Description

GeschirrSpülmaschine, insbesondere für EinbauküchenDishwasher, in particular for fitted kitchens
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Geschirrspülmaschine, insbesondere für Einbauküchen, deren Struktur sich in horizontaler Richtung entwickelt, um eine vollständige Spülmaschinenfüllung auf einer einzigen Bezugsebene unterzubringen.The present invention relates to a dishwasher, in particular for fitted kitchens, the structure of which develops in the horizontal direction in order to accommodate complete dishwasher filling on a single reference level.
Moderne Einbauküchen lassen sich im Wesentlichen in drei Kategorien untergliedern: Küchensch-ränke mit Sockelleiste, Küchenschränke mit Füßen und Hängeschränke.Modern fitted kitchens can essentially be divided into three categories: kitchen cupboards with skirting boards, kitchen cupboards with feet and wall cupboards.
Küchenschränke mit Sockelleiste ermöglichen es, den vertikal verfügbaren Raum praktisch bis zum Boden zu nutzen. Deshalb können die normalen Geschirrspülmaschinen, die mit zwei übereinanderliegenden Körben zur Aufnahme des Geschirrs ausgestattet sind, leicht in die Küchenstruktur eingeschoben und integriert werden. Dieser Einbau erfolgt durch Entfernen der Deckplatte der Maschine und Einschieben derselben unter die Arbeitsfläche der Einbauküche.Kitchen cupboards with skirting boards make it possible to use the vertically available space practically down to the floor. Therefore, the normal dishwashers, which are equipped with two superimposed baskets to hold the dishes, can be easily inserted and integrated into the kitchen structure. This installation is carried out by removing the cover plate of the machine and inserting it under the work surface of the fitted kitchen.
Küchenmöbel mit Füßen zum Tragen der Unterschränke vermindern den in der Höhe nutzbaren Raum erheblich und ermöglichen daher nur die Verwendung von SpezialGeschirrspülmaschinen, die jedoch in jedem Fall eine geringere Aufnahmefähigkeit als die entsprechenden Geschirrspüler mit Standardmaßen besitzen. Die üblicherweise als „Hänge" -Version bezeichneten Küchenschränke, die an wandmontierten Führungen befestigt werden, erlauben keinen Einbau von Geschirrspülmaschinen in die Küchenmöbel und zwingen den Verbraucher selbsttragende, von den Möbeln unabhängige Maschinen zu verwenden und diese in eigens hierfür vorgesehenen, neben den Möbeln angebrachten Säulen unterzubringen.Kitchen furniture with feet to support the base cabinets significantly reduce the space available in height and therefore only allow the use of special dishwashers, which in any case have a lower absorption capacity than the corresponding dishwashers with standard dimensions. The kitchen cabinets commonly referred to as "hanging" versions, which are attached to wall-mounted guides, do not allow the installation of dishwashers in the kitchen furniture and force the consumer to use self-supporting machines which are independent of the furniture and which are installed in specially designed, next to the furniture To accommodate columns.
Das Patent US 2.960.990 beschreibt eineThe patent US 2,960,990 describes one
Geschirrspülmaschine, die sowohl dazu geeignet ist, als eigenständiges Gerät verwendet als auch in Einbauküchenmöbel eingebaut zu werden. Diese Geschirrspülmaschine ist mit einem einzigen Korb und zwei Sprüharmen versehen, die sich in einer ersten Version auf zwei parallelen, teilweise übereinanderliegenden Ebenen drehen, während sie in einer zweiten Version auf derselben horizontalen Ebene rotieren und spezielle Synchronisierungsmittel erfordern, um eine gegenseitige Störung bei der Rotation zu vermeiden. Die Unzulänglichkeiten der beschriebenen Lösung liegen im wesentlichen im großen Platsbedarf der Hydraulikgruppe (Sprüharm, Pumpe, Motoren) aufgrund der besonderen Unterbringung der Sprüharme, wodurch dasDishwasher that is suitable both as a stand-alone device and to be installed in fitted kitchen furniture. This dishwasher is provided with a single basket and two spray arms which, in a first version, rotate on two parallel, partially superimposed levels, while in a second version, rotate on the same horizontal level and require special synchronization means to prevent mutual interference during rotation to avoid. The shortcomings of the solution described are essentially the large amount of space required by the hydraulic group (spray arm, pump, motors) due to the special accommodation of the spray arms, which means that
Geschirraufnahmevermögen der Maschine, besonders bei der Einbauversion, stark einschränkt wird; des weiteren liegen sie in der Notwendigkeit, relativ komplizierte, sequentielle Steuerungsmittel für den Betrieb der Maschine einsetzen zu müssen. Ein weiterer erheblicher Nachteil einer Geschirrspülmaschine dieses Typs liegt in der Unmöglichkeit, modulare Standardverkleidungspaneele für die Spülmaschinentür zu verwenden, wie sie bei Einbauküchen gefordert werden.Harness absorption capacity of the machine, especially in the built-in version, is severely restricted; furthermore, they lie in the need to use relatively complicated, sequential control means for the operation of the machine. Another significant disadvantage of a dishwasher of this type is the impossibility of using modular standard cladding panels for the To use the dishwasher door as required for fitted kitchens.
