Description

Automatische gesteuerte Waschmaschine mit einer im Gehäuse als von vorn zugängliche Schublade ausgebildeten Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung mit mindestens einer im vorderen Bereich der Schublade angeordneten Kammer für die handdosierte Zugabe einer Wäschebehandlungsmittelportion und mit einem innerhalb der Schublade angebrachten Vorratsbehälter für flüssige Wäschebehandlungsmittel.Automatic controlled washing machine having a Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung formed in the housing as a drawer accessible from the front with at least one arranged in the front of the drawer chamber for the handdosed addition of a laundry treatment agent portion and with a mounted inside the drawer reservoir for liquid laundry treatment.

Eine solche Waschmaschine ist aus DE 34 03 622 A1 bekannt. Darin ist eine Schublade für eine Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung beschrieben, die im vorderen Bereich Kammern für von Hand zu dosierende Einzelportionen von flüssigen oder pulverförmigen Wäschebehandlungsmitteln aufweist. Dahinter sind in der Schublade ein oder mehrere Vorratsbehälter fest eingebaut, in denen flüssige Wäschebehandlungsmittel für eine Mehrzahl von Waschvorgängen bevorratet sein können. Die Schublade nimmt mindestens nahezu die gesamte Tiefe des Waschmaschinengehäuses ein, damit eine möglichst große Menge von flüssigem Wäschebehandlungsmittel gespeichert werden kann. Zum Befüllen dieses Vorratsbehälters ist auf dessen Oberseite eine Nachfüllöffnung angebracht, die erst zum Vorschein und für die Bedienungsperson in eine erreichbare Position gelangt, wenn die Schublade über die Strecke hinaus, die der Tiefe der Waschmittelkammern entspricht, aus dem Gehäuse der Waschmaschine gezogen worden ist. Meistens ragt die Vorderkante der oben abschließenden Arbeitsplatte auch noch etwas hervor, so dass die Strecke zum Erreichen der Befüllungsposition sehr groß ist und damit hohe Anforderungen an die Führung der Schublade im Gehäuse der Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung stellt.Such a washing machine is off DE 34 03 622 A1 known. Therein, a drawer for a Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung is described, which has chambers for hand-dosed individual portions of liquid or powder laundry treatment agents in the front area. Behind this, one or more reservoirs are permanently installed in the drawer, in which liquid laundry treatment agents can be stored for a plurality of washing operations. The drawer occupies at least almost the entire depth of the washing machine housing, so that the largest possible amount of liquid laundry treatment agent can be stored. To fill this reservoir, a refill opening is mounted on the top thereof, which only comes to the fore and for the operator in an achievable position when the drawer beyond the distance that corresponds to the depth of the detergent chambers, has been pulled out of the housing of the washing machine. In most cases, the front edge of the top-concluding worktop protrudes something, so that the distance to reach the filling position is very large and thus makes high demands on the leadership of the drawer in the housing of Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung.

Für die in DE 34 03 628 A1 beschriebenen Waschmaschine war eine generelle Bevorratung von flüssigen Wäschebehandlungsmitteln als Ersatz für die händische einzelne Dosierung von flüssigen oder pulverförmigen Einzelportionen in jeweils dafür in der Schublade angeordnete Kammern vorgesehen. Dazu sind alle bisher verwendeten Kammern zum Bereithalten von einzelnen Portionen von Wäschebehandlungsmittel durch Vorratsbehälter ersetzt worden. Die Vorratsbehälter nehmen den gesamten Raum ein, den eine Waschmittelschublade zwischen der Front- und der Rückwand einer Waschmaschine bieten kann, mit Ausnahme des Raumes für eine oder mehrere Dosiereinrichtungen. Die Möglichkeit zur manuellen Einzeldosierung durch eine vor dem Vorratsbehälter eingebaute Dosierkammer, die an sich dem Dosieren von bevorratetem Wäschebehandlungsmittel dient, zeigt bereits deutlich, dass keinesfalls auch nur eine Kammer ausschließlich zum Einfüllen einer einzelnen Portion von flüssigem oder pulverförmigen Wäschebehandlungsmittel vorgesehen ist.For the in DE 34 03 628 A1 described washing machine was a general storage of liquid laundry treatment agents provided as a substitute for the manual individual dosage of liquid or powdered individual portions in each case arranged in the drawer chambers. For this purpose, all hitherto used chambers have been replaced by storage containers for keeping individual portions of laundry treatment agent available. The reservoirs occupy all the space that a detergent drawer between the front and rear walls of a washing machine can provide, with the exception of the space for one or more dosing devices. The possibility for manual single dosing By means of a metering chamber installed in front of the storage container, which in itself serves for metering stored laundry treatment agent, it is already clear that in no case is only one chamber exclusively provided for filling a single portion of liquid or powdered laundry treatment agent.

Eine weitere Waschmaschine mit einer im Gehäuse als von vorn zugängliche Schaublade ausgebildete Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung mit im vorderen Bereich der Schublade angeordneten Kammern für die handdosierte Zugabe von Waschmittel und mit einem innerhalb der Schublade angebrachten Vorratbehälter für flüssige Waschmittel ist aus DE 10 2007 023 065 A1 bekannt.Another washing machine with a detergent dispenser formed in the housing as a front-loading drawer with arranged in the front of the drawer chambers for the hand-dose addition of detergent and with a mounted inside the drawer storage container for liquid detergent is off DE 10 2007 023 065 A1 known.

