Definitions

  • the invention relates to a water-bearing household appliance, in particular a dishwasher or washing machine according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Water-carrying household appliances such as dishwashers
  • a pipeline system that allows washing liquor to be conveyed out of the water-carrying household appliance into a domestic wastewater disposal system after a cleaning process has ended.
  • a drain pump is provided in dishwashers, which for this purpose is connected to a line system of the water-carrying household appliance.
  • a drain pump for a dishwasher which additionally has a valve function, which allows undesired flow processes in the pipe system of the dishwasher, for example an empty suction of the household appliance by currents in the house-side sewage disposal system.
  • the impeller in the pump is at the same time designed as a valve body and arranged coaxially displaceably along an axis on which the valve body is arranged, the axis being operatively connected to a motor for driving the pump.
  • Spring means or alternatively electromagnets can be used as actuators for the axial displacement of the valve body between an open and a closed position.
  • the device according to the EP 17 67 788 A1 however, has a complicated structure.
  • the dishwasher of the GB 876 839 A has a circulation pump with the additional function as a shredder.
  • Your "impeller” 152 is coupled to a "hollow spray tube” 30 which is driven in rotation by a motor 42 and through the openings 32 of which spray liquid is sprayed in the washing container (see page 1, column 2, lines 82-90 and FIGS. 1, 9 and 11).
  • the "valve assembly” 174 occupies a lower position and closes the "drain conduit opening" 180 of a sewage pipe “drain conduit” 168. If the "valve assembly” 174 is brought into an upper position, then a drain conduit opening 180 of the waste water line 168 (see FIG. 11) is opened so that the dirty washing water can run out of the washing container at the end of a partial washing cycle.
  • the invention is based on a water-conducting household appliance, water-conducting household appliance, in particular dishwasher or washing machine, at least comprising a pump which is connected to a line system of the water-conducting household appliance and is connected to a motor, and with a valve with an axially movable valve body, which is arranged on the pump impeller of the pump.
  • the pump with a valve can be a drain pump, which is used at the end of a rinsing process to wash the dirty washing liquor, which can also be contaminated with dirt particles, from a treatment room, such as a dishwasher rinse tank, to a sewage disposal system on site promote.
  • the valve body can be moved independently of the impeller between a first position in which the valve is open and a second position in which the valve is closed, i.e. the pump wheel and the valve body are two components.
  • the pump integrally with a valve ie the pump impeller of the pump also forms a valve body for blocking a passage of the pump, this component being able to be moved axially, in particular axially, along a motor axis to drive the pump, and so on to open or close the valve.
  • the object of the invention is achieved in that the motor can be operated in two directions of rotation and the valve opens or closes depending on the direction of rotation of the motor. Controlled opening and closing of the valve and thus blocking the passage of the pump can thus be achieved in a simple manner. Furthermore, no venting of the pump serving as a drain pump is necessary in the case of a dishwasher.
  • the motor is in operative connection with the valve, so that it is ensured that the valve is opened or closed solely by the arbitrary direction of rotation of the motor and is not influenced in an undesired manner by flow conditions in the line system of the water-carrying household appliance.
  • the valve has a valve body which can be moved between an open and closed position, a passage being opened from an inlet to an outlet of the pump in the open position and the pump being able to convey rinsing liquor and this passage being closed in the closed position, so that at flow-related negative pressure conditions, no flow can occur in the pipe system of the water-carrying household appliance.
  • the valve body can assume any positions between the open and the closed position, so as to enable quantity regulation, for example.
  • valve body can be moved axially along a shaft connecting the motor and the pump. This allows a particularly simple construction with a direct connection between the motor and the pump.
  • a gear is preferably provided between the motor and the valve.
  • the gearbox converts a rotary movement of the shaft into a linear movement that is coaxial to the shaft.
  • the transmission preferably has a threaded spindle which is designed such that the valve body is moved from an open to the closed position depending on a direction of rotation and is moved from the closed to the open position when the direction of rotation of the motor is reversed.
  • any electric motor common in water-bearing household appliances can be used as the motor.
  • brushless direct current or alternating current motors with permanent magnets such as BLDC or BLAC motors
  • Brushless DC or AC motors can allow a sensorless detection of the speed of the motor and thus a blocking of the drive, so that without additional sensors Detection of a blocking of the drive can be detected, in particular also if the valve is moved from the open to the closed position or vice versa due to a change in direction of rotation and the further movement is limited by a stop.
  • BLCD and BLAC motors also allow a quick change of direction of rotation and thus use of the inertia of the impeller of the pump to effect a change of position without the need for further mechanical aids.
  • the motor with a control of the water-carrying household appliance is preferably in accordance with the invention in such a way that a closed valve is detected and, accordingly, the motor is no longer activated. Furthermore, it can easily be provided to react to the fault that there is no blocking when changing the direction of rotation, e.g. by refilling a certain amount of fresh water with simultaneous pumping.
  • a drain line is arranged below the bottom of the washing container, i.e. that the water-carrying household appliance does not have a drain guide and drain ventilation forming a siphon, which form a backstop.
  • the water-carrying household appliance has a simplified structure, and the space gained can be used, for example, to improve the insulation or to arrange intermediate stores for the washing liquor.
  • the pump can be dimensioned smaller in terms of its performance, which provides energy savings and additional installation space.
  • a seal which interacts with the valve body is arranged on a cover of the pump, so that there is a particularly simple construction which also facilitates the carrying out of maintenance or repair work.
  • the pump wheel of the pump is arranged to be axially movable together with the valve body of the valve, ie the pump wheel and valve body are one component and can be moved between a first position in which the valve is open and a second position in which the valve is closed is.
  • the invention also includes a pump according to the invention for a household appliance according to the invention.
  • the pump 2 serving as a drain pump for a dishwasher has a passage 24 with a pump chamber 22, the passage 24 having an inlet connection (not shown) and an outlet connection (not shown) to a line system (not shown) of a dishwasher are connected.
  • An impeller 14 is rotatably arranged on a shaft 6 in the pump chamber 22.
  • the shaft 6 establishes a connection to a motor 18, such as a BLDC or BLAC motor, which is connected to a controller (not shown) of a water-bearing household appliance for actuation.
  • a motor 18 such as a BLDC or BLAC motor
  • the impeller 14 has a valve body 20 which, in the closed position (not shown), bears against the seal 10 arranged on the inside of the pump chamber 22 and thus securely closes the passage of the pump.
  • a further seal 12 is also provided on the pump cover 16 for sealing.
  • valve body 20 and the seal 10 form the valve 4.
  • the valve body 20 is firmly connected to the impeller 14 and in particular is formed in one piece, for example from plastic.
  • the impeller 14 also has a thread 8 having a spindle gear, which is in engagement with the shaft 6 and allows, depending on the direction of rotation of the shaft 6, the impeller 14 with the valve body 20 to be moved from the open to the closed position or vice versa .
  • the spindle gear (not shown) converts the Gear 8, the rotary movement of the shaft 6 in a coaxial to the shaft 6, linear, rotational direction-dependent back and forth movement of the valve body 20.
  • valve 4 is opened by actuating the motor 18, whereupon the transmission 8 converts the rotary movement of the shaft 6 into a linear displacement of the valve body 20 from the closed position to the position shown in FIG Fig. 1 shown open position takes place.
  • a stop (not shown) stops this movement.
  • the control of the dishwasher detects that this movement is blocked by the stop and then ends this process.
  • liquid can be conveyed by driving the impeller 4.
  • the motor 18 is driven in the opposite direction, so that the valve body 20 is moved from the open to the closed position until this movement is again limited by a stop and is detected by the control.
