Description

The invention relates to an ejection device for a pull-out part which is arranged such that it can be moved out of a body and / or into the body by means of running rails. The invention also relates to a dishwasher with such an ejector device.

Dishwashers as such are well known per se from the prior art, which is why separate printed evidence is not required at this point.

Known dishwashers have a body in the form of a washing container which provides a washing area. This is accessible on the user side via a loading opening which can be closed in a fluid-tight manner by means of a pivotably mounted wash cabinet door. In the intended use, the body, that is to say the washing container, is used to hold items to be cleaned, which can be, for example, dishes, cutlery and / or the like.

To load or unload a dishwasher with items to be washed, pull-out parts in the form of so-called items to be washed are used, which can be moved through the loading opening, either into or out of the washing area, depending on the direction of movement. A dishwasher typically has two or three such pull-out parts, depending on the design. As a rule, these pull-out parts serving as washware carriers are designed as washing baskets, typically a lower basket, an upper basket arranged above it in the height direction of the dishwasher and optionally a cutlery drawer arranged above the upper basket in the height direction.

In order to properly equip a wash rack with items to be washed, the user has to move the wash basket at least partially out of the wash cabinet through the loading opening. In this extended position, the user can access the wash basket, which allows it to be filled with items to be washed. Subsequent to this type of equipment, the wash basket must be moved back into the wash cabinet by the user until it is completely taken up by the wash cabinet again, so that the loading opening is opened by means of the wash cabinet door can be closed fluid-tight.

As practice has shown, washing racks are only accessible to a limited extent for the user to move out of the washing area. This can be the case in particular if, due to the design, the washing baskets are arranged close to one another in the vertical direction and / or have a handle or recessed grip that is difficult to access. In these cases, it is more difficult for the user to operate it, in particular with a view to moving out a wash rack that has been completely accommodated in the wash cabinet.

In order to remedy this situation, a push-off device has become known from the prior art, which provides a so-called "push-to-open mechanism". This ejector device enables a user to have a wash basket ejected from the wash cabinet to such an extent that it is easier for the user to access the wash basket for the purpose of moving it out of the wash cabinet. In this case, the washing basket is ejected by means of the ejector device in that an energy store provided by the ejector device is activated on the user side. As a result of this activation, the energy storage device is discharged, with the result that the wash basket is ejected from the wash cabinet by such a distance that simplified access to the wash basket is made possible for the user. The further movement of the washing rack out of the washing area can thus be initiated in a simpler manner by the user.

An ejection device in this sense is, for example, from DE 10 2009 026 136 B4 known.

This from the DE 10 2009 026 136 B4 The previously known ejector device has a housing to be mounted on the wash basket side. A displaceable switch plunger, two clamping bodies interacting therewith and an energy store are arranged within the housing. The clamping bodies can be brought into a first position releasing the switch plunger and into a second position that at least inhibits the switch plunger depending on the direction.

This known ejection device is to be mounted on the extractable part, which in the case of a dishwasher means that it is arranged on the respective washing basket and so that in normal operation the dishwasher is exposed to the washing area atmosphere. And so, in the intended use, process chemicals, water, food residues and comparatively high temperatures act on the ejector device, which has a disadvantageous negative effect on the functionality. And so the previously known ejector device has a comparatively short service life, in particular a service life which is shorter than that of a dishwasher. A functional failure is therefore to be expected over the service life of a dishwasher, which entails corresponding effort and costs for repairs that become necessary in this respect. It is desirable to avoid this.

It is therefore the object of the invention to provide an ejection device which, due to its design, provides increased functional reliability.

To solve this problem, the invention proposes an ejection device for a pull-out part which is arranged to be movable by means of running rails out of a body and / or into the body, with a switching means which is arranged movably within the body and interacts with the pull-out part, a switching means coupled to the switching means and coupling element movably arranged outside the body, an energy store and a guide unit, by means of which the coupling element can be positioned securely in a first use position and in a second use position distinguishable therefrom.

As a departure from the previously known ejector device, a "push-to-open mechanism" is proposed with the ejector device according to the invention, which is at least partially arranged outside the body. In the case of a dishwasher, in particular, this has the advantage that the ejector device is not exposed to the washing chamber atmosphere. As a result, the service life of the ejection device is significantly increased, and this with a simultaneous increase in functional reliability.

