Definitions

  • the present invention relates to industrial dishwashers, and in particular to a hood-type dishwasher with an improved hood opening/closing mechanism.
  • a hood-type dishwasher is substantially divided into a stationary lower half and a mobile upper half (hood) that slides vertically along guides formed in the rear wall of the stationary part.
  • the conventional moving mechanism of the hood includes pins arranged on the two right and left sides thereof which engage corresponding slots formed in a pair of long levers pivoted to the sides of the above-mentioned rear wall.
  • strong balancing springs are pivoted between said rear wall and the rear end of the levers.
  • the balancing springs must be very strong and therefore heavy and expensive, since the lever arm of the hood is many times greater than the reaction lever arm of the springs with respect to the fulcrum of rotation of the lateral levers.
  • the lever arm of the hood is many times greater than the reaction lever arm of the springs with respect to the fulcrum of rotation of the lateral levers.
  • two springs pivoted on the lateral levers with a lever arm variable between 40 and 60 mm must exert a force variable between 270 and 170 kg. This gives rise to high stress of the involved mechanical parts, in addition to difficulties in mounting and maintenance.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a hood-type industrial dishwasher which overcomes the above-mentioned drawbacks.
  • This object is achieved by means of a hood-type industrial dishwasher provided with a hood moving mechanism including vertical rear telescopic guides driven by cables on which the balancing springs act through mobile pulleys mounted on rotatable plates driven by a piston.
  • a hood moving mechanism including vertical rear telescopic guides driven by cables on which the balancing springs act through mobile pulleys mounted on rotatable plates driven by a piston.
  • the main advantage of the dishwasher according to the present invention is that of dispensing with the bulky and potentially dangerous lateral levers and springs by achieving the hood moving through a mechanism fully arranged on the back of the machine. This results in a smaller width of the dishwasher, an increased safety and a great easiness of the external cleaning operations.
  • a further advantage of this dishwasher is the significant reduction in the maximum load of the springs, thanks to the use of the pulley and to the advantageous reaction lever arm. As a consequence, it is possible to use less strong, lighter and cheaper springs and therefore achieve less difficulties in mounting/maintenance and lower mechanical stress, thus increasing reliability.
  • Still another advantage of the above-mentioned dishwasher is that of being able to automatically open and close the hood through a single-piston device of limited length and force and therefore inexpensive. In this way, the machine can open the hood exactly at the end of the wash cycle, making even more evident to the operator that the dishwasher has finished its work and therefore facilitating the loading/unloading operations.
  • a hood-type industrial dishwasher conventionally includes a hood 1 mounted on vertical guides arranged along the rear wall of the stationary lower part of the dishwasher. Hood 1 slides vertically along said guides with a run Y sufficient to allow a smooth loading/unloading of the dishes.
  • the novel aspect of the industrial dishwasher according to the present invention is the use of telescopic guides 3 including a sliding part 2 to which hood 1 is secured. Said telescopic guides 3 are obviously sized to support the weight of hood 1 when the sliding parts 2 project at the top for a length Y equal to the opening run of hood 1.
  • hood 1 The movement of hood 1 is driven through a mechanism fully arranged on the back of the dishwasher, in order to achieve the above-mentioned object of dispensing with the lateral levers and balancing springs. Since, as shown in Fig.3 , said moving mechanism includes two identical devices preferably arranged mirror-like with respect to the vertical midplane of the dishwasher, the following description refers to one of the devices only.
  • An inextensible cable 4 is secured between a bottom attachment 4', arranged at the bottom end of the sliding part 2 of the telescopic guide 3, and a top attachment 4" fixed on the dishwasher structure.
  • the cable In its path between the two end attachments 4', 4" the cable first passes over an idler wheel 5 fixed on the dishwasher structure, then under a pulley 6 arranged on a plate 7 that is in turn mounted in a rotatable way on the dishwasher structure (at a position lower than wheel 5) through a fulcrum A.
