Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Durchführung eines Spülprogramms, in einer Geschirrspülmaschine, bei welcher im Kreislauf in einem unteren Bereich eines Spülbehälters angesammelte Flüssigkeit mittels einer Umwälzpumpe zu Sprüheinrichtungen und von dort über Spülgut gefördert wird, wobei das Spülprogramm mindestens die Programmabschnitte Reinigen und Klarspülen umfasst.The invention relates to a method for carrying out a washing program in a dishwasher, in which in the circuit in a lower portion of a washing container accumulated liquid is conveyed by means of a circulation pump to sprayers and from there on items to be washed, wherein the washing program comprises at least the program sections cleaning and rinsing.
Eine Geschirrspülmaschine nach dem Stand der Technik besitzt einen in einem Gehäuse angeordneten Spülbehälter, welcher über eine mittels einer Tür verschließbare Beschickungsöffnung zugänglich ist. Innerhalb des Spülbehälters sind Körbe angeordnet, welche zu spülende Spülgüter aufnehmen. Zur Durchführung eines Spülprogramms wird in den Spülbehälter Wasser eingebracht, gegebenenfalls mit Spülzusätzen versehen als Spülflüssigkeit mittels einer Umwälzpumpe im Kreislauf umgewälzt und dabei über das Spülgut gefördert. Die Geschirrspülmaschine weist im Bodenbereich des Spülbehälters einen Sammeltopf auf, welcher über einen Ansaugstutzen mit der Umwälzpumpe verbunden ist. Die Umwälzpumpe fördert in einem Kreislauf über Druckstutzen die Spülflüssigkeit zu innerhalb des Spülbehälters angeordneten Sprüheinrichtungen, von dort regnet die Spülflüssigkeit auf das Spülgut, tropft ab und läuft wieder in den Sammeltopf. Im Folgenden wird ein solcher Kreislauf als üblicher Umwälzbetrieb bezeichnet. Innerhalb des Kreislaufs ist eine Heizeinrichtung angeordnet, welche die Spülflüssigkeit in bestimmten Programmabschnitten erwärmt.A dishwashing machine according to the prior art has a washing container arranged in a housing, which is accessible via a loading opening which can be closed by means of a door. Within the washing baskets are arranged, which receive rinse items to be rinsed. To carry out a rinsing program, water is introduced into the rinsing container, optionally provided with rinsing additives, circulated as rinsing liquid by means of a circulating pump in the circulation, and conveyed via the items to be washed. The dishwasher has in the bottom region of the washing container to a collecting pot, which is connected via an intake with the circulation pump. The circulating pump promotes the rinsing liquid in a circuit via discharge nozzle to within the rinsing container arranged sprayers, from there the rinsing liquid rains on the items to be washed, drips off and runs back into the collecting pot. Hereinafter, such a circuit is referred to as conventional circulation operation. Within the circuit, a heating device is arranged, which heats the rinsing liquid in certain program sections.
Ein Spülprogramm nach dem Stand der Technik umfasst mehrere Programmschritte, gegebenenfalls ein Vorspülen, ein Reinigen, ein Zwischenspülen, ein Klarspülen und gegebenenfalls ein Trocknen. Beim Reinigen wird das Wasser mit einem Spülmittel vermischt, erwärmt und das Spülgut damit beaufschlagt. Ein nachfolgendes Zwischenspülen hat die Aufgabe, innerhalb der Geschirrspülmaschine verbliebene Spülflüssigkeit, die sich aus Wasser, Spülmittel und Schmutzbestandteilen zusammensetzt, aus der Geschirrspülmaschine auszubringen. Dabei wird nach dem Entleeren der Flüssigkeit im Programmabschnitt Reinigen zum Beginn des Zwischenspülens neues Frischwasser eingefüllt und im Umwälzkreislauf auf das Spülgut gebracht. Eine Erwärmung der Flüssigkeit erfolgt im Zwischenspülen in der Regel nicht. Im nachfolgenden Klarspülen wird erneut eingefülltes Frischwasser mit Klarspülmittel versetzt, und dann wie im Reinigen erwärmt über das Spülgut verteilt.A prior art rinse program comprises several program steps, optionally pre-rinsing, cleaning, intermediate rinsing, rinsing and optionally drying. When cleaning the water is mixed with a detergent, heated and applied to the dishes. Subsequent intermediate rinsing has the task of dispensing rinsing liquid remaining within the dishwasher, which is composed of water, dishwashing liquid and dirt constituents, out of the dishwasher. In this case, after the liquid has been emptied in the program section cleaning, new fresh water is introduced at the beginning of the intermediate flushing and brought to the washware in the circulation cycle. Heating of the liquid usually does not take place in the intermediate rinse. In the subsequent rinsing fresh water filled with rinse aid is added, and then distributed as heated in the cleaning over the dishes.
