Definitions
- the present invention relates to sprinkling assemblies for dishwashers, and in particular to a sprinkling assembly comprising a primary revolving sprinkler and a secondary sprinkler capable of moving with an oscillatory motion in the horizontal plane.
- conventional revolving sprinklers essentially consist of a single device pivoted on a vertical axis central shaft and provided with at least one propulsion nozzle at one end, as well as with other nozzles arranged along said device to sprinkle the dishes contained in the dishwasher rack. Since the rotation axis of said device is fixed, the resulting paths of the nozzles consist of circumferences centered on the rotation axis.
- the above-mentioned device directly sprinkles always and only the surfaces of the dishes which are along said circular paths, with a limited washing effectiveness.
- the area which can be reached by the water ejected from the nozzles approximately corresponds to the area of the square circumscribed about the circular path of the outermost nozzle.
- the inclined jet coming out from a propulsion end nozzle of the sprinkler generates a reaction force which can be broken up in the horizontal plane into a first component along the longitudinal axis of the sprinkler and a second component along a direction perpendicular thereto. While this second component is the one which generates the rotation of the sprinkler, the component along the longitudinal axis is discharged on the shaft located at the end of the support arm. This results, therefore, in a horizontal rotation of said arm pivoted on the vertical axis of the feed duct, moving alternately from right to left and backwards according to the rotation of the sprinkler, i.e. according to the direction from which the axial component arrives on the sprinkler shaft.
- This arrangement allows to sprinkle also the outermost dishes when they are arranged in a rectangular tank and also increases the surface directly sprinkled by the jets emitted from the nozzles, since thanks to the combination of the revolving motion of the sprinkler with the reciprocating motion the nozzle paths have a much more complex development.
- the revolving and reciprocating motions of the sprinkler are mutually bound, i.e. at each rotation of the sprinkler corresponds a translation thereof due to the oscillation of the support arm.
- EP 1201178 provides a sprinkling assembly wherein the ratio between the revolving frequency of the sprinkler and the oscillating frequency of the support arm is no longer one but much greater.
- the support arm is provided with two opposite nozzles suitable to emit jets that cause the oscillation of the arm, the emission of said jets being controlled by a rotating shutter whose rotation is controlled by the rotation of the sprinkler through a lower ring externally provided with a tooth suitable to engage with an adjacent horizontal toothed wheel which is integral with the shutter.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a revolving sprinkling assembly that overcomes the above-mentioned limits of prior art sprinklers.
- the fundamental advantage of the sprinkling assembly according to the present invention resides in its greater simplicity, inexpensiveness and reliability obtained thanks to the elimination of the cantilevered support arm and to the coaxial arrangement of the two sprinklers in the middle of the wash tank.
- a further advantage stems from the possibility of easily setting within a certain range the transmission ratio between the two sprinklers, i.e. the time interval between the oscillations of the secondary sprinkler.
- the sprinkling assembly essentially consists of a primary revolving sprinkler 1 and a secondary oscillating sprinkler 2, with the former coaxially pivoted on the latter which is in turn pivoted on a support 3 arranged at the end of a water supply duct (not shown).
- sprinkler 1 is centrally snap-fitted on sprinkler 2 through a bottom ring 4 that engages a top socket 5 of sprinkler 2, which is in turn centrally snap-fitted through a bottom ring 6 that engages support 3 and is in communication with the top socket 5.
- the supply duct reaching support 3 feeds both sprinklers 1 and 2.
- the primary sprinkler 1 is a conventional hollow sprinkler with two opposite arms provided with a wash and propulsion nozzle 1a at the end of each arm and with wash nozzles 1b along its length, which substantially corresponds to the shorter side of the rectangular tank in which it is located (the width in the illustrated example).
- the secondary sprinkler 2 has a shape similar to the primary sprinkler 1 but, on the contrary, its length substantially corresponds to the longer side of the rectangular tank (the length in the illustrated example) and it is provided only with wash and propulsion nozzles in the end portions projecting beyond the primary sprinkler 1, said nozzles being arranged in two opposite pairs 2a, 2b at the end of the first arm and two opposite pairs 2c, 2d at the end of the second arm.
- the secondary sprinkler 2 is an oscillating sprinkler that alternately moves in the two directions thanks to the push of the jets sequentially emitted from the end nozzles 2a, 2b, 2c and 2d as explained hereafter.
- a fraction of the pressurised water arriving through the supply duct and support 3 rather than flowing into the primary sprinkler 1 is laterally diverted into a chamber 7, open at the top, which is formed in the first arm of the secondary sprinkler 2 next to the top socket 5.
- Said chamber 7 has four lateral openings 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d putting it into communication with four ducts 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d extending in the two arms between chamber 7 and nozzles 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d respectively.
- the bottom ring 4 of the primary sprinkler 1 is externally provided with a tooth 4a that at each rotation of sprinkler 1 engages an adjacent horizontal toothed wheel 9 which is integral with an underlying cylindrical shutter 10.
- Said shutter 10 is provided with a lateral opening 10a and rotatably snap-fitted within chamber 7 so as to close it at the top and allow the water out only through said lateral opening 10a.
- opening 10a has a size equal to the size of openings 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d and when it is aligned with one of said openings it allows the water to flow out into the relevant duct 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d so as to reach the respective end nozzles 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d.
- opening 10a arrives at opening 7b whereby the water can flow into duct 8b and reach nozzles 2b generating jets that cause a clockwise oscillation opposite to the preceding one, thus taking the secondary sprinkler 2 back to the position of Fig.5 .
- This position is obviously also defined by an end stop and along the path nozzles 2b sprinkle the rear portion of the wash tank.
- the oscillating cycle of the secondary sprinkler 2 is completed with a similar back-and-forth oscillatory movement when the following rotations of shutter 10 take opening 10a into alignment first with opening 7c and then with opening 7d, whereby the water is emitted from nozzles 2c, 2d that sprinkle the front portion of the wash tank not covered by the nozzles of the primary sprinkler 1.
- this simple structural arrangement allows to oscillate the secondary sprinkler 2 only every three rotations of the primary sprinkler 1, and it is also clear that it is sufficient to change the number of teeth of wheel 9 and/or of ring 4 to change said oscillating frequency.
- openings 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d and/or an opening 10a having a greater width e.g. extending over an arc of rotation of 60° rather than 30° such that chamber 7 remains in communication with the respective duct 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d through two rotations of the primary sprinkler 1.
- the rotating shutter 10 could be provided with a second opening 10a diametrically opposite to the first opening illustrated above so as to put chamber 7 in communication simultaneously with the two arms, i.e. with ducts 8a, 8c or ducts 8b, 8d. In this way it is possible to achieve the sprinkling of both the front portion and the rear portion of the wash tank at every oscillation of the secondary sprinkler 2.
- the members defining the oscillating frequency of the secondary sprinkler 2' namely ring 4, chamber 7', toothed wheel 9 and rotating shutter 10 may remain the same or be consequently changed, providing a different transmission ratio and/or openings greater in number and/or larger in size.
- the oscillating frequency of the secondary sprinkler 2' is reduced by half.
- the illustrated embodiments relating to a sprinkling assembly located at the bottom of the tank under the bottom rack are mere examples, since the same structure can be similarly applied in other ways.
- the sprinkling assembly can be located also above the top rack by turning it upside down, since in that case support 3 extends downwards from the tank ceiling and the sprinkling takes place from above, or below the top rack by swapping the positions of the primary and secondary sprinklers since in that case support 3 extends downwards from the top rack and the sprinkling takes place from below.
