Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Geschirrkorb für Geschirrspülmaschinen, der Seitenwände und einen Boden umfaßt, welcher erste ein Auflagegitter oder einen Auflagerost bildende Stege und zweite Stege aufweist, die eine größere Höhe als die ersten Stege besitzen und zumindest über einen Teil ihrer Höhe unterhalb der ersten Stege liegen.The invention relates to a dish rack for dishwashers, the side walls and a bottom comprises, which first a support grid or a Auflagerost forming webs and second webs having a greater height than the first webs and lie at least over part of their height below the first webs ,

Geschirrkörbe für Geschirrspülmaschinen sind in unterschiedlichen Ausführungsformen bekannt, beispielsweise aus der EP 0 673 620 B1 , der EP 380 927 B1 und der DE-OS 2 050 905 . Solche Geschirrkörbe werden üblicherweise im Zusammenhang mit Geschirrspülmaschinen für gewerbliche Zwecke verwendet. Meist besitzen diese Geschirrkörbe in der unteren Ebene eines in der Draufsicht rechteckigen Rahmens einen rost- oder gitterartigen Boden, von dem sich nach oben gerichtete Stifte oder Dorne erstrecken. Diese können mit dem Boden einstückig ausgebildet sein oder an Einsätzen vorgesehen sein, die auf dem Boden des Geschirrkorbes aufliegen.Dish racks for dishwashers are known in different embodiments, for example from the EP 0 673 620 B1 , of the EP 380 927 B1 and the DE-OS 2 050 905 , Such baskets are typically used in conjunction with commercial dishwashing machines. Most of these baskets in the lower level of a rectangular in plan view of the frame have a rust or grid-like floor from which upwardly directed pins or mandrels extend. These may be integrally formed with the ground or be provided on inserts that rest on the bottom of the dish rack.

Ein Geschirrkorb der eingangs genannten Art ist aus der AT-PS 349 683 bekannt. Der Boden dieses Korbes wird von einem gitterartigen Einsatz aus ersten Stegen gebildet. Unterhalb dieses gitterartigen Einsatzes ist ein Mitnehmerkreuz angeordnet, welches für einen besonderen Eingriff, beispielsweise beim Transport durch Förderbänder vorgesehen ist. Dieses Mitnehmerkreuz wird von zweiten Stegen gebildet, die eine größere Höhe als die ersten Stege besitzen. Neben der Funktion als Mitnehmerkreuz kommt diesen zweiten Stegen auch eine Versteifungsfunktion für den Boden zu. Solche Geschirrkörbe sind aufgrund der Temperatur- und Gewichtsbelastungen im Dauerbetrieb möglichst formstabil auszubilden, um ein Durchhängen des Bodens im Laufe der Zeit zu verhindern. Gleichzeitig soll aber das Gewicht des Korbes nicht zu hoch sein, um die Manipulation des Korbes zu erleichtern.A dish rack of the type mentioned is from the AT-PS 349 683 known. The bottom of this basket is formed by a lattice-like insert of first webs. Below this grid-like insert a Mitnehmerkreuz is arranged, which is provided for a special intervention, for example during transport by conveyor belts. This driving cross is formed by second webs, which have a greater height than the first webs. In addition to the function as Mitnehmerkreuz these second webs also comes to a stiffening function for the ground. Such baskets are due to the temperature and weight loads in continuous operation form as stable as possible in order to prevent sagging of the soil over time. At the same time, however, the weight of the basket should not be too high to facilitate the manipulation of the basket.

Herkömmliche gewerbliche Geschirrspülmaschinen weisen meist rotierende Spülsysteme auf, durch die Wasserstrahlen schräg auf einen in die Spülkammer eingebrachten Geschirrkorb gerichtet werden (von oben und von unten).Conventional commercial dishwashers usually have rotating flushing systems through which water jets are directed obliquely onto a dish basket placed in the washing chamber (from above and from below).

