Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to washers, and more particularly to washers having a valve for alternating the flow of fluid between two fluid delivery tubes.
  • washers In order to efficiently distribute wash fluid, many washers have two spray arms disposed at different heights within a wash area. Some of these washers direct the wash fluid to the spray arms simultaneously, while other washers direct the wash fluid to the spray arms alternately. If wash fluid is directed to the spray arms alternately, the size of the circulating pump and the wash fluid distribution circuit can be reduced.
  • a washer utilizing the Milocco system has upper and lower fluid delivery tubes for respectively supplying wash fluid to the upper and lower spray arms.
  • the upper fluid delivery tube is connected to the upper spray arm while the lower fluid delivery tube is connected to the lower spray arm. Accordingly, the upper fluid delivery tube is substantially longer than the lower fluid delivery tube and, thus, has a substantially larger interior volume.
  • Wash fluid is pumped through the upper and lower fluid delivery tubes by a pump having an intake side and a delivery side.
  • the flow of wash fluid from the delivery side of the pump is controlled by a valve.
  • the valve includes a housing having an inlet connected to the delivery side of the pump and upper and lower outlets respectively connected to the inlets of the upper and lower fluid delivery tubes.
  • a valve closing element within the housing has a stable unblocking position spaced from, but aligned with the upper outlet.
  • a first phase of operation the pump directs wash fluid against the closing element, moving the closing element from the stable unblocking position to a first blocking position.
  • the first blocking position closes the upper outlet, directing most of the wash fluid into the lower fluid delivery tube.
  • a bypass channel allows some of the pumped wash fluid to bypass the closing element and enter the upper fluid delivery tube as well.
  • the bypass wash fluid in the upper fluid delivery tube flows downward and moves the blocking element from the first blocking position to an unstable unblocking position spaced from, but aligned with the lower fluid delivery tube.
  • a second phase of pump operation is started before the flow of bypass wash fluid stops and the blocking element moves away from the unstable unblocking position.
  • wash fluid from the pump moves the closing element from the unstable unblocking position to a second blocking position closing the lower outlet, thereby directing the wash fluid into the upper fluid delivery tube.
  • wash fluid flows downward from the upper fluid delivery tube.
  • the pump is not returned to the first phase of operation until after the upper fluid delivery tube is drained.
  • the closing element will move to the stable unblocking position aligned with the upper outlet.
  • the closing element will again be moved to the first blocking position, closing the upper outlet and directing most of the wash fluid into the lower fluid delivery tube.
  • wash fluid is alternately directed to the upper and lower fluid delivery tubes and, thus, the upper and lower spray arms.
  • the timing for the starting and stopping of the pump is critical to the operation of the Milocco system.
  • the timing for starting phase two of the pump operation is especially critical. If phase two of the pump operation is not started before the wash fluid completely drains from the upper fluid delivery tube, the closing element will move away from the unstable unblocking position and move towards the stable unblocking position. As a result, the closing element will move to the first blocking position rather than the second blocking position when phase two of the pump operation is finally started, resulting in the blockage of the upper outlet instead of the lower outlet.
  • the amount of time required to drain the upper fluid delivery tube is small. Accordingly, the pause between phase one and phase two of the pump operation is short. A short pause imposes a tight timing tolerance on a controller for the pump. Inexpensive electro-mechanical controllers often cannot meet the timing tolerance. Therefore, expensive electronic controllers such as a microprocessor-based programmable controllers are usually used to control a Milocco system. For this reason, there is a need in the art for an apparatus that increases the timing tolerance imposed on a controller for a pump in a Milocco system. The present invention is directed to such an apparatus.
  • a fluid delivery tube for use with a washer having a sprayer and a valve with an inlet passage and first and second outlet passages.
  • the fluid delivery tube has an inlet section, a reservoir section and an outlet section.
  • the inlet section has an inlet opening for communication with the second outlet passage of the valve.
  • the outlet section has an outlet opening for communication with the sprayer.
