Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'articulation et d'équilibrage d'une porte d'un appareil de cuisson constituée d'une traverse supérieure et d'une traverse inférieure reliées par deux montants latéraux, comportant au moins un moyen de rappel placé dans un montant latéral.The present invention relates to a device for articulation and balancing of a door of a cooking appliance consisting of an upper cross member and a lower cross member connected by two lateral uprights, comprising at least one return means placed in a lateral upright.

On connaît des dispositifs d'articulation et d'équilibrage de portes d'appareils de cuisson, mais ceux-ci sont généralement intégrés dans le corps des appareils car ils sont constitués de deux ressorts de rappel placés le long des parois latérales de l'appareil et accrochés à la porte pour être tendus au cours de l'ouverture de celle-ci (voir par exemple les documents US-A-3 144 863 et US-A-2 979 052) .Knuckle and balancing devices for cooking appliance doors are known, but these are generally integrated into the body of the appliance because they consist of two return springs placed along the side walls of the appliance. and hung on the door to be stretched during the opening thereof (see for example documents US-A-3 144 863 and US-A-2 979 052).

Cette disposition présente un inconvénient majeur car, dans ce cas, la porte ne constitue pas un sous-ensemble indépendant et son montage sur l'appareil de cuisson doit alors s'effectuer très tôt le long de la chaîne de montage impliquant des problèmes de manipulation.This arrangement has a major drawback because, in this case, the door does not constitute an independent sub-assembly and its mounting on the cooking appliance must then be carried out very early along the assembly line involving handling problems. .

On connaît des dispositifs d'articulation et d'équilibrage intégrés totalement dans des portes d'appareils de cuisson permettant de résoudre ce problème de fabrication. Mais ces portes sont constituées de tôles émaillées enserrant et recouvrant en partie deux plaques de verre, et les dispositifs d'articulation et d'équilibrage sont placés de part et d'autre des plaques de verre dans des montants latéraux.Known hinge and balancing devices are fully integrated in the doors of cooking appliances to solve this manufacturing problem. However, these doors are made of enameled sheets enclosing and partially covering two glass plates, and the articulation and balancing devices are placed on either side of the glass plates in lateral uprights.

Ces dispositifs sont donc tirés dans l'axe des montants par des tirants fixés dans l'appareil de cuisson. Ces tirants, interposés entre les portes et les appareils, délimitent donc entre eux une largeur, disponible pour la plaque de verre intérieure, inférieure à la largeur du moufle de l'appareil de cuisson.These devices are therefore pulled in the axis of the uprights by tie rods fixed in the cooking appliance. These tie rods, interposed between the doors and the appliances, therefore delimit between them a width, available for the interior glass plate, less than the width of the muffle of the cooking appliance.

Si l'on veut s'affranchir de ces portes émaillées et utiliser deux plaques de verre telles que la plaque intérieure ferme totalement le moufle pour diminuer les pertes thermiques latérales et protège les pièces peintes, ces dispositifs ne conviennent plus car ils limitent la largeur de la plaque intérieure.If one wants to get rid of these enamelled doors and use two glass plates such that the inner plate completely closes the block to reduce the lateral heat losses and protects the painted parts, these devices are no longer suitable because they limit the width of the inner plate.

La présente invention a pour but d'utiliser des dispositifs d'articulation et d'équilibrage dans les montants, qui permettent l'utilisation d'une large plaque de verre intérieure occupant toute la largeur de la porte et prenant directement appui sur un joint entourant le moufle de l'appareil de cuisson.The object of the present invention is to use articulation and balancing devices in the uprights, which allow the use of a large interior glass plate occupying the entire width of the door and directly resting on a surrounding seal. the muffle of the cooking appliance.

