Description
La présente invention concerne un lave-vaisselle à fonctionnement amélioré.The present invention relates to a dishwasher with improved operation.
Dans un lave-vaisselle, au cours du lavage ou rinçage, des particules alimentaires en suspension dans le liquide de lavage ou rinçage sont projetées par des moulinets d'arrosage en même temps que des jets de liquide de lavage ou rinçage sur la vaisselle, les paniers à vaisselle, le plafond et les parois latérales de la cuve.In a dishwasher, during washing or rinsing, food particles suspended in the washing or rinsing liquid are sprayed by watering reels at the same time as jets of washing or rinsing liquid on the dishes, dish baskets, ceiling and side walls of the tank.
Certains lave-vaisselle connus comprennent au niveau du plafond de leur cuve un moulinet "plafond" d'arrossage. Ce moulinet "plafond" d'arrosage est habituellement destiné soit à un lavage principal de la vaisselle dans leur panier supérieur, soit à un arrosage complémentaire de cette vaisselle dont le lavage principal est assuré par un moulinet supérieur d'arrosage disposé en dessous de leur panier supérieur à vaisselle. Les jets de liquide envoyés par ce moulinet "plafond" sont essentiellement dirigés latéralement et vers le bas sur la vaisselle qui se trouve en dessous. Certains de ces jets atteignent les parois latérales de la cuve, mais ces jets ne sont pas orientés vers le plafond de cette cuve que aléatoirement ou partiellement. En outre, ce moulinet "plafond" d'arrosage est souvent encombrant.Some known dishwashers include at the ceiling of their tank a "ceiling" spray reel. This "ceiling" watering reel is usually intended either for a main washing of the dishes in their upper basket, or for additional watering of these dishes, the main washing of which is ensured by an upper watering reel arranged below their upper basket for dishes. The liquid jets sent by this "ceiling" reel are mainly directed laterally and downwards on the dishes below. Some of these jets reach the side walls of the tank, but these jets are not oriented towards the ceiling of this tank only randomly or partially. In addition, this watering "ceiling" reel is often bulky.
Certains autres lave-vaisselle connus comprennent au niveau du plafond de leur cuve une buse "plafond" fixe d'alimentation en liquide d'un moulinet d'arrosage supporté par leur panier supérieur à vaisselle.Certain other known dishwashers comprise at the level of the ceiling of their tank a fixed "ceiling" nozzle for supplying liquid to a watering reel supported by their upper basket for dishes.
Cette buse "plafond" fixe peut comporter deux ou plusieurs sorties latérales qui émettent des jets fixes de liquide tombant en pluie sur la vaisselle en dessous dans le panier supérieur à vaisselle. Ces jets fixes de liquide de la buse "plafond" sont dirigés latéralement et vers le bas et effectuent un arrosage complémentaire de cette vaisselle dont le lavage principal est assuré par le moulinet d'arrosage supporté par le panier supérieur à vaisselle.This fixed "ceiling" nozzle may have two or more lateral outlets which emit fixed jets of liquid falling in rain on the dishes below in the upper basket for dishes. These fixed jets of liquid from the "ceiling" nozzle are directed laterally and downwards and carry out additional watering of these dishes, the main washing of which is ensured by the supported watering reel. by the upper dish basket.
On connaît également d'après le document CH-A- 442 647 un lave-vaisselle comportant une turbine arrosant en permanence toute la surface du plafond de la cuve de cette machine.Also known from document CH-A-442 647 is a dishwasher comprising a turbine permanently spraying the entire surface of the ceiling of the tank of this machine.
Dans ces lave-vaisselle connus, à la fin de chacun de leurs programmes de lavage et/ou de rinçage, on aperçoit encore l'existence des particules alimentaires restées sur la surface de la vaisselle lavée et/ou rincée.In these known dishwashers, at the end of each of their washing and / or rinsing programs, we still see the existence of food particles remaining on the surface of the washed and / or rinsed dishes.
La présente invention visant à éviter ces inconvénients, permet de réaliser un lave-vaisselle ayant un excellent fonctionnement dans lequel le lavage et /ou le rinçage de la vaisselle sont fortement améliorés, et donnent une vaisselle lavée et/ou rincée de particules alimentaires.The present invention aims to avoid these drawbacks, makes it possible to produce a dishwasher having an excellent operation in which the washing and / or rinsing of the dishes is greatly improved, and gives a dish washed and / or rinsed with food particles.
Selon l'invention, un lave-vaisselle pourvu dans sa cuve d'un moulinet inférieur d'arrosage, d'un moulinet supérieur d'arrosage associés aux paniers inférieur et supérieur à vaisselle, et d'un autre dispositif d'arrosage dirigé vers le plafond de la cuve, est caractérisé en ce que cet autre dispositif d'arrosage est un moulinet de nettoyage volontaire de toute la surface du plafond de la cuve, ce moulinet assurant une fonction principale de balayage de la surface du plafond par des jets de liquide sortant d'un ou plusieurs ajutages pratiqués dans le moulinet.According to the invention, a dishwasher provided in its tank with a lower watering reel, an upper watering reel associated with the lower and upper dish baskets, and another watering device directed towards the tank ceiling, is characterized in that this other watering device is a reel for voluntary cleaning of the entire surface of the tank ceiling, this reel providing a main function of sweeping the surface of the ceiling by jets of liquid leaving one or more nozzles made in the reel.
Pour mieux faire comprendre l'invention, on décrit ci-après un exemple de réalisation illustré par des dessins ci-annexés dont :
- la figure 1 représente une vue schématique et partielle d'un lave-vaisselle muni d'un moulinet de nettoyage du plafond de cuve ;
- la figure 2 représente à une autre échelle une vue schématique en coupe de moulinet de nettoyage du plafond de cuve de la cuve 1, et
- la figure 3 représente une vue schématique en coupe d'une pièce mixe servant à la fois de buse d'alimentation en liquide et d'axe de rotation du moulinet de nettoyage du plafond de cuve.
- Figure 1 shows a schematic and partial view of a dishwasher provided with a reel for cleaning the tank ceiling;
- FIG. 2 shows on another scale a schematic sectional view of a reel for cleaning the tank ceiling of tank 1, and
- 3 shows a schematic sectional view of a mixed part serving both as a liquid supply nozzle and as the axis of rotation of the reel for cleaning the tank ceiling.
Un lave-vaisselle 1 représenté schématiquement par des traits discontinus comprend une cuve 2, un panier à vaisselle inférieur 3, un panier à vaisselle supérieur 4, des moulinets d'arrosage inférieur 5 et supérieur 6 et un puisard 8 dans le fond de la cuve 2.A dishwasher 1 represented diagrammatically by broken lines comprises a
Le puisard 8 est en communication, d'une part à travers une canalisation d'admission 9 avec une pompe de recyclage de liquide 10 qui aspire du liquide dans ce puisard et le refoule à travers des canalisations 12 et 13 dans les moulinets d'arrosage inférieur 5 et supérieur 6, et d'autre part à travers une entrée 14, avec une pompe de vidange 18 qui recueille du liquide dans la partie la plus basse de ce puisard 8 et le refoule vers l'extérieur à travers un tuyau de vidange 19.
Le puisard 8 est recouvert par un filtre moyen 20 et un filtre gros 22. Le filtre moyen 20 sépare la pompe de recyclage 10, de la cuve 2 et de l'entrée 14 de la pompe de vidange 18, et met la cuve 2 en communication avec l'entrée 14 de la pompe de vidange 18 par son ouverture tubulaire 21 dans laquelle est monté le filtre gros 22.The
Un microfiltre 40 est monté dans la cuve 2 et assure un filtrage des petites particules ou microparticules alimentaires véhiculées par un courant de liquide envoyé par la pompe de recyclage 10 à travers une canalisation de dérivation 27, et une buse 42 disposée dans l'entrée 14 de la pompe de vidange 18. Ce courant de liquide ne représente qu'une fraction du liquide refoulé par la pompe de recyclage 10. Le microfiltre 40 laisse passer dans la cuve 2 du liquide filtré et retient des microparticules alimentaires.A
Un clapet anti-retour 16 sépare l'ouverture d'admission de la pompe de vidange 18 et l'entrée 14. Le clapet anti-retour 16 est ouvert uniquement dans la direction de la pompe de vidange 18 et fermé dans la dirertion opposée.A non-return valve 16 separates the inlet opening of the
Durant le fonctionnement du lave-vaisselle 1 en lavage ou en rinçage, le filtre moyen 20, le filtre gros 22 et le microfiltre 40 retiennent au fur et à mesure les particules alimentaires se trouvant dans le liquide de lavage ou de rinçage. Lors d'un fonctionnement de la pompe de vidange 18 des courants de liquide se forment, passent de la cuve 2 à travers le filtre moyen 20, le filtre gros 22 et le microfiltre 40, dans l'entrée 14 de cette pompe de vidange 18 entraînent alors des particules alimentaires retenues par le filtre moyen 20 et le microfiltre 40 et les évacuent vers l'extérieur à travers le tuyau de vidange 19. Les grosses particules alimentaires retenues par le filtre gros 22 sont enlevées manuellement lors d'un nettoyage de ce filtre 22.During the operation of the dishwasher 1 in washing or rinsing, the
Pendant le cycle de lavage et de rinçage, des particules alimentaires en suspension dans le liquide de lavage et de rinçage sont projetées en même temps que des jets de liquide par les moulinets d'arrosage inférieur 5 et supérieur 6, sur tout ce qui se trouve à l'intérieur de la cuve 2, autrement dit sur les paniers à vaisselle inférieur 3 et supérieur 4, la vaisselle contenue dans ces paniers, les parois latérales 45 et le plafond 46 de la cuve 2.During the washing and rinsing cycle, food particles suspended in the washing and rinsing liquid are sprayed at the same time as liquid jets by the lower 5 and upper 6 water reels, onto everything inside the
