Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher, and a rinse item receiving portion for the dishwasher. Background Art

[0002] It is known to obtain dishwashers with additional rinse zones, for example intensive rinse zones.

[0003] For example, US 9 596 976 B2 describes a dishwasher comprising: a tank defining a rinsing chamber; an insert device, the insert device being arranged in the rinsing chamber of the tank; a first spray device, the first spray device being arranged next to the insert device, so that the first spray device is positioned to direct a first flow of rinsing liquid to the insert device; a second spray device, the second spray device being arranged next to the insert device, the second spray device being positioned to direct a second flow of rinsing liquid to the insert device; a delivery line; a manually-operated valve, the manually-operated valve being coupled to the delivery line, so that the manually-operated valve selectively enables: the rinsing liquid to flow from the delivery line to the second spray device, wherein the manually-operated valve is positioned on the insert device.

[0004] For example, US 2009 / 0 159 103 A1 describes an automatic dishwasher having: a housing defining a rinsing chamber; at least one spray nozzle, which is arranged in the rinsing chamber to spray liquid in the chamber; a valve, which can be selectively operated to fluidly couple the at least one spray nozzle with a liquid delivery member; and a rotating spray arm, which is positioned in the rinsing chamber to spray liquid in the chamber and is operatively coupled to the valve so that rotation of the spray arm selectively operates the valve to couple the at least one spray nozzle with the liquid delivery member.

[0005] EP 1 708 608 B1 describes a dish basket for a dishwasher, which has a supply pipe for a spray arm, which is rotatably mounted below the basket, wherein a branching piece for a power rinse zone arranged in the area of ​​the dish basket is arranged in the area of ​​the supply pipe, the power rinse zone being formed by a strip-shaped line element, which is provided with outlet nozzles, and wherein the line element is fixed to the basket strip, wherein the line element is connected to the branching piece via a T-piece, wherein the line element and / or cooperates with an actuator so that the power rinse zone can be switched on or off as required.

[0006] DE 10 2018 206 447 A1 discloses a rinse item receptacle for a domestic dishwasher, in particular a dish basket, the rinse item receptacle having a grid-shaped bottom, a power rinse zone arranged at the rinse item receptacle, and a manually operable switching valve, which is designed to selectively place the power rinse zone from an inactive state to an active state, and vice versa, wherein the switching valve can be operated through the bottom.

[0007] DE 199 60 311 A1 describes a device for adding detergent, in particular for a dishwasher, comprising: at least one adding device for liquid additives and at least one adding device for powder additives, each adding device having a storage chamber, wherein a valve body for closing and opening an output opening of the adding device for liquid additives can be arranged in the adding device for liquid additives, the valve body having a permanent magnet, wherein the valve body is moved independently of the control of the adding device for powder detergent by means of a magnetically active body arranged in a space closed relative to the adding device by means of magnetic attraction and magnetic repulsion, the magnetically active body having another permanent magnet.

[0008] Modern dishwashers have an expected long service life. However, the user's living environment may change, or the user's personnel may change, such as the tenants of an apartment may change. Summary of the invention

[0009] Against this background, the object of the present invention is to provide a dishwasher and such a rinse goods holder which can be adapted to the needs of a user.

[0010] Therefore, a dishwasher is proposed, in particular a domestic dishwasher and / or an industrial dishwasher. The proposed dishwasher has a rinsing container, at least one circulation pump, at least one circulation line, at least one branch and at least one nozzle. The rinsing container is designed to accommodate rinsed items. The circulation pump is intended to convey rinsing liquid to a spray device. The branch is arranged in the circulation line. The nozzle is part of the circulation line. The nozzle opens into the rinsing container. The nozzle is connected downstream of the branch. The nozzle is intended to be connected to at least one spray device. The nozzle is closed by a removable closure.

[0011] Since the closure is removable, an extension can be connected to the spout, ie for example a spray device and / or a power rinse device is connected to the spout. Thus, the dishwasher can be expanded by the connection capability to the spout.

[0012] Preferably, the mouth is closed in a way that the rinse liquid is sealed. Therefore, the closure at least prevents the rinse liquid from flowing out excessively through the mouth. Therefore, the dishwasher can be effectively operated.