  • the reservoir section is located between the inlet section and the outlet section and has a cross-sectional area that is greater than the cross-sectional area of the inlet opening and greater than the cross-sectional area of the outlet opening.
  • a washer having a fluid delivery tube, a hollow spray arm, a pump for pumping fluid and a valve for directing fluid from the pump.
  • the valve includes a housing and a closing element.
  • the housing has an inlet passage in communication with the pump and first and second outlet passages.
  • the closing element is located within the housing and is movable to a first blocking position that substantially closes the second outlet passage and is movable to a second blocking position that closes the first outlet passage.
  • the fluid delivery tube has an inlet section, a reservoir section and an outlet section.
  • the inlet section has an inlet opening in communication with the second outlet passage of the valve.
  • the outlet section has an outlet opening in communication with the interior of the spray arm.
  • the reservoir is located between the inlet section and the outlet section and has a cross-sectional area that is greater than the cross-sectional area of the inlet opening and greater than the cross-sectional area of the outlet opening.
  • a washer having lower and upper delivery tubes, lower and upper hollow spray arms for spraying fluid, a pump for pumping fluid to the lower and upper spray arms and a valve.
  • the valve directs fluid from the pump to the lower and upper spray arms so as to alternate fluid flow between the lower and upper spray arms.
  • the valve includes a housing, a closing element and a bypass means.
  • the housing has an inlet passage in communication with the pump and has first and second outlet passages.
  • the closing element within the housing moves in response to a first stoppage of the pump from a blocking position that substantially closes the second outlet passage to an unstable unblocking position.
  • the closing element is held in the unstable unblocking position by a reverse flow of fluid that enters the second outlet passage.
  • the bypass means allows fluid to exit the second outlet passage when the closing element is in the blocking position.
  • the lower delivery tube has an inner section with an inner opening in communication with the first outlet passage of the valve and has an outer section with an outer opening in communication with the interior of the lower spray arm.
  • the upper delivery tube has a reservoir section, an inlet section and an outlet section.
  • the inlet section has an inlet opening in communication with the second outlet passage of the valve, while the outlet section has an outlet opening in communication with the interior of the upper spray arm.
  • the upper delivery tube retains fluid that passes through the bypass means when the closing element is in the blocking position.
  • the upper delivery tube discharges the retained fluid into the second outlet passage of the valve upon the first stoppage of the pump and thereby creates the reverse flow of fluid.
  • the reservoir section provides sufficient volume for retaining fluid when the closing element is in the blocking position so as to increase the duration of the reverse flow of fluid and therefore the amount of time the closing element is in the unstable unblocking position.
  • the washer 10 generally includes a wash tub 20, a first or lower spray arm 30, a second or upper spray'arm 40, a first or lower fluid delivery tube 50, a second or upper fluid delivery tube 60, a pump 70 and a controller 80.
  • the wash tub 20 has a lower wash area 22 with a lower rack 24 and an upper wash area 25 with an upper rack 27. Both the lower and upper racks 24, 27 hold objects to be washed, such as dishes, silverware, glasses and cookware.
  • the lower portion of the wash tub 20 defines a sump 28 for collecting wash fluid. Located in the sump is an inlet to the pump 70.
  • the pump 70 has an impeller 73 driven by a motor 75.
  • An outlet 72 from the pump 70 is connected to a valve 100 which distributes wash fluid to the lower and upper fluid delivery tubes 50,60.
  • the lower fluid delivery tube 50 has an inlet section 51 with an opening that is in communication with a first outlet passage 150 of the valve 100.
  • the lower fluid delivery tube 50 is substantially straight and is relatively short in length. Accordingly, the interior volume of the lower fluid delivery tube 50 is relatively small.
