Description

La présente invention concerne un lave-linge muni d'un trop plein.The present invention relates to a washing machine provided with an overflow.

Selon une règlementation en vigueur, un réseau de distribution d'eau potable ne doit pas être souillé par une eau contaminée se trouvant dans des appareils qu'il alimente, tels que des appareils industriels, des appareils électroménagers par exemple des lave-linge.According to current regulations, a drinking water distribution network must not be contaminated by contaminated water found in devices it supplies, such as industrial devices, household appliances, for example washing machines.

En ce qui concerne un lave-linge, deux dispositions ont été habituellement adaptées pour respecter cette réglementation. Une première de ces dispositions se concrètise par une séparation spatiale ou un passage à air libre, entre une entrée du lave-linge et une buse d'alimentation en eau reliée à un réseau de distribution. Une deuxième de ces dispositions consiste à pourvoir un lave-linge d'un trop plein qui évacue un excès accidentel d'eau afin d'empêcher celle-ci d'atteindre une buse d'alimentation en eau de ce lave-linge, reliée à un réseau de distribution. Plusieurs solutions ont été proposées pour réaliser un tel trop plein dans un lave-linge. Cependant, ces solutions connues envisagent en général une structure compliquée et onéreuse comportant souvent plusieurs pièces en coopération dont les unes montées sur un dispositif qui est relié en vases communicants avec la cuve du lave-linge, constituent un trop plein, et les autres fixées sur une carrosserie de ce lave-linge, servent de guide d'évacuation d'eau.With regard to a washing machine, two provisions have usually been adapted to comply with these regulations. A first of these arrangements takes the form of a spatial separation or a passage in the open air, between an inlet of the washing machine and a water supply nozzle connected to a distribution network. A second of these provisions consists in providing a washing machine with an overflow which discharges an accidental excess of water in order to prevent it from reaching a water supply nozzle of this washing machine, connected to a distribution network. Several solutions have been proposed to achieve such an overflow in a washing machine. However, these known solutions generally envisage a complicated and expensive structure often comprising several parts in cooperation, some of which mounted on a device which is connected in vessels communicating with the tank of the washing machine, constitute an overflow, and the others fixed on a bodywork of this washing machine, serve as a guide for water evacuation.

Un brevet français FR-A-1 564 391 présente un système de trop-plein permettant de déverser l'eau à l'extérieur d'un distributeur tournant de lave-linge.A French patent FR-A-1 564 391 presents an overflow system allowing water to be poured outside a rotating washing machine distributor.

La présente invention visant à éviter ces inconvénients permet de réaliser un lave-linge muni d'un trop plein économique et efficace.The present invention aimed at avoiding these drawbacks makes it possible to produce a washing machine provided with an economic and efficient overflow.

Un lave-linge selon l'invention est défini par la revendication 1.A washing machine according to the invention is defined by claim 1.

Pour mieux faire comprendre l'invention, on en décrit ci-après un exemple de réalisation illustré par des dessins ci-annexés dont :

  • la figure 1 représente une vue schématique partielle en coupe verticale d'un lave-linge muni d'un trop plein, et
  • la figure 2 représente à une autre échelle une vue d'une partie du lave-linge de la figure 1 montrant un trop plein intégré à une boite à produits en coupe verticale.
To better understand the invention, we describe hereinafter an exemplary embodiment illustrated by appended drawings including:
  • FIG. 1 represents a partial schematic view in vertical section of a washing machine provided with an overflow, and
  • 2 shows on another scale a view of part of the washing machine of Figure 1 showing an overflow integrated into a product box in vertical section.

Un lave-linge 1 selon un exemple de réalisation schématiquement et partiellement illustré dans la figure 1, comprend une carrosserie 2, une cuve 3, un tambour à linge 4, et un dispositif mixte d'alimentation en eau et produits lessiviels, appelé dans la suite boîte à produits 6 dont les compartiments d'admission d'eau et de maintien des doses de produits sont individuellement séparés par des cloisons mais communément reliés en vases communicants avec la cuve 3 par un tuyau souple 7.A washing machine 1 according to an exemplary embodiment schematically and partially illustrated in FIG. 1, comprises a body 2, a tank 3, a washing drum 4, and a mixed device for supplying water and detergents, called in the following product box 6, the water intake and product dose holding compartments are individually separated by partitions but commonly connected in vessels communicating with the tank 3 by a flexible pipe 7.

La cuve 3 est alimentée en eau par une canalisation 12 dont l'une des extrémités est reliée à un réseau de distribution d'eau 14 à travers une électrovanne 15 commandée par un tableau de commande 10 et l'autre extrémité est connectée à une buse d'alimentation représentée en traits discontinus en 17. Cette buse 17 est spatialement séparée des entrées des compartiments de la boîte à produits 6 par un passage à air libre non représenté.The tank 3 is supplied with water by a pipe 12, one end of which is connected to a water distribution network 14 through a solenoid valve 15 controlled by a control panel 10 and the other end is connected to a nozzle feed represented in broken lines at 17. This nozzle 17 is spatially separated from the entrances of the compartments of the product box 6 by a free air passage not shown.

