- the container or the receptacle can be moved together with the container for filling with cleaning agent in the deviating from the addition and the basic position filling position in all embodiments.
- the movement can also be due to gravity.
- a positionally accurate positioning of the container in the respective positions is important.
- a latching element is arranged on the housing or on the receptacle, with which the container can be fixed in the basic position and in the filling position.
- the movement of the container between the basic position and the addition of the order depends on the particular embodiment. In the embodiment without receiving only the container between the filling position, the basic position and the addition position is pivoted. The movement of the container between all three positions takes place about a stationary axis of rotation.
- the container between the filling position and the basic position is moved around a first and between the basic position and the addition order about a second axis of rotation.
- the first axis of rotation is stationary relative to the receptacle and the housing and the second axis of rotation is formed stationary relative to the container and the receptacle.
- the axes of rotation need not necessarily be arranged in parallel. You can also be angular, for example, at right angles to each other.
- the movement of the container between the filling position, the basic position and the supply order is basically freely determinable.
- Preferred is a rotary or pivoting movement of the container.
- the container may be rotatably mounted in the housing or in the receptacle, so that it is pivotable between the filling position, the basic position and the addition position.
- the rotation or pivoting movement of the container between the filling position, the basic position and the addition position can take place in a plane which is arranged vertically and perpendicular to the Spülraumwand the dishwasher. This has the advantage that the detergent in the addition of gravity following and can get without additional aids from the container in the washroom.
- a transmission can be arranged between the actuator and the container.
- the transmission for example, different speeds of movement of the actuator and the container can be realized. Also, high, necessary for the movement of the container filled with detergent forces can be achieved with a corresponding transmission ratio of the transmission of an actuator with low driving forces.
- all movements of the container or of the receptacle can also be effected by the actuator, for example in the form of a motor, a coil or a bimetal.
- the bimetal may, for example, cause or effect the movement of the container or the receptacle depending on the temperature.
- This is a purely mechanical control.
- a control device for example, program sequence-dependent, to then cause the movement of the container or the recording.
- Some movements for example the movement of the container or the receptacle together with the container from the filling position to the basic position can also be performed manually by an operator.
- both the container and the receptacle can be acted upon in or against the direction of rotation in each case by a spring force, which causes a movement of the container or the receptacle after releasing a latching element.
- the actuator may also be a H Schollselement that triggers the pivotal movement of the container between the basic position and the addition order at a certain rinse water temperature or at a certain program section.
- the movement of the container takes place after triggering solely by its gravity or by a biased towards the addition of spring.
- the triggering can, for example, consist of a release of a catch between the container and the housing.
- damping element may also be part of the transmission or the transmission itself.
- the actuator can at the same time and in addition to the addition of the cleaning agent which cause a water softening agent and / or a rinse aid in the washing compartment.

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a device according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
Aus der
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine einfachere Vorrichtung zur Reinigungsmittelzugabe anzugeben.The object of the present invention is to provide a simpler device for adding detergent.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.This object is achieved by a device having the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiment and further developments of the invention are described in the subclaims.
Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass das Behältnis von der Befüllstellung zur Grundstellung und von der Grundstellung zur Zugabestellung ohne Richtungsänderung bewegbar ist. Dies erlaubt einen einfachen und kompakten Aufbau der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung.According to the invention, it is provided that the container can be moved from the filling position to the basic position and from the basic position to the position of addition without change of direction. This allows a simple and compact construction of the device according to the invention.
