Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dishwasher with a rinsing container in which at least one spraying device equipped with spray nozzles is rotatably mounted about an axis at least approximately vertical in the position of use of the dishwasher, with means for supplying the spray device or the spray nozzles with rinsing liquid.
  • the sprays emanating from the spray nozzles consist of a sequence of drops.
  • the individual drops When hitting the dishwashing surface, the individual drops produce a liquid surface which can weaken the cleaning effect of the subsequent drops. For this reason it is from the EP 0 659 381 B1
  • a dishwasher is known in which pulse-modulated liquid jets are used to clean objects. The modulation is carried out by a hydraulic ram or by valves or slides.
  • the EP 1 040 786 B1 shows a dishwasher with a spray arm, are switched in the intermittent to the main nozzles auxiliary nozzles. The opening and locking of the additional nozzles via a spring mechanism which is actuated by an increase of the circulating pump pressure.
  • spray arms are known from the prior art, which are designed such that they take into account in particular problem zones in the washing container.
  • EP 0 974 302 B1 discloses a dishwasher for a dishwasher whose spray arm has so-called Eckspritzdüsen.
  • Another solution from the prior art for example, from the German utility model 297 18 777 known. There, it is described that a main rinsing arm and an auxiliary rinsing arm rotatably mounted on the main rinsing arm pass along the wall of the dishwasher and are guided by the corner portions under the influence of centrifugal force.
  • solutions of the state of the art which are intended in particular to clean up problem areas in the washing container.
  • the invention thus raises the problem, in a dishwasher of the type mentioned in a simple way to effect a modulation of the spray and thereby achieve better cleaning while saving water.
  • a functional element is moved and / or driven from one position to the other by means of a specific volume flow.
  • This change in position parameters of the spray jets are influenced.
  • rotating means in the spray arm for closing and opening spray nozzles for pulsed spray jets, once the beam shape, the jet velocity, the jet type, the jet direction, the spray drop interval and the nozzle position are influenced.
  • the rotation of the means is effected exclusively by the rinsing liquid, which circulates through the circulation pump in the washing.
  • the means are arranged in the region of the axis of rotation of the spraying device and can be rotated in the plane of the spraying device at a rotational speed different from that of the spraying device.
  • the means comprise at least one cylindrical closure element with füriassö réelleen arranged in the outer wall, wherein the cylinder axis coincides with the axis of rotation.
  • a closure element can because of Its simple structure can be used without major structural changes in a series spray arm.
  • the openings in the outer wall of the closure element are positioned in such a way to channels connected to the spray nozzles, that during a relative rotation between closure element and spray only the path of the rinsing liquid is interrupted to a number of channels.
  • a simultaneous blocking of all nozzles would lead to the braking of the entire circulated liquid mass, so that the energy of the moving liquid column and thus their cleaning effect would be reduced.
  • the slow rotation of the closure element caused by this deceleration would increase the static friction and thus promote clamping of the element.
  • the alternate locking and opening is achieved in a spray arm with exactly two Sprüharmhbuln by an odd number of sealing surfaces. It is advantageous if the closure element has three closure surfaces.
  • the force applied by the pressure of the rinsing liquid is distributed more uniformly on the individual closure surfaces, so that tilting of the closure element and resulting clamping is avoided.
  • the modulation frequency is increased, which in turn improves the cleaning performance.
  • the means comprise a cylindrical body which is provided in its periphery with cutouts which lie in the overlapping area with the spray nozzles arranged on the spray arm.
  • the axis of rotation of the body is arranged parallel to the main propagation direction of the spray arm.
  • the drive of the closure element or of the body can take place by an electric motor, by one or more magnets or by the rotation of the spray device through a transmission operatively connected thereto.
  • the closure element or the body is set in rotation by the flushing liquid flowing to the spray nozzles.
  • no additional drives are needed.
  • a turbine can be used as a drive.
  • only a receiving space for the closure element or the body must be provided on the spray arm, further structural changes to the realization of the drive are not necessary.
  • the turbine blades may be disposed on a shaft extending through the center of the closure member or body. However, it is advantageous to arrange the turbine blades inside the closure element or the body, because then the necessary receiving space for the element is kept low.
  • the closure element or the body can be mounted on one side, which in turn reduces the component effort. It is expedient if a shaft stub arranged on the closure element is guided in a plain bearing arranged in the center of the spraying device.
  • FIG. 1 shows an inventive spray arm 7 of a household dishwasher 1 shown in more detail in FIG. 2.
  • the dishwasher 1 has two dish baskets 3 and 4 arranged one above the other in a rectangular washing container 2, wherein a cutlery drawer 5 is arranged above the upper basket 3.
  • a cutlery basket not shown, in one of the baskets 3 and 4 instead of the cutlery drawer 5.
  • Under the upper 3 and lower basket 4 is each in the square
  • a second spray arm 7.3 rotates on a further Sprüharmhalterung 6.3 above the cutlery drawer 5th
  • the rotatable spray arms 7 are provided with spray nozzles 8 (see Figure 1), which are arranged so that the entire items to be washed in the baskets 3, 4 and 5 is acted upon by the exiting the nozzles 8 rinsing liquid.
