Description

Einsatz für einen Geschirrkorb einer Geschirrspülmaschine Use for a dish rack in a dishwasher
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Einsatz für einen Geschirrkorb einer Geschirrspülmaschine nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to an insert for a crockery basket of a dishwasher according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
Aus dem deutschen Patent DE 36 41 020 ist ein Einsatz für einen Geschirrkorb in einer Geschirrspülmaschine zum Reinigen und Trocknen von Besteckteilen und Kleingeschirr bekannt. Dabei weist zumindest ein Geschirrkorb einen darin einsetzbaren Besteckkorb mit jeweils in dem Besteckkorbboden und den Besteckkorbseitenwänden vorhandenen Durchbrüchen für den Durchtritt von Spülflüssigkeit auf. Der Einsatz weist mehrere Ein- satzfächer auf, die durch Trennwände voneinander abgegrenzt sind. Zusätzlich ist ein Tablett mit weiteren Durchbrüchen für einhängbare Besteckteile und/oder Halterungen bzw. Aufnahmen für Kleingeschirr in den Korbboden des Geschirrkorbs einsetzbar oder auf den Besteckkorb deckeiförmig aufsetzbar.From the German patent DE 36 41 020 an insert for a crockery basket in a dishwasher for cleaning and drying cutlery items and small dishes is known. In this case, at least one crockery basket has a cutlery basket that can be inserted therein, each with openings in the cutlery basket base and the cutlery basket side walls for the passage of washing liquid. The insert has several insert compartments that are separated from one another by partitions. In addition, a tray with further openings for attachable cutlery parts and / or holders or receptacles for small dishes can be inserted in the basket base of the crockery basket or placed on the cutlery basket in a cover shape.
Der bekannte Besteckkorb hat trotz unterschiedlich großer bzw. langer Besteckteile überall die gleiche Nutzhöhe. Manche Besteckteile stehen in den Einsatzfachern, andere - besonders die kleinen Teile - sind in den Durchbrüchen des Tabletts eingehängt. Die eingehängten, aber auch die anliegenden Besteckteile sind bezüglich des Abflusses von Spülflüssigkeitstropfen kritisch, so dass Trockenflecken an den Stellen der Besteckteile entstehen, an denen diese an dem Einsatz anliegen.The well-known cutlery basket has the same usable height everywhere, despite different sized or long cutlery items. Some cutlery parts are in the insert compartments, others - especially the small parts - are hung in the openings in the tray. The attached, but also the adjacent cutlery parts are critical with regard to the drainage of drops of washing liquid, so that dry spots occur at the locations of the cutlery parts where they are in contact with the insert.
In den deutschen Offenlegungsschriften 195 40 610 und 195 40 611 sind - auch als Etageren bezeichnete - Ablagen für Geschirrkörbe in einer Geschirrspülmaschine beschrieben, die jeweils als Einsatz zum Reinigen und Trocknen von Besteckteilen und/oder Kleingeschirr fest oder beweglich mit dem Geschirrkorb verbunden und/oder lose angeordnet sein können.In the German laid-open documents 195 40 610 and 195 40 611 - also known as etageren - shelves for crockery baskets in a dishwasher are described, each of which is used as an insert for cleaning and drying cutlery items and / or small crockery or is connected to the crockery basket in a fixed or movable manner and / or can be arranged loosely.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, einen Einsatz der beschriebenen Arten zu schaffen, durch den ein gegenüber bekannten Lösungen verbessertes Trocknungser- gebnis erzielbar ist. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 erfindungsgemäß gelöst. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.The invention is based on the object of creating an application of the types described, by means of which an improved drying result compared to known solutions can be achieved. This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of patent claim 1. Developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.
