Description

La présente invention se rapporte à une base pour un appareil électroménager de repassage et/ou de défroissage comportant un réservoir s'étendant autour d'un compartiment et se rapporte plus particulièrement à une base dans laquelle le réservoir comporte au moins deux ailes latérales s'étendant le long de deux côtés opposés du compartiment.The present invention relates to a base for an appliance for ironing and / or degreasing comprising a reservoir extending around a compartment and relates more particularly to a base in which the reservoir comprises at least two lateral wings s' extending along two opposite sides of the compartment.

Il est connu, de la demande de brevet FR 1453774 déposée par la demanderesse, un appareil de repassage comportant une base comportant un réservoir d'eau s'étendant autour d'un compartiment recevant une cuve pour la génération de vapeur sous pression. Un tel appareil présente l'avantage de procurer une très bonne visibilité du niveau d'eau dans le réservoir ainsi qu'une très grande compacité grâce à l'intégration dans le compartiment de certains composants de l'appareil.It is known from the patent application FR 1453774 filed by the applicant, an ironing apparatus comprising a base comprising a water tank extending around a compartment receiving a tank for the generation of steam under pressure. Such an apparatus has the advantage of providing a very good visibility of the water level in the tank and a very great compactness through the integration into the compartment of certain components of the device.

Toutefois, dans ce document, le réservoir est relié à la pompe par un conduit d'évacuation qui communique avec l'intérieur du réservoir en un unique point de sorte que l'eau présente dans le réservoir peut rester piégée dans certaines parties du réservoir, et notamment en amont d'un bossage permettant le passage du conduit de vidange de l'appareil, et avoir du mal à se déverser dans le conduit d'évacuation lorsque le niveau d'eau dans le réservoir est bas. De plus, l'utilisateur n'est pas toujours en mesure de faire reposer parfaitement à plat la base de sorte qu'il est possible que la base soit inclinée légèrement dans un sens ne favorisant pas le vidage intégral du réservoir lors de l'utilisation de l'appareil. Ainsi, l'appareil peut être contraint de s'arrêter de fonctionner alors qu'il reste encore un peu d'eau dans le réservoir.However, in this document, the tank is connected to the pump by a discharge pipe which communicates with the interior of the tank at a single point so that the water present in the tank can remain trapped in certain parts of the tank, and in particular upstream of a boss allowing the passage of the drain duct of the apparatus, and have difficulty in pouring into the discharge duct when the water level in the tank is low. In addition, the user is not always able to lay the base perfectly flat so that it is possible that the base is inclined slightly in one direction does not promote the emptying of the entire tank during use of the device. Thus, the device may be forced to stop operating while there is still some water in the tank.

Aussi, un but de la présente invention est de remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant une base pour un appareil électroménager de repassage et/ou de défroissage comportant un réservoir s'enroulant au moins partiellement autour d'un compartiment pouvant recevoir des composants de l'appareil et comprenant deux ailes s'étendant le long de deux côtés opposés du compartiment dans lequel le vidage du réservoir est optimisé.Also, an object of the present invention is to overcome these disadvantages by providing a base for an appliance for ironing and / or degreasing comprising a reservoir winding at least partially around a compartment that can receive components of the apparatus and comprising two wings extending along two opposite sides of the compartment in which the emptying of the tank is optimized.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet une base pour un appareil électroménager de repassage et/ou de défroissage comportant un réservoir de liquide s'étendant autour d'un compartiment et comportant au moins deux ailes latérales s'étendant le long de deux côtés opposés du compartiment, le réservoir étant relié à un organe de l'appareil par un conduit d'évacuation au niveau duquel le liquide du réservoir est puisé, caractérisée en ce que le conduit d'évacuation relie également entre elles les deux ailes latérales du réservoir.To this end, the subject of the invention is a base for a household appliance for ironing and / or steam-freeing comprising a reservoir of liquid extending around a compartment and comprising at least two lateral wings extending along two opposite sides of the compartment, the reservoir being connected to a device member by a discharge pipe at which the reservoir liquid is drawn, characterized in that the discharge duct also connects the two lateral wings of the tank.

