Definitions

  • the invention relates to a storage container and a metering device for metering a detergent or a washing or rinsing additive in a water-bearing household appliance.
  • Dosing devices in washing machines allow precise dosing of the detergent, which can be automatically adapted to the size and type of laundry load and, if necessary, also to the degree of soiling, depending on the washing program set.
  • the user of a washing machine equipped with such a metering device only needs to place one or more storage containers in a receiving device of the washing machine and no longer needs to worry about the metering.
  • the EP 2 003 237 A1 describes a stop device with which the detergent drawer can be fixed in the open position.
  • the metering device described there comprises a receiving device arranged in the washing machine, into which two storage containers with detergent can be inserted.
  • the storage containers are either pushed into the receiving device like a drawer or inserted into a drawer-like compartment, which is then pushed into the receiving device.
  • a coupling device is provided which consists of a hollow mandrel on the device side and a piston on the container side. When the storage container is pushed into the receiving device, the hollow mandrel is pushed into a tubular opening in the storage container and pushes the piston back in order to provide a flow for the detergent from the storage container into the washing machine.
  • the disadvantage of such an arrangement is that the storage container is either not held securely enough in the receiving device or is too tight and can only be pulled out with difficulty.
  • the former can lead to the storage container being inadvertently transported partially out of the receiving device, for example due to vibrations during a spin cycle. This can lead to detergent flowing out of the storage container and permanently contaminating the coupling device.
  • the invention thus poses the problem of providing a storage container and a metering device which ensure reliable coupling between the storage container in a water-carrying household appliance. At the same time, easy removal of the storage container should be made possible.
  • the storage container according to the invention has a housing in which a liquid such as detergent or washing or rinsing additive is or can be filled. So it forms a kind of cartridge for holding the liquid.
  • the housing is designed such that it can be moved in an insertion direction in order to insert it into a receiving device of a water-bearing household appliance.
  • the water-carrying household appliance can in particular be a dishwasher or a washing machine.
  • a latching element is also provided on the housing, which is designed to form a latching connection when the housing is pushed into the receiving device with a counter-locking element of the household appliance arranged in the receiving device, which detachably fixes the housing in the receiving device.
  • the latching element is preferably an elevation which engages in a recess serving as a latching counter element in a wall of the receiving device in order to produce the latching connection.
  • a pressure actuator can be provided in a preferred embodiment which releases the elevation when a pressure force is exerted, for example in that the wall or a wall section with the recess is bent by the pressure force.
  • a container-side coupling element is provided on the housing of the storage container, which is designed to be coupled to a coupling device with the domestic appliance with a receptacle-side coupling element arranged in the receiving device in such a way that the additive can flow into the domestic appliance via the coupling device.
  • the coupling device is thus formed from the container-side coupling element and the receiving-side coupling element after the housing of the storage container has been pushed into the receiving device and the latching connection has been formed.
  • the container-side coupling element has a piston and the receiving-side coupling element has a hollow mandrel.
  • the piston rests on the hollow mandrel and is moved into the Housing pressed. So the piston moves from a closed position to an open position.
  • the piston is arranged in a raw section of the housing.
  • a flow of the liquid from the housing through the raw section to the household appliance is opened.
  • the flow is preferably formed by slots or depressions formed on an inner wall of the raw section.
  • the liquid preferably flows through the hollow mandrel.
  • the piston closes the flow of liquid out of the housing.
  • the piston moves back into the closed position, for example due to a pretensioned spring, so that the flow is closed again.
  • the piston is therefore preferably connected in the housing to a spring or another suitable return element which presses the piston from the open position into the closed position.
  • the coupling element on the container side preferably also has an annular seal which, in the closed position of the piston, additionally seals the flow of liquid out of the housing.
  • the housing has a cross-sectional outline in a cross-sectional plane parallel to the insertion direction, the container-side coupling element and the latching element being arranged on the cross-sectional outline in the same cross-sectional plane on the housing.
  • This cross-sectional plane preferably also runs parallel to a vertical or horizontal outer housing wall of the housing. So if you look at the housing in the insertion direction, then the container-side coupling element and the latching element are arranged on a common horizontal or vertical, the mentioned orientations are based on the installation of the household appliance in a room.
  • the direction of insertion is preferably aligned parallel to a direction of longitudinal extent of the housing.
  • the coupling element and the latching element are arranged essentially on a diagonal or on opposite ends of a diagonal of the cross-sectional outline on the housing.
  • these two elements are as far apart as possible along the cross-sectional outline.
