A method for operating a water-bearing household appliance for treating articles, in particular a dishwasher or washing machine, the water-bearing household appliance including a treatment chamber for treating the articles with a washing liquor and a dosing system for dispensing a dosing-amount of detergent provided by a dosing unit, the method comprising: selecting one of a plurality of different treatment cycles, controlling the water-bearing household appliance to perform the selected treatment cycle, actuating the dosing system to dispense the dosing-amount of detergent according to the selected treatment cycle, detecting a sensor signal of the dispensed dosing-amount of detergent, adjusting the selected treatment cycle as a function of the detected sensor signal, and controlling the water-bearing household appliance to perform the adjusted treatment cycle.

Method for operating a water-bearing household appliance and water-bearing household appliance

A dosing unit for use in an automatic dosing system of a water-bearing household appliance, for automatically dosing a dosing amount of a solid detergent, the dosing unit comprising a dosing cartridge for storing a bulk of the solid detergent and a dosing device for separating the dosing amount from the bulk and releasing the separated dosing amount by linearly displacing a sliding element from a separating position to a release position, wherein the dosing device includes a dosing channel, wherein, when the sliding element is in the separating position, the dosing channel is configured for receiving at least the dosing amount from the bulk and intermediately storing the dosing amount in a pre-dosing position, and, when the sliding element is in the release position, the dosing device is configured for releasing the dosing amount intermediately stored in the pre-dosing position.

Dosing unit, water bearing household appliance and method

A dosing unit for automatically dosing at least one detergent tablet provided by a storage cartridge for storing a plurality of detergent tablets, for use in an automatic dosing system of a water-bearing household appliance, wherein the storage cartridge comprises a container with a bottom side forming an inclination angle with a horizontal direction when the dosing unit is arranged as intended for use, wherein an outlet is formed in the container at a lower end of the bottom side, such that detergent tablets on the bottom side move towards the outlet driven by gravity (G), and wherein a dosing device is attached to the storage cartridge on the outlet, the dosing device including a scoop and a plug, wherein the scoop is configured to separate a detergent tablet from the plurality and transport the separated detergent tablet to a receiving chamber formed in the plug when the scoop is turned in a first turning direction about a rotational axis (X) that is parallel to the bottom side, and the plug is configured to release the detergent tablet from the receiving chamber.

Dosing unit and water-bearing household appliance with an automatic dosing system

The invention relates to a dosing device for dosing a detergent tablet provided by a storage cartridge to which the dosing device is attachable, the dosing device comprising a scoop and a plug, wherein the scoop is configured to pick up a detergent tablet from the storage cartridge, lift the detergent tablet to an opening in the scoop and transport the detergent tablet to a receiving chamber formed in the plug when scoop is turned in a first turning direction about a rotational axis that crosses a gravitational vector, and the plug is configured to release the detergent tablet from the receiving chamber.

Dosing device, storage cartridge, dosing unit and water-bearing household appliance with an automatic dosing system

A dosing device or system for dispensing tablets, which can include at least one active ingredient for an automatic washing process, into an automatic washing machine, wherein the dosing device or system is for dispensing one or more, but not all, of the tablets at once into the automatic washing machine, and wherein the dosing device or system can be for dispensing only one tablet at once.

Dosing device and system

Disclosed is an in-the-bowl dispensing device designed to dispense a composition after the flush of the toilet bowl is complete. In this manner the composition is retained in the toilet bowl until the toilet bowl is flushed by the next user.

In-the-bowl dispensing device

The invention relates to an electronic smoking device () and an additive reservoir (). In order to be able to supply additive to liquid atomized by the electronic smoking device () at the user's choice, the electronic smoking device () comprises an additive inlet conduit () and the additive reservoir () comprises an additive outlet opening () that can be brought into communication with the additive inlet conduit ().