Hauptzweck der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Geschirrspülmaschine zu realisieren, die in jedem Einbauküchentyp, insbesondere bei „Hänge"-Versionen, verwendet werden kann.The main purpose of the present invention is to realize a dishwasher that can be used in any type of built-in kitchen, especially in "hanging" versions.
Ein weiterer Zweck der Erfindung ist es, eine Geschirrspülmaschine zu realisieren, die unter ergonomischem Gesichtspunkt besonders vorteilhaft ist, auch dann, wenn diese Maschine nicht innerhalb einer Einbauküche eingebaut wird, wobei sie in jedem Fall Paneele mit Standardgrößen aufnehmen können soll .Another purpose of the invention is to implement a dishwasher which is particularly advantageous from an ergonomic point of view, even if this machine is not installed in a fitted kitchen, and in any case it should be able to accommodate panels with standard sizes.
Darüber hinaus ist es Zweck der Erfindung, eine Geschirrspülma'schine zu realisieren, bei welcher weitestgehend die herkömmlichen Bestandteile und Verfahren der traditionellen Maschinen verwendet werden können und welche dasselbe Fassungsvermögen (12 Standardgedecke) wie diese Maschinen besitzt, auch wenn sie über nur eine Bezugsebene zur Aufnahme des Geschirrs verfügt.In addition, it is the purpose of the invention to realize a dishwasher in which the conventional components and methods of traditional machines can be used as far as possible and which has the same capacity (12 standard place settings) as these machines, even if they have only one reference level Of dishes.
Diese Zwecke werden bei einer Geschirrspülmaschine erreicht, deren Merkmale in den Ansprüchen am Abschluss dieser Patentschrift präzisiert werden.These purposes are achieved in a dishwasher, the characteristics of which are specified in the claims at the end of this patent.
Vorteile und Merkmale der erfindungsgemäßen Geschirrspülmaschine werden anhand der nachfolgenden Beschreibung erläutert, die nur als Beispiel dient, jedoch keine Einschränkung darstellt, wobei auf die beiliegenden Zeichnungen Bezug genommen wird. Es zeigt:Advantages and features of the dishwasher according to the invention are explained on the basis of the following description, which serves only as an example, however is not a limitation, reference being made to the accompanying drawings. It shows:

Figur 5 eine schematische Seitenansicht der Geschirrspülmaschine der Figur 1 oder 2.5 shows a schematic side view of the dishwasher of FIG. 1 or 2.
