Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betreiben eines wasserführendes Haushaltsgeräts nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a method for operating a water-conducting household appliance according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Bspw. besitzen Geschirrspülmaschinen, insbesondere Haushalts-Geschirrspülmaschinen, üblicher Weise eine an der Innentür des Geschirrspülers angeordnete Reinigerzugabeeinrichtung und eine Klarspülerzugabeeinrichtung, die zu einem vorbestimmten Zeitpunkt während des Ablaufs eines Spülprogramms ihren gesamten Inhalt in den Spülraum der Geschirrspülmaschine abgeben. Dabei werden üblicher Weise als Reinigerzugabe pulverförmige Reinigungsmittel verwendet, die aus einer Vielzahl von Reinigersubstanzen zusammengesetzt sind, wobei jede der Substanzen eine Funktion aufweist, wie z.B. Enzyme, die Stärke, Eiweiß- oder Fettverbindung zersetzen können, Bleichmittel, Bleichaktivatoren, Dispergier- und Komplexiermittel, Tenside und Alkaliträger. Da jedoch das pulverförmige Reinigungsmittel zu einem Zeitpunkt zugegeben wird, sind alle Wirkstoffe des pulverförmige Reinigungsmittels ab dem Zugabezeitpunkt in der Spülflotte enthalten. Dies reduziert jedoch die Reinigungsleistung, da einzelne Komponenten sich negativ gegenseitig beeinflussen und damit das Reinigungsergebnis negativ beeinträchtigen. Eine Alternative zu der Verwendung von pulverförmigen Reinigern sind Kombinationsprodukte in Tablettenform, die vor Beginn eines Spülzyklus in den Spülraum eines Geschirrspülers eingebracht werden. Dabei sind die in Tablettenform ausgebildeten Kombinationsprodukte derart ausgebildet, dass gemäß den Schritten einer Haushalts-Geschirrspülmaschine die entsprechenden Wirkstoffkomponenten, wie z.B. Reiniger, Klarspüler, Härtebinder, Glasschutz etc. zeitlich versetzt freigegeben werden. Hier sind jedoch auch die möglichen Kombinationen und zeitlichen Reihenfolgen von Wirkstoffkomponenten begrenzt. Ferner tritt bei Haushalts-Geschirrspülmaschinen, welche Schnellprogramm mit beispielsweise 30 min Laufzeit aufweisen, das Problem auf, dass derartige Kombinationsprodukte in Tablettenform sich nicht während der Programmlaufzeit vollständig auflösen können und so am Ende eines derartigen Spülgangs die Gläser störende Wasserflecke aufweisen.For example. have dishwashers, in particular domestic dishwashers, usually a arranged on the inner door of the dishwasher detergent adding means and a rinse aid, which deliver their entire contents in the washing compartment of the dishwasher at a predetermined time during the course of a wash program. In this case, powder detergents which are composed of a plurality of detergent substances are usually used as detergent additives, each of the substances having a function, such as enzymes which can decompose starch, proteinaceous or fatty compounds, bleaches, bleach activators, dispersants and complexing agents, Surfactants and alkali carriers. However, since the powdery detergent is added at a time, all the active ingredients of the powdered detergent from the time of addition are included in the wash liquor. However, this reduces the cleaning performance, as individual components influence each other negatively and thus adversely affect the cleaning result. An alternative to the use of powdered cleaners are combination products in tablet form, which are introduced before the start of a rinse cycle in the washing compartment of a dishwasher. In this case, the combination products formed in tablet form are designed such that according to the steps of a domestic dishwasher, the corresponding active ingredient components, such as cleaners, rinse aids, hardness binders, glass protection, etc., are released at different times. Here, however, the possible combinations and time sequences of drug components are limited. Furthermore, in domestic dishwashers which have a rapid program with, for example, 30 minutes of running time, the problem arises that such combination products in tablet form can not dissolve completely during the program runtime and thus at the end of such a wash cycle the glasses have disturbing water spots.

