Description

La présente invention concerne une machine à laver la vaisselle et une cuve de lavage en deux parties.The present invention relates to a dish washing machine and a washing tub in two parts.

Elle concerne de manière générale les machines à laver la vaisselle domestiques comprenant une cuve de lavage dont la paroi supérieure est en plastique et les autres parois sont en acier inoxydable.It relates generally to domestic dishwashing machines comprising a washing tub whose upper wall is plastic and the other walls are stainless steel.

Traditionnellement, une cuve de lavage, permettant le lavage de la vaisselle chargée dans les paniers, est réalisée en acier inoxydable, et généralement ladite cuve de lavage comprend deux ou trois parties assemblées entre elles par des moyens de fixation, tel que par exemple un procédé de soudage ou de sertissage.Traditionally, a washing tub, allowing the washing of the dishes loaded in the baskets, is made of stainless steel, and generally said washing tub comprises two or three parts assembled together by fixing means, such as for example a method welding or crimping.

Deux configurations d'assemblage de la cuve d'une machine à laver la vaisselle se présentent.Two assembly configurations of the bowl of a dishwasher are present.

Dans une première configuration, la cuve comprend une virole constituée des parois latérales et d'une paroi de fond, assemblée à une paroi inférieure et une paroi supérieure.In a first configuration, the vessel comprises a shell consisting of the side walls and a bottom wall, assembled to a bottom wall and an upper wall.

Dans une seconde configuration, la cuve comprend une virole constituée des parois latérales, d'une paroi supérieure et d'une inférieure, assemblée à une paroi de fond.In a second configuration, the vessel comprises a shell consisting of the side walls, an upper wall and a lower, assembled to a bottom wall.

Cette cuve de lavage est ensuite fixée à une structure d'assemblage de la machine à laver la vaisselle et supportent les organes de fonctionnement tel qu'une pompe, des moyens d'arrosage, une gamelle, ...This washing tub is then attached to an assembly structure of the dishwashing machine and supports the operating members such as a pump, watering means, a bowl, etc.

En plus du coût matière de l'acier inoxydable, le procédé de fabrication de la cuve de lavage en acier inoxydable est long et coûteux.In addition to the material cost of stainless steel, the manufacturing process of the stainless steel wash tank is long and expensive.

La réalisation d'une cuve de lavage avec une paroi supérieure en plastique permet d'intégrer de nombreuses fonctions dans une unique pièce et par conséquent de diminuer le nombre de pièces ayant attrait aux organes de fonctionnement, de pièces de fixation et de moyens nécessaires à la réalisation d'un tel lave-vaisselle.The realization of a washing tank with a plastic top wall makes it possible to integrate many functions in a single room and consequently to reduce the number of parts having appeal to the operating members, fasteners and means necessary for the realization of such a dishwasher.

L'objet de la présente invention est de fournir une machine à laver la vaisselle qui peut, d'une part, prendre les avantages d'une machine à laver la vaisselle classique, et d'autre part, produite par une méthode rapide et limitant le nombre de pièces.The object of the present invention is to provide a dishwashing machine which can, on the one hand, take the advantages of a conventional dishwashing machine, and on the other hand, produced by a rapid and limiting method the number of rooms.

La présente invention a pour but de résoudre les inconvénients précités et de proposer une machine à laver la vaisselle et une cuve de lavage associée, facilitant l'assemblage des deux partie de la cuve et intégrant des fonctions techniques de la machine à laver la vaisselle.The present invention aims to solve the aforementioned drawbacks and to provide a dishwashing machine and an associated washing tub, facilitating the assembly of the two parts of the tank and incorporating technical functions of the dishwashing machine.

A cet effet, la présente invention vise, selon un premier aspect, une machine à laver la vaisselle comprenant une cuve de lavage ayant une paroi de fond, des parois latérales et une paroi inférieure formant une cavité pour le lavage de la vaisselle, dont la face frontale de la cavité est fermée par une porte.For this purpose, the present invention aims, in a first aspect, a dishwashing machine comprising a washing tub having a bottom wall, side walls and a bottom wall forming a cavity for washing dishes, whose front face of the cavity is closed by a door.

Conformément à l'invention, la cuve de lavage comprend une paroi supérieure en plastique connectée auxdites paroi de fond et parois latérales, et lesdites paroi de fond et parois latérales sont en métal.According to the invention, the washing tub comprises a plastic top wall connected to said bottom wall and side walls, and said bottom wall and side walls are made of metal.

Selon une caractéristique préférée de l'invention, la paroi de fond, les parois latérales et la paroi inférieure formant la cavité sont en acier inoxydable.According to a preferred feature of the invention, the bottom wall, the side walls and the bottom wall forming the cavity are made of stainless steel.

L'utilisation de l'acier inoxydable sur les parois visibles rend le produit esthétique.The use of stainless steel on the visible walls makes the product aesthetic.

