Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for supplying and treating water for a dishwashing machine.
  • this device comprises:
  • a device of this kind is described in the PCT patent application WO-2005/060 817 .
  • This known device comprises a divertor which is situated at the branch-off point for the two branches of the supply line and allows directing of the water supplied alternately into the first or the second tank.
  • the water passes through the water-softening substances and is softened so that it can then be introduced into the washing chamber of the dishwashing machine, without the formation of damaging deposits and the like.
  • said operation In the second case, relating instead to the regenerating stage, said operation must be performed periodically in order to reactivate the water-softening substances.
  • the brine formed in the second tank is subsequently made to pass through the water-softening substances, which are typically ion-exchange resins contained in the first tank, and are thus regenerated.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a device for supplying and treating water for a dishwashing machine which is improved compared to known devices and which in particular does not pose the problem mentioned above.
  • this object is achieved by means of a device of the type indicated at the start of the present description and characterized in that it comprises a valve situated at said branch-off point or a converging point of said first branch and said connection line, said valve being able to assume a first operating configuration where it blocks the outflow from the supply line towards the first tank via the second tank, while it allows the flow along the first branch towards the first tank, so that all the water supplied to the branch-off point is diverted directly into the first tank, and a second operating configuration where it allows both the outflow from the supply line towards the first tank via the second tank and the flow along the first branch towards the first tank, so that the water supplied is diverted into the first tank partly directly and partly via the second tank.
  • the device according to the invention does not require a storage vessel for the water to be supplied to the salt-containing tank.
  • the valve in no operating configuration of the valve is the flow along the first branch of the supply line towards the tank containing the water-softening substances interrupted. Therefore, even in the event of obstruction of the inlet and/or outlet openings of the salt-containing tank, the water supplied to the device may in any case flow outside of it, without giving rise to dangerous overpressure.
  • the regeneration step is performed supplying simultaneously both mains water and brine to the tank containing the water-softening substances.
  • the brine is thus diluted with the advantage that it has a less aggressive action on the water-softening substances.
  • the present invention also relates to a dishwashing machine comprising a water supply and treatment device of the type described above.
  • a water supply and treatment device for a dishwashing machine includes ( Figs. 1 and 2 ) a supply line 10 on which a filling valve 12 and a flowmeter 14 are mounted and which has situated thereafter a blow-off section 16. Downstream of the latter, the line 10 has a branch-off point 18 towards a first branch and a second branch 20, 22.
  • the device also comprises a first tank 24 for containing substances with water-softening properties, having an inlet opening 26 for water to be softened and an outlet opening 28 for softened water, and a second salt-containing tank 30 having a water inlet opening 32 and an outlet opening 34 for a regeneration brine formed following dissolving of the salt in the water.
  • a line 36 connects the second tank 30 to the first tank 24 so that the brine formed in the second tank 30 can flow out towards the first tank 24.
  • the first branch 20 of the supply line 10 leads into the connection line 36, while the second branch 22 leads to the inlet opening 32 of the second tank 30.
  • a valve 38 in particular an electric valve with a shutter element 39, is arranged at the convergence point 40 of the first branch 20 and the connection line 36.
  • the valve 38 is of the three-way type and allows selectively one path to be excluded from the connection with the other two paths which act as inlet and outlet, respectively, and the three paths to be connected so that two paths act as inlets and the remaining path acts as an outlet, as will be described in greater detail below.
  • the valve 38 is de-energized, while, in the condition ( Fig. 2 ) where the three paths are connected together, the valve 38 is energized.
  • the shutter element 39 must not perform any hydraulic sealing function. This is particular advantageous since, in the energized condition, the shutter element 39 is subject to vibrations, making it difficult to ensure effectively a hydraulic seal without having to adopt a complex and costly valve structure.
  • the device may be formed by a first portion comprising the tanks 24, 30 and the supply line part 10 downstream of the blow-off section 16, and by a second portion comprising the upstream part of the supply line 10 including the blow-off section 16. Between the first and the second portion, it is thus required to provide a single hydraulic connection which ensures the continuity of the supply line 10.
