Description
- 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. Reference will be made hereafter to 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. Examples of panel mounting systems including a sliding coupling between the panel and the door are disclosed, for instance, in
EP 744152 EP 1529482 . - However, the presence of 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.
- To overcome this problem without having to cut the plinth there are presently provided mounting systems that make the panel slide upwards during the door opening in order to avoid the interference with the plinth, typically by means of a variable fulcrum hinge as illustrated in
EP 1364609 in the name of the applicant. -
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. In both solutions 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 ofindependent 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. - Therefore 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. Other advantageous features are recited in the dependent claims. - 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.
- These and other advantages and features of the domestic appliance according to the present invention will be evident to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of an embodiment thereof, with reference to the attached drawings, wherein:
-
Fig.1 is an internal perspective view showing the moving mechanism for the decorative panel of a dishwasher according to the invention, at a position corresponding to the door in an almost closed position; -
Fig. 2 is an external perspective view of the mechanism ofFig. 1 ; -
Fig. 3 is a front view of the mechanism ofFig. 1 ; -
Fig. 4 is a top plan view of the mechanism ofFig. 1 ; -
Fig. 5 is a see-through side view of the mechanism ofFig.1 mounted on a dishwasher according to the invention, with the door in the closed position; -
Figs. 6-9 are views similar to the preceding one with the door opened at about 20°, 40°, 60° and 70° respectively; -
Fig. 10 is a view similar to the preceding one with the door fully open at about 88°; and -
Fig. 11 is a diagrammatic side view showing the sequence of positions taken by the decorative panel during the door movement. - With reference to
figures 1 to 4 , there is seen that a moving mechanism for the decorative panel of a dishwasher according to the invention essentially consists of three elements only, namely asupport bracket 1, secured to the machine frame, on which there are pivoted for rotation in a vertical plane arotating bracket 2, secured to the machine door, and alever 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. - More specifically, the rotating
bracket 2 is substantially L-shaped and is pivoted on the outside of thesupport bracket 1 through ahorizontal 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 thesupport bracket 1. The rotatingbracket 2 is further secured to the door through aplate 2a formed on the vertical side of the L and extending in a vertical plane to the inside of thesupport bracket 1. Saidplate 2a is provided withholes 2b for fixing screws, while the horizontal side of the L is intended to act as an end stop in combination with acatch 1a formed on the front side of thesupport bracket 1. - It should be noted that all definitions about 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 thesupport bracket 1 through ahorizontal pin 5 located in the proximity of its rear end, as well as in the proximity of the bottom rear corner of thesupport bracket 1. The rotation oflever 3 aroundpin 5 is controlled by the rotatingbracket 2 through apeg 6 that slidably engages acurved slot 7 formed in the top portion oflever 3 with an upward concavity.Lever 3 is also provided with anoval opening 8 formed atpin 4 in order to prevent interference therewith during the door movement. - As better shown in the other figures,
peg 6 is located above and behindpin 4, i.e. at a position which is higher and more to the rear, and engagesslot 7 passing in a recess formed in the front side of thesupport bracket 1. - Finally,
lever 3 carries aplate 9, provided withholes 9a, rotatably mounted through ascrew 10 at the end of thefront portion 3a oflever 3, saidportion 3a being shaped so as to terminate at a position to the inside of the rotatingbracket 2. - It should be noted that the above-illustrated arrangement of the elements is preferable yet not indispensable, since a person skilled in the art could easily make the necessary modifications to reverse the arrangement by pivoting the
rotating bracket 2 on the inside of thesupport bracket 1 and lever 3 on the outside. Moreover, opening 8 could be absent iflever 3 were shaped to prevent interference withpin 4 or the latter were located at a position not causing interference. Similarly, the sliding connection between the rotatingbracket 2 andlever 3 could be reversed by formingslot 7 on the bracket and arrangingpeg 6 on the lever, or it could even be made with elements mechanically equivalent topeg 6 andslot 7 such as a wheel rolling along a guiding groove. - With reference to
Fig. 5 , there is seen that a dishwasher according to the present invention includes adecorative panel 11 applied todoor 12 so as to slide vertically, for example through hooks arranged on the back ofpanel 11 that engage corresponding slots formed indoor 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 inholes 2b of the rotatingbracket 2, which is pivoted throughpin 4 to thesupport bracket 1 secured to the frame. The vertical sliding of thedecorative panel 11 is controlled by the mechanism throughplate 9, which is secured to the back ofpanel 11 through screws introduced inholes 9a. In this position of closed door,pin 4 is located at the top of opening 8 andpeg 6 is about at ¼ of slot 7 (measured from the rear). - The simple and effective operation of the present mounting system for the panel is readily understood from the description above with the help of
figures 6 to 10 that show the various phases of the opening movement. - Starting from the position of
Fig. 5 , in the initial phase of the opening ofdoor 12, illustrated inFig.6 , the rotation ofbracket 2 aroundpin 4 causes an upward rotation oflever 3, aroundpin 5, throughpeg 6 that rises and advances to the center ofslot 7. The rising oflever 3 causes in turn, through therotatable plate 9, the upward sliding of thedecorative panel 11, which rotates around themobile fulcrum 10, with respect todoor 12 that rotates around thefixed fulcrum 4. - In the second phase of the opening, illustrated in
Fig.7 ,lever 3 continues to rotate upwards aroundpin 5 and reaches the maximum height, withpin 4 located at the bottom of opening 8 and peg 6 at about ¾ ofslot 7. As a consequence,panel 11 continues its sliding movement with respect todoor 12 driven byplate 9. - In the third phase of the opening, illustrated in
figures 8 and9 ,lever 3 starts to rotate downwards aroundpin 5 but sincedoor 12 is already opened more than 45°, the advancing ofpeg 6 towards the front end ofslot 7 results in a further sliding ofpanel 11 ondoor 12. - When
door 12 is completely open at an almost horizontal position, as shown inFig. 10 ,lever 3 has returned to the initial position ofFig.5 yet withplate 9 substantially horizontal. Furthermore, the rotatingbracket 2 has reached in abutment againstcatch 1a of thesupport bracket 1 andpeg 6 has reached the front end ofslot 7. Obviously, when the door is closed the mechanism operates inreverse taking panel 11 anddoor 12 back to the starting position illustrated inFig. 5 . - The effectiveness of the above-described mechanism is schematically illustrated in
Fig. 11 where the sequence of the positions taken by the bottom edge ofpanel 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. In such a case, in fact, the sliding movement performed by the mechanism is used to prevent the interference of panel 11' with thedishwasher base 13 without having to modify the latter in order to receive the oversize panel. - It is clear that the above-described and illustrated embodiment of the domestic appliance according to the invention is just an example susceptible of various modifications. In particular, in addition to the above-mentioned variations, other changes in the coupling and arrangement of the elements can be made as long as the automatic movement of the panel during the opening and closing movement of the door is retained. For example, to the detriment of the ease of mounting, the
support bracket 1 could be dispensed with by mounting therotating bracket 2 and lever 3 directly on the machine frame.
