Definitions
- the invention relates to a dishwasher, in particular in the embodiment of a domestic dishwasher, with a washing compartment providing a washing compartment, which serves to receive items to be cleaned, a rotatable within the Spül mattersers arranged spray arm for acting on the items to be washed with rinsing liquor, a collecting pot into which the washing fluidly opens and a usable in the collecting pot screening device.
- Dishwashers of the type mentioned are well known from the prior art, which is why it does not require a separate documentary evidence at this point.
- Dishwashers of the generic type have a washing container, which provides a washing compartment.
- 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.
- 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.
- the dishwasher For loading of items to be cleaned with rinse liquor, the dishwasher has a scavenging chamber side formed spray.
- This spraying device generally provides rotatably mounted spray arms, with typically two or three such spray arms being provided.
- a loading of the items to be cleaned with rinse liquor by means of rotating spray arms.
- a circulating pump is provided, which is fluidly connected on the one hand to the collecting pot and on the other hand to the spray arms.
- the rinsing water discharged by the sprayer collects in the collecting pot, into which the rinsing container flows fluidly.
- the circulating pump promotes itself in the collecting pot accumulating rinse liquor to the spray arms of the spray, from where then takes place a delivery of the rinse liquor to be cleaned items.
- the collecting pot into which the rinsing container discharges, is separated from the spray chamber provided by the rinsing container by a screening device.
- the rinsing liquor circulated in the intended use case by the circulating pump therefore accumulates in the collecting pot only after passing through the screening device inserted into the collecting pot. Leftovers, dirt particles and / or similar impurities are retained by the sieve device, so that it comes to circulation of a so far purified by screening rinsing liquor.
- a screening device typically comprises a coarse screen, a fine screen and a flat screen.
- the contaminants retained by the screen must be manually removed by the user after completing a wash program and then discarded. Incidentally, it may happen over time that the pores of the screening device become clogged, so that user-side manual cleaning of the screening device is required.
- the screening device is the collector pot on the user side to remove and clean, for example, in a sink under running water. To facilitate such cleaning of the screening device, it is known from the prior art to make the screening device removable, which makes it possible to separate the individual screens of the screening device from each other for the purpose of simplified cleaning.
- the screening device whether the scavenging chamber side provided spraying device is not always readily accessible, for example, when a spray arm obstructs the user-side access to the screening device as a result of his occupied after completion of the final wash program end position.
- the spray arm for unimpeded access to the screen device on the user side is first to twist.
- the screen device is due to design by a user only uncomfortable to reach, since it is located in the collecting pot, that is located in the region of the bottom part of the washing.
- the invention proposes a dishwasher with the features of claim 1.
- the dishwashing machine has a rinsing container providing a rinsing compartment which serves to receive items to be cleaned, a spray arm rotatable within the rinsing container for loading the items to be rinsed with rinsing liquor, a collecting pot into which the rinsing container flows in fluid communication, and a screening device which can be inserted into the collecting pot on.
- the spray arm When used as intended, the spray arm is fluidically connected to a device-side standpipe, so that circulated wash liquor can get under aerodynamic interposition of the standpipe to the spray arm. It is provided according to the invention that the spray arm end of the standpipe is detachably arranged on this. If necessary, the spray arm can therefore be detached from the standpipe so that the spray arm can be removed from the standpipe.
- the screening device In the final assembled state, the screening device is sandwiched between the collecting pot, that is its bottom and the end of the standpipe arranged spray arm. In the user-side removal case of the spray arm to be detached from the standpipe, allowing unhindered access and unimpeded removal of the screening device.
- the embodiment according to the invention thus makes it possible to remove not only the screening device but, if required, also the spray arm. This not only allows a cleaning of the spray, but also a cleaning of the spray arm. It is also structurally advantageous that the spray is independent of position in each case easy to reach the user side and therefore to solve the standpipe. Once this is done, not only the spray arm in a simple manner, but also in the installed state underlying sieve device can be easily removed on the user side. The embodiment of the invention therefore also allows a user-side easy removal of a screening device to be cleaned.
- the re-insertion of the screening device is also possible in a simple manner, because this is only in the intended manner in the collecting pot bring. Then the spray arm is put on the end side of the standpipe on this, wherein with an arrangement of the spray arm on the standpipe and the screening device is fixed in position. Because in the final assembled state, the screening device between the end of the standpipe arranged spray arm on the one hand and the bottom of the collecting pot on which rests the screening device, on the other hand clamped.
- the screening device proposed by the invention is rotationally symmetrical according to a preferred embodiment.
- the screening device in the final assembled state is preferably centered on the standpipe which serves to supply rinsing liquor to the spray arm.
- the sieves of the screening device are therefore preferably formed around a common central axis. This central axis coincides with the device-side standpipe, which passes through the center of the rotationally symmetrical screening device in the final assembled state.
- a rotationally symmetrical screening device allows a uniformly distributed inflow of circulated rinsing liquor in the collecting pot, so that takes place in the event of contamination equal pollution of the screening device.
- the rotationally symmetrical arrangement also has the advantage that the clamping force acting on the sieve device in the final assembled state is equally distributed over the sieve device, so that a permanently secure positional positioning of the sieve device is ensured. In particular, scouring effects can be avoided, as may possibly occur with regard to the screens of previously known screening devices.
- a locking element which may be formed for example as a union nut.
- the standpipe and the union nut preferably cooperate via a bayonet closure, which is why the union nut has a part corresponding to the configuration of serving as an abutment for the spray arm standpipe part of a bayonet closure.
- the locking element which is designed in particular as a union nut, serves as a central actuator to the user side with just a handle to solve the spray arm intended from the standpipe. Consequently, the construction according to the invention makes it possible to remove the spray arm and screening device in a simple manner after a single actuation of the locking element and then to be able to clean it.
- the locking element serves insofar as a means to ensure the same position and spray arm screen device. In particular, a common locking and / or unlocking of spray arm and screen device can be effected by actuation of the locking element.
- the union nut acts in the intended use case together with the standpipe.
- the standpipe on a union nut side section, which is an opposite to the bayonet lock part of the nut.
- these two parts form the bayonet closure designed for position-safe arrangement of the union nut on the standpipe.
- the union nut has a siebo direction side open edge channel.
