Abstract
Description
- The present invention refers to a device for supplying washing liquid in the tub of a household washing machine, in particular a dishwasher.
- As known, dishwashers comprise a device for supplying washing liquid in the wash tub, which device is located outside the tub itself, usually on one of its side walls.
- This device performs several essential functions, such as:
- a water non return device to the waterworks by means of an air break, in the event of a likely depression within the water system itself,
- collecting water for regenerating the softening resins of the washing water,
- a vent directed to the outer environment, as required for preventing any overpressures on the pressure switch, which may cause a wrong operation of the latter or possible malfunctions,
- an outlet column for the steam coming from the wash tub and its partial condensation before being discharged in the environment.
- These functions are obtained by means of ribs delimiting a number of water flow channels, at least a chamber collecting water for regeneration purposes and vent openings, of which one at least is located in line with an opening of the wash tub for venting the steam that forms inside the tub, and at least another one on the top of the connecting device to the outer environment.
- As known, this device consists of two half-shells, which are subsequently welded between them by a hot blade welding process.
- The air break, besides performing the function of a water non return device to the waterworks, has to warrant, according to market specifications, a water leak not exceeding the total amount of water supplied to the dishwasher by 3-5%. This maximum value is due to the fact that a water leak from the air break will be conveyed in the wash tub directly through the steam vent opening without flowing through the decalcifying device; this will entail consequent problems, such as calcareous rests on the dishes.
- Therefore, to ensure a correct air break execution, a half-moon shaped insert assuring extremely controlled dimensions is utilized. In fact, during the hot blade welding stage of both half-shells, the material of the ribs forming the water flow channels will melt and form a flash that solidifies after the welding process, whose dimensions cannot be controlled. Moreover, this flash would be deleterious in line with an air break flow, because the fluid streams tending to follow the channel shapes by adhesion surface will follow the flash and let a consistent amount of the water supplied flow out.
- Introduction of an additional insert in a half-shell, before the hot blade welding process, will not only increase its assembly costs, but cause problems for the automated manufacturing process of the device, as high investment costs are involved. Moreover, should an additional component be erroneously omitted, operating problems would then ensue.
- Moreover, inserting any additional element inside the device, will not allow its manufacture as a single body, since insertion of an additional element requires manufacture of the device in two pieces, for its assembly on one of the two parts before welding them together.
- A further drawback of the devices manufactured according to the known state of the art is represented by a faulty welding of the two half-shells with a consequent water leakage when the device is assembled in a washing machine. Quite often, such a defective welding of the two half-shells is not detected by present processes, since the device has openings and outlets towards the outer environment, which hinder a weld check letting air in, as normally done for other devices manufactured with a hot blade welding process, which have a sealed volume.
- A water leakage outside the device may occur due to a defective peripheral welding, with consequent electric safety issues, since the leak may involve electric components located in the lower section of the washing machine, or water dripping on the floor where the washing machine is resting.
- In order to obviate to this drawback, are know devices that have their peripheral edge consisting of two parallel ribs so as to form a closed gap between them along the whole perimeter of the device after welding both half-shells. Correct execution of the welding can be detected by injecting an air jet in this gap through a hole made at the moment, making sure there is no pressure drop of the air introduced therein.
- This system allows detecting a peripheral leakage but not an inner leakage, which may not even be detected after the device has been assembled on the washing machine.
- An inner leakage, due to a defective welding, may cause several issues according to the location where the leak takes place and its amount. Should a leak occur, for example, between the water collecting chamber for resins regeneration and the water inlet duct to the wash tub, then the amount of water required for a satisfactory resins regeneration would decrease with consequent calcareous deposit inside the machine.
- If the leak occurs on the ribs near the air break or near the rib separating the steam vent from the collecting chamber for the regeneration water, then the wash tub will take in a higher amount of non decalcified water and undergo the same effects as described above.
- In the particular event of a leakage occurring on a rib upstream the air break and the channel downstream the air break, a backflow of polluted water may occur to the main following a pressure drop in the waterworks, i.e. a serious malfunction of the non return device, which is an obvious infringement of the existing standards.
- It is the object of the present invention to solve the above drawbacks of the devices already known.
- In this frame, it is a main object of the present invention to provide a device supplying washing liquid in the tub of a household washing machine, in particular a dishwasher, in which the device is of simple and compact realization, and therefore economical, ensuring an improved performance reliability as well as an easier, cost-effective production, with respect to the solutions already known.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide a above mentioned device having a higher reliability, by virtue of its means apt for detecting any welding faults.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a device, which can be manufactured as one piece alone.
- These and others aims are achieved according to the present invention by a device for supplying washing liquid in the tub of a household washing machine, in particular a dishwasher, incorporating the features of the annexed claims, which form an integral part of the description herein.
- Further objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description and annexed drawings, which are supplied by way of non limiting example, wherein:
- Fig. 1 shows schematically a vertical section of a device for supplying washing liquid in the tub of a household washing machine, according to the present invention;
- Fig. 2 shows an enlarged scale of a cross section of the channel in the air break area before welding, according to the present invention;
- Fig. 3 shows an enlarged scale of a cross section of the channel in the air break area after welding, according to the present invention.
- In Fig. 1 is represented a vertical section of a metering device of the washing liquid in the tub of a household washing machine, according to the present invention.
