Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dishwasher wherein energy is saved by adapting the washing programs.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a dishwasher wherein a short washing program is implemented when desired, without using a different button.
  • a sensor detects whether or not detergent is present in the detergent dispenser and in case detergent is not present, a signal is sent to the control unit, providing to employ only a short washing program, for example the pre-wash program stored in the memory instead of implementing all the washing programs. After the implementation of the short washing program, the washing process is ended without going on to the other washing programs like the main wash and rinsing.
  • a switch is used that detects whether the detergent lid is closed or not. When the detergent lid is not closed by the user, the switch sends a signal to the control unit and the control unit evaluates this signal as "detergent is not present", providing only the short washing program to be employed when the start button is pressed on.
  • a simple switch is used as the sensor that sends an on-off signal when the lid of the detergent dispenser is closed and opened and an inexpensive solution is provided.
  • the user in order to implement the short washing program, the user has to merely leave the lid of the detergent dispenser open, close the door and press on the start button.
  • the user is warned that the lid of the detergent dispenser is left open by the control unit with a sound or light.
  • Figure 1 - is the schematic view of a dishwasher.
  • the dishwasher (1) comprises a start button (2) providing to implement the washing programs with cycles of pre-wash, main wash, rinsing and having different parameters of temperature and duration, selected by the user or determined automatically, a tub (3) wherein the items to be washed are loaded, a door (4) providing access into the tub (3), a detergent dispenser (5) wherein the cleaning agent in liquid, gel, tablet or powder form is put for dispensing into the tub (3) and a control unit (7) that regulates the washing programs.
  • the dishwasher (1) comprises a sensor (8) that detects whether or not detergent is put in the detergent dispenser (5) and when the start button (2) is pressed if detergent is detected not to be present in the detergent dispenser (5) by the sensor (8), the control unit (7) provides the implementation of a short washing program, for example the pre-wash program stored in the memory and ends the washing program without starting the other washing cycles (main wash, rinsing, etc.).
  • the dishwasher (1) comprises a detergent dispenser lid (6) that opens allowing the water to reach the detergent during washing and delivers the detergent mixed with water to the tub (3) and a sensor (8) that functions as a switch, detecting whether or not the detergent dispenser lid (6) is closed by the user, sending different signals to the control unit (7) in cases of open and closed positions of the detergent dispenser lid (6) , and if the detergent dispenser lid (6) is detected to be left open when the start button (2) is pressed, provides a short washing program to be implemented by means of the control unit (7).
  • the sensor (8) sends a signal to the control unit (7), and the signal informing that the detergent dispenser lid (6) is not closed is evaluated as detergent is not present by the control unit (7) and provides the implementation of only a short washing program.
  • a simple and inexpensive solution is provided by utilizing a switch as the sensor (8) that sends an on-off signal when the detergent dispenser lid (6) is opened or closed.
  • control unit (7) warns the user by a sound and/or light about the detergent dispenser lid (6) being left open.
  • a short program is implemented, not the washing program including all the wash cycles, by pressing on the start button (2) as in normal washing, without the need for pressing any other buttons or making adjustments or changes of program, when a small quantity of dishes are added daily or for cleaning the spilled salt and rinsing aid from the tub (3) or the door (4) while filling into the dishwasher (1).
  • the user only has to leave the detergent dispenser lid (6) open, close the door (4) and press on the start button (2).
  • the sensor (8) sends a signal to the control unit (7) detecting that there isn't any detergent in the detergent dispenser (5) or that the detergent dispenser lid (6) is not closed and the short washing program is run. Since all the washing programs are not implemented for a short duration cleaning, energy is saved.
