Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dishwasher provided with an anti-flood safety system.
  • such a safety system comprises a container for collecting escaped water, in which there is fitted a floating member which can operate a switch when the water accumulating in the container reaches a predetermined level.
  • the switch activates a pump, either directly or indirectly by means of a timer card, to discharge the water contained in the wash chamber.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to overcome the drawbacks of the known art.
  • the signal generated by the sensor device may be, for example, an acoustic and/or optical alarm signal, or a signal which is used, either directly or indirectly by means of a PCB (printed circuit board) which is typically present in a dishwasher, to cause the activation of a pump in order to discharge the water contained in the wash chamber.
  • a PCB printed circuit board
  • the use of a sensor device based on the emission and reception of radiation provides a satisfactory accuracy of operation, which is markedly greater than that offered by a mechanical system.
  • a dishwasher is provided with an anti-flood safety system comprising ( Fig. 1 ) a container 10, located on the base of the dishwasher, for collecting escaped water, and a sensor device which can detect a predetermined threshold level reached by the water in the container 10 and which can send a signal when this level is reached.
  • the sensor device includes a radiation emitter 12 and an associated radiation receiver 14, which are incorporated in a single supporting casing 16 located above the inner cavity of a dihedral formation 18 having a first wing 20 and a second wing 22, which meet at a vertex 24 pointing towards the base of the chamber 10.
  • the emitter 12 can be a light-emitting diode and the receiver 14 can be a phototransistor.
  • the dihedral formation 18 is an appendage of a water decalcifying device 26 of a conventional type, which is provided in the dishwasher for softening the water supplied thereto.
  • the arrangement of the various components of the sensor device is such that the radiation emitted by the emitter 12 undergoes an initial reflection from the first wing 20 and another reflection from the second wing 22, being finally reflected towards the receiver 14 (see the path shown in broken lines and identified by the reference numeral 28).
  • the extent of these reflections is affected by the presence or absence of escaped water in the container 10 between the wings 20 and 22 of the dihedral formation 18. Consequently, as soon as a significant quantity, corresponding to a predetermined threshold level, has accumulated in this area, the sensor device sends a signal which is used to cause the activation of a discharge pump (not shown in Figure 1 ), either directly or indirectly.
  • This safety system has a very high accuracy of operation and is also economical, since it does not require moving parts such as a floating member, and can easily be incorporated in a conventional decalcifying device or, if necessary, in the well of the dishwasher.
  • FIGS 2 and 3 show an alternative embodiment of the invention, in which numbers identical to those used in the preceding figure indicate identical or equivalent parts.
  • the anti-flood safety system comprises a floating member 30 located in the collecting container 10.
  • the member 30 has a disc-like body, with a bar 32 projecting vertically upwards from the central part of this body.
  • the water level sensor device includes a radiation emitter 12 and an associated radiation receiver 14, which are electrically connected to a PCB 34 on opposite sides of the bar 32.
  • the PCB 34 is also electrically connected to another radiation emitter 36 and another radiation receiver 38 forming part of a device for sensing the level of salt in a corresponding reservoir 40 of the decalcifying device 26, of the type usually provided in conventional dishwashers.
  • the reservoir 40 is provided with a plug 42 and has an insulated compartment 44 in which is located an LED device 46 which is also electrically connected to the PCB 34.
  • the emitters 12 and 36 can be light-emitting diodes, for example, while the receivers 14 and 38 can be phototransistors.
  • the accumulation of water in the container 10 due to a possible escape causes the floating member 30 to rise with its associated bar 32, which, when a predetermined threshold level is reached, intercepts the path of the radiation from the emitter 12 to the receiver 14.
  • the sensor device consequently sends a signal which is used to cause the activation of a discharge pump, either directly or indirectly.
  • the operating principle of the device for sensing the salt level in the reservoir 40 is substantially similar.
  • the presence or absence of salt between the emitter 36 and the receiver 38 affects the amount of radiation received by the latter, in such a way that a signal is sent when the level of salt falls below a predetermined level.
  • This signal can be used, in particular, to switch on the LED device 46 and illuminate the plug 42 of the reservoir 40, in order to attract the user's attention when the door of the dishwasher is opened at the end of a wash cycle.
  • the LED device 46 can also serve to monitor the correct operation of a rotor (not shown in the drawings) which rotates within the wash chamber above the plug 42.
  • the safety system of this second embodiment of the invention requires the presence of the floating member 30, although the rising movement of this member which causes the signal to be sent is not opposed by any external element. This avoids the inaccuracies of the known devices, in which the floating member has to overcome the resistance of a mechanical opposing member, which can vary over a rather wide tolerance range.
  • the PCB 34 which is already present in the dishwasher, and which is also used for other functions such as the monitoring of the salt level in the corresponding reservoir 40, is used as the electronic part of the sensor device of this additional safety system according to the invention. It is therefore still possible to simplify the structure and reduce the costs.
  • FIGS 4 and 5 show another embodiment of the invention, in which numbers identical to those used in the preceding figure 1 indicate identical or equivalent parts.
  • the dihedral formation is not an appendage of the water decalcifying device 26, but is the base portion of a freestanding component 44 which is inserted into the housing which is typically occupied by the floating member in a conventional device.
  • the component 44 takes the form of a hollow stem with a flange 46 projecting radially from its upper end, and acts as a stop to prevent downward sliding before the device 26 has been fitted in the dishwasher. It should be noted that, when the device 26 with the component 44 has been fitted in the dishwasher, the vertex 24 of the dihedral formation 18 is in contact with the base of the container 10 for collecting the escaped water.
  • the operating principle and the structure of the sensor device including an emitter 12 and a receiver 14 are not different from those described previously with reference to Figure 1 .
  • the embodiment shown in Figures 4 and 5 has the advantage of making it possible to take up any slack which may develop in the assembly of the dishwasher between the decalcifying device 26 and the container 10 which is fixed to the base.