Ferner gibt z.B. die WO 021077353 ein Dosiersystem zur Aufnahme in den Waschraum einer Waschmaschine an, das mindestens einen Aufnahmeraum für mindestens eine Waschsubstanz und mindestens einen zugeordneten Auslass zur Abgabe der mindestens einen Waschsubstanz beim Waschvorgang umfasst. Dieses Dosiersystem weist mindestens ein Steuerelement auf, so dass die Abgabe der Waschsubstanz beim Waschvorgang steuerbar ist oder/und dass das Dosiersystem Waschsubstanzen für mehrere Waschgänge bereithält und pro Waschgang eine bestimmte Menge hiervon freisetzt. Dabei ist die Abgabe mehrerer Waschsubstanzen, insbesondere unabhängig voneinander, steuerbar.Furthermore, eg the WO 021077353 a metering system for receiving in the washroom of a washing machine, which comprises at least one receiving space for at least one washing substance and at least one associated outlet for discharging the at least one washing substance during the washing process. This metering system has at least one control element, so that the delivery of the washing substance during the washing process is controllable and / or that the metering system holds washing substances ready for a plurality of washes and releases a certain amount thereof each time. In this case, the delivery of several washing substances, in particular independently, controllable.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Verfahren zum Betreiben eines wasserführenden Haushaltsgeräts, insbesondere Haushalts-Geschirrspülmaschine anzugeben, mit dem ein optimiertes Reinigungs- und Trockenergebnis bei minimal Chemie-Einsatz zu erreicht werden kann.It is an object of the invention to provide a method for operating a water-conducting household appliance, in particular household dishwasher, with which an optimized cleaning and drying result can be achieved with minimal use of chemicals.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird durch ein Verfahren mit dem Kennzeichen des neuen Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.

Es werden keine Kombinationsprodukte verwendet, die eine Vielzahl von Reinigersubstanzen mit je einer Funktion aufweisen. Hierdurch wird eine Wechselwirkung von einzelne Reinigungssubstartzen negativer Art ausgeschlossen und so eine Verbesserung der Reinigungs- und Trockenergebnisse erreicht.The inventive method for operating a water-conducting household appliance, in particular a domestic dishwasher, wherein the water-conducting household appliance has a program control for performing a plurality of successive program steps and the program control is at least a Reinigungsmitteldosiersystem in operative connection, according to the invention is characterized in that at least during a Program step is added to a function having cleaning substance. There are no combination products used, which have a variety of detergent substances each with a function. As a result, an interaction of individual Reinigungssubstartzen negative nature is excluded, thus achieving an improvement of the cleaning and drying results.

Vorzugsweise ist dabei vorgesehen, dass eine Vielzahl, insbesondere 3 bis 10, eine Funktion aufweisende Reinigungssubstanzen zudosiert werden. Dabei kann es sich bei den Reinigungssubstanzen um einen Alkaliträger handeln, mit dem ein Aufquellen des Schmutzes erreicht wird. Dies verbessert die Wirkung von dazudosierten Enzymen und erlaubt gleichzeitig die Entfernung von groben Anschmutzungen. Ferner können Dispergier- und/oder Komplexierstoffe zugeführt werden, die durch Komplexbildung die Wasserhärte reduzieren. Ferner werden auch andere Metall-lonen durch die Komplexbildung neutralisiert. Desweiteren können Proteine und/oder Peptide (Eiweiß) zersetzende Enzyme, Stärkeverbindung und/oder Polysacharide zersetzende Enzyme, wie zum Beispiel Amylase und Fettverbindung zersetzende Enzyme, wie beispielsweise Lipase zugegeben werden. Außerdem können Tenside, insbesondere nicht-ionische Tenside zugeführt werden, die die Dispergierung positiv unterstützen. Schließlich können noch Bleichmittel, wie zum Beispiel Wasserstoffperoxid hinzugefügt werden, so wie ein Bleichaktivator, wobei der Bleichaktivator die Wirkung hat, dass er die Wirkung von Bleichmitteln, wie zum Beispiel Wasserstoffperoxid, auch bei Temperaturen von unterhalb 80°C deutlich gesteigert wird.Preferably, it is provided that a plurality, in particular 3 to 10, a function having cleaning substances are added. In this case, the cleaning substances may be an alkali carrier with which swelling of the Dirt is achieved. This improves the effect of dosed enzymes while allowing the removal of coarse soils. It is also possible to add dispersants and / or complexing agents which reduce the water hardness by complexing. Furthermore, other metal ions are neutralized by the complex formation. Furthermore, proteins and / or peptides (protein) decomposing enzymes, starch compound and / or polysaccharide decomposing enzymes such as amylase and fatty compound decomposing enzymes such as lipase may be added. In addition, surfactants, in particular nonionic surfactants can be supplied, which support the dispersion positive. Finally, bleaching agents, such as hydrogen peroxide, may be added, such as a bleach activator, the bleach activator having the effect of significantly increasing the action of bleaching agents, such as hydrogen peroxide, even at temperatures below 80 ° C.