Ausgehend von einem Einsatz mit durch Trennwände voneinander abgegrenzten Einsatzfächern weisen gemäß dem Gegenstand der Erfindung zumindest zwei Einsatzfacher in verschiedenen Höhen angeordnete Fachböden zum Einstellen von unterschiedlichen Besteckteilen und/oder Kleingeschirr auf. Insgesamt ergibt sich durch den erfindungsgemäß gestalteten Einsatz ein gegenüber bekannten Lösungen wesentlich verbessertes Trocknungsergebnis für die in den Einsatz eingeordneten Besteckteile und/oder Kleingeschirr. Die Besteckteile und/oder das Kleingeschirr können abhängig von ihrer jeweiligen Länge/Größe/Form in das Einsatzfach mit zugehörigem Fachboden in der geeigneten Höhe eingestellt werden, so dass sie am Fachboden aufstehen und nicht mehr eingehängt werden müssen. Der Ablauf von Spülflüssigkeitstropfen, die ansonsten zu den unerwünschten Trockenflecken führten, wird unterstützt. Das Einhängen besonders der kleinen Teile in eine Abdeckung, was die erwähnten Ablaufprobleme für die Tropfen verur- sacht, entfällt durch die Einsatzfacher mit unterschiedlich hohen Fachböden. Die Trocknungsverbesserung kommt zusätzlich auch der Reinigungsleistung eines Spül- und Trocknungsprogramms einer Geschirrspülmaschine zu Gute.Starting from an insert with insert compartments separated from one another by dividing walls, according to the subject matter of the invention, at least two insert compartments have shelves arranged at different heights for setting different cutlery items and / or small crockery. Overall, the use designed according to the invention results in a drying result which is significantly improved compared to known solutions for the cutlery items and / or small dishes classified in the use. Depending on their length / size / shape, the cutlery items and / or small dishes can be placed in the insert compartment with the associated shelf at the appropriate height so that they stand up on the shelf and no longer have to be hung up. The drainage of drops of rinsing liquid, which would otherwise lead to the undesirable dry stains, is supported. Hanging in particular the small parts in a cover, which causes the mentioned drainage problems for the drops, is eliminated by the insert compartments with shelves of different heights. The improvement in drying also benefits the cleaning performance of a dishwashing and drying program in a dishwasher.
Gemäß einer besonders günstigen Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind die Höhen der Fach- böden an die Länge und/oder Größe der Besteckteile und/oder des Kleingeschirrs anpassbar. Dadurch entstehen je nach Bedarf partiell in der Nutzhöhe angepasste Sektionen als variable Einsatzfacher, die zu einem variabel gestaltbaren Einsatz für unterschiedlichste Besteckteile und/oder Kleingeschirr kombiniert werden können.According to a particularly advantageous development of the invention, the heights of the shelves can be adapted to the length and / or size of the cutlery items and / or the small dishes. This creates sections that are partially adjusted in terms of usable height as variable insert compartments, which can be combined to form a variable insert for a wide variety of cutlery items and / or small dishes.
Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Variante bilden die Einsatzfacher einen Besteckkorb, der durch die Fachböden einen unterschiedliche Nutzhöhen aufweisenden Besteckkorbboden aufweist.According to an advantageous variant, the insert compartments form a cutlery basket which, due to the shelves, has a cutlery basket base with different usable heights.
Der Gegenstand der Erfindung wird anhand eines in der einzigen Figur dargestellten Aus- führungsbeispiels näher erläutert, die eine stark vereinfachte - für die Darstellung des Prinzips der Erfindung aber ausreichende - Seitenansicht eines gemäß des Gegenstandes der Erfindung gestalteten Einsatzes mit mehreren Einsatzfächern zeigt. Der Einsatz ist im Ausführungsbeispiel als Besteckkorb 1 zur Bestückung mit Besteckteilen und/oder Kleingeschirr - im gewählten Beispiel mit Löffeln 2 und 3 unterschiedlicher Länge bzw. Größe - ausgebildet. Dieser Besteckkorb 1 kann in einer Geschirrspülmaschine in einem Geschirrkorb lose angeordnet oder daran fest oder beweglich angebracht sein. Der prinzipielle Aufbau dieses Besteckkorbes 1 mit Seitenwänden, Boden und/oder Abdeckung entspricht dem im deutschen Patent DE 3641 020 beschriebenen Einsatz.The subject matter of the invention is explained in more detail with reference to an exemplary embodiment shown in the single figure, which shows a greatly simplified side view of an insert with multiple insert compartments designed according to the subject matter of the invention, but sufficient for the representation of the principle of the invention. The insert is in the exemplary embodiment as a cutlery basket 1 for fitting with cutlery parts and / or Small dishes - in the selected example with spoons 2 and 3 of different lengths or sizes - formed. This cutlery basket 1 can be loosely arranged in a dishwasher in a dishwasher or attached to it in a fixed or movable manner. The basic structure of this cutlery basket 1 with side walls, bottom and / or cover corresponds to the use described in German patent DE 3641 020.
