Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rotary drum door adapted to close an opening in the shell of the drum.
  • It also relates to a washing machine and / or drying laundry, equipped with such a drum door.
  • the present invention applies to a washing machine or dryer, provided with a rotary drum with radial loading, through an opening in the drum shell.
  • the loading and removal of the laundry drum are performed at the perimeter of the drum, and generally from above the machine, the latter having in the upper plane of its body a drum access door.
  • this rotary drum is equipped with a door with two leaves, these leaves being hinged independently respectively at two opposite edges of the opening.
  • each leaf is mounted by one of its sides in rotation about an axis integral with an edge of the opening.
  • the opening of these leaves is generally achieved through the implementation of elastic return means mounted at the axis of rotation, and the holding in the closed position of these leaves is achieved through complementary closure means respectively mounted on the free edges of the leaves.
  • the movement of these wings is generally independent and requires the use of two hands to bring the leaves in the closed position.
  • the locking and locking system of the drum is located in the center of the door, which makes it visible and unattractive.
  • washing machines are known, as described in particular in the document FR 2,778,677 in which a door comprising a single leaf is mounted on the rotary drum.
  • Such a door is not adapted to reliably seal an opening in the shell of a drum.
  • the present invention aims to solve the aforementioned drawbacks and to provide a rotating drum door space saving and allowing ergonomic access to the interior of the drum.
  • the present invention relates to a rotary drum door adapted to close an opening in the drum shell comprising a first leaf mounted by a first side rotating about an axis integral with an edge of the opening and a second leaf mounted by a first side rotated on a second side of the first leaf, the second side of the first leaf being opposite to the first side of the first leaf.
  • the second flap comprises guiding means adapted to cooperate with complementary guiding means integral with the drum shell and adapted to guide the second flap in displacement between a closed position and an open position of said door, the complementary guiding means consisting of two guide rails respectively disposed on either side of the opening, these guide rails extending between said edge of the opening and a second opposite edge of this opening.
  • the two leaves of the door are positioned on the same side of the opening when the door is in the open position.
  • Access to the interior of the drum is thus greatly facilitated by allowing the inclination of the drum on the side of the opening not carrying the leaves.
  • the guiding means of the second leaf, driven in displacement by the first leaf, make it possible to obtain a reliable and predictable displacement of this second leaf with respect to the opening and to the drum.
  • the second door leaf can thus be guided from one edge to the other of the opening between its closed position and its open position.
  • a second side of the second flap, opposite the first side of the second flap is substantially adjacent to the axis integral with said edge of the opening.
  • the second side of the second leaf is substantially adjacent to the first side of the first leaf mounted on the drum shell, when the door is open.
  • the door is thus folded, beating against flap, in the open position, thus releasing the opening portion in the drum shell as much as possible.
  • the second flap comprises closure means mounted on a second side of the second flap, opposite the first side of the second flap, and adapted to cooperate with integral complementary closure means of the second flap. a second edge of the opening opposite to said first edge of the opening.
  • the closing means of the door are thus arranged at the second edge of the opening, and may be masked at least in part by the drum shell.
  • a machine for washing and / or drying laundry comprising a rotary drum provided with an opening in the drum shell, this machine comprising a rotary drum door according to the first aspect of the invention. the invention.
  • Such a washing machine and / or tumble dryer has features and advantages similar to those described above.
  • the drum 10 as illustrated in FIG. figure 1 is a drum for receiving laundry either in a dryer, or in a washing machine or a washer-dryer, the drum shell being in these cases perforated.
  • This drum 10 is intended to be rotatably mounted inside a tank of the machine.
  • the shell 11 of the drum 10 has an opening closed by a door 20 forming the subject of the present invention.
  • This door 20 comprises two leaves 21, 22.
  • a first leaf 21 is mounted at a first side 21a of this flap in rotation about an axis 23 integral with an edge 24 of the opening.
  • the second leaf 22 of the door 20 is also rotatably mounted at one of its sides 22a on a second side 21b of the first leaf.
