Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Haushaltsgerät, insbesondere einen Geschirrspüler.The invention relates to a household appliance, in particular a dishwasher.
Geschirrspüler werden typischerweise in mehreren Prozessphasen betrieben. Zumindest in der Prozessphase "Trocknen", in der das Spülgut nach seiner Reinigung getrocknet wird, nimmt die Luft im Spülbehälter - auch Bottich genannt - die infolge der Reinigungsphase vorhandene Feuchtigkeit auf. Diese feuchte Luft ist nachfolgend abzuführen und zu dehydrieren.Dishwashers are typically operated in several process phases. At least in the process phase "drying", in which the items to be washed are dried after being cleaned, the air in the washing container - also called a tub - absorbs the moisture present as a result of the cleaning phase. This moist air must be subsequently removed and dehydrated.
Zum Dehydrieren von feuchter Luft in einem Geschirrspüler kommen unter anderem Sorptionstrocknungsvorrichtungen zum Einsatz. Diese Sorptionstrocknungsvorrichtungen enthalten ein reversibel dehydrierendes Material, beispielsweise in Form eines Zeoliths, durch das die zu trocknende Luft geführt wird. Zeolithe sind typischerweise Alumosilikate mit der Eigenschaft, unter anderem Wasser adsorbieren zu können. Bei ihrer Anwendung in Geschirrspülern wird ein mit Zeolith befüllter Adsorberbereich in einem Luftstrom von zu trocknender Luft angeordnet. Durch das Durchströmen des Zeoliths wird die zugeführte feuchte Luft getrocknet und in trockenem Zustand wiederum abgegeben.For dehydrating humid air in a dishwasher, sorption drying devices are used, among other things. These sorption drying devices contain a reversibly dehydrating material, for example in the form of a zeolite, through which the air to be dried is passed. Zeolites are typically aluminosilicates with the property of being able to adsorb, inter alia, water. When used in dishwashers, a zeolite-filled adsorbent section is placed in a stream of air to be dried. By flowing through the zeolite, the supplied moist air is dried and discharged again in a dry state.
Um den Anforderungen in einem Geschirrspüler gerecht zu werden, ist eine bestimmte Mindestmenge an dehydrierendem Material vorzusehen, um eine ausreichende Menge an Feuchte der zugeführten Luft entnehmen zu können. Dieses dehydrierende Material ist typischerweise quaderförmig geschüttet. Ein solcher quaderförmiger Adsorberbereich beansprucht allerdings einen relativ grossen Bauraum. Dieser Bauraum mag in herkömmlichen Geschirrspülern nicht zur Verfügung stehen.In order to meet the requirements of a dishwasher, a certain minimum amount of dehydrating material must be provided in order to be able to remove a sufficient amount of moisture from the supplied air. This dehydrating material is typically poured cuboid. Such a cuboid Adsorberbereich However, claims a relatively large amount of space. This space may not be available in conventional dishwashers.
Ein Haushaltsgerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 ist aus
Hieraus ergibt sich das Bedürfnis nach einem Haushaltsgerät mit einer Adsorberkammer, die in ihrer Geometrie den beengten Platzverhältnissen im Geschirrspüler gerecht wird und dennoch ein ausreichendes Dehydrieren der zugeführten Luft bewirken kann.This results in the need for a household appliance with an adsorber, the geometry of the cramped space in the dishwasher is fair and yet can cause sufficient dehydration of the supplied air.
