Es wird zunächst auf
Eine im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel als Haushalts-Geschirrspülmaschine ausgebildete Geschirrspülmaschine GS weist einen als Spülbehälter dienenden Innenraum IR auf, der mittels einer an der Geschirrspülmaschine GS schwenkbar angelenkten Tür (nicht dargestellt) zum Beladen und Entladen geöffnet bzw. geschlossen werden kann. In dem Innenraum IR der Geschirrspülmaschine GS sind Geschirrkörbe GK zur Aufnahme von zu reinigendem Spülgut vorgesehen, die aus dem Innenraum IR der Geschirrspülmaschine GS herausgezogen werden können, um das Be- und Entladen zu erleichtern.A dishwasher GS designed in the present exemplary embodiment as a domestic dishwasher has an interior space IR serving as a washing container, which can be opened or closed for loading and unloading by means of a door (not shown) pivotably hinged to the dishwasher GS. Dishwashing baskets GK are provided in the interior IR of the dishwasher GS for receiving items to be cleaned, which can be pulled out of the interior IR of the dishwasher GS in order to facilitate loading and unloading.
Um das in den Geschirrkörben GK gelagerte Spülgut zu reinigen sind in dem Innenraum IR der Geschirrspülmaschine GS als Sprüharme SA ausgebildete Mittel zur Beaufschlagung von Spülgut mit Flüssigkeit vorgesehen, wobei es sich bei der Flüssigkeit um z.B. mit Reinigungsmitteln oder mit Klarspüler versetztes Wasser handeln kann, um so eine Reinigungswirkung bzw. streifenfreie Trocknung zu bewirken. Die vom Spülgut herabfließende Flüssigkeit sammelt sich in einem Pumpensumpf PS, der im Bodenbereich des Innenraumes IR der Geschirrspülmaschine GS angeordnet ist.In order to clean the items to be stored in the crockery baskets GK, means for supplying items to be washed with liquid are provided in the interior IR of the dishwasher GS as spraying arms SA, wherein the liquid may, for example, be filled with water. can act with detergents or with rinse aid added water, so as to effect a cleaning effect or streak-free drying. The liquid flowing down from the items to be washed collects in a pump sump PS, which is arranged in the bottom area of the interior IR of the dishwasher GS.
Die Sprüharme SA sind über eine Zuführleitung ZL mit einer Umwälzpumpe UP flüssigkeitsleitend verbunden, die neben anderen Bauteilkomponenten der Geschirrspülmaschine GS in einer Bodenbaugruppe BO unterhalb des Innenraums IR der Geschirrspülmaschine GS angeordnet ist. Im Betrieb, d.h. bei laufender Umwälzpumpe UP, saugt die Umwälzpumpe UP die sich in dem Pumpensumpf PS angesammelte Flüssigkeit an und fördert diese durch die Zuführleitung ZL zu den Sprüharmen SA. Um die durch den Betrieb der Umwälzpumpe UP umgewälzte Flüssigkeit zu erwärmen weist die Umwälzpumpe eine integrierte Wasserheizung WZ zur Erwärmung der Flüssigkeit auf. Alternativ kann neben der Umwälzpumpe UP ein separater Durchlauferhitzer oder eine andere Wasserheizung vorgesehen sein. Zum Entleeren des Innenraums IR der Geschirrspülmaschine GS ist eine Laugenpumpe LP vorgesehen, die ebenfalls in flüssigkeitsleitender Verbindung mit dem Pumpensumpf PS steht und mit einer Entsorgungsleitung EL an ein hausseitiges Abwasserentsorgungsnetz angeschlossen werden kann.The spray arms SA are fluidly connected via a supply line ZL with a circulation pump UP, which in addition to other components of the dishwasher GS is disposed in a floor assembly BO below the interior IR of the dishwasher GS. During operation, ie when the circulation pump UP is running, the circulation pump UP sucks the liquid accumulated in the pump sump PS and delivers it through the supply line ZL to the spray arms SA. In order to heat the liquid circulated by the operation of the circulating pump UP, the circulating pump has an integrated water heater WZ for heating the liquid. Alternatively, in addition to the circulation pump UP, a separate instantaneous water heater or another water heater may be provided. For emptying the interior IR of the dishwasher GS, a drain pump LP is provided, which is also in fluid-conducting connection with the pump sump PS and can be connected to a disposal line EL to a house-side sewage disposal network.
