Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a household dishwashing machine with front loading door.
  • Household dishwashing machine are largely known to be provided with substantially standardized overall dimensions, ie. with a width that generally amounts to either approx. 60 cm or approx. 45 cm, and a height that generally amounts to either approx. 90 cm or approx. 85 cm.
  • household dishwashing machines comprise an outer casing accomodating a washing vessel made of metal and/or plastics in its interior, said vessel being open frontally and being further arranged to be closed, through the interposition of a sealing gasket, by means of a door that is hinged on its lower side on to a horizontal axis, such as this is for instance described in GB-B-2 166 790 and the Italian utility model no. 221 380, the latter concerning in particular a dishwashing machine of the type for built-in installation.
  • the loading door has a hollow construction and usually accomodates, further to the various control and regulation means, dispensing means for the wash and rinse agents and aids, with the related wiring harnesses, which are accessible through respective apertures that are appropriately provided in an intermediate portion on the internal surface of the door, such as this is for instance described in US-A-5 330 102.
  • wash and rinse aid dipensers are practically poorly and inconveniently accessible by the user, while both manufacturing and assembly of the whole machine turn out to be undesirably complicated.
  • the present invention in particular refers to a household dishwashing machine of the preferred type, in which the upper portion of the loading door is substantially constituted by a box-like control panel structure housing at least the main control and regulation organs of the machine, such as this is described for instance in the above cited Italian utility model no. 221 380.
  • the invention is particularly suitable for application in a dishwashing machine having a height dimension of approx. 90 cm. However, it similarly applies also to dishwashing machines having a different height.
  • the dishwashing machine can be noticed to mainly include an outer casing 1 provided with two opposite side walls 2, and provided as well with a frontally protruding worktop 3 on top thereof.
  • Said outer casing 1 houses a substantially parallelepiped-shaped washing vessel 4 having the front side thereof open and capable of being closed, through the interposition of a sealing gasket 5, by means of a door 6 which is hinged on its lower side on to the outer cabinet about a horizontal axis.
  • the dishwashing machine is of the so-called "built-in" type, with the outer surface of the door 6 entirely covered by a decorative panel 7
  • the door 6 comprises on its upper side a substantially box-shaped control panel structure 8, which is preferably made of plastics and houses at least the main control and regulation organs of the machine.
  • organs are generally indicated at 9, comprise preferably push-button type devices and are accessible, when the door 9 is opened, in correspondence of the top surface of said box-shaped control panel structure 8.
  • said organs 9 are on the contrary concealed by the protruding worktop 3.
  • the washing vessel 4 has a substantially plane top wall 10, the front edge 11 of which is made to include at least a recess (indicated at 12) with respect to the front edge 13 of the side walls 2.
  • said recess 12 extends full-width between said side walls 2, and the wall 10 has a substantial thickness (of some centimeters, for instance) enabling some contrivances to be implemented, as described in greater detail further on.
  • the box-shaped control panel structure 8 is protruding towards the interior of the washing vessel 4, wherein the recess 12 of the top wall 10 is adapted to accomodate a corresponding upper portion of said control panel when the door 6 is closed.
  • the upper portion of said control panel 8 is situated above the upper inner surface of the washing vessel and is partially accomodated in the recess 12 of the top wall 10.
  • control panel structure 8 can be given an additional volume delimited by: side walls 2, thickness of the top wall 10, and depth of the recess 12.
  • said additional volume is equal to the volume of the recess 12.
  • appropriate advantage can be a taken of the above cited additional volume by using said control panel structure 8 to also house wash and/or rinse aid dispensing means therein, said dispensing means, which can be of any appropriate type for the intended application and purpose, being generally indicated at 14 in the Figures.
  • said dispensing means 14 are of the type provided with filling lids on top, which are therefore readily and conveniently accessible to the user as soon as the door 6 is opened as shown in Figure 1.
  • control panel structure 8 is capable of accomodating also a locking and releasing mechanism for the door 6, which is generally indicated at 15 in the Figures and may for instance be of the type described in GB-B-2 238 576.
  • control panel structure 8 which may be pre-assembled and tested separately.
  • the top wall 10 of the washing vessel may have a substantial thickness and may at least partly be made of plastics.
  • said wall 10 may be made to include at least a recess and/or cavity adapted to substantially accomodate further operational component parts of the machine.
  • the lower surface of the wall 10 may include a recess 16 in which at least an auxiliary rotating spray arm 17 may be accomodated without it protruding in the interior of the washing vessel 4 to any substantial extent.
  • At least a spray nozzle 18 may be provided in correspondence of the wall 10, said nozzle being then capable of spraying a jet of water towards the interior of the washing vessel and being associated to a respective water supply conduit, the end portion 19 of which extends through the space comprised in the largest overall thickness of the wall 10.
  • said spary nozzle 18 and/or said end portion 19 of the water supply conduit is made integrally with the wall 10.
  • said condenser may ion an advantageous manner be arranged in said wall 10, in correspondence of a respective recess 20.
  • Said recess 20 may be of a substantially closed type and be made integrally with the wall 10, so as to form the actual steam condenser. In any case, the space available within the largest thickness of the wall 10 is used in an optimum manner.
  • the same dishwashing machine may be of a different type, such as for instance of the so-called free-standing type shown in Figure 2, ie. without the front decorative panel 7.
  • the control and regulation organs 9 of the machine can be accessible on the front side of the control panel structure 8, which may be provided also with a handle 21 for actuating the locking and releasing mechanism 15 of the door 6.
  • the dishwashing machine may be of the built-in type shown in Figure 3, in which the outer surface of the door 6 is only partially covered by a decorative panel 7, below the control panel 8.
  • the control panel structure 8 may have a still greater depth and, therefore, feature a still greater volume adapted to accomodate the respective component parts, according to the invention.
  • At least the top wall 10 of the washing vessel 4 may of course be of the traditional type substantially made of thin sheet-metal material, as shown in Figure 4, with a front cross-piece 22 provided for stiffening and support purposes and made for instance of platic material to a larger thickness than the wall itself.
  • the recess 12 is provided on the front edge of said cross-piece 22.