Dokument DE 10 2007 050 920 B3 zeigt eine Waschmaschine mit einem Einspülkasten, in dem eine herausziehbare Waschmittelschublade angeordnet ist, die ein Aufnahmefach zum Einlegen einer Kartusche aufweist. Zum Austauschen von Kartuschen wird die Schublade herausgezogen, so dass der bequeme Eingriff von oben in die Aufnahmefächer erfolgen kann. Als Dosiermittel wird eine an der Kartusche angebrachte, hubbetätigbare Pumpe verwendet, die eine vorgegebene, im Wesentlichen gleichbleibende Menge an flüssigem oder zähflüssigem Behandlungsmittel pro Hub als Teilmenge der zu dosierenden Menge aus der Kartusche fördert. An der Rückwand des Einspülkastens ist ein elektrisch angetriebener Aktor angeordnet, der den Hub für die hubbetätigbare Pumpe bereitstellen kann.document DE 10 2007 050 920 B3 shows a washing machine with a Einspülkasten, in which a pull-out detergent drawer is arranged, which has a receptacle for inserting a cartridge. To replace cartridges, the drawer is pulled out, so that the convenient engagement can be made from above into the receiving compartments. As a dosing means attached to the cartridge, a stroke-actuated pump is used, which promotes a predetermined, substantially constant amount of liquid or viscous treatment agent per stroke as a subset of the amount to be dispensed from the cartridge. On the rear wall of the Einspülkastens an electrically driven actuator is arranged, which can provide the hub for the hubbetätigbare pump.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Vorratsbehälter in der Schublade so anzuordnen, dass in jedem Fall des Befüllens der Vorratsbehälter die Schublade nicht so weit wie bisher aus dem Gehäuse gezogen werden muss, obwohl wenigstens eine Kammer für eine handdosierte Zugabe von Einzelportionen von flüssigem oder pulverförmigem Wäschebehandlungsmittel vorhanden ist.The invention has for its object to arrange reservoir in the drawer so that in each case of filling the reservoir, the drawer does not have to be pulled as far as before from the housing, although at least one chamber for a hand-metered addition of single portions of liquid or powdered Laundry treatment agent is present.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe bei einer eingangs beschriebenen Waschmaschine durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruches 1, wonach Raumteile der Vorratsbehälter sich bis in den vorderen Bereich der Schublade so weit erstrecken, dass der oder die Raumteil(e) neben der oder den Kammer(n) gelegen sind. Zwar hat der Konstrukteur für eine Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung mit Vorratsbehälter(n) immer noch die freie Wahl, wie er den oder die Vorratsbehälter und die Kammer(n) in der Schublade anordnet, wenn er nur dafür sorgt, dass sich der oder die Vorratsbehälter wenigstens teilweise bis in den vorderen Bereich der Schublade erstrecken. Dadurch ist gewährleistet, dass der Bedienungsperson das Nachfüllen von Wäschebehandlungsmittel-Vorrat in einen der Vorratsbehälter nach Herausziehen der Schublade über einen nur kurzen Weg gelingt. Hierdurch ist außerdem gewährleistet, dass die Schublade in dieser Position noch so gut geführt ist, dass auch beim Anstoßen eines Transportgefäßes, aus dem das Wäschebehandlungsmittel in den Vorratsbehälter umgefüllt werden soll, an die wenig ausgezogene Schublade eine dadurch eventuell erzwungene Bewegung die Einfüllöffnung am Vorratsbehälter nicht wesentlich aus der vorbereiteten Position bringt. Die Gefahr von Verschüttungen wird dadurch stark gemindert.The invention solves this problem in a washing machine described above by the characterizing features of claim 1, after which space parts of the reservoir so far extend into the front of the drawer, that the space part (s) are located next to the chamber (s). Although the designer has a detergent dispenser with reservoir (s) still the free choice how he arranges the reservoir (s) and the chamber (s) in the drawer, if he only ensures that the or the reservoir at least partially until extend into the front area of the drawer. This ensures that the operator the refilling of laundry treatment supplies in one of the reservoir after pulling the drawer succeed over a short way. In this way it is also ensured that the drawer is still performed so well in this position that even when bumping a transport vessel from which the laundry treatment agent is to be transferred to the reservoir to the little drawer drawer a possibly forced movement, the filling opening on the reservoir not substantially from the prepared position. The risk of spillage is greatly reduced.

Von besonders großem Vorteil ist eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung, bei der größere Bereiche der oder des Vorratsbehälter(s) in Schubrichtung hinter der oder den Kammer(n) der Schublade angeordnet sind. Dann hat der Konstrukteur große Freiheiten in Bezug auf die Anordnung der verbleibenden Kammern für einzelne Handdosen von Wäschebehandlungsmitteln. Außerdem ist dann die größere Masse von bevorratetem Wäschebehandlungsmittel im hinteren Bereich der Schublade angeordnet, was die Schublade über einen größeren Weg davor schützt, beim Ausziehen nach vorn und unten zu kippen. Die größere Masse hält die Schublade einfach länger in der geführten Balance.Of particular advantage is a development of the invention, in which larger areas of the reservoir or (s) are arranged in the pushing direction behind the chamber (s) of the drawer. Then the designer has great freedom with regard to the arrangement of the remaining chambers for individual hand tins of laundry treatment products. In addition, then the greater mass of stored laundry treatment agent is arranged in the rear of the drawer, which protects the drawer over a greater distance from tilting forward and down when pulling out. The larger mass simply keeps the drawer in the balance longer.

