Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Geschirrspülmaschine mit einer Tür, in der eine Reinigerzugabe für Reinigungsmittel angeordnet ist, das einem Behandlungsraum zugeführt wird, in dem mindestens ein Aufbewahrungsbehälter für zu reinigendes Gut angeordnet ist, das von mindestens einer Sprühvorrichtung besprüht wird.The invention relates to a dishwasher with a door, in which a cleaner for cleaning agent is arranged, which is supplied to a treatment room in which at least one storage container is arranged for to be cleaned Good, which is sprayed by at least one spray device.

Eine derartige Geschirrspülmaschine ist beispielsweise durch die EP 1 281 346 bekannt geworden.Such a dishwasher is for example by the EP 1 281 346 known.

Aus der DE 3722648 ist eine Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme von Spülmaschinenreinigern in Form von Pulverpresslingen in Haushaltsgeschirrspülmaschinen bekannt, welche die Aufnahme der Pulverpresslinge im Inneren der Spülmaschine ohne Beeinträchtigung des Spülergebnisses ermöglicht. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, dass die Vorrichtung als im Inneren der Spülmaschine anbringbarer Dosierbehälter mit wenigstens einer dem Pressling aufnehmenden Dosierkammer mit wenigstens bereichsweise perforierten Seiten und/oder Bodenflächen ausgebildet ist.
Nachteilig ist jedoch, dass das Reinigungsmittel sich schon vor dem ersten Spülgang in der Geschirrspülmaschine befindet. Das Spülprogramm kann daher nicht den guten Zeitpunkt zur Zugabe für das Reinigungsmittel steuern. Das Auflösungsverhalten des Reinigungsmittels wird dadurch negativ beeinflusst und verursacht ein schlechtes Spülergebnis.From the DE 3722648 a device for receiving dishwasher cleaners in the form of powder compacts in household dishwashers is known, which allows the inclusion of the powder compacts inside the dishwasher without affecting the washing result. This is achieved in that the device is designed as an attachable in the interior of the dishwasher dosing with at least one of the pellet receiving dosing chamber with at least partially perforated sides and / or bottom surfaces.
The disadvantage, however, is that the detergent is already in the dishwasher before the first rinse cycle. The wash program therefore can not control the good time to add detergent. The dissolution behavior of the cleaning agent is adversely affected and causes a poor wash result.

Ferner ist aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, dass die Reinigungsmitteltabletten vor dem Reinigungsvorgang in einen Geschirrkorb gelegt werden und dann sich während des gesamten Reinigungsvorganges auflösen.
Ein gravierender Nachteil wird dadurch hervorgerufen, dass sich während des Reinigungsvorganges die Reinigungstablette nur unzureichend auflöst und unerwünschte Klumpen nach dem Reinigungsvorgang im Behandlungsraum verbleiben. Ebenfalls ist nicht auszuschließen, dass die Reinigungsmitteltablette mit dem Geschirr in Berührung kommt, und sich dadurch unerwünschte Flecken am Geschirr bilden können.Furthermore, it is known from the prior art that the detergent tablets are placed in a dish rack before the cleaning process and then dissolve during the entire cleaning process.
A serious disadvantage is caused by the fact that during the cleaning process, the cleaning tablet dissolves only insufficient and unwanted lumps remain after the cleaning process in the treatment room. Likewise, it can not be ruled out that the detergent tablet comes into contact with the dishes, and as a result may form undesirable stains on the dishes.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei Geschirrspülmaschinen der eingangs näher beschriebenen Art das Reinigungsmittel während des Betriebes so dem Behandlungsraum zuzuführen, dass nach dem Reinigungsvorgang sich keine Reinigungsmittelreste mehr im Behandlungsraum befinden.The invention is based on the object in the case of dishwashers of the type described in more detail to supply the detergent during operation so the treatment room that after the cleaning process no detergent residues are more in the treatment room.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass das Reinigungsmittel während des Betriebes mindestens einer am Aufbewahrungsbehälter angeordneten Auflösungskammer zugeführt wird.
Durch diese Anordnung wird das Reinigungsmittel zu dem für den Reinigungsvorgang guten Zeitpunkt zielgerecht einer Auflösungskammer zugeführt, in der sich das Reinigungsmittel gut auflösen kann. Dadurch wird verhindert, dass sich nach dem Reinigungsvorgang noch Reinigungsmittelreste in der Geschirrspülmaschine befinden. Ferner wird durch diese Anordnung verhindert, dass das Reinigungsmittel mit dem Geschirr in Kontakt kommt und somit die Bildung von Flecken am Geschirr verhindert wird.This object is achieved in that the cleaning agent is supplied during operation of at least one arranged on the storage container dissolving chamber.
As a result of this arrangement, the cleaning agent is purposefully supplied to the dissolution chamber at the time which is suitable for the cleaning process, in which the cleaning agent can dissolve well. This prevents that there are still detergent residues in the dishwasher after the cleaning process. Furthermore, this arrangement prevents the cleaning agent from coming into contact with the dishes and thus preventing the formation of stains on the dishes.

Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass die Auflösungskammer an einer vorderen Seitenwand des Aufbewahrungsbehälters angeordnet ist.
Der wesentliche Vorteil hierbei liegt darin, dass die Auflösungskammer leicht zugänglich für den Benutzer angeordnet ist, um diese beispielsweise zu säubern, wenn sich Lebensmittelreste angereichert haben.According to a preferred embodiment it is provided that the dissolution chamber is arranged on a front side wall of the storage container.
The main advantage here is that the dissolution chamber is easily accessible to the user, for example, to clean them when food remains have accumulated.

Gemäß einer alternativen Ausgestaltung des Gegenstandes der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Auflösungskammer an einer Frontwand des Aufbewahrungsbehälters angeordnet ist.
Durch diese Anordnung ist sichergestellt, dass der Transportweg zwischen der Zugabe und der Auflösungskammer gering ist und das Reinigungsmittel sicher in die Reinigungskammer fällt. Des Weiteren ist der konstruktive Aufwand sehr gering, da keine zusätzlichen Werkzeuge benötigt werden.According to an alternative embodiment of the object of the invention can be provided that the dissolution chamber is arranged on a front wall of the storage container.
This arrangement ensures that the transport path between the addition and the dissolution chamber is low and the cleaning agent falls safely into the cleaning chamber. Furthermore, the design effort is very low, since no additional tools are needed.

Bei einer weiteren alternativen Ausgestaltung des Gegenstandes der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Auflösungskammer in der Mitte des Aufbewahrungsbehälters angeordnet ist.
Die Lösung zeigt den Vorteil, dass die Auflösungskammer von der Sprühvorrichtung effektiv mit Flüssigkeit beaufschlagt wird und dadurch sich das Reinigungsmittel im wesentlichen auflösen kann. Ferner ist die Auflösungskammer für den Benutzer leicht zugänglich.In a further alternative embodiment of the object of the invention can be provided that the dissolution chamber is arranged in the middle of the storage container.
The solution has the advantage that the dissolving chamber is effectively supplied with liquid by the spraying device, thereby allowing the cleaning agent to substantially dissolve. Furthermore, the dissolution chamber is easily accessible to the user.

Nach einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass die Auflösungskammer als integraler Bestandteil des Aufbewahrungsbehälters ausgebildet ist.
Ein entsprechend diesen Merkmalen konstruierter Aufbewahrungsbehälter zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass der fertigungstechnische Aufwand gering ist, da der Aufbewahrungsbehälter und die Auflösungskammer einteilig gebildet werden können.According to a further preferred embodiment it is provided that the dissolution chamber is formed as an integral part of the storage container.
A storage container constructed in accordance with these features is characterized by the fact that the manufacturing outlay is low, since the storage container and the dissolution chamber can be formed in one piece.

