Vor diesem Hintergrund besteht eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung darin, eine verbesserte Hebevorrichtung für eine Spülgutaufnahme einer Geschirrspülmaschine zur Verfügung zu stellen.Against this background, an object of the present invention is to provide an improved lifting device for a Spülgutaufnahme a dishwasher available.
Demgemäß wird eine Hebevorrichtung für eine Spülgutaufnahme einer Geschirrspülmaschine vorgeschlagen. Die Hebevorrichtung ist dazu eingerichtet, die Spülgutaufnahme von einer Ausgangsposition in eine Endposition anzuheben oder von der Endposition in die Ausgangsposition abzusenken, wobei die Hebevorrichtung eine Arretiereinrichtung umfasst, die dazu eingerichtet ist, die Spülgutaufnahme selbsttätig in wenigstens einer Zwischenposition zwischen der Ausgangsposition und der Endposition zu arretieren, wobei die Arretiereinrichtung ein Betätigungselement zum Entsperren desselben aufweist und wobei die Spülgutaufnahme von der Ausgangsposition in die Endposition oder umgekehrt nur verlagerbar ist, solange das Betätigungselement betätigt ist, um die Arretiereinrichtung zu entsperren.Accordingly, a lifting device for a Spülgutaufnahme a dishwasher is proposed. The lifting device is adapted to lift the Spülgutaufnahme from a starting position to an end position or lower from the end position to the starting position, wherein the lifting device comprises a locking device which is adapted to the Spülgutaufnahme automatically in at least one intermediate position between the starting position and the end position lock, wherein the locking device has an actuating element for unlocking the same and wherein the Spülgutaufnahme from the starting position to the end position or vice versa is only displaced as long as the actuating element is actuated to unlock the locking device.
Dadurch, dass die Arretiereinrichtung die Spülgutaufnahme arretiert, wenn das Betätigungselement nicht betätigt ist, wird ein selbsttätiges Verlagern der Spülgutaufnahme aufgrund ihres Eigengewichts und/oder des Gewichts des in ihr enthaltenen Spülguts verhindert. Eine unkontrollierte Bewegung der Spülgutaufnahme ist dadurch nicht möglich. Die Spülgutaufnahme ist somit insbesondere nur handgeführt verlagerbar. Hierdurch wird eine Verletzungsgefahr für einen Benutzer reduziert. Vorzugsweise kann die Spülgutaufnahme in jeder möglichen oder beliebigen Zwischenposition zwischen der Ausgangsposition und der Endposition arretiert werden. Es ist also möglich, die Spülgutaufnahme selbsttätig in wenigstens einer Zwischenposition, also auch in zwei oder mehr Zwischenpositionen, zwischen der Ausgangsposition und der Endposition zu arretieren.Characterized in that the locking device locks the Spülgutaufnahme when the actuating element is not actuated, an automatic displacement of the Spülgutaufnahme is prevented due to their own weight and / or the weight of the items contained in it. An uncontrolled movement of Spülgutaufnahme is not possible. The Spülgutaufnahme is thus in particular only hand-held displaced. This reduces a risk of injury to a user. Preferably, the Spülgutaufnahme can be locked in any possible or arbitrary intermediate position between the starting position and the end position. It is thus possible to automatically lock the washware receptacle in at least one intermediate position, that is also in two or more intermediate positions, between the starting position and the end position.
Die Spülgutaufnahme ist vorzugsweise ein Unterkorb der Geschirrspülmaschine. Die Geschirrspülmaschine kann weiterhin einen Oberkorb und/oder einen Besteckkorb aufweisen.The Spülgutaufnahme is preferably a lower basket of the dishwasher. The dishwasher may further comprise a top basket and / or a cutlery basket.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das Betätigungselement mechanisch mit der Arretiereinrichtung gekoppelt.