  • An opening in an outlet section 52 of the lower fluid delivery tube 50 is in communication with a central opening in the lower spray arm 30, which is substantially hollow. Disposed along the top surface of the lower spray arm 30 are a plurality of upwardly directed openings. Wash fluid delivered to the lower spray arm 30 through the lower fluid delivery tube 50 projects through these openings in a series of upwardly directed sprays of wash fluid. These upwardly-directed sprays enter the lower wash area 22 and impinge upon the objects in the lower rack 24, loosening food particles and other material adhering thereto.
  • the upper fluid delivery tube 60 has an inlet section 61 with an inlet opening that is in communication with a second outlet passage 160 of the valve 100.
  • An outlet opening in an outlet section 62 of the upper fluid delivery tube 60 is in communication with a central opening in the upper spray arm 40, which is also substantially hollow.
  • Disposed along the bottom surface of the upper spray arm 40 are a plurality of downwardly directed openings. Wash fluid delivered to the upper spray arm 40 through the upper fluid delivery tube 60 projects through these openings in a series of downwardly directed sprays of wash fluid. These downwardly-directed sprays enter the upper wash area 25 and impinge upon the objects in the upper rack 27, loosening food particles and other material adhering thereto.
  • the upper fluid delivery tube 60 In contrast to the lower fluid delivery tube 50, the upper fluid delivery tube 60 is long and generally C-shaped.
  • the inlet section 61 of the upper fluid delivery tube 60 has a cylindrical portion that is horizontally oriented and contains the inlet opening. After the cylindrical portion, the inlet section 61 reduces into a slightly more narrow tubular portion, which extends out horizontally and then curves outward and upward so as to be vertically positioned. After the tubular portion, the inlet section 61 expands and is joined with a reservoir section 64, which first extends upward and then curves inward so as to be substantially horizontal. Accordingly, the reservoir section 64 substantially has an inverted L-shape.
  • the reservoir section 64 After extending inward for a distance, the reservoir section 64 is joined with the outlet section 62, which narrows into an elliptical portion. After the elliptical portion, the outlet section 62 expands slightly and turns downward in an end portion where the outlet opening is located.
  • the cross-sectional area of the reservoir section 64 is substantially greater than the cross-sectional area of either the inlet opening or the outlet opening. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cross-sectional area of the reservoir section 64 is at least twice the cross-sectional area of either the inlet opening or the outlet opening.
  • the valve 100 is shown as it appears when the pump 70 has been idle for an extended period of time.
  • the valve 100 generally includes a housing 105 with the second outlet passage 160, the first outlet passage 150 and an inlet passage 101 connected to the outlet 72 from the pump 70.
  • a bypass channel 110 leads from the inlet passage 101 to the outer portion of the second outlet passage 160.
  • the bypass channel 110 has a cross-sectional area substantially smaller than either the first or second outlet passages 150,160.
  • a spherical closing element 180 resting on a guide 190 that slopes downward from an upper end 191 located below the first outlet passage 150 to a lower end 193 located below the second outlet passage 160.
  • the closing element 180 is made from a material having a specific gravity greater than the wash fluid. Accordingly, the closing element 180 naturally gravitates towards the lower end 193.
  • the closing element 180 is stable and is not blocking either the second outlet passage 160 or the first outlet passage 150, i.e., the closing element is in a stable unblocking position. In the stable unblocking position, the closing element 180 is aligned below the second outlet passage 160.
  • the valve 100 operates to alternately direct wash fluid from the pump 70 to the lower and upper delivery tubes 50,60.
  • the valve 100 operates in response to a cycling of the pump 70 through four phases: a first phase of operation, a first phase of non-operation, a second phase of operation and a second phase of non-operation.
  • the cycling of the pump 70 is accomplished by the controller 80 (shown in Fig.1), which starts and stops the motor 75.
  • the controller 80 is an electro-mechanical or electronic controller known in the prior art.
  • An example of such an electro-mechanical controller is the controller disclosed in assignee's application 08/383,055 which has just recently been allowed.
  • the closing element 180 is in the stable unblocking position when the pump 70 has been idle for an extended period of time.
  • the pump 70 enters the first phase of operation.