Dieser Zielsetzung wird durch ein Haushaltsgerät mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 entsprochen.This object is met by a household appliance with the features of
Dabei ist der Adsorberbereich in mehrere Adsorberabschnitte unterteilt. Jeder Adsorberabschnitt enthält jeweils eine Eintrittsfläche für den Eintritt von Prozessluft und eine Austrittsfläche für den Austritt von Prozessluft. Eintrittskanäle zum Zuführen der Prozessluft grenzen an jeweils mindestens eine der Eintrittsflächen. Austrittskanäle zum Abführen der getrockneten Prozessluft grenzen jeweils an mindestens eine der Austrittsflächen. Jeder der Kanäle ist nur einseitig offen derart, dass die Prozessluft von den Eintrittskanälen in die Adsorberabschnitte und von den Adsorberabschnitten in die Austrittskanäle gezwungen wird.The adsorber region is subdivided into several adsorber sections. Each adsorber section in each case contains an entry surface for the entry of process air and an exit surface for the exit of process air. Entry channels for supplying the process air border on at least one of the entry surfaces. Outlet passages for discharging the dried process air each adjoin at least one of the exit surfaces. Each of the channels is only open on one side such that the process air is forced from the inlet channels into the adsorber sections and from the adsorber sections into the outlet channels.
In der Adsorberkammer werden der zugeführten Luft also mehrere Strömungspfade durch das Adsorbermaterial angeboten. Dabei wird die zugeführte Luft in mehrere, voneinander getrennte Eintrittskanäle geleitet. Aus jedem Eintrittskanal durchströmt die zugeführte Luft einen oder mehrere zugeordnete Adsorberbereiche nach dem Prinzip des geringsten Strömungswiderstandes und tritt nach dem Durchströmen dieses/dieser Adsorberabschnitte in den/die zugeordneten Austrittskanäle aus. Die Austrittskanäle sind ebenfalls voneinander getrennt. Insofern wird durch das Vorsehen von mehreren Eintritts- und Austrittskanälen und dazwischen liegenden Adsorberabschnitten die Voraussetzung dafür geschaffen, die Adsorberkammer in ihrer Geometrie variabel zu gestalten und den Einbaugegebenheiten anzupassen. Dennoch ist sichergestellt, dass eine erforderliche Menge von dehydrierendem Material bereitgestellt und gleichmässig durchströmt wird, wodurch die erwünschte dehydrierende Wirkung bezüglich des zugeführten Luftvolumens erreicht wird. Infolge einer solchen auf mehreren Strömungspfaden durch das Adsorbermaterial beruhenden Ausgestaltung der Adsorberkammer mag die Adsorberkammer in ihrer Geometrie äusserst flexibel gestaltet sein und an die Platzverhältnisse in einem Geschirrspüler angepasst werden. Dabei mag sogar andernfalls nicht zugänglicher zusätzlicher Raum im Geschirrspüler für die Adsorberkammer genutzt werden und dadurch die eingesetzte Menge des dehydrierbaren Materials erhöht werden.In the adsorber chamber, the air supplied is thus offered a plurality of flow paths through the adsorber material. The supplied air is directed into several, separate inlet channels. From each inlet channel, the supplied air flows through one or more associated adsorber regions according to the principle of the lowest flow resistance and, after flowing through this / these adsorber sections, exits into the associated outlet channel (s). The exit channels are also separated. In that sense will provided by the provision of multiple inlet and outlet channels and intermediate adsorber the condition for making the adsorber variable in geometry and adapt the installation conditions. Nevertheless, it is ensured that a required amount of dehydrating material is provided and flowed through uniformly, whereby the desired dehydrating effect with respect to the supplied volume of air is achieved. As a result of such based on several flow paths through the adsorbent material embodiment of the adsorber, the adsorber chamber may be designed extremely flexible in geometry and adapted to the space in a dishwasher. In this case, even otherwise inaccessible additional space may be used in the dishwasher for the adsorber and thus the amount of dehydrogenatable material used can be increased.
