    • In Fig. 1 ist der Bottich 1 eines Geschirrspülers dargestellt. Im Bottich sind zwei Geschirrkörbe 2, 3 angeordnet. Im folgenden wird der obere Geschirrkorb 2 im Detail beschrieben und generell als "der" Geschirrkorb bezeichnet. Der untere Geschirrkorb 3 (in Fig. 1 nur schematisch angedeutet) ist in konventioneller Weise aufgebaut. In Fig. 1 is the tub 1 of a dishwasher shown. There are two baskets in the tub 2, 3 arranged. Below is the top basket 2 described in detail and generally as "the" crockery basket designated. The lower basket 3 (in Fig. 1 only schematically indicated) is constructed in a conventional manner.

    Der Geschirrkorb 2 ist in zwei seitlichen Halterungen 4 angeordnet, die mit Rollen 5 in Schienen 6 geführt sind. Die Schienen 6 sind an den Seitenwänden des Bottichs 1 befestigt.The crockery basket 2 is in two side Brackets 4 arranged with rollers 5 in rails 6 are led. The rails 6 are on the side walls of the Vats 1 attached.

    Der Geschirrkorb kann nach vorne ausgefahren werden, wobei die Rollen 5 in bekannter Weise in den Schienen 6 fahren und die Schienen 6 teleksopartig ausgezogen werden.The crockery basket can be extended to the front be, the rollers 5 in a known manner in the Run rails 6 and the rails 6 extended like a telescope become.

    Jede der seitlichen Halterungen 4 besteht aus einem flexiblen Arm aus Kunststoff, in welchen der Geschirrkorb auf zwei unterschiedlichen Höhenstufen eingerastet werden kann. Fig. 2 zeigt den Geschirrkorb, wenn er in den beiden unteren Höhenstufen angeordnet ist. In Fig. 3 ist er in den beiden oberen Höhenstufen angeordnet. Somit kann der Geschirrkorb 2 zwei unterschiedliche Horizontalstellungen einnehmen.Each of the side brackets 4 consists of a flexible arm made of plastic, in which the Crockery basket snapped into place at two different levels can be. Fig. 2 shows the crockery basket when it is arranged in the two lower levels. In Fig. 3 it is in the two upper levels arranged. Thus, the crockery basket 2 can be two different ones Take up horizontal positions.

    In Fig. 4 und 5 ist der Geschirrkorb jeweils in einer Halterung 4 in der oberen Höhenstufe eingerastet und in der gegenüberliegenden Halterung 4 in der unteren Höhenstufe. Somit kann der Geschirrkorb 2 zwei unterschiedliche gekippte Stellungen einnehmen, welche um eine Kippachse parallel zur Ausfahrrichtung des Geschirrkorbs gekippt sind.4 and 5, the crockery basket is in each case locked in a holder 4 in the upper height level and in the opposite bracket 4 in the lower Altitude level. Thus, the crockery basket 2 can be two different ones assume tilted positions, which by one Tilt axis parallel to the direction of extension of the crockery basket are tilted.

    Da die Halterungen 4 symmetrisch zueinander ausgestaltet sind, sind auch die beiden gekippten Stellungen zueinander symmetrisch.Since the brackets 4 are symmetrical to each other are configured, are the two tilted positions symmetrical to each other.

    Am Geschirrkorb ist mindestens ein Sprüharm 7 angeordnet, der mit Wasser versorgt werden muss. Hierzu ist der Geschirrkorb mit einer Kopplungsvorrichtung ausgestattet, die es erlaubt, den Sprüharm mit einer Wasserzufuhrleitung zu verbinden, die an der Rückwand des Bottichs mündet.There is at least one spray arm 7 on the crockery basket arranged, which must be supplied with water. For this the crockery basket is equipped with a coupling device, which allows the spray arm with a water supply line to connect that to the back wall of the Vat ends.

    Die Kopplungsvorrichtung umfasst einen Koppelkopf 8, der an die Zufuhrleitung angekoppelt wird. Der Koppelkopf ist mit einer im wesentlichen starren Verbindungsleitung 9 verbunden, die im Boden des Geschirrkorbs 2 etwa parallel zu dessen Ausfahrrichtung verläuft. Die Verbindungsleitung 9 führt zum Sprüharm 7, der sich ungefähr in der Mitte des Geschirrkorbs 2 befindet.The coupling device comprises one Coupling head 8, which is coupled to the supply line. The coupling head is with an essentially rigid connecting line 9 connected in the bottom of the crockery basket 2 runs approximately parallel to its extension direction. The connecting line 9 leads to the spray arm 7, which is is located approximately in the middle of the crockery basket 2.

