Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dishwasher according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • a dishwasher which has a rinsing container, in which an extendable crockery basket is arranged, which is associated with a rinsing device to apply to washing dishes to be cleaned with rinsing liquor.
  • the dish rack from the washing container is arranged to be pulled out, wherein a coupling is provided to establish a liquid-conducting connection between the flushing crockery associated purging device and a hydraulic system of the dishwasher, with the in operation the rinsing liquor can be transported by a circulation pump through lines to the sprayers.
  • a coupling is provided, which is arranged at a connection point on the rear wall of the washing container of the dishwasher, which opens when pulling out of the dish rack and produces a liquid-conducting connection between the hydraulic system of the dishwasher and the flushing device when reinserting the dish rack in the washing.
  • the dish rack is designed to be height-adjustable, i. the clear height of the upper crockery basket with respect to the roof wall of the washing container can be adjusted as the clear height between an upper and a lower crockery basket, so that it is also possible to store very large items in the baskets.
  • the dish rack can take tilting positions with different height positions on both longitudinal sides of the dish rack, namely once with lowered right side and elevated left side and once with increased left side and lowered right side. For example, on the right side, the clear height for the upper dish rack can be increased.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a dishwasher whose crockery basket has further customization options.
  • the solution of the object of the invention is based on a dishwasher, at least comprising a crockery basket, which can take at least two different height positions, a spraying device for loading dishes with wash liquor, which is associated with the dish rack, a hydraulic system for supplying the spraying device with washing liquor, and a coupling having at least two openings for establishing a liquid-conducting connection between the hydraulic system and the spraying device in the at least two different height positions and at least two tilting positions.
  • the solution of the object of the invention is characterized in that at least one of the openings is assigned a height position and at least two tilting positions for forming the liquid-conducting connection.
  • at least one of the openings is assigned a height position and at least two tilting positions for forming the liquid-conducting connection.
  • the coupling has three openings, which are assigned three height positions. This provides a further increase in the possibilities of variation and adaptation
  • the two openings is associated with an unequal number of tilting positions. This allows a particularly simple structure, in which one opening tilt positions are assigned via two different height positions and also over three different height positions, while a second opening only tilt positions are assigned to two different height positions.
  • the ratio of the number of tilt positions is one to two.
  • other ratios of the number of tilt positions are possible, such as three to one.
  • the hydraulic system has a dishwashing machine-side connection point, which is arranged on a rear wall of the washing container opposite the container opening. That is, the washing container has a front-side container opening, which can usually be opened and closed with a door pivotally mounted on the washing container, in order to load and unload the dishwasher.
  • the arrangement of the dishwashing machine-side connection point on a rear wall of the washing container lying behind the container opening results in a particularly simple construction, in which the coupling is separated, for example when the dishware basket is pulled out of the washing machine's washing compartment for unloading.
  • the hydraulic system has a dishwasher-side connection which is arranged on a side wall connecting the container opening and the rear wall opposite the container opening or arranged in a region between the rear wall and a side wall of a dishwashing container of the dishwasher is, ie in a transition region between the rear and side wall forming corner.
  • connection point is arranged substantially centrally between side walls, which the container opening and the rear wall connect. That is, the connection point is arranged substantially on a perpendicular symmetry axis of the washing container on the rear wall. This allows a particularly simple design of the coupling.
  • the coupling has a dishwasher-side portion and a dish rack side section.
  • the two-part clutch by connecting the two-part clutch at different height positions of the dish rack occupy different height positions, at the same time a reliable supply of the dish rack associated with the spraying spray is ensured.
  • the dishwasher-side section and the dish rack-side section are adjustable in relation to one another about three axes arranged at right angles to each other. Movement along a first axis allows the clutch to open and connect by pushing the collision basket out or in. A movement along a second axis allows for height adjustment of the two sections to each other when the height of the dish rack is changed. The second axis runs in the direction of solder or gravity. A movement along a third axis makes it possible to adapt the sections of the coupling to one another when a tilting position of the dish rack is selected.
  • a pivoting movement can be performed around at least one of the axes. This may be the movement along the third axis, by which an adjustment of the portions of the coupling is possible when selecting a tilt position.
  • the coupling has at least one liquid-conducting housing and a sealing element arranged in the housing.
  • the liquid-conducting housing establishes a fluid-conducting connection with the spraying device which is assigned to the dishwashing basket and ensures the sealing element arranged in the housing that a reliable supply of the spraying device with washing liquor is provided.
  • the sealing element is arranged pivotably. It is also preferably provided that the sealing element is arranged pivotable about an axis extending through the inlet. This makes it possible to produce a reliable sealing connection between the dishwasher-side portion of the coupling and the sprayer associated with the basket even when the crockery basket is in any tilted position. It is achieved by the symmetrical design that the pivot angle can be reduced to achieve any tilting position of the dish rack, so that the size of the sealing element receiving liquid-liquid-carrying housing is reduced. This enables a particularly compact design.
  • stop means are provided, which can be arranged on the housing.
  • the sealing element is arranged displaceably along an axis with respect to the housing.
  • the axis may extend in the vertical direction, so that by a displacement of the sealing element in relation to the housing against the direction of gravity positioning of the sealing element is possible to produce a liquid-conducting connection.
  • the sealing element has at least one inlet and at least two blind plugs.
  • the inlet is connected to one of the openings and at least one of the blind plugs closes a further opening. It is thus ensured that rinsing fluid can flow through the inlet to the spray device associated with the crockery basket through at least one of the two or three openings, while the further openings are closed by the blind plugs.
  • the openings may be assigned to the dishwasher-side portion of the coupling.
