Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for self-cleaning a cleaning machine, in particular a fürlauf Hughesmaschinc for to be cleaned Good, such as dishes.
- Cleaning machines in particular continuous dishwashers, which are used, for example, for cleaning the costs incurred in catering, to be cleaned dishes, Tray and container parts are known. While dishwashing devices for the domestic sector generally run through a program sequence with the successive cleaning steps in the case of a stationary arrangement of the dishes and cutlery items to be cleaned, the treatment zones are arranged successively in continuous dishwashing machines and the items to be cleaned or the item to be cleaned are suitably designed from the application area (inlet area) to the removal area (outlet area) by successive treatment zones.
- Conventional continuous-flow dishwashers generally have four different treatment zones between the inlet region and the outlet region.
- a conveyor promotes the items to be washed through the individual treatment zones.
- This is a pre-cleaning zone, at least one cleaning zone, a final rinse zone and a drying zone.
- the pre-cleaning zone easily adhering dirt is removed from the material to be cleaned.
- rinsing liquid is sucked by a pump from the storage tank associated with this treatment zone and sprayed over the material to be cleaned by appropriately trained nozzles.
- the rinsing liquid then flows back into the storage tank and is again replaced by a sucked and introduced into a circulation circuit.
- the storage tank is covered by sieves to keep larger dirt particles from the rinsing liquid.
- the at least one cleaning zone which adjoins the pre-cleaning zone, dirt particles adhering to the items to be cleaned are removed by means of a usually alkaline rinsing liquid.
- the heated rinsing liquid is sucked by a further circulating pump from the storage tank associated storage tank and sprayed over the items to be washed by means of suitably positioned and oriented nozzles. Subsequently, the rinsing liquid flows back into the corresponding storage tank and is sucked in again by the circulation pump.
- the storage tank is covered by sieves in order to retain coarser dirt particles from the rinsing liquid.
- the alkaline rinsing liquid which wets the surface of the ware, rinsed off together with any leftovers from the surface of the ware by means of hot fresh water to which a rinse aid is usually added.
- the fresh water after this treatment step is again collected in a storage tank associated with this treatment zone and sucked with a circulating pump associated with this treatment zone and distributed by the actual fresh water rinsing by means of nozzles on the dishes (pump rinsing). Subsequently, the rinsing liquid flows back into the storage tank and is sucked in there again by the circulation pump.
- the volume of water supplied to the described dishwasher in the final rinse zone passes from zone to zone via overflows, only by the action of gravity between the storage tanks of the individual zones, thus renewing the contents of each of the storage tanks.
- the first tank of the machine pre-wash zone
- there is an overflow which directs the excess water to the sewer system.
- Each storage tank comprises a suitable device, such as a manually operated drain valve, which serves to empty each storage tank.
- DE 10 2005 008987 B3 discloses a dishwasher which, in contrast to the above-described embodiment, has in each treatment zone a filter device with which the cleaning fluid, which is located in the respective storage tank, is continuously filtered.
- This design of a dishwasher additionally has pumps between the individual NEN storage tanks of the respective zones, so that the water which is supplied to the dishwasher in the rinse, controlled and can be selectively pumped into the storage tanks of the other treatment zones.
- each of the storage tanks of this machine has its own electrically powered means for draining the tank, ie a pump.
- the above-described dishwashers are usually emptied and thoroughly cleaned. This is necessary to allow hygienic operation of the dishwasher. This cleaning is normally done in such a way that the doors or flaps fitted to each treatment zone are opened. Then the storage tank of each zone is emptied by the means provided, for example with the manual drain valves or, where appropriate, the pumps. Furthermore, all screens are removed from the tanks and cleaned outside the machine manually using water. The interior of the individual treatment zones is usually sprayed by hand with the aid of a hose with a spray device with water and rinsed out.
- Dirt, such as food particles, starch deposits and grease edges, etc., which have deposited during the rinsing operation inside the zones are removed in this way and rinsed through the discharge openings of the individual storage tanks in the sewerage.
- the water which is used for this purpose, is usually tap water, optionally heated tap water, without the addition of detergents.
- Solutions are known in which attempts are made by additional apparatus measures to eliminate the disadvantages outlined above or at least alleviate them.
- a solution is known, according to which a nozzle system is arranged on the ceiling of each storage tank, which is fed by a separate pump.
- the separate pump is supplied from the storage tank of the pump flush. This water is still relatively clean at the end of a working day.
- the water from the storage tank of the pump clearing can now be used to spray off the covers of the storage tanks. The dripping water is then no longer collected, but runs into the sewage system.
