Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dishwasher, in particular in the embodiment as a domestic dishwasher, with a washing compartment providing a washing container, which serves to receive items to be cleaned, wherein sprayers are arranged within the washing container for loading the items to be washed with rinsing.
  • Dishwashers of the type mentioned are well known in the art. They have a rinsing container which provides a rinsing container which, in the intended use, serves to receive items to be cleaned. For loading the washing container with items to be washed is a feed opening, which is fluid-tightly closed by means of a pivotally mounted dish door.
  • spray arms For loading of items to be cleaned with rinse liquor arranged within the washing spray, which is usually rotatable about spray arms are used. These are supplied with rinsing fluid via a circulation pump. Depending on the configuration of the dishwasher, preferably two or three such spray arms are provided.
  • Spülgutkörbe For receiving the items to be cleaned typically Spülgutkörbe are used. These can be moved on the user side out of the washing compartment provided by the washing compartment of the automatic dishwasher for the purpose of simplified loading. It then takes place outside of the dishwasher, a loading of Spülgutkörbe with dishes instead. After a successful placement of Spülgutkörbe these can be moved back on the user side in the dishwasher. Once the feed opening is closed by means of the designated Spülraumt, a rinse program can be started for the intended cleaning of the items.
  • Each of the wash ware baskets is typically assigned a spraying device in the embodiment of a rotatably mounted spray arm. Accordingly, a dishwasher equipped with two items to be washed has preferably two spray arms.
  • a dishwasher with a spraying device is known in which a plurality of sprays are deflected by annular impact elements.
  • not all spraying devices arranged within the washing container are rotatably mounted spray arms. It is inventively rather provided that at least one of the spray is designed as a baffle.
  • the impact nozzle provided according to the invention has two baffles, which in the loading direction, i. are arranged in the direction of the feed of the baffle with rinsing liquor one behind the other.
  • the first baffle plate is used to generate a first spray cone
  • the second baffle plate is used to generate a second spray cone.
  • the invention may also be provided more than just two baffles, in which case, in accordance with the number of used baffles form a corresponding number of spray cones.
  • the spraying device arranged at the top in the height direction of the dishwashing machine as a baffle nozzle.
  • the remaining spray devices can be designed in a conventional manner as rotatably mounted spray arms.
  • the configuration of the spraying device arranged at the top as a baffle nozzle is particularly suitable when the automatic dishwashing machine has a total of three spraying devices.
  • the top sprayer is typically associated with a cutlery drawer.
  • baffle instead of a spray arm overcomes this problem.
  • the corner regions of the associated Spülgutkorbes can be achieved well, whereby an optimized cleaning performance is guaranteed.
  • spray arms known from the prior art consist of a plurality of individual parts. There are typically provided an upper and a lower side, a bearing bush, a sliding ring and two dampers, with which a standard spray arm is formed in six parts. The installation is correspondingly time consuming and expensive.
  • the baffle nozzle according to the invention can be formed as a one-piece plastic component, in contrast to a spray arm. This not only reduces the manufacturing costs, but also the assembly times and, consequently, the costs of assembly. Thus, the inventive design proves not only in the cleaning performance, but also in terms of manufacturing and assembly costs as advantageous.
  • the baffle nozzle according to the invention has two baffle plates arranged in succession in the direction of loading, each of which causes the generation of a spray cone. The result is a double spray cone.
  • the spray jets are characterized as closed water films.
  • each partial volume flow which is provided for charging the lower baffle plate in the feed direction accounts for two to four, preferably three, parts of the volume flow to the baffle plate arranged in the direction of loading.
  • the baffle nozzle according to the invention according to a further feature of the invention has a connection piece.
  • This connection piece is used for arrangement on a supply line opening in the washing compartment of the dishwasher.
  • the connecting piece has an internal thread, which is adapted to correspond to an external thread formed at the end of the supply line.
  • a mounting of the baffle nozzle can be achieved in a simple manner by screwing the connecting piece of the baffle nozzle on the threaded end of the supply line.
  • baffle and / or the supply line locking devices prevent unwanted detachment of the baffle from the supply line.
  • the connecting piece of the baffle has according to a further feature of the invention via a passage opening.
  • the flushing liquor discharged from the supply line flows through this passage opening.
  • the passage opening provided by the connecting piece is dimensioned accordingly, wherein it is preferably provided, the inner diameter of the supply line and the passage opening of the connecting piece approximately the same size, at least not the passage opening so much smaller than the inner diameter form the supply line, that there is a significant increase in the speed of the rinsing liquor in an influx of the dispensed from the supply line rinsing water in the baffle.
  • the baffle nozzle has a first baffle plate, which is arranged leaving a gap gap spaced from the connection piece.
  • the first baffle plate is preferably flat.
  • a first volume flow exits via the gap between the connecting piece and the first baffle plate, which forms a first spray cone in the spray pattern. Due to the preferably flat formed baffle this results in a first spray cone with a comparatively far reaching spray pattern that extends into the corners of an associated Spülgutkorbes.
  • the gap between the first baffle plate and the connecting piece is dimensioned in its width in such a way that, in the intended use, it does not cause the rinsing liquor, which forms the first spray cone, to be torn off. Water film comes.
  • a web arrangement For the purpose of the spaced arrangement of the first baffle plate on the connecting piece a web arrangement is provided.
  • This web arrangement can have a plurality of individual webs, which leave a sufficiently large free space between them, via which the rinsing fluid conveyed into the baffle nozzle can emerge to form the first spray cone.