Wenn mindestens eine der nebeneinander liegenden Kammern in Schubrichtung gesehen kürzer ist als die Nachbarkammer(n) und der oder die Raumteil(e) der oder des Vorratsbehälter(s) in den verkürzenden Raum ragen, ist für die zuvor erwähnten Vorteile ebenfalls bereits eine Lösung vorhanden, die der Anordnung von Kammern für handdosierte Einzelportionen mehr Raum gibt.If at least one of the adjacent chambers in the direction of thrust is shorter than the adjacent chamber (s) and the space part (s) of the or the reservoir (s) protrude into the shortening space, for the aforementioned advantages also already a solution exists , which gives more space to the arrangement of chambers for hand-dosed single portions.

Eine sehr interessante Lösung für die Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist darin zu sehen, dass die Kammer(n) auf einer Seite der Schublade und der oder die Vorratsbehälter auf der anderen Seite der Schublade angeordnet sind. Kammern, die weiter hinten in der Schublade angeordnet sind, können bei der Zugabe von handdosierten Einzelportionen immer noch gut ohne Verschüttungsgefahr getroffen werden, wenn die Schublade zum Erreichen dieser hinteren Kammer weit herausgezogen werden muss. Dabei ist ein Anstoßen durch einen Transportbehälter nicht zu befürchten, weil eine Handdosis regelmäßig durch eine Schaufel für eine Einzelportion bewerkstelligt wird.A very interesting solution for the development of the invention is to be seen in that the chamber (s) are arranged on one side of the drawer and the reservoir (s) on the other side of the drawer. Chambers located farther back in the drawer can still be hit well with no danger of spillage by adding hand-dosed single portions if the drawer has to be pulled out far to reach that rear chamber. In this case, a bumping through a transport container is not to be feared, because a hand dose is regularly accomplished by a blade for a single serving.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung von Vorratsbehältern in der Schublade ist auch eine Beschränkung bei der Anordnung von Kammern möglich. Beispielsweise kann auf Einzelportionen für ein Vorwaschmittel dadurch verzichtet werden, dass nur je eine Kammer für ein handdosiertes Hauptwaschmittel und für ein Weichspülmittel vorgesehen sind. Da Weichspülmittel ohnehin in flüssiger Form vorliegt, das sich zu vorderst für eine automatische Dosierung aus einem Vorratsbehälter anbietet, kann auf eine Kammer hierfür verzichtet werden und nur je eine Kammer für ein handdosiertes Vorwaschmittel und für ein handdosiertes Hauptwaschmittel vorgesehen sein. In letzter Konsequenz wird die Beschränkung sogar so weit gehen können, dass bei Verzicht auf Einzelportionen für Vorwaschmittel und für Weichspülmittel nur eine Kammer für ein handdosiertes Hauptwaschmittel vorgesehen ist. Je nach Komfort-Ausstattung einer Waschmaschine hat der Konstrukteur bei Verwendung der erfinderischen Idee eine große Zahl von Variationsmöglichkeiten.In the inventive arrangement of storage containers in the drawer, a restriction in the arrangement of chambers is possible. For example, it is possible to dispense with individual portions for a prewash detergent in that only one chamber each is provided for a hand-dosed main detergent and for a fabric softener. Since fabric softener is present in any case in liquid form, which offers itself foremost for automatic dosing from a reservoir, can be dispensed with a chamber and only one chamber for a hand-dosed pre-wash and a hand-dosed main wash can be provided. Ultimately, the restriction will even go so far that waiving individual portions for prewash and for fabric softeners only one chamber is provided for a hand-dosed main wash. Depending on the comfort features of a washing machine, the designer has a large number of possible variations when using the inventive idea.

Von großem Vorteil ist eine Weiterbildung, bei der die Raumteile des Vorratsbehälters eine auf ihrer Oberseite und möglichst nahe der Frontseite der Schublade angeordnete sowie verschließbare Nachfüllöffnung aufweisen. Vor allem die frontseitige Anordnung der Nachfüllöffnung aber auch die Verschließbarkeit dürfte einen großen Vorteil ausmachen. Dadurch ist nämlich vorzugsweise bei vollem Vorratsbehälter ein Ausschwappen aus der Nachfüllöffnung weitestgehend vermieden. Austretendes Wäschebehandlungsmittel könnte an der Schublade, dem Gehäuse oder an der beide verbindenden Führung erhebliche Erschwernisse verursachen, die durch die Verschließbarkeit der Nachfüllöffnung stark vermindert sind.Of great advantage is a development in which the space parts of the reservoir have a arranged on its top and as close as possible to the front of the drawer and closable refill opening. Above all, the front-side arrangement of the refill opening but also the closability should make a great advantage. As a result, a Ausschwappen from the refill opening is largely avoided, preferably with a full reservoir. Emerging laundry treatment agent could cause considerable difficulties on the drawer, the housing or on the two connecting guide, which are greatly reduced by the closeability of the refill opening.

