Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for supplying and treating water for a dishwashing machine.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a device of this kind which is highly integrated so as to reduce the complexity of the operations necessary for assembling it on a dishwashing machine and the number of hydraulic connections - which are a potential cause of leaks - needed to perform said assembly.
  • a device for supplying and treating water for a dishwashing machine comprising:
  • a further object of the present invention also consists of a dishwashing machine comprising a device for supplying and treating water of the type described above.
  • a device for supplying and treating water for a dishwashing machine comprises (Fig. 1) a line 10 for supplying the water, along which line an electric filling valve 12 and a flowmeter 14 are arranged.
  • the supply line 10 also includes a blow-off section 16 and leads to an inlet opening 20 of a first tank 22 for containing substances with water-softening properties.
  • the line 10 also supplies a water storage chamber 24 which is connected by a line 26 to an inlet opening 27 of a second tank 28 for containing salt, the outlet opening 29 of which is connected by a line 30, provided with a selective intercepting member 32, to the first tank 22.
  • the second tank 28 has a neck 34 which is surrounded externally by an annular wall 36 so as to determine the formation of an interspace 38.
  • the latter too may have an annular extension or extend only over an arc of a circumference.
  • the neck has a vertical axis 40 coinciding with that of the body of the tank 28.
  • a removable plug 42 closes the inlet mouth of the neck 34 and is situated above the interspace 38 without touching the upper edge of the annular wall 36.
  • the constructional details of the neck 34, the plug 42 and the interspace 38 are, for example, described in the document EP-A-1 025 793 , the content of which must be regarded as incorporated in the present description by way of citation.
  • a line 44 into which a further line 46 which collects the waste water from the blow-off section 16 leads, connects an outlet opening 48 of the first tank 22 to the interspace 38.
  • the device described above is assembled on a dishwashing machine so that the annular wall 36 is sealingly mounted through an opening 50 formed in the bottom 52 of the washing chamber.
  • the water supplied via the line 10 passes through the first tank 22 (arrow 54) where it is softened and then enters the line 44 and is directed (arrow 56) into the interspace 38, from where it enters directly (arrow 58) into the washing chamber.
  • the waste water from the blow-off section 16 is also conveyed (arrow 60) into the line 44 where it is combined with the softened water and follows the same path as it.
  • regeneration of the water-softener substances contained in the first tank 22 is also performed in a substantially conventional manner.
  • the selective intercepting member 32 is opened so as to cause the water which has collected inside the chamber 24 to flow towards the second tank 28 with the formation of a brine which is then conveyed (arrow 62) via the line 30 into the first tank 22 so as to regenerate the water-softener substances contained inside it.
  • the device according to the invention may therefore be assembled in a considerably simplified manner on a dishwashing machine because it does not require the presence of any separate pipe for supplying the water into the washing chamber.
  • FIGS 2 to 4 show an alternative embodiment of the device according to the invention, in which numbers the same as those used in the preceding figures identify the same or equivalent parts.
  • the neck 34 of the second tank 28 has an axis 40 which is inclined with respect to the vertical so that it comprises a first region 62 which forms an acute angle with the adjacent horizontal shoulder portion 64 of the body of the second tank 28 and a second region 66 which forms an obtuse angle with the adjacent horizontal shoulder portion 68 of the body of the second tank 28.
  • the zone of the annular wall 36 facing the first region 62 of the neck 34 has, formed therein, a plurality of holes 70 for communication between the interspace 38 and the washing chamber, which are circumferentially spaced from each other.
  • the line 46 which collects the waste water from the blow-off section 16 communicates with a breather opening 72.
  • FIG 3 shows in greater detail the assembly of the annular wall 36 through the opening 50 formed in the bottom 52 of the washing chamber, which is inclined in a manner corresponding to the axis 40 of the neck 34.
  • the annular wall 36 has on its outer surface a thread 74 which is intended to engage with a matching thread 75 of a fixing ring nut 76 (shown separately in Figure 4) which is also provided with a plurality of circumferentially spaced radial holes 78 and is arranged above the bottom 52 of the washing chamber.
  • An annular seal 80 is instead arranged between the underside of the bottom 52 of the washing chamber and the facing surfaces of the device.
  • This second embodiment of the device according to the invention therefore integrates the further function of discharging of the vapours formed inside the washing chamber, allowing further simplification of the structure and the method of assembling the dishwashing machine with which the device is associated.
  • Figure 5 shows a further alternative embodiment of the device according to the invention, in which the same numbers as those used in the previous figures identify the same or equivalent parts. The parts not shown in Figure 5 are similar to those of the device according to the previous embodiment.
  • the neck 34 of the second tank 28 has its axis 40 which is inclined with respect to the vertical.
  • the annular wall 36 has a first circumferential portion 84 which surrounds the bottom section 85 of the neck 34 of the second tank 28, forming the interspace 38, and a second circumferential portion 86 which is situated above the first portion 84 and which forms the upper section of the neck 34.
  • the bottom section 85 and the upper section 86 of the neck 34 are joined by a wall 94 which is shaped in the manner of a circumferential rim or optionally an arc of a circumferential rim and which extends transversely with respect to the bottom section 85 and upper section 86.
  • the outer surface of the annular wall 36 has a thread 74, the bottom section of which is engaged by a matching thread 75 of a fixing ring nut 76 and the upper section of which is engaged by a matching thread 88 of a circumferential shoulder 90 which protrudes transversely from a bottom wall 92 of a plug 42 for closing the inlet mouth of the neck 34.
  • Both the first circumferential portion 84 of the annular wall 36 and the ring nut 76 have respective pluralities of circumferentially staggered radial holes 70, 78.
  • the supply water flows out of the interspace 38 towards the washing chamber via the holes 70, 78.
  • the constructional design of the supply device is simplified since a same thread 74 is used for mating with two different parts, namely the ring nut 76 and the plug 42.
