Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dishwasher, in particular in the configuration as a domestic dishwasher, with a washing compartment that provides a washing compartment and is used to hold items to be cleaned, the washing compartment having a loading opening for loading with items to be washed, which can be closed in a fluid-tight manner by means of a pivoted washing compartment door. and with a dosing unit provided by the washing room door for storing a pourable cleaning agent for a plurality of cleaning cycles, the dosing unit for introducing cleaning agent in portions into the washing room having a tube that provides a discharge channel that opens into a discharge opening on the washing room side.
  • Dishwashers of the type mentioned at the outset are well known per se from the prior art, which is why separate printed evidence is not required at this point. It is therefore only an example of the DE 10 2015 120 412 A1 referenced, which relates to a generic dishwasher.
  • Dishwashers of the generic type have a washing container that provides a washing space. This is accessible to the user via a loading opening which can be closed in a fluid-tight manner by means of a pivotably mounted washing compartment door. When used as intended, the washing compartment serves to accommodate items to be cleaned, which can be crockery, cutlery and/or the like, for example.
  • process chemicals are generally used, which are supplied to the rinsing chamber during a rinsing and/or drying process.
  • process chemicals are, in particular, cleaning chemicals that are fed to the washing compartment under program control.
  • the according to DE 10 2015 120 412 A1 known dosing unit has a dosing device.
  • This dosing device is equipped with an exchangeable reservoir, which is used to store detergent in a quantity that is sufficient for a number of individual cleaning programs.
  • the quantity of cleaning agent intended for carrying out a cleaning program as intended is removed from the reservoir under program control and fed to the washing compartment of the dishwasher.
  • the dosing unit has a tube that provides a discharge channel that opens into a discharge opening on the side of the flushing chamber. In the case of dosing, cleaning agent is introduced into the washing chamber in portions via the ejection opening.
  • the invention proposes a dishwasher of the type mentioned at the beginning, which is characterized in that the ejection channel is divided into two ducts that are fluidically separated from one another on the ejection opening side, one of the two shafts being equipped with an IR light barrier, one provides the light beam traversing the channel provided by the well.
  • cleaning agent will adhere in or on the discharge opening or in the discharge channel leading to the discharge opening. Those attachments are caused by moisture-related clumping of the cleaning agent and can lead to a narrowing or even clogging of the discharge channel and/or the discharge opening. Proper operation of the dishwasher is then no longer possible because cleaning agent that is actually to be introduced into the washing compartment is held back in an unintentional manner.
  • the spray device of the dishwasher has a spray nozzle which interacts with the ejection opening.
  • unwanted cleaning agent adhesion is avoided or cleaning agent residues that may have remained from a previous washing program step are removed.
  • the discharge opening and the discharge channel opening into the discharge opening are kept free of cleaning agent residues, in particular encrustations and/or adhesions.
  • the sensor is an IR light barrier, which is preferably arranged near the ejection opening.
  • “close” means that the spray jet emitted during operation by the spray nozzle interacting with the discharge opening also cleans the sensor. It is thus ensured that not only the discharge opening and the discharge channel opening into the discharge opening, but also the sensor provided for detecting the release of cleaning agent are subject to repeated cleaning, which advantageously increases operational reliability.
  • the ejection channel or the ejection opening In order for the sensor designed as an IR light barrier to function properly and reliably, the ejection channel or the ejection opening must not be too wide in the direction of the light beam provided by the IR light barrier. Not because angular deviations of the light beam caused by manufacturing tolerances can mean that the light beam emitted by the transmitter of the IR light barrier does not reach the receiver of the IR light barrier. As a result, it is no longer possible to reliably detect cleaning agent released into the washing compartment. In order to ensure proper functioning of the IR light barrier, it is preferable to design the ejection channel or the ejection opening in the direction of the light beam provided by the IR light barrier as narrowly or as small as possible.
  • the dishwasher which can in particular be a domestic dishwasher, comprises a washing compartment providing a washing compartment, which is used to accommodate items to be cleaned, the washing compartment having a loading opening for loading items to be washed, which can be closed in a fluid-tight manner by means of a pivotably mounted washing compartment door.
  • It also includes a dosing unit provided by the washing compartment door for storing a pourable, ie for example a powdered or granular, cleaning agent for a plurality of cleaning cycles, the dosing unit for introducing cleaning agent in portions into the washing compartment has a tube which provides a discharge channel, which opens into a discharge opening on the side of the washing chamber.
  • a dosing unit provided by the washing compartment door for storing a pourable, ie for example a powdered or granular, cleaning agent for a plurality of cleaning cycles
  • the dosing unit for introducing cleaning agent in portions into the washing compartment has a tube which provides a discharge channel, which opens into a discharge opening on the side of the washing chamber.
  • the discharge channel is divided into two shafts that are fluidically separated from one another on the discharge opening side.