Nach einer alternativen Ausgestaltung des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Auflösungskammer als ein dem Aufbewahrungsbehälter zugeordnetes autarkes Bauteil ausgebildet ist.
Der wesentliche Vorteil hierbei liegt darin, dass für den Benutzer die Möglichkeit besteht, die Auflösungskammer zum Reinigen aus dem im Behandlungsraum angeordneten Aufbewahrungsbehälter herauszunehmen. Darüber hinaus kann die Auflösungskammer im Falle einer Beschädigung ausgewechselt werden, ohne dazu den Aufbewahrungsbehälter austauschen zu müssen.According to an alternative embodiment of the object of the invention it is provided that the dissolution chamber is designed as a self-sufficient component associated with the storage container.
The main advantage here is that it is possible for the user to remove the dissolving chamber for cleaning out of the storage container arranged in the treatment room. In addition, the dissolution chamber can be replaced in case of damage without having to replace the storage container.

Entsprechend einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass mindestens eine Kammerwand und ein Boden der Auflösungskammer flüssigkeitsdurchlässig ausgebildet ist.
Durch diese Maßnahme gelingt es, dass Reinigungsflüssigkeit in die Auflösungskammer gelangt, um das Reinigungsmittel zu lösen. Ebenfalls wird verhindert, dass die Reinigungsflüssigkeit sich im Behälter ansammelt, diesen füllt und dadurch das Reinigungsmittel aus der Auflösungskammer heraus geschwemmt wird.According to a further preferred embodiment, it is provided that at least one chamber wall and a bottom of the dissolution chamber is designed to be liquid-permeable.
By this measure, it is possible that cleaning liquid enters the dissolving chamber to dissolve the detergent. Also, it is prevented that the cleaning liquid accumulates in the container, fills it and thereby the detergent is washed out of the dissolution chamber.

Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass die Kammerwand und der Boden aus einem feinmaschigen Gitter ausgebildet sind.
Vorteilhafterweise wird dadurch verhindert, dass frühzeitig größere Klumpen des Reinigungsmittels in den Behandlungsraum fallen. Dadurch ist gewährleistet, dass sich das Reinigungsmittel im wesentlichen in der Auflösungskammer auflösen kann.According to a preferred embodiment it is provided that the chamber wall and the bottom are formed from a fine-mesh grid.
Advantageously, this prevents premature large lumps of the cleaning agent fall into the treatment room. This ensures that the cleaning agent can dissolve essentially in the dissolution chamber.

Nach einer alternativen Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass der Boden der Auflösungskammer eine Öffnung aufweist, die längs und/oder quer zum austretenden Flüssigkeitsstrahl ausgebildet ist.According to an alternative embodiment it is provided that the bottom of the dissolution chamber has an opening which is formed longitudinally and / or transversely to the exiting liquid jet.

Der Vorteil besteht darin, dass das Reinigungsmittel im wesentlichen während des Betriebes aufgelöst wird. Das Reinigungsmittel wird durch die Öffnungen angelöst, wodurch sich die Wirkstoffe des Reinigungsmittels während des späteren Spülverlaufs besser auflösen können.The advantage is that the cleaning agent is dissolved substantially during operation. The cleaning agent is dissolved through the openings, whereby the active ingredients of the cleaning agent can dissolve better during the subsequent flushing process.

Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Boden der Auflösungskammer gewölbt ausgebildet ist. Vorteilhafterweise wird dadurch das Reinigungsmittel, insbesondere pulverförmiges Reinigungsmittel an den Seitewänden gelagert wodurch sich das pulverförmige Reinigungsmittel nicht so schnell auflösen kann und somit in die späteren Phasen des Reinigungsvorgangs verschleppt wird. Somit ist sichergestellt, dass auch zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt das zu reinigende Gut gesäubert wird.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the object of the invention it is provided that the bottom of the dissolution chamber is curved. Advantageously, the cleaning agent, in particular pulverulent cleaning agent, is thereby stored on the side walls, whereby the pulverulent cleaning agent can not dissolve so quickly and is thus carried off into the later phases of the cleaning process. This ensures that the material to be cleaned is cleaned at a later time.

Nach einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Sprühvorrichtung über und/oder unter der Auflösungskammer angeordnet ist und der Auflösungskammer Wasser zuführt.
Durch diese Anordnung der Sprühvorrichtung ist sichergestellt, dass die Auflösungskammer stets mit genügend Wasser versorgt wird, so dass das Reinigungsmittel sich gut auflösen kann, d.h. das eine Klumpenbildung des Reinigungsmittels verhindert wird.According to an advantageous development of the object of the invention it is provided that the spraying device is arranged above and / or below the dissolving chamber and supplies water to the dissolving chamber.
This arrangement of the spray device ensures that the dissolution chamber is always supplied with sufficient water, so that the cleaning agent can dissolve well, ie, the formation of lumps of the cleaning agent is prevented.