Ferner weist die Geschirrspülmaschine GS ein Sorptionstrocknungssystem auf, mit dem in den Geschirrkörben GR angeordnetes und gereinigtes Spülgut am Ende eines Spülprogrammdurchlaufs getrocknet werden kann. Hierzu ist in der Bodenbaugruppe BO ein Sorptionsbehälter SB vorgesehen, der über einen Luftkanal LK mit einem Einlass EI luftleitend verbunden ist, wobei zur Erzeugung einer Zwangsdurchströmung ein Lüfter LT vorgesehen ist. Um die durch den Einlass EI angesaugte und durch den Lüfter LT in den Sorptionsbehälter beförderte Luft wieder in den Innenraum IR der Geschirrspülmaschine GS zurückzufördern ist eine Ausblasöffnung AU im Bodenbereich des Innenraums IR Geschirrspülmaschine GS vorgesehen.Furthermore, the dishwasher GS has a sorption drying system, with which in the dish racks GR arranged and cleaned items can be dried at the end of a Spülprogrammdurchlaufs. For this purpose, a sorption SB is provided in the bottom assembly BO, which is air-conductively connected to an inlet EI via an air channel LK, wherein a fan LT is provided for generating a forced flow. In order to recirculate the air sucked in through the inlet EI and conveyed by the ventilator LT into the sorption container back into the interior IR of the dishwasher GS, an outlet opening AU is provided in the bottom area of the interior IR dishwasher GS.
Um eine Trocknung von gereinigtem Spülgut zu bewirken, wird durch den Lüfter LT Luft aus dem Innenraum IR der Geschirrspülmaschine GS angesaugt, durch den Sorptionsbehälter SB geleitet und wieder durch die Ausblasöffnung AU zurück in den Innenraum IR der Geschirrspülmaschine GS geleitet. Um hierbei die umgewälzte Luft zu Trocknen ist in dem Sorptionsbehälter SB ein Trocknungsmittel zur Durchführung einer exothermen Trocknung vorgesehen. Es handelt sich dabei um ein reversibel dehydrierbares Trocknungsmaterial, z.B. Zeolith, das auf Grund seiner hydroskopischen Eigenschaft Wasser aufnimmt, wobei zeitgleich Wärmeenergie freigesetzt wird. Durch diese freigesetzte Wärmeenergie wird eine Erwärmung der umgewälzten Luft bewirkt, was zugleich das Feuchtigkeitsaufnahmevermögen der umgewälzten Luft erhöht. Am Ende eines Trocknungsvorgangs ist eine Flüssigkeitsmenge, in dem Trocknungsmaterial ZEO gespeichert.In order to effect a drying of cleaned items to be washed, air is sucked in from the interior IR of the dishwasher GS by the fan LT, passed through the sorption container SB and again through the discharge opening AU back into the interior IR of the dishwasher GS. In order to dry the circulated air in this case, a drying agent for carrying out an exothermic drying is provided in the sorption container SB. It is a reversible dehydratable drying material, such as zeolite, which absorbs water due to its hydroscopic property, at the same time heat energy is released. By this released heat energy heating of the circulating air is effected, which at the same time increases the moisture absorption capacity of the circulating air. At the end of a drying process is an amount of liquid, stored in the drying material ZEO.