  • Each chute opens into the rinsing chamber, so that the two chute openings together form the ejection opening.
  • One of the two shafts is equipped with an IR light barrier that provides a light beam that traverses the channel provided by the shaft.
  • the channel provided by the other shaft is not traversed by the light beam.
  • the invention therefore, only one of the two shafts for detecting the cleaning agent is monitored by sensors.
  • This has the advantage of being able to optimally adjust the shaft equipped with the IR light barrier with regard to its geometric dimensions for the intended use of the IR light barrier.
  • the other shaft can basically be of any size, which enables optimization with regard to the cleaning of the discharge channel or the discharge opening by a spray jet emitted by the spray device of the dishwasher. The result of this configuration is the synergetic effect that both reliable sensing of the cleaning agent and cleaning as desired are made possible.
  • the overall result is the advantage of being able to design the ejection opening as large as you like without sacrificing signal quality with regard to the IR light barrier.
  • a maximum entry of rinsing liquid into the discharge channel or the discharge opening can be ensured.
  • a smaller design of the trickle sensor, i.e. the IR light barrier can be selected, which also leads to an economic advantage with regard to production.
  • a partition extending into the discharge opening is provided for dividing the discharge channel into two shafts.
  • the geometric dimensions of the partition depend on the installation space required for the IR light barrier. Because the inventive subdivision of the Ausschlausungskanals in a first shaft and a second shaft, it is allowed to choose the size of the shaft housing the IR light barrier so that an optimized operation of the IR light barrier in particular from the aspect of a Minimization of the susceptibility to failure is achieved.
  • the partition wall is to be designed accordingly, in particular in the longitudinal direction of the discharge channel.
  • the two shafts each have a channel opening into a respective opening on the washing chamber side, the two channel openings together forming the ejection opening.
  • the advantage of the configuration according to the invention in this context is that the size of the channel opening of the shaft accommodating the IR light barrier can be specified in accordance with an optimized use of the IR light barrier and that the channel opening of the second shaft can be freely selected without affecting the operation of the IR light barrier can be, so that the overall size of the ejection opening results, which allows an optimized entry of rinsing liquid, in particular for cleaning the ejection opening.
  • the shaft equipped with the IR light barrier is designed to be optimized for operation of the IR light barrier with regard to its geometric dimensions, in particular in the direction of the light beam provided by the light barrier.
  • the extension of the shaft channel in the direction of the IR light beam should be selected in such a way that a sufficient quantity of cleaning agent to be discharged can be passed through the shaft channel so that reliable detection is possible, on the one hand and on the other hand, that the emanating from the transmitter of the IR light barrier Light beam also safely reaches the assigned receiver, even under manufacturing and component-related tolerances.
  • the ejection opening on the rinsing chamber side is partially covered by a cover, leaving an ejection gap, with a hood open downwards in the closed position of the washing chamber door being provided for each shaft channel opening.
  • hoods has the advantage that the ejection opening is closed on all sides except for the ejection gap, so that unwanted ingress of dirt, liquids, leftover food and/or the like into the ejection opening is largely prevented.
  • the gaps left by the hoods are set up in such a way that they are in the closed position of the washing compartment door point down. Accordingly, the ejection opening is covered upwards when the washing compartment door is in the open position, so that when the dishwasher is being loaded, liquids dripping off the items to be cleaned and/or food residues falling down cannot reach the ejection opening directly through the ejection gap.
  • the pipe has an inlet opening opposite the discharge opening, the discharge opening and the inlet opening being offset relative to one another with respect to the longitudinal direction of the pipe.
  • This staggered arrangement of the inlet opening and discharge opening makes it possible to preferentially supply cleaning agent which has entered the pipe via the inlet opening to one of the two shafts of the discharge channel on the side of the washing chamber. It is thus structurally ensured in a simple manner that preferably only one of the two shafts, namely the shaft equipped with the IR light barrier, is charged with cleaning agent in the dosing case. Not only qualitative sensory detection is then possible, but also quantitative sensory detection. It is sufficient to carry out a threshold value check as part of a quantitative determination in order to be able to advantageously calculate in advance by means of a machine control how many dosing operations detergent is stored in the reservoir of the dosing unit.
  • means can be provided as an alternative or in addition, by means of which the cleaning agent fed into the tube via the inlet opening can be fed to the shaft equipped with the IR light barrier.
  • Such means can in particular be guide and/or impact ribs that are positioned in the discharge channel. A targeted deflection of the cleaning agent fed into the pipe can thus be undertaken in the direction of the preferred shaft.
  • the cover having the two hoods is designed in one piece. It is given a cost-effective production and simple assembly.
  • a dishwasher 1 in a purely schematic representation.
  • this has a housing 2 which accommodates a washing container 3 .
  • the washing compartment 3 in turn provides a washing chamber 4 for receiving items to be washed to be cleaned.