Ein Nachteil des bekannten Zwischenspül-Programmabschnitts besteht darin, dass sowohl der Spülbehälter als auch das Spülgut im Zwischenspülen abgekühlt werden. Hierdurch geht die durch das Besprühen mit heißer Flüssigkeit im Reinigen gespeicherte Wärmekapazität wenigstens teilweise verloren. Dies ist von Nachteil, da diese Wärmemenge für die anschließende Erwärmung der Flüssigkeit beim Klarspülen wieder aufgebracht werden muss. Ein weiterer Nachteil resultiert aus der im Zwischenspülen verbrauchten Wassermenge.A disadvantage of the known intermediate rinsing program section is that both the rinsing container and the items to be washed are cooled in the intermediate rinsing. This is possible the heat capacity stored by the spraying with hot liquid in the cleaning lost at least partially. This is disadvantageous because this amount of heat must be reapplied to the subsequent heating of the liquid during rinsing. Another disadvantage results from the amount of water consumed in the intermediate rinse.
Der Erfindung stellt sich somit das Problem, ein Verfahren zur Durchführung eines Spülprogramms der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend zu verbessern, dass aufgewendete Ressourcen wie Heizenergie und Wasser eingespart werden.The invention thus raises the problem of improving a method for carrying out a rinsing program of the type mentioned at the outset such that resources used, such as heating energy and water, are saved.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem durch ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden Unteransprüchen.According to the invention, this problem is solved by a method having the features of
Die mit der Erfindung erreichbaren Vorteile ergeben sich dadurch, dass am Ende des Programmabschnitts Reinigen eine Abtropfpause durchgeführt wird, bei welcher eine Umwälzung von Flüssigkeit unterbleibt, dass nach der Abtropfpause die Spülflüssigkeit aus dem Spülbehälter entleert wird, und dass im Anschluss an das Entleeren der Programmabschnitt Klarspülen durchgeführt wird. Durch das Weglassen des herkömmlichen Zwischenspülens wird einerseits das dafür verwendete Wasser eingespart. Andererseits folgen zwei Programmabschnitte mit erwärmter Flotte aufeinander, dadurch kann die beim Reinigen vom Spülbehälter und vom Geschirr gespeicherte Wärmeenergie im Klarspülen auf das frisch zugeführte Wasser übertragen werden. So wird die zum Aufheizen der Flotte notwendige Energie verringert. Die Entfernung von Spülflüssigkeit, die sich aus Wasser, Spülmittel und Schmutzbestandteilen zusammensetzt und teilweise am Spülgut haften bleibt, wird zufriedenstellend durch die Abtropfpause gewährleistet. Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn eine solche Abtropfpause mindestens eine Minute dauert. In dieser Zeit kann ein nennenswerter Anteil an Restspülflüssigkeit vom Spülgut entfernt werden. Versuche bei Haushaltsgeschirrspülmaschinen haben gezeigt, dass eine Abtropfpause zwischen zwei und drei Minuten optimale Ergebnisse erzielt.The achievable with the invention advantages result from the fact that at the end of the program section cleaning a drip pause is performed in which a circulation of liquid is omitted, that after the drip purging the rinsing liquid is emptied from the washing, and that following the emptying of the program section Rinsing is performed. By omitting the conventional intermediate rinsing, on the one hand, the water used for it is saved. On the other hand, two program sections with heated liquor follow each other, thereby the heat energy stored in the cleaning of the washing container and the dishes can be transferred to the freshly supplied water in the final rinse. This reduces the energy needed to heat up the fleet. The removal of rinsing liquid, which is composed of water, detergent and dirt components and partially adhering to the items to be washed, is ensured satisfactory by the draining pause. It is advantageous if such a drip interval lasts at least one minute. During this time, a considerable proportion of residual rinsing liquid can be removed from the items to be washed. Tests on household dishwashers have shown that a draining pause between two and three minutes achieves optimal results.
