Dishwashing machine with a pump with a brushless permanent magnet motor
View Patent ↗A dishwashing machine having a pumping device to pump a dishwashing solution. The pumping device has a first pump and a second pump, wherein each of the first pump and the second pump has a brushless permanent magnet motor. A shared electronic controller is shared by the first pump and the second pump.
1. A dishwashing machine, comprising:
a pumping device to pump a dishwashing solution, the pumping device having a first pump and a second pump, each of the first pump and the second pump having a brushless permanent magnet motor; and
a shared electronic controller shared by the first pump and the second pump,
wherein the brushless permanent magnet motor has a rotor, and
the shared electronic controller is configured to detect a position of the rotor and to change the direction of rotation of the rotor on detecting an actual speed that differs from one of a target speed and a target speed range.
2. The dishwashing machine of claim 1 , wherein the shared electronic controller is configured to operate the first pump and the second pump of the pumping device in an alternating manner.
3. The dishwashing machine of claim 1 , further comprising a dishwashing tub, wherein the first pump is a drain pump to pump the dishwashing solution out of the dishwashing tub.
4. The dishwashing machine of claim 1 , wherein the second pump is a circulating pump to pump the dishwashing solution in a closed water circuit of the dishwashing machine.
5. The dishwashing machine of claim 1 , wherein the shared electronic controller comprises an electronic frequency converter to drive and supply power to the pumping device.
6. The dishwashing machine of claim 1 , wherein the shared electronic controller is configured to switch off at least one of the first pump and the second pump after passage of a predetermined time following a start of the at least one of the first pump and the second pump.
7. The dishwashing machine of claim 1 , wherein the shared electronic controller is structured to switch off at least one of the first pump and the second pump when a predetermined speed criterion is met.
8. The dishwashing machine of claim 7 , wherein the predetermined speed criterion is defined by exceeding a predetermined speed.
9. The dishwashing machine of claim 7 , wherein the speed criterion is defined by detecting a speed increase by a predetermined speed difference.
10. The dishwashing machine of claim 1 , further comprising:
an impeller having a shaft; and
a respective housing for each of the first pump and the second pump; wherein at least one of the first pump and the second pump has an inlet that is arranged centrally and axially in relation to the shaft of the impeller; and
wherein the at least one of the first pump and the second pump has an outlet that is arranged tangentially at the respective housing.
11. The dishwashing machine of claim 1 , wherein the brushless permanent magnet motor is a brushless direct current motor.
12. A dishwasher comprising at least one conveying device for conveying wash liquor,
the conveying device having a first pump and a second pump each with a brushless permanent magnet motor that is a brushless direct current motor (Brushless DC, BLDC), and
common control electronics provided for the first and the second pump of the conveying device, the common control electronics switching off the first and/or the second pump when a predefined time has elapsed since the first and/or the second pump was started.
