Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a dishwasher having a washing tub comprising a first and a second wall.
  • a detergent dispenser is arranged on the first wall.
  • the dispenser is provided with an activation device, which guarantees that all detergent is rinsed out during the wash program.
  • the device is activated when the front portion of the dishwasher is closed properly.
  • This type of device can not be used in drawer dishwashers since the drawer front wall is always in a substantially vertical position.
  • US 6,244,277 shows a prior art drawer dishwasher.
  • the drawer dishwasher has a detergent dispenser arranged in one of the walls of the washing chamber.
  • At least one water outlet nozzle is arranged in the same wall as the dispenser and directed towards the dispenser to facilitate the rinsing out of detergent.
  • the invention according to US 6,244,277 is adapted for use in an arrangement with two wash chambers and with the purpose of re-use rinsing water from the first wash chamber to the second wash chamber, therefore an arrangement according to US 6,244,277 requires a lot of special adapted components.
  • WO 2006/069827 shows a conventional dishwasher comprising a crockery basket which is arranged in a washing container and receives washable items and a cleaner dispensing chamber which is disposed in the wall or door of the washing container and dispenses the cleaner there inside.
  • Guiding devices are mounted in front of the crockery basket for deviating a water jet, which is directed to the crockery basket, towards the dispensing chamber.
  • the water jet derive both from a spray arm arranged under the crockery basket and from a nozzle arranged in the ceiling of the washing container.
  • a dishwasher which is characterized in that a water inlet is arranged on the second wall, wherein the water inlet is arranged to provide a water jet directed towards the detergent dispenser for rinsing out detergent from the dispenser, and wherein the water inlet is so arranged that the water jet is guided towards the detergent dispenser by a third limiting surface of the washing tub.
  • the detergent dispenser is arranged on a front wall of the washing tub and the water inlet is arranged on a rear wall of the washing tub, it is easy to reach the detergent dispenser when adding detergent to the dispenser.
  • an effective guiding arrangement is provided that hardly takes any space from the washing tub.
  • guiding ribs that are arranged as two elongated ribs with a front end each, arranged upstreams in relation to the direction of the water jet, and a rear end each, arranged downstreams in the direction of the water jet, and wherein the space between the ribs decreases from the rear of the ribs end towards the front end of the ribs.
  • the water jet is focused towards the detergent dispenser in a very effective way.
  • the deflection arrangement By providing a deflection arrangement on the inside of the ceiling, for deflecting the water jet from the ceiling downwards, towards the detergent dispenser yet another effective arrangement for guiding the water jet towards the detergent dispenser is provided.
  • the deflection arrangement also prevents the water jet from sprinkle towards the sealing between the washing tub and the ceiling of the washing tub and thereby, unnecessarily, exposing the sealing to a lot of water.
  • the already existing components are used to provide an effective arrangement for rinsing out detergent from the detergent dispenser.
  • already existing components an arrangement that takes little space is provided.
  • the water jet By arranging the water jet to sprinkle intermittently during a washing program of the dishwasher, the amount of water that is drawn from the pump can be apportioned during the wash program and applied to the dishwasher when it is needed the most. By this arrangement less water is needed during the wash program and a more environment friendly dishwasher is provided.
  • An arrangement according to the invention can with advantage be provided in a drawer dishwasher.
  • Fig 1 illustrates a dishwasher drawer 1, having a conventional washing tub 2.
  • An arrangement according to the invention can with advantage be provided in a drawer dishwasher, but can also be used for conventional dishwashers.
  • the drawer 1 and the washing tub 2 are the same unit.
  • the washing tub 2 has a front wall 3, a rear wall 4 and a ceiling 5 (see Fig 2 ).
  • the washing tub 2 and the ceiling 5 are with advantage made of rigid plastic, or that like.
  • the ceiling 5 and the upper edge of the washing tub are in an engagement position when the dishwasher is closed and during the wash program.