Dabei ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass während eines Programmschritts wenigstens zwei Reinigungssubstanzen zudosiert werden. Dies erlaubt es beispielsweise vor jedem Programmschritt die Wasserhärte zu optimieren, und anschließend eine weitere Reinigungssubstanz hinzuzudosieren.It is preferably provided that during a program step at least two cleaning substances are added. This allows, for example, to optimize the water hardness before each program step, and then to add a further cleaning substance.

Vorzugsweise ist dabei vorgesehen, dass wenigstens zwei Reinigungssubstanzen zudosiert werden, wie z.B. ein Bleichmittel, wie z.B. Wasserstoffperoxid und ein Bleichaktivator, um so eine optimale Wirkung der zugegebenen Reinigungssubstanz zu erreichen.Preferably, it is provided that at least two cleaning substances are metered in, e.g. a bleaching agent, such as e.g. Hydrogen peroxide and a bleach activator, so as to achieve an optimum effect of the added cleaning substance.

Ferner ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass wenigstens ein erstes Enzym und ein zweites Enzym mit unterschiedlichen Funktionen zeitlich beanstandet von einander zudosiert werden. Dies erlaubt es, nacheinander Enzyme zu verwenden, wie beispielsweise Protease und Amylase, die sich bei gleichzeitiger Zugabe gegenseitig negativ in ihrer Wirkung beeinflussen würden.Further, it is preferably provided that at least a first enzyme and a second enzyme with different functions are temporally objectionable dosed from each other. This allows successively to use enzymes, such as protease and amylase, which would influence each other negatively in their effect on simultaneous addition.

Dabei ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass als erstes Enzym ein Stärkeverbindung und/oder Polysacharide zersetzendes Enzym zudosiert wird. Bei dem Enzym handelt es sich um Amylase.It is preferably provided that a starch compound and / or polysaccharide-decomposing enzyme is added as the first enzyme. The enzyme is amylase.

Ferner ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass als zweites Enzym ein Protein und/oder Lipide zersetzende Enzym zudosiert wird, wie beispielsweise Protease.Furthermore, it is preferably provided that as the second enzyme, a protein and / or lipid-decomposing enzyme is added, such as protease.

Ferner wird vorgesehen sein, dass als weiteres Enzym ein Fettverbindungen zersetzendes Enzym zudosiert wird, wie z.B. Lipase.It will further be provided that as a further enzyme, a fat decomposing enzyme is added, such as e.g. Lipase.

Dabei ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass zuerst das erste Enzym und ein Dispergier- und Komplexierstoff zudosiert werden. Damit werden zuerst durch das erste Enzym Stärkeverbindungen und/oder Polysacharide zersetzt und durch die Zugabe eines Dispergier- und Komplexierstoffes die Wasserhärte optimiert und so die Wirkung des ersten Enzyms optimiert.It is preferably provided that first the first enzyme and a dispersing and complexing agent are metered. Thus, starch compounds and / or polysaccharides are first decomposed by the first enzyme and the water hardness is optimized by the addition of a dispersing and complexing agent, thus optimizing the effect of the first enzyme.

In einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung des Verfahrens ist vorgesehen, dass wenigstens nach Zugabe des zweiten Enzyms der PH-Wert erhöht wird. Diese kann beispielsweise durch Zugabe eines Alkaliträgers, wie z.B. Natronlauge erfolgen. Dies bewirkt eine bessere Aufquellung, so dass Enzyme besser wirken und bewirkt gleichzeitig einen verbesserten Glasschutz.In a preferred embodiment of the method, it is provided that at least after addition of the second enzyme, the pH is increased. This can be achieved, for example, by adding an alkali carrier, e.g. Sodium hydroxide solution. This causes a better swelling, so that enzymes work better and at the same time provides improved glass protection.

In einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ist vorgesehen, dass wenigstens ein Bleichmittel zugegeben wird. Bei dem Bleichmittel kann es sich um Wasserstoffperoxid handeln. Die Zugabe des Bleichmittels erfolgt zeitlich beabstandet von der Zugabe von Enzymen, z.B. in unterschiedlichen Programmschritten, um so eine die Wirkung negativ beeinflussende Wechselwirkung zu vermeiden.In a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention it is provided that at least one bleaching agent is added. The bleaching agent may be hydrogen peroxide. The addition of the bleaching agent is temporally spaced from the addition of enzymes, e.g. in different program steps, so as to avoid a negative impact effecting interaction.

