Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for controlling the flow of washing liquid for feeding the spraying rotors of a dishwasher machine.
- Known dishwasher machines comprise a washing tub in which two horizontal shelves are slidingly housed to hold the dishes to be washed, situated at the bottom (lower shelf) and mid-height (upper shelf) respectively of the washing tub.
- Two spraying rotors, lower and upper respectively, are associated to said shelves and fed with the washing liquid (mixture of water and detergent) by a motor pump connected to a sump located below the bottom of the washing tub and wherein the washing liquid diffused by the spraying rotors is collected.
- the two rotors are fed simultaneously, assuming that both the shelves have been loaded with dishes to be washed.
- the quantity of water which has to be fed into the tub of the dishwasher has to be such that the pump does not go into cavitation and that the pressure of the water emitted by the rotors is not too low.
- EP-A-0 585 905 discloses a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the object of the present invention is that of providing a device for controlling the flow of washing liquid for feeding the spraying rotors which overcomes the aforementioned disadvantages.
- this object is achieved thanks to a device for controlling the flow of washing liquid for feeding a first spraying rotor and a second spraying rotor of a dishwasher as set forth in claim 1.
- the control device enables continuous or discontinuous feeding of one of the two spraying rotors, while the other one can be independently fed or not.
- the rotor associated to the outlet conduit controlled by said cut-off means is preferably the lower one so that, should the dishwasher be programmed for washing six table settings, the dishes can be loaded on only the upper shelf, and the flow rate and pressure of the pump fully exploited to feed the washing liquid to the upper rotor alone.
- Figure 1 shows a washing tub 1 of a dishwasher, below which washing tub 1 a sump 2, wherein the washing liquid is collected, is mounted.
- a motor pump 3 which, taking the liquid from the sump 2, sends it to a lower spraying rotor 4 extending from the bottom of the tub 1 inside the latter and related to a lower loading shelf 100 and to an upper spraying rotor 4', positioned approximately at mid-height inside the tub 1 and related to an upper loading shelf 101 (Figs. 4 and 5).
- a device 7 for cutting off the flow of washing liquid consisting of a chamber 8 wherein a diaphragm 9, moving between two working conditions (shown as an unbroken line and dotted and dashed line respectively in Figure 1), is hinged. Above the chamber 8 a substantially cylindrical outlet conduit 10 is connected, divided internally into two semicylindrical conduits 11 and 12 by a baffle 13 (Fig. 2).
- a flow diverter 14 Connected to the outlet conduit 10 is a flow diverter 14, also substantially cylindrical, and wherein a baffle 15, having a substantially vertical lower section 18, is also provided and which divides internally the flow diverter 14 into two semicylindrical conduits 16 and 17, and an upper elbow section 19 which joins the semicylindrical conduit 17 to a horizontal cylindrical conduit 20 for feeding the upper spraying rotor 4'.
- the flow diverter 14 is inserted in a special hole 21 of the tub 1, and is attached by means of a ring nut 22.
- the lower spraying rotor 4 is mounted, freely rotatably, above the flow diverter 14.
- the diaphragm 9 has dimensions which correspond substantially to those of the chamber 8, and is attached at one end to a pin 24. Outside of the chamber 8 the pin 24 is connected to an actuator 25 which causes displacement of the diaphragm 9 into the two working positions.
- the diaphragm 9 has a semicircular opening 23 which, when the diaphragm 9 is in the closure position shown by a dashed and dotted line in Figure 1, is positioned below the mouth of the semicylindrical conduit 12.
- both the semicylindrical conduits 11 and 12 are open, and the water coming from the outlet conduit 5 of the pump 3 is distributed among the semicylindrical conduits 11, 16 and 12, 17, thus feeding simultaneously both the lower rotor 4 and the upper rotor 4' (Fig. 4).
- the diaphragm 9 is in the closure position, the mouth of the semicylindrical conduit 11 is closed, while the mouth of the semicylindrical conduit 12 is open: thus feeding of the lower rotor 4 is interrupted, while the upper rotor 4' continues to be fed (Fig. 5).
- FIGS 6 and 7 show a second embodiment of the device according to the invention.
- the control device forms a single body with the pump 3.
- the conduit 20 Directly connected to the outlet 5 of the pump 3 is the conduit 20, always open, for feeding the upper rotor 4'.
- Said outlet conduit 5 comprises a substantially horizontal cylindrical end section 26 flowing into a chamber 27 which extends above to form a cylindrical appendage 28 whereon a conduit 29 is fitted and sealed for supporting and feeding the lower rotor 4.
- This conduit 29 is mounted on the tub 1 in a similar manner to the flow diverter 14 of the previous embodiment.
- a device for cutting off the fluid comprising a plug 30 controlled by an actuator 31 to move from a first working position, wherein the outlet of the end section 26 of the conduit 5 is open and leads into the chamber 27, to a second working position, wherein the plug 30 closes the outlet of the end section 26 of the conduit 5 (position shown by the dotted and dashed line in Figure 7).
- a conduit 32 can also be seen, small in size and also connected to the outlet conduit 5 of the pump 3.
- This conduit can be used for feeding pressurised liquid in other points of the water supply circuit of the dishwasher.
- this pressurised liquid can be used for cleaning the microfilter normally installed in the sump 2 to filter the liquid coming from the washing tub 1.
- the conduit 32 can also be used for transferring the liquid contained in the washing tub 1 at the end of the final phase of rinsing to a recovery tank, wherein the liquid is stored until the subsequent washing cycle.
- the pump 3 performs a double function.
