Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine programmgesteuerte Spülmaschine mit einem Spülraum und einem Sicherheitsüberlauf nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a program-controlled dishwasher with a washing compartment and a Safety overflow according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine derartige Spülmaschine mit einem Sicherheitsüberlauf ist bspw. aus der DE 39 30 578 A1 bekannt. Die bekannte Spülmaschine besitzt einen Spülraum, der mit einer ventilgesteuerten Frischwasserzulaufleitung und einer Ablaufpumpe strömungsmäßig verbunden ist.Such a dishwasher with a safety overflow is, for example, from DE 39 30 578 A1 known. The known dishwasher has a washing compartment, which with a valve-controlled Fresh water supply line and a drain pump is fluidly connected.

Um beim Auftreten einer Störung, bei der ein Wasserzulauf ungesteuert in den Spülraum erfolgt, einen gezielten Wasserüberlauf herbeizuführen und ein Fluten der Umgebung des Geräts zu vermeiden, ist der Spülraum flüssigkeitsleitend mit einem Sicherheitsüberlauf verbunden. Dieser weist eine Überlaufkante zum Spülraum und einen in das Wassernetz oder in eine Auffangwanne mündenden Ablauf auf, wobei die Überlaufkante oberhalb des beim Spülen im Spülraum vorliegenden Flüssigkeitsniveaus angeordnet ist. Bei einem solchen offenen Sicherheitsüberlauf besteht der Nachteil, dass Gerüche von verschmutztem Spülgut aus dem Spülraum über den Sicherheitsüberlauf in die Umgebung des Geräts gelangen können. Ferner kann sich durch Wassertropfen oder Wrasenbildung mehr oder weniger Flüssigkeit im Sicherheitsüberlauf absetzen, welche bei längerer Verweilzeit verkeimen kann. Dies ist schon aus hygienischen Gründen zu vermeiden.To prevent the occurrence of a malfunction in which a water supply uncontrolled in the washing room takes place, to bring about a purposeful water overflow and a flood of the environment of the To avoid equipment, the washing compartment is liquid-conducting with a safety overflow connected. This has an overflow edge to the sink and one in the water network or opening into a drip tray drain, wherein the overflow edge above the at Rinsing in the washing space present liquid levels is arranged. In such a open safety overflow has the disadvantage that odors from dirty items from the flushing chamber via the safety overflow into the environment of the device can. Furthermore, water droplets or vapor formation can be more or less Settle liquid in the safety overflow, which can germinate with a longer residence time. This is to be avoided for hygienic reasons.

Der Erfindung stellt sich hiervon ausgehend somit das Problem, eine programmgesteuerte Spülmaschine zu offenbaren, bei welcher der Luftweg vom Spülraum durch den Sicherheitsüberlauf zur Umgebung unterbrochen ist.On this basis, the invention thus arises the problem of a program-controlled Dishwasher to reveal in which the airway from the washing compartment through the Safety overflow to the environment is interrupted.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem durch eine programmgesteuerte Spülmaschine der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, dass der Sicherheitsüberlauf vom Spülraum über eine Flüssigkeitsleitung in ein zur Aufnahme einer austauschbaren Wasservorlage vorgesehenes Wasserreservoir führt, welches unterhalb der Überlaufkante in einer ersten Kammer gebildet ist, die einen oberhalb des Niveaus der Überlaufkante angeordneten Überlauf zu einer zweiten Kammer aufweist, an welcher der Ablauf durch die Wasservorlage getrennt vom Spülraum angeschlossen ist.According to the invention, this problem is solved by a program-controlled dishwasher The above-mentioned type achieved in that the safety overflow from the washing compartment via a Liquid line in a provided for receiving a replaceable water mask Water reservoir, which is formed below the overflow edge in a first chamber, the one arranged above the level of the overflow edge overflow to a second Chamber at which the flow through the water mask separated from the washing compartment connected.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den an Anspruch 1 anschließenden Unteransprüchen.Advantageous embodiments and developments of the invention will become apparent from the Claim 1 subsequent subclaims.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Trennung des Spülraums und des Ablaufs wird der Vorteil erreicht, dass Gerüche oder bspw. über Dampf transportierte Bakterien sicher im Spülraum isoliert sind, wo diese durch an sich bekannte Maßnahmen abgetötet werden können. Ferner ist durch die Trennung des Spülraums und des Ablaufs die Forderung des DVGW's erfüllt, wonach die Trennung von einem Spülraum und einem Ablauf eines Sicherheitsüberlaufs elektrisch spannungslos und ohne bewegte Teile zu erfolgen hat.The separation according to the invention of the washing compartment and the drain is the advantage Achieves odors or, for example, over steam-transported bacteria safely in the dishwasher are isolated, where they can be killed by measures known per se. Further is by the separation of the washing compartment and the drainage the requirement of the DVGW fulfilled, after which the separation of a washing compartment and a drain of a safety overflow electrical without tension and without moving parts has to be done.

