Description

The invention relates to a dishwasher, in particular a household dishwasher, with a washing container for holding dishes, cutlery or similar items to be cleaned, which can be closed by a door that is movable relative to the washing container, for sealing between the door and an edge assigned to the front of the washing container , the so-called container snout, at least one seal running with a transverse component is provided, and wherein said edge is designed for an outflow or overflow of liquid from the washing container towards its front side if necessary and for intercepting the outflow or overflow of liquid from the washing container Below the edge at least one liquid line is provided which introduces into a base area of the dishwasher that reaches underneath the washing container.

Such a seal, which runs with a transverse component, between the door and an edge assigned to the front of the washing container, the container snout, preferably extends in the width direction of the washing container (when viewed from the front).

• - Im ersten Fehlerfall steigt etwa bei permanent weitergehendem und ungestopptem Flüssigkeitseinlauf, insbesondere Wassereinlauf, in den Spülbehälter, wie zum Beispiel aus einer Hausanschluss-Wasserleitung, das Flüssigkeitsniveau, insbesondere Wasserniveau, über die untere Dichtung zwischen der Tür und der Behälterschnauze, so dass Flüssigkeit, insbesondere Wasser, über die Dichtung und damit über die Behälterschnauze läuft.
• - Im zweiten Fehlerfall kann sich schon bei einem relativ niedrigen Flüssigkeitsniveau in dem Spülbehälter eine Kapillarwirkung einstellen, welche dafür sorgt, dass eine auf die Behälterschnauze (und gegebenenfalls das untere Türende) aufgesteckte Dichtung unterlaufen wird und somit Flüssigkeit wie zum Beispiel Wasser und/oder Spülflotte ungewollt über den vorderen Rand des Spülbehälters läuft.

In practice, two different error or need cases can cause liquid, in particular water and/or rinsing liquor, to flow out or overflow through the container spout:

• - In the first case of error, for example, if the liquid inlet, in particular water, continues to flow continuously and unstoppably into the washing container, such as from a house connection water pipe, the liquid level, in particular the water level, rises above the lower seal between the door and the container spout, so that liquid, especially water, runs over the seal and thus over the container spout.
• - In the second case of error, a capillary effect can occur even at a relatively low liquid level in the washing container, which ensures that a seal attached to the container spout (and possibly the lower door end) is undermined and thus liquid such as water and/or washing liquid unintentionally runs over the front edge of the washing container.

It is, among other things, expedient to provide at least two defined outflow structures in the form of spouts on the front of the container snout for overflow if necessary and to suspend channels as liquid lines on the container snout that lead down to the front and in front of these outflow structures in a base. However, this can only deal with the first error case, in which the seal is overflowed. There is no remedy for the second-mentioned error case.

The publication DE 10 2010 043 465 A1 discloses a dishwasher, in particular a household dishwasher, with a washing container for holding items to be washed, which has a loading opening arranged on a front side of the dishwasher, the lower boundary of which is formed by a container snout raised from a washing container base, with a horizontal one running around a in its lower region Axis pivotable door for closing the loading opening, a door snout being formed on a lower side of the door, which reaches behind the container snout when viewed from the front, and with a door seal for sealing a gap between the door snout and the container snout, which has a door fastening section for Attaching to the door, a container fastening section for attaching to the washing container and a sealing strip arranged between them and deforming when the door is pivoted. The door seal is formed in one piece using a multi-step, multi-component process, in which a first plastic component is primary formed in a first step and a second plastic component is primary formed in a second step.

The publication DE 10 2006 029 949 A1 discloses a front-loading washing machine with a collecting device for leakage water arranged on the floor and with an opening in the housing of the washing machine arranged near the floor, which enables access to parts of the interior of the washing machine close to the floor. A device is arranged in the opening, which is suitable for collecting water running down onto it from above the device and which is designed in such a way that, when the machine is set up horizontally, it directs collected water to the collecting device arranged on the floor. The device can have a shell that is open at the top and is located vertically below any leakage that may occur in the front wall of the housing. Furthermore, the shell can comprise a channel which is hydraulically connected to the shell and whose deepest line area has a drain. Furthermore, the drain can be arranged vertically above a collecting pipe in the floor, which leads to a leakage water signaling device.

The publication JP 2001-204 673 A2 discloses a dishwasher comprising a washing container for receiving dishes and for washing the dishes, a dish inlet/outlet formed by opening the front side wall of the washing container, a door connected to the lower position of the inlet/outlet via a hinge is to freely open and close the inlet/outlet and seal the washing container by contacting the peripheral edge of the inlet/outlet via a sealing member, and a cup-like water receiving tray provided at a lower position of the inlet/outlet to out to collect water escaping from the washing container, wherein the bowl-like water receiving trough is provided at a lower position of the inlet/outlet and wherein a step slot is formed at a lower position of the door. In the dishwasher with a trough-like water receiving tray which is provided at a lower position of the washing container to collect water emerging from the washing container and with a step opening formed at a lower position of the door, the trough-like water receiving tray extends above the step opening along the lower edge of the sealing member at a lower position of the insertion/extraction opening, and when water exits from the sealing part through the sealing member, the trough-like water receiving cup extends above the step opening, and when water exits from the washing container, the trough-like water receiving cup extends above the step opening. The dishwasher has a trough-shaped inlet/outlet water receiving part which receives water which drips or flows downward from the sealing part when water in the washing tank leaks from the sealing part, and an outlet channel which discharges the water from the inlet/outlet water receiving part Water intake tray directs.

The publication DE 20 2010 009 247 U1 discloses an integrated protection component for a dishwasher, containing devices which enable its installation on the front part of the base of the dishwasher, and devices for forwarding the leakage water to a safety device against flooding. The integrated component may also contain a flood safety device. Furthermore, the safety device can contain a float element stored in a chamber, the outlet opening of a drain channel and a switch being located in the chamber, which can be actuated by the float element when the water reaches a predetermined level in the chamber and thereby causes the float element to be raised . Furthermore, the drainage devices can include a hollow part, with a front plate and a rear plate, which delimit a cavity which is open at the top and at the bottom of which there is the inlet opening of a drainage channel for the water accumulated in the cavity.

The publication EP 1 836 943 A2 discloses a safety system against flooding for a dishwasher, comprising a collection chamber for water leakage with an opening for the flow of this water and a narrow opening for the flow of this water into an auxiliary chamber, an element which is arranged in the collection chamber and is capable of to float on the water collecting therein, and a switch which is arranged above this float element and is capable of being actuated by this float element when the water reaches a predetermined level within the chamber, thereby causing the float element rises. It is envisaged that the collection chamber is stationary and that the float element is a single element and is also capable of floating on the water which collects in the auxiliary chamber, thus causing the switch to be actuated when the Water reaches a predetermined level within the auxiliary chamber. The collection chamber may be delimited by a substantially annular wall in which the water inlet and outlet openings are created. Further, the float element may be in the form of a disc having in its lower surface a circular groove having a diameter corresponding to that of the annular wall and into which the upper edge of the annular wall is inserted, the groove being circular area inside and a ring around its outside, the ring having a hollow portion disposed at a position corresponding to that of the water inlet opening.

The invention is based on the problem of achieving an improvement here.

The invention solves this problem by a dishwasher with the features of claim 1. Further advantages and features as well as further developments of the invention are specified in claims 2 to 13, the features of which can each be implemented individually or in combination with one another.

With the invention, a dishwasher is created which, in order to intercept the outflow or overflow of liquid from the washing container, at least almost completely extends under the width of the edge, that is to say the container snout, and from the front Discharge surface leading to the rear is provided, not only provides individual channels for liquid drainage, in particular water drainage, but can intercept overflowing liquid over the entire or almost entire width of the container snout and direct it backwards into the base of the dishwasher. An additional or separate - also visually disturbing - overflow channel outside in front of the container mouth is not necessary and can be saved. A separate shaft, hose, channel or similar, which leads to the rear of the base of the dishwasher, is no longer necessary, as the drainage surface itself leads to the rear of the base. In this respect, material and assembly costs are also saved. By dispensing with hose lines, channels or the like, there are no longer any cross-sectional constrictions in the overflow system, so that reliable liquid removal, in particular water removal, is ensured even in the event of error 1 with a maximum volume flow of any liquid emerging from the washing container.

In the context of the invention, the term “necessary outflow or overflow” is understood to mean, in particular, an escape of liquid from the washing container in the event of a fault. This also includes the error case in which liquid escapes from the interior of the washing container to the outside due to capillary effects via the lower door transverse seal between it and the container snout.

The drainage surface is advantageously inclined from the front to the rear by at least 2° relative to the horizontal, so that even if the dishwasher is tilted slightly forward, water drainage to the rear is ensured.

It is also advantageous if the diverting surface is provided with a raised edge, in particular a folded edge, on its edge facing the front, in order to avoid unwanted overflow to the front onto the kitchen floor, even with larger quantities of liquid that has escaped or overflowed from the washing container can. The same applies to the transverse edges of the sliding surface.

In particular, the container snout can have at least two defined outflow structures on its front side, such as spouts, recesses or the like, for an overflow if necessary, and the diverter surface there can be provided opposite on its front edge, in particular with raised structures, in order to avoid splashing water or splashing water through these elevations. which could leak forward.

Furthermore, if the container snout has at least two of the said outflow structures on its front side for an overflow if necessary, the discharge surface below these outflow structures can be provided with at least one rear-facing line channel or similar, linear structures in order to ensure that the discharge structures in the area of the outflow structures liquid hitting the discharge surface, which is arranged below the container snout, is drained backwards in a controlled manner in narrow lines without it being distributed over the entire discharge surface. This means that a safety device in the bottom of the base can react very quickly and even to small amounts of water. On the other hand, with larger amounts of water, these linear structures can also be overflowed, so that they do not form a narrowing of the cross-section.

The diverting surface extends particularly favorably from its front edge assigned to the front towards the rear to a sloping back surface, the back surface being located within the contour of the base area. The back surface and the diverting surface can be designed in one piece with one another, in particular to simplify assembly.

If the back surface ends downwards in at least one drip edge, from which liquid absorbed, such as water, can be dripped down in a defined manner into the base of the dishwasher, this water can be defined there and quickly fed to a safety device, for example via one in the floor arranged guidance aid so that the safety device reacts quickly.

In particular, the back surface can be provided with one or more guide aids leading downwards to defined drip edges as a continuation of cable channels or similar, linear structures of the drainage surface. This then creates defined drains for the liquid at these points.

For further simplification of assembly and high integration, a front panel is advantageously provided which is shifted further towards the front compared to the back surface and forms a part of a front base panel that is visible from the outside. In particular, the diverting surface, the back surface and the front panel form a common, integral and ideally one-piece structural unit, for example made of sheet metal or a plastic injection-molded part.

Such an integral structural unit can be installed in an area of the base facing the front, for example only be screwed to it via two side flanges. A decor design in the visible area is easily possible.

It is also advantageous if the structural unit is provided with transverse ribs, beads or similar stiffening structures, at least on its back surface, in order to be able to withstand the laterally acting forces without deformation even when gripped from the side by clamp stackers. The entire structural unit can therefore be made from a thin sheet of metal (saving material and weight) and still have a high level of stability.

Further advantages and features result from exemplary embodiments of the subject matter of the invention shown in the drawing and described below.

Elements with the same function and mode of operation are each provided with the same reference numerals in the figures.

In the 1 Dishwasher 1 shown schematically is a household dishwasher and has a washing container 2 for holding items to be washed such as dishes, pots, cutlery, glasses, cooking utensils and the like. The washing container 2 can have an at least essentially rectangular floor plan with a front side V facing a user in the operating position.

The washing container 2 can be closed by a door 3, in particular on its front side V. This door 3 is in 1 shown in the closed position and can be swung open, for example, about a lower horizontal axis 3a in the direction of arrow 3d. Another opening movement other than pivoting is also possible.

The items to be washed can be held in at least one washing basket 4; Here, exactly two washing or dish baskets 4, 5 are provided one above the other in the washing container 2. The number of washing baskets 4, 5 can vary depending on the size and type of dishwasher 1. A so-called cutlery drawer can also be provided. These dish racks 4, 5 are supplied with fresh water FW and/or with circulating water, which can be mixed with cleaning agent, via spray devices 6, 7, for example via spray arms which extend long in the radial direction and can each be rotated about a center and/or via individual nozzles. so-called rinsing liquor S, can be acted upon.

Furthermore, the washing baskets 4, 5 can be moved forward, for example on rollers 10, in order to achieve an access position for the user in which he can easily load and unload the washing baskets 4, 5. Side rails in the washing container 2 are provided as tracks for the rollers 10. In addition, pull and push handles can be provided on the edge planes of the washing baskets 4, 5 pointing towards the front V to simplify the insertion and removal of the washing baskets 4, 5.

The fresh water FW and/or the circulating washing liquor S containing cleaning agent and/or rinse aid or other agents and/or contamination from the items to be washed runs after its distribution in the washing container 2 and onto the items to be washed, downwards over one in the floor area 8 of the washing container 2 arranged sieve device 11 to a downstream circulation pump unit 12, from which it has at least one in 1 Heater 13, shown only schematically, is directed back to a distributor 14 and from there to the mentioned spray devices 6, 7. For pumping out, the liquid from the washing container 2 is led out of the machine 1 as wastewater AW via a pump 9.

The pivotable door 3 includes an inner door area 3b which is vapor and liquid-tight relative to the bottom area 8 of the washing container 2 and is often also referred to as an inner door.

This is firmly connected to an outer area 3c of the door 3, which is often also referred to as an outer door. A furniture panel or other decorative surface can be connected to this at the front.

Below the washing container 2, a base 16 is provided, which can accommodate the above-mentioned pumps 9, 12, the heater 13, the distributor 14 and other technical elements, such as a unit for drying with zeolite or a similar adsorbent, and which, for example, has feet 15 is supported relative to the ground. The walls of the base 16 can, for example, be designed as a one-piece plastic injection molding unit or in a metallic sheet metal construction.

• Unter anderem ist eine mit einer Querkomponente verlaufende untere Türdichtung D1 vorgesehen, welche in 1 nur schematisch angedeutet ist und in 8 in einer bisher üblichen Ausbildung gezeichnet ist. Diese untere Türdichtung D1 ist an dem vorderen und unteren Randbereich der Innentür 3b einerseits und an dem vorderen, hochgezogenen Rand 17 des Spülbehälters 2, der Behälterschnauze, etwa durch Aufstecken gehalten. Sie fungiert also als untere Türquerdichtung. Auch eine feste Halterung nur an einem der genannten Widerlager ist möglich.

To seal against steam and liquid escaping from the washing container 2, several functionally separate seals or sealing areas are provided in the gap area between the inner area 3b of the door 3 and the washing container 2:

• Among other things, a lower door seal D1 running with a transverse component is provided, which in 1 is only indicated schematically and in 8th is drawn in a previously usual training course. This lower door seal D1 is held on the front and lower edge region of the inner door 3b on the one hand and on the front, raised edge 17 of the washing container 2, the container snout, for example by clipping it on. It therefore functions as a lower door transverse seal. A fixed mount on only one of the abutments mentioned is also possible.

The mentioned edge 17 is designed for an outflow or overflow of liquid from the interior of the washing container 2 towards its front side V if necessary. For example, spouts, depressions or other outflow structures 18 can be provided there. Here, for example, two such outflow structures 18 are provided at a distance from one another in the vicinity of the transverse sides of the washing container 2 on the edge 17 and the lower door seal D1 attached thereto.

To intercept the overflow, at least one liquid line is provided below the edge 17 and is introduced into a base 16 of the dishwasher 1 which engages under the washing container 2, here in such a way that to intercept the overflow there is at least almost completely under the width of the edge 17 and from the front V A diverting surface 19 leading into the area of the base 16 is provided at the rear.

This diverting surface 19 is therefore designed like a tray. Appropriately, it is largely flat - especially except for its boundary edges. It preferably has an inclination from the front V towards the rear of at least 2° relative to the horizontal, so that even if the dishwasher 1 is tilted slightly forward, water drainage on the drainage surface 19 away from the front V is always ensured.

The diverting surface 19 extends from its front edge 20 assigned to the front V towards the rear to a (in the installed state) downward, in particular approximately vertically downward, sloping back surface 25, the back surface 25 being located within the contour of the base 16.

In order to prevent the diverting surface 19 from overflowing forward onto the kitchen floor, the diverting surface 19 is provided with a raised, in particular folded, edge 20 on its edge facing the front V. Likewise, in order to prevent undefined water leakage, the diverting surface 19 can also be provided with a raised, in particular folded, edge 21 on its transverse, lateral edges, as is also shown here in the drawing.

As mentioned above, the container spout 17 can have at least two defined outflow structures 18, such as spouts, depressions or the like, on its front side V for overflow if necessary. Since a particularly large amount of liquid can pass through here per unit of time in the event of a fault, it is helpful that the diverting surface 19 is provided there on its front edge 20 with separately raised structures 22, for example as baffles, as in the embodiment 7 compared to the largely straight front edge 20 6 is marked separately.

If they are made of sheet metal, these can also be created simply by folding them over.

Furthermore, both for the version with raised structures 22 ( 7 ) as well as for the version with a uniform front edge 20 shown that in adaptation to defined outflow structures 18, such as spouts, recesses or similar, the container snout 17 and the lower door seal D1, the discharge surface 19 below These outflow structures 18 can be provided with rear-facing line channels 24 or similar, linear structures. As a result, any liquid that drips or runs downwards over the outflow structures 18 is collected directly in the line channels 24 surrounded by side ribs, embossments or similar dike-like structures 23 and drained backwards therein. The liquid is then guided in a defined manner, but without any restriction in cross-section: If the liquid supply is sufficiently large, the embossments 24 can overflow and therefore do not hinder the removal of the liquid.

Like in the 2 and 3 can be clearly seen, the back surface 25 runs downwards in at least one drip edge 26, from which water taken in can be dripped down in a defined manner into the interior of the base 16. In particular, as shown here, the back surface 25 can be provided with guide aids 27 leading downwards to defined drip edges 26 as a continuation of line channels 24 or similar, linear structures of the drainage surface 19. These can be according to 6 and 7 For example, it can also simply be pressed out of the sheet metal by embossing. The drip edge 26 can nevertheless be continuous over the entire width of the back surface 25, so that, if necessary, over the entire width of the back surface 25 into the base 16, which forms a base support on which the washing container 2 is mounted, any emerging from the washing container 2 To be able to introduce liquid. Further structures, such as transverse ribs 28, are incorporated into this base support, so that a channel 29 sloping towards the center is formed parallel to the front side V and any liquid absorbed is quickly and completely guided to a safety device 30 located in the transverse center so that a correspondingly quick and therefore particularly safe reaction can take place. This may also make it possible to dispense with an impeller or similar flow meter on the input side, which can otherwise also detect the error case of unchecked flooding of the washing container 2. Such a waiver leads to further material savings.

Since the said drip edge 26 is offset towards the rear in the base 16, it is also possible and advantageous both optically and in terms of installation technology if a front panel 31 is provided which is further shifted towards the front V relative to the back surface 25 and which has a part that is visible from the outside a front base panel.

The diverting surface 19, the back surface 25 and the front panel 31 can thus form a common, integral structural unit 32, which can be inserted into the base 16 as a particularly one-piece sheet metal or plastic part via side flanges. This makes assembly particularly quick and easy. The manufacturing costs for the structural unit 32 are also low. Forming such a sheet metal part 32 with only a few folds and embossings is simple and inexpensive. In the assembled state, this structural unit 32 is then visibly installed in an area of the base 16 facing the front V and extends over a significant part of its transverse extent.

It is advantageous if the structural unit is provided with transverse ribs, beads or similar stiffening structures 33 at least on its back surface 25. These, like the continuous drip edge 26, contribute to the dishwasher 1 having a high level of transverse rigidity and can therefore also be transported via clamp grippers without the risk of deformation. In particular, the structural units 32, which are also referred to overall as base panels, can then also be made from very thin sheet metal in order to save further material. To reduce noise, the structural unit 32 can also be partially or completely provided with a bitumen mat 34 or similar, for example on the inside of its back surface 25, as in 2 is marked.

Overall, with the invention, neither an overflow channel upstream of the container snout nor a shaft leading downwards from there are no longer necessary. By eliminating additional holes, the operating noise is not increased. No airborne noise can penetrate from the machine room of the device 1 to the outside via the drip edge 26.

In particular, material and assembly costs are reduced. By reaching under the container snout over at least almost its entire width, not only the water overflowing the lower door seal D1 in the area of overflows 18, but also the water flowing under it (capillary force) is collected over the entire width, which would not be possible with individual channels . Ideal precautions are therefore taken against both of the error cases mentioned. This means that no water can leak from the dishwasher 1 and damage surrounding furniture or the floor.

The entire base plate 32 can be made of stainless steel, for example, and it is also possible that it is made of plastic, for example polypropylene.
