Description
- This application is a U.S. nationalization under 35 U.S.C. § 371 of International Application No. PCT/EP2016/063152, filed Jun. 9, 2016, which claims priority to German Application No. 102015109220.4 filed Jun. 10, 2015.
- The present disclosure relates to a pull-out guide for a washing appliance, for example, a dishwasher, as well as a washing appliance.
- A generic pull-out guide for a washing appliance of this kind, for example, a dishwasher, is known, for example, from EP 1 552 781 B1. Such a pull-out guide consists essentially of a first rail which can be fastened to a side wall of a washing chamber, a second rail which can be fastened to the rack and an intermediate rail connecting the two rails to enable a full extension.
- In order to avoid the sluggishness of such a pull-out guide due to soiling, in particular in the region of the sliding guide surfaces of the rails which can be moved relative to each other, which can necessarily occur in the washing chamber of such a washing appliance, the rails of the pull-out guide of EP 1 552 781 B1 are provided with passage openings in order to enable rinsing of the pull-out guide with rinsing fluid and to thus flush out again the rinsing fluid and/or dirt particles such as food residues or the like from the pull-out guide during the operation of the washing appliance. Provided that not all areas of the pull-out guide are reached during the rinsing, soiling can still occur which can impair the functionality of the pull-out guide.
- A pull-out guide according to the present disclosure for a washing appliance for pulling out a rack from a washing chamber of the washing appliance has a first inner rail which can be mounted on a side wall of the washing chamber, a first outer rail which is mounted on the first inner rail such that it can be displaced in a displacement direction, a second inner rail which is secured on the first outer rail, and a second outer rail which is mounted in a displaceable manner on the second inner rail and on which the rack can be fastened. The first inner rail, the first outer rail, the second inner rail and the second outer rail are arranged vertically one above the other. The outer rails are designed in the form of hollow profiles with an accommodating region, which is partially open in the direction of the side wall and the respective inner rail, and is intended for accommodating the respective inner rail. The outer surfaces of the inner rails and the inner surfaces of the outer rails, the inner surfaces being directed towards the inner rails, are in the form of run-off surfaces, for preventing washing fluid which is used during operation of the washing appliance from being deposited.
- In contrast to the aforementioned EP 1 552 781 B1, penetration of washing fluid into the interior of the pull-out guide is largely prevented by means of a pull-out guide designed in this way.
- The shaping according to the disclosure of the outer surfaces of the inner rails and of the inner surfaces of the outer rails facing the inner rails as run-off surfaces also ensures that any washing fluid penetrating into the pull-out guide cannot accumulate in the interior of the pull-out guide since no grooves or the like are formed in the interior of the pull-out guide.
- The aforementioned outer surfaces of the inner rails as well as the inner surfaces of the outer rails facing the inner rails are all oriented in such a way that washing fluid impinging thereon can run off from them due to gravity.
- According to one embodiment, at least one rolling element cage with rolling elements mounted therein is arranged between one of the respective inner rails and one of the respective outer rails, which promotes reliable and easy movement of the inner rails and outer rails relative to each other.
- According to a further embodiment, the inner rails have a raceway section and a fastening and shielding section. The shielding section of the fastening and shielding section of at least one of the inner rails is at least partially formed as an inclined surface which is inclined towards the side wall of the washing chamber, as a result of which additional shielding of the running surfaces of the raceway section is ensured.
- According to a further embodiment, the outer rails are designed, on a side facing the washing chamber in the assembled state, to shield the respective inner rails from fluid entry.
- In particular, a lower free end of a wall of the outer rail facing the washing chamber is formed in this case to be bent from a vertical by a maximum of 90° in the direction of the fastening and shielding section of the respective inner rail.
- In an embodiment, the foregoing angle is less than 90°. By bending no more than 90°, it is possible that no channel is formed in the interior of the hollow profile of the outer rail in which washing fluid and/or other dirt can accumulate.
- According to a further embodiment, the fastening and shielding section of the first inner rail is designed as an orifice-free piece of sheet metal for shielding the running rail section of the first inner rail arranged vertically above.
- In this way, injection of washing fluid by spray nozzles directed upwards below the pull-out guide may be prevented.
- According to a further embodiment, the second inner rail is fixed to the first outer rail, in particular welded, glued or screwed thereon, which makes possible simple assembly of the pull-out guide and a stable construction of the pull-out guide.
- The length of the inner rails, according to a further embodiment, is between 50% and 75% of the length of the outer rails. Such a ratio of the lengths of the inner rails to those of the outer rails is sufficient to ensure a full extension, while at the same time saving material on rail material.
- According to a further preferred embodiment, three rolling elements are arranged in the rolling element cage in a plane orthogonally to the displacement direction.
- In particular, the raceway section of the inner rails has at least three raceways, in each of which one of the rolling elements is guided, wherein the rolling elements are arranged in the plane orthogonally to the displacement direction in respective quadrants of the hollow space formed from inner rails and outer rails, wherein no rolling element is used in a bottom quadrant which is close to the side wall of the washing chamber.
- A pull-out guide designed in this manner has the advantage that fewer rolling elements may be used, which is accompanied by savings in material and costs.
- A washing appliance according to the disclosure, in particular a dishwasher with at least one rack which is fixed to side walls of a washing chamber with a pull-out guide and with which the rack can be extended from and retracted into the washing chamber, is characterized by a pull-out guide as described above.
- In an advantageous embodiment, at least two spacers or spacings are arranged on the respective side walls of the washing chamber of the washing appliance, on which the first inner rail is fixed.
- In an embodiment, a passage for the outflow of washing fluid into a lower region of the washing chamber is provided between the spacers or the spacings, the side wall and the first inner rail, which enables the discharge of a washing fluid sprayed above the pull-out guide in the direction of the side walls of the washing chamber behind the pull-out guides, as seen from the washing chamber centre.
