Description

Ciclo mejorado de funcionamiento de un lavavajillas y lavavajillas que lleva a cabo dicho ciclo.Improved operating cycle of a dishwasher and dishwasher that performs this cycle.

La presente invención se refiere máquinas lavavajillas y en particular a un ciclo para lavavajillas adecuado para conseguir mejores resultados del lavado y reducir el consumo de agua.The present invention relates to machines dishwasher and in particular at a suitable dishwasher cycle to achieve better washing results and reduce the consumption of Water.

Es conocido que diversos modelos de lavavajillas incluyen el denominado ciclo de "remojo" en el cual la máquina carga agua, la bomba de lavado funciona durante algunos minutos y entonces la bomba de drenaje drena el agua fuera del depósito. El remojo conseguido a través de un ciclo corto de este tipo evita que la suciedad se seque en la vajilla, por lo que es más fácil lavarla cuando se lleva a cabo el ciclo completo (véase, por ejemplo, EP 0 725 181A).It is known that various dishwasher models include the so-called "soak" cycle in which the machine charges water, the wash pump works for a few minutes and Then the drain pump drains the water out of the tank. The soaking achieved through such a short cycle prevents the dirt dries in the dishes, making it easier to wash when the complete cycle is carried out (see, for example, EP 0 725 181A).

Este ciclo es por lo tanto aconsejable cuando la carga de vajilla es insuficiente para arrancar el lavavajillas para un ciclo completo. De hecho, en este caso los platos sucios permanecerán en la máquina durante algunas horas antes de ser lavados, hasta la próxima comida cuando se complete la carga de la máquina.This cycle is therefore advisable when the tableware load is insufficient to start the dishwasher to a complete cycle In fact, in this case the dirty dishes they will remain in the machine for a few hours before being washed, until the next meal when the loading of the machine.

También es posible que el usuario desee retrasar el arranque del ciclo de la máquina incluso aunque la máquina esté completamente cargada. Esto puede ser útil para evitar el solapado del funcionamiento de otros aparatos electrodomésticos, o para utilizar la máquina durante un período de tarifa más baja, en el caso de tarifas diferentes para períodos de bajo y alto consumo. En este caso, el retraso del arranque del ciclo se establece a través de un temporizador el cual arrancará la máquina en el momento deseado.It is also possible that the user wishes to delay the start of the machine cycle even if the machine is fully charged This can be useful to avoid overlapping. of the operation of other household appliances, or for use the machine for a lower rate period, in the case of different rates for periods of low and high consumption. In In this case, the cycle start delay is set through of a timer which will start the machine at the moment wanted.

Aunque el remojo permite conseguir unos buenos resultados del lavado, hay dos tipos de inconvenientes.Although soaking allows you to get good ones washing results, there are two types of inconveniences.

Un primer inconveniente es que hay un consumo mayor de agua puesto que cuando se lleva a cabo el lavado, el ciclo arranca desde el principio sin tener en cuenta si se ha llevado a cabo o no con anterioridad el ciclo de remojo. Por lo tanto todo el consumo de agua durante el ciclo de remojo es un consumo adicional.A first drawback is that there is a consumption greater water since when washing is carried out, the cycle starts from the beginning regardless of whether it has led to carry out the soak cycle before or not. Therefore all the water consumption during the soaking cycle is a consumption additional.

Un segundo inconveniente procede del hecho de que el ciclo de remojo debe ser programado por el usuario separadamente del ciclo de lavado completo, se retrase o no este último. En otras palabras, si el usuario se olvida de establecer el ciclo de remojo después de cargar la máquina, el lavado resultante no será completamente satisfactorio.A second drawback comes from the fact that the soak cycle must be programmed by the user separately of the complete wash cycle, the latter is delayed or not. In others words, if the user forgets to set the soak cycle After loading the machine, the resulting washing will not be completely satisfactory.

Por lo tanto, el objeto de la presente invención es proporcionar un ciclo de funcionamiento y un lavavajillas que superen los inconvenientes anteriormente mencionados.Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide an operating cycle and a dishwasher that overcome the above mentioned inconveniences.

Este objeto se consigue por medio de un ciclo que incluye los pasos de funcionamiento descritos en la reivindicación 1 y de un lavavajillas que tiene las características descritas en la reivindicación 2.This object is achieved through a cycle that includes the operating steps described in claim 1 and of a dishwasher that has the characteristics described in the claim 2.