Da Wasserstoffperoxid als Bleichmittel erst ab Temperaturen von ca. 80°C seine optimale Wirkung entfaltet, ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass ein Bleichaktivator zugegeben wird.Since hydrogen peroxide as bleaching agent develops its optimum effect only from temperatures of about 80 ° C., it is preferably provided that a bleach activator is added.

Ferner ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass wenigstens Erdalkaliionen wenigstens teilweise komplexiert werden. Dies kann durch Zugabe eines Dispergier- und/oder Komplexierstoffes erfolgen, so dass bei jedem Programmschritt eine optimale eingestellte Wasserhärte für maximale Wirkung der Reinigungssubstanzen gegeben ist. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann ein lonenaustauscher oder eine andere Wasserenthärtungseinrichtung oder -verfahren Verwendung finden.Furthermore, it is preferably provided that at least alkaline earth ions are at least partially complexed. This can be done by adding a dispersing and / or Komplexierstoffes, so that given each program step an optimal set water hardness for maximum effect of the cleaning substances. Alternatively or additionally, an ion exchanger or other water softening device or method may be used.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass die Vielzahl der Programmschritte programmgesteuert ablaufen. D.h., eine Bedienperson, wählt aus einer Vielzahl von bereitgestellten Spülprogrammen, die eine Vielzahl von Programmschritten mit unterschiedlichen Parametern kombinieren ein Programm aus, dass dann von einer Steuereinrichtung einer Geschirrspülmaschine durchgeführt wird. Dabei erfolgt die Dosierung der einzelnen Reinigungssubstanzen gemäß einer vorgegebenen Menge.In a preferred embodiment, it is provided that the multiplicity of program steps are program-controlled. That is, an operator selects a program to be performed by a controller of a dishwasher from a plurality of provided washing programs that combine a plurality of program steps with different parameters. In this case, the dosage of the individual cleaning substances is carried out according to a predetermined amount.

In einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung ist vorgesehen, dass wenigstens ein Programmschritt sensorgesteuert abläuft. Zum Beispiel kann mittels Trübungsmessung oder Leitfähigkeitsmessung eine Anpassung der Dosierung erfolgen.In a preferred embodiment it is provided that at least one program step is sensor-controlled. For example, adjustment of the dosage can take place by means of turbidity measurement or conductivity measurement.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist ein Programmschritt "Vorspülen" vorgesehen, in dem ein Alkaliträger und ein Dispergierstoff zugegeben werden. Die Dosierung kann gleichzeitig oder zeitlich voneinander getrennt erfolgen.In a preferred embodiment, a program step "prewash" is provided in which an alkali carrier and a dispersant are added. The dosage can be done simultaneously or separately.

In einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung ist vorgesehen, dass im Programmschritt "Vorspülen" zusätzlich ein Enzym und/oder ein Tensid zugegeben werden. Bei dem Enzym kann es sich um Protease, Amylase oder Lipase handeln, während es sich bei dem Tensid insbesondere um ein nicht-ionisches Tensid handeln kann. Auch hier kann die Dosierung gleichzeitig oder zeitlich voneinander getrennt erfolgen.In a preferred embodiment, it is provided that in the program step "prewash" additionally an enzyme and / or a surfactant are added. The enzyme may be protease, amylase or lipase, while the surfactant may be, in particular, a nonionic surfactant. Again, the dosage can be done simultaneously or separately.

Erfindungsgemäß ist ein Programmschritt "Reinigen" vorgesehen, in dem ein Alkaliträger, ein Dispergier- und/oder Komplexierstoff und wenigstens zwei Enzyme zeitlich beabstandet zugegeben werden. Die Dosierung der Komponenten kann wieder gleichzeitig oder zeitlich voneinander getrennt erfolgen, im Fall des Alkaliträgers und Dispergiers- und/oder Komplexierstoffes. Die zwei Enzyme, beispielsweise Protease und Amylase hingegen müssen zeitlich getrennt voneinander zugegeben werden, da die Protease die Wirkung der Amylase negativ beeinflusst.According to the invention, a program step "cleaning" is provided, in which an alkali carrier, a dispersing and / or complexing agent and at least two enzymes are added at a time interval. The metering of the components can again be carried out simultaneously or separately, in the case of the alkali carrier and dispersant and / or complexing agent. The two enzymes, such as protease and amylase, however, must be added separately in time, since the protease affects the effect of amylase negative.

In einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung ist vorgesehen, dass zusätzlich ein fettspaltendes Enzym und/oder ein Tensid zugegeben werden. Dabei wird als fettspaltendes Enzym beispielsweise Lipase hinzugegeben und als Tensid ein nicht-ionisches Tensid zur Verbesserung der Dispergierung. Dabei kann die Zugabe des Tensids gleichzeitig mit einer anderen Komponente oder zeitlich getrennt erfolgen.In a preferred embodiment it is provided that additionally a fat-splitting enzyme and / or a surfactant are added. In this case, for example, lipase is added as fat-splitting enzyme and a nonionic surfactant as surfactant for improving the dispersion. In this case, the addition of the surfactant can be carried out simultaneously with another component or separated in time.

In einer weiteren, bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist ein Programmschritt "Zwischenspülen" vorgesehen, in dem Alkaliträger und ein Dispergierstoff zugegeben werden. Die Dosierung kann gleichzeitig oder zeitlich voneinander getrennt erfolgen. Dabei erlaubt die Zugabe von Alkaliträger in dem Programmschritt "Zwischenspülen" eine Vorbereitung für Entfernung von Teeschmutz mittels einer Bleiche, da für einen optimalen Abtrag von Teeschmutz ein bestimmter PH-Wert erreicht werden muss.In a further preferred embodiment, a program step "intermediate rinsing" is provided in which alkali carriers and a dispersant are added. The dosage can be done simultaneously or separately. The addition of alkali carriers in the program step "intermediate rinse" allows a preparation for removal of Teeschmutz by means of a bleach, since for optimum removal of Teeschmutz a certain pH must be achieved.

Schließlich ist gemäß der Erfindung ein Programmschritt "Klarspülen" vorgesehen, in dem ein Dispergier- und/oder Komplexierstoff, ein Bleichmittel, ein Bleichaktivator und ein Tensid dazugegeben werden. Dabei wird durch die Zugabe des Dispergier- und/oder Komplexierstoffes, durch Komplexbildung die Wasserhärte reduziert und Metall-lonen ebenfalls komplexiert, was beispielsweise den Abtrag von bspw. Teeschmutz erleichtert. Die Dosierung des Dispergier- und/oder Komplexierstoffes kann gleichzeitig oder zeitlich voneinander getrennt von anderen Komponenten erfolgen. Durch die Zugabe von einem Bleichmittel, wie beispielsweise Wasserstoffperoxid wird die Entfernung von Teeschmutz bzw. Teehaut erreicht. Die Zugabe von Bleichmitteln erfolgt dabei getrennt von Enzymen, bevorzugt im letzten Programmschritt. Abgesehen von der Zugabe von Enzymen, kann das Bleichmittel gleichzeitig mit jeder anderen Komponente zusammen zudosiert werden.Finally, according to the invention, a program step "rinsing" is provided in which a dispersing and / or complexing agent, a bleaching agent, a bleach activator and a surfactant are added thereto. In this case, the water hardness is reduced by the addition of the dispersing and / or Komplexierstoffes, by complex formation and metal ions also complexed, which facilitates, for example, the removal of, for example. Teeschmutz. The metering of the dispersing and / or complexing agent can be carried out simultaneously or temporally separated from other components. The addition of a bleach, such as hydrogen peroxide, achieves the removal of tea soil or tea skin. The addition of bleaching agents is carried out separately from enzymes, preferably in the last program step. Apart from the addition of enzymes, the bleach can be dosed simultaneously with any other component.

Der Bleichaktivator unterstützt dabei die Bleichwirkung von Wasserstoffperoxid bei Temperaturen von unterhalb von 80°C, so dass eine optimale Bleichwirkung durch Wasserstoffperoxid als Bleichmittel auch bei den während eines Betriebs einer Geschirrspülmaschine üblichen Temperaturen möglich ist. Die Dosierung des Bleichaktivators kann mit der Dosierung des Bleichmittels zusammen erfolgen oder zeitlich versetzt. Die Zugabe eines Tensids, beispielsweise eines nicht-ionischen Tensids bewirkt eine Klarspülwirkung durch Herabsetzung der Oberflächenspannung des Wassers. Die Dosierung dieser Komponente kann gleichzeitig mit einer anderen Komponente oder zeitlich versetzt erfolgen.The bleach activator thereby supports the bleaching action of hydrogen peroxide at temperatures below 80 ° C., so that optimum bleaching action by hydrogen peroxide as bleaching agent is also possible with the temperatures customary during operation of a dishwashing machine. The dosage of bleach activator can be done together with the dosage of the bleaching agent or offset in time. The addition of a surfactant such as a nonionic surfactant causes a rinse effect by lowering the surface tension of the water. The dosage of this component can be done simultaneously with another component or offset in time.

