Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein wasserführendes Haushaltsgerät nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a water-conducting household appliance according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Aus der DE 298 18 080 U1 ist eine Vorrichtung zur Zugabe von Reinigungsmitteln in einer Geschirrspülmaschine bekannt. Die Vorrichtung weist ein Gehäuse auf, in dem ein beweglich gelagertes Behältnis angeordnet ist und dass eine Befüllstellung zum Befüllen mit Reinigungsmitteln, einer Grundstellung während des Betriebs und vor Abgabe der Reinigungsmittel und eine Zugabestellung zur Abgabe von Reinigungsmittel. Dabei muss das Behältnis in unterschiedliche Richtungen bewegt werden, um von der Befüllstellung zur Grundstellung und von der Grundstellung zur Zugabestellung gebracht zu werden.From the DE 298 18 080 U1 a device for adding detergents in a dishwasher is known. The device has a housing in which a movably mounted container is arranged and that a filling position for filling with cleaning agents, a basic position during operation and before dispensing of the cleaning agent and an addition position for dispensing detergent. The container must be moved in different directions to be brought from the filling position to the basic position and from the basic position to the addition.

Aus der DE 198 43 976 A1 ist eine Spülmittel-Abgabevorrichtung für eine Geschirrspülmaschine bekannt. Eine Tragkonstruktion enthält im Wesentlichen einen Rahmen und, einstückig mit diesem ausgebildet, ein wannenförmiges Gebilde, das den Aufnahmebehälter für die Aufnahme einer bestimmten Menge an Spülmittel bildet. Zu diesem ortsfesten Aufnahmebehälter gehört ein Deckel, der um eine erste Achse schwenkbar an der Tragkonstruktion angelenkt ist. Ferner ist ein Hilfsteil an dem Deckel so angelenkt, dass es um eine zur ersten parallel angeordneten zweiten Achse schwenkbar ist. Wenn der Deckel sich in der Schließstellung befindet und das Hilfsteil sich in der Öffnungsstellung befindet, ist ein Einfüllen einer bestimmten Menge an Spülmittel in den Aufnahmebehälter bei nur teilweise geöffneter Klappe der Spülmaschine möglich.From the DE 198 43 976 A1 a dishwashing detergent dispenser for a dishwasher is known. A support structure essentially comprises a frame and, integrally formed therewith, a trough-shaped structure which forms the receptacle for receiving a certain amount of detergent. To this stationary receptacle includes a lid which is hinged about a first axis pivotally mounted on the support structure. Further, an auxiliary part is hinged to the cover so that it is pivotable about a second axis arranged parallel to the first. When the lid is in the closed position and the auxiliary part is in the open position, a filling of a certain amount of detergent in the receptacle with only partially open flap of the dishwasher is possible.

Aus der WO 01/72198 A1 ist ebenfalls eine Vorrichtung zur Zugabe von Reinigungsmitteln in eine Geschirrspülmaschine bekannt. Dabei kann der Aufnahmebehälter geneigt aus dem Zugabegehäuse bewegt werden, um ihn mit einer Reinigungsmitteldosis zu befüllen. Durch eine umgekehrte Bewegung wird er wieder in seinen Sitz in dem Zugabegehäuse bewegt. Ferner ist der Behälter an einer Welle drehbar gelagert, deren Drehachse rechtwinklig zur ersten Bewegung des Behälters angeordnet ist. Nach einer Drehung um 180° Grad ist eine Abgabe des Reinigungsmittels möglich.From the WO 01/72198 A1 An apparatus for adding detergents to a dishwashing machine is also known. In this case, the receptacle can be moved inclined out of the addition of housing to fill it with a detergent dose. By a reverse movement, he is moved back into his seat in the addition housing. Further, the container is rotatably mounted on a shaft whose axis of rotation perpendicular to the first movement of the container is arranged. After a rotation through 180 ° degrees, a release of the detergent is possible.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ein wasserführendes Haushaltsgerät mit einer einfachen Vorrichtung zur Reinigungsmittelzugabe anzugeben.Object of the present invention is to provide a water-conducting household appliance with a simple device for adding detergent.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein wasserführendes Haushaltsgerät mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.This object is achieved by a water-conducting household appliance with 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 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.

