Description

A DISHWASHER COMPRISING A GROUPING MEMBER
The present invention relates to a dishwasher comprising a grouping member.
In dishwashers, dishes are placed into the washing tub to be washed. The cleaning process is performed by delivering water onto the dishes placed in the racks in the washing tub. The washing tub is isolated from the outer environment by means of a door. Usually a panel, a metal sheet or decorative panels is/are provided on the outer surface of the door. Circuit boards, illumination members, panel displays and related electrical cables are usually grouped behind the door. Therefore, the volume behind the door is of great importance. On the outer surface of the door, there are various handle structures which enable the user to open and close the door. The handles are located on the door so as to be easily gripped by the user. However, various mounting details are used in order to attach the handle structures on the door. Additional parts are used on the panel in order to attach the handles embedded in the door. Due to the gap between the additional parts attached on the door and the panel, water may leak into the door and cause the electronic components to be adversely affected.
In the state of the art European Patent Document No. EP2458060, a household appliance is disclosed, comprising a grouping member on the panel.
The aim of the present invention is the realization of a dishwasher with improved product safety.
The dishwasher 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 washing tub which is disposed in the body; a door which isolates the washing tub from the outer environment; a panel which is provided on the door; at least one circuit board which is provided on the panel and which has a control unit for controlling the programs; and a grouping member which is provided on the panel. The grouping member is attached to the back of the panel on the door and the circuit board is attached on the grouping member. Thus, the volume behind the door is enabled to be used more efficiently. The dishwasher of the present invention comprises a handle which forms a part of the grouping member and the circuit board which is attached on the grouping member. The grouping member enables the circuit board to be fixed and comprises the handle. Thus, water leakage through the handle to the circuit board is prevented.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the dishwasher comprises an opening which is provided on the panel, and one or more than one control button and a display which are attached on the grouping member. The display and the control buttons are attached on the grouping member. By means of the opening, the user can reach the control buttons and the display.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the dishwasher comprises a housing which is positioned behind the grouping member and a board holder which is attached on the housing. The circuit board is attached on the board holder.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the dishwasher comprises the grouping member having the handle with an inclined form towards the display, positioned in the horizontal plane from the panel towards the body so as to be gripped by the user. The handle is obtained thanks to the form of the grouping member.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the dishwasher comprises a frame which is provided on the grouping member. By means of the frame, the grouping member is attached on the panel, thus supporting the panel and improving the strength thereof.
By means of the present invention, a dishwasher is realized, comprising a grouping member which provides ease of assembly and product safety thanks to leakproofmg.
A dishwasher realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention is illustrated in the attached figures, where:
Figure 1 - is the perspective view of the dishwasher.
Figure 2 - is the perspective view of the panel.
Figure 3 - is the cross-sectional view of the panel.
Figure 4 - is the perspective view of the panel and the grouping member.

The dishwasher (1) comprises a body (2); a washing tub (3) which is disposed in the body and wherein the washing process is performed; a door (4) which isolates the washing tub (3) from the outer environment; a panel (5) which is provided on the door (4); at least one circuit board (7) which is provided on the panel (5) and which has a control unit (6) for controlling the programs; and a grouping member (8) which is attached on the panel (5). The panel (5) is provided on the door (4). The circuit board (7) is attached on the panel (5) on the door (4). The space behind the door (4) is used for arranging electrical cables and boards.
The dishwasher (1) of the present invention comprises a handle (9) which forms a part of the grouping member (8) and which enables the user to control the opening/closing of the door (4), and the circuit board (7) which is attached on the grouping member (8). A part of the grouping member (8) is configured to be used as the handle (9). Thus, the grouping member (8) is used as the handle (9) and used to group the circuit board (7). By means of the handle (9) and the grouping member (8) provided as a single piece, the liquid coming to the panel (5) is prevented from reaching the circuit board (7). In this way, leakproofing as well as ease of assembly and production are provided.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the dishwasher (1) comprises an opening (10) which is provided on the panel (5) and which allows access to the grouping member (8), and one or more than one control button (11) which enables the user to control the operating parameters, and a display (12) which provides information, the control buttons (11) and the display (12) being provided on the grouping member (8). By means of the opening (10) provided on the panel (5), the control button (11) and the display (12) attached on the grouping member (8) can be accessed. Thus, by means of the grouping member (8), the control button (11) and the display (12) are grouped, the circuit board (7) is mounted and the handle (9) is obtained.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the dishwasher (1) comprises a housing (13) which is positioned behind the grouping member (8) and a board holder (14) which is attached on the housing (13) and whereon the circuit board (7) is disposed. The circuit board (7) is attached on the board holder (14). Thus, the circuit board (7) is isolated from the outer environment. The board holder (14) is attached to the housing (13) provided on the grouping member (8). The attachment is performed by means of claws or screws.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the dishwasher (1) comprises the grouping member (8) having the handle (9) which is disposed in the horizontal plane from the panel (5) towards the body (2), which can be accessed by the user to open/close the door (4) and which has an inclined form towards the surface whereon the display (12) is positioned. The user is enabled to easily grip the door (4) by means of the handle (9) which is provided on the panel (5) in the horizontal plane towards the body (2) and which has an inclined surface towards the display (12). By means of the shape of the handle (9), the grouping member (8) can be easily manufactured.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the dishwasher (1) comprises a frame (15) which is provided on the grouping member (8) and which enables the grouping member (8) to be fixed on the panel (5) and which supports the panel (5) from behind to increase the strength thereof. The grouping member (8) is attached to the panel by means of screws or claws via the frame (15) provided around the grouping member (8). By means of the frame (15), the panel (5) is supported from behind and the strength thereof is increased.
By means of the present invention, a dishwasher (1) is realized, comprising a grouping member (8) which is attached on the panel (5) and which provide the grouping of the display (12), the circuit board (7) and the handle (9). By means of the grouping member (8), no opening (10) remains between the handle (9) and the circuit board (10), thus providing leakproofmg. Moreover, by means of the grouping member (8), more than one component can be grouped simultaneously, providing ease of production and cost advantage.
