Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Geschirrspülmaschine nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a dishwasher according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Aus der EP 0 796 587 B1 ist eine Geschirrspülmaschine der eingangs genannten Art bekannt, bei der die Kupplung beim Einschieben des Geschirrkorbes aufgrund einer in alle Richtungen frei beweglichen Dichtplatte entsprechend der Beladung des Geschirrkorbes unterschiedlichen Lage der Kupplung Verschiebungen beim Zusammenfahren der Kupplung mit den Stutzen des Zuführrohres ausgleicht. Die Kupplung weist ein mit dem Zulaufrohr einstückig hergestelltes Gehäuse auf, in das eine Zentrierplatte als vorderer Abschluss der Kupplung in Einsatzstellung senkrecht und im Wesentlichen parallel zu der Zuführungsleitung eingeschnappt ist. Die Kupplung weist an ihrem zu der Zuführungsleitung gerichteten Ende in Strömungsrichtung hinter der Zentrierplatte eine Dichtplatte mit flexiblen Dichtlippen auf, die zwischen dem Gehäuse der Kupplung und der Zentrierplatte frei beweglich ist. Die Kupplung weist in den Platten jeweils zwei Öffnungen auf, in die jeweils der Anschlussstutzen und einer der Blindstutzen der Zuführleitung einragt. Aufgrund der großen Anzahl an Bauteilen sind aufwendige Dichtungsmaßnahmen notwendig, welche auch nach langem Gebrauch zuverlässig ihre Dichtfunktion bereitstellen müssen. Aufgrund von Alterungsprozessen der verschiedenen Dichtungen ist nicht auszuschließen, dass im Laufe der Zeit Undichtigkeiten auftreten.From the EP 0 796 587 B1 a dishwashing machine of the type mentioned is known in which the clutch when inserting the dish rack due to a freely movable in all directions sealing plate according to the loading of the dish rack different position of the clutch displacements when moving the coupling with the neck of the feed equalizes. The coupling has a housing integrally manufactured with the inlet tube into which a centering plate is snapped as the front end of the coupling in the use position perpendicular and substantially parallel to the feed line. The coupling has at its end directed towards the supply line in the flow direction behind the centering plate to a sealing plate with flexible sealing lips, which is freely movable between the housing of the clutch and the centering plate. The coupling has two openings in the plates, in each of which the connecting piece and one of the blind stub of the supply line protrudes. Due to the large number of components complex sealing measures are necessary, which must reliably provide their sealing function, even after long use. Due to aging processes of the various seals, it can not be ruled out that leaks will occur over time.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Geschirrspülmaschine bereitzustellen, welche eine konstruktiv einfach und zuverlässig funktionierende Kupplungseinrichtung umfasst und welche es ermöglicht, eine Höhenverstellung in mehr als zwei Positionen vorzunehmen.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a dishwasher, which comprises a structurally simple and reliable functioning coupling device and which makes it possible to perform a height adjustment in more than two positions.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Geschirrspülmaschine mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Patentansprüchen.This object is achieved by a dishwasher with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments will be apparent from the dependent claims.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass eine die Zuführleitung und das Zulaufrohr verbindenden Kupplung vorgesehen ist, die in Bezug zur Zuführungsleitung oder zum Zulaufrohr höhenverstellbar ausgebildet ist. Dabei ist die Kupplung als separates Bauteil ausgebildet und unabhängig von der Zuführleitung und/oder dem Zulaufrohr höhenverstellbar ausgebildet. Somit erlaubt die Kupplung sowohl eine Höhenanpassung sowohl in Bezug zu der Zuführleitung als auch in Bezug zu dem Zulaufrohr.This object is achieved in that a connecting the supply line and the inlet pipe coupling is provided with respect to Feed line or height adjustable to the inlet pipe is formed. In this case, the coupling is designed as a separate component and designed to be height-adjustable independently of the supply line and / or the inlet pipe. Thus, the coupling allows both a height adjustment both in relation to the supply line and in relation to the inlet pipe.