Nach einer nächsten bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass mindestens ein aus der Sprühvorrichtung kommender Flüssigkeitsstrahl auf den Boden der Auflösungskammer abgelenkt wird.
Diese Lösung zeichnet sich besonders dadurch aus, dass das in der Auflösungskammer auf dem Boden angeordnete Reinigungsmittel sich während des Reinigungsvorgangs gut zersetzt, so dass eine Klumpenbildung in den Ecken der Auflösungskammer ausgeschlossen ist.According to a next preferred embodiment, it is provided that at least one liquid jet coming from the spraying device is deflected onto the bottom of the dissolving chamber.
This solution is characterized in particular by the fact that the cleaning agent arranged in the dissolving chamber on the floor decomposes well during the cleaning process, so that lumping in the corners of the dissolving chamber is precluded.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung des Gegenstandes der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Flüssigkeitsstrahl auf den Boden im rechten Winkel auftrifft.
Dadurch ist sichergestellt, dass der Flüssigkeitsstrahl das Reinigungsmittel mit Flüssigkeit besprüht und gleichzeitig nicht vom Boden der Auflösungskammer zu den Seitenwänden des Behandlungsraumes abgelenkt wird, da dadurch unerwünschte Geräuschentwicklungen für den Benutzer entstehen können.According to a further embodiment of the object of the invention can be provided that the liquid jet impinges on the ground at right angles.
This ensures that the jet of liquid sprays the cleaning agent with liquid and at the same time not from the bottom of the dissolution chamber to the side walls the treatment room is distracted, as this may cause unwanted noise to the user.

Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass eine Einfüllklappe der Reinigerzugabe in einer Ebene liegt, die um einen Winkel α gegenüber der Ebene der Innenseite der Tür geneigt ist.
Die erfindungsgemäße Geschirrspülmaschine weist somit den Vorteil auf, dass beim Öffnungsvorgang der Reinigerzugabe aufgrund der Schwerkraft das Reinigungsmittel automatisch in die in dem Behandlungsraum angeordnete Auflösungskammer fällt.In a further advantageous embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that a filling flap of the cleaner addition is in a plane which is inclined by an angle α relative to the plane of the inside of the door.
The dishwashing machine according to the invention thus has the advantage that, during the opening process of the detergent addition, due to gravity, the detergent automatically falls into the dissolving chamber arranged in the treatment space.

Nach einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Reinigerzugabe über dem Aufbewahrungsbehälter angeordnet ist.
Dadurch ist sichergestellt, dass das Reinigungsmittel ohne besondere konstruktive Maßnahmen in die Auflösungskammer fällt.According to an advantageous development of the object of the invention it is provided that the detergent addition is arranged above the storage container.
This ensures that the cleaning agent falls into the dissolution chamber without special design measures.

Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass die Sprühvorrichtung als ein Sprühboden ausgebildet ist und mindestens ein Sprührohr unter der Auflösungskammer angeordnet ist.
Durch diese Anordnung gelingt es unabhängig vom Ort der Auflösungskammer das Reinigungsmittel innerhalb der Auflösungskammer mit Wasser zu versorgen, um somit das Reinigungsmittel aufzulösen.According to a preferred embodiment, it is provided that the spray device is designed as a spray base and at least one spray tube is arranged below the dissolution chamber.
By this arrangement, it is possible regardless of the location of the dissolution chamber to supply the cleaning agent within the dissolution chamber with water, thus dissolving the detergent.

Besonders einfach und kostengünstig ist die Konstruktion, wenn die Sprühvorrichtung als Sprühdüse oder Brause ausgebildet ist.Particularly simple and inexpensive construction is when the spray device is designed as a spray nozzle or shower.

