Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for metering detergents in the washing of textiles in the household and in the commercial sector, in which the detergents are used in pre-portioned form, and to a shaped body for carrying out this method.
- Detergents or auxiliary washing agents are now metered in the usual textile washing processes in such a way that these agents are added to the inflowing water or they are flushed into the actual washing containers by the inflowing water. Since this can lead to difficulties of various kinds, it has been proposed as an alternative, particularly for washing in drum washing machines, to pack the detergents or washing aids in individual portions in bags, directly into the washing room, where the wall material of the bags is either in water completely dissolves or the bags are opened by the water or the slowly increasing temperature.
- the detergent active ingredients are filled in the desired amount into dimensionally stable, porous hollow bodies and these hollow bodies are then placed in the washing container together with the textile goods. In the course of the rotational movement, the detergent active ingredients are then gradually leached out of the water through the openings in the hollow bodies. To ensure that the detergent active substances flow out slowly and as evenly as possible, for - 2 -
- the invention relates to a method for dosing pre-portioned textile detergents, in which the detergent is packaged in portions in one or more bags made of water-soluble film and introduced into a dimensionally stable, reclosable hollow body which has one or more permanent openings in its outer wall and which closes The hollow body and its contents are brought into contact with the water which is used to produce the wash liquor.
- the new method is suitable for dosing both liquid and powdery or block-shaped solid detergents or washing aids, but is particularly good for dosing viscous, gel or pasty detergents.
- the latter detergents have so far only been able to be dosed with the aid of complex premixers, so that their use was essentially limited to large, continuous washing machines which justified such an investment.
- the material from which the sachets are made can in principle be any water-soluble film-forming organic polymer materials. Preferably materials are used that can be safely discharged with the wastewater for ecological reasons. Films made of polyvinyl alcohol and - 3 -
- partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl acetate and copolymers of vinyl alcohol with monomers other than vinyl acetate and partially hydrolyzed copolymers of vinyl acetate with monomers other than vinyl alcohol.
- Partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl acetates are particularly preferred since the degree of hydrolysis allows the rate of dissolution of the film to be varied within wide limits.
- the shape of the bag and the thickness of the film material used can also be varied within wide limits, so that the opening behavior of the bags can be predetermined over a wide range.
- the reclosable hollow body which is used to hold the washing or washing aid packaged in portions, is a dimensionally stable hollow body which has one or more openings on one side in its outer wall.
- Dimensionally stable in this context means that the hollow body practically does not deform during the washing process in the washing machine drum under the forces and conditions occurring there.
- the hollow body should preferably not have any sharp outer corners and edges, which could lead to damage to sensitive textiles when the hollow body is continuously circulated together with the textiles in the washing drum. This means that, for example, cubes, tetrahedra or cuboids in the conventional form should preferably not be used in the method according to the invention, but bodies of this type, the corners and edges of which are rounded only to such an extent that the original shape of the body remains recognizable.
- Hollow bodies which have no flat outer surfaces and in particular those which have an essentially spherical shape are particularly preferably used.
- the hollow body should have at least one reclosable opening, which must be large enough so that the bags in which the detergent or washing aid is located can be inserted into the interior of the hollow body with ease. In the simplest case, this opening can be closed by inserting the bag with a waterproof adhesive strip.
- the hollow body is preferably composed of two or - 4 -
- the hollow body can be provided with a screw-in lid or with a lid that can be attached to the other part of the hollow body by a snap mechanism.
- the hollow body preferably consists of two parts of approximately the same size, which can be reversibly joined together. It is particularly preferred to use a hollow body which consists of two parts which are movably connected to one another and which can be assembled and separated again in the manner described above for closing and opening the hollow body.
- This movable connection can consist, for example, of a chain, a hinge or an equivalent elastic plastic band.
- An essential feature of the dimensionally stable, reclosable hollow body is the presence of one or preferably several permanent openings in its outer wall, these openings being intended to be provided on one side.
- the term "one-sided" in this case does not presuppose the presence of a real side and thus an angular body, but is only intended to mean here that the body can be divided into two equilibrium parts by a separating surface in such a way that one of the two There are more openings on the sides than on the other These openings are permanently present and significantly smaller than the filling opening of the hollow body, so that the unchanged bag cannot escape from these openings.
- Water and wash liquor should pass through the outer wall of the hollow body through these openings can flow, the flow rate can be determined within a wide range by the number and size of the openings.
- these openings should be provided so that all of these openings are on one side of the hollow body.
- the shape of the openings can be largely freely designed Size d it hollow body is chosen so that its interior of - 5 -
- the hollow body filled and reclosed with the detergent pouch is brought into contact with the water which is used to produce the wash liquor.
- the hollow body with the textile material is placed in the washing drum and is reached there by the inflowing water and later by the wash liquor during the washing process.
- the water that has penetrated into the hollow body through the openings does not leave it immediately because of the one-sided arrangement of the openings, but is first circulated in the hollow body due to its movement in the washing drum.