- In this figure,
reference 1 indicates the device for supplying the washing liquid, which consists of two substantially symmetric half-shells welded together by the hot blade welding process,reference 2 indicates the device body;reference 3 indicates an air break operating as a water non return device to the waterworks,reference 4 indicates a chamber for collecting regeneration water for the softening resins of the washing water,reference 5 indicates a connector of thedevice 1 for its connection to the waterworks; a solenoid valve controlled by a programming device of the washing machine is located between theconnector 5 and the waterworks. - Water reaching the
connector 5 is further conveyed inside aduct 6, flows through theair break 3 and enters in thechamber 4 through anopening 7. After filling thechamber 4 and overcoming apartition level 8, water overflows into asecond duct 9, and through asecond connector 10 reaches the wash tub flowing through a softening device (not shown here). -
Reference 11 indicates a third connector for connecting thechamber 4 to a salt stank for regenerating the softening resins of the washing water. Water flow fromchamber 4 to the salt tank is controlled by a solenoid valve driven by the programming device of the washing machine. -
Reference 12 indicates an opening for collecting the steam coming from the wash tub,reference 13 indicates a vent and condensing chamber of said steam, which is then discharged in the environment through asecond opening 14 placed on top of thevent chamber 13. The opening 12 also operates to let any water unable to overcome theair break 3 enter the wash tub. - The surrounding walls of the
body 2 and those delimiting theducts chamber 4 for collecting regeneration water, thevent chamber 13 and theair break 3, are obtained with a double rib indicated with 15A and 15B respectively, so as a continuous closedvolume channel 15 between both ribs is obtained when welding both half-shells to each other. - The double wall delimiting the
ducts chamber 4 for collecting regeneration water, thevent chamber 13 and theair break 3 is obtained by therib 15B alone, which extends continuously inside thebody 2. Moreover, theducts wall 15B. - The weld of both half-shells require heating of the ribs until their ends reach a plastic state and then joined them under a certain pressure, causing the ribs of both half-shells enter each other, then letting the whole set cool down. This procedure causes an height reduction of the ribs and consequently of the
channel 15; in order to avoid that the air contained in thechannel 15 may be compressed and cause welding problems, ahole 16 is provided in the outer wall of the channel of one of the two half-shells, which will let the air inside thechannel 15 flow outside. - The
hole 16, besides letting the air contained in thechannel 15 flow out during the welding of both half-shells, is utilized during the testing stage of thedevice 1 to verify a correct welding execution. - In fact, the test is performed introducing an air jet in the
channel 15 through thehole 16, making sure no air pressure drop occurs. In the event of a pressure drop, this means that the weld has a leak, so the component will be rejected and not used. - Thus, all manufactured devices can be checked and their defective rate due to a faulty welding practically reduced to zero.
- In order to avoid that welding flash in the air break area may cause any issues as mentioned above, the channel near the air break is manufactured according to the illustrations in Figs. 2 and 3.
- In these figures, representing an enlarged scale of the cross section of the air break area before and after welding both half-shells,
references reference 6 indicates in Fig. 2 the duct before welding and in Fig. 3 the duct after welding both half-shells.Reference 18 indicates two equal recesses realized in therib 15B, which are delimited on one side by awall 19 of theduct 6 and on the other side by awall 20 delimiting the outer side of therib 15B. - When both half-
shells device 1 are positioned one on top of the other for welding, thewall 20 of one is in contact with thesame wall 20 of the other, whereas a certain clearance exists between thewall 19 of one and thewall 19 of the other (see Fig. 2). The distance between thewalls 19 of both half-shells is so selected to be in line with the height reduction of thewalls 20 during welding of both half-shells, as described above. - As a result, at the end of the welding process, both
walls 19 will match without being welded, thus avoiding possible flash formation in line with a path having an air cut, which may favor the outlet of a consistent portion of the water flowing through the air break. - Welding of the
walls 20 will produce a flash indicated with 21, which is due to the squeezing of the two shells during welding and to the plasticity of thewalls 20 for their welding. - However, the
flash 21 does not involve theduct 6, since a portion of it is contained in therecess 18, delimited between thewalls wall 20 inside thechannel 15. - Likely water leaks that may occur between the
wall ends 19, not welded to each other, will not be dispersed in the device I and consequently in the wash tub, since they are contained in therecess 18. - From the above description the features of the present invention are clear.
- In particular, a device for supplying liquid in the tub of a household washing machine, particularly a dishwasher, has been described, which device is of simple, compact, low-cost manufacture, and ensuring, in respect of the know realization, an improved performance reliability as well as an easier, cost-effective production.
- In a preferred embodiment of the present invention are provided means for detecting leakage due to a defective welding both outside and inside the device.
- From the above description also the advantages of the present invention are clear; in particular the following advantages should be pointed out:
- its manufacturing simplicity, since an additional component is removed;
- automatic moulding and welding of both half-shells, having no additional internal components;
- verification of all welding points of both half-shells;
- absolute reliability of the device at the washing machine manufacturer's and consequently for the end user.
- It is obvious that many changes are possible for the man skilled in the art to the device for supplying washing liquid in the tub of a household washing machine, in particular a dishwasher, described above by way of example, without departing from the novelty spirit of the invention.
- According to a possible embodiment, the removal of the additional component required for the air break, allows manufacture of the device in one piece alone by means of the blow moulding process. Thus, welding is no longer required with a consequent obvious reduction of manufacturing costs.
- Moreover, both a double rib on the outer wall and inner ribs for a welding test channel are no longer required, with a consequent clear reduction of material and relevant costs.
- It is obvious that many other changes are possible for the man skilled in the art to the device for supplying washing liquid in the tub of a household washing machine, in particular a dishwasher, described above by way of example, without departing from the novelty spirit of the invention.
