Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a washing machine and / or dryer laundry drum closed by a door.
  • Known washing machines or clothes drying machines usually include a door and a security system comprising a microswitch mounted in a flange of the opening of these machines and a latching finger fixed on this door so as to actuate it. microswitch when the latter is in the closed position and thus allow these machines to be started by an on-off switch.
  • the aim of the present invention is to avoid these drawbacks and makes it possible to produce an economical washing machine and / or dryer for laundry with a drum, effective in operating safety in which the laundry drum is provided with a door and a locking system with a solid, simple structure, comprising few elements which are easy to manufacture, to assemble and operate.
  • a machine for washing and / or drying linen with a drum closed by a gate blocked in the closed position by a locking system is characterized in that in the laundry drum, the gate ensures, according to its positions , two functions, that of closing the opening of this drum when it is in the closed position, and that of preventing rotation of the drum back and forth when it is in the open position, and the system according to its positions, the locking mechanism of this gate provides three functions, that of locking the gate when it is closed when it is in the closed position, that of preventing the tumble drum from rotating from back to front and that of prohibiting the dryer when it is in the open position.
  • the invention is applicable to a drum machine such as a washing machine, a washer-dryer and a dryer.
  • a dryer 1 schematically and partially illustrated in Figure 1, comprises a body 2 provided in a top 3 with an opening 4 closed by a door 5 of the device.
  • the dryer 1 comprises in its enclosure a laundry drum 6 rotating around a horizontal axis and provided, in its cylindrical side wall, with an opening 9 closed by a single-leaf door 7 which, by covering is presses in its closed position on the edge of this opening 9 and follows the cylindrical surface of the drum 6.
  • the gate 7 is mounted by its rear edge on the rear edge of this opening 9 of the drum 6, pivoting about a horizontal axis 8, provided with springs 10 and 11 which constantly remind it in its open position.
  • the gate 7 is locked in its closed position (FIGS. 3 and 4) by a locking system 15.
  • the door 7 provides, according to its positions, two functions, that of closing the opening 9 of this laundry drum 6, when is in the closed position (FIGS. 3 and 4) and that for preventing the drum 6 from rotating back and forth when it is in the open position, and the locking system 15 provides three functions, depending on its positions, that of blocking the gate 7 when it is in the closed position (FIGS. 3 and 4), that of prohibiting rotation of the drum 6 from back to front and that of prohibiting starting the dryer 1 when in the open position.
  • the gate 7 comprises in its front part a depression or hollow 12 provided with at least one projecting retaining lug intended to cooperate with the locking system 15 to block the gate 7 when the latter is in the closed position .
  • the door 7 comprises in its front depression 12, two lateral retaining lugs projecting forward 13,14.
  • the locking system of the door 7 of the laundry drum 6 is constituted by a lever-handle 15, the end of the side of the lever is mounted on the front edge of the opening 9 of this drum 6, pivoting about a horizontal axis 16 and provided with springs 17, 18 which constantly remind the lever-handle in its unlocked position and whose end on the side of the handle is free and provided with a flap 19 serving as a handle, articulated at a predetermined angle reduced around a horizontal axis 20, and constantly recalled, by springs not shown, against stops 21, 22 formed in this lever-handle 15.
  • the dryer 1 includes a safety system operation comprising on the one hand a start-up safety microswitch 26, mounted in series in the electrical circuit of the dryer 1 and fixed in the top 3, in alignment with an access hole 24 formed in a flange of the opening 4 and on the other hand a locking finger 25 fixed in an edge of the door 5 of the dryer 1 so as either to enter this access hole 24 when the door 5 is closed, to activate the safety microswitch 26, put it in the insertion position and consequently establish a junction in this electrical circuit of the dryer 1 and thus allow the dryer to be started by an on-off switch not shown, either at disengage from this access hole 24 when the door 5 opens, to release the safety microswitch 26, put it in its rest position, create an interruption in the electrical circuit of the dryer 1, and prevent thus any activation of the dryer 1 by the market switch e-stop.
  • a safety system operation comprising on the one hand a start-up safety microswitch 26, mounted in series in the electrical circuit of the dryer 1 and fixed in the top 3, in alignment with an access
  • the dryer 1 comprises in the region of the rim of the opening 4 from above 3 covering the hole 24 for access to the microswitch 26, a recess or recess 23 intended to accommodate, by interlocking preferably flush with the surface, the lever-handle 15 which constitutes the locking system for the door 7 of the laundry drum 6.
  • the door 7 When the laundry drum 6 is closed, the door 7 is first pivoted about its axis 8 downwards and applied against the edge of the opening 9 of this drum then the lever-handle 15 constituting the locking system is also pivoted about its axis 16 downwards until it enters the front depression 12 of the door 7 exerts an elastic pressure on the latter, and that its flap 19 snaps under the retaining pins 13,14 of this door 7 to lock it in its closed position.
  • the door 5 can then be closed and the latching finger 25 can penetrate the hole 24, actuate this microswitch 26, establish a junction in the electrical circuit of the dryer and allow the appliance to be started by the switch On Off.
  • the lever-handle 15 fulfills on the one hand its second function of prohibiting rotation of the laundry drum 6 from back to front by its wedging against the front edge of the opening 4 from above 3 and on the other hand its third function of prohibiting the operation of the dryer 9 by the on-off switch of the apparatus, by hiding by its flap 19 the hole 24 for access to the microswitch 26 and thus preventing the locking finger 25 from entering the hole 24 and actuating this microswitch 26 to remove an interruption created by the latter in the electrical circuit of the dryer 1 and establish an electrical junction in this circuit.
  • the gate 7 which, unlocked by the withdrawal of the lever-handle 15, leaves its first function of closing the opening 9 of the laundry drum 6, is automatically recalled by its springs 10 and 11 in its position opening where by its application against the rear edge of the opening 4 of the top 3 of the dryer 1, and fulfills its second function of prohibiting rotation of the washing drum 6 from front to back.
  • the microswitch 26 creates an interruption in the electrical circuit of the appliance, which makes it impossible to start the dryer 1 by inattention by the on-off switch. and prevents the user from a bodily accident by his free access to the laundry drum. If door 5 is inadvertently closed, the user no longer has access to the laundry drum 6, and the dryer 1 can be started without causing a personal injury or mechanical damage to the laundry drum 6.
  • the microswitch 26 creates an interruption in the electrical circuit of the appliance and the lever-handle 15 of the system.
  • the locking finger 25 cannot enter the hidden hole 24 by the flap 19 of the lever-handle 15 and actuate the microswitch 26 to establish a junction in the electrical circuit of the dryer 1, and it is then impossible to start the dryer 1 by the on-off switch in other words impossible to rotate the laundry drum 6 which avoids all mechanical damage to this laundry drum and personal injury to the user.
  • the door 7 of the laundry drum 6 and its locking system constituted by the lever-handle 15 described above which thus have a simple structure, comprising a reduced number of mechanically solid elements, easy to manufacture, to assemble, economical, contribute not only to giving the manufacture of the dryer 1 an economical price but also to ensuring high safety in the operation of the dryer 1.
