Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for controlling the water supply quantity for a washing machine or dishwasher having a treatment container and a program control device, a storage vessel connected to the water supply line being arranged in the upper machine area and connected to the treatment container of the machine via a discharge line is connected, and the drain line has a valve which can be actuated by the program control device.
  • CH-A 645 261 is a machine with a normal program-controlled valve and a reservoir is provided for measuring the amount of water required to regenerate the ion exchanger.
  • Dishwashers and washing machines of the type mentioned initially require certain amounts of water in their functional sequence, the size of which may also vary depending on the type of sequence.
  • measurement and control methods are used that work according to known physical rules.
  • So z. B. detected the rise of a static water column in a vat pressure converted in a wind boiler and used by a pressure switch set to certain pressure values.
  • the pressure switch now indirectly determines the filling quantity by switching an inlet valve on or off. Due to this indirect route, a relatively inaccurate measurement results in the chain, which is due to the tolerances of the individual components, assembly tolerances and the inlet pressure range of 0.3 to 10 bar to be managed.
  • a device of the type mentioned in connection with a softening device for a dishwasher has become known.
  • a water collecting container is provided in the upper area of the machine.
  • the drain line there is a softening device, which on the one hand has a salt container and an ion exchange container in series with the salt container, which in turn opens into the container of the machine.
  • the collecting container is provided with a second drain line which opens directly into the container of the machine.
  • the ion exchange container can be connected directly to the fresh water supply line via an extra line.
  • the collecting container is briefly filled with water up to the level of an overflow threshold during each program sequence of the dishwasher in the program section “Regenerate”.
  • the water collected by the collecting container flows under the influence of gravity directly into the salt container, from which at the same time a quantity of brine corresponding to the receiving volume of the collecting container is fed to the ion exchange container in order to regenerate its ion exchange filling.
  • the receiving volume of the collecting container can be changed by a height-adjustable overflow threshold. The brine requirement can thus be adapted to the degree of exhaustion of the ion exchange filling.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned, which allows a very precise measurement of the amount of water to be supplied in a simple manner.
  • the treatment container is fed exclusively from the storage container, that the valve is designed as a metering valve provided with an orifice, the duration of the opening for measuring the amount of water flowing through a timer of the program control device is time-controllable, and that the storage vessel contains a control device controlling the water inflow, with which its water level can be kept approximately at the same level when the metering valve is open.
  • the size of the orifice plate and its wall thickness and the back pressure that occurs in the downstream system result in that per unit of time amount of water passing through.
  • the decisive factor for the accuracy of the measurement is therefore primarily the metering valve, the opening orifice of which must be designed as a function of the downstream system. Since the water level in the storage vessel and thus the amount of water in the storage vessel remains essentially the same as a result of the control device, a different height cannot exert any influence on the amount of water passing through per unit of time.
  • the metering valve is provided with an adjustable diaphragm.
  • the amount of water to be supplied per unit of time can thus be changed in a simple manner, so that it can be easily adapted to the system connected behind the metering valve.
  • Two fixed reed switches and a float carried by the water level are preferably provided as the control device for regulating the water level within the storage vessel.
  • This float works with the reed switches in such a way that the supply valve for the water supply to the storage vessel is opened or closed as soon as the float exceeds certain limits specified by the reed switches.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 an object according to the invention in a dishwasher is shown schematically in FIGS. 1 to 3.
  • the dishwasher 10 contains a container 11 for receiving the dishes to be washed. On the back of the container 11, a flat storage vessel 12 is arranged with a broad side adjacent.
  • the fresh water is fed to the dishwasher 10 from a fresh water supply 13 via an aqua stop valve 14, a feed line 15 and a so-called free air gap 16.
  • a control device which has two reed switches 18, 19 and a float 20.
  • a metering valve 21 is arranged in a drain line 22 below the storage vessel 12.
  • the metering valve contains an unrecognizable orifice.
  • the opening position of the metering valve 21 can be limited in time by a timer of a program control device 23.
  • 24 denotes a two-way valve downstream of the metering valve 21, which is followed by a water softening system with a salt container 25 and an ion exchanger 26.
  • the ion exchanger 26 opens into the container 11 of the dishwasher 10 with a line 27.
  • this acts as a condenser, at least when the cold water is connected. If the storage vessel 12 is filled immediately after the "rinse aid" program section, a large temperature difference to the other container surfaces is formed on the connection surface. The air-water mixture in the interior condenses on this condensation surface as it passes by by natural convection.
  • the ventilation of the storage vessel 12 takes place via a pipeline 28 which is connected to the storage vessel 12 and is led either directly into the container 11 or into a floor pan, not shown, below the container 11.
  • the water in the storage vessel 12 can also be heated by a heating device, not shown.
