Definitions

  • This invention relates to a hinge for doors of domestic appliances.
  • this invention relates to a hinge for doors of dishwashers.
  • the aim is to improve the energy efficiency of the electrical domestic appliances, basically by a reduction in energy consumption.
  • the heating devices consisting basically of electrical resistors, which determine the high level of electricity absorption during the step for washing dishes.
  • opening systems equipped with motor-driven hinges and devices, which can be activated by the dishwasher's electronic unit and which is able to cause a partial opening of the door.
  • a first drawback connected to the use of the motor-driven systems and devices described above is due to their high cost.
  • the aim of the present invention is, therefore, to overcome the disadvantages indicated above and provide an alternative to the prior art devices described above.
  • Another aim of this invention is to provide a hinge for doors of dishwashers which is inexpensive to manufacture, efficient to operate and easy to maintain.
  • This invention accordingly provides a hinge for doors or wings comprising the features described in any of the appended claims.
  • the reference numeral 1 denotes in its entirety a preferred embodiment of the hinge according to this invention.
  • the hinge 1, paired with another one, is designed to be mounted, on a dishwasher, not illustrated, to connect the frame to a door in such a way that the latter is movable relative to the frame between a closed position and an open position.
  • the hinge 1 comprises a first element 2 adapted for fixing to the above-mentioned, not illustrated, door of the dishwasher, and a second element 3, at least in part of a box-shaped type, adapted for fixing to the above-mentioned, not illustrated, frame of the dishwasher.
  • the first element 2 is pivoted to the second element 3 by a pin 4 to allow reciprocal rotation of the elements 2, 3 about a respective axis of rotation A1.
  • the axis of rotation A1 defines the axis of rotation of the above-mentioned, not illustrated, door relative to the above-mentioned frame, also not illustrated.
  • the first and second elements 2 and 3 are kinematically connected to each other by a connecting lever 5.
  • the connecting lever 5 is pivoted to the first element 2 by a pin 6 in such a way as to rotate at least partly relative to the first element 2 itself about a respective axis A2.
  • the hinge 1 also comprises a helical spring 7 and a drive rod 8 of the spring 7, both supported by the second, box-shaped element 3.
  • the drive rod 8 is engaged at the bottom by a hook 9.
  • the hook 9 is pivoted on the lever 5 at its second end 5b, opposite the above-mentioned first end 5a.
  • the drive rod 8 of the spring 7 is advantageously positioned inside the spring 7 itself and is connected to the top thereof, for example by a stop element 7a in such a way as to compress it, according to substantially known methods.
  • the drive rod 8 has an upper end that is longitudinally opposite the end that is hooked to the lever 5, the upper end being designed to engage an upper end coil of the spring 7 in such a way as to compress the spring 7.
  • the spring 7 and the rod 8 extend principally along a direction of extension B of the second element 3.
  • the spring 7 constitutes first elastic means for the hinge 1.
  • the second, box-shaped element 3 has a bracket 10 with a flat extension perpendicular to the plane of the figures, a hole 11 being made on the bracket 10 for the passage of the drive rod 8.
  • the friction element 12 At the hole 11, and coaxial with it, a tapered friction element 12 is housed.
  • the friction element 12 of substantially known type, comprises an upper tapered portion 12a and a lower cylindrical portion 12b inserted in the hole 11.
  • the tapered upper portion 12a is divided into two lateral fingernail-shaped protrusions adapted to superficially engage, and apply a frictional action on, the two opposite faces 8a, 8b of the rod 8.
  • a slot 14 is made on the lever 5.
  • the slot 14 with its peripheral edge slidably engages with a guide pin 15, integral with the second element 3.
  • the slot 14 defines a first cam made on the lever 5.
  • the hinge 1 also comprises a rocker 16 pivoted on the second element 3 so as to oscillate about a respective axis A3.
  • the rocker 16 comprises a first portion 16a engaged with a helical spring 17 and a second portion 16b designed to engage with the lever 5, as illustrated in Figures 1 to 3 .
  • the helical spring 17 is stably interposed between the above-mentioned first portion 16a of the rocker and a projection 18 protruding from a bottom wall 3a of the second element 3.
  • a pin 19 also projecting from the bottom wall 3a, defines an end of stroke stop element for the rocker 16 in its oscillation about the axis A3.
  • the rocker 16 defines, for the hinge 1, pushing means designed to determine, as will be described more fully below, the relative moving away from the above-mentioned first and second element 2, 3 starting from a closed position of the door.
  • the helical spring 17 defines, for the hinge 1, second elastic means designed to activate the rocker 16.
  • the lever 5 has, in the proximity of its end 5b, a second cam 20.
  • the second cam 20 is designed to engage with the second portion 16b of the rocker 16.
  • the rocker 16 comprises a roller 21 defining the follower in the coupling with the second cam 20.
  • the second cam 20 made on the lever 5 has a protrusion 20a such as to form a stop zone for the follower consisting of the roller 21.
  • the above-mentioned limiting means also comprise the pin 19 designed to define an end of stroke stop position for the rocker 16.
  • the partial opening of the door determined by the above-mentioned limiting means is defined by a mutual angle of opening between the first and the second element, of between 5 and 15 sexagesimal degrees.
  • the partial opening of the door is defined by a mutual angle of opening between the first and second element, of between 8 and 10 sexagesimal degrees.
  • the above-mentioned partial opening is defined by an angle of approximately 8 sexagesimal degrees.
  • the elastic force F determined by the preloading of the spring and applied to the door of the dishwasher to determine a partial opening is able to generate a flow of air inside the dishwasher.
  • the circulation of air facilitates the drying of the dishes which have just been washed.
  • Figure 3 shows the position of last contact of the follower 21 with the second cam 20 of the lever 5.
  • Figure 4 illustrates a configuration of the hinge 1, corresponding to a fully open position of the door of the dishwasher, with the first and second element 2, 3 open to each other by approximately 90°.
  • the rod 8 remains with its faces 8a, 8b parallel to the friction surfaces of the friction means, thereby guaranteeing a regular frictional action without jamming. Jamming might also occur if the rod 8 moved at an angle in such a way as, for example, to strike one of the fingernail-shaped protrusions on the friction element 12.
  • the rod 8 has, at its lower zone close to the hook 9, a reduced thickness relative to that of the remaining part.
  • the frictional action of the hinge is achieved for the entire opening-closing stroke with the exception of the first stretch, that is to say, for example with reference to the preferred embodiment illustrated, between 0° and 8°.
  • the hinge 1 according to this invention offers many obvious advantages.
  • a first advantage is due to the simple and inexpensive construction which enables the door to be provided with the opening force without any electric drive unit.
  • Another advantage is its compact and easy construction.
  • the hinge 1 achieves the preset aims, providing an effective, practical and inexpensive alternative to the prior art devices.
