Dishwasher with at least one air outlet
A dishwasher includes a dishwasher cavity for treatment of items to be washed, and an air outlet for blowing out air from the dishwasher cavity. The air outlet is arranged in a lower quarter of a height of the dishwasher and extends as a slotted outlet over at least two thirds of a width of the dishwasher. A connection located on a rear face of the air outlet introduces humid air into the air outlet and is designed to supply the introduced air to an air distributor for separating the supplied air into differently oriented sub-flows.
1. A dishwasher, comprising:
a dishwasher cavity for treatment of items to be washed;
an air outlet for blowing out air from the dishwasher cavity, said air outlet arranged in a lower quarter of a height of the dishwasher and extending as a slotted outlet over at least two thirds of a width of the dishwasher;
an air distributor;
a connection coupled to the air outlet for introducing humid air from the dishwasher cavity into the air outlet, said connection designed to supply the introduced air from the dishwasher cavity to the air distributor, the air distributor configured to separate the supplied air into at least two differently oriented sub-flows that diametrically oppose one another; and
a channel wall extending parallel to the air outlet and defining a channel comprising at least two portions separated by an air guiding element coupled to the channel wall, each portion of the channel configured to receive a respective sub-flow of the at least two differently oriented sub-flows from the air distributor.
2. The dishwasher of claim 1 , constructed in a form of a household dishwasher.
3. The dishwasher of claim 1 , wherein the air distributor is arranged at least approximately centrally in a direction of the width relative to an extent of the air outlet.
4. The dishwasher of claim 1 , further comprising the channel extending parallel to the air outlet, wherein, relative to a vertical height of the dishwasher, the air distributor is at least partially held in a plane below the air outlet and conveys the air directly into the channel.
5. The dishwasher of claim 4 , wherein the air outlet extends substantially horizontally, said channel being upwardly open and having a front edge which adjoins the air outlet at an angle.
6. The dishwasher of claim 1 , wherein the air outlet is at least 40 centimeters wide overall.
7. The dishwasher of claim 1 , wherein the air outlet is designed as a flat slotted outlet with a height-to-width ratio of less than 1:20.
8. The dishwasher of claim 1 , wherein the air outlet is designed as a flat slotted outlet with a height-to-width ratio of between 1:20 and 1:200.
9. The dishwasher of claim 1 , wherein the air outlet is designed as a flat slotted outlet with a height-to-width ratio of approximately 1:100.
10. The dishwasher of claim 1 , wherein the air outlet is arranged on a user-facing front face of the dishwasher and is designed to blow out the air with a forward component.
11. The dishwasher of claim 10 , further comprising a base and a base panel which terminates the base to a front of the dishwasher, said air outlet overlapping the base panel and protruding relative to the base panel at least to a same distance toward the front face.
12. The dishwasher of claim 1 , further comprising:
an air supply line designed with an excess length and supplying the humid air from the dishwasher cavity to the connection; and
an air distribution unit fluidically arranged upstream of the air outlet and comprising the air distributor,
wherein after dismantling a base panel that terminates a base of the dishwasher to a front of the dishwasher, the air outlet together with the air distribution unit and the connection is moveable out of the base as a blow-out structural unit while the air supply line remains in a mounted position.
13. The dishwasher of claim 12 , wherein the air supply line is a flexible connecting hose or a corrugated pipe.
14. The dishwasher of claim 1 , further comprising a conveying member for supply of air and designed to be activated in a clocked manner over a time period of several days.
15. The dishwasher of claim 14 , wherein the conveying member is a fan.
16. The dishwasher of claim 14 , wherein the conveying member is designed to be activated by detection of moisture in the dishwasher cavity.