The ejection device according to the invention has a switching means. This switching means interacts with the pull-out part and is arranged within the body.

Spatially separated from the switching means, the ejection device also has a coupling element. This coupling element is arranged outside the body, so it is not exposed to the atmosphere prevailing in the body. It is coupled to the switching means in a force-transmitting manner, with which it moves in correspondence with the switching means in the event of movement or with which the switching means moves with the coupling element in correspondence with it.

The ejector also has an energy store and a guide unit. The coupling element can be positioned securely by means of the guide unit, specifically in a first use position and a second use position which can be distinguished therefrom. The guide unit therefore makes it possible to position the coupling element and thus also the switching means coupled therewith in a secure position in a first use position and in a second use position which can be distinguished therefrom.

The ejection device according to the invention is characterized overall by a structurally given functional subdivision. The actual "push-to-open mechanism", which is given by the coupling element, the energy storage device and the guide unit, is arranged outside the body. Only the switching means that interacts with the pull-out part is arranged within the body. This means that only the switching means and not the actual "push-to-open mechanism" is exposed to the atmosphere prevailing in the interior of the body. In particular in the case of a body serving as a washing container of a dishwasher, this configuration is advantageous because the actual "push-to-open mechanism" is protected from unwanted influences from water, leftover food, temperature and / or process chemicals.

According to a further feature of the invention it is provided that the switching means is a pivot lever which is pivotably arranged within the body. The design of the switching means as a pivotable lever is particularly advantageous for reasons of a minimized design. In this case, the switching means interacts directly with the pull-out part, so that in departure from the previously known prior art according to the DE 10 2009 026 136 B4 no push abutment in the form of a body back wall is required. Any manufacturing-related tolerances are thus compensated in an advantageous manner and cannot adversely affect the functional reliability of the push-off device according to the invention.

According to a further feature of the invention it is provided that the coupling element is an adjusting lever pivotably arranged outside the body. The coupling element is also designed as a pivotable lever, so that space-saving accommodation outside the body is possible, preferably on the top of an upper or ceiling part that closes off the body at the top in the vertical direction.

In turning away from DE 10 2009 026 136 B4 the ejection device according to the invention does not include a linearly displaceable plunger. Rather, structural components designed to be pivotable are provided, namely a pivot lever arranged inside the body on the one hand and an adjusting lever arranged outside the body on the other hand. Both levers can be pivoted, whereby they are positively coupled to one another, so that a pivoting movement of the actuating lever is transmitted to the pivot lever and vice versa.

According to a further feature of the invention, it is proposed in this context that the pivot lever and the adjusting lever are each arranged in a rotationally secure manner at the end of a common shaft providing a rotation axis.

A shaft therefore serves as the force transmission element between the pivot lever and the adjusting lever. At the same time, this shaft also defines the axis of rotation around which the pivot lever and control lever can be rotated. The pivot lever is arranged on one end of the shaft and the actuating lever on the other end of the shaft, in each case non-rotatable, so that with the interposition of the shaft, a direct power transmission can take place from the actuating lever to the pivot lever or in the opposite direction.

According to a further feature of the invention, it is provided that the energy store is arranged outside the body and acts on an end section of the actuating lever opposite the shaft providing the axis of rotation.

The energy store interacts with the control lever. The adjusting lever is arranged on one end of the shaft. At the other end, the energy storage mechanism acts on the setting lever. According to this construction, it is achieved that the adjusting lever, depending on the rotational movement about the axis of rotation provided by the shaft, either rotates against the force provided by the energy storage device or rotates driven by the energy storage device in the direction of the force provided by the energy storage device. In this respect, the energy storage acts in one direction of rotation of the actuating lever as a damping element and in the other direction of rotation as the drive element.

According to a further feature of the invention it is provided that the energy store is a tension spring which is arranged on one end on the adjusting lever and on the other end on an abutment.

The design of the energy store as a tension spring is particularly simple mechanically and therefore robust. In addition, in a simple selection of the tension spring on the basis of its spring characteristic, the ejection movement caused by the ejection device in the intended use can be predetermined in a simple manner in accordance with the respective application.

According to a further feature of the invention it is provided that the guide unit has a locking element guided in a guide track, which interacts with the actuating lever and releasably locks it in at least one, in particular the first, use position.

