  • the embodiment of the invention provides essentially two advantages. Before a gap-wise opening of the door, the passage opening provided between the washing container and the upper side of the washing container can be closed by means of the seal provided according to the invention. This is advantageous for acoustic reasons, since the flushing noise produced in the interior of the washing container in the intended use case can not penetrate unhindered through the passage opening to the outside, but are damped by the gasket closing the passage opening.
  • the cooling air flow generated by the blower in the drying case can be used exclusively for condensation drying of the items to be washed in the washing container, since no part of the cooling air flow is discharged to the outside through the passage opening. As a result, an improved, thus optimized drying of the dishes can be achieved.
  • the embodiment of the invention makes use of the knowledge that it is not absolutely necessary for a warm-up of the worktop in order to avoid condensation on the underside of the worktop to preheat the worktop before a gap-wise opening of the door by a warm air flow. To avoid condensation, it is essential to pass only at the moment of the door opening a portion of the cooling air flow generated by the fan through the located between the washing container and worktop passage opening. For one thing, the worktop is already preheated by the fact that there is a heat transfer from the warm in the intended use case at the end of a wash program on the worktop.
  • the seal provided in accordance with the invention thus permits a method for carrying out a drying program section in a dishwasher, according to which only part of the cooling air flow generated by the fan along one part of the underside of one or more exclusively after a gapwise opening of the door or at an arbitrary time Upper side of the washing container arranged worktop is performed.
  • the seal according to the invention is designed to be movable for this purpose, so that it can be spent in a position closing the passage opening on the one hand and in a position releasing the passage opening on the other hand.
  • the seal is arranged on the inside of the door.
  • the seal is so far designed to be movable, as that it pivots together with the door in the opening case or in the case of closing.
  • the seal is in the closed feed opening in front of the passage opening and closes it.
  • the seal is arranged rinsing container side and has a cooperating with the passage opening sealing lip, which is designed to be pivotable.
  • the seal can in particular not be arranged on the door, but on the washing compartment, in particular be fastened. It provides a sealing lip, which in turn is pivotable and cooperates with the passage opening. If the sealing lip is in its release position, the passage opening is unlocked. Otherwise, the sealing lip is sealingly against the passage opening. The passage opening is therefore either released or closed depending on the position of the sealing lip.
  • the sealing lip is arranged according to a further feature of the invention with the interposition of a film hinge on a support unit.
  • the inventively provided seal is thus formed in two parts according to this embodiment and has a support unit on the one hand and a sealing lip on the other.
  • As a link between the support unit and the sealing lip is a film hinge, whereby the pivotable configuration of the sealing lip is realized.
  • the support unit serves, however, the arrangement of the seal on the washing.
  • the support unit is formed of a plastic hard component.
  • the sealing lip is, however, preferably made of a plastic soft component, so that a certain elasticity is given, which allows an improved sealing of the passage opening in the closed position of the sealing lip.
  • the sealing lip preferably cooperates with the door, so that when the feed opening is closed, the sealing lip rests against the door under elastic prestressing and closes the passage opening. As soon as the door is also brought into its open position only in columns, the sealing lip pivots automatically into the release position due to the bias acting on it, in which the passage opening is released for passage of vapor. As soon as the door closes the Loading opening is transferred to its closed position, the sealing lip sets inside the door, which also leads to a pivoting of the sealing lip with a transfer of the door in the closed position with the result that the sealing lip rests sealingly against the passage opening. According to this embodiment, a given depending on the door position sealing of the passage opening is thus realized. In the closed position of the door and the passage opening is closed.
  • the sealing lip separates from the opening and releases it.
  • the door thus acts as an abutment for the sealing lip and ensures when opening or closing the door for automatic closing and opening and the passage opening. It is therefore also achieved according to this structural design that opening the passage opening is reached only after a gap-wise opening of the cooperating with the feed opening door.
  • the sealing lip is actuator actuated.
  • the sealing lip cooperates with an actuator.
  • this alternative causes therefore not the position of the door, but the position of the actuator, whether by means of the sealing lip a closure of the passage opening is given or not.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine, insbesondere in der Ausgestaltung einer HaushaltsgeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine, mit einem einen SpĆ¼lraum bereitstellenden SpĆ¼lbehƤlter, der zur Beschickung mit SpĆ¼lgut eine Beschickungsƶffnung aufweist, die mittels einer verschwenkbar gelagerten TĆ¼r fluiddicht verschlieƟbar ist, mit einer Vorrichtung zur automatischen spaltweisen Ɩffnung der TĆ¼r und mit einem GeblƤse zur Erzeugung eines Luftstroms, wobei tĆ¼rseitig zwischen dem SpĆ¼lbehƤlter und einer oberseitig des SpĆ¼lbehƤlters angeordneten Arbeitsplatte eine Durchgangsƶffnung zur HindurchfĆ¼hrung eines Teils des vom GeblƤse erzeugten Luftstroms vorgesehen ist.The invention relates to a dishwasher, in particular in the embodiment of a domestic dishwasher with a washing compartment providing a SpĆ¼lbehƤlter having a feed opening for loading with items that can be closed fluid-tight by means of a pivotally mounted door, with a device for automatic gap-wise opening of the door and with a blower for generating an air flow, wherein on the door side between the washing container and a top side of the washing container arranged working plate a passage opening for the passage of a portion of the air flow generated by the blower is provided.

Eine GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine der gattungsgemƤƟen Art ist aus der EP 2 120 671 B1 bekannt. Sie verfĆ¼gt Ć¼ber einen SpĆ¼lbehƤlter, der einen SpĆ¼lraum bereitstellt. Dieser SpĆ¼lraum ist verwenderseitig Ć¼ber eine Beschickungsƶffnung zugƤnglich, die mittels einer verschwenkbar gelagerten SpĆ¼lraumtĆ¼r fluiddicht verschlieƟbar ist. Im bestimmungsgemƤƟen Verwendungsfall dient der SpĆ¼lbehƤlter der Aufnahme von zu reinigendem SpĆ¼lgut, bei dem es sich im Falle einer HaushaltsgeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine insbesondere um Geschirr, Besteckteile und/oder dergleichen handeln kann.A dishwasher of the generic type is from the EP 2 120 671 B1 known. It has a rinsing container that provides a rinsing room. This washing compartment is accessible on the user side via a charging opening which can be closed in a fluid-tight manner by means of a pivotally mounted flushing door. In the intended use case, the washing container serves to receive items to be cleaned, which in the case of a domestic dishwasher may be, in particular, dishes, cutlery pieces and / or the like.

