Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de sécurité pour une porte de tambour rotatif applicable plus particulière- ment mais non exclusivement d une machine à laver le linge a chargement par la partie supérieure. The present invention relates to a safety device for a rotary drum door which can be applied more particularly, but not exclusively, to a washing machine for top-loading laundry.
Dans un type connu de machine à laver led linge à tambour rotatif,une porte à deux volets est prévue dans la surface Zatéraie du tambour, cette porte permettant l'introduction du linge a l'intérieur du tambour et son extraction. Au moyen d'un jeu de ressorts adaptés sur les axes de pivotement de ces voZets, ceux-ci tendent à se placer en position d'ouverture.Pour assurer leur fermeture, une fois le linge mis dans le tambour ou extrait de ce dernier, on exerce une pression sur le volet inférieur-et ensuite une pression sur le volet supérieur jusqu'à ce que Z'on obtienne un accouplement entre une paire de crochets solidaires du volet inférieur et une paire de trous rainurés prévus dans le volet supérieur. quand on supprime cette pression, les ressorts précités interviennent et sollicitent en direction de l'ouverture les deux volets, tout en assurant le maintien en position d'accrochage. In a known type of washing machine with a rotary drum, a door with two flaps is provided in the Zateria surface of the drum, this door allowing the introduction of the linen inside the drum and its extraction. By means of a set of springs adapted on the pivot axes of these voZets, they tend to be placed in the open position. To ensure their closure, once the laundry is placed in the drum or extracted from it, pressure is exerted on the lower flap and then pressure on the upper flap until Z'on obtains a coupling between a pair of hooks secured to the lower flap and a pair of grooved holes provided in the upper flap. when this pressure is removed, the aforementioned springs intervene and urge in the direction of opening the two flaps, while ensuring the maintenance in the hooking position.
Ce dispositif de fermeture présente l'inconvénient important que la porte peut s'ouvrir, a un moment détermine du processus de Zavage, si le linge qui tourne à l'intérieur du tambour vient a s'accrocher accidentellement a une partie quelconque du volet inférieur et vient a tirer sur ce volet avec une force suffisante pour vaincre la réaction des ressorts, ce qui entradne la suppression de Z'accrochage. La panne que provoque cet incident fortuit est très importante. This closing device has the significant drawback that the door can open, at a certain point in the Zavage process, if the laundry which turns inside the drum accidentally hangs on any part of the lower flap. and comes to pull on this flap with sufficient force to overcome the reaction of the springs, which entails the elimination of Z'accrochage. The breakdown caused by this fortuitous incident is very important.
La présente invention permet de résoudre ce probZème en procurant un dispositif de sécurité qui s'ajoute aux élémentss de fermeture par accrochage déjà connus et qui, situé a l'exté- rieur du bord du volet supérieur, entre les deux trous rainures ou Zumières, exerce simultanément une action de blocage sur les deux crochets du volet inférieur qui font saillie à travers les lumieres en position de fermeture, en empechant ainsi tout désaccouplement de ces crochets. The present invention makes it possible to solve this probZem by providing a safety device which is added to the locking elements by hooking already known and which, situated outside the edge of the upper flap, between the two grooves or zumières holes, simultaneously exerts a locking action on the two hooks of the lower flap which protrude through the lights in the closed position, thereby preventing any uncoupling of these hooks.
A cet effet, ce dispositif de sécurité pour la porte d'un tambour rotatif, utilisable plus particulièrement mais non exclusivement pour une machine a laver le linge à chargement par la partie supérieure, la surface latérale du tambour présentant une porte constituée de deux volets ayant tendance a s'ou vrir sous l'action de ressorts adaptés sur leurs articulations, le volet inférieur étant pourvu d'une paire de crochets s'engageant dans des trous rainurés ou Lumières percés dans le volet supérieur de Za porte, est caractér?sé en ce qu 'il est situé entre les trous rainurés ou Zumières, ce dispositif étant constitué d'une paire de coussinets supportant une tige rotative présentant des coudes à ses extrémités et qui, dans sa partie centrale située entre les eoussinets, est solidaire d'une manette d'actionnement formant un boftier comprenant un ressort de torsion dont la partie centrale hélicoîdale est enroulée sur la tige précitée, dont l'une des extrémités est accrochée dans une oreille du volet supérieur de la porte tandis que l'autre extrémité est accrochée dans une encoche prévue à l'extrémité libre de la dite manette. To this end, this safety device for the door of a rotary drum, usable more particularly but not exclusively for a washing machine with top-loading laundry, the lateral surface of the drum having a door consisting of two flaps having tendency to open under the action of adapted springs on their articulations, the lower flap being provided with a pair of hooks engaging in grooved holes or Lights drilled in the upper flap of the door, is characterized? in that it is located between the grooved holes or Zumières, this device consisting of a pair of bearings supporting a rotary rod having elbows at its ends and which, in its central part located between the bearings, is integral with an actuating handle forming a boftier comprising a torsion spring whose helical central part is wound on the aforementioned rod, one end of which is hooked in an ear of the upper flap of the door while the other end is hung in a notch provided at the free end of said handle.