Die Funktion einer Andockstelle zwischen einem Zulaufrohr und einer fest an dem Spülbehälter einer Geschirrspülmaschine befestigten Zuführungsleitung wird dadurch bereitgestellt, dass die maximale Höhenverstellung des Oberkorbes durch zwei unterschiedliche höhenverstellbare Bauteile verteilt wird. Hierdurch ist es möglich, den Geschirrkorb in verschiedenen Höheneinstellungen an das Spülwassersystem der Geschirrspülmaschine anzuschließen. Darüber hinaus gestaltet sich die Realisierung der Abdichtung der gegeneinander beweglichen Teile auf einfache Weise. Ferner wird durch die relativ zu der Zuführungsleitung höhenverstellbare Kupplung eine Verschiebung der Kupplung durch unterschiedliche Beladungen des Geschirrkorbes problemlos ausgeglichen, ohne dass Probleme mit der Dichtigkeit auftreten. Die konstruktive Ausgestaltung der Andockstelle erlaubt eine hydraulisch günstige Ausführung, da die Spülflotte lediglich einmal umgelenkt zu werden braucht. Darüber hinaus ist es möglich, gleichmäßige Querschnitte in der Zuführungsleitung, dem Zulaufrohr und der Kupplung bereitzustellen.The function of a docking point between a feed pipe and a fixedly attached to the washing container of a dishwasher feed line is provided by the fact that the maximum height adjustment of the upper basket is distributed by two different height-adjustable components. This makes it possible to connect the dish rack in different height settings to the rinse water system of the dishwasher. In addition, the realization of the sealing of the mutually movable parts designed in a simple manner. Furthermore, a displacement of the clutch by different loadings of the dish rack is easily compensated by the height-adjustable relative to the supply line coupling, without problems with the tightness occur. The structural design of the docking allows a hydraulic favorable design, since the rinsing needs to be redirected only once. In addition, it is possible to provide uniform cross sections in the supply line, the inlet pipe and the coupling.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass ein Anschlussstutzen und wenigstens zwei Blindstutzen am Zulaufrohr angeordnet sind, während die Kupplung entsprechend zwei Durchgänge bildenden Öffnungen aufweist. Es können auch mehr als zwei Blindstutzen vorgesehen sein, wobei eine entsprechende Anzahl von Öffnungen an der Kupplung vorgesehen ist. Anstelle von Blindstutzen können Zuleitungen mit mehr als einem Anschlussstutzen Verwendung finden, die mehr als ein Öffnung der Kupplung mit dem Zulaufrohr verbinden. Alternativ können auch der wenigstens eine Anschlussstutzen und die Blindstutzen an der Kupplung angeordnet sein und das Zulaufrohr wenigstens zwei Durchgänge bildende Öffnungen aufweisen.It is preferably provided that a connecting piece and at least two blind stubs are arranged on the inlet pipe, while the coupling has two openings corresponding to openings. It can also be provided more than two blind stubs, with a corresponding number of openings is provided on the coupling. Instead of blind stubs, supply lines with more than one connecting piece can be used, which connect more than one opening of the coupling with the inlet pipe. Alternatively, the at least one connecting piece and the blind stubs can also be arranged on the coupling and the inlet pipe can have at least two openings forming openings.

Die Kupplung weist eine Kupplungsplatte auf, die in einer Führung zwischen einer ersten unteren und einer zweiten oberen Position verschiebbar gelagert und gehaltert ist. Die Führung kann einstückig und integral mit der Zuführungsleitung ausgebildet sein. Die Führung kann alternativ durch ein separates Bauteil gebildet sein, welches an der Zuführungsleitung befestigt ist und die Führung der Kupplung bzw. Kupplungsplatte an der Zuführungsleitung zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Position ermöglicht.The clutch has a clutch plate which is slidably supported and supported in a guide between a first lower and a second upper position. The guide may be formed integrally and integrally with the supply line. The Guide may alternatively be formed by a separate component, which is attached to the supply line and allows the guidance of the coupling or coupling plate on the supply line between the first and the second position.

