Description

 Dosing system for the release of bleach-containing preparations during a

 Washing program of a washing machine

The invention relates to a metering system for the release of at least one bleach-containing preparation during a washing program of a washing machine.

Machine detergents are available to consumers in a variety of forms. These mechanical detergents are typically offered to the consumer in solid form, for example as a powder or as tablets, but increasingly also in liquid or gel form. While the separation of incompatible ingredients with solid agents is usually relatively easy and can be done by wrapping the packaged in solid form individual substances come in liquid, especially aqueous preparations, the individual ingredients in close contact, so that in particular after storage an unreasonable decrease in the amount individual ingredients as a result of chemical reactions with other ingredients. Another main focus of the

For some time, the consumer has been interested in the convenient dosage of detergents and the simplification of the steps necessary to carry out a washing process.

Furthermore, one of the main objectives of the machine washing machine manufacturers is to improve the washing performance of these detergents, with a recent focus on the

Washing performance in low-temperature washes or in washes with reduced water consumption is placed. To this end, new ingredients, for example more active surfactants, polymers, enzymes or bleaches, were preferably added to the detergents. However, since new ingredients are available only to a limited extent and the amount of ingredients used per wash can not be increased to any degree for ecological and economic reasons, this approach is naturally limited.

In this context, in particular devices for the multiple dosing of detergents have recently come into the field of vision of the product developers. In these

Devices can be differentiated between integrated in the textile washing machine metering chambers on the one hand and stand-alone, independent of the textile washing machine devices on the other. By means of these devices multiplying the for the

Carrying out a washing process necessary amount of detergent to be included

Detergent portions in automatic or semi-automatic manner in the course of several successive washing processes dosed into the interior of the washing machine. For the Consumers eliminate the need for manual dosing with each wash. Examples of such devices are described in European patent application EP 1 759 624 A2 or in German patent application DE 10 2005 062 479 A1.

The object of the present invention is to provide a metering system for a washing machine, which provides an improved dosage of a bleach-containing preparation in the treatment room of the washing machine.

The metering system according to the invention for releasing preparations inside a washing machine which achieves this object comprises at least one metering device and at least one cartridge which can be coupled to the metering device, wherein the cartridge comprises at least one chamber containing a flowable peroxocarboxylic acid-containing preparation.

In preferred embodiments, the cartridge which can be coupled to the metering device comprises, in addition to the chamber containing the peroxycarboxylic acid-containing preparation, a further chamber or a total of at least three chambers which contain different flowable preparations, the further or first chamber storing at least one enzyme and one surfactant, the second chamber at least one preparation containing peroxycarboxylic acid is stored, and the optionally present third chamber stores at least one fragrance and / or one optical brightener and / or one conditioning agent. It is preferred that the first chamber contains no bleaching agent, in particular no peroxycarboxylic acid, and / or no perfume. It is further preferred that the second chamber containing the peroxycarboxylic acid-containing preparation contains no enzyme and / or fragrance. Furthermore, it is preferred that the third chamber, if present, contains no bleach, especially no peroxycarboxylic acid, and / or no enzyme; It is very particularly preferred that the third chamber also contains no complexing agent and / or no surfactant.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the dosing device comprises at least one sensor which is suitable for detecting the presence of water inside the washing machine. Particularly preferably, the dosing device comprises a conductivity sensor and / or

Temperature sensor.

It is particularly advantageous to configure the dosing device such that, in the presence of at least one sensor signal, the presence of water in the interior of the

Washing machine represents a dosage from the chamber of the cartridge takes place. It is preferred that the dosage from the containing the peroxycarboxylic acid containing preparation chamber is triggered after a predefined time between 1 min and 45 min, preferably between 5 minutes and 20 minutes after the start of the washing process defined by the aforesaid sensor signal. This can be ensured in a simple manner that the ingredients of a already present at the beginning of the washing process, for example, with the hot water scavenging detergent over the predefined period can act on the laundry to be washed before the release of the peroxycarboxylic acid takes place.