In einer ersten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass das Behältnis drehbeweglich angeordnet ist, sodass durch eine Drehbewegung das Behältnis von der Befüllstellung zur Grundstellung und von der Grundstellung zur Zugabestellung gebracht zu werden kann. Dabei kann das Behältnis nach Einbau in ein wasserführendes Haushaltsgerät um Drehachse drehbar sein, die im Wesentlichen vertikal oder senkrecht zur Lotrichtung verlaufend angeordnet ist, d.h. bei im Wesentlich senkrecht verlaufenden Behälterwänden vertikal oder senkrecht zu einer der Behälterwände. In einer zweiten, alternativen Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, das Behältnis verschiebbar angeordnet ist, d.h. z.B. entlang einer Führung linear verschiebbar. Hier kann das Behältnis nach Einbau in ein wasserführendes Haushaltsgerät entlang einer Achse verschiebbar sein, die im Wesentlichen vertikal oder senkrecht zur Lotrichtung verlaufend angeordnet ist, d.h. bei im Wesentlich senkrecht verlaufenden Behälterwänden ebenfalls vertikal oder senkrecht zu einer der Behälterwände.In a first embodiment it is provided that the container is arranged rotatably so that the container can be brought from the filling position to the basic position and from the basic position to the addition position by a rotational movement. In this case, after installation in a water-conducting domestic appliance, the container may be rotatable about an axis of rotation which is arranged to extend essentially vertically or perpendicular to the vertical direction, ie, in the case of Substantially vertically extending container walls vertically or perpendicular to one of the container walls. In a second, alternative embodiment, it is provided that the container is displaceably arranged, ie linearly displaceable along a guide, for example. Here, after installation in a water-conducting domestic appliance, the container can be displaceable along an axis which is arranged to extend substantially vertically or perpendicular to the vertical direction, ie also vertically or perpendicular to one of the container walls in substantially vertical container walls.
Vorzugsweise ist das Behältnis der Vorrichtung zwischen der Grundstellung und der Zugabestellung im Wesentlichen vollständig innerhalb des Gehäuses bewegbar. Im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik ragt das Behältnis also weder in der Grundstellung noch in der Zugabestellung in den Spülraum hinein. In der Grundstellung schließt eine Seitenwand das becher- oder wannenförmige Behältnis in Richtung Spülraum bündig mit dem Gehäuse ab. Die Seitenwand des Behältnisses und die Seitenwand des Spülraumes, die das Gehäuse aufnimmt, liegen dabei in einer Ebene. Sie können auch in parallelen Ebenen liegen, die einen geringen Abstand zueinander aufweisen. Dieser Abstand kann durch einen Rahmen gebildet werden, mit dem das Gehäuse in der Seitenwand des Spülraumes befestigt ist. Das Behältnis ist in der Grundstellung bereits mit Reinigungsmittel befüllt. In dieser Stellung verhindert die zum Spülraum weisende Seitenwand des Behältnisses das Eindringen von Spülflüssigkeit in das Gehäuse bzw. deren Kontakt mit dem Reinigungsmittel. Auf einen zusätzlichen Deckel zum Schutz des Reinigungsmittels kann somit verzichtet werden.Preferably, the container of the device between the basic position and the addition position is substantially completely within the housing movable. In contrast to the prior art, the container thus projects into the washing compartment neither in the basic position nor in the supply position. In the basic position, a side wall closes the cup-shaped or trough-shaped container in the direction of the washing compartment flush with the housing. The side wall of the container and the side wall of the washing compartment, which accommodates the housing, lie in one plane. They can also lie in parallel planes, which are close together. This distance can be formed by a frame with which the housing is fixed in the side wall of the washing compartment. The container is already filled in the basic position with detergent. In this position, the side wall of the container facing the washing compartment prevents the penetration of washing liquid into the housing or its contact with the cleaning agent. An additional cover for the protection of the cleaning agent can thus be dispensed with.