Vorteilhafterweise ist in der erfindungsgemäßen Waschmaschine die Dosierung durch automatische Steuerung dadurch möglich, dass für den oder jeden Vorratsbehälter eine elektrisch betreibbare Förderpumpe vorgesehen ist, deren Saugseite mit dem Innenraum des Vorratsbehälters kommuniziert. Eine solche Förderpumpe wird, wenn deren Druckseite in einen Schacht fördert, der mit dem Laugenbehälter der Waschmaschine fluidisch verbunden ist, am wenigsten der Gefahr ausgesetzt sein, zu verkrusten und dadurch auszufallen.Advantageously, in the washing machine according to the invention the dosage by automatic control is possible in that for the or each storage container, an electrically operable feed pump is provided, the suction side communicates with the interior of the reservoir. Such a feed pump, if its pressure side promotes a shaft, which is fluidly connected to the tub of the washing machine, be the least exposed to the risk of crusting and thereby fail.

Die genannten Merkmale der Unteransprüche sind zusammen mit dem Hauptmerkmal des Kennzeichens des Anspruches 1 sowie untereinander in beliebiger Weise kombinierbar, soweit die Kombinationen sinnvoll sind, ohne vom Erfindungsgedanken abzuweichen.The mentioned features of the claims are combined with the main feature of the characterizing part of claim 1 and with each other in any way, as far as the combinations are useful, without departing from the spirit.

Innerhalb des Gehäuses 1 der Waschmaschine in Fig. 1 ist mit gestrichelter Linie ein schwingend eingehängtes Laugenbehälteraggregat 2 angedeutet, dessen zentrale Öffnung durch eine Fronttür 3 verschließbar ist. Die oben an der Frontseite 1.1 (Fig. 2) angebaute Bedienungsblende 4 enthält Armaturen 5 und ein Anzeigedisplay 6 zum Einstellen von Programmen, die von einer Programmsteuereinrichtung 7 ausgegeben werden können und zur Steuerung der maschinellen Vorgänge, auch denen der automatischen Dosierung von Wäschebehandlungsmitteln, dienen.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.

In der oberen linken Raumecke des Gehäuses 1 ist üblicher Weise eine Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung 8 angeordnet, die eine aus der entsprechenden Gehäusehöhle heraus ziehbare Schublade 9 enthält. An der Frontseite der Schublade 9 ist eine Griffplatte 10 angebracht, die bei in die Gehäusehöhle voll eingeschobener Schublade 9 außenbündig zu der Bedienungsblende 4 steht.In the upper left corner of the housing 1, a Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung 8 is arranged, which contains a pull-out of the corresponding housing cavity drawer 9. At the front of the drawer 9, a handle plate 10 is mounted, which is flush with fully inserted into the housing cavity drawer 9 to the control panel 4.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer Schublade gemäß der Erfindung zeigt Fig. 2. Darin sind im vorderen Bereich der Schublade 9 zwei Kammern 11 und 12 für einzeln von Hand dosierte Portionen von Wäschebehandlungsmitteln angeordnet. Dabei dient die Kammer 11 zur Aufnahme von Hauptwaschmittel und die Kammer 12 zur Aufnahme von Weichspülmittel und hat als Abfluss einen notorischen Saugheber 13. Hinter den Kammern 11 und 12 ist ein Schacht 14 angeordnet, durch den die Gemische von Wasser, das vom Netzanschlussstutzen 15 an der Rückwand 1.2 des Gehäuses 1 über eine Magnetventilgruppe 16 von oben in die Kammern 11 bzw. 12 geführt wird, und Wäschebehandlungsmittel über nicht dargestellte Leitungen in den Laugenbehälter (2) überführt werden. Hinter dem Schacht 14 ist in die Schublade 9 ein Vorratsbehälter 17 für die Bevorratung eines flüssigen oder gelförmigen Wäschebehandlungsmittels integriert, dessen Aufnahmekapazität für beispielsweise 20 Anforderungen von Wäschebehandlungsmitteldosen ausreicht. In der Nähe des Bodens des Vorratsbehälters 17 ist mit der Zufuhrleitung 19.1 an ihrer Saugseite eine Förderpumpe 18 angebracht, deren Druckseite die jeweilige Dosis Wäschebehandlungsmittel über eine Ausgabeleitung 19.2 in den Schacht 14 führt.An embodiment of a drawer according to the invention shows Fig. 2 , In it, two chambers 11 and 12 are arranged for individually dosed by hand portions of laundry treatment means in the front area of the drawer. In this case, the chamber 11 for receiving main wash and the chamber 12 for receiving fabric softener and has as a drain a notorious siphon 13. Behind the chambers 11 and 12, a shaft 14 is arranged through which the mixtures of water from the mains connection piece 15 at the rear wall 1.2 of the housing 1 is guided via a solenoid valve assembly 16 from above into the chambers 11 and 12, and laundry treatment agent via lines not shown in the tub (2) are transferred. Behind the shaft 14, a storage container 17 for the storage of a liquid or gel laundry treatment agent is integrated into the drawer 9, the holding capacity is sufficient for example, 20 requirements of laundry treatment agent cans. In the vicinity of the bottom of the reservoir 17 is connected to the supply line 19.1 on its suction side, a feed pump 18th attached, the pressure side of the respective dose laundry treatment agent via an output line 19.2 leads into the shaft 14.

