Abstract

Es wird ein Verfahren zur Steuerung eines Ventils (V) zur Beaufschlagung der Sprüharme (OS, US) einer Geschirrspülmaschine mit Wasser vorgeschlagen, wobei das Ventil mindestens zwei Ausgänge (AO, AU) und einem Eingang (AP) für den Anschluß an eine Umwälzpumpe (P) aufweist, wobei das Ventil (V) ein (Schwerkraft abhängiges) Verschließelement (K) zum Verschließen der Ausgänge (AO, AU) aufweist, wobei das Ventil (V) in Abhängigkeit von der Drehzahl (n) der Umwälzpumpe (P) gesteuert wird. Auf diese Weise kann die Schaltstellung des Ventils (V) mit geringem Aufwand zuverlässig eingestellt werden.

Figure 00000001
A method for controlling a valve (V) for supplying water to the spray arms (OS, US) of a dishwasher is proposed, the valve having at least two outputs (AO, AU) and one input (AP) for connection to a circulation pump ( P), the valve (V) having a (gravity-dependent) closing element (K) for closing the outputs (AO, AU), the valve (V) being controlled as a function of the speed (n) of the circulation pump (P) becomes. In this way, the switching position of the valve (V) can be set reliably with little effort.