Die Problemzonen beim Reinigungsvorgang in herkömmlichen Geschirrspülmaschinen liegen vor allem bei den randseitigen Tellerreihen. Hierbei stellt eine besondere Problemzone der untere Rand der vordersten Tellerreihe dar. Die erforderliche Reinigungsqualität kann hier teilweise nur ungenügend bzw. unter erhöhtem Wassereinsatz für den Reinigungsgang gewährt werden.The problem areas during the cleaning process in conventional dishwashers are mainly in the marginal plate rows. Here, a particular problem zone, the lower edge of the front plate row is. The required cleaning quality can be granted here sometimes insufficient or under increased water use for the cleaning cycle.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen verbesserten Geschirrkorb der eingangs genannten Art bereitzustellen, durch den eine verbesserte Reinigungswirkung des unteren, der Seitenwand des Geschirrkorbes zugewandten Randbereiches der vordersten Tellerreihe gewährleistet wird. Erfindungsgemäß gelingt dies durch einen Geschirrkorb mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.The object of the invention is to provide an improved crockery basket of the type mentioned above, by which an improved cleaning effect of the lower, the side wall of the crockery basket facing edge region of the front plate row is guaranteed. This is achieved by a crockery basket according to the invention with the features of claim 1.

Durch diese Abstufung der Seitenwand wird eine Zugänglichkeit eines von unten auf den Geschirrkorb im allgemeinen schräg auftreffenden Wasserstrahls auf die Vorderseite des unteren Randbereiches eines der Seitenwand zugewandten Tellers geschaffen. Die Reinigung dieses Bereiches des Tellers wird dadurch verbessert. Das gleiche gilt auch für andere in diesem Bereich liegende Teile von im Geschirrkorb eingebrachtem zu reinigendem Geschirr.By this gradation of the side wall accessibility of a bottom of the dish rack generally obliquely impinging jet of water is created on the front of the lower edge region of a side wall facing plate. The cleaning of this area of the plate is thereby improved. The same applies to other parts in this area of dishwashing dishes to be cleaned.

In einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß zumindest ein Teil der ersten Stege mit Abstand zur Seitenwand endet, wobei die von Seitenwänden beabstandeten Enden der ersten Stege über Verbindungsstege miteinander verbunden sind. Die Abschattungswirkung der Stege, insbesondere für schräg auf den Boden des Korbes auftreffende Wasserstrahlen, wird dadurch im an die Seitenwände angrenzenden Bereich des Geschirrkorbes verringert, so daß die Reinigungswirkung in den kritischen Bereichen des Geschirrkorbes weiter verbessert werden kann.In a preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that at least a part of the first webs ends at a distance from the side wall, wherein the side walls of spaced apart ends of the first webs are interconnected via connecting webs. The shading effect of the webs, in particular for obliquely impinging on the bottom of the basket water jets, is thereby reduced in adjacent to the side walls portion of the crockery basket, so that the cleaning effect in the critical areas of the crockery basket can be further improved.

Ein in den Zeichnungen dargestellter erfindungsgemäßer Geschirrkorb für Geschirrspülmaschinen, insbesondere für den gewerblichen Einsatz umfaßt Seitenwände 1, die mit fensterartigen Durchbrechungen 2 versehen sind, und einen Boden 3. Der Boden 3 weist erste, ein Auflagegitter bildende Leisten oder Stege 4 sowie zweite Leisten oder Stege 5 auf. Diese Teile des Geschirrkorbes sind einstückig ausgebildet, insbesondere in der Form eines Kunststoff-Spritzgußteiles. Die zweiten Stege 5 besitzen eine größere Höhe als die ersten Stege 4 und liegen - über den Großteil ihrer Höhe - unterhalb der ersten Stege.An inventive dish rack for dishwashers, especially for commercial use shown in the drawings comprises side walls 1, which are provided with window-like openings 2, and a bottom 3. The bottom 3 has first, a support grid forming strips or webs 4 and second strips or webs 5 on. These parts of the dish rack are integrally formed, in particular in the form of a plastic injection molded part. The second webs 5 have a greater height than the first webs 4 and lie - over the majority of their height - below the first webs.