Mit dem Raumteil 20 erstreckt sich der Vorratsbehälter 17 bis in den vorderen Bereich der Schublade 9, hier sogar bis unmittelbar bis hinter die Griffplatte 10. Auf der Deckseite des Raumteils 20 ist, gleich hinter der Griffplatte 10, eine Nachfüllöffnung 21 angebracht, die mit einem Schieber 22 verschließbar ist.With the space portion 20, the reservoir 17 extends into the front area of the drawer 9, here even to immediately behind the handle plate 10. On the top side of the room part 20, just behind the handle plate 10, a refill 21 is attached, which with a Slider 22 is closed.

Die Schublade 9 ist innerhalb der Gehäusehöhle entsprechend dem Pfeil 23 heraus und hinein zieh- bzw. schiebbar und kann sogar vollständig aus ihr entnommen werden. Damit der Bedienungsperson das Auffinden der Schubladenposition, in der die Kammern gut zugänglich sind, deutlich vermittelt werden kann, haben die Schublade 9 und das Gehäuse der Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung 3 Rastvorrichtungen 24 und 25, die nach der Bewegung über die Strecke A1 in der entsprechend heraus gezogenen Position ineinander greifen.The drawer 9 is within the housing cavity according to the arrow 23 out and pulled in or pushed and can even be completely removed from it. So that the operator can clearly find the location of the drawer in which the chambers are easily accessible, the drawer 9 and the housing of the Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung 3 locking devices 24 and 25, which after moving over the distance A1 in the corresponding pulled out position mesh.

Wäre anstelle des Raumteils 20, wie beim Stand der Technik üblich, noch eine Kammer, z. B. eine Vorwaschmittelkammer, eingebaut, dann läge die Nachfüllöffnung 21.1 (grau kariert) des Vorratsbehälters 17 immer noch unterhalb der abdeckenden Arbeitplatte 1.3 (Fig. 1) der Waschmaschine. Die Schublade 9 müsste dann über die Strecke A2 nach vorn heraus gezogen werden, um diese weit hinten liegende Nachfüllöffnung 21.1 von oben zugänglich zu machen. In dieser weit heraus gezogenen Position wäre die Führung der Schublade 9 bereits so wenig stabil, dass beim Anstoßen eines Transportbehälters oder irgendeines anderen Gegenstands an die Schublade 9 die Nachfüllöffnung 21.1 aus der gerade eingerichteten Korrelation mit dem ausfließenden Wäschebehandlungsmittel-Strahl geriete. In dieser Position bereits aus dem Transportbehälter laufendes Wäschebehandlungsmittel würde dann die Nachfüllöffnung nicht mehr treffen sondern von der Oberseite des Vorratsbehälters sofort an Teile der Führung geraten, wo es - sofern die Schublade nicht sofort gereinigt würde - die Teile verkleben könnte und die Führung schwergängig würde.If instead of the space part 20, as usual in the prior art, still a chamber, for. As a Vorwaschmittelkammer installed, then the refill 21.1 (gray checkered) of the reservoir 17 would still be below the covering work plate 1.3 ( Fig. 1 ) of the washing machine. The drawer 9 would then have to be pulled out over the distance A2 to the front to make this far backward refill opening 21.1 accessible from above. In this position pulled out far enough, the guide of the drawer 9 would already be so unstable that when a transport container or any other object abuts the drawer 9, the refill opening 21.1 will come out of the currently established correlation with the effluent laundry treatment agent jet. In this position, already running out of the transport container laundry treatment agent would then no longer meet the refill but from the top of the reservoir immediately advised parts of the guide, where - if the drawer would not be cleaned immediately - could stick the parts and the leadership would be difficult.