Gemäß einer alternativen Ausgestaltung des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Sprühvorrichtung mindestens einen rotierenden Sprüharm mit mindestens einer Sprühdüse aufweist.
Die Lösung zeigt den Vorteil, dass die Auflösungskammer und das sich in der Auflösungskammer angeordnete Reinigungsmittel mit genügend Flüssigkeit versorgt werden.According to an alternative embodiment of the object of the invention it is provided that the spraying device has at least one rotating spray arm with at least one spray nozzle.
The solution shows the advantage that the dissolving chamber and the cleaning agent arranged in the dissolving chamber are supplied with sufficient liquid.

Nach einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Abstand der Sprühvorrichtung zum Boden der Auflösungskammer ausreicht, um das Reinigungsmittel im wesentlichen ganz aufzulösen.
Der Vorteil besteht darin, dass keine Reste des Reinigungsmittels sich nach dem Betrieb in der Auflösungskammer befinden, so dass der Benutzer sicher sein kann, dass das Reinigungsmittel während des Reinigungsvorgangs seine gesamten Wirkstoffe entfalten konnte. Ebenfalls wird dadurch verhindert, dass der Benutzer die Auflösungskammer säubern muss, wodurch ein weiterer Arbeitsschritt entfällt.According to a preferred embodiment of the object of the invention it is provided that the distance of the spray device to the bottom of the dissolution chamber is sufficient to substantially completely dissolve the cleaning agent.
The advantage is that no residues of the cleaning agent are in the dissolution chamber after operation, so that the user can be sure that the cleaning agent could unfold its entire active ingredients during the cleaning process. It also prevents the user from having to clean the dissolution chamber, eliminating the need for another step.

Inside the door 2 there is a cleaner feed 8 connected to the control electronics 7 for storing a block-shaped cleaning agent 9 and a rinse aid. However, the detergent addition 8 is also suitable for storing a liquid or powdered detergent. A chamber 10, which is associated with a filling flap 11 for closing, serves for storage of the cleaning agent 9, and is set back in the inner door 4. The filling flap 11 lies in a plane which is inclined at an angle α with respect to the plane of the inside of the door.
An accessible via the open door 2 treatment room 12, the inner shell 13 is formed of stainless steel, has not shown on its non-visualized container side walls two guide rails, not shown, on which a trained as a storage container 14 dish rack is held for storage for a not shown to be cleaned good. The body of the storage container 14 has plastic-coated metal rods 15. A dissolution chamber 16, which is integrated into the body of the storage container 14, comprises chamber walls 17 and a bottom 18, all of which have a fine-meshed grid 19. The dissolution chamber 16 is located below the filler flap 11 of the detergent addition 8.
A spray arm designed as a spray device 21 has on its upper side and on its underside a plurality of spray nozzles 22. In spray devices 21, in particular in the case of a rotating spray arm, the dissolution chamber 16 is advantageously located on a front wall 24 in the middle of the storage container 14.

In Figur 2 ist ein Aufbewahrungsbehälter 14' mit einer Auflösungskammer 16' gezeigt.
In den Korpus des Aufbewahrungsbehälters 14' ist eine als Sprühboden ausgebildete Sprühvorrichtung 21' mit Sprühdüsen 22' integriert. Alternativ kann der Sprühboden sich auch unterhalb des Aufbewahrungsbehälters 14' befinden.
Dem Aufbewahrungsbehälter sind Seitenwände 23' und eine Frontwand 24' zugeordnet. Die Auflösungskammer 16' ist an der Frontwand 24' in der Mitte des Aufbewahrungsbehälters 14' abnehmbar gehalten, wo der Aufbewahrungsbehälter 14' eine Aussparung 26' zum Einsetzen der Auflösungskammer 16' aufweist. Alternativ kann jedoch die Auflösungskammer 16' auch an den Seitenwänden 23' der Auflösungskammer 16' angeordnet sein. Die Auflösungskammer 16' befindet sich vorzugsweise unterhalb einer nicht gezeigten Reinigerzugabe.In FIG. 2 For example, a storage container 14 'having a dissolution chamber 16' is shown.
In the body of the storage container 14 'is designed as a spray bottom spray device 21' with spray nozzles 22 'integrated. Alternatively, the spray floor can also be located below the storage container 14 '.
The storage container side walls 23 'and a front wall 24' are assigned. The dissolution chamber 16 'is detachably held on the front wall 24' in the center of the storage container 14 ', where the storage container 14' has a recess 26 'for insertion of the dissolution chamber 16'. Alternatively, however, the dissolution chamber 16 'may also be disposed on the side walls 23' of the dissolution chamber 16 '. The dissolution chamber 16 'is preferably located below a detergent addition, not shown.