Zur Beaufschlagung von zu reinigendem SpĆ¼lgut mit SpĆ¼lflĆ¼ssigkeit, der sogenannten SpĆ¼lflotte, verfĆ¼gt die GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine im Inneren des SpĆ¼lbehƤlters Ć¼ber eine SprĆ¼heinrichtung. Diese SprĆ¼heinrichtung stellt in aller Regel verdrehbar gelagerte SprĆ¼harme zur VerfĆ¼gung, wobei typischerweise zwei oder drei solcher SprĆ¼harme vorgesehen sind. Im bestimmungsgemƤƟen Verwendungsfall erfolgt eine Beaufschlagung des zu reinigenden SpĆ¼lguts mit SpĆ¼lflotte mittels sich drehender SprĆ¼harme.To treat items to be cleaned with rinsing liquid, the so-called rinsing liquor, the dishwasher has a spraying device inside the rinsing container. This spraying device generally provides rotatably mounted spray arms, with typically two or three such spray arms being provided. In the intended use case, a loading of the items to be cleaned with rinse liquor by means of rotating spray arms.

Die GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine verfĆ¼gt desweiteren Ć¼ber eine Vorrichtung zur automatisch spaltweisen Ɩffnung der TĆ¼r. Diese Vorrichtung dient dazu, die TĆ¼r nach Beendigung eines SpĆ¼lprogramms automatisch um einen Spalt zu ƶffnen, so dass im SpĆ¼lraum noch befindliche Wrasen zumindest teilweise abgefĆ¼hrt werden kƶnnen, was die SpĆ¼lguttrocknung beschleunigt und/oder verbessert.The dishwasher further has a device for automatic gap-wise opening of the door. This device is used to automatically open the door after completion of a wash program by a gap, so that in the washroom still located vapors can be at least partially removed, which accelerates the SpĆ¼lguttrocknung and / or improved.

Die GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine verfĆ¼gt desweiteren Ć¼ber eine Kondensations-Trocknungseinrichtung. Diese weist ein GeblƤse zur Erzeugung eines KĆ¼hlluftstroms auf. Die Kondensations-Trocknungseinrichtung dient dazu, im Anschluss an die wasserfĆ¼hrenden Programmabschnitte eines SpĆ¼lprogramms zur Trocknung des SpĆ¼lguts KĆ¼hlluft durch ein GeblƤse im unteren Bereich der GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine anzusaugen, um diese alsdann auƟenseitig an den SeitenflƤchen des SpĆ¼lbehƤlters vorbeizufĆ¼hren. Hierdurch kondensiert die Feuchtigkeit aus der warmfeuchten Prozessluft, das heiƟt den Wrasen im Inneren des SpĆ¼lbehƤlters aus, die sich dann als KondensationsflĆ¼ssigkeit im unteren Bereich des SpĆ¼lbehƤlters ansammelt.The dishwasher further has a condensation-drying device. This has a fan for generating a cooling air flow. The condensation drying device serves to suck cooling air through a fan in the lower region of the dishwasher after the water-conducting program sections of a washing program for drying the items to then pass them outside on the side surfaces of the washing. As a result, the moisture condenses out of the warm moist process air, that is to say the vapor inside the washing container, which then collects as condensation liquid in the lower region of the washing container.

TĆ¼rseitig ist zwischen dem SpĆ¼lbehƤlter und einer oberseitig des SpĆ¼lbehƤlters angeordneten Arbeitsplatte eine Durchtrittsƶffnung vorgesehen, die dazu dient, einen Teil des vom GeblƤse erzeugten KĆ¼hlluftstroms hindurch zu lassen. Hierdurch wird gemƤƟ der EP 2 120 671 B1 vor und nach dem spaltweisen Ɩffnen der TĆ¼r ein AufwƤrmen der tĆ¼rseits Ć¼ber die GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine hinaus vorstehenden Arbeitsplatte erreicht, was den Taupunkt anhebt, womit in vorteilhafter Weise erreicht wird, dass aus der spaltweise geƶffneten TĆ¼r austretende Wrasen an der Unterseite der Arbeitsplatte nicht kondensieren.On the door side, a passage opening is provided between the washing container and a worktop arranged on the upper side of the washing container, which serves to let through a part of the cooling air flow generated by the fan. As a result, according to the EP 2 120 671 B1 before and after the gap-wise opening of the door warming the door above the dishwasher beyond projecting worktop reached, which raises the dew point, which is achieved in an advantageous manner that do not condense out of the gap-wise open door exiting vapors on the underside of the worktop.

Obgleich sich GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschinen der vorbeschriebenen Art im alltƤglichen Praxiseinsatz bewƤhrt haben, besteht Verbesserungsbedarf. So hat sich nƤmlich herausgestellt, dass die fĆ¼r ein HindurchfĆ¼hren von Wrasen zwischen SpĆ¼lbehƤlter und Arbeitsplatte vorgesehene Durchtrittsƶffnung akustisch von Nachteil ist. DarĆ¼ber hinaus findet keine Optimierung zwischen der Trocknungsleistung des GeblƤses einerseits und VorwƤrmung der Arbeitsplatte vor einer Ɩffnung der TĆ¼r andererseits statt.Although dishwashers of the type described above have proven themselves in everyday practice, there is room for improvement. Thus, it has been found that the passage opening provided for passing vapors between the rinsing container and the worktop is acoustically disadvantageous. In addition, there is no optimization between the drying performance of the fan on the one hand and preheating the worktop before opening the door on the other hand.

Es ist deshalb die Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weiterzuentwickeln, dass eine LƤrmreduzierung bei gleichzeitig verbesserter Trocknungsleistung erreicht ist.It is therefore the object of the invention to develop a dishwasher of the type mentioned in that a noise reduction is achieved with improved drying performance.

Zur Lƶsung dieser Aufgabe wird mit der Erfindung eine GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine der eingangs genannten Art vorgeschlagen, die sich auszeichnet durch eine bewegbar ausgebildete Dichtung, mittels welcher die Durchtrittsƶffnung verschlieƟbar ist.To solve this problem, the invention proposes a dishwasher of the type mentioned, which is characterized by a movably formed seal, by means of which the passage opening can be closed.

In Abkehr zum vorbekannten Stand der Technik nach der EP 2 120 671 B1 ist die fĆ¼r eine HindurchfĆ¼hrung eines Teils des vom GeblƤse erzeugten Luftstroms, insbesondere KĆ¼hlluftstroms vorgesehe Durchtrittsƶffnung nicht permanent, das heiƟt dauerhaft offen. Es ist erfindungsgemƤƟ vielmehr eine Dichtung vorgesehen, die bewegbar ausgebildet ist und mittels welcher die Durchtrittsƶffnung verschlieƟbar ist. Es findet mithin nicht mehr ein VorwƤrmen der Arbeitsplatte sowohl vor als auch nach einem spaltweisen Ɩffnen der TĆ¼r statt, sondern nur dann, wenn die Durchtrittsƶffnung von der erfindungsgemƤƟ vorgesehenen Dichtung freigegeben ist.In contrast to the prior art according to the EP 2 120 671 B1 is that for a passage of a portion of the air flow generated by the fan, in particular Cooling air flow vorgesehe passage opening not permanent, that is permanently open. It is inventively rather a seal provided, which is designed to be movable and by means of which the passage opening is closed. There is therefore no longer a preheating the worktop both before and after a gap-wise opening of the door instead, but only if the passage opening is released from the inventively provided seal.