Vorzugsweise ist dabei vorgesehen, dass im Programmschritt "Klarspülen" ein Alkaliträger zugegeben wird. Bei dem Alkaliträger kann es sich um Natronlauge handeln, wobei die Zugabe von Natronlauge durch Anpassung des PH-Wertes eine verbesserte Wirkung von Bleichmitteln zur Entfernung von z.B. Teeschmutz bewirkt.It is preferably provided that in the program step "rinsing" an alkali carrier is added. The alkali carrier may be caustic soda, with the addition of sodium hydroxide effecting an improved effect of bleaching agents for the removal of, for example, tea dirt by adjusting the pH.

In einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung des Verfahrens ist vorgesehen, dass ein Programmschritt Desinfizieren vorgesehen ist. Dies erlaubt es, der Bildung von unangenehmen Gerüchen entgegenzuwirken, die entstehen können, wenn Geschirr tagelang in einer Geschirrspülmaschine gesammelt wird. Ursache sind die Abbauprodukte von Mikroorganismen, die sich in einer Geschirrspülmaschine bilden. Dies ist insbesondere bei hohen Temperaturen, wie im Sommer, der Fall.In a preferred embodiment of the method it is provided that a program step disinfecting is provided. This makes it possible to counteract the formation of unpleasant odors, which can occur when dishes are collected for days in a dishwasher. Cause are the degradation products of microorganisms that form in a dishwasher. This is the case especially at high temperatures, as in summer.

Dabei ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass eine biozidwirkende Flüssigkeit zugegeben wird. Dabei kann es sich um Biozide gegen Bakterien (Bakterizide), gegen Pilze (Fungizide), gegen Keime (Mikrobizide), gegen Viren (Viruzide) und auch gegen Algen (Algizide) handeln, die die Ansiedlung und eventuelle Biofilmbildung entgegenwirken und so unangenehme Geruchsentwicklungen während längerer Standzeiten zu unterbinden.It is preferably provided that a biocidal fluid is added. These may be biocides against bacteria (bactericides), against fungi (fungicides), against germs (microbicides), against viruses (virucides) and also against algae (algicides), which counteract the colonization and possible biofilm formation and thus unpleasant odor developments during to prevent longer service life.

Schließlich kann bevorzugt vorgesehen sein, dass in wenigstens einem Programmschritt ein Korrosionsschutzmittel, insbesondere ein Glasschutzkorrosionsschutzmittel zugegeben wird, dass der Glaskorrosion entgegenwirkt. Dabei ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass das Korrosionsschutzmittel wenigstens Zinksalz enthält. Es können jedoch auch andere, geeignete Korrosionsschutzmittel Verwendung finden.Finally, it can preferably be provided that in at least one program step, a corrosion protection agent, in particular a glass protection corrosion protection agent is added that counteracts the glass corrosion. It is preferably provided that the corrosion inhibitor contains at least zinc salt. However, other suitable corrosion inhibitors can be used.

Die Zugabe der Korrosionsschutzmittel erfolgt bevorzugt in einem Programmschritt Reinigen und/oder Klarspülen, kann jedoch auch während anderer Programmschritte erfolgen, wie bspw. während eines Zwischenspülschritis. Dabei ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass die Zugabe des Korrosionsschutzmittels zeitlich beabstandet zur Erhöhung des pH-Wertes, insbesondere durch Zugabe von Natronlauge, und/oder zur Zugabe von wenigstens einem Enzym und/oder zur Zugabe eines Komplexierstoffs erfolgt.The addition of the corrosion inhibitors is preferably carried out in a program step cleaning and / or rinsing, but can also take place during other program steps, such as. During a Zwischenspülschritis. In this case, it is preferably provided that the addition of the corrosion inhibitor takes place temporally spaced to increase the pH, in particular by adding sodium hydroxide, and / or for the addition of at least one enzyme and / or for addition of a complexing agent.

Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels erläutert. Es zeigt die einzige Figur:

  • eine schematische Darstellung eines Temperaturprofils eines Spülprogrammes mit einer Vielzahl von Dosierungspunkten.
In the following the invention will be explained with reference to an embodiment. It shows the only figure:
  • a schematic representation of a temperature profile of a wash program with a variety of dosing points.