Um eine einfache Bedienung der Kupplung zu gewährleisten, ist die Kupplungsplatte im drucklosen Zustand zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Position frei beweglich. Insbesondere sind die Kupplungsplatte und die Zuführungsleitung durch wenigstens eine Noppe beabstandet zueinander angeordnet. Alternativ können auch andere geeignete Abstandsmittel Verwendung finden. Das Vorsehen der Noppe bewirkt, dass die Dichtung im drucklosen Zustand (keine durchströmende Spülflotte) am Zuflussrohr nicht anliegt. So ermöglicht die Noppe ein einfaches Gleiten der Kupplung an der Zuführungsleitung.In order to ensure easy operation of the clutch, the clutch plate is freely movable in the pressureless state between the first and the second position. In particular, the coupling plate and the feed line are spaced apart by at least one nub. Alternatively, other suitable spacing agents may be used. The provision of the nub causes the seal in non-pressurized state (no flowing rinsing liquor) does not abut the inflow pipe. Thus, the knob allows easy sliding of the coupling on the supply line.

Die Zuführungsleitung weist zumindest eine Auslassöffnung auf, die von der Kupplungsplatte überdeckt ist. Dabei ist an der Kupplungsplatte eine umlaufende Dichtlippe angeformt, die, unabhängig von der Position der Kupplungsplatte, die Auslassöffnung der Zuführungsleitung umschließt. Die Dichtungslippe stellt sicher, dass eine Abdichtung zwischen der Kupplungsplatte und der Zuführungsleitung gegeben ist. Die Abmaße der Dichtlippe sind derart bemessen, dass diese im unbelasteten Zustand eine geringfügig kleinere Höhe als die Noppe aufweist, um beim Verschieben der Kupplung relativ zu der Zuführungsleitung lediglich ein Anliegen der Noppe an der Zuführungsleitung zu bewirken. Hierdurch ist sichergestellt, dass die Dichtlippe auch bei einer häufigen Betätigung der Kupplung nicht verschleißt. Beim Verbinden des Zulaufrohres mit der Kupplung wird die Kupplung bei eingeschobenem Geschirrkorb in die Geschirrspülmaschine an die Zuführungsleitung gepresst, so dass die Dichtlippe in Anlage mit der Außenwandung der Zuführungsleitung kommt. Dadurch und aufgrund der im Betrieb herrschenden Druckverhältnisse wird die Dichtlippe an die Zuführungsleitung gepresst und sorgt hierbei für die gewünschte Abdichtung.The supply line has at least one outlet opening which is covered by the coupling plate. In this case, a circumferential sealing lip is integrally formed on the coupling plate, which, regardless of the position of the coupling plate, encloses the outlet opening of the supply line. The sealing lip ensures that there is a seal between the coupling plate and the feed line. The dimensions of the sealing lip are dimensioned such that it has a slightly smaller height than the knob in the unloaded state, in order to effect only a concern of the knob on the supply line when moving the clutch relative to the supply line. This ensures that the sealing lip does not wear even with frequent actuation of the clutch. When connecting the inlet pipe to the coupling, the coupling is pressed with inserted dish rack in the dishwasher to the supply line, so that the sealing lip comes into contact with the outer wall of the supply line. As a result, and due to the pressure conditions prevailing during operation, the sealing lip is pressed against the supply line and ensures the desired sealing.

Die zwei Öffnungen der Kupplung sind jeweils durch einen in Richtung des Zulaufrohrs vorstehenden Auslassstutzen ausgebildet. Die Auslassstutzen können mit einer Dichtung versehen sein, mit der eine dichtende Verbindung zu dem Anschlussstutzen des Zulaufrohrs hergestellt ist, wenn der Anschlussstutzen und der Auslassstutzen miteinander verbunden sind. Da lediglich einer der Auslassstutzen mit dem Anschlussstutzen des Zulaufrohrs verbunden ist, sind an dem Zulaufrohr weiterhin zwei Blindstutzen angeordnet, von denen einer den anderen Auslassstutzen dichtend verschließt. Die Blindstutzen sind in vertikaler Richtung auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Zulaufrohrs angeordnet, wobei bevorzugt die Blindstutzen auf ihrer Außenseite mit einer Dichtung versehen sind. Die Blindstutzen weisen bevorzugt eine topfförmige Gestalt auf, so dass sie möglichst weit in die Auslassstutzen hineinragen, um ein Totvolumen an Spülflotte zu verringern oder gar zu vermeiden. Während die Blindstutzen ins Innere der Auslassstutzen hineinragen, umgreift der Anschlussstutzen des Zulaufrohrs bevorzugt den anderen der beiden Auslassstutzen. Hierdurch können verbesserte hydraulische Bedingungen geschaffen werden, im Vergleich zu einer Anordnung, bei der das Zulaufrohr einen Außendurchmesser aufweist, der in etwa dem Innendurchmesser des Auslassstutzens entspricht.The two openings of the coupling are each formed by a projecting in the direction of the inlet pipe outlet. The outlet ports may be provided with a seal with which a sealing connection is made to the connecting piece of the inlet pipe when the connecting piece and the outlet are connected to each other. Since only one of the outlet is connected to the connecting piece of the inlet pipe, continue to be on the inlet pipe two Blind stub arranged, one of which closes the other outlet nozzle sealing. The blind stubs are arranged in the vertical direction on opposite sides of the inlet pipe, wherein preferably the blind stubs are provided on its outer side with a seal. The blind stubs preferably have a pot-shaped shape, so that they protrude as far as possible into the outlet nozzle in order to reduce or even avoid a dead volume of washing liquor. While the blind stubs protrude into the interior of the outlet, the connecting piece of the inlet pipe preferably surrounds the other of the two outlet stubs. As a result, improved hydraulic conditions can be created, compared to an arrangement in which the inlet pipe has an outer diameter which corresponds approximately to the inner diameter of the outlet nozzle.