Erfindungsgemäß besteht eine Trennung zwischen Spülraum und Ablauf, sobald die Ausgangsöffnung der Flüssigkeitsleitung in die Wasservorlage taucht. Eine erfindungsgemäße Weiterbildung sieht hierzu vor, dass die Flüssigkeitsleitung bis weit unter die Überlaufkante in das Wasserreservoir geführt ist, so dass lediglich eine geringe Wasservorlage zur Trennung des Spülraums und des Ablaufs ausreicht.According to the invention there is a separation between the washing compartment and drain when the Discharge opening of the liquid line immersed in the water mask. An inventive Continuing this provides that the liquid line to well below the overflow edge in the water reservoir is guided, so that only a small water mask for separation of the washing compartment and the drain sufficient.

Damit der komplette Spülraum zur Reinigung von Spülgut genutzt werden kann, sieht eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung vor, dass der Sicherheitsüberlauf an der Spülraumaußenwand angeordnet ist. Ferner wird durch diese Anordnung erreicht, dass der Sicherheitsüberlauf im Bedarfsfall leicht zugänglich und demontierbar ist.In order to be able to use the complete flushing room for cleaning items, one sees Advantageous development of the invention that the safety overflow at the Dish outer wall is arranged. Furthermore, it is achieved by this arrangement that the If necessary, the safety overflow is easily accessible and removable.

Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Lehre sieht vor, dass der Überlauf vorzugsweise um ein mehrfaches höher als das höchste erreichbare Niveau der Wasservorlage in der ersten Kammer ist. Gemäß dieser Weiterbildung kann die Wasservorlage aus dem Sicherheitsüberlauf bei einem ungestörten und regulären Spülbetrieb lediglich über die Überlaufkante in den Spülraum abfließen, wo sie am Ende jedes wasserführenden Programmabschnitts mit der Reinigungsflüssigkeit abgepumpt wird. Hierdurch wird der Vorteil erreicht, dass sich keine Flüssigkeit in der zweiten Kammer sammelt und verkeimt.An advantageous development of the teaching according to the invention provides that the overflow preferably several times higher than the highest achievable level of the water mask in the first chamber. According to this development, the water mask from the Safety overflow during undisturbed and regular flushing operation only via the Overflow edge drain into the sink, where it ends at the end of each water Program section is pumped with the cleaning fluid. This will be the advantage ensures that no liquid collects in the second chamber and germinated.

