Definitions
- the present invention relates to a washing device comprising a drawer wherein operations such as washing/rinsing/drying of items are performed.
- the washers such as washing machines, dishwashers comprise drawers, where liquid or solid detergents, softeners, other cleaning agents etc., as a part of washing liquids used in washing and rinsing operations, are stored, and are drawn when necessary from the drawers and supplied into the part (e.g. drum) of the washing device where said operations are carried out.
- the drawers comprise a plurality of compartments to store the cleaning agents separately, wherein the cleaning agent corresponding to an operation to be performed on items is supplied from the respective compartment into the chamber of the washer to perform that operation.
- water is also supplied from a source, e.g. municipal water system, into the chamber of the washer where said operation is performed.
- An exemplary washing machine detergent drawer is disclosed in the patent document AU2014214033A1 .
- water and cleaning agent cannot be mixed homogeneously in the drawer, therefore both the operations such as washing/rinsing of the items are not performed efficiently enough, and the residues of the cleansing agents which may be built up in the washing device can cause obstructions in the tubes of the washing device.
- Another washer drawer structure is enclosed in patent document EP2251481A1 , comprising at least one body in which cleaning agents are stored; at least one water line; at least one first and one second compartments provided in the body, in which a first and a second liquid cleaning agent is stored.
- the washer drawer enclosed further comprises a mixing compartment in which the first/second cleaning agent is supplied and mixed with water.
- a washer comprising a housing that extends from the outer surface of the body to the interior of the body, a dispenser that is disposed inside the housing and that has more than one division wherein the cleaning agents are stored, and a dosing unit enabling the desired amount of liquid cleaning agents to be transferred to the tub is enclosed.
- the washer delivers the required amount of cleaning agents, according to the user preference and parameters to the lower part of the housing by means of the hoses and enables them to be mixed with the wash water.
- the drawer structure enclosed in this document does not provide a separate mixing compartment or mixing line for a homogeneous mixing of cleaning agents with water.
- the cleaning agents are supplied in the washer in required amount determined with respect to the user preferences and parameters. There is not required any sensor and controller combination for sensing some defined parameters and providing the required amount of cleaning agents accordingly.
- a detergent feeding device is disclosed.
- the feeding device comprises a detergent housing, a detergent case installed in the detergent housing to store liquid detergent and a detergent introduction module to introduce the liquid detergent stored in the detergent case into the detergent housing.
- the feeding device neither provides a compartment or a separate line for mixing the cleaning agent with water, nor any sensors and an automatic detergent feeding function in accordance with sensed parameters.
- a washing device comprising at least one inner chamber in which operations such as washing/rinsing/drying of items are performed, at least one door which provides access into the inner chamber, at least one mains inlet line through which water is taken in from at least one water source.

- At least one control element adjusting the amount of water and/or of the cleaning agent to be used in washing and/or rinsing operation(s) to be performed according to measured values, and having connection to the first pump and/or the second pump and/or to at least one main pump providing the supply of water into the body.
- washing operations are performed in an efficient manner in the washing device according to the present invention as a result of supplying the cleaning agents used for washing- and rinsing-like operations in a mixed form into the inner chamber where washing is done. Additionally, by virtue of measuring the weights, amount of dirt etc. of items to be washed and accordingly adjusting the amount of cleaning agents/water, the washing device according to the present invention is both economical and environmentally-friendly.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a washing device having a washer drawer, in which cleaning agents such as detergents, softeners, etc. are stored.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a washing device having a washer drawer, by means of which detergents, softeners, mains water, and similar agents are first mixed therein and then supplied to an inner chamber where washing is done.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a washing device having a washer drawer, by means of which the cleaning agents and/or water used are automatically adjusted according to the amount of dirt and/or the weight of the items to be washed.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide a washing device having a washer drawer, wherein electronic components such as pumps providing the supply of cleaning agents such as detergents, softeners etc. into the inner chamber are situated in a place different from the compartment in which the cleaning agents are stored.
- electronic components such as pumps providing the supply of cleaning agents such as detergents, softeners etc. into the inner chamber are situated in a place different from the compartment in which the cleaning agents are stored.
- Still a further object of the present invention is to provide a washing device having a safe and durable washer drawer.