As stated above, an enzyme- and surfactant-containing liquid detergent can be used with the aid of

Dosing device from the first chamber of a cartridge containing several chambers are metered. According to an advantageous development of the invention, the dosing device is therefore configured in the presence of at least two chambers in the cartridge that after a predefined time, which is between 1 min and 30 min, preferably between 5 min and 15 min after the dosage of the enzyme - And surfactant-containing preparation from the first chamber of the cartridge is done, a dosage of the second peroxocarboxylic acid-containing

Preparation containing chamber is triggered. The dosage from the first chamber of the cartridge is preferably carried out after a predefined time, which is between 0, 1 sec and 10 min, preferably between 0.5 min and 5 min after the start of the washing process.

The invention further comprises a method for releasing preparations inside a washing machine comprising at least one metering device with at least one sensor which is suitable for detecting the presence of water in the interior of the washing machine and at least one cartridge which can be coupled to the metering device, the cartridge being at least two, in particular at least three chambers comprising different flowable preparations from each other, wherein the first chamber at least one enzyme and a surfactant, preferably at a pH of 5 to 10, in particular 6-8 stored, the second chamber at least one peroxycarboxylic acid, preferably stored at a pH of from 2 to 7, in particular from 3 to 6, the third chamber, if present, at least one perfume and / or an optical brightener and / or a conditioner, preferably at a pH of 6-8, stored, wherein in the presence of at least one sensor signal, the presence of Wa Sser represents inside the washing machine, a dosage from the first chamber of the cartridge takes place and after a predefined time, which is between 1 min and 30 min, preferably between 5 min and 15 min after the dosage from the first chamber of the cartridge is done , a dosage is released from the second chamber.

The washing performance of the abovementioned process can be markedly increased, especially at temperatures below 30 ° C., for example 10 ° C. to 30 ° C. and preferably at 15 ° C. to 25 ° C., provided the water feed is preceded by an ion exchanger, for example based on levatite , which acts to exchange the polyvalent cations for Na ions. Here, especially at a washing temperature of 20 ° C or below, there is a significant increase in performance, so that a performance level of a premium powder detergent is achieved. At higher temperatures, the effect is less pronounced. The mentioned increase in performance results in particular even with the exclusive use of the ion exchanger in the main wash, so that the majority of service water, which is üblichicherweise needed in the rinse cycles, may consist of non-ion-exchanged water. For the purpose of regenerating the ion exchanger, it is possible to provide a further compartment within the cartridge or a separate cartridge, which contains the necessary common salt accordingly. This can be used as needed.

With the invention, flowable detergent preparations can be supplied in a time-optimized manner to a washing process, so that an excellent washing performance with minimum use of raw materials, in particular in the area of enzymatically degradable and bleachable

Stains, possibly in conjunction with a very appealing perfuming on the laundry, can be realized. Preferably, the peroxocarboxylic acid-containing preparation is released at the beginning of the last fifth of the main wash, in particular in the last 5 to 10 minutes of the main wash. However, it is also possible to release the peroxocarboxylic acid-containing preparation only after completion of the main wash cycle during at least one of the subsequent rinsing steps.

By the present invention with the time lag of the introduction of the active ingredients, it is possible to improve the washing performance of a liquid detergent bleachable stains under at least constant performance of enzyme-sensitive stains. The overall performance of a liquid detergent can thus be increased to the performance of a powdered universal detergent. Another advantage is that bad odors, as they can conventionally occur after repeated washing at low Temepraturen be avoided. The improved hygiene of the washing machine and the laundry should be mentioned. The controlled release of the peroxycarboxylic acid reduces its corrosion potential within the washing machine, which can particularly affect the heating element or in the area between the holding down device and the heating element. Likewise, the occurrence of yellowing of the textiles, especially based on polyamide, is avoided.

For the purposes of this application, a cartridge is understood to mean a packaging material which is suitable for enveloping or holding together at least one flowable preparation and which can be coupled to a metering device for dispensing at least one preparation. The cartridge is in particular designed so that it is provided for storing a plurality of dosing portions of the preparations to be stored in it. Preferably, the cartridge for storing 10 to 50, more preferably 15 to 30, most preferably 20 to 25 Dosierportionen formed.

