Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for dosing a dishwashing detergent in a dishwasher. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a metering device for a dishwasher. Moreover, the present invention relates to a multi-component dishwashing composition.
- rinsing agents have been developed which have a content of softener that can control the water hardness.
- the use of such a detergent should replace an ion exchanger or at least make it unnecessary to replenish the regenerating salt regularly. This increases the comfort of use for the user.
- a dishwasher is operated by means of wash programs, wherein a wash program represents a sequence of different wash cycles. At the end of a wash program, a rinse cycle often takes place. In this case, a separate rinse aid is added, which must be replenished by the user regularly. In order to make this easier for the user, dishwashing detergents which contain a proportion of rinse aid have also been developed.
- dishwashing detergents for example, in the form of detergent tabs, which are prefabricated and should contain just the right amount of the various substances, but in very different conditions
- AH-in-one dishwashing detergents
- the hardness of the water, a selected washing program, etc., and a detergent tab must cover all possible scenarios, correspondingly high quantities of each substance are selected
- over-use of rinsing agents may unnecessarily burden the environment in this case, and such rinse-aid tabs are designed to dissolve slowly during a rinse cycle to ensure a sufficient amount of each substance at all times for example, that from the beginning of Klarspü ler is released, although this is needed only at the end of the wash program.
- an object of the present invention is to achieve a simplified and optimized feeding of different components of a dishwashing detergent.
- a method for dosing a dishwashing detergent in a dishwasher in particular a household dishwasher, is proposed. This is set up for rinsing dishes arranged in a rinsing chamber by means of a rinsing liquor.
- the dishwasher has a metering device with at least three metering units. Each of the at least three metering units is set up to receive one component each of a multi-component dishwashing detergent. The components are separated from each other.
- the procedure includes the steps: Metering a detergent component into the rinsing liquor through a first dosing unit of the at least three dosing units for at least one detergent dosing time;
- a rinse aid component into the rinsing liquor through a third dosing unit of the at least three dosing units for at least one rinse aid dosing time.
- This method advantageously makes it possible to meter the components of a dishwashing detergent individually, separated according to their function, into the washing liquor.
- At least three components are provided: a cleaner component, a softener component and a rinse aid component.
- the cleaner component fulfills the function of a cleaning agent.
- the softener component fulfills the function of a water softener.
- the rinse aid component fulfills the function of a rinse aid. It is also possible to dose further functional components with further metering units to at least one corresponding component metering time. It is particularly possible with this method to dose the components independently and at optimal times. This makes it possible to achieve an optimal dishwashing result.
- metered addition means that an amount of the relevant component is added by the corresponding metering unit into the washing liquor.
- Metering can also be referred to as dosing or dispensing.
- all components are water-soluble and dissolve in the wash liquor, so that after a short time and with good mixing of the wash liquor, a uniform concentration of the component in the wash liquor can be present.
- the metering units are each set up for metering the component.
- dosing in particular comprises measuring an amount of the respective component.
- a liquid component can be metered, for example, by means of a pump, a valve or a syringe.
- a solid component can be metered for example by means of a screw conveyor.
- the rinsing liquor can also be referred to as rinsing liquid.
- Components of the rinsing liquor are, for example, water, a quantity of cleaner component, a quantity of softener component, a quantity of rinse aid component and the dirt particles dissolved by the items to be washed.
- the metered addition of the various components through the various metering units can be carried out directly in the washing chamber. Alternatively, the metered addition into a water supply or other, with the rinsing water in contact standing water-bearing areas of the dishwasher, such as a supply line to the spray arms done. It is possible that the different metering units are arranged in different areas of the dishwasher and meter in different areas.
- the metered addition of the cleaner component, the softener component and / or the rinse aid component takes place as a function of at least one operating parameter of the dishwasher.
- the at least one operating parameter of the dishwasher can be a rinsing program, a user input, a rinsing time, a water hardness of a water supplied to the dishwasher, a volume of the water supplied to the dishwasher, a contamination the rinsing liquor, a pH of the rinsing liquor, a temperature of the rinsing liquor, a stain and / or amount of arranged in the rinsing chamber of the dishwasher items, a material of the arranged in the rinsing chamber items, an amount of in the cleaner component, the softener Component and / or the rinse aid component contained phosphate and / or a combination thereof.
- the operating conditions may vary from one wash program to another or from one wash cycle to the next wash cycle.
- the operating conditions may also change during a rinse cycle.
- any parameter which has an influence on the rinsing result is understood as an operating parameter of the dishwasher.
- the rinse program is, for example, a sequence of rinse cycles, such as a pre-rinse, a main rinse, a rinse, and / or a dry.
- a rinse program may also include only one rinse cycle.