  • a balancing spring 8 is pivoted between a bottom attachment 8', fixed on the dishwasher structure close to the bottom, and a top attachment 8" fixed on plate 7 at a position intermediate between fulcrum A and pulley 6.
  • the position of the top attachment 8" is designed so as to obtain an extension and an angle of spring 8 suitable to balance the weight of hood 1 with respect to fulcrum A depending on the angular position of pulley 6, i.e. of plate 7.
  • hood 1 The automatic drive of hood 1 is achieved by means of a second rotatable plate 9, pivoted on the same fulcrum A of the first plate 7, driven by a piston 10 whose stem is connected thereto through a rod 11 pivoted between the stem of piston 10 and a pin B located at the bottom end of the second plate 9.
  • a single vertical piston 10 arranged at a central position is sufficient to drive both moving devices that make up the mechanism.
  • this mechanism is made so as to allow the manual drive of hood 1 even in the presence of piston 10 for the automatic drive.
  • the connection between the first plate 7 and the second plate 9 is achieved through a pin P fixed on plate 7 which slidably engages a slot S formed in plate 9. More specifically, slot S is shaped like an arc of circle centered on fulcrum A and pin P is located on plate 7 so as to abut on the internal end of slot S when hood 1 is closed ( Fig.3 ).
  • an emergency release mechanism for piston 10 to be used in case piston 10 locks with the stem extended in the open hood position after the automatic opening of hood 1.
  • This release mechanism includes a mobile support device 12, better described further on, that acts as a base for piston 10 and can be driven by a cable 13 that slides on wheels 14 secured to the dishwasher structure and ends with a handle 15.
  • the whole opening mechanism could be mirrored in the vertical direction, by adding a further idler wheel, simply changing the fixing points of elements 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9 on the dishwasher structure.
  • the bottom attachment 4' of cable 4 may also be arranged higher than the bottom end of the sliding part 2, as long as it remains at a distance from the idler wheel 5 greater than run Y.
  • the second plate 9 could be completely dispensed with, i.e. it would be possible to combine the two plates into a single plate 7 shaped to have an extension 9 to which rod 11 is pivoted.
  • a control system that stops the drive of piston 10 in case the hood finds an obstacle during its descent.
  • a mechanism is illustrated in greater detail in Figs.8 and 9 , where there is seen that the mobile support device 12 acting as a base for piston 10 includes a spring 16 that keeps taut cable 13 on which a mobile plate 17 is secured that has a hole 17a sized so as to allow the passage of piston 10. Said mobile plate 17 slides within a similar double fixed plate 18 provided with a hole 18a having the same size of hole 17a.
  • spring 16 maintains the mobile plate 17 partially outside of the double fixed plate 18 so that the two holes 17a, 18a are not aligned and the mobile plate 17 can support piston 10.
  • the descent of piston 10 is obviously equal to at least the extension of its stem, and is limited by a stop collar 19.
  • plate 9 is illustrated arranged between plate 7 and the dishwasher back in order to facilitate the mounting of spring 8 on the outside of plate 7, it would also be possible to change the relative positions of these three elements as long as their rotation is unhampered.
  • the above-described and illustrated embodiment of the dishwasher according to the invention is just an example susceptible of various modifications.
  • the exact number, shape and arrangement of the elements could be changed according to specific manufacturing needs, e.g. by changing the path of cable 4 with further idler wheels, as long as the passage over pulley 6 carried by rotatable plate 7 is retained.
  • the mechanism could include more than two moving devices if hood 1 is mounted on a corresponding number of telescopic guides 3.
  • piston 10 could be of any type (electric, hydraulic, pneumatic) as well as springs 8, and these elements could be replaced by other technically equivalent elements such as other types of actuators or other types of resilient members.
  • the emergency release mechanism for piston 10 can be made with other technically equivalent solutions, such as a lever system that drives the mobile plate 17 instead of cable 14 pulled taut by spring 16, and so on.
