Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif enrouleur de cordon pour un appareil électroménager, et se rapporte plus particulièrement à un dispositif enrouleur de cordon adapté pour stocker un cordon renfermant un conduit pour le transport d'un fluide, tel qu'un cordon d'amené de vapeur, et/ou un câble d'alimentation électrique.The present invention relates to a cord retractor device for a household appliance, and more particularly relates to a cord retractor device adapted to store a cord enclosing a conduit for the transport of a fluid, such as a cord brought with steam, and / or a power supply cable.

Habituellement, les dispositifs enrouleurs de cordon automatique comportent un tambour rotatif sur lequel le cordon est enroulé et un raccord tournant à l'extrémité fixe du cordon de manière à ce que le cordon ne soit pas torsadé par les différents tours de tambour. Cependant, les raccords tournants présentent l'inconvénient d'être relativement complexe, notamment lorsque le cordon contient un conduit pour le transport d'un fluide, ce qui pose des problèmes de coût et de fiabilité.Usually, the automatic cord rewinders comprise a rotating drum on which the cord is wound and a rotating connector at the fixed end of the cord so that the cord is not twisted by the different drum turns. However, the rotating connectors have the disadvantage of being relatively complex, especially when the cord contains a conduit for the transport of a fluid, which poses problems of cost and reliability.

Il est connu, du document EP 1 038 821 , de remédier à cet inconvénient en proposant un enrouleur de cordon sans raccord tournant. Cet enrouleur comporte, parallèlement au tambour recevant la longueur de cordon extractible; une chambre de compensation dans laquelle parvient l'extrémité du cordon qui reste solidaire de l'enrouleur, le cordon se prolongeant dans cette chambre de compensation par une longueur supplémentaire de cordon s'étendant sous la forme d'une spirale. Dans un tel dispositif enrouleur, les différents tours d'enroulement ou de déroulement du tambour accompagnant l'extraction ou le rangement du cordon provoquent respectivement un resserrement ou un desserrement de la spirale formée par le cordon à l'intérieur de la chambre de compensation, sans créer de contrainte notable sur le cordon.It is known from the document EP 1 038 821 to overcome this disadvantage by proposing a cord winder without rotating connection. This retractor comprises, parallel to the drum receiving the length of extractable cord; a compensation chamber in which reaches the end of the cord which remains integral with the winder, the cord extending into the compensation chamber by an additional length of cord extending in the form of a spiral. In such a winding device, the various winding or unwinding towers of the drum accompanying the extraction or the storage of the cord respectively cause a tightening or loosening of the spiral formed by the cord inside the compensation chamber, without creating significant stress on the cord.

Un tel dispositif enrouleur présente cependant l'inconvénient de présenter un encombrement axial important. De plus, pour fonctionner, un tel enrouleur doit comporter une longueur du cordon dans la chambre de compensation proche de celle du cordon pouvant être réellement extraite de l'enrouleur. Il s'ensuit un coût relativement important pour une longueur de cordon qui est masquée et n'est donc pas disponible pour l'utilisateur.Such a winding device however has the disadvantage of having a large axial size. In addition, in order to function, such a retractor must have a length of the cord in the compensation chamber close to that of the cord that can actually be extracted from the retractor. It follows a relatively high cost for a cord length that is hidden and is not available to the user.