  • the pump 70 directs wash fluid against the closing element 180, moving the closing element 180 from the stable unblocking position to a first blocking position shown in Fig.4.
  • the closing element 180 is pressed against the inner portion of the second outlet passage 160, substantially blocking the flow of wash fluid through the second outlet passage 160.
  • most of the wash fluid from the pump 70 flows through the first outlet passage 150 and the lower fluid delivery tube 50 and enters the lower spray arm 30.
  • the wash fluid then projects through the upwardly-directed openings in the lower spray arm 30 and enters the lower wash area 22.
  • bypass wash fluid enters and passes through the inlet section 61 of the upper fluid delivery tube 60 and proceeds into the reservoir section 64.
  • the bypass wash fluid continues to enter the upper fluid delivery tube 60 and fill the volume of the reservoir section 64 until the pump 70 is stopped or the hydrostatic pressure exerted by the wash fluid in the upper fluid delivery tube 60 equals the pressure of the wash fluid entering the upper fluid delivery tube 60.
  • the size of the bypass channel 110 is limited in relation to the capacity of the pump 70 so as to allow the hydrostatic pressure of the wash fluid -in the upper fluid delivery tube 60 to stop the flow of bypass wash fluid before the bypass wash fluid completely fills the upper fluid delivery tube 60 and exits through the upper spray arm 40.
  • bypass channel 110 can be replaced by other arrangements that permit a small amount of wash fluid to bypass the closing element 180, enter the upper fluid delivery tube 60 and fill the reservoir section 64.
  • the inner portion of the second outlet passage 160 can be made irregular so that the closing element 180 does not completely seal the inner portion when the closing element 180 is in the first blocking position.
  • the pump 70 enters the first phase of non-operation.
  • the bypass wash fluid in the upper fluid delivery tube 60 and the wash fluid in the lower fluid delivery tube 50 flow by gravity back into the valve 100.
  • gravity urges the closing element 180 to move away from the first blocking position of Fig.4.
  • the force of gravity on the closing element 180 would, by itself, move the closing element 180 back to the stable unblocking position.
  • the flow of bypass wash' fluid from the upper fluid delivery tube 60 exerts a substantial hydrostatic pressure on the closing element 180 and, instead, moves the closing element 180 to an unstable unblocking position shown in Fig.5.
  • the flow of wash fluid from the lower fluid delivery tube 50 also exerts a force on the closing element 180, but this force is small since the amount of wash fluid in the lower delivery tube 50 is negligible.
  • the closing element 180 In the-unstable unblocking position, the closing element 180 is resting on the upper end 191 of the guide 190 and is spaced from, but aligned with, the first outlet passage 150. This position is unstable because the closing element 180 would, absent the flow of bypass wash fluid, slide along the guide 190 and return to the stable unblocking position at the lower end 193 of the guide 190.
  • the pump 70 is started by the controller 80 before the expiration of a first period of time, which is the time it takes for the bypass wash fluid to stop flowing from the upper fluid delivery tube 60. When the pump 70 is again started, the pump enters the second phase of operation.
  • the pump 70 directs wash fluid against the closing element 180, moving the closing element 180 from the unstable unblocking position shown in Fig. 5 to a second blocking position shown in Fig.6.
  • the closing element 180 In the second blocking position, the closing element 180 is pressed against the inner portion of the first outlet passage 150, blocking the flow of wash fluid through the first outlet passage 150.
  • the wash fluid from the pump 70 flows through the second outlet passage 160 and into the upper fluid delivery tube 60.
  • the wash fluid exits the upper fluid delivery tube 60 and enters the upper spray arm 40.
  • the wash fluid projects through the downwardly-directed openings in the upper spray arm 40 and enters the upper wash area 25.
  • the upper fluid delivery tube 60 including the reservoir section 64, fills with wash fluid.
  • the pump 70 When the pump 70 is stopped by the controller 80, the pump enters the second phase of non-operation.
