Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a washing machine comprising a dispenser wherein cleaning agents are placed.
  • cleaning agents like detergent, softener etc needed for the cleaning process are placed into a cleaning agent box.
  • the washing water received from the mains is directed into the dispenser.
  • the cleaning agent dissolved-melted by mixing with water is delivered into the washing tub together with the water.
  • Cleaning agent boxes mostly comprise a dispenser having compartments wherein powder and/or liquid washing agents are placed and a flushing device that covers the dispenser and enables the water received from the mains to pass into the dispenser.
  • the said compartments and the flushing device remaining wet after the washing causes dirt to accumulate on the compartment and the flushing device in the course of time.
  • the forming dirt causes mold formation if not cleaned and this situation is unfavorable in terms of hygiene. Therefore, the flushing device is required to be detachable.
  • this situation creates difficulties in maintaining leak-proofing and creating a durable structure. Complex structures are required especially in order to supply the flushing device with different channels therein from different water channels. However, this increases production costs.
  • the dispenser is washed and cleaned by being removed from the housing wherein it is placed.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a washing machine comprising a cleaning agent dispenser which provides ease of utilization and ease of production.
  • the washing machine realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises a first water inlet and a second water inlet both positioned on the rear wall of the housing so as to extend in directions not parallel to one another and a flushing device that covers the upper side and the lateral sides of the first water inlet and the second water inlet when placed into the housing.
  • the flushing device is placed over the dispenser by sliding and removed from the dispenser by sliding.
  • the washing machine comprises a retainer that is disposed on the housing and that almost entirely surrounds the first water inlet and the second water inlet and a mounting extension that is disposed on the flushing device and that remains between the retainer and the water inlets when the flushing device is placed into the housing.
  • the flushing device comprises a sealing element that is disposed on the mounting extension, extending outwards from the mounting extension, that bears against the periphery of the retainer when the flushing device is placed into the housing and that provides leak-proofing.
  • the flushing device comprises a protrusion that is disposed on the mounting extension, extending outwards from the mounting extension and that bears against the periphery of the retainer when the flushing device is placed into the housing.
  • the flushing device comprises a rib that extends backwards from the flushing device and that enables the flushing device to stay rigidly on the housing as the housing rear wall is seated thereon.
  • the flushing device comprises an orifice that remains almost under the mounting extension and that enables the water transferred from the first water inlet and the second water inlet into the flushing device to partially flow therethrough and be delivered into the housing.
  • the first water inlet and the second water inlet are manufactured integrated with the housing.
  • a cleaning agent dispenser is realized having a flushing device that can be easily mounted/dismounted by the user, with decreased production costs and improved leak-proofing.
  • Figure 1 - is the schematic view of a washing machine.
  • Figure 2 - is the exploded view of a washing machine cleaning agent box.
  • Figure 3 - is the perspective view of the flushing device and the housing while the flushing device is being placed into the housing in an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Figure 4 - is the top view of the flushing device when the flushing device is in the housing in an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Figure 5 - is the sideways cross-sectional view of the flushing device when the flushing device is in the housing in an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Figure 6 - is the top cross-sectional view of the flushing device when the flushing device is in the housing in an embodiment of the present invention.
  • the washing machine (1) comprises a dispenser (2) wherein cleaning agents like detergent, softener etc. are placed and where the cleaning agents are mixed with water, a housing (3) wherein the dispenser (2) is placed, at least one water conduit (4) that carries water from the mains to the dispenser (2), a flushing device (6) mounted detachably over the housing (3) so as to cover the dispenser (2), enabling water to be directed into the dispenser (2) and having more than one hole (5) enabling water to pass into the dispenser (2), a first water inlet (7) that transfers the water received from the water conduit (4) to the flushing device (6) angularly and a second water inlet (8) that transfers the water received from the water conduit (4) to the flushing device (6) so as to block the water transferred from the first water inlet (7) ( Figure 1, Figure 2).
