Definitions
- the invention relates to a household dishwasher with a washing container whose feed opening can be closed by a door.
- some dishwashers such as e.g. German patent DE 100 58 188 A1, DE 10 2007 019 298 A1 can be used to suck hot air and / or hot steam through a drying fan and release it to the outside in the respective rinse for drying items previously cleaned with liquid from the rinse container become.
- the exiting hot, moisture-laden air and / or the exiting hot steam the environment exposed to significant moisture, so that in particular the dishwasher surrounding furniture can be damaged and also for a user unpleasant exposure to rising steam and / or humidigsbeladener hotter Air can take place. Therefore, in order to prevent damage to the furniture, additional steam protection sheets or foils are often mounted on the furniture.
- a flat steam protection element is usually attached to the underside of the kitchen worktop, below which the dishwasher is e.g. set in a niche of a kitchenette.
- the invention is based on the problem of achieving an improvement here.
- the dishwasher according to the invention according to claim 1 has a washing container, the loading opening is closable with a door.
- at least one suction device or suction unit is provided for sucking off steam escaping from the feed opening and / or air which is loaded, in particular with moisture laden or unpleasant odors.
- the suction device is designed such that it captures the respectively flowing out of the feed opening medium to such an extent and transported away from it such that unwanted adverse effects in the external environment of the dishwasher are largely avoided by the medium. It reduces or prevents in particular that the respective medium flowing out of the feed opening continues to rise upwards to a kitchen worktop and / or to the head area of a user standing in front of the dishwasher in an impairment leading way. Thus, it can be largely avoided, in particular, that condensation and precipitation of moisture on the dishwasher are adjacent to it
- Kitchen furniture especially on the underside of the dishwasher above covering kitchen worktop can come. Also, a user standing in front of the dishwasher remains better protected when the door is opened from rising, hot steam and / or from rising moisture laden and / or odorous air.
- suction device is advantageously activated is in particular when the door of the dishwasher is opened for drying support during the final cycle of a dishwashing program, especially in the second half of the predetermined drying period, preferably towards the end thereof. to purposely vent air and / or residual vapor laden with residual moisture from the rinse tank.
- it may be advantageous to open the door preferably automated by a door opening mechanism to a predetermined gap.
- the suction device is then advantageously turned on and for as long as possible, i. activated, as it leads to an unwanted escape from an impairing medium, in particular of steam, and / or moisture-containing and / or
- the suction device comprises one or more inlet windows, preferably outside of the wet space of the washing container, in particular in a front, the respective rinsing process dry edge zone of the washing container before the feed opening, preferably in front of the feed opening limiting door seal of the washing compartment provided is / are.
- the one or more entrance windows can be formed in an advantageous manner as simple breakthrough openings, for example in the form of punched holes in the edge region of the washing compartment projecting forward relative to the door seal.
- the suction device has one or more entrance windows at least in the upper region of the washing, in particular in the top wall, possibly also in the left side wall and / or in the right side wall, and one or more entrance windows are accessible from the inside of the rinsing container only for steam and / or air escaping from the wet space of the rinsing container when the door is open. As a result, complicated conversions of the washing container are largely avoided.
- this and / or these can be sucked through the one or more entrance window before the steam and / or the air too far away from the feed opening of the washing flow and can get to the adjacent furniture or a standing in front of the dishwasher user in an inadmissible manner.
- the suction device is already switched on when opening the door or shortly before.
- hot air emerging from the initial door opening gap in particular ascending upward, hot steam and / or gushing out, in particular ascending upward, can be sucked particularly effectively before it and / or surrounding furniture and / or the appliance standing in front of the dishwasher User reached.
- it is advantageous to operate the suction device then, as long as the door opening gap is small, as gushing escaping, in particular ascending, hot steam and / or gushing exiting, in particular upwardly rising hot air in a relatively concentrated form as by a chimney the door opening gap is guided and thereby effectively retained from escaping from the upper end.
- the suction device is brought from the beginning of the door opening for a predeterminable period of time, in particular between 1 minute and 20 minutes duration, in their suction and then turned off. It may be favorable, in particular, during this suction period for an initial period of time, such as for the first minute from the beginning of the door opening, the exhaust fan of the suction device with a higher speed, ie with a higher suction power associated therewith, than in the subsequent remaining period of Extraction time to operate.
- the initially emerging, preferably rising upward hot steam and / or air surge can be promoted particularly effective away from the feed opening in a direction that the original outflow direction of the particular obliquely steep upward steam and / or air surge through the door opening gap differs through, in particular, this is directed opposite.
- the suction device is turned on, as long as the door assumes a position in which the opening gap viewed in the depth direction of the washing container has a gap depth extension or gap width between 2 cm and 20 cm.
- This is particularly advantageous when the dishwasher according to the invention is equipped with an automatic door opening mechanism, which brings the door in a door opening parking position with such a gap width.