Es ist fĆ¼r den Fachmann offensichtlich, dass die erfindungsgemƤƟ ausgebildete GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine auch in einem Hochschrank eingebaut sein kann. Als Arbeitsplatte im Sinne der Erfindung wird daher auch eine Begrenzungsplatte eines die GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine beherbergenden Hochschranks verstanden, welche unmittelbar oberseitig des SpĆ¼lbehƤlters angeordnet ist. FĆ¼r die Erfindung hat der Unterschied in der Einbaulage der GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine keine Bedeutung.It is obvious to the person skilled in the art that the dishwasher designed according to the invention can also be installed in a tall cabinet. As a worktop in the context of the invention is therefore also understood a boundary plate of a dishwasher accommodating the upper cabinet, which is located directly above the washing compartment. For the invention, the difference in the installation position of the dishwasher has no meaning.

Die GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine kann eine Kondensations-Trocknungseinrichtung aufweisen, wobei das den Luftstrom insbesonder KĆ¼hlluftstrom erzeugende GeblƤse Teil dieser Kondensations-Trocknungseinrichtung sein kann. Dabei kann das GeblƤse in an sich bekannter Weise dazu dienen, im Anschluss an die wasserfĆ¼hrenden Programmabschnitte eines SpĆ¼lprogramms zur Trocknung des SpĆ¼lguts KĆ¼hlluft im unteren Bereich der GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine anzusaugen, um diese alsdann auƟenseitig an den SeitenflƤchen des SpĆ¼lbehƤlters vorbeizufĆ¼hren.The dishwasher may have a condensation-drying device, wherein the blower producing the air flow, in particular cooling air flow, may be part of this condensation-drying device. In this case, the blower can serve, in a manner known per se, to suck in cooling air in the lower region of the dishwasher following the water-conveying program sections of a washing program for drying the washware, in order to then pass them outside on the side surfaces of the washing container.

Die erfindungsgemƤƟe Ausgestaltung erbringt im Wesentlichen zwei Vorteile. Vor einem spaltweisen Ɩffnen der TĆ¼r kann die zwischen dem SpĆ¼lbehƤlter und der oberseitig des SpĆ¼lbehƤlters angeordneten Arbeitsplatte vorgesehene Durchtrittsƶffnung mittels der erfindungsgemƤƟ vorgesehenen Dichtung verschlossen sein. Dies ist aus akustischen GrĆ¼nden von Vorteil, da die im Innenraum des SpĆ¼lbehƤlters im bestimmungsgemƤƟen Verwendungsfall entstehenden SpĆ¼lgerƤusche nicht ungehindert durch die Durchtrittsƶffnung nach auƟen dringen kƶnnen, sondern durch die die Durchtrittsƶffnung verschlieƟende Dichtung abgedƤmpft werden. Vorteilhafterweise kommt zudem hinzu, dass der im Trocknungsfall vom GeblƤse erzeugte KĆ¼hlluftstrom ausschlieƟlich zur Kondensationstrocknung des im SpĆ¼lbehƤlter befindlichen SpĆ¼lguts genutzt werden kann, da kein Teil des KĆ¼hlluftstroms nach auƟen durch die Durchtrittsƶffnung abgefĆ¼hrt wird. Im Ergebnis kann so eine verbesserte, mithin optimierte Trocknung des SpĆ¼lguts erreicht werden.The embodiment of the invention provides essentially two advantages. Before a gap-wise opening of the door, the passage opening provided between the washing container and the upper side of the washing container can be closed by means of the seal provided according to the invention. This is advantageous for acoustic reasons, since the flushing noise produced in the interior of the washing container in the intended use case can not penetrate unhindered through the passage opening to the outside, but are damped by the gasket closing the passage opening. Advantageously, it is also added that the cooling air flow generated by the blower in the drying case can be used exclusively for condensation drying of the items to be washed in the washing container, since no part of the cooling air flow is discharged to the outside through the passage opening. As a result, an improved, thus optimized drying of the dishes can be achieved.

Die erfindungsgemƤƟe Ausgestaltung macht sich die Erkenntnis zunutze, dass es fĆ¼r ein AufwƤrmen der Arbeitsplatte zwecks Vermeidung von Kondensatbildung an der Unterseite der Arbeitsplatte nicht unbedingt nƶtig ist, die Arbeitsplatte bereits vor einem spaltweisen Ɩffnen der TĆ¼r durch einen warmen Luftstrom vorzuwƤrmen. Zur Vermeidung von Kondensatbildung ist es vielmehr wesentlich, erst im Moment der TĆ¼rƶffnung einen Teil des vom GeblƤse erzeugten KĆ¼hlluftstroms durch die zwischen SpĆ¼lbehƤlter und Arbeitsplatte befindliche Durchtrittsƶffnung hindurchzufĆ¼hren. Denn zum Einen ist die Arbeitsplatte bereits dadurch vorgewƤrmt, dass es zu einem WƤrmeĆ¼bertrag von dem im bestimmungsgemƤƟen Verwendungsfall am Ende eines SpĆ¼lprogramms warmen SpĆ¼lbehƤlter auf die Arbeitsplatte kommt. Zum Anderen kommt es bei einem Austrag eines Teil des KĆ¼hlluftstroms durch die Durchtrittsƶffnung erst mit einem Ɩffnen der TĆ¼r bereits zu einer solchen Durchmischung von KĆ¼hlluft einerseits und den den SpĆ¼lraum verlassenden Wrasen andererseits, dass die relative Luftfeuchtigkeit im Wrasen-KĆ¼hlluft-Gemisch soweit sinkt, dass in Kombination mit der durch WƤrmeleitung aufgeheizten Arbeitsplatte eine Kondensationsbildung an der Unterseite der Arbeitsplatte sicher ausgeschlossen oder zumindest hinreichend vermindert ist.The embodiment of the invention makes use of the knowledge that it is not absolutely necessary for a warm-up of the worktop in order to avoid condensation on the underside of the worktop to preheat the worktop before a gap-wise opening of the door by a warm air flow. To avoid condensation, it is essential to pass only at the moment of the door opening a portion of the cooling air flow generated by the fan through the located between the washing container and worktop passage opening. For one thing, the worktop is already preheated by the fact that there is a heat transfer from the warm in the intended use case at the end of a wash program on the worktop. On the other hand, it comes with a discharge of a portion of the cooling air flow through the passage opening only with an opening of the door already to such mixing of cooling air on the one hand and the rinsing room leaving Wrasen other hand, that the relative humidity in the vapor-cooling air mixture decreases so far that in combination with the worktop heated by heat conduction condensation on the underside of the worktop safely excluded or at least sufficiently reduced.