  • the washing machine (1) of the present invention comprises the first water inlet (7) and the second water inlet (8) that are disposed on the rear wall of the housing (3) and extend diagonally, and the flushing device (6) that almost entirely covers the upper side and the lateral sides of the first water inlet (7) and the second water inlet (8) when placed into the housing (3) ( Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5 and Figure 6) ⁇
  • the flushing device (6) When the flushing device (6) is placed into the washing machine (1), the flushing device (6) surrounds the first inlet (7) and the second inlet (8) from above and the sides. Thus, the water sprayed from the first inlet (7) and the second inlet (8) can be directed into the flushing device (6) or the housing (3).
  • the flushing device (6) comprises a first channel (17) that faces the first water inlet (7) and supplied by the first water inlet (7), a second channel (117) that is disposed on the flushing device (6), facing the second water inlet (8) and supplied by the second water inlet (8), and a third channel (217) that remains between the first channel (17) and the second channel (117), wherein the jets of water simultaneously sprayed from the first water inlet (7) and the second water inlet (8) flow after colliding with each other; and some of the water flows into the housing (3) while the third channel (217) is supplied.
  • the flushing device (6) is mounted on the dispenser (2) by being pushed over the housing (3) and dismounted from the dispenser (2) by being pulled from the housing (3).
  • the user places the flushing device (6) into the washing machine (1) by pushing through the opening that is arranged on the washing machine (1) so as to be above the dispenser (2) which is placed into the housing (3) to remain over the housing (3).
  • the user takes out the flushing device (6) by pulling outwards again from the said opening.
  • the washing machine (1) comprises a retainer (9) that is disposed on the housing (3) and that almost entirely surrounds the first water inlet (7) and the second water inlet (8), and a mounting extension (10) that is disposed on the flushing device (6) and that remains between the retainer (9) and the water inlets (7, 8) when the flushing device (6) is placed into the housing (3).
  • the mounting extension (10) contacts the upper and lateral peripheries of the retainer (9). Thus, water leakage from the said sides of the periphery is prevented.
  • the flushing device (6) comprises a sealing element (11) that is disposed on the mounting extension (10), that remains between the retainer (9) and the mounting extension (10) when the flushing device (6) is placed into the housing (3) and that prevents water from leaking out from between the retainer (9) and the mounting extension (10).
  • the flushing device (6) comprises a protrusion (12) that is disposed on the mounting extension (10), extending outwards from the mounting extension (10) and that bears against the periphery of the retainer (9) when the flushing device (6) is placed into the housing (3).
  • the flushing device (6) comprises at least one rib (13) that contacts the upper part of the housing (3) rear wall when the flushing device (6) is placed into the housing (3).
  • one of the ribs (13) remain at the right side of the retainer (9) and the other at the left side thereof.
  • the ribs (13) enable the flushing device (6) to be placed to the housing (3) at the rear side by being seated on the housing (3).
  • the flushing device (6) comprises an orifice (14) that remains almost under the mounting extension (10) and that enables the water transferred from the first water inlet (7) and the second water inlet (8) into the flushing device (6) to partially flow therethrough and to be delivered into the housing (3).
  • the orifice (14) remains below the first inlet (7) and the second inlet (8) at a position close to the first inlet (7) and the second inlet (8).
  • the water transferred from the water inlets (7, 8) to the channels (17, 117, 217) partially accumulates on the surface of the flushing device (6) before reaching the channels (17, 1 17, 217).
  • the orifice (14) the said accumulation does not occur and the water that would accumulate is transferred to the housing (3).
  • the first water inlet (7) and the second water inlet (8) are produced integrated with the housing (3).
  • the flushing device (6) comprises a base (15) having holes (5) arranged thereon and a lid (16) that covers the base (15).
  • the first water inlet (7) and the second water inlet (8) both disposed at the upper part of the housing (3) rear wall are partially surrounded by the mounting extension (10) situated on the lid (16).
  • bacteria formation at the dispenser (2) region is minimized by providing the removal and cleaning of the flushing device (6), thereby providing more hygienic utilization conditions. Furthermore, the need for producing a flushing device (6) with a complex structure is eliminated by means of the water inlets (7, 8) disposed on the housing (3) and production costs are decreased. Moreover, the leak-proofing desired by the manufacturer is provided between the flushing device (6) and the water inlets (7, 8) thereby increasing the efficiency of the flushing device (6).