Aussi, un but de la présente invention est de remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant un dispositif enrouleur de cordon comprenant une chambre de compensation, dans laquelle seule une longueur réduite de cordon en spirale reste prisonnière de la chambre de compensation. Le but de la présente invention est également de proposer un dispositif enrouleur présentant un encombrement axial réduit pour faciliter son intégration dans la base de l'appareil.Also, an object of the present invention is to overcome these disadvantages by providing a cord winder device comprising a compensation chamber, wherein only a reduced length of spiral cord remains trapped in the compensation chamber. The object of the present invention is also to provide a retractor device having a reduced axial size to facilitate its integration into the base of the device.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif enrouleur de cordon pour appareil électroménager comportant un tambour rotatif comprenant une surface d'enroulement sur laquelle peut s'enrouler une première partie de cordon correspondant à la longueur de cordon pouvant être extraite du dispositif enrouleur, l'extrémité de la première partie de cordon s'engageant par un orifice à l'intérieur d'une chambre de compensation disposée radialement à l'intérieur de la surface d'enroulement et dans laquelle la première partie de cordon se prolonge par une deuxième partie de cordon s'étendant suivant la forme d'une spirale, le cordon s'enroulant dans le même sens sur le tambour et dans la chambre de compensation, le cordon étant localement fixé sur le tambour à proximité de l'orifice et présentant une extrémité sortant de la chambre de compensation pour son raccordement à un élément fixe de l'appareil, caractérisé en ce que la chambre de compensation comporte au moins un premier étage s'étendant axialement sur sensiblement toute la largeur de la surface d'enroulement et un deuxième étage décalé axialement par rapport au premier étage et en ce que le dispositif comporte un module de rappel, assurant le rappel automatique du tambour dans le sens de l'enroulement de la première partie de cordon, disposé dans un logement à la périphérie du tambour.To this end, the subject of the invention is a cord retractor device for a household appliance comprising a rotary drum comprising a winding surface on which can wind a first cord portion corresponding to the cord length that can be extracted from the device. winder, the end of the first bead portion engaging through an orifice within a compensation chamber radially disposed within the winding surface and wherein the first bead portion is extended by a second cord portion extending in the form of a spiral, the cord winding in the same direction on the drum and in the compensation chamber, the cord being locally fixed on the drum near the orifice and having an end coming out of the compensation chamber for its connection to a fixed element of the apparatus, characterized in that the compensation chamber comprises at least one oins a first stage extending axially over substantially the entire width of the winding surface and a second stage axially offset from the first stage and in that the device comprises a return module, ensuring the automatic return of the drum in the direction of the winding of the first cord portion, disposed in a housing at the periphery of the drum.

Une telle caractéristique permet d'obtenir un dispositif enrouleur sans raccord tournant, fonctionnant avec une longueur de cordon dans la chambre de compensation nettement inférieure à la longueur de cordon pouvant être extraite du dispositif d'enroulement. Une telle caractéristique permet également de réduire l'encombrement axial du dispositif enrouleur.Such a characteristic makes it possible to obtain a winding device without a rotating connection, operating with a length of cord in the compensation chamber that is clearly smaller than the length of cord that can be extracted from the winding device. Such a feature also reduces the axial size of the winder device.

Selon une autre caractéristique du dispositif enrouleur de cordon selon l'invention, le deuxième étage est délimitée radialement par une paroi portée par un capot et le module de rappel est disposé dans un logement dudit capot en bordure du deuxième étage.According to another characteristic of the cord winder device according to the invention, the second stage is defined radially by a wall carried by a hood and the return module is disposed in a housing of said hood on the edge of the second floor.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le module de rappel comporte un pignon qui engrène sur une roue dentée solidaire en rotation du tambour.According to yet another characteristic of the invention, the return module comprises a pinion which meshes with a toothed wheel integral with rotation of the drum.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le module de rappel renferme des moyens ressorts et comporte un système à cliquet qui empêche la rotation du module de rappel dans le sens de l'enroulement du cordon sur le tambour, le système à cliquet étant débrayable au moyen d'un bouton.According to another characteristic of the invention, the return module contains spring means and comprises a ratchet system which prevents the rotation of the return module in the direction of the winding of the cord on the drum, the ratchet system being disengageable by means of a button.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les étages présentent une paroi commune comprenant une ouverture centrale pour le passage d'un étage à l'autre, l'ouverture centrale étant portée par une pièce libre en rotation sur la paroi commune.According to another characteristic of the invention, the stages have a common wall comprising a central opening for the passage from one stage to another, the central opening being carried by a free piece rotating on the common wall.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la longueur de la deuxième partie de cordon est équitablement répartie entre les différents étages.According to yet another characteristic of the invention, the length of the second bead portion is equitably distributed between the different stages.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la première et la deuxième partie de cordon renferment un conduit de vapeur et un câble d'alimentation électrique.According to another characteristic of the invention, the first and second cord portions contain a steam duct and a power supply cable.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le dispositif enrouleur est destiné à équiper un fer à repasser à générateur de vapeur séparé.According to another characteristic of the invention, the retractor device is intended to equip a steam iron with separate steam generator.