  • the washing compartment 3 has a loading opening 5. This can be closed in a fluid-tight manner by means of a washing compartment door 6, the washing compartment door 6 being pivotably mounted about a horizontal pivot axis.
  • the dishwasher When used as intended, the items to be washed are treated with washing liquid, the so-called washing liquor, for which purpose the dishwasher has a spray device 8 .
  • the spray device 8 includes an upper spray arm 9 and a lower spray arm 10, which are each arranged rotatably mounted.
  • FIG. 2 shows an interior view of the washing compartment door 6 in a schematic perspective representation.
  • the inside of the washing compartment door 6 has a combination device 11 known from the prior art, which has a supply of rinse aid 12 on the one hand and an individual storage container 13 on the other hand, which the user has to fill up manually with cleaning agent for each cleaning cycle.
  • the dishwasher 1 also has a dosing unit 14 which is also accessible to the user via the inside 7 of the washing compartment door 6 .
  • the dosing unit 14 in turn has a housing 28 which accommodates a dosing device 15 .
  • the dosing device 15 is accessible to the user via a loading opening provided by the housing 28 .
  • the loading opening of the housing 28 sealed fluid-tight by means of a housing cover.
  • the dosing device 15 has a receptacle 27 for a storage container that can be accommodated therein, preferably in an exchangeable manner, as can be seen in particular from the illustration figure 5 results.
  • This reservoir stores an amount of cleaning agent that is sufficient for a plurality of cleaning cycles to be completed, ie cleaning programs.
  • the dosing device 15 of the dosing unit 14 releases detergent in portions, which then flows into the washing compartment 4 of the dishwasher.
  • a discharge opening 17 is provided on the inside 7 of the washing compartment door 6 .
  • This discharge opening 17 is covered on the treatment room side with a cover 19, as can be seen in particular from a synopsis of the figures 2 and 3 shows.
  • a pipe 29, which provides a discharge channel 30, is used to check cleaning agent from the dosing device 15 to the discharge opening 17, as can be seen in particular from the illustration 6 results.
  • the pipe 29 has an inlet opening 18 opposite the discharge opening 17 Ausschleusungskanal 30 of the pipe 29 and is thus guided to the outlet opening 30, from where it enters the rinsing chamber 4.
  • the discharge channel 30 is divided into two fluidically separate shafts 25 and 26 on the discharge opening side, as can be seen in particular from a synopsis of the figures 4 , 5 and 6 results.
  • one of the two shafts 26 accommodates an IR light barrier 31 which provides a light beam 37 traversing the channel 24 provided by the shaft 26 .
  • the other of the two shafts 25 provides a duct 23, with both ducts opening into a respective duct opening, which together form the ejection opening 17, which factual connection is evident in particular from the illustration figure 5 results.
  • a partition wall 22 is provided which projects into the discharge opening 17, which the figures 4 and 5 reveal.
  • the cover 19 covering the discharge opening 17 on the inside of the door has a hood 20 and 21 for each channel opening of the shafts 25 and 26, which in particular figures 2 and 3 reveal.
  • the cover 19 is preferably formed in one piece, which enables simplified assembly.
  • each hood 20 or 21 is provided with a discharge gap 38 pointing downwards in the closed position of the washing compartment door 6 . In the intended dosing case, the cleaning agent discharged via the discharge opening 17 passes through this discharge gap 38 into the washing chamber 4.
  • the shaft 26 on the right accommodates the aforementioned sensor in the form of an IR light barrier 31 for sensing the cleaning agent.
  • the inventive subdivision of the ejection channel 30 into the two shafts 25 and 26 makes it possible for the shaft 26 accommodating the IR light barrier 31 in its geometric configurations to be interpreted in such a way that an optimized operation of the IR light barrier 31 is permitted.
  • the geometric extension of the shaft 26 in the width direction, ie in the direction of the light beam provided by the IR light barrier 31 37 be designed so that a reliable reception of the light beam 37 by the for intended receiver of the IR light barrier 31 is guaranteed.
  • At least one spray nozzle 16 (if necessary also several spray nozzles) of lower spray arm 10 is designed in such a way that the spray jet emitted by this spray nozzle 16 passes through discharge gap 38 into the area of the Discharge opening 17 of the discharge channel 30 can penetrate, which is particularly evident 2 results.
  • the discharge opening 17 is reliably hit by the spray jet emitted by the spray nozzle 16 .
  • the senor designed as an IR light barrier 31 also known as a trickle sensor, has a holder 32 that accommodates a printed circuit board 33 .
  • Optical waveguides 34 and 35 are connected to this printed circuit board 33, through which light is guided in the intended use case.
  • the light beam 37 is formed when used as intended, which is particularly evident from the illustration 8 reveals. This arrangement can be used to reliably detect whether the cleaning agent dispensed by the dosing unit 14 is actually routed through the discharge opening 17 into the washing compartment 4 .