- the wall material of the bag dissolves and also releases the contents of the bag for dissolution in the water.
- the detergent Due to the delayed exchange of the water in the hollow body or the detergent solution with the surrounding water, the detergent is released into the wash liquor gradually and therefore very evenly. Direct contact between the undiluted detergent and the textile is avoided.
- the dispensing speed of the detergent can be adapted within wide limits to the needs of the washing process, taking into account its solubility and the water temperature.
- the hollow body used according to the invention has, in a special embodiment, a perforated partition in its interior, which is attached in such a way that its interior is in - 6 -
- the part of the room which receives the detergent is delimited by an outer wall without openings.
- the water preferably first penetrates into the part which contains no detergent and only reaches the detergent in the bag from this prechamber through the perforated partition. This makes it possible to control the opening speed not only by the number, the size and the arrangement of the openings in the outer wall of the hollow body, but also by the type of perforation in the partition.
- the partition can be firmly connected to the hollow body or can also be attached in an exchangeable form in the hollow body.
- the partition is preferably firmly connected to the part of the hollow body which is not intended for receiving the bag. This part preferably comprises 20 to 50% of the hollow body content.
- the perforation of the partition wall can consist of one or more small openings which can be provided in an insulated manner or can be designed like a screen or like a grid.
- the number and size of the openings determine the flow rate and thus the delay effect when the detergent dissolves in the wash liquor.
- the interaction of the perforated partition in the interior of the hollow body with the one-sided attachment of the openings in its outer wall leads to a particularly uniform distribution of the detergent in the wash liquor.
- the molded body can be made from any dimensionally stable material, provided that this material is unbreakable and corrosion-resistant under the above-mentioned conditions.
- the hollow body can be wholly or partly formed from metal or ceramic, but it is preferred to use plastic for its manufacture. - 7 -
- Plastics which allow the hollow body to be produced by injection molding are particularly preferred, in particular polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). Of these materials, polypropylene is particularly preferred. If required, however, the individual parts of the hollow body can also be made from different materials.
- Figure 1 shows in a schematic form a hollow body which can be used according to the invention in the form of a hollow ball, consisting of two parts (1, 2) of approximately the same size, which are movably connected with an elastic band (3).
- the upper of the two hollow spherical parts (1) has openings (4) in its outer wall which, in the process according to the invention, allow water or wash water to flow in and out.
- the lower part (2) of the hollow sphere has no such openings in its outer wall.
- Figure 1 shows the hollow sphere in its unfolded form; when the ball is closed, the reversible cohesion of the two hollow ball parts is ensured by a locking mechanism, not shown here.
- Figure 2 shows a hollow body according to the invention, which differs from the hollow body of Figure 1 by the presence of a perforated partition (5) in its interior.
- the perforated dividing wall (5) is fixed and connected all round to the part (1) of the hollow ball which has the openings (4) in its outer wall.
- the second part (2) of the hollow ball is intended for receiving the detergent pouch or pouches.
- Figure 2 also shows the hollow ball in its unfolded form, with a locking mechanism (not shown) ensuring that after folding both ball halves are reversible and sufficiently firmly connected to one another for the washing process.
- the method according to the invention also includes variants in which not the entire amount of detergent required for the wash cycle is contained in a single bag, but rather this amount of detergent in several bags - 8th -
- the individual bags can have the same content, for example if double or triple dosing of the detergent is desired because of particularly heavy soiling.
- the individual bags can also contain different detergent active ingredients if the intention is to use individual active ingredients only for special wash cycles, but not for others. In this way, the composition of the wash liquor can be controlled by the consumer within wide limits.
- the accommodation of individual detergent components in separate bags also makes it possible to use chemically incompatible substances that cannot be stored together in a washing bath.
- the process according to the invention was carried out in a commercial drum washing machine with a paste-like heavy-duty detergent containing bleach.
- the detergent was packaged in tubular bags made of polyvinyl alcohol in portions of 170 g. 1 bag per wash was placed in a spherical hollow body and this hollow body was then placed in the washing drum together with the laundry to be washed before the start of the washing process.
- the spherical hollow body consisted of two equal-sized hemispheres made of polyethylene, which were movably connected to each other with a plastic hinge and could be reversibly closed using a tongue and groove mechanism.
- nub-shaped elevations were attached to the outside on both spherical halves on the side opposite the hinge.
- a perforated intermediate wall was fixed and attached to the edge in such a way that it separated a spherical segment which comprised approximately 40% of the spherical volume.
- the outer wall of this separated spherical part had 50 circular holes with a diameter of 4 mm. There were 30 circular holes with a diameter of 2 mm in the partition.
- the outer wall of the lower hemisphere had no openings.
- the wall thickness of the hollow body was approximately 2 mm, the outer diameter 80 mm.
- the detergent had a specific weight of 1.52 g / cm 3 and had the following composition:
