Definitions

  • valves can be used in a known manner on the faucet, which, for example, close when the back pressure is too low and thus when the hose bursts Keep damage small by automatically closing the valve on the tap.
  • Another known possibility is to connect the valve, which is necessary anyway for the water supply to the machine, directly to the tap via an electrical control line lying parallel to the water hose, that is, to connect it upstream of the water hose. In such a case, the water hose is only under pressure during the feed phase; the risk of water damage is greatly reduced from the outset.
  • the water escaping here can be captured in a leakage water trough and e.g.
  • a valve can be controlled via a float that separates the supply hose from the supply network on the network side.
  • a leak within the machine or the tubing can also be detected via the leakage water trough and the float.
  • a device of the type mentioned with a monitoring device for the rinse tank liquid level which consists of at least one operational and / or security level monitor, which is reached when it is reached of the normal filling level or a safety level in the rinsing container and causes the closing of a program-dependent, machine-specific shut-off valve.
  • the operating and / or safety level monitor is connected to the flushing tank via an air trap chamber.
  • the connecting hose connected to the enveloping hose is either connected to the air boiler or directly to the washing tank and that the level monitor causes the machine's own shut-off valve and the inlet valve on the shut-off valve to close.
  • the invention has for its object to ensure beyond the damage described in DE-A-36 04 673 that the machine switches off as safely and defined when reaching a maximum permissible level as in the case of leaks in the enveloping tube.
  • Solenoid valves are among the elements that can be considered to be very reliable. However, since these valves work on a line network that is not always without additives, e.g. Sand, is, a malfunction of such valves can not be completely excluded. Another object of the invention is to largely rule out damage from such faults.
  • the second level monitor which detects the maximum level and a damage in the inlet hose, can in turn be looped in with a control contact.
  • connection according to the invention between the enveloping hose on the one hand and the wind boiler or the safety level monitor on the other hand via the specially designed and routed line connection can be used to easily ensure regeneration of the machine function after an excessive water level and to prevent the machine from being switched on again after a defect in the inlet hose will. If the level in the rinsing tank is elevated, the safety level monitor is pressurized via the air boiler and the two air lines in this function and closes the valve. As soon as the excessive liquid level has dropped, the pressure at the safety level monitor drops again so that the valve opens. The machine function is now restored. If the inlet hose is defective, leakage water first penetrates into the connecting hose and from there into the two parallel air lines.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of an overall view of the device according to the invention in connection with a dishwasher.
  • FIG. 2 shows details of a water connection with valves and details of the connection to the dishwasher and the dishwasher-side connection.
  • Fig. 3 shows a schematic representation of a commercially available water inlet made of molded plastic with a molded component.
  • the washing compartment 2 with its front door 3 is arranged in the housing 1 of a dishwasher.
  • the rinsing tank is equipped in a known manner with a sump 4, to which two air tanks 5 and 6 are connected.
  • the housing 1 On the bottom side, the housing 1 is provided with a collecting trough 7, which has a float 8 and a switch 9 assigned.
  • the wastewater pump assigned to the sump 4 is not shown here.
  • the level monitor 10 is connected to the wind boiler 5 and switches off the water supply when the working level 11 is reached.
  • the wind boiler 6 is connected via the air line 12 and the component 13 on the one hand to the connecting hose 14 and on the other hand via the air line 15 to the level monitor 16, which responds to the maximum permissible level 17.
  • the component 13 is arranged in the machine in such a way that the connection to the level monitor 16 both from the connecting hose 14 and from the air hose 12 is above the maximum permissible level 17.
  • connection unit 19 and the double valve 20 with the magnetic coils 21 and 22 are provided, which are connected by the hose lines 23, 24.
  • the tubing consists of an inlet hose 23, an enveloping hose 24 and a protective hose 25.
  • the inlet hose 23 is tightly connected to the double valve 20.
  • the enveloping tube 24 is fastened to the connection unit 19 in such a way that the closed space between the inlet tube 23 and the enveloping tube 24 has an air connection to the connecting tube 14.
  • the envelope tube 24 is enclosed by a protective tube 25 which is fastened to the connection unit 19 and the housing 26 of the valve 20.
  • the electrical wiring 27 is laid between the enveloping tube 24 and the protective tube 25.
  • the connection unit 19 has a recess for leading out the wiring 27, which are connected to control the magnetic coils 21 and 22 with the program control device and the level monitors 10 and 16 and the contact 9 of the float switch.
  • solenoids 21 and 22 are individually controlled, e.g. the valve associated with the coil 21 is opened when the main switch is actuated.
  • the valve associated with the coil 22 is switched as a function of the program control device and the level monitor 10.
  • the level monitor 16 is acted upon with a corresponding air pressure via the wind boiler 6 and the air lines 12, 15, which partly run in the component 13, so that it switches and the magnet coil independently of the level monitor 10 21 de-excited.
  • the corresponding valve part closes.
  • the pressure at the level monitor 16 drops, so that the valve 21 can open again.
  • the component 13 according to FIG. 3 is designed as part of a water supply device in such a way that it is flat can be mounted on the side wall of the washing compartment 3.
  • a water supply device in such a way that it is flat can be mounted on the side wall of the washing compartment 3.
  • Such a unit consists of the water supply line 30, which leads via the free air gap 31 and the outlet 32 to the water softener, not shown.
  • the housing 33 forms chambers from which a certain amount of water can be passed through a valve 34 through the outlet 35 for regeneration in a salt vessel, not shown.
  • the component 13 is designed as a flat plastic body and has molded-in ribs such that the air lines 12, 15 and the connecting hose 14 can be mounted side by side.
