The dishwasher (1) has a washing container (2) that is sealed on a front side via a device door (3), which is pivotable about a horizontal axis at a base-sided section. A lamp (6) illuminates the container and/or an antechamber. A control unit switches on or off the lamp based on a closed condition of the door. The control unit has a switching element (7) that is actuated via a cable for compensating door weight. The cable is arranged on the door such that pivoting of the door causes a pivoting movement of a section of the cable.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Geschirrspülmaschine mit einem Spülbehälter, welcher auf seiner Frontseite durch eine an ihrem bodenseitigen Abschnitt um eine horizontal verlaufende Achse schwenkbare Gerätetür verschließbar ist, mit einer Einrichtung zur Beleuchtung des Spülbehälters und/oder des Spülbehältervorraums, und mit einer Steuereinrichtung zum Ein- und/oder Ausschalten der Beleuchtungseinrichtung in Abhängigkeit von einem Schließzustand der Tür.The invention relates to a dishwasher with a rinsing container which can be closed on its front side by a device door pivotable about a horizontally extending axis at its bottom side, with a device for illuminating the rinsing container and / or Spülbehältervorraums, and with a control device for on and / or switching off the lighting device as a function of a closed state of the door.

Geschirrspüler mit einer Einrichtung zur Beleuchtung des Spülbehälters und/oder des Spülbehältervorraums sind aus dem Stand der Technik hinreichend bekannt. Durch diese Maßnahme soll das Be- und Entladen von Geschirr vereinfacht werden. Zur Senkung des Energieverbrauchs ist es bekannt, die Beleuchtungseinrichtung nur bei geöffneter Tür einzuschalten. Hierzu werden Steuervorrichtungen verwendet, welche von der Tür betätigte Mikroschalter beinhalten, siehe beispielsweise DE 102 56 171 A1 . Außerdem sind Näherungsschalter wie z. B. Hallsensoren bekannt, welche von einer fast geschlossenen Metalltür betätigt werden. Diese Schalter besitzen den Nachteil, dass sie nur durch eine vollständig oder wenigstens fast vollständig geschlossene Tür betätigt werden. Wird die Tür der Geschirrspülmaschine spaltweise geöffnet, wie es beispielsweise zur Unterstützung der Trocknung am Programmende üblich ist, wird die Beleuchtungseinrichtung über einen langen Zeitraum eingeschaltet. Dies führt zu einem erhöhten Energieverbrauch.Dishwashers with a device for illuminating the washing container and / or Spülbehältervorraums are well known from the prior art. By this measure, the loading and unloading of dishes should be simplified. To reduce energy consumption, it is known to turn on the lighting device only when the door is open. For this purpose, control devices are used which include micro-switches operated by the door, see for example DE 102 56 171 A1 , In addition, proximity switches such. B. Hall sensors known which are actuated by an almost closed metal door. These switches have the disadvantage that they are operated only by a completely or at least almost completely closed door. If the door of the dishwasher open in columns, as is customary, for example, to support the drying at the end of the program, the lighting device is turned on for a long period. This leads to increased energy consumption.

Der Erfindung stellt sich somit das Problem, eine Geschirrspülmaschine mit einer Einrichtung zur Beleuchtung des Spülbehälters zu offenbaren, bei welcher die Beleuchtung auch bei spaltweise geöffneter Tür ausgeschaltet bleibt.The invention thus raises the problem of disclosing a dishwasher with a device for illuminating the washing container, in which the lighting remains switched off even when the door is opened in columns.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem durch eine Geschirrspülmaschine mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden Unteransprüchen.According to the invention, this problem is solved by a dishwasher having the features of patent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention will become apparent from the following subclaims.

Die mit der Erfindung erreichbaren Vorteile ergeben sich daraus, dass die Steuereinrichtung ein Schaltelement umfasst, welches von einem an der Tür angeordneten Seilzug zum Ausgleich des Türgewichts betätigt wird. Hierdurch können einerseits bereits vorhandene Konstruktionselemente benutzt werden. Andererseits ist eine Einschaltung der Beleuchtung erst mit Erreichen eines bestimmten Türöffnungswinkels auf einfache Weise realisierbar.The achievable with the invention advantages result from the fact that the control device comprises a switching element which is actuated by a cable arranged on the door to balance the weight of the door. As a result, on the one hand already existing construction elements can be used. On the other hand, switching on the lighting can only be achieved in a simple manner when a certain door opening angle has been reached.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist der Seilzug derart an der Tür angeordnet, dass deren Schwenken eine Schwenkbewegung wenigstens eines Abschnitts des Seilzugs verursacht, welche zur Betätigung des Schaltelements ausreicht. Dies führt zu einer Entkopplung von Seilzug und Schaltelement. Dabei ist es zweckmäßig, wenn der Seilzug auf einen federnd gelagerten Kolben wirkt, dessen Einschub die Aktivierung eines Mikroschalters auslöst.In an advantageous embodiment, the cable is arranged on the door such that its pivoting a pivotal movement of at least a portion of the cable caused, which is sufficient for the actuation of the switching element. This leads to a decoupling of cable and switching element. It is expedient if the cable acts on a spring-mounted piston whose insert triggers the activation of a microswitch.