In einer 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 werden kann. Dabei kann das Behältnis nach Einbau in ein wasserführendes Haushaltsgerät um eine Drehachse drehbar sein, die im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Lotrichtung verlaufend angeordnet ist, d.h. bei im Wesentlich senkrecht verlaufenden Behälterwänden senkrecht zu einer der Behälterwände.In one embodiment, it is provided that the container is arranged rotatably, so that the container can be brought from the filling position to the normal 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 run essentially perpendicular to the vertical direction, ie, in the case of Essentially vertically extending container walls perpendicular to one of the container walls.

Vorzugsweise ist das Behältnis 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 between the basic position and the addition order is substantially completely movable within the housing. 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 kann. 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 cleaning agent 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 washroom, 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.

Erfindungsgemäß kann das 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 for filling with cleaning agent can be moved into the filling position deviating from the addition and the basic position. 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 einer 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.
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 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 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 basic position and the addition of the order depends on the particular embodiment. In one 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 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 can be rotatably mounted in the housing so that it is between the filling position, the basic position and the addition order is pivotable. 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 perpendicular to the Spülraumwand of 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 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 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 zu bewirken. Einige Bewegungen, beispielsweise die Bewegung des Behältnisses von der Befüllstellung in die Grundstellung können auch per Hand von einem Bediener durchgeführt werden. Außerdem kann das Behältnis in oder gegen deren Drehrichtung jeweils durch eine Federkraft beaufschlagt sein, die nach dem Lösen eines Rastelements eine Bewegung des Behältnisses bewirkt.In principle, all movements of the container can also be effected by the actuator, for example in the form of a motor, a coil or a bimetal. The bimetal can for example cause or effect the movement of the container 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. Some movements, for example, the movement of the container from the filling position to the home position can also be performed by hand by an operator. In addition, the container in or against the direction of rotation can be acted upon in each case by a spring force, which causes a movement of the container 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 Figur 1 ist eine Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Zugabevorrichtung 10 gezeigt, die in eine Aussparung einer Wand einer Geschirrspülmaschine einsetzbar ist. Bei der Wand handelt es sich um eine der senkrecht stehenden Wände, die den Spülraum der Geschirrspülmaschine bilden. Die Zugabevorrichtung 10 weist ein Gehäuse 12 auf, das in Richtung des Spülraumes von einer Blende 14 abgeschlossen ist. Eine Vorderseite 40 der Blende 14 weist in Richtung des Spülraumes. Die äußeren Abmessungen der Blende 14 sind etwas größer als die Öffnung in der Wand des Geschirrspülers, sodass die Blende 14 nach dem Einsetzen des Gehäuses 12 mit einer die Aussparung rahmenförmig umgebenden Rückwand an der Wand anliegt.In FIG. 1 an embodiment of an inventive adding device 10 is shown, which is insertable into a recess of a wall of a dishwasher. The wall is one of the vertical walls that form the dishwasher dishwasher. The adding device 10 has a housing 12 which is closed in the direction of the washing compartment by a diaphragm 14. A front side 40 of the panel 14 points in the direction of the washing compartment. The outer dimensions of the aperture 14 are slightly larger than the opening in the wall of the dishwasher, so that the aperture 14 after the Inserting the housing 12 rests against the wall with a recess surrounding the frame-like rear wall.

