Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einspüleinrichtung für eine Waschmaschine mit einem in einem Einschubfach angeordneten Schub in dem Kammern zur Bevorratung von flüssigem und/oder pulverförmigem Waschmittel vorgesehen sind, welches mittels der oberhalb des Schubes angeordneten Einspüleinrichtung durch Frischwasserzugabe für den Waschprozess entnehmbar ist, wobei die Kammern in dem Schub derart angeordnet sind, dass eine Entnahme der pulverförmigen Waschmittelsubstanzen jeweils über Öffnungen an den rückwärtigen Stirnwänden erfolgt, wobei die flüssige Waschmittelsubstanz vorzugsweise über einen in der Kammer angeordneten Saugheber erfolgt, der mit einem unterhalb des Schubes angeordneten Auslasskanal zusammenwirkt.The invention relates to a flushing device for a washing machine with a arranged in a drawer drawer in the chambers for storing liquid and / or powder detergent are provided which can be removed by means of the above the thrust arranged flushing device by adding fresh water for the washing process, the chambers in the thrust are arranged such that a removal of the powdered detergent substances takes place in each case via openings on the rear end walls, wherein the liquid detergent substance preferably takes place via an arranged in the chamber siphon, which cooperates with a arranged below the thrust outlet channel.

Aus dem Stand der Technik ist gemäß der DE 195 05 292 A1 eine Schublade für eine Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung bekannt. Bei dieser gattungsgemäßen Schublade mit einer Kammer für flüssiges Waschmittel ist hierbei in der Kammer ein Saugheber angeordnet, über die die flüssige Waschmittelsubstanz entnommen werden kann.From the prior art is according to the DE 195 05 292 A1 a drawer for a Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung known. In this generic drawer with a chamber for liquid detergent here a siphon is arranged in the chamber, through which the liquid detergent substance can be removed.

Aus der US 2003/0145633 A1 ist ebenfalls eine Einspüleinrichtung für eine Waschmaschine mit einem Einschubfach und einem darin vorgesehenen Schub bekannt, wobei der Schub mit Kammern zur Bevorratung von pulverförmigem und/oder flüssigem Waschmittel vorgesehen ist. Dabei befindet sich unterhalb des Schubes ein Auslasskanal, der mit den Kammern zusammenwirkt, wobei über die Zugabe der Einspüleinrichtung das Frischwasser in die Kammern einströmt und über den unter dem Schub vorgesehenen Auslasskanal das Waschmittel dem Waschprozess zugeführt wird. Bei den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Einspüleinrichtungen wird es als nachteilig angesehen, dass sich in dem Auslasskanal Ablagerungen absetzen können, die zu einer Verschmutzung des Auslasskanals unter dem Schubkasten führen, wobei hier insbesondere Weichspülmittelreste sich an der Auslasskanalwand festsetzen. Bedingt durch die feste Fügung des Kanals an dem Schubkasten ist ein Reinigen des Kanals nur bedingt möglich. Es sind spezielle Reinigungsbürsten hierzu erforderlich, um den Auslasskanal funktionsfähig zu halten. Der aus dem Stand der Technik beschriebene Auslasskanal wird an dem Schubkasten durch ein Schweißverfahren oder durch Filmscharniere an dem Boden des Schubes angebracht.From the US 2003/0145633 A1 is also a Einspüleinrichtung for a washing machine with a slot and a thrust provided therein, wherein the thrust is provided with chambers for storing powdered and / or liquid detergent. In this case, there is an outlet channel below the thrust, which cooperates with the chambers, wherein the addition of the flushing device, the fresh water flows into the chambers and the detergent is supplied to the washing process via the provided under the thrust outlet channel. In the case of the flushing devices known from the prior art, it is considered to be disadvantageous that deposits can be deposited in the outlet channel, which lead to contamination of the outlet channel under the drawer, in which case in particular fabric softener residues settle on the outlet channel wall. Due to the fixed joining of the channel to the drawer, cleaning of the duct is only possible to a limited extent. Special cleaning brushes are required to keep the outlet duct in working order. The outlet channel described in the prior art is attached to the drawer by a welding process or by film hinges at the bottom of the drawer.