Conformément aux figures 2 à 4, le dispositif enrouleur de cordon comporte un capot inférieur 2 et un capot supérieur 3, assemblés l'un sur l'autre, qui renferment un tambour 4 monté rotatif autour d'un axe 21 porté par le capot inférieur 2.According to FIGS. 2 to 4, the cord winder device comprises a lower cover 2 and an upper cover 3, assembled one on the other, which enclose a drum 4 rotatably mounted about an axis 21 carried by the lower cover 2.

Le tambour 4, comporte un disque supérieur 41, représenté seul sur la figure 3b, présentant une surface inférieure comprenant un ensemble de parois en saillie définissant une surface d'enroulement 42 sensiblement cylindrique contre laquelle vient avantageusement s'encliqueter un disque inférieur 43, ce dernier étant représenté uniquement sur les figures 3a et 10 pour plus de clarté. Le disque supérieur 41 comporte une pièce centrale 44, présentant un contour circulaire, qui est montée libre en rotation par rapport au corps du disque supérieur 41. Cette pièce centrale 44 comporte une partie tubulaire 44A qui s'engage sur l'axe 21 du capot inférieur 3 et comprend une ouverture 44B bordée d'une paroi de guidage en colimaçon.The drum 4 comprises an upper disc 41, shown alone in FIG. 3b, having a lower surface comprising a set of projecting walls defining a substantially cylindrical winding surface 42 against which a lower disc 43 advantageously engages, the last being shown only in Figures 3a and 10 for clarity. The upper disc 41 comprises a central piece 44, having a circular contour, which is mounted free to rotate relative to the body of the upper disc 41. This central piece 44 has a tubular portion 44A which engages on the axis 21 of the hood lower 3 and comprises an opening 44B lined with a spiral guide wall.

La surface d'enroulement 42 reçoit une première partie de cordon 1A correspondant à la longueur de cordon pouvant être extraite du dispositif enrouleur, cette première partie de cordon 1A pouvant être enroulée sur plusieurs tours autour de ladite surface d'enroulement 42, ainsi que l'on peut le voir sur les figure 4 et 5. A titre d'exemple, la longueur de cette première partie de cordon 1A est avantageusement de l'ordre de 140 cm de manière à offrir une liberté de mouvement suffisante à l'utilisateur lorsqu'il utilise l'accessoire connecté à l'extrémité A du cordon.The winding surface 42 receives a first bead portion 1A corresponding to the length of cord that can be pulled out of the winder device, this first bead portion 1A being wound up several turns around said winding surface 42, as well as the It can be seen in FIGS. 4 and 5. For example, the length of this first cord portion 1A is advantageously of the order of 140 cm so as to offer sufficient freedom of movement to the user when it uses the accessory connected to the end A of the cord.

Plus particulièrement selon l'invention, la surface d'enroulement 42 comprend une ouverture 42A au travers de laquelle passe le cordon 1, l'extrémité de la première partie de cordon 1A étant fixé au tambour par une bride 7A et étant reliée, au moyen d'un connecteur 5, à une deuxième partie de cordon 1B qui s'enroule en spirale à l'intérieur d'une chambre de compensation 6 délimitée radialement par les parois de la surface d'enroulement 42.More particularly according to the invention, the winding surface 42 comprises an opening 42A through which the cord 1 passes, the end of the first cord portion 1A being fixed to the drum by a flange 7A and being connected, by means of from a connector 5, to a second cord portion 1B which winds in a spiral inside a compensation chamber 6 delimited radially by the walls of the winding surface 42.

Cette chambre de compensation 6 comprend un premier étage 61, délimité latéralement par les disques supérieur 41 et inférieur 43 du tambour 4, dans lequel la deuxième partie de cordon 1B s'enroule en spirale depuis le connecteur 5, qui est fixé sur le tambour 4 à proximité de la surface d'enroulement 42, jusqu'au centre du tambour 4 où la deuxième partie de cordon 1B s'insère dans l'ouverture 44B de la pièce centrale 44 pour ressortir sur l'autre face du disque supérieur 41.This compensation chamber 6 comprises a first stage 61, delimited laterally by the upper disks 41 and lower 43 of the drum 4, in which the second cord portion 1B spirally winds from the connector 5, which is fixed on the drum 4 near the winding surface 42, to the center of the drum 4 where the second bead portion 1B fits into the opening 44B of the central piece 44 to emerge on the other side of the upper disk 41.