Das Reinigungsmittel wird dem Spülraum mittels einer Bewegung des Behältnisses von der Grundstellung in die Zugabestellung zugeführt. Die Zufuhr kann durch die Bewegung allein erfolgen oder dadurch initiiert werden. Das Reinigungsmittel kann beispielsweise aufgrund seiner Schwerkraft und gegebenenfalls zusätzlich mit Unterstützung zum Beispiel einer schiefen Ebene bis in den Spülraum gelangen. In der Zugabestellung weist die Öffnung des Behältnisses in den Spülraum hinein, so dass das darin befindliche Reinigungsmittel in den Spülraum abgegeben werden können. Da das Behältnis bei seiner Bewegung zwischen der Grundstellung und der Zugabestellung zu keinem Zeitpunkt aus dem Gehäuse in den Spülraum hervorragt, kann es durch das Spülgut nicht behindert werden. Die Bewegung des Behältnisses zwischen der Grundstellung und der Zugabestellung beginnt mit einer Bewegung in Richtung Innenraum des Gehäuses, also vom Spülraum weg gerichtet. So kann selbst Spülgut, das beispielsweise in der Grundstellung direkt mit dem Behältnis in Kontakt steht, dessen Bewegung nicht beeinträchtigen oder verhindern.The cleaning agent is supplied to the washing compartment by means of a movement of the container from the basic position to the addition position. The supply can be done by the movement alone or be initiated by it. The cleaning agent may, for example, due to its gravity and possibly additionally with support, for example, an inclined plane reach into the washroom. In the supply position, the opening of the container into the washing compartment, so that the detergent contained therein can be discharged into the washing compartment. Since the container protrudes in its movement between the basic position and the addition order at any time from the housing in the dishwasher, it can not be hindered by the dishes. The movement of the container between the basic position and the addition order begins with a movement in the direction of the interior of the housing, so directed away from the sink. So even ware that is in direct contact with the container, for example, in the basic position, does not affect the movement or prevent.
Die Befestigung des Gehäuses an der Spülraumwand kann der oben erwähnte Rahmen übernehmen, der in eine dazu passende Öffnung der Wand eingesetzt ist. Der Rahmen kann dabei mittels formschlüssiger oder kraftschlüssiger Verbindungstechniken mit der Wand verbunden sein. Der Rahmen und die Wand können zum Beispiel miteinander verrastet sein, wodurch zusätzliche Befestigungselemente eingespart werden können. Bei einer alternativen Ausführungsform kann eine Ausbuchtung in der Wand das Gehäuse ersetzen. Das Behältnis und ein Aktuator sind dann direkt in die Ausbuchtung eingesetzt. Die Ausbuchtung, die das Gehäuse ersetzt, erstreckt sich in dem Raum zwischen Spülraumseitenwand und Außenwand des Geschirrspülers.The attachment of the housing to the Spülraumwand can take over the above-mentioned frame, which is inserted into a matching opening of the wall. The frame can be connected by means of positive or non-positive connection techniques with the wall. For example, the frame and the wall may be latched together, thereby saving additional fasteners. In an alternative embodiment, a bulge in the wall may replace the housing. The container and an actuator are then inserted directly into the bulge. The bulge, which replaces the housing, extends in the space between the dishwasher side wall and the outer wall of the dishwasher.
Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann das Behältnis in einer Aufnahme beweglich gelagert sein, die ihrerseits im Gehäuse beweglich gelagert ist. Die Aufnahme kann dabei das Behältnis rahmenförmig umgeben und direkt mit dem Gehäuse verbunden sein. Die Verbindung mit dem Gehäuse kann beispielsweise in Form von zwei Drehlagerstellen links und rechts des Behältnisbodens nahe der Spülraumwand ausgeführt sein. Diese Form der Lagerung ermöglicht ein Verschwenken der Aufnahme samt des Behältnisses aus dem Gehäuse heraus in Richtung Spülraum. In dieser Befüllstellung befindet sich das Behältnis fast vollständig im Spülraum, was dessen Zugänglichkeit erleichtert. In dieser Stellung kann das Behältnis von einem Benutzer manuell mit Reinigungsmittel befüllt werden. Die dazu notwendige Lagefixierung des Behältnisses relativ zur Aufnahme kann mittels an der Aufnahme und/oder am Behältnis angeordneter Rastmittel sichergestellt werden. Die Begrenzung der Schwenkbewegung der Aufnahme in Richtung Spülraum kann durch Anschläge erfolgen, die an der Aufnahme und/oder dem Gehäuse angeordnet sind.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the container may be movably mounted in a receptacle, which in turn is movably mounted in the housing. The receptacle can surround the container frame-shaped and be connected directly to the housing. The connection with the housing can be designed, for example, in the form of two pivot bearing points on the left and right of the container floor near the Spülraumwand. This form of storage allows pivoting of the recording together with the container out of the housing in the direction of the dishwasher. In this filling position, the container is almost completely in the washing compartment, which facilitates its accessibility. In this position, the container can be manually filled with detergent by a user. The necessary fixing of the position of the container relative to the receptacle can be ensured by means arranged on the receptacle and / or on the container latching means. The limitation of the pivoting movement of the recording in the direction of the washing compartment can be effected by stops which are arranged on the receptacle and / or the housing.
Nachdem der Befüllvorgang abgeschlossen ist, muss die Aufnahme mit dem daran verrasteten Behältnis wieder zurück in die Grundstellung geschwenkt und in dieser fixiert werden. Dazu sind an der Aufnahme Rastmittel angeordnet, die mit Gegenrastmitteln am Gehäuse zur Verrastung der Aufnahme mit dem Gehäuse in der Grundstellung zusammenwirken. Somit ist auch bei dieser Ausführungsform gewährleistet, dass das mit Reinigungsmittel befüllte Behältnis in der Grundstellung vor dem Kontakt mit Spülflüssigkeit geschützt ist, da in der Grundstellung die zum Spülraum weisende Behältniswand, die Aufnahme und die Spülraumwand eine geschlossene Fläche bilden.After the filling process has been completed, the receptacle with the container latched thereto must be pivoted back into the basic position and fixed in this position. For this purpose, latching means are arranged on the receptacle, which interact with counter-latching means on the housing for latching the receptacle with the housing in the basic position. Thus, it is also ensured in this embodiment that the container filled with detergent in the basic position is protected from contact with rinsing liquid, since in the basic position the container wall facing the washing compartment, the receptacle and the Spülraumwand form a closed surface.
Erfindungsgemäß kann bei allen Ausführungsformen das Behältnis oder die Aufnahme zusammen mit dem Behältnis zum Befüllen mit Reinigungsmittel in die von der Zugabe- und der Grundstellung abweichende Befüllstellung bewegt werden. Die Bewegung des Behältnisses von der Befüllstellung in die Grundstellung sowie dessen dortige Fixierung kann, wie auch das Befüllen, ein Aktuator automatisch bzw. programmablaufgesteuert oder ein Benutzer von Hand vornehmen. Alternativ kann die Bewegung auch schwerkraftbedingt erfolgen. Für einen definierten Bewegungsablauf ist eine lagegenaue Positionierung des Behältnisses in den jeweiligen Stellungen wichtig. Erfindungsgemäß ist dafür am Gehäuse oder an der Aufnahme ein Rastelement angeordnet, mit dem das Behältnis in der Grundstellung und in der Befüllstellung fixierbar ist.According to the invention, the container or the receptacle can be moved together with the container for filling with cleaning agent in the deviating from the addition and the basic position filling position in all embodiments. The movement of the container from the filling position into the basic position and its fixing there, as well as the filling, an actuator automatically or programmablaufgesteuert or make a user by hand. Alternatively, the movement can also be due to gravity. For a defined sequence of movements a positionally accurate positioning of the container in the respective positions is important. According to the invention, a latching element is arranged on the housing or on the receptacle, with which the container can be fixed in the basic position and in the filling position.
