Description

L'invention se rapporte à un lave-vaisselle muni d'un dispositif de lestage comprenant une masse de lestage fixée à la structure du lave-vaisselle pour servir de contrepoids anti-basculement.The invention relates to a dishwasher provided with a device for ballast comprising a ballast mass fixed to the structure of the dishwasher to serve as an anti-tip counterweight.

Il est connu, pour assurer la stabilité des lave-vaisselle, de prévoir une masse de lestage servant de contrepoids, notamment lors de l'ouverture de la porte et de la sortie des paniers. Ce lest peut être situé soit à l'intérieur du soubassement de l'appareil, soit dans la partie supérieure ou les parties latérales. Cependant un premier inconvénient de ces réalisations est que la position du lest n'est pas optimum pour assurer le meilleur contrepoids possible. Un autre inconvénient est que, dans le cas de montage en position supérieure ou latérale très proche ou contre la cuve, les chocs lors des manipulations et du transport peuvent avoir des conséquences néfastes du fait de répercussion de contraintes appliquées à la cuve par le lest.It is known, to ensure the stability of dishwashers, to provide a ballast mass serving as a counterweight, especially when opening from the door and the basket exit. This ballast can be located either inside the base of the appliance, either in the upper part or the parts side. However, a first drawback of these achievements is that the ballast position is not optimal to ensure the best counterweight possible. Another disadvantage is that, in the case of mounting in position upper or lateral very close to or against the tank, shocks during handling and transport can have harmful consequences effect of stress applied to the tank by the ballast.

D'autre part, il est nécessaire, dans les lave-vaisselle, de pouvoir accéder aux composants (pompes, électrovannes, etc...) et à leurs raccordements (électriques ou tuyauteries) qui sont majoritairement placés sous la cuve à l'intérieur du soubassement. Ceci nécessite habituellement le démontage d'un panneau, d'une paroi ou d'une trappe, donc un certain nombre de manipulations lors des opérations de maintenance.On the other hand, it is necessary, in dishwashers, to be able access components (pumps, solenoid valves, etc.) and their connections (electrical or piping) which are mainly placed under the tank inside the base. This usually requires the dismantling of a panel, wall or hatch, so some number of operations during maintenance operations.

Une solution pour remédier à ces divers inconvénients est d'utiliser la masse de lestage comme pièce de fermeture pour une ouverture d'accès située à l'arrière du lave-vaisselle.One solution to overcome these various disadvantages is to use the ballast mass as a closing piece for an opening located at the back of the dishwasher.

Par ailleurs, certains composants du lave-vaisselle tels la motopompe sont relativement lourds en même temps, dans le cas de la motopompe, elle est la source de vibrations importantes lors de son fonctionnement.In addition, certain components of the dishwasher such as the motor pump are relatively heavy at the same time, in the case of motor pump, it is the source of significant vibrations during its operation.

L'invention a pour objet de mettre à profit l'utilisation de la masse de lestage comme pièce de fermeture et l'intérêt qu'il y a à renforcer l'efficacité du lestage reporté en arrière, en fixant à la masse les composants les plus lourds, en suspendant la motopompe à cette masse de lestage pour, grâce à la masse et à la raideur de celle-ci, amortir les vibrations dues à la motopompe.The object of the invention is to take advantage of the use of mass ballast as a closing piece and the interest in strengthening the efficiency of the ballast carried back, by fixing the components to earth the heaviest, by suspending the motor pump to this ballast mass for, thanks to its mass and stiffness, dampen vibrations due to motor pump.

Selon l'invention, il est donc prévu un lave-vaisselle tel que défini dans les revendications.According to the invention, there is therefore provided a dishwasher as defined in the claims.

