Definitions

  • the invention relates to a water-carrying domestic appliance with a washing chamber and with a nozzle body with a nozzle opening for dispensing fluid or water, ie advantageously with a nozzle. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for operating such a water-bearing domestic appliance, in particular a dishwasher.
  • Dishwashers as water-bearing domestic appliances, usually have one or more rinsing arms or nozzle arms, which rotate about a vertical axis at different levels in the rinsing chamber, see FIG WO 2004/058038 A1 .
  • Water that is introduced under pressure exits through several nozzle openings on the arms and is sprayed into the washing chamber through the arms in varying ways. Because of the recoil at the jets, the arms are set in rotation.
  • the JP 2003304980A is a water-bearing household appliance known with a nozzle device in a side wall, for example as a dishwasher.
  • the nozzle device has a nozzle body which is movably arranged in a nozzle holder and is connected to a deformable nozzle disk with nozzle openings.
  • the nozzle body moves as a result of the inflowing water and thus changes the shape and/or alignment of the nozzle disk with the nozzle openings, so that the exiting water is sprayed in randomly varying directions.
  • a dishwasher for integration into a sink in which water can be injected upwards into the sink from below from an outlet by means of a nozzle device. This allows variable cleaning of dishes or objects.
  • a yet another dishwashing machine having nozzle openings along elongate rods or brackets which are rotatable about their longitudinal axis. These nozzle openings thus allow water to be sprayed into the dishwasher in a variable manner.
  • the invention is based on the object of creating a water-bearing household appliance as mentioned at the outset and a method mentioned at the outset with which problems of the prior art can be solved and in particular it is possible to construct a water-bearing household appliance in a practical manner and achieve a good and satisfactory result when cleaning objects such as laundry or dishes.
  • the water-bearing domestic appliance has a rinsing chamber or treatment chamber that has a floor and side walls.
  • the rinsing chamber also has a Uncover or cover. It is accessible from the outside for handling dishes, either from the front or preferably from above.
  • the water-bearing household appliance has a receptacle for dishes or objects that are to be cleaned in the washing chamber.
  • a holder or crockery holder can be designed in many different ways, for example in the form of conventional grids, baskets or containers of different heights.
  • the water-bearing household appliance has a device for pumping water in order to pump water out of the washing chamber and pump it back into the washing chamber in order to clean the dishes arranged therein or objects arranged therein.
  • this is a pump.
  • Water can also be understood here as fluid in general, or the term “water” is intended here to include fluids in general, ie also air, gas and steam. Their introduction by means of a nozzle and their promotion by means of a pump are basically similar.
  • the water can partially circulate, partially fresh water can be supplied and partially used or dirty water can be pumped out of the water-bearing household appliance.
  • the water-bearing domestic appliance has at least one nozzle body with at least one nozzle opening in order to spray water into the washing chamber in order to be able to clean dishes or objects placed therewith.
  • this is sometimes also referred to as a nozzle, the expression “nozzle” essentially referring to the nozzle opening together with its function.
  • a plurality of nozzle bodies are advantageously provided, particularly advantageously at least a few identical nozzle bodies. They can each have exactly one nozzle opening, alternatively also two to five nozzle openings.
  • air or an air flow can also be conveyed through the at least one nozzle, for example for drying laundry or for drying dishes.
  • the at least one nozzle body is arranged on the bottom and/or on a side wall of the washing chamber, advantageously not protruding from or overhanging it by a few cm, but at least partially embedded in its surface.
  • the nozzle body protrudes over the surface of the bottom or the side wall by only less than half or less than a third of its smallest diameter.
  • This nozzle body is movable in order to be able to change the direction of a water jet discharged or sprayed out from the nozzle opening.
  • water should not always be sprayed out of a nozzle opening in the same direction.
  • the nozzle body is movably arranged in a nozzle receptacle on the floor or on the side wall of the washing chamber, the major part of the nozzle receptacle advantageously not protruding beyond the surface of the base or side wall, in particular more than 90% or completely.
  • the nozzle body and its nozzle opening are of supplied with water at the rear, which means that a water supply also runs under or behind the floor or side wall.
  • a nozzle seat is formed to have a nozzle seat opening. This is open into the rinsing chamber or points towards the rinsing chamber, just through the nozzle receiving opening.
  • the nozzle receptacle has a bearing surface on which the nozzle body is mounted or its mobility is guided.
  • the bearing surface can be curved in accordance with the nozzle body, alternatively it can also be annular or strip-shaped and be relatively narrow. It can be provided with a sealing function, which will be explained in more detail below.
  • the nozzle body is preferably also spatially curved, in particular at least partially spherical or in a section with a spherical shape, in particular towards the washing chamber.