Durch die angegebene Form der Adsorberabschnitte und die Abkehr von quaderförmigen Adsorberbereichen kann gleichfalls eine äusserst flache Adsorberkammer geschaffen werden, die beispielsweise gut zwischen Bottich und Gerätewand vertikal verbaut werden kann.By the specified shape of the adsorber and the departure of cuboid Adsorberbereichen an extremely flat adsorber can also be created, which can be installed vertically, for example, well between the tub and the device wall.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung betreffen die geometrische Anordnung der Adsorberabschnitte, oder auch die Luftstromlenkung durch die Adsorberabschnitte im Allgemeinen. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind durch die Merkmale der abhängigen Ansprüche gekennzeichnet, einzeln für sich, oder in Kombination mit Merkmalen anderer abhängiger Ansprüche.Advantageous developments of the invention relate to the geometric arrangement of the adsorber sections, or else the air flow control through the adsorber sections in general. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are characterized by the features of the dependent claims, individually per se, or in combination with features of other dependent claims.

Wie durch die Pfeile angedeutet, strömt die Prozessluft 8 - unterstützt durch einen Lüfter wie in
Jeder Adsorberabschnitt 531 - 534 weist nun je eine Eintrittsfläche 5311, 5321, 5331, 5341 auf, an der ein zugeordneter Eintrittskanal 541, 542, 543 auf den Adsorberabschnitt 531 - 534 trifft. Diese Eintrittsflächen 5311, 5321, 5331, 5341 bilden den Eintrittspunkt für die Prozessluft 8 in den Adsorberbereich 53. Die Adsorberabschnitte 531 - 534 sind lateral, d.h. an ihren Eintrittsflächen 5311, 5321, 5331, 5341 durch Einfassungen begrenzt, die zum einen ein Durchtreten der Prozessluft ohne grösseren Strömungswiderstand erlauben, andererseits aber auch das dehydrierende Material 51 halten können.Each adsorber section 531-534 now has an
Die Prozessluft tritt also über die Eintrittsflächen 5311, 5321, 5331, 5341 in die Adsorberabschnitte 531 - 534 ein, durchströmt diese, und wird dabei dehydriert. Das dehydrierbare Material 51 ist vorzugsweise ein Zeolith und kann Feuchte und insbesondere Wasserdampf aufnehmen und speichern. Der Prozess des Dehydrierens hat die Abgabe von Wärme zur Folge, so dass die dehydrierte Prozessluft erwärmt gegenüber der dem Adsorber zugeführten Prozessluft ist.The process air therefore enters the adsorber sections 531-534 via the inlet surfaces 5311, 5321, 5331, 5341, flows through them, and is thereby dehydrated. The
Jeder Adsorberabschnitt 531 - 534 verfügt auch über je eine Austrittsfläche 5312, 5322, 5332 und 5342. Vorgegeben durch die Strömungsrichtung tritt die Prozessluft 8 aus dem Adsorberbereich 53 durch diese Austrittsflächen 5312, 5322, 5332 und 5342 aus und wird durch sich anschliessende Austrittskanäle 544 und 545 weitergeführt. Der Strömungspfad durch die einzelnen Adsorberabschnitte 531 - 534 ist durch die Pfeile 8 gekennzeichnet.Each adsorber section 531-534 also has an
Insofern zeigt dieses Ausführungsbeispiel einen Adsorberbereich 53 mit nebeneinander liegenden, nicht parallelen Adsorberabschnitten 531 - 534, die an ihren Enden ineinander übergehen, so dass der Adsorberbereich 53 durch ein durchgehendes, mit dehydrierbarem Material 51 gefülltes Adsorberband gebildet wird. Andere geometrische Ausrichtungen der Adsorberabschnitte sind vorstellbar, insbesondere mäanderförmig aneinandergereihte Adsorberabschnitte, die ähnlich der vorliegenden W-Form eine möglichst grosse Eintrittsfläche für die zugeführte Prozessluft aufweisen.In this respect, this embodiment shows an
Die einzelnen Adsorberabschnitte 531 - 534 haben vorzugsweise eine Länge l - eingezeichnet beispielsweise für den Adsorberabschnitt 532 in