Der Erfindung stellt sich somit das Problem, eine Einspüleinrichtung für eine Waschmaschine mit einem in einem Einschubfach angeordneten Schub derart weiter zu bilden, bei der der unterhalb des Schubes vorgesehene Auslasskanal für eine effektive Reinigung wesentlich besser zugänglich ist.The invention thus raises the problem of continuing to form a flushing device for a washing machine with a thrust arranged in an insertion compartment, in which the provided below the thrust outlet channel for effective cleaning is much more accessible.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem durch eine Einspüleinrichtung mit den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden abhängigen Ansprüchen.According to the invention, this problem is solved by a flushing device with the features of independent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and modifications of the invention will become apparent from the following dependent claims.

Die mit der Erfindung erreichten Vorteile bestehen darin, dass der Auslasskanal und der Schub aus zwei eigenständigen Bauteilen gebildet sind. Dabei sind sie mechanisch lösbar, hier beispielsweise mit einer Rastung, miteinander verbunden. Durch ein einfaches Handling der Bauteile kann der Benutzer zu Reinigungszwecken den Kanal vom Schubkasten trennen. Bei Beschädigung eines der Teile ist nur ein Teil zu ersetzen. Zudem weist der Kanal hierbei zusätzlich die Funktion einer Schubkastenarretierung auf. Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, dass man eine größere Materialfreiheit bei den Einzelkomponenten in der Herstellung hat.The advantages achieved with the invention are that the outlet channel and the thrust are formed from two separate components. They are mechanically detachable, here for example with a detent, connected to each other. By simply handling the components, the user can separate the channel from the drawer for cleaning purposes. If one of the parts is damaged, only one part has to be replaced. In addition, the channel here additionally has the function of a drawer lock. Another advantage is that one has a greater freedom of material in the individual components in the production.

Erfindungsgemäß wird hierzu vorgeschlagen, dass der Auslasskanal als ein separates Bauteil ausgebildet ist, der unterhalb des Schubes angeordnet ist und wobei dieser zur Reinigung vom Schub trennbar ist. Es versteht sich von selbst, dass, wenn nach einer hinreichenden Betriebszeit sich im Auslasskanal für das flüssige Waschmittel Ablagerungen gebildet haben, dieser einfach vom Boden des ausgezogenen Schubes getrennt werden kann, um ihn beispielsweise unter einem Wasserkrahn wieder frei zu spülen und zu reinigen. Hierzu ist der Auslasskanal in vorteilhafter Weise an der Unterseite des Schubes mittels einer Rastverbindung lösbar befestigt, was ein werkzeugloses Trennen des Auslasskanals vom Boden des Schubes ermöglicht.According to the invention it is proposed for this purpose that the outlet channel is formed as a separate component, which is arranged below the thrust and which is separable from the thrust for cleaning. It goes without saying that if, after a sufficient period of operation, deposits have formed in the outlet channel for the liquid detergent, it can easily be separated from the bottom of the drawn-out thrust in order, for example, to rinse and clean it freely under a water scoop. For this purpose, the outlet channel is releasably secured in an advantageous manner on the underside of the thrust by means of a latching connection, which allows a tool-free separation of the outlet channel from the bottom of the thrust.

Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist der Auslasskanal am hinteren austrittseitigen Bereich an den Wänden Nasen auf, die in am Boden des Schubes angeformte Ösen im angesetzten Zustand des Auslasskanals greifen. Somit lässt sich nach dem Reinigen der Auslasskanal wieder einfach an dem Boden des Schubes montieren, in dem in einfacher Weise die Nasen in die Ösen gesteckt werden, wobei dann der Kanal angehoben wird um ihn in die Rastnase einschnappen zu lassen.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the outlet channel at the rear outlet-side region on the walls lugs which engage in the bottom of the thrust integrally formed eyelets in the attached state of the outlet channel. Thus, after cleaning, the exhaust duct can again be easily mounted on the bottom of the thrust, in which the noses are simply inserted into the grommets, in which case the channel is raised in order to snap it into the detent.