Die Geschirrspülmaschine ermöglicht eine Höhenverstellung der Kupplung unabhängig von der Höhenverstellung des Geschirrkorbs und des damit verbundenen Zulaufrohrs, so dass die erwünschte dreifache Höhenverstellung des Geschirrkorbs möglich ist.The dishwasher allows height adjustment of the clutch regardless of the height adjustment of the dish rack and the associated inlet pipe, so that the desired treble height adjustment of the dish rack is possible.

Eine erfindungsgemäße, nicht näher dargestellte Geschirrspülmaschine weist einen nicht dargestellten, in der Höhe verstellbaren Geschirrkorb auf, an dem ein zugeordneter Sprüharm (nicht dargestellt) und dessen Zulaufrohr 20 befestigt sind. In bekannter Weise ist der Sprüharm mittels einer nicht näher erläuterten Lagerung an dem horizontal angeordneten Zulaufrohr 20 gelagert. Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Zulaufrohr 20 mittels einer Kupplung 30 mit einer an einer Seitenwand 1 des Spülbehälters befestigten Zuführungsleitung 10 verbunden. Alternativ hierzu ist auch eine Befestigung an der Rückwand des Spülbehälters möglich. Die Zuführungsleitung 10 weist eine in Richtung zum Zulaufrohr 20 gewandte Öffnung 11 auf.A dishwasher according to the invention, not shown, has a not shown, adjustable in height dish rack on which an associated spray arm (not shown) and its inlet pipe 20 are attached. In known manner, the spray arm is mounted by means of a non-illustrated storage on the horizontally disposed inlet pipe 20. In the present exemplary embodiment, the feed pipe 20 is connected by means of a coupling 30 to a feed line 10 fastened to a side wall 1 of the washing container. Alternatively, an attachment to the rear wall of the washing is possible. The supply line 10 has a facing toward the inlet pipe 20 opening 11.

Die Kupplung 30 umfasst eine Kupplungsplatte 31, welche in einer Führung (nicht dargestellt) an der Zuführungsleitung 10 vertikal in Pfeilrichtung A verschieblich gelagert ist. An der Kupplungsplatte 31 sind zwei in Richtung des Zulaufrohrs 20 vorstehende Auslassstutzen 34, 35 ausgebildet. Die beiden Auslassstutzen 34, 35 sind vertikal übereinander ausgebildet. Auf der, der Zuführungsleitung 10 zugewandten Seite der Kupplungsplatte 31 ist eine Mehrzahl an Noppen 39 vorgesehen, so dass die Kupplungsplatte 31 und die Zuführungsleitung 10 zueinander beabstandet angeordnet sind, wenn die Kupplung 30 an der Zuführungsleitung 10 gelagert ist. Entlang des Umfangs der Kupplungsplatte 31 ist auf der der Zuführungsleitung 10 zugeordneten Seite eine Dichtlippe 38 ausgebildet.The coupling 30 comprises a coupling plate 31, which is mounted in a guide (not shown) on the supply line 10 vertically displaceable in the direction of arrow A. On the coupling plate 31 two projecting in the direction of the inlet pipe 20 outlet nozzle 34, 35 are formed. The two outlet ports 34, 35 are vertically formed one above the other. On the, the supply line 10 facing side of the clutch plate 31 a plurality of nubs 39 is provided so that the clutch plate 31 and the supply line 10 are arranged spaced from each other when the clutch 30 is mounted on the supply line 10. Along the circumference of the coupling plate 31, a sealing lip 38 is formed on the side of the feed line 10 associated side.

