Definitions

  • the invention relates to an automatic dishwasher with a rinsing container and a steam condenser, wherein the rinsing container provides a rinsing arm, which is in fluid communication with the steam condenser, for which purpose the rinsing container has an outlet opening and the steam condenser has a corresponding inlet opening, wherein the rinsing space-side cover of the outlet opening a splash guard is provided.
  • Dishwashers of the type mentioned are well known in the art. They have a rinsing tank and a steam condenser.
  • the rinsing container provides a rinsing room, which serves in the intended use of receiving items to be washed.
  • the steam condenser is in fluid communication with the washing compartment. For this purpose, an outlet opening is provided on the rinsing container side and an inlet opening corresponding to this outlet opening is provided on the steam condenser side. In the final assembled state, steam can be transferred from the washing compartment into the steam condenser, where steam condensation then takes place.
  • the outlet opening of the washing container is equipped with a splash guard.
  • This splash guard has the task of sealing the flushing chamber with respect to the steam condenser so that no or as little as possible rinsing water can get out of the flushing chamber into the steam condensation.
  • interlocking lid which form a labyrinth, so that the spray arms of the dishwasher splashed water can not or only very difficult to find the way through the outlet opening in the steam condenser.
  • a dishwasher according to the preamble of claim 1 is made EP 1 127 532 A2 known.
  • the splash guard must meet two conflicting requirements.
  • the openings provided by the splash guard must be dimensioned as small as possible so that the least possible rinsing solution can find a way into the steam condenser in an undesired manner.
  • the spray protectors known from the prior art can be improved.
  • a dishwashing machine of the type mentioned is proposed with the invention, which is characterized in that the splash guard has a labyrinth arrangement and a lid carried by the labyrinth arrangement, wherein the labyrinth arrangement has a first and a second ring, wherein the rings are arranged concentrically and leaving a gap in the thickness direction spaced from each other, wherein the rings are connected to each other by means of common ribs, which ribs are at least partially aligned with respect to their longitudinal extent deviating from the radial direction of the rings.
  • a spray guard for an automatic dishwasher with a labyrinth arrangement and a lid supported by the labyrinth arrangement, the labyrinth arrangement has a first and a second ring, wherein the rings are concentric and leaving a gap in the thickness direction to solve the object mentioned above spaced apart from each other are arranged, wherein the rings are connected to each other by means of common ribs, which ribs are at least partially aligned with respect to their longitudinal extent deviating from the radial direction of the rings.
  • the peculiarity of the construction according to the invention lies in the design of the two rings of the labyrinth arrangement on the one hand and the ribs interconnecting the rings on the other hand.
  • the rings are spaced apart leaving a gap in the thickness direction. In this way, an annular gap is created which, in contrast to the prior art, provides an enlarged opening for the purpose of conveying drying air with the least possible pressure loss and for the purpose of extracting steam.
  • the ribs interconnecting the rings serve as a flow obstruction for rinsing fluid to be retained by the splash guard.
  • the construction according to the invention makes it possible to create a relatively large opening area, which makes it possible to convey as much steam as possible from the washing space into the steam condenser within a short period of time.
  • the construction according to the invention ensures that, despite the large opening area for the purpose of steam transfer in Spülrauminneren on the spray arms discharged spray water is securely retained and rinse liquor is not unintentionally transferred from the washing compartment in the steam condenser.
  • the air flow in the drying operation - for optimum drying a volume flow of air of 75 m 3 / h has been found to be low - only experiences a comparatively moderate flow resistance.
  • the outer diameter of the second ring also called inner ring
  • the inner diameter of the outer ring that is, the first ring.
  • the splash guard has a connection flange for the purpose of connection to the steam condenser and / or the flushing arm.
  • This connecting flange may be provided by the second ring, that is the inner ring. It is preferably located on the side facing away from the first ring back of the second ring.
  • the connecting flange may have a threaded portion, a bayonet lock or the like, whereby it is allowed to lock the splash guard with a corresponding counterpart, which is provided, for example, the outlet opening side of the Spülraums or inlet opening side of the steam condenser.
  • the splash guard carries front side in the final assembled state a lid. This serves to prevent a direct flow through the splash guard, that is to ensure that a proper flow through the splash guard can only be done by the provided for this purpose by the splash guard labyrinth arrangement.
  • a connecting piece carried by a plurality of the ribs according to a feature of the invention.
  • the ribs may be sickle-shaped according to a first alternative. They therefore have a section which is aligned in the radial direction of the rings. A second section of the ribs is due to the crescent-shaped configuration deviating from the radial direction of the rings, so that the overall result is that the ribs are at least partially aligned with respect to their longitudinal extent deviating from the radial direction of the rings.
  • the ribs may also be designed as straight webs.
  • the orientation of the webs is selected so that the ribs as a whole, that is not only partially aligned differently from the radial direction of the rings.
  • the splash guard 1 has a labyrinth arrangement 2 and a lid 3.
  • the FIGS. 1 to 5 let recognize in different views the labyrinth arrangement 2.
  • FIG. 6 shows a schematic perspective view of the lid. 3
  • FIG. 7 finally, in a schematic, partially sectioned side view, can recognize an installation situation illustrated by way of example.
  • the labyrinth assembly 2 has a first ring 4, the so-called outer ring. There is also a second ring 5, the so-called inner ring provided.
  • the first ring 4 and the second ring 5 in the thickness direction 13, leaving a gap spaced from each other.
  • This gap is formed circumferentially and can be referred to as annular gap 11.
  • the outer diameter of the second ring 5, that is, the inner ring is smaller than the inner diameter of the first ring 4, that is, the outer ring.
  • the first ring 4 and the second ring 5 are aligned concentrically with one another, as can be seen in particular from the illustrations according to FIGS FIGS. 1 and 2 results.
  • the rings 4 and 5 are connected to each other by means of common ribs 6.
  • This factual relationship arises in particular from the representations according to Figures 2 and 5 ,
  • the ribs 6 are at least partially aligned with respect to their longitudinal extent deviating from the radial direction of the rings 4 and 5. In the embodiment shown, this is achieved in that the ribs 6 are formed sickle-shaped.
  • the labyrinth assembly 2 For the purpose of connecting the labyrinth assembly 2 with the lid 3, the labyrinth assembly 2 carries a connector 8. This is supported by a plurality of ribs 6, for which purpose ribs 6 are provided which support a rib extension 7, which in turn open into the connector 8 , Im shown Embodiment has in the circumferential direction every second rib 6 via such a rib extension 7th
  • the connecting piece 8 provides a bore 9 ready. This can be designed as Gewindeborhung.
  • the cover 3 is formed with a hole 9 corresponding to the bore 10.
  • the lid 3 is screwed to the labyrinth assembly 2, for example, for which purpose a screw passed through the bore 10 of the lid 3 and screwed into the bore 9 formed as a threaded bore of the connecting piece 8 of the labyrinth assembly 2.
  • the labyrinth assembly 2 has a connecting flange 12.
  • This connecting flange 12 is in the illustrated embodiment by the second ring 5, that is, the inner ring worn, on its the rear side facing away from the first ring 4, as can be seen in particular from the illustration FIG. 2 results.
