Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dishwasher comprising an elevating means.
  • racks are used wherein the items to be washed are placed.
  • the user can perform the loading/unloading operation by pulling the rack forwards.
  • the lower rack In dishwashers comprising more than one rack, the lower rack, when changed to the loading/unloading position, is balanced on the door that opens forward by rotating around a horizontal axis.
  • the user has to bend in order to perform the loading and/or unloading operation to the lower rack that is relatively at the lower position than the upper rack. This situation causes the users to be strained and to have backaches.
  • the state of the art elevating means are used.
  • the elevating means comprise embodiments like switch mechanisms wherein the rack is lifted from below, suspension mechanisms wherein the rack is lifted by arms in the body, and rail mechanisms wherein the rack is lifted from the rear by the rails disposed on the side walls.
  • retaining means are used for clasping and engaging the rack. When stationary on the slider, the retainer means can prevent the door from closing. Since the openable/closable retainer means are movable, they are not reliable. At the same time, in these systems that require user intervention, the quality perception decreases.
  • a dishwasher wherein the retaining supports that support the basket are opened and closed by being actuated with a lifting means.
  • a dishwasher comprising a basket that is lifted by the arms engaged with the side walls by making a swinging motion.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a dishwasher wherein the rack is engaged with the elevating means without requiring user intervention.
  • the dishwasher realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises a body having two side walls; a rack having a washing position wherein the items to be washed are placed thereon and the rack is inside the body and a loading/unloading position wherein the rack is almost entirely outside the body, an elevating means having two sliders that enable the rack to be moved upwards/downwards when in the loading/unloading position, each disposed on one of the side walls, and at least one magnet pair or at least one magnet - ferromagnetic plate pair positioned on the rack and the slider to be opposite to one another, enabling the rack to be engaged with the elevating means.
  • the rack is magnetically engaged with the elevating means.
  • the rack is engaged with the elevating means while in the loading/unloading position as the magnet pair or the magnet - ferromagnetic plate pair attract one another without requiring user intervention.
  • the different poles of the magnet pair become opposite to one another as soon as the rack is changed to the loading/unloading position.
  • engagement occurs by itself and the rack becomes ready to be lifted by the elevating means.
  • the magnet - ferromagnetic plate pair become opposite to one another as soon as the rack is changed to the loading/unloading position.
  • the rack is immediately engaged with the elevating means when changed to the loading/unloading position.
  • the slider when at the lower position, is at a lower level than the vertical level of the rack in the loading/unloading position and at this position of the rack and the slider, the like poles of the magnet pair become opposite and repel one another.
  • the rack is changed to the loading/unloading position, engagement does not occur, however after the elevating means is operated and the slider rises some amount, engagement is provided by the unlike poles of the magnet pair coming opposite to one another.
  • engagement does not occur when the rack is changed to the loading/unloading position if the user does not desire to use the elevating means.
  • the user does not have to make an extra operation for dislodging the rack from the elevating means, when the slider changes to the lower position, the magnet pair repel one another and separate the rack from the elevating means.
  • the magnet or the ferromagnetic plate is fixed on the slider and the corresponding magnet or ferromagnetic plate is placed on the rack such that when they become opposite, the corresponding magnet or ferromagnetic plate moves towards the slider by the effect of the magnetic force.
  • the corresponding magnet or ferromagnetic plate moves towards the slider and sticks to the magnet or the ferromagnetic plate and engagement of the slider is accomplished.
  • At least one spring is used after the rack is dislodged from the elevating means so that the magnet or the ferromagnetic plate that can move on the rack is changed to the separated position from the magnet or the ferromagnetic plate on the slider.
  • a spring with a low spring constant is used, and when the magnet pair or the magnet - ferromagnetic plate pair become opposite to one another, the created magnetic force is provided to exceed the force of the spring.
  • the spring exerts on the magnet or the ferromagnetic plate the user can easily separate the rack from the elevating means.
  • two lugs are used, positioned oppositely on the rear wall of the rack, whereon the magnet or the ferromagnetic plate on the rack is fixed, that open to the sides, thereby enabling the magnet or the ferromagnetic plate to move towards the magnet or the ferromagnetic plate on the slider.
  • the lug moves with respect to the rack and the magnet or the ferromagnetic plate is fixed on the lug.
  • a retainer that is disposed on the rack and/or the slider is used that enables the rack to be carried by the slider.
  • the magnetic engagement accomplished by the magnet pair or the magnet - ferromagnetic plate pair is enabled to be continuous by means of the retainer.
  • engagement of the rack, desired to be moved upwards/downwards, with the elevating means is realized by means of the magnet pair and/or the magnet - ferromagnetic plate pair automatically and without requiring user intervention. Moreover, after engagement is provided, the rack is enabled to be carried by the retainer.
