Abstract
Description
- This invention concerns a device able to open and close the lid of a washing-up machine, such as a dish-washer, a pan-washer or similar.
- The state of the art includes washing-up machines comprising a base frame, which houses the functional equipment of the machine, closed at the upper part by a lid defining with the base frame the washing compartment of the machine.
- The base lid is normally parallelepiped in shape and is able to be moved vertically, from a lowered, closed position to a raised, open position, by means of a handle hinged on the base frame.
- State-of-the-art washing-up machines are provided with a device able to facilitate the raising of the lid, normally comprising a hydraulic piston associated with the lid handle, which is also connected to compensation springs.
- Activating the piston does facilitate the raising of the lid, but at the same time makes it difficult for the operator to lower the lid since, in order to close the lid manually, he is obliged to overcome the resistance of the fluid which feeds the piston itself.
- The present Applicant has devised and embodied this invention to overcome this shortcoming and to obtain further advantages.
- The invention is set forth and characterized in the main claim, while the dependent claims describe other characteristics of the invention.
- The purpose of the invention is to achieve a device which will allow an easy and practical manual movement of the lid of washing-up machines, reducing to a minimum the effort required by those working said machines.
- To be more exact, the invention proposes to make the operation easier for the operator when he has to manually lower the lid of the washing-up machine which is provided with a fluido-dynamic piston able to raise said lid.
- The device according to the invention comprises elastic return means associated with the shaft of the fluido-dynamic piston and able to take it automatically to the inactive position when the lid is in the open position.
- In the inactive position, the fluid feeding the fluido-dynamic piston is completely discharged therefrom, so that when the lid is manually lowered the operator has to overcome only the resistance of said elastic means and not that of the fluid in the piston.
- It is therefore extremely easy and practical to lower the lid, and requires a minimum effort from the operator who has to carry it out.
- Moreover, should there be any malfunctioning of the fluido-dynamic piston, or a failure of the electric energy or a lack of feeding fluid, and therefore should it not be possible to automatically raise the lid, the lifting operation can be carried out in a completely manual fashion, with minimum effort on the part of the operator.
- These and other characteristics of the invention will become clear from the following description of a preferential form of embodiment, given as a non-restrictive example, with reference to the attached drawings wherein:
- Fig. 1
- is a front view of a washing-up machine on which the device to open the lid according to the invention is mounted;

- is a section of a first detail of the washing-up machine shown in Fig. 1;
- Figs. 5, 6 and 7
- show a second detail of the device according to the invention in three different operating conditions;
- Figs. 8, 9 and 10
- show schematically three possible feed circuits of the fluido-dynamic piston of the device according to the invention.
- With reference to the attached drawings, a
device 10 according to the invention is associated with thelid 11 of a washing-upmachine 12, which can be a dish-washer, a pan-washer or similar; thedevice 10 allows thelid 11 to be moved from a first closed position, or lowered position (Fig. 1), to a second open position, or raised position (Fig. 2), with respect to abase frame 13 of the washing-upmachine 12. - To be more exact, the
device 10 is associated with ahandle 14 of thelid 11 by means of which the latter is able to be moved vertically from one said position to the other. - The
handle 14 is laterally hinged, by means of abar 20, to arear part 15 of thebase frame 13, inside which thedevice 10 is housed. - The
handle 14 is able to assume a lowered or raised position respectively in the closed or open position of thelid 11. - In the preferential embodiment shown here, the
device 10 comprises a pair ofrods 16, substantially vertical, constrained at the upper part insideholes 18 of a mating pair offins 17 keyed onto thehandle 14 inside therear part 15. - The
rods 16 are attached at the lower part topins 19 fixed in a central position onrespective levers 21a, 21b. - Each
lever 21a, 21b is hinged at one end to therear part 15 and at the other end it is constrained to arespective compensation spring 22 which is in turn fixed to therear part 15 and which, when thelid 11 is in the closed position, is loaded, that is, under tension. - The lever 21b is constrained at the lower part to a
tubular profile 23 inside which theshaft 24 of ahydraulic piston 25 is able to slide; thecylinder 26 of thehydraulic piston 25 is constrained to therear part 15. - The
tubular profile 23 is provided with a pair oflongitudinal eyelets 27 arranged in a diametrically opposite position and being substantially equivalent in length to the travel of thehydraulic piston 25. - Above the
longitudinal eyelets 27, and in alignment therewith, thetubular profile 23 has a first pair ofrespective pins 28 protruding towards the outside. - The
shaft 24 is provided with a second pair ofpins 29, each of which is aligned with amating pin 28 and is inserted inside a respectivelongitudinal eyelet 27 along which it is able to move. - Therefore, when in a condition of abutment against the ends of the