  • This second side 21b of the first leaf 21 corresponds to the opposite side of the first side 21a of this leaf 21.
  • Any type of hinge can make it possible to mount this rotation of the wings 21 and 22 respectively along their side 21b, 22a.
  • an axis 26 extends parallel to the sides 21b, 22a of the first and second wings 21, 22.
  • Each leaf 21, 22 comprises a series of bearings 21 ', 22' intended to be mounted around the door.
  • axis 26 so that the bearings 21 'of the first leaf 21 are intersected with the bearings 22' of the second leaf 22.
  • the figure 3 illustrates such a drum mounted inside a tank 12 of a washing machine or drying laundry, loading from above.
  • the drum 10 is thus mounted in rotation between the front 12a of the tank 12 and its rear wall 12b.
  • the door consisting of the wings 21, 22 is, in the open position about the axis of rotation 23, located towards the rear of the machine so that the user is not bothered by this door to access the interior of the drum 11.
  • the opening 13 of the drum 10 thus has two opposite edges 24, 29 extending in the width of the machine.
  • the first leaf 21 is rotatably mounted about the axis 23 integral with the first edge 24 remote from the front 12a of the machine when the opening 13 extends substantially under the upper plane of the machine.
  • this second flap 22 comprises guiding means adapted to cooperate with complementary guiding means integral with the barrel of the drum.
  • the complementary guide means integral with the drum shell consist of two guide rails 27 (only one of these rails is visible on the figure 2 ), these guide rails being disposed respectively on either side of the opening.
  • These guide rails 27 thus extend transversely to the sides 21a, 21b, 22a of the first and second wings 21, 22.
  • the second side 22b opposite to the first side 22a of the second leaf 22, has guide pins 28 for sliding in the guide rails 27.
  • these pins 28 are respectively disposed at the two longitudinal ends of the edge 22b of the second leaf.
  • FIG 4 a schematic view of one side of the opening extending along a circular contour of the shell 11 of the drum.
  • the other side of the opening is made symmetrically.
  • Each guide rail 27 extends between the edge 24 of the opening to the opposite edge 29 of the opening.
  • this guide rail 27 extends along a path whose curvature is such that the contact force F exerted on the guide pin 28 by the guide rail 27 is outside the friction cone C at any point of this rail guide 27.
  • each guiding pin 28 in the rails 27 depends both on the coefficient of friction of each pin 28 in the rail 27 and on the direction of the contact force exerted on each peg 28 during the movement of the second leaf 22.
  • the coefficient of friction of the pin 28 in the rail 27 depends mainly on the materials in contact. This coefficient of friction is characterized by an angle of friction a (see figure 6 ) Having for base the direction perpendicular N to the contact point of the pin 28 in the rail 27. This friction angle thus draws a friction cone C around this perpendicular direction N.
  • the friction cone C having as its axis the perpendicular direction N to the guide rails 27, its position is directly related to the orientation of the guide rails 27.
  • the path of the guide rail 27 is such that it has no point of curvature at any point, the center of which coincides with the hinge axis 26 of the second leaf 22 on the first leaf 21 so that the movement is reversible. that is to say that we can at any time reverse the movement whatever it is. Indeed, the movement always leaving the first leaf 21, it is necessary that at a position of this leaf 21 corresponds only one possible position of the second leaf 22.
  • This particular structure ensures the movement of the second leaf 22 around the hinge axis 26 as soon as the first leaf 21 pivots about its axis of rotation 23.
  • the trajectory of the guide rail 27 is such that it extends, when the door is closed, above the flaps 21, 22 especially in its portion opposite to the axis of rotation 23 (see in particular figure 8 ).
  • this trajectory of the guide rail 27 extends above the wings 21 and 22 more markedly in its portion opposite to the axis of rotation 23 (on the left of the Figures 4 to 8 ). This allows the portion of the guide rail 27 adjacent to the axis of rotation 23 (on the right of the Figures 4 to 8 and whose shape is determined as described above to ensure the smooth sliding of guide pins 28 in the guide rail 27), is also above the wings 21 and 22 when the door is closed.
