Definitions
- the present invention relates to a water supply device for domestic washing appliances, such as dishwashers and laundry washing machines.
- a device of this kind typically comprises a flat and hollow plastic body which is connected to other components of the electric household appliance and shaped so as to be able to perform various functions, such as venting of the vapours which form inside the wash-tub, providing an air-break for the supply water, collection of water intended to form the brine for regeneration of the ion exchange resins of the limescale remover, and so on.
- this body has hitherto been designed as two or more parts which are injection-moulded separately and then welded together so as to define internally a cavity.
- the corresponding welds may, however, be defective so that strict quality control is necessary, making the production process complex and costly.
- GB-2 151 466A discloses a water supply device having the features listed in the preamble of claim 1 below.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to overcome the abovementioned drawbacks of the prior art.
- the device according to the invention does not have any welds, so that the associated production process may dispense with a corresponding quality control step, while still being able to achieve a high-quality product.
- the monolithic body of the supply device includes an air-break device for the supply water, which in turn comprises a first half-duct tapering at one end and a second half-duct tapering at one end, the aforementioned tapering ends facing each other.
- first and second half-ducts are described as having "tapering ends facing each other" means that the aforementioned ends are substantially aligned, namely are arranged on a same straight line.
- This allows in particular the provision of the two half-ducts with the respective ends formed as one piece with the monolithic body, since at the end of the moulding procedure the mould cores may be extracted from the half-ducts. On the other hand, such extraction would not have been possible in practical terms if the two half-ducts were arranged with their respective ends along a curved line.
- the device may be completed where necessary by means of inserts assembled inside the body. Rubber parts, in particular gaskets, may also be co-moulded on the body.
- the present invention relates furthermore to a domestic washing appliance comprising a supply device of the type indicated above.
- a water supply device for a domestic washing appliance comprises ( Figures 1-6 ) a plastic monolithic body 10 obtained by means of injection-moulding and without welds.
- the body has two parallel main faces 12 facing each other and connected by a perimetral transverse wall 14 so as to define an internal cavity 16.
- the body 10 has a substantially flat shape and has, in plan view, a cross-section shaped as an irregular quadrilateral having a top rectilinear side which is substantially orthogonal to substantially rectilinear right and left sides which have different lengths, and a bottom side formed by several differently inclined sections.
- a circular hole 18 passes through one of the two main faces 12, while a vapour escape chamber 20 is formed within the internal cavity 16 and communicates both with the outside and with the through-hole 18.
- Alternately arranged ribs 21 which define winding paths suitable for stopping any water spray protrude into the chamber 20 from the inner walls of the main faces 12.
- the main faces 12 are also passed through by a further through-hole 23 which is intended to communicate with the outside and defines the maximum level which may be reached by the water inside the wash-tub of the domestic appliance.
- the body 10 also incorporates an air-break device formed by a first half-duct 22 located in the internal cavity 16 and tapering at one end 24 and by a second half-duct 26 located in the internal cavity 16 and tapering at one end 28, the tapering ends 24, 28 of the two half-ducts 22, 26 facing each other and being separated by a gap and having - as shown in the figures - a tubular structure, namely a closed cross-section.
- the two half-ducts 22, 26 with the respective tubular ends are substantially aligned, namely are arranged on a same straight line.
- a seat 30 for a supply-water flow meter 32 is also formed in the body 10, upstream of the air-break device.
- a portion of the transverse wall which forms the top side of the body is formed as a flap 34 hinged along one side on a main face 12.
- a water supply pipe 36 which partially closes off communication with the outside of the vapour escape chamber 20 and/or promotes vapour condensation, is located within the chamber 20.
- the pipe 36 is fixed to the body 10 by teeth 37 and supplies water to the air-break device which has the function of preventing any undesirable backflow into the water network.
- Figure 7 shows in schematic form a mould for the production of the body 10, comprising a pair of parts 38 movable in opposite senses along the same direction for formation of the two half-ducts 22, 26, an auxiliary part 40 movable orthogonally with respect to the latter direction for forming the gap between the facing ends 24, 28 of the two half-ducts 22, 26, and a main movable part 42.
- Figure 8 shows a further embodiment of the device according to the invention in which numbers identical to those used in the preceding Figures 1-6 identify identical or equivalent parts.
- the flap 34 is formed by two independent sections 44, 46: the first section 44 acts selectively as an external closure for the vapour escape chamber 20, while the second section 46 acts selectively as a closure for a further chamber 48 formed within the body 10.
- Figure 9 shows a further embodiment of the device according to the invention in which numbers identical to those used in the preceding Figures 1-6 identify identical or equivalent parts.
- the body 10 has a small tank 50 for collecting water for forming a regenerating brine, which small tank 50 is formed within the internal cavity 16.
- Figures 10 and 11 show a further embodiment of the device according to the invention in which numbers identical to those used in the preceding figures identify identical or equivalent parts.
- the air-break device is not formed integrally with the body 10, but is formed by an insert 52 assembled inside the body after moulding thereof, so as to form a length of a water supply duct.