longitudinal eyelets 27, thepins 29 define the end-of-travel positions of theshaft 24 of thehydraulic piston 25. - Each
pin 29 is also connected to themating pin 28 of thetubular profile 23 by means of arespective return spring 30. - The
hydraulic piston 25 is fed by means of acircuit 33 provided for this purpose which can have various configurations, some examples of which are shown schematically in Figs. 8, 9 and 10. - In the embodiment shown in Fig. 8, the
hydraulic piston 25 is fed with water taken by apump 34 from atank 31 provided for this purpose and mounted on the washing-upmachine 12. - In this embodiment, the water discharged from the
cylinder 26 is sent again to thetank 31 which is advantageously provided with filling means able to automatically restore the level of the water in thetank 31 in the event of evaporation. - In the embodiment shown in Fig. 9, the
circuit 33 comprises downstream of the pump 34 afirst electrovalve 35 and, downstream of this, adischarge conduit 37 provided with asecond electrovalve 36. - In this case, when the
hydraulic piston 25 is fed, thefirst electrovalve 35 is kept open and thesecond electrovalve 36 is kept closed, so that the water, taken from thetank 31, is sent inside thecylinder 26. - The water is discharged by closing the
first electrovalve 35 and opening thesecond electrovalve 36, so as to make the water flow away through thedischarge conduit 37, for example to a container containing the washing water of the washing-upmachine 12. - In a preferential embodiment of the invention, the water discharged from the
hydraulic piston 25 is sent back to thetank 31, passing through thepump 34 in the case of Fig. 8 or through thedischarge conduit 37 in the case of Fig. 9, so that the same water can be re-used to subsequently feed thehydraulic piston 25. - The
circuit 33 is therefore of the closed type and gives a considerable saving in the feed water, at the same time preventing the entry of impurities and dirt from the source of feed. - In the embodiment shown in Fig. 10, the
circuit 33 is configured in a similar manner to thecircuit 33 shown in Fig. 9, since it has the twoelectrovalves discharge conduit 37. - In this case however, it is supposed that the water supplied from the water supply has enough pressure to feed the
hydraulic piston 25 and therefore the water is taken directly from the pipes of thewater plant 32 by activating theelectrovalves - The
device 10 according to the invention functions as follows: - At the end of the rinsing cycle of the washing-up
machine 12, thehydraulic piston 25 is partly fed, by activating thepump 34 or theelectrovalves shaft 24. - During this step the
lid 11 is raised slightly, allowing the steam to be discharged from inside the washing-upmachine 12. - After a few seconds, the
hydraulic piston 25 is activated in such a manner as to take theshaft 24 to the completely lowered position (Fig. 5), causing thereturn springs 30 to be tensed and thelid 11 to be completely raised to the open position. - This lifting operation, which can optionally be accompanied by a manual action on the
handle 14 by the operator, therefore requires a minimum or nil effort on his part, and occurs gradually thanks to thecompensation springs 22 and thereturn springs 30 which balance the weight of thelid 11. - Moreover, should there be any anomalies in the functioning of the
hydraulic piston 25, or a lack of water feeding saidhydraulic piston 25, or a failure of electric energy, thelid 11 can easily be raised in a completely manual fashion, by using thehandle 14. - When the
lid 11 is completely open, or raised, feed to thehydraulic piston 25 is interrupted and thereturn springs 30 raise theshaft 24 by means of thepins 29, until the latter abut against the upper end of the longitudinal eyelets 27 (Fig. 6). - As the
shaft 24 is raised, this also causes the water inside thecylinder 26 to be discharged through thedischarge conduit 37. - When the
shaft 24 has been completely raised, thereturn springs 30 are released. - To close the
lid 11, the operator has to lower thehandle 14 to take it to the position shown by a line of dashes in Figs. 2 and 4. - In this step, the rotation of the
bar 20 in a clock-wise direction (Fig.4) causes therods 16 to be raised and then thelevers 21a and 21b to rotate upwards (Fig. 3) and thecompensation springs 22 to be tensed. - The
tubular profile 23, constrained to the lever 21b, is also raised, causing the return springs 30 to be tensed by means of the pins 28 (Fig. 7). - On the contrary, the
shaft 24 is already in its most raised position, that is, in its position of maximum extraction from thecylinder 26, and cannot follow the movement of thetubular profile 23; therefore it retains the return springs 30 at the lower part by means of thepins 29. - It is therefore much easier to close the
lid 11, since the operator as he lowers thehandle 14 has to overcome only the resistance of the return springs 30, and not that of the water feeding thehydraulic piston 25 as he would if theshaft 24 of the latter were still in the lowered position. - However, modifications and/or additions may be made to the
device 10 as described heretofore, but these shall remain within the field and scope of the invention. - For example the
piston 25 may be fed with a different fluid other than water, such as for example oil or a mixture of water and soluble oil. - It is also obvious that, although the invention is described with reference to a specific example, a skilled person in the field shall certainly be able to achieve many other equivalent forms of the device to open the lid of a washing-up machine, and these shall all come within the field and scope of this invention.
