Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a household appliance comprising a top plate.
  • a top plate is placed on the body so as to cover the top of the body.
  • the group of the top plate and the control panel which enables the user to select the desired functions to be performed by the household appliance is mounted to the body by sliding the top plate on the body in the horizontal direction, in other words, in the direction parallel to the surface whereon the body is placed.
  • the liquids which may leak through the gap are prevented from reaching the control panel and hence the electronic components preferably by means of additional plastic parts.
  • additional plastic parts increases both the cost and the time and labor needed during the production.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a household appliance comprising a top plate which can be grouped with the control panel so as to avoid the formation of gaps therebetween over time.
  • the household appliance realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises a body, a receptacle which is disposed in the body, a door which allows or prevents access to the receptacle, a control panel which is disposed in the body and which accommodates the electronic components and a top plate which is mounted onto the body so as to cover the top of the body, comprises at least one housing which is provided on the control panel, at least one retainer which is provided on the control panel so as to correspond to the housing and at least one connection member which is provided on the top plate and which is positioned such that at least a portion thereof is retained by the retained in the housing.
  • connection member is configured to be inserted into the housing and be kept in the housing by the retainer so as not to move in the direction opposite to the direction of insertion into the housing in order to connect the control panel and the top plate to each other.
  • the connection member is inserted into the housing and positioned in the housing so as to at least partially contact the retainer and thus be retained by the retainer so as not to move in the direction opposite to the direction of insertion into the housing.
  • the top plate is prevented from moving relative to the control panel in the horizontal direction, in other words, in the direction extending parallel to the surface whereon the household appliance is placed, as a result of possible forces acting on the top plate for example during the use of the household appliance.
  • the top plate is prevented from separating from the control panel in a manner to form a gap therebetween such that both the visual quality of the household appliance is improved and liquids such as water, liquid detergents, etc. are prevented from passing through said gap and damaging the electronic components in the control panel and hence consequently the household appliance.
  • the housing comprises two side walls which are fixed to the control panel from one end of each and extend parallel such that there is a certain distance therebetween, further comprising a base connecting the side walls to each other.
  • the base extends preferably between the free ends of the side walls which are not fixed to the control panel.
  • the side walls extend almost along the vertical axis while the base extends almost along the horizontal axis.
  • Said housing is substantially in a U shape formed by the side walls and the base, defining an opening therebetween.
  • the connection member is passed through said opening and positioned so as to be retained in the housing by the retainer.
  • the retainer is in the form of a beam which extends almost horizontally between the two side walls.
  • the retainer extends from the control panel at a certain angle to the vertical axis.
  • the retainer has a flexible structure.
  • the retainer stretches to a certain extent so as to facilitate the insertion of the connection member into the housing.
  • the shape of the group of the housing and the retainer resembles a window having a frame defined by the side walls, the base and the retainer with an opening remaining almost at the center.
  • the retainer extends parallel to the base such that the opening remains therebetween with dimensions allowing at least the passage of the connection member.
  • connection member comprises an extension which is fixed to the top plate at one end and which extends along an axis, and at least one tab which extends from a surface situated almost at the free end of the extension almost perpendicular to the axis the extension extends.
  • connection member comprises an extension which is fixed to the top plate at one end so as to extend along the horizontal axis and a tab which extends in the vicinity of the free end of said extension which is not fixed to the top plate almost in the vertical direction towards the retainer.
  • the tab extends from the extension at a certain angle to the vertical axis.
  • the tab has a flexible structure.
  • the tab stretches to a certain extent so as to facilitate the insertion of the connection member into the housing.
  • the tab contacts the retainer so as to be retained by the retainer.
  • the extension is prevented from moving in the direction opposite to the direction the same is inserted into the opening as a result of a force which may act on the connection member in the horizontal direction in a manner to leave the housing such that the risk of the formation of a gap between the control panel and the top plate due to the movement of the top plate relative to the control panel is eliminated.
  • connection member comprises a rib which is provided on the extension and which extends from the extension in a direction almost opposite to the direction where the tab extends.
  • the length of the rib is configured such that the end of the rib which is not connected to the surface of the extension can contact the base of the housing.
  • the retainer comprises at least one reinforcing wall which is provided on the surface thereof opposite to the surface thereof which contacts the connection member and which is fixed to the control panel from at least one part thereof.
  • Said reinforcing wall has a preferably triangular cross-section.
  • the housing and the retainer are integrated with each other.
  • the housing and the retainer are produced as integrated with each other and fixed onto the control panel as a single piece.
  • the top plate is prevented from moving away from the control panel by moving in the horizontal direction as a result of the forces with at least horizontal components acting on the top plate such that the risk of the formation of a gap between the top plate and the control panel in the horizontal direction is eliminated.
  • liquids such as water, liquid detergents, etc. are prevented from passing through said gap and damaging the electronic components in the control panel and hence the household appliance.
  • the household appliance (1) comprises a body (2); a receptacle (not shown in figures) which is provided in the body (2) and wherein the items are loaded; a door (3) which is mounted onto the body (2) and which provides or prevents access into the receptacle; at least one control panel (4) which is provided on the body (2); and at least one top plate (5) which is mounted onto the body (2) so as to cover the top of the body (2).
  • the items to be treated with the functions which can be executed by the household appliance (1) are loaded into the receptacle in the body (2). For example, when the household appliance (1) is a washing machine, the laundry desired to be washed is placed into the receptacle.
  • the door (3) is mounted to the body (2) so as to move between at least a first position allowing access into the receptacle and a second position preventing access into the receptacle.
  • the control panel (4) has electronic components which enable the household appliance (1) to be turned on and off and allow at least the selection of the desired functions of the household appliance (1), and is placed onto the surface of the body (3) where the door (3) is positioned, in other words, onto the front surface of the household appliance (1).
  • the top plate (5) is mounted to the body (2) so as to cover the top of the body (2).
  • the household appliance (1) of the present invention comprises at least one housing (6) which is positioned on the control panel (4); at least one retainer (7) which is positioned on the control panel (4) so as to correspond to the housing (6); and at least one connection member (8) which is disposed on the top plate (5) and which is positioned such that at least a portion thereof is retained by the retainer (7) in the housing (6).
  • the top plate (5) is positioned in the housing such that the connection member (8) is retained by the retainer (7) and thus the control panel (4) and the top plate (5) are connected to each other.
  • the retainer (7) is configured to prevent the connection member (8) from being released from the housing (6) and hence the top plate (5) from moving in the horizontal direction relative to the control panel (4) when a force with a horizontal component acts onto the top plate (5).
  • the top plate (5) is prevented from moving in the horizontal direction over time after the grouping of the control panel (4) and the top plate (4) during the assembly such that the risk of the formation of a gap between the control panel (4) and the top plate (5) is eliminated.
  • both the visual quality of the household appliance (1) is improved and liquids such as water, liquid detergents, etc. are prevented from passing through said gap and damaging the electronic components in the control panel and hence the household appliance (1).
