技术领域technical field
本发明涉及一种用于具有用于接收和供应浓缩洗衣合成物的抽屉的洗衣机的分配装置。The present invention relates to a dispensing device for a washing machine having a drawer for receiving and supplying concentrated laundry composition.
背景技术Background technique
很多自动洗衣机包括盒形凹部和可滑动地安装在所述凹部内的抽屉。抽屉设置多个单独隔室，以便容纳通过流入水冲刷而流入洗涤容器的洗涤和/或清洗产品。Many automatic washing machines include a box-shaped recess and a drawer slidably mounted within the recess. The drawer is provided with a plurality of individual compartments to contain washing and/or cleaning products flushed by the inflow water into the washing container.
浓缩洗衣合成物就减小资金和环境成本而言提供了巨大益处。但是，准确的剂量是必要的，因为即使少量的过量也具有很大影响。经由抽屉准确地剂量可流动液体或凝胶合成物是困难的，在剂量杯中预先测量并灌注到抽屉的缺点是可流动液体，特别是厚的液体会留下残留物，这意味着剂量可能是不正确的。一种替代是使用例如计量分配装置的测量的剂量装置，但是这些由于材料量增加和设计复杂而在资金和环境上是昂贵的。Concentrated laundry compositions offer great benefits in terms of reduced capital and environmental costs. However, accurate dosing is essential because even a small excess can have large effects. Accurate dosing of flowable liquid or gel compositions via the drawer is difficult, the disadvantage of pre-measuring in a dosing cup and pouring into the drawer is that flowable liquids, especially thick liquids, leave a residue which means the dose may is incorrect. An alternative is to use metered dosing devices such as metered dispensing devices, but these are financially and environmentally expensive due to increased material volume and complex design.
发明内容Contents of the invention
一个目的是提供一种用于带抽屉的自动洗衣机中的浓缩可流动洗衣合成物的改善的分配装置。It is an object to provide an improved dispensing device for concentrated flowable laundry compositions in automatic washing machines with drawers.
相应地，在第一方面，本发明提供一种抽屉衬垫分配器，其优选是可移除的，用于经由洗衣机的抽屉分配浓缩可流动洗衣合成物。Accordingly, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a drawer liner dispenser, preferably removable, for dispensing concentrated flowable laundry composition via a drawer of a washing machine.

在第四方面，本发明提供一种包括用于接收和供应洗衣合成物(包括浓缩可流动洗衣合成物)的抽屉的洗衣机，所述抽屉容纳根据本发明第一方面的抽屉衬垫分配器。In a fourth aspect, the present invention provides a washing machine comprising a drawer for receiving and supplying laundry composition, including concentrated flowable laundry composition, the drawer housing a drawer liner dispenser according to the first aspect of the invention.
采用这种配置，经由抽屉在洗衣机内分配浓缩可流动洗衣合成物可通过向抽屉衬垫分配器剂量而方便地实现。抽屉衬垫分配器可以已经在抽屉中或者可以在抽屉外，以便在合成物已经被转移后放置在抽屉中。With this arrangement, dispensing concentrated flowable laundry composition in the washing machine via the drawer is conveniently accomplished by dosing the drawer liner dispenser. The drawer liner dispenser can be already in the drawer or can be outside the drawer to be placed in the drawer after the composition has been transferred.
第三方面优选地包括根据第二方面的使用说明。The third aspect preferably includes instructions for use according to the second aspect.
优选地，抽屉衬垫分配器包括测量标记，使得可以在合成物被转移到抽屉衬垫分配器中或者上时对合成物进行测量。这使得主包装上的测量分配装置变得不必要。Preferably, the drawer liner dispenser includes measurement indicia such that the composition can be measured as it is being transferred into or onto the drawer liner dispenser. This makes measuring dispensers on the main packaging unnecessary.
对于堆积的高黏性合成物，测量标记可以是具有根据合成物的黏性校准的区域的形状，使得只要所述合成物通过灌注、挤压或者泵送等被转移到所述形状上就剂量预定体积，直到所述形状被合成物覆盖。For stacked highly viscous compositions, the measurement markers may be shapes with areas calibrated according to the viscosity of the composition, so that the dose will be dosed as soon as the composition is transferred to the shape by pouring, squeezing or pumping, etc. Bookmark the volume until the shape is covered with composition.

The shape may be a marker indicating one or more start points and/or one or more end points.
洗衣机抽屉通常包括多个隔室，可流动洗衣合成物根据其类型，例如是主洗涤洗涤剂、预洗涤洗涤剂、漂洗调理剂、漂白剂等分配到所述多个隔室。抽屉衬垫分配器优选被构造成用于放置一个或多个这种隔室。当抽屉包括这种隔室时，本说明书中的术语抽屉应当被理解为指的是这些隔室。Washing machine drawers typically include a plurality of compartments into which flowable laundry composition is dispensed according to its type, eg main wash detergent, prewash detergent, rinse conditioner, bleach, etc. The drawer liner dispenser is preferably configured for placement of one or more such compartments. When a drawer comprises such compartments, the term drawer in this description should be understood to refer to these compartments.