The cartridge preferably has at least two, in particular at least three, preferably dimensionally stable chambers for storing preparations which are different from one another. In this case, it is preferred that each of the chambers is designed to store from 10 to 50, particularly preferably 15 to 30, very particularly preferably 20 to 25 metering portions.

It is advantageous that the cartridge has at least one outlet opening, which is arranged such that a gravity-induced release of preparation from the cartridge in the position of use of the dosing device can be effected.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the cartridge is integrally formed. In this way, the cartridges, in particular by suitable blow molding, cost-effectively trained in a manufacturing step. The chambers of a cartridge can be separated from one another, for example, by webs or material bridges which are formed during or after the blow molding process. The cartridge may also be formed in several pieces, for example by injection molded components and subsequently assembled components. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the cartridge is formed in several pieces so that at least one chamber, preferably all chambers, can be removed individually from the dosing device or inserted into the dosing device. This makes it possible, in a different levels of consumption of a preparation from a chamber to replace an already empty chamber, while the remaining chambers, which may be filled with preparations, may remain in the metering device. Thus, a targeted and needs-based refilling the individual chambers or their preparations can be achieved. In addition, it is conceivable to form the individual chambers in such a way that the chambers in only one specific position

or position can be coupled to each other or with the dispenser, thereby avoiding a user a chamber in a not

intended position with the dosing device connects. For this purpose, the chamber walls can in particular be shaped such that they can be positively connected to one another. In the case of a cartridge formed from at least two, in particular at least three, chambers, the cartridges are shaped in such a way that the chambers can be positively connected to one another only in a specific defined position. The chambers of a cartridge can be fixed to one another by suitable connection methods, so that a container unit is formed. The chambers can by means of a suitable form-fitting, non-positive or cohesive connection detachable or insoluble

be fixed against each other. In particular, the fixation by one or more of

Types of connections from the group of snap-in connections, Velcro connections, compression joints, fusible links, adhesive bonds, welded joints, solder joints, screw, wedge, clamp or bounce connections done. In particular, the fixation can also be formed by a shrink sleeve (so-called sleeve), which is pulled in a heated state over the entire or sections of the cartridge and firmly encloses the chambers or the cartridge in the cooled state.

In particular, the cartridge may also be asymmetrical. It is particularly preferred to mold the asymmetry of the cartridge in such a way that the cartridge can only be coupled to the dosing device in a predefined position, thereby preventing an otherwise possible incorrect operation by the user.

In or on a chamber, in gravitational flow direction of the preparation before

Outlet opening of a chamber, a metering chamber may be formed. Through the metering chamber, the preparation amount that is to be released in the release of preparation from the chamber to the environment, set. This is particularly advantageous if the closure element of the dosing device, which causes the preparation output from a chamber to the environment, can only be put into a dispensing and a closure state without measurement or control of the dispensing quantity. It is then ensured by the metering chamber that a predefined amount of preparation is released without an immediate feedback of the currently discharged, outflowing preparation amount. The metering chambers can be formed in one piece or in several pieces. Furthermore, it is possible to firmly connect the metering chambers with the cartridge or detachably. In a detachably connected to the cartridge metering chamber, it is possible in a simple manner to connect metering chambers with different metering volumes with a cartridge or replace them, whereby a simple adjustment of the metering to each stored in a chamber preparation and thus a simple assembly of the Cartridge for different preparations and their dosage is possible.

According to a further advantageous development of the invention, one or more chambers in addition to a, preferably bottom-side outlet opening each have a liquid-tight sealable, preferably head-side second chamber opening. Through this Chamber opening, it is possible, for example, to refill stored in this chamber preparation.

The cartridge can take on any spatial form. It can for example be cube-shaped, spherical or plate-like. To provide an immediate optical level control, it is advantageous, the cartridge at least partially from a

to form transparent material.