[0013] If the circulation line and the closure have the same expansion behavior, leaks due to different expansion behaviors can be avoided, for example, in the operating area of ​​the dishwasher. For example, the same expansion behavior can exist in the range between 0° C. and 90° C., preferably in the range between 15° C. and 70° C. “The same” with regard to the expansion behavior can mean a deviation of at most 8%, more preferably at most 5% and even more preferably at most 3%. Preferably, the expansion behavior can be evaluated by means of a material constant.

[0014] Preferably, the closure surrounds the mouth. Dishwashers often experience periodic vibrations during operation. Due to such vibrations, the surrounding acts to resist the gradual loosening of the closure.

[0015] At least one protrusion protruding from the circulation line is provided. The protrusion can protrude inwardly from the inner side of the circulation line into the circulation line, for example to act as a throttle valve and / or a screen. Preferably, the protrusion protrudes radially outwardly to achieve low-resistance flow.

[0016] As an improvement, provision can be made that the closure element forms a positive connection with the projection, which results in a secure fit of the closure element during operation.

[0017] For example, the closure can form a positive connection with the projection along the circulation line to prevent the closure from being accidentally released.

[0018] Preferably, closure and projection form positive connection in circumferential direction, to prevent closure from twisting. According to specific design, twisting can for example make unintentional loosening easier and / or make it impossible to reach or difficult to reach a pull rod or lever for loosening closure.

[0019] Alternatively, a hybrid form of positive connection can be provided along the circulation line and in the circumferential direction, for example in order to combine the function for preventing twisting with a locking device against unintentional release.

[0020] According to an embodiment, the closure can have a first locking contour and the circulation line can have a second locking contour.The first locking contour and the second locking contour are preferably each arranged so as to cooperatively form a resistance to loosening of the closure in a positively connected manner in the closed position.

[0021] In the closed position, the closure closes the spout. The term "in the closed position" can preferably mean "the closure is in a certain position or in the position which closes the spout".

[0022] For example, the first locking contour can be a hook, and the second locking contour can be a tab in or at the circulation line. Thus, the closure can be hooked into or at the circulation line.

[0023] It can be provided as an improvement that the first locking contour and the second locking contour are complementary to each other. This improves the locking effect. For example, the locking contours can have surfaces that abut against each other.

[0024] If the second locking contour is a hook protruding from the circulation line and the first locking contour is a tab at the closure, the closure can be easily disassembled.

[0025] For reasons of operational safety, it is preferred that the first locking contour engages behind the second locking contour in a positively connected manner. Particularly preferably, the rear engagement enables the closure to be released only when at least one of the two locking contours is at least elastically and in particular elastically-plastically deformed.

[0026] Preferably, the closure has a lever designed to release the locking engagement. By means of the lever, the locking force can be increased without increasing the release force. The locking force is a measure of the security of the closure against unintentional release. The release force is a measure of the expenditure for intentional release of the closure.

[0027] The locking engagement is, for example, an established locking operative connection of two locking contours.

[0028] Preferably, the lever is connected to one of the two locking contours in a flexurally rigid manner, and particularly preferably to the first locking contour at the closure in a flexurally rigid manner. In this context, "flexurally rigid" can mean that the connection and structure of the lever is more rigid than the connection of the locking contour to the closure or the circulation line and / or is more rigid than the structure of the locking contour.

[0029] According to a preferred embodiment, the lever is dimensioned to release the locking engagement in a tool-free manner. For example, the lever is at least large enough and / or forms a large clearance with respect to the circulation line and / or the closure and / or other parts of the dishwasher, so that a user can operate the lever with at least one finger. Furthermore, the resistance of the lever to release is preferably dimensioned in absolute terms by material selection and / or shaping so that it can be operated with at least one finger for release.

[0030] According to a preferred embodiment, the lever is dimensioned to release the locking engagement in a tool-assisted manner. The lever is dimensioned, designed and / or arranged in a biased manner for releasing the locking engagement by means of a simple tool, such as a screwdriver, by means of finger force and / or hand force.

