Definitions

  • the present invention regards a domestic dishwasher machine, with a front door hinged at the bottom and equipped with a detergent measurer/dispenser housed in the frame of the door which can be refilled from the top.
  • the devices for operating the machine and for dispensing the detergent are generally housed in the volume of the door, interposed between an outer front wall and an inner counterdoor, conveniently shaped through drawing to form a recess, surrounded by a frame, which increases the useful volume of the washing chamber below.
  • the operation devices are conveniently housed in the upper part of the frame and can be actuated from the top of the door or from a frontal control panel arranged at the top, the dispensing device is arranged approximately in a midway position of the counterdoor, or a bit lower, so as not to interfere with the upper rack or the lower rack with which the machine is usually equipped.
  • the dishwasher which is object of the present invention wherein the operating devices and those for dispensing are both housed in the loading door, in particular on the upper side of the frame formed by the counterdoor and are accessible for controlling the dishwasher and for loading the detergent, from the top of the door, with the door only slightly open, thus in a conveniently practicable position, while the dispensing of detergent and possible additives, takes place through suitable shutters, distinct from those for loading, which open to the inside of the washing chamber and are distinct from those for loading, which open to the top of the door, outside of the washing chamber.
  • the present invention overcomes this problem and avoids this risk in very simple ways, as defined in the appended claims.
  • the counterdoor having a recess extending practically for the entire height of the door brings to a washing chamber of increased volume which can house two larger racks of equal size, particularly in the horizontal direction corresponding to the depth of the washing chamber which has been increased by the depth of the recess of the counterdoor, or else modular racks, with a corresponding total depth, as described in the document EP0143754 , or even three racks, one of which is fixed or removably hooked to the inside of the door, in the recess of the counterdoor, immediately under the upper side of the frame.
  • figure 1 represents a dishwasher door known to the art in a perspective view from the inside.
  • a counterdoor panel 2 made of stainless steel, shaped by drawing to form a frame with upper 3, lower 4 and lateral 5, 6 sides which surround a lower recess 7, is juxtaposed to a frontal panel of which only the edge 1 is visible.
  • the frame has a flat and continuous edge, represented by the broken line 8, for a coupling which seals against spray and steam with a corresponding rubber gasket mounted on the mouth of the washing chamber.
  • a rubber gasket 9 which forms a sealing coupling with a corresponding bottom surface of the washing chamber.
  • the operating and programming devices are housed in the space between the frontal panel and the counterdoor 2, with a push-button panel conveniently accessible from the top, with the door only slightly open, or alternatively displayed on the front panel.
  • the detergent measurer and dispensing device 13 is arranged in the counterdoor 2, half way up, above the lower recess 7 and housed in the space between the frontal panel and the counterdoor.
  • the device comprises a small reservoir for after-wash liquid additives (rinse aids), with a refill cap 14 and a dosage and loading reservoir 15 for detergent powder or tablets, closed by a free-opening, curtain or rotating diaphragm shutter 16.
  • the reservoir 15 can be divided into two compartments, one for containing washing detergent, the other for containing pre-wash additives.
  • the shutter 16 is forced or polarised into the open position by a spring (not illustrated), is closed manually, is kept closed by a stop key or a pawl and is opened by an electromagnetic control which acts upon the stop device during the course of the wash cycle.
  • the same electromagnet which operates the opening of the shutter 16, in the steps following the wash cycle, can actuate a small piston pump to dispense the after-wash additives.
  • the essential function of the shutter 16 is to protect against sprays and to avoid detergent falling into the washing chamber until the start of the wash step, at least for washing detergent.
  • the pre-wash additives can, however, be dispensed into the chamber up to the start of the washing operations.
  • the opening for loading the measurer with washing detergent is the same as was used for dispensing.
  • the dispensing takes place by gravity, with the simple opening of the shutter, when the door is closed, thus in vertical position, as illustrated, according to the direction of the arrow 17.