Es ist außerdem vorteilhaft, wenn die Beleuchtungseinrichtung eingeschaltet wird, wenn der Öffnungswinkel der Tür mehr als ca. 10° beträgt. Hierdurch ist zunächst zur Trocknungsunterstützung ein ausreichender Luftaustausch durch die spaltgeöffnete Tür möglich, ohne dass die Beleuchtung eingeschaltet wird.It is also advantageous if the lighting device is turned on when the opening angle of the door is more than about 10 °. As a result, sufficient air exchange through the gap-opened door is initially possible for drying support without the lighting being switched on.

Figur 1 zeigt eine an sich bekannte Geschirrspülmaschine 1 mit einem Spülbehälter 2, der an seiner Frontseite durch eine schwenkbar gelagerte Tür 3 verschließbar ist. Der Türverschluss besitzt einen aus der DE 10 2005 028 449 A1 bekannten, motorisch verfahrbaren Schließkloben 4, der in der Figur nur andeutungsweise dargestellt ist. Hierdurch kann die Tür 3 auch im verriegelten Zustand von der Programmsteuerung 5 selbsttätig spaltweise geöffnet werden. Die Geschirrspülmaschine 1 besitzt weiterhin eine Lampe 6 zur Beleuchtung des Spülbehälters 2 und/oder des Spülbehältervorraums. Um das Ein- und/oder Ausschalten der Lampe 6 in Abhängigkeit vom Schließzustand der Tür 3 zu ermöglichen, ist ein Schaltelement 7 vorgesehen, dessen Aufbau und Funktionen im Folgenden erklärt sind. FIG. 1 shows a known dishwashing machine 1 with a washing container 2, which is closable on its front side by a pivotally mounted door 3. The door lock has one from the DE 10 2005 028 449 A1 known, motorized locking cam 4, which is shown only hinted in the figure. As a result, the door 3 can be automatically opened in the locked state by the program control 5 in columns. The dishwasher 1 further has a lamp 6 for illuminating the washing container 2 and / or the Spülbehältervorraums. In order to enable the switching on and / or off of the lamp 6 as a function of the closing state of the door 3, a switching element 7 is provided whose structure and functions are explained below.

Die Tür 3 besitzt an ihrem unteren Ende ein Winkelstück 8 mit einem Arm 9, der senkrecht aus der Türebene ins Geräteinnere hineinragt. In eine Ausnehmung (nicht sichtbar) am Ende des Arms 9 ist mittels einer Öse 10 ein Seilzug 11 eingehängt. Der Seilzug 11 wird über zwei Rollen 12 und 13 umgelenkt und ist mit seinem anderen Ende 14 mit einer Zugfeder 15 (siehe Figuren 3a bis d) verbunden. Die gesamte Vorrichtung dient zum Ausgleich des Gewichts einer nicht dargestellten Vorsatzplatte, welche die Vorderseite der Tür 3 verkleidet und diese an andere Möbelfronten in einer Küche anpasst. Die Befestigung der Zugfeder 15 und der Umlenkrollen 12 und 13 am Gehäuse der Geschirrspülmaschine 1 ist beispielsweise aus der DE 10 2004 023 509 A1 bekannt und deswegen hier weder dargestellt noch beschrieben. In den Figuren 3a bis d ist lediglich erkennbar, dass die obere Umlenkrolle 13 an dem senkrechten Schenkel 16 einer Stütze 17 gelagert ist, deren waagerechter Schenkel 18 zur schwenkbaren Lagerung der Tür 3 dient. An dem Schenkel 16 ist außerdem ein Halteblech 19 befestigt, welches einen Mikroschalter 20 und einen Aktor trägt 21, siehe auch Figur 2. Der Aktor 21 umfasst einen Stempel 22, einen Rollenhalter 23 und eine Andruckrolle 24. Das bolzenartige Ende 221 des Stempels ist von einer Feder 222 umgeben und wird längsverschiebbar vom Rollenhalter 23 aufgenommen. Hierdurch kann der Rollenhalter 23 gegen die Kraft der Feder 222 in Richtung des Doppelpfeils bewegt werden. Die dem Mikroschalter 20 zugewandte Seite des Rollenhalters 23 besitzt eine Schaltschräge 231, mit welcher der Schaltstößel 201 des Mikroschalters 20 betätigt werden kann.The door 3 has at its lower end an elbow 8 with an arm 9, which protrudes perpendicularly from the door level into the device interior. In a recess (not visible) at the end of the arm 9 a cable 11 is mounted by means of an eyelet 10. The cable 11 is deflected by two rollers 12 and 13 and is with its other end 14 with a tension spring 15 (see FIGS. 3a to d ) connected. The entire device is used to compensate for the weight of an attachment plate, not shown, which disguises the front of the door 3 and adapts it to other furniture fronts in a kitchen. The attachment of the tension spring 15 and the pulleys 12 and 13 on the housing of the dishwasher 1 is for example from the DE 10 2004 023 509 A1 known and therefore neither shown nor described here. In the FIGS. 3a to d is only seen that the upper guide roller 13 is mounted on the vertical leg 16 of a support 17, the horizontal leg 18 for pivotally mounting the door 3 is used. On the leg 16, a holding plate 19 is also attached, which carries a micro-switch 20 and an actuator 21, see also FIG. 2 , The actuator 21 comprises a punch 22, a roll holder 23 and a pressure roller 24. The bolt-like end 221 of the punch is surrounded by a spring 222 and is longitudinally displaceable received by the roll holder 23. In this way, the roller holder 23 can be moved against the force of the spring 222 in the direction of the double arrow. The microswitch 20 facing side of the roller holder 23 has a Schaltschräge 231, with which the switching plunger 201 of the microswitch 20 can be actuated.

