Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hinge for the door of electrical household appliances, particularly for hinging the door of dishwashers.
  • the doors of electrical household appliances are connected to the body of the appliance by means of a pair of coaxial hinges, which allow the door to rotate with respect to the body of the appliance in order to open or close it.
  • hinges are known which are designed to be used in pairs so as to allow the rotation of the door of the dishwasher with respect to the body of the appliance about a horizontal axis that is proximate to the lower side of the door.
  • Such hinges are composed of a coupling element, to be fixed to the body of the appliance, and a supporting element, to be fixed to the door, which are mutually hinged about a main axis, which constitutes the axis about which the door is rotated with respect to the body of the appliance in order to open or close it.
  • an effect of compensation of the weight of the door is generally required which can vary from appliance to appliance and depending on the covering panel, if any, that is applied to the outer side of the door, such as for example in the case of fitted appliances.
  • Such compensation effect is obtained generally by means of a spring, which is connected to the supporting element by means of a connecting element, which is hinged to a portion of the supporting element about a second axis which is parallel to, and spaced from, the main axis so that the elastic reaction of the spring generates a torque, about the main axis, that contrasts the torque generated by the weight of the door, which increases as the extent of the opening of the door increases.
  • the function of the connecting element is to vary adequately the arm of the elastic reaction generated by the spring, with respect to the main axis, in order to counterbalance in the best possible manner the weight of the door both during opening and during closure.
  • Document US 4 163 344 A1 shows a hinge mechanism including a bracket rigidly mounted to the side wall of a oven structure for pivotally securing a door to the side wall of the oven housing.
  • the aim of the present invention is to meet the requirement described above by providing a hinge for the door of electrical household appliances, particularly for hinging the door of dishwashers, which is structurally simple.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a hinge that is composed of a limited number of components that are simple to manufacture and assemble.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a hinge that can be manufactured with competitive costs.
  • a hinge for the door of electrical household appliances comprising a coupling element, which can be fixed to the body of the appliance, and a supporting element, which can be fixed to the door and is hinged to said coupling element about a main axis, an element being provided for connecting said supporting element to elastic means that contrast the rotation of said supporting element with respect to said coupling element in the direction of rotation that corresponds to the opening rotation of the door with respect to the appliance, friction means being also provided which are interposed between said connecting element and said coupling element in order to slow the rotation of said supporting element with respect to said coupling element about said main axis, characterized in that said friction means are connected to said coupling element and engage against two opposite faces of said connecting element.
  • the hinge according to the invention generally designated by the reference numeral 1, comprises a coupling element 2, which can be fixed to the body of the appliance, and a supporting element 3, which can be fixed to the door and is hinged to the coupling element 2 about a main axis 4.
  • the coupling element 2 and the supporting element 3 can be made, in a per se known manner, of blanked and folded metal plate and be fixed respectively to the body of the appliance and to the door, which are not illustrated for the sake of simplicity, by way of connecting means of a known type, such as for example screws, bolts, rivets or other technically equivalent connecting means.
  • the hinge according to the invention also comprises an element 5 for connecting the supporting element 3 to elastic means 6, which contrast the rotation of the supporting element 3 with respect to the coupling element 2 in the direction of rotation that corresponds to the opening rotation of the door with respect to the appliance.
  • the hinge according to the invention further comprises friction means 7, which are interposed between the connecting element 5 and the coupling element 2 in order to slow the rotation of the supporting element 3 with respect to the coupling element 2 about the main axis 4.
  • the friction means 7 are connected to the coupling element 2 and engage against two opposite faces of the connecting element 5.
  • the connecting element 5 has a substantially plate-like shape and the friction means 7 engage the two opposite larger faces of the connecting element 5.
  • the connecting element 5 is hinged, proximate to one of its ends, to the supporting element 3 about a second axis 8, which is parallel and spaced with respect to the main axis 4, and to the coupling element 2 about a third axis 9, which is parallel and spaced with respect to the main axis 4 and the second axis 8.
  • the connecting element 5 is connected to the elastic means 6 with a portion thereof that is arranged opposite the second axis 8 with respect to the third axis 9, and the connecting element 5 can slide, on a plane which is perpendicular to the main axis 4, with respect to the coupling element 2.
  • the third axis 9 is formed by a pivot 10, which is fixed to the coupling element 2, and the coupling element 5 mates with such pivot 10 by means of an elongated slot 11, so that the connecting element 5 can rotate, in its plane of arrangement, with respect to the coupling element 2 about the third axis 9, i.e., with respect to the axis of the pivot 10, and can also perform a translational motion, in its plane of arrangement, with respect to the pivot 10.
  • a resting element 12 is provided, which is connected to the coupling element 2 laterally to the connecting element 5.
  • Such resting element 12 defines, in cooperation with the pivot 10, a guiding passage 13 for a portion of the connecting element 5 that is arranged between the slot 11 and a side of the connecting element 5 that faces the resting element 12.
  • the resting element 12 is preferably constituted by a roller 14 or a pulley, which is pivoted to the coupling element 2 about a fourth axis 15, which is parallel to the main axis 4.
  • the elastic means 6 are constituted by a helical spring 16, which is connected, with one of its ends, to the coupling element 2 and, with its opposite end, to the portion of the connecting element 5 that is arranged opposite the second axis 8 with respect to the third axis 9.
  • the friction means 7 comprise a pair of plates 17a, 17b, preferably made of synthetic material, which are fitted on the pivot 10 with the connecting element 5 interposed so as to engage the two opposite larger faces of the connecting element 5.
  • pushing means 18 are provided for pushing the plates 17a, 17b against the two opposite faces of the connecting element 5.
  • the pusher means 18 comprise at least one spring 19, which is constituted preferably by a conical helical spring which is fitted around the pivot 10 and is interposed between a shoulder 10a of the pivot 10 and one of the two plates 17a, 17b so as to pack together the plates 17a, 17b and the connecting element 5.
  • one of the two plates 17a, 17b, constituted by the plate 17a, is interposed between the connecting element 5 and the coupling element 2, while the other plate 17b is interposed between the connecting element 5 and one end of the spring 19, which engages, with its opposite end, against the shoulder 10a that is formed at one end of the pivot 10.
  • two hinges according to the invention are used which are fixed by means of the coupling element 2 to the body of the appliance and by means of the supporting element 3 to the door so that the main axes of the two hinges coincide, generally horizontally, so as to define the axis about which the door is rotated in order to open and close the appliance.
  • the two hinges are arranged proximate to the lower side of the door, so that the rotation axis of the door is proximate and parallel to the lower side.
  • the spring 19 of the pusher means 18 has the effect of increasing the friction between the plates 17a, 17b and the connecting element 5 and to recover any plays arising from the machining tolerances of the plates 17a, 17b of the coupling element 2, of the pivot 10 and of the connecting element 5, and of compensating for the wear of the plates 17a, 17b.
  • the hinge according to the invention fully achieves the intended aim, since it allows to stop the opening of the door in any position despite a structure that is extremely simple and composed of a limited number of elements that are simple to manufacture and assemble.
  • the materials used, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