Dargestellt ist ein Temperaturverlauf eines normalen Spülprogrammes einer Haushalts-Geschirrspülmaschine mit den Schritten "Vorspülen", bei dem Spülflotte ohne Aufheizung umgewälzt wird, "Reinigen", bei dem die Spülflotte bis auf ca. 50°C aufgeheizt wird und sich nach Waschphase anschließt, einen "Zwischenspulschritt', in dem Spülflotte ohne aufheizen umgewälzt wird, so wie einen "Klarspülschritt", in dem die Spülflotte bis auf ca. 65°C aufgeheizt wird.Shown is a temperature profile of a normal dishwashing program of a household dishwasher with the steps "prewash", is circulated in the wash liquor without heating, "cleaning" in which the wash liquor is heated to about 50 ° C and adjoins after washing phase, a "Intermediate pulse step", in which rinsing liquor is circulated without heating up, as well as a "final rinse step", in which the rinsing liquor is heated up to about 65 ° C.

Während des Vorspülens wird gemäß dem Ausführungsbeispiels Natronlauge als Alkaliträger zusammen mit einem Dipergier- und/oder Komplexierstoff in einem Schritt 1 zugegeben, um so ein Aufquellen von Anschmutzungen zu erreichen, so dass die Reinigungswirkung von nachfolgenden Enzymen verbessert ist und die Wasserhärte beeinflussende Erdalkaliionen komplexiert werden.During the pre-rinsing, according to the embodiment, caustic soda is added as an alkali carrier together with a dispersing and / or complexing agent in a step 1 so as to cause swelling so that the cleaning effect of subsequent enzymes is improved and alkaline earth metal ions affecting water hardness are complexed ,

Anschließend erfolgt das Reinigen, wobei zu Beginn das Enzym Amylase, zur Zersetzung von Stärkeverbindungen und/oder Polysachariden (Zuckerverbindung) in Schritt 2 zugegeben wird. Zeitlich versetzt, bspw. ca. 5 min später wird, das Enzym Protease in Schritt 3 zugegeben, um Proteine und/oder Peptide (Eiweißverbindungen) zu zersetzen.Subsequently, the cleaning is carried out, wherein at the beginning the enzyme amylase, for the decomposition of starch compounds and / or polysaccharides (sugar compound) in step 2 is added. Time-shifted, for example, about 5 min later, the enzyme protease is added in step 3 in order to decompose proteins and / or peptides (protein compounds).

Schließlich wird als letztes in einem Schritt 4 bei einer Temperatur von ca. 50°C als Alkaliträger Natronlauge zugegeben, sodass sich der PH-Wert der Spülflotte erhöht, was die Wirkung von Enzymen während der folgenden Nachwaschphase verbessert.Finally, sodium hydroxide solution is added as the last step in a step 4 at a temperature of about 50 ° C as an alkali carrier, so that the pH of the wash liquor increases, which improves the effect of enzymes during the subsequent Nachwaschphase.

Es folgt ein Zwischenspülen, bei dem Spülflotte ohne Aufheizen umgewälzt wird.This is followed by intermediate rinsing in which rinsing water is circulated without heating up.

Als letzter Schritt erfolgt ein Klarspülen, bei dem die Spülflotte bis auf ca. 85°C aufgeheizt wird. In einem Schritt 5 wird ein Dispergier- und/oder Komplexierstoff zugegeben, um Ionen, insbesondere Erdalkaliionen, zu komplexieren und zugleich durch diese Komplexierung von Metall-lonen das Ablösen von Schmutz zu erleichtern, wie beispielsweise Teeanschmutzungen. Unmittelbar nachfolgend werden in einem Schritt 6 Wasserstoffperoxid als Bleichmittel sowie in einem Schritt 7 ein Bleichaktivator zugegeben, so dass die optimale Wirkung von Wasserstoffperoxid als Bleichmittel auch bei Temperaturen unterhalb von 80°C gegeben ist. Schließlich wird in einem Schritt 8 ein nicht-ionisches Tensid hinzugegeben, um durch Herabsetzung der Oberflächenspannung einen rückstandsfreien Trocknungsprozess zu gewährleisten, so dass beispielsweise auf Gläsern keine Trockenränder zurück bleiben.The last step is a rinse, in which the rinse liquor is heated to about 85 ° C. In a step 5, a dispersing and / or complexing agent is added in order to complex ions, in particular alkaline earth ions, and at the same time to facilitate the detachment of dirt by this complexation of metal ions, for example tea stains. Immediately below, in a step 6, hydrogen peroxide as a bleaching agent and in a step 7 a bleach activator are added, so that the optimum effect of hydrogen peroxide as a bleaching agent is also given at temperatures below 80 ° C. Finally, in a step 8, a nonionic surfactant is added to reduce the surface tension to ensure a residue-free drying process, so that, for example, no dry edges remain on glasses.

