Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a hinge device for household electric appliances and the like.
  • the object of the invention is a hinge device of the self-regulating type, fit to allow the articulation between the door and the related appliance body, preferably a dishwasher.
  • the known hinges such as self-regulating, are fit to produce a counterbalancing action during the opening and closing phases of the door linked thereto. Every hinge is provided with a kinematic motion, moving as regards the hinge movement, including elastic means, tensile or compressive stressed, in such a way that its elastic reaction varies as regards the door position and is fit to balance the weight of the door during its opening.
  • Such hinges include a series of lever elements mutually pivoted fit to constitute a mechanism providing the gradually increasing of the reaction strength of the elastic element during the door opening and so counterbalancing the moment produced by the door weight that increases as regards the increasing of the projection from the appliance frame and therefore by increasing the lever arm.
  • the main drawback of the known hinges is that to vary the counterbalancing strength exerted by the spring assembled with the appliance it is necessary to replace said spring with another able to produce a suitable counterbalancing strength.
  • the known hinges are provided with means fit to allow the adjustment of the counterbalancing force of the elastic means as regards the door weight.
  • adjustment means are constituted by small cable that, suitably tensioned through regulation screws accessible from outside of the appliance, allow opportunely to pre-load the spring in such a way to vary its initial elastic reaction.
  • the regulation systems of the hinge devices do not always allow a wide adjustment range of the counterbalancing action, therefore the same hinge is not often usable in different appliances having doors of different weights or providing for panels of different weights.
  • a hinge device also suitable for the door of household electric appliances and the like, of the type including a coupling element having a frontal wall and fixed to the frame of said hinge device fixable to the frame of a household appliance.
  • the device further includes support element, pivoted to said coupling element, through a pivot, and to which said door is fixed; first counterbalancing means, fitted to exert an antagonistic force opposing the weight force of said door.
  • Said device includes a shaped element constituted by a superior portion, to which said first counterbalancing means are hinged, by a middle portion and an inferior portion to which said support element is hinged, said shaped element having an outer contour and an inner contour turned toward said support element.
  • the device has sliding means interposed between said shaped element and said frontal wall of said coupling element and designed to allow the sliding of said shaped element on said frontal wall so as to cause the progressive increasing of the arm of said antagonistic force in consequence of the passage from a closing condition, in which said support element is faced to said frontal wall, to a condition of extreme opening, in which the axle of said support element is almost orthogonal to said frontal wall.
  • the main object of the present invention is to propose a hinge device, fit to allow the articulation between the door and the related appliance body, having a counterbalancing self-balancing and self-regulating system, without adjustment means fit to automatically counterbalance doors of variable weight within a reasonable range
  • Another object of the present invention is to propose a device of simple making, easy installation, sure and precise use.
  • Said objects are archived according to the claim content.
  • numeral 1 refers to a hinge device, particularly for the door of electric appliances and the like, including a coupling element 2, a support element 3, first counterbalancing means 6 and a shaped element 9.
  • the coupling element 2 is fixed to the frame 10 of the hinge device 1 fixable to the structure, known and not illustrated, of each electric appliance.
  • the support element 3 is pivoted to the coupling element 2 through a pivot 5 allowing the rotation.
  • a joint plate 4 is fixed near to an end of the support element 3 to which the door, known and not illustrated, is fixed. Moreover, there is an abutment 20 in correspondence of the remaining end of the support element 3.
  • the coupling element 2 has a frontal wall 12 interposed between the support element 3 and the shaped element 9.
  • the first counterbalancing means 6 are constituted by a spring 22 interposed between the head of a rod 23 and a seat 24 therefrom the free end of the rod 23 protrudes.
  • the shaped element 9 has a superior portion 9a hinged to the free end of the rod 23 and an inferior portion 9c hinged to the support element 3 through a pivot 26.
  • Such shaped element 9 has middle portion 9b defining an inner contour 7 and an outer contour 8, ppposed to the frontal wall 12.
  • the operation of the known hinge device 1 illustrated in the figures 1 and 2 is very simple, because the door opening of the appliance coupled to the support element 3 causes the passage of this latter from a closing condition C, in which the support element 3 is faced to the frontal wall 12 of the coupling element 2, and therefore the door is turned toward the body of the appliance in such a way to close the frontal opening thereof, to an extreme opening condition A, in which the longitudinal axle of the support element 3 is nearly orthogonal to the frontal wall 12, and therefore the door is almost orthogonal with the frontal opening of the appliance.
  • the opening condition A is mainly limited by the abutment 20 of the support element 3 that, consequently its rotation, contacts inwardly the frontal wall 12 of the coupling element 2
  • the support element 3 rotates on the pivot 5 causing the moving of the shaped element 9.
  • the sliding block 13 is forced to slide with friction on the frontal wall 12 exerting thereon a friction resistance force of proportionally increasing intensity as regards the door opening and therefore as regards the passage from the closing condition C to the opening condition A.
