Description

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

Derartige Geschirrspüler sind nach dem Stand der Technik weit verbreitet. Dabei wird der Klarspüler in einen dafür vorgesehenen Vorratsbehälter gefüllt. Während bestimmter Spülprogramme wird zu einen vorbestimmten Zeitpunkt eine vorgegebene Menge des Klarspülers dem Spülwasser zudosiert.Such dishwashers are wide according to the prior art common. The rinse aid is placed in a designated rinse aid Reservoir filled. During certain washing programs becomes a predetermined at a predetermined time Amount of rinse aid added to the rinse water.

Das Spülmittel wird üblicherweise in Pulver- oder Tablettenform vor dem Spülgang in einen dafür vorgesehenen Behälter gefüllt. Während des Spülgangs wird die gesamte Menge des Spülmittels freigegeben.The detergent is usually in powder or tablet form before the rinse cycle in a designated container filled. During the rinse cycle, the entire amount of Detergent released.

Heutzutage sind auf dem Markt Reinigungstabletten oder Reiniger erhältlich, die nicht nur das Spülmittel, sondern auch den Klarspüler für einen Spülgang enthalten. Bei einer Verwendung solcher Reinigungstabletten wird bei Geschirrspülern nach dem Stand der Technik während des Spülgangs zusätzlich Klarspüler aus dem Vorratsbehälter zudosiert. Das führt nachteiligerweise zu einem überflüssigen Verbrauch von Klarspüler.There are cleaning tablets or cleaners on the market today available that not only the detergent, but also contain the rinse aid for a rinse cycle. When using Such cleaning tablets are used in dishwashers according to the prior art during the rinse cycle additionally Rinse aid added from the storage container. This leads disadvantageously to an unnecessary consumption of rinse aid.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die Nachteile nach dem Stand der Technik zu beseitigen. Es soll insbesondere ein Geschirrspüler angegeben werden, der universell mit marktgängigen Spülmitteln betreibbar und sparsam im Verbrauch von Klarspüler ist.The object of the invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art of technology to eliminate. In particular, it is said to be a dishwasher be specified, the universal with marketable Detergent operable and economical in the consumption of rinse aid is.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen ergeben sich aus den Merkmalen der Ansprüche 2 bis 5.
Nach Maßgabe der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß ein Mittel zum wahlweisen Sperren der Klarspülerzugabe vorgesehen ist. - Damit ist es möglich, bei einer Verwendung von Klarspüler enthaltenden Reinigungstabletten oder Reinigern eine überflüssige Zugabe von Klarspüler aus dem Vorratsbehälter zu vermeiden. Es wird eine Einsparung im Verbrauch an Klarspüler erreicht. Der vorgeschlagene Geschirrspüler ist sparsam und kann universell mit sämtlichen Reinigungsmitteln für Geschirrspüler betrieben werden.This object is solved by the features of claim 1. Appropriate configurations result from the features of claims 2 to 5.
According to the invention it is provided that a means for optionally blocking the rinse aid addition is provided. - This makes it possible to avoid the unnecessary addition of rinse aid from the storage container when using rinse aid tablets or detergents. Savings in consumption of rinse aid are achieved. The proposed dishwasher is economical and can be used universally with all cleaning agents for dishwashers.

Nach einem Ausgestaltungsmerkmal weist das Mittel ein Schaltelement auf, das an einer Bedienblende vorgesehen ist. Es kann sich dabei um einen Taster, um einen Schalter oder dgl. handeln. Das vorgeschlagene Schaltelement ist ohne weiteres zugänglich. Das erleichtert die Bedienung des Geschirrspülers. Mittels des Schaltelements ist vorteilhafterweise ein besonderer Programmablauf wählbar, bei dem eine Dosieröffnung eines Vorratsbehälters zur Aufnahme des Klarspülers während des gesamten Spülvorgangs geschlossen bleibt.According to a design feature, the means has a switching element on, which is provided on a control panel. It can be a button, a switch or the like. act. The proposed switching element is straightforward accessible. This makes it easier to operate the dishwasher. By means of the switching element is advantageously a Special program sequence selectable, in which a metering opening a reservoir to hold the rinse aid during of the entire rinsing process remains closed.

Die Einrichtung zur automatischen Zugabe kann ein Magnetventil zum Verschließen der Dosieröffnung aufweisen. In einem besonders einfachen Fall kann mittels des Schaltelements ein Stromkreis zum Ansteuern des Magnetventils unterbrochen werden. In diesem Zusammenhang ist es allerdings zweckmäßig, daß der Stromkreis jeweils nur während eines einzigen Spülgangs unterbrochen bleibt, d.h. die Unterbrechung nach jedem Spülgang automatisch zurückgesetzt wird.The device for automatic addition can be a solenoid valve to close the metering opening. In one a particularly simple case can be by means of the switching element Circuit for controlling the solenoid valve are interrupted. In this context, however, it is useful that the circuit only during a single rinse remains interrupted, i.e. the interruption after each rinse is automatically reset.