Um das Aufnahmevermögen des Trocknungsmittels ZEO für einen erneuten Spülprogrammdurchlauf wieder herzustellen, ist eine Luftheizung HZ vorgesehen, die im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel in dem Sorptionsbehälter SB angeordnet ist. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, eine Luftheizung außerhalb des Sorptionsbehälters SB anzuordnen, z.B. in dem Luftkanal LK, um eine Erwärmung der in den Sorptionsbehälter SB geförderten Luft zu bewirken. Um die in den Trocknungsmaterial ZEO gespeicherte Flüssigkeitsmenge auszutreiben, wird eine mit dem Lüfter LT erzeugte Luftströmung erwärmt, so dass das Trocknungsmaterial ZEO auf Temperaturen erhitzt werden kann, bei denen die in dem Trocknungsmaterial ZEO gespeicherte Wassermenge wieder freigesetzt werden kann.In order to restore the capacity of the drying agent ZEO for a new wash program run, an air heater HZ is provided, which is arranged in the present embodiment in the sorption SB. However, it is also possible to arrange an air heater outside the sorbent tank SB, e.g. in the air passage LK to cause heating of the conveyed into the sorbent SB air. In order to expel the amount of liquid stored in the drying material ZEO, an air flow generated by the fan LT is heated, so that the drying material ZEO can be heated to temperatures at which the amount of water stored in the drying material ZEO can be released again.
Es wird nun zusätzlich auf die
Geschirrspülmaschinen GS durchlaufend zur Reinigung und Trocknung von zu reinigendem Spülgut, Spülprogramme, die aus einer Mehrzahl von Programmschritten bestehen, die nacheinander durchlaufen werden. Ein derartiges Programm kann aus den Programmschritten Vorspülen V, Reinigen R, Zwischenspülen Z, Klarspülen K und Trocknen T bestehen, wobei einzelne Programmschritte, wie z. B. das Vorspülen V oder Zwischenspülen Z auch ausgeblendet werden können, während es auch denkbar ist, einzelne Programmschritte mehrfach zu durchlaufen, wie z.B. das Zwischenspülen Z. Während des Vorspülens V wird bspw. Spülgut mit Wasser ohne Zugabe von Reinigungsmitteln beaufschlagt, wobei dies entweder mit nicht erwärmten Wasser oder mit mittels einer Heizung erwärmten Wasser durchgeführt wird. Hierzu kann Wasser verwendet werden, dass in einem Wassertank (nicht dargestellt) gespeichert wurde. Ein derartiger Wassertank kann mit der Umgebung der Geschirrspülmaschine in wärmeleitender Verbindung stehen, so dass in dem Wassertank zwischengespeicherte Flüssigkeit, wie z.B. Wasser aus einem hausseitigen Versorgungssystem, sich auf Raumtemperatur erwärmen kann. In dem Reinigungsschritt R erfolgt eine Reinigung von Spülgut durch Beaufschlagung von mit Reinigungsmitteln versetztem Wasser, d.h. während des Reinigungsschritts erfolgt eine Reinigungsmittelzugabe. Ferner erfolgt eine Erwärmung der Flüssigkeit, um so die Reinigungswirkung des Reinigungsmittels zu steigern. Dabei setzt sich der Reinigungsschritt R aus einer Heizphase P1, P2 zusammen, in der die Flüssigkeit in der Geschirrspülmaschine GS mittels Heizmitteln erwärmt wird, bis eine vorgegebene Maximaltemperatur erreicht ist und einer anschließenden Nachwaschphase zusammen, während der bei ausgeschalteten Heizungsmittel die sich langsam abkühlende Flüssigkeit mittels der Umwälzpumpe UP umgewälzt wird. In dem Programmschritt Zwischenspülen Z wird das Spülgut mit Flüssigkeit beaufschlagt, um so Schmutzreste aus der Geschirrspülmaschine GS zu fördern. Der nächste Programmschritt ist das Klarspülen K zur Vorbereitung des Programmschritts Trocknen T, bei dem mit Klarspülmittel versetztes Wasser mittels der Umwälzpumpe umgewälzt und über die Sprüharme SA auf das nun gereinigte Spülgut aufgebracht wird. Abschließend erfolgt der Programmschritt Trocknen T, in dem das Spülgut nicht mehr mit Flüssigkeit beaufschlagt wird, sondern durch Betrieb des Lüfters LT eine durch den Innenraum IR der Geschirrspülmaschine GS und dem Sorptionsbehälter SB zirkulierende Luftströmung erzeugt wird. Zwischen den einzelnen Programmschritten kann ein vollständiger oder wenigstens teilweiser Flüssigkeitswechsel durchgeführt werden, d.h., die Geschirrspülmaschine GS wird mittels