- the disadvantage of this approach lies in the fact that the amount of water in the storage tank of the pump clearing is very limited.
- the storage tank of the pump clearing usually has only a volume of about 30 1, so that the one-time use of this amount and the automated cleaning effect is extremely limited.
- Solutions are also known to mitigate by additional procedural measures, the disadvantages described above.
- the tanks of the machine are refilled, heated and enriched with cleaner.
- the circulating pumps of all tanks are restarted and the inside of the machine is sprayed with clean wash water.
- the disadvantage of this approach is that a very high level of additional water, cleaning and energy consumption is required to make the entire machine operational again at the end of an operating cycle.
- the filling and heating of the storage tanks takes a relatively long time.
- this zone In the area of the pre-cleaning zone, the cleaning effect with this method will be insufficient, because on the one hand by the operation here most Dirt accumulates and on the other hand, this zone usually has neither a means for heating nor a way to dosing of cleaners.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a method in which automatic automatic cleaning of a continuous dishwasher is possible at the end of an operating period, such as a working day. Furthermore, the solution proposed by the invention is based on the object of designing an apparatus of a continuous-flow dishwasher in such a way that the described method for the automatic automatic cleaning of the continuous-flow dishwasher can be carried out there.
- the continuous-flow dishwasher proposed according to the invention comprises a filter device on each of the storage tanks and has, in addition to the circulating pumps for carrying out the actual rinsing process, further pumps between the individual storage tanks of the respective treatment zones for the items to be washed.
- the water that is supplied to the continuous dishwasher for example, within the pump clearing, controlled and specifically pumped into the storage tank of the respective previous treatment zone.
- the inventively embodied continuous-flow dishwasher in which a filter device is provided in each treatment zone with which the cleaning fluid, which is located in the respective storage tank, can be filtered continuously, advantageously has the property that the cleaning fluid in the individual storage tanks even at the end of a cycle is still relatively clean.
- the storage tank of the pre-rinsing zone for example the storage tank of the pre-rinsing zone (pre-clearing), according to the treatment sequence, most of the dirt residues are present, in each further, in the conveying direction of the material to be cleaned, the degree of contamination decreases on this following storage tank.
- the relatively cleanest water is present, which in the described case of continuous fine filtering is virtually free of suspended particles.
- the most polluted tank within a pre-rinse zone is first completely emptied.
- a fine filter is backwashed and the concentrate contained therein fed into the drainage of the sewer system, any residual water remaining in the tank is also discharged via an emptying device into the drain, i. the sewer system.
- a fine filter which is arranged in a second storage tank, is then backwashed and passed its concentrate into the first tank. As a result, the second storage tank is emptied, whereas the first storage tank is refilled.
- the last tank for example the storage tank, is ready for delivery to the pump rinsing zone with a rinsed fine filter.
- the last storage tank is filled with fresh water. This water can be preheated and come for example from a network provided by the customer or from a built-in boiler of the machine and enriched with detergent or rinse aid.
- a rinse aid brings the particular advantage that at the end of the entire process sequence, all inner surfaces of the continuous dishwasher are sprayed with rinse solution, whereby the rinsing of dirt is particularly favored.
- Dirt residues which are located in the respective treatment zone, are rinsed from all inner surfaces by means of the existing rinsing systems and nozzles and collected in the fine filter. After this cleaning process, the process cycle starts again.
- the storage tanks are, as described above, drained one after the other, at the same time the filters of the individual storage tanks are rinsed and each tank receives again a filling with clean cleaning solution from the next tank.
- the storage tank of the pump clearing is now no longer crowded. Its insides are wetted by the fresh water and therefore sufficiently well cleaned.
- the still filled with liquid storage tanks are rinsed again as described above. This cycle is now repeated again, with the exception that now also the second last tank is not refilled.
- each of the treatment zones of the dishwashers is equipped with additional nozzles. These are designed so that all inner surfaces of the respective zones can be sprayed with cleaning liquid.
- the nozzle heads with their outlet openings are oriented or positioned accordingly.
- the inner sides of the closed doors are acted upon in sufficient quantity with cleaning liquid through these nozzle heads.
- These nozzle heads are either directly attached to the washing systems of the respective zone, or special nozzles or washing systems are installed in the individual treatment zones, which reach and wet all the inner surfaces.
- the mentioned nozzle heads or nozzles or washing systems are either supplied directly from the respective built-circulation pump of the treatment zone with cleaning liquid, or there are special pumps that are controlled accordingly for the realization of the self-cleaning function.
- the inner surfaces of the machines are smooth and formed without narrow gaps and corners to improve the cleaning result.
