Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0786230A2] Device for diverting and shutting off the flow of liquid in particular in a dishwashing machine, in which the flow of liquid initiated by a pump into a chamber (8, 41) provided with a number of outlets (9, 10, 24, 35, 36) is selectively shut off by plugs (11, 12, 26, 38, 39) for sealing the outlets, which plugs are closed by the hydrodynamic thrust exerted by the flow on the plugs and are each held in the open position, even in the presence of flow, by the mutual force of attraction exerted between a magnetic element (17, 18, 28, 50, 51) of the plug and the core (19, 23, 29, 45) of an electromagnet (20, 22, 30, 43, 44) which is associated with each plug and the temporary excitation of which reduces or cancels the mutual force of attraction, allowing the associated plug to be closed, which plug is advantageously in the form of a blade-type lever hinged on the device body and returns to the open position, when the pump is deactivated, by the effect of gravity. <IMAGE>
