Description

The dual purpose accessory that is used for dish-washing machine

The present invention relates to be used for the fitting field of dish-washing machine.

Particularly, the accessory that dish-washing machine is provided with usually is the funnel that is designed to help to fill with salt special-purpose storeroom, and salt is used to be updated periodically the ion exchange resin in the water softener unit.

Therefore, the outfit of funnel means for manufacturer has increased extra cost.In addition, because this accessory and dish-washing machine are separate configuration, thereby must be taken care of separately by the user, the situation that said accessory is lost often taking place, and consider the fact that this accessory just uses once in a while, promptly only when needs are loaded salt, just can use.Therefore, if this accessory is lost, the user has to salt directly is filled in the narrow inlet ozzle of relevant storeroom, and this has certain degree of difficulty, and has the risk that salt could spread out and corrode metal parts on every side.

Therefore, the objective of the invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcoming of prior art.

According to the present invention; This purpose realizes through the accessory that is used for dish-washing machine; Comprise and have the filter element that filters the side and limit a cavity in inside; The bottom of said element is provided with and is designed to allow device that accessory is connected with the inlet ozzle of salt storeroom, and the cross section of the bottom of said cavity attenuates along downward direction.

Normal function according to accessory of the present invention is, and is of prior art, filtration washing water.Therefore, during the normal running of dish-washing machine and during quitting work, this accessory is installed in the top of above-mentioned filter element in a conventional manner, and filter element is positioned on the base plate of washing chamber and the bottom of filter element engages with sump (sump).However, when needs are loaded salt, can element be taken out and be fixed to through the jockey of its bottom the inlet ozzle of salt storeroom in the sump.In this configuration, because the cross section of the inner chamber of accessory is conical, accessory is as funnel and prevent that salt from spreading out the outside of relevant storeroom.

Therefore, funnel no longer need be set as additional components, thus the risk of having saved relevant cost and having avoided accessory to lose.In fact, must be arranged in sump inside according to accessory of the present invention, so that can carry out the function of filtered water, advantage is that this accessory can not take more spaces and can not reduce the volume of washing chamber.

The invention still further relates to a kind of dish-washing machine that is provided with the accessory of the above-mentioned type.

In addition, the present invention relates to the accessory of the above-mentioned type is supplied to the filter of the water in the dish-washing machine and as the use of in the storeroom of dish-washing machine, loading the funnel of salt, occurs in different time and different positions as filter with as funnel as filtration.

Become clear in the detailed description that other advantages of the present invention and characteristic will be hereinafter provide with the limiting examples mode with reference to accompanying drawing, in the accompanying drawing:

Fig. 1 is the perspective view according to accessory of the present invention;

Fig. 2 is the cross-sectional view of the line II-II in Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is the decomposition diagram that illustrates according to the miscellaneous part of the accessory of aforementioned figures and relative dish-washing machine;

Fig. 4 is the cross-sectional view of the line IV-IV in Fig. 3, shows the normal position of accessory according to the present invention in dish-washing machine;

Fig. 5 illustrates accessory according to the present invention to be in the perspective view in the configuration of carrying out the funnel function; And

Fig. 6 is the cross-sectional view of the line VI-VI in Fig. 5.

The accessory that is used for dish-washing machine comprises (Fig. 1 and 2) by having the element 10 that the hollow circular cylinder that filters sidewall 12 forms, and this element limits one towards the top and towards the cavity 14 of bottom opening in inside.Extend from the inner surface of the bottom of sidewall 12 in taper type skirt section 16, makes the cross section of cavity 14 attenuate along downward direction, keeps open in its bottom simultaneously.

The top of element 10 and delivery board 18 are integrally formed.In unshowned embodiment of the present invention, plate 18 mechanically is engaged to element 10 tops.Under any circumstance, plate 18 is provided with clamping device, is specially tenon (tongue) 19, and this clamping device allows easily accessory to be taken out from the position (hereinafter will describe) that is installed in the dish-washing machine.

On the other hand; The bottom of element 10, i.e. 16 belows, skirt section are provided with and are designed to allow that accessory is connected to external member and (are in particular the inlet ozzle; Will be clear from the explanation of hereinafter) device, outstanding tooth 20 constitutes this device by a plurality of circumferentially spaceds and from this bottom.For example, tooth 20 can be equidistant, and quantity is three.

During the normal running of dish-washing machine; Accessory is placed (Fig. 3 and 4) and is become to be positioned on the plate 21 that limits the bottom, washing chamber; Filter element 10 engages with sump 22; Be specially and be inserted into cylindrical chamber 24 inside that are connected to pump by passage 26 hermetically, it is indoor that the water after said pump will filter carries back scrubbing to wash, and these are not shown in the accompanying drawings.Plate 18 places the bottom of this chamber, thereby can the water that drop on its top be delivered to filter element 10.Fig. 3 and 4 also shows outer cover 28, and this outer cover removably is arranged in the inner chamber 14 inner prefilters that also are used as the coarse impurity of filtering of filter element 10.Outer cover 28 also is provided with the outstanding head 29 that keeps accessory and sump 22 to be assembled together.

Therefore, on the whole, the installation method of accessory is traditional and similar with known filter with its mode of carrying out filtering function fully.

On the other hand; When needs are loaded salt in relevant storeroom; With the cavity 24 interior tops (Fig. 5 and 6) of taking out and being arranged in the inlet ozzle 30 of salt storeroom of element 10 from sump 22, outstanding lid 32 (Fig. 3) removes from the salt storeroom in sump 22 usually.Accessory is through outstanding tooth 20 is fixed in inlet ozzle 30 from the bottom of filter element 10.Tooth 20 can engage with the inner surface and/or the outer surface of inlet ozzle 30.

In this configuration, because skirt section 16 makes the cross section of inner chamber 14 of accessory attenuate and be provided with plate 18, so accessory as funnel, can drop to the outside of inlet ozzle 30 thereby prevent to pour into operating period salt.In case accomplish these operations, can its normal position in sump 22 inside removed and be arranged in to accessory from the inlet ozzle, and the risk of not losing.

Obviously, under the situation of not revising principle of the present invention, CONSTRUCTED SPECIFICATION and embodiment can be made bigger change with respect to the explanation of only carrying out with instance, thereby can not break away from the scope of claim protection.