Die nach der Erfindung vorgesehene Dichtung gestattet mithin ein Verfahren zur DurchfĆ¼hrung eines Trocknungs-Programmabschnitts in einer GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine, demgemƤƟ ausschlieƟlich vor oder ausschlieƟlich nach einem spaltweisen Ɩffnen der TĆ¼r oder zu einem beiliebigem Zeitpunkt ein Teil des von dem GeblƤse erzeugten KĆ¼hlluftstroms entlang eines Teils der Unterseite einer oberseitig des SpĆ¼lbehƤlters angeordneten Arbeitsplatte gefĆ¼hrt wird. Die Dichtung ist erfindungsgemƤƟ zu diesem Zweck bewegbar ausgebildet, so dass sie in eine die Durchtrittsƶffnung verschlieƟende Stellung einerseits sowie in eine die Durchtrittsƶffnung freigebende Stellung andererseits verbracht werden kann.The seal provided in accordance with the invention thus permits a method for carrying out a drying program section in a dishwasher, according to which only part of the cooling air flow generated by the fan along one part of the underside of one or more exclusively after a gapwise opening of the door or at an arbitrary time Upper side of the washing container arranged worktop is performed. The seal according to the invention is designed to be movable for this purpose, so that it can be spent in a position closing the passage opening on the one hand and in a position releasing the passage opening on the other hand.

GemƤƟ einer ersten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Dichtung innenseitig an der TĆ¼r angeordnet ist. Die Dichtung ist insoweit bewegbar ausgebildet, als dass sie zusammen mit der TĆ¼r im Ɩffnungsfall beziehungsweise im SchlieƟfall mit verschwenkt. Dabei liegt die Dichtung bei geschlossener Beschickungsƶffnung vor der Durchtrittsƶffnung an und verschlieƟt diese. Mithin ist bei geschlossener TĆ¼r automatisch auch die Durchtrittsƶffnung zwischen SpĆ¼lbehƤlter und Arbeitsplatte geschlossen, wohingegen die Durchtrittsƶffnung freigegeben ist, wenn auch die TĆ¼r geƶffnet ist, zumindest spaltweise. In konstruktiv denkbar einfacher Weise ist so realisiert, dass erst mit einem spaltweisen Ɩffnen der TĆ¼r auch die Durchtrittsƶffnung zur HindurchfĆ¼hrung eines Teils des vom GeblƤse erzeugten KĆ¼hlluftstroms freigegeben ist. Bei sich in Verschlussstellung befindlicher TĆ¼r ist die Durchtrittsƶffnung hingegen verschlossen.According to a first embodiment of the invention it is provided that the seal is arranged on the inside of the door. The seal is so far designed to be movable, as that it pivots together with the door in the opening case or in the case of closing. The seal is in the closed feed opening in front of the passage opening and closes it. Thus, when the door is closed, the passage opening between the washing container and worktop is automatically closed, whereas the passage opening is released, even if the door is open, at least in columns. In structurally simple way is realized so that only with a gap-wise opening of the door and the passage opening for the passage of a portion of the cooling air flow generated by the fan is released. When the door is in the closed position, however, the passage opening is closed.

GemƤƟ einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Dichtung spĆ¼lbehƤlterseitig angeordnet und weist eine mit der Durchtrittsƶffnung zusammenwirkende Dichtlippe auf, die verschwenkbar ausgebildet ist. Dabei kann die Dichtung insbesondere nicht an der TĆ¼r, sondern am SpĆ¼lbehƤlter angeordnet, insbesondere befestigt sein. Sie stellt eine Dichtlippe bereit, die ihrerseits verschwenkbar ist und mit der Durchtrittsƶffnung zusammenwirkt. Sofern sich die Dichtlippe in ihrer Freigabestellung befindet, ist die Durchtrittsƶffnung unverschlossen. Andernfalls liegt die Dichtlippe verschlieƟend an der Durchtrittsƶffnung an. Die Durchtrittsƶffnung ist mithin je nach Stellung der Dichtlippe entweder freigegeben oder verschlossen.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the seal is arranged rinsing container side and has a cooperating with the passage opening sealing lip, which is designed to be pivotable. In this case, the seal can in particular not be arranged on the door, but on the washing compartment, in particular be fastened. It provides a sealing lip, which in turn is pivotable and cooperates with the passage opening. If the sealing lip is in its release position, the passage opening is unlocked. Otherwise, the sealing lip is sealingly against the passage opening. The passage opening is therefore either released or closed depending on the position of the sealing lip.

Die Dichtlippe ist gemƤƟ einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung unter Zwischenordnung eines Filmscharniers an einer Trageinheit angeordnet. Die erfindungsgemƤƟ vorgesehene Dichtung ist mithin gemƤƟ dieser AusfĆ¼hrung zweiteilig ausgebildet und verfĆ¼gt Ć¼ber eine Trageinheit einerseits und eine Dichtlippe andererseits. Als Verbindungsglied zwischen Trageinheit und Dichtlippe dient ein Filmscharnier, womit die verschwenkbare Ausgestaltung der Dichtlippe realisiert ist. Die Trageinheit dient indes der Anordnung der Dichtung am SpĆ¼lbehƤlter.The sealing lip is arranged according to a further feature of the invention with the interposition of a film hinge on a support unit. The inventively provided seal is thus formed in two parts according to this embodiment and has a support unit on the one hand and a sealing lip on the other. As a link between the support unit and the sealing lip is a film hinge, whereby the pivotable configuration of the sealing lip is realized. The support unit serves, however, the arrangement of the seal on the washing.

Um eine dauerhafte sichere Anordnung der Dichtung am SpĆ¼lbehƤlter zu gestatten, ist gemƤƟ einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass die Trageinheit aus einer Kunststoff-Hartkomponente gebildet ist. Die Dichtlippe besteht in indes vorzugsweise aus einer Kunststoff-Weichkomponente, so dass eine gewisse ElastizitƤt gegeben ist, was in Verschlussstellung der Dichtlippe eine verbesserte Abdichtung der Durchtrittsƶffnung gestattet.In order to allow a permanent secure arrangement of the seal on the washing container is provided according to a further feature of the invention that the support unit is formed of a plastic hard component. The sealing lip is, however, preferably made of a plastic soft component, so that a certain elasticity is given, which allows an improved sealing of the passage opening in the closed position of the sealing lip.

