Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dosing reservoir for accommodation in a washing drum for the purpose of dispensing liquid detergent during a washing process, and sets with such a dosing reservoir.
  • a typical dosing storage device has an outer housing with an interior space that includes a receiving space for receiving detergent that is to be dispensed.
  • the outer housing of such a dosing store has at least one outlet opening through which detergent can be discharged from the receiving space into the washing drum without pressure.
  • Such a dosing store is usually filled with a liquid detergent from a store before a washing process and then transferred to a washing drum. During a washing process, it remains in the washing drum and releases the liquid detergent held in it to the washing water or the laundry to be washed.
  • a dosing reservoir with an outer housing which, in an interior space, includes a receiving space for receiving detergent to be dispensed.
  • the dosing reservoir includes a filling opening that can be closed by a cover.
  • the filling opening can be closed by a part of the outer housing which has the function of a lid. For each filling, the dosing store must be opened in order to transfer the detergent into the receiving space of the dosing store.
  • DE 10 2010 028 353 A1 describes a further dosing system for dispensing at least one preparation into a rotating treatment chamber of a water-bearing household appliance, the dosing system being detachably connectable in communication with a storage container in which more than one portion of a preparation can be stored and the dosing system and/or the storage container comprising means, which, in the coupled state of dosing system and reservoir, cause at least one preparation to be conveyed from the reservoir into at least one receiving space of the dosing system.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a dosing reservoir which can be used in particular in a washing drum for the purpose of dispensing liquid detergent during a washing process and which allows better handling of the filling process.
  • a dosing reservoir mentioned at the outset such that it has a filling opening accessible from an underside of the dosing reservoir and a coupling device for coupling to a reservoir.
  • the metering store according to the invention also has a manually operable pump device for generating a negative pressure at the filling opening and thus for sucking detergent from the storage tank into the metering store.
  • the dosing reservoir has an actuating handle that can be pressed in on the outside of the outer housing, by means of which the said pumping device can be actuated, so that a pumping chamber of the pumping device can be changed volumetrically and as a result generates the negative pressure at the filling opening.
  • a dispenser according to the invention can be filled particularly easily with metered quantities of a liquid detergent from the reservoir.
  • the dosing reservoir comprises the mentioned filling opening accessible from an underside and the mentioned coupling device, by means of which the dosing reservoir can be placed on the reservoir for filling and thereby be coupled to the reservoir in a communicating manner.
  • He also has the aforementioned manually operable pump device, by means of which the detergent can be sucked in the coupled state from the reservoir.
  • This pumping device is very easy to handle because it can be operated manually from an outside without any preparatory steps. This actuation preferably takes place downwards and thus in the direction of the reservoir. So you simply press down on the coupled dosing reservoir to suck in detergent.
  • the dosing reservoir can be filled from commercially available storage reservoirs.
  • Such reservoirs are usually bottles for liquid detergent with a volume of 250 ml to 10 l, preferably with a volume of 2 l to 6 l.
  • the dosing reservoir can be filled from this reservoir, with its receiving space for receiving detergent preferably being between 10 ml and 500 ml, preferably 50 ml to 150 ml.
  • the outer housing of the dosing store can be partially transparent so that the fill level can be seen from the outside.
  • the outer housing has a measuring scale or a level marking having.
  • the dosing reservoir is made of a plastic.
  • Said manually operable pump device is designed in such a way that it can convey liquid detergent from the reservoir into the receiving space in the interior of the dosing reservoir.
  • the pump device can be a classic pump device that has a pump chamber with an inlet valve that opens as a function of pressure and an outlet valve that opens as a function of pressure, which open and close alternately when detergent is sucked in from the reservoir and when the previously sucked detergent is released into the receiving space will.
  • the pumping device of a dosing reservoir according to the invention is at least designed in such a way that it generates a suitable negative pressure, as a result of which the detergent is sucked into the dosing reservoir. The negative pressure generated is applied to the filling opening and causes the detergent to be sucked out of the reservoir. It is preferred to use a pump device that does not require complex valves. Such a pumping device is explained below.