Bei der in Fig. 3 dargestellten Schublade handelt es sich um eine ähnlich der Fig. 2 ausgebildete Schublade. Hierin ist ein Wunsch realisiert, der dem Verzicht auf eine der Kammern (der Vorwaschkammer gemäß Fig. 2) widerspricht. Die Weichspülmittel-Kammer 312 erfordert nämlich nicht unbedingt so viel Raum wie in Fig. 2. Dort ist sie praktisch nur der Tiefe der Hauptwaschmittel-Kammer 11 angepasst. In Fig. 3 ist die Weichspülmittel-Kammer 312 zwischen der Hauptwaschmittel-Kammer 311 und der Vorwaschmittel-Kammer 313 angeordnet, aber nicht so tief wie diese (Länge in Schubrichtung der Schublade 309). Daher kann der Raumteil 320 von der Tiefe der Schublade 309 her in den freien Raum nach vorn bis zur Weichspülmittelkammer 312 stoßen und dort auch die Nachfüllöffnung 321 angeordnet sein. Alle Kammern 311 bis 313 reichen bis unmittelbar hinter die Griffplatte 310. Die Vorwaschmittel-Kammer 313 ist wieder so lang wie die Hauptwaschmittel-Kammer 312; hinter beiden ist ein nach oben offenes Teil 314 bzw. 315 des Schachts angeordnet, durch den die Wasser-Waschmittelgemische zum Laugenbehälter abtransportiert werden. Lediglich bis zur Linie 322 muss die Schublade vorgezogen werden, um den Vorratsbehälter 317 über die Nachfüllöffnung 321 wieder zu befüllen. In dieser Position sind auch die Kammern 311 bis 313 zugänglich.At the in Fig. 3 Drawer shown is a similar to the Fig. 2 trained drawer. Here is a desire realized that the waiver of one of the chambers (the prewash according to Fig. 2 ) contradicts. The fabric conditioning chamber 312 does not necessarily require as much space as in Fig. 2 , There she is practically only the depth the main detergent chamber 11 adapted. In Fig. 3 For example, the softener compartment 312 is disposed between the main detergent compartment 311 and the pre-wash compartment 313, but not as deep as this (length in the direction of thrust of the drawer 309). Therefore, the space portion 320 can push from the depth of the drawer 309 ago in the free space forward to the fabric softener chamber 312 and there also the refill opening 321 may be arranged. All of the chambers 311 to 313 extend just beyond the handle plate 310. The pre-wash chamber 313 is again as long as the main wash chamber 312; behind both an upwardly open part 314 and 315 of the shaft is arranged through which the water-detergent mixtures are transported to the tub. Only up to the line 322, the drawer must be brought forward to fill the reservoir 317 via the refill port 321 again. In this position, the chambers 311 to 313 are accessible.

Durch die strichpunktierte Linie in Fig. 3 soll verdeutlicht werden, dass der Vorratsbehälter 317 auch entlang dieser Linie geteilt sein kann, so dass recht und links von der Linie je ein Vorratsbehälter entsteht. Anstelle der Kammer 313 kann dann der rechts von der Linie gelegene Vorratsbehälter sich mit seinem Raumteil direkt bis hinter die Griffplatte 310 erstrecken. Weiterhin kann unter Umständen auch die Kammer 312 entfallen, damit der Raumteil 320 des links der Linie gelegenen Vorratsbehälters ebenfalls bis hinter die Griffplatte 310 reicht.By the dotted line in Fig. 3 should be clarified that the reservoir 317 may also be divided along this line, so that each right and left of the line ever created a reservoir. Instead of the chamber 313 then the reservoir located to the right of the line can extend with its space part directly behind the handle plate 310. Furthermore, under certain circumstances, the chamber 312 may be omitted, so that the space portion 320 of the left of the line storage tank also extends beyond the handle plate 310.

Die Ausführungsbeispiele für die Schubladen in den Fig. 4 bis 10 sind darauf eingerichtet, dass in der Ansicht von oben etwa an der Stelle, wo in Fig. 2 die Förderpumpe 18 angeordnet ist, Federn 401 (Fig. 1) zum Aufhängen des Laugenbehälteraggregats 2 am oberen Rahmen des Gehäuses 1 vorhanden sind. Aus diesem Grunde sind die Wachmitteleinspüleinrichtungen und ihre Schubladen der Fig. 4 bis 10 an der linken hinteren Seite eingezogen.The embodiments of the drawers in the Fig. 4 to 10 are set up in the view from above approximately at the place where in Fig. 2 the feed pump 18 is arranged springs 401 (FIG. Fig. 1 ) are provided for suspending the tub container assembly 2 on the upper frame of the housing 1. For this reason, the Wachmitteleinspüleinrichtungen and their drawers are the Fig. 4 to 10 retracted on the left rear side.

Bei den Schubladen der Fig. 4 bis 6 sind die Kammern auf einer Seite der Schublade hintereinander und der oder die Vorratsbehälter auf der anderen Seite der Schublade angeordnet. So sind bei den Fig. 4 und 5 sowohl Vorwaschmittel-Kammern 413 und 513, wie auch Hauptwaschmittel-Kammern 411 und 511 sowie Weichspülmittel-Kammern 412 und 512 hintereinander angeordnet. Zwischen der Hauptwaschmittel-Kammer 411 bzw. 511 und der Weichspülmittel-Kammer 412 bzw. 512 ist noch der Schacht 414 bzw. 514 angeordnet. Die Weichspülmittel-Kammer 412 bzw. 512 eignet sich wegen ihrer schlanken Form besonders gut zur Anordnung neben der Einziehung 402 bzw. 502. Alle diese Kammern bilden eine rechtsbündige Flucht, wobei die Vorwaschmittel-Kammer 413 bzw. 513 direkt hinter der Griffplatte 410 bzw. 510 liegt.At the drawers of the 4 to 6 the chambers are arranged one behind the other on one side of the drawer and the reservoir (s) are arranged on the other side of the drawer. So are with the 4 and 5 both prewash chambers 413 and 513, as well as main detergent chambers 411 and 511 and fabric softener chambers 412 and 512 arranged one behind the other. Between the main detergent chamber 411 or 511 and the fabric softener chamber 412 or 512, the shaft 414 or 514 is still arranged. The fabric softener chamber 412 or 512 is particularly well suited because of its slim shape to the arrangement next to the collection 402 or 502. All of these chambers form a right-aligned escape, the prewash chamber 413 and 513 is located directly behind the handle plate 410 and 510.

