Definitions
- the present invention a water-conducting household appliance according to the preamble of claim 1.
- water switches are used to control liquid flows in water-bearing household appliance.
- water softeners serve to deliver washing or rinsing water, for example, to a first or a second rinsing chamber of two rinsing chambers.
- water softeners serve to deliver rinsing water, also called rinsing liquors, for example, alternatively to a spray arm for an upper basket or to a spray arm for a lower basket of the respective dishwasher or at the same time to both spray arms.
- a rotatable spool valve is provided in a cylindrical housing, which connects by means of a pivot tube an inlet channel with one of a plurality of drainage channels.
- the swivel tube in this case has a pivot pin, which is arranged in the manner of a ball joint in a joint socket of the inlet channel.
- a hollow cylindrical sealing member is fixed, which slides in a cylindrical concentric with the lateral surface of the housing extending guide.
- the prior art mechanical sealing device of this type is not suitable for sealing through-holes passing through a flat rotary disk with respect to fluid discharge lines facing this flat rotary disk.
- this known water switch an undesirable pressure loss in the water flow to be distributed by the deflection by means of the pivot tube occur.
- Another known water separator (DE 101 33 130 A1) consists of a in the pressure chamber of a circulating pump before branching pressure port arranged rotary valve for locking and releasing the discharge nozzle for rinsing liquid and located outside and within the pressure chamber drive for the rotary valve.
- the rotary valve in question is formed by a cylindrical member, in the cylinder wall, there are one or more apertures between one and more movable closure elements with valve function.
- the aperture openings and the closure elements are in their relative position with respect to the discharge nozzle, the Wasserzu- run- or water discharge nozzle formed so that depending on the rotation of the rotary valve, the cylinder wall opposite pressure ports are released or sealed off.
- this known sealing device is also suitable only for the sealing of openings provided in a cylinder wall.
- the prior art mechanical sealing device of this type is not suitable for sealing through-holes passing through a flat rotary disk with respect to fluid discharge lines facing this flat rotary disk.
- an unwanted pressure loss occurs in the water flow to be distributed by its deflection in the mentioned rotary valve even in this known water switch.
- the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a water-conducting household appliance, in particular a dishwasher or washing machine to provide with a water diverter with reduced pressure loss.

- the fluid distributor body can be designed as an adjustable, in particular displaceable plate, for example, has a rectangular basic shape.
- the fluid distributor body is designed as a hub.
- the water flow direction is defined in and out of the through-openings in each case in a substantially axial direction of the rotary disk.
- the present invention provides a possibility in a relatively simple manner for forming the respective passage openings in the turntable as venturi openings in such a way that the pressure of the transitional area between the guide plates Outlet side of the respective passage opening and the inlet region in the respective Wasserabriosweg flowing water is lower than the pressure in the respective transition region surrounding surrounding area. This means that can be done in the said transition area without additional mechanical sealing devices.
- an extension part which adjoins the peripheral area of the turntable and is connected to the water supply path.
- the above-mentioned extension part is designed to extend oval in the region of the circumferential direction of the turntable. This results in the advantage of a particularly simple design possibility for the passage openings in said hub.
- the through holes in the turntable based on the Wasserzu Georgiaweg and the WasserabGermanwege each laid and shaped Einstocked Kunststoffe that in different rotational positions of the hub each have a fixed number of Wasserab adoptedwege connected to the Wasserzu Switzerlandweg for water passage is.
- the water diverter according to the present invention is contained in a household appliance, in particular in a dishwasher.
- a household appliance thus comprises the advantages that have been pointed out above with regard to the water diverter according to the invention.
