Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a door-lock for household appliances such as washing machines, dryers, washing-drying machines and the like.
  • a door-lock for household appliances is an electromechanical device adapted to lock in a closed position the door of a machine.
  • the door-lock is also provided with a door sensing circuit which provides information on the open/closed state of the door.
  • WO2013181289 discloses a door-lock for appliances including:
  • a drawback of the solution known from DE-A- 10 2015 201 944 is that it cannot be used on certain existing type of door locks.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a door-lock with an improved door sensing device with hysteresis function, which can be applied on existing types of door locks.
  • this object is achieved by a door-lock having the characteristics forming the subject of claim 1.
  • numeral 10 indicates a door-lock for household appliances according to the present invention.
  • the door-lock 10 comprises a casing 12 having an opening 14 for the insertion of a hook 15 carried by the door of the appliance.
  • the door-lock 10 includes a cam 16 rotatable relative to the housing 12 about a first axis A between a retaining position and a release position.
  • the cam 16 has an engagement portion 18 which cooperates with the hook 15.
  • the cam 16 is associated with a spring 19 having a bistable function. When the door of appliance is in the open position the spring 19 pushes the cam 16 to the release position and when the door of appliance is closed the spring 19 pushes the cam 16 to the retaining position.
  • the door-lock 10 comprises a locking slider 20 which is rotatable relative to the casing 12 about a second axis B oriented at 90° with respect to the first axis A.
  • the locking slider 20 is rotatable about axis B between a locking position and an unlocking position.
  • a spring 22 biases the locking slider 20 towards the locking position.
  • the locking slider 20 has a first lock portion 24 and a second lock portion 26, arranged on opposite sides with respect to the second axis of rotation B.
  • the first lock portion 24 is intended to contact the cam 16 to lock the cam 16 in the retaining position.
  • the second lock portion 26 of the locking slider 20 is designed to contact a locking pin 28, shown in Figures 1 and 2 .
  • the locking pin 28 is movable in a rectilinear direction C parallel to the second axis B and is movable between a release position and locking position.
  • the locking pin 28 engages the second lock portion 26 of the locking slider 20, the locking slider 20 is locked in the lock position.
  • the locking pin 28 is controlled by an electromagnetic actuator (not shown) in the manner described in WO2013181289 .
  • the door-lock 10 comprises a door sensing device 30 adapted to detect the open/closed state of the door.
  • the door sensing device 30 comprises a door sensing slider 32, movable in the casing 12 along a rectilinear direction D between an open door position shown in Figure 1 and a closed door position shown in Figure 2 .
  • a spring 34 for instance a helical compression spring, is set between the casing 12 and the door sensing slider 32 and biases the door sensing slider 32 towards the closed door position.
  • the door sensing slider 32 has an integral abutment portion 36 having a top surface 38 and an inclined surface 40.
  • the door sensing slider 32 has an integral arm 42 projecting in a direction orthogonal to the direction D.
  • a projection 44 is formed at a distal end of the arm 42.
  • the projection 44 projects below a lower surface of the arm 42.
  • the arm 42 has an elastically deformable portion 43.
  • the door sensing device 30 comprises a door sensing pin 46 which is movable in the casing 12 along a rectilinear direction F orthogonal to the direction D between a raised position corresponding to the open door position of the door sensing slider 32 and a lowered position corresponding to the closed door position of the door sensing slider 32.
  • the door sensing pin 46 cooperates with a door sensing switch (not shown) which elastically biases the door sensing pin 46 towards the abutment portion 36.
  • the door sensing pin 46 In the open door position of the door sensing slider 32 the door sensing pin 46 abuts on the top surface 38 of the abutment portion 36 and keeps the door sensing switch in an open state.
  • the door sensing device 30 comprises a retaining portion 48 integrally formed on the locking slider 20 in the vicinity of the second lock portion 26.
  • the retaining portion 48 has a bottom surface 50, a top surface 52, a first side surface 54 and a second side surface 56 extending between the bottom surface 50 and the top surface 52.
  • the second side surface 56 extends radially from the first side surface 54.
  • the retaining portion 48 also comprises an inclined ramp 58 which connects the bottom surface 50 to the first side surface 54.
  • the inclined surface 58 is set between the second side surface 56 and a rounded surface 60 which projects from the bottom surface 50 at an end of the first side surface 54.
  • the projection 44 of the door sensing slider 32 cooperates with the first side surface 54, the second side surface 56 and the inclined ramp 58 to provide a hysteresis of the door sensing device 30 as will be disclosed below.
  • Figures 1 and 5 show the door-lock 10 in the configuration in which the door appliance is open.
  • the cam 16 is in the release position and the locking slider 20 is in the unlocking position.
  • the cam 16 is free to rotate about the first axis of rotation A.
  • the projection 44 of the door sensing slider 32 engages the first side surface 54 of the retaining portion 48 as shown in figure 5 and keeps the door sensing slider 32 in the open door position against the action of the spring 34 which tends to bias the door sensing slider 32 towards the closed door position.
  • the door sensing pin 46 abuts on the top surface 38 of the abutment portion 36. Accordingly, the door sensing pin 46 is in the raised position and keeps the door sensing switch in an open state.
  • the hook 15 engages the cam 16 and causes the cam 16 to rotate about the axis A from the release position to the retaining position, as shown in figure 2 .
  • the cam 16 is in the retaining position, the locking slider 20 rotates about axis B in clockwise direction under the force of the spring 22 from the unlocking position of Figure 1 to the locking position of Figure 2 .
  • Figures 2 and 7 show the closed door configuration.
  • the locking slider 20 is in the locking position and locks the cam 16 in the retaining position.
  • the door sensing slider 32 is in the closed door position.
  • the projection 44 of the door sensing slider 32 is disengaged from the first and second side surface 54, 56.
  • the door sensing pin 46 is in the lowered position and the door sensing switch is closed.
  • the locking pin 28 is in the locking position and engages the second locking portion 26 of the locking slider 20.
  • the locking pin 28 is disengaged from the second lock portion 26 of the locking slider 20, so that the locking slider 20 is free to rotate about axis B and the cam 16 is free to rotate about axis A.
  • the hook 15 moves away from the casing 12 and causes the cam 16 to rotate from the retaining position to the release position.
  • the rotation of the cam 16 from the retaining position to the release position causes rotation in counter-clockwise direction of the locking slider 20 from the locking position to the unlocking position.
  • the projection 44 follows different paths during door opening and door closing. Accordingly, the door sensing device 30 detects in a differentiated manner the open/closed state of the door during closing and opening the door. More specifically, the change from closed door state to open door state during opening of the door is detected by the door sensing pin 46 in a first position of the door, whereas the change from open door state to closed door state is detected by the door sensing pin 46 in a second position of the door, which is different from the first position. Therefore, detection of the change of state of the door occurs with a certain hysteresis during opening/closing of the door, as required by the appliance manufacturers.