Nach einer zweckmäßigen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist der Auslasskanal im vorderen Bereich einen Ansatz auf, der mit einer am Boden des Schubes angeformten Raste im angesetzten Zustand des Auslasskanals zusammenwirkt. Dabei besteht der Ansatz aus einer im Auslasskanal angeformten Öffnung, durch die eine am Schub angeformte Raste greift.According to an expedient embodiment of the invention, the outlet channel in the front region on a lug, which cooperates with a molded-on the bottom of the push catch in the attached state of the outlet channel. In this case, the approach consists of an opening formed in the outlet opening, engages through an integrally formed on the push catch.

Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des Auslasskanals besteht dieser aus einem im Wesentlichen U-förmigen Profilstab. Die die Seitenwände bildenden Schenkel des U-förmigen Profilstabes wirken hierbei mit am Boden des Schubes angeformten Zentrierelementen zusammen. Hierbei umfassen die Zentrierelemente angeformte Stegelemente, die im angesetzten Zustand des Auslasskanals an der Innenseite der Seitenwände anliegen bzw. diese hintergreifen. Aufgrund dieser Ausbildung wird erreicht, dass neben einer leichten und sicheren Montage auch ein dichtender Sitz des Auslasskanals am Boden des Schubes erreicht wird. Denn aufgrund der anliegenden Seitenwände des U-förmigen Profilstabes an die Stegelemente ist ein Formschluss gegeben, so dass über die Seitenwände kein Flüssigwaschmittel nach außen dringen kann.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the outlet channel, this consists of a substantially U-shaped profile bar. The side walls forming the legs of the U-shaped profile bar act together with integrally formed on the bottom of the thrust centering. In this case, the centering elements comprise integrally formed web elements, which are attached in the State of the outlet channel on the inside of the side walls abut or engage behind. Due to this design ensures that in addition to an easy and safe installation and a sealing seat of the exhaust duct is reached at the bottom of the thrust. Because due to the adjacent side walls of the U-shaped profile bar to the web elements a positive engagement is given, so that on the side walls no liquid detergent can escape to the outside.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist in einer der Flucht der Stegelemente im vorderen Bereich die Raste angeformt. Dabei ist außen am Boden des Auslasskanals eine Schubarretierung angeformt, die einen begrenzten Auszug des Schubes aus dem Einschubfach bewirkt.In a further development of the invention, the catch is formed in one of the escape of the web elements in the front region. In this case, a Schubarretierung is formed on the outside of the bottom of the outlet channel, which causes a limited excerpt of the thrust from the insertion compartment.

