Description
- The present invention refers to a multistage rinsing module for tunnel dishwashers and to a tunnel dishwasher that is provided with such a module.
- In particular, the present invention refers to a multistage rinsing module for tunnel dishwashers that is capable of carrying out a preliminary pre-rinsing cycle before the final rinsing of the dishes.
- By the term "dishes" we mean plates, cutlery and glasses, as generally understood, but also sauce-pans, containers, kitchen utensils and other similar objects. Furthermore, for the sake of simplicity, by the term "dishes" we shall also mean the mobile means which support the aforementioned dishes during their forward movement in the dishwasher.
- In such a way also such supports shall be effectively washed and rinsed by the multistage rinsing module according to the present invention.
- By the term "tunnel" machine we mean all those dishwashers in which the dishes are moved so as to go, in succession, through a plurality of operation steps such as the pre-washing, washing, pre-rinsing and final rinsing steps.
- One example of a tunnel dishwasher of the known type is shown in
figure 1 in whichreference numerals - As visible the
rinsing station 104 comprises twosubstations - In the case in which there are no problems of length of the machines, inside the
rinsing station 104 downstream of thewashing station 103 and immediately upstream of thepre-rinsing zone 105, aneutral zone 107 is provided, visible infigure 2 , which is useful for draining the water "with detergent" from the dishes. - In other words, before the dishes enter the
pre-rinsing zone 105 they stop, or transit, in such adraining zone 107 where, spontaneously by gravity, part of the water "with detergent" from the dishes is released. - Currently, it is the common goal of many manufacturers, as well as the purpose of the present invention, to study new solutions that are capable of reducing the consumption of water drawn from the net used in the final rinsing step of the dishes.
- Indeed, advantageously, by decreasing the amount of water used there is also a corresponding substantial saving in terms of energy used for heating it, as well as a lower consumption of detergents and rinse aid.
- A first solution proposed for such a purpose is described for example in patent
EP1815779 . - In such a patent it is foreseen for the water that is used for the pre-rinsing to be, at least partially, the same water used in the previous rinsing cycle.
- Indeed in such machines there is a collection tank of the water used for rinsing, or rather heated net water with rinse aid added to it, which is re-used in the preceding pre-rinsing step for removing most of the detergent from the dishes before their final rinsing, by means of "new" net water.
- Such a method of re-using water in the pre-rinsing step that was previously used for rinsing allows to significantly reduce the consumption of water from the net and, therefore, also the consumption related to energy, detergent and rinse aid.
- In parallel with the efforts aimed at reducing consumption of net water used for rinsing dishes, it is however necessary to safeguard the overall efficiency of the washing cycle.
- For such a purpose
EP1815779 has the drawback of conveying the solutions delivered by many nozzles, for example those for rinsing and those for pre-rinsing, in the same tank thus making the independent analysis of the various rinsing steps present in the dishwasher difficult. - Patent application
WO10144307 - In particular, such sensors are connected to a control unit which controls a possible increase of detergent in the washing step, wherein said increase is a function of some parameters measured in the collection tank.
- In
WO10144307 -
DE4100164 discloses another example of a multistage tunnel dishwasher according to the prior art. - The purpose of the present invention is that of making a multistage rinsing module for tunnel dishwashers that is capable of solving, in a different manner with respect to the prior art, the problems relative to the decreasing of the consumption of net water without jeopardising the overall efficiency of the washing cycle.
- These purposes according to the present invention are achieved by making a multistage rinsing module for tunnel dishwashers and a tunnel dishwasher provided with such a module as outlined in claims, 1 and 9, respectively.
- Further characteristics of the invention are highlighted in the dependent claims.
- The characteristics and the advantages of a multistage rinsing module for tunnel dishwashers according to the present invention shall become clearer from the following description, given as an example and not for limiting purposes, with reference to the attached schematic drawings, in which:
-
figures 1 and2 are schematic views of tunnel dishwashers according to the prior art; -
figure 3 is a schematic view of a multistage rinsing module for tunnel dishwashers according to the present invention; -
figure 4 is a schematic view of a tunnel dishwasher that is provided with the multistage rinsing module offigure 3 . - With reference to
figures 3 and4 ,reference numeral 10 shows one embodiment of a multistage rinsing module for tunnel dishwashers according to the present invention. Such a module ormultistage rinsing station 10 comprises in succession from upstream to downstream following the movement of the dishes three independent zones: adraining zone 11 of the dishes full of detergent, apre-rinsing zone 12 of the drained dishes and afinal rinsing zone 13 of the drained and pre-rinsed dishes, respectively. - The
final rinsing zone 13 is provided with rinsingnozzles 14 for deliveringnet water 15 and apre-rinsing tank 18 for exclusively collecting thenet water 15 delivered by therinsing nozzles 14. - The
pre-rinsing zone 12 is provided withpre-rinsing nozzles 16 for delivering thepre-rinsing solution 17 collected in thepre-rinsing tank 18. - The
pre-rinsing solution 17 therefore consists of thenet water 15 used in the preceding cycle during the rinsing step and the substances removed from the rinsed dishes. - The
pre-rinsing zone 12 is also provided with adraining tank 21 for exclusively collecting thepre-rinsing solution 17 delivered by thepre-rinsing nozzles 16. - The
draining solution 21 contained in thedraining tank 21 thus consists of thepre-rinsing solution 17 used in the preceding cycle during the pre-rinsing step and the substances removed from the pre-rinsed dishes. - In the previous paragraph, like in the rest of the description, for the sake of clarity, the word "cycle" is used to indicate all the actions which are carried out in succession on the dishes from when they are introduced to when they come out from the machine. However, it is worth clarifying that it is not an actual cycle but rather a series of operations that are carried out in succession, in different work stations or modules, on moving dishes.