    Der Aufbau des Koppelkopfs 8 ist in Fig. 6 bis 10 illustriert. Er besitzt ein ungefähr schuhförmiges Gehäuse, welches schwenkbar mit der Verbindungsleitung 9 verbunden ist. Diese Verbindung erlaubt eine Schwenkbewegung um eine Schwenkachse 34, die in der Achse der Verbindungsleitung 9 und somit im wesentlichen parallel zur Ausfahrrichtung des Geschirrkorbs 2 verläuft.The structure of the coupling head 8 is shown in FIG. 6 illustrated to 10. It has an approximately shoe-shaped one Housing, which is pivotable with the connecting line 9 connected is. This connection allows a swiveling movement about a pivot axis 34 which is in the axis of the connecting line 9 and thus essentially parallel to Extension direction of the crockery basket 2 runs.

    Am Koppelkopf 8 sind als Führungsorgane zwei voneinander beabstandete Rastmechanismen 10a, 10b bzw. lla, llb vorgesehen, in die je ein Draht 12 bzw. 13 des Geschirrkorbs eingerastet ist. Wie aus den Figuren ersichtlich, sind die Rastmechanismen so gestaltet, dass sie in der Lage sind, Zug- und Stosskräfte parallel zur Auszugsrichtung des Geschirrkorbs 2 zwischen den Drähten 12, 13 und dem Koppelkopf 8 zu übertragen, indem sie die Drähte bei Zug und Stoss von hinten bzw. vorne beaufschlagen. Sie erlauben jedoch seitliche Schwenkbewegungen des Koppelkopfes 8. Dies ist in Fig. 6 und 7 gezeigt, wo der Koppelkopf in zwei unterschiedlichen Schwenkstellungen dargestellt ist. Hierzu folgen die Drähte 12 bzw. 13 ungefähr tangential der Schwenkbahn des Koppelkopfs.At coupling head 8 there are two as guide elements spaced-apart locking mechanisms 10a, 10b or lla, llb provided, in each of which a wire 12 or 13 of the Crockery basket is engaged. As can be seen from the figures, the locking mechanisms are designed so that they are able to pull and push parallel to Extension direction of the crockery basket 2 between the wires 12, 13 and the coupling head 8 by transmitting the Wires for pulling and pushing from the rear or front act upon. However, they allow lateral Swiveling movements of the coupling head 8. This is in FIG. 6 and 7 where the coupling head is in two different pivot positions is shown. For this purpose, the wires 12 and 13 follow approximately tangentially the swivel path of the coupling head.

    Die Schwenkbarkeit des Koppelkopfs 8 ist so gross, dass er in beiden gekippten Stellungen des Geschirrkorbs 2 im wesentlichen in eine senkrechte Stellung gebracht werden kann.The coupling head 8 can be pivoted in this way big that he is in both tilted positions of the Dish rack 2 essentially in a vertical position can be brought.

    Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 9 ersichtlich, besitzt der Koppelkopf 8 eine Rückwand 14 und eine Kappe 15. Die Kappe 15 bildet die Vorderseite des Koppelkopfs 8 und besitzt eine Anschlussmanschette 16 für die Verbindungsleitung 9.As can be seen in particular from FIG. 9 the coupling head 8 a rear wall 14 and a cap 15. The cap 15 forms the front of the coupling head 8 and has a connecting sleeve 16 for the connecting line 9.

    Die Rückwand 14 besteht aus einer im wesentlichen flachen Platte, in welcher vier übereinander liegende Öffnungen 20 (20a, 20b, 20c, 20d) angeordnet sind. Für die in Fig. 1 - 5 dargestellte Ausführung des Geschirrspülers werden nur drei dieser Öffnungen benötigt und die Vierte kann permanent oder mit einer gefederten Klappe verschlossen sein. Die Funktion der vierten Öffnung, im vorliegenden Beispiel Öffnung 20d, wird weiter unten beschrieben.The rear wall 14 consists essentially of a flat plate, in which four superimposed Openings 20 (20a, 20b, 20c, 20d) are arranged. For the embodiment of the Dishwashers only need three of these openings and the fourth can be permanent or sprung Flap must be closed. The function of the fourth opening, In the present example, opening 20d becomes wider described below.

    Vor jeder Öffnung ist eine Klappe 21 (21a, 21b, 21c, 21d) angeordnet, von denen in Fig. 10 nur Klappe 21d dargestellt ist.A flap 21 (21a, 21b, 21c, 21d), of which only in Fig. 10 Flap 21d is shown.

    Der Aufbau der Klappen 21 ist in Fig. 11 und 12 dargestellt. Jede Klappe 21 weist zwei seitliche Scharniere 22 auf, die an zwei Armen 23 angeordnet sind. Die Klappe 21 ist so ausgestaltet, dass sie die jeweilige Öffnung vollständig zu schliessen vermag.The structure of the flaps 21 is in Fig. 11 and 12 shown. Each flap 21 has two lateral ones Hinges 22, which are arranged on two arms 23. The flap 21 is designed so that it is the respective The opening can be closed completely.

    Wie aus Fig. 9 und 10 ersichtlich, liegen die Scharniere 22 in Vertiefungen 25 der Rückwand 14, und werden von einer Leiste 26 der Kappe 15 am Herausfallen gehindert. Damit vereinfacht sich die Montage der Klappen 21. Sie werden in einem ersten Schritt in die Rückwand 14 und die Vertiefungen 25 eingelegt, worauf die Kappe 15 aufgesetzt wird, so dass die Klappen zwischen der Rückwand 14 und der Kappe 15 gehalten werden.As can be seen from FIGS. 9 and 10, the Hinges 22 in recesses 25 of the rear wall 14, and are falling out of a strip 26 of the cap 15 hindered. This simplifies the assembly of the flaps 21. In a first step you will be in the back wall 14 and the recesses 25 are inserted, whereupon the cap 15 is placed so that the flaps between the rear wall 14 and the cap 15 are held.

    Bei jeder Klappe ist eine Feder 27 angeordnet, die als Rückstellmittel zum Schliessen der Klappe dient.A spring 27 is arranged on each flap, the as a reset means for closing the flap serves.

    In der Rückwand 14, welche aus hartem Kunststoff besteht, ist eine Dichtmasse 28 aus weicherem Kunststoff eingegossen. Diese bildet um jede Öffnung 20 einen Dichtungsring, auf welchem die jeweilige Klappe 21 aufliegt. Gleichzeitig bildet die Dichtmasse eine Dichtung zwischen Rückwand 14 und Kappe 15.In the rear wall 14, which is made of hard plastic there is a sealing compound 28 made of softer Poured in plastic. This forms around each opening 20 a sealing ring on which the respective flap 21st lies on. At the same time, the sealing compound forms a seal between rear wall 14 and cap 15.

    Die Öffnungen 20 sind in ihrem Querschnitt der Mündung 30 der Wasserzufuhrleitung 31 angepasst, die in Fig. 13 dargestellt ist. Wenn der Geschirrkorb 2 eingeschoben wird, so wird die Mündung 30 in eine der Öffnungen 20 eingeführt und stösst die jeweilige Klappe 21 auf. Dabei bildet die Dichtmasse 28 einen Dichtungsring um die Mündung 30, der diese gegen die Rückwand 14 abdichtet.The openings 20 are in cross section the mouth 30 of the water supply line 31 adapted, the is shown in Fig. 13. When the crockery basket 2 is inserted becomes, the mouth 30 into one of the openings 20 introduced and pushes the respective flap 21st on. The sealing compound 28 forms a sealing ring around the mouth 30, which seals it against the rear wall 14.

    In der in Fig. 2 dargestellten unteren Horizontalstellung des Geschirrkorbs 2 wird die Mündung 30 in die obere Öffnung 20c eingeschoben, in der in Fig. 3 dargestellten unteren Horizontalstellung in die untere Öffnung 20a. In den beiden gekippten Stellungen nach Fig. 4 und 5 liegt die Mündung etwa auf der Höhe der mittleren Öffnung 20b und wird in diese eingeführt.In the lower shown in Fig. 2 Horizontal position of the crockery basket 2 is the mouth 30 inserted into the upper opening 20c, in which in FIG. 3 shown lower horizontal position in the lower Opening 20a. In the two tilted positions according to Fig. 4 and 5, the mouth is approximately at the level of the middle Opening 20b and is inserted into this.