Im Allgemeinen kann eine grosse Eintrittsfläche für die Prozessluft 8 dadurch erreicht werden, dass ein längs ausgedehntes Adsorberband hin und her "gefaltet" wird. D.h., vorzugsweise in gleichbleibenden Abständen wird das Adsorberband um einen Winkel vorzugsweise zwischen 135° und 180° geknickt. Eine solche Struktur kann dann wie vorliegend in den Strömungskanal eingebracht werden und die Adsorberkammer 53 bilden.In general, a large entrance surface for the
Das vorliegende Ausführungsbeispiel zeichnet sich auch dadurch aus, dass den beiden Ausgangskanälen 544 und 545 jeweils die Austrittsflächen zweier Adsorberabschnitte 531 - 534 zugeordnet sind. Der Austrittskanal 544 wird also von durch die Austrittsflächen 5312 und 5322 tretende Prozessluft 8 bedient, der Austrittskanal 545 dagegen von durch die Austrittsflächen 5332 und 5342 tretende Prozessluft 8.The present exemplary embodiment is also characterized in that the outlet surfaces of two adsorber sections 531-534 are assigned to the two
In ähnlicher Weise bedient sich der Eingangskanal 542 zweier Eintrittsflächen, nämlich der Eintrittsflächen 5321 und 5331, wohingegen die beiden äusseren Eintrittskanäle 541 und 543 nur mit jeweils einer Eintrittsfläche, eben der Eintrittsfläche 5311 beziehungsweise der Eintrittsfläche 5431 wirkverbunden sind.Similarly, the
Im Allgemeinen kann die Zuordnung von einem Kanal zu zwei Adsorberabschnitten vorteilhaft sein hinsichtlich der raumsparenden Anordnung der Adsorberabschnitte wie auch der Ausbildung einer grösstmöglichen Eintrittsfläche. Andererseits mag es auch vorteilhafte Geometrien geben, bei denen ein Kanal grundsätzlich nur einer Eintritts- oder Austrittsfläche zugeordnet ist. Folgende vorteilhaften Weiterbildungen sind also anzuführen: Ein Eintrittskanal grenzt nur an die Eintrittsfläche eines einzigen Adsorberelements an. Alle Eintrittskanäle grenzen jeweils nur an die Eintrittsfläche eines einzigen, zugeordneten Adsorberelements an. Zumindest einer der Eintrittskanäle grenzt an Eintrittsflächen von zwei Adsorberelementen an. Ein Austrittskanal grenzt nur an die Austrittsfläche eines einzigen Adsorberelements an. Alle Austrittskanäle grenzen jeweils nur an die Austrittsfläche eines einzigen Adsorberelements an. Zumindest einer der Austrittskanäle grenzt an Austrittsflächen von zwei Adsorberelementen an.In general, the assignment of one channel to two adsorber sections can be advantageous with regard to the space-saving arrangement of the adsorber sections as well as the formation of the largest possible entrance surface. On the other hand, there may also be advantageous geometries in which a channel is basically associated with only one entrance or exit surface. The following advantageous developments are thus to be cited: An inlet channel adjoins only the inlet surface of a single adsorber element. All inlet channels each adjoin only the entry surface of a single, associated adsorber element. At least one of the entry channels adjoins entry surfaces of two Adsorberelementen on. An exit channel adjoins only the exit surface of a single adsorber element. All outlet channels each adjoin only the exit surface of a single adsorber element. At least one of the exit channels adjoins exit surfaces of two adsorber elements.
Die Struktur dieser Adsorberkammer folgt also dem Muster, dass benachbarte Adsorberabschnitte abwechselnd an ihrem luftzufuhrseitigem Ende und an ihrem luftabfuhrseitigem Ende durch Leitwände miteinander verbunden sind im Sinne einer Kanalbildung, welche Kanäle nur einseitig offen sind und damit die Prozessluft durch den Adsorberbereich zwingen.The structure of this Adsorberkammer thus follows the pattern that adjacent adsorber sections are alternately connected at their luftzufuhrseitigem end and at its luftabfuhrseitigem end by baffles in the sense of channeling, which channels are open only on one side and thus force the process air through the adsorber.
