Definitions
- the invention relates to a washware receptacle for a dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher, which has at least one washing compartment, which is arranged movably in the washing compartment and which comprises a crockery basket and a storage surface that can be coupled to the crockery basket for receiving washware,
- the items to be washed are usually arranged in a washing container of a dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher, in one or more crockery baskets, where washing liquor, i.e. washing liquid and any additives such as detergents, rinse aid and the like, are applied to them during the cleaning process.
- washing liquor i.e. washing liquid and any additives such as detergents, rinse aid and the like
- the crockery baskets of known dishwashers often consist of a wire mesh and are usually mounted displaceably on the side walls of the washing container by means of rail systems so that they can be pulled out of the washing container of the dishwasher.
- a disadvantage of these known crockery baskets is that they essentially have a rigid wire construction that allows only limited possibilities of variation when loading them with items to be washed.
- crockery baskets for dishwashers in particular household dishwashers, known which are divided into storage areas with special devices for the arrangement of certain items of crockery or cutlery.
- the storage surfaces are pivotably attached so that, if necessary, they can be brought into a horizontal position in which they can be stocked with items to be washed or can be brought into a vertical position in order to increase the storage space in the crockery basket.
- These known shelves have the disadvantage that they only offer the choice between using or folding up the shelf without expanding the possible variations in the arrangement of items to be washed in the crockery basket or on the shelf.
- cups have depressions in their respective bottom areas in which washing liquor usually accumulates during a wash cycle of a dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher.
- This washing liquid that has accumulated in each case dries in the drying phase of a dish-
- the dishwasher does not completely shut off in a known manner.
- a sloping surface is placed in the base of a dish rack of a dishwasher, which only has an effect on small, especially low cups, and which is effective when the dish rack of a dishwasher is loaded with large items to be washed, for example Bowls, tall cups and glasses and the like, which significantly restricts the available space.
- the steep elevation of the base of the crockery basket also has a negative effect on the stability.
- the document EP 2 554099 A2 discloses a crockery carrier which can be positioned in a crockery basket of a dishwasher that has a base.
- the crockery carrier can be positioned in the crockery basket in at least two operating states, so that at least a part of the bottom of the crockery basket can each assume different configurations.
- the crockery carrier has an elongated shape and comprises two sections which are connected to one another along a central connecting line. At least one of the two sections of the crockery carrier comprises a lattice structure which comprises small rods for the purpose of sufficient drainage of washing liquor.
- the other section of the crockery carrier comprises a cross piece which is arranged at right angles to the small rods of one of the two sections of the crockery carrier and which comprises coupling means for coupling the crockery carrier to the bottom of the crockery basket.
- the document DE 202004 021 026 U1 discloses a dishwasher with at least one washing container, at least one crockery basket and with at least one storage element which can be coupled to the crockery basket and comprises a storage area for storing items to be washed.
- the storage element can be locked on the crockery basket and pivoted about an axis at different angles of inclination.
- At least one support element is provided which supports the storage element at a point at a distance from the axis at different angles of inclination.
- the document EP 2245975 A1 discloses a storage element which is pivotably attached to a bottom wire of a crockery basket by means of several snap connections.
- the storage element can be pivoted between a folded-up rest position and a folded-down operating position.
- This also includes Storage element several profiled struts, which have depressions and projections for the safe reception of items to be washed, such as glasses.
- the storage element has at least one hook element on the underside which, in the folded-down operating position of the storage element, can be latched into at least one intermediate connecting wire running perpendicular to the base wire. In the course of the latching of the hook element in the intermediate connecting wire, the storage element can be displaced at least slightly horizon tal in its folded operating position.
- the term “items to be washed” is generally used for any type of items to be washed, that is to say for both crockery and cutlery.
- a piece of crockery can in turn be cookware, that is to say a vessel or a device which is used to prepare meals, or a piece of dinnerware, that is to say a vessel or a device that is used to order and consume meals.
- a piece of cutlery can be a tool that is used to ingest food. The cutlery in use today in European culture consists of a knife, fork and spoon.
- the washware receptacle for a dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher, having at least one washing compartment, according to the present invention is movably arranged in the washing compartment and comprises a crockery basket and a storage surface that can be coupled to the crockery basket for receiving washware.
- the storage surface can be locked on the crockery basket and can be pivoted about an axis at different angles of inclination and also displaced along the axis.
- At least one support element is arranged on the underside of the storage surface, which supports the storage surface at a point spaced from the axis at different angles of inclination.
- the support element arranged on the underside of the storage surface has a number of locking steps which come into engagement with the crockery basket, as a result of which the storage surface is supported at different angles of inclination.
- the change in the angle of inclination of the shelf surface that can be locked on the crockery basket takes place according to the invention by a combined movement, that is, by longitudinal displacement of the shelf surface along an axis and preferably simultaneous rotation of the shelf surface about the axis.
- the inventive washware receptacle for a dishwasher in particular a domestic dishwasher, has the advantage that the angle of inclination of the shelf surface in the crockery basket can be adjusted variably.
- the shelf can be adjusted depending on the height and width of the items to be washed.
- the angle of inclination of the shelf surface can be adjusted depending on the space required by the items to be washed, the items to be washed can be arranged in the crockery basket in a particularly space-saving manner, which enables optimal space utilization of the crockery basket.