- the screening device engages in the final assembled state. It is thus not only a clamping of the screening device between the bottom of the collecting pot and spray arm achieved in the direction of the central axis of the screening device, it is also achieved a position assurance in a direction transverse to the central axis direction. Because by the positive engagement of the screening device in the edge channel of the union nut, the screening device is fixed in position in relation to the union nut and thus also in relation to the stationary standpipe.
- the clamping of the screening device between the spray arm and the bottom of the collecting pot is vorgzutus under elastic deformation of the screening device.
- This elastic deformation of the screening device ensures that the screen device presses in the final assembled state in the height direction of the central axis from below against the fixed position on the standpipe nut.
- the trained between union nut and standpipe bayonet is so loaded, which counteracts unintentional loosening of the bayonet closure by, for example, vibration phenomena.
- the sieve device has a coarse sieve, a fine sieve and a surface sieve, which are designed to be removable from one another, wherein they are preferably arranged concentrically in the final assembled state. It is such a central orientation of all sieves the screening device ensures the center axis of the screening device.
- the coarse filter interacts with the union nut.
- the coarse filter is equipped with a union nut side edge formed, which engages positively in the final assembled state in the provided by the nut edge channel.
- the peripheral edge of the coarse sieve and the peripheral channel of the union nut are coordinated in their geometric dimensions corresponding to one another such that a relative movement transversely to the center axis of the screening device is effectively prevented.
- the union nut and the coarse filter carry mutually corresponding position markings. These serve to be able to visually visually check in a simple manner on the user side, whether the union nut is properly aligned relative to the coarse sieve with respect to its angle of rotation, it is thus properly arranged on the standpipe, so there is a properly secured arrangement of the spray arm.
- the union nut preferably has at least one passage opening or a transparent section through which a position marking carried by the coarse sieve is visible, at least in the case of proper alignment, in particular rotation of the union nut relative to the coarse sieve.
- the position mark carried by the union nut can be formed by the passage opening or the transparent portion itself.
- the coarse screen may additionally have a separate position mark to more accurately identify the center of the through hole or transparent portion. This allows an even better comparison of the relative positioning of the union nut and coarse sieve. In this embodiment, the provision of a position marker on the flat screen is unnecessary.
- the invention further proposes a spraying device for a dishwasher, in particular for a dishwasher of the type described above, with a spray arm which is rotatably arranged in the final assembled state and with a means for releasably arranging the spray arm on a machine-side abutment.
- the spraying device thus provides at least one spray arm, which is both rotatable and detachable.
- a means is provided according to the invention that serves the releasable arrangement of the spray arm on the associated abutment of the dishwasher.
- the detachable arrangement of the spray arm has the advantage of being able to remove the spray arm if necessary. For example, such a removal is desired on the user side in order to be able to clean the spray arm independently of the execution of a rinsing program.
- the detachable arrangement thus allows a user, if necessary, to detach the spray arm from the machine-side abutment and remove it from the dishwasher. It can then be done outside the dishwasher, a cleaning of the spray arm, for example, in a sink under running water. After cleaning, the spray arm can be re-introduced into the dishwasher by being arranged as intended on the machine-side abutment.
- a union nut is used as a means for releasable arrangement of the spray arm on a machine-side abutment.
- This is preferably arranged captive on the spray arm and has a connection contour which is formed corresponding to a mating contour of the abutment.
- a bayonet fitting is used as the connection contour, because this allows a user-side particularly simple handling for mounting or dismounting of the spray arm.
- the invention further proposes a screening system for a dishwasher, in particular for a dishwasher of the type described above, with a sieve device at least partially accommodated in the final assembled state by a collecting pot of the dishwasher, and a spray arm of a spraying device rotatably arranged in the final assembled state and detachably mounted on a machine-side abutment.
- the screening device is formed about a central axis, wherein the center axis of the screening device and the axis of rotation of the spray arm coincide.
- the screening system proposed by the invention has a screening device on the one hand and a spray arm on the other hand.
- the spray arm is rotatably arranged, namely about an axis of rotation.
- the sieve device in turn has a central axis, wherein according to the invention it is provided that the central axis and the axis of rotation coincide. When used as intended, the spray arm therefore rotates about the center axis of the screening device.
- the embodiment of the invention provides a symmetrical arrangement, namely a rotationally symmetrical arrangement of screening and spray arm.
- the spray arm is arranged detachably in an already described manner on an abutment of the dishwasher, so that it is particularly simple after removing the spray arm due to the rotationally symmetrical configuration on the user side to be able to remove the spray arm and sieve device to the washing compartment of the dishwasher.
- the screening device has concentrically arranged screens, which also simplifies the operation of the screening device, in particular in the case of removal.
- the sieves of the screening device are also formed according to a further feature of the invention in cross section in each case circular. This also serves the simplified handling.
- the spray arm and the screening device by means of only one actuating or locking element, in particular the union nut to be able to fix the position or dissolve a positional fixation for the purpose of removal.
- This provides, in contrast to the prior art, a significantly improved and simplified in the implementation handling.
- FIG. 1 can be seen in a purely schematic representation of a dishwasher 1 in the embodiment of a program-controlled household dishwasher.
- the dishwasher 1 has, in a manner known per se, a housing 2 which accommodates a washing container 3.
- the washing container 3 in turn provides a washing compartment 4 for receiving items to be cleaned.
- This charging opening 9 is closed fluid-tight by means of a Spülraumt 10, the Spülraumt 10 is rotatably mounted about a horizontal pivot axis extending horizontally.
- the dishwasher 1 When used as intended, the dishes to be cleaned are treated with rinsing liquor, for which purpose the dishwasher 1 has a spraying device 6.
- the spray device 6 includes an upper spray arm 7 and a lower spray arm 8.
- the spraying device 6 is fluidly connected to a circulating pump, not shown in the figures, of the dishwasher 1, by means of which the spraying arms 7 and 8 of the spraying device 6 are supplied with washing liquor.
- the washing compartment 3 which provides the washing compartment 4, opens with respect to the plane of the drawing FIG. 1 on the underside in a collecting pot 5 a.
- the circulating pump not shown in the figures is connected. Fluidtechnisch is the collecting pot 5 from the washing chamber 4 of the washing container 3 by a in FIG. 1 Screening device 12 not shown separately.