The guide unit provides a guide track on the one hand and a latching element on the other. The locking element interacts with the adjusting lever, so that it is guided with the interposition of the locking element on the basis of the guide track of the guide unit. The guideway provides two positions in which a secure positioning of the control lever can be achieved. In particular, the latching element can be latched in at least one position. This makes it possible to lock the adjusting lever at least in the first position of use, with which a positionally secure positioning is achieved. In the first use position, for example, the energy store is charged, whereas it is emptied in the second use position.

According to a further feature of the invention it is provided that the latching element is a wire bracket which is arranged on the adjusting lever so that it can be rotated at one end and engages in a groove-shaped guide track at the other end.

The design of the latching element as a wire bracket proves to be particularly simple mechanically and robust to use. In addition, assembly or disassembly is possible in a simple manner. The wire bracket can be pivoted on the adjusting lever arranged, at one end. At the other end, the wire bracket engages in the guide track of the guide unit, whereby, with the interposition of the wire bracket, the control lever coupled therewith is guided in such a way that the possible rotational movement of the control lever can be securely positioned with respect to two positions of use.

To transfer the control lever into another position, the secured position of use must first be released, be it the first or the second position of use.

According to a further feature of the invention it is provided that the guide track is designed as a heart curve. In this way, reliable guidance of the wire bow on the one hand and secure fixing of the adjusting lever in the first and second positions of use are achieved.

The invention also proposes a dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher, with a body providing a washing area, which has a loading opening for loading items to be washed, and with one that is arranged to be movable on running rails through the loading opening out of the washing area and / or into the washing area Pull-out part, characterized by an ejector device according to the invention.

A dishwasher designed in such a way provides the advantages already explained above with reference to the ejection device according to the invention.

According to a further feature of the invention it is provided that the pivot lever is arranged on the inside of a washing chamber cover delimiting the washing chamber on the upper side in the vertical direction. The ejector therefore interacts with a washing basket of the dishwasher which is arranged at the top in the vertical direction and which can be, for example, a cutlery drawer.

According to a further feature of the invention, the setting lever is arranged on the outside of the wash cabinet ceiling, the shaft connecting the pivot lever and the setting lever to one another in a force-transmitting manner being guided in a liquid-tight manner through a bore in the wash cabinet ceiling. There is thus a liquid-tight design, which ensures that only the pivot lever, but not the actual "push-to-open mechanism" comes into contact with any rinsing liquid circulated in the body.

According to a further feature of the invention it is provided that the pivot lever is positioned away from the loading opening in the depth direction of the washing chamber. The pivot lever therefore interacts with the associated washing rack on the rear wall side. It is arranged, so to speak, invisible to a user within the washing compartment.

According to a further feature of the invention it is provided that the pivot lever is positioned in a central area in the width direction of the washing space. This configuration is of particular advantage in that the configuration of only one pivot lever is sufficient for the intended actuation of a washing rack. This is because the pivot lever engages approximately in the middle of the wash basket so that tilting of the wash basket is not to be feared when it is ejected as intended.

The dishwasher according to the invention has an ejector which is in mechanical operative connection with a washing basket of the dishwasher, preferably with a cutlery drawer which is designed as a washing basket arranged at the top in the vertical direction. The actual "push-to-open mechanism" is arranged outside the washing area and connected to a lever arranged inside the washing area via a shaft guided through an opening in the washing area ceiling. This lever in turn acts on the cutlery drawer.

The "push-to-open mechanism" has a guide track, preferably in the form of a heart curve, for a guide wire and a spring serving as an energy store. The guide wire can assume two fixed positions. In the first position, the spring is pretensioned and the lever located on the inside of the washing area is in a basic position when the cutlery drawer is retracted. The guide wire is released from the secured first position by lightly pressing the cutlery drawer on the user side, and a "push-to-open mechanism" can then be moved into the second position as a result of the pretensioned spring. The lever provided on the inside pushes the cutlery drawer out of the washing area by approx. 10 cm so that it is then comfortably accessible and accessible for a user. When the cutlery drawer is then moved back in, the wash cabinet rotates levers provided on the inside, which in turn leads to a pretensioning of the spring of the "push-to-open mechanism". The guide wire is moved back from the second position to the first position.

