  • the present invention relates to a household dishwasher.
  • a dishwasher comprises a washing container in which items to be cleaned can be accommodated.
  • a rotating spray arm can be provided within the washing container to apply washing solution and/or fresh water to the items to be washed.
  • This spray arm can be driven either by the pressure of washing solution and/or fresh water emerging from the spray nozzles of the spray arm or by an active drive, in particular by an electric motor. If the spray arm is actively driven, it is necessary to detect an angular position of the spray arm when dismantling and in particular when assembling the spray arm.
  • sensors can be provided on the spray arm which allow the angular position of the same to be determined.
  • CN104523208A describes a spray arm assembly having a spray arm, the spray arm assembly being provided with a water chamber and the spray arm being convexly formed with a first connecting pipe, a first connecting pipe being arranged on the spray arm assembly and communicating with the water chamber, and further comprising a motor and a transmission structure, the motor being mounted on the spray arm assembly and the transmission structure being driven and connected between the first connecting pipe and the motor.
  • the EP 2 606 805 A1 shows a dishwasher with a rotatable spray arm and a guide device for the spray arm, which is arranged and designed in such a way that the spray arm additionally executes a movement in the longitudinal direction of the spray arm during a rotating movement of the spray arm.
  • the US 2015/0352472 A1 describes a liquid filtration system comprising a sump screen, a filter and a cover.
  • the sump screen is attached to a sump bottom wall and includes a plate and a filter opening edge mounted through the plate.
  • the WO 2013/132459 A1 shows a device for moving at least one rotating spray arm for washing or drying dishes, wherein the spray arm can rotate about a first axis.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide an improved household dishwasher.
  • a household dishwasher is proposed with a washing container, a spray arm for applying washing liquor and/or fresh water to items to be washed in the washing container, a drive device for actively driving the spray arm and a pump pot on which the spray arm is mounted so that it can rotate about an axis of rotation.
  • the spray arm comprises a rib geometry which runs around the axis of rotation and has a coding groove running along the axis of rotation, the pump pot comprising a coding rib which corresponds to the coding groove and runs along the axis of rotation and which can be guided through the coding groove along the axis of rotation when the spray arm is mounted and dismounted, so that the spray arm can be mounted on and dismounted from the pump pot in exactly one angular position.
  • the pump pot comprises a tubular pump pot dome on which the spray arm is mounted so that it can rotate about its axis of rotation, the coding rib being provided on the inside of the pump pot dome.
  • the spray arm can be mounted on and removed from the pump housing in exactly one angular position, incorrect installation by the user is reliably ruled out.

  • rinsing water can mean water mixed with a cleaning agent.
  • the rinsing water can include dirt that has been detached from the items to be washed.
  • the fact that the spray arm is "actively” driven means that the drive device applies a torque to the spray arm. “Active” driving therefore does not mean that the spray arm is set in rotation using spray nozzles.
  • the drive device comprises a drive element, in particular an electric motor.
  • the rib geometry "circulates" around the axis of rotation is to be understood in particular as meaning that the rib geometry has a disk-like shape that is rotationally symmetrical to the axis of rotation. However, this does not exclude the possibility that the rib geometry is interrupted. In particular, the rib geometry is interrupted by the coding groove along the axis of rotation.
  • the fact that the coding rib "corresponds" to the coding groove is to be understood in this case in particular as meaning that the coding rib can be guided through the coding groove along the axis of rotation.

  • the axis of rotation of the spray arm and the axis of rotation of the drive shaft are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart from each other.
  • the fact that the rotation axis of the spray arm and the rotation axis of the drive shaft are arranged "spaced apart” is to be understood in particular to mean that the two rotation axes are arranged a distance apart from each other. This means that the rotation axis of the drive shaft and the rotation axis of the spray arm do not coincide with each other.
  • the rotation axis of the spray arm is in particular the rotation axis of the aforementioned boom.
  • the household dishwasher further comprises a gear which bridges a distance between the axis of rotation of the spray arm and the axis of rotation of the drive shaft.

  • the spray arm 16 can only be pulled out of the pump pot dome 31 in a withdrawal direction AR along the rotation axis 26 if, as shown in the Fig.3 shown, the coding rib 33 is positioned exactly above the coding groove 28 when viewed along the axis of rotation 26.
  • the angular position of the drive shaft 36 of the drive element 35 can be detected with the aid of the sensor device 38. This means that the position of the interlocking gears 43 to 45 is also known.
  • the spray arm 16 can only be reassembled if the coding groove 28 is located exactly above the coding rib 33. Only then can the spray arm 16 be pushed or inserted into the pump pot dome 31 in an insertion direction ER such that the spray arm teeth 22 engage positively in the third gear 45.
  • the spray arm 16 can always be positioned at 6 o'clock for assembly and disassembly purposes. It is thus possible to determine the angle and control the position of the spray arm 16 via the sensor device 38 of the drive element 35.