Auch die Bewegung des Behältnisses zwischen der Grundstellung und der Zugabestellung hängt von der jeweiligen Ausführungsform ab. Bei der Ausführungsform ohne Aufnahme wird nur das Behältnis zwischen der Befüllstellung, der Grundstellung und der Zugabestellung verschwenkt. Dabei erfolgt die Bewegung des Behältnisses zwischen allen drei Stellungen um eine ortsfeste Drehachse. Für die Ausführungsform mit Aufnahme ist charakteristisch, dass das Behältnis zwischen der Befüllstellung und der Grundstellung um eine erste und zwischen der Grundstellung und der Zugabestellung um eine zweite Drehachse herum bewegt wird. Die erste Drehachse ist ortsfest gegenüber der Aufnahme und dem Gehäuse und die zweite Drehachse ortsfest gegenüber dem Behältnis und der Aufnahme ausgebildet. Die Drehachsen müssen dabei nicht zwingend parallel angeordnet sein. Sie können durchaus auch winklig, beispielsweise im rechten Winkel zueinander verlaufen.The movement of the container between the basic position and the addition of the order depends on the particular embodiment. In the embodiment without receiving only the container between the filling position, the basic position and the addition position is pivoted. The movement of the container between all three positions takes place about a stationary axis of rotation. For the embodiment with recording is characteristic that the container between the filling position and the basic position is moved around a first and between the basic position and the addition order about a second axis of rotation. The first axis of rotation is stationary relative to the receptacle and the housing and the second axis of rotation is formed stationary relative to the container and the receptacle. The axes of rotation need not necessarily be arranged in parallel. You can also be angular, for example, at right angles to each other.
Die Bewegung des Behältnisses zwischen der Befüllstellung, der Grundstellung und der Zugabestellung ist grundsätzlich frei bestimmbar. Bevorzugt ist eine Dreh- oder Schwenkbewegung des Behältnisses. Das Behältnis kann dazu im Gehäuse oder in der Aufnahme drehbar gelagert sein, so dass es zwischen der Befüllstellung, der Grundstellung und der Zugabestellung verschwenkbar ist. Die Dreh- bzw. Schwenkbewegung des Behältnisses zwischen der Befüllstellung, der Grundstellung und der Zugabestellung kann dabei in einer Ebene erfolgen, die vertikal und senkrecht zur Spülraumwand des Geschirrspülers angeordnet ist. Das hat den Vorteil, dass das Reinigungsmittel in der Zugabestellung der Schwerkraft folgend und ohne zusätzliche Hilfsmittel aus dem Behältnis in den Spülraum gelangen kann.The movement of the container between the filling position, the basic position and the supply order is basically freely determinable. Preferred is a rotary or pivoting movement of the container. The container may be rotatably mounted in the housing or in the receptacle, so that it is pivotable between the filling position, the basic position and the addition position. The rotation or pivoting movement of the container between the filling position, the basic position and the addition position can take place in a plane which is arranged vertically and perpendicular to the Spülraumwand the dishwasher. This has the advantage that the detergent in the addition of gravity following and can get without additional aids from the container in the washroom.
Ferner kann zwischen dem Aktuator und dem Behältnis ein Getriebe angeordnet sein. Mit dem Getriebe können beispielsweise unterschiedliche Bewegungsgeschwindigkeiten von Aktuator und Behältnis realisiert werden. Auch hohe, für die Bewegung des mit Reinigungsmittel befüllten Behältnisses notwendige Kräfte können bei entsprechendem Übersetzungsverhältnis des Getriebes von einem Aktuator mit niedrigen Antriebskräften erzielt werden.Furthermore, a transmission can be arranged between the actuator and the container. With the transmission, for example, different speeds of movement of the actuator and the container can be realized. Also, high, necessary for the movement of the container filled with detergent forces can be achieved with a corresponding transmission ratio of the transmission of an actuator with low driving forces.