Die Kupplung 30 ist zwischen einer ersten unteren und einer zweiten oberen Position vertikal verschiebbar gegenüber der Zuführungsleitung 10 gelagert. Die Abmaße der Kupplungsplatte 31 und die Größe der Öffnung 11 der Zuführungsleitung 10 sind dabei derart bemessen, dass die Öffnung 11 in jeder Stellung von der Dichtungslippe 38 umgeben ist.The clutch 30 is mounted vertically displaceable with respect to the supply line 10 between a first lower and a second upper position. The dimensions of the coupling plate 31 and the size of the opening 11 of the supply line 10 are dimensioned such that the opening 11 is surrounded in any position by the sealing lip 38.

Durch die Mehrzahl an Noppen 39 oder eine andere Art von Abstandshalter oder Noppe ist sichergestellt, dass die Kupplungsplatte im drucklosen Zustand, d.h. wenn keine Spülflotte durch die Zuführungsleitung 10 in das Zulaufrohr 20 gefördert wird, frei zwischen einer ersten unteren und einer zweiten oberen Position verschiebbar ist. Aufgrund der Dimensionierung liegt die Dichtlippe 38 mit ihrem Rand im drucklosen Zustand nicht an der Außenseite der Zuführungsleitung 10 an, so dass die Dichtlippe 38 beim Gleiten der Kupplung entlastet ist. Hierdurch kann der Verschleiß an der Dichtlippe 38 gering gehalten werden.By the plurality of nubs 39 or another type of spacer or knob is ensured that the clutch plate in the pressureless state, i. if no rinsing liquor is conveyed through the feed line 10 into the feed pipe 20, is freely displaceable between a first lower and a second upper position. Due to the dimensioning, the sealing lip 38 with its edge in the non-pressurized state is not on the outside of the supply line 10, so that the sealing lip 38 is relieved when sliding the clutch. As a result, the wear on the sealing lip 38 can be kept low.

Das Zulaufrohr 20 weist einen Anschlussstutzen 23 auf. Dieser hat eine Öffnung, die geringfügig größer als der Außendurchmesser eines der Auslassstutzen 34, 35 ist. In vertikaler Richtung über dem Zulaufrohr 20 und in vertikaler Richtung unterhalb des Zulaufrohrs 20 sind jeweils ein Blindstutzen 21, 22 angeordnet, welche jeweils einen Außendurchmesser haben, der in etwa dem Durchmesser von Öffnungen 32, 33 der Auslassstutzen 34, 35 entspricht.The inlet pipe 20 has a connection piece 23. This has an opening which is slightly larger than the outer diameter of one of the outlet ports 34, 35. In the vertical direction above the inlet pipe 20 and in the vertical direction below the inlet pipe 20 each have a blind stub 21, 22 are arranged, each having an outer diameter which corresponds approximately to the diameter of openings 32, 33 of the outlet nozzle 34, 35.

Für eine zuverlässige Dichtung der Kupplung 30 mit dem Zulaufrohr 20 weisen bevorzugt die Auslassstutzen 34, 35 auf ihrem Außenumfang eine Dichtung, z.B. aus einem Gummi auf. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann die Dichtung auch am Innenumfang des Anschlussstutzens 23 vorgesehen sein. Ebenso ist eine Dichtung auf dem Außenumfang der Blindstutzen 21, 22 vorgesehen, welche sich im verbundenen Zustand mit der Kupplung 30 ins Innere der Auslassstutzen 34 hineinragen. Die topfförmige Gestalt der Blindstutzen 21, 22 bringt dabei den Vorteil mit sich, dass das Totwasservolumen reduziert werden kann.For a reliable seal of the coupling 30 with the inlet tube 20, preferably the outlet ports 34, 35 on its outer periphery a seal, e.g. out of a rubber. Alternatively or additionally, the seal may also be provided on the inner circumference of the connecting piece 23. Likewise, a seal on the outer circumference of the blind stub 21, 22 is provided, which protrude in the connected state with the coupling 30 into the interior of the outlet 34. The cup-shaped design of the blind stub 21, 22 brings with it the advantage that the dead water volume can be reduced.