- the rinsing liquor circulated in the intended use case by the circulating pump collects after being drained from the items to be washed and after passing through the screening unit 12 in the collecting pot 5. From there it passes in the circulation operation in the manner already described to the spray arms 7 and 8 of the sprayer. 6
- the screening device 12 is, as in particular a synopsis of Figures 2 and 8th can recognize, rotationally symmetrical.
- the screening device 12 has an area sieve 14, a coarse sieve 15 and a fine sieve 16, which are each aligned coaxially to a common central axis 24.
- the screening device 12 passes through the center.
- the central axis of the standpipe 17 and the central axis 24 of the screening device 12 thus coincide.
- the lower spray arm 8 thus rotates about the central axis 24 of the sieve device 12.
- the spray arm end of the standpipe 17 is detachably arranged on this. This makes it possible to separate the spray arm 8, if necessary, from the standpipe 17 and remove the dishwasher 1 can.
- the screening device 12 can be removed from the collecting pot 5 in a simple manner that the screening device 12 is lifted in the height direction of its central axis 24 upwards from the collecting pot 5, as shown in the illustration FIG. 8 lets recognize.
- a union nut 13 For releasable arrangement of the spray arm 8 on the stand pipe 17 is a union nut 13.
- the union nut 13 In the final assembled state, the union nut 13 is fixed in position relative to the standpipe 17. It is provided for this purpose a bayonet closure, wherein corresponding cams 18 are provided by an upper portion 22 of the standpipe 17.
- the union nut 13 further has a cylindrically shaped portion in the form of a tubular extension 23, which abuts the outer circumference of the standpipe 17 in the final assembled state. It is achieved as a tilt-safe arrangement of the union nut 13 on the standpipe 17.
- the union nut has a circumferential edge channel 21 on the stabbing direction side.
- a marginal edge 20 of the coarse sieve 15 of the sieve device 12 provided in the final assembled state interlocks in a form-fitting manner.
- the screening device 12 is clamped in the final assembled state between the bottom of the collecting pot 15 and the fixed relative to the standpipe 17 union nut 13. With a loosening of this union nut 13, the connection between the union nut and standpipe 17 is dissolved, which on the one hand makes it possible to remove the spray arm 8 as well as the screening device 12 the washing chamber 4.
- This unlocking and locking of screening device 12 and spray arm 8 with only a single control is possible. This simplifies the user-side unlocking and locking process and also makes it easier to be able to remove the screening device 12 and the spray arm 8 of the dishwasher for example, a manual cleaning.
- FIG. 8 furthermore, the collecting pot 15 is aligned centrally to the bottom part 11 of the washing container 3. Consequently, there is a rotationally symmetrical alignment of collecting pot, standpipe 17, screening device 12 and spray arm 8, wherein the rotational symmetry around the central axis 24 results.

Geschirrspülmaschinen der eingangs genannten Art sind aus dem Stand der Technik an sich gut bekannt, weshalb es eines gesonderten druckschriftlichen Nachweises an dieser Stelle nicht bedarf.Dishwashers of the type mentioned are well known from the prior art, which is why it does not require a separate documentary evidence at this point.
Geschirrspülmaschinen der gattungsgemäßen Art verfügen über einen Spülbehälter, der einen Spülraum bereitstellt. Dieser Spülraum ist verwenderseitig über eine Beschickungsöffnung zugänglich, die mittels einer verschwenkbar gelagerten Spülraumtür fluiddicht verschließbar ist. Im bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendungsfall dient der Spülbehälter der Aufnahme von zu reinigendem Spülgut, bei dem es sich im Falle einer Haushaltsgeschirrspülmaschine insbesondere um Geschirr, Besteckteile und/oder dergleichen handeln kann.Dishwashers of the generic type have a washing container, which provides a washing compartment. 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 Spülgut mit Spülflotte verfügt die Geschirrspülmaschine über eine spülraumseitig ausgebildete Sprüheinrichtung. Diese Sprüheinrichtung stellt in aller Regel verdrehbar gelagerte Sprüharme zur Verfügung, wobei typischerweise zwei oder drei solcher Sprüharme vorgesehen sind. Im bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendungsfall erfolgt eine Beaufschlagung des zu reinigenden Spülguts mit Spülflotte mittels sich drehender Sprüharme. Zwecks Versorgung der Sprüharme mit Spülflotte ist eine Umwälzpumpe vorgesehen, die einerseits an den Sammeltopf und andererseits an die Sprüharme strömungstechnisch angeschlossen ist.For loading of items to be cleaned with rinse liquor, the dishwasher has a scavenging chamber side formed spray. 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. In order to supply the spray arms with rinsing liquor, a circulating pump is provided, which is fluidly connected on the one hand to the collecting pot and on the other hand to the spray arms.
Im bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendungsfall sammelt sich die von der Sprüheinrichtung abgegebene Spülflotte im Sammeltopf an, in den der Spülbehälter strömungstechnisch einmündet. Im Umwälzbetrieb fördert die Umwälzpumpe die sich im Sammeltopf ansammelnde Spülflotte zu den Sprüharmen der Sprüheinrichtung, von wo aus dann eine Abgabe der Spülflotte auf das zu reinigende Spülgut stattfindet.When used as intended, the rinsing water discharged by the sprayer collects in the collecting pot, into which the rinsing container flows fluidly. In circulation, the circulating pump promotes itself in the collecting pot accumulating rinse liquor to the spray arms of the spray, from where then takes place a delivery of the rinse liquor to be cleaned items.
Fluidtechnisch ist der Sammeltopf, in den der Spülbehälter einmündet, von dem durch den Spülbehälter bereitgestellten Sprühraum durch eine Siebeinrichtung getrennt. Die im bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendungsfall von der Umwälzpumpe umgewälzte Spülflotte sammelt sich im Sammeltopf mithin erst nach einem Passieren der in den Sammeltopf eingesetzten Siebeinrichtung an. Speisereste, Schmutzpartikel und/oder dergleichen Verunreinigungen werden von der Siebeinrichtung zurückgehalten, so dass es zur Umwälzung einer insoweit durch Siebung gereinigten Spülflotte kommt. Eine solche Siebeinrichtung umfasst typischerweise ein Grobsieb, ein Feinsieb sowie ein Flächensieb.In terms of fluid technology, the collecting pot, into which the rinsing container discharges, is separated from the spray chamber provided by the rinsing container by a screening device. The rinsing liquor circulated in the intended use case by the circulating pump therefore accumulates in the collecting pot only after passing through the screening device inserted into the collecting pot. Leftovers, dirt particles and / or similar impurities are retained by the sieve device, so that it comes to circulation of a so far purified by screening rinsing liquor. Such a screening device typically comprises a coarse screen, a fine screen and a flat screen.