The cartridge is formed in particular dimensionally stable. However, it is also conceivable to design the cartridge as a flexible packaging such as a tube. Furthermore, it is also possible to use flexible containers such as bags, in particular if they are inserted into a substantially dimensionally stable receptacle in accordance with the bag-in-bottle principle dimensionally stable cartridge designs described - the need to provide a ventilation system for pressure equalization.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the cartridge has an RFID tag that contains at least information about the contents of the cartridge and that can be read by a sensor unit, which may be provided in particular in the metering device or the washing machine. This information can be used, for example, to select a dosing program stored in the dosing unit control unit. In this way it can be ensured that an optimal dosing program is always used for a particular preparation. It can also be provided that in the absence of an RFID tag or an RFID tag with a false or faulty identifier, no metering is done by the metering device and instead an optical or acoustic signal is generated that the user to the present Error indicates.

To preclude misuse of the cartridge, the cartridges may also have structural elements that correspond to corresponding elements of the dispenser after the cartridge

Key lock principle cooperate, so that, for example, only cartridges of a particular type can be coupled to the dosing device. Furthermore, it is possible by this configuration that information about the coupled to the metering cartridge to the

Be transferred to the control unit of the metering device, whereby one on the content of the

Accordingly, the container coordinated control of the metering device can be done.

All preparations stored in the cartridge are free-flowing, since this ensures rapid dissolution of the preparations in the wash liquor, as a result of which these preparations have a rapid effect to achieve immediate cleaning or disinfecting and / or scenting effect, especially on the walls of the washroom and in the wash water lines.

The cartridge usually has a total filling volume of <5,000 ml, in particular <1,000 ml, preferably <500 ml, more preferably <250 ml, most preferably <50 ml. If it has several chambers, the chambers of a cartridge may have the same or different filling volumes. In a configuration with two or three

Chambers, the volume ratio is preferably 4: 1 or 4: 1: 1, wherein the enzyme-containing detergent preparation containing chamber preferably has the largest filling volume of the existing chambers. Preferably, the chambers, which store a peroxycarbonic acid-containing preparation or a fragrance-containing preparation, have approximately the same filling volumes.

The outlet openings arranged on the bottom side are in particular designed such that at least one, preferably all, outlet openings can communicate with the inlet openings of the dosing device, ie preparation via the outlet openings from the cartridge into the dosing device, preferably gravitationally effected, can flow in.

It is also conceivable that one or more chambers have a not arranged in the direction of gravity bottom outlet opening. This is particularly advantageous if, for example, a perfume should be delivered not only to the inside of the washing machine, but also to the environment of the cartridge.

According to a preferred embodiment, the outlet openings of the cartridge are closed by closure means at least in the filled, unopened state of the cartridge. The closure means may be designed such that they allow a single opening of the outlet opening by destruction of the closure means. Such closure means are, for example, sealing foils or caps. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the outlet openings are each provided with a closure that allows in the coupled state with a dispenser outflow of preparation from the respective chambers and in the uncoupled state of the cartridge outflow of preparation in the

Bistable lifting magnets or valves are known in the art. A bistable valve is needed to change valve positions

(open / closed) a pulse and then remains in this position until a counter-pulse is sent to the valve. Therefore, one speaks of a pulse-controlled valve. One

The essential advantage of such pulse-controlled valves is that they do not consume energy to dwell in the valve end positions, the closed position and dispensing position, but only need an energy pulse to change the valve layers, thus the valve end positions are to be considered stable. A bistable valve remains in that switching position, which last received a control signal.

In the context of this application, a closure element is a component on which the actuator acts and which, as a result of this action, causes the opening or the closure of an outlet opening.