Sur la face supérieure du disque supérieur 41, le cordon 1 débouche dans un deuxième étage 62 de la chambre de compensation 6 délimité radialement par une paroi 31 sensiblement cylindrique, visible sur les figures 4 et 8, portée par le capot supérieur 3 et dont le diamètre correspond sensiblement au diamètre intérieur de la surface d'enroulement 42.On the upper face of the upper disk 41, the cord 1 opens into a second stage 62 of the compensation chamber 6 delimited radially by a substantially cylindrical wall 31, visible in FIGS. 4 and 8, carried by the top cover 3 and whose diameter corresponds substantially to the inside diameter of the winding surface 42.

Conformément aux figures 2 et 6, le cordon 1 s'enroule en spirale dans ce deuxième étage 62 en partant depuis la pièce centrale 44 jusqu'à la périphérie de la chambre de compensation 6, le cordon 1 passant par une ouverture latérale 31A de la paroi 31 sensiblement cylindrique pour sortir au travers d'une fente 3A en regard prévue sur le capot supérieur 3, le cordon 1 étant immobilisé par une bride 7B sur le capot supérieur en amont de l'extrémité B .According to FIGS. 2 and 6, cord 1 spirally winds in this second stage 62, starting from central piece 44 to the periphery of compensation chamber 6, cord 1 passing through a lateral opening 31A of the substantially cylindrical wall 31 to exit through a slot 3A facing provided on the upper cover 3, the cord 1 being immobilized by a flange 7B on the upper cover upstream of the end B.

La deuxième partie de cordon 1B est ainsi maintenue d'une manière fixe au tambour 4 au niveau du connecteur 5 et est immobilisée en sortie du dispositif enrouleur, la longueur de la deuxième partie de cordon 1B étant adaptée pour que les spirales dans les deux étages 61, 62 de la chambre de compensation 6 soient lâches lorsque la première partie de cordon 1A est enroulée sur la surface d'enroulement 42 ainsi que cela est représenté sur les figures 5 et 6. A titre d'exemple, la longueur totale de la deuxième partie de cordon 1B contenue dans la chambre de compensation 6 est de l'ordre de 70 cm, cette longueur étant équitablement répartie entre les premier et deuxième étages 61, 62.The second cord portion 1B is thus held fixedly to the drum 4 at the connector 5 and is immobilized at the exit of the winder device, the length of the second cord portion 1B being adapted so that the spirals in the two stages 61, 62 of the compensation chamber 6 are loose when the first cord portion 1A is wound on the winding surface 42 as shown in Figures 5 and 6. For example, the total length of the second portion of cord 1B contained in the compensation chamber 6 is of the order of 70 cm, this length being equitably distributed between the first and second stages 61, 62.

Comme on peut le voir sur les figures 2, 3a et 6, la face supérieure du disque supérieur 41 comporte une roue dentée 45 qui coopère avec les dents d'un pignon 81 porté par un module de rappel 8, le rayon du pignon 81 étant avantageusement inférieur au rayon de la roue dentée 45, par exemple égale à la moitié de ce dernier, de sorte que la rotation du tambour 4 s'accompagne d'un plus grand nombre de tours du module de rappel 8.As can be seen in FIGS. 2, 3a and 6, the upper face of the upper disk 41 comprises a toothed wheel 45 which cooperates with the teeth of a pinion 81 carried by a return module 8, the radius of the pinion 81 being advantageously less than the radius of the toothed wheel 45, for example equal to half of the latter, so that the rotation of the drum 4 is accompanied by a greater number of revolutions of the return module 8.

