Definitions

the present invention is related to door opening and locking mechanisms controlled from the front panel, which are used to open the front loading port in washing machines and the like and which operate by the help of a button.
the object of the present invention is to realize a front loading port opening system that can be controlled from the front panel instead of the handle controlled system which is now being used.
Another object of the present system is to realize the elimination of the need for separate moulds for panels with and without thermostat and the integration of the port opening function into the system.
the loading port opening and locking mechanism realised to achieve the object of the invention is shown in the attached drawings wherein:
Figure la shows the position of the cams in a machine with thermostat, at cold water position.
Figure lb shows the position of the cams in a machine with thermostat, at 90°C position.
Figure lc shows the position of the cams in a machine with thermostat, at port opening position of the button at 30° reverse direction.
Figure 2 is the section view of port-locked position.
Figure 3 is the section view of port opening position.
Figure 4 is the section view of port-open position.
a cam is placed in the rotative on/off knob realized in order to achieve the second object, which also allows the knob to return to the off position following a turn of 30° to the left from the "O" position.
the wire (2) is fastened to the said port opening cam on one end and to the safety knob (3) on the other end and provides the connection between these two elements.
the function of the port opening cam is to convert the rotary movement of the on/off knob to the linear movement of the wire.
the knob comes to the ON position. If the machine is to be stopped before the washing programme is not completed or when the programme is completed, in order to open the port (4), the knob is first brought to OFF position; thus opening the port when the machine is still operating, i.e. at ON position, is avoided.
the knob is turned 30° in anti clockwise direction by using the cam, the wire (2) rises upwards and by the help of the mechanism on the safety knob, the front loading port (4) is opened.
the safety knob (3) is provided with a bimetal in order to prevent the opening of the port during the centrifuge step of the washing cycle.
This bimetal locks the safety knob while the machine is operating, it also prevents the upwards movement of the wire (2) and provides a delay of at least 50 seconds before the port is opened.
the main energy supply to the bimetal is interrupted and the port may be opened minimum 50 seconds later.
the restriction of the port opening operation only by 30° in anti clockwise direction is provided by the thermostat and on/off knob.
One (8) of the two cams on the D-form pin of this knob is round to allow a free rotation and the other (7) is also in D-form to make it turn together with the pin.
