Detailed description of the invention
Photosensitive component can provide in different forms in dish and laundry detergent formulations or with described dish and medicated clothing Detergent formulations provides together.Such as, photosensitizing chemical material can be in the powder prepared completely, liquid, gel or unit dose Soluble sachet provides.Photosensitizing chemical material can also be in compositions separate with the dish prepared completely or laundry detergent compositions Middle offer.If provided as separate compositions, this compositions with photosensitizing chemical material can be in the washing prepared completely Agent has been in the suds before, during or after being delivered and has delivered.
In order to utilize the laundry detergent composition and composition of detergent comprising photosensitive component, expect to provide light source.Light Source integrally can provide with dish washing machine or washing machine for clothes.Additionally, light source can be washed by dish washing machine or medicated clothing Wash machine bulk supply.Light source produces electromagnetic radiation.
Utensil can be provided with one or more watertight light fitting, and this light fixture is shining in rack, and this rack accommodates the most cleaned Substrate.This light fixture can be recessed in cabinet walls, top board or base plate, and guides in light entrance rack.Situation at dish washing machine In, light can irradiate wash liquid and any photosensitive component within it provided, and this time just travels to through various distribution arrays On cleaned dish.
Similarly, for washing machine for clothes, in watertight light fitting can be shining into the rack accommodating washing rotating cylinder or in rotating cylinder itself. Such as, in vertical type washing machine, the lamp of depression may be provided in drum wall, and photoconduction is guided into rotating cylinder central authorities.Lamp can be towards Rotating cylinder bottom so that when rotating cylinder is filled up completely with or is partially filled with the wash liquid comprising photosensitive component, light irradiation washs Liquid is to activate photosensitive component.Certainly, lamp is attachable to the top doors on vertical type washing machine for clothes, or is positioned in top doors, And light is guided in downwards on wash liquid or exit, water is assigned to rotating cylinder from this outlet.There is the clothing of perforated cylinder In thing washing machine, this type of rotating cylinder accommodates in the housing, and this housing is the parts accommodating wash liquid.It is advantageous to lamp and be shining into this Any photosensitive component provided in wash liquid with activation in housing.This layout can make the technical elements providing light simpler It is single, because lamp need not come in contact with the goods being washed.
Also when wash liquid is stored in the reservoir of utensil, or pump, conduit or other liquid biography can be moved through During defeated element, or time movable within, light source is made to be radiated on wash liquid.This method is desired so that be just cleaned by Goods do not block light and irradiate the photosensitive component in wash liquid.
The photolytic activity of various photosensitive components can be change.Such as, some photosensitive components can be by ultraviolet light and/or can See that light activates.If UV-activated photosensitive component, actual is to make light source be positioned in utensil so that consumer is not Can visual touch light source.The optimal presentation mode of this layout be when wash liquid during circulating by conduit time make light irradiate On wash liquid.Can be done relatively easily and build the utensil being constructed so as to.But, if light depth of origin is embedded in utensil, then In the case of light source burns out or breaks down, change light source be for consumers likely to be of challenge.
If light source is in the rotating cylinder of utensil or in the top board or base plate of utensil, burn out at lamp the most for consumers Or in the case of breaking down, can relatively easily change light source.Light source is so placed some challenges of existence.First, if made With ultraviolet light, it may be necessary to use within the appliance and sufficiently control to guarantee that ultraviolet light will not be opened when the door of utensil is opened Dynamic.Second, waterproof sealing mechanism must be the most strong so that seepage and skill will not occur after consumer changes light source Enough simply so that ordinary consumer can change light source in art.
Light source can be one or more light emitting diode, incandescent osram lamp, Hg (Ar) uviol lamp, fluorescent lamp, compact Type fluorescent lamp, cold cathode fluorescence lamp, high intensity discharge or other this type of light source.Light source needs to have to be coordinated with photosensitive component Wavelength or wave-length coverage spectrum coordinate some spectrum.
Another optional method is to make light source away from washing point, and passes light through optical fiber cable or other transmission means It is sent at the goods that wash liquid contact is just being cleaned by from light source.
In view of above complexity, it will therefore be apparent that the utensil being constructed without inner lighting system is repacked into and includes by device The illuminator of tool power supply itself is infeasible on cost and cheap property.The option overcoming this challenge is to provide consumption Person can put into the portable light source in utensil.