Since the "push-to-open mechanism" is actually located outside the wash cabinet, it is protected from detergent solution and cannot get dirty. In addition, no installation space is lost within the wash cabinet. Furthermore, it is not necessary for a proper functional connection between the cutlery drawer and the "push-to-open mechanism" to revise or modify the design of the cutlery drawer. It can be adopted unchanged for the "Push-To-Open" application, which advantageously also enables retrofitting.

a purely schematic representation of a dishwasher.

Figure 11 shows a dishwasher 1 according to the prior art in a purely schematic representation.

The dishwasher 1 has a housing 2 which, among other things, accommodates a body in the form of a washing container 3. The washing compartment 3 in turn provides a washing area 4 which, when used as intended, serves to hold items to be cleaned.

A spray device 5, which is arranged inside the washing compartment 3, is used to load items to be cleaned with washing liquid, the so-called washing liquor. Such a spray device 5 has spray arms 6 which are each rotatably arranged within the washing compartment 3.

The washing compartment 3 opens with its washing space 4 into a collecting pot 7, to which a circulating pump 8 is fluidically connected with a line 9 being interposed. The spray device 5 is fluidically connected to the circulating pump 8 via corresponding supply lines not shown in detail in the figure. When used as intended, so that the spray device 5 can be charged with washing liquor by means of the circulating pump 8.

The washing compartment 4 provided by the washing compartment 3 is accessible to the user via a loading opening 10 which can be closed in a fluid-tight manner by means of a pivotably mounted washing compartment door 11.

For loading or unloading the dishwasher 1 with items to be washed, the dishwasher in the embodiment shown has three pull-out parts in the form of wash baskets that can be moved through the loading opening 10, either into or out of the wash space 4, depending on the direction of movement .

The wash basket arranged at the bottom in the height direction 15 of the dishwasher 1 is a so-called lower basket 14 and the wash basket arranged above it in the height direction 15 is a so-called upper basket 13. Above the upper basket 13, the so-called cutlery drawer 12 is arranged.

In the embodiment shown, the cutlery drawer 12 guided by means of running rails 17 interacts with an ejection device 16 according to the invention, as can be seen from FIG Figures 1 to 10 results in detail.

Like, in particular, a synopsis of the Figures 1 , 2 and 3rd As can be seen, the dishwasher 1 is equipped with an ejector device 16 which has a pivot lever 20 which is rotatably arranged on the inside of the washing compartment 3. The pivot lever 20 has an angled extension 30 which, when used as intended, interacts with the cutlery drawer 12, as exemplified by the Figures 4 and 5 reveal.

The ejection device 16 also has a rotatably arranged adjusting lever 21. This is arranged on the outside of the washing container 3, as is the case in particular Figure 2 reveals.

The inside pivot lever 20 and the outside adjusting lever 21 are coupled to one another in a force-transmitting manner via a common shaft 22. A twisting movement of the adjusting lever 21 therefore leads to a corresponding rotational movement of the pivot lever 20 and vice versa.

Like a synopsis of the Figures 2 and 3rd Furthermore, it can be seen that the shaft 22 coupling the adjusting lever 21 to the pivot lever 20 is guided through an opening in the ceiling 19 delimiting the washing chamber 4 on the upper side in the height direction 15. In this case, the shaft 22 is mounted in a liquid-tight manner, so that an unintentional leakage of washing liquid out of the washing chamber 4 is avoided.

The adjusting lever 21 has an end section 23 opposite the shaft 22. A spring 24 is arranged on one end of this end section 23. On the other end, the spring 24 is fixed to an abutment 25.

When the adjusting lever 21 is rotated with respect to the plane of the drawing Figure 2 to the right, that is to say clockwise, the spring 24 serving as an energy store is tensioned. When the adjusting lever 21 is rotated counterclockwise, the spring 24 is relaxed.

The ejection device 16 also has a guide unit 26. This has a guide body 27, which in turn provides a guide track 28. This guide track 28 is designed as a heart curve, as in FIG Figure 10 shown.

As can be seen from the figure Figure 10 results, the heart-shaped guide track 28 has a first section 31 and a second section 32 as well as a first outlet 33 and a second outlet 34. In addition, in the transition area between the first section 31 and second section 32 there is a recess 35 opposite the outlet 33 intended.

