Definitions
- the present invention is related to a dish- washing machine wherein a drying fan and a temperature measuring unit for an improved drying performance are used for the washing and drying of such objects as dishes, cutlery, etc.
- the drying capacity of the dish washers together with their washing performance is an important parameter.
- the dish washer completes the main washing operation and then starts drying.
- Drying of the washed dishes is realized by different ways.
- One way is to provide drying by increasing the temperature using a heater present in the tub, during the drying cycle. As this method does not remove the humidity in the tub, and provides a drying effect by increasing the temperature and thus reduces the relative humidity in the air, when the door is opened and therefore the inner temperature is reduced, it leads to an excessive condensation which is an undesired condition with regard to user's comfort.
- an electrical valve placed at the inlet of the blower is used to control the air flow within the blower.
- a similar system consisting of an air inlet opening located at the lower wall of the washing compartment (tub) and a blower sending the external air into the said compartment.
- This invention also proposes to place valves at the inlet and outlet of the air flow; the valves close by gravity when the blower stops.
- Another method is to reduce the interior humidity by discharging the hot air to outside.
- the drying operation is realized by taking the hot and humid air directly out of the dish washer tub and thus by removing relative humidity and as well as absolute humidity.
- This system also eliminates the excessive condensation problem upon opening the door and provides less energy consumption as compared with conventional systems.
- the hot and humid inner air is removed by a fan placed at the door region.
- a fan placed at the door region.
- drying performance is improved by placing a fan that removes air, at the lower part of the washing compartment.
- the problem of all these systems, regardless the location of the fan is, to determine the dryness of the objects in the dish washer and to control the operational duration of the fan in order to finalize the drying cycle.
- the fan operates all through a pre- determined period without controlling the dryness of the objects in the dish washer.
- the object of the present invention is to realize a dish washer having a fan-drier system in which a fan is placed on the ceiling of the tub, at a location diagonal to the air inlet and wherein a control method is applied for operating the drier fan.
- FIG 1 is the schematic view of the dish washer
- FIGS 2,3,4 show the change of temperature in the dishwasher tub during fan drying cycle.
- the fan discharging the air is placed on the ceiling (Fig.1) diagonally to the air inlet opening (1), thus the passage way of the air entering the tub is elongated.
- this arrangement forms vertices in such a manner that they enhance the drying process.
- SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 25) air discharged from the tub by means of a fan (2) represents the inner atmosphere very well, with regard to temperature and humidity.
- the drying fan (2) consists of a blower type rotor and an air discharge duct (7) located at the outlet side of the rotor. Hot and humid air from the mid-region enters the fan and is discharged through the air discharge duct (7). A temperature sensor (8) placed at this location measures the temperature changes of the exiting air.
- discharged air has the average characteristics of the air inside the machine and it is replaced by cold air entering through the inlet opening (1) existing on the side wall, near the bottom. Due to the difference of density, cold air sinks to the bottom, then changes the direction and rises upwards and is discharged from the ceiling by means of a fan This arrangement, lengthens the path of the air and increases its drying capacity.
- the operation of the fan (2) is controlled by means of a thermometer (8).
- the temperature of the inside air is measured instead of the dryness of the dishes etc. in the machine, in order to determine the dryness of its contents.
- fan (2) starts to discharge the hot and humid air. During this period, due to the cold air replacing the hot and humid air, the interior temperature decreases. This continuos decrease in the temperature of the inner air and of the walls can easily be seen from the measurements ( Figures 2 and 3).
- the dryness of the objects washed in a dishwasher may be determined by monitoring the changes in the temperature of the air discharged by the fan. Said increase in temperature may be up to 10°C in a short duration . This increase in temperature is observed at different parts of the machine tub at different times. The most typical location giving the average air temperature value is observed to be the interior of the air discharge duct (7). This increase in temperature is used to control the operation of the fan in order to end the drying cycle.
- the temperature sensor (8) placed in the air discharge duct (7) used for removing air from the dishwasher tub during drying process measures the changes in the air temperature. An increase in the temperature is evaluated as an indication of the dryness of the contents of the dish washer. Therefore, the present invention eliminates the requirement to use a humidity sensor for dryness control and provides control method for the operation of the fan.