Generell kann herausgestellt werden, dass die Eintrittskanäle getrennt voneinander ausgebildet sind, d.h. einmal in einem Eintrittskanal befindliche Prozessluft kann diesen Eintrittskanal gewöhnlich nicht mehr verlassen und insbesondere nicht in andere Eintrittskanäle übertreten, sondern wird zum Durchströmen in den oder die zugeorneten Adsorberabschnitte gezwungen. Adsorberabschnitte sind gewöhnlich einem oder mehreren Eintrittskanälen und Austrittskanälen zugeordnet, so dass ein Adsorberabschnitt auch als derjenige Bereich der Adsorberkammer angesehen werden kann, der von der Prozessluft aus dem zugeordneten Eintrittskanal durchströmt wird nach dem Prinzip des geringsten Strömungswiderstandes. Insofern können Adsorberabschnitte auch "nahtlos" miteinander verbunden sein und einen gemeinsamen Adsorberbereich bilden.In general, it can be pointed out that the inlet channels are formed separately from each other, i. Once located in an inlet duct process air can not leave this inlet channel usually and in particular not pass into other inlet channels, but is forced to flow into the one or the zugeorneten adsorber. Adsorberabschnitte are usually associated with one or more inlet channels and outlet channels, so that an adsorber can also be regarded as that portion of the adsorber, which is traversed by the process air from the associated inlet channel according to the principle of least flow resistance. In this respect, adsorber sections can also be "seamlessly" connected to one another and form a common adsorber area.
In allen Ausführungsbeispielen nach den
In allen Ausführungsbeispielen nach den
Bei Anordnungen, bei denen der Adsorberbereich nicht nur rein vertikal im Haushaltsgerät ausgerichtete Adsorberabschnitte aufweist sondern der Adsorberbereich beispielsweise schräg oder horizontal ausgerichtete Adsorberabschnitte aufweist, und insbesondere etwa mäanderförmig oder W-förmig ausgestaltet ist, können das/die Heizelemente derart in den jeweiligen Adsorberabschnitten angeordnet werden, dass ihr Abstand zu den Austrittsflächen grösser ist als zu den Eintrittsflächen. Dabei wird Gebrauch gemacht von der Tatsache, dass erwärmte Luft nach oben aufsteigt. Bei einer solchen gegenüber einer mittigen Anordnung versetzten Anordnung kann die durch das Heizelement erzeugte Warmluft bei ihrem Aufsteigen noch einen grossen Bereich von Adsorbermaterial durchsetzen und damit dehydrieren. Eine solche versetzte Anordnung der Heizelemente ist beispielweise aus dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäss
Das Austreiben / Desorbieren / Regenerieren der Feuchte durch Erhitzen der Heizelemente wird vorzugsweise während einer Prozessphase durchgeführt, in der feuchte und warme Luft im Spülbehälter unterstützend wirken kann, beispielsweise während des Reinigens von Spülgut. Während des Desorbierens muss der Lüfter nicht notwendigerweise in Betrieb sein. Alternativ kann der Lüfter während des Desorbierens im Pulsbetrieb und/oder auch in Umkehrrichtung betrieben werden.The expulsion / desorption / regeneration of the moisture by heating the heating elements is preferably carried out during a process phase in which moist and warm air in the washing container can have a supporting effect, for example during the cleaning of items to be washed. During desorbing, the fan does not necessarily have to be in operation. Alternatively, the fan can be operated during desorbing in pulse mode and / or in the reverse direction.