As can be seen in particular from the representation Figure 2 results, the ejector 16 also has a wire bracket 29. This wire bracket 29 is arranged on the adjusting lever 21 so that it can be rotated at one end, specifically in the area of the end section 23.

The ejector 16 advantageously allows a user to When the cutlery drawer 12 is extended, it must first move in the direction of the rear wall 18 of the washing compartment 3 by pressing it lightly. The so-called "push-to-open mechanism" of the ejector device 16 is activated with the result that the pivot lever 22 rotates driven by the spring 24 and thereby ejects the cutlery tray 12 through the loading opening 10. This movement of the cutlery drawer caused by replacement is, for example, 10 cm. After the cutlery drawer 12 has been ejected, it can be easily grasped by the user and moved completely manually out of the washing space 4.

When the cutlery drawer 12 is transferred back into the washing area 4, it runs up against the pivoting lever 20 in the course of moving into the washing area 4. If the user moves the cutlery drawer 12 further, this leads to a twisting movement of the pivot lever 20, specifically in a clockwise direction. As a result, the spring 24 is tensioned again, so that the ejector 16 is ready for use again after the cutlery drawer 12 has been fully retracted.

The above-described mode of operation of the ejection device 16 according to the invention results from FIG Figures 4 to 9 in detail as follows, where the Figures 4 to 9 each different movement positions of the cutlery drawer 12 relate to.

In the initial situation according to Figure 4 the cutlery drawer 12 is in its completely retracted position into the washing area 4. In this position, the wire bracket 29 of the guide unit 26 is caught in the recess 35 provided by the guide track 28. In this position, the guide unit 26 is secured in position in a first use position. This is because, despite the spring force acting on the adjusting lever 21, pivoting of the adjusting lever 21 is prevented because the wire bracket 29 coupled to the adjusting lever 21 is held on the other end in the recess 35 of the guide track 28.

Is now according to Figure 5 If the user moves the cutlery drawer 12 slightly in the direction of the rear wall 18 of the washing area 4 by pressing, the wire bracket 29 is released from the recess 35 of the guide track 28 and, in accordance with the geometric design of the recess 35, reaches the first section 31 of the guide track 28.

As soon as the cutlery drawer 12 is released by the user after a previous push, the adjusting lever 21 can rotate under a spring force, specifically with reference to the plane of the drawing Figure 6 to the right, i.e. counterclockwise. This twisting movement of the adjusting lever 21 is possible because the wire bow 29 can slide with its end section opposite the adjusting lever 21 along the first section 31 of the guide track 28, namely as far as the outlet 34, as in FIG Figure 7 shown.

In the in Figure 7 In the position shown, the cutlery drawer 12 is ejected and moved out of the loading opening 10 by approximately 10 cm. The second position-secured position of use has been reached.

If now, as in Figure 8 shown, the cutlery drawer 12 is moved back into the washing area 4 by the user, the extension 30 of the pivot lever 20 comes into contact with the cutlery drawer 12, causing it to rotate clockwise. The adjusting lever 21, which is force-coupled to the pivot lever 20, also pivots clockwise, whereby the spring 24 is tensioned. This rotating movement of the adjusting lever 21 is possible because the wire bracket 29 moves the second section 32 of the guide track 28 out of the outlet 34. The wire bracket 29 can move until it comes to rest at the end of the outlet 33, as in FIG Figure 9 shown. In this position, the pivot lever 22 and the adjusting lever 21 are rotated to the maximum.

As soon as the cutlery drawer 12 is released again by the user, the adjusting lever 21 rotates back a little under spring force until the wire bracket 29 has moved out of the outlet 33 back into the secured first position, which according to it comes to lie in the recess 35, as above with reference to Figure 4 explained. <b> Reference signs </b> 1 dishwasher 32 second part 2 casing 33 Outlet 3rd Body (rinsing container) 34 Outlet 4th Wash cabinet 35 Return 5 Spraying device 6th Spray arm 7th Collecting pot 8th Circulation pump 9 management 10 Loading opening 11 Wash cabinet door 12th Cutlery drawer 13th Upper basket 14th Lower basket 15th Height direction 16 Ejector 17th Running track 18th Back wall 19th blanket 20th Swivel lever 21 Control lever 22nd wave 23 End section 24 feather 25th Abutment 26th Guide unit 27 Guide body 28 Guideway 29 Wire hanger 30th Appendix 31 first section
