Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif d'immobilisation d'un tambour d'une machine à laver le linge pendant les phases de chargement et de déchargement du linge, c'est-à-dire lorsque le portillon du tambour est ouvert.The subject of the present invention is a device for immobilizing a drum of a washing machine during the loading and unloading phases of the laundry, that is to say when the door of the drum is open.

Dans les machines à laver le linge du type connu s'ouvrant par le dessus, le tambour, à axe horizontal, est généralement fermé soit par un portillon coulissant, soit par une porte pivotante à un ou deux battants, soit encore par un portillon coulissant et pivotant. Lorsque la machine est à l'arrêt et le portillon ouvert pour le chargement ou de déchargement du linge, ce tambour est, soit libre en rotation, soit empêché partiellement de tourner comme dans le cas de certaines machines à laver ayant un portillon à deux battants par exemple. La demande de brevet n° 78/33290 décrit une machine de ce type ayant un tambour perfectionné dont l'ouverture peut être obturée par deux battants munis d'un dispositif assurant à la fois l'accrochage mutuel des deux battants et le blocage partiel en rotation du tambour en position ouverte. La possibilité de rotation du tambour, la machine à laver étant arrêtée, fait que l'ouverture d'accès du tambour peut se trouver déplacée par rapport à l'ouverture d'accès de la cuve, ce qui empêche une utilisation aisée de la machine.In washing machines of the known type opening from above, the drum, with a horizontal axis, is generally closed either by a sliding door, or by a pivoting door with one or two leaves, or even by a sliding door and swivel. When the machine is stopped and the door open for loading or unloading the laundry, this drum is either free to rotate or partially prevented from turning as in the case of certain washing machines having a double door for example. Patent application no. 78/33290 describes a machine of this type having an improved drum, the opening of which can be closed by two leaves provided with a device ensuring both the mutual attachment of the two leaves and the partial blocking in drum rotation in open position. The possibility of rotation of the drum, the washing machine being stopped, means that the access opening of the drum can be displaced relative to the access opening of the tank, which prevents easy use of the machine. .

Dans la demande du brevet français 80/05421, la demanderesse a décrit une machine à laver le linge dont le tambour horizontal est muni d'une porte coulissante et pivotante, ce tambour comportant des moyens d'immobilisation comprenant d'une part des éléments en saillie portés par les deux panneaux de la porte ayant la forme de cuvette et pourvus à leur partie arrière de glissières pouvant pivoter et coulisser sur des cordons de sertissage et, d'autre part des encoches ménagées au bord de l'ouverture de la cuve, ces encoches étant destinées à recevoir des éléments en saillie.In the application of French patent 80/05421, the applicant described a washing machine for washing the horizontal drum of which is provided with a sliding and pivoting door, this drum comprising immobilization means comprising on the one hand elements in projection carried by the two panels of the door having the shape of bowl and provided at their rear part with slides which can pivot and slide on crimping cords and, on the other hand notches formed at the edge of the opening of the tank, these notches being intended to receive projecting elements.

Dans la présente invention le tambour à axe horizontal est muni d'un portillon coulissant et de moyens décrits dans ce qui suit, ces moyens participant au verrouillage du portillon et permettant l'immobilisation de ce tambour lorsque le portillon est ouvert.In the present invention, the drum with horizontal axis is provided with a sliding gate and means described in the following, these means participating in the locking of the door and allowing the immobilization of this drum when the door is open.

Suivant l'invention, un dispositif d'immobilisation d'un tambour cylindrique à axe horizontal, placé dans une cuve de machine à laver, le tambour et la cuve étant munis chacun d'une ouverture d'accès, l'ouverture d'accès du tambour pouvant être obturée par un portillon qui peut coulisser suivant une direction perpendiculaire aux génératrices du tambour, ce portillon, muni d'une poignée, ayant une extrémité présentant un bourrelet, est caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte au moins un levier pouvant basculer autour d'un axe qui est solidaire de ce levier, des moyens permettant de rendre l'axe solidaire du tambour, en ce que le levier est muni d'un premier élément d'accrochage destiné à venir à coopérer, lorsque le portillon est ouvert, avec un second élément d'accrochage solidaire de la cuve, pour assurer l'immobilisation en rotation du tambour.According to the invention, a device for immobilizing a cylindrical drum with a horizontal axis, placed in a washing machine tank, the drum and the tank being each provided with an access opening, the access opening drum can be closed by a door which can slide in a direction perpendicular to the generatrices of the drum, this door, provided with a handle, having an end having a bead, is characterized in that it comprises at least one lever which can tilt around an axis which is integral with this lever, means making it possible to make the axis integral with the drum, in that the lever is provided with a first hooking element intended to come to cooperate, when the gate is open , with a second attachment element secured to the tank, to ensure the immobilization in rotation of the drum.

