Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a washing apparatus having a sliding door whose movement includes a shift in a direction orthogonal to the sliding plane, typically a washing and disinfecting apparatus, said apparatus comprising a device for collecting and draining water dripping from the door.
  • a washing and disinfecting apparatus typically of items used in the medical field, but it is clear that the same type of device can be applied to other washing apparatuses such as dishwashers, sterilizers, etc.
  • a washing and disinfecting apparatus usually comprises a wash tank provided with a front opening surrounded by a sealing gasket and closed by a door sliding vertically upwards to allow access to the tank.
  • the sliding motion is provided to the door by a drive device which also provides the orthogonal shift necessary to compress the peripheral gasket of the opening.
  • a sliding door of this type is for example described in EP 3075934 , in the name of the same applicant, to which reference is made for more details on the drive device.
  • a drawback associated with the use of washing apparatuses with sliding doors is that, since there is no continuity between the door and the tank as is usually the case with doors hinged along their bottom side, when the door is opened at the end of a wash cycle the internal surface of the door (internal/external being defined with respect to the wash tank) is wet and water drips from its lower edge falling to the ground. The same may occur, to a lesser extent, during washing when high water temperature and steam pressure forming inside the wash tank can cause small leaks from the sealing gasket.
  • the purpose of the present invention is therefore to provide a washing apparatus which is free from this drawback. Said object is achieved by means of a washing apparatus provided with a device for collecting and draining drip water comprising a collection tank located below the internal surface of the door to collect the water dripping from its lower edge, and a drain mechanism that causes the water to drain from the collection tank when the sliding door is closed and does not cause water to drain when the door is open.
  • a first important advantage of the present apparatus is to avoid wetting the floor of the room where it is installed when the apparatus door is opened.
  • Another remarkable advantage of this apparatus is that the collecting and draining device operates automatically and therefore does not require additional work from the operator to empty the collection tank, nor is there a risk of water overflowing from the latter (if properly dimensioned).
  • a further significant advantage of the above-mentioned collecting and draining device of this washing apparatus results from its simplicity of construction, which makes it economical, robust and reliable.
  • FIG. 1 The attached figures show in detail three embodiments of a drip water collecting and draining device installed on a washing apparatus according to the invention, which may be, for example, an apparatus with door 1 opening downwards, as indicated by the arrows in figures 1b , 2b and 3b .
  • the various embodiments of the washing apparatus according to the invention have in common a collecting device comprising a collection tank 2, located below the lower edge of the internal surface 3 of door 1, cooperating with an underlying drain tank 4 for conveying the collected water to a drain system (not shown) by means of a duct 5, as well as a drain mechanism, activation means and elastic means (illustrated in greater detail in the following) cooperating to automatically empty the collection tank 2 when door 1 is closed and to maintain the collection tank 2 in the drip water collection configuration when door 1 is open.
  • a collecting device comprising a collection tank 2, located below the lower edge of the internal surface 3 of door 1, cooperating with an underlying drain tank 4 for conveying the collected water to a drain system (not shown) by means of a duct 5, as well as a drain mechanism, activation means and elastic means (illustrated in greater detail in the following) cooperating to automatically empty the collection tank 2 when door 1 is closed and to maintain the collection tank 2 in the drip water collection configuration when door 1 is open.
  • the drain mechanism can take a first configuration ( Figs.1a , 2a , 3a ) where it causes the drainage of water from the collection tank 2 when door 1 is closed, and a second configuration ( Figs.1b , 2b , 3b ) in which the collection tank 2 retains the water that drips therein and which is taken under the action of the elastic means when door 1 is open.
  • the first configuration is taken, thanks to the activation means which overcome the action of the elastic means, when door 1 is closed and its internal surface 3 is pressed onto a peripheral sealing gasket 6, while the second configuration is taken when door 1 is open and tank 2 must collect the water dripping from the lower edge of the internal surface 3.
  • FIG. 1a The operation of a drip water collecting and draining device according to a first embodiment is illustrated in figures 1a and 1b .