Die in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestelltenThe shown in Figures 1 and 2
Geschirrspülmaschinen unterscheiden sich dadurch, dass die erste dazu geeignet ist, in einer Einbauküche eingebaut zu werden, während die zweite selbsttragend ist. Die Geschirrspülmaschine der Figur 1 umfasst ein Möbel 10, das mit einer Fronttür 11 und eventuell mit einem Sockel 12 versehen ist, welche den Einbau der Maschine in den Küchenmöbelkomplex ermöglichen, sowohl in der Untertischversion als auch in Hängemontageversion. Die Geschirrspülmaschine aus Figur 2 umfasst analog zu der in Figur 1 gezeigten Version ein Möbel 10, eine Tür 11 und einen Sockel 12, darüber hinaus besitzt sie jedoch eine obere Fläche 13 und vier Füße 14 zum Aufstellen auf dem Boden.Dishwashers differ in that the first is suitable for installation in a fitted kitchen, while the second is self-supporting. The dishwasher of FIG. 1 comprises a piece of furniture 10 which is provided with a front door 11 and possibly with a base 12, which enable the machine to be installed in the kitchen furniture complex, both in the under-counter version and in the pendant version. Analogously to the version shown in FIG. 1, the dishwasher from FIG. 2 comprises a piece of furniture 10, a door 11 and a base 12, but furthermore it has an upper surface 13 and four feet 14 for placement on the floor.
Beim Vergleich der Figuren 1 und 2 ist festzustellen, dass dasselbe Möbel mit einer Vollkörpertür (Figur 1) mit einer Verdeckblende 15 oder mit einer transparenten Fenstertür 16 (Figur 2) mit Außengriff 17 ausgestattet werden kann. Die erfindungsgemäße Geschirrspülmaschine besitzt also größte Ausstattungsvielfalt, um sich an die verschiedenen Gebrauchsanforderungen insbesondere bei jenen Einbauküchen anpassen zu können, bei denen die Elektrogeräte auf die übrigen Küchenmöbel abgestimmt werden müssen.A comparison of FIGS. 1 and 2 shows that the same piece of furniture can be equipped with a full-body door (FIG. 1) with a convertible top cover 15 or with a transparent window door 16 (FIG. 2) with an external handle 17. The dishwasher according to the invention thus has the greatest variety of equipment in order to be able to adapt to the various usage requirements, in particular in those fitted kitchens in which the electrical appliances have to be matched to the other kitchen furniture.
Die erfindungsgemäße Geschirrspülmaschine umfasst eine Spülwanne 18, in welcher der einzige Korb 19 zur Aufnahme des zu spülenden Geschirrs und die beiden Sprüharme 20, 21 montiert werden, die das Geschirr mit der Spülflüssigkeit benetzen (Figur 3) . Die Wanne 18 ist auf der Unterseite durch eine nach unten geneigte Fläche 22 verschlossen, um die Spülflüssigkeit in einen Schacht 23 zu leiten, in dem die Flüssigkeit gesammelt und abgeleitet wird. Man sieht, dass der Schacht vorteilhafterweise seitlich auf dem Wannenboden untergebracht ist, wobei die Vertikalachse parallel zur Zentralachse der Wanne verläuft.The dishwasher according to the invention comprises a washing trough 18, in which the only basket 19 for receiving the dishes to be washed and the two spray arms 20, 21 are mounted, which wet the dishes with the washing liquid (FIG. 3). The tub 18 is closed on the underside by a downwardly inclined surface 22 in order to guide the flushing liquid into a shaft 23 in which the liquid is collected and drained off. It can be seen that the shaft is advantageously accommodated on the side of the tub floor, the vertical axis running parallel to the central axis of the tub.
Ein wesentliches Merkmal der Erfindung liegt in der besonderen Position der Sprüharme 20, 21. Der erste ist oberhalb der geneigten Fläche 22 montiert, wobei seine Rotationsachse im wesentlichen rechtwinklig zur genannten Fläche steht. Es ist in der Tat wichtig, dass der Sprüharm 21 mit geneigter Achse bezogen auf die Vertikale eines Winkels montiert wird, der so bemessen sein uss, dass sowohl der beanspruchte Platz im Innern der Wanne als auch die Funktionalität des Waschsystems optimiert werden. Außerdem befindet sich die Rotationsebene des zweiten Sprüharms 21 teilweise unterhalb der des Hauptsprüharmes 20. Diese Anordnung der Sprüharme bietet verschiedene Vorteile, wie beispielsweise eine Verminderung des Raumbedarfs der Spülgruppe sowohl in vertikaler als auch in horizontaler Richtung und demzufolge eine Erhöhung des Geschirraufnahmevermögens; die Schaffung einer intensiveren Spülzone 24 an der Stelle, an der sich die Rotationsebenen der Sprüharme überlappen.An essential feature of the invention lies in the special position of the spray arms 20, 21. The first is mounted above the inclined surface 22, its axis of rotation being essentially perpendicular to the surface mentioned. It is indeed important that the spray arm 21 with an inclined axis relative to the vertical of an angle, which must be dimensioned in such a way that both the space occupied inside the tub and the functionality of the washing system are optimized. In addition, the plane of rotation of the second spray arm 21 is partially below that of the main spray arm 20. This arrangement of the spray arms offers various advantages, such as, for example, a reduction in the space requirement of the washing group in both the vertical and horizontal directions and consequently an increase in the dishwashing capacity; the creation of a more intensive rinse zone 24 at the point where the spray arm rotation planes overlap.