The invention will be better understood and other characteristics will appear from the following description and the accompanying drawings, in which:
  • - Figures 1 and 2 schematically show, in partial view, a horizontal drum placed in a washing machine tank, the door of this drum, provided with the immobilization device according to the invention, being respectively in the open position and in the position closed;
  • - Figure 3 shows the detail of a first embodiment of the device according to the invention.
  • - Figure 4 shows a top view, the detail of the device of Figure 3;
  • - Figure 5 shows the detail of a second embodiment of the device according to the invention.

La figure 1 représente partiellement un tambour 1 d'axe horizontal, ce tambour 1, muni d'une ouverture d'accès 2, étant disposé dans une cuve 3 d'une machine à laver le linge. Ce tambour 1 est muni d'un portillon 4 coulissant qui, dans cette figure 1, est en position ouverte, l'ouverture d'accès 2 du tambour 1 étant alors dégagée.Figure 1 partially shows a drum 1 with a horizontal axis, this drum 1, provided with an access opening 2, being arranged in a tank 3 of a washing machine. This drum 1 is provided with a sliding door 4 which, in this FIG. 1, is in the open position, the access opening 2 of the drum 1 then being cleared.

Le dispositif d'immobilisation suivant l'invention, fixé sur le tambour 1, comprend un levier 10 de verrouillage mobile autour d'un axe 13 rendu solidaire à la fois du tambour 1 et du levier 10 au moyen de deux pattes 11, 12 traversées par cet axe 13, la patte 11 étant fixée sur un support 19 lui-même fixé de façon amovible sur le tambour 1, et la patte 12 étant fixée sur le levier 10 comme le montre en détail la figure 3.The immobilization device according to the invention, fixed to the drum 1, comprises a movable locking lever 10 around an axis 13 made integral with both the drum 1 and the lever 10 by means of two legs 11, 12 traversed by this axis 13, the tab 11 being fixed on a support 19 itself detachably fixed on the drum 1, and the tab 12 being fixed on the lever 10 as shown in detail in FIG. 3.

Ce levier 10 est muni, à l'une de ses extrémités, d'un bec 14 destiné à venir se loger dans une encoche 15 ménagée dans un bloc 16 de verrouillage fixé sur la paroi intérieure de la cuve 3 comme le montre la figure 1, l'autre extrémité de ce levier étant munie d'un renflement 17 qui peut se loger dans une forme en creux ou gousset 18 du tambour 1. Un levier 20 prenant appui, à l'une 21 de ses extrémités 21 et 22 sur le support 19 est destiné à faire basculer le levier 10 de verrouillage qui est muni d'une barrette 23 formant un second point d'appui pour le levier 20.This lever 10 is provided, at one of its ends, with a spout 14 intended to be housed in a notch 15 formed in a locking block 16 fixed on the inner wall of the tank 3 as shown in FIG. 1 , the other end of this lever being provided with a bulge 17 which can be housed in a hollow or gusset shape 18 of the drum 1. A lever 20 bearing, at one of its ends 21 and 22 on the support 19 is intended to tilt the locking lever 10 which is provided with a bar 23 forming a second fulcrum for the lever 20.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation montré en figure 3 de façon détaillée, le support 19 est muni d'un orifice 25 dans lequel introduite l'extrémité 21 du levier 20, cette extrémité 21 recourbée restant alors prisonnière de l'orifice 23.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 in detail, the support 19 is provided with an orifice 25 into which the end 21 of the lever 20 is introduced, this curved end 21 then remaining trapped in the orifice 23.