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einspüleinrichtung 1 für eine Waschmaschine 2, wie diese insbesondere in der Figur 1 in der geschnittenen Darstellung zu erkennen ist. Fig. 1 zeigt insgesamt eine Waschmaschine 2 mit einem in einem Gehäuse 2a angeordneten Laugenbehälter 26, in dem eine mittels eines Motors 28 angetriebenen Trommel 27 drehbar gelagert ist. In dem Gehäuse 2a befindet sich ebenfalls ein als Schub 4 ausgebildeter Spülkasten 3 mit Kammerelementen 5 zur Vorhaltung eines nicht näher dargestellten pulverförmigen und/oder flüssigen Waschmittels, welches von eingeleiteter Waschflüssigkeit aus den jeweiligen Kammerelementen 5 in den Laugenbehälter 26 eingespült wird. Wie in Fig. 1 und auch in Fig. 6 zu erkennen ist, umfasst die Einspüleinrichtung 1 hierbei einen in einem Einschubfach 3 angeordneten Schub 4, der an der Frontseite des Maschinengehäuses 2a herausgezogen werden kann. Hier ist ferner zu erkennen, dass oberhalb des Schubes 4 Einsprühdüsen 1 a der Einspüleinrichtung 1 zum Einspülen von Wasser in die einzelnen Kammern 5 angeordnet sind. Mit einer Wasserweiche 28 wird das Wasser entsprechend in einzelne Düsenbereiche geleitet. In dem Schub 4 sind Kammern 5 zur Bevorratung von flüssigem und/oder pulverförmigem Waschmittel vorgesehen.The invention relates to a flushing device 1 for a washing machine 2, as this particular in the FIG. 1 can be seen in the sectional view. Fig. 1 shows a total of a washing machine 2 with a arranged in a housing 2a tub 26, in which a driven by a motor 28 drum 27 is rotatably mounted. In the housing 2a is also designed as a thrust 4 cistern 3 with chamber elements 5 for providing a non-illustrated powdery and / or liquid detergent, which is flushed from the introduced washing liquid from the respective chamber elements 5 in the tub 26. As in Fig. 1 and also in Fig. 6 it can be seen, the flushing device 1 in this case comprises a arranged in a slot 3 thrust 4, which can be pulled out on the front side of the machine housing 2a. Here it can also be seen that above the thrust 4 injection nozzles 1 a of the flushing device 1 are arranged for flushing water into the individual chambers 5. With a water switch 28, the water is passed in accordance with individual nozzle areas. In the thrust 4 chambers 5 are provided for storing liquid and / or powdered detergent.

Wie insbesondere in der Figur 2 zu erkennen ist, umfasst hierbei der Schub 4 drei Kammern 5.1, 5.2 und 5.3, wobei die länglichen Kammern 5.1 und 5.2 insbesondere zur Vorhaltung von pulverförmigem Waschmittel vorgesehen sind. Die Kammer 5.3 ist insbesondere für flüssiges Waschmittel bestimmt. Dabei wird das in den Kammern 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 vorgehaltene Waschmittel mittels der oberhalb des Schubes 4 angeordneten Einspüleinrichtung 1 durch Frischwasserzugabe für den Waschprozess entnommen. Die Kammern 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 in dem Schub 4 sind derart angeordnet, dass eine Entnahme der pulverförmigen Waschmittelsubstanzen jeweils über Öffnungen 6 und 7 an den rückwärtigen Stirnwänden erfolgt, wobei die flüssige Waschmittelsubstanz vorzugsweise über einen in der Kammer 5.3 angeordneten Saugheber 8, wie er in der Figur 1 angedeutet zu erkennen ist, erfolgt. Der Saugheber 8 wirkt mit einem unterhalb des Schubes 4 angeordneten Auslasskanal 9 zusammen, wie dieser in der Figur 2 und 3 deutlich zu erkennen ist. Der Kanal 9 dient dazu, das flüssige Zugabemittel aus der Kammer 5.3 möglichst nah zur Mündung des Verbindungsrohres 26a im Spülkasten 3 zu fördern, damit sich keine Ablagerungen oder Anhaftungen am Boden des Spülkastens 3 bilden. In Zusammenschau der Figuren 3, 4 und 5 wird nun erkennbar, dass der Auslasskanal 9 als ein separates Bauteil ausgebildet ist, der unterhalb des Schubes 4 angeordnet ist und wobei dieser zur Reinigung vom Schub 4 getrennt werden kann, wie dies insbesondere in der Figur 4 zu erkennen ist. Der Auslasskanal 9 ist hierbei an der Unterseite des Schubes 4 mittels einer Rastverbindung 10 lösbar befestigt. Die Rastverbindung 10 ist besser zu erkennen in den Figuren 3, 4 und 5, wobei hier zu erkennen ist, dass der Auslasskanal 9 am hinteren austragsseitigen Bereich an den Wänden 11 und 12 Nasen 13 aufweist, die in am Boden des Schubes 4 angeformte Ösen 14 im angesetzten Zustand, dargestellt in der Figur 3, greifen.As in particular in the FIG. 2 can be seen, this includes the thrust 4 three chambers 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3, wherein the elongated chambers 5.1 and 5.2 are provided in particular for the provision of powdered detergent. The chamber 5.3 is intended in particular for liquid detergent. In the process, the detergent held in the chambers 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 is removed by means of the flushing device 1 arranged above the push 4, by adding fresh water for the washing process. The chambers 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 in the thrust 4 are arranged such that a removal of the powdered detergent substances in each case via openings 6 and 7 takes place at the rear end walls, wherein the liquid detergent substance preferably via a arranged in the chamber 5.3 siphon 8, as he in the FIG. 1 indicated to be recognized takes place. The siphon 8 cooperates with an outlet channel 9 arranged below the thrust 4, like this one in the FIG. 2 and 3 is clearly visible. The channel 9 serves to convey the liquid adding agent from the chamber 5.3 as close as possible to the mouth of the connecting pipe 26a in the cistern 3, so that no deposits or buildup on the bottom of the cistern 3. In synopsis of Figures 3 . 4 and 5 It will now be seen that the outlet channel 9 is formed as a separate component, which is arranged below the thrust 4 and this can be separated for cleaning by the thrust 4, as in particular in the FIG. 4 can be seen. The outlet channel 9 is in this case releasably secured to the underside of the thrust 4 by means of a snap-in connection 10. The locking connection 10 is better seen in the Figures 3 . 4 and 5 , It can be seen here that the outlet channel 9 at the rear discharge-side region on the walls 11 and 12 lugs 13 which formed in at the bottom of the thrust 4 eyelets 14 in the attached state, shown in the FIG. 3 , to grab.