La présente invention a pour objet une porte d'un appareil de cuisson comprenant une traverse supérieure et une traverse inférieure reliées par deux montants latéraux et au moins un dispositif d'articulation et d'équilibrage, comportant au moins un moyen de rappel placé dans un montant latéral et dont l'extrémité fixe est accrochée au niveau de la traverse supérieure, caractérisé en ce que le dispositif d'articulation et d'équilibrage comporte un support d'articulation, une biellette dont une extrémité est articulée en rotation sur le support d'articulation et dont l'autre extrémité est guidée en translation par un galet à l'intérieur du montant latéral, la biellette et le galet étant accrochés de part et d'autre d'un axe se déplaçant dans une fente du montant latéral, une plaquette de masquage de la fente se déplaçant dans le montant latéral, entraînée par l'axe du galet et entraînant l'extrémité mobile du moyen de rappel.The present invention relates to a door of a cooking appliance comprising an upper cross member and a lower cross member connected by two lateral uprights and at least one articulation and balancing device, comprising at least one return means placed in a lateral upright and the fixed end of which is hooked at the level of the upper cross member, characterized in that the articulation and balancing device comprises an articulation support, a connecting rod of which one end is articulated in rotation on the support d hinge and the other end of which is guided in translation by a roller inside the lateral upright, the rod and the roller being hooked on either side of an axis moving in a slot in the lateral upright, a masking plate of the slot moving in the lateral upright, driven by the axis of the roller and driving the movable end of the return means.

Il est décrit ci-après, à titre d'exemple et en référence aux figures du dessin annexé, un dispositif d'articulation et d'équilibrage selon l'invention.

  • La figure 1 est une demi-vue de face d'une porte fermée munie d'un dispositif d'articulation et d'équilibrage selon l'invention.
  • La figure 2 est une vue en coupe suivant Il de la figure 1, montrant la porte dans une position fermée, et dans une position ouverte avec les références prime.
It is described below, by way of example and with reference to the figures of the accompanying drawing, a hinge and balancing device according to the invention.
  • Figure 1 is a half front view of a closed door provided with a hinge and balancing device according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a sectional view along line II of Figure 1, showing the door in a closed position, and in an open position with the references prime.

La figure 1 représente une demi-vue d'une porte 20 d'un appareil de cuisson 10 munie d'un dispositif 30 d'articulation et d'équilibrage. L'appareil de cuisson 10 comporte un pied 11 sur lequel vient se fixer le dispositif 30 au moyen d'un support d'articulation 31. La porte 20 comporte une traverse supérieure 21 et une traverse inférieure 22, toutes deux reliées par un montant 23 formé de deux parois 23A, 23B.FIG. 1 represents a half view of a door 20 of a cooking appliance 10 provided with a device 30 for articulation and balancing. The cooking appliance 10 comprises a foot 11 on which the device 30 is fixed by means of an articulation support 31. The door 20 comprises an upper cross member 21 and a lower cross member 22, both connected by an upright 23 formed of two walls 23A, 23B.

Le dispositif 30 d'articulation et d'équilibrage comporte sur son support 31, un axe 32 traversant le montant 23 de la porte 20 qui est l'axe d'articulation de la porte, et un axe d'articulation 33 qui est l'axe d'articulation d'une biellette 34. L'extrémité mobile de cette biellette comporte un axe 35 sur lequel est placé un galet 37 et une plaquette de masquage 41 comportant un crochet 42. Un ressort 36, situé à l'intérieur du montant 23 est accroché par une extrémité au crochet 42.The articulation and balancing device 30 comprises on its support 31, an axis 32 passing through the upright 23 of the door 20 which is the articulation axis of the door, and an articulation axis 33 which is the articulation axis of a link 34. The movable end of this link comprises an axis 35 on which is placed a roller 37 and a masking plate 41 comprising a hook 42. A spring 36, located inside the upright 23 is hooked by one end to the hook 42.

L'extrémité fixe de ce ressort 36 est accrochée à un axe 24 situé à l'extrémité du montant 23 au niveau de la traverse supérieure 21.The fixed end of this spring 36 is hooked to an axis 24 situated at the end of the upright 23 at the level of the upper cross member 21.