  • the rod 23 is moved downward causing the subsequent progressive compression of the spring 22,exerting an antagonist force proportionally increasing with the door opening and able to oppose the weight force.
  • the combined action of the antagonist force of the first counterbalancing means 6 and the sliding with friction of the sliding block 13 along the frontal wall 12 allows a continuous balancing of the door and of a possible covering panel coupled thereto so allowing the same door to balance in correspondence of each intermediate opening angle reached by the door.
  • the contact surface of the sliding block 13 with the frontal wall 12 is constituted by nylon enriched with a percentage of graphite ranging between 5% and 20%, and preferably it is of 12%, so that to increase the sliding friction between the surfaces.
  • the self-regulating effect is completely reached with a whole weight of the door and/or panel varying from 6 to 10 kilograms.
  • hinge device 1 object of the present invention is illustrated in figures 3, 4 and includes the use of second counterbalancing means 15.
  • Such second counterbalancing means 15 are fixed to the coupling element 2, next to its end opposed to the frontal wall 12, and are active with the outer contour 8 of the shaped element 9.
  • These means includes a lever 17 whose oscillation plain is parallel to the moving plane of the shaped element 9.
  • An end of the lever 17 is hinged, through a pivot 18, to the coupling element 2 and the remaining end is pivoted to the end of elastic means 19 while the middle portion supports an sliding element 14, directly in contact with the outer contour 8, for instance constituted by a free rolls 14a.
  • the elastic means 19 include a guiding rod 19b of a helical spring 19 subjected to compression, whose free end is slidingly supported by a bracket 16 fixed to the frame 10.
  • the operation of the hinge device 1, shown in the figures 3 and 4 is identical to the operation of the known hinge device of figures 1 and 2, with the only difference that the second counterbalancing means 15 allow to exert a further antagonistic force on the shaped element 9 proportionally increasing in correspondence of the passage from the closing condition C to the opening condition A of the door.
  • the rolls 14a rolls or slides on the outer contour 8, particularly from the middle portion 9b toward the superior portion 9a, causing the rotation of the lever 17 around the pivot 18 and therefore the crushing, that is the compression, of the spring 19a onto the bracket 16 which transmits an equal and contrary force to such stress to the shaped element 9 for interposition of the roll 14a.
  • the shaped element 9 is subjected to a further antagonist force opposing the movement thereof during the passage from the closing condition C to the extreme opening condition A and therefore increases the force against the weight force of the door and/or of the optional covering panel applied thereto.
  • the self-regulating effect is completely reached for a total weight of the door and/or of the panel varying from 6 to 14 kilograms.
  • sliding element 14 can also be constituted by a sliding block 14a which slides or runs on the outer contour 8.
  • this hinge device 1 a self-balancing condition of the weight of the door and/or of the panel-door is reached without using any adjustment means of antagonistic force of the counterbalancing means, so making a hinge device completely self-regulating for a wide range of the weight of the door and the door together with the covering panel.
  • the antagonistic force of the first counterbalancing means 6 and the further antagonist force of the second counterbalancing means 15 vary proportionally to the opening angle of the door and therefore increase in the passage from the closing C to opening A conditions, and decrease in the inverse passage, however always proportionally respectively to the increase or to the decrease of weight force of the door or of the door with the covering panel.
  • the figures 5 and 6 illustrate a second embodiment of the known hinge device 1 previously described, in which the inner contour 7 of the shaped element 9 is almost cycloidal and has an abutment 33 near the end of the superior portion 9a, and moreover is slidingly driven by the sliding means 30 constituted by a free roll 11 supported by the coupling element 2, while the outer contour 8 is almost rectilinear.
  • the portion of the shaped element 9 included between the middle portion 9b and the second end 9c has a recess 21.
  • the operation of the hinge device 1 of this second embodiment is identical to the operation of the first embodiment with the exception that the extreme opening A condition is not only mainly caused by the abutment 20 of the support element 3 that, subsequently its rotation, inwardly contacts the frontal wall 12 of the coupling element 2, but also because the recess 21 of the shaped element 9 is conformed in such a way to lean firmly on the pivot 5 and the abutment 33 is fit to contact the external surface of the roll 11.
  • a variant of the hinge device 1 includes the use of the second counterbalancing means 15 similar to those of the preferred embodiment with the exception that the lever 17 is pivoted to the pivot 18 in its central zone, one of its end is bound to the elastic means 19 while the free end rotatingly supports the free roll 14a.
  • the elastic means 19 are constituted by a spring 19a whose ends are fixed respectively to the lever 17 end and to a bracket 16 hook so that the spring 19a works in traction.
  • the elastic means 19 can be fixed to the lever 17 between the pivot 18 and the free end of this latter, supporting the sliding element 14, so that the spring 19a of the elastic means 19 works in compression rather than in traction
  • the main advantage of the present invention is therefore to furnish a hinge device, designed to allow the articulation between the door and the body of a related appliance, fitted with a counterbalancing system of the self-adjusting and self-balancing type, without adjustment means, able to counterbalance doors of weight varying automatically within a reasonable but wide range.