L'invention présente plusieurs avantages. D'une part, la masse de lestage est disposée complètement à l'arrière du lave-vaisselle, au plus près du mur puisqu'aucune autre pièce de fermeture n'existe entre le lest et le mur, et le plus bas possible. Ceci assure l'efficacité maximum du lest pour la stabilité de l'appareil. D'autre part, aucun autre système amovible (trappe, carter) ou non (paroi...) n'est nécessaire pour fermer la partie inférieure arrière du lave-vaisselle puisque c'est la masse de lestage qui assure elle-même la fonction de fermeture. Ainsi, l'accès aux composants internes et raccordements est largement amélioré et simplifié, la dépose du lest étant facile. En outre, le montage de la masse de lestage selon l'invention est un facteur de rigidité de l'ensemble du lave-vaisselle. Enfin, plus particulièrement, la suspension de la motopompe à la masse de lestage contribue à l'efficacité du lestage et surtout permet de profiter de la masse et de la raideur de la masse de lestage comme massif d'ancrage pour absorber les vibrations dues au fonctionnement de la motopompe.The invention has several advantages. On the one hand, the mass of the ballast is placed completely behind the dishwasher, as close as possible of the wall since no other closing piece exists between the ballast and the wall, and as low as possible. This ensures maximum ballast efficiency for stability of the device. On the other hand, no other removable system (hatch, casing) or not (wall ...) is necessary to close the lower part rear of the dishwasher since it is the ballast mass that ensures the closing function. So access to internal components and connections is greatly improved and simplified, the removal of the ballast being easy. In addition, the mounting of the ballast mass according to the invention is a stiffness factor for the entire dishwasher. Finally, more in particular, the suspension of the motor pump to the ballast mass contributes to the efficiency of ballasting and above all allows you to take advantage of the mass and the stiffness of the ballast mass as an anchor mass to absorb vibrations due to the operation of the motor-driven pump.

L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres caractéristiques et avantages apparaítront à l'aide de la description ci-après et des dessins joints où:

  • la Figure 1 est un schéma de principe d'un lave-vaisselle selon l'invention;
  • la Figure 2 illustre schématiquement un mode de réalisation possible ; et
  • la Figure 3 est un mode de réalisation illustrant un autre aspect de l'invention.
The invention will be better understood and other characteristics and advantages will appear with the aid of the description below and of the accompanying drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is a block diagram of a dishwasher according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 schematically illustrates a possible embodiment; and
  • Figure 3 is an embodiment illustrating another aspect of the invention.

Sur le schéma de principe de la Figure 1 est représenté un lave-vaisselle en vue latérale comprenant une cuve 1 disposée au-dessus d'un soubassement 4 à l'intérieur duquel on dispose en général un certain nombre de composants, tels que pompes, électrovannes, etc..., et leurs raccordements, électriques (câblages...) et tuyauteries. Le soubassement 4 présente, à l'arrière du lave-vaisselle, une ouverture 40 qui permet d'accéder aux composants et à leurs raccordements. Pour fermer cette ouverture 40, l'invention prévoit d'utiliser la masse de lestage 2 qui est conformée d'une part pour assurer sa fonction de lest (volume, poids, matériau) et d'autre part pour assurer la fonction de fermeture de l'ouverture 40. La masse de lestage 2 est fixée en place par des moyens de fixation assurant son maintien en place. Ces moyens peuvent être de divers types et peuvent par exemple être constitués par une ou des vis 3 traversant la masse de lestage pour se visser au soubassement 4 ou à des éléments qui en sont rendus solidaires.In the block diagram of Figure 1 is represented a dishwasher in side view comprising a tank 1 disposed above a base 4 inside which there is generally a certain number components, such as pumps, solenoid valves, etc., and their connections, electrical (wiring ...) and piping. The base 4 has, at the back of the dishwasher, an opening 40 which allows access components and their connections. To close this opening 40, the invention provides for using the ballast mass 2 which is shaped part to ensure its ballast function (volume, weight, material) and secondly to perform the closing function of the opening 40. The ballast mass 2 is fixed in place by fixing means ensuring its maintenance in square. These means can be of various types and can for example be constituted by one or more screws 3 passing through the ballast mass to be screwed to the base 4 or to elements which are made integral therewith.

Grâce à la position de la masse 2 le plus en arrière (et le plus bas) possible, on obtient un effet de contrepoids optimum pour éviter tout basculement vers l'avant. D'autre part, on assure la fermeture de l'arrière du lave-vaisselle sans aucun élément supplémentaire, tel que paroi ou trappe, tout en permettant un accès aisé aux composants internes.Thanks to the position of the rearmost (and lowest) mass 2 possible, we obtain an optimum counterweight effect to avoid any tilting forward. On the other hand, it ensures the closure of the rear of the dishwasher without any additional element, such as wall or hatch, while allowing easy access to internal components.

