- the washing baskets housed in a dishwasher are arranged so that they can be moved out of the dishwasher's washing compartment and can be moved by the user through the loading opening either out of the washing compartment or in the opposite direction into the washing compartment.
- basket guide rails are provided for each washing basket, by means of which the washing basket can be moved in relation to the washing container.
- a dishwashing basket of the generic type has a body. This is typically designed as a wire mesh, which has individual, plastic-coated wires connected to one another. Individual wire sections can be provided that are designed in the form of a web and/or a bracket.
- a handle unit is arranged on the body of the washing basket for handling the washing basket. This serves as a handle for the user and can be grasped by the user when operating the washing basket.
- Such a handle element is typically made of plastic and is fixed to the body of the washing basket.
- dishwashing baskets Although previously known dishwashing baskets have proven themselves in everyday practical use, there is a need for improvement, particularly with regard to simplified handling by a user. It is therefore the object of the invention to further develop the design of a dishwashing basket of the generic type in such a way that simplified handling by a user is permitted.
- the invention proposes a rinsing basket of the generic type, which is characterized by an electronic device integrated into the handle unit and a trigger element, wherein the electronic device is arranged in a housing which has two housing parts and a sealing device which seals the two housing parts against one another, wherein the trigger element interacts mechanically with the electronic device with the sealing device interposed.
- the rinsing basket according to the invention is equipped with an electronic device and a trigger element that interacts with it.
- the electronic device can be operated using the trigger element.
- the electronic device can be switched on or off using the trigger element.
- the electronic device provided according to the invention can serve different purposes and/or be provided for different functionalities of the washing basket and/or the dishwasher. However, what is of essential importance to the invention is that an electronic device is provided which is integrated in the handle unit of the washing basket in accordance with the invention.
- the electronic device When triggered, the electronic device can be used, for example, to switch the dishwasher lighting on or off, to switch a motor drive for the washing basket and/or the washing compartment door on or off and/or to select a washing program to be carried out by the dishwasher. and/or started or interrupted.
- the electronic device is arranged in a housing.
- the housing has two housing parts and a sealing device. In the final assembled state, the two housing parts are sealed against each other by means of the sealing device.
- the housing therefore accommodates the electronic device in a way that is protected against liquids.
- the triggering element interacts mechanically with the electronic device with the sealing device interposed.
- the sealing device not only ensures that the two housing parts are sealed against each other, but also that the trigger element is sealed against the electronic device.
- the electronic device is advantageously housed in a compact but fluid-tight manner, and this is integrated into the handle unit of the washing basket, which ensures that the user can easily access the trigger element.
- the handle unit can therefore not only be used by the user to move the washing basket, but also to be able to easily carry out or select the additional functions provided by the electronic device. This leads to overall simplified handling by the user, which is therefore improved compared to the state of the art.
- the construction according to the invention makes it possible to integrate an electronic device for other functions of the dishwasher and/or a lighting function into the handle unit of a washing basket.
- a waterproof encapsulation is provided so that the electronic device is safely protected from unwanted moisture ingress, for example from circulating washing water, even when used as intended.
- the advantage of the construction according to the invention The sealing device provided, which seals both the housing parts from each other and the trigger element from the electronic device, is a tolerance-independent overall construction, so that in any case a moisture-protected accommodation of the electronic device within the housing is guaranteed. In addition, this construction ensures tolerance-independent operation by a user, so that safe operation is advantageously guaranteed over the entire service life of the dishwasher.
- a space-optimized design is a further advantage, because the invention achieves a minimized size and in particular prevents the arrangement of additional components on the washing basket that may interfere with handling.
- the electronic device is integrated in a water-protected manner in the handle unit of the washing basket that is already provided.
- the integration into the handle unit is realized by means of the housing design according to the invention.
- the electronic device has a radio transmitter.
- the radio transmitter can be controlled, whereupon it emits a radio signal, for example in the form of a radio telegram.
- the radio transmitter is operatively connected to a radio receiver on the machine.
- the radio receiver is used to receive a radio signal emitted by the radio transmitter and to be able to process or forward it.
