Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a household appliance with a door opening mechanism.
  • the door opening mechanism allows for an automatic opening of the door of a household appliance, in particular, of an oven, released for example with a button on a control panel or a sensor located on the surface of the handle or connected to the handle.
  • Known door locks that enable keeping the door in a closed position and preventing the door from being opened by the user.
  • a European patent no. EP2479364 describes a solution, in which the door is locked by cooperation of the locking ledge located on the appliance door with a lock located in the body of the appliance.
  • the lock is equipped with a profile hook, whose rotation is controlled by the slider on a spring.
  • the door is locked by blocking the movement of the slider by an electromechanism with a moving catch.
  • Document DE 10 2011 011662 A1 discloses a lock for a dishwasher door comprising a lock for installation in the body of the dishwasher and a connecting unit mounted on the door of the dishwasher. It is also possible to install a lock on the dishwasher door and the connecting unit in the dishwasher body.
  • the lock comprises a pair of locking arms located in a housing and connected by a pressing spring, each arm mounted on a separate pivot axis. The free ends of the closing arms protrude from the housing and may deviate from the normal position held by the pressing spring against the spring return force.
  • the connecting unit comprises a closing throat, into which the free ends of the closing arms enter, when closing the dishwasher door.
  • the dishwasher door can be automatically opened by an opening unit comprising a screw mechanism driven by a motor which brings the free ends of the closing arms closer together and extends their ends from the recesses in the end zone of the closing throat.
  • the dishwasher door can also be automatically opened by a bolt on the actuator, which pushes the door out of the closed position.
  • the purpose of the invention is to develop household appliance with a door opening mechanism, the door of which can be opened automatically while keeping the possibility to open them manually.
  • a houshold appliance with a door opening mechanism consisting of a body closed by a door, including a lock mounted in the body of the household appliance, profile element located on the door of the household appliance and, located between the body and the door element exerting permanent force on a closed door in the direction of opening, characterised in that the lock consists of a rigid base, positioning other components, a pair of closing arms mounted on one axis built in the base, and intersecting with each other in the mounting location, that in the front part, between the pivot axis and the appliance door, have hook-shaped ends forming a clamp, and two helical pressing springs, whose ends are mounted respectively to the rear part of the closing arm and the adjacent to the arm side wall of the base.
  • Hook-shaped ends of the front part of the closing arms are located at the pin attached to the upper door rail of the appliance, which is a profile element of the appliance door opening mechanism.
  • the hook-shaped ends of the closing arms catch the pin, press the door to the gasket of the body of the appliance, and retain the door in a closed position.
  • a cam mounted on an driving shaft which causes the cam to rotate.
  • the closing arms are temporarily opened and the pin is released.
  • the lock further comprises a cam position sensor which allows the drive to be switched on and off once the cam has reached the correct angular position. The door opens following rotation of the cam to the position of maximum opening of the clamps of the closing arms and the pin release.
  • the pin has a shape of a deltoid with rounded vertices.
  • the long sides of the pin are directed towards the body of the household appliance.
  • the smaller lead angle during door closing allows to reduce the force required to close it, while larger lead angle when opening the door makes the force pressing the door to the housing gasket ensures the closure, and at the same time requires the use of sufficient force to open the door of the machine. This reduces the risk of accidental, uncontrolled door opening.
  • the advantage of the household appliance with a door opening mechanism according to the invention is a simple design consisting of few elements, which translates into relatively low cost of its production.
  • the lock allows both automatic door opening and manual opening at any time of the household appliance operation.
  • the mechanism has a neat appearance and can be easily adapted to different types of the household appliance front.
  • fig. 1 shows the lock in the closed position in a perspective view
  • fig. 2 shows the lock in a closed position in a view from the top
  • fig. 3 shows cross-section A:A of the lock shown in fig. 2
  • fig. 4 shows the lock in side view
  • fig. 5 shows cross-section B:B shown in fig. 4 of the lock in the closed position
  • fig. 6 shows cross-section B:B shown in fig. 4 of the lock in the open position
  • fig. 7 shows a perspective view of the Household appliance with a door opening mechanism and the location of the lock clamps
  • fig. 8 shows detail A shown in figure 7
  • fig. 9 shows the household appliance door from the appliance body side
  • fig. 10 is a schematic drawing of the pin with clenched clamps on it, from the top.
  • the household appliance with a door opening mechanism comprise the lock 13 mounted in the front panel of the body 12 of the household appliance, in such a way that its closing arms 2 are located at the height of the pin 8 located in the strip 9 of the door 11 household appliance. Closing arms 2 cooperate with the pin 8 during of opening and closing the door 11.
  • the lock 13 comprises a rigid base 1 in the form of a bearing plate, positioning other components of the lock 13.
  • the base has the pivotally mounted pair of closing arms 2, mounted on a common axis 3.
  • One of the closing arms 2 is "S"-shaped and the other one is shaped as an inverted “S”, and are mounted one on top of the other on the same axis 3 built in the base 1, intersecting each other in the place of mounting, in the middle of their length.
  • Arms 2 have vertical ends 2c of the rear parts of the arms 2b, and the free parts of the front section 2a of the closing arms 2 extending below the base of the lock 1 are the hook-shaped ends forming clamps cooperating with the pin 8 located on the door 11.
  • Lock 13 has two helical pressing springs 4, the ends of which are mounted respectively to the vertical ends 2c of the rear part 2b of the closing arms 2 and adjacent to the arms 2 side walls 1a of the base 1, on which they are based, while being mounted on a tongue located on this side wall 1a.
  • These springs 4 press against the ends 2c of the rear parts 2b of the closing arms 2 and cause clenching of the front parts 2a of the closing arms 2. Opening the arms 2 may occur as a result of rotation of the cam 5 mounted on the drive shaft 6.
  • Profile element is a pin 8 which is an integral element in the strip of the door 9.
  • the pin 8 has a shape of a deltoid with rounded vertices, and its long sides 8a are directed towards the body 12 of the appliance.
  • Closing arms 2 cooperate with the pin 8, whose shape is chosen so that at the moment of closing the door 11 the force required to close them is reduced, and exert a force pressing the door 11 to the gasket.
  • a threshold force is required, and the door 11 can be opened only after this force is exceeded.
  • the cam 5 is rotated by the drive 6 by an angle of 180°, thereby causing a temporary opening of the closing arms 2, thereby allowing automatic opening of the door, on which in the closed position a constant force is exerted in the direction of opening.
  • this element are hinges 10 mounted on the door 11 between the door 11 and the body 12 to allow movement of the door 11.
  • the lock is equipped with a cam position sensor 7, which enables and disables the drive 6 when the cam 5 has reached the correct angular position.