La paroi 23A comporte une lumière 25 permettant le déplacement de l'axe 35 le long du montant 23, au cours d'une manoeuvre de la porte, et la plaquette 41 masque cette lumière. La biellette 34 du dispositif 30 n'est pas dans l'axe du montant mais présente un léger porte à faux permettant la mise en place de plaques de verre en appui sur les parois latérales 23A, 23B du montant 23.The wall 23A has a slot 25 allowing the axis 35 to move along the upright 23, during an operation of the door, and the plate 41 masks this slot. The link 34 of the device 30 is not in the axis of the upright but has a slight cantilever allowing the positioning of glass plates bearing on the side walls 23A, 23B of the upright 23.

La figure 2 montre la porte en position fermée (traits pleins) et en position ouverte (traits interrompus). Le déplacement des pièces mobiles, c'est-à-dire, la biellette 34 mobile en rotation, le galet 37 mobile en translation à l'intérieur du montant 23, la plaquette 41 entraînant l'extrémité mobile du ressort 36, y est représenté.Figure 2 shows the door in the closed position (solid lines) and in the open position (broken lines). The displacement of the movable parts, that is to say, the rod 34 movable in rotation, the roller 37 movable in translation inside the upright 23, the plate 41 driving the movable end of the spring 36, is shown there. .

En position ouverte, les références de ces pièces 34, 36, 37, 41 sont respectivement 34', 36', 37', 41'.In the open position, the references of these parts 34, 36, 37, 41 are respectively 34 ', 36', 37 ', 41'.

Les deux plaques de verre de cette porte ne sont pas représentées, mais elles sont bien entendu en appui sur chaque paroi du montant pour constituer l'une la paroi intérieure de la porte en regard de l'enceinte de cuisson, et l'autre la paroi extérieure de la porte.The two glass plates of this door are not shown, but they are of course in abutment on each wall of the upright to form one the inner wall of the door opposite the cooking chamber, and the other the outer wall of the door.

Le dispositif d'articulation et d'équilibrage, muni d'un galet de guidage, remplit son rôle de la manière suivante :

  • quand la porte est en position fermée, la biellette 34 est sensiblement dans le prolongement de la porte et le ressort 36 est légèrement tendu.
The articulation and balancing device, provided with a guide roller, fulfills its role as follows:
  • when the door is in the closed position, the link 34 is substantially in the extension of the door and the spring 36 is slightly tensioned.

Quand la porte s'ouvre, et ceci généralement suivant un angle voisin de 90°, la biellette tourne autour de l'axe d'articulation 33. On remarque donc que le galet de guidage 37 se rapproche de l'axe d'articulation 32 et ceci a pour effet de tendre le ressort de rappel. Tout au long de l'ouverture ou de la fermeture de cette porte, celle-ci sera donc équilibrée par ce moyen de rappel.When the door opens, and this generally at an angle close to 90 °, the link rotates around the hinge pin 33. It can therefore be seen that the guide roller 37 approaches the hinge pin 32 and this has the effect of tensioning the return spring. Throughout the opening or closing of this door, it will therefore be balanced by this reminder.

Avantageusement, le dispositif d'articulation et d'équilibrage constitue avec la porte, un sous-ensemble monté directement sur l'appareil de cuisson et fixé dans celui-ci par le support d'articulation.Advantageously, the articulation and balancing device constitutes with the door, a sub-assembly mounted directly on the cooking appliance and fixed in the latter by the articulation support.

Au cours du montage de la porte sur l'appareil de cuisson, il est intéressant de bloquer la porte dans une position intermédiaire correspondante à environ 15°. On maintient alors la porte dans cette position à l'aide d'une petite pièce réservée au montage et le support d'articulation peut être placé aisément dans le pied 11 de l'appareil de cuisson.During assembly of the door on the cooking appliance, it is advantageous to lock the door in an intermediate position corresponding to approximately 15 °. The door is then kept in this position using a small part reserved for mounting and the articulation support can be easily placed in the base 11 of the cooking appliance.

Une porte comporte généralement deux dispositifs d'articulation et d'équilibrage selon l'invention.A door generally comprises two articulation and balancing devices according to the invention.