On décrira ci-après, a titre d'exemple non Zimitatif, une forme d'exécution en référence au dessin annexé sur lequel:
- la figure 1 est une vue supérieure en pZan, partieZ Zement en coupe, d'un dispositif de sécurité suivant l'inven- tion;
- la figure 2 est une vue en coupe faite suivant la ligne A de la figure 1;
- la figure 3 est une vue en coupe faite suivant la ligne B de la figure 1. An embodiment will be described below, by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the attached drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a top view in pZan, partZ Zement in section, of a safety device according to the invention;
- Figure 2 is a sectional view taken along line A of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a sectional view taken along line B of Figure 1.
Sur les figures 1 a 3 du dessin, on peut voir les éZéments connus d'un tambour de machine à laver comportant une porte sur sa surface ZatéraZe, a savoir un volet inférieur 1 de la porte, un volet supérieur 2 de cette porte, des crochets 3 solidaires du volet inférieur 1 et des trous rainurés ou lu mières allongées 4 percés dans le volet supérieur 2 de la porte. In FIGS. 1 to 3 of the drawing, we can see the known elements of a washing machine drum comprising a door on its Zateraz surface, namely a lower flap 1 of the door, an upper flap 2 of this door, hooks 3 integral with the lower flap 1 and grooved or elongated holes 4 drilled in the upper flap 2 of the door.
Entre les Zumières allongées 4 est situé le dispositif de sécurité qui comprend une paire de coussinets 5 supportant une tige 6 présentant des coudes 6a à ses extrémités. Dans sa partie centrale située entre les coussinets 5, la tige 6 est solidaire d'une manette d'actionnement 7 qui forme un bottier comprenant un ressort de torsion 8 dont la partie centrale hélicôtdale est enroulée sur la tige 6, dont l'une des extrémités est accrochée dans une oreille 2a du volet supérieur 2 de la porte tandis que l'autre extrémité du ressort est accrochée dans une encoche prévue à l'extrémité libre de la manette 7. Between the elongated Zumières 4 is located the safety device which comprises a pair of pads 5 supporting a rod 6 having elbows 6a at its ends. In its central part located between the bearings 5, the rod 6 is integral with an actuating handle 7 which forms a shoemaker comprising a torsion spring 8 whose central helical part is wound on the rod 6, one of the ends is hooked into an ear 2a of the upper flap 2 of the door while the other end of the spring is hooked into a notch provided at the free end of the lever 7.
Le ressort 8 tend a maintenir la position illustrée sur les figures du dessin ,possition dans laquelle les extrémités coudées 6ade la tige rotative 6 sont Zogées dans chacune des Lumières allongées 4 , en constituant ainsi des butées qui empechent que les crochets 3 du volet inférieur de la porte puissent se dégager des Lumières allongées 4 du volet supérieur de cette porte. The spring 8 tends to maintain the position illustrated in the figures of the drawing, a possibility in which the bent ends 6 and the rotary rod 6 are zogged in each of the elongated lights 4, thus constituting stops which prevent the hooks 3 of the lower flap from the door can be released from the elongated lights 4 of the upper flap of this door.
IZ est évident qu'avant de manoeuvrer la porte du tambour pour Z'ouvrfr, il est nécessaire d'agir sur la manette 7 en la souZe- vant , de manière à dégager les extrémités coudées 6a de la tige 6 solidaire de la manette, et à les faire sortir des Zumiè- res allongées 4. Les crochets 3 se trouvent alors completement libérés et peuvent être dégagés des Lumières allongées 4,ce qui permet d'ouvrir la porte. IZ is obvious that before operating the door of the drum for Z'ouvrfr, it is necessary to act on the handle 7 by lifting it, so as to release the bent ends 6a of the rod 6 secured to the handle, and to get them out of the elongated Zumières 4. The hooks 3 are then completely released and can be disengaged from the elongated Lights 4, which makes it possible to open the door.
La manette 7 est actionnée uniquement de l'extérieur dutambour et elle supprime totalement le risque d'un incident par suite de l'ouverture de la porte due à l'accrochage du volet intérieur de cette porte par le linge tournoyant a l'intérieur du tambour. The handle 7 is actuated only from outside the drum and it completely eliminates the risk of an incident as a result of the opening of the door due to the attachment of the interior flap of this door by the swirling linen inside the drum.