Die Dichtlippe wirkt bevorzugterweise mit der TĆ¼r zusammen, so dass bei geschlossener Beschickungsƶffnung die Dichtlippe an der TĆ¼r unter elastischer Vorspannung anliegt und die Durchtrittsƶffnung verschlieƟt. Sobald die TĆ¼r auch nur spaltweise in ihre Offenstellung verbracht wird, verschwenkt die Dichtlippe aufgrund der auf sie einwirkenden Vorspannung automatisch in die Freigabestellung, in welcher die Durchtrittsƶffnung fĆ¼r ein Hindurchtreten von Wrasen freigegeben ist. Sobald die TĆ¼r zum VerschlieƟen der Beschickungsƶffnung in ihre Verschlussstellung Ć¼berfĆ¼hrt wird, legt sich die Dichtlippe innenseitig an die TĆ¼r an, was bei einem ƜberfĆ¼hren der TĆ¼r in die Verschlussstellung auch zu einem Verschwenken der Dichtlippe mit dem Ergebnis fĆ¼hrt, dass sich die Dichtlippe abdichtend an die Durchtrittsƶffnung anlegt. GemƤƟ dieser Ausgestaltung ist mithin eine in AbhƤngigkeit der TĆ¼rstellung gegebene Abdichtung der Durchtrittsƶffnung realisiert. In Verschlussstellung der TĆ¼r ist auch die Durchtrittsƶffnung verschlossen. Sobald die TĆ¼r geƶffnet wird, wenn auch nur spaltweise, lƶst sich die Dichtlippe von der Durchtrittsƶffnung und gibt diese frei. Die TĆ¼r wirkt mithin als Widerlager fĆ¼r die Dichtlippe und sorgt bei einem Ɩffnen beziehungsweise SchlieƟen der TĆ¼r fĆ¼r ein automatisches SchlieƟen und Ɩffnen auch der Durchtrittsƶffnung. Es ist mithin gemƤƟ auch dieser konstruktiven Ausgestaltung erreicht, dass ein Ɩffnen der Durchtrittsƶffnung erst nach einem spaltweisen Ɩffnen der mit der Beschickungsƶffnung zusammenwirkenden TĆ¼r erreicht ist.The sealing lip preferably cooperates with the door, so that when the feed opening is closed, the sealing lip rests against the door under elastic prestressing and closes the passage opening. As soon as the door is also brought into its open position only in columns, the sealing lip pivots automatically into the release position due to the bias acting on it, in which the passage opening is released for passage of vapor. As soon as the door closes the Loading opening is transferred to its closed position, the sealing lip sets inside the door, which also leads to a pivoting of the sealing lip with a transfer of the door in the closed position with the result that the sealing lip rests sealingly against the passage opening. According to this embodiment, a given depending on the door position sealing of the passage opening is thus realized. In the closed position of the door and the passage opening is closed. As soon as the door is opened, even if only in columns, the sealing lip separates from the opening and releases it. The door thus acts as an abutment for the sealing lip and ensures when opening or closing the door for automatic closing and opening and the passage opening. It is therefore also achieved according to this structural design that opening the passage opening is reached only after a gap-wise opening of the cooperating with the feed opening door.

GemƤƟ einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Dichtlippe aktuatorbetƤtigt ist. Zu diesem Zweck ist vorgesehen, dass die Dichtlippe mit einem Aktuator zusammenwirkt. GemƤƟ dieser Alternative bewirkt mithin nicht die Stellung der TĆ¼r, sondern die Stellung des Aktuators, ob mittels der Dichtlippe ein Verschluss der Durchtrittsƶffnung gegeben ist oder nicht. Im Unterschied zu den vorerlƤuterten Alternativen gestattet es diese Konstruktionsalternative mithin, eine tĆ¼runabhƤngige Ɩffnung beziehungsweise einen tĆ¼runabhƤngigen Verschluss der Durchtrittsƶffnung vorzunehmen. Je nach Ansteuerung des Aktuators kann damit auch bei geschlossener TĆ¼r eine Ɩffnung der Durchtrittsƶffnung zum Abziehen von Wrasen realisiert werden. Es ist damit gestattet, die Durchtrittsƶffnung wahlweise unabhƤngig von der Stellung der mit der Beschickungsƶffnung zusammenwirkenden TĆ¼r zu ƶffnen oder zu schlieƟen, insbesondere sowohl vor als auch nach einem Ɩffnen der TĆ¼r. Das Vorsehen eines Aktuators gestattetes es mithin, die Durchtrittsƶffnung vor und/oder nach einem spaltweisen Ɩffnen der TĆ¼r freizugeben oder zu schlieƟen.According to a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the sealing lip is actuator actuated. For this purpose, it is provided that the sealing lip cooperates with an actuator. According to this alternative causes therefore not the position of the door, but the position of the actuator, whether by means of the sealing lip a closure of the passage opening is given or not. In contrast to the alternatives explained above, this design alternative thus makes it possible to carry out a door-independent opening or a door-independent closure of the passage opening. Depending on the activation of the actuator can thus be realized with the door closed, an opening of the passage opening for the removal of fumes. It is thus permissible to open or close the passage opening selectively regardless of the position of the door cooperating with the loading opening, in particular both before and after opening the door. The provision of an actuator thus makes it possible to release or close the passage opening before and / or after a gap-wise opening of the door.

Zur Kraftkopplung der Dichtlippe mit dem Aktuator ist vorgesehen, dass die Dichtlippe einen in LƤngsrichtung der Dichtlippe verlaufenden StĆ¼tzabschnitt aufweist. An diesen StĆ¼tzabschnitt ist der Aktuator wirkseitig angekoppelt. Die Ausgestaltung des StĆ¼tzabschnittes stellt dabei sicher, dass die Dichtlippe im BetƤtigungsfall Ć¼ber ihre gesamte LƤngserstreckung gleichmƤƟig zur Abdichtung der Durchtrittsƶffnung an diese herangedrĆ¼ckt wird. Zur VergleichmƤƟigung der Anpresskraft kƶnnen auch mehrere Aktuatoren eingesetzt werden, die vorzugsweise symmetrisch entlang des StĆ¼tzabschnittes verteilt angeordnet sind.For coupling the force of the sealing lip with the actuator, it is provided that the sealing lip has a support section extending in the longitudinal direction of the sealing lip. At this support portion of the actuator is operatively coupled. The design of the support section ensures that the sealing lip is pressed in the actuation case over its entire longitudinal extent uniformly for sealing the passage opening to this. To even out the contact force can also several Actuators are used, which are preferably arranged distributed symmetrically along the support portion.

Der StĆ¼tzabschnitt besteht vorzugsweise aus einer Kunststoff-Hartkomponente und ist in die Kunststoff-Weichkomponente der Dichtlippe vorzugsweise quasi-einstĆ¼ckig eingebettet.The support portion is preferably made of a plastic hard component and is preferably quasi-one piece embedded in the plastic soft component of the sealing lip.