La paroi supérieure en plastique est peu visible par l'utilisateur. C'est pour cela que cette pièce peut être dans un matériau différent de l'acier inoxydable.The plastic top wall is not visible to the user. That is why this piece can be in a material different from stainless steel.

En outre, l'utilisation d'une matière plastique pour la paroi supérieure de la cuve de lavage permet d'intégrer plusieurs composants. Dans ce mode de réalisation particulièrement avantageux, où des parties des circuits de circulation d'eau et d'air de séchage sont déjà réalisées dans la partie supérieure de la cuve de lavage, une seule étape de fabrication est nécessaire et par conséquent c'est un gain de temps important comparé à une méthode d'assemblage d'un lave-vaisselle classique.In addition, the use of a plastic material for the upper wall of the washing tub makes it possible to integrate several components. In this particularly advantageous embodiment, where parts of the water circulation and drying air circuits are already made in the upper part of the washing tub, only one manufacturing step is necessary and therefore it is a significant time saving compared to a method of assembling a conventional dishwasher.

De plus, l'intégration de fonctions à la paroi supérieure permet de supprimer des moyens de fixation et d'étanchéité, tels que par exemple des colliers, des vis, des joints,In addition, the integration of functions in the upper wall makes it possible to eliminate fastening and sealing means, such as, for example, collars, screws, seals,

Selon une autre caractéristique préférée de l'invention, la partie du circuit d'air de séchage de la paroi supérieure comprend au moins une partie inférieure de conduit d'extraction d'air de séchage.According to another preferred feature of the invention, the portion of the drying air circuit of the upper wall comprises at least a lower portion of drying air extraction duct.

On peut ainsi extraire les vapeurs d'eau de la cuve de lavage pendant la phase de séchage soit par une convection naturelle soit par une convection forcée.It is thus possible to extract the water vapor from the wash tank during the drying phase either by natural convection or by forced convection.

Selon une autre caractéristique préférée de l'invention, la paroi supérieure de la cuve de lavage comprend une face frontale en retrait par rapport à la face frontale de la cuve de lavage.According to another preferred feature of the invention, the upper wall of the washing tub comprises a front face recessed with respect to the front face of the washing tub.

Cet écartement entre la face frontale de la paroi supérieure et la face frontale de la cuve de lavage permet de réaliser une porte avec un élargissement correspondant à la hauteur de la paroi supérieure. De cette manière, la partie supérieure de la porte est plus profonde et peut comprendre notamment des zones de commande élargies.This spacing between the front face of the upper wall and the front face of the washing tub makes it possible to produce a door with a widening corresponding to the height of the upper wall. In this way, the upper part of the door is deeper and can include including expanded control areas.

Selon une autre caractéristique préférée de l'invention, la matière plastique de la paroi supérieure de la cuve de lavage comprend des fonctionnalités acoustique et énergétique.According to another preferred feature of the invention, the plastic material of the upper wall of the washing tub comprises acoustic and energy functionalities.

La cuve de lavage peut ainsi permettre des économies d'énergie et de réduire le niveau de bruit du lave-vaisselle. La densité et la chaleur spécifique du matériau de la paroi supérieure sont les deux paramètres principaux permettant de définir la matière. La matière plastique choisie dans un tel lave-vaisselle peut comprendre ces deux caractéristiques tandis qu'une matière plastique traditionnelle ne permet pas d'obtenir des résultats équivalents.The wash tank can thus save energy and reduce the noise level of the dishwasher. The density and specific heat of the material of the upper wall are the two main parameters for defining the material. The plastic material chosen in such a dishwasher can include both of these characteristics whereas a traditional plastic material does not make it possible to obtain equivalent results.

Selon une autre caractéristique préférée de l'invention, la paroi supérieure de la cuve comprend un logement de distribution d'eau d'un moyen de condensation de l'air de séchage.According to another preferred feature of the invention, the upper wall of the vessel comprises a water distribution housing of a means for condensing the drying air.

L'ajout d'un logement de distribution d'eau permet de réaliser l'alimentation en eau d'un moyen de condensation. Notamment, des écoulements d'eau peuvent s'effectuer le long d'une paroi de la virole de la cuve de lavage pour permettre le refroidissement de la cuve de lavage.The addition of a water distribution housing makes it possible to supply water to a condensing means. In particular, water flows can be carried along a wall of the ferrule of the washing tub to allow cooling of the washing tub.

La présente invention concerne également, selon un second aspect, un procédé d'assemblage de la paroi supérieure sur la cavité de la cuve de lavage formée par les parois inférieure, latérales et de fond pour une machine à laver la vaisselle telle que décrite précédemment.The present invention also relates, in a second aspect, a method of assembling the upper wall on the cavity of the wash tank formed by the bottom, side and bottom walls for a dishwashing machine as described above.