  • the second leaf 22 has a dimension, between these two sides 22a, 22b, smaller than the dimension of the first leaf 21 between its two sides 21a, 21b.
  • a handle 30 integral with the first leaf 21 extends beyond the second side 21b of this first leaf 21.
  • this handle 30 protrudes beyond the axis 26 of relative rotation of the two leaves 21, 22.
  • this handle 30 extends beyond the first leaf 21, substantially parallel to the second leaf 22.
  • a closure system 40 is provided to maintain in the closed position the wings 21, 22 on the barrel of the drum.
  • This closure system 40 is illustrated in detail on the Figures 9 to 11 .
  • the second wing 22 comprises closure means 41 mounted on the second side 22b of the second wing 22.
  • closure means 41 are adapted to cooperate with complementary closure means 42 integral with the second edge 29 of the opening.
  • the second side 22b of the second flap 22 comprises a rod 43 which extends parallel to this second side 22b.
  • this rod 43 constitute the ends of this rod 43 constitute the pion-shaped guiding means 28 adapted to slide in the guide rails 27.
  • This rod 43 is fixed to the second side 22b of the second flap 22 by a series of fastening tabs 44 which thus define in pairs a series of openings 45 arranged between the fastening tabs 44.
  • Each opening 45 is thus defined between two fixing lugs 44, the rod 43 and the free edge 22'b of the second leaf 22 at the second side 22b.
  • the second edge 29 of the opening comprises at least one hook, and here a series of hooks 46 adapted to engage with the rod 43 at the openings 45.
  • the fastening tabs 44 are made from a folded wing forming a cylindrical opening of diameter adapted to the diameter of the rod 43.
  • the hooks 46 secured to the second edge 29 of the opening also have a curved shape having a semi-cylindrical inner surface corresponding to an outer surface portion of the rod 43.
  • This closure system 40 is further supplemented with a lever 47 rotatably mounted under the second edge 29 of the opening.
  • This lever 47 is thus mounted in rotation about an axis 48 between a remote position and a close position of the hooks 46.
  • Elastic return means are adapted to move the lever from a remote position to the position close to the hooks 46.
  • These elastic return means may be constituted in a conventional manner by a spring mounted in torsion on the axis of rotation 48 of the lever 47.
  • This lever 47 is adapted to cooperate with a portion of the rod 43 when closing the wings 21, 22.
  • this lever 47 comprises at least one inclined plane 49 which extends transversely to one end of a guide rail 27.
  • This inclined plane 49 thus forms a support plane for the rod 43 when it arrives in end of travel of the guide rails 27.
  • the first leaf 21 When the door is in the open position as shown in figure 4 , the first leaf 21 is kept open above the axis 23 secured to the edge 24 of the opening.
  • the first leaf 21 extends substantially in a plane perpendicular to the tangent to the shell of the drum at the axis 23, to allow maximum access to the opening inside the drum.
  • the second leaf 22 is, at the end of the opening stroke, arranged in such a way that its second side 22b, on which are mounted the pions of guide 28, is substantially adjacent to the axis 23 secured to the edge 24 of the opening.
  • the two wings 21, 22 are folded substantially against each other in the open position of the door and access to the interior of the drum is facilitated.
  • the displacement of the first leaf 21 causes the simultaneous displacement of the second leaf 22 as well illustrated on the figures 5 and 6 until the guiding pins 28 arrive substantially at the end of travel of the guide rails 27.
  • the opening of the drum door can also be performed with one hand by the user, pressing the second flap 22 at the closure system 40.
  • an additional spring could be added at the axis 26, to facilitate the articulation of the two leaves 21, 22 relative to each other.
  • the spring 25 mounted on the axis 23 of the first leaf 21 could possibly be deleted.
  • closure system 40 described here for a double-leaf door 21, 22, could also be adapted to a drum door comprising a single leaf, mounted for example slidably on the drum shell.