- the cover of each storage tank is designed with a gradient, so that all residues of the cleaning liquid introduced in the automated cleaning cycle run well. Any existing Grobsiebsysteme and the bottoms of the storage tanks are designed so that all residual fluids are directed to each drain device.
- the inner sides or rear sides of the doors are profiled, for example, with a herringbone pattern, whereby a damming of the liquid film forming on the surface is achieved and detached contaminants can be optimally washed away, without it after carrying out the inventive proposed automatic cleaning cycle 'manual intervention of a Operator required.

- the most polluted Vorststank 13 of the pre-rinse 2 is completely emptied.
- the fine filter 16 is backwashed by means of the pump 17 and passed the present in the fine filter 16 concentrate into the drain.
- remaining cleaning fluid 22 is about the Entlee- optionally also directed into the drainage device 18.
- the fine filter 16 in the storage tank 13 of the main washing zone 3 is then backwashed, the concentrate is passed into the storage tank of the pre-rinsing zone 2.
- the storage tank 13 of the main wash zone 3 is emptied and the storage tank 13, which is associated with the pre-wash zone 2, refilled.
- the storage tank 13 which is assigned to the pre-rinsing zone 2
- step 33 the last seen in the transport direction 8 of the storage tank 13, such as the Pumpenklar Hugheszone 4 or the Frischwasserklar Hugheszone 5 associated storage tank 13 is filled with fresh water. This is done via a filling device 21.
- This water can be preheated, for example, be taken from the on-site network or from the built-in boiler of the continuous dishwasher, optionally it may be enriched with detergent or rinse aid.
- the renewed cleaning liquid which is located in each of the treatment zones 2, 3, 4 and 5 or each of these storage tanks 13, is then built in for a certain period of time, which may for example be between 60 s and 120 s Pump 14 circulated.
- a certain period of time which may for example be between 60 s and 120 s Pump 14 circulated.
- Dirt residues, which are located in the respective zones 2, 3, 4 and 5 are rinsed off by means of the existing rinsing systems 9, 10 and 11 as well as nozzles of all inner surfaces (eg the storage tanks 13 and the inside of the access-enabling door) and collected in the fine filter 16.
- the storage tanks 13 are, as described above with reference to the method steps 31 and 32, drained one after the other, at the same time the individual fine filters 16 of the individual storage tanks 13 are rinsed, and each of the storage tanks 13 again receives a filling with cleaning fluid 22, which has a lower degree of contamination, from the transport direction 8 see subsequent storage tank 13, compare method step 35.
- a subsequent method step 36 the cleaning fluid 22 of the storage tanks 13 of the pre-rinse zone 2 and the main washing zone 3 is again circulated and rinsed as described above. Thereafter, the pumping of the cleaning fluid 22 into a storage tank 13 of the preceding in the transport direction 8 zone occurs, with the deviation that now the storage tank 13 of the main wash zone 3 is not refilled according to process step 37. The pumping is repeated until at last only the storage tank 13, which is assigned to the pre-rinsing zone 2, is filled with cleaning fluid 22. This is finally circulated in Aidsschritl 38. In process step 39, the storage tank 13, which is assigned to the pre-rinse zone 2, emptied, there is a final backwashing of the fine filter 16 and a complete emptying of the storage tank 13 of the pre-rinse 2.
- the first method step 31 can be repeated several times after the filling of the storage tank 13 of the pump rinsing zone 4 or the fresh water rinsing zone 5, before the further steps are followed by a successive emptying of all storage tanks 13 of the continuous rinse machine.
- inner sides of the access doors 24 can be wetted by means of an independent nozzle head 23 mounted, for example, in a roof surface of one of the treatment zones.
- the independent nozzle heads 23 may be designed such that they have, for example, a hemispherical nozzle head - as shown in FIG. 3 - and the nozzles are introduced in this way, that wetting of the above the flushing systems 9, 10 and 1 1 lying sides of the treatment zone, ie the ceiling and the inside of the door 24, can always be swept with cleaning fluid.
- FIG. 4 compare section A-A, it can be seen that at the doors 24, which allow access to the individual treatment zones, a for example oblique profile, i. a profiling 25 - preferably in herringbone form - is arranged.
- a profiling 25 - preferably in herringbone form - is arranged. This advantageously prevents the accumulation of dirt, promotes its drainage with constant wetting, in particular a round configuration of the bottom of the individual profiles of the profiling 25 prevents drainage of cleaning fluid or a caking or setting of impurities.
- the Profilicrung 25 is disposed on the inside, for example, each of the doors 24 and may, for example, at an angle - as in Figure 4 - run from 45 °. Of course, other angles of inclination can be selected.