Dabei ist es besonders vorteilhaft, wenn der Spülflüssigkeit im Programmabschnitt Reinigen vor der Abtropfpause Klarspüler zudosiert wird. Hierdurch wird die Menge an Restspülflüssigkeit, die vom Spülgut abtropft, verdreifacht. Es ist zweckmäßig, wenn die im Programmabschnitt Reinigen zudosierte Klarspülermenge wenigstens annähernd der Menge entspricht, welche im Programmabschnitt Klarspülen verwendet wird. Größere Mengen an Klarspüler verbessern zwar das Abtropfverhalten geringfügig, erhöhen dafür aber die Kosten für ein Spülprogramm und belasten das Abwasser stärker. Eine bessere Durchmischung der Reinigungsflotte mit Klarspüler wird erreicht, wenn nach dem Dosieren des Klarspülers im Programmabschnitt Reinigen wenigstens für eine kurze Zeit der Umwälzbetrieb fortgesetzt wird.It is particularly advantageous if the rinsing liquid is dosed in the program section cleaning before rinsing break rinse aid. As a result, the amount of residual rinse liquid that drips from the items to be washed, triples. It is expedient if the amount of rinse aid added in the program section cleaning at least approximately corresponds to the amount which is used in the program section rinsing. Although larger amounts of rinse aid slightly improve the dripping behavior, they increase the costs of a rinse program and increase the load on the waste water. A better mixing of the cleaning liquor with rinse aid is achieved if, after dosing the rinse aid in the program section cleaning at least for a short time, the circulation operation is continued.
Es ist auch von Vorteil, wenn vor dem Dosieren des Klarspülers im Programmabschnitt Reinigen ein Teil der Spülflüssigkeit aus dem Spülbehälter entleert wird. Dadurch wird der Klarspüleranteil in der Reinigungsflotte erhöht. Es ist zweckmäßig, wenn die entleerte Menge an Spülflüssigkeit zwischen 20% und 30% der im Spülbehälter befindlichen Gesamtmenge beträgt.It is also advantageous if a portion of the rinsing liquid is emptied from the washing container before dosing the rinse aid in the program section cleaning. As a result, the rinse aid content in the cleaning liquor is increased. It is expedient if the emptied amount of rinsing liquid is between 20% and 30% of the total amount present in the rinsing container.
Um ein Ansaugen von Luft durch die Umwälzpumpe zu verhindern, kann nach dem Entleeren der Teilmenge an Spülflüssigkeit für den weiteren Umwälzbetrieb die Drehzahl der Umwälzpumpe reduziert werden.In order to prevent suction of air through the circulation pump, the speed of the circulating pump can be reduced after emptying the subset of rinsing liquid for further circulation.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung rein schematisch dargestellt und wird nachfolgend näher beschrieben.An embodiment of the invention is shown purely schematically in the drawing and will be described in more detail below.
Weitere Vorteile und Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung. Dabei zeigt die Figur schematisch einen Querschnitt durch eine Geschirrspülmaschine.Further advantages and features of the invention will become apparent from the following description. The figure shows schematically a cross section through a dishwasher.