der Laugenpumpe LP und der Entsorgungsleitung EL entleert und durch eine zu einem hausseitigen Versorgungssystem eine Verbindung herstellende Versorgungsleitung (nicht dargestellt) wieder neu befüllt werden.Dishwashers GS continuous for cleaning and drying of items to be cleaned, wash programs, which consist of a plurality of program steps, which are passed through successively. Such a program may consist of the program steps pre-wash V, cleaning R, intermediate rinsing Z, rinsing K and drying T, with individual program steps such. B. the pre-wash V or intermediate rinse Z can also be hidden, while it is also conceivable to pass through individual program steps repeatedly, such as the intermediate rinsing Z. During the pre-rinsing V, for example, ware is charged with water without the addition of detergents, this either with unheated water or with heated water by means of a heater. For this purpose, water can be used that has been stored in a water tank (not shown). Such a water tank can be in heat-conducting connection with the environment of the dishwasher, so that liquid stored in the water tank, such as water from a home-side supply system, can warm up to room temperature. In the cleaning step R, cleaning of items to be washed takes place by application of detergent-added water, ie during the cleaning stage a detergent addition takes place. Furthermore, a heating of the liquid, so as to increase the cleaning effect of the cleaning agent. In this case, the cleaning step R is composed of a heating phase P1, P2, in which the liquid in the Dishwasher GS is heated by means of heating means until a predetermined maximum temperature is reached and a subsequent Nachwaschphase together, while the switched off heating means, the slowly cooling liquid is circulated by means of the circulation pump UP. In the intermediate rinse Z program step, liquid is applied to the items to be washed in order to convey dirt residues from the dishwasher GS. The next step in the program is rinsing K in preparation for the program step drying T, in which water mixed with rinse aid is circulated by means of the circulation pump and applied to the now cleaned items via the spray arms SA. Finally, the program step drying T, in which the ware is no longer charged with liquid, but by operation of the fan LT through the interior IR of the dishwasher GS and the sorbent SB circulating air flow is generated. A complete or at least partial fluid change can be carried out between the individual program steps, ie the dishwasher GS is emptied by means of the drain pump LP and the disposal line EL and refilled again by a supply line (not shown) making a connection to a house-side supply system.
Bei dem Spülprogrammablauf gemäß
Während des Desorbierens mittels der Luftheizung HZ wird die Ausblasöffnung AU in dem Innenraum IR Geschirrspülmaschine GS gekühlt, um so sicherzustellen, dass es auf Grund der Heizleistung der Luftheizung HZ zu keiner übermäßigen Erwärmung der Ausblasöffnung HZ mit Überhitzungsschäden kommt.During desorbing by means of the air heater HZ, the blow-out opening AU is cooled in the interior IR dishwasher GS, so as to ensure that due to the heating power of the air heater HZ no excessive heating of the blow-out opening HZ with overheating damage occurs.
Hierzu wird während des Betriebs der Luftheizung HZ, d.h. z.B. während der Phase P1, die Umwälzpumpe UP betrieben, so dass durch die Umwälzpumpe Flüssigkeit von dem Pumpensumpf PS durch die Zuführleitung zu dem Sprüharm SA gefördert wird. Hierdurch werden die Sprüharme SA in Rotation versetzt und bewirken durch Besprühen der Ausblasöffnung AU, insbesondere einer die Ausblasöffnung AU abdeckenden Kappe mit Flüssigkeit, eine Kühlung derselben.For this purpose, during operation of the air heater HZ, i. e.g. during the phase P1, the circulation pump UP is operated so that liquid is conveyed from the pump sump PS through the supply line to the spray arm SA by the circulation pump. As a result, the spray arms SA are set in rotation and cause by spraying the exhaust opening AU, in particular a cap covering the exhaust opening AU with liquid, a cooling thereof.