Damit ein unkontrollierter Wasserzulauf in den Spülraum rechtzeitig und wirksam gestoppt werden kann, sieht eine Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Lehre vorteilhaft vor, dass ein signalmäßig mit den Ventilen der Frischwasserzulaufleitung verbundener Schwimmerschalter vorgesehen ist, der in der ersten Kammer oberhalb der Überlaufkante oder in der zweiten Kammer unterhalb des Überlaufs angeordnet ist. Dabei ist es zweckmäßig, dass der Schwimmerschalter zusätzlich mit der Ablaufpumpe signalmäßig verbunden ist, um diese im Bedarfsfall automatisch und unverzüglich anzusteuern. Durch die vorgenannten Maßnahmen zur Behebung eines unkontrollierten Wasserzulaufs wird der Vorteil erreicht, dass eine bspw. kontaminierte Reinigungsflüssigkeit nicht über den Ablauf in die Ablaufwanne oder in das Abwassernetz läuft. Thus an uncontrolled water inflow into the flushing room stopped in time and effectively a development of the teaching according to the invention advantageously provides that a signal-wise with the valves of the fresh water supply line connected float switch is provided in the first chamber above the overflow edge or in the second Chamber is arranged below the overflow. It is expedient that the Float switch is additionally connected signal to the drain pump to this in the If necessary, automatically and immediately to control. By the above measures To eliminate an uncontrolled water supply, the advantage is achieved that a example. contaminated cleaning fluid does not flow into the drain pan or into the drain Sewer network is running.

Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Lehre sieht vor, dass die Einlauföffnung des Ablaufs oberhalb des Kammerbodens angeordnet ist. Durch diese Maßnahme wird die Zeit zum wirksamen Entgegenwirken der Störung gewonnen, die das Wasser bis zum Anstieg auf die Höhe der Einlauföffnung braucht. Ein wirksames Entgegenwirken kann durch das Einschalten der Entleerungspumpe und dem Schließen der Ventile in der Frischwasserleitung erreicht werden.An advantageous development of the teaching according to the invention provides that the inlet opening the drain is arranged above the chamber floor. This measure is the time to effectively counteract the disruption gained by the water up to the rise the height of the inlet opening needs. An effective counteraction can be achieved by the Switching on the drain pump and closing the valves in the fresh water line be achieved.

Eine weitere Ausbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Lehre sieht vor, dass der Ablauf einen derart großen Innendurchmesser aufweist, dass beim Fluten des Sicherheitsüberlaufs der Wasserablauf schneller als der Wasserzulauf erfolgt. Hierdurch wird vorteilhaft vermieden, dass sich ein Saughebereffekt ausbildet und die gesamte im Spülraum befindliche Reinigungsflüssigkeit abgeführt wird.A further embodiment of the teaching according to the invention provides that the sequence is such large inside diameter has that when flooding the safety overflow the Water drain faster than the water inlet takes place. This advantageously prevents that an absorbent effect is formed and the entire cleaning fluid in the washing compartment is dissipated.

Eine zweckmäßige Ausbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Lehre sieht vor, dass der Ablauf in der zweiten Kammer durch ein Rohrstück ausgebildet ist, welches durch den Kammerboden in den Kammerraum hineinragt.An expedient embodiment of the teaching according to the invention provides that the sequence in the second chamber is formed by a pipe piece, which through the chamber bottom in the Chamber space protrudes.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die programmgesteuerte Spülmaschine gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ein Desinfektionsprogramm beinhaltet und zum Desinfizieren von in der Medizin eingesetzten Instrumenten dient, da durch die erfindungsgemäße Trennung vom Spülraum und Ablauf gefährliche an den Instrumenten anhaftende Krankheitserreger sicher im Spülraum isoliert und dort mittels der Desinfektion unschädlich gemacht werden können.It is particularly advantageous if the program-controlled dishwasher according to a development the invention includes a disinfection program and for disinfecting in the Medicine used instruments, since the separation of the invention Dishwasher and drain dangerous on the instruments adhering pathogens safely in Washroom isolated and can be made harmless there by means of disinfection.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist anhand einer Zeichnung rein schematisch dargestellt und wird nachfolgend näher beschrieben.An embodiment of the invention is shown purely schematically with reference to a drawing and will be described in more detail below.

Die Zeichnung zeigt einen Sicherheitsüberlauf (1) für eine an sich bekannte und deshalb in ihrer kompletten Ausbildung nicht gezeigten programmgesteuerten Spülmaschine (2) mit Spülraum (3).The drawing shows a safety overflow (1) for a known and therefore in their complete training not shown program-controlled dishwasher (2) with dishwasher (3).