  • the bearing or the nozzle holder is closed except for the said nozzle holder opening into the washing chamber and the through opening at the rear of the nozzle holder, i.e. no movable or protruding parts are provided.
  • water is introduced into the nozzle holder from behind, so to speak, and not necessarily directly into the nozzle body, whereby it then enters the nozzle body from behind inside the nozzle holder and exits again at the front through the nozzle opening into the washing chamber or is sprayed out as water jet.
  • a movement of the nozzle body to change the direction of the water jet sprayed out takes place without contact or a force acts on the nozzle body without contact in order to move it and thus change the spraying direction of the nozzle.
  • a water-bearing household appliance or a dishwasher or washing machine with at least one, advantageously several, nozzle openings that can each eject a jet of water in a direction that can be set and varied in a targeted manner.
  • An angular range can be between 30° and 120°, preferred in all directions.
  • the force acting on the nozzle body is a magnetic force.
  • the nozzle body can have permanent magnets or ferritic parts that are advantageously arranged on or in it. You can be used in it, for example, be injected.
  • Permanent magnets are preferred, in particular made of a strongly magnetic material such as, for example, cobalt-samarium, since these enable a stronger force to be exerted on the nozzle body in order to move it.
  • Magnets are provided near the bearing surface or the nozzle receptacle and outside of it, advantageously in the area separated from the water, in order to generate a variable magnetic field which causes a corresponding movement of the nozzle body.
  • Either these permanent magnets can be moved themselves, for example by suitable actuators, in order to move the nozzle body accordingly.
  • they are switchable or controllable magnets, in particular switchable electromagnets, which do not require any mechanical moving parts.
  • the magnetic field can be correspondingly varied and thus moved by switching several distributed magnets or electromagnets on and off differently, with the result that it moves the nozzle body.
  • Such distributed and switchable electromagnets are considered to be particularly preferred. They can be distributed around the nozzle holder, for example three or more.
  • At least one electromagnet should be arranged in an area pointing approximately in the opposite direction from the nozzle opening, with a ferritic part or a permanent magnet also being provided in this area of the nozzle body in order to be able to pivot the nozzle body better and more diversely.
  • the nozzle body is preferably of spherical design, ie arched or rounded. It can be at least partially rotationally symmetrical with an axis of rotation along which the nozzle opening runs or along which the nozzle opening points. A diameter can range between 0.5 cm and 5 cm.
  • the nozzle body can advantageously be made at least largely from plastic. It is possible and advantageous to form it at least partially as a sphere, in particular in the area inside the nozzle receptacle or particularly advantageously in this area towards the washing chamber.
  • Bearing means are advantageously provided in the nozzle holder for the nozzle body, with which friction of the nozzle body in the nozzle holder or relative to the bearing surface is intended to be reduced. Finally, the nozzle body is pressed against it with force, since it is pressed against by the water entering the nozzle holder at the back. Said bearing means should be distributed at at least three points between the nozzle body and the bearing surface. They are advantageously closed in a linear or even ring-shaped manner for consistently good support.
  • the bearing means are designed without moving parts, which reduces complexity and susceptibility to errors.
  • the bearing means can be in the form of slide bearings made from friction-reducing material, advantageously plastic, particularly advantageously PTFE, nylon or special materials such as Delrin® . These can be in ring form.
  • sealing means are provided between the nozzle body and the nozzle receptacle, which have a sealing effect between the nozzle body and the nozzle receptacle in the washing chamber. It can thus be prevented that water which enters the nozzle receptacle from behind, enters the washing chamber by a route other than through the nozzle opening, which would mean loss of water and, above all, a reduction in pressure.
  • the nozzle body should therefore be tight up to its nozzle opening in relation to the rinsing chamber or floor or side wall.
  • the sealing means are preferably arranged around the nozzle receiving opening or should run around it in a ring. You can follow exactly the course of the outer contour of the nozzle receiving opening, but can also be simply circular as an alternative.
  • the aforementioned sealing means have a circumferential sealing ring that runs around the receiving opening and is arranged there.
  • the sealing means should be at a certain distance from the nozzle receiving opening, for example at least 1 mm.
  • it is mainly important that the distance between the sealing means or an aforementioned sealing ring and the nozzle receiving opening is not too large, so in particular it can be a maximum of 10 mm. In this way it can be ensured that the space behind the nozzle receiving opening, into which the dirty water including the water from the washing chamber can also flow Contamination can occur, remains relatively small for hygienic reasons.
  • the named sealing means prefferably have the aforementioned bearing means or for the sealing means to form the bearing means at the same time.