Die von der Siebeinrichtung zurückgehaltenen Verunreinigungen müssen verwenderseitig nach Abschluss eines Spülprogramms manuell entfernt und alsdann entsorgt werden. Im Übrigen kann es im Laufe der Zeit dazu kommen, dass sich die Poren der Siebeinrichtung zusetzen, so dass eine verwenderseitige manuelle Reinigung der Siebeinrichtung erforderlich ist. Zu diesem Zweck ist die Siebeinrichtung dem Sammeltopf verwenderseitig zu entnehmen und zu reinigen, beispielsweise in einer Spüle unter fließendem Wasser. Um eine solche Reinigung der Siebeinrichtung zu erleichtern, ist es aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, die Siebeinrichtung demontierbar auszubilden, was es gestattet, die einzelnen Siebe der Siebeinrichtung voneinander zwecks vereinfachter Reinigung zu lösen.The contaminants retained by the screen must be manually removed by the user after completing a wash program and then discarded. Incidentally, it may happen over time that the pores of the screening device become clogged, so that user-side manual cleaning of the screening device is required. For this purpose, the screening device is the collector pot on the user side to remove and clean, for example, in a sink under running water. To facilitate such cleaning of the screening device, it is known from the prior art to make the screening device removable, which makes it possible to separate the individual screens of the screening device from each other for the purpose of simplified cleaning.
Obgleich sich vorbekannte Siebeinrichtungen im alltäglichen Praxiseinsatz bewährt haben, besteht Verbesserungsbedarf, insbesondere mit Blick auf deren Reinigung im Verschmutzungsfall. Denn es wird die unter Umständen sehr aufwendige Entnahme der Siebeinrichtung aus dem Sammeltopf der Geschirrspülmaschine verwenderseitig als nachteilig empfunden. So ist die Siebeinrichtung ob der spülraumseitig vorgesehenen Sprüheinrichtung nicht immer ohne weiteres zugänglich, beispielsweise dann, wenn ein Sprüharm infolge seiner nach Beendigung des letzten Spülprogramms eingenommenen Endposition den verwenderseitigen Zugriff auf die Siebeinrichtung behindert. In diesem Fall ist der Sprüharm für einen ungehinderten Zugriff auf die Siebeinrichtung verwenderseitig zunächst zu verdrehen. Darüber hinaus ist die Siebeinrichtung konstruktionsbedingt durch einen Verwender nur unkomfortabel zu erreichen, da sie im Sammeltopf, das heißt im Bereich des Bodenteils des Spülbehälters angeordnet ist.Although previously known screening devices have proven themselves in everyday practical use, there is a need for improvement, in particular with regard to their cleaning in the event of contamination. Because it is the sometimes very expensive removal of the screening device from the collecting pot of the dishwasher on the user side perceived as disadvantageous. Thus, the screening device whether the scavenging chamber side provided spraying device is not always readily accessible, for example, when a spray arm obstructs the user-side access to the screening device as a result of his occupied after completion of the final wash program end position. In this case, the spray arm for unimpeded access to the screen device on the user side is first to twist. In addition, the screen device is due to design by a user only uncomfortable to reach, since it is located in the collecting pot, that is located in the region of the bottom part of the washing.
Es ist deshalb ausgehend vom Vorbeschriebenen die Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Geschirrspülmaschine der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weiterzuentwickeln, dass eine vereinfachte Handhabung der Siebeinrichtung gestattet ist, insbesondere zu Reinigungszwecken.It is therefore based on the above-described object of the invention to further develop a dishwasher of the type mentioned in that a simplified handling of the screening device is allowed, in particular for cleaning purposes.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird mit der Erfindung eine Geschirrspülmaschine mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 1 vorgeschlagen.To solve this problem, the invention proposes a dishwasher with the features of
Die erfindungsgemäße Geschirrspülmaschine weist einen einen Spülraum bereitstellenden Spülbehälter, der der Aufnahme von zu reinigendem Spülgut dient, einen innerhalb des Spülbehälters verdrehbar angeordneten Sprüharm zur Beaufschlagung des Spülguts mit Spülflotte, einen Sammeltopf, in den der Spülbehälter strömungstechnisch einmündet, und eine in den Sammeltopf einsetzbare Siebeinrichtung auf.The dishwashing machine according to the invention has a rinsing container providing a rinsing compartment which serves to receive items to be cleaned, a spray arm rotatable within the rinsing container for loading the items to be rinsed with rinsing liquor, a collecting pot into which the rinsing container flows in fluid communication, and a screening device which can be inserted into the collecting pot on.
Im bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendungsfall ist der Sprüharm strömungstechnisch an ein geräteseitiges Standrohr angeschlossen, so dass umgewälzte Spülflotte unter strömungstechnischer Zwischenschaltung des Standrohres zum Sprüharm gelangen kann. Dabei ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass der Sprüharm endseitig des Standrohres lösbar an diesem angeordnet ist. Der Sprüharm kann mithin im Bedarfsfall vom Standrohr gelöst werden, so dass sich der Sprüharm vom Standrohr abnehmen lässt.When used as intended, the spray arm is fluidically connected to a device-side standpipe, so that circulated wash liquor can get under aerodynamic interposition of the standpipe to the spray arm. It is provided according to the invention that the spray arm end of the standpipe is detachably arranged on this. If necessary, the spray arm can therefore be detached from the standpipe so that the spray arm can be removed from the standpipe.
Im endmontierten Zustand ist die Siebeinrichtung sandwichartig zwischen dem Sammeltopf, das heißt dessen Boden und dem endseitig des Standrohres angeordneten Sprüharms eingespannt. Im verwenderseitigen Entnahmefall ist der Sprüharm vom Standrohr zu lösen, was einen ungehinderten Zugriff und eine ungehinderte Entnahme der Siebeinrichtung gestattet.In the final assembled state, the screening device is sandwiched between the collecting pot, that is its bottom and the end of the standpipe arranged spray arm. In the user-side removal case of the spray arm to be detached from the standpipe, allowing unhindered access and unimpeded removal of the screening device.
