Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a washing machine with a loading door that can be opened by a sliding and translatory motion.
  • the door of the washing machines used in the prior art opens to the right or left by a pivoting motion around the hinges provided on their sides. Due to the space restrictions originating from the objects in the vicinity of the machine, the opening of its door is hindered and the users can not load the laundry to be washed into the machine comfortably.
  • the object of the present invention is to realize a washing machine door that requires less space to be opened easily.
  • Figure 1 is the front view of the washing machine when its door: is completely closed.
  • Figure 2 is the front view of the washing machine when its door is completely open.
  • Figure 3 a is the schematic side view of the washing machine when its door is open.
  • Figure 3b is the schematic side view of the washing machine when its door is partially open.
  • Figure 3 c is the schematic side view of the washing machine when its door is completely closed.
  • FIG 4 is the schematic view of the locking mechanism.
  • the reference numerals of the components shown in the drawings are as follows:
  • the washing machine (1) comprises a cabinet (2) which comprises units serving for the functions of washing, and a door (3) formed to provide the loading of the laundry to be washed into and out of the cabinet (2).
  • Said door (3) is provided with lifting arms (4) on its lateral walls.
  • the lifting arms (4) are fixed into the cabinet (2) by means of a shaft (5) around which they can rotate by means of a helical spring.
  • Guide bars (6) with dampers are placed in a region preferably below the area where the lifting arms (4) are fixed, in order to prevent the lifting arms (4) from moving the door (3) to a direction other than the desired path and to enable the door (3) to move in a direction parallel to the front surface of the washing machine, while being opened or closed.
  • the guide bars (6) with dampers provide the motion which is parallel to the front surface, by adjusting their lengths when required. Furthermore, by virtue of the springs or compressed gas to be incorporated to the guide bars (6), the force required to bear the weight of the door (3) is provided.
  • the lateral wall bellows (7) located on the travelling path of the lateral arms (4) and guide bars (6) are formed to prevent the water splashes.
  • An opening-closing handle (8) comprising a hook (9) and a spring (10), is located on the door (3), preferably on its lower part. Also, a latch (11) or an electromechanical lock is formed on the cabinet (2), which is engaged to the hook
  • the hook (9) is released from the latch (11) or electro mechanical lock which in turn leads to releasing the door (3) and thus it opens upwards by virtue of the shaft (5) moving around the spiral spring (10), at the point where the shaft arms (4) are connected.
  • the guide bars (6) function as guides by virtue of their dampers, in order to direct the movement of the door (3) in a direction parallel to the front surface. Thus the movement of the door (3) outside the intended direction is prevented.
  • the opening-closing handle (8) is opened or closed manually, by the user.
  • the opening function can be made automatically without using said handle, as is the case for the electronic washing machines.
  • the hook is released electromechanically and the cover may be moved slowly by means of the springs and gas dampers. The reason for using dampers is to slow down the motion.
  • the upwards sliding and translatory movement of the door (3) is explained.
  • the present invention is not limited to the embodiments, certain modifications, changes or developments can be made provided that they remain in the scope of the claims.
  • the location of the lifting arms (4) and guide bars (6) can be changed to provide the sliding and translation of the door (3) in different directions.
  • the door opens only by a sliding movement.
  • the present invention is used for washing macliines in the preferred embodiment, it can also be used for the driers.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une machine à laver (1) dont la porte (3) peut être ouverte par un mouvement de glissement et de translation. Cette machine à laver comprend un ressort hélicoïdal et une tige, en plus des bras élévateurs (4) dont une extrémité est fixée à l'habillage (2) et l'autre extrémité aux bords de la porte (3), permettant le mouvement de la porte (3), et des barres de guidage (6) à amortisseurs, dont une extrémité est fixée à l'habillage (2), de préférence en un point situé au-dessous du point de connexion des bras élévateurs (4), permettant un mouvement parallèle à la surface antérieure de la machine à laver.