- the radio receiver can in turn be operatively connected, for example, to a motor drive for motor actuation of a dishwasher door.
- actuation of the trigger element by the user causes activation of a motorized door closing device.
- the radio receiver can alternatively or additionally also be operatively connected to other components and/or the control device of the dishwasher.
- the electronic device has a separate energy unit that supplies the electronic device, in particular the radio transmitter, with electrical energy.
- This is a component of the electronic device, so that autonomous operation is possible, and the functionality of the electronic device, in particular the radio transmitter, is therefore not dependent on a power supply of the dishwasher.
- a particular advantage of this design is that there is no power cable to the electronic device. is not required. This ensures safe operation of the dishwasher, also considering that the washing chamber is flooded with washing liquid when the dishwasher is used as intended.
- the energy unit can be, for example, an accumulator, a battery and/or the like.
- the energy unit is a piezo element that supplies the electronic device with electrical energy when activated.
- This piezo element does not provide electrical energy to supply the electronic device permanently, but only when activated as intended.
- the piezo element is advantageously maintenance-free and basically wear-free. This ensures permanently safe operation of the electronic device, which is why the piezo element is used as a particularly preferred energy unit.
- the piezo element is designed in such a way that when activated, it generates sufficient electrical energy due to the deformation caused by the activation, for example so that the radio transmitter can generate a radio signal and send it to the radio receiver on the machine.
- An electronic device designed in this way does not require its own power supply in the form of a mains cable or a battery, which fundamentally simplifies its use in the humid environment of the dishwasher's washing compartment.
- the sealing device has a plate-shaped base body which is arranged between the mutually facing end faces of the two housing parts.
- the sealing device according to the invention has a plate-shaped base body, which can be designed, for example, as a flat silicone element.
- the base body is arranged between the two housing parts of the housing, whereby the two housing parts are liquid-sealed from one another. Thanks to this design, any unwanted entry of liquid into the housing is reliably prevented.
- the two housing parts rest against the base body with their respective end faces facing each other.
- Each housing part is therefore sealed against the base body, which results in the overall tight design of the housing.
- the base body carries an assembly aid which interacts with one of the two housing parts.
- the assembly aid provided by the base body essentially serves two purposes. Firstly, it ensures that the side of the base body carrying the assembly aid is assigned to the corresponding housing part of the housing in the final assembled state. Secondly, the assembly aid ensures that the sealing device is aligned in a positionally secure manner relative to the two housing parts. As a result, assembly is simplified and it is also ensured that the sealing device is positioned precisely and securely between the two housing parts.
- the assembly aid is an edge arranged on the base body, which rests on the front side against the electronic device accommodated by the housing part.
- the assembly aid is preferably designed as an edge.
- the edge can be used to position the base body of the sealing device, which carries the assembly aid, securely on the associated housing part in the manner already described.
- the assembly aid serving as an edge also has the advantage that it serves to additionally fix the position of the electronic device accommodated by the housing part. This is because the edge is preferably designed in such a way that, in the final assembled state, its front side facing the electronic device rests against the electronic device. This ensures that the electronic device is fixed in position within the housing when used as intended, i.e. that no relative movement can occur between the electronic device and the housing even in the event of a shock. The electronic device is thus protected from unwanted movement in relation to the housing. In particular, it is not possible for the electronic device to wander back and forth within the housing or to move back and forth.
- the base body provides a receptacle for the trigger element on its side facing away from the assembly aid.
- This receptacle also serves in an advantageous manner to fix the position and -Security for the trigger element. This also serves to simplify assembly of the device according to the invention and to ensure safe positioning of the trigger element when used as intended.
- the receptacle for the trigger element is formed by an at least partially circumferential web.
- the web can, for example, be circular, so that a receptacle with a circular cross-section is formed.
- a trigger element preferably also with a circular cross-section, is inserted into this receptacle.
- the circumferential web holds the trigger element securely in its final assembled position.
- the sealing device is preferably designed in one piece and is preferably made of silicone.
- the sealing device provides the base body, which on one side has an assembly aid that interacts with the associated housing part and on the other side has a receptacle facing the other housing part, into which the trigger element is securely inserted in the final assembled state.