  • a web arrangement which has, for example, three webs, a star-shaped configuration of the webs is preferred. Instead of three webs but can also be provided two or four webs.
  • the first baffle plate has a throughflow opening, which is formed in alignment with the passage opening of the connecting piece. About this flow opening of the first baffle plate enters a partial volume flow of the introduced into the baffle rinse to the second baffle plate.
  • the quantitative distribution of the rinsing liquor on the first and the second baffle plate largely determined by the ratio of the diameter of the passage opening on the one hand and the flow opening on the other. It is preferred to dimension the flow opening of the first baffle plate in the diameter smaller than the passage opening of the connecting piece. As a consequence, a larger partial volume is directed to the first baffle than to the second baffle.
  • the above-mentioned distribution ratios are preferred.
  • the flow-through opening on the connection piece side has a peripheral paragraph edge. This is preferably formed sloping in the direction of the outer edge of the baffle plate.
  • the second baffle plate is according to a further feature of the invention, leaving a second gap space spaced from the first baffle plate formed.
  • the impinging on the second baffle plate partial flow is discharged through this second gap space in the direction of the associated Spülgutkorbes.
  • a second spray cone forms, which, together with the first spray cone caused by the first baffle plate, forms the overall spray pattern of the baffle nozzle.
  • the second baffle plate is preferably cone-shaped. In this case, its effective surface is in the direction of the flow opening of the first baffle plate aligned. In contrast to the first baffle plate, which is formed substantially flat, causes the second baffle plate thus a much stronger trained spray cone. The middle region of the baffle associated Spülgutkorbes is achieved.
  • the second baffle plate is arranged spaced from the first baffle plate with the interposition of a web arrangement.
  • the second baffle plate is preferably formed integrally with the first baffle plate and the connecting piece. Overall, this results in respect of the impact nozzle a one-piece component. This is preferably formed from a plastic.
  • the invention also proposes a baffle nozzle for connection to a supply line opening out in the washing compartment of an automatic dishwashing machine, namely one with a connecting piece and two baffle plates integrally formed therewith, which are arranged one behind the other in the direction of loading.
  • Fig. 5 can be seen in a schematic representation of a dishwasher 1 according to the prior art.
  • This has a housing 2, which has a Rinsing 4 provides 4 providing rinse tank 3.
  • the rinse tank 3 is used in the intended use of receiving items to be cleaned, for which purpose typically Spülgutkörbe are provided, which are not shown for the sake of clarity in the figures.
  • the washing compartment 4 provided by the washing container 3 is accessible via a charging opening 8. This is by means of a pivotally mounted on the housing 2 Spülraumt 9 fluid-tight closed.
  • spray arms are arranged within the washing, in the embodiment shown a total of three spray arms are provided, namely an upper spray arm 5, a central spray arm 6 and a lower spray arm 7.
  • a total of three spray arms are provided, namely an upper spray arm 5, a central spray arm 6 and a lower spray arm 7.
  • Each of these spray arms 5, 6 and Fig. 7 illustrates a spraying device.
  • the after Fig. 5 provided upper spray arm 5 is also referred to as a so-called “top spray arm” and is typically associated with a wash basket, which serves to receive cutlery, which is why such a wash basket can also be referred to as a cutlery drawer.
  • An automatic dishwasher 1 according to the invention is shown in a schematic representation Fig. 1 , This has, in contrast to the prior art instead of an upper spray arm 5 via a baffle 10. Otherwise, the structure of the automatic dishwasher 1 according to those of the prior art according to Fig. 5 ,
  • baffle 10 is shown in detail in the Figures 2 . 3 and 4 shown.
  • Fig. 2 has the baffle 10 via a connecting piece 11.
  • This connection piece 11 is formed in cross-section U-shaped and provides an annular gap 12 is available.
  • This is equipped with an internal thread 13.
  • the internal thread 13 is formed corresponding to one end of a not shown in the figures supply line external thread. To connect the baffle 10 to the supply line this is with its connection piece 11 end of the supply line to this screwed.
  • a first baffle plate 16 is formed. This is arranged with the interposition of a web arrangement 20 spaced from the connecting piece 11, so that between the connecting piece 11 on the one hand and the first baffle plate 16 on the other hand, a first gap space 18 is formed.
  • a second baffle plate 17 is formed, which is also spaced from each other with the interposition of the web assembly 20 to the first baffle 16, resulting in a second gap 19 between the first baffle 16 and second baffle 17.
  • the connecting piece 11 has an opening 14. Through this passes through the intended use case promoted by a supply line rinsing.
  • the first baffle 16 in turn has a flow opening 21, wherein the flow opening 21 is aligned in the feed direction 15 in alignment with the passage opening 14 of the connecting piece 11.
  • the passage opening 14 is formed larger in diameter than the flow opening 21st
  • connection piece side loading of the baffle 10 with rinse passes through the passage opening 14 to the first baffle plate 16, where a deflection takes place in the first gap 18 between the connecting piece 11 and the first baffle plate 16.
  • the through-flow opening 21 of the first baffle 16 is equipped with a circumferential spacer edge 27 which is designed sloping in the direction of the edge region of the first baffle 16.
  • a partial volume flow of the volumetric flow applied to the impact nozzle 10 flows through the throughflow opening 21 which is formed in the feed direction 15 in an aligned manner below the passage opening 14 and which is formed in the first baffle plate 16.
