Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dishwashing machine having a program option to modify the washing cycle, and to a dishwashing cycle which provides an optimized dishwashing procedure, in particular for heavily soiled articles to be washed in the dishwasher.
  • DE 199 57 243 A1 discloses a dishwasher having an option button for the use of a three-in-one combi-detergent tablet and a washing cycle specifically adapted to optimize the washing result using a three-in-one combi-detergent tablet.
  • the control unit modifies a standard dishwashing cycle including a pre-wash and a main wash in that an optimum time and temperature profile is used during the washing cycle.
  • a first component of the three-in-one tablet is dissolved during a cold pre-wash.
  • a second component is dissolved during a first portion of the main wash using a washing temperature of 40°C.
  • a third component is dissolved during a second portion of the main wash heating the washing liquid to a temperature of 60°C.
  • the dissolving of the components of the three-in-one tablet is optimized on the one side and on the other side the respective component is used at its optimum activation temperature such that the washing result on the articles placed in the dishwasher is also optimized.
  • the composition of such a tablet (amount of the detergent component and the resolving time of the three-in-one tablet) is selected for an average load of the dishwasher and an average soiling of the articles.
  • a pre-treatment detergent is added to a washing compartment of a dishwasher, which is particularly useful to clean heavily soiled articles to be washed, for example pots and pans where food remainders are partially burned in.
  • a pre-treatment wash or phase may be designated as 'power-booster phase' which provides a period of intense washing to remove soiling which in conventional dishwashing cycles is normally not completely removed.
  • the pre-treatment phase may be an introductory period during the main wash (claim 2) which provides optimum conditions for the pre-treatment detergent.
  • the main wash detergent is added with a delay from the start of the pre-treatment phase and it is best added when the pre-treatment phase has been finished and the main wash is resuming its normal conditions.
  • the pre-treatment wash or phase is only activated when an option for the dishwashing cycle has been selected, for example by the user pressing a corresponding pre-treatment option button at the console of the dishwasher.
  • the main wash detergent for the main wash or the master phase of the main wash is added to a washing compartment of the dishwasher as soon as the pre-treatment wash or phase is finished.
  • optimum washing conditions can also be set for the main wash detergent and there is no interference between the pre-treatment detergent and the main wash detergent, or the interference is at least minimized.
  • the temperature of the washing liquid is set in the range of 30°C-65°C, preferably in the range of 40°C-55°C, which is an optimum activity range, if for example the pre-treatment detergent comprises enzymes or a bleaching component.
  • the washing liquid temperature in a first time period during the pre-treatment wash is in the range of 30°C-50°C, in which for example enzymes have their optimum activity.
  • the temperature in a second time period the temperature is set in the range of 40°C-80°C, in which for example the bleaching component has its optimum activity. So two components of the pre-treatment detergent are activated separately and the mutual interferences, for example by destroying the enzymes at higher washing liquid temperatures, are avoided.
  • the washing liquid temperature is successively raised in distinct temperature steps or continuously raised.
  • a pre-wash phase of a conventional dishwashing cycle is replaced by said pre-treatment wash when an option selection is made for pre-treatment.
  • the pre-treatment wash or phase is finished by completely or partially replacing the soiled washing liquid.
  • the degree of soiling of the washing liquid is preferably determined by a soiling detector so that the need and extent of replacing soiled washing liquid by fresh water is determined in dependence of the soiling degree.
  • an input unit includes a pre-treatment option, for example a pre-treatment button or a pre-treatment menu option by which the pre-treatment wash is activated.
  • a control unit of the dishwasher modifies the washing cycle to include a pre-treatment wash or a pre-treatment phase which optimizes the washing result when using a pre-treatment detergent.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates a block diagram of a control section and functional components of the dishwasher.
  • a control unit 1 controls the operation of the dishwasher by sending control signals to the functional components of the dishwasher and by receiving detection signals from sensors of the dishwasher.
  • a draining pump 2 is activated by the control unit 1 to completely or partially drain the washing liquid out of the washing compartment (not shown) of the dishwasher.
  • a water inlet valve 3 is opened and closed under the control of the control unit to fill fresh water into the washing compartment.
  • a heater 4 heats the washing liquid to a temperature set by the control unit 1 and as detected by a temperature sensor 7 which sends the temperature signal to the control unit.
  • a detergent for the main wash is supplied into the washing compartment by a first dispenser 5 and a pre-treatment detergent is supplied into the washing compartment by a second dispenser 6.
  • Both dispensers 5, 6 can have spring-biased lids which are released by a solenoid activated by the control unit 1.
  • the degree of soiling or the contamination of the washing liquid is detected by a turbidity sensor 8 which sends a respective turbidity signal to the control unit.
  • a conductivity sensor for detecting the degree of soiling of the washing liquid could be used instead.
  • Program options for the dishwashing cycle are set at an operation panel 9 which supplies the option selection signal(s) to the control unit and in turn shows the selected option or specific states of the dishwashing machine and the washing cycle state at a display (not shown) of the operation panel 9. If for example in addition to a standard washing cycle including a pre-wash, the pre-treatment option button has been pressed at the operation panel 9, the pre-wash is skipped from the washing cycle and instead of it a pre-treatment phase is performed prior to starting the main wash phase.
  • FIG. 2 An example of a washing cycle including a pre-treatment wash (P1+P2) and a main wash (M) which is succeeded by a rinsing (R) is depicted in Fig. 2 .
  • the pre-treatment detergent can be directly poured into the washing compartment, e.g. to the bottom of the washing compartment.
  • the first phase P1 of the pre-treatment period is continued from time to to t 1 , while the liquid temperature is heated to and held at temperature T 1 .
  • a second phase P2 of the pre-treatment period lasting from time t 1 to t 2 the washing liquid is heated from temperature T 1 to temperature T 2 by the heater 4.
  • the pre-treatment period is finished and depending on the signal of the turbidity sensor 8 washing liquid from the dishwasher is drained or not. For example, if there is no or only a low level of detected turbidity, no liquid is drained (saving liquid) and the main wash period M is continued with the washing liquid of the pre-treatment period, possibly by adding additional fresh water. If a medium level of soiling of the washing liquid is detected, only a part of the washing liquid is drained and replaced by fresh water. This case is depicted in Fig. 2 where in the time period t 2 to t 2 ' (phase E) washing liquid is drained and fresh water (from time t2') is successively refilled to the washing compartment.
  • the washing liquid is completely drained out of the washing compartment and fresh water is filled in up to a predetermined level.
  • the washing liquid during the main wash period M is heated to a third temperature T 3 and the articles placed in the washing compartment are conventionally cleaned.
  • the control unit 1 activates the first dispenser 5 to supply the main wash detergent into the washing compartment.
  • the main wash period M lasts from time t 2 to t 3 .
  • the rinsing period R starts by completely draining the washing liquid.
  • the rinsing period R is only shown in the starting phase and is performed in a conventional way.