Der Spülraum (3) der Maschine ist strömungsmäßig mit einer nicht dargestellten ventilgesteuerten Frischwasserzulaufleitung und einer nicht gezeigten Ablaufpumpe sowie mit dem an einer Gehäuseaußenwand (11) der Spülmaschine (2) montierten Sicherheitsüberlauf (1) über eine Überlaufkante (4) verbunden.The washing compartment (3) of the machine is fluidly with a not shown valve-controlled fresh water supply line and a drain pump, not shown, and with the on a housing outer wall (11) of the dishwasher (2) mounted safety overflow (1) connected via an overflow edge (4).

Der Sicherheitsüberlauf (1) weist neben der Überlaufkante (4) zum Spülraum (3) zwei Kammern (5, 6) und einen Ablauf (7) auf, der in eine nicht gezeigte Bodenwanne oder in das Abwassernetz mündet. Ferner besitzt der Sicherheitsüberlauf (1) eine Flüssigkeitsleitung (8), welche die einzige Strömungsverbindung vom Spülraum (3) zum Sicherheitsüberlauf (1) bildet, wobei die Flüssigkeitsleitung (8) von der Überlaufkante (4) am Spülraum (3) in ein unterhalb der Überlaufkante (4) ausgebildetes Wasserreservoir (9) der ersten Kammer (5) führt, welches zur Aufnahme einer austauschbaren Wasservorlage dient. Die erste Kammer (5) ist von der strömungsmäßig nachgeschalteten und den Ablauf (7) aufweisenden zweiten Kammer (6) durch einen Überlauf (10) getrennt, wobei der Überlauf (10) in Form-einer Wand ausgebildet ist, dessen Überlaufniveau oberhalb der zum Spülraum angeordneten Überlaufkante (4) liegt. Um zu vermeiden, dass die Wasservorlage bspw. während eines gebläseunterstützten Trocknungsgangs vom im Spülraum (3) vorliegenden Überdruck in die zweite Kammer (6) gedrückt wird, ist das Überlaufniveau des Überlaufs (10) in dieser Ausführung um ein mehrfaches höher als das höchste erreichbare Niveau der Wasservorlage in der ersten Kammer (5) ausgebildet. Grundsätzlich reicht es aber aus, wenn der Überlauf (10) gerade so hoch bemessen ist, dass eine Wasservorlage während eines geregelten Spülprogrammlaufs nicht aus der ersten Kammer (5) über den Überlauf (10) in die zweite Kammer (6) fließt.The safety overflow (1) has two chambers in addition to the overflow edge (4) to the washing compartment (3) (5, 6) and a drain (7) which in a bottom pan, not shown, or in the Sewer network opens. Furthermore, the safety overflow (1) has a fluid line (8), which forms the only flow connection from the washing compartment (3) to the safety overflow (1), wherein the liquid line (8) from the overflow edge (4) on the washing compartment (3) in a below the Overflow edge (4) formed water reservoir (9) of the first chamber (5) leads, which for Recording a replaceable water mask is used. The first chamber (5) is of the fluidly downstream and the outlet (7) having second chamber (6) separated by an overflow (10), the overflow (10) being in the form of a wall, whose overflow level is above the overflow edge (4) arranged to the washing compartment. Around for example, to avoid the water mask during a blower assisted Drying cycle from the overpressure present in the washing compartment (3) into the second chamber (6) is pressed, the overflow level of the overflow (10) in this embodiment is one several times higher than the highest achievable level of water makeup in the first Chamber (5) formed. Basically, it is sufficient if the overflow (10) just like that high is that a water trap during a controlled flush program run does not flow from the first chamber (5) via the overflow (10) in the second chamber (6).