Die erfindungsgemƤƟe Ausgestaltung ermƶglicht es, die fĆ¼r ein HindurchfĆ¼hren von Wrasen vorgesehene Durchtrittsƶffnung vor und/oder nach einem spaltweisen Ɩffnen der TĆ¼r abdichten zu kƶnnen. Dabei kann je nach konstruktiver Alternative eine Optimierung zwischen den gewĆ¼nschten akustischen Eigenschaften und der Verhinderung von Kondensation an der Unterseite der Arbeitsplatte erzielt werden. Zudem wird die Optik der oberen Schnittstelle zwischen GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine und Arbeitsplatte deutlich verbessert. Dies vor allem hinsichtlich eines Be- und Entladens der GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine, bei dem sich ein Benutzer der GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine auf Augenhƶhe mit dem Spalt zwischen GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine und Arbeitsplatte befindet. Mittels der Dichtlippe kann dieser Spalt optisch vorteilhaft verschlossen sein.The embodiment according to the invention makes it possible to seal the opening provided for a passage of vapor before and / or after a gap-wise opening of the door. Depending on the design alternative, an optimization between the desired acoustic properties and the prevention of condensation on the underside of the worktop can be achieved. In addition, the appearance of the upper interface between the dishwasher and worktop is significantly improved. This is especially true with regard to loading and unloading of the dishwasher, in which a user of the dishwasher is at eye level with the gap between the dishwasher and worktop. By means of the sealing lip, this gap can be optically closed.

DarĆ¼ber hinaus schafft die erfindungsgemƤƟ vorgesehene Dichtlippe die Mƶglichkeit, in Abkehr zur Lehre nach der EP 2 120 671 B1 ein VorwƤrmen der Arbeitsplatte ausschlieƟlich entweder vor oder nach dem spaltweisen Ɩffnen der TĆ¼r vorzunehmen.In addition, the inventively provided sealing lip creates the possibility, in departure from the teaching of the EP 2 120 671 B1 Preheat the worktop exclusively either before or after the gap-wise opening of the door.

Fig. 1 lƤsst in rein schematischer Darstellung eine GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine 1 in der Ausgestaltung einer programmgesteuerten HaushaltsgeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine erkennen. Fig. 1 can be seen in a purely schematic representation of a dishwasher 1 in the embodiment of a program-controlled household dishwasher.

Die GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine 1 verfĆ¼gt in an sich bekannter Weise Ć¼ber ein GehƤuse 4, das einen SpĆ¼lbehƤlter 2 aufnimmt. Der SpĆ¼lbehƤlter 2 stellt seinerseits einen SpĆ¼lraum 3 zur Aufnahme von zu reinigendem SpĆ¼lgut bereit. Zur Beschickung des SpĆ¼lraums 3 mit zu reinigendem SpĆ¼lgut verfĆ¼gt der SpĆ¼lbehƤlter 2 Ć¼ber eine Beschickungsƶffnung 5. Diese Beschickungsƶffnung 5 ist mittels einer SpĆ¼lraumtĆ¼r 6 fluiddicht verschlieƟbar, wobei die SpĆ¼lraumtĆ¼r 6 um eine horizontal verlaufende Schwenkachse drehverschwenkbar gelagert ist.The dishwasher 1 has, in a manner known per se, a housing 4 which accommodates a washing container 2. The washing container 2 in turn provides a washing compartment 3 for receiving items to be cleaned. For loading the washing compartment 3 to be cleaned with SpĆ¼lgut the washing compartment 2 has a feed opening 5. This feed opening 5 is fluid-tight manner by means of a SpĆ¼lraumtĆ¼r 6, wherein the SpĆ¼lraumtĆ¼r 6 is rotatably mounted about a horizontally extending pivot axis.

Im endmontierten Zustand ist die GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine 1 in eine in Fig. 1 nicht nƤher dargestellte KĆ¼chenzeile integriert, so dass oberseitig des SpĆ¼lbehƤlters 2 eine Arbeitsplatte 10 angeordnet ist. Diese Arbeitsplatte 10 ist nicht Bestandteil der GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine 1, sondern gehƶrt zum Mobiliar insbesondere einer KĆ¼chenzeile, in die die GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine 1 als Ein- oder UnterbaugerƤt integriert ist. GemƤƟ der in den Figuren gezeigten AusfĆ¼hrungsform Ć¼berragt die vordere Randkante der Arbeitsplatte 10 die TĆ¼r 6. Alternativ kann aber auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Arbeitsplatte 10 mit ihrer vorderen Randkante bĆ¼ndig mit der Front der TĆ¼r 6 abschlieƟt. Es ist fĆ¼r den Fachmann offensichtlich, dass die GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine auch in einem Hochschrank eingebaut sein kann, wobei oberseitig des SpĆ¼lbehƤlters statt einer Arbeitsplatte lediglich eine obere Begrenzungsplatte vorhanden ist. FĆ¼r die Erfindung hat dieser Unterschied keine Bedeutung.In the final assembled state, the dishwasher 1 is in an in Fig. 1 Integrated kitchen unit, not shown, so that the upper side of the washing compartment 2, a worktop 10 is arranged. This worktop 10 is not part of the dishwasher 1, but belongs to the furniture in particular a kitchenette, in which the dishwasher 1 is integrated as a single or sub-unit. According to the embodiment shown in the figures, the front edge of the worktop 10 projects beyond the door 6. Alternatively, it can also be provided that the worktop 10 is flush with its front edge edge flush with the front of the door 6. It is obvious to the person skilled in the art that the dishwasher can also be installed in a tall cabinet, with only an upper boundary plate being present on the top side of the washing container instead of a worktop. For the invention, this difference has no meaning.

Die GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine 1 verfĆ¼gt desweiteren Ć¼ber eine Kondensations-Trocknungseinrichtung zur Entfeuchtung von warmer, feuchter Luft, welche im SpĆ¼lraum 3 nach der DurchfĆ¼hrung eines wasserfĆ¼hrenden Programmabschnittes befindlich ist. Zu diesem Zweck verfĆ¼gt die Kondensations- und Trocknungseinrichtung im unteren Seitenbereich zumindest an einer Seite der GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine 1 Ć¼ber ein GeblƤse 9, welches im Betriebsfall durch eine Ɩffnung im GehƤuse 4 unterhalb der TĆ¼r 6 KĆ¼hlluft in Entsprechung des Pfeils 8 ansaugt und diese an der zugehƶrigen Seitenwand des SpĆ¼lbehƤlters 2 vorbei fĆ¼hrt. Der insoweit generierte KĆ¼hlluftstrom gemƤƟ Pfeil 9 wird im Wesentlichen rĆ¼ckseitig der GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine 1 ausgeblasen, kann aber auch - wie dies im Weiteren noch nƤher erlƤutert werden wird - vorderseitig, das heiƟt tĆ¼rseitig durch eine zwischen dem SpĆ¼lbehƤlter 2 und der oberseitig des SpĆ¼lbehƤlters 2 angeordneten Arbeitsplatte 10 ausgebildete Durchtrittsƶffnung 11 hindurch abgegeben werden, zumindest teilweise, wie dies in Entsprechung des Pfeils 12 in Fig. 1 dargestellt ist.The dishwasher 1 further has a condensation-drying device for dehumidifying warm, moist air, which is located in the washing compartment 3 after the implementation of a water-conducting program section. For this purpose, the condensation and drying device has in the lower side region at least on one side of the dishwasher 1 via a fan 9, which sucks in the operating case through an opening in the housing 4 below the door 6 cooling air in accordance with the arrow 8 and this on the associated side wall the rinse tank 2 leads over. The extent generated cooling air flow according to arrow 9 is in Substantially blown out the back of the dishwasher 1, but can also - as will be explained in more detail - the front side, that is discharged door side through a formed between the washing compartment 2 and the top of the washing compartment 2 worktop 10 through opening 11 through, at least partially as indicated by the arrow 12 in Fig. 1 is shown.