Die Blende 14 ist mit mehreren Öffnungen 16, 18 und 20 versehen. In der Öffnung 18 ist ein beweglich gelagerter Klarspülerbehälter 22, und in der Öffnung 20 ein beweglich gelagerter Reinigungsmittelbehälter 24 angeordnet. Der Reinigungsmittelbehälter 24 ist an seiner Unterseite beidseits über Zapfen 23 drehbar im Gehäuse 12 gelagert. In Figur 1 ist der Reinigungsmittelbehälter 24 in einer aus dem Gehäuse 12 in Richtung des Spülraumes ausgeschwenkten Position dargestellt. In dieser Position verhindert ein Rastelement 26 das weitere Herausschwenken des Reinigungsmittelbehälters 24. Eine Rückwand 28 des Reinigungsmittelbehälters 24 liegt in dieser Position am Rastelement 26 an. Ein ähnlich aufgebautes Rastelement 30 dient zur Fixierung des ebenfalls an seiner Unterseite drehbar im Gehäuse 12 gelagerten Klarspülerbehälters 22.The aperture 14 is provided with a plurality of openings 16, 18 and 20. In the opening 18, a movably mounted rinse aid container 22, and in the opening 20, a movably mounted detergent container 24 is arranged. The detergent container 24 is rotatably mounted in the housing 12 on both sides via pins 23 on its underside. In FIG. 1 the detergent container 24 is shown in a pivoted out of the housing 12 in the direction of the washing compartment position. In this position, a locking element 26 prevents the further pivoting out of the detergent container 24. A rear wall 28 of the detergent container 24 is in this position on the locking element 26 at. A similarly constructed latching element 30 serves for fixing the rinse aid container 22 likewise rotatably mounted in the housing 12 on its underside.

In der ausgeschwenkten Position des Reinigungsmittelbehälters 24 weist seine Öffnung 32 in Richtung des Spülraumes der Geschirrspülmaschine. Die so von Seiten des Spülraumes zugängliche Öffnung 32 kann in dieser Stellung mit Reinigungsmittel befüllt werden. Figur 1 zeigt folglich eine Befüllstellung. Das Befüllen des Reinigungsmittelbehälters 24 mit Reinigungsmittel erfolgt in der Regel durch einen Benutzer der Geschirrspülmaschine.In the pivoted-out position of the detergent container 24 has its opening 32 in the direction of the washing compartment of the dishwasher. The thus accessible from the side of the washing compartment opening 32 can be filled in this position with detergent. FIG. 1 thus shows a filling position. The filling of the detergent container 24 with detergent is usually carried out by a user of the dishwasher.

Nach dem Befüllen des Reinigungsmittelbehälters 24 wird eine Vorderseite 34 des Reinigungsmittelbehälters 24 von dem Benutzer in Richtung des Pfeils A gedrückt, bis eine obere Kante 36 der Vorderseite 34 an eine abgeschrägte Fläche 38 des Rastelements 26 anschlägt. Das weitere Drücken in Richtung des Pfeils A verursacht dann eine Bewegung des Rastelements 26 in Richtung des Pfeils B, bis die Vorderseite 34 des Reinigungsmittelbehälters 24 hinter dem Rastelement 26 einrastet und dann bündig mit der Blende 14 des Gehäuses 12 abschließt. Das Rastelement 26 ist entgegen der durch den Pfeil B dargestellten Richtung von einer nicht dargestellten, vorgespannten Feder mit Kraft beaufschlagt. Das ermöglicht es dem Rastelement 26, sobald sich die Vorderseite 34 hinter dem Rastelement 26 befindet, wieder in seine in Figur 1 gezeigte Ausgangsposition zurückzukehren. Der Reinigungsmittelbehälter 24 ist dann im Gehäuse 12 in einer Grundstellung fixiert, die Figur 2 zeigt.After filling the detergent container 24, a front side 34 of the detergent container 24 is pressed by the user in the direction of the arrow A until an upper edge 36 of the front side 34 abuts against a chamfered surface 38 of the latching element 26. The further pressing in the direction of arrow A then causes a movement of the locking element 26 in the direction of arrow B until the front 34 of the detergent container 24 engages behind the locking element 26 and then flush with the aperture 14 of the housing 12. The latching element 26 is acted upon against the direction shown by the arrow B by a biased spring, not shown, with force. This allows the locking element 26, as soon as the front 34 is behind the locking element 26, back into his in FIG. 1 return home position shown. The detergent container 24 is then fixed in the housing 12 in a basic position, the FIG. 2 shows.