Sur la figure 1, le portillon 4, qui est ouvert, repose par une de ses extrémités sur une butée 26 fixée sur le tambour 1 et comprend sur l'autre extrémité une poignée 41 et un bourrelet terminal 5. Sur la figure 2, ce portillon 4 est fermé et le dispositif d'immobilisation du tambour 1 fonctionne de la façon suivante :

  • lorsque l'utilisateur ferme le portillon 4 pour obturer l'ouverture d'accès du tambour 1, une légère pression de la main sur le levier 20 fait que l'extrémité 22 de ce levier 20 vient se placer sous une poignée 1 du portillon 4 comme le montre la figure 2 et, en vue de dessus, la figure 4. Ce levier 20 appuie sur la barrette 23 du levier 10 de verrouillage dont le bec 14 sort alors de l'encoche 15 du bloc 16 tandis que le renflement 17 du levier 10 se soulève pour laisser passer le bourrelet 5 du portillon 4, comme montré en figure 2, ce qui assure le maintien en position fermée de ce portillon 4 et empêche le levier 10 de se soulever sous l'effet de la force centrifuge pendant la rotation du tambour 1 lorsque la machine à laver fonctionne.
In FIG. 1, the gate 4, which is open, rests at one of its ends on a stop 26 fixed on the drum 1 and comprises on the other end a handle 41 and a terminal bead 5. In FIG. 2, this door 4 is closed and the device for immobilizing the drum 1 operates as follows:
  • when the user closes the door 4 to close the access opening of the drum 1, a light pressure of the hand on the lever 20 causes the end 22 of this lever 20 to be placed under a handle 1 of the door 4 as shown in FIG. 2 and, in top view, FIG. 4. This lever 20 presses on the bar 23 of the locking lever 10, the beak 14 of which then emerges from the notch 15 of the block 16 while the bulge 17 of the lever 10 is raised to allow the bead 5 of the door 4 to pass, as shown in FIG. 2, which ensures that this door 4 is kept in the closed position and prevents the lever 10 from lifting under the effect of centrifugal force during the rotation of the drum 1 when the washing machine is operating.

Lorsqu'un cycle de lavage est terminé, le portillon 4 est ouvert par l'utilisateur. Le levier 10 de verrouillage est libéré et peut alors basculer sous l'action d'un ressort 24 (visible sur la figure 3 détaillée) de sorte que, lorsqu'on amène l'ouverture d'accès 2 du tambour 1 en vis-à-vis de l'ouverture d'accès 30 de la cuve 3, le bec 14 vient se loger dans l'encoche 15 du bloc 16 de verrouillage (figure 1) après avoir suivi l'une des rampes 31 ou 32 de ce bloc 16, assurant ainsi l'immobilisation en rotation du tambour 1 dans la cuve 3.When a washing cycle is finished, the door 4 is opened by the user. The locking lever 10 is released and can then tilt under the action of a spring 24 (visible in detailed FIG. 3) so that, when the access opening 2 of the drum 1 is brought opposite -vis the access opening 30 of the tank 3, the spout 14 is housed in the notch 15 of the locking block 16 (Figure 1) after following one of the ramps 31 or 32 of this block 16 , thus ensuring the immobilization in rotation of the drum 1 in the tank 3.

La figure 5 représente une variante de réalisation du dispositif d'immobilisation suivant l'invention. Dans cette variante le levier 10 est maintenu en position de verrouillage au moyen d'un ressort 124 fixé sur l'axe 11 autour duquel peut basculer le levier 10, ce ressort 124, du type épinglette, ayant ses deux branches respectivement en appui sur le levier 10 et le support 19. Le ressort 124 permet l'introduction du bec 14 du levier 10 dans l'encoche 15 avec laquelle il coopère pour assurer l'immobilisation en rotation du tambour 1 quand le portillon 4 est ouvert. Lorsque l'utilisateur referme le portillon 4, le bourrelet 5 de ce portillon 4 vient se glisser sous le renflement 17 du levier 10 qui est alors soulevé et le bec 14 du levier 10 quitte l'encoche 15. Le tambour 1 est alors libre en rotation et la machine en état de fonctionnement.FIG. 5 represents an alternative embodiment of the immobilization device according to the invention. In this variant the lever 10 is held in the locking position by means of a spring 124 fixed on the axis 11 around which the lever 10 can tilt, this spring 124, of the pin type, having its two branches respectively supported on the lever 10 and the support 19. The spring 124 allows the introduction of the spout 14 of the lever 10 into the notch 15 with which it cooperates to ensure the immobilization in rotation of the drum 1 when the door 4 is open. When the user closes the door 4, the bead 5 of this door 4 slides under the bulge 17 of the lever 10 which is then raised and the spout 14 of the lever 10 leaves the notch 15. The drum 1 is then free in rotation and the machine in working order.