  • the diagonal runs preferably at an angle or transversely to the direction of insertion. If the coupling element on the receiving side exerts a force on the housing against the insertion direction, this force, in cooperation with the locking element, results in a torque acting on the housing. This torque leads to the latching element being pressed further in the direction of latching with the latching counter-element, so that the latching connection is improved. This is particularly useful when there are vibrations, for example during a spin cycle in a washing machine, for a secure fixation of the housing in the receiving device.
  • the cross-sectional outline of the housing in the cross-sectional plane parallel to the insertion direction is essentially rectangular or square.
  • a side surface of the housing extending in the insertion direction is essentially rectangular or square.
  • the housing has a substantially rectangular or square cross section perpendicular to the insertion direction.
  • the housing as a whole is preferably essentially cuboid or cube-shaped.
  • a rectangular or square cross section along a plane has the advantage that the housing can be safely stacked along this plane.
  • such a housing saves space when two or more storage containers of this type are to be arranged in a receiving device.
  • a guide elevation is arranged on a guide surface of the housing which is designed to engage in a guide groove of the receiving device when the housing is pushed into the receiving device for safe guidance of the housing.
  • the raised guide serves to ensure that the housing can be safely inserted into the receiving device.
  • the user can initially orientate himself on the guide surface of the housing and ensure that this guide surface is placed on an edge or an inner surface of the receiving device. Next, he has to place the raised guide in the guide groove and then push the housing into the receiving device as far as it will go.
  • the guide elevation thus serves to ensure an optimal position and, if necessary, also the orientation of the housing when it is pushed into the receiving device.
  • the guide elevation is therefore preferably an elevation made up of an otherwise planar or flat guide surface of the housing (that is, apart from further guide or adjustment elements, if applicable). At least in the immediate vicinity of the guide elevation, the guide surface is preferably planar or flat.
  • the guide elevation can protrude essentially perpendicularly from the guide surface in the shape of a pin or a connector.
  • the guide elevation can also be stretched along the guide surface in order to also specify the orientation of the housing when the housing is inserted into the receiving device.
  • the guide elevation on the housing is adjacent to the container-side coupling element or together with the container-side Coupling element is arranged in the same cross-sectional plane parallel to the insertion direction.
  • This cross-sectional plane can preferably run parallel to a side wall of the housing. If the guide elevation on the housing is arranged adjacent to the container-side coupling element, then the guide groove of the receiving device must also be arranged adjacent to the receiving-side coupling element or run towards the receiving-side coupling element. This has the advantage that, with the aid of the guide elevation guided in the guide groove, the container-side coupling element is fed to the receptacle-side coupling element in order to connect the two coupling elements to form the coupling device.
  • the locking element is arranged on a side of the housing opposite the guide surface.
  • the guide surface and in particular the guide elevation can support the housing against an inner wall or against the guide groove in order to secure the latching connection.
  • adjustment knobs for engaging in adjustment grooves in the receiving device can also be provided for this purpose. It is advantageously provided that the adjustment knobs are arranged on the guide surface on the housing essentially in a common cross-sectional plane arranged perpendicular to the insertion direction. These adjusting knobs ensure that the locking element is and remains optimally positioned for the locking connection.
  • the latching element, the container-side coupling element and / or the guide elevation is / are arranged essentially horizontally in the center, viewed perpendicular to an end face or face of the housing.
  • these elements are arranged along a vertical line when looking at the face.
  • the elements mentioned can also be arranged essentially vertically in the center.
  • the stated orientations relate horizontally and vertically to the position of the household appliance in a room.
  • the end face or end face is preferably formed essentially perpendicular to the insertion direction. In the case of a cuboid housing, it is preferably the narrow side, which is expediently square.
  • a horizontally or vertically central arrangement has the advantage that the distribution of forces when holding the housing in the receiving device is symmetrical. Furthermore, the housing can be threaded into the receiving device more easily because, for example, the user when inserting the housing into the receiving device, the housing can be held in such a way that the counter-locking element appears centrally over the end face of the housing.
  • the housing has a length between approximately 100 mm and 500 mm, a width between approximately 50 mm to 150 mm and / or a height between approximately 50 mm to 150 mm. Such dimensions allow simple and safe handling of the housing and guarantee a secure locking connection with low requirements on the materials from which the locking element and counter-locking element are formed.
  • the storage container described here can already be filled at the factory and / or provided with a filling opening on the housing in order to fill it for the first time or to refill it after use.
