- the invention has the object of providing a washing machine described above in such a way that the monitoring of emptying of reservoirs for the user is simplified in such a way that he does not have to raise the drawer of Waschstoffein Kunststoff adopted to read a deficiency in the reservoir.
- an automatically controlled washing machine with a front in the machine room arranged washing-up for laundry treatment comprising a drawer accessible from the front with at least one reservoir for a multi-dose supply of liquid or gel laundry aid and a firmly attached to the drawer handle for Mounting and inserting the drawer, characterized in that the reservoir behind the handle has an at least translucent wall and the handle in front of each immediately behind arranged reservoir in the drawer has a vertically extending, window-like recess.
- the storage container has a transparent or translucent region, which is positioned behind the recess.
- the observation is namely already possible if the region of the reservoir is formed directly behind the recess transparent or translucent. It helps the recognizability of the filling state considerably, if, according to a further embodiment of the invention, the recess of the near-standing wall of the reservoir is backlit or illuminated.
- illumination or backlighting can be designed by an advantageous development of the invention, when the wall close to the recess between a relative to the reservoir stationary light source and the recess has a light-conducting structure.
- a light-conducting structure can already be taken into account in the manufacture of the reservoir from a transparent material.
- the light source may be attached to the drawer or to a place fixed in the machine room.
- the wall of the storage container which is close to the recess is transparent or translucent and extends into the recess with a line-shaped bulge. Then the visible surface of the reservoir, from which the filling state can be read directly, moved the viewer in the next possible position.
- the recesses may also be provided with a transparent or translucent insert and the reservoirs bear against the insert from the inside.
- the image of the filling state is carried directly over the insert to the outer surface of the handle and very easily recognizable. This is then considerably enhanced if the transparent or translucent insert is convexly formed on its outer visible surface and / or on its surface facing the reservoir parallel to its vertical extent.
- a swinging hooked tub assembly 2 Inside the housing 1 of the washing machine in Fig. 1 is indicated by a dashed line a swinging hooked tub assembly 2, the central opening is closed by a front door 3.
- the top of the front 1.1 ( Fig. 2 ) mounted control panel 4 includes fittings 5 and a display display 6 for setting programs that can be output from a program control device 7 and for controlling the mechanical operations, including those of the automatic dosing of laundry treatment agents serve.
- a Waschstoffeinêtives 8 is arranged in a conventional manner, which includes a pull-out of the corresponding housing cavity drawer 9.
- a handle plate 10 is attached as a handle, which is flush with the fully inserted into the housing cavity drawer 9 to the control panel 4.
- reservoir 16 to 18 are arranged in the drawer 9.
- recesses 22 to 24 are incorporated, through which the viewer can look at the front walls of the reservoir 16 to 18. These walls are transparent or translucent at least in the area of coverage to the recesses 22 to 24, so that the filling state of the storage containers 16 to 18 can be optically detected.
- scalings may be made for the particular fill condition.
- FIG. 2 An embodiment of a drawer according to the invention shows Fig. 2 , Therein, the Waschschein argue coupled 8 - as in the cited prior art - the entire depth of the machine housing 1 a.
- drawer 9 Under a serving for supplying fresh water cover plate according to arrow 19 slidingly arranged drawer 9 is fixedly connected to the front side handle plate 10 and contains two containers 11 and 12, 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. 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 out the container 11, this has a lateral outlet (not shown here in detail), which discharges the contents of the container onto a bottom of the housing shell, with which the detergent dispensing device 8 is surrounded.
- a solenoid valve group 14 is arranged, which leads 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.
- each reservoir has 16 to 18 in its top surface a refill 20, which can be closed or opened by means of a slide 21.
- a differently equipped drawer 9 is shown after its removal from the housing cavity in a view from above, containing only reservoirs 25 to 27 for a multi-dose supply of liquid or gelatinous laundry treatment agent.
- Each of these reservoirs 25 to 27 is inserted into a receiving space 28 of the drawer and can be exchanged for another in this fitting reservoir. This happens especially whenever one of the reservoir 25 to 27 (or 16 to 18 of Fig. 2 if they are not refillable) has been emptied.
- the storage containers used 25 to 27 lie with their front walls 29 tight against the back of the handle plate 10, in such a way that the transparent or translucent portion of the wall 29 coincides exactly with the respective recess 30, 31, or 32. This will make this area visible through the respective recess and indicates the filling state of the associated storage container.