Der einzige Vorratsbehälter 417 in Fig. 4 nimmt den gesamten rechten Raum der Schublade ein, der in Fig. 4 größer aussieht als er in Wirklichkeit ist; denn - wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich ist - kann der Vorratsbehälter 417 wegen des Schwingraumes unter ihm sich wenigstens auf seiner rechten Seite nicht sehr weit nach unten erstrecken. Immerhin kann auch dieser Vorratsbehälter 417 leicht 20 Portionen von Wäschebehandlungsmittel aufnehmen. Vorn oben hat auch dieser Vorratsbehälter 417 eine verschließbare Nachfüllöffnung 421.The only reservoir 417 in Fig. 4 occupies the entire right space of the drawer, which is in Fig. 4 looks bigger than he really is; because - like out Fig. 1 it can be seen - the reservoir 417 can not extend very far down at least on his right side because of the resonant space below him. After all, this reservoir 417 can easily accommodate 20 portions of laundry treatment. At the top of this reservoir 417 has a closable refill opening 421st

Im Gegensatz zur Fig. 4 hat die Schublade in Fig. 5 anstelle des Vorratsbehälters 417 deren zwei 517 und 518 mit je einer direkt hinter der Griffplatte 510 liegenden Nachfüllöffnung 521 und 522.In contrast to Fig. 4 has the drawer in Fig. 5 instead of the reservoir 417, the two 517 and 518, each with a directly behind the handle plate 510 lying Nachfüllöffnung 521 and 522nd

Die Schublade in Fig. 6 hat die Anordnungen der Kammern 611 bis 613 sowie des Schachtes 614 einerseits und des Vorratsbehälters 617 andererseits vertauscht. Dabei schmiegt sich der Vorratsbehälter 617 um die Einziehung 602 hinweg. Aber auch hier liegt die Nachfüllöffnung 621 unmittelbar hinter der Griffschale 610.The drawer in Fig. 6 has the arrangements of the chambers 611 to 613 and the shaft 614 on the one hand and the reservoir 617 on the other reversed. In this case, the reservoir 617 nestles around the collection 602. But here, too, the refill opening 621 lies directly behind the grip 610.

Bei den Schubladen in den Fig. 7 bis 10 liegt wieder der Verzicht auf mindestens eine der Kammern, in den Fig. 7 und 8 der Vorwaschmittel-Kammer und in Fig. 10 der Weichspülmittel-Kammer sowie in Fig. 9 gar deren beide, die Vorwaschmittel- wie auch die Weichspülmittel-Kammer, im Vordergrund. Dabei sind die verbliebenen Kammern 711 und 712 für das Hauptwaschmittel und das Weichspülmittel in Fig. 7 nebeneinander gleich hinter der Griffplatte 710 angeordnet, während der Vorratsbehälter 717 ähnlich dem (17) der Fig. 2 mit einem Raumteil 720 bis unmittelbar hinter die Griffplatte 710 gezogen ist, damit die Nachfüllöffnung 721 ebenfalls weit vorn zu liegen kommt. Anstelle des einen großen Vorratsbehälters 717 können auch deren zwei - ähnlich denen der Fig. 5 - vorgesehen sein. Wenn bei einer geraden Trennlinie zwischen den beiden Behältern das eine Behältervolumen zu kurz käme, kann die Trennlinie auch ungerade sein wie die strichpunktierte Linie in Fig. 7. Sie kann aber auch eine beliebig andere ungerade Form aufweisen. Wie in den anderen Schubladen ist der verbliebenen Hauptwaschmittel-Kammer 711 ein Schacht 714 zugeordnet.At the drawers in the Fig. 7 to 10 again is the waiver of at least one of the chambers in the FIGS. 7 and 8 the prewash chamber and in Fig. 10 the fabric softener chamber and in Fig. 9 even the two of them, the pre-wash and the fabric softener chamber, in the foreground. In this case, the remaining chambers 711 and 712 for the main detergent and the fabric softener in Fig. 7 arranged next to each other immediately behind the handle plate 710, while the reservoir 717 similar to the (17) of Fig. 2 is pulled with a space portion 720 to immediately behind the handle plate 710 so that the refill opening 721 also comes to lie far ahead. Instead of a large reservoir 717 can also be two - similar to those of Fig. 5 - be provided. If, in a straight dividing line between the two containers, the one container volume would be too short, the dividing line may also be odd as the dashed line in Fig. 7 , But it can also have any other odd shape. As in the other drawers, the remaining main wash chamber 711 is associated with a well 714.