[0031] According to a preferred embodiment, the lever is dimensioned for both tool-free and tool-assisted loosening. This allows the user to choose according to his or her preferences. For example, the lever is designed to be large enough for the size of a finger and strong and rigid enough for a screwdriver.

[0032] According to a preferred embodiment, the closure is designed as a lid covering the mouth. This design can be manufactured cheaply.

[0033] According to an embodiment, the closure has a plug section. The plug section is dimensioned and / or arranged at the closure so as to engage into the circulation line in the closed position of the closure. As a result, the dead volume in the dishwasher can be reduced to meet hygiene requirements.

[0034] If the plug section and the circulation line form an interference fit and / or a transition fit, a sealing effect is additionally achieved.

[0035] For example, if the plug section and the circulation line form a clearance fit, it is possible to avoid, for example, that the closure element becomes jammed in the circulation line.

[0036] Preferably, the plug section is dimensioned to engage in the circulation line up to the branch. As a result, dead volumes in the dishwasher can be avoided in order to meet strict hygiene requirements.

[0037] The section of the circulation line from the branch to the nozzle can be called an extension branch. The section of the circulation line that connects the circulation pump to the branch can be called a delivery branch in the expected manner. The section of the circulation line that does not lead from the branch to the nozzle or is designed parallel to the extension branch can be called a parallel branch. Therefore, the term "branch" can refer to a section of the circulation line.

[0038] Preferably, the bottom contour of the plug section transitions into the inner wall of the delivery branch and the inner wall of the parallel branch in the closed position. Preferably, the transition is connected by a bend in the bottom contour. In this way, the internal shape of the branch is favorable in terms of flow.

[0039] Preferably, the branch is arranged in the flushing container so that the nozzle is arranged near the branch.

[0040] According to an embodiment, one or more spouts or preferably branches and spouts are arranged at the bottom of the rinsing container. Preferably, it is arranged above the bottom of the rinsing container and / or below a cover, such as a sieve, in an easily accessible manner.

[0041] According to an embodiment, one or more spouts or preferably branches and spouts are arranged on the rinse item receptacle, preferably on the dish basket. By being arranged on the rinse item receptacle, the spout and the closure are usually easily accessible. This applies in particular to a rinse item receptacle which is preferably at least partially removable from the rinse container.

[0042] A washing container, in particular a dish basket, for a dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher, is also proposed, comprising: a delivery coupling and a circulation line connected downstream of the delivery coupling, wherein the delivery coupling is provided for conveying rinsing rinse liquid into the circulation line, and a branch arranged along the circulation line and a nozzle connected downstream of the branch, wherein the nozzle is provided for connecting at least one spray device and is closed by a removable closure.

[0043] The embodiments and features described for the proposed dishwasher apply correspondingly to the proposed rinse container.

[0044] Other possible embodiments of the present invention also include combinations of features or embodiments described above or below with respect to the embodiments that are not explicitly mentioned. Here, those skilled in the art will also add individual aspects as improvements or supplements to the corresponding basic forms of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0052] Figure 1A schematic perspective view of an embodiment of a system with a domestic dishwasher 1 is shown. The domestic dishwasher 1 comprises a rinsing container 2 which can be closed in an especially waterproof manner by a door 3. For this purpose, a seal (not shown) can be provided between the door 3 and the rinsing container 2. The rinsing container 2 is preferably rectangular. The rinsing container 2 can be arranged in a housing of the domestic dishwasher 1. The rinsing container 2 and the door 3 can form a rinsing chamber 4 for rinsing the rinse items.

[0053] Door 3 in Figure 1 3 is shown in the open position of the door. The door 3 can be opened or closed by pivoting about a pivot axis 5 arranged at the lower end of the door 3. The filling opening 6 of the rinsing container 2 can be closed or opened by means of the door 3. The rinsing container 2 has a bottom 7, a top 8 arranged opposite the bottom 7, a rear wall 9 arranged opposite the closed door 3, and two side walls 10, 11 arranged opposite each other. The bottom 7, the top 8, the rear wall 9 and the side walls 10, 11 can be made of stainless steel, for example. Alternatively, for example, the bottom 7 can be made of a plastic material.

[0054] The domestic dishwasher 1 further comprises at least one rinse product receptacle 12, 13, 14. Preferably, a plurality of, for example, three rinse product receptacles 12, 13, 14 can be provided, wherein the rinse product receptacle 12 can be a lower rinse product receptacle or a lower basket, the rinse product receptacle 13 can be an upper rinse product receptacle or an upper basket, and the rinse product receptacle 14 can be a cutlery drawer. Figure 1 It is also shown that the flushing item receptacles 12, 13, 14 are arranged one above the other in the flushing container 2. Each flushing item receptacle 12, 13, 14 can be selectively inserted into or removed from the flushing container 2. In particular, each flushing item receptacle 12, 13, 14 can be inserted into the flushing container 2 along an insertion direction E and can be pulled out or removed from the flushing container 2 along a pull-out direction A opposite to the insertion direction E.

[0055] Figure 2 and Figure 3 An embodiment of the present invention is schematically shown. This embodiment includes optional improvements.

[0056] Figure 2 and Figure 3 A circulation line and a closure 16 are shown, the circulation line being designated as a whole by 15 .

[0057] The circulation line 15 of this embodiment has a delivery coupling 17 , a delivery branch 18 , an expansion branch 19 , a parallel branch 20 , a branch 21 , and two fixing mechanisms 22 .

[0058] The circulation line 15 is fixed or fixable on the upper basket 13, for example, by means of a fixing mechanism 22, and can be pulled out and removed therefrom. The conveying coupling 17 of this embodiment is provided for coupling the circulation line 15 to the line at the rear wall 9 in a height-variable manner.

[0059] In the exemplary embodiment, the circulation line 15 is designed as a molded component which integrates the delivery coupling 17 , the three branches 18 , 19 , 20 , the branch 21 and the fixing device 22 in one piece.

[0060] The delivery branch 18 is designed, for example, as an extended cylindrical line. The delivery branch 18 leads from the delivery coupling 17 to the branch 21 .

[0061] The expansion branch 19 is designed, for example, as a cylindrical pipeline with a mouth 23 , which tapers relative to the supply branch 18 .

[0062] The parallel branch 20 is designed, for example, as a rotation interface for mounting a spray device (not shown) which is designed as a rotatable, multi-part spray arm.

[0063] The mouth 23 is closed by the closure 16. Figure 2 In FIG. 1 , the closure 16 is shown in the closed position. Figure 3 1 shows the closure element 16 in a decoupled position, which can occur, for example, during installation or removal of the closure element 16 and / or cleaning of the expansion branch 19 .

[0064] In the closed position, the closure 16 tightly surrounds and closes the spout 23, so that the rinse liquid is completely or at least approximately prevented from leaking out through the spout 23. The approximately prevented leakage can be regarded as sufficiently tight, since any leakage through the spout 23 into the rinse container 2 is then fed back to the circulation pump (not shown).

[0065] The circulation pump is arranged, for example, at the bottom 7 and / or below the bottom and conveys rinsing liquid from the rinsing container 2 to the circulation pump by gravity via a pump sump (not shown). During operation, the circulation pump conveys rinsing liquid into the circulation line 15 or into a plurality of circulation lines. The rinsing liquid is conveyed via the circulation line 15 to the spray device for cleaning the rinsing items accommodated in the rinsing item receptacles 13, 14, 15. If the extension is connected to the nozzle 23, the rinsing liquid is also conveyed to the extension.

[0066] If the closure 16 is in the closed position, the rinse liquid from the delivery branch 18 is delivered to the parallel branch 20 via the branch 21. Because the closure is removed, if the closure 16 is not in the closed position, such as Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , the rinse liquid is transported from the transport branch 18 to the parallel branch 20 and the expansion branch 19 via the branch 21 .

[0067] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , two fins 24 are formed at the circulation line 15. The fins 24 are an example of a protrusion protruding from the circulation line 15. The fins 24 protrude radially outward, for example.

[0068] If the closure 16 is in the closed position, the closure 16 preferably overlaps the fins 24 in the longitudinal direction of the circulation line. Longitudinal grooves 25 are provided in the closure 16. The longitudinal grooves 25 each pass from an edge 26 of the closure 16 through a sleeve 27 that breaks through the closure 16. In this way, the closure 16 can be mounted and removed from the circulation line 15 multiple times.

