Definitions

• an automatic dishwashing detergent dispenser that is to say a device that automatically dispenses detergent inside the dishwasher, without the need for any action on the part of the user.
• the present invention characterizes the special configuration and design of the dispenser and all the elements that are part of it, so that once a dispensing cap is screwed onto the container bottle of the dishwashing liquid or dishwashing liquid and the assembly is fixed in the inside a machine to wash the dishes, it is not necessary to worry about the dispensing of detergent, being carried out automatically, in fixed and regular doses until the emptying of the dishwasher bottle.
• the present invention is within the scope of the devices and means for the supply of dishwashers in dishwashing machines and the like.
• the dishwashing washing process involves, among other operations by the user, the provision of a generally compact and solid-state tablet in an automatic opening dispensing window after the start of washing.
• dishwasher detergent dispensers have been developed, which have a series of loads that are consumed in each wash. They have a wash counter Although it is a way to forget having to load the dishwasher tablet in each wash, the dispenser has many aspects of being improved, such as the dispensing of a uniform amount in each wash, also the inviolability of the container container of the load, as well as ensuring the interference of the water of each wash with the remaining load contained in the supply container, that is, that the loads are all equally effective in their washing process, in addition to having to specify a wash counter.
• dispensers need to have the space above the dispenser to the roof of dishwasher free and cannot be used in short cycles, and are not intended for liquid detergents.
• an automatic dishwasher dispenser that allows to increase the number of washes with automatic dispensing, which does not require so many construction and use requirements, and which naturally achieves a dispensing uniform and automatic, which allows the use of dishwasher in liquid state.
• the object of the present invention is an automatic dishwashing detergent dispenser comprising:
• the bottle containing the detergent liquid has a clamping clip on the grid of one of the dishwasher trays, it also has an externally threaded access mouth, and a small hole opposite to the emptying mouth, and which serves as a means to release the overpressure generated inside the container due to the temperature rise.
• the closure and dispensing assembly functions as a stopper, which has said dual purpose, to serve as a means of closing the container, as well as as a means of automatic and regular dispensing of the amount of detergent liquid.
• the closure and dispensing cap has a lower cap, an upper cap housed in the inner space of the lower cap, and a float disposed in the space between both caps and which can rise or fall depending on the presence or not of liquid detergent in the space between the lower and the upper cap.
• the closure and dispensing cap for its geometry and configuration serves as a means of opening the container containing the detergent liquid, also as an indicator that a container has been opened, and as a means of regulating the automatic dispensing of detergent.
• the amount of detergent liquid that is dispensed in each wash is equal to the free volume that is included inside the closure and dosing cap between the lower and lower cap less the float volume in the position that blocks the detergent inlet.
• the lower plug has a series of perforations or windows of different diameter, smaller ones arranged at the base of the lower plug to facilitate water evacuation, while in the perimeter vertical walls of the lower plug the windows are larger to facilitate the exit of soap and water.
• the principle of operation of the closure and dispensing cap is based on the buoyancy and displacement of a float housed in the closure and dispensing cap, so that when the detergent is supplied it is made up to an amount in which the ascent of the float blocks the detergent inlet into the inner space of the closure and dispensing cap, while the inlet is not made immediately but requires some time due to the viscosity of the detergent, so when the container for the first time is to be opened detergent is necessary to wait about thirty minutes, while in successive washes, unless they are done consecutively without time between them, when you are going to put a new dishwasher this is already with the dose prepared to be used in the washed.
• the device in a complementary embodiment, can be rechargeable by means of a screw cap or any other means of closure, which could be arranged in the upper part or in another part of the bottle containing the liquid to be dispensed.
• a dishwasher dispensing is achieved automatically, based on the force of gravity and the buoyancy of a piece that acts as a float, which allows the use of liquid detergents, which does not require complex devices. supply, which has means of checking the opening or not of a container.

• Figures 8, 9 and 10 show the closure and dispensing cap in three different situations, in the deactivated position, in activated without detergent, and in activated with detergent.
• FIG. 1 A perspective view in bottom view of the closure and dispensing assembly is shown in Figure 1 1.
• FIG. 12 A detail of the dishwasher bottle containing liquid is shown in Figure 12.
• the automatic dishwasher dispenser comprises a bottle (1) containing the product used as a dishwasher or detergent and a closure and dispensing assembly (2), as a closure and dispensing cap.
• Said assembly may be housed in a cover (3), the use of the cover (3) not being limiting.
• the detergent container bottle (1) has a clip (4) attached to the dishwasher basket, and has an access mouth through a threaded neck (8) on the outside.
• the closure and dispensing assembly (2) that functions as a plug comprises:
• a float (7) movable between a lower position in contact with the lower float (5) and an upper one in contact with the upper plug (6).
• the lower cap has a .base in which there are perforations (10) for water evacuation, while perimetrically it has a vertical flange on which there are windows (9) for evacuation of the set of soap and water, in addition, in Its central part has a vertical pop-up rod (14) that serves as a guide for the float (7) and the dishwasher liquid penetration area into the space between the float (7) and the lower plug (5).
• the upper cap (6) has a disk shape on which there are a series of windows or perforations (12) through which the water penetrates.
• the upper cap (6) has in its central part an upper cylindrical element that has an internally threaded cavity (13), and the upper edge of the cylindrical element, inviolability fins (1 1) emerge
• the float (7) has a discoidal shape of dimensions such that it can rise and fall in the free space defined between the lower plug (5) and the upper one (6). From the center of the float a perforated cylindrical projection (15) emerges (16) along its entire length and has a notch (20) for the guided displacement of the float by the guiding rod (14).
• the detergent When washing begins, the detergent is present under the float (7) and the water begins to penetrate through the water inlet (18) through the windows or perforations (12) that are made in the upper cap (6).