  • the loading of the detergent must, however, be carried out according to the direction of the arrow 18 and, to avoid the falling of the detergent, the door must be arranged in a virtually horizontal position, so that the operational conditions for the loading of the different detergents and additives and for the manual closure of the shutter are extremely inconvenient.
  • the position half way up the height of the measurer/dispenser prevents the realisation of the door with an inner recess extending up to the upper side of the frame, thus making it difficult to fully exploit the volume available in the thickness of the door to increase that of the washing chamber.
  • Figure 2 by schematic comparison, represents the constructive concepts forming the basis of the present invention.
  • the counterdoor has a recess 19 extending practically for the whole height of the door and, without modifying the arrangement of the controls and the relative panel 20, or the conformation of the frame in any way, thus without the need for any modification of the body of the dishwasher machine, the measurer/dispenser device, described in detail hereafter with reference to different embodiments, is housed in the volume 21, indicated with a broken line, that being in a portion of the upper side of the frame and is equipped with two distinct openings that can be closed independently, one for the loading of the detergent in the direction of the arrow 22 and the other for the dispensing of the detergent in the direction of the arrow 23.
  • FIG. 3 The perspective views of figures 3, 5 and the section of figure 4 (according to the view A-A of figure 3 ), represent a first embodiment of the measurer/dispenser device according to the invention.
  • the measurer device consisting of a reservoir 26 for the liquid additives and two compartments 27, 28 for containing pre-wash and washing detergent, respectively, which are open at the top at the upper face of the frame for the loading of the detergent which can take place ( fig. 5 ) conveniently from above, in the direction indicated by the arrow 29, with the door of the dishwasher machine slightly open.
  • the loading of the liquid additives takes place from above, with the opening of a screw-lid, arranged on the upper face of the frame, which allows the access to the reservoir 26.
  • the front or edge face of the frame has a continuous contact surface, defined by the broken line 31, with a sealing gasket 32 ( fig. 4 ) mounted in the body 33 of the dishwasher machine (of which the upper part can be seen in fig. 4 ).
  • the dispensing of the liquid additives takes place, through a conventional command, through an opening 34 which opens on the front face of the frame, inside the washing chamber relative to the position of the gasket.
  • the compartments 27, 28 are closed by a shutter that can open, hinged above, pulled into open position by a non-illustrated spring and locked into closed position by a stop device (key or pawl) 36, which is per se known and is operated for the opening of the shutter 35 during the course of the wash cycle.
  • a stop device key or pawl
  • the function of the shutter 35 is to prevent the detergent from escaping from the compartments through gravity, until the wash cycle is activated and, for the washing detergent, until the start of the actual main washing step.
  • compartment 28 for containing washing detergent only for compartment 28 for containing washing detergent, it has the function of preventing the penetration of sprays which could cause the dissolving and carrying away of detergent before the start of the washing step.
  • the shutter 35 at the compartment 27, is equipped with openings 37, conveniently sized to prevent the escape of detergent, which is generally in granules or tablets, and at the same time to allow the penetration of sprays into the compartment which cause the detergent to be carried away from the first step of the machine's cycle.
  • the inner closing shutter can consist of two independent elements, 35A and 35B, respectively, for closing the two compartments, inside the washing chamber.
  • the element 35A is operated in a known way, during the course of the wash cycle, the element 35B can be made to open with the closing of the door of the machine, by the interference of an appendage 38 with a support frame 39, of the sealing gasket 32, inside the washing chamber, or even by inertia or gravity with the closing of the door.
  • the space for housing the control devices can be formed between or alongside the compartments or in suitable recesses thereof.
  • an important aspect to be considered consists of the fact that the compartments 27, 28 are equipped with two openings, for loading and dispensing, respectively, which are outside and inside the washing chamber, respectively.
  • the washing chamber instead of hermetically closed would be in communication with the external environment through the loading openings, a circumstance which must be avoided to prevent the escape of steam, if not of liquids, during the course of the wash cycle.
