Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher, according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Such a dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher, with a cutlery basket is in the document WO 03/055375 A1 disclosed.
  • the cutlery basket is designed to hold cutlery essentially horizontally for use in a dishwasher with a base area for supporting the cutlery parts.
  • At least one swivel joint is arranged and designed in the floor area such that at least a partial area of the floor area can be swiveled relative to a horizontally oriented remaining area of the floor area.
  • at least a part of the bottom area of the cutlery basket can be at least lowerable compared to the horizontally oriented remaining area of the bottom area.
  • the level of the lowered portion of the bottom area of the cutlery basket can meet the horizontally oriented level of the remaining area of the bottom area of the cutlery basket at an angle between 180 and 270 °.
  • the publication also discloses DE 10 2004 057 018 A1 a washware carrier for a dishwasher, which comprises a first receiving area designed as a cutlery receptacle, on which cutlery parts can be placed, and a second receiving area for washware with at least one washware holder.
  • the at least one washware holder has a support surface for the washware that is inclined or inclinable with respect to the horizontal, and the first receiving area and the second receiving area lie essentially in a horizontal plane.
  • a dishwasher in particular a domestic dishwasher, with a cutlery basket is also in the publication EP 0 186 157 B1 disclosed.
  • the cutlery basket disclosed there is designed as a drawer and offers the possibility of accommodating conventional cutlery such as knives, spoons, forks and so on and storing them in a position which is favorable for the effectiveness of the washing program.
  • the height of the cutlery drawer has been selected so that spoons with a large spoon of standard cutlery can be stored in them without any problems.
  • Cutlery items that have a larger dimension such as serving cutlery, trowels and so on, cannot be inserted into the cutlery tray because the dimensions of the cutlery items do not allow the cutlery tray to be pushed into the dishwasher. These items of cutlery either have to be washed manually or have to be inserted into the crockery baskets in such a way that the washing liquid can also run off reliably.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a cutlery basket for lying flatware for use in a dishwasher, in particular a household dishwasher, which, with optimal use of space in the washing container, can accommodate cutlery items with larger dimensions for washing and at the same time good cleaning and has drying result.
  • the cutlery basket of a dishwasher according to the invention in particular a domestic dishwasher, is characterized in that the planes of the first section of the cutlery basket and the second section of the cutlery basket are arranged at an obtuse angle to one another, which ensure optimized use of space.
  • large pieces of cutlery or even smaller pieces of crockery, such as cups can be accommodated in the area of the adjoining first partial area and second partial area.
  • cutlery parts such as spoons, ladles or serving cutlery
  • the sorting of cutlery parts is preferably carried out in such a way that their stems are oriented from the tapered areas towards the expanded areas.
  • the bowls, tines and so on come to rest in the extended areas.
  • the space gained underneath the tapered sections benefits the crockery basket underneath.
  • the arrangement according to the invention of the two levels of the first section of the cutlery basket and the second section of the cutlery basket at an obtuse angle to one another means that the bottom area extends from a (in the installed position) horizontal plane that extends between a first and a second side edge of the bottom area. is designed differently. It can be provided that the floor area runs completely obliquely. This ensures that larger items of cutlery can be picked up while maximizing space utilization. Due to the "inclined" storage of the cutlery parts, the water drainage from the cutlery parts is improved during the drying process, which means that a lower energy requirement is required for drying compared to cutlery baskets, in which the cutlery parts are stored essentially horizontally. As a side effect, there is an increased dimensional stability of the cutlery basket.
  • the cutlery basket has continuously changing clear heights, so that the inclined planes of the first section of the cutlery basket and the second section of the cutlery basket are formed.
  • the cutlery basket is arranged above an upper crockery basket in the dishwashing container of the dishwasher. It is further provided that the crockery basket has different clear heights in relation to the cutlery basket at least in sections, so that at the same time the use of space in relation to the crockery basket is also optimized.
  • the cutlery basket with its upper cutlery edge directly borders a container roof of a washing container of the dishwasher.
  • the cutlery basket is assigned its own spraying device for loading the cutlery parts with washing liquor. This is expediently arranged above the cutlery basket in order to achieve an efficient loading of the cutlery parts with washing liquor.
  • the bottom region of the cutlery basket is designed as a coarse-mesh grid with bars, at least some of the bars being arranged at an, in particular acute, angle with respect to the vertical.