Die Figuren 3a bis d zeigen den Bewegungsablauf beim Öffnen der Tür 3. Bei geschlossener Tür 3 (Figur 3a) erstreckt sich der Arm 9 waagerecht, d. h. parallel zur Aufstellebene der Geschirrspülmaschine 1, das türseitige Ende des Seilzugs 11 schließt mit der gedachten Parallele der Aufstellebene durch die Umlenkrolle 13 einen Winkel von ca. 30° ein. Die Andruckrolle 24 liegt auf dem Seilzug 11 auf, dabei befinden sich Rolle 24 und Rollenhalter 23 in einer unteren Position, in der die Schaltschräge 231 noch vom Schaltstößel 201 entfernt ist. Figur 3b zeigt die Tür in einem um ca. 10°geöffneten Zustand. Dieser Öffnungswinkel kann manuell vom Benutzer, aber auch automatisch von der aus der DE 10 2005 028 449 A1 bekannten Öffnungseinrichtung erzeugt werden. Der Arm 9, der die Schwenkbewegung der Tür 3 mitmacht, zieht den Seilzug 11 nach oben, so dass dieser um ca. 15° im Gegenuhrzeigersinn geschwenkt wird. Dabei hebt der Seilzug 11 die Andruckrolle 24 samt Rollenhalter 23 an, so dass die Schaltschräge 231 bis kurz vor den Schaltstößel 201 bewegt wird. Die Spülbehälterbeleuchtung (Lampe 6) ist demzufolge in dieser Position noch nicht eingeschaltet. Bei einer weiteren Öffnung der Tür 3 (Figur 3c) wird der Seilzug 11 nochmals um 10° im Gegenuhrzeigersinn geschwenkt. Hierdurch wird die Andruckrolle 24 noch mehr angehoben und die Schaltschräge 231 drückt den Schaltstößel 201 nach innen. Der Mikroschalter 20 gibt den ausgelösten Schaltbefehl an die Programmsteuerung 5 weiter, welche nun die Lampe 6 einschaltet. Alternativ kann die Lampe 6 direkt durch den Mikroschalter 20 eingeschaltet werden. In Figur 3d ist erkennbar, dass der Schaltstößel 201 auch bei vollständig geöffneter Tür 3 nach innen gedrückt ist und somit die Spülbehälterbeleuchtung (Lampe 6) eingeschaltet bleibt.The FIGS. 3a to d show the movement sequence when opening the door 3. With the door closed 3 ( FIG. 3a ), the arm 9 extends horizontally, ie parallel to the mounting plane of the dishwasher 1, the door-side end of the cable 11 includes with the imaginary parallel of the mounting plane through the guide roller 13 an angle of about 30 °. The pinch roller 24 rests on the cable 11, while there are roller 24 and roller holder 23 in a lower position in which the shift bevel 231 is still removed from the switch plunger 201. FIG. 3b shows the door in a state opened by approx. 10 °. This opening angle can be adjusted manually by the user, but also automatically by the user DE 10 2005 028 449 A1 known opening device are generated. The arm 9, which participates in the pivoting movement of the door 3, pulls the cable 11 upwards, so that it is pivoted about 15 ° in the counterclockwise direction. In this case, the cable pull 11 lifts the pressure roller 24 together with the roller holder 23, so that the shift bevel 231 is moved to just before the switch tappet 201. The Spülbehälterbeleuchtung (Lamp 6) is therefore not yet turned on in this position. In a further opening of the door 3 ( Figure 3c ), the cable 11 is again pivoted by 10 ° in the counterclockwise direction. As a result, the pressure roller 24 is lifted even more and the shift bevel 231 pushes the switch plunger 201 inwards. The microswitch 20 forwards the triggered switching command to the program control 5, which now turns on the lamp 6. Alternatively, the lamp 6 can be turned on directly by the microswitch 20. In 3d figure It can be seen that the switching plunger 201 is pressed inwards even when the door 3 is completely open and thus the washing compartment lighting (lamp 6) remains switched on.