抽屉衬垫分配器可包括倾斜壁，在使用中(当所述装置被放置在抽屉中时)，所述倾斜壁相对于所述抽屉的基部以钝角倾斜。该特征的好处是壁的存在限制了剂量过程中可流动合成物的流动，使得整个剂量保持可见，但使得装置能够在水流出抽屉的方向上通过竖向力(例如来自从向上位置供给到抽屉中的水入口管的水)翻倒，从而壁将趋于与基部更加对准地放置，优选贴靠基部平放，以允许可流动合成物与供给水一起朝着机器的洗涤容器(滚筒)排出。在水流停止并且抽屉衬垫装置被排空后，它弹回到直立位置，且倾斜壁回到最初保持位置。The drawer liner dispenser may comprise an inclined wall which, in use (when the device is placed in the drawer), is inclined at an obtuse angle relative to the base of the drawer. The benefit of this feature is that the presence of the wall restricts the flow of the flowable composition during dosing, so that the entire dose remains visible, but enables the device to pass a vertical force in the direction of water flow out of the drawer (for example from feeding into the drawer from an upward position). the water in the water inlet pipe) tip over so that the wall will tend to lie in more alignment with the base, preferably laying flat against the base to allow the flowable composition along with the water supply towards the machine's wash container (drum) discharge. After the flow of water stops and the drawer liner is emptied, it springs back to the upright position and the sloped walls return to the original holding position.
所述装置可以被构造成是不稳定的(例如通过凹的基部)以促进这种翻倒。The device may be configured to be unstable (eg, by a concave base) to facilitate such tipping.
抽屉衬垫分配器可包括可折叠结构，其平地设置(从而可与合成物更加经济地运输)，具有用于消费者在购买后进行装配的说明。可以具有一个或多个折叠线以允许构造抽屉衬垫分配器。可以具有一个或多个折叠线以提供如上所述的倾斜壁。The drawer liner dispenser may include a collapsible structure that lays flat (so that it can be shipped more economically with the composition) with instructions for assembly by the consumer after purchase. There may be one or more fold lines to allow construction of the drawer liner dispenser. There may be one or more fold lines to provide sloped walls as described above.
所述装置可结合有可动壁，其中在第一位置，所述可动壁是直立的以限制剂量过程中可流动合成物的流动，在第二位置，所述可动壁相对于抽屉的基部以钝角倾斜或者平地贴靠抽屉的基部。The device may incorporate a movable wall, wherein in a first position, the movable wall is upright to limit the flow of the flowable composition during a dose, and in a second position, the movable wall is relative to the drawer. The base slopes at an obtuse angle or lies flat against the base of the drawer.
所述装置优选包括至少一个或多个柔性壁，以允许方便地安装到不同尺寸的抽屉或者抽屉隔室中。The device preferably comprises at least one or more flexible walls to allow easy installation into drawers or drawer compartments of different sizes.
抽屉衬垫装置优选是能够重复使用的，如此优选的是装置包括不溶于水的材料，例如聚烯烃，像聚丙烯(PP)、聚乙烯(PE)、聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)。平滑表面是优选的，因为它们防止合成物被不必要地保持。The drawer liner unit is preferably reusable, so it is preferred that the unit comprises a water-insoluble material, such as a polyolefin, like polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate ( PET). Smooth surfaces are preferred as they prevent the composition from being held unnecessarily.
装置是能够移除的，但是它可以包括针对单次或多次洗涤将所述装置保持就位的临时装置，例如贴靠抽屉的侧部柔曲的柔性壁或者甚至是粘合剂。The device is removable, but it may include temporary means to hold the device in place for single or multiple washes, such as flexible walls or even adhesives that flex against the sides of the drawer.
可流动洗衣合成物可以是工业或家庭织物洗涤或织物调理合成物和/或洗涤和调理合成物(所谓的通用洗涤调理合成物)和/或织物护理合成物。The flowable laundry composition may be an industrial or domestic fabric washing or fabric conditioning composition and/or a washing and conditioning composition (so-called all-purpose laundry conditioning composition) and/or a fabric care composition.
可流动合成物可以是液体或者凝胶或者可以是颗粒产品。“颗粒”在这里指的是包括粉末、团块、小粒。The flowable composition may be a liquid or gel or may be a granular product. "Particulates" is meant herein to include powders, agglomerates, and pellets.
