Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dishwasher comprising a cleaning agent dispenser.
  • Dishwashers contain a washing chamber wherein dirty dishes are placed and a door that gives access into this chamber, opened generally downward by rotating in a horizontal axis. Inside the door, there is a cleaning agent dispenser for placing the chemicals necessary to perform the cleaning operation. During the washing process, when the washing water attains the adequate temperature, the cleaning agent dispenser opens and releases the chemicals into the washing water.
  • the cleaning agents are released into the washing water at the instant when the machine starts operating. Yet, in order to augment washing efficiency, it is preferred to release the cleaning agents into the washing water at a later stage, for instance, at the end of the pre-wash cycle. In the state of art, it's developed several applications to avoid this problem.
  • EP1723893 describes a dishwashing machine wherein the lid of the detergent dispenser closes by sliding. To enable the lid to open, springs are placed against it. The lid, while closing, presses against these springs. When the machine operates, another force applied from the opposite direction further tightens the springs through a mechanism electrically activated, and the springs in turn exert force over the lid, forcing it to open.
  • the dishwashing machine as defined in the United States patent application number US2004118434, comprises a wire with shape memory attached onto the lid of the detergent dispenser to enable the lid to open and close.
  • the wire is given an electric current that causes it to contract and pull the lid in the direction of opening.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a dishwasher wherein the cleaning agent dispenser improves the release of the cleaning agents.
  • the dishwasher realized in order to attain the aim of this invention is defined in the claims attached herewith.
  • the cleaning agent dispenser employed in the dishwasher that constitutes the aim of the present invention is produced with shape memory plastic at least partially, and this section, which is produced by shape memory plastic, which is in a shape being its first shape that enables the user, at room temperature, to place the cleaning agents into the reservoir and then close the lid.
  • washing water is in contact at least with the part of the cleaning agent dispenser, which is produced with shape memory material, and there is heat exchange between them. Therefore, any change in the temperature of the washing water engenders a change in the temperature of the cleaning agent dispenser, too.
  • the temperature at which shape memory plastic will change its shape is predetermined as the washing water temperature desired for releasing the cleaning agents into the water during the washing process.
  • the section of the detergent dispenser which is made up with shape memory plastic, changes its shape and takes the second shape that enables the cleaning agents mix into the washing water.
  • the lid of the cleaning agent dispenser is closed by means of a locking mechanism.
  • the cleaning agent dispenser is equipped with a trigger produced by shape memory plastic.
  • the trigger At room temperature, the trigger is not in any contact with the locking mechanism.
  • the trigger becomes warmer with the heat that it gets from the water. Hence, the trigger attains the temperature necessary to change its shape and takes its second shape, causing the locking mechanism to open the lid.
  • the cleaning agent dispenser in order to lock the lid, is equipped with a slot and a lug produced by shape memory material.
  • the shape of the lug maintains it inside the slot and keeps the lid in a closed position.
  • the lug changes its shape, which causes it to get out of the slot and let the lid open.
  • FIG. 1 - is the schematic view of the dishwasher.
  • Figure 2 - is the perspective view of the cleaning agent dispenser with lid in closed position in an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Figure 3 - is the perspective view of the cleaning agent dispenser before the washing process with open lid ready to be loaded with cleaning agents in an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Figure 4 - is the perspective view of the cleaning agent dispenser during the washing process with lid opened to release the cleaning agents in an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Figure 5 - is the sectional view of the cleaning agent dispenser with lid in closed position, in another embodiment of the present invention.
  • Figure 6 - is the sectional view of the cleaning agent dispenser during the washing process with lid opened to release the cleaning agents in another embodiment of the present invention..
  • the elements illustrated in the figures are numbered as follows:
  • the said dishwasher (1) comprises
  • the cleaning agent dispenser (4) comprises
  • the cleaning agent dispenser (4) is produced by a shape memory plastic that changes shape, at least partially, by increasing temperature so as to change shape during the washing process -when washing water attains the adequate temperature- letting the cleaning agents pass into the washing chamber (2).
  • the section which is produced by shape memory plastic, remains in its first shape until the temperature rises up to a certain temperature (T), and from then onwards takes the second shape.
  • T a certain temperature
  • the user opens the door (3) of the dishwasher (1) and places the dishes to be cleaned into the trays of the washing chamber (2); next the user puts the cleaning agents into the reservoir (5) and closes first the lid (6) and then the door (3).
  • the shape memory plastic section of the cleaning agent dispenser (4) is in its first shape.
  • the dishwasher (1) starts operating upon the user's command. During the washing process, the washing chamber (2) is in contact with the shape memory plastic section of the cleaning agent dispenser (4).
  • the temperature of the shape memory plastic section of the cleaning agent dispenser (4) As the temperature of the water inside the machine rises, the temperature of the shape memory plastic section of the cleaning agent dispenser (4) also rises. When water attains the temperature (T) adequate for the shape memory plastic section to change shape, the shape memory plastic section of the cleaning agent dispenser (4), heated with the temperature rise of the water, takes its second shape. Hence, the cleaning agents pour out of the reservoir (5) and mix with the water.
  • the cleaning agent dispenser (4) is equipped with a locking mechanism (7), which locks the lid (6).
  • the cleaning agent dispenser (4) also has a trigger (8), which is produced with shape memory plastic.
  • the trigger (8) in its first shape at room temperature, is not in any contact with the locking mechanism (7) and does not obstruct the lid (6) to close ( Figure 3).
  • T the adequate temperature
  • it takes its second shape and that triggers the locking mechanism (7) and enables the lid (6) to open ( Figure 4).
  • the locking mechanism (7) is equipped with a slot (9) and a lug (10) produced by shape memory plastic. At its first shape, the lug (10) sits inside the slot (9) and keeps the lid (6) in a closed position ( Figure 5). But in its second shape that it takes during the washing process, when water attains the adequate temperature (T), it comes out of the slot (9) and enables the lid (6) to open ( Figure 6).
  • the dishwasher (1) realized with the present invention that comprises the cleaning agent dispenser (4) employed opens automatically due to a shape change of its shape memory section when the washing water attains the temperature required for releasing the cleaning agents into the water.
  • this invention there is no more any necessity for extra mechanisms to determine water temperature or control the opening of the cleaning agent dispenser (4) lid (6); it is the realization of a dishwasher (1) comprising a cleaning agent dispenser having a low-priced and simple production.