In einer nächsten Phase P2 des Programmschritts Reinigen R wird mittels der Wasserheizung WZ die Flüssigkeitsmenge ausgehend von der ersten Temperatur T1 auf die zweite Temperatur T2 aufgeheizt.In a next phase P2 of the program step cleaning R, the amount of liquid is heated from the first temperature T1 to the second temperature T2 by means of the water heater WZ.
Um die Reinigungswirkung während des Programmschritts Reinigen R zu erhöhen, ist vorgesehen durch Erhöhung der Drehzahl der Umwälzpumpe UP den Sprühdruck der aus dem Sprüharm SA austretenden Wasserstrahlen zu steigern. Hierzu wird während des Programmschritts Reinigen R während der Nachwaschphase NA die mittels der Umwälzpumpe UP umgewälzte Flüssigkeitsmenge durch einen Nachfüllschritt erhöht, bspw. zum Zeitpunkt t1 (vgl.
Zwischen dem Programmschritt Klarspülen K und dem Programmschritt Trocknen T ist eine Abtropfphase AB vorgesehen (vgl.
Vor dieser Abtropfphase AB, d.h. am Ende des Programmschritts Klarspülen K, erfolgt ein Abpumpvorgang, bei dem die mit Klarspüler versetzte Flüssigkeit mittels der Laugenpumpe LP durch die Entleerungsleitung EL in ein hausseitiges Abwasserentsorgungssystem gefördert wird. Es folgt die Abtropfphase AB, während der weder die Umwälzpumpe UP noch die Laugenpumpe LP sowie auch nicht der Lüfter LT oder eine der genannten Heizungen HZ, WZ in Betrieb sind. Nach Ablauf dieser Abtropfphase AB beginnt der Programmschritt Trocknen T durch Inbetriebnahme des Lüfters LT, so dass eine durch den Innenraum IR der Geschirrspülmaschine und dem Sorptionsbehälter SB zirkulierende Luftströmung erzeugt wird, um das gereinigte Spülgut in den Geschirrkörben GK zu trocknen. Am Ende des Programmschritts Trocknen T erfolgt ein weiterer Abpumpvorgang mittels der Laugenpumpe LP, mittels dem eine verbleibende Flüssigkeitsmenge aus der Geschirrspülmaschine GS durch die Entleerungsleitung EL in ein hausseitiges Abwasserentsorgungssystem gefördert wird. Alternativ hierzu kann auch vorgesehen sein, einen weiteren Abpumpvorgang zusätzlich oder alternativ zu Beginn des Programmschritts Trocknen T durchzuführen.Before this dripping phase AB, i. at the end of the program step rinsing K, a pumping down process takes place in which the liquid mixed with rinse aid is conveyed by means of the drain pump LP through the discharge line EL into a house-side wastewater disposal system. This is followed by the Abtropfphase AB, during which neither the circulation pump UP nor the drain pump LP and not the fan LT or one of the heaters HZ, WZ are in operation. After expiration of this dripping AB, the program step drying T starts by putting the fan LT, so that a circulating through the interior IR of the dishwasher and the sorbent SB air flow is generated to dry the cleaned items in the baskets GK. At the end of the program step drying T, a further pumping down by means of the drain pump LP, by means of which a remaining amount of liquid from the dishwasher GS is conveyed through the discharge line EL in a house-side sewage disposal system. Alternatively, it can also be provided to perform a further pump-down process additionally or alternatively at the beginning of the program step drying T.
Bei dem Spülprogramm gemäß
Um die Reinigungswirkung durch eine weitere Erhöhung der Temperatur zu steigern, kann eine weitere Phase P3 (vgl.
Um das Trocknungsergebnis am Ende des Programmschritts Trocknen T zu verbessern, ist bei den Ausführungsbeispielen gemäß den
