Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to built-in domestic appliances lined with decorative panels, and in particular to domestic appliances installed in kitchen furniture which completely encloses them (so-called "fully integrated"). Reference will be made hereafter to a dishwasher while it is clear that what is said applies to any other domestic appliance with similar decorative panels, e.g. a washing machine.
- This type of decorative panels is known to be used to camouflage a built-in appliance so that it blends with the kitchen furniture. This is achieved by applying to the door of said appliance, by various means, a top panel having the same appearance of the other doors. In this way there is no visible element allowing to distinguish the appliance from the other members which make up the kitchen, its controls being accessible only when the door is open.
- Moreover, below the panel applied to the door there is a plinth which acts as complementary bottom panel to maintain the continuity of the lining while allowing the opening of the door.
- However, the presence of these panels poses particular problems in the case of installation inside a piece of furniture, i.e. when the dishwasher rests on a shelf or on the bottom of the furniture and is placed flush with the side walls thereof. In fact in this case the top panel must also cover the front edge of said side walls, same as normally occurs with the other doors. But in this way it would interfere with the walls when the dishwasher door is opened and the panel moves back into the space behind the plinth.
- The solutions presently available to prevent such an interference are only those of forming a recess in the side walls or of hinging the panel directly to the piece of furniture which contains the dishwasher. In the first case it is required to carry out a significant work of furniture adaptation to form in the sides the space for receiving the panel when the door is opened. In the second case it is necessary to mount a spacer on the bottom of the furniture and to find the exact hinging level for a smooth operation of the panel. Moreover, the plinth cannot be applied and must be replaced by an underlying element, such as the front face of a bottom drawer, to cover the spacer and the hinges mounted thereon.
- In both cases these additional workings make the installation long and costly, and moreover the direct mounting on the furniture causes a further drawback. In fact the presence of the spacer on the furniture bottom makes complicated to pull the dishwasher out of the furniture if need arises for a maintenance intervention, since it is necessary to take away and then put back in place the spacer on the furniture as well as the panel on the dishwasher door.
- In order to overcome these drawbacks the applicant has already devised a mounting system with upward sliding of the top panel with respect to the door upon opening (European application n.02425296.7). However also this solution is not completely satisfying since it is not applicable to doors where the control panel is permanently visible, and therefore projects over the panel, neither allows the lowering of the panel with the door closed because the panel is secured to the machine base at its bottom.
- The problem of lowering the panel is dealt with by the applicant also in the European application n.02425353.6 with specific reference to the presence of the plinth flush with the top panel. In this case the mounting system of the top panel is carried only by the door and allows the lowering even with the door closed. The drawback still remains however that the panel must be of greater height than the door to allow the complete opening at 90° of the latter, which otherwise would interfere with the underlying plinth, whereby the plinth must have a limited height and it is not possible to use for it a bottom panel of standard height.
- In order to overcome also these drawbacks the applicant has already devised a mounting system of the bottom panel or plinth in which the plinth is mounted through a parallelogram hinge secured to the base of the machine itself, preferably through a height-adjustable support, and controlled through a bar integral with the door so as to incline the plinth forward upon opening of the door (European application n.02425448.4). However even this solution is not completely satisfactory in that the mechanism described in said application causes a quite sharp movement of the plinth, with a consequent non-negligible mechanical stress of the mechanism.
- Therefore the object of the present invention is to provide a domestic appliance provided with a mounting system of the bottom panel or plinth which overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks.
- This object is achieved by means of a domestic appliance in which the plinth is mounted through a system as recited in
claim 1. - The main advantage of the domestic appliance with the plinth mounting system according to the present invention is the much "softer" movement of the plinth, which results is advantages as to silence and reliability.
- Furthermore this domestic appliance obviously retains the advantages of the above-mentioned previous mechanism, such as the possibility of using any mounting system for the top panel applied to the door, so that no difficulty results in the installation inside the furniture, nor in the lowering of the top panel with the door closed to check the cycle phase and/or to discharge air through a suitable top grid during the drying phase.
- A further advantage of this solution is that of being able to use as plinth also panels of standard height, typically 18 cm, since it is no longer necessary that the top panel is higher than the door. In particular, the invention is applied to reduced-height dishwashers housed in a space of the furniture usually intended to house drawers, or shelves or an oven.