Figur 2 gibt die bereits in Figur 1 gezeigte Zugabevorrichtung 10 in der Grundstellung wieder. Zur besseren Verständlichkeit werden die bereits in Figur 1 verwendeten Bezugszeichen für gleiche Elemente auch in Figur 2 verwendet. Die Vorderseite 34 des Reinigungsmittelbehälters 24 liegt in der Grundstellung mit der in den Spülraum weisenden Vorderseite 40 der Blende 14 in einer Ebene und schließt mit der Öffnung 20 des Gehäuses 12 im Wesentlichen bündig ab. FIG. 2 are already in FIG. 1 shown adding device 10 in the normal position again. For clarity, the already in FIG. 1 used reference symbols for the same elements also in FIG. 2 used. The front side 34 of the detergent container 24 is in the basic position with the facing in the washing compartment front 40 of the diaphragm 14 in a plane and closes with the opening 20 of the housing 12 is substantially flush.

Der drehbar mittels der Zapfen 23 im Gehäuse 12 gelagerte Reinigungsmittelbehälter 24 wird in Richtung des Spülraumes vom Rastelement 26 fixiert. Ein Verschwenken des Reinigungsmittelbehälters 24 in Richtung Innenraum des Gehäuses 12 wird durch eine Anzahl nicht dargestellter Anschläge bzw. Übertragungselemente verhindert, die mit einem ebenfalls nicht dargestellten Aktuator in Wirkverbindung stehen. In der Grundstellung verweilt der Reinigungsmittelbehälter 24 mit dem darin befindlichen Reinigungsmittel programmablaufabhängig beziehungsweise in Abhängigkeit von der Temperatur der Spülflüssigkeit so lange, bis der Aktuator die Begrenzung der Bewegbarkeit des Reinigungsmittelbehälters 24 in Richtung Innenraum des Gehäuses 12 freigibt.The rotatably mounted by means of the pin 23 in the housing 12 detergent container 24 is fixed in the direction of the washing compartment by the locking element 26. A pivoting of the detergent container 24 in the direction of the interior of the housing 12 is prevented by a number of not shown stops or transmission elements, which are in operative connection with an actuator, also not shown. In the initial position, the detergent container 24 with the cleaning agent therein remains depending on the program sequence or in dependence on the temperature of the rinsing liquid until the actuator releases the limitation of the mobility of the detergent container 24 in the direction of the interior of the housing 12.

Ist die Freigabe erfolgt, beginnt sich der Reinigungsmittelbehälter 24 aufgrund seines Eigengewichts oder eines Antriebes samt dem darin befindlichen Reinigungsmittel nach innen in das Gehäuse 12 hinein zu bewegen. Die dabei ausgeführte Bewegung des Reinigungsmittelbehälters 24 ist eine Dreh- bzw. Schwenkbewegung des Reinigungsmittelbehälters 24 um eine Drehachse 42 herum (s. Fig. 3). Sie erfolgt, bis die Rückwand 28 des Reinigungsmittelbehälters 24 auf der Rückseite der Blende 14 anschlägt. Diese Position des Reinigungsmittelbehälters 24 ist die Zugabestellung. In dieser Stellung weist die Öffnung 32 (in Figur 3 nicht zu sehen) in einen Schacht 44. Dessen Ende bildet die Öffnung 16 in der Blende 14. Der Boden des Schachts 44 weist die Form einer schiefen Ebene 46 auf, auf der das Reinigungsmittel aus dem Reinigungsmittelbehälter 24 heraus in den Spülraum der Geschirrspülmaschine abgleitet.Once the release has taken place, the detergent container 24 begins to move inwardly into the housing 12 due to its own weight or a drive together with the cleaning agent located therein. The thereby executed movement of the detergent container 24 is a rotary or pivotal movement of the detergent container 24 about an axis of rotation 42 around (s. Fig. 3 ). It takes place until the rear wall 28 of the detergent container 24 strikes against the rear side of the panel 14. This position of the detergent container 24 is the addition. In this position, the opening 32 (in FIG. 3 The bottom of the shaft 44 has the shape of an inclined plane 46, on which the cleaning agent from the detergent container 24 slides out into the washing compartment of the dishwasher.