[0069] The sleeve 27 preferably completely surrounds the mouth 22 in the circumferential direction. This improves the sealing effect.

[0070] In the closed position, the longitudinal grooves 25 each form a positive connection in the circumferential direction with a corresponding fin 24. The closure element 16 is thus secured against twisting.

[0071] The fins 24 and the longitudinal grooves 25 are distributed irregularly in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the closure 16 can only be mounted on the circulation line 15 in one angular position. This ensures that the closure 16 is always in an angular position in which it can be easily removed by the user, for example because the tabs 28 described below are not covered.

[0072] A hook 29 is formed at the circulation line 15. In the closed position, a tab 28 formed at the closure 16 forms a locking device with the hook 29. The tab 28 positively engages the hook 29 from behind. Thus, the closure 16 is secured to prevent accidental loss.

[0073] The tab 28 is an example of a first locking profile. The hook 29 is an example of a second locking profile.

[0074] The tab 28 is designed without a handle so that the tab 28 can be released from the hook 29 by means of a tool. This counteracts an unintentional release of the tab 28.

[0075] The mouth 22 is closed directly by the bottom 32 of the closure element 16 .

[0076] Figure 4 The embodiment in shows a flat bottom 32. In addition, reference is made to the previous description.

[0077] In contrast, Figure 5The embodiment of the embodiment of the present invention shows a number of improvements. On the one hand, a handle 30 is shown, which is designed to form a gap 31 for lifting the tab 28 from the hook 29. On the other hand, a bottom 32 with a plug section 33 of the closure 16 is provided. The plug section 33 extends into the expansion branch 19. In addition, reference is made to the previous description.

[0078] The closure 16 has a handle 30. The handle 30 protrudes from the tab 28. If the handle 30 is not operated and the closure 16 is in the closed position, the handle 30 protrudes from the surface of the circulation line 15 at an angle of, for example, approximately 35°. Due to this angle, there is a gap 31 between the handle 30 and the circulation line 15.

[0079] According to this embodiment, the gap 31 is large enough for one or two fingers of an adult. For example, the gap 31 is at least 10 mm large. Thus, the closure 16 can be opened and released without tools. For this purpose, for example, the handle 30 is bent away from the circulation line 15.

[0080] The handle 30 is connected to the tab 28 in a non-bending manner so that the tab 28 is lifted above the hook 29. As a result, the tab 28 no longer engages the hook 29 from behind. The handle 30 thus acts as a lever to release the locking engagement.

[0081] According to a preferred variant, the size of the gap 31 is designed to be too small for an adult's finger. For example, the gap 30 is 3 mm to 5 mm large. Thus, the closure 16 can be opened and released in a tool-assisted manner. For example, the size of the gap 31 is designed for a lever tool such as a screwdriver. This saves construction space and counteracts unintentional release.

[0082] The mouth 22 is directly closed by the bottom 32 of the closure 16. The handle 30 extends from the tab 28 in a direction which points proportionally away from the bottom 32. Therefore, the force for lifting the handle 30 also acts proportionally to separate the closure 16 from the mouth 23.

[0083] The plug section 33 is a special form of the bottom 32. In a further embodiment, the plug section 32 can be formed at the bottom 31.

[0084] The plug section 33 forms a clearance fit with the inner side of the expansion branch 19. According to a preferred variant, an interference fit can be provided.

[0085] The plug section 33 extends until the branch 21 enters the circulation line 15. The plug section 33 fills the expansion branch 19, for example.

[0086] from Figure 5 It can be seen in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 3 that the plug section 33 has a bottom contour 34 at its end facing the branch, which facilitates flow shaping.

[0087] Preferably, in the closed position, the bottom contour 34 of the plug section 33 transitions into the inner wall of the supply branch 18 and into the inner wall of the parallel branch 20. The two transitions are preferably connected by a bend and / or a straight line.

[0088] In this way, it is impossible for food residues to accumulate in the expansion branch 19 , so that strict hygiene regulations can be met.

[0089] Although the present invention has been described based on the embodiments, various modifications can be made thereto.
