Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an emergency device for a household appliance.
  • the invention concerns an emergency device studied and realized in particular for dryers, but which can be used for any kind of household appliance, in which it is necessary to prevent the opening of a door in case of fire inside the household appliance.
  • the door-latches are devices which provide the function of closing the door, holding the door of the machine in the closed position, but not using any interlock function.
  • This kind of device comprises, in general, a locking hook with which the prong associated with the door can engage, a spring, adapted to hold the locking hook engaged with the prong, and an electric switch (micro) for checking the status of the door.
  • an object of the present invention to provide an emergency device for a household appliance, in particular a dryer, capable of locking the door following an increase of the preset temperature, without necessarily provide for an electronic support.
  • an emergency device for a household appliance of the type comprising a door provided with a prong having a slot
  • said device comprising autonomous control means, capable to pass from a first to a second position due to an increase of the surrounding temperature and/or of the internal temperature of said household appliance, and an emergency member movable between a rest position, in which it is held by said control means, when said control means are in said first position, and an operating position, in which said emergency member is engaged with said prong of said door, when said door is in a closed position and said control means are in said second position.
  • Said emergency member comprising a emergency hook, capable to insert in said slot, to engage with said prong, when said emergency member is in said operating position.
  • said emergency hook of said emergency member could have a toothed profile, said toothed profile having a shape so that the teeth are able to engage with said slot of said prong, to compensate the closure tolerances for different insertion depths of said prong, thus making constant the plays constant in the opening/closing direction of said door, regardless of the penetration level and/or position of said prong, once said emergency member assumes said operating position.
  • said device could comprise pushing means, such as a spring or the like, suitable to exert a force on said emergency member 40) to engage said emergency member with said prong when said emergency member passes from said rest position to said operating position.
  • pushing means such as a spring or the like
  • said control means could comprise a safety slider, movable from a first to a second position, and a bimetal element, in particular a bi-metal plate, fixed to said safety slider, said bimetallic element being capable of bending due to the increase of the surrounding temperature and/or of the internal temperature of said household appliance, so that said safety slider passes from said first to said second position, and said emergency member being arranged so as to be held in said rest position by said safety slider, when the latter is in said first position, and so as to be free to move from said rest position to said operating position, in which said safety slider is engaged with said prong of said door when said door is in closed position and when said safety slider is in said second position.
  • said device could comprise a container and said emergency member could be pivoted with said container.
  • said device could comprise a tongue capable to interact with said safety slider to hold said emergency member in said second position.
  • an emergency device 1 for a household appliance (not shown in the figures) can be seen, of the type comprising a locking hook and a door (also not shown in the figures), to which a prong (not shown in the figures) is associated, provided with a slot.
  • the prong is capable of engaging with said locking hook, when the door is closed.
  • the emergency device 1 is installed in correspondence with said locking hook, so that said prong passes through the emergency device 1 before engaging with the prong locking hook, when the door of the household appliance is closed.
  • Said emergency device 1 provides for a container 20 having a base 21, opened, and a cover 22, on which an opening 23 is obtained, in which, the prong of said door is insertable.
  • Said emergency device 1 provides control means 30, comprising a safety slider 31, movable from a first to a second position, and a bi-metal plate 32, having a first end 32', fixed to, or held in contact with, said container 20, and a second end 32", fixed to said safety slider 31.
  • Said bi-metal plate 32 is capable of changing its shape, in particular to bend, due to an increase of the surrounding temperature, thereby passing said safety slider 31 from said first to said second position.
  • Said emergency device 1 also comprises an emergency member 40, that can be seen in particular in figure 3 , having a body 41, pivoted about said container 20 by means of suitable pivots (not shown in the figure) inserted in corresponding holes 41', so as to partially rotate, from a rest position to an operating position, as it will be better described and illustrated in the following.
  • Said emergency member 40 also comprises an emergency hook 42, having a toothed profile 42', and a tongue 43.
  • Said emergency device 1 further comprises pushing means, in particular a spring 50, adapted to exert a force on the body 41 of said emergency hook 40, to allow the passage from said rest position to said operating position.
  • the elements of the emergency device 1 are in the configuration shown in figures 4 - 7 , in which emergency member 40 is in said rest position, so that emergency hook 42 does not interact with the prong when the household appliance door is closed.
  • Spring 50 exerts a force on said body 41, so as to force the latter to move from said rest position to said operating position.
  • safety slider 31 is in said first position, in which it interacts with said tongue 43, thus preventing, with its dimensions that said emergency hook 42 passes from said rest position to said operating position.
  • bi-metallic plate 32 would bend, by passing said safety slider 31 from said first position to said second position, sliding in the direction of the arrow V, releasing said emergency hook 42.
  • the action of said spring 50 allows, thus, said emergency member 40 to move from said rest position to said operating position. In this way, since the door is closed, emergency hook 42 of said emergency member 40 can be inserted in the slot of the prong, by engaging with it, holding the door closed.
  • the door can be opened again by means of an appropriate mechanism or member, which acts on the safety slider 31, or even only with the intervention of an operator, so that, once the bi-metal plate has cooled, it is possible to return emergency member 40 in rest position.
  • said toothed profile 42' of the emergency hook 42 operates as follows. Considering figure 12 , it is observed that emergency member 40 is in said operating position. Then emergency hook 42 is engaged with said slot 61 by first tooth of said toothed profile 42'.
  • the closing position of said door has a different position of the prong 60, such that the prong 60 is more inserted into said opening 23, or a force were exerted on the door as shown in arrow P, which would tend to introduce prong 60 further within said opening 23, the slot 61 would shift toward the direction of the arrow P of figure 13 , and the emergency hook 42 would rotate according to arrow R, so that said emergency hook 42 introduces further into said slot 61 by the force exerted by said spring 50 of said emergency member 40.
  • the slot 61 of the prong 60 engages with one of the teeth consecutive to that which was initially engaged, so that said door remains, as said, strongly blocked.
  • An advantage of the emergency device according to the present invention is that the patent is able to function without being connected with any external control unit, so it is totally autonomous and independent with respect to the household appliance on which it is installed.