- the support element supports the storage surface at a point distant from its pivot axis, a complex mechanism for absorbing relatively large torques on the pivot axis for locking the storage surface becomes superfluous.
- the manufacturing costs of the items to be washed in the dishwasher, in particular the domestic dishwasher are reduced according to the present invention.
- the use of a storage surface which can be varied in its angle of inclination, promotes a more convenient, easily accessible and secure storage of the items to be washed in the crockery basket with optimal use of the storage space available.
- a clear arrangement of the items to be washed in certain positions in the crockery basket can be achieved and mutual contact of the items to be washed can be prevented, which favors their cleaning and prevents damage to the items and noise during the dishwasher, in particular the domestic dishwasher.
- the locking stages on the support element are designed as supports which, depending on the angle of inclination, act on the crockery basket and preferably hold it in place by placing it in place.
- the locking steps designed as supports on the support element can each have a concavely curved surface so that they each rest securely on the crockery basket over a longer distance.
- the design of the support element with a number of locking stages facilitates the handling of the support mechanism.
- the positions of the locking steps on the support element have an offset in the range from 1 to 10 mm, preferably from 2 to 8 mm, in particular from 3 to 6 mm.
- At least two support elements are arranged, preferably evenly distributed, on the underside of the storage surface.
- the provision of at least two support elements ensures, on the one hand, improved stability and, on the other hand, optimal positional accuracy of the storage area. An even distribution of the at least two support elements results in a reduced deflection of the storage surface.
- the storage surface can be pivoted between a folded-up rest position and at least one folded-down operating position.
- the folded-up rest position of the shelf is preferably a substantially union vertical position of the shelf, whereas the at least one folded operating position is an inclined position of the shelf at a selected inclination angle of the shelf.
- the plurality of folded-down operating positions favors a more convenient, easily accessible and secure storage of the items to be washed in the items to be washed while making optimal use of the storage space available. This also enables a clear arrangement of the items to be washed in certain positions in the crockery basket and prevents the items from touching each other, which favors their cleaning and prevents damage to the items being washed and the development of noise during the dishwasher, in particular the domestic dishwasher.
- the preferably flat storage surface consists of a plurality of longitudinal elements and transverse elements, preferably made of plastic or metal.
- the support surface is equipped, preferably in the area of the axis, with a stop contour for items to be washed, which is continuous or spaced apart.
- the stop contour for wash ware effectively secures the wash ware against slipping and thus against possible damage to the wash ware.
- the stop contour for wash ware has an effective effect regardless of the dimensions of the wash ware.
- the stop contour for items to be washed comprises round and / or polygonal stop segments.
- the mentioned shapes of the stop elements are simple and inexpensive to manufacture and they allow a largely unhindered flow of washing liquor through the shelf.
- the storage surface is preferably detachably connected to the crockery basket via a clamp connection.
- the preferably detachable connection of the storage surface to the crockery basket via a clamp connection ensures that the storage surface is securely fixed to the washware receptacle. If necessary, the storage area can also be separated as a whole from the crockery basket, for example for the purpose of arranging bulky items to be washed.
- the clamping connection between the storage surface and the crockery basket can be formed, for example, by appropriately curved, preferably hook-shaped ends of the storage surface.
- the crockery basket has a base of the crockery basket formed from a plurality of spaced longitudinal elements and transverse elements and forming a floor space, the transverse elements being arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal elements and the transverse elements being connected to the longitudinal elements at nodes .
- This configuration of the crockery basket ensures, in a known manner, a high level of stability and the desired dimensional accuracy of the crockery basket.
- the receiving base of the crockery basket is formed horizontally, approximately horizontally or slightly inclined in the area below the storage surface.
- This design of the receiving base of the crockery basket in the area below the storage surface already allows inclined receiving of items to be washed while avoiding undesired puddles and improving the drying performance.
- a longitudinal element of the crockery basket forms the axis for the storage surface and that the storage surface is preferably detachably connected to this longitudinal element of the crockery basket via a clamp connection.
- the use of an already existing longitudinal element of the crockery basket ensures that the storage surface is securely fixed to the crockery basket. If necessary, the storage area can also be separated as a whole from the crockery basket, for example for the purpose of arranging bulky items to be washed.
- the clamping connection between the storage surface and the crockery basket can be formed, for example, by appropriately curved, preferably hook-shaped ends of the storage surface.
- the number of support elements arranged on the underside of the storage surface is equal to the number of transverse elements at least partially covered by the storage surface, so that a transverse element is assigned to each support element.
- the crockery basket has several separate, preferably adjacent storage surfaces, each of which is assigned at least one support element.
- Such an arrangement of separate storage surfaces enables different angles of inclination of separate storage surfaces to be set independently and thus optimal utilization of the crockery basket for loading the items to be washed. This also makes it possible, for example, to use several storage surfaces in the crockery basket next to one another in order, for example, to accommodate a larger amount of flat items to be washed in the crockery basket.
- the storage surface and the at least one support element are made of the same material, in particular by an injection molding process.
- Such uniformity of material allows a reliable and cost-effective manufacturing method. It when the support element is at least partially made of elastic material, in particular a plastic, is particularly advantageous. This allows the support element to be easily adjusted into the desired positions.
- the support element is preferably pretensioned against the storage surface with a spring tension, the spring tension being able to be generated either by a separate spring mechanism or by the spring force inherent in the elastic material.