  • This device includes a drain mechanism which is essentially a horizontal axis valve comprising a shutter 7 suitable for closing a drain hole 8 of the collection tank 2 and carried by a stem 9 coupled in a sliding manner with a support structure 10 fixed to door 1.
  • the elastic means consist of a spring 11 mounted on stem 9, between shutter 7 and the support structure 10, and the activation means consist of a counter pin 12.
  • the counter pin 12 pushes the valve longitudinally by sliding stem 9 into the support structure 10, overcoming the action of spring 11, thereby moving shutter 7 and thus opening the drain hole 8.
  • the water contained in the collection tank 2 flows out by gravity into the underlying drain tank 4, located below the washing compartment of the apparatus, and from there into the drain system through duct 5.
  • the counter pin 12 will have a section such as to enter hole 8 without plugging it.
  • the counter pin 12 it is not necessary for the counter pin 12 to be installed on the apparatus frame because it can also be installed on shutter 7 and even be an integral part thereof.
  • the counter pin 12 When closing the apparatus door, the counter pin 12 will abut against the apparatus frame and slide stem 9, compressing spring 11 and opening hole 8.
  • FIGS 2a and 2b show a portion of a washing apparatus incorporating a drip water collecting and draining device according to a second embodiment, wherein the elements corresponding to those shown in figures 1a and 1b are indicated with the same reference numerals.
  • the drain hole 8 is formed in the bottom side of the collection tank 2 rather than at the base of its internal side as in the first embodiment, whereby the valve will have a movement parallel to the sliding plane of door 1 instead of orthogonal thereto as illustrated above.
  • spring 11 is fixed between the support structure 10 and an intermediate plate of stem 9, exerting a pulling force rather than a pushing force as in the previous case, but it could also be arranged between the support structure 10 and shutter 7 exerting a pushing force.
  • the apparatus of figures 2a and 2b has activation means that comprise a wedge 13 attached to the apparatus frame and defining an inclined plane 14.
  • the stem 9 is configured to slide into the support structure 10 following the inclined plane 14 and this can be achieved, for example, by mounting at the free end of stem 9 a roller 15 configured to roll in contact with the inclined plane 14, as shown in figures 2a and 2b , or by installing a runner instead of roller 15 to run with little friction along the inclined plane 14 (solution not shown in the drawings).
  • stem 9 is preferably supported by a support structure 10 mounted on door 1 in a removable manner so that the valve and spring 11 can be removed for cleaning or maintenance purposes.
  • a washing apparatus with a collecting and draining device is shown in figures 3a and 3b .
  • the drain mechanism consists of a pivoting system 16 of the collection tank 2 on door 1.
  • the pivoting system 16 is configured so that the collection tank 2 can rotate inwardly around a horizontal axis so as to drain the water contained therein into the drain tank 4 when door 1 is closed ( Fig.3a ), and return to a collection position pulled back by spring 11, located externally between the collection tank 2 and door 1, when door 1 is open ( Fig.3b ).
  • the activation means consist of a pin 17 secured to the collection tank 2 and configured to slide downwardly along the inclined plane 14' of a wedge 13' fixed to the apparatus frame.
  • pin 17 abutting against the inclined plane 14' maintains the collection tank 2 in such a position as to pour the water contained therein into the drain tank 4, overcoming the action of the return spring 11.
  • pin 17 slides along the inclined plane 14' and spring 11 returns to its rest position bringing back the collection tank 2 to a configuration such that it will contain the water dripping from the lower edge of the internal surface 3.
  • the sliding direction of stem 9 may be defined so as to be also at an angle other than the direction orthogonal or parallel to the sliding plane of door 1, the activation means being obviously adapted to that different angle.
  • the activation means can be configured to act in a direction parallel to the sliding direction of stem 9 rather than coinciding with it as illustrated above, for example if the inclined plane 14 acts on a roller 15 arranged at the end of a horizontal arm extending from stem 9.