  • a sealing device (not shown) can with advantage be provided between the ceiling 5 and the washing tub 2 to prevent the risk of leakage.
  • a dispenser 6 for receiving detergent such as e.g. powder, tablets and liquid detergent etc., is arranged on the inside of a first wall 3.
  • the first wall 3 is the front wall 3 of the washing tub 2.
  • the dispenser 6 is arranged on the upper part of the front wall 3. Therefore there is a small distance between the detergent dispenser 6 and the ceiling 5.
  • Different types of detergent dispensers of conventional type can be used in the dishwasher according to the invention.
  • a detergent dispenser with a shutter that is opened during the wash program is with advantage used.
  • a water inlet 7 is arranged on the second wall 4 of the washing tub.
  • the second wall 4 is the rear wall 4 of the washing tub 2.
  • the water inlet 7 is connected to an outlet of a main circulation pump 9 of the dishwasher. More particularly the water inlet is connected to a ventilation outlet of the main circulation pump 9.
  • a ventilation device 10 When air is drawn through the pump 9 of the dishwasher, it is ventilated through a ventilation device 10, and when only water is drawn, a water jet 8 is provided through the ventilation device 10.
  • the water jet 8 is guided through the ventilation device 10.
  • the ventilation device 10 consists of a substantially vertical tube. The tube 10 is guided on the backside of the second wall 4 and attached to a water inlet 7 provided in the upper part of the second wall 4.
  • a nozzle 11 is arranged to the water inlet 7 and attached on the inside of the rear wall 4 of the washing tub 2.
  • the nozzle 11 has with advantage a spherical shape and is provided with a hole through which the water jet emerges.
  • the nozzle is so arranged that the water jet 8 is guided towards the detergent dispenser 6 by a third limiting surface 5 of the washing tub 2.
  • the third limiting surface 5 of the washing tub is the ceiling 5 of the washing tub 2.
  • the nozzle 11 is arranged on the inside of the rear wall 4, to direct the water jet 8 towards the dispenser 6 in order to rinse out detergent.
  • the nozzle 11 is locked in a specific position, so that the water jet 8 always hits the ceiling 5 with the same angle.
  • Parameters that effects the water jet 8 and how it ends up right are; the angle X with which the water jet hits the ceiling 5; the amount of water from the pump 9; and the water pressure of the water jet 8.
  • At least one guiding rib 12 is arranged on the inside of the ceiling 5, for guiding and focusing the water jet 8 towards the detergent dispenser 6.
  • the rib has a front end arranged upstreams in relation to the direction of the water jet 8, and a rear end arranged downstreams in the direction of the water jet 8.
  • At least two guiding ribs 12 are arranged as two elongated ribs, see fig 3 .
  • the ribs 12 are arranged in a direction along the direction of the water jet 8.
  • the space between the ribs 12 decreases from the rear end of the ribs 12 towards the front end of the ribs 12, see fig 3 .
  • a deflection arrangement 13 is arranged on the inside of the ceiling 5, for deflecting the water jet from the ceiling 5 downwards and towards the detergent dispenser 6.
  • the ribs 12 and the deflecting arrangement 13 are moulded of the same material as the ceiling 5 and represents a part of the ceiling 5.
  • the water jet 8 - sprinkles continuously, in pulses, during the washing program of the dishwasher.
  • spillage water is obtained from the water jet 8.
  • the spillage water can be used to provide additional wetting to the objects to be washed, in addition to the water from a conventional sprinkler (not shown) arranged in the bottom of the washing space.
  • the water jet 8 is arranged to sprinkle intermittently during a washing program of the dishwasher.
  • the washing tub 2 is arranged in a drawer of a drawer dishwasher.
  • Typical drawer dishwashers comprise two such drawers, arranged on top of each other. However, configurations with one or more drawers are contemplated.
  • the ceiling 5 is the lid of the drawer.
