- a series of three electrical resistance heating elements 60 extend longitudinally within the tank 45. These heaters are high capacity, for example approximately 3.5 kw., for quickly heating the water within the tank 45.
- a motor is supported within the motor chamber 32 by a tubular housing 66 which is mounted on the inlet portion 67 of a pump housing 68 projecting upwardly through the bottom wall opening 29, and having an outer flange secured to the bottom wall 25.
- the motor 65 includes a shaft 69 which extends downwardly through the inlet portion 67 to support a centrifugal impeller 70 within the pump housing 68.
- the discharge outlet 71 (FIG. 5) of the pump housing 68 is connected by a flexible conduit 72 to the lower end portion of a manifold 74 projecting downwardly through a hole formed in the bottom wall 25 at the center of the substantially square chamber 30.

- a pair of tabs 88 (FIGS. 4 and 6) are secured to the lower edge portion of the intermediate wall 22, and supports a long perforated strainer 90 (FIGS. 4 and 5) through its vertical flange portion 91 which has openings for receiving the tabs 88.
- the lower portion 92 of the strainer slopes downwardly to rest upon the bottom wall 25 of the tank 15, and covers the entire opening beneath the wall 22 and the bottom wall.
- a solenoid actuated rinse agent dispenser 95 (FIG. 4) is mounted on the intermediate wall 22 and projects into the motor compartment or chamber 32.
- the dispenser 95 includes a container 96 having an upper inlet 97 (FIG. 6) which projects into the chamber 30 so that it can be conveniently filled with liquid rinse agent.
- the container 96 has a lower outlet 98 (FIG. 6) through which the rinse agent is dispensed in predetermined quantities into the cleansing chamber 30 by energizing the solenoid 99 (FIG. 4).
- the intermediate wall 22 also supports a solenoid actuated sanitizer dispensing unit 100 having an outlet 101 (FIG.
- a removable cover plate 102 forms the front wall of the motor chamber 32 and a removable cover plate 103 forms the lower front wall of the cabinet 15.
- a pair of parallel spaced tracks 104 are supported by rollers (not shown) mounted on the lower edge portions of the end wall 17 and intermediate wall 22 and extend within the cleansing chamber 30 to support a generally square rack 105 (FIG. 1) preferably formed of wire with a suitable resilient coating thereon and having a coarse mesh bottom portion 106 surrounded by a rail 107.
- the rack is adapted to be moved between a position within the chamber 30 over the spray arm 75 to a position (FIG. 2) extending over the open door 40 to provide for convenient loading and unloading the rack with articles such as glasses and dishes.
- Washing apparatus constructed in accordance with the foregoing description has a number of desirable features and advantages.
- the intermediate wall 22 to divide the cabinet 15 into the cleaning chamber 30 and motor compartment chamber 32 and by spacing the lower edge of the intermediate wall 22 above the sloping bottom wall 25, the construction of the cabinet 15 and the operation and arrangement of the recirculating system is substantially simplified. That is, the water distributed by the spray arm 75 returns quickly to the inlet of the pump 68 as a result of the sloping configuration of the bottom wall 25 and the large area of the filter 90 and thereby minimizes the volume of water required for each cycle of operation.
- the intermediate wall 22 provides a convenient support for the dispensers 95 and 100 and for the removable filter 90.
- the simplified construction of the cabinet 15 is also provided by forming the end walls 16 and 17 integral with the top wall 18 and forming the intermediate wall 22 integrally with the rear wall 20.
- Another important feature of the dishwashing apparatus of the invention is provided by attaching the water heating tank 45 to the underneath surface of the bottom wall 25 so that the bottom wall 25 forms the top wall of the tank 45.
- FIG. 7 A typical control circuit for the apparatus is shown in FIG. 7, and the timing chart of FIG. 8 should be considered at the same time since it represents the positions of the various timer cams during a typical operating cycle.
- the tank 45 is filled with water, and likewise that a heated charge of water is in the bottom of the washing chamber. This can readily be accomplished by running the machine quickly through an operating cycle without any articles to be cleansed in the rack, as will be understood from the following description.