- These and other advantages and features of the domestic appliance according to the present invention will be evident to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of an embodiment thereof, with reference to the attached drawings, wherein:
- Fig. 1 is a partial see-through side view of a dishwasher according to the invention, showing in detail the mounting and moving system of the bottom panel in the closed door condition;
- Fig. 2 is a view similar to the preceding one showing an initial phase of the door opening, at an angle of about 15°;
- Fig. 3 is a view similar to the preceding one showing an intermediate phase of the door opening, at an angle of about 35°; and
- Fig. 4 is a view similar to the preceding one with the door fully open at about 90°.
-
- With reference to figs. 1 and 2, there is seen that a domestic appliance according to the present invention is provided with a mounting and moving system of a
bottom panel 12 which clearly results arranged flush between thedecorative panel 11 ofdoor 9 and apanel 13 of the underlying piece of furniture (e.g. the front face of a drawer). - This system includes a
support 1, substantially C-shaped and secured in the bottom front portion of thebase 10 of the domestic appliance, at whose ends there are pivoted anupper rod 2 andlower rod 3 of a parallelogram hinge through respective pins B and A. The forward ends of theserods plate 4 which carries thebottom panel 12. - On pin B there is also pivoted a
lever 5 extending downward until it comes in contact withpanel 12, as well as extending upward into an arm where there is formed aslot 15, open at the distal end, in which a pin G is introduced. This pin G is carried by ahorizontal rod 8 which is pivoted at the forward end through a pin C to avertical bar 6 integral withdoor 9, while at the rear end it is guided by a pin D, secured tobase 10, sliding within aslot 14. - The
horizontal rod 8 is also connected to theupper rod 2 through a connectingrod 7 pivoted between a pin E, located in the lower portion ofrod 8, and a pin F located at the bottom end of a bottom extension 2' ofrod 2 extending below pin B. - The simple and effective operation of the present mounting and moving system for
panel 12 is readily understood from the description above with the help of figs.3 and 4. - At the beginning of the opening, door 9 (thanks to "variable fulcrum" hinges) performs a rototranslational movement which prevents in the first 10-15° of opening the interference between
panel 11 and the underlying panel 12 (fig.2). The door movement, throughbar 6 and pin C, causes the rearward translation of thehorizontal rod 8 on the fixed pin D, while determining a clockwise rotation of thepush lever 5 around pin B, and a traction on the connectingrod 7 through pin E. - The traction on
rod 7 causes in turn, through pin F, a counter-clockwise rotation of theupper rod 2, which together with the push oflever 5 produces a forward movement ofpanel 12. In thisway panel 12 performs a rototranslational movement along the path allowed byrods rod 2 is directly driven byrod 7,rod 3 is "pulled" by the movement ofpanel 12. - This calculated movement of
panel 12 allows the advancing and rearward inclination thereof without interference either with theoverlying panel 11 or theunderlying panel 13. - It should be noted that after 20-25° of opening the
push lever 5 no longer acts onpanel 12 since the lever arm ofrod 7 onrod 2 with respect to pin B is such that it is sufficient to continue autonomously in the movement. In fact at a certain moment pin G comes out through the open end of slot 15 (fig. 3), whilelever 5 remains in that position thanks to the presence of a torsion spring (not shown) mounted on pin B. - When the complete opening of
door 9 is reached (fig. 4),rods position bringing panel 12 to an advanced and lowered position in which there is no interference withpanel 11. It should also be noted that thelower rod 3 is shaped so as to avoid interference with theunderlying panel 13, since the straight connection line between pins A, A' is lower than the top edge of said panel. - In the reverse closing movement, in order to facilitate the raising of
panel 12 provided by the push ofrod 8 onrod 2, throughrod 7 and extension 2', also two torsion springs (not shown) mounted on pins A and B cooperate by producing a clockwise push onrods - From the above figures it is clear that in no phase of the movement the
top panel 11 or thebottom panel 12 move closer to the dishwasher or mutually interfere, or interfere with theunderlying panel 13, whereby there is no problem of interference with the furniture sides. Furthermore, since the whole mounting system is secured to the dishwasher, the latter can be easily pulled out of the furniture for maintenance, if any, without requiring the removal of any member of the furniture. - It is clear that the above-described and illustrated embodiment of the domestic appliance according to the invention is just an example susceptible of various modifications. In particular, the exact shape and arrangement of the levers and pins can be somewhat changed according to specific needs, as long as the above-described type of movement of
panel 12 is retained.