Der Auslasskanal 9 weist hierbei im vorderen Bereich einen Ansatz 15 auf, der mit einer an den Boden des Schubes 4 angeformten Raste 16 im angesetzten Zustand des Auslasskanals 9 zusammenwirkt, wie dies in der Figur 3 ebenfalls zu erkennen ist, wo einerseits der Ansatz 15 und auch andererseits die am Schub 4 angeformte Raste 16 zu erkennen ist. Weiter ist zu erkennen, dass der Ansatz 15 aus einer am Auslasskanal 9 angeformten Öffnung 17 besteht, durch die die am Schub 4 bzw. an der Raste 16 angeformte Rastnase 18 greift. Ist also der Auslasskanal 9 auslassseitig mit den Nasen 13 arretiert, kann der Auslasskanal 9 von unten her mit der Rastnase 18 angedrückt werden und rastet hierbei selbsttätig ein. Soll der Auslasskanal 9 wieder getrennt werden, besteht die Möglichkeit, dass die Rastnase 18, wie sie in der Figur 2 zu erkennen ist, mit dem Finger zurückgedrückt wird, so dass sich der Auslasskanal 9 wieder löst und somit vom Boden des Schubes 4 getrennt werden kann, in dem die Nasen 13 vorne aus den Ösen 14 wieder herausgezogen werden.The outlet channel 9 in this case has in the front region a projection 15 which cooperates with a formed on the bottom of the thrust 4 detent 16 in the attached state of the outlet channel 9, as shown in the FIG. 3 It can also be seen where, on the one hand, the projection 15 and, on the other hand, the detent 16 integrally formed on the thrust 4 can be seen. It can also be seen that the projection 15 consists of an opening 17 integrally formed on the outlet channel 9, through which the detent nose 18 integrally formed on the thrust 4 or on the detent 16 engages. Thus, if the outlet channel 9 is locked on the outlet side with the lugs 13, the outlet channel 9 can be pressed from below with the latching lug 18 and thereby engages automatically. If the outlet channel 9 to be separated again, there is the possibility that the locking lug 18, as shown in the FIG. 2 can be seen, is pushed back with the finger, so that the outlet channel 9 dissolves again and thus can be separated from the bottom of the thrust 4, in which the lugs 13 are pulled out the front of the eyelets 14 again.