- FIG. 4 a variant in which the front wall 29 of the reservoir 25 in height of the recess 30 rests directly on the back of the handle plate 10.
- the light inlet surface 34 is directed against a light source 35 which is connected to the handle plate 10.
- the light guide 33 is optically connected to a translucent region 36 of the front wall 29 of the storage container 25, so that the light emitted by the light source 35 is radiated through the light guide 33 into the translucent region 36.
- the translucent region 36 extends over the height of the front wall 29 along the recess 30.
- the translucent region 36 stands out sharply from its surroundings; because he is darker in the wetted from the reservoir 25 with laundry treatment areas as in the unwetted areas. This results in as in Fig. 1 a well recognizable vertical bar (eg, there at the recess 22) as an analogous measure of the filling state of the associated storage container.
- the front wall 37 of the reservoir 38 in Fig. 5 is formed over the height of the recess 30 in its cavity, so that between the recess 30 and the indentation 39 creates a positive connection.
- incident light can be kept away.
- the light guide 40 takes in this example, the light from a light source 41, which is attached here to a fixed part of Waschstoffein Kunststoff Surprise Road 8, Accordingly, the light entrance surface 42 of the light guide 40 is turned to the side.
- the light guide 40 has in the overlap region with the recess 30 an opaque surface 43, z. B. by Anrauung that extends directly into the reservoir interior, so that it is wetted by laundry treatment agent. In the area of wetting, the opaque area 43 then appears much darker than its surroundings and is very easily recognizable through the recess.
- the positive connection between the recess 44 of the handle plate 10 and a molding 45 of the front wall 46 of the reservoir 47 in Fig. 6 is even more pronounced than the front wall 37 in Fig. 5 ,
- the indentation 45 extends into the alignment of the front surface the handle plate 10 so that also located in the reservoir 47 laundry treatment agent flows to this point. Its darker color therefore occurs directly on the front surface of the handle plate 10 in appearance. It forms against the non-wetted indentation 45 of the front wall 46 in the ambient light a strongly contrasting surface, which is not overlooked.
- a light source 48 below or above the indentation 45 can radiate into the reservoir 47, if necessary, in order to enhance the effect if necessary. This light source 48 may be attached at the choice of the designer to the handle plate 10, otherwise to the drawer 9 or completely fixed to the drawer 9 surrounding the housing cavity.
- the handle plate 10 in Fig. 7 Although also has a recess; but it is filled with a transparent or translucent insert 49, against which the front wall 50 of the reservoir 51 rests from its inside. In the region of this insert 49, the front wall 50 of the storage container 51 has a light-conducting section 52 into which the light from a light source 53 radiates from below or above.
- the insert 49 is convexly formed on its visible surface 54 parallel to the vertical extent of the recess in order to increase the image of the filling height in the light-conducting section 52 with the resulting magnifying effect.
- a similar shaping can also have the surface facing the reservoir 51.

Bei einem bekannten Wäschetrockner (
Die
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine eingangs beschriebene Waschmaschine so auszubilden, dass die Überwachung einer Entleerung von Vorratsbehältern für den Benutzer in der Weise vereinfacht ist, dass er zum Ablesen eines Mangels im Vorratsbehältervorrat die Schublade der Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung nicht aufziehen muss.The invention has the object of providing a washing machine described above in such a way that the monitoring of emptying of reservoirs for the user is simplified in such a way that he does not have to raise the drawer of Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung to read a deficiency in the reservoir.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe gelöst durch eine automatisch gesteuerte Waschmaschine mit einer im Maschinenraum frontseitig angeordneten Einspüleinrichtung für Wäschebehandlungsmittel, umfassend eine von vorn zugängliche Schublade mit mindestens einem Vorratsbehälter für einen mehrere Dosen umfassenden Vorrat an flüssigem oder gelförmigem Wäschebehandlungsmittel und eine an der Schublade fest verbundene Handhabe zum Aufziehen und Einschieben der Schublade, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Vorratsbehälter hinter der Handhabe eine zumindest durchscheinende Wand aufweist und die Handhabe vor jedem unmittelbar dahinter angeordneten Vorratsbehälter in der Schublade eine sich vertikal erstreckende, fensterartige Ausnehmung aufweist.According to the invention, this object is achieved by an automatically controlled washing machine with a front in the machine room arranged washing-up for laundry treatment comprising a drawer accessible from the front with at least one reservoir for a multi-dose supply of liquid or gel laundry aid and a firmly attached to the drawer handle for Mounting and inserting the drawer, characterized in that the reservoir behind the handle has an at least translucent wall and the handle in front of each immediately behind arranged reservoir in the drawer has a vertically extending, window-like recess.