Liegt eine Wasservorlage im Wasserreservoir (9) vor, so taucht die Flüssigkeitsleitung (8) gemäß der oben beschriebenen Ausführung in das Wasser ein, so dass der Spülraum (3) durch die Wasservorlage von dem in der zweiten Kammer (6) ausgebildeten Ablauf (7) getrennt ist.If there is a water reservoir in the water reservoir (9), the liquid line (8) appears according to the embodiment described above in the water, so that the washing compartment (3) by the water mask is separated from the drain (7) formed in the second chamber (6).

Gemäß der Zeichnung ist die Flüssigkeitsleitung (8) bis weit unterhalb der das Wasserreservoir (9) begrenzenden Überlaufkante (4) geführt, so dass für eine Trennung der vorbeschriebenen Art schon eine geringe bis zur Höhe der Ausgangsöffnung (8.1) der Flüssigkeitsleitung (8) stehende Wasservorlage ausreicht. Die Flüssigkeitsleitung (8) ist nach der Zeichnung durch die an die Gehäuseaußenwand (11) der Spülmaschine (2) anliegende Kammerwand (12) und einer umliegenden Mantelfläche (13) gebildet. Alternativ könnte aber auch ein handelsübliches gebogenes Rohr als Flüssigkeitsleitung (8) dienen.According to the drawing, the liquid line (8) is far below the water reservoir (9) limiting overflow edge (4), so that for a separation of the above Type already a small up to the height of the outlet opening (8.1) of the liquid line (8) standing water template is sufficient. The liquid line (8) is shown in the drawing by the to the housing outer wall (11) of the dishwasher (2) adjacent the chamber wall (12) and a surrounding lateral surface (13) is formed. Alternatively, however, could also be a commercial one bent pipe serve as a liquid line (8).

Zur Erzeugung einer Wasservorlage ist nach der Zeichnung eine zum Wasserreservoir (9) führende und mit der Umwälzpumpe strömungsmäßig verbundene Leitung (14) vorgesehen. Durch diese Maßnahme kann das Wasserreservoir (9) programmgesteuert während des Spülbetriebs befüllt, ausgespült, gereinigt und ggf. desinfiziert werden, wobei die über die Umwälzpumpe und die Leitung (14) in die erste Kammer (5) einströmende Reinigungsflüssigkeit bis zur Überlaufkante (4) ansteigt und von dort aus in den Spülraum (3) abfließt.To produce a water mask is according to the drawing, a water reservoir (9) leading and provided with the circulation pump fluidly connected line (14). By this measure, the water reservoir (9) programmatically during the Rinsing operations are filled, rinsed, cleaned and, if necessary, disinfected, the over the Circulation pump and the line (14) in the first chamber (5) inflowing cleaning liquid rises to the overflow edge (4) and flows from there into the washing compartment (3).

Um zu verhindern, dass bei einer Störung eine bspw. kontaminierte Reinigungsflüssigkeit über den Ablauf (7) unmittelbar in eine nachgeschaltete Ablaufwanne oder in das Abwassernetz strömt, ist die Einlauföffnung (7.1) des Ablaufs (7) oberhalb des Kammerbodens (15) angeordnet. Demgemäß bleibt in einem solchen Fall bis zum Anstieg der Reinigungsflüssigkeit auf die Höhe der Einlauföffnung Zeit, um den Wasserzulauf zu stoppen.In order to prevent that in case of a fault, for example, a contaminated cleaning fluid over the drain (7) directly into a downstream drain pan or in the sewage network flows, is the inlet opening (7.1) of the drain (7) above the chamber bottom (15) arranged. Accordingly, in such a case, it remains until the cleaning liquid rises to the height of the inlet opening time to stop the water inlet.

Zur Unterbrechung des Wasserzulaufs ist ein signalmäßig mit den Ventilen der Frischwasserzulaufleitung und der Entleerungspumpe verbundener Schwimmerschalter (16) in der zweiten Kammer (6) unterhalb des Überlaufs (10) angeordnet, der bei Aktivierung die Ventile der Frischwasserzulaufleitung schließt und zusätzlich die Entleerungspumpe einschaltet.
