Definitions

  • This invention relates to an electrical household appliance, in particular an electrical household appliance comprising means of coupling a control interface.
  • Electrical household appliances are known in the prior art in which the control interface is integrated in a decorative covering panel which covers large surfaces of the electrical household appliance.
  • Electrical household appliances are also known in the prior art in which the control interface is connected by threaded connections to the remaining parts of the electrical household appliance.
  • the technical purpose which forms the basis of this invention is to propose an electrical household appliance that overcomes the above mentioned drawbacks of the prior art.
  • the aim of this invention is to provide an electrical household appliance which makes the assembly of the electrical household appliance very fast and easy.
  • Another aim of the invention is to provide an electrical household appliance which facilitates the replacement of a user interface of the electrical household appliance.
  • the electrical household appliance 1 comprises:
  • the positioning recess 30 comprises a cavity 31 made on the machine body 3 of the electrical household appliance 1.
  • the faceplate 2 typically comprises a front decorative covering 22 comprising, for example, a pushbutton panel 23 and a knob 24.
  • a front decorative covering 22 comprising, for example, a pushbutton panel 23 and a knob 24.
  • an electronic card 25 comprising, for example, LEDs and various potentiometers.
  • a rear cover 26 To the rear of the electronic card 25 there might be a rear cover 26. The cover 26 minimises the risk of accidental entry of water into the user interface 20.
  • the machine body 3 comprises a structure comprising the actuators by which the electrical household appliance physically performs the processing operations (washing, drying, etc.) on the external items to be processed (dishes, laundry, etc.).
  • the machine body 3 comprises a casing containing a washing compartment, a rotating drum and means of introducing washing water into the washing compartment.
  • the manufacturers of electrical household appliances might use this invention to make a common main body which could then be diversified by adding predetermined components such as, for example, but not exclusively, the faceplate.
  • Faceplates may therefore be used having specific silk-screen printing or luminous controls according to the various nations (associated with the language of the marketing country). Moreover, depending on the faceplate used the machine may have more or less sophisticated functions.
  • the solution facilitates in particular the management of warehouse stock.
  • the fastening means 4 comprise at least a first connector 41 to allow the faceplate 2 to be connected without the aid of tools outside the electrical household appliance 1.
  • the first connector 41 is a snap-on type. This allows the constraining action following a snap which, overcoming a slight interference, allows the insertion of a protuberance in a corresponding profile.
  • the fastening means 4 comprise a second connector 42, the first and the second connector 41, 42 extending on two opposite sides of the perimeter of the faceplate 2 and being designed to interact with the machine body 3 of the electrical household appliance 1.
  • the second connector 42 is configured so as to also perform the function of fulcrum of rotation of the faceplate 2 with respect to the machine body 3. More specifically, the rotation occurs at least approximately about a vertical axis.
  • the second connector 42 comprises:
  • the elastically deformable member 412 is fixed to the faceplate 2 and the housing 40 is formed in a portion of the electrical household appliance outside the faceplate 3 (typically in the machine body 3).
  • the user who might also be the assembler
  • the elastically deformable member 412 comprises an elastically deformable tab 410 and the anchoring means 413 comprise a protrusion 411 which extends transversally to the tab 410.
  • the faceplate 2 extends in thickness along a first direction 21, the tab 410 extending in cantilever fashion along the first direction 21.
  • the protrusion 411 has:
  • the machine body 3 comprises a retaining portion 416 in contact with the abutment surface 415.
  • the retaining portion 416 is interposed between the abutment surface 415 and a zone in front of the faceplate 2 and outside the electrical household appliance 1.
  • the first snap-on connector 41 comprises:
  • This invention also relates to a system comprising:
  • the release means 5 comprise a tool 50 which is both outside of, and removable from, both the faceplate 2 and the machine body 3 of the electrical household appliance 1 and designed to interact with the first connector 41.
  • the tool 50 is by way of an example a key 51 insertable into a cavity 500 formed in the electrical household appliance 1.
  • the key 51 comprises a tooth 52 and inside the cavity 500 it can turn between a first configuration and a second configuration, the passage from the first to the second configuration being at least partly accompanied by a pushing action of the tooth 52 on the first connector 41 to disengage it from the machine body 3 of the electrical household appliance 1.
  • the cavity 500 allows the insertion and the extraction of the key 51 only by performing a translation of the cavity when the latter is in the first configuration.
  • the cavity 500 has an end of stroke position which stops the insertion of the key 51 in the cavity 500.
  • the cavity 500 allows the rotation of the key 51 from the first to the second configuration only when the key 51 is in contact with the end of stroke position 501. More specifically, when the key 51 passes from the first to the second configuration the tooth 52 applies a pushing action on the elastically deformable member 412 (in particular - see Figure 9 - on the protrusion 411).
  • the cavity 500 is conveniently formed on the machine body 3 of the electrical household appliance 1 alongside the positioning recess 30.