Le module de rappel 8 est disposé dans un logement du capot supérieur 3 prévu à cet effet à la périphérie du tambour 4 et présente un corps cylindrique qui est monté en rotation autour d'un axe 22 porté par le capot inférieur 2. Le module de rappel 8 renferme des moyens ressort, non représentés sur les figures, qui sont bandés lorsque le cordon 1 est déroulé du tambour 4. A titre d'exemple, les moyens ressorts pourront être constitués par un ressort en spirale dont une extrémité est solidaire de l'axe de rotation 22 et l'autre extrémité est solidaire du corps du module de rappel 8.The return module 8 is disposed in a housing of the upper cover 3 provided for this purpose at the periphery of the drum 4 and has a cylindrical body which is rotatably mounted about an axis 22 carried by the lower cover 2. The module recall 8 contains spring means, not shown in the figures, which are bandaged when the cord 1 is unwound from the drum 4. For example, the spring means may be constituted by a spiral spring whose one end is integral with the rotation axis 22 and the other end is secured to the body of the return module 8.

Conformément aux figures 6 et 7, le module de rappel 8 comporte également un système à cliquet 9 qui empêche la rotation du module 8 dans le sens du rembobinage du tambour 4. Ce système à cliquet comporte classiquement un taquet 91 pivotant appliqué au moyen d'un ressort 92 contre une piste dentée 82 formée sur la périphérie du corps du module de rappel 8, le taquet 91 pouvant être écarté de la piste dentée par l'appui sur un bouton poussoir 93.According to FIGS. 6 and 7, the return module 8 also comprises a ratchet system 9 which prevents rotation of the module 8 in the direction of rewinding of the drum 4. This ratchet system conventionally comprises a pivoting cleat 91 applied by means of a spring 92 against a toothed track 82 formed on the periphery of the body of the return module 8, the cleat 91 can be removed from the toothed track by pressing on a push button 93.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif d'enroulement va maintenant être décrit.The operation of the winding device will now be described.

Les figures 5 et 6 illustrent le positionnement du cordon 1 lorsque ce dernier est stocké dans le dispositif d'enroulement. Conformément à ces figures, dans cette position, la première partie de cordon 1A, qui correspond à la longueur de cordon pouvant être extraite du dispositif enrouleur par l'utilisateur, est enroulée autour de la surface d'enroulement 42 du tambour et la spirale formée par la deuxième partie de cordon 1B contenue dans les deux étages 61, 62, est lâche.Figures 5 and 6 illustrate the positioning of the cord 1 when the latter is stored in the winding device. According to these figures, in this position, the first cord portion 1A, which corresponds to the length of cord that can be extracted from the winder device by the user, is wound around the winding surface 42 of the drum and the spiral formed by the second cord portion 1B contained in the two stages 61, 62, is loose.

Lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite extraire le cordon 1 de l'enrouleur, il tire sur l'extrémité A du cordon ce qui provoque la rotation du tambour 4 suivant le sens de la flèche illustrée sur les figures 9 et 10, de sorte que la première partie de cordon 1 A enroulée sur la surface d'enroulement 42 sort du dispositif enrouleur. La première partie de cordon 1 A peut ainsi être extraite du dispositif enrouleur sur sensiblement toute sa longueur, la bride 7A disposée à l'extrémité de la première partie de cordon 1A empêchant que le connecteur 5 ne soit sollicité à l'arrachement lorsque l'utilisateur tire sur le cordon 1. Dans l'exemple illustré, l'extraction de la première partie de cordon 1A sur toute sa longueur provoque la rotation du tambour 4 sur sensiblement trois tours, cette rotation du tambour 4 s'accompagnant d'une rotation du module de rappel 8 sur près de six tours, ce qui provoque une mise sous tension des moyens ressort qu'il renferme, la rotation en sens inverse du module de rappel 8 étant empêchée par la présence du taquet 91 sur la piste dentée 82.When the user wishes to extract the cord 1 from the retractor, he pulls on the end A of the cord which causes the rotation of the drum 4 in the direction of the arrow illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10, so that the first 1A cord portion wound on the winding surface 42 out of the winder device. The first cord portion 1A can thus be extracted from the winding device over substantially its entire length, the flange 7A disposed at the end of the first cord portion 1A preventing the connector 5 from being forced to tear when the The user draws on the cord 1. In the example illustrated, the extraction of the first cord portion 1A along its entire length causes the drum 4 to rotate about three turns, this rotation of the drum 4 being accompanied by a rotation of the return module 8 over nearly six revolutions, which causes the spring means that it contains to be energized, the rotation in the opposite direction of the return module 8 being prevented by the presence of the cleat 91 on the toothed track 82.