- In particular, according to the invention, the
draining zone 11 is not a passive zone in which there is no forced rinsing action on the stopped or transiting dishes, but rather, contrary to the current state of the art, it is provided with drainingnozzles 19 for delivering the previously described drainingsolution 20 collected in adraining tank 21. - In other words such draining
nozzles 19 are configured so as to create a jet having speed, flow-rate, nebulization characteristics such as to generate the drawing of water with detergent present on the dishes, thus amplifying the draining effect which would otherwise occur only through gravity or by simple dilution. - Such a
draining solution 21, as already mentioned, consists of thepre-rinsing solution 17 used in the preceding pre-rinsing cycle and of the substances removed from the pre-rinsed dishes. - The
draining zone 11 is moreover provided with adischarge tank 31 for exclusively collecting thedraining solution 20 delivered by the drainingnozzles 19 and connected to thenet 32 for discharging thedischarge solution 30 collected in it. - As visible in
figure 3 , everyzone barrier elements tanks - Such an embodiment offers an alternative solution to that described in
EP18715779 - On the contrary, since the invention foresees independent separate tanks, it is possible to independently control the single zones of the rinsing station, thus being able to selectively act upon the net delivery or on the
pumps - Moreover, another special aspect of the invention consists in the fact that the
discharge tank 31 in which the solution delivered by the drainingnozzles 19 is collected does not foresee any return delivery to other nozzles but only the total or partial discharge to the net. - This, differently from what is foreseen in
EP18715779 draining nozzles 19 is not suitable for obtaining a "dilution" of the solution present on the dishes, but an actual mechanical action that forces the draining through jets of solution at high speed and flow-rate. - In fact the flow-rate delivered by the draining
nozzles 19 is greater than that of theremaining nozzles - Therefore, since the mechanical action of forcing the draining occurs at high speed and flow-rate of the solution, according to the present invention it is not provided for the control of the
discharge solution 31 collected in thedischarge tank 30 since it is in fact intended only for being discharged and not for being re-used in the rinsing module. - On the contrary, since
EP18715779 - As shown, the
module 10 also comprises warming means 22, such as a boiler, for warming thenet water 15, apre-rinsing pump 23 that is connected to thepre-rinsing tank 18 for the delivery of apre-rinsing solution 17 under pressure to thepre-rinsing nozzles 16 and a drainingpump 24 connected to the drainingtank 21 for the delivery in pressure of the drainingsolution 20 to the drainingnozzles 19. - Further warming means can also be foreseen acting on the solution contained in the
draining tank 21 and/or in thepre-rinsing tank 18. - As mentioned previously, the independence of the
zones - For such a purpose, according to the present invention, a different retroactive control system is foreseen obtained with sensors for measuring the properties of the draining 21 and pre-rinsing 17 solutions.
- Such sensors are indeed connected to a unit for controlling the delivery of the
net water 15 and of thepumps nozzles - For example, in the case in which there is an increase in the flow of dishes with detergent, with consequent increase of the provision of detergent and of other pollutants in the
tanks 20 and/or 17, in order to ensure a correct rinsing, the control unit, when indicated by the aforementioned sensors, controls an increase of the amount of cleannet water 15 so as to ensure a correct final rinsing. - On the other hand, when the movement of dishes with detergent decreases, with the consequent decrease in the flow of detergent present in the
tanks 20 and/or 17, the control unit, when indicated by the aforementioned sensors, controls a decrease in the amount of cleannet water 15 delivered for rinsing with relative saving in terms of energy consumption and rinse aid consumption. - In a complementary manner it can also be provided for a control of the forward movement of the dishes according to the values measured in the
tanks 20 and/or 17. - As a control parameter it is possible to select at least one of the following indexes, or rather the Ph, the conductivity and/or turbidity of the draining 21 and pre-rinsing 17 solutions.
- Furthermore, it can be foreseen for there to be means for controlling also the state of the
net water 15 in inlet to themodule 10, thus excluding variables due to the change over time of the characteristics of the net water. - Again, in order to ensure an effective rinsing, it can also be provided for level sensors of the solutions contained in the draining 21 and pre-rinsing 18 tanks connected to a unit for controlling further delivery of the
net water 15 in the case in which the levels detected are below threshold values that have been determined a priori or that can be determined each time according to the cases. - It is very simple to understand how a multistage rinsing module for tunnel dishwashers according to the present invention, object of the invention, operates. During the
pre-rinsing step 12 of the drained dishes apre-rinsing solution 17 is used comprising thenet water 15 used in the preceding rinsing cycle and the substances removed from the rinsed dishes. - During the
draining step 11, an active step according to the present invention, adraining solution 20 is delivered comprising thepre-rinsing solution 17 used in the preceding pre-rinsing cycle and the substances removed from the pre-rinsed dishes. - It is clear how in such a way it is possible to reduce the amount of
net water 15 to be used during the rinsing with consequent saving of energy. - Moreover, by means of pH sensors foreseen in the
tanks net water 15 without jeopardising the overall efficiency of the washing cycle. - It has thus been seen that a multistage rinsing module for tunnel dishwashers according to the present invention achieves the purposes previously highlighted. Indeed, the multistage rinsing module for tunnel dishwashers according to the present invention makes it possible to reduce the consumption of net water in the rinsing step without jeopardising the overall efficiency of the washing cycle by integrating an active step of the rinsing station into the natural draining step.
- The multistage rinsing module for tunnel dishwashers according to the present invention and the tunnel dishwasher provided with such a module thus conceived may undergo numerous modifications and variants, all covered by the same inventive concept, as defined by the appended claims; moreover, all the details can be replaced by technically equivalent elements. In practice, the materials used, as well as their dimensions, may be any according to the technical requirements.
