  • the washing chamber comprises a lower container, in which the washing substance is collected after it has been delivered onto the objects to be washed.
  • the lower container is provided with a first compartment able to contain only the liquid, and with a second container able to contain the granular elements and the liquid.
  • the known machine has the disadvantage that it requires at least two pumps: a first pump connected to the first compartment to pick up the liquid only, and a second pump connected to the second compartment to pick up the granular elements mixed with the liquid.
  • One purpose of the present invention is to achieve a machine for washing objects that has a reduced number of components and little complexity.
  • Another purpose of the present invention is to achieve a machine that is very reliable and that requires little or substantially no maintenance, with a consequent saving in the running costs of the machine.
  • the Applicant has devised, tested and embodied the present invention to overcome the shortcomings of the state of the art and to obtain these and other purposes and advantages.
  • a machine according to the present invention is able to be used for washing objects.
  • the machine according to the present invention comprises at least:
  • the washing chamber comprises a first compartment able to contain the liquid, and a second compartment able to contain at least the granular elements and the liquid.
  • the pumping means comprises a pump able to selectively pick up both the liquid contained in the first compartment, and also the granular elements and the liquid contained in the second compartment, in order to put them into circulation towards the delivery means.
  • the machine according to the present invention allows to selectively pick up the liquid and/or the granular elements with a single pump, and therefore has a reduced number of components and little complexity, advantageously using components normally available on the market, easily accessible and simple to repair.
  • the machine according to the present invention comprises valve means associated both with the first and also with the second compartment which, in cooperation with the pump, is able to be driven to determine the pick-up from each compartment, and the quantity of liquid and granular elements to be picked up.
  • the pump outlet is connected to the delivery means, while the pump intake is connected to both the first and also to the second compartment.
  • the valve means advantageously comprises two valves commanded by a single command member.
  • one of the valves is open, the other is closed, and vice versa.

  • the machine 10 also comprises a plurality of delivery nozzles 26, connected to the pump 18 and able to deliver the washing substance 20 to the objects 12.
  • the delivery nozzles 26 are shaped advantageously so that they are not obstructed by the washing substance 20.
  • the washing chamber 16 comprises a first compartment 30 able to contain the liquid 22, and a second compartment 32 able to contain the granular elements 24 and the liquid 22.
  • the first compartment 30 is separated from the second compartment 32 by means of a holed wall 34, for example made of sheet metal, and advantageously kept in a fixed position.
  • the holed wall 34 is provided with transverse holes, not shown in the drawings, having a size such as to prevent the granular elements 24 from passing from the second compartment 32 to the first compartment 30, but such as to allow the passage of the liquid 22 between the two compartment 30 and 32.
  • Each compartment 30, 32 is provided with a lower aperture connected by means of a sleeve to a corresponding valve 36, 38.
  • the two valves 36 and 38 are advantageously connected to two outputs 39a, respectively 39b, of a single command member 39, of a known type and commanded electrically.
  • the two outputs 39a and 39b belong to the same central shaft of the command member 39, able to rotate around its own axis, so as to open and close the valves 38, 39.
  • the two valves 36 and 38 are connected to the outputs 39a and 39b so as to be angularly offset with respect to each other by 90°, so that when one is open the other is closed, and vice versa.
  • Each valve 36, 38 is connected to a common collector 40 which is in turn connected to the intake of the pump 18.
  • the pump 18 When the pump 18 is activated, it selectively picks up the liquid 22 from the first compartment 30 and the granular elements 24 and the liquid 22 from the second compartment 32, by means of the collector 40, in order to put them into circulation to the delivery nozzles 26.
  • the pump 18 only picks up liquid 22 from the first compartment 30.
  • the pump 18 picks up both the liquid 22 and also the granular elements 24.
  • the quantity of the granular elements 24 is proportional to the aperture of said second valve 38.
  • the washing substance 20, obtained from the mixture of a determinate quantity of liquid 22 and a determinate quantity of granular elements 24, is thrown under pressure by the delivery nozzles 26 against the objects 12 to be washed, thus generating a mechanical action combined with the detergent action of the liquid 22.
  • the washing substance 20 then falls back into the second compartment 32, where the granular elements 24 are stopped by the holed wall 34, whereas the liquid 22 continues towards the first compartment 30.