Die weiteren Figuren 2 bis 5 lassen in einer Detailansicht der erfindungsgemƤƟen GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine die Durchtrittsƶffnung 11 schematisch erkennen, welche erfindungsgemƤƟ mittels einer Dichtung 20 verschlieƟbar ist, wobei die Figuren 2 und 3 eine erste AusfĆ¼hrungsform und die Figuren 4 und 5 eine zweite AusfĆ¼hrungsform erkennen lassen.The others FIGS. 2 to 5 let in a detailed view of the dishwasher according to the invention, the passage opening 11 can be seen schematically, which is closable according to the invention by means of a seal 20, wherein the Figures 2 and 3 a first embodiment and the FIGS. 4 and 5 to recognize a second embodiment.

Wie sich aus einer Gesamtschau der Figuren 2 bis 5 ergibt, stellt der SpĆ¼lbehƤlter 2 zwecks Beschickung mit SpĆ¼lgut eine Beschickungsƶffnung 5 bereit, die mittels der SpĆ¼lraumtĆ¼r 6 fluiddicht verschlieƟbar ist, zu welchem Zweck der SpĆ¼lbehƤlter 2 eine TĆ¼rdichtung 19 bereitstellt, an der die TĆ¼r 6 bei geschlossener Beschickungsƶffnung 5 anliegt.As can be seen from a general view of the FIGS. 2 to 5 results, the washing container 2 for the purpose of loading with a load 5 ready feed, which is fluid-tight manner closed by means of the SpĆ¼lraumtĆ¼r 6, for which purpose the washing container 2 provides a door seal 19 to which the door 6 is applied when the feed opening 5 is closed.

Auf der oberen tĆ¼rseitigen Kante des SpĆ¼lbehƤlters 2 ist aus GrĆ¼nden einer verbesserten Stabilisierung ein U-fƶrmiges VerstƤrkungsprofil 13 angeordnet, das Ć¼ber eine Basis 14 und zwei sich davon erstreckende Schenkel 15 und 16 verfĆ¼gt. Die Schenkel 15 und 16 reichen nicht bis zur Unterseite der Arbeitsplatte 10, womit ein Spaltraum 17 geschaffen ist, der die zwischen SpĆ¼lbehƤlter 2 und Arbeitsplatte 10 befindliche Durchtrittsƶffnung 11 ausbildet. Alternativ kann auch vorgesehen sein, die Schenkel 15 und 16 zur AbstĆ¼tzung der Arbeitsplatte 10 bis zur Unterseite der Arbeitsplatte 10 auszubilden, in welchem Fall zur Schaffung der Durchtrittsƶffnung 11 eine entsprechende Perforation der Schenkel 15 und 16 vorzusehen ist. Jedenfalls ist eine Durchtrittsƶffnung 11 zwischen SpĆ¼lbehƤlter 2 einerseits und Arbeitsplatte 10 andererseits vorgesehen, durch die hindurch ein Teil 12 des KĆ¼hlluftstroms 9 tĆ¼rseitig abgefĆ¼hrt werden kann, wie dies insbesondere in Fig. 1 schematisch dargestellt ist.On the upper door-side edge of the washing container 2, a U-shaped reinforcing profile 13 is arranged for reasons of improved stabilization, which has a base 14 and two legs 15 and 16 extending therefrom. The legs 15 and 16 do not reach to the bottom of the worktop 10, whereby a gap 17 is created, which forms the between the washing container 2 and worktop 10 located passage opening 11. Alternatively, it can also be provided to form the legs 15 and 16 for supporting the worktop 10 to the underside of the worktop 10, in which case to provide the passage opening 11 a corresponding perforation of the legs 15 and 16 is provided. In any case, an opening 11 between the washing container 2 on the one hand and worktop 10 on the other hand provided, through which a part 12 of the cooling air flow 9 can be removed on the door side, as in particular Fig. 1 is shown schematically.

Die Durchtrittsƶffnung 11 ist mittels einer Dichtung 20 verschlieƟbar ausgebildet. Zu diesem Zweck ist die Dichtung 20 bewegbar ausgebildet und kann sich entweder in einer die Durchtrittsƶffnung 11 verschlieƟenden Verschlussstellung oder in einer die Durchtrittsƶffnung 11 freigebenden Freigabestellung befinden.The passage opening 11 is formed closable by means of a seal 20. For this purpose, the seal 20 is designed to be movable and can be located either in a closing position 11 closing the closing position or in a passage opening 11 releasing the release position.

GemƤƟ einer ersten AusfĆ¼hrungsform, die in den Figuren 2 und 3 dargestellt ist, ist die Dichtung 20 tĆ¼rbetƤtigbar ausgebildet. Die Figuren 4 und 5 zeigen indes eine aktuatorbetƤtigte Ausgestaltung der Dichtung 20.According to a first embodiment, which in the Figures 2 and 3 is shown, the seal 20 is formed door operable. The FIGS. 4 and 5 However, show an actuator-actuated embodiment of the seal 20th

GemƤƟ der AusfĆ¼hrungsform nach den Figuren 2 und 3 ist die Dichtung 20 als Zweikomponenten-Kunststoffteil ausgebildet und verfĆ¼gt Ć¼ber eine Trageinheit 22 und eine Dichtlippe 21. Dabei besteht die Trageinheit 22 aus einer Kunststoff-Hartkomponente, wohingegen die Dichtlippe 21 aus einer Kunststoff-Weichkomponente gebildet ist. Die Dichtlippe 21 ist unter Zwischenordnung eines Filmscharniers 23 an der Trageinheit 22 angebracht, so dass die Dichtlippe 21 relativ gegenĆ¼ber der Trageinheit 22 verschwenken kann.According to the embodiment of the Figures 2 and 3 the seal 20 is formed as a two-component plastic part and has a support unit 22 and a sealing lip 21. In this case, the support unit 22 consists of a plastic hard component, whereas the sealing lip 21 is formed of a plastic soft component. The sealing lip 21 is mounted with the interposition of a film hinge 23 on the support unit 22, so that the sealing lip 21 can pivot relative to the support unit 22.