Vor Inbetriebnahme der Geschirrspülmaschine wird nach Beladen des Geschirrkorbes mit zu reinigendem Spülgut dieser auf nicht gezeigten Führungsschienen in dem Spülbehälter eingeschoben. Dabei wird der Anschlussstutzen 23 mit einem der Auslassstutzen 34, 35 gekoppelt und gleichzeitig einer der Blindstutzen 21, 22 mit dem anderen der Auslassstutzen 34, 35. Je nach Höheneinstellung des Geschirrkorbs und Stellung der Kupplung 30 in der ersten unteren oder der zweiten oberen Position ergeben sich im Ergebnis drei mögliche Kupplungsvarianten, die in den Fig. 2a bis 2d dargestellt sind.Before the dishwashing machine is started up, after the crockery basket has been loaded with items to be cleaned, it is pushed onto guide rails, not shown, in the washing container. In this case, the connecting piece 23 is coupled to one of the outlet ports 34, 35 and at the same time one of the blind stoppers 21, 22 with the other of the outlet ports 34, 35. Depending on the height adjustment of the dish rack and position of the clutch 30 in the first lower or the second upper position result As a result, three possible coupling variants, which in the Fig. 2a to 2d are shown.

In lediglich schematischer Weise sind jeweils die Auslassstutzen 34, 35 der Kupplung 30 sowie die Blindstutzen 21, 22 und der Anschlussstutzen 23 des Zulaufrohrs 20 dargestellt. Ferner dargestellt ist ein Abschnitt der Zuführungsleitung 10, so dass die relative Höhenstellung der Kupplung 30 und des Zulaufrohrs 20 erkennbar sind.In a merely schematic manner, in each case the outlet ports 34, 35 of the coupling 30 and the blind stubs 21, 22 and the connecting piece 23 of the inlet pipe 20 are shown. Further shown is a portion of the supply line 10, so that the relative height position of the coupling 30 and the inlet pipe 20 can be seen.

In Fig. 2a befindet sich die Kupplung 30 in ihrer zweiten oberen Stellung, während sich der Geschirrkorb in einer mittleren Höhenposition befindet. Hierbei ist der Auslassstutzen 23 dem unteren Auslassstutzen 35 und der obere Blindstutzen 21 dem oberen Auslassstutzen 34 zugeordnet.In Fig. 2a is the clutch 30 in its second upper position, while the crockery basket is in a middle height position. In this case, the outlet nozzle 23 is assigned to the lower outlet nozzle 35 and the upper dummy nozzle 21 to the upper outlet nozzle 34.

In der mittleren Höhenposition ist das Zulaufrohr 20 auch mit der Kupplung 30 verbindbar, wenn sich diese in ihrer ersten unteren Position befindet. Hierbei ist der Anschlussstutzen 23 des Zulaufrohrs 20 dem oberen Auslassstutzen 34 zugeordnet. Der untere Blindstutzen 22 des Zulaufrohrs 20 ist dem unteren Auslassstutzen 35 zugeordnet. Dies ist in Figur 2b dargestellt.In the middle height position, the inlet pipe 20 is also connectable to the coupling 30 when it is in its first lower position. In this case, the connecting piece 23 of the inlet pipe 20 is assigned to the upper outlet pipe 34. The lower blind stub 22 of the inlet pipe 20 is assigned to the lower outlet stub 35. This is in FIG. 2b shown.

In Fig. 2c ist der Geschirrkorb mit dem daran angeordneten Zulaufrohr in einer oberen Höhenposition. Ebenso befindet sich die Kupplung 30 in ihrer zweiten oberen Position. Wie ohne weiteres ersichtlich ist, findet eine mechanische Kopplung zwischen dem Anschlussstutzen 23 und oberen Auslassstutzen 34 sowie dem unteren Blindstutzen 22 und dem unteren Auslassstutzen 35 statt.In Fig. 2c is the crockery basket with the inlet pipe arranged thereon in an upper height position. Likewise, the clutch 30 is in its second upper position. As is readily apparent, there is a mechanical coupling between the spigot 23 and upper outlet port 34 and the lower blind port 22 and the lower outlet port 35 instead.