Il est surprenant de découvrir clans des lave-vaisselle connus une relation entre le fait que malgré en nombre relativement grand de rinçages, on trouve encore dans les derniers rinçages des microparticules sur leur microfiltre, bien que ce microfiltre soit automatiquement nettoyé lors d'une vidange après chaque rinçage, et on découvre à la fin de leur programme de fonctionnement encore des traces de particules alimentaires restant sur la vaisselle lavée et rincée, et le fait que le plafond de la cuve n'est pas volontairement nettoyé d'une manière continue dans son étendue par des jets de liquide. Il est probable que dans les lave-vaisselle connus, des jets de liquide envoyés par leurs moulinets d'arrosage atteignent d'une façon aléatoire le plafond de leur cuve et des particules alimentaires projetées sur ce plafond sont délogées bien moins rapidement que celles se trouvant sur la vaisselle dans leurs paniers et sur les autres parois de la cuve. Autrement dit, le temps moyen de séjour des particules alimentaires sur le plafond de leur cuve est supérieur à celui des particules alimentaires sur la vaisselle, ce qui exige un nombre relativement grand de rinçages dans ces lave-vaisselle connus sans que la vaisselle lavée et rincée dans ces appareils soit dépourvue de traces de particules alimentaires sur sa surface.It is surprising to discover in known dishwashing clans a relationship between the fact that, despite a relatively large number of rinses, microparticles are still found in their last rinses on their microfilter, although this microfilter is automatically cleaned during emptying. after each rinse, and we discover at the end of their operating program still traces of food particles remaining on the dishes washed and rinsed, and the fact that the ceiling of the tank is not intentionally cleaned continuously its extent by jets of liquid. It is likely that in known dishwashers, jets of liquid sent by their watering reels reach randomly the ceiling of their tank and food particles projected on this ceiling are dislodged much less quickly than those found on the dishes in their baskets and on the other walls of the tank. In other words, the average residence time of food particles on the ceiling of their tank is greater than that of food particles on dishes, which requires a relatively large number of rinses in these known dishwashers without the dishes being washed and rinsed in these devices is free of traces of food particles on its surface.
Selon l'invention, pour avoir rapidement débarrasé de particules alimentaires, un lave-vaisselle comprend en plus des moulinets inférieur et supérieur d'arrosage associés aux paniers inférieur et supérieur à vaisselle, un moulinet de nettoyage volontaire de toute la surface du plafond de la cuve.According to the invention, for having quickly got rid of food particles, a dishwasher comprises in addition to the upper and lower reels associated with the lower and upper baskets for dishes, a reel for voluntary cleaning of the entire surface of the ceiling of the tank.
Ce moulinet de nettoyage du plafond de la cuve assure une double fonction, une fonction principale de balayage de la surface de ce plafond par des jets de liquide et une fonction subsidiaire d'arrosage de la vaisselle dans les paniers supérieur et inférieur à vaisselle par une pluie de liquide provenant de ces jets de liquide renvoyés par ce plafond. Il en résulte que le plafond de la cuve de ce lave-vaisselle est débarrassé des particules alimentaires, que le lavage et/ou le rinçage de la vaisselle sont nettement améliorés par un arrosage complémentaire de cette vaisselle opéré par le moulinet de nettoyage volontaire du plafond de la cuve, que les microparticules ne sont plus retrouvées de façon moindre dans le microfiltre, dans les derniers rinçages, qu'une épuration optimale de chacun des bains de lavage et de rinçage est réalsisée, et que le nombre de bains dans un programme de fonctionnement peut être réduit tout en obtenant une vaisselle lavée et rinçée dépourvue de trace de particules alimentaires.This reel for cleaning the tank ceiling has a double function, a main function of sweeping the surface of this ceiling by jets of liquid and a subsidiary function of watering the dishes in the upper and lower basket for dishes. rain of liquid coming from these jets of liquid returned by this ceiling. It follows that the ceiling of the tank of this dishwasher is free of food particles, that the washing and / or rinsing of the dishes is significantly improved by additional watering of these dishes operated by the voluntary cleaning reel of the ceiling of the tank, that the microparticles are no longer found in a lesser way in the microfilter, in the last rinses, that an optimal purification of each of the washing and rinsing baths is carried out, and that the number of baths in a program of operation can be reduced while obtaining washed and rinsed dishes free of traces of food particles.