- This switch is manually operated, and is located on the cover plate 102, as shown in FIG. 1. Once the machine is placed in operation this switch is moved to the closed position and remains closed until the machine is shut down. Closing of this switch applies power to the timing and control circuit through lines 114 and 115 respectively.
- the line 114 may be considered as the common or bus lines, and it is also included in the heater control circuit for the heater elements 60 which are connected to the master switch through a line 116 that is parallel to the timing control circuit, and includes a thermostat switch 118. This switch is shown in its cold position during which electrical power is supplied to the heater element. A typical location of the thermostatic switch is shown in FIG. 4.
- switch 118 transfers to complete a circuit through line 120, as is described hereafter.
- line 115 there is a normally open door interlock switch 122 which is closed when the door 40 is moved to its closed position. Closing of the switch completes a circuit to the cam controlled switch 125 which operates under the control of the timer cam P.
- This is a double throw switch and the cams in the timer are constructed and arranged such that 180 of rotation can actuate the apparatus through a complete cycle.
- each of the cams except for the cam P is duplicated once around its periphery so that a full rotation of the timer actually corresponds to two operating cycles of the apparatus.
- the cam P moves the switch 125 to one of its contacts in one cycle and to the other of its contacts during the next cycle, hence in FIG. 8 a segment of the second cycle is shown to indicate that the other half of the cam P has transferred switch 125 during the next succeeding cycle.
- the remainder of the diagram for the next cycle is omitted since it is merely a duplicate of what is shown.
- the cycle starting switch 127 is a manually operated double throw switch also located on the cover plate 103 (FIG. 1) and it is shown in FIG. 7 in a position such as it would occupy just prior to beginning a cycle. Its contacts are connected respectively to the alternate contacts of the cam switch 125, hence moving the switch 127 to whichever circuit is energized by the cam switch 125 will begin operation of a cycle.
- the timer cam D closes its normally open switch 133, completing a circuit from line 130 through the drain valve solenoid 80a. This actuates the drain valve 80 and the pump in continuing to operate acts to assist the drain operation until the liquid head in the wash chamber drops to the point where further drainage is essentially by gravity.
- the time duration during which the drain valve is energized is shown in FIG. 8 opposite the bar corresponding to cam D.
- the timer advances cam F to close a normally open timer switch 134 which will energize the solenoid 55a of the fill valve 55 (see FIG. 4).
- the other fill valve solenoid 50b is not connccted into the circuit, and the direct connection of the fill valve to tube 57 is not used.
- the circuit from line 130 to the fill control cam switch 134 includes a contact of a double pole, double throw manual switch 135, which likewise is mounted on the cover plate 103 (FIG. 1). In normal operation this switch is in the position shown. It is moved manually to its other position when it is desired to drain the machine at the end of operation, as is explained hereafter.
- solenoid 55a is energized water from the supply enters the tank 45 through tube 47, and this in turn forces the heated water from this tank through the tube 57 and the inlet 51 into the chamber of the machine. It should be noted that the pump continues to operate at this time. After the fill operation has continued for some time, the cams SA and RA close their respective normally open switches 137 and 138, and this in turn completes circuits through the rinse agent dispenser solenoid 99, via switch 138, and through the solenoid a of the sanitizing agent dispenser, via switch 137.
- switch 137 remains closed in the normal operation somewhat longer (see FIG. 8) since the functioning of the sanitizing agent dispenser requires a certain amount of time for the measured amount of liquid sanitizer agent to drain through its outlet 101 into the washing chamber.
- the switch 138 may be opened and closed several times, for example three times as shown in FIG. 8, by the cam RA. This causes several pulses of the rinse agent dispenser in order to meter a sufficient quantity of the rinse agent into the washing chamber. In some cases it has been found that rinse agents of higher concentration are available, and that only one pulsing of the dispenser will provide an adequate amount of rinse agent.
