Description

A WASHER COMPRISING AN AUTOMATIC DOSING UNIT
The present invention relates to a washer comprising an automatic dosing unit.
The use of liquid cleaning agent in washers like washing machines and laundry washer/dryers is becoming widespread. Accordingly, in order to provide ease of utilization, automatic dosing units are developed for the liquid cleaning agent to be stored in a receptacle and to be delivered into the wash water controllably depending on the requirement of the washing program. Determining the level and the type of the liquid cleaning agents filled into the receptacles is one of the desired features. One of the methods used to this end is to measure the conductivity of the liquids. The type can be determined by benefiting from the difference between the conductivity coefficients of liquids of different types, and the level can be determined according to the current conducted. In systems used for determining the level and type, liquid cleaning agents drying and creating layers of dried agents on the receptacle walls may create false conductivity signals and disrupt the system. Moreover, air entrapped in the receptacle while transferring the liquid cleaning agents from the detergent dispenser to the closed receptacles, prevents the cleaning agents from being filled in. Although the user fills in the liquid cleaning agent, dosing process cannot be performed since the cleaning agent cannot be delivered to the receptacles due to air entrapped.
In the Patent Application No. CN102535112, a washing machine is disclosed, wherein the cleaning agent in the receptacle is detected.
In the Patent Application No. WO2012089712, a washing machine is disclosed, wherein the cleaning agent dispenser is open to the atmospheric pressure.
The aim of the present invention is the realization of a washer wherein the level and the type of the liquid cleaning agent is effectively determined.
The washer realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises at least one barrier that is situated in the dosage receptacle, that divides the dosage receptacle into at least two and that extends downwards from between the pins that measure the level and the type.
In the washer of the present invention, a barrier extending downwards from the ceiling of the receptacle is provided in the receptacle. The barrier is situated between the pins that measure the level and the type and increases the distance between the two pins. Thus, the magnitude of the false conductivity signal generated by the dried cleaning agent on the receptacle walls is decreased and the pins are prevented from detecting that the receptacle is full while it is empty. By means of the barrier, the dried layer between the pins is interrupted.
In an embodiment of the present invention, an opening allowing the passage of the liquids is arranged between the base of the dosing unit receptacle and the barrier.
In an embodiment of the present invention, a discharge hole opening into the housing is provided on the dosage receptacle. The air entrapped in the dosage receptacle during the flow of the cleaning agent from the dispenser to the dosage receptacle, is discharged by means of the discharge hole. Thus, the problem of the liquid cleaning agent not flowing from the dispenser to the dosage receptacle due to air entrapped is solved. Furthermore, with the discharge hole opening to the housing, the excess liquid agent flowed into the dosage receptacle is enabled to flow to the lower base of the housing and flushed with water from here and mixed with wash water. Thus, cleaning agents are not wasted.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the discharge hole opening to the housing is positioned so as to be at a higher level than the dispenser. Excess liquid cleaning agent flow into the dosage receptacle is prevented by means of the discharge hole arranged at a level higher than the liquid cleaning agents filled into the dispenser.
In an embodiment of the present invention, a channel is provided, extending upwards from the upper side of the dosage receptacle. By positioning the discharge hole at the end of the channel, the discharge hole is enabled to be at a level higher than the maximum height of the liquid cleaning agents filled into the dispenser. Thus, excess cleaning agent flow into the receptacle is prevented and no overflowing is allowed.
The washer of the present invention is suitable for being used as a washing machine, a dishwasher or a laundry washer/dryer.
In the washer of the present invention, by means of the barrier situated in the dosage receptacle, the conductivity signal that may be generated by the dried and solidified liquid cleaning agent is prevented and the level measurement is enabled to be performed securely. By means of the discharge hole opening into the housing and situated at a level higher than the height of the dispenser, the liquids inside the dispenser flow into the dosage receptacle in a continuous manner and any overflowing from the discharge hole is prevented.
The washer realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention is illustrated in the attached figures, where:

In the washer (1), the pins (10) disposed in the dosage receptacle (7) are used for determining the level of the stored liquid cleaning agents and the type of the liquid cleaning agents in different divisions (6). The circuit is completed with the pins (10) contacting the liquids and current passes through the pins (10) depending on the conductivity of the liquids. When the level of the liquids falls below a certain value, the contact between the liquids and the pins (10) is interrupted and the user is warned. Different types of liquid cleaning agents, for example liquid detergent and softener, have different conductivity coefficients and thus the type of liquid present in the dosage receptacle (7) can be determined. The washer (1), furthermore, comprises pin housings (11) that are arranged on the dosage receptacle (7) and wherein the pins (10) are mounted.
The washer (1) of the present invention comprises at least one barrier (12) that is situated in the dosage receptacle (7), that divides the dosage receptacle (7) into at least two and that extends from the ceiling of the dosage receptacle (7) towards the base of the dosage receptacle (7) by separating the pins (10) from each other.