An Kreuzungspunkten des von den ersten Stegen 4 gebildeten Auflagegitters sind einstückig mit den ersten Stegen ausgebildete, nach oben abstehende Zapfen 6 angeordnet, die zur Abstützung von in den Geschirrkorb einzuordnendem Geschirr, insbesondere Tellern, vorgesehen sind und weiters Widerhaken 7 zur Halterung des am unteren Bereich eines Zapfens 6 anliegenden Randes eines Tellers aufweisen. Es könnten auch anders ausgebildete bzw. geformte Halterungselemente für das vom Geschirrkorb aufzunehmende Geschirr vorgesehen sein.At crossing points of the support web formed by the first webs 4, integrally formed with the first webs, upstanding pins 6 are arranged, which are provided for supporting einzuordnendem in the dish rack crockery, especially plates, and further barbs 7 for holding at the bottom having a pin 6 adjoining edge of a plate. It could also be designed differently shaped or shaped support members for the dishes to be received by the crockery basket.

Die über die ersten Stege 4 nach unten vorstehenden zweiten Stege 5 dienen einerseits zur Erhöhung der Stabilität des Bodens 3, indem sie ein aufgrund ihrer größeren Höhe besonders stabiles Grundgitter des Bodens ausbilden. Weiters wird durch diese Stege 5 ein Mitnehmerkreuz für den Eingriff von zapfenartigen Transportmitteln zum Transport des Geschirrkorbes entlang einer Förderbahn gebildet. Dazu werden von den zweiten Stegen 5 einerseits vier randseitige Transportleitern 8, die jeweils entlang einer Seitenkante des Bodens verlaufen, und zwei mittlere Transportleitern 9 gebildet, die senkrecht zueinander jeweils zwischen zwei Seitenkanten des Bodens verlaufen und sich über den Mittelpunkt des Bodens erstrecken.On the one hand, the second webs 5 projecting downwards over the first webs 4 serve to increase the stability of the bottom 3 by forming a base grating of the bottom which is particularly stable due to its greater height. Furthermore, by these webs 5 a Mitnehmerkreuz formed for the engagement of peg-like transport means for the transport of the dish rack along a conveyor track. For this purpose, on the one hand, four edge-side transport ladders 8, each running along one side edge of the floor, and two middle transport ladders 9, each perpendicular to each other between two side edges of the floor and extending over the center of the floor.

Im Überkreuzungsbereich der beiden mittleren Transportleitern 9 wird von zweiten Stegen 5 ein rechteckiges oder quadratisches Feld 21 abgegrenzt. In diesem Feld 21 erstreckt sich ein L-förmiger Steg 22, der mit seinen Enden mit zwei senkrecht zueinander stehenden zweiten Stegen 5, die dieses Feld 21 abgrenzen, verbunden ist. Es wird dadurch ein innerhalb des Feldes 21 liegendes kleineres rechteckiges oder quadratisches Feld 23 ausgebildet. Durch diese Ausbildung des Überkreuzungsbereiches der beiden mittleren Transportleitern 9 wird der Transport des Geschirrkorbes um einen Kurvenbereich der Förderbahn erleichtert. Es hat sich gezeigt, daß dadurch meist ein Transporthub der zapfenartigen Transportmittel eingespart werden kann, so daß die Durchlaufgeschwindigkeit des Geschirrkorbes vergrößert wird.In the crossing region of the two middle transport conductors 9, a rectangular or square field 21 is delimited by second webs 5. In this field 21 extends an L-shaped web 22, which is connected at its ends with two mutually perpendicular second webs 5, which delimit this field 21. As a result, a smaller rectangular or square field 23 located within the field 21 is formed. As a result of this design of the crossover region of the two middle transport conductors 9, the transport of the crockery basket around a curved region of the conveyor track is facilitated. It has been shown that this usually a transport stroke of the peg-like transport can be saved, so that the passage speed of the dish rack is increased.