- the sealing device has several functions. Firstly, the sealing device serves to seal the two housing parts from one another. Furthermore, the sealing device is arranged between the electronic device and the trigger element, which also seals the trigger element from the electronic device. Furthermore, the sealing device serves to simplify assembly, both with regard to the arrangement of the sealing device between the two housing parts and with regard to the positioning of the trigger element that mechanically interacts with the electronic device.
- the trigger element interacts with an actuating element that can be operated by the user.
- the trigger element In the intended use, the trigger element is therefore not directly actuated by a user. Rather, it is a separate An actuating element is provided which interacts with the trigger element.
- the user operates the actuating element, which in turn interacts with the trigger element, which ultimately results in the electronic device being activated as intended.
- the actuating element is supported in a spring-elastic manner against the housing. This ensures that the actuating element is always in a defined position in relation to the housing.
- the actuating element is held in this position in a spring-elastic manner, for example by a spring element that is supported on the one hand against the housing and on the other hand against the actuating element.
- the actuating element is moved against the spring force acting on the actuating element, which in turn leads to activation of the trigger element.
- the actuating element is designed to be pivotable and/or movable relative to the housing. The user can therefore move and/or rotate the actuating element, depending on the desired design. In any case, operation of the actuating element results in movement of the same, which then leads, in the manner already described, to activation or actuation of the trigger element, which in turn interacts with the electronic device.
- the decoupling of the actuating element on the one hand and the triggering element on the other has the advantage that the housing construction including the electronic device and triggering element can be designed independently of the dishwasher or the dishwasher basket, so that a correspondingly designed actuating element can be used depending on the dishwasher and/or dishwasher basket construction.
- This provides a standardized design that can be used equally for different dishwasher and dishwasher basket constructions.
- one of the two housing parts is designed in the manner of a shell.
- This housing part takes up
- the other housing part is designed as a cover, which closes the housing part designed as a shell with the sealing device in between when used as intended.
- the electronic device is a circuit board equipped with electronic components.
- the circuit board When used as intended, the circuit board is securely held by the housing part designed as a shell.
- One of the electronic components preferably works together with the trigger element, which in total provides an operating button or knob or switch.
- the housing part which is designed in the manner of a shell, has a rear wall reinforced with ribs against which the circuit board of the electronic device rests.
- These ribs provide additional support for the circuit board of the electronic device, so that overall a stable and durable construction is provided.
- at least one rib is provided in the area of the circuit board that is opposite the trigger element. In this way, when used as intended, a load on the electronic device as a result of actuation of the trigger element is absorbed by the associated rib in a force-dissipating manner.
- the second housing part which interacts with the housing part designed in the manner of a shell, has a passage opening for the trigger element.
- the trigger element extends through the passage opening of the second housing part, so that interaction with the user-operated actuating element is possible in the manner described above.
- Housing part has a tooth structure on the electronic device side. This enables additional sealing or a positionally secure arrangement of the sealing device is achieved.
- the second housing part digs into the soft plastic material of the sealing device due to the tooth structure provided, which creates an intimate connection between the housing part and the sealing device. This effectively counteracts any unwanted slipping of the sealing device in relation to the housing.
- the invention further proposes a dishwasher with a washing basket of the type according to the invention.
- a dishwasher has the advantages already explained above.

- Dishwashing baskets are used to hold the items to be cleaned, whereby the illustration in Fig. 1 shows three dishwashing baskets 11, 12 and 13. These dishwashing baskets are in
- Height direction 10 arranged one above the other, with a lower basket 11, a in height direction 10 an upper basket 12 arranged above it and a cutlery drawer 13 arranged in the height direction 10 above the upper basket 12 are provided.
- the washing baskets 11, 12 and 13 are each designed to be movable out of or into the washing chamber 4, for which purpose each washing basket 11, 12 and 13 is supported by two basket guide rails. Looking towards the loading opening 5, each washing basket 11, 12 and 13 has a left-hand basket guide rail on the one hand and a right-hand basket guide rail on the other. For the sake of a better overview, the basket guide rails are not shown in detail in the figures.