  • a single or multiple pump actuation can be provided in order to fill the dosing store for a washing process.
  • partial volumes of the detergent of substantially the same size can be pumped into the receiving reservoir of the dosing reservoir.
  • the pumping device has the pumping chamber mentioned within an outer housing of the dosing reservoir, which is designed in such a way that it can be volumetrically influenced by manual actuation of an actuation handle. It is particularly preferred that the volume of the pump chamber can first be reduced in order to then be enlarged again manually or by the action of a restoring spring device. This second step of enlarging the pump chamber creates a negative pressure inside the pump chamber, which sucks in the detergent from the reservoir. The excess pressure generated in the pump chamber during the previous volumetric reduction in the pump chamber can be transferred to the reservoir in order to support the delivery of the detergent. In an alternative design, however, there is also the possibility of allowing this excess pressure to escape into the atmosphere through a valve.
  • the pump chamber can be formed by the entire interior of the outer housing or by a portion thereof. Possibilities for this are explained in more detail below.
  • the pumping device is designed and/or arranged in such a way that it can be actuated without first opening the dosing store.
  • the pumping device can be actuated in particular by an elastically deflectable actuating handle on the dosing store or by a rigid actuating surface or an actuating lever.
  • the dosing reservoir is preferably essentially spherical. Such a configuration is particularly easy to handle. In addition, this can be advantageous so that the dosing storage device inside the washing drum does not damage the laundry to be washed during the washing process or catches on the laundry to be washed. In addition, other designs are conceivable, such as a cubic.
  • the dosing reservoir preferably has a maximum inner diameter of 4 cm to 20 cm, preferably 6 cm to 12 cm.
  • the interior preferably has a volume of 30 cm 3 to 4,200 cm 3 .
  • the receiving space of the dosing store preferably has a volume of 10 cm 3 to 2,500 cm 3 . The volume of the receiving space is preferably between 30% and 60% of the volume of the entire interior of the dosing reservoir.
  • the outer housing of the dosing store has at least one outlet opening through which detergent can be discharged from the receiving space into the washing drum without pressure.
  • the at least one outlet opening is preferably located above the receiving space for the detergent to be dispensed, in order to prevent the detergent from being dispensed before a washing process.
  • the plurality of outlet openings is preferably distributed over the outer housing, so that an even delivery is possible regardless of the position of the dosing reservoir. In the case of a plurality of outlet openings, it is preferred that the outlet openings are arranged essentially on a common and in particular horizontal plane.
  • the dosing reservoir preferably has three, particularly preferably six, outlet openings.
  • the outlet opening or the outlet openings can be designed to be closable. This is preferred when the pumping chamber of the pumping device is formed by the entire interior of the dosing reservoir.
  • the at least one outlet opening is dimensioned in such a way that the detergent or a detergent-water mixture can flow out of the metering reservoir.
  • the at least one outlet opening is preferably designed in such a way that the detergent can also be dispensed without the centrifugal forces that prevail when the washing drum rotates.
  • a minimum clear cross-sectional area is preferred the at least one outlet opening of 4 mm 2 , preferably at least 10 mm 2 .
  • the dosing store is equipped with a coupling device which is used for coupling to the supply store. It is preferred that the coupling device is designed in such a way that the metering store can be placed on the storage store in the manner of a cap. With such a configuration, the dosing store can be coupled to the storage store in a simple step by being placed on the storage store from above.
  • the coupling device has a sealing surface that corresponds to the reservoir and a coupling device provided on it, so that a suction path that is essentially sealed to the outside is created, through which the detergent can be sucked from the reservoir into the dosing reservoir without the negative pressure being released of the pumping device can be compensated for by the atmosphere. Since very precise dosing is usually not important, it is sufficient if the suction path is sufficiently tight to allow delivery. Smaller leaks are therefore harmless, although in the ideal case complete tightness is sought.
