water fed from above into the container, the containers have the Fig. 5 to 7 a drain opening, usually in a side wall, from which the auszuspülende mixture of water and laundry treatment agent flows into the collecting bottom region of the housing shell of Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung 8 and is guided from there to the tub 2.

Der in Fig. 6 dargestellte Behälter 32 ist für eine Einzelportion von flüssigem Wäschebehandlungsmittel vorgesehen. Daher hat dieser Behälter 32 keine seitliche Abflussöffnung, aus der der Vorrat des flüssigen Wäschebehandlungsmittel sofort und bereits ohne ausspülendes Wasser abfließen würde, sondern eine sogenannte Saughebereinrichtung 33. Sie besteht aus einem fest im Boden des Behälters 32 angeordneten und ihn durchdringenden Fallrohr 34 und einer Kappe 35 mit einem das Fallrohr 34 mit Abstand übergreifenden Heberrohr 36. Durch das Fallrohr 34 wird das Wäschebehandlungsmittel-Wasser-Gemisch nach Übersteigen der Fallrohrhöhe in die Gehäuseschale der Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung 8 entleert.The in Fig. 6 shown container 32 is provided for a single portion of liquid laundry treatment agent. Therefore, this container 32 has no side drain opening, from which the supply of the liquid laundry treatment agent would drain immediately and without rinsing water, but a so-called suction device 33. It consists of a fixed in the bottom of the container 32 and it penetrates downpipe 34 and a cap 35 through the downpipe 34, the laundry treatment agent-water mixture is emptied into the housing shell of Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung 8 after exceeding the height of the downcomer.

Wie aus Fig. 1 zu ersehen ist, muss die Schublade 9 der Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung 8 auf die hoch reichende Kontur des Laugenbehälters 2 der Waschmaschine dadurch Rücksicht nehmen, dass die unteren Bereiche der Schublade 9 auf ihrer rechten Seite nicht so weit hinab reichen können wie auf ihrer linken Seite. Daher sind die auf der rechten Seite in den Führungsrahmen 19 eingehängten Behälter 16 und 17 und die Behälter 11 und 12 an ihrer rechten Unterseite (Fig. 2) flacher geformt als die linken Behälter 18 bzw. als die Behälter 11 und 12 an ihrer linken Seite. Der Behälter 17 wird daher an seiner Unterseite so geformt sein müssen, wie es für den Behälter 37 in Fig. 7 dargestellt ist. Sein Boden 38 ist daher nach links abfallend geformt und folgt mit seinem Profil ungefähr der Kontur des Laugenbehälters 2. Ansonsten gilt für den Behälter 37, ein Behälter für eine Einzelportion von pulverförmigem Wäschebehandlungsmittel, dasselbe wie für den in Fig. 5 dargestellten und oben beschriebenen Behälter 30.How out Fig. 1 can be seen, the drawer 9 Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung 8 take on the high reaching contour of the tub 2 of the washing machine consideration that the lower portions of the drawer 9 on its right side can not reach down as far down as on its left side. Therefore, the hinged on the right side in the guide frame 19 containers 16 and 17 and the containers 11 and 12 on its right side ( Fig. 2 ) formed shallower than the left container 18 and as the container 11 and 12 on its left side. The container 17 is therefore at his Bottom must be shaped as it is for the container 37 in Fig. 7 is shown. Its bottom 38 is therefore formed sloping to the left and follows with its profile approximately the contour of the tub 2. Otherwise applies to the container 37, a container for a single serving of powdered laundry treatment agent, the same as for in Fig. 5 illustrated and described above container 30th

Schließlich sind auch Vorratsbehälter in den Führungsrahmen 19 einsetzbar. So zeigt Fig. 8 einen Vorratsbehälter 39, der für einen mehrere Dosen umfassenden Vorrat an flüssigem bzw. gelförmigem Wäschebehandlungsmittel vorgesehen ist. Er ist rundum geschlossen, hat nur auf seiner oberen Deckfläche 40 eine Nachfüllöffnung 41 wie die Nachfüllöffnung 20 in Fig. 2 und einen mit der Deckfläche 40 oberseitig fluchtenden Kragen 42. Für diesen gilt ebenfalls das zum Kragen 31 des in Fig. 5 dargestellten Behälters 30 Gesagte.Finally, storage containers can also be inserted in the guide frame 19. So shows Fig. 8 a reservoir 39, which is provided for a multi-dose supply of liquid or gel laundry treatment agent. He is completely closed, has only on its upper top surface 40 a refill 41 as the refill 20 in Fig. 2 and one with the top surface 40 upper side aligned collar 42. For this also applies to the collar 31 of the in Fig. 5 Said container 30 said.

Ein solcher Vorratsbehälter 39 kann auch eine Kartusche sein, die in der gebrauchsfertigen Form handelsfähig ist. Diese benötigt dann keine Nachfüllöffnung 20 oder 41, jedoch eine Ausstattung, die beim Dosieren entweder Luft nachfließen lässt oder einen flexiblen Behälterbereich hat, der beim Entnehmen von Wäschebehandlungsmittel dem verkleinerten Behältervolumen folgt.Such a reservoir 39 may also be a cartridge which is marketable in the ready-to-use form. This then requires no refill port 20 or 41, but an equipment that can flow when dosing either air or has a flexible container area that follows the reduced container volume when removing laundry treatment.

Die Vielfalt von einsetzbaren Behältern ist keinesfalls auf die hier dargestellte Auswahl von Behältern beschränkt. So können in gleicher Weise geteilte Behälter, solche mit Sieb- oder Filtereinrichtungen oder mit Flüssigkeitsleiteinrichtungen oder mit weiteren Einrichtungen eingesetzt werden, wie sie aus dem Stand der Technik der Waschmitteleinspülung allgemein bekannt sind. Auch können die Behälter, sofern sie Vorratsbehälter für einen mehrere Dosen umfassenden Vorrat sind, mit einer Dosiereinrichtung versehen sein. Um die Auswahl nicht auf die dargestellten Beispiele zu beschränken, wird auf die einzelne Darstellung von weiteren Beispielen verzichtet.The variety of usable containers is by no means limited to the selection of containers shown here. Thus, equally divided containers, those with screening or filtering devices or with Flüssigkeitsleiteinrichtungen or other facilities can be used, as are well known in the prior art detergent dispensing. Also, the containers, provided they are storage containers for a multi-dose supply, may be provided with a metering device. In order not to limit the selection to the illustrated examples, the individual presentation of further examples is omitted.

Die übrigen Vorrichtungen an einer erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung, z. B. die Wasserzuführung, sind jeweils so anzupassen, dass die eingesetzten Behälter sachgemäß ausgespült oder aus ihnen dosiert werden kann. Dazu gehört auch, dass die Steuerung des differenzierten Wasserzulaufs oder gegebenenfalls vorhandener Dosiereinrichtungen an die freie Wahl der Ausstattung der Schublade 9 mit unterschiedlichen Behältern den jeweiligen Bedürfnissen angepasst werden kann.The remaining devices on an inventively designed Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung, z. As the water supply, are each adapted so that the container used can be properly rinsed or dosed from them. This also means that the control of the differentiated water supply or optionally existing metering devices can be adapted to the needs of the free choice of the equipment of the drawer 9 with different containers.