Natürlich erhöhen sich die Vorteile der beschriebenen Lösung bei Verwendung einer kompakten Motor-Pumpen-Gruppe 25 mit geringer Höhe, die eine direkte Speisung des Hauptsprüharmes 20 und eine seitliche Verzweigung des Sekundärsprüharms 21 erlaubt (Figur 3).Of course, the advantages of the solution described increase when using a compact motor-pump group 25 with a low height, which allows direct feeding of the main spray arm 20 and lateral branching of the secondary spray arm 21 (FIG. 3).
Außerdem ist festzustellen, dass die Verwendung eines einzigen Korbes 19 zur Aufnahme des Geschirrs bevorzugt wird, aber es ist selbstverständlich auch möglich, zwei nebeneinanderliegende und entsprechend mit einander verbundene Körbe zu verwenden, vorausgesetzt, dass die Befüllungshöhe für das Geschirr gleich ist, um auf diese Weise dem Benutzer die ergonomisch beste Lösung zu gewährleisten. Wenn darüber hinaus berücksichtigt wird, dass es bei der beschriebenen Lösung möglicht ist, eine Wanne 18 von beachtlicher Aufnahmefähigkeit in der Höhe zu verwenden, stellt man fest, dass der Korb 19 eine oder mehrere überhöhte Auflageflächen 26 zum Einstellen von kleineren Geschirrteilen aufweisen kann, die mit einem weniger starken Wasserstrahl benetzt werden müssen (Figur 5) .It should also be noted that the use of a single basket 19 for receiving the dishes is preferred, but it is of course also possible to use two baskets lying next to one another and correspondingly connected to one another, provided that the filling level for the dishes is the same in order to accommodate them Way to ensure the user the best ergonomic solution. If, furthermore, it is taken into account that it is possible in the solution described to use a trough 18 of considerable absorption capacity in height, it can be seen that the basket 19 is one or can have a plurality of raised contact surfaces 26 for setting smaller pieces of crockery which must be wetted with a less powerful water jet (FIG. 5).
Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung erweist sich insbesondere an eine Geschirrspülmaschine des Typs anpassbar, wie er in der internationalen Patentanmeldung WO 00/72741 oder in der europäischen Patentanmeldung Nr. 0202598.9 beschrieben ist, die vom selben Anmelder wie die vorliegende stammt. Diese Maschinen sind mit einer horizontal gleitenden Funktionseinheit ausgestattet, die fest mit der Tür verbunden ist, die zum Verschluss der Spülwanne dient.The solution according to the invention proves to be adaptable in particular to a dishwasher of the type described in international patent application WO 00/72741 or in European patent application No. 0202598.9, which originates from the same applicant as the present. These machines are equipped with a horizontally sliding functional unit that is firmly connected to the door, which is used to close the washing tub.
Wie leicht zu verstehen ist, erfordert die erfindungsgemäße Geschirrspülmaschine keine speziell anzufertigenden Bauteile, um die beabsichtigten Zwecke zu erzielen, sondern ist aus einem rationellen Einsatz der Kenntnisse des Sektors abgeleitet, wodurch ein höherer Grad an Wirtschaftlichkeit, Effizienz und Vielseitigkeit erreicht wird. As is easy to understand, the dishwasher according to the invention does not require any components to be specially manufactured to achieve the intended purposes, but is derived from a rational use of the knowledge of the sector, whereby a higher degree of economy, efficiency and versatility is achieved.