  • the spray arms 7 are supplied by a circulation pump 9 via pipes 10 with rinsing liquid.
  • the circulation pump 9 is connected via a further pipe 11 to the lowest point 12 of the cuboid Spülraums 2 and sucks the liquid collected there over known per se filter and pushes them again through the nozzles 8 of the spray arms 7, wherein one of the Spülillonkeitsaustritt adjusting Rebounding force for rotation of the spray arms 7 leads, which is symbolized in Figure 1 by the arrow 13.
  • the spray arm 7 itself is designed as a symmetrical hollow body and rotatably supported in a known manner on the holder 6.
  • a union nut 19.1 in which a slide bushing 19.2 is held, screwed to the holder 6, the slide bushing 19.1 has on its outwardly projecting, visible in the figure 1 end an external thread (not shown), which with a likewise not shown internal thread is screwed to a receiving space 14 of the spray arm.
  • FIG. 3 shows the closure element 20 in a position in which the left spray arm half 72 is opened and the right half 71 is locked.
  • the closure surfaces 22 are symbolized here as a black ring section, the openings 21 as a white section.
  • the exiting liquid is symbolized by the arrows 18.
  • the closure element 20 In order to avoid that the respective spray arm half 71 or 72 is always locked in the same position and that thereby formed by the spray jets "shadow zones" not formed, the closure element 20 must be moved so that the sealing surfaces in ever-changing Sprüharm- Positions in front of the channels 15 and 16 are located. This is a movable bearing is required, which allows the shutter member to rotate at a speed different from the rotational speed of the spray arm 7.
  • FIGS. 4.1 and 4.2 show spray arms 7, in which the closure element 20 rotates in its operative position at a speed which differs from the rotational speed of the spray arm 7.
  • the spray arm 7 shown in FIGS. 4.1 and 4.2 is coupled to a holder 6, which is provided with different polarized magnets 30 and 31.
  • an axis 25 connected to the closure element 20 extends into the region of these magnets 30 and 31. It carries on the end of this axis 25 crosswise arranged magnets 32 and 33, which are also differently poled.
  • the closure element 20 itself is rotatably mounted within the receiving space 14 by means described elsewhere.
  • the magnets 30 to 33 cause a pendulum motion of the closure element 20.
  • openings 21 and closure surfaces 22 are brought before the channels 15 and 16 and thus the nozzles 8 present there are opened or blocked.
  • the closure element is rotated by an electric motor or by means of a transmission on the Sprüharmdoch.
  • Figures 5.1 and 5.2 and 6.1 and 6.2 show spray arm variants in which the closure element 20 is also rotatably mounted in the receiving space. There, the element 20 is rotated by means of turbine blades 40 and 50, respectively.
  • This has the advantage that a rotational movement is caused by the liquid flowing through 18 and thus no further, wear-prone drives are required.
  • the rotational speed in addition to the flow rate of the dimensioning of the turbine blades 40 and 50 depends and can be chosen so that it differs from the speed of the spray arm 7.
  • the direction of inclination of the turbine blades 40 and 50 is designed so that adjusts to the spray arm 7 opposite direction of rotation.
  • the vanes 40 may be disposed on a shaft 26 extending through the center of the closure member 20, see Figures 5.1 and 5.2.
  • the shaft 26 must be stored, which requires additional effort and can lead to blocking due to a possible tilting movement of the overall arrangement. It is therefore more advantageous if the turbine blades 50, as shown in FIGS. 6.1 and 6.2, are placed inside the closure element 20. They can then be formed on the closure element 20, which on the one hand simplifies the production, on the other hand, the necessary receiving space for the element is kept low.
  • Figures 7 show various closure elements, designated a to f, which differ in the number of openings and their shape and size.
  • the element designated by a has four openings and consequently also four sealing surfaces, two of which are opposite each other.
  • a simultaneous blocking of all spray nozzles is achieved.
  • the closure element designated b three openings or closure surfaces are provided. The symmetrical arrangement ensures that in a spray arm 7 with two halves only one half is locked.
  • Element c shows a variant with relatively small openings, in the closure elements according to d and e, the openings have approximately the same width as the closure surfaces, f shows an element with very narrow closure surfaces.
  • the closure elements c and e with round or elliptical openings differ from the elements d and f with rectangular openings.
  • FIG. 8 shows a closure element 60 which is optimized with regard to its geometric relationships. It is designed as a one-piece component and preferably made of plastic.
  • a stub shaft 62 is formed on a plate-shaped bottom part 61 in the axis of rotation, which is inserted into a bore (not shown) in the center of the receiving space 14 (see FIG. 1).
  • the bore acts as a sliding bearing, thereby reducing the static friction between the closure member 60 and spray arm 7 and the rotation of the element 60 is made possible in the first place.
  • On the opposite side of the bottom part of the stub shaft 62 is continued with reduced diameter as removal pin 63, thus facilitating the installation and the subsequent removal.
  • three symmetrically arranged bodies 64 rise from the edge of the bottom part 61 and form both the closing surfaces 65 and the oblique turbine blades 66 required for driving. Between the closure surfaces openings 67 are left with a rectangular cross-section, the arc length of the closure surfaces 65 and the openings 67 is approximately equal and is about 60 °.