  • the cavity 500 is also adjacent to the housing 40 and in communication with the latter by a first opening 502 which is positioned away from an opening 503 for inserting the key 51.
  • the separation structure 504 bends the elastically deformable member 412 during the insertion of the faceplate 2 in the positioning recess 30.
  • the release means 5 are integrated in the electrical household appliance 1 and comprise a cam 73 which can rotate between a first and a second configuration about an axis of rotation 76.
  • the cam 73 blocks a portion of the faceplate 2 preventing the removal from the positioning recess 30 (see Figure 12 ) whilst in the second configuration the cam allows the extraction of the faceplate 2 from the positioning recess 30 (embodiment not illustrated).
  • the cam 73 is connected to a rotating pin 74 accessible from the outside of the electrical household appliance 1.
  • the pin 74 comprises a slot 75 for facilitating rotation of the pin (for example, a coin or a thin item may be introduced into the slot 75).
  • the cam 73 comprises a surface 731 sloping relative to the axis of rotation 76 of the cam 73, facing toward the outside of the electrical household appliance 1 and extending inside the positioning recess 30.
  • the cam 73 comprises a surface 732 for locking a portion of the faceplate 2, the locking surface 732 being substantially at right angles to the axis of rotation of the cam 73 and in the first configuration extending inside the positioning recess 30 for constraining the faceplate 2.
  • the sloping surface 731 and the locking surface 732 are formed on the protrusion 71.
  • the faceplate 2 comprises a single electrical connector 6 designed to interact electrically with the machine body 3 of the electrical household appliance 1 through a respective electrical connector 60 made in the positioning recess 30.
  • the single electrical connector 6 made on the faceplate 2 is a male connector
  • the corresponding connector 60 made in the positioning recess 30 is a female connector. This facilitates the electrical connection when the faceplate 2 is inserted in the positioning recess 30.
  • the single connector 6 of the faceplate 2 might be female and in that case the corresponding connector 60 made in the positioning recess 30 would be a male connector.
  • the user interface 20 comprises:
  • the knob 24 conceals the connecting port (embodiment not illustrated).
  • the knob 24 is removable from the remaining parts of the user interface 20 for allowing access to the connecting port.
  • a pulling force greater than a predetermined value must be applied (for removing the knob 24 from a shaft on which it is connected) or special tools must be used.
  • the aim of the above-mentioned precautions is to prevent the user from accidentally removing the knob 24 to prevent careless touching of what is behind the knob 24 causing electrocution.
  • the electrical household appliance 1 also comprises a decorative covering 8 applicable to a support 80 underlying the electrical household appliance 1.
  • the decorative covering 8 is removably connectable to the underlying support 80, but could also be irremovably connectable to the support 80.
  • there are elastically deformable connecting means 81 which have a guide for facilitating the connection and an anchoring device hindering the removal.
  • the elastically deformable connecting means 81 are made on the decorative covering 8 whilst suitable counter-profiles 82, designed to accommodate the elastically deformable connecting means 81, are formed in the support 80.
  • the decorative covering 8 may be applied, for example, on a detergent tray 83 (the tray 83 being in that case the support 80).
  • This embodiment is particularly advantageous as the front of the detergent tray typically shows information regarding the programs to select according to the type of products to be washed.
  • the decorative covering 8 may be applied with the silk-screen printing written in the language used in the country in which the electrical household appliance 1 will be marketed (the majority of the remaining parts may, however, be in common for all the electrical household appliances 1 and assembled in the main assembly line).
  • the decorative coating 8 may be removably connectable to the tray 83. In that case, the force necessary for separating the decorative covering 8 from the tray 83 is greater than a force necessary for extracting the tray 83 from its housing.
  • connection of the faceplate 2 to the machine body 3 comprises the following steps:
  • the first snap-on connector 41 is connected.
  • the elastically deformable member 412 coming into contact with the machine body 3 bends elastically and reassumes the undeformed position when reaching in the housing 40.
  • connection of the first snap-on connector 41 presupposes the insertion of the protrusion 71 in the inlet 72 (thereby creating an interference between the cam 73 and the faceplate 2).
  • the disconnection of the faceplate 2 from the machine body 3 in the first embodiment comprises the following steps:
  • the disconnection of the faceplate 2 from the machine body 3 in the second embodiment comprises the following steps:
  • the invention has many advantages linked to the speed and the practicality of assembly and, if necessary, disassembly of a user interface.
  • the embodiment allows a range of products to be diversified in an extremely simple fashion providing several electrical household appliances in which only certain manufacturing components differ and the main machine body is kept unchanged. It shall be understood that the invention described above may be modified and adapted in several ways without departing from the scope of the inventive concept. Moreover, all the details of the invention may be substituted by other technically equivalent elements. In practice, all the materials used, as well as the dimensions, may vary according to requirements.
