Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a water diverter for a water-conducting household appliance according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • water switches are used to control liquid flows in water-bearing household appliance.
  • water softeners serve to deliver washing or rinsing water, for example, to a first or a second rinsing chamber of two rinsing chambers.
  • water softeners serve to deliver rinsing water, also called rinsing liquors, for example, alternatively to a spray arm for an upper basket or to a spray arm for a lower basket of the respective dishwasher or at the same time to both spray arms.
  • a rotatable spool which connects by means of a pivot tube an inlet channel with one of a plurality of drain channels.
  • the pivot tube has a pivot pin which is arranged in the manner of a ball joint in a socket of the inlet channel.
  • a hollow cylindrical sealing member is fixed, which slides in a cylindrical concentric with the lateral surface of the housing extending guide.
  • such a mechanical sealing device is only suitable for sealing in a cylindrical housing.
  • the prior art mechanical sealing device of this type is not suitable for sealing through-holes passing through a flat rotary disk with respect to fluid discharge lines facing this flat rotary disk.
  • an undesirable pressure loss in the water flow to be distributed by the deflection by means of the pivot tube occur.
  • Another known water switch ( DE 101 33 130 A1 ) consists of a in the pressure chamber of a circulating pump before branching pressure port arranged rotary valve for locking and releasing the discharge nozzle for rinsing liquid and located outside and inside the pressure chamber drive for the rotary valve.
  • the rotary valve in question is formed by a cylindrical member, in the cylinder wall, there are one or more apertures between one and more movable closure elements with valve function.
  • the apertures and the closure elements are in their relative position with respect to the discharge nozzle, the water inlet or water outlet nozzle formed so that depending on the rotation of the rotary valve, the cylinder wall opposite the discharge nozzle are released or sealed off sealing.
  • this known sealing device is also suitable only for the sealing of openings provided in a cylinder wall.
  • the prior art mechanical sealing device of this type is not suitable for sealing through-holes passing through a flat rotary disk with respect to fluid discharge lines facing this flat rotary disk.
  • an unwanted pressure loss occurs in the water flow to be distributed by its deflection in the mentioned rotary valve even in this known water switch.
  • Another known water switch ( US 5,331,986 ) has a rotatable valve body, a radially arranged inlet and a plurality of axially arranged outlets on. On the side facing the inlet of the valve body, a fluid chamber is provided, so that the water gate requires an undesirably large space. In addition, the fluid undergoes a deflection of 90 ° on its way from the inlet to the outlet, so that a significant pressure drop occurs.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a water diverter for a water-conducting household appliance, in particular a dishwasher or washing machine, with reduced pressure loss.
  • the invention relates to a water-conducting household appliance, in particular dishwashing or washing machine, at least comprising a water separator, which is formed by an adjustable fluid distribution body provided with one or more through openings.
