Definitions

  • the invention relates to a metering container for cleaning agents, wherein the metering container can be used in a household appliance and has a plurality of chambers in which individual preparations can be stored separately. Furthermore, the invention relates to methods for dosing detergent in a household appliance with this dosing.
  • the EP 2 365 120 A1 describes a capsule cup for use in a cistern of a washing machine, which stores a portioned treatment agent and emits via a arranged at the bottom removal device in the washing machine.
  • the capsule cup has only a single chamber. All components of the treatment agent are mixed in this one chamber.
  • a disadvantage of this capsule cup is that it is only suitable for receiving a single detergent component.
  • the DE 10 2010 027 991 A1 describes a solid dosing device for the dosing of various separate components of a detergent, wherein the various components are stored in different chambers.
  • the chambers are not connectable and the dosing device is not a hygienic disposable container.
  • a disadvantage of this metering device is that, on the one hand, due to the metered addition of the individual detergent components directly into the washing process, high local concentrations of the individual detergent components on the laundry occur, as a result of which they can be damaged.
  • the chemical reaction of the individual detergent components together occurs only at the location of the laundry. Complete mixing and connection of the detergent components with each other does not take place in good time before the detergent is added to the washing process.
  • this metering device is permanently installed and used again and again. Therefore, a recurrent, cumbersome cleaning of the individual chambers is essential.
  • the EP 0 281 913 A2 describes an insert for the Ein Albanykasten.
  • the insert has only one chamber for receiving a single cleaning agent. A mixture individual components within the insert before feeding to the washing process is therefore not possible.
  • the WO 2012/104610 Although describes a Dosier period of time with penetrable chamber walls. However, the chamber walls are water soluble and are not penetrated by additional means.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to propose a new dosing container for cleaning agents and new methods for dosing cleaning agents which overcome the above-mentioned problems.
  • the dosing container for cleaning agent can be used in a domestic appliance and has a plurality of chambers in which individual preparations can be stored separately. Between the chambers, a penetrable separation is arranged in each case, which is impenetrable in the storage state of the metering container for the preparations and in the use state of the metering container for the preparations is penetrable.
  • the metering container according to the invention has a plurality of chambers which are separated from one another in the storage state of the metering container, the metering container can accommodate a plurality of preparations.
  • various detergent components in the immediate vicinity longer storable and compatible with each other, and can still be pre-portioned in a single metering container anyway, which greatly simplifies handling.
  • the individual preparations in the use state of the dosing container can already mix in this dosing container and are first added together in the washing process in order to avoid high local concentrations of, for example, individual detergent components on the laundry, as a result of which they are damaged can.
  • a complete mixing and connection of individual detergent components together already takes place in the metering container itself - ie in good time before the detergent is added to the washing process.
  • the metering container is preferably used in an existing dosing device on the household appliance - for example, used as detergent capsule in a dispenser of a washing machine.
  • the preparations in the various chambers can be formed, for example, on the one hand by various components of a multi-component detergent (modular detergent), which are to be mixed before their flushing.
  • the preparations can also be formed by various cleaning products, which are to be supplied to the washing process with a time delay.
  • the individual preparations are after filling the dosing first in each case in a chamber, the chambers are separated from each other by separations, so that the preparations can not mix with each other. In this storage condition, the separations for the preparations are impenetrable.
  • the dosing container is in its storage condition after being filled and during storage and transport.
  • the use state begins, as it were, when a separation becomes permeable, thereby making it possible for a preparation to transfer from one to the other chamber and, if necessary, to mix with another preparation.
  • the mechanism which makes the separation penetrable is arbitrary.
  • At least one separation is at least partially water-soluble. This water-soluble separation is impenetrable in the storage state for the preparations. At the beginning of the state of use, water is flushed into at least one of the chambers.
  • the water mixes on the one hand with the preparation contained therein. On the other hand, the water comes into contact with the water-soluble separation and dissolves it. As a result, it is then penetrable for the preparations.
  • the material of the separation is not significantly soluble by the substances from the preparation, but only by water.
  • the dissolution behavior can be controlled in terms of time, for example, by designing the thickness, the amount of material and by adjusting the solubility of the material.
  • the dosing container furthermore has a penetration device which, when actuated, penetrates at least one partition.
  • the mechanism or manner of penetration is basically arbitrary.
  • the penetrating device can be actuated by means of mechanical energy - that is, it is virtually pressed in.
  • mechanical energy for example, a punch, a spring, a swelling sponge or a wax engine can be used.
  • a wax engine is also activated by water. Upon contact with water, a corresponding component changes its volume and is thus able to directly or indirectly contact a partition and penetrate it.
  • the energy arises when the metering container is used in a household appliance.
  • the penetrating device is actuated by mechanical energy, which is taken from the insertion of the dosing into the household appliance. If, for example, the dosing container is pushed into a dispenser box of a washing machine, then energy can be taken from this printing process. The same applies to the printing process in which the Ein Hamptonkasten is inserted with inserted Dosier alternnis in the washing machine.
  • the penetration device according to the invention by means of electrical energy can be actuated.