  • This can be made of two materials in one part, alternatively a single material can also be provided which, due to its material properties, on the one hand causes sufficiently low friction and on the other hand achieves a sufficiently good sealing effect, in particular having a shape that is precisely adapted to the nozzle body for the sealing effect.
  • this should preferably not be at too great a distance from the through-opening.
  • This should advantageously ensure that water that enters the nozzle holder through the through-opening cannot penetrate to any great extent into the nozzle holder or can get between the nozzle holder and the nozzle body, namely it should enter the nozzle body as directly as possible. Then you don't have to pay attention to the fact that too much water can enter the washing chamber directly at the nozzle receiving opening.
  • the seal there is still important so that no water from the washing chamber can enter the nozzle holder, as explained above.
  • the first-mentioned seal into the wash chamber is very important, otherwise there could be a hygiene problem, while the other seal concerns a functionality problem for the nozzle function.
  • the water-carrying household appliance has a detection device in order to identify dishes to be cleaned or objects to be cleaned in the washing chamber and advantageously also to localize them.
  • the detection device should be able to identify the areas of the washing chamber that need to be cleaned, ie where the nozzle should boost a water jet or primarily spray it.
  • This is basically known from DE 102016202267 A1 for a dishwasher. It is precisely this that makes an advantageous use of the controllable nozzle or the controllable water jet from this nozzle particularly advantageous or can be used particularly well. In this way, a significantly more efficient operation or a significantly more efficient cleaning of dishes or other objects is possible, since it is not even necessary to spray in areas without dishes.
  • this detection device or another, differently designed device can be used to determine whether crockery or other objects located in the washing chamber are still dirty or have already been sufficiently cleaned. This can be done, for example, either purely optically, for example by measuring a degree of reflection of surfaces that are to be cleaned.
  • markers according to the DE 102016202267 A1 are used, which attach themselves to all or only certain types of dirt and then make them visually easy and clearly recognizable. A jet of water can thus be sprayed from the at least one nozzle in an even more targeted manner to where particularly intensive cleaning is required.
  • the aforementioned devices for detection or recognition advantageously have an optical functional principle, and they particularly advantageously have a camera or a CCD chip for this purpose.
  • a camera or a CCD chip for this purpose.
  • the location of crockery or objects to be cleaned or soiling on them can be easily recognized and determined with an accuracy of a few centimeters, preferably less than 3 cm.
  • Water can then be sprayed particularly intensively into these areas with one or more nozzles, in particular depending on the determined point, best from those nozzles that can reach this point or an area encompassing this point as well as possible.
  • This information can be in a controller of the water-bearing household appliance.
  • an aforementioned detection device can also have at least one or more photo sensors, which are of considerably simpler design. With these, shadowing, in particular against light from above or against light from opposite the detection device or the device for detecting dishes, can be used to identify where something is located in the washing chamber that needs to be cleaned.
  • photo sensors together with the corresponding simple light sources do not represent a great effort, and it is preferably also possible to use the ambient light that enters when the water-bearing household appliance is open, for example when the front door or top lid is open. This also results in a well-defined and previously known irradiation of light, which can be used with appropriate photo sensors as described above.
  • the devices mentioned make it possible to first determine whether and at what point crockery to be cleaned or corresponding objects are present in the washing chamber. Then, in a subsequent cleaning process, water can be discharged predominantly, in particular exclusively, at least from movable nozzles of the water-bearing household appliance be sprayed in their direction for an advantageous and intensive cleaning process.
  • water-bearing domestic appliance it may also be possible to check whether all dirt has already been removed, as has been described above. Then further cleaning by spraying water can be concentrated on the areas where contamination is just present or those areas can be excluded where no more contamination has been detected.

  • the photo sensor 57 can be activated for a previously explained detection of dishes or objects to be cleaned in the washing chamber 16 for a short time when the lid 14 is open, since sufficient incidence of light from the ambient light is then ensured. The resulting shading can be detected by the photo sensor 57, of which several can also be provided.

  • the controller 55 can specify this direction in which they are to be blasted or sprayed on dishes according to fixed programs or according to detected objects that are to be cleaned and that may also have been recognized as dirty. Due to the fact that the nozzle body is moved, so to speak, by a force acting without contact, the nozzle body can be mounted in a simple, safe and sealed manner.
  • An advantageous combination provides a movable carrier 50 according to the Figures 7 and 8 before, in which electromagnets are arranged. Then a particularly good mobility is given.
  • the direction of the water jets 35 does not necessarily run through the center point M of the nozzle body 131 .
  • a rotation of the nozzle body 31 then causes the generated water jet to oscillate or spin for a distributed effect.