Un tel conduit d'évacuation reliant hydrauliquement les deux ailes du réservoir présente l'avantage d'être alimenté en liquide du réservoir par chacune des ailes latérales du réservoir de sorte que le conduit d'évacuation reste alimenté en liquide lorsque le niveau d'eau dans le réservoir devient bas et que l'appareil est incliné légèrement sur un côté. De plus, une telle construction permet également de favoriser le vidage du réservoir lorsque la paroi de fond du réservoir présente des reliefs ayant tendance à piéger l'eau dans une aile du réservoir.Such a discharge pipe hydraulically connecting the two wings of the tank has the advantage of being supplied with liquid from the tank by each of the lateral wings of the tank so that the discharge pipe remains fed with liquid when the water level in the tank becomes low and the unit is tilted slightly to one side. In addition, such a construction also promotes the emptying of the tank when the bottom wall of the tank has reliefs tending to trap water in a wing of the tank.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le réservoir comprend une paroi de fond reliant une paroi externe à une paroi interne du réservoir, établissant une séparation entre le réservoir et le compartiment, le conduit d'évacuation s'étendant sous le niveau de la paroi de fond du réservoir.According to another characteristic of the invention, the tank comprises a bottom wall connecting an outer wall to an inner wall of the tank, establishing a separation between the tank and the compartment, the evacuation duct extending below the level of the tank.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'appareil selon l'invention, le conduit d'évacuation débouche dans les deux ailes du réservoir par des orifices ménagés dans la paroi de fond ou dans la paroi interne à proximité de la paroi de fond.According to another characteristic of the apparatus according to the invention, the evacuation duct opens into the two wings of the tank through openings in the bottom wall or in the inner wall near the bottom wall.

Une telle caractéristique permet d'optimiser le vidage complet du réservoir par gravité.Such a characteristic makes it possible to optimize the complete emptying of the tank by gravity.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les orifices présentent la forme de fentes ménagées dans la paroi interne, en bordure de la paroi de fond.According to another characteristic of the invention, the orifices have the form of slots formed in the inner wall, at the edge of the bottom wall.

Une telle caractéristique permet d'avoir des orifices qui sont peu visibles et qui ne viennent pas détériorer l'esthétique de l'appareil lorsque la paroi externe de l'appareil est réalisée en matériau transparent.Such a characteristic makes it possible to have orifices which are not very visible and which do not come to deteriorate the aesthetics of the apparatus when the external wall of the device is made of transparent material.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique de l'invention le réservoir présente, dans un plan horizontal, une forme générale en U.According to yet another characteristic of the invention the reservoir has, in a horizontal plane, a general U shape.

Une telle forme en U du réservoir présente l'avantage d'offrir une excellente vision du niveau de liquide contenu dans le réservoir tout en ménageant un espace, entre les branches du U, dans lequel des composants nécessaires au fonctionnement de l'appareil peuvent être facilement intégrés. De plus, une telle forme présente l'avantage de laisser libre une face de l'appareil, située à l'extrémité des branches du U, où un tableau de commande peut être disposé en étant parfaitement visible pour une plus grande ergonomie d'utilisation.Such a U-shape of the tank has the advantage of offering an excellent view of the level of liquid contained in the tank while providing a space between the branches of the U, in which components necessary for the operation of the apparatus can be easily integrated. In addition, such a shape has the advantage of leaving a free face of the device, located at the end of the branches of the U, where a control panel can be arranged while being perfectly visible for greater ergonomics of use .

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la paroi de fond du réservoir comporte un bossage convexe, le conduit d'évacuation comportant une première extrémité qui débouche dans le réservoir d'un côté du bossage et une deuxième extrémité qui débouche dans le réservoir de l'autre côté du bossage.According to another characteristic of the invention, the bottom wall of the tank comprises a convex boss, the exhaust duct having a first end that opens into the tank on one side of the boss and a second end that opens into the tank. the other side of the boss.

Une telle caractéristique permet de favoriser le vidage complet du réservoir malgré la présence du bossage dans le fond du réservoir.Such a characteristic makes it possible to promote complete emptying of the tank despite the presence of the boss in the bottom of the tank.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le réservoir est un réservoir d'eau.According to another characteristic of the invention, the reservoir is a water reservoir.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le compartiment reçoit au moins pour partie une cuve pour la génération de vapeur sous pression comprenant un conduit de vidange fermé par un bouchon disposé sur une face latérale de la base, à proximité du fond du réservoir, le bossage de la paroi de fond du réservoir enjambant le conduit de vidange.According to another characteristic of the invention, the compartment receives at least part of a vessel for the generation of pressurized steam comprising a drainage channel closed by a plug disposed on a lateral face of the base, near the bottom of the tank, the boss of the bottom wall of the tank spanning the drain pipe.

Une telle caractéristique permet de réaliser une base génératrice de vapeur particulièrement compacte, notamment en hauteur, tout en ayant un réservoir d'eau de grand contenance.Such a characteristic makes it possible to produce a particularly compact steam generating base, especially in height, while having a high capacity water tank.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le réservoir est constitué par l'assemblage d'une pièce interne et d'une pièce externe s'engageant l'une dans l'autre, le conduit d'évacuation comportant une partie supérieure définie par la pièce externe du réservoir et une partie inférieure définie par la pièce interne du réservoir.According to another characteristic of the invention, the reservoir is constituted by the assembly of an inner part and an outer part engaging one in the other, the evacuation conduit comprising an upper part defined by the outer part of the tank and a lower part defined by the inner part of the tank.