- a manually operated switch 131 normally open, is connected in a circuit from the one solenoid 99 to the other solenoid 100a, hence the cam SA will effectively take over control of the solenoid 99 when this switch is closed, and there will be only one effective injecting pulse of the rinse agent dispenser.
- the switch 139 can be mounted in any conventional point within the chamber 32.
- the treated liquid is recirculated over the articles in rack 25 from the remainder of the cycle, producing an effective rinsing of the articles and for the action of the sanitizer agent, and elimination of essentially all bacteria.
- the cam P transfers switch to its opposite contact, effectively opening the main power circuit at the manual switch 127, and the timer motor TM is deenergized.
- the treated water is held in the Wash chamber and system for use as wash liquid in the next cycle.
- switch 127 is transferred to its opposite contact, and the sequence is the same except that the switch 125 is now at its opposite position as indicated by the bar diagram P2.
- the drain control switch is transferred to complete a circuit through line to the timer motor TM, and operation of switch 127 will start the pump motor and also the inner motor, however, power can be supplied only through the cam switch 133 to the drain valve solenoid 80a, hence the machine will drain itself, but will not fill nor dispense any rinsing or sanitizing agent, but merely run to the end of the timer cycle and stop.
- FIGS. 9 and 10 show a modified circuit diagram in which the second fill valve solenoid 55b is employed, and the articles are rinsed with essentially unheated water with which sanitizing and rinsing agents are mixed. Where applicable the same reference numerals are used for identical parts and circuits. Essentially there are three differences between the circuit shown in FIG. 7 and that shown in FIG. 9. The timer cam T and its associated switch 122 are connected somewhat differently, the manually operated drain control switch 135 is eliminated since it is not necessary, and an additional cam F-2 and associated switch is employed to control energizing of the fill valve solenoid 55b. The cam controlling fill valve solenoid 55a thus is marked with the reference F-l.
- Closing the master switch 112 completes a circuit to a switch 231 which is controlled by the timer cam T, and at the same time the circuit through line 116 and thermostatic switch 118 is completed.
- switch 118 transfers to supply power to the circuit line 220 which leads to the door switch 22.
- actuating switch 127 will complete the starting cycle as before, and the pump motor 65 will immediately be energized, along with the timer motor TM.
- the cam P is so arranged that as the timer advances it continues to hold switch 125 in the same position, hence the cycle continues, and the cam T closes switch 231 to complete a circuit bypassing the thermostatic switch and connecting the door switch 122 directly to the master switch. This continues supply of power even though the thermostatic switch will subsequently go to its cold contact as additional water is supplied to the heater tank 45.
- cam F1 closes switch 134 at the same time that cam T closes switch 231.
- the fill valve solenoid 55a is energized and fresh water is supplied through line 58 and the tube 47 into the tank 45, displacing the heated water into the wash chamber.
- This heated water is circulated over the articles in the chamber, and may mix with detergent placed in the chamber before the door is closed, if desired.
- cam D energized the drain valve solenoid 80a and the chamber is drained of the hot wash water.
- the cam F-2 closes switch 234 to complete a circuit energizing the fill valve solenoid 5512.
- cam F-2 again causes drainage and additional fresh water is supplied directly to the wash chamber.
- the cam SA closes switch 137 to energize the sanitizer dispenser solenoid 100a, and the cam RA closes switch 138 several times to repeatedly energize the rinse agent dispenser solenoid 99.
- the manual selector switch 139 is provided as before, for selecting one long energization of the rinse agent dispenser if this is desired.
- cam D again closes switch 133 to energize the drain valve and finally drain the chamber, at the end of which the cycle is completed. In a typical machine, this entire cycle takes approximately 210 seconds. In the next cycle the second half of cam P (P-2) controls switch 125, and otherwise the cycle is repeated as before.
- This modified cycle makes use of the alternate fill valve control and permits rinsing of the cleansed articles with treated unheated water.
- This type of operation may be desirable, for example, where it is preferred that the articles when removed from the washing chamber be as cool as possible.
