Definitions

  • This invention relates to a heating element for household electrical appliances.
  • a further drawback of known methods is the need in such household electrical appliances to use safety and operational thermostats which have necessarily to be installed in the bottom of the appliance and inevitably require this to be drilled.
  • Another drawback is that if the minimum water quantity to be heated, and already representing energy wastage, corresponds to that required for operating the household electrical appliance at full load, it is certainly excessive for reduced loads, at which it also represents excessive detergent and electricity consumption.
  • DE-A1-2.913.988 discloses a porcupine wire coil of an electric resistance which is positioned in a tube having an electrically insulating inside in which the peaks of the coil convolutions are embedded so as to hold the coil convolutions spaced from each other. This device is particularly used to bring air or liquid flows a high rate and temperature.
  • US-A-786.257 discloses an electric heater consisting of a conductor wound around a core to which a plastics refractory material is applied to form a tubular sheat. This device is employed in electric lamps of the Nernst type.
  • DE-A1-3.531.424 describes a heater element for heating liquids comprising a canalization in which a coil heater is disposed. This device can be used in the wash circuit of household electrical appliances.
  • a water heating element is used in the wash circuit of a household electrical appliance as described in claim 1.
  • the element according to the invention consists essentially of a plastics tube 1 in which an armoured resistance element 2 disposed in a coil arrangement is embedded.
  • the plastics material is preferably formed by nylon, resistant at least at 250 C.
  • the thickness of the plastics tube 1, the diameter of the armoured resistance 2 and their mutual position are chosen so that the resistance element 2 protrudes from the inner surface of the tube 1 but not from the external one, as it clearly results in figure 2.
  • thermostat 3 Also embedded in the thickness of the tube 1 there is a safety thermostat 3 which is electrically connected into the power supply circuit of the resistance element 2. Further operational thermostats 4 and 5 can also be embedded in the tube 1, as clarified hereinafter.
  • the described heating element is connected into the spray circuit of a household electrical appliance such as a dishwasher.
  • a pump 7 which has its delivery side connected to the two rotary sprinklers 8 provided in the dishwasher wash compartment, and its suction side connected to the bottom of the wash compartment.
  • the operation of the element according to the invention is as follows: during filling, a valve 9 is opened to allow water feed from the outside. After filling, the valve 9 is closed and the pump 7 and resistance element 2 of the device 6 are powered. As the water circulated by the pump 7 passes through the tube 1, it is gradually heated and emerges from the rotary sprinklers 8 at a temperature which increases until the predetermined temperature for the particular chosen wash cycle is reached. Depending on the particular stage in the wash cycle, the water can be circulated either alone or together with detergent fed simultaneously with it or separately. In any case the water always ensures that the resistance element 2 is kept at an enough low temperature value so not to cause the melting of the plastics tube.
  • the safety thermostat 3 is provided, which is adjusted at a temperature value higher than that most admissible for the water to be heated, but much lower than the temperature value which could cause the damaging of the plastics tube 1.
  • the tube 1 is kept horizontally, with the safety thermostat 3 placed in the higher side of this. In such a way the heating device always operatese in safety condition, since the side of the tube 1 in which the thermostat 3 is embedded is certainly the more stressed in the case of lack of water.
  • thermostats 4 and 5 which have the function of interrupting the feed of the electrical resistance, but have operating values corresponding to the operating temperatures for different wash cycles foreseen for the machine.
  • the heating element according to the invention has numerous advantages over conventional heating elements, and in particular, compared with a resistance element immersed in the water lying in the bottom of the appliance:
