Description

The invention relates to a dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher, with a washing compartment for receiving items to be provided Spülbehälter, a collecting pot into which opens the washing, a circulating pump and a drain pump, which are each connected fluidically to the collecting pot, wherein the circulating pump under fluidic Interposition of a suction nozzle providing a pipe socket is connected to the collecting pot, as well as with a fresh water inlet. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for introducing fresh water into a dishwasher, in which the fresh water of the dishwasher is supplied from a fresh water discharge point.

Dishwashers of the type mentioned are well known from the prior art, which is why it does not require a separate documentary evidence at this point.

Previously known dishwashers have a washing container which provides a washing compartment. This is the user side accessible via a feed opening, which is fluid-tightly closed by means of a pivotally mounted washroom door. When used as intended, the washing container serves to receive items to be cleaned, which may be dishes, cutlery pieces and / or the like, for example.

For loading of items to be cleaned with rinsing liquid, the so-called. Rinse liquor, the dishwasher has a spray in the interior of the washing container. This spraying device typically provides rotatably mounted spray arms, wherein usually two or three such spray arms are provided. In the intended use case, a loading of the items to be cleaned with rinse liquor by means of rotating spray arms.

The dispensed by the spray in the operating case rinse liquor hits the items to be cleaned and then accumulates in a collecting pot, in the Flushing container opens. The collecting pot is connected to a circulating pump on the one hand and to a drain pump on the other hand. The circulating pump, which circulates the rinsing liquid conveyed into the dishwasher in the intended use case, serves to pressurize the spraying device with rinsing solution. With the completion of a wash program, the wash liquor is pumped out by means of the drain pump and discarded.

At the beginning of a washing program, the dishwasher is supplied with fresh water from a fresh water delivery point. The collecting pot of the dishwasher has for this purpose a fresh water inlet, which is fluidically connected to the fresh water discharge point, for example by means of a hose. Once the collecting pot is filled with sufficient fresh water for proper operation of the circulation pump, the circulation pump is put into operation, as a result of which the spray arms of the spraying device are charged with washing liquor.

Due to the design remains even after a proper pumping out of wash liquor by means of the drain pump to conclude a wash program a non-recoverable remainder of wash liquor in the pump housings of circulation pump and drain pump, in the collecting pot and in the lines to form technical connections between the collecting pot and the circulation pump on the one hand and the Collection pot and the drain pump on the other. If an intended washing program is then started by the introduction of fresh water, the fresh water is mixed with the residual rinse liquor still present in the dishwasher. This leads to an unwanted carryover of lye and / or chlorides in the newly started wash program. Disadvantageously, it can lead to corrosion, both on dishwashing components, such as the heater, the pump housings, the leads and / or the like, as well as on the items to be cleaned.

To counteract such leaching and / or chloride entrainment, it is from the EP 2 759 244 B1 It is known to introduce fresh water for flushing in particular of the circulating pump and the collection pot into the dishwasher after a washware cleaning has been completed as intended. This beats the EP 2 759 244 B1 to introduce fresh water directly into the circulation pump, namely when the circulating pump is switched off, that is to say without a pump. The pumped into the circulation pump fresh water flows through the circulation pump and passes from there over the corresponding connecting lines directly to the collecting pot. From here, a discharge can take place by switching on the drain pump. In this case, as a result of the fresh water discharge, the residual rinsing liquor in the dishwasher is not only merely mixed with the fresh water, but a substantial expulsion of the residual rinsing liquor by displacement occurs. It can be achieved with relatively little fresh water, a nearly complete disposal of Restspülflotte, so that in a subsequent washing program largely no lye and / or chloride residues are abducted.

Although the after the EP 2 759 244 B1 previously known construction has proven in everyday practical use, there is room for improvement, in particular with regard to a simplified construction of the dishwasher. Because according to the prior art construction, not only the collecting pot, but also the circulation pump is connected to the fresh water discharge point, which makes additional routes and valves required. This proves to be disadvantageous in production and assembly, in particular with regard to the associated costs.

It is therefore an object of the invention to develop a generic dishwasher to the effect that a flushing of the liquor and / or chloride range is possible with reduced machine-side structure.

To solve this problem, a dishwashing machine of the type mentioned is proposed with the invention, which is characterized in that the fresh water inlet suction mouth side of the circulating pump is formed.

Furthermore, it is proposed on the method side that the fresh water of a circulation pump of the dishwasher is placed on the suction mouth side and pumped from there by means of the circulation pump in a flow-connected to the circulation pump collecting pot, one of the collecting pot fluidly connected drain pump at least temporarily operated at the same time to the circulation pump and in Collecting pot accumulating mixed water is pumped out of fresh and residual water.

In contrast to the prior art, the fresh water inlet is formed on the suction side of the circulation pump. For this reason, a flushing of the caustic and / or chloride route using the circulation pump, that is, in departure from the prior art not pumpless.

The suction-side connection to the circulating pump is formed in the region of the suction mouth of the circulating pump, that is to say on the suction mouth side. According to the invention is therefore dispensed customary in generic dishwashers fresh water inlet in the non-pressurized area of the collecting pot. In this context, the "suction-mouth-side" design of the fresh-water inlet in the sense of the invention means that, in the normal operation, a fresh-water inlet is completely or almost completely directly into the circulation pump, i. without the incoming fresh water or at least the essential portion of the incoming fresh water previously reaches other areas of the collecting pot. A suction-suction-side design in this sense is present, in particular, when the fresh-water inlet is formed within the fluidic connection between the collecting pot and the circulating pump.

The embodiment of the invention allows a complete flushing of the liquor and / or chloride route, i. the circulating pump, the collecting pot and of the circulating pump via the collecting pot leading to the drain pump line path, so that there located residual fluids can be largely expelled, so that no unwanted leaching and / or Chloridverschleppung takes place in a subsequent washing program. In contrast to the prior art, the circulating pump is supplied with fresh water via the suction side, wherein a flushing does not take place without pumpling, but rather takes place during pump operation.

The embodiment of the invention is compared to the prior art construction according to the EP 2 759 244 B1 especially with regard to two aspects of advantage. On the one hand, the machine-side construction costs are reduced. It is only needed a fresh water inlet, which is formed according to the invention suction mouth side of the circulation pump. About this fresh water inlet is a supply of fresh water both in Spülprogrammfall and for the purpose of flushing by the method according to the invention instead. In this respect, no additional conduction paths including appropriate locking and / or actuators are needed. It is such an overall simplified design of the dishwasher achieves what the manufacturing simplified and reduced.

On the other hand, the flushing achieved with the method according to the invention is more effective in the result. Because the invention provided pump driven flushing requires that the suction mouth side introduced into the circulation pump fresh water is first pumped through one of the spray arms of the spray in the washroom, from where it flows into the washing, from which it can then be pumped. In accordance with the method implementation according to the invention, the paths to the spraying device, parts of the washing container and, in particular, the mouth region of the washing container are therefore also included in the collecting pot, which results in an improved overall cleaning result. It is in this context added that the collecting pot is in contrast to the embodiment according to the prior art is not applied via a lateral access with fresh water, but with the interposition of the washing container from above. This leads advantageously to the fact that due to the density differences between fresh water and residual water over the prior art increased displacement of residual water results from the introduced fresh water. This, too, contributes overall to an improved process result.

At the beginning of the process implementation according to the invention, a suction mouth-side loading of the circulation pump with fresh water from the fresh water discharge point takes place. Simultaneously with the Frischwasserbeaufschlagung or this time-delayed switching on the circulation pump. It is preferred to turn on the circulation pump before the fresh water inlet, in order to avoid that parts of the introduced fresh water can flow into the collecting pot when the circulating pump is switched off.

The introduced fresh water is sucked in when the circulating pump and spent on the pressure side of the circulation pump, where it passes into corresponding supply lines to the spray. In order to avoid that a wetting of dishwashing products located in the washing compartment takes place with fresh water, a feed of the lower spray arm of the spraying device with fresh water is preferred.

The spray of the spray, in particular the lower spray arm of the spraying abandoned fresh water accumulates on the bottom side of the washing and flows into the flow pot connected to the washing tank collecting pot. Here comes it for the displacement of the possibly still in the collecting pot residual water or to a mixing of the fresh water with the residual water. Preferably, before or at the latest when switching on the circulation pump and the drain pump is turned on, so that can take place with or at the latest with the promotion of the circulating pump of fresh water pumped into the collecting pot pumping out of the lye and / or chloride contaminated residual water.

For the fluidic connection of the circulation pump to the collecting pot a collecting pot side pipe socket is typically provided. This pipe socket provides the suction mouth for the circulation pump ready. According to a particular feature of the invention, it is now provided that the pipe socket connected in the fluidic connection between the circulation pump and collecting pot has the fresh water inlet. In this case, the fresh water inlet can be formed as formed on the pipe socket connection piece on which the line is attached to the fresh water supply. This type of structural design proves to be particularly easy to manufacture since the collecting pot together with the pipe socket and arranged thereon connecting piece can be designed as a one-piece injection-molded part.

It is provided according to a further feature of the invention, an opening into the collecting pot bypass line to the pipe socket. This bypass line is used to equalize the pressure during the intended implementation of a washing program.

At the beginning of a washing program, the dishwasher is supplied in a conventional manner via the fresh water inlet fresh water. As soon as the quantity of fresh water required for proper pumping operation has been introduced into the dishwasher, the circulating pump is put into operation, as a result of which a fresh water circulation within the dishwasher takes place as intended. During such a circulation operation, it comes on the suction side of the circulation pump to form a negative pressure. Since the fresh water inlet according to the invention is formed suction mouth side of the circulation pump, such a negative pressure training causes the circulation pump draws air from the fresh water supply line. This interferes with the proper operation of the circulation pump and should therefore be avoided. Therefore, according to the invention, a bypass line connected to the collecting pot is provided. In the vacuum case so is a suction of air from the fresh water supply line avoided.

In this context, according to a further feature of the invention, a fresh water line for connection to a fresh water discharge point is provided which is connected on the machine side to a first supply line and to a second supply line, wherein the first supply line opens into the fresh water inlet and the second supply line forms the bypass line. According to this embodiment of the invention, therefore, a dividing into two supply lines fresh water line is provided, wherein the one suction line suction port side connected to the circulation pump and the other supply line to the collecting pot. In the intended use case, a feed of the circulation pump with fresh water via the first supply line. When carrying out an intended washing program, a pressure equalization during a circulation operation of the circulation pump via the bypass line can be achieved.

The two supply lines are connected according to a further feature of the invention under fluidic interposition of a Y-piece or branch piece to the fresh water line. According to this embodiment, the second supply line, that is, the bypass line forms a kind of pipe bend in the manner of a siphon, whereby the desired functionality of the bypass line is ensured safe.

According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the fresh water inlet opens into a chamber provided by the collecting pot, which is formed fresh water inlet side of the pipe socket. According to this embodiment of the collecting pot fluidly connected to the circulation pump pipe socket is not equipped with a connection piece for the connection of the fresh water line, but it is rather provided provided by a collecting pot chamber which opens fluidly into the pipe socket. In accordance with the intended use case takes place according to this embodiment, a feed of the pipe socket with fresh water with the interposition of the collecting pot side chamber. As a result, this embodiment, a suction mouth side of the circulation pump provided fresh water inlet is given, which ensures that a fresh water inlet takes place directly in the circulation pump without the incoming fresh water flows into other areas of the collecting pot. The alternative chamber design has the advantage that it needs to reduce a negative pressure in the normal operation of the circulation pump no additional bypass line. Because the opening into the pipe socket chamber is Sammeltopfseitig at least partially open, so that in normal operation, a pressure compensation can take place.

The method side is further proposed that the circulating pump discontinued fresh water is fed to the collecting pot under fluidic interposition of a spray arm of the dishwasher. In this spray arm is preferably the lower spray arm, so that unwanted wetting of items located in the washing container with fresh water is avoided. The fluidic interposition of the spray arm provided according to the method implementation according to the invention has the advantage that, in contrast to the prior art, lye and / or chloride residues adhering to the collecting pot in the confluence area of the washing container can be removed.

The method side is further provided that the circulation pump is operated at an idle speed. It is, however, preferred to select the speed of the circulation pump as low as possible, for example, characterized in that the circulation pump is operated in the left-hand rotation and / or that the idle speed is selected as the speed. The operation of the circulation pump with the lowest possible speed provides the advantage that the circulating pump discontinued fresh water is promoted with the least possible pressure in the washing, which minimizes the risk that it comes to wetting the dishes located in the washing with fresh water.

With the device according to the invention or the method according to the invention an improved recycling of unwanted chloride and / or alkali residues is accomplished at the same time reduced device-side construction costs.

Fig. 1 can be seen in a purely schematic representation of a dishwasher 1 according to the invention.

The dishwasher 1 has a housing 2, which accommodates, inter alia, a washing container 3. The washing container 3 in turn provides a washing compartment 4, which serves in the intended use of the inclusion of items to be cleaned.

For loading of items to be cleaned with rinse liquor is a spray device 5, which is arranged within the washing container 3. Preferably, such a spraying device 5 has spray arms 6 and 7, which are each arranged rotatable within the washing container 3. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the spray device 5 has an upper spray arm 6 and a lower spray arm 7. Typically, a generic dishwasher has three spray arms, namely an upper and a lower spray arm and a central spray arm.

The rinsing container 3 is accessible to the user via a feed opening 8 which can be closed in a fluid-tight manner by means of a pivotally mounted dishwashing door 9.

The washing compartment 3 or the washing compartment 4 provided by the washing compartment 3 opens into a detail in FIG FIGS. 1 and 2 a collection pot 10 not shown. At this collecting pot 10, a circulating pump 11 and a drain pump 12 are respectively fluidically connected. For this purpose, a fluidic connection 15 and between the drain pump 12 and the collecting pot 10, a fluidic connection 13 are formed between the circulating pump 11 and the collecting pot 10.

The circulation pump 11 is fluidly connected via corresponding supply lines 16 and 17 to the spray arms 6 and 7 of the spraying device 5, the supply line 16 leading from the circulation pump 11 to a lower spray arm 7 and the supply line 17 from the circulation pump 11 to an upper spray arm 6. Of course, at least one further spraying element not shown here, in particular a middle spraying arm, may be present in a manner known per se, which may be connected to the circulating pump 11 via a separate supply line.

In the intended use case can take place by the circulation pump 11, a charge of rinsing liquid either with the supply line 16 leading to the lower spray arm 7 or the supply line 17 leading to the upper spray arm 6.

After completing a wash program, the spent wash liquor is pumped out by means of the drain pump 12, for which purpose the drain pump 12 is connected to a line 14, which typically opens into the public sewerage system and is discharged via the wash liquor consumed in correspondence with the arrow 18.

Fig. 2 lets recognize the further structure of the dishwasher 1 according to the invention. Thereafter, a fresh water delivery point 26 is provided, which may for example be an access to the public water network, even with the interposition of a machine-side water tank and / or the like. It is crucial that a supply of fresh water via the fresh water discharge point 26 takes place with the interposition of the fresh water line 21. In this case, a check valve 22 and a fresh water softening device 24 are further provided in the embodiment shown. In the intended use case, therefore fresh water flows from the fresh water discharge point 26 via the line 25 to Frischwasserenthärtungseinrichtung 24 and from there via the line 23 to the valve 22, which separates the line 23 from the fresh water line 21. In the intended use, the check valve 22 is opened so that about the above-described line fresh water can get into the fresh water line 21.

The fresh water line 21 is divided into a first feed line 28 and a second feed line, which constitutes a bypass line 27 described in more detail below. The first supply line 28 opens into the fluidic connection 15 between collecting pot 10 and circulating pump 11, that is, the fresh water inlet 20 is suction mouth side of the circulating pump 11 is formed. In normal operation, therefore, there is a direct admission of the circulating pump 11 with fresh water via the fresh water line 21 or the first supply line 28 connected to the fresh water line 21.

At the beginning of a washing program, the circulating pump 11 is supplied with fresh water via the supply line 28. Once sufficient fresh water has been supplied, the circulation pump 11 is put into operation and there is a circulation of the fresh water supplied, the circulation pump 11 via the supply line 17, in particular selectively or alternately, either the upper spray arm 6 or the supply line 16 the lower Sprüharm 7 supplied with fresh water. Preferably, as a further alternative, a third, in particular middle, spray arm, not shown, can additionally be supplied with fresh water via a further supply line. The guided in this way in the washing tank 3 fresh water is a Spülgutreinigung and collects as a rinsing liquor in the collection pot 10, from where the rinse liquor is then passed through the fluidic connection 15 again to the circulation pump 11 and is kept in circulation.