Die Seitenwände 1 sind abgestuft ausgebildet, wobei ein weiter innen liegender oberer Abschnitt 10 mit einem weiter außen liegenden unteren Abschnitt 11 über einen winkelig zur Vertikalen verlaufenden Verbindungsabschnitt 12 verbunden ist. Bevorzugterweise liegt der Winkel 13, den der Verbindungsabschnitt 12 mit der Vertikalen einschließt im Bereich zwischen 30 und 75°. Die von den ersten Stegen gebildete Auflagefläche 14 liegt unterhalb des Verbindungsabschnitts 13. Wie in Fig. 6 schematisch eingezeichnet ist, werden von schräg unten auf den Geschirrkorb auftreffende Wasserstrahlen 15 vom unteren Abschnitt 11 bzw. vom Verbindungsabschnitt 12 umgelenkt, so daß sie auf die Vorderseite des der Seitenwand 1 benachbarten unteren Randbereichs eines Tellers 16 treffen und die Reinigungswirkung dieses Bereichs des Tellers wird dadurch verbessert.The side walls 1 are stepped, wherein a further inwardly located upper portion 10 is connected to a further outer lower portion 11 via an angularly extending to the vertical connecting portion 12. Preferably, the angle 13, the connecting portion 12 includes with the vertical in the range between 30 and 75 °. The bearing surface 14 formed by the first webs is below the connecting portion 13. As in Fig. 6 is schematically drawn, are incident from obliquely from below onto the dish rack water jets 15 from the lower portion 11 and the connecting portion 12 so that they meet the front side of the side wall 1 adjacent bottom edge portion of a plate 16 and the cleaning effect of this area of the plate is thereby improved.

Zwischen den Eckbereichen des Geschirrkorbes enden die ersten Stege 4 mit Abstand zu den Seitenwänden 1, wobei die von den Seitenwänden 1 beabstandeten Enden der ersten Stege 4 über Verbindungsstege 17 miteinander verbunden sind, die parallel zur benachbarten Seitenwand 1 verlaufen. Die Zugänglichkeit des Wassers des von unten auf den Geschirrkorb auftreffenden Stahls der Geschirrspülmaschine zum unteren Randbereich des Tellers 16 wird dadurch weiter verbessert. An den Ecken selbst sind die ersten Stege 4 aber aus Stabilitätsgründen an die Seitenwände angebunden.
Die Eckbereiche sind jedoch von den zweiten Stegen 5 freigestellt. Zu diesem Zweck enden die parallel zu den benachbarten Seitenwänden 1 verlaufenden zweiten Stege 5 der randseitigen Transportleitern 8 mit Abstand von den rechtwinklig zu ihnen liegenden Seitenwänden und sind über einen rechtwinklig zur benachbarten Seitenwand verlaufenden zweiten Steg 5 mit dieser verbunden, wie insbesondere aus Fig. 4 ersichtlich ist. Durch diese Freistellung des Eckbereichs von den zweiten Stegen 5 entfällt die Abschattungswirkung des Eckbereichs durch diese zweiten Stege 5 für einen schräg von unten in Richtung auf den Eckbereich einfallenden Wasserstrahl. Aufgrund der relativ großen Höhe der zweiten Stege 5 ist die Abschattungswirkung der zweiten Stege 5 für solche Wasserstrahlen besonders groß.
Between the corner regions of the crockery basket, the first webs 4 terminate at a distance from the side walls 1, wherein the spaced apart from the side walls 1 ends of the first webs 4 are connected to each other via connecting webs 17 which are parallel to the adjacent side wall 1. The accessibility of the water of the steel of the dishwasher from below onto the dish rack to the lower edge region of the plate 16 is thereby further improved. At the corners themselves, however, the first webs 4 are connected to the side walls for stability reasons.
However, the corner areas are exempted from the second webs 5. For this purpose, the second webs 5 of the edge-side transport conductors 8 which run parallel to the adjacent side walls 1 terminate at a distance from the side walls lying at right angles to them and are connected to the same via a second web 5 running at right angles to the adjacent side wall in particular Fig. 4 is apparent. By this release of the corner region of the second webs 5 eliminates the shading effect of the corner region through these second webs 5 for an obliquely from below in the direction of the corner region incident water jet. Due to the relatively large height of the second webs 5, the shading effect of the second webs 5 for such water jets is particularly large.