Die Einrichtung zur automatischen Zugabe kann eine Signallampe zur Anzeige mangelnder Klarspülerbefüllung des Vorratsbehälters aufweisen, wobei eine Stromversorgung der Signallampe bei gewähltem besonderen Programmablauf unterbrochen ist. In diesem Fall ist ein Zudosieren von Klarspüler aus dem Vorratsbehälter nicht vorgesehen. Eine mangelnde Klarspülerbefüllung des Vorratsbehälters ist also unbeachtlich. Es kann somit ein versehentliches Unterbrechen des Spülgangs und ein Nachfüllen von Klarspüler in den Vorratsbehälter vermieden werden.The device for automatic addition can be a signal lamp to indicate a lack of rinse aid filling in the storage container have, wherein a power supply to the signal lamp is interrupted when a special program sequence is selected. In In this case rinse aid is added from the storage container not provided. A lack of rinse aid filling the storage container is therefore irrelevant. It can thus an accidental interruption of the rinse cycle and a Refilling rinse aid in the storage container avoided become.

Nachfolgend wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung näher erläutert. Die einzige Figur zeigt ein stark schematisiertes Schaltbild einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung. Mit 1 ist eine Programmsteuerung des (hier nicht gezeigten) Geschirrspülers bezeichnet. Die Programmsteuerung 1 ist verbunden mit einem Magnetventil 2, welches an einem Vorratsbehälter 3 zur Aufnahme von Klarspüler vorgesehen ist. Mit 4 ist eine verschließbare Öffnung des Vorratsbehälters 3 zum Nachfüllen von Klarspüler vorgesehen. Ein Füllstandsmesser 5 ist in einen Stromkreis eingeschaltet, welcher eine Signallampe 6 aufweist. Ein Schalter 7 ist sowohl in dem Stromkreis des Magnetventils 2 als auch des Füllstandsmessers 5 eingeschaltet.An exemplary embodiment of the invention is described in more detail below explained. The only figure shows a highly schematic Circuit diagram of a device according to the invention. With 1 is one Program control of the dishwasher (not shown here) designated. Program control 1 is connected to a solenoid valve 2, which on a reservoir 3 for Intake of rinse aid is provided. With 4 is a lockable Opening the reservoir 3 for refilling Rinse aid provided. A level meter 5 is in one Circuit switched on, which has a signal lamp 6. A switch 7 is both in the circuit of the solenoid valve 2 and the level meter 5 switched on.

Die Funktion der Vorrichtung ist folgende:The function of the device is as follows:

Wenn der Schalter 7 geschlossen ist, steuert die Programmautomatik 1 gemäß einem vorgegebenen Programm das Magnetventil 2 während des Spülvorgangs an. Es wird eine vorgegebene Menge an Klarspüler zudosiert. Sofern der Füllstand des Klarspülers unter ein vorgegebenes Niveau abfällt, wird der Stromkreis durch den Füllstandsmesser 7 geschlossen und die Signallampe 6 leuchtet auf. Damit wird angezeigt, daß Klarspüler nachzufüllen ist.When the switch 7 is closed, the automatic program controls 1 the solenoid valve according to a specified program 2 during the rinsing process. It will be a given amount added to rinse aid. If the rinse aid level the circuit drops below a predetermined level closed by the level meter 7 and the signal lamp 6 lights up. This indicates that the rinse aid needs to be refilled is.

Bei der Verwendung von Spülmitteltabletten mit Klarspüler kann mittels des Schalters 7 der Stromkreis unterbrochen werden. In diesem Fall kommt es beim Schließen des Kontakts des Füllstandsmessers 5 nicht zu einem Aufleuchten der Signallampe 6. Auch eine Zudosierung von Klarspülern durch Öffnen des Magnetventils 2 ist nicht möglich. Der Geschirrspüler kann so auf einfache Weise sparsam und universell betrieben werden.When using detergent tablets with rinse aid the circuit can be interrupted by means of the switch 7. In this case, when the contact closes the Level meter 5 does not light up the signal lamp 6. Also add rinse aid by opening the Solenoid valve 2 is not possible. The dishwasher can do this can be operated economically and universally in a simple manner.

Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, andere Schaltungen vorzusehen.