Anschließend erfolgt der Trocknungsprozess des Geschirrs.Subsequently, the drying process of the dishes takes place.

Als Programmschritt eines Reinigerprogramms oder auch als Einzelschritt von einer Bedienperson manuell ausgelöst kann eine biozidwirkende Flüssigkeit zugegeben werden. Insbesondere können Biozide gegen Bakterien (Bakterizide), gegen Pilze (Fungizide), gegen Keime (Mikrobizide), gegen Viren (Viruzide) und auch gegen Algen (Algizide) zugegeben werden, um so unangenehme Geruchsentwicklungen während längerer Standzeiten zu unterbinden.As a program step of a cleaning program or as a single step manually triggered by an operator, a biocidal fluid may be added. In particular, biocides can be added against bacteria (bactericides), against fungi (fungicides), against germs (microbicides), against viruses (virucides) and also against algae (algicides) in order to prevent unpleasant odors during longer periods of use.

Es gibt verschiedene Möglichkeiten der Dosierung. Bspw. kann die Zugabe am Ende des Klarspülganges erfolgen, um das Wasser, das im Sumpf oder in den Leitungen verbleibt, zu desinfizieren. So kann die Bildung von Biofilme verhindert werden. Alternativ kann ein extra Hygienespülprogramm vorgesehen sein, dass in vorgegebenen Intervallen automatisch ausgeführt oder bei Bedarf manuell von einer Bedienperson ausgelöst wird. Während des Hygieneprogramms werden ca. 31 Wasser eingefüllt und es wird ausreichend biozidwirkender Wirkstoff zugegeben. Dann wird die den biozidwirkenden Wirkstoff enthaltende Flotte umgewälzt. Zusätzlich können noch andere Substanzen zur Wirkungsverbesserung hin zu gegeben werden, wie z.B. Dispergier- und Komplexierstoffe. Ergänzend kann eine Umwälzpumpe mit nur reduzierter Drehzahl betrieben werden, wobei zugleich eine Wasserweiche geschlossen ist, so dass Spülflotte nur in geringem Umfang aus Sprüharmen austritt. So werden nur die Leitungen und der Pumpensumpf gereinigt.There are different ways of dosing. For example. the addition may be made at the end of the rinse cycle to disinfect the water remaining in the sump or in the lines. Thus, the formation of biofilms can be prevented. Alternatively, an extra Hygienespülprogramm be provided that automatically executed at predetermined intervals or manually triggered if necessary by an operator. During the hygiene program, about 31 water are filled and sufficient biocidal active ingredient is added. Then, the liquor containing the biocidal drug is circulated. In addition, other substances may be added to improve the effects, e.g. Dispersing and complexing agents. In addition, a circulation pump can be operated with only reduced speed, wherein at the same time a water switch is closed, so that wash liquor exits only to a small extent from spray arms. So only the pipes and the pump sump are cleaned.

Des weiteren kann in wenigstens einem Programmschritt ein Korrosionsschutzmittel, insbesondere ein Glasschutzkorrosionsschutzmittel zugegeben wird, dass der Glaskorrosion entgegenwirkt, das bspw. Zinksalz enthält.Furthermore, in at least one program step, a corrosion protection agent, in particular a glass protection corrosion protection agent, can be added which counteracts glass corrosion, which contains, for example, zinc salt.

Die Zugabe der Korrosionsschutzmittel erfolgt in einem Programmschritt Reinigen und/oder Klarspülen, oder auch während eines anderen Programmschritts, wie bspw. während eines Zwischenspülschritts. Die Zugabe des Korrosionsschutzmittels erfolgt zeitlich beabstandet zur Erhöhung des pH-Wertes, insbesondere durch Zugabe von Natronlauge, und/oder zur Zugabe von wenigstens einem Enzym und/oder zur Zugabe eines Komplexierstoffs.The addition of the corrosion inhibitors is carried out in a program step cleaning and / or rinsing, or even during another program step, such as. During an intermediate rinse step. The addition of the anticorrosive agent takes place temporally spaced to increase the pH, in particular by adding Sodium hydroxide, and / or for the addition of at least one enzyme and / or for the addition of a complexing agent.