Treatment programs in water-bearing household appliances, such as washing and rinsing programs, generally have a characteristic temperature profile, which is determined inter alia by the heating of the washing or rinsing water, which can be detected by a temperature sensor. By means of a vibration sensor, it is for example possible to detect natural oscillations or the resonance of a household appliance with a rotating treatment room, for example, if the washing drum is accelerated to spin the laundry to correspondingly high numbers of revolutions. Thus, it is conceivable to detect by means of a vibration sensor the beginning or the end of a spin cycle. With a motion sensor can - especially if the metering device is provided in the rotating Treatment room of a household appliance to be positioned as the washing drum of a washing machine - to detect the movement of the dosing in the treatment room. For example, the rotation of the washing drum can be detected in the washing program or spinning. In order to determine the degree of soiling of the laundry to be cleaned in the washing machine, a turbidity sensor can also be provided. From this it is also possible, for example, to select a dosing program in the dosing system which is appropriate for the identified contamination situation. It is also conceivable to detect the course of a treatment program of a washing machine with the aid of at least one sound sensor by detecting specific sound and / or vibration emissions, for example during pumping or pumping out of water.

Of course, it is possible for a person skilled in the art to use any suitable combinations of several sensors to achieve a monitoring of a treatment program of a water-conducting domestic appliance.

A control unit in the sense of this application is a device that is suitable, the

Transporting material, energy and / or information to influence. For this purpose, the control unit influences at least one actuator with the aid of information, in particular of measuring signals of the sensor unit, which processes it in the sense of the control target. In particular, at least one sensor is connected to the control unit, wherein it is particularly preferred that the sensor sends a signal to the control unit representing the presence of water in the washing machine and / or the operation of the washing machine.

The metering system 1 consists of a metering device 5 which is detachably coupled to a cartridge which comprises three chambers 3a, 3b, 3c. The cartridge chambers 3a, 3b, 3c can be removed individually from the dosing device 5 in the embodiment shown. Of course, it is also possible to form the cartridge chambers 3a, 3b, 3c as an inseparable cartridge unit.

Within the dosing device 5 is a control unit for controlling the dosing device 5, an energy source, preferably as a battery, accumulator or power plug and a pump that promotes the preparations from the cartridge chambers 3a, 3b, 3c.

At the metering device 5, a fluid line 7 is arranged, through which the pumped by the pump preparation to Einspülschublade 8 of the washing machine 2 are passed. The free, distal end of the fluid line 7 is positioned in the dispenser drawer 8. It is also possible to couple the fluid line 7 by means of an adapter provided with the Einspülschublade 8. This will be discussed in more detail elsewhere. About the Einspülschublade 8 then passes a dosed by the dosing device 5 preparation in the treatment room 6 of the washing machine. 2

At the free, distal end of the fluid line 7 is a conductivity sensor, through which the presence or the flushing of water is detected in the Einspülschublade 8 of the washing machine 2.

In the presence of a corresponding sensor value representing the presence or the flushing in of water, the dosage of at least one of the preparation from the dosing device 5 is determined according to a dosing program stored in the control unit

Cartridge chambers 3a, 3b, 3c preparation to be released a separate fluid line 7a, 7b, 7c is provided. The free distal ends of the fluid lines 7a, 7b, 7c can be positioned in a dispensing chamber of the dispensing drawer 8 or in different dispensing chambers of the dispensing drawer 8.

In principle, it is also conceivable to combine a plurality of dosing devices 5a, 5b, 5c into a dosing system 1, wherein a respective cartridge chamber 3a, 3b, 3c is coupled to each dosing device 5a, 5b, 5c, each with different preparations. This is shown by way of example in FIG. 3. Each of the dosing devices 5a, 5b, 5c has in each case a fluid line 7a, 7b, 7c whose free, distal end open into in each case different dispensing chambers 8a, 8b, 8c of the dispensing drawer 8.

If preparations from the dosing system 1 are to be metered into a dispensing drawer 8 of a washing machine 2, it is advantageous to provide a corresponding adapter 11, as shown by way of example in FIG. 4, by means of which the fluid lines 7a, 7b, 7c in FIG Einspülschublade releasably fixed and with respect to their position relative to the existing Einspülkammern 8a, 8b, 8c of the Einspülschublade 8 are fixed.

In addition to introducing a preparation by means of a fluid line 7 into the treatment chamber 6 via the dispensing drawer 8 of a washing machine 2, it is also possible, as shown in FIG. 5, to prepare by means of a fluid line 7 via the door 9 of the washing machine 2 in the