De préférence, comme représenté très schématiquement sur la Figure 2, on peut utiliser comme moyens de fixation une seule vis 3 disposée sensiblement dans la partie centrale du lest 2. Au lieu de prévoir un trou dans la masse de lestage pour le passage de la vis 3, on peut simplement prévoir une fente 20 oblongue partant de la partie inférieure du lest et adaptée au passage de la vis 3, pour simplifier la réalisation du lest moulé.Preferably, as shown very schematically on the Figure 2, one can use as fixing means a single screw 3 disposed substantially in the central part of the ballast 2. Instead of providing a hole in the ballast mass for the passage of the screw 3, one can simply provide an oblong slot 20 starting from the lower part of the ballast and adapted to the passage of the screw 3, to simplify the production of the molded ballast.

La masse de lestage est conformée pour assurer sa fonction de fermeture tout en la dimensionnant de façon à éviter tout contact avec la cuve. Ceci supprime les effets néfastes du lest sur la cuve en cas de chocs au cours du transport ou de l'installation du lave-vaisselle.The ballast mass is shaped to ensure its function of closure while dimensioning it so as to avoid any contact with the tank. This eliminates the harmful effects of the ballast on the tank in the event of impact during transport or installation of the dishwasher.

La masse de lestage peut être en tout matériau habituel, tel que métal, agglomérés ou béton. Elle peut être de préférence en béton moulé.The ballast mass can be of any usual material, such as metal, agglomerates or concrete. It can preferably be in molded concrete.

Sur la Figure 3, on a illustré de manière un peu plus précise un mode de réalisation de l'invention. On retrouve, avec les mêmes références, les éléments déjà rencontrés précédemment, à savoir le soubassement ou châssis 4 avec son ouverture arrière que vient fermer la masse de lestage 2, la vis 3 de fixation et la cuve 1 qui repose sur le soubassement 4 lorsque le lave-vaisselle est assemblé. L'ensemble est maintenu et fermé notamment par les parois latérales 7 et 8, qui peuvent présenter des retours plus ou moins importants tel que le retour 80.In Figure 3, a slightly more specific illustration is shown embodiment of the invention. We find, with the same references, the elements already encountered previously, namely the base or chassis 4 with its rear opening closed by the ballast mass 2, the fixing screw 3 and the tank 1 which rests on the base 4 when the dishwasher is assembled. The whole is maintained and closed in particular by the side walls 7 and 8, which may have returns more or less important such as return 80.

Pour reporter à l'arrière le maximum de poids, on peut y reporter les composants les plus lourds et, en particulier, la motopompe 6 et profiter de la présence de la masse de lestage 2 assurant une bonne rigidité pour y suspendre la motopompe. Cet aspect de l'invention a au moins un double avantage : d'une part la masse de la motopompe reportée en arrière contribue à l'efficacité du lestage et permet de diminuer la masse de lestage 2 ; d'autre part, la masse de lestage 2 à laquelle est suspendue la motopompe 6 permet, grâce à sa masse et sa rigidité d'absorber au mieux les vibrations dues au fonctionnement de la motopompe.To carry the maximum weight back, you can carry it the heaviest components and in particular the motor pump 6 and take advantage the presence of the ballast mass 2 ensuring good rigidity for suspend the motor pump. This aspect of the invention has at least a double advantage: on the one hand the mass of the motor pump carried back contributes to the efficiency of the ballast and allows to reduce the ballast mass 2; on the other hand, the ballast mass 2 to which the motor pump 6 allows, thanks to its mass and rigidity to absorb at best vibrations due to the operation of the motor-driven pump.