Die Figur zeigt eine Geschirrspülmaschine 1. Innerhalb der Geschirrspülmaschine 1 ist ein Spülbehälter 2 angeordnet, an welchen sich bodenseitig ein Sammeltopf 3 anschließt. Im Spülbehälter 2 sind zwei Körbe 5 und 6 und eine Besteckschublade 7 angeordnet, welche zur Aufnahme von nicht dargestelltem Spülgut dienen. Der Spülbehälter 2 ist über eine Beschickungsöffnung der Geschirrspülmaschine 1 von außerhalb zugänglich, wobei die Beschickungsöffnung mittels einer nicht dargestellten Tür fluiddicht verschließbar ist.The figure shows a
Die Geschirrspülmaschine 1 weist einen Wassereinlass 14 und einen Flüssigkeitsauslass 15 auf. Der Einlass 14 steht in Fluidverbindung mit einer nicht gezeigten Frischwasserquelle. Der Auslass 15 kann eine ebenfalls nicht gezeigte Entleerungspumpe aufweisen, welche geeignet ist, Flüssigkeit aus dem Spülbehälter 2 auszubringen. Alternativ kann die Entleerung des Spülbehälters über ein Ventil (nicht dargestellt) mittels Schwerkraft erfolgen.The
Im Sammeltopf 3 sammelt sich das in den Spülbehälter 2 eingebrachte Spülwasser. Der Sammeltopf 3 ist mittels eines Ansaugstutzens 11 mit einer Umwälzpumpe 4 fluidtechnisch verbunden. Die Umwälzpumpe 4 weist einen oder mehrere Auslässe 20, 21 und 22 auf, mittels welcher in einem Umwälzbetrieb drei Sprüheinrichtungen, beispielsweise drehbare Sprüheinrichtungen 8, 9 und 10 mit Flüssigkeit beaufschlagbar sind. Zur Verteilung auf einzelne Sprüheinrichtungen kann die Umwälzpumpe 4 auch eine nicht dargestellte Wasserweiche umfassen. Mit einer solchen Geschirrspülmaschine wird das nachfolgend beschriebene erfindungsgemäße Verfahren durchgeführt:
- Im Programmabschnitt Reinigen, dem gegebenenfalls ein Programmabschnitt Vorspülen vorgeschaltet sein kann, wird dem Spülbehälter etwa vier Liter Frischwasser zugeführt, mit Reinigungsmittel gemischt und mittels der Umwälzpumpe zu den Sprüheinrichtungen gefördert. Die Dosierung des Reinigungsmittels kann durch ein nicht dargestelltes Kombidosiergerät (siehe beispielsweise
DE 102 09 467 A1
- In the program section cleaning, which may optionally be preceded by a program section prewash, the washing container is supplied to about four liters of fresh water, mixed with detergent and by means of the circulation pump to the spray promoted. The dosage of the cleaning agent can by an unillustrated Kombidosiergerät (see, for example
DE 102 09 467 A1
Demzufolge kann bei einem solchen Programm auch das Teilentleeren unterbleiben. Anschließend wird eine Abtropfpause ohne Umwälzbetrieb durchgeführt. Die Pause dauert mindestens eine Minute, besser zwischen zwei und drei Minuten. Versuche haben gezeigt, dass insbesondere eine Pause von zweieinhalb Minuten optimal ist, um das Spülgut nahezu vollständig von Spülflüssigkeitsresten zu befreien. Im Anschluss an die Abtropfpause wird der Spülbehälter entleert und das Reinigen ist beendet.Consequently, in such a program, the partial emptying can be omitted. Subsequently, a drip break is performed without circulation operation. The break lasts at least one minute, better between two and three minutes. Experiments have shown that in particular a break of two and a half minutes is optimal in order to almost completely free the items to be washed from rinsing liquid. Following the drip break, the rinse tank is emptied and cleaning is completed.
Es schließt sich der Programmabschnitt Klarspülen an, in dem wie beim Stand der Technik bekannt dem Spülbehälter Frischwasser zugeführt, Klarspüler zudosiert und die Spülflüssigkeit während des Umwälzbetriebs auf eine Temperatur zwischen 65°C und 70°C aufgeheizt wird.This is followed by the program section rinsing, in which, as known in the prior art, the rinse tank is supplied with fresh water, rinse aid is metered in, and the rinse liquid is heated to a temperature between 65 ° C. and 70 ° C. during the circulation operation.