  • the use of three closure surfaces 65 provides for a symmetrical structure for an alternating closing of the Sprüharmhworthn 71 and 72 (see Figure 3).
  • the liquid in the spray arm 7 is mainly slowed down and accelerated again.
  • a simultaneous blocking of both halves 71 and 72 leads to the fact that the liquid is slowed down as well as accelerated in the entire inlet.
  • the spray arm 7 would have to have a very low angular velocity in order to achieve sufficient spray jet heights.
  • One Jamming of the closure element 60 is favored by this slow speed.
  • FIG. 9 shows, in perspective, such an embodiment of a spray arm 101 of a dishwashing machine (not shown).
  • the spray arm 101 is rotatably mounted in a rinsing container about a vertical axis 102 (see FIG. 11).
  • the spray arm 101 is equipped with spray nozzles 103, which are fed via the circulating pump, also not shown here, with rinsing liquid.
  • rotating means 104 are provided in the spray arm 101, which cause closing and opening of the spray nozzles 103 for pulsed spray jets.
  • the rinsing liquid causes the rotation of the means 104.
  • the means 104 comprise a cylindrical body 105 which is provided over its circumference with cutouts 106 in the overlap area with the spray nozzles 103 arranged on the spray arm 101.
  • turbine blades 107 are integrally formed in the cylindrical body 105 and, in particular, on the inlet side, as shown in greater detail in FIG. 10, for example.
  • FIG 11. Another variant of the drive of the cylindrical body 105 is shown in FIG 11.
  • a ring gear 108 is arranged, which is in operative connection with a fixed to the Rotation axis 102 of the feed line arranged sprocket 109 is.
  • FIG. 12 once again illustrates how the opening and closing of the individual spray nozzles 103 takes place.
  • the water enters according to the direction of the arrow in the spray arm 101 and according to the indicated rotation arrow open when sweeping the individual sections 106, the individual spray nozzles 103.
  • From this figure is also to be taken in particular the storage of the cylindrical body 105, in which case for the storage of the cylindrical Body 105 end of the body 105 assumes a conical shape, the cone tip 110 forms the bearing contact point in the spray arm 101. Only the tip 110 of the cone should have direct contact with the fixed area.
  • the front contact surface is to be kept small by the design of the apex 110. This is achieved by the flow of water. It presses the rotating system to the apex 110 and has only radial contact in the rear area.
  • the means 104 also comprise a cylindrical body 105 having over its circumference radially obliquely arranged in the cylinder wall outlet nozzles 111, wherein the wing-like spray arm 101 the Body 105 partially covered laterally, so the cylindrical body 105 is rotatably mounted between the two Sprüharmschenkeln 112 and 113.
  • the rinsing liquid jets emerging from the obliquely arranged outlet nozzles 111 automatically effect the rotation of the body 105, which is illustrated by the bold arrows indicated in the illustration.
  • the inner cylinder 105 is designed so that the spray nozzles 111 also function as drive nozzles at the same time. This is very easy to realize.
  • the spray nozzles 111 are set as far as possible obliquely.
  • the water which is now sprayed through the staggered nozzles 111, generates repulsive forces distributed over the spray arm 101. These recoil forces cause the body 105 to rotate. For a rotation of the body 105 thus no further drive elements are necessary.
  • the employed rotating spray nozzles 111 make it possible to achieve a high water jet space coverage.
  • Each nozzle 111 may differ in shape, number and type, for example fan jet - no great risk of contamination, here can not accumulate dirt between the rotating cylinder 105 and the spray arm 101. Due to the movable openings of the rotating inner cylinder 105 results for the nozzles 111 many design options.
  • nozzle shape, nozzle type, number of nozzles and nozzle position can be individually designed on each cylinder cutout.
  • the nozzles 111 of the spray arm 101 introduce different sprays different directions free.
  • an increased space coverage for the water jets is guaranteed.
  • the last exemplary embodiment is characterized in that the means 104 comprise individual bodies 105 which are arranged so as to rotate over the extension of the spray arm 101 and which are provided with shutter apertures 114 which cover the spray arm 101 with outlet nozzle openings.
  • the individual body 105 has a cross-shaped shape, wherein on the legs 116 and 117, the shutter panels 114 are formed.
  • the closure elements 114 advantageously comprise curved surface elements 115 adapted to the spray arm shape.
  • the limbs 116 and 117 arranged in the shape of a cross are formed in the shape of a turbine blade.
  • an individual water jet cover can be generated.
  • the closure elements 114 are driven by the water flow with the respective turbine.
  • the closure elements 114 of the turbines may preferably be designed, for example, from rubber material.
  • the inner surface of the cylinder is better sealed. It is particularly advantageous in this case that the risk of contamination is reduced by the use of rubber material on the turbine wing.
  • the nozzles 103 are individually and independently of each other by the individual turbines. At each nozzle 103 different nozzles can be arranged, which differ in the shape, number and type.
  • the droplet size is pressure-dependent and can thus be set individually, for example by changing the circulation pump speed.