附图说明Description of drawings
现在参考附图更特别地描述本发明的多种非限定实施方式，附图中：Various non-limiting embodiments of the invention will now be described more particularly with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
图1显示根据本发明一种实施方式的第一抽屉衬垫分配器。Figure 1 shows a first drawer liner dispenser according to one embodiment of the present invention.
具体实施方式detailed description
参照图1，可移除的抽屉衬垫分配器1用于经由洗衣机7的抽屉4(具有隔室5)分配浓缩可流动洗衣合成物3。Referring to FIG. 1 , a removable drawer liner dispenser 1 is used to dispense concentrated flowable laundry composition 3 via a drawer 4 (having a compartment 5 ) of a washing machine 7 .
采用这种配置，经由抽屉隔室5在洗衣机7内分配浓缩可流动洗衣合成物3可通过向抽屉衬垫分配器1中剂量而方便地实现。抽屉衬垫分配器1可以已经在抽屉隔室5中或者可以在其他位置，以便在合成物3已经被转移后放置在抽屉隔室5中。With this arrangement, dispensing concentrated flowable laundry composition 3 within the washing machine 7 via the drawer compartment 5 is conveniently accomplished by dosing the drawer liner dispenser 1 . The drawer liner dispenser 1 may already be in the drawer compartment 5 or may be in another location to be placed in the drawer compartment 5 after the composition 3 has been transferred.
抽屉衬垫分配器1包括测量标记(未显示)，使得可以在合成物被转移到抽屉衬垫分配器中或者上时对合成物进行测量。这使得主包装上的测量分配装置变得不必要。The drawer liner dispenser 1 includes measurement marks (not shown) so that the composition can be measured as it is being transferred into or onto the drawer liner dispenser. This makes measuring dispensers on the main packaging unnecessary.
抽屉衬垫分配器包括倾斜壁9，在使用中(当装置放置在抽屉中时)，倾斜壁9相对于抽屉隔室5的基部11以钝角倾斜。该特征的好处是壁9的存在限制了剂量过程中可流动合成物3的流动，使得整个剂量保持可见，但使得抽屉衬垫分配器能够在水流出抽屉的方向上通过竖向力(例如来自从向上位置供给到抽屉中的水入口管的水15)翻倒，从而壁9将趋于与基部11更加对准地放置并允许可流动合成物3与以正常方式离开抽屉的供给水15一起朝着机器(未显示)的洗涤容器(滚筒)排出。在水流15停止并且抽屉衬垫装置1被排空后，它弹回到直立位置，且倾斜壁9回到最初保持位置。抽屉衬垫分配器1被构造成是不稳定的(通过凹的基部17)以促进这种翻倒。The drawer liner dispenser comprises an inclined wall 9 which, in use (when the device is placed in a drawer), is inclined at an obtuse angle relative to the base 11 of the drawer compartment 5 . The benefit of this feature is that the presence of the wall 9 restricts the flow of the flowable composition 3 during a dose, so that the entire dose remains visible, but enables the drawer liner dispenser to pass a vertical force in the direction of water flow out of the drawer (e.g. from The water 15) supplied to the water inlet pipe in the drawer from the upward position will tip over so that the wall 9 will tend to be placed in more alignment with the base 11 and allow the flowable composition 3 together with the supply of water 15 leaving the drawer in the normal way Discharge towards the wash container (drum) of the machine (not shown). After the water flow 15 stops and the drawer liner 1 is emptied, it springs back to the upright position and the inclined wall 9 returns to the original holding position. The drawer liner dispenser 1 is constructed to be unstable (by the concave base 17) to facilitate such tipping.
所述装置包括柔性壁，以方便安装在不同尺寸的抽屉或抽屉隔室中。抽屉衬垫装置优选是能够重复使用的，如此优选的是装置包括不溶于水的材料，例如聚烯烃，像聚丙烯(PP)、聚乙烯(PE)、聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)。平滑表面是优选的，因为它们防止合成物被不必要地保持。The device includes flexible walls to facilitate installation in drawers or drawer compartments of different sizes. The drawer liner unit is preferably reusable, so it is preferred that the unit comprises a water-insoluble material, such as a polyolefin, like polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate ( PET). Smooth surfaces are preferred as they prevent the composition from being held unnecessarily.
可流动洗衣合成物可以是工业或家庭织物洗涤或织物调理合成物和/或洗涤和调理合成物(所谓的通用洗涤调理合成物)和/或织物护理合成物。The flowable laundry composition may be an industrial or domestic fabric washing or fabric conditioning composition and/or a washing and conditioning composition (so-called all-purpose laundry conditioning composition) and/or a fabric care composition.
可流动合成物可以是液体或者凝胶或者可以是颗粒产品。“颗粒”在这里指的是包括粉末、团块、小粒。The flowable composition may be a liquid or gel or may be a granular product. "Particulates" is meant herein to include powders, agglomerates, and pellets.