  • the storage container is part of a metering device for a water-bearing household appliance, in particular for a washing machine or for a dishwasher, which, in addition to the storage container, has a receiving device which is designed accordingly to receive and hold the housing.
  • a water-conducting household appliance 1 namely a washing machine 1
  • a receiving device 3 is provided in the lower region of which a receiving device 3 is provided.
  • a storage container 2 and a further storage container 2 are arranged in the receiving device 3, the left-hand storage container 2 being pulled out somewhat.
  • the receiving device 3 forms a metering device for metering a liquid, in particular a detergent or a washing additive.
  • a detergent or a washing additive can be contained in the storage container 2, while another washing agent or another washing additive is present in the further storage container 2, or the further storage container 2 serves as a reserve container for the same detergent or for the same washing additive.
  • FIG. 2 A detailed view of the dosing device is shown in the Fig. 2 shown.
  • the two essentially identical storage containers 2 are pushed in side by side and latched into place.
  • the locking elements on the reservoirs 2 are in the Fig. 2 not visible because they are covered by the counter-locking elements 32.
  • Each counter-locking element 32 is flexible and has a pressure actuator 322 which is designed as a recess. When pressure is exerted on the pressure actuator 322, the counter-locking element 32 is pressed upwards so that the locking connection that holds the storage container 2 is released.
  • Each storage container 2 also has a handle element 24 with a finger opening 241 on its end face which is visible here.
  • the grip element 24 can be gripped in order to pull the storage container 2 out of the receiving device 3.
  • the storage container 2 can be released and pulled out with one hand, for example by the user pressing with his thumb against the pressure actuator 322 and releasing the locking connection and at the same time reaching into the finger opening 241 of the handle element 24 with his index finger and pulling the storage container 2 out.
  • a device flap 34 is also visible, which closes the receiving device 3, so that the storage containers 2 are protected behind the device flap 34 and at the same time hidden.
  • This device flap 34 is more visible in the perspective illustration of the metering device in FIG Fig. 3 .
  • both storage containers 2 are removed from the receiving device 3.
  • a storage container 2 is shown as it is being pushed into the receiving device 3.
  • the storage container 2 is pushed into the receiving device 3 in an insertion direction 4 illustrated by means of an arrow 4.
  • the storage container 2 is designed in the form of a cuboid. At right angles to the direction of insertion 4, it has an essentially square cross section with rounded corners, while it is stretched along the direction of insertion 4 or has its largest dimension along the direction of insertion 4.
  • the reservoir 2 is in the Fig. 3 positioned so that it only has to be moved in the insertion direction in order to be inserted into the receiving device 3.
  • the same situation as in Fig. 3 with respect to the position of the storage container 2 is in the Fig. 4 shown from a different perspective, in which Fig. 4
  • a further storage container 2 is already arranged in the receiving device 3.
  • the storage container 2 is arranged such that a guide elevation 231, which is formed on a guide surface 23 of the housing 20, engages in a guide groove 331.
  • a locking element 22 formed on a surface of the housing 20 opposite the guide surface 23 engages in a counter-locking element 32 in the receiving device 3 and thus forms a locking connection.
  • two adjusting knobs 232 are also provided on the guide surface 23, which engage in adjusting grooves 332 on the receiving surface 33.
  • the adjusting knobs 232 also ensure that the housing 20 is not tilted sideways.
  • the adjusting knobs 232 and the latching element 22 are located in a common cross-sectional plane perpendicular to the insertion direction 4 or to an extension direction of the housing 20.
  • FIG Fig. 5 A cross-sectional view through the receiving device 3 with an inserted and latched storage container 2 is shown in FIG Fig. 5 shown. It is clearly visible here how the latching element 22 is inserted into the latching counter element 32.
  • the coupling element 31 on the receiving side is pushed into a tubular opening of the housing 20 which contains a piston 211 with an annular seal 212.
  • the piston 211 is pushed from a closed position, in which it closes a flow of liquid from the housing with the aid of the ring seal 212, against the insertion direction 4 into an open position. This opens the flow for the liquid, which can then be sucked through the hollow mandrel into the washing machine 1.
  • the piston 211 is preloaded against the housing 20 with a restoring element 213, namely a spring. Therefore, in this locked state, a pretensioning force is exerted on the container-side coupling element 21 in the opposite direction to the insertion direction 4 on the housing 20. Because the locking element 22 is arranged diagonally opposite to the coupling element 21 in the cross-sectional plane visible here, this prestressing force results in a torque which presses the locking element 22 against the counter-locking element 32.