After expiration of a properly carried out rinsing program are in particular in the collecting pot 10 and in the housing of the circulating pump 11 lye and chloride residues, which must be removed in order to avoid carryover to a subsequent program step and / or a subsequent wash program. According to the invention it is therefore provided that a rinsing takes place, whereby the lye and / or chloride route is cleaned, that is, in particular the collecting pot 10 and the housing of the pumps 11 and 12 are freed of lye and / or chloride residues.

The flushing according to the invention provides that the dishwasher 1 in already fresh water from a fresh water discharge point 26 is supplied as described above. In this case, the fresh water of the circulation pump 11 is abandoned suction mouth side and pumped from there by means of the circulation pump 11 in the flow-technically connected to the circulation pump 11 collecting pot 10. The flow-connected to the collecting pot 10 drain pump 12 is operated at least temporarily at the same time to the circulation pump 11, so that in the collecting pot 10 accumulating mixed water is pumped out of fresh and residual water.

Such flushing is carried out with a fresh water amount of, for example, 150 ml. Such a small amount of water is already sufficient to liberate the alkali and / or chloride as far as possible from unwanted alkali and / or chloride residues. Alternatively, it can also be rinsed with more fresh water and / or the flushing step can be repeated several times, for example five times, which leads to a total fresh water consumption of 750 ml at 150 ml per flush.

One particular advantage of the process implementation according to the invention is, inter alia, that only a charge of the liquor and / or chloride route to be purified takes place. A Frischwasserbeaufschlagung of the washing compartment 3 and / or there possibly located dishes as this takes place in a conventional program sequence during the intermediate flushing, does not take place. This has the advantage that there is virtually no heat leakage from the dishwasher 1, so that less energy is needed to reheat rinse liquor in subsequent rinse program steps. The method according to the invention makes it possible to completely dispense with a conventional rinsing program step of intermediate rinsing, but nevertheless to ensure that undesired alkali and / or chloride residues are removed and are not carried off into a subsequent rinsing program step and / or a subsequent rinsing program.

The Figures 3 and 4 show in each case different perspective views of the collection pot 10 of the dishwasher 1 according to the invention according to a first embodiment.

The collection pot 10 provides a pipe socket 29. At this pipe socket 29, the circulation pump 11 is connected to the suction side. The pipe socket 29 is therefore part of fluidic connection 15 between collecting pot 10 and circulating pump 11th

The pipe socket 29 is equipped with a connecting piece 34. At these, the first supply line 28 is connected, in which the fresh water line 21 opens. In normal operation, the circulation pump 11 can be given fresh water mouth side fresh water by fresh water via the lines 21 and 28 and the connecting piece 34 in the serving as a suction port 30 pipe socket 29 passes.

The collecting pot 10 is equipped with a further connecting piece 33. At this connection piece 33 serving as a second connecting line bypass line 27 is connected, in which also the fresh water line 21 opens. Here, the fresh water line 21, the first supply line 28 and the bypass line 27 via a common Y-piece or branch piece 35 are fluidly coupled together.

In the circulation operation of a purposely operated wash program, a negative pressure is created in the pipe socket 29. This leads to an intake of standing in the fresh water line 21 air, which interferes with the proper operation of the circulation pump 11. To avoid this, the bypass line 27 is provided, via which a pressure equalization take place or in the collecting pot 10 befindliches rinse water can be sucked.

The collecting pot 10 furthermore has a connection stub 31 opening into a pipe stub, to which the supply line 16 to the lower spraying arm 7 is connected. Another connection piece 32 serves for the fluidic connection of the collecting pot 10 to drain pump 12.

Another embodiment of the collecting pot 10 let the FIGS. 5 to 7 recognize in different views. According to this embodiment, a connecting piece 34 is provided for connecting the fresh water line 21, which opens into a collecting pot side chamber 36. The chamber 36 in turn is in fluid communication with the pipe socket 29, as shown in particular the illustration Fig. 6 lets recognize. Sammeltopfseitig the chamber 36 is formed closed by a cover 37. How this particular the Fig. 5 reveals the chamber 36 opens into the pipe socket 29 and thus the suction mouth side of the

Circulation pump 11 a.

The advantage of the second embodiment according to the FIGS. 5 to 7 in particular lies in the fact that due to the chamber design can be dispensed with a bypass line 27.