    Das von der Zufuhrleitung 31 kommende Wasser tritt durch die jeweils geöffnete Klappe 20 in den Koppelkopf 8 ein und gelangt von dort über die Verbindungsleitung 9 in den Sprüharm 7. Die nicht benutzten Öffnungen werden dank der Kraft der Federn 27 geschlossen gehalten.The water coming from the supply line 31 occurs through the open flap 20 in the Coupling head 8 and arrives from there via the connecting line 9 in the spray arm 7. The unused Openings are closed thanks to the force of the springs 27 held.

    Die Schwenkbarkeit des Koppelkopfes wird dabei benötigt, um trotz der Verkippung zu gewährleisten, dass die jeweilige Öffnung genau über der Mündung 30 zu liegen kommt. Um den Koppelkopf in die jeweils richtige Lage zu schwenken, sind in der Mündung 30 spitz zulaufende Führungsplatten 32 vorgesehen, die als Führungsmittel zum Zentrieren der jeweiligen Öffnung 20 auf der Mündung 30 dienen.The coupling head can be swiveled needed to ensure despite the tilting that the respective opening is exactly over the mouth 30 comes to lie. To the coupling head in the correct one Position to pivot, are tapered in the mouth 30 Guide plates 32 provided as a guide for centering the respective opening 20 on the mouth 30 serve.

    Wie oben erwähnt, ist in der Rückwand 14 noch eine zusätzliche vierte Öffnung 20d vorgesehen. Diese erlaubt es, die relative Position der Schienen 6 gegenüber der Wasserzufuhrleitung um einen Öffnungsabstand zu ändern, ohne dass der Kopplungskopf ausgewechselt werden muss.As mentioned above, there is still 14 in the rear wall an additional fourth opening 20d is provided. This allows it, the relative position of the rails 6 opposite the water supply line to change an opening distance, without having to replace the coupling head got to.

    Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 10 ersichtlich, sind die Öffnungen 20 länglich ausgestaltet, d.h. sie besitzen in Horizontalrichtung (d.h. in Schwenkrichtung) höheren Durchmesser als senkrecht dazu. Diese Massnahme erlaubt bei gegebenen Vertikalabstand eine Vergrösserung der Querschnittfläche der Öffnungen.As can be seen in particular from FIG. 10, the openings 20 are elongated, i.e. they own in the horizontal direction (i.e. in the swivel direction) larger diameter than perpendicular to it. This measure allows an enlargement at a given vertical distance the cross-sectional area of the openings.

    Insbesondere aus Fig. 1 ist ersichtlich, dass der Koppelkopf 8 ungefähr aber nicht genau in der Mitte der Rückwand des Geschirrkorbs 2 angeordnet ist. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass der hintere Teil des Geschirrkorbs in zwei unterschiedlich grosse Bereiche unterteilt wird, so dass auch sehr grosses Geschirrgut untergebracht werden kann. Die leicht asymmetrische Positionierung des Koppelkopfs 8 führt aber dazu, dass seine Höhe in den beiden gekippten Stellungen nach Fig. 4 und 5 nicht genau gleich ist. Deshalb ist der Koppelkopf 8 so gelagert, dass er etwas Spiel in vertikaler Richtung besitzt.It can be seen in particular from FIG. 1 that the coupling head 8 approximately but not exactly in the middle the rear wall of the crockery basket 2 is arranged. this has the advantage that the rear part of the crockery basket in two areas of different sizes are divided, so that even very large crockery can be accommodated can. The slightly asymmetrical positioning of the coupling head 8 causes its height in the two tilted positions according to FIGS. 4 and 5 are not exactly the same is. Therefore, the coupling head 8 is mounted so that it has some play in the vertical direction.

    Wie aus Fig. 9 ersichtlich, ist die mittlere Öffnung gegen die Schwenkachse 34 des Koppelkopfs vertikal versetzt. Dies reduziert die auf die Mündung 30 wirkenden Kräfte zur Winkelpositionierung des Koppelkopfs.As can be seen from Fig. 9, the middle is Opening against the pivot axis 34 of the coupling head vertically transferred. This reduces those acting on the mouth 30 Forces for angular positioning of the coupling head.