La cuve 9 comporte des moyens de chauffages régulés pour produire de la vapeur sous une pression supérieure à 4 bars, et préférentiellement de l'ordre de 5 à 6 bars, et comporte un conduit de vidange 90 comprenant une extrémité fermée par un bouchon 13 disposé sur une face latérale de la base 1, à hauteur de la paroi de fond 7C du réservoir, cette dernière présentant localement un bossage 14 convexe qui enjambe le conduit de vidange 90.The tank 9 comprises controlled heating means for producing steam at a pressure greater than 4 bar, and preferably of the order of 5 to 6 bar, and comprises a drain pipe 90 comprising an end closed by a plug 13 disposed on a lateral face of the base 1, at the height of the bottom wall 7C of the tank, the latter locally having a convex boss 14 which spans the drain pipe 90.

Le conduit de vidange 90 comporte également, de manière connue en soi, une entrée latérale 91 reliée par un tuyau à une pompe haute pression fournissant une pression de l'ordre de 15 bars, la pompe aspirant l'eau du réservoir 7 pour l'envoyer dans la cuve 9. Le tuyau et la pompe, non représentés sur les figures, prennent avantageusement place dans un logement disposé dans la partie avant de la base 1, sous le tableau de commande 12 de manière semblable à l'appareil décrit plus en détails dans la demande de brevet FR 1456087 déposée par la demanderesse.The drain duct 90 also comprises, in a manner known per se, a lateral inlet 91 connected by a pipe to a high pressure pump providing a pressure of the order of 15 bar, the pump sucking water from the tank 7 for the The pipe and the pump, not shown in the figures, advantageously take place in a housing disposed in the front part of the base 1, under the control panel 12 in a manner similar to the apparatus described above. details in the patent application FR 1456087 filed by the plaintiff.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 4, le réservoir 7 comporte un conduit d'évacuation 70 reliant hydrauliquement entre elles les deux ailes du réservoir 7, le conduit d'évacuation 70 comprenant une crépine d'aspiration 60, disposée dans une partie du conduit d'évacuation 70 s'étendant sous le niveau de la paroi de fond 7C du réservoir, au niveau de laquelle l'eau du réservoir 7 est puisée par la pompe.As can be seen on the figure 4 , the reservoir 7 comprises a discharge duct 70 hydraulically interconnecting the two wings of the reservoir 7, the exhaust duct 70 comprising a suction strainer 60 disposed in a portion of the exhaust duct 70 extending under the level of the bottom wall 7C of the tank, at which the water of the tank 7 is drawn by the pump.

De manière préférentielle, le conduit d'évacuation 70 débouche dans les deux ailes du réservoir par des orifices 71, 72 ménagés dans la paroi interne 6 du réservoir 7, en bordure de la paroi de fond 7C, l'un des orifices étant constitué par une fente 71 de faible largeur, visible sur la figure 2, disposée sur le coté du réservoir 7 recevant le bouchon 13 de vidange, entre le bossage 14 et la face avant de l'appareil, l'autre des orifices étant constitué par une fente 72 de plus grande largeur, visible sur la figure 3, disposé sur le côté opposé de la base 1, à proximité de la face avant.Preferably, the evacuation duct 70 opens into the two wings of the tank through orifices 71, 72 formed in the inner wall 6 of the tank 7, at the edge of the bottom wall 7C, one of the orifices being constituted by a slit 71 of small width, visible on the figure 2 , disposed on the side of the tank 7 receiving the drain plug 13, between the boss 14 and the front face of the apparatus, the other of the orifices being constituted by a slit 72 of greater width, visible on the figure 3 , disposed on the opposite side of the base 1, near the front face.

Le conduit d'évacuation 70 est avantageusement disposé à l'interface entre les pièces interne 6 et externe 5 de manière à être réaliser lors de l'assemblage des pièces interne 6 et externe 5, une partie supérieure du conduit d'évacuation 70 étant définie par la pièce externe 5 et une partie inférieure du conduit d'évacuation 70 étant définie par la pièce interne 6, un joint étant surmoulé à l'interface entre les pièces interne 6 et externe 5 pour assurer l'étanchéité du conduit d'évacuation 70 et du réservoir 7.The evacuation duct 70 is advantageously disposed at the interface between the inner and outer parts 6 and 5 so as to be made during assembly. internal and external parts 5, 5, an upper part of the exhaust duct 70 being defined by the outer part 5 and a lower part of the exhaust duct 70 being defined by the inner part 6, a seal being overmolded at the interface between the internal 6 and outer 5 parts to ensure the sealing of the exhaust pipe 70 and the tank 7.