  • the inlet is centrally located between the blind plugs, that is, the blind plugs and the inlet are arranged in a row that is substantially vertical and the position of the inlet and the blind plugs correspond to the different height positions that the dish rack can assume Center of this row, the inlet is disposed adjacent to at least one of the blind plugs.
  • the blind stoppers are designed to have inlet slopes. This facilitates the insertion of the blind plugs into one of the openings in the different height positions of the dish rack when e.g. the crockery basket is pushed back into the dishwasher after loading.
  • run-in slopes instead of run-in slopes, other positioning means can be used, which likewise ensure reliable positioning.
  • the blind plugs are formed as an oblique circular cone, which is preferably the sealing element upon insertion of the dish rack, i. when in contact with the blind stopper lift with the openings against gravity, thus ensuring an automatic positioning.
  • the circular cones may also have other suitable shapes.
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of a liquid-conducting housing with a sealing element arranged therein in a first position
  • a dishwasher (not shown) has a rinse container (not shown) in which at least one dish rack (not shown) is arranged to be pulled out on two opposite sides (not shown). Furthermore, a height-adjustable mechanism (not shown) is provided, which makes it possible to change the height of the dish rack. Below the crockery basket, a spraying device (not shown) is provided, which is usually formed by a rotating spray arm.
  • this dish rack can be arranged in the washing another dish rack. Furthermore, a further, designed as a cutlery drawer receptacle may also be provided above this dish rack.
  • an inlet pipe 34 is provided, which can be connected by means of a coupling 2 in different height positions with a hydraulic system of the dishwasher.
  • the hydraulic system comprises lines, control means such as water switches and water heaters, with which rinsing water can be circulated in the cleaning operation.
  • rinsing liquor collecting at the bottom of the rinsing container can be supplied to the purging device by the hydraulic system in order to pressurize rinsing liquor to be cleaned.
  • the coupling 2 is formed from a dishwashing machine-side section 14 and a dishwashing-side section 16.
  • the clutch 2 is formed separable, so that the pull-out dish rack for loading and unloading from the washing container of the dishwasher can be pulled out, in which case the clutch 2 is opened or separated.
  • the coupling 2 again establishes a liquid-conducting connection between the dishwashing-side section 14 and the dishwashing-side section 16, so that rinsing liquor can again be supplied by the hydraulic system to the rinsing basket-associated rinsing device during the subsequent cleaning process.
  • the dishwasher-side portion 14 a coupling piece 36 of a feed tube 32 with three openings 4, 6, 8, which is arranged on the rear wall, ie the container opening of the washing container opposite side center between side walls, the container opening and connect the back wall. That is, the connection point 12 of the coupling 2 is arranged in the region of a vertically extending symmetry axis of the washing compartment.
  • the dish rack-side section 16 of the coupling 2 has, in addition to the inlet pipe 34, a housing 18 in which a sealing element 20 is arranged.
  • the sealing element 20 has an inlet 22 arranged along a line, which forms a fluid-conducting connection 10 with the inlet pipe 34 and four blind stubs 24, 26, 28, 30, which are arranged symmetrically above and below along a line to the inlet 22.
  • a selection of a desired height position is made by an operator on the basis of the height-adjustable mechanism, after the clutch 2 has been separated by pulling the crockery basket from the washing.
  • the inlet 22 and two of the blind stubs 24, 26, 28, 30 come into contact with the three openings 4, 6, 8, the inlet 22 with the respective opening 4, 6, 8 a liquid-conducting connection 10 between the feed tube 32 of the dishwasher-side portion 14 of the coupling 2 forms, while the other two openings 4, 6, 8 of each of the blind stoppers 24, 26, 28, 30 are closed and two more of the blind stub 24, 26, 28, 30 do not close any of the openings 4, 6, 8.
  • the present clutch 2 allows a selection between three height positions of a dish rack, a top where the inlet 22 is connected to the opening 4, a middle position where the inlet 22 is connected to the opening 6, and a bottom position the inlet 22 is connected to the opening 8.
  • the clutch 2 also allows tilting positions of the dish rack.
  • a tilting position of the dish rack can be done by a user by selecting different height positions on both sides of the dish rack. in this connection a tilting position between the middle and the upper position is possible, wherein one of the two sides of the dish rack is increased, while the other is lowered. Further, the tilting position is possible between the middle height position and the lower height position and between the upper and the lower height position of the dish rack. That is, it can be selected in addition to the three height positions six height positions in which the dish rack is tilted.
  • the sealing element 20 Upon selection of such a tilting position, the sealing element 20 is pivoted, which is rotatably arranged for this purpose around an axis extending through the inlet 22 in the housing 18.
  • these are arranged symmetrically with respect to the inlet 22 and thus to the axis extending through the inlet 22. That is, upon selection of a tilt position of the dish rack, the housing 18 is pivoted while the seal member 20 remains unchanged in orientation due to its association with the dishwasher side portion 14 of the dishwasher.
  • longitudinal guides 42 are also provided, which are formed by slots in the housing 18, engage in the tongues of the sealing element 20.
  • the sealing element 20 can be displaced in the housing 18 along an axis which, in the installed state, extends in a soldering or gravity direction into a dishwasher. Along this axis, the inlet 22 and the blind plugs 24, 26, 28, 30 are arranged in the present embodiment.
  • tilting positions four are associated with the central opening 6, namely two tilting positions between the lower and the middle height positions and two tilting positions between the lower and the upper height positions, while the upper opening 8 is associated with two tilting positions, namely between the middle and upper height positions.
  • a dishwasher is provided with a crockery basket, in which the number of possible positions of the crockery basket is significantly increased and thus offers a significantly increased adaptability to the needs of a user.