In Figur 3 ist die Auflösungskammer 16' gezeigt. Sie weist vier Kammerwände 17' und einen Boden 18' auf. Die Kammerwände 17' und der Boden 18' der Auflösungskammer 16' sind als ein feinmaschiges Gitter 19' ausgebildet. Alternativ können die Kammerwände 17' wahlweise auch als ein grobmaschiges Gitter ausgebildet sein. Alternativ ist der Boden 18' aus einer oder mehreren Öffnungen ausgebildet ist, die längs oder quer zur Richtung des austretenden Flüssigkeitsstrahls ausgebildet sind. An den Kammerwänden 17' sind Griffe 20' angeordnet.In FIG. 3 For example, the dissolution chamber 16 'is shown. It has four chamber walls 17 'and a bottom 18'. The chamber walls 17 'and the bottom 18' of the dissolution chamber 16 'are formed as a fine mesh grid 19'. Alternatively, the chamber walls 17 'may optionally be formed as a coarse mesh grid. Alternatively, the bottom 18 'is formed of one or more openings that are longitudinal or transverse to the Direction of the exiting liquid jet are formed. On the chamber walls 17 'handles 20' are arranged.

In Figur 4 ist die Auflösungskammer 16" dargestellt. Sie weist vier Kammerwände 17" und einen Boden 18" auf, die alle aus einem feinmaschigen Gitter 19" ausgebildet sind. Alternativ können anstatt des feimmaschigen Gitters 19" auch eine oder mehrere kleine Öffnungen angeordnet sein. Ebenfalls kann alternativ auch ein grobmaschiges Gitter verwendet werden, um das Reinigungsmittel schneller aufzulösen. Der Boden der Auflösungskammer ist längs zu den Griffen 20" gewölbt, so dass das Reinigungsmittel, insbesondere pulverförmiges Reinigungsmittel an die Grenzfläche zwischen den Kammerwänden 17" und den gewölbten Boden 18" hinunter rutscht. Dort legt es sich vermehrt ab, bildet kleine Häufchen und kann somit nicht sofort aus der Auflösungskammer 16" herausgeschwemmt werden. Dadurch kann sich das Reinigungsmittel während des Reinigungsvorgangs gleichmäßiger verteilen. Die Wölbung des Bodens 18" kann alternativ auch quer zu den Griffen 20" ausgebildet sein.In FIG. 4 the dissolution chamber 16 "is shown having four chamber walls 17" and a bottom 18 ", all of which are formed of a fine mesh lattice 19". Alternatively, one or more small openings may be arranged instead of the fine mesh lattice 19. Also, a coarse mesh lattice may be used to dissolve the detergent more quickly In particular, powdered cleaning agent slips down to the interface between the chamber walls 17 "and the domed bottom 18". There it settles increasingly, forms small clumps and thus can not be flushed out of the dissolving chamber 16 "immediately, thereby allowing the cleaning agent to spread more evenly throughout the cleaning process." The curvature of the bottom 18 "can alternatively also be formed transversely to the handles 20" be.