- Fig. 2 shows a schematic perspective view of a washing basket of the dishwasher 1 using the example of the upper basket 12.
- the handle unit 16 serves as a handle for a user to be able to easily grasp the washing basket 12 when used as intended.
- the handle unit 16 serves in particular to enable a user to move the upper basket 12 out of the washing compartment 4 of the dishwasher 1 or into the washing compartment 4 of the dishwasher 1.
- the rinsing basket 12 has an electronic device 17 integrated into the handle unit 16 and a trigger element 19 which interacts with the electronic device 17.
- the electronic device 17 is arranged in a housing 23.
- the housing 23 has two housing parts 24 and 25 and a sealing device 28.
- the sealing device 28 is arranged between the two housing parts 24 and 25, whereby the two housing parts 24 and 25 are sealed against each other. In the Consequently, the electronic device 17 is arranged within the housing 23 in a liquid-protected manner.
- the trigger element 19 serves to actuate the electronic device 17 and interacts with it. It is provided that the trigger element 19 interacts mechanically with the electronic device 17 with the sealing device interposed, as is also particularly evident from the illustration in Fig. 4.
- the electronic device 17 in turn has a circuit board 18 equipped with electronic components.
- the electronic device 17 can be used to provide or carry out different functionalities.
- the electronic device 17 can be designed to control a motor-controlled drive for moving the washing basket 12 and/or the washing compartment door 6. This can be done by radio, for example. It is also conceivable for the electronic device 17 to control a lighting device provided by the dishwasher 1.
- the electronic device 17 can also be used for other functions of the dishwasher 1.
- the electronic device 17 is integrated into the handle unit 16 in a space-saving manner and protected from moisture, for which purpose the electronic device 17 is arranged within a two-part housing 23 and interacts with a trigger element 19, wherein a sealing device 28 is provided which, on the one hand, seals the two housing parts 24 and 25 of the housing 23 against one another and, on the other hand, ensures a seal between the trigger element 19 and the electronic device 17.
- the sealing device 28 has a plate-shaped base body 29. This can be designed, for example, as a flat silicone element. In the final assembled state, the base body 29 of the sealing device 28 is arranged between the mutually facing end faces 30 and 31 of the two housing parts 24 and 25. Due to this, the previously described sealing of the two housing parts 24 and 25 with respect to one another is ensured.
- the base body 29 carries on its side facing the housing part 24 a Assembly aid.
- This assembly aid is designed as an edge 32 arranged in one piece on the base body 29. During assembly, this edge allows the sealing device 28 to be arranged in a precise position in relation to the housing part 24. In addition, the edge 32 can be used to correctly assign the sealing device 28 to the housing part 24.
- the edge 32 forming the assembly aid rests with its front side 33 on the electronic device 17 accommodated by the housing part 24. This ensures that the electronic device 17 is also fixed in position in relation to the housing part 24 in the final assembled state, so that the circuit board 18 of the electronic device 17 cannot move back and forth unintentionally within the housing 23.
- the base body 29 of the sealing device 28 provides a receptacle 34 for the trigger element 19 on its side facing away from the assembly aid.
- the receptacle 34 is formed by an at least partially circumferential web 35.
- the trigger element 19 with its head part facing the sealing device 28 is arranged in a precise and secure position within the receptacle 34 enclosed by the web 35.
- the trigger element 19 interacts with an actuating element 20 that can be operated by the user.
- the actuating element is supported in a spring-elastic manner against the housing 23, for which purpose a spring 27 is provided between the actuating element 20 and the housing part 25.
- the housing part 25 has an opening 26 through which the trigger element 19 protrudes. In this way, an operative connection is realized between the trigger element 19 on the one hand and the actuating element 20 on the other. Thanks to the design according to the invention, a separate sealing of the opening 26 to protect the electronic device 17 from moisture is not required, since the sealing device 28 or the base body 29 provided by it is arranged between the trigger element 19 on the one hand and the electronic device 17 on the other. Furthermore, since the two housing parts 24 and 25 lie against one another in a liquid-tight manner with the sealing device 18 arranged between them, the electronic device 17 is protected overall from unwanted moisture ingress.
