Dishwasher comprising a liquid/gel dosing unit

Abstract

The present invention relates to a dishwasher comprising a body; a washing cabin disposed on the body; a detergent dispenser detachably mounted on the body; a detergent receptacle disposed inside the detergent dispenser; a scaling receptacle disposed next to the detergent receptacle wherein the detergent; a first opening arranged between the detergent receptacle and the scaling receptacle and that enables the detergent to be transferred from the detergent receptacle to the scaling receptacle; a second opening arranged between the scaling receptacle and the washing cabin and that enables the detergent to be transferred from the scaling receptacle to the washing cabin, and a dosing mechanism disposed between the detergent receptacle and the scaling receptacle and that enables the detergent to be transferred from the detergent receptacle towards the washing cabin by controlling opening/closing of the first opening and the second opening.

1 . A dishwasher comprising a body; a washing cabin disposed on the body and wherein the washing process is performed; a detergent dispenser that is detachably mounted on the body and wherein liquid/gel detergent can be filled; a detergent receptacle that is disposed inside the detergent dispenser and wherein detergent is filled; a scaling receptacle that is disposed next to the detergent receptacle and wherein the detergent to be used in the washing process is transferred from the detergent receptacle and collected; at least one first opening that is arranged between the detergent receptacle and the scaling receptacle and that enables the detergent to be transferred from the detergent receptacle to the scaling receptacle; at least one second opening that is arranged between the scaling receptacle and the washing cabin and that enables the detergent to be transferred from the scaling receptacle to the washing cabin; at least one gasket that is seated on each opening and that provides leak proofing, and a dosing mechanism that is disposed between the detergent receptacle and the scaling receptacle and that enables the detergent to be transferred from the detergent receptacle towards the washing cabin by controlling opening/closing of the first opening and the second opening, a first valve having a gasket thereon for closing the first opening, a second valve having a gasket for closing the second opening, and wherein the dosing mechanism enables at least one opening to be almost entirely closed during transfer of detergent from the detergent receptacle to the washing cabin. 
     
     
         2 . A dishwasher as in  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a crankshaft disposed on the detergent receptacle, in the direction of the first opening and the second opening,   a piston rod, one end of which is fastened to the crankshaft, the other end extending towards the scaling receptacle,   a first support member, one end of which is fastened to the piston rod, moving in the vertical direction,   a second support member that is connected to the first support member, that has the second valve thereon and that moves together with the first support member in the vertical direction,   the first valve mounted to the second support member so as to move on the second support member, and   a first spring disposed between the first support member and the second support member and a second spring disposed between the first valve and the second valve.   
     
     
         3 . A dishwasher as in  claim 1 , wherein the dosing mechanism comprises a stopper that is disposed on the first support member, that exerts pressure on the first valve when the piston rod moves downwards and that enables the first valve to compress the second spring and the first opening to be opened. 
     
     
         4 . A dishwasher as in  claim 2 , wherein the dosing mechanism comprising comprises a grasper that is disposed on the first support member, that grasps the second support member when the piston rod moves upwards and enables the same to move in the upward direction and that enables the second spring to be compressed between the first valve and the second valve. 
     
     
         5 . A dishwasher as in  claim 2 , wherein the dosing mechanism enables the first opening and the second opening to be closed at the same time as the piston rod moves on the crankshaft between the lowest and highest points. 
     
     
         6 . A dishwasher as in  claim 2 , wherein the first spring pushes the second valve downwards while the piston rod moves on the crankshaft between the lowest and highest points. 
     
     
         7 . A dishwasher as in  claim 2 , wherein the second spring pushes the first valve upwards while the piston rod moves on the crankshaft between the lowest and highest points. 
     
     
         8 . A dishwasher as in  claim 2 , wherein a motor enables the crankshaft to move. 
     
     
         9 . A dishwasher as in  claim 2 , wherein the dosing mechanism enables one dose of detergent to reach the washing cabin as the piston rod completes one full rotation on the crankshaft.