Das Reinigungsmittel 9, insbesondere eine Reinigungsmitteltablette wird vom Benutzer in die Reinigerzugabe 8 eingelegt und mittels des Klappdeckels 11 verschlossen. Der Benutzer verschließt den Behandlungsraum 12 mit der Tür 2 und wählt mit Hilfe des Programmwahlschalters 6 ein Programm aus, das im wesentlichen die Programmschritte "Vorspülen - Reinigen - Zwischenspülen - Klarspülen - Trocknen" umfasst und in der Steuer- und Regelungselektronik 7 gespeichert ist.
Während des Reinigungsvorgangs wählt die Steuer- und Regelungselektronik 7 abhängig vom Programm den Zeitpunkt zur Öffnung des Klappdeckels 11 der Reinigerzugabe 8. Da der Klappdeckel 11 in einer Ebene angeordnet ist, die um einen Winkel α (Fig. 1) zur Ebene der Innenseite der Tür 2 geneigt liegt, fällt das Reinigungsmittel 8 auf Grund der Schwerkraft aus der Kammer 12 heraus. Das Reinigungsmittel 8 fällt in die in dem Aufbewahrungsbehälter 14 zugeordnete Auflösungskammer 16. Da die Kammerwände 17 und der Boden 18 der Auflösungskammer 16 ein feinmaschiges Gitter 19 aufweisen, fallen keine größeren Reinigungsmittelelemente aus der Auflösungskammer 16 heraus, so dass das Reinigungsmittel 9 sicher gelagert ist. Ferner ist das feinmaschige Gitter 19 wasserdurchlässig ausgebildet, so dass die Flüssigkeit in die Auflösungskammer 16 eindringen und das Reinigungsmittel 8 auflösen kann. Es ist ausgeschlossen, dass größere Klumpen des Reinigungsmittels 8 in den Behandlungsraum 14 und auf das zu reinigende Gut fallen.
Der als Sprühvorrichtung 21 ausgebildete Sprüharm benetzt bei jeder Umdrehung zweimal die Auflösungskammer 16. Aus den an der Oberseite des Sprüharms angeordneten Sprühdüsen 22 treten Flüssigkeitsstrahlen aus und treffen den Boden 18 der Auflösungskammer 16 im Winkel β im Bereich von 90°, so dass die Flüssigkeitsstrahlen nicht von der Auflösungskammer 16 an die Behälterseitenwände der Geschirrspülmaschine 1 abgelenkt werden.
Falls sich ein Reinigungsmittel 9' in Figur 2 nicht vollständig in der Auflösungskammer 16' aufgelöst hat, kann nach dem Betrieb die autarke Auflösungskammer 16' mit Hilfe der Griffe 20' aus dem Behandlungsraum 12' entnommen und gereinigt werden, so dass bei längeren Betriebspausen das Reinigungsmittel 9' nicht schimmelt und unangenehme Gerüche im Behandlungsraum 12' entstehen.The cleaning agent 9, in particular a detergent tablet is inserted by the user in the detergent addition 8 and closed by means of the hinged lid 11. The user closes the treatment room 12 with the door 2 and selects with the help of the program selector switch 6, a program that essentially includes the program steps "pre-rinsing - cleaning - intermediate rinsing - rinse - drying" and is stored in the control electronics 7.
During the cleaning process, the control electronics 7 selects depending on the program, the time to open the hinged lid 11 of the cleaner addition 8. Since the hinged lid 11 is arranged in a plane which by an angle α ( Fig. 1 ) is inclined to the plane of the inside of the door 2, the detergent 8 falls out of the chamber 12 due to gravity. The cleaning agent 8 falls into the dissolving chamber 16 associated with the storage container 14. Since the chamber walls 17 and the bottom 18 of the dissolving chamber 16 have a fine mesh 19, no larger detergent elements fall out of the dissolving chamber 16, so that the cleaning agent 9 is stored safely. Furthermore, the fine-meshed grid 19 is permeable to water, so that the liquid can penetrate into the dissolving chamber 16 and dissolve the cleaning agent 8. It is excluded that larger lumps of detergent 8 fall into the treatment room 14 and on the good to be cleaned.
The spray arm designed as a spraying device 21 wets the dissolving chamber 16 twice in each revolution. From the spraying nozzles 22 located at the top of the spraying arm, liquid jets exit and hit the bottom 18 of the dissolving chamber 16 at an angle β in the range of 90 ° so that the liquid jets do not be deflected from the dissolution chamber 16 to the container side walls of the dishwasher 1.
If a cleaning agent 9 'in FIG. 2 is not completely dissolved in the dissolution chamber 16 ', the self-sufficient dissolving chamber 16' can be removed and cleaned with the aid of the handles 20 'from the treatment chamber 12' after operation so that the detergent 9 'does not mold and cause unpleasant odors during prolonged periods of operation Treatment room 12 'arise.
