Definitions
- the present application relates to a device for dosing detergent, in particular powder detergent and / or liquid detergent, a container for holding and dosing powder detergent, a container for holding and dosing liquid detergent, and a system comprising a device for dosing detergent.
- the correct dosage is important when washing. Users often find it difficult to find the correct dosage of detergent for the laundry to be washed.
- the degree of dosing does not necessarily only depend on the degree of soiling of the laundry. Different detergents also have to be used differently and the dosage depends on other factors such as the load of the washing machine drum and the water hardness. However, it is difficult for the user to estimate how many kilograms his laundry weighs. Usually this is only roughly estimated based on the filling of the washing machine drum. Furthermore, it is difficult for the user to find out what water hardness the water in the pipes has.
- the detergent is often not dosed correctly. If the user uses too much detergent for a small load, residues of it can remain in clothing. This can leave lye residues and residues from the detergent in the fibers of the laundry. This can cause skin irritation by wearing this garment afterwards. Especially for allergy sufferers and Atopic dermatitis is a disadvantage. If there is not enough detergent for a full load, lime stains can form or the detergent will not distribute itself correctly, resulting in an unsatisfactory washing result. For example, clothing, bed sheets or other items of laundry can turn gray or harden if lime residues remain in the fibers. Overdosing or underdosing of the detergent should therefore be avoided.
- Manual dosing aids for example cups with markings, are known from the prior art, which are provided by the various washing machine manufacturers together with their product. The user can then dose the amount of detergent based on self-determined or estimated quantities such as the amount of laundry, degree of hardness of the water and degree of soiling.
- An automatic dosing system firmly integrated in the washing machine has many advantages but also disadvantages.
- the greatest advantage is that the detergent does not have to be re-filled by the user with every wash and that it is not necessary to re-estimate which dosage is required for the respective wash load. Instead, the user can pour a large amount of detergent, for example an entire bottle of a commercially available detergent, into the detergent compartments of a washing machine and the machine automatically uses the detergent depending on the load, type of textile or degree of soiling of the laundry. This determines the dosage of the detergent precisely and completely automatically, so that incorrect dosage is avoided.
- the washing machine can also adjust the water and electricity consumption at the same time, so that the water and energy consumption is also optimized.
- Automatic dosing is environmentally friendly, as less detergent residues can get into the waste water by avoiding overdosing of detergent.
- the automatic dosing systems known from the prior art are mostly integrated into the washing machine, so that these washing machines with integrated dosing are more expensive to purchase.
- the automatic metering systems known from the prior art have to be cleaned, for example due to permanently installed hose lines.
- the flow measurement must be determined in the automatic metering systems known from the prior art, for which an expensive sensor system, for example a platinum sensor, is used. Pumps for dosing are also used.
- the known dosing systems are aimed at liquid detergents, ie they only allow dosing of liquid detergents and the dosing of powder detergents is not possible with these dosing systems.
- powder detergents do not contain any preservatives.
- Heavy-duty detergents in powder form contain bleaches that remove bleachable stains, ensure white laundry and also act against germs at higher temperatures.

- the dosing device can correctly dose the powder detergent. This is made possible by the metering device being driven by the drive device, which is also arranged in the metering device receiving area.
- Exchangeable components mean that the components are designed as disposable or disposable items.
- the first container with powder detergent, the dosing device for dosing the powder detergent can be replaced.
- the first container can be connected to the metering device or liquid detergent can be connected. This is advantageous since the device for dosing detergent, in particular the first receiving area and the second receiving area described later, does not come into contact with the detergent. So the device is not contaminated with detergent and on a complex Cleaning or decalcification of the device and / or its individual components can be dispensed with.
- the detergent can be introduced through the device into a container, preferably into a cup, or directly into the detergent chamber of a commercial washing machine, in a correct dosage. This can take place depending on the degree of soiling of the laundry, the water hardness and / or the amount of laundry.
- the detergent can be fed from the first container into the container and filled into the detergent compartments of a washing machine in a correct dosage. This can be done manually by the user then filling the detergent filled into the container or cup into the detergent chamber of a commercially available washing machine.
- the device for metering detergent is connected or connectable to a washing machine in such a way or is integrated in the washing machine so that the detergent chambers are filled automatically with the detergent previously metered by the device.
- the device is positioned immediately above or adjacent to or adjacent to the detergent chamber or the opened powder and liquid detergent compartment of a commercially available washing machine, so that the powder and / or liquid detergent correctly dosed by means of the device into the detergent chamber or into the powder and / or liquid detergent compartment of the washing machine can be filled.
- the dosing device has a dosing setting for dosing detergent, which depends on a determined weight of a laundry to be washed.
- the amount of detergent dosed from the first container can be dependent on the weight of the laundry to be washed.
- the weight of the laundry can be determined, for example, using a balance, as described later.
- the scale can be coupled to the device for dosing detergent such that the weight is transmitted to a control unit, which can be part of the device, which in turn transmits the dosing of the detergent from the first container based on the latter Weight controls.
- the device can be designed, as described later, in order to meter the detergent automatically, for example depending on the degree of soiling of the laundry, the water hardness and / or the amount of laundry.
- the detergent dosing device can be connected or connected to the washing machine.
- the device for dosing detergent is not connected to the washing machine or permanently installed, but is set up or positioned separately from the washing machine, for example in its vicinity.
- the device can be purchased separately from the washing machine and the device can be compatible with all washing machines available on the market.
- the dosage of detergent can thus advantageously be carried out for all washing machines available on the market.
- the device for dosing detergent according to the invention thus enables correct, simplified and inexpensive dosing of detergent, in particular powder detergent and / or liquid detergent of various types, for example mild detergent, normal detergent, fabric softener, wool detergent, detergent for black clothes, flygia detergent or color detergent. Because all components of the detergent dosing device are interchangeable, dosing of different detergents, i.e. , of powder detergents and / or liquid detergents from different animal feeders, with one and the same device. Contamination of different detergents is avoided.