  • the compartments 27, 28 are equipped ( figures 3, 4, 5 , 16, 17 ) with a lid 42 that can be opened which in the illustrated embodiment is hinged near to the contact surface of the counterdoor with the sealing gasket.
  • the lid 42 with an appropriate sealing gasket, can be clicked open and closed, manually, on the opening for loading the compartments 27, 28 but preferably is held open by a return spring (not illustrated), and closed automatically, without the need for the user to intervene, by the interference of the lid 42 with the upper part 33 of the body of the dishwasher machine, when the door is closed.
  • bistable spring devices which, in the absence of an external intervention, keep the lid in a stable open or closed position.
  • Figures 3 and 5 represent the lid 42 in closed and open position, respectively.
  • the section of figure 4 shows the lid 42 closed, suitably conformed to abut with the upper part of the machine body which ensures its hermetic closure.
  • the lid in open position which interferes with the upper part 33 of the machine body and possibly with a working plane 44 under which the dishwasher machine can be housed flush is represented with the broken line 43.
  • Figures 6, 7, 8 represent a second embodiment of a measurer/dispenser device in section (according to the view B-B), from the front and from above, respectively. Also in this case the device is housed in the upper side of the frame of the door and consists of a reservoir 45 for liquid additives, a container 46 for washing detergent and an optional container 47 for pre-wash detergent.
  • the reservoir 45 is equipped with a refill mouth 48, open on the outside of the washing chamber, on the outer face of the frame, and closed by a screw lid 49.
  • the containers 46, 47, separated by a diaphragm 50 are equipped with an upper dispensing opening outside of the sealing gasket and closed by a first sliding shutter 51, and with a lower dispensing opening, inside the sealing gasket, closed by a second sliding shutter 52, which slides on rails 53, 54.
  • the dispensing opening and the relative shutter 52 are arranged on the inner inclined face of the frame, substantially aligned with the drawing profile of the counterdoor.
  • the sliding shutter 52 is pulled back into open position, represented in figure 8 , by a spring 57 which is housed in a groove 56 and is held in closed position by a pawl 58 ( fig. 7 ) which is actuated by conventional actuation devices.
  • the space 55 for such devices can be formed between the containers 46, 47 and the front panel, or in a volume between the reservoir 45 and the containers 46, 47.
  • the first sliding shutter 51 is actuated manually, both to open and close it.
  • the operation of the measurer is very simple: before starting the wash cycle the user pushes the shutter 52 into closed position and the shutter 51 into open position (as shown in figure 8 ) to carry out the loading of detergent.
  • a microswitch (not illustrated) can be foreseen which is actuated by the closed shutter 51 and prevents the activation of the wash cycle if the shutter has not been closed.
  • the shutter 52 is suitably equipped with openings 59, arranged at the dispenser of the container 47 when the shutter 52 is in closed position, so as to allow the entry of the washing liquid with the activation of the machines cycle. It is also possible to foresee a window 60, for the entry of liquid, in the wall of the container 47.
  • a hinged lid 62 like that of the embodiment described with reference to figures 3, 4, 5 and to close the dispensing opening one can adopt a sliding shutter 63, the same as that of the embodiment of figure 6 , from which it differs, in the presented alternative, only because it is arranged in a vertical plane.
  • the useful space 64 for the electromechanical actuation devices is formed under the container 61, which is suitably funnel-shaped.
  • the section of figure 12 shows an embodiment wherein the loading opening opens inside the washing chamber and is closed by a lid 68, hinged about an axis 69.
  • a spring which is not illustrated tightens to open the lid, with a rotation represented by the arrow 70.
  • the lid 68 is preferably closed automatically, with the closing of the door, by interference with the sealing gasket 32 and with the relative support 72.
  • the dispenser opening's shutter is identical to that of figures 6, 7, 8 and does not require explanations.
  • the section view of figure 11 shows a variant which can be considered the combination of the versions represented in figure 10 and figure 12 .