  • the exact interaction and operation of the penetration device based on electrical energy is basically arbitrary.
  • At least one separation has an electrical resistance. The electrical resistance then heats when exposed to voltage, the appropriate separation and melts them through, so that it becomes penetrable.
  • the resistors can be printed, for example, on the separation as a printed conductive layer, the contacts are then contacted when inserted into the household appliance with this.
  • the penetration device can be actuated by means of optical energy.
  • optical energy can be generated for example by a laser, which is directed to the separation.
  • a separation is first of all opened in a first step, so that the preparations can mix with one another, and then in a second step the mixtures mixed with one another are fed together to the washing process.
  • a preparation from a first chamber of the dosing supplied to the washing process first in a first step, a preparation from a first chamber of the dosing supplied to the washing process, and then in a second step, the separation between the first and a open second chamber, so that the preparation can pass from the second chamber into the first chamber and can be supplied from there in a subsequent third step the washing process.
  • the dosing container requires only a single outlet for the preparations, which can be passed by all preparations in all chambers gradually, without the preparations can mix beforehand.
  • the dosing container can be produced particularly cheaply as a disposable item.
  • This Ein Albanyart is particularly advantageous for flushing of various detergents or detergent components that require no direct chemical reaction with each other, but should be flushed into the washing process with a time lag.
  • FIG. 1 shows a cross section through a first embodiment of a dosing container 1 when dosing according to a first method.
  • the metering container 1 comprises a centrally arranged siphon assembly 2 and a first concentrically arranged to the siphon assembly 2 first chamber 3. Furthermore, the metering container 1 comprises a peripheral arranged second chamber 4 and arranged on the edge third chamber. 5
  • the first chamber 3 communicates with the siphon assembly 2 and can be emptied therefrom.
  • a partition 6 is arranged in each case, which are each formed in sections by a PVA layer 7.
  • This PVA layer 7 is water soluble and dissolves after contact with water, whereby the partitions 6 between the chambers 3, 4, 5 are penetrable.
  • the dissolution time can be influenced.
  • the contents of the second chamber 4 and the third chamber 5 reach after dissolution of the PVA layers 7 in the first chamber. 3
  • FIG. 1 shows the process time at which the mixture was so far filled with water that it is emptied by means of the siphon assembly 2.
  • FIG. 2 shows a cross section through a second embodiment of a dosing container 1 when dosing according to a second method.
  • the metering container 1 in this embodiment comprises a siphon assembly 2 and a first chamber 3, which expands around a second chamber 4 around.
  • the partition 6 between the two chambers comprises a water-soluble PVA layer 7.
  • the detergent tab 8 dissolves in this water. After triggering the detergent tab 8, the water level is increased until the first chamber 3 is emptied by means of the siphon assembly 2.
  • the PVA layer 7 is designed so that it does not dissolve completely during this time and thus the separation 6 remains impermeable as long as possible.
  • the content originating from the second chamber 4 is also emptied by means of the siphon assembly 2 in a subsequent method step.
  • the metering container 1 of this embodiment can also be used in such a way that first a dissolution of the PVA layer 7 is effected via a Wasserein réelleung in the first chamber 3 and / or the second chamber 4 without triggering the Saugheber complexes. After mixing the contents of the first chamber 3 and second chamber 4, the water level is increased until emptying takes place by means of the siphon assembly 2.
  • FIG. 3 shows a cross section through an unclaimed embodiment of a dosing 1.
  • the separation 6 separates the chambers from each other.
  • two piercing mandrels 9 are arranged on the dosing 1, that they with actuation pierce the top of the separation 6 can.
  • the actuation takes place here via two extensions 10 in a flap of the Ein Hamptonkastens the washing machine.
  • the extensions 10 When closing the flap, the extensions 10 press the piercing spikes 9 in the direction of the partition 6, as a result of which they are punctured in the sequence.
  • FIG. 4 shows a cross section through an unclaimed embodiment of a metering container 1.
  • a Saugheberhütchen 11 is connected to the metering container 1 via a predetermined breaking point 12.
  • the predetermined breaking point 12 is separated by the insertion and between Saugheberhütchen 11 and the bottom of Dosier mattersnisses 1 creates a distance through which the contents of the Dosier mattersnisses 1 can empty at the onset of Saugheber complexes.
  • the predetermined breaking point 12 is formed in this embodiment as part of the separation 6 between two chambers of the dosing container 1. Upon separation of the predetermined breaking point 6, consequently, a connection between the chambers is produced simultaneously through the partition 6.
  • the separation 6 is characterized so that in other words penetrable.
  • FIG. 5 shows a cross section through an unclaimed embodiment of a metering container 1.
  • the metering container 1 comprises a wax motor 13, which changes its volume under water, so in other words increases or decreases.
  • a puncture spike 9 is attached to the wax motor 13 in such a way that its tip pierces the partition 6 when the wax motor 13 expands, thereby connecting the two adjacent chambers.
  • a temporal influence on the change in volume of the wax motor 13 is possible via material selection and volume selection of the wax motor 13.
