Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a door locking device, particularly for electric household appliances.
  • the invention relates to a door locking device of the type defined in the preamble of claim 1.
  • GB 2 364 350 A discloses a door lock device which includes an electrically controlled locking member
  • EP 2 369 050 A2 discloses a door lock device comprising a further locking element which in use is selectively disposed in a first or a second position by an electric actuator energized by a control unit following operation of a control pushbutton.
  • EP 2 154 287 A1 discloses a door lock device comprising a further blocking element for preventing the displacement of a retaining slider when the door is open.
  • DE 43 04 086 C1 discloses a child security device for preventing closing the door of an appliance by preventing the hook member of the door to be engaged by a retaining slider.
  • One object of the present invention is to provide an improved door locking device of this type able to allow the user to selectively enable or disable energization of the electric household appliance, preventing in particular energization of the electric household appliance by children.
  • this device 1 comprises a support body 2 which is made of moulded plastic and at one end of which an opening 3 is formed (see in particular Figures 2 and 3 ).
  • the opening 3 is designed to allow the introduction of a hook member such as that indicated by 4 in Figures 2 and 3 .
  • the door locking device 1 is able to be fixed close to an opening of an electric household appliance, for example a laundry washing machine, and the hook member 4 is intended to be connected, for example in a hinged manner, to a movable door associated with this opening of the electric household appliance.
  • the hook member 4 comprises a shank 4a, one end of which is hinged at 5 (see Figure 2 ) on the door of the electric household appliance and the other end of which, after a narrowing of the cross-section or neck 4b, forms an enlarged head indicated by 6.
  • the retaining slider 7 has a main opening 8 (see Figure 3 ) which in the various operating conditions or positions of the slider 7 is at least partly facing and aligned with the opening 3 of the support structure 2.
  • a spring for example of the helical type (not shown), is arranged in a manner known per se between the slider 7 and the support structure 2 and tends to keep this slider 7 in the rest position shown in Figure 5 where the slider 7 bears against an end wall of the support body 2 and its opening 8 is aligned with the opening 3 in said body 2.
  • the hook member 4 of the hatch door may be introduced into the opening 3 such that its end head 6 interacts with the slider 7, causing a translation thereof into a working position, shown in Figure 3 .
  • the hook member 4 of the door With the door closed, the hook member 4 of the door is arranged with its end head 6 engaged inside the opening 8 of the slider 7, as shown in Figure 3 . In this condition the neck portion 4b of the hook member 4 is retained between an edge of the opening 3 in the support structure and the slider 7.
  • the door locking device 1 also comprises an electromechanical control device denoted overall by 9 in Figures 1 to 3 .
  • This device is of a type known per se, for example that described and illustrated in detail in British patent GB 2,364,350 in the name of the same Applicant.
  • This electromechanical control device will therefore not be further described in all of its details, but solely in relation to those aspects which are relevant for the purposes of understanding the present invention.
  • the electromechanical control device 9 includes a movable locking member denoted by 27 in Figures 2 and 3 . This member is mounted axially translatably, in a vertical direction when viewing Figure 3 , through an opening 28 formed in the casing of the electromechanical device 9, facing the zone in which the retaining slider 7 is translatably mounted.
  • the movable locking member 27 is displaceable, following a command for energization of the electric household appliance with which the door locking device 1 is associated, from an inactive or releasing position, shown in continuous lines in Figure 3 , to a disabling position, shown in broken lines in this figure, where it is able to allow and prevent, respectively, the passage of the retaining slider from the working position ( Figure 3 ) to the rest position ( Figure 5 ).
  • the locking member 27 is associated with an electric switch, able to switch condition or state when this locking member 27 passes from the releasing position to the disabling position, and vice versa.
  • the electric switch associated with the locking member 27 allows in particular signalling, to a control unit of the electric household appliance, that the door is closed and locked and that operation of the electric household appliance may therefore be started.
  • the door locking device according to the invention corresponds substantially to the devices according to the prior art.
  • the door locking device 1 also comprises a further locking member denoted overall by 10 in Figures 4 to 7 .
  • the locking member 10 has an intermediate portion 10a mounted rotatably, in the manner of a shaft, inside a passage 11 ( Figures 4 and 6 ) of the support structure 2.
  • the locking member 10 also forms a first end portion 10b having a locking formation 10c in the manner of a radially projecting finger (see in particular Figures 4 to 6 ).
  • This end portion 10b and the associated locking formation 10c extend on the rear side of the support body 2, in the vicinity of the retaining slider 7 (see in particular Figure 5 ).
  • the locking member 10 also has a second end portion 10d ( Figures 4 , 6 and 7 ) opposite to the first end 10b and accessible from outside of the electric household appliance.
  • the portion 10d of the locking member 10 is essentially circular and is mounted rotatably inside a front opening 12 ( Figures 6 and 7 ) of the support body 2.
  • This end portion 10d is provided with an engagement formation engageable so as to dispose the locking member 10 selectively in a first or a second position which will be described more fully below.
  • this engagement formation consists of a diametral groove 13 engageable by the tip of a screwdriver or other similar tool.
  • the locking member 10 may be disposed manually by a user selectively in a first or in a second angular position in which it allows and prevents, respectively, the translation of the retaining slider 7 from the rest position to the working position.
  • portion 10c of the locking member 10 is shown in its aforementioned second position, where it prevents the translation of the retaining slider 7 towards the working position, i.e. towards the position shown in Figure 3 .
  • This disabling action is achieved by the interference of the formation 10c of the locking member 10 with a transversely projecting portion 7a of the retaining slider 7 ( Figures 5 and 6 ).
  • the user may set the locking member 10 in its other operating position, defined above as "first" position, where the locking formation 10c is oriented at 90° with respect to the position shown in Figures 5 and 6 and in particular oriented upwards with reference to Figure 5 .
  • the further locking member 10 may be configured and arranged such that it is able, in a first and a second position, respectively, to allow and prevent, respectively, the translation of the slider 7 from the working position to the rest position.
  • this locking member is arranged in said second position, it is able to prevent opening of the machine door when this door is closed or prevent closing of the door when it is open.
  • the further locking member 10 may be configured and arranged such that it is able, in a first position, to allow the displacement of the slider between said rest and working positions, in a second position, prevent the translation of the slider 7 from the rest position to the working position, and in a third position, prevent the passage of the slider from the working position to the rest position.