- the suction device is advantageously switched on when the door is moved from its, in particular approximately vertical, closing position into a forward tilted position as parking position with an opening angle between 2 ° and 10 °, preferably by means of an automatic door opening device.
- the door is first opened in a first opening park intermediate position with a door opening angle between 2 ° and 3 ° relative to its closed position while the suction fan of the suction is operated at a higher speed between 30 seconds and about 1 minute.
- the door is preferably applied in a second door opening parking intermediate position in which they are compared to their closed position, a door opening angle between 5 ° and 10 ° occupies.
- the suction fan of the suction device is operated with a lowered, ie lower speed between 10 minutes and 15 minutes.
- a control device may switch on the suction device when the temperature in the wet space of the washing container exceeds a predetermined threshold temperature, in particular approximately 40 ° C., above which steam is generated in the wet space of the washing container. and the presence of a door opening or the beginning of the opening of the door is detected.
- a predetermined threshold temperature in particular approximately 40 ° C.
- the invention relates to a domestic dishwasher with a washing container for cleaning dishes, glasses, cutlery or the like to be cleaned items, wherein the washing container is closed by a movable door to its opening, wherein the washing at least one suction or suction for in this air and a suction unit downstream of the suction are assigned. Due to the fact that in this dishwashing machine according to the invention according to claim 8 the suction or suction opening leads into a space for condensing moisture out of the intake air, less moisture is released into the environment. In the said space, a large part of the water contained in the air can condense, so that after passing through this room only a small residual moisture is contained in this air. In particular, with built-in dishwashers the surrounding furniture is spared, there can not condense water, or small amounts dry very quickly. Additional protection for the furniture is no longer required.
- the at least one suction or suction opening with the door open for emerging from the wet room of the washing and leaving steam and / or exiting air accessible is, an extraction of this steam and / or humid air can take place during the door opening, so that the steam and / or moisture from the device while the user does not hit the face or overlying furniture edge, for example, a countertop applied , Furthermore, it is possible for the at least one suction or suction opening to be accessible only when the door is open for steam and / or escaping air emerging from the wet space of the washing container.
- the suction unit can be automatically switched on by opening the door or at the same time or shortly before, whereby the efficiency is optimized and leakage of steam from the open door is minimized.
- lying above the slot of the dishwasher kitchen plate is thus preserved from moisture and possible mold growth. If the space is channel-like, it can save space with a small width and depth of typically only a few centimeters and yet a long length be installed in the dishwasher; This results in a large interaction surface between the humid air and the walls.
- any outside of the dishwasher to be mounted parts such as deflectors or the like, are not required.
- one or more inlet windows of the suction device is / are provided in the upper area of the inner wall of the door and are arranged there in an edge zone outside the collecting trough or recess of the door.
- this edge zone is located with the one or more entrance windows outside the feed opening of the washing container, which is bounded by the inside of the door mounted door seal in the ceiling wall and the two side walls of the washing compartment. Therefore, it remains largely dry during the respective rinsing process, during which rinsing liquid is circulated and distributed in the wet space or treatment chamber of the rinsing container.
- rinsing liquid is injected into the one or more inlet openings, which are arranged on the outer edge of the inner door. Further, it is advantageous if the space from the intake opening tends to run down to at least one outlet opening.
- the suction opening is thus preferably higher than the outlet opening of the space of the suction unit. Then out of condensing water can run down and there, for example, back in the Run back the rinse tank. Likewise, the less humid air can then escape in the lower area, either to the washing out or to the outside.
- the space may be provided at its lower end with a collecting area for liquid, which is about when the door is in operation, so that a return of residual water must take place again at the next closing of the door.
- the suction opening may comprise a pattern of entrance windows, thereby allowing suction over a large area into the condensation space.
- the front frame of the washing container which (in the viewing direction from the front) preferably lies in front of the feed opening of the washing container and in front of the door seal partly bounding the outside, can be provided with such inlet windows at the top and at the side.
- outer walls of the condensing room can also be cooled in order to achieve a particularly high separation of water.
- the aspirator is suitably switched so that when the door is opened a little way, e.g. at the end of a partial program step for drying the items to be washed, the steam exiting from the washing container and / or the moisture-laden hot air exiting through the suction unit is sucked off via an air gap formed through the door opening.
- the escaping steam and / or the escaping air can in particular via an air gap of up to 20 centimeters between the washing and one opposite, in the open door located suction and thereby effectively mix with the drier outdoor air.
- the door opens automatically while or shortly before the suction unit, it ensures that much steam and / or humid air can escape and yet the exhaust unit with open door can work immediately with their full power and so takes place from the beginning of the vapor and / or air deflection of the ascending direction in a deviating, in particular substantially horizontal, or even opposite flow direction.