Selon l'invention, un lave-linge pourvu d'une cuve, d'un tambour à linge et d'une carrosserie comprend dans l'espace intérieur de la carrosserie un dispositif qui, relié en vases communicants avec la cuve, comporte dans une partie faisant face à l'une des parois latérales de cette carrosserie et à un niveau préétabli dans le lave-linge, une tubulure saillante dont l'extrémité d'entrée liée à ce dispositif et pourvue d'un seuil à l'écoulement de l'eau, sert de déversoir à trop plein et dont l'extrémité libre de sortie, disposée à proximité de la surface interne de cette paroi latérale de la carrosserie et munie d'une lèvre terminale, fonctionne en guide d'écoulement et d'évacuation d'eau.According to the invention, a washing machine provided with a tank, a washing drum and a bodywork comprises in the interior space of the bodywork a device which, connected in vessels communicating with the tank, comprises in a party doing facing one of the side walls of this bodywork and at a predetermined level in the washing machine, a protruding tube whose inlet end linked to this device and provided with a threshold for the flow of water , serves as an overflow weir and whose free outlet end, disposed near the internal surface of this side wall of the body and provided with a terminal lip, functions as a flow guide and evacuation of water.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré, le lave-linge 1 comprend un dispositif mixte d'alimentation en eau et produits lessiviels ou boîte à produits 6 qui, relié en vases communicants avec la cuve 3 au moyen du tuyau souple 7, comporte dans sa partie orientée vers une paroi latérale 20 de la carrosserie 2, une tubulure saillante 22 servant à la fois de déversoir à trop plein et de guide d'écoulement et d'évacuation d'eau.In the illustrated embodiment, the washing machine 1 comprises a mixed device for supplying water and detergents or product box 6 which, connected in communicating vessels with the tank 3 by means of the flexible pipe 7, comprises in its part oriented towards a side wall 20 of the bodywork 2, a projecting tube 22 serving both as an overflow weir and as a guide for flow and evacuation of water.

La tubulure saillante 22 comprend d'une part une extrémité d'entrée 23 liée à la boîte à produits 6 et pourvue d'un seuil à l'écoulement de l'eau 24, et d'autre part une extrémité libre de sortie 26 disposée à proximité de la surface interne de la paroi latérale 20 de la carrosserie 2 et munie d'une lèvre terminale 27.The protruding tube 22 comprises on the one hand an inlet end 23 linked to the product box 6 and provided with a threshold for the flow of water 24, and on the other hand a free outlet end 26 disposed close to the internal surface of the side wall 20 of the bodywork 2 and provided with an end lip 27.

La lèvre terminale 27 est de préférence une lèvre en un matériau flexible.The terminal lip 27 is preferably a lip made of a flexible material.

La tubulure saillante 22 est disposée à un niveau prédéterminé "h" dans le lave-linge 1. Ce niveau h se trouve nettement au-dessous d'un niveau H où est montée la buse d'alimentation en eau 17 reliée au réseau de distribution d'eau 14.The protruding tubing 22 is disposed at a predetermined level "h" in the washing machine 1. This level h is clearly below a level H where the water supply nozzle 17 connected to the distribution network is mounted. of water 14.

Lors d'un remplissage en eau de la cuve 3 du lave-linge 1, si l'électrovanne 15 actionnée par un programmateur non représenté faisant partie du tableau de commande 10 est en panne et ne coupe pas l'alimentation en eau de la cuve 3 lorsqu'un niveau maximal prédéterminé admissible d'eau dans cette cuve 3 est atteint, l'eau venant du réseau 14 continue à entrer dans la cuve 3, et pénètre au fur et à mesure dans différents dispositifs du lave-linge tels que la boîte à produits 6 qui sont mis en vases communicants avec cette cuve 3. Le niveau d'eau monte dans le lave-linge 1 et tend à atteindre le niveau h où se trouve la tubulure 22. Quand l'eau dépasse le seuil 24 de l'entrée de la tubulure 22, elle le déborde à la manière d'un trop plein, s'écoule à travers la tubulure 22 puis sur la lèvre terminale 27, et s'évacue en s'étalent sur la surface interne de la paroi latérale 20 de la carrosserie, en ruisselant le long de cette paroi 20 de haut en bas et en quittant le lave-linge au niveau du sol.When filling the tank 3 of the washing machine 1 with water, if the solenoid valve 15 actuated by a programmer (not shown) forming part of the control panel 10 is faulty and does not cut the water supply to the tank 3 when a predetermined maximum admissible level of water in this tank 3 is reached, the water coming from the network 14 continues to enter the tank 3, and penetrates progressively in different washing machine devices such as the product box 6 which are placed in communicating vessels with this tank 3. The water level rises in the washing machine 1 and tends to reach the level h where the tubing 22 is located When the water exceeds the threshold 24 of the inlet of the tubing 22, it overflows it in the manner of an overflow, flows through the tubing 22 then on the terminal lip 27, and is discharged in spread over the internal surface of the side wall 20 of the bodywork, flowing along this wall 20 from top to bottom and leaving the washing machine at ground level.