Conformément aux figures 9 et 10, la rotation du tambour 4 sur près de trois tours provoque le resserrement de la deuxième partie de cordon 1 B en spirale sur moins d'un tour et demi pour chacun des étages 61, 62 de la chambre de compensation 6, l'enroulement étant équitablement répartie sur chacun des étages grâce à la libre rotation de la pièce centrale 44.According to FIGS. 9 and 10, the rotation of the drum 4 over nearly three turns causes the tightening of the second cord portion 1B in a spiral on less than one and a half turns for each of the stages 61, 62 of the compensation chamber 6, the winding being equitably distributed on each of the stages thanks to the free rotation of the central piece 44.

Lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite rembobiner le cordon 1, il lui suffit d'appuyer sur le bouton 93 qui permet le désengagement du taquet 91 de la piste dentée 82 et donc la rotation du module de rappel 8 sous les efforts des moyens ressort, ce qui entraîne en rotation le tambour 4 dans le sens du rembobinage du cordon.When the user wishes to rewind the cord 1, it suffices to press the button 93 which allows the disengagement of the cleat 91 of the toothed track 82 and therefore the rotation of the return module 8 under the efforts of the spring means, which rotates the drum 4 in the direction of rewinding the cord.

Un tel dispositif comprenant une chambre de compensation disposée radialement à l'intérieur du tambour d'enroulement présente l'avantage de ne nécessiter qu'une longueur réduite de cordon dans la chambre de compensation, ce qui permet de réduire notablement le coût de cette longueur de cordon qui n'est pas extractible de l'enrouleur et qui n'est donc pas valorisable auprès de l'utilisateur.Such a device comprising a compensation chamber arranged radially inside the winding drum has the advantage of only requiring a reduced length of cord in the compensation chamber, which significantly reduces the cost of this length. cord that is not extractable from the reel and is therefore not recoverable from the user.

Le dispositif enrouleur ainsi réalisé présente également l'avantage de posséder un encombrement axial réduit, c'est-à-dire une faible épaisseur, notamment à hauteur du diamètre d'enroulement du tambour.The winding device thus produced also has the advantage of having a reduced axial size, that is to say a small thickness, especially up to the winding diameter of the drum.

Enfin, l'utilisation d'une chambre de compensation à plusieurs étages permet de réduire l'espace radial nécessaire pour l'enroulement en spirale de la deuxième partie de cordon et donc de réduire l'encombrement radial de la chambre de compensation.Finally, the use of a multi-stage compensation chamber makes it possible to reduce the radial space required for the spiral winding of the second bead portion and thus to reduce the radial size of the compensation chamber.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est nullement limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et illustré qui n'a été donné qu'à titre d'exemple. Des modifications restent possibles, notamment du point de vue de la constitution des divers éléments ou par substitution d'équivalents techniques, sans sortir pour autant du domaine de protection de l'invention.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described and illustrated which has been given by way of example. Modifications are possible, particularly from the point of view of the constitution of the various elements or by substitution of technical equivalents, without departing from the scope of protection of the invention.

Ainsi, dans une variante de réalisation simplifiée de l'invention, le dispositif enrouleur pourra ne comporter qu'un seul étage, l'encombrement axial de la chambre de compensation étant alors avantageusement contenu dans l'encombrement axial de la surface d'enroulement du tambour.Thus, in a simplified embodiment of the invention, the winding device may have only one stage, the axial size of the compensation chamber then being advantageously contained in the axial size of the winding surface of the winding. drum.

A l'inverse, dans une autre variante de réalisation, le dispositif enrouleur pourra comporter plus de deux étages de manière à réduire encore l'encombrement radial de la chambre de compensation.Conversely, in another variant embodiment, the retractor device may comprise more than two stages so as to further reduce clutter. radial of the compensation chamber.