  • the inclination of at least some of the bars enables water to pass through a spray arm arranged below the cutlery basket. Furthermore, the stability of the cutlery basket is increased.
  • the cutlery basket can be designed as a flat insert with or without wheels and consist of a frame and one or more basket inserts that can be removed from the frame, preferably in the form of coarse-mesh sieve inserts.
  • the cutlery basket is preferably designed as a cutlery drawer.
  • a dishwasher according to the invention comprises a cutlery basket as described above.
  • the cutlery basket is preferably mounted and guided above a, preferably upper, crockery basket in a washing compartment of the dishwasher, in a drawer-like manner.
  • FIG. 1 shows a front view in a dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher, with a cutlery basket according to the invention.
  • the arrangement shows a front-loading dishwasher 1, in particular a domestic dishwasher, which has a lower dish rack 3, an upper dish rack 4 and spray arms 5 and 6 assigned to these dish baskets 3 and 4 in a known manner in a washing container 2.
  • a cutlery basket 7 according to the invention is arranged above the upper crockery basket 4 and has a base region consisting of a first partial region 11 and a second partial region 12. The first partial region 11 and the second partial region 12 of the base region of the cutlery basket 7 adjoin one another at an obtuse angle.
  • a connecting edge 13 is formed approximately in the middle between a first side edge 8 and a second side edge 9, which is located below a horizontal plane 10, in which the first side edge 8 and the second side edge 9 of the bottom area of the cutlery basket 7 running parallel thereto are arranged.
  • the result is an arrow-shaped shape of the cutlery basket 7 with a clear height that changes continuously in sections.
  • the cutlery basket is tapered from the center outwards in the direction of the first side edge and the second side edge.
  • the cutlery basket 7 is designed to hold cutlery items lying down, a cutlery item 18 in the form of a spoon or ladle being shown as an example in a preferred arrangement. Because of the arrow-shaped shape of the cutlery basket 7 and the placement of the spoon in the direction of the lowered center, the spoon does not protrude beyond the upper cutlery basket rim 14. Due to the shape tapering outwards from the connecting edge 13 (in the direction of the two side edges 8, 9), a larger amount of space is available for the crockery basket 4 arranged below the cutlery basket 7 due to the increased clear height.
  • crockery items 17, in the form of a plate and a tall glass are drawn into the crockery basket, which take advantage of the additional space. Furthermore, since no cutlery parts protrude above the upper cutlery rim 14, the cutlery basket 7 can be stored directly adjacent to a container roof 15 of the dishwasher 1, provided that no spray arm 16 is provided.
  • an optional spray arm 16 is assigned to the cutlery basket 7, which acts on the cutlery parts lying in the cutlery basket 7 from above with washing liquor. Since a protrusion of cutlery parts over the upper cutlery basket rim 14 of the cutlery basket 7 is avoided, the optional spray arm 16 can rotate freely to apply the washing liquor to the cutlery parts / dishes in the cutlery basket 7.
  • the bottom area which is essentially completely oblique with respect to a horizontal plane, has the advantage that wash liquor from the obliquely mounted cutlery parts improves can drain off. This results in an improved drying result or a lower energy requirement for drying the cutlery items.
  • the arrow-shaped shape of the cutlery basket 7 also increases the dimensional stability of the cutlery basket. Due to the elimination of the otherwise necessary stiffeners, there is a reduction in production costs.
  • the cutlery basket 7 can be formed in the bottom area as a coarse-mesh grid with bars, plastic being used as the material for the cutlery basket 7. It is also conceivable to manufacture the cutlery basket 7 from metal. At least some of the bars can be arranged at an, in particular acute, angle with respect to the vertical, which facilitates the passage of water, provided that the cutlery basket 7 is not assigned a separate spray arm.
  • the cutlery basket 7 can be designed as a flat insert, which is mounted like a drawer and can be pulled out of the washing compartment 2 of the dishwasher 1.
  • the cutlery basket 7 can consist of a frame (not shown) and one or more basket inserts that can be removed from the frame.
  • the present invention provides a dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher, which allows maximum use of space for the cutlery basket and a crockery basket arranged underneath.
  • the cutlery basket can also accommodate cutlery items with larger dimensions for washing, the drainage of the washing liquor being improved due to inclined items of cutlery and thus providing an improved drying result.