Pour cet effet, selon l'exemple de réalisation illustré, le lave-vaisselle 1 comprend dans la proximité du plafond 46 de la cuve 2, un moulinet 49 de nettoyage du plafond de cuve et une pièce mixte 50 servant à la fois de buse 51 d'alimentation en liquide du moulinet supérieur d'arrosage 6, d'axe 53 de rotation à ce moulinet 49 de nettoyage du plafond de cuve et de distributeur d'eau pour ce même moulinet.For this purpose, according to the illustrated embodiment, the dishwasher 1 comprises, in the vicinity of the
Le moulinet 49 de nettoyage du plafond de cuve est constitué par une boite circulaire, polygonale ou allongée 54 munie d'une part d'un moyeu tubulaire 55 coupé transversalement en deux par une fente transversale circulaire 56 (figure 2) ou une rangée transversale circulaire d'ouvertures (non représentée) servant de voie d'entrée de liquide et d'autre part d'un ou plusieurs orifices ou ajutages 57 orientés vers le plafond 46 de la cuve 2 et donnant à leur sortie un ou plusieurs jets de liquide balayant durant la rotation de ce moulinet 49 toute l'étendue de la surface de ce plafond 46.The
La pièce mixte 50 comprend un corps tubulaire qui, servant d'axe 53 de rotation ou moulinet 49 de nettoyage du plafond de cuve, comporte à une des extrémités, une buse axiale 51 d'alimentation en liquide du moulinet supérieur d'arrosage 6 et une collerette radiale 59. Cette collerette 59 sert à la fois de butée d'appui au moulinet 49 de nettoyage du plafond de cuve et de prise pour le montage de la pièce mixte 50 sur l'extrémité de la canalisation 13 reliée à la pompe de recyclage de liquide 10. Le corps tubulaire de la pièce mixte 50 servant d'axe de rotation 53 du moulinet 49 de nettoyage du plafond de cuve comprend dans sa paroi d'une part au moins une ouverture radiale 62 d'alimentation en liquide du moulinet 49 de nettoyage du plafond de cuve et d'autre part sur les deux côtés de cette ou ces ouvertures radiales 62 deux rainures transversales circulaires 64, 65 ouvertes vers l'extérieur de ce corps tubulaire et destinées à assurer un bon guidage et une étanchéité satisfaisante.The
Quand le moulinet 49 de nettoyage du plafond de cuve est monté autour de l'axe de rotation 53 fixé à l'extrémité de la canalisation 13, les ouvertures radiales 62 de cet axe de rotation 53 se trouvent face à la fente transversale 56 du moyeu 55 de ce moulinet 49.When the
Lors d'un fonctionnement du lave-vaisselle 1, la pompe de recyclage 10 aspire du liquide dans le puisard 8 et le refoule à travers les canalisations 12, 13, 27. Le courant de liquide refoulé à travers la canalisation 13 se divise en deux parties au niveau de la pièce mixte 50, une partie traversant la buse 51 franchissant un espace à l'air 70 et entrant par une conduite 71 dans le moulinet supérieur d'arrosage 6 et une partie traversant les ouvertures radiales 62, la fente transversale 56 entrant dans le moulinet 49 de nettoyage du plafond de cuve et sortant des orifices ou ajutages 57 sous forme de jets de liquide 75 qui balayent la surface du plafond 46 et entraînent des particules alimentaires qui s'y déposent avant d'être renvoyés par ce plafond 46 et de tomber en pluie sur la vaisselle dans les paniers supérieur 4 et inférieur 3 à vaisselle.During operation of the dishwasher 1, the
Le plafond 46 de la cuve 2 est ainsi volontairement nettoyé d'une manière continue et dans la totalité de sa surface par des jets de liquide 75 du moulinet 49 qui entraînent rapidement régulièrement et au fur et à mesure, des particules alimentaires qui s'y déposent.The
Le temps moyen de séjour des particules alimentaires sur le plafond est alors équivalent au temps moyen de séjour des particules alimentaires sur la surface de la vaisselle dans les paniers 3 et 4. Il n'y a plus de décalage dans le temps, entre l'évacuation des particules alimentaires accrochées au plafond 46 de la cuve 2 et celle sur la vaisselle et les autres parois de la cuve 2, ce qui ne nécessite plus un grand nombre de rinçages pour éliminer les dernières particules alimentaires dans l'appareil pour obtenir une vaisselle lavée et rinçée dépourvue de trace de particules alimentaires.The average residence time of the food particles on the ceiling is then equivalent to the average residence time of the food particles on the surface of the dishes in baskets 3 and 4. There is no longer a time difference between the evacuation of food particles attached to the