Dadurch ist hinter jeder Ausnehmung der Vorratsbehälter und durch seine zumindest durchscheinende Wand hindurch der Füllstand des Vorratsbehälters mit Wäschebehandlungsmittel erkennbar, ohne dass die Schublade aufgezogen werden muss.As a result, behind each recess of the reservoir and through its at least translucent wall through the level of the reservoir with laundry treatment means recognizable without the drawer must be raised.
Vorteilhafterweise weist der Vorratsbehälter einen transparenten oder transluzenten Bereich auf, der hinter der Ausnehmung positioniert ist. Die Beobachtung ist nämlich bereits dann möglich, wenn der Bereich des Vorratsbehälters unmittelbar hinter der Ausnehmung transparent oder transluzent ausgebildet ist. Es hilft der Erkennbarkeit des Füllzustandes erheblich, wenn gemäß einer weiteren Ausbildung der Erfindung die der Ausnehmung nahe stehende Wand des Vorratsbehälters hinterleuchtet oder angeleuchtet ist.Advantageously, the storage container has a transparent or translucent region, which is positioned behind the recess. The observation is namely already possible if the region of the reservoir is formed directly behind the recess transparent or translucent. It helps the recognizability of the filling state considerably, if, according to a further embodiment of the invention, the recess of the near-standing wall of the reservoir is backlit or illuminated.
In technisch leicht zu realisierender Weise kann eine solche Be- oder Hinterleuchtung durch eine vorteilhafte Fortbildung der Erfindung gestaltet sein, wenn die der Ausnehmung nahe stehende Wand zwischen einer gegenüber dem Vorratsbehälter ortsfesten Lichtquelle und der Ausnehmung eine Licht leitende Struktur aufweist. Eine solche Licht leitende Struktur kann bei der Herstellung des Vorratsbehälters aus einem transparenten Material bereits berücksichtigt werden.In technically easy to implement manner such illumination or backlighting can be designed by an advantageous development of the invention, when the wall close to the recess between a relative to the reservoir stationary light source and the recess has a light-conducting structure. A Such a light-conducting structure can already be taken into account in the manufacture of the reservoir from a transparent material.
Dabei kann die Lichtquelle an der Schublade oder an einem im Maschinenraum befestigten Ort befestigt sein.In this case, the light source may be attached to the drawer or to a place fixed in the machine room.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die der Ausnehmung nahe stehende Wand des Vorratsbehälters transparent oder transluzent ausgebildet ist und mit einer linienförmigen Auswölbung bis in die Ausnehmung hinein reicht. Dann ist die Sichtfläche des Vorratsbehälters, von dem der Füllzustand unmittelbar abgelesen werden kann, dem Betrachter in die nächstmögliche Position gerückt.It is particularly advantageous if the wall of the storage container which is close to the recess is transparent or translucent and extends into the recess with a line-shaped bulge. Then the visible surface of the reservoir, from which the filling state can be read directly, moved the viewer in the next possible position.
Alternativ dazu können aber auch die Ausnehmungen mit einer transparenten oder transluzenten Einlage versehen sein und die Vorratsbehälter von innen dicht an der Einlage anliegen. Dabei wird das Bild des Füllzustands unmittelbar über die Einlage an die Außenfläche der Handhabe getragen und sehr gut erkennbar. Dies wird dann noch erheblich verstärkt, wenn die transparente oder transluzente Einlage an ihrer äußeren Sichtfläche und/oder an ihrer zum Vorratsbehälter gewandten Fläche parallel zu ihrer Höhenerstreckung konvex geformt ist. Die Merkmale der Unteransprüche können auf jede sinnvolle Weise mit denen des Hauptanspruches und untereinander kombiniert werden, ohne den Erfindungsgedanken zu verlassen.Alternatively, however, the recesses may also be provided with a transparent or translucent insert and the reservoirs bear against the insert from the inside. The image of the filling state is carried directly over the insert to the outer surface of the handle and very easily recognizable. This is then considerably enhanced if the transparent or translucent insert is convexly formed on its outer visible surface and / or on its surface facing the reservoir parallel to its vertical extent. The features of the subclaims can be combined in any meaningful way with those of the main claim and with each other, without departing from the inventive concept.
