Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dishwasher comprising a filtering mechanism with improved dirt retention performance.
  • Dishwashers comprises a sump which is disposed at the bottom of the washing tub, where the water in the washing tub is collected during the washing process, and a filtering mechanism which is disposed in the sump and which has a coarse filter and a micro filter.
  • the filtering mechanism becomes clogged due to dirt adhering thereto, especially after consecutive washings. Loss of function of the filtering mechanism causes the performance of the dishwasher to decrease.
  • the user is requested to remove and clean the filters periodically.
  • many users either never clean the filtering mechanism or cannot replace the same properly after the cleaning. Therefore, in the state of the art, various solutions have been developed where especially the micro filter cleans itself.
  • the coarse filter retains dirt large enough to prevent discharge, and allows the passage of dirt not large enough to prevent discharge, thus ensuring that the inside of the washing tub remains clean. Preventing the movement of dirt accumulated in the micro filter positively affects washing performance.
  • a spacer called "Chinese hat” is used between the coarse filter and the micro filter, which is positioned so as to remain above the coarse filter.
  • said spacer does not have a structure which prevents the dirt accumulated in the micro filter from moving.
  • a dishwasher comprising a filtering mechanism which has a coarse filter and a micro filter.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a dishwasher comprising a filtering mechanism with improved dirt retention performance.
  • the dishwasher realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises a washing tub wherein the dishes to be washed are loaded; a sump which is disposed at the lower side of the washing tub and wherein the water in the washing tub is collected during the washing process; and a filtering mechanism which is disposed in the sump, which is cylindrical and which has a micro filter collecting the dirt in the water, a coarse filter placed on the micro filter and a conical guiding member hung at the base of the coarse filter so as to extend into the micro filter and guiding the water passing through the coarse filter towards the lateral wall of the micro filter.
  • the water reaching the filtering mechanism passes through the coarse filter, then hits the lateral surface of the guiding member disposed at the lower side of the coarse filter and is directed towards the lateral wall of the micro filter.
  • the performance of the filtering mechanism and hence the washing performance are increased.
  • the guiding member is a right circular cone.
  • the lateral surface of the guiding member extends at a certain angle towards the lateral wall of the micro filter.
  • the dishwasher comprises a spacer which enables the guiding member to be attached to the coarse filter and which has a ring-shaped base and two opposite, parallel arms extending vertically upwards from the base.
  • the spacer is attached to the coarse filter by means of the two arms so as to be coaxial with the coarse filter.
  • the dishwasher comprises at least two hanging means which are placed opposite to each other and which extend perpendicularly between the base of the spacer and the base of the guiding member so as to remain under the spacer, and the guiding member is attached to the spacer so as to extend from the base downwards by means of said hanging means.
  • the spacer and the guiding member can be a single piece or two separate pieces.
  • the spacer is attached to the filtering mechanism together with the guiding member, to the coarse filter disposed above the micro filter.
  • the guiding member extends from the base of the spacer which forms the base of the coarse filter, downwards into the micro filter, as if suspended in air, so as to be coaxial with the micro filter and the coarse filter.
  • the lateral surface of the guiding member extends towards the lateral wall of the micro filter in a manner inclined from top to bottom.
  • the filtering mechanism comprising a spraying member which enables the micro filter to self-clean.
  • the micro filter, the coarse filter, the spraying member and the guiding member are placed coaxially.
  • the dishwasher comprises four hanging means.
  • the guiding member comprises at least one slit on the lateral surface thereof, which extends from top to bottom so as to enable water and dirt to leave the lateral surface more easily.
  • the movement in the micro filter is reduced by directing the water and dirt separated from the coarse filter to the lateral walls of the micro filter rather than to the center. Moreover, it can be used in both standard filtering mechanisms and filtering mechanisms where the micro filter has the ability to self-clean. Since the movement of the water in the micro filter is reduced, the water and dirt are distributed towards the lateral walls of the micro filter, thus preventing the movement of accumulated dirt and dirty water.
  • the dishwasher comprises a washing tub wherein the dishes to be washed are loaded; a sump which is disposed at the lower side of the washing tub and wherein the water in the washing tub is collected during the washing process; and a filtering mechanism (1) which is disposed in the sump, which is cylindrical and which has a micro filter (3) collecting the dirt in the water, a coarse filter (2) placed on the micro filter (3) and a conical guiding member (4) hung at the base of the coarse filter (2) so as to extend into the micro filter (3) and guiding the water passing through the coarse filter (2) towards the lateral wall of the micro filter (3).
  • the water reaching the filtering mechanism (1) passes through the coarse filter (2), then hits the lateral surface of the guiding member (4) disposed at the lower side of the coarse filter (2) and is directed towards the lateral wall of the micro filter (3).
  • the performance of the filtering mechanism (1) and hence the washing performance are increased ( Figure 1 ).
  • the guiding member (4) is a right circular cone.
  • the lateral surface (9) of the guiding member (4) extends at a certain angle towards the lateral wall of the micro filter (3).
  • the dishwasher comprises a spacer (5) which enables the guiding member (4) to be attached to the coarse filter (2) and which has a ring-shaped base (6) and two opposite, parallel arms (7) extending vertically upwards from the base (6).
  • the spacer (5) is attached to the coarse filter (2) by means of the two arms (7) so as to be coaxial with the coarse filter (2) ( Figure 3, Figure 4 and Figure 5 ).
  • the dishwasher comprises at least two hanging means (8) which are placed opposite to each other and which extend perpendicularly between the base (6) of the spacer (5) and the base of the guiding member (4) so as to remain under the spacer (5), and the guiding member (4) is attached to the spacer (5) so as to extend from the base (6) downwards by means of said hanging means (8).
  • the spacer (5) and the guiding member (4) can be a single piece or two separate pieces.
  • the spacer (5) is attached to the filtering mechanism (1) together with the guiding member (4), to the coarse filter (2) disposed above the micro filter (3).
  • the guiding member (4) extends from the base (6) of the spacer (5) which forms the base of the coarse filter (2), downwards into the micro filter (3), as if suspended in air, so as to be coaxial with the micro filter (3) and the coarse filter (2).
  • the lateral surface (9) of the guiding member (4) extends towards the lateral wall of the micro filter (3) in a manner inclined from top to bottom.
  • the filtering mechanism (1) comprising a spraying member (11) which enables the micro filter (3) to self-clean.
  • the micro filter (3), the coarse filter (2), the spraying member (11) and the guiding member (4) are placed coaxially ( Figure 2 ).
  • the dishwasher comprises four hanging means (8).
  • the guiding member (4) comprises at least one slit (10) on the lateral surface (9) thereof, which extends from top to bottom so as to enable water and dirt to leave the lateral surface (9) more easily.
  • the movement in the micro filter (3) is reduced by directing the water and dirt separated from the coarse filter (2) to the lateral walls of the micro filter (3) rather than to the center. Moreover, it can be used in both standard filtering mechanisms (1) and filtering mechanisms (1) where the micro filter (3) has the ability to self-clean. Since the movement of the water in the micro filter (3) is reduced, the water and dirt are distributed towards the lateral walls of the micro filter (3), thus preventing the movement of accumulated dirt and dirty water.
