Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a door opening system for automatic opening of the doors of the washers.
  • the washers such as dishwashers comprise an inner volume in which the washing process is performed and a door which allows or prevents accession therein. During the washing process of the washers, the said door is retained in its closed position in which accession to the inner volume is prevented.
  • the inventive door opening system is suitable for use in a washer comprising at least a body, at least a door which is moved into a closed position or an opened position, and at least a hinge which connects the door to the body in a movable manner, and the said system allows travel of the door from closed to open position.
  • the said door opening system comprises at least a skid mechanism positioned on the door or body such that when one side of the said movable arm is moved away from the skid body, the movable arm exerts force upon the door in such a way that it is moved away from the body, and comprising:
  • the inventive door opening system for instance the door of a dishwasher is moved into its opened position during the drying process thereof, and thus the said drying process is performed with a lower amount of power. Furthermore, thanks to the flexible member comprised in the skid mechanism, even at the instant when the door is moved into its opened position by means of the skid mechanism, the user can close the door in a reliable manner. Therefore, there is provided a reliable and long-lasting door opening system.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a door opening system for automatic opening of the doors of the washers.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a door opening system which reduces the amount of power used by the washer in which it is installed.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a reliable and long-lasting door opening system.
  • the washers comprise at least an inner volume into which the articles to be washed are placed and at least a door which is used for accessing therein.
  • the door of the washer must be opened automatically after the washing and rinsing processes are completed (for example, during the drying process). Accordingly, the present invention provides a door opening system for opening of the doors of the washers.
  • the door opening system is suitable for use in a washer (M) comprising at least a body (B), at least a door (D) which is moved into a closed position or an opened position via its movement with respect to the body (B) and at least a hinge (H) which connects the door (D) to the body (B) in a movable manner.
  • a washer comprising at least a body (B), at least a door (D) which is moved into a closed position or an opened position via its movement with respect to the body (B) and at least a hinge (H) which connects the door (D) to the body (B) in a movable manner.
  • the door (D) is retained in its closed position mainly through at least a retainer (2) comprised in the body (B) and at least a lock (1) which is comprised in the door (D) and is accommodated by the said retainer (2).
  • the said door opening system has a structure which allows travel of the door (D) into its open position during an operating cycle of the washer (M) ( drying step).
  • the inventive door opening system comprises at least a skid mechanism (3) which is positioned on the body (B) or the door (D) and is capable of moving the door (D) with respect to the body (B).
  • the said skid mechanism (3) comprises at least a skid body (5); at least a gear wheel (7) located inside the skid body (5); at least a movable arm (6), at least one side of which is in the form of a rack contacting with the gear wheel (7) and at least one side of which moves away from or gets close to the skid body (5) by means of the movement of the gear wheel (7); at least a displacement member (9) which moves the said gear wheel (7); at least a movement transfer member (8) which transfers the movement of the displacement member (9) to the gear wheel (7), and at least a flexible member (10) which is located between the skid body (5) and the displacement member (9) and which exerts force upon the displacement member (9) in the direction of the said gearwheel (7).
  • the movable arm (6) of the door opening system is located in a position in which, when one side of the said movable arm (6) is moved away from the skid body (5), it exerts force upon the door (D) in such a way that the latter is moved away from the body (B).
  • the said displacement member (9) is powered, which allows the movement of at least a movable portion of the displacement member (9).
  • the movement of the displacement member (9) is transferred to the gear wheel (7) by means of the said movement transfer member (8) and the gear wheel (7) is thus moved.
  • the movable arm (6) exerts force upon the door (D) in such a way that the latter is moved away from the body (B). Thanks to the applied force, the said retainer (2) is, for example, released from the lock (1) and thus the door (D) is moved into its opened position.
  • the said displacement member (9) comprises at least a thermo-actuator.
  • the said movement transfer member (8) is in the form of a rack.
  • the movement transfer member (8) allows the gear wheel (7) to rotate.
  • the said displacement member (9) comprises at least a motor.
  • the said movement transfer member (8) is preferably in the form of a worm gear which is connected to the rotor of the motor. Therefore, when the motor is powered, the movement transfer member (8) which is in the form of a worm gear rotates and moves the gear wheel (7). Also in this embodiment, the user can move the door (D) having been opened into its closed position in a reliable manner by means of the said flexible member (10).
  • the said gearwheel (7) comprises at least two gears having different diameters and fixed to each other in their axes of rotation.
  • the said movable arm (6) contacts with one of the gears while the movement transfer member (8) contacts with the other. Therefore, the ratio of movement quantity (or force) between the movement transfer member (8) and the movable arm (6) is adjusted. Furthermore, since the movement transfer member (8) and the movable arm (6) contact with different gears, the movement transfer member (8) and the movab prevented to contact each other.
  • the said skid mechanism (3) comprises at least a cover (11) covering the said skid body (5) so as to prevent those members comprised in the skid body (5) from being damaged because of the external environment (for example, in order to prevent the movable components from being damaged as a result of foreign substances such as dust).
  • the door opening system comprises two movable arms (6).
  • the said movable arms (6) are positioned in such a way that they are symmetrically located with respect to an axis which is perpendicular to the movement axis of the door (D) and which centers the door (D). Therefore, for each movable arm (6), the reaction forces exerted upon the movable arms (6) by the door (D) as opposed to the force exerted upon the door (D) are equalized. Thanks to the fact that the force applied on a movable arm (6) is equal to that applied on the other movable arm (6), the door opening system is made long-lasting.
  • the door opening system comprises at least a skid member (4) which exert force upon the door (D) so as to cause the latter to move away from the body (B) (i.e. to move into its open position) and which is exemplified in Figure 5 .
  • the force exerted upon the door (D) by the said skid member (4) is not sufficient to release the retainer (2) from the lock (1), but when the door (D) is moved into its opened position by means of the said skid mechanism (3), it assists in movement of the door (D).
  • the said skid member (4) comprises at least a skid member body (12) fixed to the body (B); at least a further movable arm (13) which is connected to the said skid member body (12) so that it is moved away from the skid member body (12) and, when moved away from the skid member body (12), exerts force upon the door (D) so as to move it in its opened position; and at least a further flexible member (14) which exerts force upon the movable arm (13) so that it is moved away from the skid member body (12).
  • the said skid member (4) is preferably located close to the hinge (H) and the movable arm (13) of the said skid member (4) contacts with at least a protrusion (H1) of the hinge (H), as shown in Figure 2 . In this embodiment, by adjustment of the length of the movable arm (13) of the skid member (4) and/or the driving force of th (14) of the skid member (4) the door (D) can be opened to the desired extent.
  • the inventive door opening system for instance the door (D) of a dishwasher is moved into its opened position during the drying process thereof, and thus the said drying process is performed with a lower amount of power. Furthermore, thanks to the flexible member (10) comprised in the skid mechanism (3), even at the instant when the door (D) is moved into its opened position by means of the skid mechanism (3), the user can close the door (D) in a reliable manner. Therefore, there is provided a reliable and long-lasting door opening system.
