Publication number: 20160198929Abstract: Provided herein are a dishwasher comprising a washing chamber arranged for holding soiled items to be washed, a filter, and a circulation pump, and methods of operating the same. The washing chamber may be arranged such that, when the flow of washing liquid passes through the washing chamber, soil is released from the items to be washed and caught in the flow. The filter may be such arranged that, when the flow of washing liquid with soil passes through the filter, soil is separated from the flow of washing liquid and caught at the filter. The dishwasher may further include a soil trap, which is located separate from the circulation flow, and a soil removing unit including a transport unit for transport of the soil caught at the filter into the soil trap.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2016Publication date: July 14, 2016Inventor: Sarah Förster

Patent number: 9125541Abstract: A wash arm arrangement (20) for a dishwasher is disclosed which has a central arm (21) adapted to be rotatably connected with a first shaft (23) through which liquid under pressure is fed into said central arm during operation. A satellite arm (22) is rotatably connected with a second shaft (24) arranged on the central arm, and which is arranged separated a first radial distance rcs from the axis of rotation of the central arm. The second shaft supplies liquid to the satellite arm during operation. To provide the liquid to a washing area of the dishwasher, the satellite arm comprises at least one outer nozzle (25) for providing liquid to a washing area of the dishwasher.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2011Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: Electrolux Home Products Corporation N.V.Inventors: Sarah Förster, Anders Haegermarck, Niklas Olson

Patent number: 8985126Abstract: A wash arm arrangement (20) for a dishwasher is disclosed. The wash arm arrangement comprises a central arm (21) adapted to be rotatably connected with a first shaft (23) through which liquid under pressure is fed into the central arm during operation. A second shaft (24) is arranged on the central arm to provide liquid to a satellite arm (22) which is rotatably connected with the second shaft. The satellite arm comprises a collimating nozzle (25) with an exit. The collimating nozzle is arranged for providing a collimated jet for distributing liquid to a washing area of the dishwasher. The inventive concept is based on an understanding that by utilizing a collimated liquid jet with sufficient pressure and flow a good cleaning performance is achieved with a reduced water consumption.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2011Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: Electrolux Home Products Corporation N.V.Inventors: Sarah Förster, Anders Haegermarck, Niklas Olson

Patent number: 8844547Abstract: A wash arm arrangement (100) for a dishwasher is disclosed. The wash arm arrangement comprises a central arm (121) adapted to be rotatably connected with a first liquid supply shaft (123) for providing pressurized liquid during operation of the dishwasher. The central arm has a first nozzle (130) arranged for outputting a jet of liquid during operation thereby providing a first reaction force Fc for rotating the central arm about its axis of rotation in a first direction. The wash arm arrangement further comprises a satellite arm (122) rotatably arranged on a second liquid supply shaft (124) arranged on an outer end of the central arm, the satellite arm having a second nozzle (131) arranged for outputting a jet of liquid during operation thereby providing a second reaction force Fs for rotating the satellite arm about its axis of rotation in a second direction being opposite to the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2011Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignee: Electrolux Home Products Corporation N.V.Inventors: Sarah Förster, Niklas Olson, Anders Haegermarck

Publication number: 20110226289Abstract: The present invention relates to a dishwasher (1) comprising a washing chamber (3) arranged for holding soiled items to be washed, a filter (11), a circulation pump (37), which is operable to create a circulation flow (43) of washing liquid through the washing chamber (3), through the filter (11) and back to the washing chamber (3). The washing chamber (3) is such arranged that, when the flow (43) of washing liquid passes through the washing chamber (3), soil (31) is released from the items to be washed and caught in the flow (43). The filter (11) is such arranged that, when the flow (43) of washing liquid with soil (31) passes through the filter, soil (31) is separated from the flow (43) of washing liquid and caught at the filter (11). The dishwasher (1) further comprises a soil trap (15), which is located separate from the circulation flow (43), and a soil removing unit (25, 26) comprising a transport unit (25) for transport of the soil (31) caught at the filter (11) into the soil trap (15).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2009Publication date: September 22, 2011Inventor: Sarah Förster