Die Adsorberkammer kann vorzugsweise zwischen dem Bottich und der Rückseite des Geschirrspülers angebracht werden. Aufgrund der Wärmeabgabe durch den Zeolith während des Trocknungsvorgangs wie auch aufgrund der zur Regenerierung des Zeoliths zugeführten Wärme empfiehlt sich eine Wärmeisolation - beispielsweise in Form einer Isolierschicht oder eines Hohlraumes - insbesondere zwischen der Adsorberkammer und der Geräterückwand.The adsorber chamber may preferably be mounted between the tub and the back of the dishwasher. Due to the heat released by the zeolite during the drying process as well as due to the supplied heat for the regeneration of zeolite heat insulation is recommended - for example in the form of an insulating layer or a cavity - in particular between the adsorber and the rear panel.
In einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung wird die in der Adsorberkammer während des Dehydrierens erzeugte Wärme und/oder auch die während des Trocknungsvorgangs erzeugte Wärme abgeleitet und weiterverwendet. So kann beispielsweise die beim Regenerieren erzeugte Wärme zum Erwärmen des Spülgutes mit verwendet werden. Der Übergang zwischen Adsorberkammer und Bottich kann dazu - sofern es die verwendeten Materialien zulassen - thermisch gekoppelt sein. Dazu kann die Adsorberkammer nahe an der Bottichwand angeordnet sein, so dass die in der Adsorberkammer erzeugte Wärme abstrahlt auf die Bottichwand. Als Mittel zum Ableiten dient hierbei der geeignet dimensionierte Zwischenraum, der mit Luft oder einem anderen Wärme leitenden Medium gefüllt ist. Andere Wärme leitende Mittel umfassen einen Wasserfilm, oder einen Luftstrom, die an der Adsorberkammer vorbeigeleitet werden und die dort erzeugte Wärme aufnehmen. Der erwärmte Wasserfilm, beziehungsweise Luftstrom kann dann über einen Einlass dem Bottich zugeführt werden. Ein solcher Wasserfilm oder ein solcher Luftstrom kann zu einer oder aber auch zu beiden Seiten der Adsorberkammer vorgesehen werden, also zwischen der Adsorberkammer und dem Bottich oder zwischen der Adsorberkammer und der Gehäusewand. Dabei wird der Wasserfilm und/oder der Luststrom vorzugsweise an der Aussenwand der Adsoberkammer geführt, um eine gute Wärmeaufnahme zu gewährleisten.In an advantageous development of the invention, the heat generated in the adsorber chamber during dehydrogenation and / or also the heat generated during the drying process is dissipated and reused. For example, the heat generated during regeneration can also be used to heat the ware. The transition between the adsorber chamber and the tub may be thermally coupled to this extent, as long as the materials used permit it. For this purpose, the adsorber chamber can be arranged close to the tub wall, so that the heat generated in the adsorber chamber radiates onto the tub wall. As a means for deriving this serves the suitably sized gap which is filled with air or other heat-conducting medium. Other heat-conducting means comprise a water film, or an air stream, which are conducted past the adsorber chamber and absorb the heat generated there. The heated water film, or air flow can then be supplied via an inlet to the tub. Such a water film or such an air flow can be provided to one or else on both sides of the adsorber chamber, ie between the adsorber chamber and the tub or between the adsorber chamber and the housing wall. In this case, the water film and / or the pleasure stream is preferably guided on the outer wall of the Adsoberkammer to ensure good heat absorption.
Während in der vorliegenden Anmeldung bevorzugte Ausführungen der Erfindung beschrieben sind, ist klar darauf hinzuweisen, dass die Erfindung nicht auf diese beschränkt ist und in auch anderer Weise innerhalb des Umfangs der folgenden Ansprüche ausgeführt werden kann. Die Ausführungsbeispiele sind beschrieben im Zusammenhang mit Geschirrspülern. Die beschriebene Trocknungsvorrichtung kann aber auch bei anderen Haushaltsgeräten zum Einsatz kommen, in denen ebenfalls eine Trocknung von feuchter Luft im Prozess erforderlich ist, so beispielsweise bei Wäschetrocknern.