Fig. 2d zeigt den Geschirrkorb in einer dritten, unteren Höhenposition, wobei die Kupplung 30 ebenfalls in ihrer ersten unteren Position angeordnet ist. Hierbei wird der obere Auslassstutzen 34 durch den Blindstutzen 21 verschlossen, während der Anschlussstutzen 23 mit dem Auslassstutzen 35 verbunden wird. Fig. 2d shows the dish rack in a third, lower height position, the clutch 30 is also disposed in its first lower position. Here, the upper outlet port 34 is closed by the blind stub 21, while the connecting piece 23 is connected to the outlet port 35.

Wenn der Geschirrkorb in den Spülbehälter eingeschoben ist und eine Kopplung der Kupplung 30 mit dem Zulaufrohr 20 in einer der oben beschriebenen Varianten erfolgt, wird - beispielsweise durch das Schließen der Tür des Spülbehälters - die Kupplung gegen die Zuführungsleitung 10 gepresst. Hierdurch gelangt die Dichtlippe 38 in Anlage mit der Außenwandung der Zuführungsleitung 10 und sorgt für eine ausreichende Abdichtung.When the dish rack is inserted into the washing container and a coupling of the coupling 30 with the inlet pipe 20 takes place in one of the variants described above, the coupling is pressed against the feed line 10, for example by closing the door of the washing container. As a result, the sealing lip 38 comes into contact with the outer wall of the supply line 10 and ensures adequate sealing.

Die Erfindung weist den Vorteil einer hydraulisch günstigen Ausführung auf, da die Spülflotte lediglich ein einziges Mal einer Umlenkung um im Wesentlichen 90 ° unterzogen wird. Entgegen der zeichnerischen Darstellung gemäß Fig. 1 kann in dem Zuführungsrohr 10 der obere Rand der Öffnung 11 mit einer entsprechenden Gehäusewandung verbunden sein und die Zuführungsleitung 10 nach oben hin abschließen. Weiterhin vorteilhaft ist, dass im Wesentlichen gleiche Querschnitte in der Zuführungsleitung 10, der Kupplung 30 und dem Zulaufrohr 20 vorgesehen werden können. Die Andocklösung beansprucht im zugeordneten Geschirrkorb wenig Platz, da lediglich der nach oben ragende Blindstutzen eine Störgeometrie darstellt. Es ist ferner ein Gewichtsausgleich des Geschirrkorbs durch das vertikal verschiebbare Kupplungselement möglich, wobei dieses stufenlos erfolgen kann. Hierdurch kann eine variable Durchbiegung aufgrund des gewichtsmäßig belasteten Geschirrkorbs ausgeglichen werden. Darüber hinaus ist das Verschlussstopfenprinzip ein zuverlässig erprobtes System, wobei insbesondere keine bewegten Dichtungen im Bereich der Auslassstutzen notwendig sind. Zur Abdichtung wird eine gemeinsame Dichtlippe verwendet, welche aufgrund des vorgesehenen Abstandshalters im unbelasteten Zustand Reibungsverluste bei der Höhenverstellung minimiert.The invention has the advantage of a hydraulically favorable design, since the rinsing liquor is only once subjected to a deflection by substantially 90 °. Contrary to the drawing according to Fig. 1 can be connected in the feed tube 10, the upper edge of the opening 11 with a corresponding housing wall and the supply line 10 close upwards. It is furthermore advantageous that substantially identical cross sections can be provided in the feed line 10, the coupling 30 and the feed tube 20. The docking solution takes up little space in the associated crockery basket, since only the upwardly projecting blind stub represents an interfering geometry. It is also possible to balance the weight of the dish rack by the vertically displaceable coupling element, this can be done continuously. As a result, a variable deflection due to the weight-loaded crockery basket can be compensated. In addition, the sealing plug principle is a reliably tested system, in particular no moving seals in the region of the outlet nozzles are necessary. For sealing, a common sealing lip used, which minimizes friction losses in the height adjustment due to the provided spacer in the unloaded state.