- the metering device and the first container are not connected to one another and are introduced and / or removed from the first receiving area separately from one another.
- the at least one first receiving area is preferably designed to receive a first container for a powder detergent.
- the metering device preferably comprises a screw conveyor and a screw conveyor housing, the screw conveyor, preferably in its full length, being inserted into the screw conveyor housing and / or being rotatably arranged or supported therein, so that the screw conveyor and the screw conveyor housing extend around a common screw conveyor longitudinal axis.
- the metering device can be configured as a screw conveyor with a screw conveyor and a screw housing.
- the screw conveyor can be designed as a shaft, around which one or more helically wound passages are wound in the form of flat sheets and / or rubber flaps or wings, which essentially extend in the form of a screw thread transversely away from the longitudinal axis of the screw conveyor.
- the screw conveyor is preferably designed as a rigid screw conveyor.
- the screw conveyor is designed as a flexible, in particular flexible, screw.
- the worm thread can either be firmly connected to the shaft, for example welded, or it can be manufactured or manufactured in one part with the shaft.
- the screw conveyor preferably comprises a continuous, continuous screw thread, which extends between the opposite ends of the screw conveyor along the longitudinal axis of the screw conveyor. This enables in particular the transportation of powder detergent by means of the screw conveyor along its longitudinal axis.

- a certain amount of powder can be conveyed with each rotation of the screw conveyor, so that the dosage of the powder detergent can be determined by the number of (partial) revolutions.
- This enables precise and simplified metering of the powder detergent, which can be done automatically, for example controlled by a control or regulating unit, or manually.
- the screw conveyor housing preferably has an inlet with an inlet opening and an outlet with an outlet opening.
- the inlet and the outlet are preferably arranged on opposite sides in the screw conveyor housing, as seen transversely to the longitudinal axis of the screw conveyor.
- Powder detergent can be guided from the first container into the interior of the screw conveyor housing through the inlet opening into the inlet, in order to be taken up by one or more helical winding threads of the screw conveyor.
- the device for dosing detergent can comprise a vibrating device with which the first container or its contents can be set in a vibrating motion. This enables the powder detergent to be almost completely passed out of the first container through the inlet opening into the inner screw conveyor housing, especially if that Powder detergent does not slip by itself and is to be guided into the interior of the screw conveyor housing by gravity, for example.
- the vibrating device can preferably be arranged in or corresponding to the first receiving area.
- the powder washing agent is conveyed by the screw conveyor substantially along the longitudinal axis of the screw conveyor after it has entered the interior of the screw conveyor housing and can exit through the outlet opening of the outlet.
- the outlet being arranged on an opposite side of the inlet as seen transversely to the longitudinal axis of the screw conveyor, the powder detergent can emerge from the screw housing when the inlet is reached.
- the screw conveyor has a screw flank diameter, i.e. an outer diameter transverse to the longitudinal direction of the screw, which is in a range of about 20 to 40 mm.

If the length of the screw conveyor is reduced, the powder detergent may be bridged in the one or more helically wound passages, so that the inlet opening is blocked and no further powder detergent can be introduced through the inlet opening. The bridging can occur especially when the powder detergent by gravity through the inlet opening into the screw conveyor housing.
- Dimensioning the length and the screw flank diameter of the screw conveyor in the value ranges described above enables a delivery rate of powder detergent in the range of approximately 5 to 10 g per revolution of the screw conveyor (e.g. of approximately 8.8 g per revolution).
- the number of revolutions (or the angle of rotation around the longitudinal axis) allows the desired amount of powder detergent to be passed through the outlet of the screw conveyor housing and thus out of the screw conveyor housing. This enables a precise dosage of the powder detergent.