Der Besteckkorb 1 umfasst in dem gewählten Beispiel insgesamt drei Einsatzfacher 4, 5 und 6, die durch zwei vertikal verlaufende Trennwände 7 und 8 voneinander abgegrenzt sind. Prinzipiell kann der Besteckkorb auch eine andere Anzahl - zumindest aber zwei getrennte - Fächer haben. Erfindungsgemäß weisen zumindest zwei Einsatzfacher, bei- spielsweise hier die Einsatzfacher 4 und 5 oder 5 und 6 in verschiedenen Höhen angeordnete Fachböden 4' und 5' oder 5' und 6' auf. So wird der lange Löffel 2 - wie gezeigt - in das Einsatzfach 4 mit zugehörigem Fachboden 4' und längerer Nutzhöhe eingestellt, so dass er auf dem Fachboden 4' sicher aufsteht. Auch ein Einstellen des Löffels 2 in das Einsatzfach 6, dessen Fachboden 6' im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel auf gleicher Höhe mit dem des Einsatzfaches 4' liegt, ist möglich. Demgegenüber dient das im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel in der Mitte gelegene Einsatzfach 5 zur Aufnahme bzw. zum Einstellen des kurzen Löffels 3, damit auch dieser sicher auf dem zugehörigen Fachboden 5' aufsteht.In the selected example, the cutlery basket 1 comprises a total of three compartments 4, 5 and 6, which are delimited from one another by two vertically extending partitions 7 and 8. In principle, the cutlery basket can also have a different number - or at least two separate compartments. According to the invention, at least two insert compartments, for example here insert compartments 4 and 5 or 5 and 6, have shelves 4 'and 5' or 5 'and 6' arranged at different heights. Thus, the long spoon 2 - as shown - is inserted into the insert compartment 4 with the associated shelf 4 'and a longer useful height, so that it stands securely on the shelf 4'. It is also possible to insert the spoon 2 into the insert compartment 6, the shelf 6 'of which, in the exemplary embodiment shown, lies at the same level as that of the insert compartment 4'. In contrast, the insert compartment 5, which is located in the middle in the exemplary embodiment shown, serves for receiving or adjusting the short spoon 3, so that this also stands securely on the associated shelf 5 ′.
Vorzugsweise weisen die drei Einsatzfacher 4, 5, 6 auf unterschiedlichen Höhen gelegene Fachböden 4', 5', 6' auf, damit sich verschiedene, partiell in den einzelnen Sektionen anpassbare Nutzhöhen für den Besteckkorb 1 ergeben. Insgesamt entsteht durch die in ihrer Höhe individuellen Fachböden 4', 5', 6' der Einsatzfacher 4, 5, 6 ein Besteckkorbboden mit unterschiedlicher Nutzhöhe. Dadurch ist eine Anhebung und eine Absenkung des Be- steckkorbbodens in ausgewählten Sektionen möglich, um das Trocknungsresultat bei Bestückung des Einsatzes besonders mit Besteckteilen und/oder mit Kleingeschirr unterschiedlichster Länge, Größe, Form usw. zu optimieren. Die Trocknungsverbesserung gelingt durch die erfindungsgemäße variable Gestaltung des Einsatzes, dadurch dass der Spülflüssigkeitstropfenabfluss eines unterschiedliche Nutzhöhen aufweisenden Besteck- korbbodens begünstigt wird. Die auf den Fachböden 4', 5', 6' in jedem Fall aufstehenden Besteckteile und/oder Kleingeschirr sind eher trocken. Das rasche und selbständige Ableiten der Spülflüssigkeit auf den in entsprechende Einsatzfacher 4, 5, 6 mit geeigneter Höhe der zugehörigen Fachböden 4', 5', 6' optimiert nicht nur die Trocknungsleistung, sondern verbessert außerdem in vorteilhafter Weise auch die Reinigungsleistung eines Spül- und Trocknungsprogramms einer Geschirrspülmaschine. The three insert compartments 4, 5, 6 preferably have shelves 4 ', 5', 6 'located at different heights, so that there are different usable heights for the cutlery basket 1 which can be partially adjusted in the individual sections. Overall, the individual shelves 4 ', 5', 6 'of the insert compartments 4, 5, 6 create a cutlery basket shelf with different usable heights. This makes it possible to raise and lower the cutlery basket base in selected sections in order to optimize the drying result when the insert is loaded, especially with cutlery items and / or small items of various lengths, sizes, shapes, etc. Drying is improved by the variable design of the insert according to the invention, in that the washing liquid drop outflow from a cutlery basket base having different usable heights is favored. The cutlery and / or small dishes that stand on the shelves 4 ', 5', 6 'in any case are rather dry. The rapid and independent draining of the rinsing liquid onto the appropriate compartments 4, 5, 6 with a suitable height of the associated shelves 4 ', 5', 6 'not only optimizes the drying performance, but also advantageously also improves the cleaning performance of a dishwashing and drying program in a dishwasher.