  • the coupling device includes an axial securing device, so that the dosing store on the reservoir is secured in a non-positive or positive manner to prevent it from being accidentally pulled off.
  • the coupling device can comprise a snap connection, which causes the axial securing of the dosing store.
  • this axial securing can be created by a coupling bayonet or thread.
  • a coupling device that limits the rotational movement is advantageous. In the case of a thread, this is the case, for example, since the dosing reservoir can only be screwed onto the storage reservoir up to an axial stop and further rotation beyond this is then prevented. The purpose of the rotational movement limitation mentioned will be explained below.
  • An alternative and likewise very simple coupling device comprises a web or a groove which, with a groove or a web on the side of the coupling device on the reservoir, enables a rotational movement-limiting coupling of the dosing reservoir.
  • the filling opening communicates with the reservoir in the coupled state, so that the tight or largely tight suction path is created between the dosing reservoir and the reservoir.
  • the negative pressure generated in the pump chamber when the pump device is actuated can suck in the detergent from the reservoir through the filling opening.
  • the pump chamber is in operative connection with the filling opening at least in phases, so that the negative pressure acts up to the reservoir. It can be preferred that for this purpose there is a riser pipe in the reservoir which extends below the liquid level of the detergent so that the detergent can be drawn in.
  • the filling opening is preferably provided at an inner end of a receiving shaft extending from below into the dosing reservoir.
  • the accommodating shaft is provided for accommodating an outlet connection piece of the reservoir.
  • the receiving space can extend annularly around the receiving shaft.
  • the receiving shaft extends vertically upwards from the underside of the dosing store, as a result of which an annular area is formed around the receiving shaft in the interior of the dosing store.
  • the receiving shaft is formed by a peripheral wall that surrounds an open area.
  • the filling opening is provided at the end of this receiving shaft and is therefore set higher than a bottom of the dosing store. This prevents stored detergent from being inadvertently released from the receiving space through the filling opening of the dosing store before and during transfer into the washing drum.
  • An alternative or additional measure to ensure this is the provision of an inlet valve at the filling opening, which prevents detergent from escaping undesirably from the interior of the dosing reservoir.
  • the free area of the receiving shaft is also used for the coupling receiving of an outlet connector of the reservoir.
  • the dosing reservoir is placed on the outlet socket for coupling to the storage reservoir and is secured there by means of coupling devices which are preferably provided on both sides and are adapted to one another.
  • the filling opening is provided at the end of the above-mentioned receiving shaft.
  • an end wall is preferably provided at the inner end, which is penetrated by the filling opening. It is particularly preferred that this end wall tapers upwards in the direction of the filling opening.
  • the end wall can taper conically. However, configurations are also possible in which the end wall tapers upwards in stages, for example.
  • the filling opening is thus arranged at a particularly high or even the highest point of the receiving shaft. As a result, the detergent sucked in after a pumping process can run off into the receiving space and a return to the reservoir is minimized or prevented.
  • the dosing reservoir preferably has at least one screen for closing the at least one outlet opening. This screen can be displaced relative to the outlet opening between a closed position covering the outlet opening and an open position releasing the outlet opening.
  • the panel In its open position, the panel allows detergent to pass through the outlet opening. In the closed state, this is prevented or at least made more difficult.
  • the screen can temporarily prevent the detergent from being dispensed by the screen being displaced relative to the outlet opening in such a way that it closes it, in particular covers it from the inside. This means that the dosing reservoir cannot be accidentally emptied prematurely during a filled transport.
  • a separate cover of the reservoir can be dispensed with, since this can instead be closed with the screen by means of the dosing reservoir that can be used in the manner of a cap.
  • the dosing store takes on a dual function as a cover or occasionally used dosing store in the washing drum.
  • the shade may be displaceable between the closed position and the open position by manual intervention. There is the possibility that a switching element that is separate from the outer housing can shift the shutter between the closed position and the open position.