Die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung macht es mithin möglich, nicht nur die Siebeinrichtung zu entnehmen, sondern im Bedarfsfall auch den Sprüharm. Dies gestattet nicht nur eine Reinigung der Sprüheinrichtung, sondern ebenso auch eine Reinigung des Sprüharms. Dabei ist konstruktionsbedingt ferner von Vorteil, dass der Sprüharm lageunabhängig in jedem Fall verwenderseitig einfach zu erreichen und mithin vom Standrohr zu lösen ist. Sobald dies geschehen ist, kann nicht nur der Sprüharm auf einfache Weise, sondern auch die im Einbauzustand darunterliegende Siebeinrichtung verwenderseitig ohne weiteres entnommen werden. Die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung gestattet deshalb auch eine verwenderseitig einfache Entnahme einer zu reinigenden Siebeinrichtung.The embodiment according to the invention thus makes it possible to remove not only the screening device but, if required, also the spray arm. This not only allows a cleaning of the spray, but also a cleaning of the spray arm. It is also structurally advantageous that the spray is independent of position in each case easy to reach the user side and therefore to solve the standpipe. Once this is done, not only the spray arm in a simple manner, but also in the installed state underlying sieve device can be easily removed on the user side. The embodiment of the invention therefore also allows a user-side easy removal of a screening device to be cleaned.
Das Wiedereinsetzen der Siebeinrichtung ist ebenfalls in einfacher Weise möglich, denn ist diese lediglich in bestimmungsgemäßer Weise in den Sammeltopf einzubringen. Alsdann ist der Sprüharm endseitig des Standrohres auf dieses aufzusetzen, wobei mit einer Anordnung des Sprüharms am Standrohr auch die Siebeinrichtung lagefixiert ist. Denn im endmontierten Zustand ist die Siebeinrichtung zwischen dem endseitig des Standrohrs angeordneten Sprüharm einerseits und dem Boden des Sammeltopfes, auf dem die Siebeinrichtung aufliegt, andererseits eingeklemmt.The re-insertion of the screening device is also possible in a simple manner, because this is only in the intended manner in the collecting pot bring. Then the spray arm is put on the end side of the standpipe on this, wherein with an arrangement of the spray arm on the standpipe and the screening device is fixed in position. Because in the final assembled state, the screening device between the end of the standpipe arranged spray arm on the one hand and the bottom of the collecting pot on which rests the screening device, on the other hand clamped.
Die mit der Erfindung vorgeschlagene Siebeinrichtung ist gemäß einem vorgezogenen Ausführungsbeispiel rotationssymmetrisch ausgebildet. Insbesondere ist die Siebeinrichtung im endmontierten Zustand vorzugsweise mittig von dem Standrohr, das der Zuführung von Spülflotte zum Sprüharm dient, durchgriffen. Die Siebe der Siebeinrichtung sind mithin vorzugsweise um eine gemeinsame Mittelachse ausgebildet. Diese Mittelachse fällt mit dem geräteseitigen Standrohr zusammen, das die rotationssymmetrisch ausgebildete Siebeinrichtung im endmontierten Zustand mittig durchgreift. Eine rotationssymmetrisch ausgebildete Siebeinrichtung ermöglicht einen gleichverteilten Zufluss von umgewälzter Spülflotte in den Sammeltopf, so dass im Verschmutzungsfall eine Gleichverschmutzung der Siebeinrichtung stattfindet. Die rotationssymmetrische Anordnung hat zudem den Vorteil, dass die im endmontierten Zustand auf die Siebeinrichtung einwirkende Einspannkraft über die Siebeinrichtung gleich verteilt ist, so dass eine dauerhaft sichere Lagepositionierung der Siebeinrichtung gewährleistet ist. Es können insbesondere Unterspüleffekte vermieden werden, wie dies hinsichtlich der Siebe vorbekannter Siebeinrichtungen unter Umständen vorkommen kann.The screening device proposed by the invention is rotationally symmetrical according to a preferred embodiment. In particular, the screening device in the final assembled state is preferably centered on the standpipe which serves to supply rinsing liquor to the spray arm. The sieves of the screening device are therefore preferably formed around a common central axis. This central axis coincides with the device-side standpipe, which passes through the center of the rotationally symmetrical screening device in the final assembled state. A rotationally symmetrical screening device allows a uniformly distributed inflow of circulated rinsing liquor in the collecting pot, so that takes place in the event of contamination equal pollution of the screening device. The rotationally symmetrical arrangement also has the advantage that the clamping force acting on the sieve device in the final assembled state is equally distributed over the sieve device, so that a permanently secure positional positioning of the sieve device is ensured. In particular, scouring effects can be avoided, as may possibly occur with regard to the screens of previously known screening devices.
Zur lösbaren Anordnung des Sprüharms am Standrohr dient gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ein Verriegelungselement, welches beispielsweise als Überwurfmutter ausgebildet sein kann. Dabei wirken das Standrohr und die Überwurfmutter bevorzugterweise über einen Bajonettverschluss zusammen, weshalb die Überwurfmutter einen korrespondierend zur Ausgestaltung des als Widerlager für den Sprüharm dienenden Standrohrs ausgebildeten Teil eines Bajonettverschlusses aufweist.For releasable arrangement of the spray arm on the standpipe is used according to a further feature of the invention, a locking element, which may be formed for example as a union nut. In this case, the standpipe and the union nut preferably cooperate via a bayonet closure, which is why the union nut has a part corresponding to the configuration of serving as an abutment for the spray arm standpipe part of a bayonet closure.
Das Verriegelungselement, welches insbesondere als Überwurfmutter ausgebildet ist, dient als zentrales Betätigungselement dazu, verwenderseitig mit nur einem Handgriff den Sprüharm bestimmungsgemäß vom Standrohr zu lösen. Die erfindungsgemäße Konstruktion erlaubt es mithin, Sprüharm und Siebeinrichtung nach einem einzigen Betätigen des Verriegelungselements in einfacher Weise entnehmen und alsdann reinigen zu können. Das Verriegelungselement dient insofern als Mittel, Sprüharm und Siebeinrichtung gleichermaßen lagezusichern. Insbesondere ist durch Betätigung des Verriegelungselements eine gemeinsame Verriegelung und/oder Entriegelung von Sprüharm und Siebeinrichtung bewirkbar.The locking element, which is designed in particular as a union nut, serves as a central actuator to the user side with just a handle to solve the spray arm intended from the standpipe. Consequently, the construction according to the invention makes it possible to remove the spray arm and screening device in a simple manner after a single actuation of the locking element and then to be able to clean it. The locking element serves insofar as a means to ensure the same position and spray arm screen device. In particular, a common locking and / or unlocking of spray arm and screen device can be effected by actuation of the locking element.