La primera ventaja del ciclo actual es evitar cualquier consumo adicional de agua cuando se lleva a cabo el ciclo de remojo.The first advantage of the current cycle is to avoid any additional water consumption when the cycle is carried out Soak

La segunda ventaja de este ciclo de funcionamiento es que no requiere un ajuste separado del ciclo de remojo cuando el usuario establece un retraso en el arranque para un ciclo retrasado. Esto asegura un buen resultado del lavado y ahorra al usuario el esfuerzo de recordar la necesidad de un doble ajuste.The second advantage of this cycle of operation is that it does not require a separate adjustment of the cycle of soak when the user sets a delay in startup for a delayed cycle This ensures a good wash result and saves to the user the effort to remember the need for a double adjustment.

Estas y otras ventajas y características del ciclo y del lavavajillas de la presente invención se harán evidentes para aquellos expertos en la técnica a partir de la siguiente descripción detallada de una realización de la misma, con referencia al único dibujo, adjunto como figura 1, en el que se ilustra un diagrama del dispositivo del lavavajillas que lleva a cabo el ciclo.These and other advantages and characteristics of cycle and the dishwasher of the present invention will become apparent for those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of an embodiment thereof, with reference to the only drawing, attached as figure 1, which illustrates a diagram of the dishwasher device that carries out the cycle.

Con referencia a dicha figura, se ve que un dispositivo del lavavajillas de acuerdo con la invención incluye un temporizador T, un programador P, una bomba de lavado L y una bomba de drenaje S. El programador P controla como de costumbre las bombas L y S a fin de llevar a cabo los diversos pasos del ciclo de lavado y el temporizador T a su vez controla la activación del programador P cuando se establece un retraso en el arranque.With reference to said figure, it is seen that a dishwasher device according to the invention includes a timer T, a programmer P, a wash pump L and a pump drainage system S. Programmer P controls the pumps as usual L and S in order to carry out the various steps of the wash cycle and timer T in turn controls programmer activation P when a start delay is established.

A diferencia de las máquinas de la técnica anterior, en este caso el temporizador T también controla directamente las bombas L y S. De este modo, cuando el temporizador T se activa para retrasar el arranque del ciclo, no sólo proporciona la desactivación del programador P hasta que se alcance el tiempo deseado sino que también interviene inmediatamente sobre las bombas. En particular, la bomba de lavado L funciona durante algunos minutos a fin de cargar el agua en el depósito y llevar a cabo el remojo, mientras que la bomba de drenaje S se mantiene desactivada.Unlike the machines of the technique above, in this case timer T also controls directly the pumps L and S. Thus, when the timer T is activated to delay the start of the cycle, not only provides P programmer deactivation until time is reached desired but also intervenes immediately on the bombs. In particular, the wash pump L works for a few minutes in order to load the water into the tank and carry out the soaking, while the drain pump S remains deactivated.

Por consiguiente, al final del ciclo de remojo la máquina se para con el agua en el depósito, preparada para el ciclo de lavado completo en el momento previamente establecido. Sin embargo, puesto que el depósito ya está lleno de agua, cuando se arranca el ciclo completo no existe carga adicional de agua, sino que se vuelve a utilizar el agua del remojo. De este modo se consigue el objeto de reducir el consumo de agua y el remojo lo lleva a cabo automáticamente la máquina cuando se establece un retraso del arranque a través del temporizador T.Therefore, at the end of the soaking cycle the machine stops with the water in the tank, ready for the cycle Full washing at the time previously established. Without However, since the tank is already full of water, when the complete cycle starts there is no additional load of water, but Soak water is reused. In this way get the object of reducing water consumption and soak it automatically performs the machine when a start delay through timer T.

Está claro que la realización anteriormente descrita e ilustrada del dispositivo de acuerdo con la invención es sólo un ejemplo susceptible de diversas modificaciones. En particular, en lugar de conectar directamente el temporizador T a las bombas, es posible ajustarlo de forma que el programador P lleve a cabo el ciclo de remojo tan pronto como se establezca el retraso del arranque. Evidentemente tampoco en este caso se drena el agua al final del ciclo del remojo y el programador P se desactiva entonces hasta que se llegue al momento deseado para llevar a cabo el ciclo de lavado completo.It is clear that the realization above described and illustrated of the device according to the invention is Only one example susceptible to various modifications. In particular, instead of directly connecting the timer T to the pumps, it is possible to adjust it so that the programmer P carries run the soak cycle as soon as the delay is established Startup Obviously, in this case, the water is not drained end of the soak cycle and the programmer P is then deactivated until the desired time is reached to carry out the cycle full wash.