Für die Ausführungsform in Fig. 9 ist eine alleinige Anordnung der Hauptwaschmittel-Kammer 911 mit Schacht 914 als ausreichend angesehen worden, weil für das Weichspülmittel ebenfalls ein Vorratsbehälter 918 vorgesehen ist. Dieser Behälter 918 hat nur ein geringes Volumen von beispielsweise 0,5 I, weil Weichspülmittel einerseits in geringeren Portionen beigegeben und andererseits seltener benutzt wird als Hauptwaschmittel. Der Vorratsbehälter 917 mit seinem großen Volumen (ca. 1,5 I) umgreift den Weichspülmittel-Behälter 918 von hinten her, reicht aber mit seinem Raumteil 920 bis unmittelbar hinter die Griffplatte 910 nach vorn. Statt dessen ist die Kammer 911 für ein handdosiertes Hauptwaschmittel im vorderen linken Teil der Schublade 9, die hier auch einen genügend hohen Raum hat (siehe Fig. 1), angeordnet, so dass sie einerseits im günstigen Zugriffsbereich liegt und andererseits den Raum vor der Einziehung 902 sinnvoll nutzt. Beide Vorratsbehälter 917 und 918 haben vorn angeordnete Nachfüllöffnungen 921 und 922.For the embodiment in Fig. 9 a sole arrangement of the main washing agent chamber 911 with shaft 914 has been considered sufficient, because for the fabric softener also a reservoir 918 is provided. This container 918 has only a small volume of, for example, 0.5 l, because fabric softener added on the one hand in smaller portions and on the other hand, is used less often than main wash. The reservoir 917 with its large volume (about 1.5 l) surrounds the fabric softener container 918 from the rear, but extends with its space part 920 to immediately behind the handle plate 910 forward. Instead, the chamber 911 for a hand-dosed main wash in the front left part of the drawer 9, which also has a sufficiently high space here (see Fig. 1 ), so that it is on the one hand in the favorable access area and on the other hand makes good use of the space before the confiscation 902. Both reservoirs 917 and 918 have front refill openings 921 and 922.

In Fig. 8 liegen beide Kammern für das Weichspülmittel (813) und das Hauptwaschmittel (811), vorn getrennt voneinander. Entsprechend reicht der Raumteil 820 des Vorratsbehälters 817 zwischen diesen Kammern 811 und 813 bis weit nach vorn direkt hinter die Griffplatte 810. Hier ist außerdem am vordersten Abschnitt des Raumteils 820 eine prismatische Ausbildung vorgesehen, die eine schräg zum Betrachter liegende Fläche 822 aufweist. Vorausgesetzt, der Werkstoff des Vorratsbehälters 817 sei zumindest durchscheinend, kann an den Markierungen 823 auf dieser schrägen Fläche abgelesen werden, wenn der Vorratsbehälter 817 noch halb, zu drei Vierteln oder ganz gefüllt ist.In Fig. 8 both softener (813) and main wash (811) chambers are separated from each other in front. Accordingly, the space portion 820 of the reservoir 817 extends between these chambers 811 and 813 to far forward directly behind the handle plate 810. Here also at the foremost portion of the space portion 820 a prismatic formation is provided which has a surface 822 lying obliquely to the viewer. Provided that the material of the reservoir 817 is at least translucent, can be read on the markings 823 on this inclined surface when the reservoir 817 is still half, three quarters or completely filled.

Entsprechend analog zum Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 7 ist die Schublade in Fig. 10 gestaltet. Lediglich anstelle der Weichspülmittel-Kammer 712 ist eine Vorwaschmittel-Kammer 1013 eingebaut, die mit der Hauptwaschmittel-Kammer 1011 einen gemeinsamen Schacht 1014 hat. Der Vorratsbehälter 1017 hat eine dem Vorratsbehälter 717 sehr ähnliche Form und kann in gleicher Weise wie dieser entlang der strichpunktierten Trennlinie geteilt sein.Analogously to the embodiment of the Fig. 7 is the drawer in Fig. 10 designed. Only in place of the softener compartment 712 is a pre-wash chamber 1013 installed which has a common well 1014 with the main detergent compartment 1011. The reservoir 1017 has a reservoir 717 very similar shape and can be divided in the same way as this along the dot-dash line.

Wie schon oben erwähnt, lässt die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung der Schublade einer Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung dem Konstrukteur jede erdenkliche Freiheit zur Aufteilung der Schublade und der einzelnen Anordnung und Volumenanpassung der Kammern und der Vorratsbehälter, so dass die hier dargestellten Ausführungsvarianten lediglich einen kleinen Teil der Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten aufzeigen können. Bei einer genügend großen Anzahl von Vorratsbehältern bzw. deren Volumina - z. B. auch bei zwei oder drei Vorratsbehältern - kann eine einzige Kammer für Hauptwaschmittel zur Handdosierung ausreichend sein, um ausreichend Raum zur Anordnung von zwei oder drei Vorratsbehältern bzw. deren Vergrößerung zu lassen. An welcher Stelle unmittelbar hinter der Griffplatte diese Hauptwaschmittel-Kammer einzubauen wäre, kann dem Geschick und den Überlegungen hinsichtlich der Abstimmung der Volumina zueinander und des praktischen Umgangs mit der Schublade vorbehalten bleiben; eine besonders praktische Anordnung zeigt Fig. 9.As mentioned above, the inventive design of the drawer of a Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung the designer any conceivable freedom to divide the drawer and the individual arrangement and volume adjustment of the chambers and the reservoir, so that the embodiments shown here only a small part show the variety of possibilities. In a sufficiently large number of storage containers or their volumes -. As with two or three reservoirs - may be sufficient for a single chamber for main detergent for manual dosing to leave enough space for the arrangement of two or three storage containers or their enlargement. At which point immediately behind the handle plate this main detergent chamber would be installed, can be left to the skill and considerations of tuning the volumes to each other and the practical handling of the drawer; a particularly practical arrangement shows Fig. 9 ,