Die Überwurfmutter wirkt im bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendungsfall mit dem Standrohr zusammen. Zu diesem Zweck weist das Standrohr einen überwurfmutterseitigen Abschnitt auf, der ein Gegenteil zum Bajonettverschlussteil der Überwurfmutter darstellt. Im montierten Zustand bilden diese beiden Teile den zur lagesicheren Anordnung der Überwurfmutter am Standrohr ausgebildeten Bajonettverschluss aus.The union nut acts in the intended use case together with the standpipe. For this purpose, the standpipe on a union nut side section, which is an opposite to the bayonet lock part of the nut. In the assembled state, these two parts form the bayonet closure designed for position-safe arrangement of the union nut on the standpipe.
Es ist bevorzugterweise vorgesehen, dass die Überwurfmutter einen siebeinrichtungsseitig offenen Randkanal aufweist. In diesen Randkanal greift die Siebeinrichtung im endmontierten Zustand ein. Es ist so nicht nur eine Einspannung der Siebeinrichtung zwischen Boden des Sammeltopfes und Sprüharm in Richtung der Mittelachse der Siebeinrichtung erreicht, es ist auch eine Positionssicherung in einer quer zur Mittelachse verlaufenden Richtung erreicht. Denn durch den formschlüssigen Eingriff der Siebeinrichtung in den Randkanal der Überwurfmutter ist die Siebeinrichtung in Relation zur Überwurfmutter und damit auch in Relation zum ortsfesten Standrohr lagefixiert.It is preferably provided that the union nut has a siebo direction side open edge channel. In this edge channel, the screening device engages in the final assembled state. It is thus not only a clamping of the screening device between the bottom of the collecting pot and spray arm achieved in the direction of the central axis of the screening device, it is also achieved a position assurance in a direction transverse to the central axis direction. Because by the positive engagement of the screening device in the edge channel of the union nut, the screening device is fixed in position in relation to the union nut and thus also in relation to the stationary standpipe.
Die Einspannung der Siebeinrichtung zwischen Sprüharm und Boden des Sammeltopfes erfolgt bevorgzuterweise unter federelastischer Verformung der Siebeinrichtung. Diese federelastische Verformung der Siebeinrichtung sorgt dafür, dass die Siebeinrichtung im endmontierten Zustand in Höhenrichtung der Mittelachse von unten gegen die am Standrohr lagefixierte Überwurfmutter drückt. Der zwischen Überwurfmutter und Standrohr ausgebildete Bajonettverschluss wird so kraftbelastet, was einem unbeabsichtigten Lösen des Bajonettverschlusses durch beispielsweise Vibrationserscheinungen entgegenwirkt.The clamping of the screening device between the spray arm and the bottom of the collecting pot is vorgzuterweise under elastic deformation of the screening device. This elastic deformation of the screening device ensures that the screen device presses in the final assembled state in the height direction of the central axis from below against the fixed position on the standpipe nut. The trained between union nut and standpipe bayonet is so loaded, which counteracts unintentional loosening of the bayonet closure by, for example, vibration phenomena.
Die Siebeinrichtung verfügt über ein Grobsieb, ein Feinsieb und ein Flächensieb, die zueinander demontierbar ausgebildet sind, wobei sie im endmontierten Zustand vorzugsweise konzentrisch angeordnet sind. Es ist so eine mittige Ausrichtung aller Siebe der Siebeinrichtung zur Mittenachse der Siebeinrichtung gewährleistet. Gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass das Grobsieb mit der Überwurfmutter zusammenwirkt. Zu diesem Zweck ist das Grobsieb mit einer überwurfmutterseitig ausgebildeten Randkante ausgerüstet, die im endmontierten Zustand in den von der Überwurfmutter bereitgestellten Randkanal formschlüssig eingreift. Dabei sind die Randkante des Grobsiebs und der Randkanal der Überwurfmutter in ihren geometrischen Abmessungen derart korrespondierend aufeinander abgestimmt, dass eine relative Bewegung quer zur Mittenachse der Siebeinrichtung wirkungsvoll unterbunden ist.The sieve device has a coarse sieve, a fine sieve and a surface sieve, which are designed to be removable from one another, wherein they are preferably arranged concentrically in the final assembled state. It is such a central orientation of all sieves the screening device ensures the center axis of the screening device. According to a further feature of the invention it is provided that the coarse filter interacts with the union nut. For this purpose, the coarse filter is equipped with a union nut side edge formed, which engages positively in the final assembled state in the provided by the nut edge channel. In this case, the peripheral edge of the coarse sieve and the peripheral channel of the union nut are coordinated in their geometric dimensions corresponding to one another such that a relative movement transversely to the center axis of the screening device is effectively prevented.
Gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung tragen die Überwurfmutter und das Grobsieb zueinander korrespondierende Positionsmarkierungen. Diese dienen dazu, auf einfache Weise benutzerseitig visuell überprüfen zu können, ob die Überwurfmutter bezüglich ihres Verdrehwinkels ordnungsgemäß relativ zum Grobsieb ausgerichtet ist, sie somit ordnungsgemäß am Standrohr angeordnet ist, also eine ordnungsgemäß gesicherte Anordnung des Sprüharms vorliegt. Vorzugsweise weist die Überwurfmutter hierzu zumindest eine Durchgangsöffnung oder einen transparenten Abschnitt auf, durch die oder den hindurch eine vom Grobsieb getragene Positionsmarkierung zumindest bei ordnungsgemäßer Ausrichtung, insbesondere Verdrehung der Überwurfmutter relativ zum Grobsieb sichtbar ist. Dabei kann die von der Überwurfmutter getragene Positionsmarkierung durch die Durchgangsöffnung oder den transparenten Abschnitt selbst gebildet werden. Bei ordnungsgemäßer Ausrichtung bzw. Verdrehung der Überwurfmutter relativ zum Grobsieb ist die vom Grobsieb getragene Positionsmarkierung mittig innerhalb der von der Überwurfmutter bereitgestellten Durchgangsöffnung oder des transparenten Abschnitts positioniert. Vorzugsweise kann das Grobsieb jedoch zusätzlich eine separate Positionsmarkierung aufweisen, um die Mitte der Durchgangsöffnung oder des transparenten Abschnitts genauer zu kennzeichnen. Dies ermöglicht einen noch besseren Abgleich der relativen Positionierung von Überwurfmutter und Grobsieb. Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel erübrigt sich das Vorsehen einer Positionsmarkierung am Flächensieb.According to a further feature of the invention, the union nut and the coarse filter carry mutually corresponding position markings. These serve to be able to visually visually check in a simple manner on the user side, whether the union nut is properly aligned relative to the coarse sieve with respect to its angle of rotation, it is thus properly arranged on the standpipe, so there is a properly secured arrangement of the spray arm. For this purpose, the union nut preferably has at least one passage opening or a transparent section through which a position marking carried by the coarse sieve is visible, at least in the case of proper alignment, in particular rotation of the union nut relative to the coarse sieve. In this case, the position mark carried by the union nut can be formed by the passage opening or the transparent portion itself. With proper alignment or rotation of the nut relative to the coarse sieve carried by the coarse filter position marker is positioned centrally within the provided by the union nut through hole or the transparent portion. Preferably, however, the coarse screen may additionally have a separate position mark to more accurately identify the center of the through hole or transparent portion. This allows an even better comparison of the relative positioning of the union nut and coarse sieve. In this embodiment, the provision of a position marker on the flat screen is unnecessary.
Mit der Erfindung wird desweiteren vorgeschlagen eine Sprüheinrichtung für eine Geschirrspülmaschine, insbesondere für eine Geschirrspülmaschine der vorbeschriebenen Art, mit einem im endmontierten Zustand verdrehbar angeordneten Sprüharm sowie mit einem Mittel zur lösbaren Anordnung des Sprüharms an einem maschinenseitigen Widerlager.The invention further proposes a spraying device for a dishwasher, in particular for a dishwasher of the type described above, with a spray arm which is rotatably arranged in the final assembled state and with a means for releasably arranging the spray arm on a machine-side abutment.
Die Sprüheinrichtung nach der Erfindung stellt mithin zumindest einen Sprüharm bereit, der sowohl verdrehbar als auch lösbar ausgebildet ist. Zu diesem Zweck ist erfindungsgemäß ein Mittel vorgesehen, dass der lösbaren Anordnung des Sprüharms an dem zugehörigen Widerlager der Geschirrspülmaschine dient. Dabei hat die lösbare Anordnung des Sprüharms den Vorteil, den Sprüharm im Bedarfsfall entnehmen zu können. Eine solche Entnahme ist beispielsweise verwenderseitig erwünscht, um den Sprüharm unabhängig von der Durchführung eines Spülprogramms reinigen zu können. Die lösbare Anordnung gestattet es einem Verwender mithin, den Sprüharm im Bedarfsfall vom maschinenseitigen Widerlager lösen und der Geschirrspülmaschine entnehmen zu können. Es kann dann außerhalb der Geschirrspülmaschine eine Reinigung des Sprüharms vorgenommen werden, beispielsweise in einer Spüle unter fließendem Wasser. Nach erfolgter Reinigung kann der Sprüharm in die Geschirrspülmaschine wieder eingebracht werden, indem er am maschinenseitigen Widerlager bestimmungsgemäß angeordnet wird.The spraying device according to the invention thus provides at least one spray arm, which is both rotatable and detachable. For this purpose, a means is provided according to the invention that serves the releasable arrangement of the spray arm on the associated abutment of the dishwasher. The detachable arrangement of the spray arm has the advantage of being able to remove the spray arm if necessary. For example, such a removal is desired on the user side in order to be able to clean the spray arm independently of the execution of a rinsing program. The detachable arrangement thus allows a user, if necessary, to detach the spray arm from the machine-side abutment and remove it from the dishwasher. It can then be done outside the dishwasher, a cleaning of the spray arm, for example, in a sink under running water. After cleaning, the spray arm can be re-introduced into the dishwasher by being arranged as intended on the machine-side abutment.
Als Mittel zur lösbaren Anordnung des Sprüharms an einem maschinenseitigen Widerlager kommt bevorzugterweise eine Überwurfmutter zum Einsatz. Diese ist vorzugsweise unverlierbar am Sprüharm angeordnet und verfügt über eine Verbindungskontur, die korrespondierend zu einer Gegenkontur des Widerlagers ausgebildet ist. Bevorzugterweise kommt als Verbindungskontur ein Bajonettverschluss zum Einsatz, denn erlaubt dieser eine verwenderseitig besonders einfache Handhabung zur Montage beziehungsweise Demontage des Sprüharms.As a means for releasable arrangement of the spray arm on a machine-side abutment preferably a union nut is used. This is preferably arranged captive on the spray arm and has a connection contour which is formed corresponding to a mating contour of the abutment. Preferably, a bayonet fitting is used as the connection contour, because this allows a user-side particularly simple handling for mounting or dismounting of the spray arm.
Mit der Erfindung wird desweiteren vorgeschlagen ein Siebsystem für eine Geschirrspülmaschine, insbesondere für eine Geschirrspülmaschine der vorbeschriebenen Art, mit einer im endmontierten Zustand von einem Sammeltopf der Geschirrspülmaschine zumindest teilweise aufgenommenen Siebeinrichtung und einem im endmontierten Zustand lösbar an einem maschinenseitigen Widerlager verdrehbar angeordneten Sprüharm einer Sprüheinrichtung, wobei die Siebeinrichtung um eine Mittelachse ausgebildet ist, wobei die Mittelachse der Siebeinrichtung und die Drehachse des Sprüharms zusammenfallen.The invention further proposes a screening system for a dishwasher, in particular for a dishwasher of the type described above, with a sieve device at least partially accommodated in the final assembled state by a collecting pot of the dishwasher, and a spray arm of a spraying device rotatably arranged in the final assembled state and detachably mounted on a machine-side abutment. wherein the screening device is formed about a central axis, wherein the center axis of the screening device and the axis of rotation of the spray arm coincide.
