Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a door-lock device for a household appliance door.
  • the invention concerns a door-lock device for washing machines and household appliances in general, designed and manufactured to minimize the dimensions occupied.
  • door-lock devices e.g. for washing machines, capable to prevent the opening of the door until the operation cycle of the household appliance is not ended.
  • door lock device for a household appliance door, said door being provided with a locking prong
  • said door lock device comprising a slider, provided with an internal compartment, and capable to assume a resting position and an operating position, a strut, placed in said compartment and slidable in it along said slider, a locking hook capable to interact with said locking prong, rotatably coupled with an end of said slider and cinematically connected with said strut, pushing means, placed within said compartment of said slider, arranged to exert a force on said strut so as to keep said strut in contact with said locking hook, so that when said prong interacts with said locking hook, said locking hook rotates and translates, engaging with said locking hook, and remaining engaged with said locking prong by the force exerted by said pushing means through said strut, so that said slider passes from said resting position to said operating position.
  • said kinematic connection between said strut and said locking hook could be realized by a suitable shaping of the contact surfaces of said strut and said locking hook respectively.
  • said door lock device could comprise an electronic unit comprising electrical terminals for the connection to a control unit of said household appliance, and a locking pin, capable to assume: an extracted position, in which said locking pin engages with said slider when it is in said operating position, so as to inhibit the return to said resting position, and wherein said electronic unit enables said household appliance to be activated; and a retracted position in which said locking pin is disengaged from said slider.
  • said slider could have an opening in which said locking pin is engageable with said opening.
  • said slider could include a wing whereon said opening is obtained.
  • said pushing means could comprise a spring, arranged in compression, so as to exert a force on said strut.
  • said door lock device could comprise adjustment means of the compression of said spring.
  • said slider could have a seat
  • said adjusting means could include a plate, arranged in said seat, said plate having a threaded hole, and a grain, engaged with said threaded hole of said plate, said spring being arranged between said grain and said strut.
  • Said door-lock device 1 comprises a containment enclosure 20, in which an electronic unit 30 and a blocking mechanical unit 40 of a prong 50, integral with a door of a household appliance, is housed.
  • Said containment enclosure 20 comprises a first 21 and a second 22 element.
  • Said first element 21 has a first opening 21', for the introduction of the prong 50, so that it may interact with the blocking mechanical unit 40, and a second opening 21", whose function will be better explained in the following.
  • Said electronic unit 30 has the electric terminals 31 for connecting with the control unit of the household appliance (not shown in the figures).
  • Said electronic unit 30 also includes a locking pin 32, capable of assuming a retracted position, in which said electronic unit 30 prevents said household appliance to activate, and an extracted position, in which said electronic unit 30 allows said household appliance to operate.
  • Said blocking mechanical unit 40 comprises a slider 41, internally hollow, in which an inner compartment 411 is identified.
  • Said slider 41 also has a wing 412 on which an opening 413 is obtained, wherein said locking pin 32 of said electronic unit 30 is insertable.
  • Said slider 41 is capable of assuming a resting position and an operating position, which will be better described below.
  • said blocking mechanical unit 40 comprises a locking hook 42 rotatably engaged to a first end of said slider 41 by a pin 42'.
  • Said locking hook 42 is arranged in correspondence to said first opening 21'.
  • Said locking hook 42 is engageable with said prong 50.
  • Said blocking mechanical unit 40 further comprises a strut 43, slidable within said compartment 411 of said slider 41.
  • Said locking hook 42 and said strut 43 are cinematically connected.
  • said kinematic connection is realized by a suitable shaping of the contact surfaces 431 and 421 respectively of said strut 43 and of said locking hook 42.
  • the blocking mechanical unit also comprises a plate 44, insertable into a corresponding seat 414 of said slider 41, placed substantially near the second end of said slider 41, opposite to said first end.
  • Said plate 44 has a threaded hole, in which a grain 45 is engageable by screwing.
  • a spring 46, or thrust means in general is interposed in compression.
  • the locking hook 42 is in the initial position shown, in which it is held by the action of the spring 46 on the strut 43. Also, in this initial position, the slider 41 is in said resting position, in which it is arranged in such a way that the opening 413 is not arranged overlapped to said locking pin 32, thus holding it in said retracted position, in which, as said above, the household appliance cannot be activated.
  • prong 50 moves in the direction of arrow A, fitting into said first opening 21' and intercepting said hook 42 (see figure 7 ), thus causing, as a consequence of the shaping of said contact surfaces 431 and 421 respectively of said strut 43 and of said locking hook 42, the rotation of the locking hook 42 with respect to said slider 41, according to the arrow B, and the translation always of said hook 42.
  • said locking hook 42 rotatably coupled with said slider 41, there is also a translation of said slider 41, which passes from said resting position to said operative position, as effect due to the translation of said locking hook 42.
  • the locking hook 42 arranges (see figure 8 ) in such way that the opening 413 is is overlapped to said locking pin 32, thus releasing and allowing the passage of the same from said retracted position to said extended position.
  • said locking pin 32 is in said extended position and inserted in said opening 413, said slider 41 cannot slide, therefore the prong cannot be disengaged from said hook 42 and therefore said door is closed, even forcing the opening, when the household appliance is in operation, as it is appropriate for safety reasons.
  • said locking hook 42 is kept in the desired position by the action of the strut 43/spring 46 on the locking hook 42, as said locking hook cannot rotate back to its initial position, unless in case of sufficient force on the door to open it, due to the shaping of the contact surfaces 431 and 421 respectively of said strut 43 and of said locking hook 42.
  • locking pin 32 is retracted by a suitable electronic control of the control unit of the household appliance to said electronic unit 30, thus releasing the slider 41. Opening the door, prong 50 is disengaged from said locking hook 42 by means of a sufficient force, suitable to overcome the force of the assembly strut 43/spring 46 on the locking hook 42.
  • the mechanism makes, this time in the opposite way, the same kinematic movement described above, by rotating and translating, thus translating also slider 41, which arranges again in such way that opening 413 does not overlap said locking pin 32, i.e. passes from said operating position to said resting position.
  • An advantage of the present invention is that the configuration of the components allows a reduced thickness of the door-lock device and a minimum dispersion of opening and closing forces. This is achieved in particular because the prong of the door causes a roto-translation movement of the locking hook and the elements that contribute to distribute the opening and closing forces (the spring and the strut) are integrated and contained witin the element that realizes the interlock (the slider).
  • a further advantage of the present invention is a reduced impact of mutual positioning tolerances among the components.