  • the loading opening partially opens on the inside and partially on the outside of the washing chamber, relative to the sealing gasket 32, and is closed by a lid 75 which is hinged about an axis 76 and arranged automatically in closed position by interference with the sealing gasket 32, which forms a seal with said lid.
  • the lid 75 can have an opening which faces a water jet nozzle 74.
  • Figures 13, 14 represent a solution of this type in perspective view and figure 15 represents it in section view.
  • FIG 13 which represents a portion of the door, in open position, the opening for loading the compartment 77, for the washing detergent, is closed by a sliding shutter 78, represented in open position.
  • the loading opening opens inside the sealing gasket which abuts onto the frame of the door, along the broken line 79.
  • the opening for loading the compartment 80 for pre-wash detergent is never closed by the shutter 78, to allow the detergent to be carried away right from the start of the machine's cycle, due to sprays or preferably due to a water jet nozzle positioned on the loading opening.
  • the compartment 80 is equipped with dispenser openings 81, which are permanently open.
  • the dispenser opening 83 ( fig. 14 ) of the compartment 77 for example, but not necessarily, shaped like the segment of a circle, is closed by a flat shutter which rotates on a pin 84, perpendicular to the plane of the shutter.
  • the shutter 82 is pulled open by a non-illustrated spring and is kept closed by a pawl 85 which engages in a step 86 on the outer edge of the shutter.
  • the shutter 82 is also equipped with an arm or appendage 88 which forms, with a tab 87, integral with the sliding shutter 78, a device for interlocking through interference: if, due to the user being distracted, the sliding shutter 78 is not closed, the interference of the tab 87 with the appendage 88 prevents the opening of the shutter 82, even if the pawl is dislocated from the step 86 by the intervention of the control devices (electromagnet 189 in fig. 15 and the relative linkage).
  • the interlocking device has also the advantageous function of causing the closure and the displacement of the shutter 82 upon the simple actuation of the sliding shutter 78 in open position.
  • the greater available volume, formed inside the door, can be used, as illustrated as an example in the perspective view of figure 18 which replicates figure 2 with the same reference numbers, to house a cutlery basket 90, arranged directly below the upper side of the frame, fixed or removably hooked in the recess 19 of the counterdoor.
  • figures 19, 20, 21 represent a possible variant of the embodying solution described with reference to figures 6, 7, 8 .
  • the opening for loading the compartment for the pre-wash detergent is permanently open inside the washing chamber.
  • the dispenser of the compartment for the pre-wash detergent consists of suitable slits 95 which hold the detergent granules or powder but allows its removal when sprayed with a water jet through the slits themselves or the loading opening.
  • a tab 96 with slits 97 closes the dispenser opening of the compartment for the washing detergent and allows both the dry loading (in tablets, granules or powder) and the dispensing of the sprayed detergent through the slits 97 and/or the loading opening.
  • the shutter 89 when the loading is completed, is translated manually and is kept closed by the hooking of a pawl 98 ( fig. 21 ).
  • the slits 97 face the slits 95 to allow the dispensing of the pre-wash detergent by sprays whereas the compartment for the washing detergent is completely closed and protected from the sprays.
  • FIGS 22, 23, 24 represent a slight variant of the embodiment just described.
  • the two compartments for the washing and pre-wash detergent are not adjacent, but conveniently spaced: the actuation devices can be housed in the space between them.
  • the shutter similar to that of figures 19, 20, 21 , can take up three stable positions.
  • the user For the loading of the detergent the user partially displaces the shutter in order to engage the pawl 98 in a suitable notch 99 in the shutter ( fig. 23 ).
  • the loading opening for the pre-wash detergent is also open.
  • the shutter 89 is fully displaced ( fig. 24 ), in such a way closing the loading opening 92.
  • the inertia of the pawl suitably shaped if necessary, in relation to the translation speed of the shutter, prevents the shutter from becoming locked in an intermediate position.