Une telle intégration du conduit d'évacuation 70 à l'interface entre les pièces interne 6 et externe 5 présente l'avantage de permettre le raccordement hydraulique des deux ailes du réservoir 7 de manière économique directement lors du processus de fabrication du réservoir 7, c'est-à-dire sans avoir à effectuer une opération supplémentaire pour la mise en place du conduit d'évacuation.Such an integration of the exhaust pipe 70 at the interface between the internal and external parts 5 has the advantage of allowing the hydraulic connection of the two wings of the tank 7 economically directly during the manufacturing process of the tank 7, c that is to say without having to perform an additional operation for the installation of the exhaust duct.

Ainsi, à titre d'exemple, les pièces interne 6 et externe 5 seront réalisées lors d'une opération de moulage effectuée simultanément dans un même moule de fabrication, puis les pièces interne 6 et externe 5 seront transférées dans une zone dédiée du moule où elles seront assemblées l'une à l'autre par surmoulage d'un joint réalisé en polypropylène.Thus, by way of example, the inner and outer parts 6 and 5 will be made during a molding operation carried out simultaneously in the same manufacturing mold, then the inner and outer parts 6 and 5 will be transferred to a dedicated area of the mold where they will be assembled to one another by overmoulding a joint made of polypropylene.

L'appareil ainsi réalisé présente l'avantage de favoriser le vidage complet de l'eau contenue dans le réservoir lors du fonctionnement de l'appareil, chacune des ailes comportant un orifice permettant l'écoulement de l'eau au travers du conduit d'évacuation. En particulier, l'eau contenue dans l'aile du réservoir disposé du côté du bouchon de vidange peut s'écouler intégralement malgré la présence du bossage dans le fond du réservoir.The apparatus thus produced has the advantage of promoting the complete emptying of the water contained in the reservoir during the operation of the apparatus, each of the wings comprising an orifice allowing the flow of water through the duct. evacuation. In particular, the water contained in the wing of the tank disposed on the side of the drain plug may flow completely despite the presence of the boss in the tank bottom.

Une telle construction permet également de proposer un appareil procurant une très bonne ergonomie d'utilisation tout en étant particulièrement compact, l'appareil présentant l'avantage de posséder un tableau de commande et un réservoir particulièrement visible, le niveau d'eau dans le réservoir étant notamment visible sur un angle proche de 280°.Such a construction also makes it possible to propose an apparatus providing very good ergonomics of use while being particularly compact, the apparatus having the advantage of having a control panel and a particularly visible reservoir, the level of water in the reservoir notably being visible on an angle close to 280 °.

De plus, la présence d'un orifice de chaque côté du réservoir pour alimenter le conduit d'évacuation permet également de favoriser le vidage du réservoir lorsque l'appareil n'est pas disposé parfaitement à plat mais est légèrement incliné sur un côté.In addition, the presence of an orifice on each side of the tank for supplying the discharge duct also makes it possible to favor emptying the tank when the apparatus is not perfectly flat but is slightly inclined on one side.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est nullement limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et illustré qui n'a été donné qu'à titre d'exemple. Des modifications restent possibles, notamment du point de vue de la constitution des divers éléments ou par substitution d'équivalents techniques, sans sortir pour autant du domaine de protection de l'invention.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described and illustrated which has been given by way of example. Modifications are possible, particularly from the point of view of the constitution of the various elements or by substitution of technical equivalents, without departing from the scope of protection of the invention.

Ainsi, dans une variante de réalisation non représentée, le conduit d'évacuation pourra déboucher dans les ailes du réservoir par des orifices ménagés directement dans la paroi de fond du réservoir.Thus, in an alternative embodiment not shown, the evacuation duct may open into the wings of the reservoir through orifices formed directly in the bottom wall of the reservoir.

Ainsi, dans une autre variante de réalisation non représentée, le conduit d'évacuation pourra déboucher dans chacune des ailes du réservoir par plusieurs orifices.Thus, in another variant embodiment not shown, the evacuation duct may open into each of the wings of the tank through several orifices.

Ainsi, dans une variante de réalisation non représentée, le conduit d'évacuation pourra être constitué par un tuyau indépendant qui est rapporté lors de l'opération d'assemblage du réservoir.Thus, in an alternative embodiment not shown, the evacuation duct may be constituted by an independent pipe which is attached during the assembly operation of the tank.
