Definitions
- the present invention refers to an improved kind of dishwashing machine, preferably of the type for use in households, which is particularly simple and convenient to use and operate, even by an average user who is rather unskilled from a technical point of view.
- Dishwashing machines of the currently marketed kind are largely known to be provided with a control panel arranged on top of the machine, on which there are provided not only the control means needed to operate the machine, but also those devices which are intended to indicate the various operating phases being carried out by the machine, as well as the possible occurrence of conditions in the operation of the machine which require particular attention on the part of the user.
- warning signals are supplied to the user by means of light indications, which are in practice indicator lights arranged on said control panel.
- warning or indicator lights are arranged on the top side of the machine and, as such, well visible to the user, they can anyway leave a not particularly skilled user rather uncertain about the kind of information he/she is being actually supplied with and/or the actual device being involved by the indication itself and possibly needing servicing.
- This operating variable refers actually to the filling state of the detergent dispenser.
- a dishwashing machine which is capable of doing away with the above-described drawbacks and, in particular, additionally comprises one or more light indicator means, each one of which is applied on a respective device, or in close proximity thereof and is easily visible when opening the door giving access to the washing vessel of the machine, and looking thereinto.
- This machine must be further provided with appropriate means adapted to send respective signals to such light indication means depending on and indicative of the operating state of the corresponding devices.
- a vessel 1 for accommodating the items to be washed in which there protrude a cap 2 of the washing liquor filter and a cap 3 of the salt reservoir.
- Figure 1 also illustrates a rotating spray arm 4 used to spray washing liquor onto the items to be washed.
- said filter also comprises, further to the above-cited cap 2, a filter body 5 and a protective hollow support in an elongated, substantially cylindrical shape.
- the cap 2 itself is made of a clear, see-through material and is preferably provided with through-perforations 2 a.
- Said protective hollow support 6 is constituted by a cylinder that is open at an end portion thereof and closed on the opposite end portion thereof; the closed end portion 7 of said cylinder is directed upwards and faces the inner surface of said cap 2, whereas the open end portion 8 of said cylinder is used to fit the support itself into the structure of the machine, as well as to let the electric connecting wires pass therethrough, as this will be explained below in greater detail.
- a light emitting means 9 is arranged inside said protective hollow support, in the proximity of said upper closed end portion 7, and is supplied with power via appropriate electric connecting wires 14 that are connected to the control and regulation means of the machine (not shown in the Figures).
- Said light emitting means 9 can of course be any appropriate device fitting the particular purpose and, preferably, is a LED, or light-emitting diode.
- Said light emitting means 9 can of course be any appropriate device fitting the particular purpose and, preferably, is a LED, or light-emitting diode.
- said hollow protective support 6 is moulded integrally from an appropriate plastic material, preferably polypropylene.
- the lower open end portion 8 of said hollow protective support 6 is suitably applied on to an appropriate elastic insert 12, which in turn is applied on a terminal bush 13 to consolidate the position of said hollow protective support 8 with respect to said filter, as .well as to ensure the ultimate water tightness of the inner volume of said hollow protective support against any penetration of water.
- said elastic insert 12 is made of rubber and is first coinjected on said terminal bush 13, and then said assembly, comprising said support 6 (the illuminator) is mounted to a proper hole pre-existing in the sump bottom.
- the salt reservoir substantially comprises a body 20 adapted to hold the salt, and a hollow protective support 21, which is constituted by a cylinder that is open on an extremity thereof and closed on the other one.
- the closed extremity 22 of said cylinder is directed upwards in the same way as in the previously considered case, and faces the transparent cap 23 of said cover 3, whereas the open extremity 24 thereof is used to apply the support 21 to the structure of the machine, as well as to enable the electric connection wires to pass therethrough; in exactly the same way as in the previously considered case, a respective light-emitting means 25 is arranged inside said protective support 21, in the upper portion thereof.
- FIGS 6 and 7 these can be noticed to show a top view of an assembly of containers for holding the products being used during the washing process and, respectively, a top view of the same assembly, in which the covers of said containers are opened.
- This assembly shall of course be understood as being preferably applied on to the inner surface of the door of the dishwashing machine, and Figures 6 and 7, which are generally defined as “top views”, shall therefore be understood as being such when looking the inside of the door when the latter is fully opened.
- said reservoir 30 is closable by means of a usual cover 35, which is actuated to open by known means at the exact moment of the cycle when the detergent contained therein is to be dispensed into the washing vessel.
- said cover there are provided some through-apertures 32, which are arranged so as to lie exactly over said slits 33, in mutual agreement therewith, so that when said light guides carry a respective light beam, the light that shows up in the related ones of said terminal portions is able 'to diffuse over said reservoir and, in particular, to spread beyond said cover 35 by passing through said through-apertures 32, for eventually spreading outside, where it can therefore be noticed by a user looking at the inside of the door, when the latter is of course open.
- the dishwashing machine is provided with means adapted to detect any information whatsoever concerning the detergent and/or the corresponding reservoir, this information can be converted with known means into a light beam which, when duly channelled in an appropriate light guide, spreads out from said through-apertures, thereby providing the user with the desired information.
- the latter will be much more readily and easily identifiable, since it is supplied right in the proximity of the actual component part or function which it refers to and which it is meant to indicate as needing user's attention, both when the cover is closed and when it is open.
- these light guides are used to transport light beams that carry information (as detected with known means that shall not be described here) concerning the rinsing aid dispenser 40.
- the present invention can also be advantageously extended, through appropriate adaptations, to also cover the case of the indications relating to the correct operation of the rotating spray arms.
- the rotating spray arms are in fact generally known to be subject to accidental stoppages, i.e. to become locked, due to a number of different reasons, thereby impairing of course the operation of the entire machine.
- a proper detection of the state of the rotating spray arms can be implemented through the use of means, which are largely known in the art and shall therefore not be described here any further; according to a variant in the embodiment of the present invention, said information on the operating condition of the rotating spray arms 50 is converted into a beam of light that is then transmitted along an appropriate light guide 51 contained in the arm 52 supporting the respective rotating spray arrangement.
- This light beam can be easily generated by light sources 53, sealed and electrically insulated, placed into the tub back portion, where the arm is connected to the water supply, arranged at an extremity 54, situated inside the machine, of said light guide; at the other extremity thereof, the light being emitted there is either diffused directly outside or, alternatively is sent towards a transparent body 55 which transfers this light outside, i. e. inside the washing wessel.
- a light beam can be modulated in various manners according to the type of information that it is intended to convey: in particular, it can be formed by a continuous beam of light or an intermittently flashing beam of light, in the case where the ability to draw the attention of the user shall be desirably increased or, more generally, whenever a more conspicuous signal than the one conveyable with a continuous beam of light is to be desirably transmitted.
- a certainly much more extended manner of taking profit from the afore-described devices lies in channelling into and through these devices, and particularly into and through the light guides, distinct light beams of different colour.
- the invention is not limited to dishwashing machines, but shall be applicable to all kinds of household appliances where it is' known to indicate signals, especially warning signals, on the respective control panel. For example it is possible to indicate in a similar way missing washing detergent or blocked draining pump in a washing machine or a clogged filter element in a clothes drying machine. Further applications also in different household appliances shall also be included.