Grundsätzlich können alle Bewegungen des Behältnisses oder der Aufnahme auch vom Aktuator, beispielsweise in Form eines Motors, einer Spule oder eines Bimetalls, bewirkt werden. Das Bimetall kann zum Beispiel temperaturabhängig die Bewegung des Behältnisses oder der Aufnahme veranlassen oder bewirken. Dabei handelt es sich um eine rein mechanische Steuerung. Bei Einsatz eines Motors kann dieser von einer Steuerungseinrichtung zum Beispiel programmablaufabhängig angesteuert werden, um dann die Bewegung des Behältnisses oder der Aufnahme zu bewirken. Einige Bewegungen, beispielsweise die Bewegung des Behältnisses oder der Aufnahme samt Behältnis von der Befüllstellung in die Grundstellung kann auch per Hand von einem Bediener durchgeführt werden. Außerdem können sowohl das Behältnis als auch die Aufnahme in oder gegen deren Drehrichtung jeweils durch ein Federkraft beaufschlagt sein, die nach dem Lösen eines Rastelements eine Bewegung des Behältnisses oder der Aufnahme bewirkt.In principle, all movements of the container or of the receptacle can also be effected by the actuator, for example in the form of a motor, a coil or a bimetal. The bimetal may, for example, cause or effect the movement of the container or the receptacle depending on the temperature. This is a purely mechanical control. When using a motor, this can be controlled by a control device, for example, program sequence-dependent, to then cause the movement of the container or the recording. Some movements, for example the movement of the container or the receptacle together with the container from the filling position to the basic position can also be performed manually by an operator. In addition, both the container and the receptacle can be acted upon in or against the direction of rotation in each case by a spring force, which causes a movement of the container or the receptacle after releasing a latching element.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung kann der Aktuator auch ein Heißwachselement sein, das bei einer bestimmten Spülwassertemperatur oder bei einem bestimmten Programmabschnitt die Schwenkbewegung des Behältnisses zwischen der Grundstellung und der Zugabestellung auslöst. Die Bewegung des Behältnisses erfolgt nach dem Auslösen allein durch dessen Schwerkraft oder durch eine in Richtung Zugabestellung vorgespannte Feder. Das Auslösen kann beispielsweise in einem Lösen einer Verrastung zwischen Behältnis und Gehäuse bestehen.In a preferred embodiment, the actuator may also be a Heißwachselement that triggers the pivotal movement of the container between the basic position and the addition order at a certain rinse water temperature or at a certain program section. The movement of the container takes place after triggering solely by its gravity or by a biased towards the addition of spring. The triggering can, for example, consist of a release of a catch between the container and the housing.
Damit sich das Behältnis zwischen den einzelnen Stellungen möglichst gleichmäßig und beschleunigungsfrei bewegt, können zusätzlich Dämpfungselemente zwischen Behältnis und Gehäuse angeordnet sein. Bei Einsatz eines Getriebes zwischen Aktuator und Behältnis kann das Dämpfungselement auch Teil des Getriebes oder das Getriebe selbst sein.So that the container moves as uniformly as possible and without acceleration between the individual positions, additional damping elements between the container and the housing can be arranged. When using a gearbox between the actuator and the container, the damping element may also be part of the transmission or the transmission itself.
Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann der Aktuator zugleich und zusätzlich zur Zugabe des Reinigungsmittels die eines Wasserenthärtungsmittels und/oder eines Klarspülmittels in den Spülraum bewirken. Dazu kann der Aktuator über entsprechende Übertragungs- oder Betätigungsmittel mit einer Wasserenthärtungseinrichtung und/oder mit einer Klarspülmitteleinrichtung verbunden sein. So lassen sich weitere Bauteile und Bauraum einsparen.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the actuator can at the same time and in addition to the addition of the cleaning agent which cause a water softening agent and / or a rinse aid in the washing compartment. For this purpose, the actuator can be connected via corresponding transmission or actuating means with a water softening device and / or with a rinse aid device. This saves additional components and installation space.