  • the wash fluid in the upper fluid delivery tube 60 flows by gravity back into the valve 100.
  • gravity urges the closing element 180 to move away from the second blocking position.
  • the force of gravity on the closing element 180 would, by itself, move the closing element 180 back to the stable unblocking position.
  • the closing element 180 is prevented from moving past the unstable unblocking position by the hydrostatic pressure exerted by the flow of wash fluid from the upper fluid delivery tube 60. If the pump 70 was started before the flow of wash fluid from the upper fluid delivery tube 60 ceased, the closing element 180 would be moved back to the second blocking position as occurs in the second phase of operation.
  • the duration of the second phase of non-operation is greater than a second period of time, which is the time it takes for the wash fluid to drain from the upper fluid delivery tube 60 and for the closing element 180 to subsequently move to the stable unblocking position.
  • a second period of time which is the time it takes for the wash fluid to drain from the upper fluid delivery tube 60 and for the closing element 180 to subsequently move to the stable unblocking position.
  • wash fluid is supplied to the lower spray arm 30 during the first phase of operation of the pump 70 and wash fluid is supplied to the upper spray arm 40 during the second phase of operation of the pump 70.
  • the controller 80 does not have to be programmed to continuously cycle the pump 70 through the four phases so as to continuously alternate the supply of wash fluid to the lower and upper spray arms 30,40.
  • the controller 80 can be programmed to alternate the supply of wash fluid to the lower and upper spray arms 30,40 for a period of time and then supply only one of the spray arms for the remainder of the operation of the washer 10, or the controller 80 can be programmed to only supply wash fluid to the lower spray arm 30.
  • the foregoing is accomplished by programming the controller 80 to stop progressing the pump 70 to subsequent phases. It should be appreciated, however, that wash fluid cannot be supplied only to the upper spray arm 40 because the pump 70 has to progress through the first phase of operation and first phase of non-operation in order to reach the second phase of operation wherein wash fluid is supplied to the upper spray arm 40.
  • the controller 80 can also be programmed to change the duration wash fluid is supplied to a particular spray arm by changing the durations of the first and second phases of operation.
  • the pauses between the changes in supply to the spray arms, i.e., the first and second phases of non-operation, can also be changed, but only to an extent.
  • the pause between supplying wash fluid to the lower spray arm 30 and supplying wash fluid to the upper spray arm 40, i.e., the first phase of non-operation cannot be greater than the first period of time. However, the first phase of non-operation can be less than the first period of time.
  • the pause between supplying wash fluid to the upper spray arm 40 and supplying wash fluid to the lower spray arm 30, i.e., the second phase of non-operation, cannot be less than the second period of time.
  • the second phase of non-operation can have a duration greater than the second period of time.
  • the stopping and starting of the pump 70 to switch the flow of wash fluid from the lower spray arm 30 to the upper spray arm 40 is the most stringent operating parameter that has to be met by the controller 80 because the time between the stopping and the starting of the pump 70 i.e., the first period of time, is short. Accordingly, the first period of time determines the timing tolerance of the controller 80. Since the first period of time is the time it takes for the bypass wash fluid to stop flowing from the upper fluid delivery tube 60, the first period of time is a function of the volume of the upper fluid delivery tube 60. The volume of the upper fluid delivery tube 60 is significantly greater than the volume of prior art upper fluid delivery tubes because of the reservoir section 64.
  • the time it takes for bypass wash fluid to stop flowing from the upper fluid delivery tube 60 of the present invention is significantly greater than the time it takes for bypass wash fluid to stop flowing from prior art upper fluid delivery tubes.
  • the timing tolerance imposed on the controller 80 is greater than the timing tolerance imposed on the electronic controllers used in prior art Milocco systems. This increase in timing tolerance permits the controller 80 to be a conventional electro-mechanical controller instead of a sophisticated electronic controller. Of course, a sophisticated electronic controller can also be used in the washer 10, which has the upper fluid delivery tube 60 of the present invention.