Les dimensions de la tubulure 22 sont préétablies pour obtenir un débit d'évacuation d'eau du lave-linge 1, au moins égal à un débit maximal d'alimentation en eau de ce lave-linge 1 par la buse d'alimentation 17, ce qui empêche d'une manière absolue l'eau entrant le lave-linge 1 de dépasser un niveau de sécurité S qui avoisine le niveau h où se trouve la tubulure 22. Ainsi, l'eau entrant dans le lave-linge 1 durant une panne de l'électro-vanne 15 ne peut jamais atteindre la buse d'alimentation en eau 17 et venir souiller le réseau de distribution d'eau 14.The dimensions of the tubing 22 are preset to obtain a water discharge rate from the washing machine 1, at least equal to a maximum water supply rate for this washing machine 1 by the supply nozzle 17, which absolutely prevents the water entering the washing machine 1 from exceeding a safety level S which is close to the level h where the tubing is located 22. Thus, the water entering the washing machine 1 during a failure of the solenoid valve 15 can never reach the water supply nozzle 17 and contaminate the water distribution network 14.

La paroi latérale 20 de la carrosserie 2 sur laquelle s'étale et s'écoule l'eau évacuée par la tubulure 22 peut être une paroi latérale quelconque du lave-linge 1. Dans l'exemple illustré à la figure 1, la paroi latérale 20 choisie est une paroi frontale du lave-linge 1. Dans ce cas, l'eau descendant de cette paroi 20 forme avantageusement une nappe d'eau sur le sol devant le lave-linge 1, ce qui permet à l'utilisateur de se rendre compte d'une défaillance de l'arrêt de l'alimentation de l'appareil en eau d'une manière plus rapide que celle se produisent si le paroi latérale 20 choisie était une paroi arrière du lave-linge 1 et la nappe d'eau qui formait sur le sol, était à l'arrière de l'appareil, à l'abri d'une vue directe de l'utilisateur.The side wall 20 of the body 2 on which the water discharged through the tube 22 spreads and flows can be any side wall of the washing machine 1. In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the side wall 20 chosen is a front wall of the washing machine 1. In this case, the water descending from this wall 20 advantageously forms a sheet of water on the floor in front of the washing machine 1, which allows the user to report a failure in stopping the water supply to the appliance in a faster way than that would occur if the side wall 20 chosen was a rear wall of the washing machine 1 and the water that formed on the ground, was at the rear of the device, away from direct view of the user.

Dans l'exemple illustré, la tubulure 22 qui constitue une partie intégrante du dispositif mixte d'alimentation en eau et produits lessiviels ou boîte à produits 6, forme ainsi avantageusement avec cette boîte à produits 6 une pièce monobloc en une matière synthétique moulée ou injectée. Dans cet exemple de réalisation, un trop plein du lave-linge 1 constitué par cette tubulure 22, ne nécessite ni fabrication de pièces spéciales ni montage ou assemblage de pièces composantes, ce qui permet d'obtenir une appréciable économie de temps et de main d'oeuvre et par conséquent un prix de revient intéressent du lave-linge 1.In the example illustrated, the tubing 22 which constitutes an integral part of the mixed water supply device and detergent products or product box 6, thus advantageously forms with this product box 6 a single piece of a molded or injected synthetic material. In this exemplary embodiment, an overflow of the washing machine 1 constituted by this tubing 22, does not require either the manufacture of special parts or the assembly or assembly of component parts, which allows an appreciable saving of time and labor to be obtained. 'work and therefore a cost of interest of the washing machine 1.

Dans l'exemple illustré, le tubulure 22 étant une partie Intégrante du dispositif mixte d'alimentation en eau et produits lessiviels 6, selon l'invention, la tubulure 22 petit faire partie intégrante d'un autre dispositif et que le dispositif mixte d'alimentation en eau et produits lessiviels 6 et qui est également mis en vases communicants avec la cuve du lave-linge. Ce dispositif peut être soit un dispositif d'alimentation en eau seule de la cuve du lave-linge soit une boîte à produits lessiviels exclusivement.In the example illustrated, the tubing 22 being an Integral part of the mixed device for supplying water and detergents 6, according to the invention, the tubing 22 can be an integral part of another device and the mixed device of water supply and detergents 6 and which is also placed in communicating vessels with the washing machine tank. This device can be either a device for supplying water only to the washing machine tank or a box for detergents only.