Wie insbesondere aus der Figur 2 und auch aus der Figur 3 zu erkennen ist, besteht der Auslasskanal 9 aus einem im Wesentlichen U-förmigen Profilstab 19. Dabei wirken die die Seitenwände 20 und 21 bildenden Schenkel des U-förmigen Profilstabes 19 mit am Boden des Schubes 4 angeformten Zentrierelementen 22 und 23 zusammen. Die Zentrierelemente 22 und 23 sind am besten zu erkennen in der Figur 5, wo diese aufgrund des fehlenden Auslasskanals 9 unterhalb des Schubes 4 angeformt zu erkennen sind. Auch sind hier die Auslassöffnungen 24 des Saughebers 8 zu erkennen, über die das flüssige Waschmittel in den Auslasskanal 9 gelangt, wenn die Frischwasserzugabe über die Einspüleinrichtung 1 erfolgt. Die Zentrierelemente 22 und 23 umfassen angeformte Stegelemente, die im angesetzten Zustand des Auslasskanals 9 an der Innenseite der Seitenwände 20 und 21 anliegen bzw. diese hintergreifen. Ist also der Auslasskanal 9, wie in der Figur 2 dargestellt, im angesetzten Zustand, so dichten insbesondere die angeformten Zentrierelemente 22 und 23 den Profilstab 19 gegenüber dem Boden des Schubes 4 ab. Wie insbesondere aus der Figur 5 zu erkennen ist, ist in einer der Flucht der Stegelemente im vorderen Bereich die Rastnase 18 angeformt. Diese greift dann in die entsprechende Öffnung 17 im angesetzten Zustand.As in particular from the FIG. 2 and also from the FIG. 3 can be seen, the outlet channel 9 consists of a substantially U-shaped profile bar 19. In this case, the side walls 20 and 21 forming legs of the U-shaped profile bar 19 with integrally formed on the bottom of the thrust 4 centering elements 22 and 23 together. The centering elements 22 and 23 are best seen in the FIG. 5 , where these can be seen formed due to the lack of outlet channel 9 below the thrust 4 molded. Here too, the outlet openings 24 of the siphon 8 can be seen, via which the liquid detergent passes into the outlet channel 9 when the fresh water addition takes place via the flushing device 1. The centering elements 22 and 23 comprise integrally formed web elements which abut against the inside of the side walls 20 and 21 in the attached state of the outlet channel 9 and engage behind. So is the outlet channel 9, as in the FIG. 2 shown, in the attached state, so in particular the molded centering elements 22 and 23 seal the profile bar 19 from the bottom of the thrust 4. As in particular from the FIG. 5 can be seen, in one of the escape of the web elements in the front region, the locking lug 18 is formed. This then engages in the corresponding opening 17 in the attached state.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist außen am Boden des Auslasskanals 9 eine Schubarretierung 25 angeordnet, die einen begrenzten Auszug des Schubes 4 aus dem Einschubfach 3 bewirkt. Die Schubarretierung 24 ist in der Figur 3, aber auch in der Figur 4 zu erkennen, wo diese aus dreieckförmigen unterhalb des Auslasskanals 9 angeformten Flächenelementen bestehen, welche dann gegen einen Widerstand am Einschubfach 3 stoßen, wenn der Schub 4 aus dem Einschubfach 3 herausgezogen wird.In a further development of the invention, a Schubarretierung 25 is arranged outside the bottom of the outlet channel 9, which causes a limited excerpt of the thrust 4 from the insertion compartment 3. The Schubarretierung 24 is in the FIG. 3 but also in the FIG. 4 to recognize where they consist of triangular shaped below the outlet channel 9 surface elements, which then encounter a resistance at the insertion compartment 3, when the thrust 4 is pulled out of the insertion compartment 3.
