Definitions

  • the present invention relates to industrial dishwashers, and in particular to a hood-type dishwasher with an improved filter assembly aimed at a more effective and efficient washing of the dishes.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a hood-type dishwasher with an improved filter assembly which overcomes said drawback.
  • the main advantage of the dishwasher according to the present invention is that of having a filter assembly that achieves a high filtering without clogging problems, since it is capable of retaining all those residues that could actually cause damage to the machine while letting through all those residues that could cause the clogging, so as to validly contribute to a good wash effectiveness of the dishwasher.
  • a second advantage of the above-mentioned filter assembly is that it is divided in two parts so as to maintain the possibility of removing the top filter for large residues also when the sump is full, while the wash and drain circuit remains protected by the bottom filter so as to limit the risk that during the removal of the top filter other dirt residues present along the edge of the flat filter and having a size greater than that allowed fall into the sump and end up blocking the pumps or clogging the nozzles.
  • Another advantage of the present dishwasher is that the improved filter assembly is made up of few simple parts, which positively affects its cost and the ease in assembling and disassembling it.
  • the filter assembly of a dishwasher includes a first top filtering element 1, introduced from above into a central opening 2a of a concave-shaped flat filter 2 that acts as a lid of the collecting sump 3 formed in the tank bottom 4.
  • a second bottom filtering element 5 is similarly introduced from above into a central opening 3a at the bottom of the sump 3, said opening 3a being concentric with said opening 2a in the flat filter 2, and a manifold 6 is secured under opening 3a for the connection to the wash and drain pumps.
  • the correct positioning of the bottom filtering element 5 is detected by a suitable sensor that authorizes the operation of the dishwasher.
  • a suitable sensor that authorizes the operation of the dishwasher.
  • An example of such a sensor illustrated only in Figs.1 and 2 , consists of a reed switch 7 arranged in manifold 6 so as to detect the presence of a magnet 8 located in the bottom filtering element 5.
  • the flat filter 2 consists of a perforated stainless steel sheet, with holes having a diameter indicatively between 1,5 and 2,5 mm, which has the function of letting through most (about 75-85%) of the flow rate of the wash pump, and of receiving in its central opening 2a the first filtering element 1 that is made up of two coaxial bodies 1a, 1b joined at their bases through connecting ribs that leave a circular passage 9 whose width "w" ranges from 4 to 6 mm, preferably 5 mm.
  • the inner body 1a is a closed cylinder but for openings on the top side and the outer body 1b is slightly frustoconical and has a top peripheral rim 10 for fitting into opening 2a, a diametral crossbar 11 for its handling, as well as a side wall with vertical passage slots having a width indicatively between 1 and 1,5 mm, preferably 1,2 mm.
  • the connecting ribs defining the circular passage 9 are formed with a pitch in the range from 10 to 16 mm, preferably between 12 and 14 mm.
  • the second filtering element 5 is made up of three coaxial bodies 5a, 5b and 5c of different diameter joined through a circular ring 5d provided with openings. More specifically, the inner body 5a is a solid cylinder extending above ring 5d and has an inlet 12 at the top with an inward tapering; the outer body 5b, slightly frustoconical, also extends solid above ring 5d but is much shorter than cylinder 5a and has a top peripheral rim 13 for fitting into opening 3a of sump 3; and finally the intermediate body 5c is a solid cylinder extending below ring 5d.
  • Both the latter and rim 13 are provided with passage slots having a size equal to or greater than the passage holes of the flat filter 2, indicatively 2,5 mm wide, yet such as to retain the residues having a size that could clog the wash nozzles or block the wash pump.
  • the largest residues retained within the top filtering element 1, having a size such that they can not be discharged through the drain pump, even when the machine is in the operating condition (i.e. with sump 3 full of water) can be removed by the operator by removing only element 1 for cleaning, as shown in Fig.5 .
  • This operation there is the risk that large residues possibly present along the edge of opening 2a fall into sump 3 but even if they did fall therein they would be retained, as previously explained, by ring 5d and rim 13 of the bottom filtering element 5 which, at the end of the use of the machine when sump 3 is empty, can be in turn removed from opening 3a and thoroughly washed.
  • tapered shape of inlet 12 coupling with the similarly tapered outlet 14 has the function not only of assuring a good coupling between the two filtering elements, but also to increase the horizontal distance "d" between the edge of inlet 12 and the edge of opening 2a so as to limit the risk that during the removal of the top filtering element 1 large residues present along the edge of opening 2a fall and reach the discharge region by entering the central cylinder 5 a.
  • the filtering elements 1 and 5 could even be without radial symmetry and openings 2a, 3a could be not concentric as long as the filter assembly forms a smooth path for the passage of residues of suitable size towards the drain pump.