  • the screen is preferably designed in such a way that it changes into the closed position as a result of the coupling process with the reservoir. It is also preferred that the panel is designed in such a way that it changes into the open position when it is uncoupled.
  • the panel can be displaced between the closed position and the open position by a switching element inside the outer housing when it is coupled.
  • the screen changes between the closed position and the open position by displacing these housing parts with respect to one another.
  • the screen can be closed by the actuation handle of the pump device during actuation of the pump device.
  • the at least one screen can be designed in such a way that the outlet openings can be closed individually or in groups. It is preferred, however, that in an embodiment with a plurality of outlet openings, at least two screens can always be moved together and preferably with a single screen element, on which the screens are provided in one piece, between the closed position and the open position. It is preferred that, in the case of an embodiment with a plurality of outlet openings, all the screens can be displaced together in order to switch between the closed position and the open position with one movement.
  • the pumping device can be of particularly simple design as a result of the aperture mentioned, since the interior of the dosing reservoir can also be used as a pumping chamber when the aperture is in the closed state.
  • the screen is preferably designed in such a way that it closes the outlet opening in an essentially airtight manner.
  • the negative pressure generated in the pump chamber can be used to suck in the detergent.
  • sealing of the outlet opening by the screen is not absolutely necessary, sealing can be advantageous in order to prevent the detergent from passing through the outlet opening.
  • the tightness requirements for the screen can be lower in such a configuration.
  • the outer housing can have two partial shells that are accessible from the outside, namely an upper partial shell and a lower partial shell. These partial shells are coupled to one another.
  • the partial shells can be coupled to one another in such a way that the dosing store can be opened.
  • the partial shells can either be completely separated from one another or have a hinge, as a result of which the dosing store can be opened.
  • the two partial shells are coupled to one another in such a way that they can be moved relative to one another without the dosing store being opened as a whole.
  • a closed relative mobility is particularly suitable for a design in which the displacement of the screen relative to the outlet opening is brought about by displacement of the partial shells relative to one another.
  • Such a coupling of the two partial shells can include, for example, guide grooves and/or guide webs in the edge area of the partial shells, which together form a guide.
  • the at least one outlet opening is preferably provided on one of the partial shells, preferably the upper one, and the at least one screen is provided on the other partial shell.
  • the partial shells can be moved relative to one another in the coupled state between a first relative position and a second relative position. With such a configuration, the partial shells do not have to be separated from one another and/or opened up in order to switch between the first relative position and the second relative position.
  • the at least one screen covers the at least one outlet opening, and in the second relative position of the partial shells, the at least one screen exposes the at least one outlet opening.
  • Such a design can do without a separate switching element on which the screen or screens are provided, since shifting the partial shells causes a change between the closed position and the open position.
  • the mobility between the first and second sub-shells can be a translational movement.
  • one of the two partial shells can be moved relative to the other partial shell, for example downwards, as a result of which the screen closes the outlet opening.
  • this movement coincides with the movement of the pump actuation.
  • the diaphragm can be closed and the pumping device can be actuated with just one actuation.
  • the partial shells can be rotated relative to one another.
  • the partial shells in particular rotatable relative to one another about an axis of rotation.
  • the partial shells are preferably designed in the manner of hemispheres.
  • the partial shells occupy spherical segments of the outer housing of different sizes.
  • the individual housing parts have a mobility relative to one another that corresponds to the mobility of the partial shells described.
  • the housing parts are movable relative to one another about an axis of rotation, regardless of their external design, in particular by means of a circular guide between the housing parts.
  • This axis of rotation preferably coincides with a central axis of the coupling device described or of the receiving shaft.
  • the two partial shells have a limitation of the rotational movement in such a design. This makes it easier to establish the open state and closed state.
  • a limitation is of particular advantage in connection with a coupling device which is designed as a thread or a coupling bayonet.