Der Reinigungsmittelbehälter 24 verbleibt bis zum Programmende in der Zugabestellung, sodass Spülflüssigkeit durch die Öffnung 20 in den oberen Bereich des Schachts 44 eintreten kann und eventuell auf der schiefen Ebene 46 verbliebene Reinigungsmittelreste durch die Öffnung 16 in Richtung Spülraum ausspülen kann. Der Aktuator bewirkt bei Programmende die Rückholung des Reinigungsmittelbehälters 24 aus der Zugabestellung in die Grundstellung, wobei die Vorderseite 34 des Reinigungsmittelbehälters 24 wieder am Rastelement 26 anschlägt.The detergent container 24 remains in the addition position until the end of the program, so that rinse liquid can enter through the opening 20 in the upper region of the shaft 44 and possibly on the inclined plane 46 remaining detergent residues can rinse through the opening 16 in the direction of the dishwasher. The actuator causes at the end of the program, the retrieval of the detergent container 24 from the addition to the basic position, wherein the front side 34 of the detergent container 24 abuts the locking element 26 again.

Zum erneuten Befüllen mit Reinigungsmittel muss das Rastelement 26 durch den Benutzer in Richtung des Pfeils B geschoben werden, sodass der Reinigungsmittelbehälter 24 in die in Figur 1 dargestellte Befüllstellung aus dem Gehäuse 12 herausschwenken kann. Die Bewegung des Reinigungsmittelbehälters 24 von der Grund- in die Zugabestellung kann zum Beispiel bei Erreichen einer bestimmten Temperatur der Spülflüssigkeit oder in Abhängigkeit vom Programmablauf durch den Aktuator ausgelöst werden.For refilling with detergent, the locking element 26 must be pushed by the user in the direction of arrow B, so that the detergent container 24 in the in FIG. 1 shown filling position can swing out of the housing 12. The movement of the detergent container 24 from the basic to the applied position can be triggered, for example, upon reaching a certain temperature of the rinsing liquid or as a function of the program sequence by the actuator.

Es wird abschließend noch einmal darauf hingewiesen, dass es sich bei der vorhergehenden, detailliert beschriebenen Zugabevorrichtung 10 um ein Ausführungsbeispiel handelt, welches vom Fachmann in verschiedenster Weise modifiziert werden kann, ohne den Bereich der Erfindung wie beansprucht zu verlassen. Insbesondere kann auch die konkrete Ausgestaltung des Reinigungsmittelbehälters 24 sowie dessen Bewegungsabläufe in anderer Form als in der hier beschriebenen erfolgen. Es wird der Vollständigkeit halber außerdem darauf hingewiesen, dass die Verwendung der unbestimmten Artikel "ein" beziehungsweise "eine" nicht ausschließt, dass die betreffenden Merkmale auch mehrfach vorhanden sein können.It is finally pointed out again that it is in the preceding, described in detail adding device 10 is an embodiment which can be modified by those skilled in various ways, without departing from the scope of the invention as claimed. In particular, the specific embodiment of the detergent container 24 and its movements can take place in a different form than described here. For the sake of completeness, it is also pointed out that the use of indefinite articles does not exclude "one" or "one", that the characteristics in question may also be present multiple times.