Das mit der Erfindung vorgeschlagene Siebsystem verfügt über eine Siebeinrichtung einerseits und einem Sprüharm andererseits. Der Sprüharm ist verdrehbar angeordnet, und zwar um eine Drehachse. Die Siebeinrichtung ihrerseits weist eine Mittelachse auf, wobei erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen ist, dass Mittelachse und Drehachse zusammenfallen. Im bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendungsfall verdreht der Sprüharm mithin um die Mittelachse der Siebeinrichtung.The screening system proposed by the invention has a screening device on the one hand and a spray arm on the other hand. The spray arm is rotatably arranged, namely about an axis of rotation. The sieve device in turn has a central axis, wherein according to the invention it is provided that the central axis and the axis of rotation coincide. When used as intended, the spray arm therefore rotates about the center axis of the screening device.
Die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung erbringt eine symmetrische Anordnung, und zwar eine rotationssymmetrische Anordnung von Siebeinrichtung und Sprüharm. Der Sprüharm ist in schon vorbeschriebener Weise lösbar an einem Widerlager der Geschirrspülmaschine angeordnet, so dass es nach einem Lösen des Sprüharms aufgrund der rotationssymmetrischen Ausgestaltung verwenderseitig besonders einfach ist, den Sprüharm nebst Siebeinrichtung dem Spülraum der Geschirrspülmaschine entnehmen zu können.The embodiment of the invention provides a symmetrical arrangement, namely a rotationally symmetrical arrangement of screening and spray arm. The spray arm is arranged detachably in an already described manner on an abutment of the dishwasher, so that it is particularly simple after removing the spray arm due to the rotationally symmetrical configuration on the user side to be able to remove the spray arm and sieve device to the washing compartment of the dishwasher.
Dabei weist die Siebeinrichtung konzentrisch angeordnete Siebe auf, was die Bedienung der Siebeinrichtung insbesondere im Entnahmefall ebenfalls vereinfacht.In this case, the screening device has concentrically arranged screens, which also simplifies the operation of the screening device, in particular in the case of removal.
Die Siebe der Siebeinrichtung sind zudem gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung im Querschnitt jeweils kreisförmig ausgebildet. Auch dies dient der vereinfachten Handhabung.The sieves of the screening device are also formed according to a further feature of the invention in cross section in each case circular. This also serves the simplified handling.
Insgesamt gestattet es die vorbeschriebene Konstruktion, den Sprüharm und die Siebeinrichtung mittels nur eines Betätigungs- bzw. Verriegelungselements, insbesondere der Überwurfmutter, lagefixieren zu können beziehungsweise eine Lagefixierung zwecks Entnahme auflösen zu können. Dies erbringt im Unterschied zum Stand der Technik eine deutlich verbesserte und in der Durchführung vereinfachte Handhabung.Overall, it allows the above-described construction, the spray arm and the screening device by means of only one actuating or locking element, in particular the union nut to be able to fix the position or dissolve a positional fixation for the purpose of removal. This provides, in contrast to the prior art, a significantly improved and simplified in the implementation handling.

Die Geschirrspülmaschine 1 verfügt in an sich bekannter Weise über ein Gehäuse 2, das einen Spülbehälter 3 aufnimmt. Der Spülbehälter 3 stellt seinerseits einen Spülraum 4 zur Aufnahme von zu reinigendem Spülgut bereit. Zur Beschickung des Spülraums 4 mit zu reinigendem Spülgut verfügt der Spülbehälter 3 über eine Beschickungsöffnung 9. Diese Beschickungsöffnung 9 ist mittels einer Spülraumtür 10 fluiddicht verschließbar, wobei die Spülraumtür 10 um eine horizontal verlaufende Schwenkachse drehverschwenkbar gelagert ist.The
Im bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendungsfall erfolgt eine Beaufschlagung des zu reinigenden Spülguts mit Spülflotte, zu welchem Zweck die Geschirrspülmaschine 1 über eine Sprüheinrichtung 6 verfügt. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel gehören zur Sprüheinrichtung 6 ein oberer Sprüharm 7 sowie ein unterer Sprüharm 8.When used as intended, the dishes to be cleaned are treated with rinsing liquor, for which purpose the
Die Sprüheinrichtung 6 ist strömungstechnisch an eine in den Figuren nicht dargestellte Umwälzpumpe der Geschirrspülmaschine 1 angeschlossen, mittels der die Sprüharme 7 und 8 der Sprüheinrichtung 6 mit Spülflotte versorgt werden.The
Der den Spülraum 4 bereitstellende Spülbehälter 3 mündet mit Bezug auf die Zeichnungsebene nach
Die Siebeinrichtung 12 ist, wie insbesondere eine Zusammenschau der
Für einen strömungstechnischen Anschluss des unteren Sprüharms 8 an den von der Umwälzpumpe mit Spülflotte versorgten Umwälzkreislauf dient ein ortsfestes Standrohr 17, an welches der Sprüharm 8 im endmontierten Zustand endseitig angeschlossen ist, wie sich dies insbesondere aus der Darstellung nach
Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass das im endmontierten Zustand strömungstechnisch an den unteren Sprüharm 8 angeschlossene Standrohr 17 die Siebeinrichtung 12 mittig durchgreift. Die Mittelachse des Standrohrs 17 und die Mittelachse 24 der Siebeinrichtung 12 fallen mithin zusammen. Im Ergebnis fallen damit auch die Drehachse, um die herum im bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendungsfall der untere Sprüharm 8 dreht und die Mittelachse 24 der Siebeinrichtung 12 zusammen. Der untere Sprüharm 8 verdreht mithin um die Mittelachse 24 der Siebeinrichtung 12. Erfindungsgemäß ist desweiteren vorgesehen, dass der Sprüharm endseitig des Standrohres 17 lösbar an diesem angeordnet ist. Dies gestattet es, den Sprüharm 8 im Bedarfsfall vom Standrohr 17 trennen und der Geschirrspülmaschine 1 entnehmen zu können. Sobald der Sprüharm 8 vom Standrohr 17 gelöst ist, kann die Siebeinrichtung 12 dem Sammeltopf 5 in einfacher Weise dadurch entnommen werden, dass die Siebeinrichtung 12 in Höhenrichtung ihrer Mittelachse 24 nach oben aus dem Sammeltopf 5 herausgehoben wird, wie dies die Darstellung nach
Zur lösbaren Anordnung des Sprüharms 8 am Standrohr 17 dient eine Überwurfmutter 13. Im endmontierten Zustand ist die Überwurfmutter 13 relativ gegenüber dem Standrohr 17 lagefixiert.