Zur Erhöhung der Stabilität des Bodens des Geschirrkorbes umfassen die höher ausgebildeten zweiten Stege 5 neben parallel zu den Seitenwänden verlaufenden Stege auch schräg zu den Seitenwänden verlaufende Stege (vgl. insbesondere Fig. 3), die jeweils zwischen den Stegen 5 einer randseitigen Transportleiter 8 und einer mittleren Transportleiter 9 verlaufen und dadurch eine fachwerkartige Struktur der zweiten Stege 5 ausbilden.To increase the stability of the bottom of the crockery basket, the higher-trained second webs 5 also comprise webs running obliquely to the side walls, in addition to webs running parallel to the side walls (cf. Fig. 3 ), each extending between the webs 5 a peripheral transport conductor 8 and a central transport conductor 9 and thereby form a truss-like structure of the second webs 5.

In den an die Seitenwände 1 angrenzenden Randbereichen der zweiten Stege 5 sind nach oben bis zu den Verbindungsabschnitten 12 verlaufende und an den unteren Abschnitten 11 und an den Verbindungsabschnitten 12 angebundene Rippen 18 vorgesehen. Diese bilden auch Abstandshalter von den Seitenwänden 1 bzw. deren unteren Abschnitten 11 für in den Wäschekorb eingesetzte Geschirrstücke, beispielsweise Teller 16. An den oberen Abschnitt 10 schließt eine obere Abstufung 20 der Seitenwand 1 nach außen an. Zwischen dieser oberen Abstufung 20 und dem Verbindungsabschnitt 12 verlaufen rechtwinklig zur Seitenwand stehende Verstärkungsrippen 19.In the adjacent to the side walls 1 edge regions of the second webs 5 upwardly to the connecting portions 12 extending and attached to the lower portions 11 and to the connecting portions 12 ribs 18 are provided. These also form spacers of the side walls 1 and their lower portions 11 for inserted into the laundry utensils, such as plate 16. At the upper portion 10 includes an upper step 20 of the side wall 1 to the outside. Between this upper step 20 and the connecting portion 12 extend perpendicular to the side wall standing reinforcing ribs 19th

Unterschiedliche Abänderungen des gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiels sind denkbar und möglich, ohne den Bereich der Erfindung zu verlassen. Durch einen erfindungsgemäßen Geschirrkorb wird eine bestmögliche Wasserzugänglichkeit an das Waschgut zur Erreichung einwandfreier hygienischer Waschresultate erzielt. Der Geschirrkorb weist dabei eine stabile Grundkonstruktion, die bei einer Dauerbelastung durch Wärme und Gewicht im gewerblichen Wasch- und Spülvorgang nicht zu einer Deformation des Korbes führt. Gegenüber herkömmlichen Körben kann dabei das Eigengewicht des Korbes reduziert werden. Aufgrund der niedereren Masse wird dadurch dem System beim Herausführen eines erhitzten Korbes nach dem Waschvorgang, beispielsweise bei einer Korbdurchlaufmaschine, weniger Wärmeenergie entzogen. Bei einer gegebenen Maschine kommt es dadurch zu einer höheren Temperatur in der Waschkammer und damit zu einem besseren Waschresultat.Various modifications of the embodiment shown are conceivable and possible without departing from the scope of the invention. By a crockery basket according to the invention the best possible water accessibility to the laundry to achieve flawless hygienic washing results is achieved. The crockery basket has a stable basic construction, which does not lead to a deformation of the basket at a continuous load by heat and weight in commercial washing and rinsing. Compared to conventional baskets while the weight of the basket can be reduced. Due to the lower mass is thereby the system when taking out a heated basket after the washing process, for example, in a basket throughput machine, less heat energy withdrawn. For a given machine, this results in a higher temperature in the wash chamber and thus a better wash result.