Pratiquement, comme le montre la Figure 3, on peut prévoir une potence 5 sur laquelle la motopompe 6 est suspendue par l'intermédiaire d'un silentbloc 60 immobilisé d'une part dans une ouverture de la potence 5 et supportant d'autre part la pompe par l'intermédiaire d'un doigt solidaire de celle-ci et s'engageant dans un trou central du silentbloc 60. La vis 3 de fixation de la masse de lestage 2 traverse la paroi arrière 42 du soubassement 4 et vient se visser en 51 dans la partie verticale de la potence 5 immobilisant ainsi ensemble la masse de lestage, le châssis et la potence, donc la motopompe. Un ergot 52 de la potence vient interdire la rotation de la potence lors du vissage ou dévissage de la vis 3.In practice, as shown in Figure 3, we can provide a bracket 5 on which the motor pump 6 is suspended by means a silentbloc 60 immobilized on the one hand in an opening of the bracket 5 and supporting on the other hand the pump by means of a finger integral with this and engaging in a central hole of the silentbloc 60. The screw 3 of fixing the ballast mass 2 through the rear wall 42 of the base 4 and is screwed at 51 in the vertical part of the jib 5 thus immobilizing together the ballast mass, the chassis and the gallows, so the motor pump. A lug 52 of the bracket prohibits the rotation of the stem when screwing or unscrewing the screw 3.

Un tel montage de la motopompe sur la masse de lestage est très avantageux par rapport aux montages classiques de celle-ci sur le châssis. En effet, dans ces montages classiques, il est nécessaire de renforcer le châssis pour supporter le poids de la motopompe et assurer le transfert correct des efforts vers les pieds du lave-vaisselle reposant au sol. De plus, la masse de lestage assure un amortissement maximum des vibrations dues à la pompe.Such mounting of the motor pump on the ballast mass is very advantageous compared to conventional mounting thereof on the chassis. Indeed, in these conventional arrangements, it is necessary to strengthen the chassis to support the weight of the motor pump and ensure transfer correct efforts towards the feet of the dishwasher resting on the floor. Moreover, the ballast mass ensures maximum absorption of vibrations due at the pump.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples décrits.Of course, the invention is not limited to the examples described.

Notamment, on pourrait imaginer de supprimer toute vis de fixation, la masse de lestage et l'ouverture du soubassement pouvant avoir des formes complémentaires telles que la masse s'emboíte et/ou se verrouille de manière adéquate. Par exemple , une méthode peut consister, lors du montage du lave-vaisselle, à emboíter verticalement le lest dans un logement approprié du soubassement en bas de l'ouverture arrière puis à la maintenir en position grâce au positionnement de la cuve sur le châssis, l'ensemble cuve-châssis étant alors bloqué par les parois latérales du lave-vaisselle qui sont fixées à l'avant et à l'arrière. Pour le démontage, on peut simplement désassembler à l'arrière les parois latérales. On peut basculer légèrement la cuve vers l'avant, ce qui libérera la masse de lestage qu'on pourra déboíter en la soulevant puis en la retirant vers l'arrière.In particular, one could imagine removing any screw fixing, the ballast mass and the opening of the base may have complementary forms such that the mass fits and / or locks adequately. For example, one method could be, when mounting the dishwasher, vertically fit the ballast into a suitable housing for the base at the bottom of the rear opening and then at the keep in position thanks to the positioning of the tank on the chassis, the tank-chassis assembly then being blocked by the side walls of the dishwasher which are attached to the front and rear. For disassembly, you can simply disassemble the side walls at the back. We can switch the tank slightly forward, which will release the ballast mass that can dislodge by lifting it up and then pulling it back.

Un autre exemple pourrait être de prévoir un verrouillage du lest directement par les deux panneaux latéraux.Another example could be to provide a ballast lock directly by the two side panels.

Un autre exemple pourrait être aussi de prévoir un emboítement latéral par un côté du lest sur le bord de l'ouverture arrière du soubassement où on peut engager le lest par l'arrière, le verrouillage en place étant alors assuré par le retour de la paroi latérale opposée. Dans les deux exemples précédents, pour le démontage, il suffit de désassembler la ou les parois latérales à l'arrière et de les écarter grâce à leur souplesse pour libérer la masse de lestage.Another example could also be to provide a nesting lateral by one side of the ballast on the edge of the rear opening of the base where the ballast can be engaged from the rear, the locking in place then being ensured by the return of the opposite side wall. In the two examples previous, for disassembly, just disassemble the wall (s) side at the back and spread them thanks to their flexibility to release the ballast mass.