  • valve 38 assumes a first operating configuration where it prevents the outflow from the supply line 10 towards the first tank 24 via the second branch 22, the second tank 30 and the connection line 36, while it allows the flow inside the first branch 20 towards the first tank 24. In this way, all the water supplied to the branch-off point 18 is diverted directly (i.e. without passing through the second tank 30) into the first tank 24, where it is softened (cf. arrow 42).
  • the valve 38 assumes a second operating configuration where it allows both outflow from the supply line 10 towards the first tank 24 via the second branch 22, the second tank 30 and the connection line 36 and the flow inside the first branch 20 towards the first tank 24.
  • the water supplied is diverted into the first tank 24 partly (cf. arrow 42) directly and partly (cf. arrow 44) via the second tank 30, where it forms a brine which, passing subsequently through the first tank 24, regenerates the water-softening substances.
  • valve 38 In the second operating configuration, it is possible to regulate the valve 38, varying for example the position of the shutter element 39 and the outflow apertures, so as to adjust in the desired manner the ratio between the fractions of water diverted into the first tank 24 directly and via the second tank 30. It is obvious in fact that the more water is diverted into the first tank 24, the more the brine is diluted.
  • the filling valve 12 is of the adjustable type, it is also possible to vary the total flowrate of the water supplied depending on the operating condition assumed by the valve 38. In particular, it is convenient to reduce the total flowrate of the water during regeneration, so as to avoid the risk of an abnormal pressure increase inside the salt tank 30. When performing this adjustment, it is necessary to take into account the measurement data supplied by the flowmeter 14.
  • valve 38 moreover prevents backflow along the connection line 36 from the first tank 24 towards the second tank 30.
  • an additional non-return valve must be necessarily provided along the corresponding connection line of the device described in WO-2005/060 817 . Consequently, the device according to the invention may dispense with this non-return valve, being even simpler and less costly than the known valve.
  • FIGS 3 and 4 show an alternative embodiment of the device according to the invention, in which the same or equivalent parts are indicated by the same numbers used in the previous figures.
  • valve 38 which is now located at the branch-off point 18 of the supply line 10, while the first branch 20 of the line 10 leads to the inlet opening 26 of the first tank 24, instead of to connection line 36.
  • the valve 38 is still of the three-way type and allows one path to be excluded selectively from the connection with the other two paths which act as inlet and outlet, respectively, and the three paths to be connected together. In this latter case, however, two paths act as outlets and the remaining path acts as an inlet.
  • the method of operation of the device remains substantially the same as that described above.
  • the valve 38 assumes a first operating configuration where it blocks the outflow from the supply line 10 towards the first tank 24 via the second tank 30, preventing the flow of water into the second branch 22. At the same time, the valve 38 allows the flow along the first branch 20 towards the first tank 24 such that all the water supplied to the branch-off point 18 is diverted (cf. arrow 42) directly into the first tank 24, where it is softened.
  • valve 38 assumes a second operating configuration where it allows both the outflow from the supply line 10 towards the first tank 24 via the second branch 22 and the second tank 30 and the flow along the first branch 20 towards the first tank 24.
  • the water supplied is thus diverted into the first tank 24 partly (cf. arrow 42) directly and partly (cf. arrow 44) via the second tank 30, where it forms a brine which, passing subsequently through the first tank 24, regenerates the water-softening substances.
  • FIG. 5 shows a variation of embodiment of the device according to the invention described above, in which the same or equivalent parts are indicated by the same numbers used in the previous figures.
  • the only difference with respect to the device shown in Figures 3 and 4 consists in the additional presence of a non-return valve 46 along the connection line 36.
  • the valve 46 allows only the flow from the second tank 30 towards the first tank 24 and thus prevents, during the water-softening treatment, the water being able to flow from the first tank 24 towards the second tank 30, preventing the risk of abnormal pressure increases inside the latter.
  • the structure of the device and its method of operation are similar to those of the device shown in Figures 3 and 4 .
  • the opening time of the filling valve 12 is determined on the basis of a water flowrate which is not measured directly, but is calculated taking into account the filling time envisaged for the dishwashing machine.