Die Dichtung 20 wirkt gemƤƟ der AusfĆ¼hrungsform nach den Figuren 2 und 3 mit der TĆ¼r 6 zusammen. Dies bedeutet, dass die verschwenkbar ausgebildete Dichtlippe 21 bei verschlossener TĆ¼r 6 von der TĆ¼r 6 unter elastischer Vorspannung in ihrer Verschlussstellung gehalten ist, in der die Durchtrittsƶffnung 11 verschlossen ist. In dieser Stellung liegt die Dichtlippe 21 entweder abdichtend an der Unterseite der Arbeitsplatte 10 an oder die Durchtrittsƶffnung 11 wird mittels der Dichtlippe 21 direkt, das heiƟt ohne Kontakt mit der Arbeitsplatte 10 fluiddicht verschlossen. Sobald die TĆ¼r 6 auch nur spaltweise geƶffnet wird, wie dies in Fig. 3 dargestellt ist, verschwenkt die Dichtlippe 21 aufgrund der auf sie einwirkenden elastischen Vorspannung in ihre Freigabestellung, so dass die Durchtrittsƶffnung 11 geƶffnet ist, was ein Hindurchstrƶmen eines Teils 12 des Luftstroms 9 gestattet. Sobald die TĆ¼r 6 wieder geschlossen wird, legt sich die Dichtlippe 21 innenseitig an die TĆ¼r 6 an, so dass ein ƜberfĆ¼hren der TĆ¼r 6 in die Verschlussstellung automatisch auch zu einem VerschlieƟen der Durchtrittsƶffnung 11 fĆ¼hrt.The seal 20 acts according to the embodiment of the Figures 2 and 3 with the door 6 together. This means that the pivotally formed sealing lip 21 is held at a closed door 6 of the door 6 under elastic bias in its closed position, in which the passage opening 11 is closed. In this position, the sealing lip 21 is either sealingly on the underside of the worktop 10 or the passage opening 11 is closed by the sealing lip 21 directly, that is, without contact with the worktop 10 fluid-tight. As soon as the door 6 is opened only in columns, as in Fig. 3 is shown pivots the sealing lip 21 due to the elastic bias acting on it in its release position, so that the passage opening 11 is opened, which allows a passage of a portion 12 of the air flow 9. As soon as the door 6 is closed again, the sealing lip 21 bears against the door 6 on the inside, so that a transfer of the door 6 into the closed position automatically also leads to a closing of the passage opening 11.

Die Figuren 4 und 5 lassen eine AusfĆ¼hrungsform erkennen, dergemƤƟ ein Aktuator 26 zur BetƤtigung der Dichtlippe 21 vorgesehen ist.The FIGS. 4 and 5 let recognize an embodiment according to which an actuator 26 is provided for actuating the sealing lip 21.

Auch gemƤƟ dieser AusfĆ¼hrungsform ist die Dichtung 20 als Zweikomponenten-Kunststoffteil ausgebildet und verfĆ¼gt Ć¼ber eine Trageinheit 22 und eine Dichtlippe 21. Die Dichtlippe 21 ist mit einem StĆ¼tzabschnitt 27 ausgerĆ¼stet, der zur Ankopplung an die Wirkseite des Aktuators 22 dient. Der StĆ¼tzabschnitt 27 erstreckt sich in LƤngsrichtung der Dichtlippe 21. Er ist beispielsweise aus einem Kunststoffhartmaterial gebildet. Dies bewirkt, dass die Dichtlippe 21 im Verschwenkfall gleichmƤƟig kraftbeaufschlagt und damit auch gleichmƤƟig gefĆ¼hrt wird. Zur Verbesserung einer solch gleichmƤƟigen FĆ¼hrung der Dichtlippe 21 kƶnnen auch mehrere Aktuatoren 26 vorgesehen sein.Also according to this embodiment, the seal 20 is formed as a two-component plastic part and has a support unit 22 and a sealing lip 21. The sealing lip 21 is equipped with a support portion 27 which serves for coupling to the active side of the actuator 22. The support portion 27 extends in the longitudinal direction of the sealing lip 21. It is formed for example of a plastic hard material. This causes the sealing lip 21 in the pivoting force evenly applied and so that it is guided evenly. To improve such a uniform guidance of the sealing lip 21, a plurality of actuators 26 may be provided.

Fig. 4 lƤsst die Verschlussstellung hinsichtlich der Durchtrittsƶffnung 11 erkennen, wohingegen Fig. 5 eine geƶffnete Stellung der Durchtrittsƶffnung 11 zeigt. Der Vorteil der aktuatorbetƤtigen Dichtlippe 21 besteht darin, dass ein Ɩffnen und SchlieƟen der Durchtrittsƶffnung 11 mittels der Dichtlippe 21 unabhƤngig von der Stellung der TĆ¼r 6 erfolgen kann. Fig. 4 allows the closure position with respect to the passage opening 11 recognize, whereas Fig. 5 an open position of the passage opening 11 shows. The advantage of the actuator-actuated sealing lip 21 is that an opening and closing of the passage opening 11 by means of the sealing lip 21 can be made regardless of the position of the door 6.

GemƤƟ den gezeigten AusfĆ¼hrungsformen ist die GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine 1 als VollintegrationsgerƤt ausgebildet, das heiƟt die TĆ¼r 6 verfĆ¼gt Ć¼ber einen verschwenkbaren FlĆ¼gel 24, der frontseitig ein an die KĆ¼chenzeile angepasste Blende 25 trƤgt. Ersichtlich ist die erfindungsgemƤƟe Ausgestaltung auf eine solche Vollintegration der GeschirrspĆ¼lmaschine 1 nicht beschrƤnkt, da es hinsichtlich der AusfĆ¼hrungsform nach den Figuren 2 und 3 ausschlieƟlich auf eine Zusammenwirkung der Dichtlippe 21 mit dem FlĆ¼gel 24 der TĆ¼r 6 ankommt. Hinsichtlich der Aktuator-AusfĆ¼hrungsform nach den Figuren 4 und 5 ist sogar eine tĆ¼runabhƤngige Bedienung der Dichtlippe 21 realisiert.According to the embodiments shown, the dishwasher 1 is designed as a full integration device, that is, the door 6 has a pivotable wing 24, the front side carries an adapted to the kitchenette aperture 25. Obviously, the embodiment according to the invention is not limited to such a full integration of the dishwasher 1, as it is in terms of the embodiment according to the Figures 2 and 3 solely on a cooperation of the sealing lip 21 with the wing 24 of the door 6 arrives. With regard to the actuator embodiment according to the FIGS. 4 and 5 even a door-independent operation of the sealing lip 21 is realized.