  • the coupling device can, in the simplest case, be a sealing surface that enables adequate sealing simply because of the weight with which the dosing store rests on the reservoir and possibly the actuating force exerted for the pumping process.
  • it is preferably a coupling device by means of which the dosing store can be fastened to the supply store in a non-positive or positive manner.
  • the coupling device is provided in the free area on said wall of the receiving shaft.
  • the coupling device is particularly preferably the above-mentioned internal thread, by means of which the dosing reservoir can be screwed onto a corresponding external thread of the reservoir in the manner of a cap.
  • the coupling device can be designed in such a way that it enables a rotational movement-limiting coupling to the storage device in one direction of rotation.
  • the anti-rotation lock that can be produced in this way is particularly advantageous in the case of a dosing store with rotary switchable screens, as will be explained below.
  • This coupling which limits the rotational movement, means that when the dosing store is coupled to the reservoir due to the design of the coupling devices on the dosing store and a state can be produced on the reservoir in which the dosing reservoir cannot be rotated any further relative to the reservoir, at least in one direction of rotation.
  • Such a limitation can be achieved, for example, via the named thread with a defined end point or else the named coupling bayonet.
  • Such a coupling device is advantageous in particular in the case of a design of the dosing store with the above-described screens on housing parts which can be moved in rotation.
  • the dosing store in which the dosing store is coupled to the reservoir by means of the rotary movement, the dosing store can be coupled in just one step and the relative position of the screens can be changed.
  • this housing part can be rotated relative to the reservoir and also relative to another housing part by applying torque to a housing part of the metering reservoir. Due to this rotational movement-limiting coupling, the screen can be transferred to the closed position when coupling. With a single movement, the user can therefore place the dosing store on the reservoir, unscrew it if necessary, and also move the panel or panels into the closed position.
  • the coupling device is designed in such a way that when the dosing store is uncoupled, the aperture is correspondingly opened again by the rotary movement. It is preferred that the coupling device is configured such that the application of force or torque required for decoupling the dosing store is higher than the application of force or torque required for transferring the aperture to the open position. Accordingly, a decoupling movement by the user firstly leads to a displacement of the panel into the open position and then to a release of the coupling.
  • the coupling device can also be the web or a groove mentioned above.
  • the web or the groove preferably extend along the main extension direction of the receiving shaft and corresponds to a groove or a web on the outlet connector of the reservoir in order to prevent twisting between the dosing reservoir and the reservoir.
  • a coupling device can comprise further elements, such as a snap connection, which prevents the dosing store from falling off or slipping off the storage store.
  • a coupling device with a coupling bayonet already mentioned is also possible, ie a coupling device consisting of an axial and a circumferential groove and a holding body which interacts therewith and is movable within the groove.

  • the pump device described above preferably has an externally accessible wall section on the outer housing of the dosing reservoir as an actuating handle, which can be moved relative to the filling opening and which can be pressed in manually in such a way that pressing in the wall section reduces the interior space of the dosing reservoir or one that can be isolated from the rest of the interior space Pump chamber can be effected.
  • a pump actuation can be carried out in a particularly simple manner as a result of such a design of the actuation handle.
  • the pumping device can take place by simply pressing down the movable wall section.
  • the pump device when the pump is actuated, can have a pump chamber which is formed by the entire interior of the dosing reservoir and which becomes smaller during the pump actuation. This means that an overpressure that occurs when the pump chamber volume is reduced and a negative pressure that subsequently occurs when the pump chamber volume is increased have the same effect in the entire interior.
  • the minimum pumping chamber volume is preferably less than 90% of the maximum pumping chamber volume, so that the pumping volume is preferably at least 10% of the interior volume.
  • the pumping device can have a pumping chamber which does not take up the entire interior space but is formed by a partial area of the interior space of the dosing reservoir, with this pumping chamber being able to be isolated at least in phases from the remaining area of the interior space during the pumping process.
