Definitions

  • the present invention relates to built-in domestic appliances having the door lined with a decorative panel, and in particular to domestic appliances in which the panel slides with respect to the door.
  • a dishwasher while it is clear that what is said applies to any other domestic appliance having a similar door hinged along its bottom side, e.g. a washing machine.
  • This type of decorative panel is known to be used to camouflage a built-in appliance so that it blends with the kitchen furniture. This is achieved by applying to the door of said appliance, by various means, a panel having the same appearance of the other doors. In this way there is no visible element allowing to distinguish the appliance from the other members which make up the kitchen, its controls being accessible only when the door is open.
  • panel mounting systems including a sliding coupling between the panel and the door are disclosed, for instance, in EP 744152 and EP 1529482 .
  • this panel poses a particular problem when it is installed with an underlying plinth in common with the rest of the furniture, i.e. when the bottom edge of the dishwasher panel is located adjacent (typically at about 3 mm) to the top edge of the plinth. In fact in this case the panel would interfere with the latter when the dishwasher door is opened and the panel retracts in the space behind the plinth.
  • EP 1875850 discloses another solution devised by the applicant in which the panel is mounted through a sliding coupling between the panel and the door with sliding direction orthogonal to the rotation axis of the door, and the panel is also pivoted to the machine frame through a telescopic rod connected by a kinematic chain to the door hinge so as to achieve an automatic sliding of the panel.
  • EP 1894509 discloses a further solution of the applicant similar to the preceding one in which instead of the telescopic rod there is an articulated lever system always connected by a kinematic chain to the door hinge so as to achieve an automatic sliding of the panel.
  • the panel rotates around a fulcrum fixed on the frame, the sliding being obtained by changing the length of the connection between the panel and the fulcrum.
  • EP 2407723 discloses on the other hand a solution characterized by the presence of a slide longitudinally sliding along a guide formed in a rotating bracket integral with the door, the decorative panel being secured to said slide whose movement is determined by the rotation of the rotating bracket through a driving mechanism that can be of different kinds.
  • EP 2407723 discloses a built-in domestic appliance having the features of the preamble of independent claim 1. All prior art solutions have a quite complicated structure which is therefore rather expensive and unreliable, and they do not guarantee a smooth operation especially in the case of fast movement of the door.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a domestic appliance provided with a mounting system for the decorative panel that overcomes the above-mentioned drawbacks.
  • This object is achieved by means of a domestic appliance having the features of claim 1 and in which the panel is pivoted on a lever rotating in a vertical plane under the action of a rotating bracket secured to the door so as to rotate around a mobile fulcrum and to obtain an automatic upwards and downwards sliding of the panel.
  • the main advantage of the domestic appliance with the panel mounting system according to the present invention stems from the structural simplicity of said mounting system, which results in greater strength, reliability and smoothness at a lower cost. Furthermore, this system is compact in size and easy to mount on the domestic appliance.
  • a moving mechanism for the decorative panel of a dishwasher essentially consists of three elements only, namely a support bracket 1, secured to the machine frame, on which there are pivoted for rotation in a vertical plane a rotating bracket 2, secured to the machine door, and a lever 3 secured to the decorative panel.
  • the left mechanism will be illustrated in the following, while being clear that a specularly symmetrical mechanism is provided on the right side of the dishwasher.
  • the rotating bracket 2 is substantially L-shaped and is pivoted on the outside of the support bracket 1 through a horizontal pin 4 located in the proximity of the angle between the two sides of the L, as well as in the proximity of the bottom front corner of the support bracket 1.
  • the rotating bracket 2 is further secured to the door through a plate 2a formed on the vertical side of the L and extending in a vertical plane to the inside of the support bracket 1.
  • Said plate 2a is provided with holes 2b for fixing screws, while the horizontal side of the L is intended to act as an end stop in combination with a catch 1a formed on the front side of the support bracket 1.
  • top/bottom, front/rear, horizontal/vertical, etc. are given with reference to the mechanism mounted on the dishwasher and with the door in the closed position.
  • Lever 3 is internally pivoted on the support bracket 1 through a horizontal pin 5 located in the proximity of its rear end, as well as in the proximity of the bottom rear corner of the support bracket 1.
  • the rotation of lever 3 around pin 5 is controlled by the rotating bracket 2 through a peg 6 that slidably engages a curved slot 7 formed in the top portion of lever 3 with an upward concavity.
  • Lever 3 is also provided with an oval opening 8 formed at pin 4 in order to prevent interference therewith during the door movement.
  • peg 6 is located above and behind pin 4, i.e. at a position which is higher and more to the rear, and engages slot 7 passing in a recess formed in the front side of the support bracket 1.
  • lever 3 carries a plate 9, provided with holes 9a, rotatably mounted through a screw 10 at the end of the front portion 3a of lever 3, said portion 3a being shaped so as to terminate at a position to the inside of the rotating bracket 2.
  • opening 8 could be absent if lever 3 were shaped to prevent interference with pin 4 or the latter were located at a position not causing interference.
  • the sliding connection between the rotating bracket 2 and lever 3 could be reversed by forming slot 7 on the bracket and arranging peg 6 on the lever, or it could even be made with elements mechanically equivalent to peg 6 and slot 7 such as a wheel rolling along a guiding groove.
  • a dishwasher according to the present invention includes a decorative panel 11 applied to door 12 so as to slide vertically, for example through hooks arranged on the back of panel 11 that engage corresponding slots formed in door 12, as described in the above-mentioned European publications to which reference is made for further details.
  • Door 12 is mounted on the dishwasher frame through screws introduced in holes 2b of the rotating bracket 2, which is pivoted through pin 4 to the support bracket 1 secured to the frame.
  • the vertical sliding of the decorative panel 11 is controlled by the mechanism through plate 9, which is secured to the back of panel 11 through screws introduced in holes 9a.
  • pin 4 is located at the top of opening 8 and peg 6 is about at 1 ⁇ 4 of slot 7 (measured from the rear).
  • lever 3 continues to rotate upwards around pin 5 and reaches the maximum height, with pin 4 located at the bottom of opening 8 and peg 6 at about 3 ⁇ 4 of slot 7.
  • pin 4 located at the bottom of opening 8 and peg 6 at about 3 ⁇ 4 of slot 7.
  • panel 11 continues its sliding movement with respect to door 12 driven by plate 9.
  • lever 3 starts to rotate downwards around pin 5 but since door 12 is already opened more than 45°, the advancing of peg 6 towards the front end of slot 7 results in a further sliding of panel 11 on door 12.
  • Fig. 11 The effectiveness of the above-described mechanism is schematically illustrated in Fig. 11 where the sequence of the positions taken by the bottom edge of panel 11 shows how it never moves below the closed door starting position, whereby there is no interference with the underlying plinth (not shown) adjacent thereto.
  • This figure further shows how the mechanism can be useful also for mounting a decorative panel 11' of greater height in the absence of the underlying plinth.
  • the sliding movement performed by the mechanism is used to prevent the interference of panel 11' with the dishwasher base 13 without having to modify the latter in order to receive the oversize panel.