- the actuating element 20 is guided within an opening 22 formed by a cover 21. The actuating element 20 is supported on the rear side of the cover 21 under the action of the spring force generated by the spring 27 when the actuating element 20 is not actuated by the user.
- the actuating element 20 When actuated, the actuating element 20 is moved translationally against the spring force of the spring 27, specifically to the left as viewed in the direction of Fig. 4. As a result, the actuating element 20 comes into contact with the trigger element 19, whereupon the trigger element 19 also moves translationally, also to the left as viewed in the plane of the illustration in Fig. 4.
- the trigger element 19 thus acts mechanically on the electronic device 17 with the interposition of the sealing device 28, specifically on an electronic component provided by the circuit board 18.
- This electronic component can be, for example, a switch which starts or ends a process controlled by the electronic device 17 as a result of being triggered by the trigger element 19.
- the switch can be or have a piezo element which is designed in such a way that, when actuated, it generates sufficient energy to operate the electronic device, for example to generate a radio signal and send the radio signal to a machine-side radio receiver, due to the deformation caused by the actuation.
- Fig. 3 additionally shows, in a schematic perspective view, the cover 21 with the actuating element 20 provided thereby.
- the electronic device 17 is arranged in a liquid-tight manner within the housing 23, with the housing 23 itself being integrated into the handle unit 16 of the washing basket 2. In this way, a space-saving, but nevertheless liquid-tight accommodation of the electronic device 17 or handle unit 16 is achieved.
- Figures 5 and 6 show a second embodiment. According to this, the cover 21 also serves as the actuating element 20.
- the actuating element 20 can be rotated about a pivot point 36 arranged.
- the actuating element 20 In order to actuate the trigger element 19, the actuating element 20 must be pivoted clockwise. As a result of such a pivoting movement, the actuating element 20 moves onto the trigger element 19, wherein the trigger element 19 is captured on the actuating element side by means of a recess 37 provided by the actuating element 20. An unwanted migration of the trigger element 19 in relation to the actuating element 20 is thus reliably prevented, which ensures that the trigger element 19 is actuated as intended. Otherwise, the construction of the second embodiment corresponds to that of the first embodiment.
- Figures 8 to 13 show different views of the housing 23 or the housing parts 24 and 25, both on their own and in an arrangement on the handle unit 16.
- the structure according to the invention is designed to be as simple as possible, which enables both easy assembly and disassembly, but at the same time also provides a safe and, above all, long-lasting function when used as intended.
- FIG. 10 shows that the rear wall 39 provided by the housing part 24 has ribs 38. In the final assembled state, these ribs 38 support the electronic device 17 or the circuit board provided by it.
- the sealing device 28 which is arranged in the final assembled state between the two housing parts 24 and 25, has on its side facing the housing part 25 a circular web 35 which forms a receptacle 34.
- This receptacle 34 serves to securely position the trigger element 19. In the final assembled state, between the electronic device 17 and the trigger element
- the sealing device 28 is arranged.
- the sealing device 28 according to the invention therefore seals the trigger element 19 on the one hand and the two housing parts 24 and 25 on the other hand from each other. It is also important according to the invention that the sealing device 28 has projections on its side facing the housing part 24 on the one hand and on its side facing the trigger element 19 on the other hand, which serve as an assembly aid. This ensures that during assembly, the sealing device is inserted into the housing 23 in a precise position and that the trigger element 19 is also guided in a precise position.
- a rocker which is pivotable on the washing basket 12 and is pivoted when actuated is preferred, as shown by way of example in Figures 5 and 6.
- a purely translationally movable actuating element 20 is used, as explained above with reference to Figures 3 and 4.
- FIG. 14 A further embodiment is shown in Fig. 14.
- the embodiment according to Fig. 14 differs from the other embodiments in that the second housing part 25 has a tooth structure 14 on its side facing the sealing device 28.
- this tooth structure 14 digs into the side of the base body 29 of the sealing device 28 facing the housing part 25 in a form-fitting manner, which on the one hand provides an increased sealing effect and on the other hand creates additional slip protection for the sealing device 28.
